Kurama and Genkai agreed that finding Sniper and Matari would be in their favor. Kuwabara had found him the day after the order was given. It had been two days since the visit from Irana. Yusuke spent this Saturday looking for Kayko's present. Her birthday was tomorrow and everyone had gotten her a present except Yusuke and Hiei. He went to Kurama's he had the urge to ask him what to get her. He went to the door and began to knock. After a few seconds Shiori came and answered the door. She led him to Kurama's room and then returned to the kitchen. Yusuke knocked and let himself in. Kurama was on his bed holding a piece of crumpled paper. Yusuke gently punched him. Kurama handed him the paper. "It's from Hiei. He said he wasn't going to help out with this mission. He wants to be left alone."

Yusuke scanned the letter twice and balled it up in his fist. He slung it against the wall. "Temper, temper. Hiei just needs sometime dealing with what he has. You know?" Irana was standing in the corner nearest the window. "How did you get in here?" Kurama asked getting ready to launch his weapon. "He came through the open window. It is a shame how you just leave the woman by herself. I can hardly believe it. She could get hurt again by him." Yusuke didn't recognize the girl and neither did Kurama. The girl had blonde hair and sky blue eyes. She was about Yusuke's height and she was a medium tan. "Whom are you talking about? My mother? Who are you?" Kurama asked his ki rising. "Daniellea. Yes your mother is being stalked. On top of that your human father is dead and he didn't even deserve to die." Kurama stared at the girl in total shock. Danellea turned to Irana. He glared at her she stared him down and made a growling noise. Irana struck at her neck with his hands. Daniellea pointed her finger at him and whispered something no one could pick up. Irana got bigger and finally exploded all that was left was a pink energy ball. Daniellea moved her hand to capture it but it dispersed before she could reach it.

Kurama sat on the bed and took a breath. "Did you know my father? How did he die? What did he do to die? Please tell me." Daniellea nodded. She placed a hand on Kurama's shoulder. He looked at it and sighed. "No told me about how he died. I want to know what he looked like and what his name was. Everything." Kurama looked at her for a second a pleading look came across his eyes. Danielle closed her eyes and pointed to Yusuke. Kurama nodded and Daniellea sat beside him. Yusuke settled for the floor. "Your father. He was an investigator for the police of this city. He and another officer were put on patrol of this block. An attack had taken place in this house. Shiori's mother and father were killed while she was tied up in her room. Your father came saved her and killed the attacker all together. The other officer said he planned the attack and since rank does matter your father was put on probation. After eight years your mother met with him and they fell in love. They were married and six months later you were born." Daniellea stopped. Kurama looked at her and laid his head on her shoulder. She started again. "He was off probation. He and your mother were on their way from the hospital with you. They came along and a young girl came along the road. Your father called the squad and when they questioned the girl she testified that your father was the criminal. He was sentenced to death secretly. He loved to run the track around the office. He went to run and they...shot him at will. Everyone was in an uproar. A test later found that the woman was an escapee from the prison. She testified because he put in the jail before. That's why he's not here." Kurama paled and Danielle laid his head in her lap. She began to stroke his hair. He leaned up and licked her cheek. "Your father's name was Koji Minamino. He worked with my oldest sister. Their does that answer the questions?" Kurama nodded and smiled a very weak smile.

Yusuke looked at the clock it read 10:30. He rushed out the bedroom grabbed his coat and left. Outside the house he saw a shadow moving around. He shook his head and left. He arrived home greeted by a panicking Botan. She was paler than usual and her hair was down. "Yusuke. Hiei found sniper and they will be here tomorrow. Sniper was in a wreck he was hit by a car. When Hiei arrived he had lost most of his blood. Hiei took him to Koenma to be revived." She slid to her knees. "What's the matter Botan not feeling so hot?" Yusuke asked innocently. "No. A mission. Koenma has found a demon holding humans captives. One of the two oldest daughters is there. We have to find her. She is very important to our cause." Yusuke nodded. "Well can it wait? Kurama is having a past crisis and Kuwabara is with Matari. Tomorrow we'll look." Botan summoned her oar and left. Yusuke unlocked the door and went inside. He looked for his mother. 'She would have left a note if she was going somewhere. Right?' Yusuke went and plopped on his bed. It sank under his weight. The mattress felt lumpy and he moved to the couch. He nodded off.

Yusuke woke up in a cold sweat. He saw Hiei outside and Sniper was leaning over the balcony. Kurama and Daniellea had arrived. Yusuke went to join Hiei. "We found out who Kurama's father was and how he died. I think Kurama's also found someone he likes." Hiei stared open-mouthed. "I'm not kidding he licked her cheek and laid his head in her lap and on her shoulder." Hiei grinned and shook his head. "She's just showing she's not any enemy by allowing the last two acts. The first one not explainable for them." Botan came by on her oar. "Yusuke. The girl that I told about before was a story. She is dead and never had a chance." Yusuke sighed and looked at Sniper. He looked a lot paler that usual. "Let me go! Now! Let GO!' Yusuke heard someone shout. He looked down and a girl was being drug down the street. She was bleeding badly and her captor slung her on his shoulder. Sniper launcher his dice and killed the person. The girl fell to the ground and looked up at them. Daniellea came to the balcony and waved. "Who's that? Do you know her?" Danielle nodded.
