Kenya already had the idea that they were being followed. In fact, he had been sensing her for the past weeks, and it was part of the reason he dragged Seika out of their house. He already knew she was out side in the park, but he was curious to see if Seika could sense it.

Hiei had been telling him about how powerful Seika was, but Seika just couldn't tap it yet. He had a hidden power of his own, and it would require either a lot of training or a lot of will to unleash it.

Kenya sighed. He kind of wished he had a hidden power like that, but years of training had proved to show that he was at his max right now, and the only way to get stronger was to tune his power. That was it.

Katai had her full power also, only she had trouble controlling it, so she was afraid to use it unless she really needed it. Haku had a complete mastery of all of his abilities, knowledge, and spirit energy. His father, Kurama, had taught him well, giving him all the information he knew of plants and how to grow them. Right on down to the smallest and most useless saplings he could create.

The only ones whom had such hidden power, were Seika, Tsuki, and Satou. Tsuki because she had yet to even start her training due to Kuwabara's fear that she would get hurt. Satou, because even though she had been training for about a year or two, she still hadn't chosen an elemental side to follow. The family ran on ice and fire, yet she didn't use either in her attacks.

Kenya stared up at the parting of the trees overhead. He knew Arune was watching them, and he knew that she had the idea that they were watching her too.

"Come down Arune!" Kenya shouted up. "We know who you are and we know what you've been up to."

"Do you?" A childish girl voice answered. "Or do you think you know?"

"We know about your leader, and the children he's taking! Come down and fight us, or we will have to chase you and catch you by force!" continued Hiei's son.

"Fight you. That wouldn't really be fair, would it? I have far too much experience for you little flies to deal with me. You haven't even left the warm crib of your homes just yet and you expect to match my skill."

"Just get down here and fight us!" Seika shouted up, clenching his teeth in frustration.

The branches stirred with the wind, but they received no response.

"I know you're still up there!" Kenya shouted up. "I can sense you! I have sensed you for a while now. You've been following us! I want to know why!"

There was silence for a moment and the soft chirp of birds and the scurrying of squirrels was all that could be heard.

Then, a reply rushed to them on the wind as the trees again stirred with it's movement.

"Why? You want to know why eh? You amuse me, little humans. I want to see if you can keep up to your words in fighting me."

Suddenly, before them, the image of the girl they had seen on their watches appeared before them. Her short kimono and the pink eyes and purple hair were instantly recognizable. She still had the spear in her hand.

"Apparently she doesn't change her clothing." Seika joked, as Kenya give a silent smile at his friends joke. This was a serious moment, and Seika was reflecting his personality on it, similar to the same way Yusuke would.

"I don't for I don't need to change. Come on. Both of you. I doubt the both of you combined can beat me."

"I will fight you alone." Kenya whispered so only Seika and the girl before them could hear it. But he was surprised to find he was rejected.

"No. I want to fight her. I want to see how far my training has taken me." Seika replied, stepping up.

"Are you sure?" Kenya inquired, hoping his friend wasn't just being arragant.

"Positive. Come on chick. You're far too cocky for your own good."

"Cocky? You call me cocky when you are the one fighting me on your lonesome. We shall see whom is the arragant fool here."

Kenya stepped out of the way to watch the fight commence.

Seika had only been with Genkai about a week, but already, Kenya could sense a major difference in his abilities from when he started.

Seika sighed patiently. Arune, calm and icy like the lake they had passed, smiled softly, looking like a porcelain doll a little girl would buy from the toy store.

"Let's get this over with. I'm tired of waiting." She mocked, disappearing on the wind.

Kenya figured she used the wind element, considering she moved on it so well. It was as if she disappeared, and you only knew she was there by the soft abnormal brushes of the leaves to themselves.

Seika stood completely still.

At first, someone who didn't see the signs Kenya did, would suspect that Seika was frozen in place, probably to frightened to turn around for chance the little hanyou girl would be standing behind him.

But Kenya saw past that first impression. He knew Seika's eyes were closed, and he was using his spirit awareness to locate his opponent. He had learned much indeed from Master Genkai.

Suddenly, the two bladed staff sliced out of thin air behind Seika, and before Kenya could scream a warning, a swift hand had snatched and tugged on it.

