CE: Okey dokey. Not much to say here, except, I hope you are enjoying this story as much as I'm enjoying writing it. And I forgot to put this in the second chapter, but I'm sorry for not updating in like, two weeks. I've been really busy helping my mom with my new little sister. ^_^

Hiei will do the disclaimer.

Hiei: No I won't.

CE: Pweeze????

Hiei: No.

CE: I got ice cream...

Hiei: CrystallineEntitydoesn'townYYHoranyideasthatlookfamiliar! ::lunges for sweet snow::

CE: O_O Thank you...Hiei.

Chapter Three: The Decision

::::::::::::: ::::::::: ::::: ::: ::

Koenma looked up at the sound of his door opening. It was Botan. "Koenma-sama, Hiei, Kurama, and the girl are here. Should I bring them in?" The child ruler nodded his head. "Yes, yes. By all means..."

Moments later, a frazzled Hiei and Kurama, and Ivy walked through the doors. Koenma raised a puzzled eyebrow; Hiei looked about ready to drive his sword through the girl, while Kurama looked like he just wanted to lie down and take a nap.

Hiei moved to a far corner of the room, and Kurama collapsed into a chair. Ivy looked around, then sat on the floor, Indian-style. "Why are we here? What's going on? Kurama, can I have my candy now? I'm hungry. Can I wake up now? This dream is getting really weird..." Koenma had no idea that someone could ask so many questions over a span of twenty seconds.

He walked over to Ivy. "Have Hiei and Kurama explained to you the reason you're here?" Ivy's mouth dropped open. "Did you just...talk?" Koenma nodded, "Yes. Now, have Hiei and Kurama explained to you why you're here?" Ivy opened her mouth to speak, but Hiei beat her to it.

"Well, Koenma, as you've experienced, it is very hard to tell this onna anything, seeing as she never shuts up." Ivy stood up very fast and practically leapt over to Hiei. "Say that to my face, shorty," she growled. Hiei smirked. "Number one, onna, I am taller than you. Two, you never shut up."

You could practically see the sparks flying. "You die now!" Ivy yelled, and jumped on Hiei. Everyone else in the room just stared. [AN: Kurama, Koenma, and Botan: O_O] When the dust cleared, Hiei was on top of Ivy, pinning her arms above her head, and she was trying very hard to get out from under him. Kurama was trying to hold back his laughter, and failing miserably, which sent Koenma and Botan laughing too.

Ivy and Hiei looked over at Kurama, Koenma and Botan. "What!" they both yelled in unison. Somehow, everyone managed to regain their composures, including Ivy and Hiei who were shooting absolute daggers at each other.

"Now," Koenma said, "I guess I'll start from the beginning. Ivy, are you adopted?"

"Uh, I don't think so..."

"Well, you most likely are. Have you noticed anything...strange about yourself lately?"

"I've been a little cranky, but I thought it was just PMS."

[AN: All besides Ivy: ::sweatdrop::]

"OK, anything else?"

"Nope."

"Hiei, come here."

"Why?"

"Because I said so."

Reluctantly, Hiei walked over to where Koenma and Ivy were standing, or sitting rather.

"Hiei, I want you to place your hand on her head."

"No."

"Hey, it's not like I have cooties or something."

"Hiei..."

"Fine, I'll do it."

Hiei warily placed his hand on Ivy's head. Koenma then instructed him to channel some of his youki into his palm, explaining that it would give Ivy's hidden powers a "jumpstart".

:::::::::::

Ivy felt the surface of her head growing warm; a tingling sensation followed soon after. It started on her head, but then spread down to her toes. She then felt like her insides were changing around. "Uhn..." she moaned. "I think...I'm gonna be sick." Koenma shook his head. "Just a little more." Just as he said that, Ivy felt herself grow about an inch taller; her hair lengthened and turned a deeper brown with one red streak in the front. Her two incisors grew longer and more pointy; and last, but not least, two ears sprouted from the top of her head, and a tail from her tailbone.

Hiei stepped backwards in shock. That had never happened before. "Oh God..." Ivy said. Everyone watched as she ran her fingers across her newly obtained ears, then over her new fangs. Now her eyes had been closed, because of the pain, and when she opened them, they were blood red, like Hiei's. "What-what did you d-do to me?" she managed to choke out, pointing an accusing finger at Hiei.

Koenma cleared his throat, "Just as I thought a fire wolf youkai." Before he could say any more, Ivy cut him off. "What do you mean, 'Just as I thought'? You knew this was going to happen to me? Couldn't you have at least told me what you were going to do to me? Now I'm...I'm some sorta...freak!!! All I can say is, this had all better be a dream, or else...or else..." Her voice choked. "Or else what, onna?" Hiei's voice rang out. Ivy whirled around; her anger forming a noticeable ki aura around her. "You - better - shut - the - hell - up," she hissed.

The room was so quiet, you could've heard a pin drop. Until Ivy collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face. When no one made a move to comfort her, Kurama stood up and walked over to the traumatized girl and put a comforting arm around her shoulders. "That was not called for, Hiei," the youko said.

Now, to Hiei, hearing his best-friend speak to him like that was just like a slap in the face. Not knowing what else to do, he fizzed out of sight, disappearing without a trace, leaving a sobbing Ivy, a dumfounded Koenma, a stunned Botan, and an angry fox behind.
