A few minutes after Sera had been dropped off for the surgery, Hiei and Kurama were told by Koenma to fill in the rest of the team. Yukina and Keiko were in there as well, so Hiei kept silent while Kurama cleared his throat, a signal, that everyone obeyed, for them to quiet down.

"We just got back from the discussion with Sera, and Koenma has ordered me to fill you in on any questions you might need entertained." Everybody started talking and asking questions at once, making it hard for Kurama to understand much of anything that was being said.

"Alright, calm down everyone!", he shouted above them. "I cant understand you when you're all talking at once, so please, one question at a time. Yusuke."

"Er...Why did we have to leave while you two were allowed to stay?" The real reason was that Hiei and Kurama would be needed later during the oporation, and Koenma didnt want anyone trying to butt in, but Kurama wasn't going to say that. He didn't like lying, so he edged around it.

"He felt that it would be easier for us to know first, so then we could tell you later, without as much confusion." Yusuke seemed satisfied by the answer, but had another.

"Well, what was it about?" This one, Kurama was obliged to tell.

"Koenma asked Sera to agree to have surgery for an implantation of a jagan eye." Immediately, there was more disorder, until Kuwabara wondered outloud,

"Well, why would he want to do that for?! He's already got Hiei and HIS jagan eye!"

"All that we were told," said Kurama in the calm after his question, "was that he needs a human with a jagan. We werent told anything more. Hiei couldn't even find the answer in Koenma's mind, before you ask, Yusuke." Now, there was a strong silence over them all, each mind questioning the reason for Koenma's need. Botan broke the silence.

"Did she accept?"

"She did. She's in the infirmary for surgery as we speak. If all goes well, as planned, they'll be needing us at any moment."

"Waaait a minute.", said Yusuke suspiciously. "Everybody that I've ever seen come in here have had some kind of denial or something when they're told where they're at. She just...up and agreed? Just like that?" He was right. All the other recruits, whether they be demon or human, as long as they had come from Ningenkai, the human world, they had always had questions.

"No," Kurama said with a sigh, "she didn't have any questions, doubts, denials, anything. She just agreed to have it done." Botan was about to ask another question when she was interrupted by the PA coming on.

"Hiei, you're needed in the operating room. Bring Kurama with you, too, if you would." Hiei indifferent, Kurama relieved to be finished playing 20 questions, the two of them walked to the oporating room. Once inside, they were greeted with the pungent odor of hospital cleaner and the metallic smell of blood. Koenma himself was already inside, in teenage form, watching scrutinitly at everything the doctors did.

"You needed us, Koenma?", Kurama spoke.

"Ah, yes, yes. Everything's in place and the doctors are ready to start, whenever the two of you are ready. Doctors?" Kurama, Hiei, and Koenma turned to the head surgeon. He didnt look at them, concentrating on Sera.

"Alright, Kurama, I need you to go ahead and start preparing your medicinal formula. Hiei, over here, if you please, we're ready to have you start blocking." Kurama walked to go get what he needed and Hiei grunted a reply before walking over and starting his task. He knew what to do only through a briefing about twenty minutes before Sera woke up. This was purely experimental, but none of them wanted to fail. Before he started he repeated to himself what Koenma said that he must do.

' "Get inside her mind. Press back and stop the flow of memories and create barriers around them to keep them stopped. Draw out her spirit energy and then secure it the same way as her memories, then get out. Do not stay in for too long, stay in only for as long as you need."'

'Hn...' Uncovering the headband covering his jagan eye for the second time that day, he dove into Sera's subconscious, his own focused on what he needed to do.