Seika had managed to spin faster than Kenya had even seen, to grab the staff from it's position in the sky, and as he held it in place, the image of Arune became slowly visible in the air.

She was floating in the air! She just had to be a wind demon!

"You're pretty good blue eyes." She mocked. "But how good?" Suddenly, she spun to kick him at the side of the head so as to stun him, but again, he was far too fast, and before she noticed what had happened, Seika had disappeared and reappeared behind her, catching her in a hold that held her arms behind her back.

She kicked a little, trying her best to shove him off, but it didn't seem to work. He had her caught, and caught good.

"Hey Kenya! Take a look! I caught her! I actually caught her!" Seika shouted, but Kenya had to slap his forehead in embarrassment when Arune escaped the hold and knocked him across the belly with her staff.

"Take that you bastard!" she shouted, leaping off into the wind again.

"Bastard? How old are you? Eleven? And you're saying that kind word?" Seika inquired staring at the wind.

"Seika, if you haven't forgotten, you cussed too when we were after you." Kenya reminded.

Seika grimaced. "Oh yeah. And Tsuki said I was a potty mouth. I remember."

Again, the staff jumped from the air behind him, and again he turned to catch it.

"This is getting old Arune. Why don't you try a few new tricks?"

A lightning bolt jumped from the staff and attacked him, causing his hair to fly out of it's tie and stand up on end.

Kenya couldn't help but chuckle at the odd standing of his hair.

The staff disappeared again, as Seika gasped.

"Okay. That's new. I shouldn't have asked."

He reached up to his hair when he thought it felt odd, and began to flatten it down out of frustration. "Stupid hair! Why the hell do you have to be so god-damned long!"

'And he's wondering how it is that Arune is cussing? He's no better himself.' Kenya thought, sighing once more that day.

"That's it! I'm going to use a trick of my own now!" Seika shouted, putting his hands together before him.

Closing his eyes to concentrate, he brought forth the image of what looked like a yellow sword made from spirit energy. It was very similar to Kuwabara's, only this one was a little more unique. The handle for instance was about as long as the sword itself, making Kenya wonder if it was one sword or a sword staff.

"See! I have something just like yours! Come on out! I want to try out on you!" Seika shouted at the wind, taking a sword stance.

It was the exact one Hiei had taught him, only he was standing without a single mistake in his stance.

'He's been practicing? I can't believe it! He's been practicing!'

The wind swirled before Seika and Arune reappeared, smiling. "Spiritual energies. You truly have been training well with the master."

"The hell? You've been watching me?"

"Yes. I've been watching all of you. I find it ironic that you are all around the same age as me, yet you have the same abilities. And you are not even completely demon."

"Neither are you, are you Arune?" Kenya inquired, stepping forward for a moment. "Why have you been watching us?"

"Why have you been training so hard?" Arune replied, here eyes narrowing.

"That's not the point."

"It's the same exact thing. You refuse to answer my question as I refuse to answer yours."

"Yeah well. It's about time you stopped. You can't believe how many times I have to stare out the window of the bathroom everytime I need to go because I get the feeling you're watching me!" Seika shouted, standing up straight.

"Seika. I really did not need to know that." Kenya replied, his eyes narrowed as well.

"Oh...Well now you know!" Seika laughed, scratching the back of his head mindlessly for a moment.

Arune took that moment to attack.

But she skipped over Seika and decided to attack Kenya.

Kenya was prepared to fight back, but a yellow sword lengthened and caught her in the face, throwing her backwards from Kenya. "Hey chick! You're fighting me! Not him! Come on!"

Kenya smiled uncontrollably. Seika had gotten strong. Now he was at a level were demons, even those a little stronger than the usual had to watch themselves. Seika was a good fighter, and an eager learner at that.

Arune had landed in a tree, but instantly, she was up and at the top branch when Seika swiped at the bark.

"You call that an attack. A baby demon could deflect that." Arune mocked, bringing her staff before her.

"You call that a jump. A kangaroo can do better." Seika returned, causing her to glare.

"Be quiet you incompetant human. You know not what you're doing."

"I reply the same to you." Seika replied.

"Oh really. I'm up here. You're down there. Who do you think is going to win?" Arune chuckled, looking sinister for a moment.

