Somebody New

Chapter Three

Serena sat in the waiting room to King Yama's office. She had just gotten back from Earth was now back in her own world. Still a little steamed from the talk she had with Koenma, and his fighters, she tried to calm herself down before going to talk to Yama. Her arms and legs were both crossed, and her dangling foot was twitching impatiently.

'Those idiots...they think they can handle an Echo Demon...they wouldn't last one minute in my world.' She though bitterly. 'Especially that big- mouthed idiot.' She added, thinking of Yusuke. She rolled her aqua eyes and snorted. 'Whatever. At least I won't have to deal with them anymore.'

Her thought was adverted as King Yama's booming voice beckoned her into his office. Standing up from her chair, she took a deep breath before entering. Walking calmly, she walked to the middle of the floor in front of him and bowed respectfully. "Did you talk to my son, Serena?" he asked.

"Yes, sir. I told him to take the matters up with you," she replied, straightening up again.

"Good. Thank you, Serena." Yama thanked. She nodded in reply and turned without another word, preparing to walk out. "Serena," he began again, causing her to stop. She turned back around and faced him again.

"Yes, sir?"

"I need to ask you a favor," he said slowly. She waited patiently. "I need you go and watch over my son and how he's taking care of Earth. I want you to go fight with the Spirit Detectives."

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" she blurted before she could think. She sweat dropped and blushed a deep red color. "I-I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to-"

"Don't worry, Serena." King Yama replied with a nod. She was about to turn back again, but she began speaking before she could stop herself again.

"But they're arrogant and-and they're weak! I'll be doing all the work! I don't think I can do this by myself, sir!" she complained, stumbling with her words.

"They may be arrogant, but they can fight. They're a lot stronger than what you think." He said. "We figured out that the Echo Demon slipping into Earth through a portal torn between the barriers. I've got people working on finding it and sealing it up as well as fighting everything that's been coming lately. There's been a demon problem over here. After we seal up the hole over here, we'll work on sealing the one on Earth. Until then, we need someone on Earth to protect it if anything like an Echo Demon comes again. Next time, something stronger might come out."

Serena breathed heavily. She felt nauseous. "I don't think I can do this by myself, sir. With all do respect, the Spirit Fighters are more than I can handle. I feel like I'm babysitting them."

"You may take Chaos with you."

She sighed with relief. If she was going to do this, she might as well drag him along with her. "Thank you, sir." She said bowing again.

"Your welcome, Serena. I need you down there in a week. Will that be long enough for you and Chaos to get ready?" he asked.

"Yes, sir."

"Good. I'll tell Koenma. Be back in one week."

"Yes, sir." She said before leaving again. Once outside his office, Serena collapsed onto the chair and ran a hand through her long black hair. 'This is definitely going to be interesting.' She thought before getting up and going out to find Chaos.

"The nerve of her!" Yusuke fumed, pacing Koenma's office, his hands balled into fists. Kuwabara was slouching in another chair, fuming as well. Hiei was squatting in the same chair he had been in for the past 30 minutes with Kurama leaning against the wall next to him, while Koenma sat at his desk and Boton standing next to him.

"Calling us weaklings like that." Kuwabara grumbled in agreement.

"She was probably talking about you." Hiei pointed out calmly, his eyes closed and his head leaning against the wall behind him.

"WHAT WAS THAT, SHORT MAN?!" Kuwabara barked, jumping up, causing the chair he was sitting on to topple over.

"Not only are you weak, but you're short of hearing, too." Hiei added, while Kuwabara growled.

"WHY YOU-"

"Calm down, boys," Boton chided in a motherly voice. "You don't need to worry about her, anymore."

"See! She's so bad that Boton doesn't even like her!" Yusuke shouted, his arms flailing wildly around.

Boton gave him a look between confusion and annoyance. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Okay, look, Boton's right. She won't be in our hair anymore, so forget about her." Koenma decided. "My dad is already mad enough..." he mumbled, rubbing his bottom absentmindedly.

"She works for your dad, right?" Kurama asked. Koenma nodded. "She was very powerful...are all his fighters that powerful?"

"Yes. Some are more powerful than she is. Though, not all of them are demons like she is." Koenma answered, than sweat dropped as soon as he finished his last sentence.

"She's a demon?" They all exclaimed.

"...No..." Koenma lied nervously. "Did I say that?"

"So she's a demon!!" Yusuke shouted. "Why the hell is fighting for your father if she's a demon?"

"She's part of the Lovera family, and their family is very famous and sacred in their world." He explained, than sweat dropped again. "And I shouldn't be telling you this." He added.

"Lovera?" Hiei asked, slightly surprised, as well as Kurama.

"I thought the Lovera family were human?" Boton asked.

"Yes they are...I can't tell you this. I'm sorry." He replied firmly.

"What's so special about the Lovera family?" Kuwabara asked, doubling the confused look on Yusuke's face.

"They're part of the Elemental families. Those type of families are very rare, and are very powerful." Boton explained.

"So what is she? Half human, half demon?" Yusuke questioned irritably.

"I really can't tell you. I'm sorry, my father forbids this information to be let out." Koenma said.

"C'mon!" Kuwabara complained.

"I'm sorry, I can't." Koenma repeated, than sighed. "I suggested you guys all go home and recover your injuries." They all got up slowly and shuffled to the door, still thinking about this mysterious Serena Lovera girl. She was a mystery, and very powerful. They would just have to forget about her. For now...
