Chapter 4

"Who are you?" Yusuke demanded jabbing his finger into the guys chest. He swatted Yusuke's hand away.

"None of your business detective." He glared at the team as they stood up. Hiei and Yusuke were close to the same height, if you didn't count hair. Kurama was taller ther the two of them and he was a little taller then Kuwabara.

"Great another Hiei." Kuwabara muttered. "The only thing is, I don't think he had poison affect his growth." Hiei glared at Kuwabara murderously.

"Urusai baka. If you know what's good for you." Hiei remembered the side effects of the cure to a poison that had plagued his body. He grew taller and his anger and blood lust were harder to control. "If you hadn't gotten your self captured, I wouldn't have gotten poisoned."

"Let's just get this chick to Koenma before she wakes up okay?" Yusuke said, as Hiei picked up Ki gently, carrying her bridal style up to the castle. The group followed him talking amongst each other.

"My name is Kishin, I don't have a last name so don't ask it." Kishin snapped as Kuwabara opened his mouth. "Look I'm not in a good mood so just get off my case." Yusuke snorted and helped Kurama with Kuwabara. They took him to the hospital as Hiei to Ki to her new prison cell. Kishin met up with Koenma in his office.

"Damn it Kishin! You are now a spirit detective! Get your head out of the clouds and on the here and now. There is nothing you can do for her unless something comes up, and you are not allowed to go watch over her. If they catch you hanging around her, they are going to kill you if they find you. You know this." Koenma said his voice softening, "Your father is a good man but he's bound by the laws of his people. To them you are a mistake, you weren't supposed to be born."

"I know Koenma, I would probably be dead if you didn't help me when you did, but not even my mother's people will let me in. I mean they killed her as soon as they found out what I was, I just barely got away." Kishin's voice could barely be heard by a Boton and Kurama as they eaves dropped. "Damn Koenma you need to keep Boton from eaves dropping on our conversations."

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever." Koenma faced the doors as they swung open. Boton and Kurama tumbled into the room Kishin caught Boton as she fell. She blushed but passed it off for embarrassment. "What are you two doing here?"

"Koenma we need you to come down to the prison block, the guards were beating up Okibi and well Hiei's about to kill them." Kurama said as Koenma screamed, "NANI!" He made a portal and arrived just in time to stop Hiei from cutting through the bars of a cell and killing the guards inside.

Ki's ankled were tied and she was half kneeling between two guards. It was plainly obvious that she as only half conscious so the guards took it upon them selves to "wake" her up. Her writs were tied behind her as well and each guard had a firm hold of her fore arm. A third was pummeling her in the stomach and blood was leaking from the corners of her mouth.

"Stop!" Koenma ordered making the guard freeze. He pointed the guard that was punching Ki, "You go stand out side of the cell." He quickly dismissed the two other guards who looked relieved.

He faced Ki seriously as she was dropped on the ground. She laid there for a minute before pushing herself up into a sitting position.

"Are you here to pound on me to? Or do I get to see Enma yet?" she croaked, voice hoarse. She didn't even bother to look at Koenma.

"I'm afraid my father is ill and can't come to see you." Ki's head shot up to glare at Koenma. "You are Okibi Dokuja also known as Shien correct?"

"Hai, look I can help you if you help me." Ki said, staring Koenma in the eye, "I know what your thinking, 'It's just a bluff. She can't mean it.' Right? I know you have every right not to believe me after what I've done."

"You're responsible for countless lives. Murders hundreds of years of grief. New races that only cause more pain and destruction. You have a lot to answer for, not to mention the murder of my grandfather and attempted murder of my father." Koenma said, "But you have died before and have come back. How and why?"

"Yes I do have a lot of sins to atone for and yes I did die. I went straight to hell as a matter of fact." Boton's eyes widened. "I was doomed to go to hell anyway. I was young and rash my father is Satan so I figured what I did with my life wouldn't matter to where I would end up." Ki laughed bitterly. "My father was scared by the power I had come up with within four hundred years young for any demon. Some of my power was stripped from me and sealed away in a ring, bracelet, necklace, and he told me my soulmate. I scoffed at him furious he was taking away my power. But he wasn't done with me. He sent me back into the world of the living.

"If my friends hadn't recovered my body, I would be a wandering soul without one. I'm sure the Rekai would have destroyed it thoroughly to prevent my coming back." Ki sighed, "After that I made a seal for my tomb, I never activated it until I was sick of living. Each time I fell asleep a friend had died or had been slaughtered. Most of the time I spent hunting their killer down and slaughtering him. Staying out of sight and out of mind, mostly. But the first time I came back I had a friend explain the soulmate thing to me. She said, Think if a soul as two perfectly interlocking pieces. Then break it apart and give each half to a boy and a girl. Neither of them will be completely whole or happy without each other. It's the flaw among demons and humans that ties us together. The soulmates share pain, love, anger, everything. You can't hide from your soulmate when you find him. Your soul wont let you period. So I decided to ask a smart ass question. I asked her why no one I knew had found their soulmate and she gave me a smart ass answer, Because dummy, in the demon world your more likely to get killed before you ever meet your soulmate. And humans are too dumb to see what's right in front of them.

