Disclaimer: I do not own YYH, Danny, Neko, or Kim. I own Umi,

lawyers?
Okay, I hope everyone liked the last chapter. Okay, Neko, if you are reading this, this is the story that I told you about over the phone. Happy? Now for chapter 5!
(Chapter 5: Immortal? Part 3)
Jenni woke up in the middle of the night with a cold washcloth on her forehead and someone sitting next to her, asleep. She looked at the person and saw that is was Yusuke. Jenni smiled slightly and tried to get out of bed, but found that Yusuke's hand was tightly clutching hers. Jenni sighed and settled back under the covers. Umi curled up next to her and Jenni remembered the note. 'If you do not come in three days, you will find your family dead.' was what the note had said. Jenni hadn't needed a signature to know who it was from.
Jenni tried to get up again, but Yusuke pulled her back to the bed.
"How long have you been awake?" Jenni asked, looking Yusuke in the eye.
"About as long as you have. What happened?" Yusuke asked, sitting down again.
"Well, Teppo had placed a spell upon the last note that forced me to look up at the sky, where a sign that only those who have read the note could see burned and caused me to faint from looking at it. That's why I tore up the note. But the words are burned into my memory," Jenni said softly, looking straight ahead of her like a statue. "'If you do not come in three days, you will find your family dead.'"
"Who is Teppo?" Yusuke asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"He is a fox/darkness demon that fell in love with me a while ago. He is one of the original five that put the curse on me, so he knows my weaknesses," Jenni said, glaring at the wall.
"What curse is this?" Yusuke asked.
"What is this, 20 questions?!" Jenni asked angrily. "I'll tell you in the morning, but you have to get out of my room, get everyone in the living room that wants to hear, and make me breakfast," Jenni said, smirking a little bit.
"And if I don't get out of your room..?" Yusuke said, standing up.
"Then I will kill you in your sleep and hang your corpse as a warning to all those that dare to venture into the depths of my room," Jenni said calmly, looking at Umi, who was cackling like a maniac.
Yusuke turned and bolted out the door like a lightning bolt.
'I can't believe I'm telling him,' was Jenni's last thought as she drifted off to sleep.
(In the morning)
When Jenni got into the living room, she found almost everyone in there. The only three people missing were Kim, Neko, and Danny, who had heard the story before. Jenni sat down and looked around. Finally, with a sigh, she started her story.
"About 50 years ago, I was a normal human girl, age 15, in high school. I wandered out into the forest in my backyard and I was taken, by a portal, to a place where five monks lived. The monks were nice and all, but there was something strange about each of them.
"They all sensed a strange power radiating from me and thought that I was a demon. So, one by one, they all put a curse on me. The first one, the Priest of Water, gave me the power of water instead of banishing it. The second, the Priestess of Earth, gave me the powers to control plants and the like instead of banishing it. The third, the Priest of Fire, gave me the power of fire. The fourth, the Priestess of Wind, gave me the power to control the winds. And the last, the Priest of Darkness, gave me my fox-demon part of me. It's a shadow-fox, in case you were wondering, Kurama," Jenni finished her tail, looking steadily around at all of them. "The last of the priests, the Priest of Darkness, fell in love with me and knew that I was little more than a human girl, and thought that the curse would make me a demon. It did. Only I have to transform every full moon. I turn into a multi-colored fox that is not all of one substance. I am of many then, of many colors and substances. I have to travel to Makai on my own and visit a special place in the depths of the Death Forest to relieve myself of that form. Then, I can go back to where ever and wait for sunrise. With the coming of dawn, my other form returns."
"That is interesting," Genkai said, looking at Jenni. "So, the priests and priestesses thought that you were a demon, but only one of them knew you weren't. I think you have more information here than we do, and if we are to protect you, then we need to know everything."
"His name is Teppo. He is the one that sent me the notes. He has my family captive and will kill them if I don't show up in three days' time. I know that he will; he's done is before," Jenni said, a small growl escaping her throat.
"So, who wants to train?!" Kim asked, popping up out of nowhere. Everyone except Jenni anime-fell.
"I will. I'll train with Kurama today. Kim, you can go with Yusuke. Yusuke, go easy on her. Neko, go with Hiei. Danny, I think you had better go with Genkai," Jenni said, looking over at Kuwabara.
They all nodded and headed outside.
"So, you can control plants, eh?" Kurama said, his eyes flashing gold.
"Yep. So, I'm guessing that you are going to test me on my abilities to control the plants, ne?" Jenni said, looking Kurama in the eye.
"Yes. Clever girl," Kurama said, grinning.
"ROSE DAGGER!!" Jenni yelled, taking out a rose and making a dagger out of it. She lunged at Kurama, who was now in his Yoko form, and missed. She did a belly-flop into a pond that was right behind Kurama. She came up with swirly eyes, then levitated into the air and glared at Yoko, who was laughing slightly.
She then landed and shoved him into the pond. He held out his hand and a vine came up behind Jenni and grabbed her ankle, dropping her in the water as well. Jenni dunked him under a couple of times and managed to get out.
"I've always wanted to see what a wet fox looks like," Jenni said with a grin. Yoko's hair was plastered to his back and face, his ears were slightly drooping, his tail was stuck to his legs, and his clothes were sticking to him.
"You little—"
"Yes, yes, I know. I'm a crazy, phsycotic little bitch, right?" Jenni said blandly.
Yoko stared at her in amazement, then burst out laughing. Jenni sighed and thought, 'I guess training isn't going to get much of anywhere. I'll go for a walk.'
Jenni started to walk away until she felt someone grab her hand. She looked back to see Kurama (the red-head) standing there, smiling sheepishly at her. Jenni just shook her head, a small smile playing across her lips as she continued to walk away.
"Wait a second!" Kurama called. "Where are you going?"
"For a walk. If you don't think that I'm able to protect myself, then you need to get to know me better," Jenni said without stopping.
"But..." Kurama trailed off when he heard Jenni's scream of terror. "There's a cliff over there."
