A/N: I know this chapter is sort of strange but I think it might make sense somewhere towards the middle.

Raining Cats and Demons
Chapter Fifteen: First Fight(Sorry for the crappy title!)
The next morning the group of Spirit Detectives and Reiluka headed out to the stadium. Yusuke was still sleeping. Kuwabara was walking with Yusuke on his shoulder and muttering to himself about how members of the team should be awake when there is a fight. Hiei and Kurama were walking silently. Reiluka stole a glance at the masked fighter. I know that I've seen the masked fighter before. She frowned as she thought of this. Too soon she realized that they were at the stadium; and that all eyes where on her.
"What?" She asked. Kuwabara let out a gasp as he stared at Reiluka. Kurama and the masked fighter were staring at her, clearly surprised. Then Reiluka looked at Hiei. He showed no emotion but she saw a hint of amazement in his eyes.
"Why are you all staring at me like that?" She asked angrily. Kuwabara started to say something but it looked as though he had lost his voice. Reiluka frowned and turned to Kurama.
"Well?" She asked. Kurama stood there dumbly for a few minutes gaping like a fish out of water but quickly regained his posture.
"Um Reiluka, it seems as though you have grown wings." Kurama said as he continued staring. Reiluka's eyes widened. She felt along her back and her hands trailed along something feathery. She pulled one of the things forward and saw that it was indeed a black feathered wing. She stood holding it for a minute when she looked around at the group staring at her. A few of the other demons where now interested in the conversation as well.
"What the heck happened to me?" Reiluka asked as she stroked the wing in her hand.
"You were muttering something and then when we turned around we saw that you had wings." Hiei said calmly. Reiluka stared at him for a moment. Then she burst out laughing.
"You can't be serious! Just by muttering about something I suddenly sprouted wings?" She asked incredulously. The masked fighter nodded. After a few more minutes of staring Team Urameshi finally entered the ring. As Reiluka vaguely listened to Koto, the ring announcer, she heard a familiar voice in her head.
~Genkai?~ Reiluka asked.
`Yes.` Genkai's voice answered.
~What are you doing in my head?~
`To tell you how you sprouted wings.`
~Um, okay.~
`As you already know, you are part cat demon. That part is true. The human part is not.`
~What'd ya mean!? I'm half cat demon half human!~
`No. You are half cat demon and another race that is almost extinct. I wouldn't be surprised if you were the last one of that race.`
~Another race?~
`Yes. You say that Sigana killed your mother because she wanted to rule the lands, correct? Well, that was not the only reason. Your mother was the leader of a very powerful race called the Black Wings. They have been here longer than any demon alive today. Even Enma and Koenma.`
~Um, Genkai? I think the fight is about to start.~
`Well then, I will tell you more later on about your race. Oh, and please do not tell the others who I am yet.`
~Yes Genkai. I will talk to you later then!~ Reiluka finished looking more confused than ever. She was hardly aware that Kuwabara was being thrown into the air by the little kid that was in the hotel room last night. What did she mean by that I might be the only one left of the Black Wings? Who the heck are they anyways? Reiluka closed her eyes and suddenly an image of her mother popped up in her mind.
"Mother?" She asked. The woman smiled. She had long brown hair with traces of black or purple among it. She was tall and fairly skinny with two large black wings with gold at the ends of the feathers. She was wearing a black jumpsuit that looked like leather. She walked towards Reiluka with much grace in her steps, like she was dancing. Reiluka found that this really was her mother.
"Mama!" She cried and ran and hugged the woman tightly. Reiluka found the jumpsuit thing to really be soft pants and a large cape-like shirt. The woman pulled back.
"I have missed you, my daughter." She said. Reiluka smiled while wiping the tears away from her eyes. The woman laughed for a minute but then her face became very serious.
"I have come to warn you. Because you are the last of a very powerful race, many of my enemies will try to kill you. I want you to be very careful and find someone that will trust you and love you. They will be the one that will have to protect you in your times of need." The woman finished. Reiluka looked at her questionably. The woman smiled again.
"I will talk to you sleep and when you need me. Do not worry my child, I did not tell you about being part Black Wing because it would endanger you. I trust that Genkai will tell you about it too. Next time I talk to you I want you tell me the name of the person that you trust and I will visit them in a dream and tell them about protecting you."
"But why would I need pro-" Reiluka was cut off with a wave of her mothers hand.
"I cannot tell you. You must find that out on your own. But I will be here to guide you through your problems. I must go now because your friends are very worried about you. Good bye and good luck!" The woman left in a puff of smoke and Reiluka opened her eyes. Hiei and Botan where gathered around Reiluka while Kurama watched as Kuwabara fought the kid Rinku.
"Reiluka are you okay? You said something about 'mother' and something about wings." Botan asked Reiluka worriedly. Do not tell them yet my child. Said Reiluka's mothers voice in her head. Reiluka slumped to the ground holding her head. Hiei and Botan crouched next to her.
"What were you talking about?" Hiei asked her coldly, thought she could detect some gentleness in it.
"Um, nothing! No need to worry!" Reiluka said as she jumped up rubbing the back of her head. Then she quickly turned to the now almost beaten Kuwabara. Hiei frowned at Reiluka's back. She's not telling us something. He thought. He was jerked out of his thoughts however when Koto announced that Kuwabara had lost and that Rinku had won. Hiei smirked as he walked up beside Reiluka. He could tell that she was thoroughly disappointed with the Team's loss.
"I knew that baka couldn't beat him. I knew it last night too." Reiluka mumbled to Hiei.
"That is no surprise. That oaf can't do anything." He said. Then the two of them watched as Kurama stepped into the ring to fight against a demon named Roto.

Well, did you think it made sense? The next chapter is more about the fighting than about Reiluka. She will not fight until the second round of the Dark Tournament. On my last chapter something weird went on with the font and the spacing and stuff so sorry if it turned out weird. And if you want to know, here is the pairing for this fic:
Reiluka/Hiei Yusuke/Keiko Yukina/Kuwabara Kurama/Botan(?) Koenma/Botan(?)
(?)I don't know who to put Botan with. Please tell me if you would rather see her with Kurama or Koenma. I don't think Shizuru will be paired up with anybody right now. Thanks to all of my reviewers! I've got over fifteen reviews! Thanks and please review and send me some ideas! Animechick8