"Me!" Seika replied, running up the bark of the tree to get to the branch Arune was at. In astonishment, she jumped and landed on another branch, facing the one she had left. Seika was now standing where she once had.

"See. I can get up here too."

'Did Master Genkai show him that? I don't believe he could climb trees that fast before! Makes me wonder what he does on his free time.' Kenya thought to himself, watching the fight with amusement.

Now if only Seika could awaken his powers, maybe this would be finished quickly. Otherwise, they were bound to be standing her a while. That, and night time was beginning to encroach on them, soon to leave them in difficult darkness.

"Hey Seika! We have to finish this quickly, otherwise it'll be too dark to fight!" Kenya shouted to his friend.

Seika looked down with a smile. "That's okay! I've gained a really good spirit awareness since I started training, and as long as she stays close, I can fight her no problem!"

Kenya glared up.

Seika, remembering what he had said, covered his mouth in embarassment. "Woops. Wasn't supposed to reveal that. Oh well. Doesn't matter. Kenya says I got to finish it quick. I'll listen to him." Seika said, staring at Arune with a confident smile. "Let's finish this."

Arune returned the confident smirk, and disappeared, but then again, so did Seika.

'There're going at it with most of what they have. I doubt I'll be able to see much of it now. They'll be moving too fast.'

And Kenya was right. Every once in a while, he caught a glimpse of Arune and Seika fighting, but usually it was a glimpse of the clashing of their weapons, or a short martial arts scene in which neither of them knew much of that aspect, so it was kept simple.

Finally, Seika plummated from the air into the ground, the two bladed spear flying after him to hit the collar of his shirt right next to his neck, pinning him to the tree.

His sword disappeared as he glared at the spear. "Dammit! Why'd you do that?! I liked this shirt!"

"Like I care." Arune replied, appearing in front of him. She snatched the end of the spear, but stood for a moment to look him over. "You're all beat up. Bet the bruises hurt too. Let me finish that."

"Hell! Are you planning on killing me!" Seika shouted, staring at her in disbelief.

"That's the general idea. Hold still and it'll be quick and painless."

Seika didn't reply immediately, and when she pulled the spear from the tree, he still didn't move. His head was bowed his eyes closed.

"Nice." Arune replied with a smile.

Kenya was walking towards her, getting ready to attack should she strike at his friend, but when the spear came down, it wasn't him that stopped it.

Seika's hand gripped the end, and slowly, almost mockingly, he looked up, silver eyes glinting.

"You'll stop that if you know what's good for you." A different voice echoed from Seika's throat.

Kenya froze for a moment, staring at his friend.

Arune was also frozen with shock. "The hell. You...You...You're not the human I was fighting!"

"Correct. You are smart. I'll give you that. Better move it bird, or I will snatch your heart and rip it out."

Arune lept away, having to leave her double bladed spear where it was for fear he'd stab her with it if she tried to take it.

Slowly, almost taking his time, Seika stood up, and Kenya noticed the fangs protruding over his lower lips, and how long the stubbed nails on his hands had grown.

His long black hair was sweeping around his face, causing him to look hidden in darkness, especially because of the darkening sky.

Slowly again, he turned, staring at Kenya with a look of malice. Then, a smile appeared to his fanged lips.

"Hiei. It's been a while. I will admitt however, that you look younger than when I last saw you."

"I'm not Hiei." Kenya replied, gripping at the dagger he kept in his pocket for such occasions as these. "But you're close. I'm his son. Who are you?"

"Tsk tsk tsk. I won't tel lyou that so easily. My only clue to you though, is that you're father knows me. We have some...history from long ago...Ask him about me. He'll know. After all, he wouldn't be happy now if it weren't for me." The being said with a laugh, almost cynical in nature.

"Give Seika back his body spirit!" Kenya replied coldly, glaring at the new comer.

"What was that?" The spirit inquired, his laughing stopped. "Did you just ask me to give this idiot his body back?"

"Yes I did. Do it now or I will attack."

The spirit smiled, allowing his silver eyes to penetrate. Suddenly, there was a flash of gold in them as he laughed harder. "I can't give him back! He's the one that asked me to come out!"

"What?" Kenya asked in disbelief.