"So if I can find my soulmate, I can get some of my power back, and maybe he can help me find the rest of it." Ki sighed, her head pounding. "But before I had no luck and the last time I sealed myself away and let my body rot, were as my mind and soul couldn't."

"But what do you need our help with?" Koenma said, almost afraid of her answer.

Ki sighed before clawing apart her ropes and holding out her wrists for Koenma, "Kiriai did something to me before she brought my body back. I have been asleep for too long and know nothing of the technology this era has produced. I need help, I think these might have something to do with it." As Koenma examined the metal bands around her wrists she told him there was another one wrapped around her torso, just below the ribcage.

"So if we get these off of you, you won't be under Kiriai's control, and how would you help us?"

"I can fight. These things are suppressing my energy even further, and some of the guards have rather loose tongues." Ki couldn't help a small smirk coming to her face. "I can get information when I need it. How do you think I got so far in taking over all three worlds?"

"Good point." Ki glared at Kurama from the corner of her eyes as he tried to get closer. He smiled nervously and took a step back. Koenma took a deep breath and walked out of the cell. "I'll think about this immediately. But you're to stay here, Hiei your in charge of guarding her." He glared at the guard who he told to wait out side.

"Attacking an enemy in self defense when said enemy is a prisoner is one thing. But attacking said prisoner, when she was tied up and couldn't attack you or fight back is a whole other matter. We are supposed to be the good guys." Koenma glared at the guard with distaste, recognizing him as the captain of the prison guards. "Hiei you're in charge of his punishment. And you are now stripped of your title as captain. You don't even qualify as a grunt anymore." With that her Boton, Kurama, and Kishin left the prison block.

Hiei faced Ki as she fell to the side, wanting nothing more then to curl up and sleep. Getting out of Kiriai's grasp was harder then she thought it would be. Then fighting the Spirit Detectives took what energy she had left away. Her eyes snapped open as Hiei entered her cell and cut the bonds at her feet.

"Get some water and food." Hiei snapped at the unlucky demon put in his charge. The demon scowled but seeing Hiei's glare scurried off to avoid angering the fire youkai.

Nothing was said between the two as Hiei started to clean her up the best he could. Only after the demon came back with the food did she say anything.

"Why are you doing this?"

"I was told to." Hiei snorted.

"You were put in charge of guarding me, not taking care of me." Ki shot back, wincing slightly as Hiei pushed against the wound in her back, that he himself inflicted.

"If you're going to help us onna, you need to be in the position to fight. Not in the hospital with infected injuries." Hiei said, surprising himself with the calmness in his voice.

It was silent for another long moment. "Don't call me onna, my name is Ki." Hiei grunted in acknowledgement and finished what he was doing quickly before rounding on the guard with a evil glint in his eye.

"So do you think what she said was true?" Yusuke asked crossing his arms doubtfully.

Koenma sighed, "Those bands around her wrists were defiantly suppressing her spirit energy. I could feel it by touching them. Having that much of her power suppressed, it cripples her. She can't fight like she's accustomed to. My father sall your fight and laughed, she's a shadow of what she once was. The skill still shows but she can't get the power she needs to harness it. That is what made her so great. Her power fed her skill and she used them in perfect balance." Koenma sighed, running a hand through his hair.

"If we can release that energy who says she won't double cross us?"

"I don't think she will Yusuke. She's a dragon demon, the elite of shape shifters. And they can't be grouped together without sharing a cause. That was part of the reason that led to their destruction. Okibi held them together, and when she died they felt a strong sense of hay fever and attacked each other. By the time they realized other demons were picking off their race it was too late. There were to few of them to stop it." Kurama said, "And judging from the way she talked about Kiriai, she wants to kill her badly for crippling her."

"How do you know all this Kurama?" Koenma and Yusuke asked surprised.

"Yoko was extremely interested in Okibi's rule. Except he learned from what happened after her death. It was a huge impact on the world today." Kurama said simply, almost as though he was saying the sky was blue.

"But dragons can't kill their own family with out dying themselves." Koenma said.

"I think Okibi is tiered of being among the living. I think that killing Kiriai is her way of repaying her dept."

Author's Note: Don't expect to get three chapters so close to each other again. I had insparation and I'm making up for my week's vacation. And school's going to start for me in two weeks . . . is there a reason why no one is reviewing?
