AUTHORS NOTE: Crit is welcome! I don't think there's anything else I need to comment on. Would you guys like to see me updating this story quicker? I have the whole series done it's just a matter of me uploading it lol.

Just as you're getting used to the baby and ogre, in walks a blue haired girl carrying an oar. In her wake followed a cocky looking, black haired boy, along with a feminine, red-haired boy.

The black haired boy looked over at you and smirked, "Who's the hottie in Hiei's clothes? Yall have a quickie before you came in?"

"Quiet, baka onna," was all Hiei said.

You ignore him and continue to stare at the ogre.

"Alright, you idiots, you're all late," the 'baby' finally spoke up.

"Holy crap!" you whisper quietly.

Hiei smirks at your comment but does not try to explain about the 'baby.'

"I've called you all here…wait. Why is the human here? Oh, wait we need her! Don't let her go!" the baby says frantically.

At once, everyone except Hiei and Kurama make a move to try and stop you from leaving.

"Um…I'm not going anywhere," you say matter of factly.

"Ahaha! We knew that! We were just preparing," Kuwabara says stupidly

You grinned, but refrained from saying anything.

"Why do we need her?" Yusuke questioned.

"W-well…I don't know if she knows or not…about her parents and Leaf, I mean," the baby said uneasily.

Fear clenched you heart, "How do you know Leaf? What do you want with me? Are you going to bring me back to him?! I won't let you!"

"Calm down! We're not going to return you to that man. Or actually, I should say 'demon,'" the baby corrected himself.

"D-demon? Leaf?" you stuttered in horror.

"Yes, maybe I should explain from the beginning. First of all, I am Koenma. I help rule the Renkai with my father and I'm NOT an actual baby. Anyways, your mother and father were killed by the Yakuza, correct? Then you were sent to an orphanage, you ran away, Leaf took you in and then turned you into a prostitute, correct?" Koenma asks you for verification.

You nod sullenly.

"Well, have you ever wondered why your parents were killed?" Koenma asked, not breaking eye contact with you.

You shift your gaze, "At the orphanage they told me it was because my father owed money to them."

"That is not entirely correct. Your mother and father were both demons. They were horrified to find that they had somehow produced a completely human baby. An agreement was made between them and Leaf that if you did not gain any demonic powers or strengths by age 5 they would give you away to Leaf to use as a um…prostitute in his whore house. Your parents grew to love you even though you were human and tried to protect you. They sent you to an orphanage, leaving a note giving the Yakuza explanation. Leaf killed them for disobedience. He could not take you from the orphanage because the spirit world could protect you in there. When you ran away, it was victory for him. I don't know how you managed to escape but now you are safe again," Koenma finished.

"But…uh…Leaf…my mom….dad…demons?" you stuttered, awestruck.

"Yes, you are a rare breed. Both of your parents were pureblood earth demons, but you somehow ended up completely human. Amazing, really," Koenma said, a smile creeping from beneath his pacifier.

"But…how do you know I'm safe?" you ask, in fear.

"That gets me to my main point for bringing the rest of you idiots here. I wanted you to go rescue this girl from Leaf. From now on you are her guardians. Also, you will need to find Leaf and, if possible, dispose of him. Mitsuki, you will be staying with us here. We don't have a room ready for you yet so you will have to stay in one of theirs. Botan's would be the most reasonable, but it is your choice. Now, everyone out of my office," Koenma shooed you all out.

As you were exiting, you turned in time to see the blue ogre talking to Koenma fervidly.
All the new, surprising information along with ogres and demons was overwhelming. No longer able to hold onto reality, you felt your vision slip into darkness and you heard a few shouts of your name before slipping to the ground.

HIEI'S P.O.V.

"Shit!" you cursed as you saw the frail girl sink to the ground. You quickly caught her before she hit the floor.

"What happened to her?" Kuwabara asked staring at her.

"I think the sudden-ness of everything overwhelmed her," Kurama said wisely, surveying the girl.

"Bring her into my room and I will care for her. Quickly!" Botan urged you.

Nodding, you and Botan hurry down the hall to her room. Botan opens the door to reveal her hideously bright room.

"How can she stand all this light?!" you thought, squinting slightly.

"Over here," Botan urged, directing you towards her bed.

As you arrive at the bedside you hesitate to put her down. You didn't want her to freak out when she woke up and didn't recognize anything or anyone.

"She'll be fine, I promise. I'll take good care of her," Botan said cheerily.

"Hn," was your only reply before reluctantly placing her on the bed.

Backing away you watched Botan tend to the girl before turning to leave.

"Wait, Hiei. Really, don't worry too much about her. I know you see yourself in her but she's a strong girl. She'll be just fine," Botan said with an encouraging smile.

"Hn," you said before walking out.

On your way back to your room you meet Kurama who is leaning against your door.

"Hiei, that girl, you and her are very similar. I know you are worried. I can tell, you're not your

normal self. Just remember, she's a human and you're a demon. You cant protect her forever. She will eventually die and her soul will pass while we are still left on this Earth," Kurama warned gently.

"Hn, like I'd ever get attached to a human," you say before walking into your room and closing the door behind you.
