Kurama and Hiei watched the two walk from the room. They waited until both of them were completely out of range before turning to stare at Koenma. Well, Kurama was doing a neutral stare but Hiei's was more of a glare and a promise of pain if his questions were not answered.

Koenma stopped his stuttering and took a deep breath as he realized the looks that two of his detectives were giving him. He could tell they had questions and they wanted their answers now. As he glanced down at the file on his desk, he made his decision. He would tell these two and see their reactions.

Silently, he slid the folder over. Project Shikon was written across the folder in big, bold letters. Kurama and Hiei shared a quick glance before Kurama picked it up. Hiei stood at his shoulder so they could read it together.

Kurama and Hiei both began reading the report. Kurama could feel the air heat up around him as he flipped each page. It was the only sign of Hiei's rage until they got to the pictures. It was everything he could do to control himself as well. His own hands were shaking slightly as he turned each picture. It was the only sign of his rage until they got to the very last page and picture. His eyes widened in total disbelief and the edge of the file began to smoke.

He was quick to snap the file shut as he shoved his emotions to the back of his mind. Right now was a time when he would have to use cold practicality. Nothing short of that would help the situation he now found they were a part of. He knew that neither he nor Hiei could ignore what was in that file.

'What do you want to do?' Hiei asked telepathically to Kurama. His eyes were closed and his fists were clenched as he tried to control himself. The only outward sign of his struggle was the steam coming off of his clothes and skin. He had seen many horrible things in his life and had committed his own share of sins but what was in that file was beyond anything he had ever imagined.

'I believe there is only one thing we can do now, Hiei,' Kurama answered back as he closed his eyes as well. It hid the fact that gold was leaking into his eyes. He could be ruthless and cold when attacked but he also had his own code that he lived by and what he just saw made even his stomach turn.

'And what's that?' Hiei asked curiously. He had finally managed to push his rage just below the surface. He wanted to go and destroy Enma right then but he knew better.

Kurama's eyes snapped open as he answered, 'We wait and see what choice Prince Koenma makes.'

Koenma eyed the two demons in front of him nervously as they read through the file. Sweat built up on his temple as heat and steam began coming off of Hiei but he refused to move. If he could not even face these two after they learned the truth, then he didn't deserve their loyalty or to ask of them what he feared he would have to.

He stood up straighter in his chair as Hiei and Kurama opened up their eyes. Both of their gazes were locked onto him.

Kurama was the one who stepped forward and laid the file right in front of Koenma. He planned on finding out how much Koenma knew and if he had sanctioned any of it. He then opened the file to the last picture and file and moved it closer to Koenma.

Koenma gave Kurama a nervous glance but knew he had to read the added section. It only took him a minute to read it all and see the picture. His whole body paled as he slammed the file shut and fell into his seat. 'Oh god,' he thought before he moved to his trashcan a foot away and threw up in it.

He was shocked to find a hand on his back as he finished throwing up. When he looked up, it was Kurama. He had a flower in his hands that was full of nectar.

"It will help with nauseous and will also clear the taste and smell from your mouth," Kurama said as he handed him the flower.

Koenma accepted it gratefully and hoped the gesture meant that they were at least willing to hear him out. He stood up and backed away from the trashcan and wasn't surprised when it went up in flames. He knew the smell had to bother the two demons but at the moment he couldn't summon up any embarrassment, especially after what he had seen. It also helped with the decision he had to make.

As he got back in his seat, Kurama and Hiei moved to stand in front of his desk. He stared down at the closed file and felt his confidence increase about the choice he was about to make.

"Kurama. Hiei. I've made my decision," he stated in a strong, even voice as he glared at the file.

In response to his statement, both demons stood straighter and their power began to surface just below their skin. "And what decision would that be?" Kurama asked.

Koenma's eyes snapped up to look at both of them. The determination in his eyes was enough to impress both demons. They had never seen him look his part of being a prince.

Koenma then began glowing in power. His body shifted into his teenage form and tears poured down his face as he realized there was no going back now. There would be no more toddler form. He was leaving it behind and preparing to finally step into his powers. His eyes closed as he concentrated on pulling forth all of his power to finish the transformation.

Kurama and Hiei both watched the transformation in awe. Koenma's form was glowing and power filled the office. They had never dreamed that Koenma was this powerful. Their eyes also widened as the pacifier began to float in front of Koenma and all of a sudden it shattered and pure power poured into the room. The wind it created was almost enough to move them. A bright light filled the room and forced them to shield their eyes.

When the light cleared they looked where Koenma was standing and saw him in his teen form. His clothes were billowing around his body from the power flowing around him. Gradually the power was lessening and once it all seemed to calm down, Koenma's eyes snapped open.

"I'm going to stop my father at all costs," Koenma said with conviction. "But I can't do it alone," he said looking imploringly at Hiei and Kurama.

"And you won't do it alone," Hiei shocked everyone by speaking up first.

"No, you won't," Kurama added as he stepped up and put a hand on Hiei's shoulder in a show of support.
