Me: Yeah, I know it took me practically forever to update this chapter. But I have two, or three decent reasons. 1 I had writers block. 2 ff,net deleted a story of mine and suspended my updating privileges till Monday. 3 I started another story that's a crossover deluxe, but that's not decent enough so here's one more. 4 I had family in town and school started at the same time.
Hiei: I say only 2 good reasons. 1 and 3 really sucked. [Gets hit upside the head by me.] Just do the damn recap, and start the chapter.
Me: Fine. But before I do you have to say these couple of things. [Hands Hiei a slip of paper]
Hiei: The first thing I will never say. [A/N: It said: I forever belong to Aya who is also known as Dragon Ladysupreme. This becomes official at this moment and is irrevocable, not sellable, not returnable and nontransferable. This may only be passed on in a will] Aya doesn't own YYH, she only owns Callisto. Wings of Blood owns Sayo and Kokoro and Wolf Moon-chan owns herself, Dione, Kenoke and her medallion. Now do the damn recap.
Me: Hai my sensei.
Hiei: Don't call me that.
Me: Hai!
Hiei: Baka youkai.
Me: Buto. Ummm... lets see what happened again. [Thinks for a moment or two] I remember now. Sakyo sends a hawk demon named Kokoro to spy on Callisto and take what she cares for most. Callisto uses a spirit summoning spell to bring forth a man named Sydney to her home and answer a few question. Botan collects Callisto for some questioning that ends up with her in a tube. And Wolf Moon-chan appears at Callisto's door with a few words before fainting.
Hiei: At least you breathed this time. Now stop stealing my katana's and giving them to people you've been reviewing.
Me: We'll continue that conversation later. First things first and now for the second. Enjoy this chapter minna-san.^_^
########################################################
**In Koenma's room, the blue liquid in the tube started to clear and they would finally reveal the truth.**
Botan: Sir, is the potion supposed to do that?
Koenma: Of course it's not supposed to do that! This can only mean one thing, she's only part demon. [The tube finally cleared up to reveal a six foot tall woman. Her hair was silver with blood colored ends where some streaked to the roots. Her ears and tail which resembled a wolf's were silver, she still showed her scars but they were glowing blood red against her silver skin. Still in the wet suit from before, the St. Locus rood inverse that seemed to have bled a bright blue through the wet suit. But only her left half showed this, the right half showed the same form from before the blue liquid was inserted into the tube.] But she matches Kurama's description of the ninja from all that time ago, it's definitely her.
Botan: You mean we did this to her without being completely positive that the stuff will work?
Koenma: Well, yes. I had no choice. I was almost positive that she was the same person that was in the file.
Botan: Well, [Takes a closer look at Callisto.] it looks like she's also part human, but if that's true then how can she still be alive after all this time? [Koenma thinks very hard {A/N: I know that its hard to believe, but he is}]
**In Callisto's living room. Kurama is putting a currently unconscious Wolf Moon-chan on the currently empty couch. Sydney is still in the armchair and Hiei is on a third couch in the room next to Yusuke.**
Kurama: [Checks her vitals.{Her pulse and energy reserves for all you perv's, Kurama isn't sick}] Her energy is very low, and her pulse is thready [A/N: Learned that from ER, which I don't own] but with a little rest, she'll be in good enough condition to explain herself. First thing, Sydney what is your connection to Callisto? There is more than what she said, I'm sure of that.
Sydney: I've known of her since she was born, but I only knew her directly on and off for less than seven months.
Hiei: Just tell us who she is, or you won't live to get back to reikai ningen. [Sydney just shrugs.]
Sydney: I'm sure she's told you her full name, and at least the vaguest idea of her father.
Yusuke: Yeah, well why don't you refresh our memories and give us better details. See I have the worst memory of little things like that. [Everyone sits down on the available couches and stares at Sydney who is in deep thought for wording his story just right.]
Sydney: For you to fully comprehend me, I'll start from the beginning. There's a legend called Vagrant Story, it's about a Riskbreaker, a city, and the Crimson Blades. And finally Müllenkamp, which I was leader of. I had to pass the blood sin on to someone with the strength of all capacities. That is how I came across Ashley Riot, Riskbreaker of the Valendia Knights of the Peace, top of his class, and a puppet to which I cut the strings.
Kurama: Sounds like she was a strong soldier. And the legend sounds familiar.
Sydney: [Chuckles three times] Yes, he was. He was able to rid the city of it's demons he came across with his bare hand's. Some being in the same class as yourselves. [Kurama blushes in embarrassment quickly.] He survived all tests I led him through, and even a few I didn't.
Hiei: That explains the hart and hunter remark before she left. So lets skip ahead, he received the blood sin and you died by your own request by your fathers hand. Now what happened after that?
Sydney: About 20 years later he decided to travel around the world. He arrived in Japan, fell in love with a woman that he never mentioned the name of to me, and was forced to return to Leá Monde due to a threat by the Crimson Blades. After the threat was extinguished 5 years later, he went traveling again, but not so far away this time, he went to where you call Russia. [Sydney takes a break to gather his breath and go over his words carefully]Once again he fell in love, with a demoness of the arctic wolf animal spirit species. About a year later, when I was summoned by Ashley just for a visit, the woman appeared in an icy wind with a bundle in her hands. Both were unable to take care for their daughter, Ashley knew that he still had the other woman to go to. He took Callisto, teleported to Japan and found a little boy that he found to be his, but dared not say anything. Begging her to watch and take care of her as her own, he left her there with nothing but a name, Callisto Riot, and the request that the boy take the same last name as well. The person was still in love with him, so she agreed to act as the surrogate mother. After that I do not know what happened to her for the next fifteen and a half years.
