Chapter 4
A phone rang.
Or at least it sounded like a phone but it turned out the sound was coming from a mirror which Yusuke took out.
"Hey there Koenma! Just the two-foot toddler I wanted to see. We think we might have found him, but the thing is he's a she."
"That's actually why I was calling, I've doing a bit of research on the spell that Kurama got caught up in and I realized he might have changed genders and it's possible he wouldn't even be the right age. On the plus side I also found that he might still have his memories.
"Anyway I'm glad you didn't need this tidbit to find him, could I please have a look at the Kurama-in-question?"
Yusuke tossed the mirror across the room to Andy who managed to barely catch it.
"Uh, hello Koenma," she said a little shakily. "My name's Andy, well in this world it is, if I'm really Kurama that is."
"It's nice to meet you, or re-meet you as the case may be. So Andy, do you have any memories of a former life as a demon?"
"I don't think so..."
"Any strange abilities with plants?"
"Not really..."
"Ok then, it was a slim chance anyway. Before you hand the mirror back to Yusuke I just want to run a few images from your former life by you to see if they jog your memory."
On the screen appeared some shots of Kurama's school, his mother, and various demons he had fought. While a lot of it looked familiar to Andy it was only things from the show, no long-lost memories were swimming up. Koenma appeared back on the screen and she shook her head.
"Oh well, it was worth a shot. You may hand the mirror back to Yusuke now."
The spirit detective took back the mirror to await further instructions. "How much does she match up?"
"Last time I checked it was 38%, that's the best score we've gotten all week." "Excuse me," said Andy, "what are you talking about?"
Yusuke pulled out a small weird-looking machine. "This is the thing we've been using to find you. Inside it is a piece of Kurama's favorite rose that's full of his spirit energy. Basically we wave at people and see how much they match up. But since spirit is only half a person the best match we can hope for is 50% since you're in a different body."
"But I'm only 38%, shouldn't you be looking for someone with the full 50?"
"No," said Koenma, "It is doubtful that you would have reached the full 50% yet since you are still relatively new to this world. What we need to do now is wait, you should reach your full power in a month or so and then we will be able to return you to your proper state and world. In the meantime I suggest you train. You'll need it to both accelerate your growth and unlock your memories."
"I'm not going to have to fight any demons am I?" asked Andy nervously. As much as she loved Yu Yu Hakusho she didn't feel the need to reenact any of the near-death battles.
"There is a chance that some demons could get into your world through the hole we made on the way here but we should be able to handle them until you've trained enough to take care of yourself," said Hiei.
Andy sighed with relief. "So now what are going to do?"
"Eat!" cried Kuwabara as he threw down the box of donuts that Yusuke had brought earlier.
"Alright, I'm starved!" yelled Yusuke. He put away the mirror and dove for the box, quickly getting into a brawl with Kuwabara over a plump jelly.
Andy was fairly hungry too so she reached for a glazed one in the corner of the box only to have it disappear mere inches from her fingertips. She stared in shock then quickly looked around. Hiei was sitting next to her and was trying to look as nonchalant as possible while chewing on the donut she had just been eyeing.
She laughed, "I guess the rumors were true Hiei."
The fire demon narrowed his eyes, "What rumors?"
"Online, in the fanfictions they always say you're nuts about sugar."
Yusuke dropped his newly won jelly in astonishment, "You mean people write fanfiction about us in addition to us have a T.V. show? And Hiei likes sugar in them?"
"Yeah there's tons of them."
"Where? I want to read them!" said a rather excited Kuwabara.
"So do I," said Hiei. "If there are stories out there portraying me as some fool who's obsessed with some ningen cooking ingredient I have the right to see them."
Andy paled, the humor stories wouldn't be so bad but what if they managed to see some of the romance/angst filled ones? She knew of quite a few that would send Hiei on a killing spree after reading the summaries alone.
What could she do though? It was too late to pretend it wasn't true. She groaned and walked out of the room and to the back of the building.
The rest of the gang stood in the room after she left and blinked a few times, "What just happened here?" asked Kuwabara.
"I'll go find out," said Hiei and he went out to find their female former member. He soon found her behind the building.
"Sorry for walking out like that, I just couldn't think of any other way of getting away from the fanfiction topic. Trust me, it's not something you want to know about."
"I haven't known you long enough to trust you, give me an example as proof."
"Okay..." Andy thought for a moment. "Hiei, in my former life... we're we... lovers?"
"What!" Hiei flew away with the funniest look of horror imaginable.
"I'm sorry! It's just in a lot of fanfictions! There's no proof of it in the show either way!"
Hiei was quiet for a few minutes as he waited for his heart to slow down, "Fine, I won't ask about the fanfiction and I'll make sure the others don't either."
"Thank you," said a much relieved Andy. They both got up and headed back to the room.
A phone rang.
