When Echo got back from the mall she decided that she needed rest. She had been training for a month and she needed proper rest. She walked into her room and headed toward the bathroom so she could take a shower. On her way there she tripped over that cute little Koenma doll.
"Ouch!" She had bitten her lip. It hurt more than it did usually. She put her hand up to her mouth and touched her lip. She looked and there was blood on her fingertips. Wait, something was different.
"My have never been anywhere near that long, or that sharp!"
She then felt her teeth. Her canine teeth were longer and sharper than usual. What was happening? Just then she remembered something that she thought she would never forget. Tomorrow was her birthday! Her 14th birthday! She had no idea why she remembered just then. It had no relevance to what just happened. She decided to ignore it like she did every other strange thing that happened to her. She had gotten used to strange things happening. She went and took a shower and went to sleep.

Botan was sneaking around the forest looking for Hiei. She decided she would spy on him. She wanted to play matchmaker. She just HAD too hook up Hiei and Echo. Though, she had no clue in hell why she though she could do it. Hiei would never express his emotions, if he even had any.
"Gahh!" Botan screamed as she was pulled into a headlock and had a sword at her throat.
"What are you doing here?" Hiei asked.
"Oh nothing! Just taking a stroll in the woods eh he eh he."
"Yeah right. I think you were looking for me. What do you want?"
"Um. I was just wondering. what do you think of Echo?"
"What do you mean? You're trying to find out if I like her! Why? I think you watch too much of that 'television' with those people being 'matchmakers'."
"I swear you are a telepath! I am just wondering, why would you jump to the conclusion that I'm trying to find that out unless you actually do like her? YOU LIKE HER DON'T YOU!"
At this Hiei put his sword back up to her throat.
"You talk, you die."
************************************************************************
When Echo woke up she felt different. She looked at her nails and felt her teeth. They were still sharp. It wasn't a dream. She got up and got dressed. Then she headed to the bathroom to brush her hair. She looked in the mirror and
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed.
In about a minute Botan, Kurama, and Hiei were there.
"What happened? It sounded like you were being attacked or something!"
"If I was being attacked I wouldn't have screamed. Look at me and see if you notice anything!" Echo said in a panic.
"Oh my," said Botan.
"She's a," started Hiei.
"Those are of a spirit fox demon," said Kurama.
"What do you mean? Last time I checked my family was completely human!" said Echo.
"If there was a demon in your family a long way back, their powers may not be passed on for generations. The demon may even choose which relative will get their powers. I believe you are the chosen one," explained Kurama.
Echo turned back to face the mirror again. She reached up and touched the brown fox ears on top of her head. She could certainly hear better, and they were cuter than human ears.
"Today is my birthday," she said out of the blue.
"Really? Happy birthday Echo!" said Botan.
"I think we should go talk to my grandma. I have a feeling she might know what is up."
************************************************************************
All of them ended up going to Echo's grandmother's house. They just happened to tag along.
"Hi Grandma," said Echo when her grandma answered the door.
"Happy Birthday Echo! Aren't you supposed to be in Japan? Who are your friends? Oh my. It finally happened. I never thought I would see the day that our ancestor's powers finally resurfaced."
"That is what I am here about. You seem to know something. What is it?"
"Come inside and I will explain."
They all went in and sat down in the living room. Except for Hiei. He remained standing.
"Well, my great grandfather, your great great great grandfather, was a fox demon. He had many children and one of them was with a human woman. The woman was scared because she thought that their child would be half demon, but Liso (the demon) was more powerful than that. He made it so that his powers would be passed on to the one that would be able to handle them. That child would become a half demon on his or her 14th birthday or a little before. Does everything make more sense now?"
"I guess so. I noticed that my nails and teeth were sharper last night and this morning I found out that I had fox ears," said Echo. She was so shocked. She. Was. Half. Demon. She had a dream she was once. Again her dreams were turning into reality. She looked over at Hiei and Kurama. Kurama looked deep in thought. She couldn't tell what Hiei was thinking. He was impossible to figure out.
"I think Koenma knew about this," said Botan. "I think that might be why he chose you to join the team. He knew that you wouldn't know what was going on unless you knew that Spirit World was real."
"Liso. Liso was my father's name," said Kurama.
"What? It was? Really?"
"Yes. Echo, I believe you are now my sister."

Author's Note: Yay! I had a burst of creativity! Echo is now half demon! Cool! Thank you all for reviewing! Please review some more and tell me if you like the idea of Echo being Kurama's half sister. Thanks!
