FOURTH CHAPTER
GETTING TO KNOW HER
By: ShadowKitten
………….Enjoy!
Kurama's eyes widen and he gave Hiei a confused look. Tani sighed and than looked up at both of them. The voice kept talking, and it would not go quiet. It kept telling her stuff about Kurama and that short guy. Hiei…….That was his name…….Or so the voice had told her.
"Tani…….If you let us help you…….I am sure we can, so please come with us…" Kurama said while taking a step closer to her. Hiei crossed his arms and looked at both of them. Tani turned to look at Kurama and than bit her lower lip. She HATED this….hated it with all her heart. If she went with him, she was going to……Love him…….and she knew it, and yet she wanted to go with him, even though she knew he would never love her back. She sighed and than nodded, not taking her eyes off his.
"Fine….I will go with you……" She said not blinking, keeping the contest going. Kurama smiled but blinked a bit. She had spoken with a different tone now. She had spoken with a hint of…hate in it. He shook his head and than smiled.
"Good" Turning to look at Hiei he raised an eyebrow "Think we should go look for Yusuke, you know to let him know that we have a new……" He turned to look back at Tani who was still looking at him. He smiled a bit and than turned back to Hiei "Team member"
"Hn" Hiei said and than stood up jumping out the window.

Tani looked at all the people around her with a half scared half confused look. There was a……baby, a girl with blue hair, a tall boy with carrot red hair, one that wasn't as tall but wasn't short like Hiei either. He had black hair and brown eyes. They all looked at her. Kurama was at her side. She blinked a bit and than the…baby spoke.
"So……Tani, can you take the hair off your forehead?" The baby said. She was startled at first but then nodded. Slowly she brushed the hair away from her forehead, revealing the gem. The eyes of the baby widened as he looked in surprise. The girl put a hand to her mouth and whispered 'oh my'. The baby shook his head and than cleared his throat.
"Well, my name is Koenma. I am the….boss….sort of" At this point all the guys and the girl were sweat dropping. Tani nodded and than sighed.
"Koenma, so…can she join?" Kurama asked. Koenma rubbed his chin a bit and than nodded.
"Yes…but I want to have a word with you first Kurama." Kurama nodded and than looked at Tani. Tani looked back at him. Botan blinked while looking at the both of them. They wouldn't break eye contact.
"Err…um….Tani?" Botan asked while making her way towards her. Tani stopped looking at Kurama and turned to look at Botan. "Uh…hi, I am Botan, please come with me, Kurama and the other guys need to talk" Tani nodded and followed Botan out the door.
Koenma took a deep breath and than looked at Kurama. "You DO know what that gem means, right?"
Kurama nodded. "Of course"
"Than why do you want her with us? It could be dangerous"
Kurama took a deep breath "Well, don't you think it would be more dangerous if Leiko came out in the human world? I think that this way it is safer……this way at least we will have an eye on her"
Hiei smirked while leaning on a wall. "Hn….that is not the only reason is it Kurama?"
Kurama chuckled nervously as a sweat drop rolled down the side of his head. "I do not know what you mean…" Yusuke and Kuwabara blinked a bit and than laughed.
"No, way! You like her?!" Kuwabara asked wide eyed. Kurama's eyes widened and he blushed.
Yusuke smiled a bit sympathetically. "Well she IS pretty….she has the most awesome eyes I have ever seen"
Hiei smirked and closed his eyes. "Wait until you hear her voice…" Everyone turned to look at him.
"What about it?" Kurama asked. Hiei opened his eyes and just stared off into space.
"Hn….it is different" All three boys looked at Hiei as if he had grown another head. It was pretty, weird, of him to say that. Kurama smiled and than nodded.
Koenma bit on his pacifier and than cleared his throat loudly. "I am going to explain the situation to Yusuke and Kuwabara now…"
Hiei closed his eyes again. Kurama looked at Koenma and smiled a bit "I am sorry.."
Koenma nodded and than cleared his throat again. "As far as I can tell, Tani is the reincarnation of Leiko Sabawa…the princess demon. Leiko was a heartless demon, beautiful, intelligent, agile….in short words, she was perfect" He took a deep breath "It is said that she used to go to the human world, to pass time…….It results that while she was at it, she stole the spirit of various human people, that's what made her….almost invincible, but one day….she kidnapped a girl, the girl did not have any spirit energy, but Leiko had felt 'something' that something was love. The girl's boyfriend went to rescue her……and he defeated Leiko, with The Rose of Dreams. The Rose of Dreams is a white rose, with the ability to make a human heart kind…….but used in a demon it is very bad…….the demon that the rose was used on…..is reborn as a human…the human being the total opposite of him or her"
Yusuke raised an eyebrow. "So what you are saying is that chick out there is a demon?"
Koenma nodded. "Yes…but her human…'self' does not remember her demon 'self'…" He closed his eyes and than looked at them. "She can join…but for your own sake, and the sake of humans and demons…….Don't let Leiko Sabawa get out"
