Raining Cats and Demons

Chapter Nineteen: Genkai's Words

After their first day of fighting, Team Urameshi gets a break. Yusuke and Kuwabara went off somewhere as did Hiei and Kurama. Reiluka and the Masked Fighter were the only ones left in the room. Reiluka looked towards the masked fighter. She frowned.

"Genkai, when are you going to tell me more about my past?" She asked the masked fighter. The masked fighter sighed.

"Come with me Reiluka and I will show you." Genkai said and went out the door with Reiluka tailing her. They walked out of the hotel and deep into the forest. Reiluka was about to ask where they were going but Genkai suddenly stopped at a cave in the middle of the forest. She went inside. Reiluka stood there for a minute and then quickly followed Genkai into the cave. Reiluka watched as Genkai took her mask off. When the mask was completely off, Reiluka's eyes widened. Instead of Genkai there was a young woman with brown eyes and pink hair.

"Genkai! Is that really you?" Reiluka asked the young woman in front of her. The woman nodded.

"This is what I looked like when I was younger. I don't feel like explaining right now so let's get on with what I promised your mother I would tell you." Genkai said as she sighed. She and Reiluka sat down on a rock and Genkai began her story. Reiluka listened with avid interest.

"When I was younger, I was good friends with the Black Wings, especially your mother. Your mother was the leader of the Black Wing clan. She protected the clan and was one of their best leaders. About 60 years ago, a war broke out between the Black Wings and some very powerful demons. The demons wanted the Black Wings power and they would do anything to get it. They caught and tortured Black Wings if they didn't obey the demons orders." Genkai stopped and took a breath.

"Genkai, why was the Black Wings power so important?" Reiluka asked. Genkai started her story again. "Well, the Black Wings had immense power and they could use it to control the three worlds. But luckily, the Black Wings were very peaceful and hardly, if ever, used their powers. Since your mother was the leader, your power is stronger than most other Black Wings. Anyways, back to the war. The Black Wings and a few of their friends fought in the battle against the 'evil' demons. But it was clear that the Black Wings were going to lose. So some of them fled to other lands to see if they could find more people to help them. Your mother was one of the ones the fled. She was badly injured and stumbled across your fathers' lands. They eventually fell in love and had you and your brother. Now, you are pretty much full Black Wing but since your father was a cat demon, you can change your appearance between a cat demon and a Black Wing. Your brother turned out to be a full cat demon somehow. Your mother knew that you would be hunted if someone found out that you were a Black Wing so she disguised you as a half cat demon and half human, the same way she disguised herself. You lived in peace for a while but then talk of another war came out so your mother, you, and your brother fled again. You lived in the forest and that is where you met me and unfortunately, Toguro. We were training when you and your mother stumbled into our camp. Your brother was still a little baby. We took care of you and helped your mother raise you and train you. When your brother was old enough, we trained him too. When things settled down in the Makai, you bid us goodbye and went back to your father. I don't know much that happened after that but I kept contact with your mother while I was in the human world. About a year after you went back, that awful woman Sigana found out about your mothers' race and killed her. I found out that your brother died also and that Koenma and Botan went and rescued you from Sigana. I went to Koenma and he said that I could raise you and train you with your powers. Toguro and I raised you until you were about twelve years old and then Koenma came and told us that you had to go back to the Makai, remember?" Genkai asked Reiluka. Reiluka thought for a moment.

"Um, sort of. The memory's kind of blurry." She replied. Genkai smiled a bit.

"Well, that's normal. Before you left for the Makai, Koenma erased most of your memories. He only left a few from your early childhood and some from when you where training with me. The last we heard of you was when you left for the Makai. And now you're back!" Genkai said happily.

"So you and Toguro are sort of like my godparents?" Reiluka asked.

"Well, before your mother left the Spirit World, she asked Toguro and I if we would be your foster parents.(A/N:Toguro and Genkai are NOT married.They are just training together.)We agreed and Koenma also said it was okay. So we took you in." Genkai finished. Reiluka was staring at her bug-eyed. "You mean that Toguro is my other father!?" She asked in disbelief. Genkai shook her head. "No, we were your foster parents. After you went back to the Makai, we entered the Dark Tournament. If we won, then our wish would be to let you live in the human world permanently. But then something happened to Toguro and he was overcome by his wanting of more power. So his wish was to be immortal. I asked the committee if you could live in human world but they said that Toguro's wish would have to be the same. So I made a different wish. And then Toguro and I split up. I asked Koenma about you but he said that they had lost track of you in the Makai. Now years later you somehow have gotten back into the human world. Koenma didn't even know how you did it. But he decided to put you to good use. Around that time you were sent with the dimwit and his friends to the Makai to defeat Sigana. And you defeated her and then you were invited to the Dark Tournament. And now you're here. Do remember now?" Genkai asked as she finished. Again Reiluka thought for a moment. Finally she nodded.

"Yes! I remember now! You trained me with the Spirit Wave technique while Toguro taught me fighting skills. Then Koenma said I had to go back and he erased my memories. I remember you and Toguro saying goodbye to me. Before I left you gave part of the Spirit Orb. Is that right?" Reiluka asked excitedly. Genkai nodded and smiled. Reiluka let out a whoop of joy.

"Well, do you have any questions so far?" Genkai asked her.

"Yeah, what kind of powers do I have?" Reiluka asked as she settled down.

"You have three specific kind of power. The first is your Spirit Energy. If I remember correctly the things you can do with your spirit energy is make arrows, transfer it into a weapon, and I also believe that you can do the Spirit Gun. You may even be able to do more than that. The second type of power is using elemental energy. You can control pretty much every element but the ones you are best at are water and fire. And the third power is you Black Wing powers. I don't know much about them but I do know that most of them are very deadly. You also have healing powers. During the tournament I want you to test and practice your powers." Genkai told Reiluka. Reiluka nodded. The two of them then stood up.

"Yusuke and the others should be back soon. Now remember what I told you, don't tell anyone about my identity yet." Genkai told her as she put her mask back on. Reiluka nodded and ran out of the cave. Well, that was certainly a lot of information. I can't BELIEVE that Toguro was my second father! Reiluka thought angrily. She ran back to the hotel to find Yusuke and Kuwabara talking very loudly. Reiluka rolled her eyes.

"You guys are way too loud." She said angrily as she sat down in a chair. Pretty soon she fell asleep, even with the constant yells of Kuwabara and Yusuke.
