Sora: Yeah, I guess so. But, it's not our problem if our fans are gunna riot. It's Katie's.

Katie: Yeah but, the chapters take so long to write! Tell ya'll what: I'll try and post as many chapters as I can a month, cuz you know I do have other stories to write, not to mention, school.

Reiko: That'll keep 'em happy! ^_^

Sora: I'll do the disclaimer. Katie does not own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of the original characters that may appear in this fiction.

"You do know how to hit people, right?"

Reiko decided to help her father, and Yusuke train the boys. Sora was awake, Aki was half asleep, and chewing on his pillow; Yuji was, well, erm, how to put this.. Drooling on Sora.

"Eww, get offa me!"

Sora pushed Yuji off of him. Reiko shook her head, and walked over to the side. Kuwabara was truly embarrassed. He grabbed his son by the collar of his shirt.

"GIT UP! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP! GET YOUR SORRY ASS UP OFF THE GROUND AND START TO TRAIN GOD DAMMIT!"

Hiei was a bit startled by how loud KuwaBAKA was. ((A/N: Yes, KuwaBAKA. Most of you know what a baka is.)) Reiko looked over at Sora and motioned for him to speak with her. Sora tiptoed away from the still screaming Kuwabara. He smoothed down his green pants and took off his watch. From Sora's hand the watch went into the dirt. He was burying it for safekeeping.

"What's up?" Sora asked.

"You are going to spar with me. Aki and Yuji are hopeless cases."

"I guess your right. I think Aki's gone back to sleep."

"Good. I believe you're a better fighter than they are, or do my eyes deceive me?"

"No, they don't. Let's go!"

"Let's go somewhere a little quieter. I know of a place. C'mon, I'll show ya!"

And so, Reiko and Sora headed off into the woods. Yuji and Aki were left doing laps, with Kuwabara poking them with his Rei ken (spiritual sword) to make them go faster every now and then. Meanwhile, Sora and Reiko were headed down a long dirt path.

"So, who do you think your mother is?"

"I'm not sure. My dad doesn't really talk to people, so I wouldn't know whom they are. I just hope it's not a human."

Reiko led Sora to a small clearing, with orange soil covering a majority of it. There was a small pond with frog-like creatures softly croaking in the water. Reiko stood on the left side of the battlefield with her arms folded, and Sora took the right side, prepared to fight. Sora cracked his knuckles as Reiko brushed her hair out of her face.

"Ready to see what I can do?" Sora smirked.

"Don't smirk; you look like a freak..."

"Whatever. Let's begin."

Hiei was getting bored of watching two stupid teenagers run around his home. This was amusing for a while, but it eventually got dull. Most of the women were still sleeping, but Keiko was up and trying to get Kuwabara to stop yelling so the others could sleep. Yusuke was standing by Hiei, clearly disgusted by what he was seeing. He looked at Hiei; he nodded back to Yusuke. They walked away in the direction Reiko and Sora had gone in. They walked silently down the path, until Yusuke couldn't stand the silence.

"Okay Hiei, I won't tell anyone."

"Tell anyone what?"

"Who your secret lover is! C'mon tell me!"

"I can't. I'm going to tell Reiko. If she feels the need to tell you, then so be it."

" Aww, c'mon!"

"Hn. No"

And so, Yusuke continued to annoy Hiei the whole way to the clearing.

Reiko and Sora had started fighting already. Punch after punch Sora was drained a little. Reiko was fast as lightning, and he couldn't land any punches. This went on for hours. Sora threw all he had into one punch, but Reiko dodged it, barely. Reiko stepped back. That punch could have knocked her head off her shoulders. A tiny cut formed on Reiko's cheek and started bleeding. She rubbed it and stared at the exhausted boy that kneeled before her.

"You know, you're strong, for only being partial demon."

"Is that a compliment or an insult?" Sora huffed. He was really tired; he had given his all, but that wasn't enough to beat a demon, let alone a female one.

"You two done yet?"

Yusuke's voice rung out from behind some brushes as Hiei jumped down from a tree. Sora struggled to his feet and brushed of his shirt.

"That was some fancy handling back there, Reiko. The other losers are probably still doing laps."

Hiei chuckled. "They are; Kuwabara is still supervising. Kurama gave up on them."

"Anyway.... Sora, you come with me. Hiei would like to speak privately with Reiko for a minute."

Sora reluctantly left Reiko and went back down the dirt path with his father. He took one last glance at the demon he had spent hours training with, and left. Reiko turned to her father whom was currently looking out at the pond. After a few minutes, Reiko decided to break the awkward silence.

"Father, is this about, my.mom?"

"Yes. I only ask you not to freak out."

"Why would I freak out?"

"All the same, just listen up."

"Uh.. ok"

"Your mother... is not a demon."

"Not a demon? A human, then?"

"No, an angel. She was beautiful, and she looked just like you. The same blue eyes and black hair."

"Oh... but, what happened to her?"

"Well, after you were born, the gods found out, namely Koenma's father. He was enraged that an angel of all things would ever love a demon with a reputation as bad as mine. He killed your mother, Reiko. You are all I have left."

This was a lie, of course. Reiko need not know she had an Aunt Yukina and an Uncle Kuwabara, and a cousin, Yuji. Kuwabara, Yukina and Yuji don't know, only Kurama, Yusuke, Botan, and he. He looked at Reiko; She clearly was shocked. Her hands were trembling, not in fear, but rage.

"He killed someone.. for loving another? That bastard.. I'll do what Koenma says, but a swear, if it's that last thing I do, I will curse his father! "

"Don't."

"Why not? He killed my mother! Your.... lover.... Why should he not be punished?!"

"I'm the one with the bad background, not you! I'm the one who's the killer here. I don't want you to make a bad name for yourself."

".. Father.."