"'Tis true. Your friend here couldn't handle what was happening so he asked me to come out. Although he was debating letting me out because I might kill you. Heh. He was as foolish as a newborn demon. There's no way I'm giving this back—!" Suddenly, an electrical blast erupted from the staff in his hand, and he raised it, bringing the person holding it up to his face. He breathed in Arune's face, almost taking in her scent as he dropped the staff and snatched her neck with a smile.

"You are a cute demon but you try me. You seem to have no respect for your elders! I will show you respect!"

He raised his arm to the air, causing it to form a flaming ball in his hand, and started to through it.

Arune closed her eyes to prepare for the hit, but it never came.

When her pink eyes fluttered open, she found that he was standing in surprise, staring at her, but his eyes rolled up into his head and he fell back, letting her neck go in his weakness.

Standing behind him was Haku, with a small plant in his hand which had tenticles stuck in Seika's neck.

"Sleeping weed. Helps knock out a person who can't get any sleep." He remarked, closing his hand to compress the plant back into a seed. Then he placed it in his pocket and sat down to heal up the small wounds the tentacles had left in his neck.

"Haku, you're here just in time." Kenya replied, running up to check on Seika. "What do you think happened to him?"

"It seems the spirit in his body found a point of weakness in Seika's conscienceness and took the opportunity." His smart friend replied.

"Wait? You knew about the other being in his head?"

"Yes. I noticed it when he came back to life. His skin was a little too white for his rebirth, and the spirit beast that came from the egg was abnormally hatched and abnormally formed. To say it simply, whatever is inside of him made sure he was brought back to life sooner than was supposed, so as to try to take his body as a living mortal without having to wait for rebirth."

While they talked, Arune took the time to grab her staff so as to escape. She walked away, looking back only once before taking to the air.

Unfortunately for her, as soon as she hit the air, she fell again, only to be wrapped in vines that littered the park floor.

Kenya turned to find her fighting, and remembered that there had been no vines there before.

"Your doing?" He inquired, pointing in Arune's direction.

"It would be quiet a loss if she left after everything you two did to catch. After all, we still have many questions to ask her. And yes. I put the vines there while the demon spirit was giving off his speech." Haku answered, standing up. "The vines will carry the girl and we can work together in carrying him. Come on. Lets get a move on."

"Oh yeah, Haku?" Kenya inquired as they began to pick Seika up off the ground. "How did you know we were here?"

"There's a meeting in Koenma's castle. When you two didn't show up, they asked me to go looking for you. Then I found you were fooling around with an eleven year old demon girl and a spiritual possession. At the least, from now on, if you leave with out saying where you're going..."

Kenya sighed. Here came the lecture from Mr. Perfect.

"...take me along." Haku finished smiling.

"What?!"

"You two seem to find the interesting things. If I want to practice my abilities as a spirit plant user, then I have to find demons to practice on. You two and Katai seem to find the interesting things, so then I should follow the both of you."

"Right." Kenya replied with a smile, as the two began to walk with Seika's arms slumped over their shoulders. Their friend hung asleep between them.

The vines holding a fighting Arune stood up and followed them, as they began to leave the park.

"Oh...another question. How the hell are we going to get Seika and Arune out of here wihtout people beginning to wonder how it is plants move on four legs." Kenya inquired, glancing back at the vines carrying Arune. They had developed four legs as if it were a horse, and had Arune completely wrapped in gentle vines.

"Botan's waiting a couple of yards ahead for us. How else did you think I got here all the way from spirit world so fast."

"Oh. Stupid question." Kenya remarked, chuckling at his own stupidity. Of course Botan was waiting for them. Haku didn't know how to teleport just yet.

Oh well.

When Seika woke up, they would be in Koenma's castle. The very place Seika woke up the first time.

But only one thought hung on his mind.

Why was a meeting called, but they not warned? What information did Koenma have that was so urgent? He would have to ask when they got there.

For now, they just had to make it to Botan before anyone spotted them being followed by a group of vines.

Catse: There you go! I was just curious, but do any of you have any idea to whom it is that's has invaded Seika's body? How would you feel if you woke up one day (even though Seika woke from death) and felt like someone else was in there? I know I would really try to either find out who they were, or kick them out. But who do you think has invaded Seika's body? I can't give any more clues than what I gave otherwise you would all find out instantly. In any case, 'til I update next (which I hope is sooner than the seven days I waited) review and I will write again. Ja Ne for now!