Yusuke: And here I was thinking my life was hard, hers just plain sucked. But wasn't her father really old when she was born, how could a woman fall in love with someone like that?
Sydney: First of all, back then age wasn't so much the case. The second, the blood sin gives the possessor "immortality" which meant his body was in a time set, he could live for centuries and only look in his twenties.
Yusuke: Whoa, that's fucking useful.
Sydney: That's only the gift of the mark, there's a curse part of it that I feel Callisto should explain.
Hiei: Just tell us about the last time you saw her ningen.
Sydney: Impatient are we? [Hiei growls and clenches his fists]
Kurama: Forgive him, fire demons are not renown for their patience. It would be best if you just continued. [Sydney gets even more comfortable in the arm chair, picking his words carefully]
Sydney: Well! A demon that actually has some manners, that's a rare sight. But you have a point so I'll just continue. She didn't come to the city until her father picked her up as she was leaving wherever she was. Let me tell you, she was pissed off. I mean she was only a 15 year old girl that was introduced to her real father and was expected to defeat him in a match to the death on her 16th birthday, which was only a few weeks away. Unable to talk to her, Ashley summoned me to get her ready for a fight she had no choice but to win. I got to know her, train her and teach her magic. Well needless to say, she won the fight, but after that she teleported back to Japan to train under someone called Keiya of Tenpouin Clan. After that, once again I am unable to help you. [notices Wolf Moon-chan stirring] Better deal with her though. [She sat up and rubbed her eyes groggily, not surprised at the sight of four men staring at her. Three of which she noticed right away, the other was new.]
Wolf Moon-chan: Before you kill me, there is something that you must realize. One of my Yami's had control over me over the last few days. I know exactly what she did, and I wish to let you know that she won't bother you again.
Kurama: And how is that, if you don't mind my asking? [He brushed his fingers through his hair, pulling out a seed, and holding it in his hand.]
Wolf Moon-chan: I found an entrapment spell, and locked her in my medallion. Then I banished the item into the shadow realm, leaving me and my other Yami alone. Out of both of them, Dione, which was the one that I banished, was the most evil of them. The other just keeps us both in check. [She looked and saw hard looks in their faces, except Sydney, who was ignoring everything she was saying.] I'll be on my way now. [Gets up to leave, only to be stopped by Hiei, who pushed her back down]
Hiei: How can we be so sure that what you say is true. [Kurama pulls Hiei back and allows her to get back up.]
Wolf Moon-chan: Truth is, you can't. But my word is all you have to go on. Don't worry, I'm leaving Japan for good. Unless your in America, most likely you wont see me ever again. [She gets up, grabs her guitar and leaves.]
Yusuke: Now what?
**Back in Koenma's office, Callisto was now in her demon form completely. Koenma was writing down his observations in a file that was very thick. Unable to notice Callisto starting to wake up. Botan was continuing with her questions**
Botan: Sir, just tell me why we pushed the potion even higher in the dose. You couldn't have needed her in her demon form completely to make the same notes you are now. [Koenma puts down the file and pen in frustration]
Koenma: Because Botan, I need to make sure that no unusual markings appear on her on either side of her. Now check up on that loose spirit at Callisto's house. [Botan nodded, took out her oar and flew out the window.] So many scars, it ruins such a pretty face. And the one on the throat is just awful.
Callisto: [Finally fully awake, she froze all the water against the glass and punched it. Stepping out after the tube shattered, she pulled off the oxygen mask and headed towards Koenma.] You. Bastard. Do you have any idea of what you just did?[Koenma shook his head in pure fear.] Forcing my form out puts my body into great stress. My mind must transform at the same time, or else I have little control over my powers. [Wearily, Callisto sits down in the same chair that bound her when she first came in.] I doubt that I can even change back, till later.
Koenma: Well, if it makes you feel better, you can go back home now. Oh wait, I just sent Botan back to your place. [Callisto gives a smirk] What?
Callisto: I won't need her. I can get back on my own. [Stands back up, mutters something in Latin, and a blue glowing circle with symbols circling it appeared on the floor] Teleportus, Tokyo home. [Callisto disappears in a white shimmering light.]
Koenma: Wish she did that before. [talks on intercom] Ogre! Bring me some fried squid. All this observing is making me hungry.
############################################################
Me: God, was that torture, having to write all that Koenma stuff.
Hiei: I didn't kill anyone. [Remembers earlier conversation.] Now will you stop taking my damn katana's?
Me: I'll think about it. Mmmmmmnnnooooooo, it's your own fault for making them shiny. So before you even argue with that, I'm ending the show.
Hiei: You've been avoiding fights too much lately, I don't trust this attitude.
Me: Well I have a reason for that, but I don't feel like saying it now. So to you wonderful readers, review praise and debate on whether or not I should continue stealing bishie stuff and giving them to those I review. Do you like these pre and post chapter conversations? And should I put in Karasu or not? Ja ne minna-san! ^_^
**Next on New Case. A Demon in Human Skin? I stop telling you what's going to happen in the next chapter. One of the Reikai Tantei finally makes their move on someone their starting to like.**
