Thank you Takiaa Hart for reviewing! Chapter 9: Ryo ! ~~~~~@@@@@@@####################$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$%%%%%%%%%%%%$$$$$$$$$

"So, Aiko, how long has it been? 3,4 years?" Ryo asked.
"3 years, Ryo," Aiko said. Then she turned to Hiei, "Hiei go find Jr. for me and bring him here. We're about to leave and we don't want to leave him here." Aiko said.
Hiei nodded at Aiko and growled at Ryo before leaving.
"Well, you and the forbidden one are back on good terms I see." Ryo said, looking amused.
"Look, Hiei will be back with someone who wants to talk to you. He's very fond of you, of course." Aiko said bitterly.
"Well, here they come. Ah, yes, Koenma and the grim reaper. How lovely." Ryo said.
Koenma was in his teen form without his pacifier, whilst Botan was wearing jeans and a shirt with a bunny on it.
"Well, Koenma, why don't you tell me what it is you wish to say." Ryo demanded, apparently growing bored.
"You are under arrest!" Koenma said placidly, "For the murders you've committed. You have two choices, rot in hell, or join my group of spirit detectives."
"Ryo, rotting in hell would suit you best." Aiko said hatefully.
"Is that the way you talk to the one person who trained you and took you in when you had no one else to go to?" Ryo asked.
Aiko launched towards Ryo with hate and sorrow in her eyes.
"I'll kill you for that, Ryo!" Aiko yelled.
Kurama and Hiei were soon separating Ryo and Aiko. (Hiei had a hold of Aiko and Kurama had a hold of Ryo.)
"Kurama, let go of me!" Ryo demanded.
"How do you know her, Kurama?" Hiei asked.
"She was a friend back when I was known as Youko Kurama. I asked her to take care of Aiko as a favor to me. I thought that Hiei and Aiko needed to be separated for a couple of years. So I took care of Hiei while Ryo took care of Aiko. Hiei soon left, but he never found Aiko; Ryo made sure of that."
Aiko burst into tears. She didn't want everyone to know what happened five years ago! That was her business, not anyone else's! Hiei finally let go of Aiko and she dropped to the floor.
Aiko looked up at Kurama, "Why? WHY DID YOU TELL EVERYONE?" Aiko demanded.
Kurama looked away from Aiko's gaze, "Because I had to." He said simply.
Aiko felt a knot in her throat as the others appeared. She ran out of the mall and when the coast was clear, she flew back to her room in the forest.
Hiei stared at Kurama with hate in his eyes, but he said nothing. In a blur of black, he was gone. Unlike Aiko, he ran into the heart of the forest and found a tree to rest on. The others were discussing Ryo's position.
"Well, I will take a position as a spirit detective. But, Aiko must act at least a little civil towards me!" Ryo said.
"Done deal." Koenma said, shaking her hand.
Kurama was stealing more jewelry while chanting "Shiny, Shiny, Shiny." Ryo was watching him while laughing as Kurama almost got caught. They soon left the mall and went back to the cabin. When they got back the place was trashed. A note was pinned to the door with a ninja star. When Botan read it she nearly fainted.
"Botan, what is it?" Yusuke and Koenma asked.
"Aiko and Hiei have left!" Botan said with a look of horror on her face. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Interesting, don't you think????
