A/N: Here I come with another installment of "Koenma's Family Secret."
It's been awhile since I wrote the last chapter. Sorry to my adoring fan.
Just kidding. BTW Janice, congrats! You got the imaginary cookie. Imagine
how good it tastes. As a side note here's a bit of irony. In old WI where
I happen to live they are shooting off fireworks to commemorate the
COLUMBIA. Does anyone else get the irony in that? Ok, enough chit chat.
Here's the fic.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anyone but Rei and Mariko, unless someone is willing to pay for them.
Chapter the 3rd: In which there is a confrontation
Mariko looked down at her brand-new human body. Her silver braids were now black, her golden eyes green, and her skin had a much healthier glow.
"I've outdone myself," cried Rei triumphantly.
Yusuke looked her over. "I don't see much of a difference. All you did was change her hair and eyes."
Rei grinned. "I made her skin less pale too! Now I must be off." With that said and done she exited the house and ran off.
"Who was that Botan," Yusuke asked.
"That was Rei. She's a retired Spirit Detective," she answered. "Now she does odd jobs for Koenma."
Yusuke nodded in understanding. "So when are the guy's coming over?"
"Any minute now," she grinned.
5 MINUTES LATER
Kurama entered t he room followed by an excited Kuwabara.
"Where's the shrimp?" asked Kuwabara looking around. "He was probably afraid of my awesomeness!"
"I'm standing right behind you," Hiei answered, finally having decided to make his presence known.
"How long have you been here?" Yusuke asked angrily.
"Calm down Spirit Detective," Hiei answered coolly. "I just came in." The guys all sat down.
"So," Kurama began, "where is this girl you were telling us about."
The sound of a flushing toilet could be heard followed soon after by the sound of running water. Mariko, just out of the bathroom walked into the room full of boys. She looked them all over, trying to guess which one was the moron, the fox, and the attitude problem. She did a barely noticeable double take when she saw Hiei. Hiei, of course being Hiei did notice.
"What are you gaping at human?" He asked angrily.
"I was staring at you!!" She stuck out her tounge. "Oh and FYI I'm not human." To herself she thought 'This is the guy that saved me? Woe is me.'
"You're the weakling from before?!" Hiei cried.
'Did I say that out loud?' she asked herself.
Suddenly she heard Hiei's voice in her brain. [No moron. I'm telepathic.]
During their verbal/mental fight Kurama asked, "That is Koenma's sister?"
Botan nodded. "His youngest sister."
Kuwabara who was watching the fight asked incredulously, "He has more?!"
"Yup," Botan answered. "Six more."
Kuwabara slightly resembled a fish the way his chin nearly hit the floor. However Botan wasn't finished yet.
"He also has eight other brothers."
Kuwabara could be seen counting on his fingers. Eventually he gave up and simply said, "That's a lot of siblings. I have to give the toddler credit. I can barely handle Shizuru."
Meanwhile across the room Mariko refused to acknowledge Hiei's exsistance. Yusuke tried to play peacemaker by starting the formal introductions. "You seem to have already met Hiei, Mariko."
"Hiei who?" she said haughtily.
"Umm, right. This is Kurama. Kurama, this is Mariko." The two shook hands. "Mariko, Kuwabara. Kuwabara, Mariko." They shook hands as well.
"So, what is this new case Yusuke," asked Kurama.
"Ok, here's the short version. This kid is Koenma's little sister." Yusuke explained. "Apparently she was nearly killed and since Koenma's too busy to watch her he dumped the job on us."
Hiei snorted. "Speak for yourself Spirit Detective. You're on your own on this case. Have fun with the brat." Then Hiei stood up and walked off.
Mariko growled softly at his receding figure. 'I can't STAND him,' she thought. She felt a hand rest on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Kurama smiling at her.
"Relax little one. Hiei's like that to everyone," he explained.
She calmed down visibly until the words actually registered to her.
"I AM NOT LITTLE!!!!!!!"
A/N: so how was that? Good? Not so good? Tell me.
