The group continued to watch the woman's body float in the air, wind gusts roaring around her and a beam of light shining from her forehead. Genkai stared at the girl, face emotionless. Yusuke was looking up and swearing every few seconds, his curses barely heard above the howl of the wind. Kuwabara was looking also, except completely dumbfounded, and Kurama looked about ready to catch the woman if she fell. Hiei, however, kept his hand on the sheath of his katana.

Suddenly, the beam stopped as well as the wind. Although the young woman still floated, she slowly began to descend to the floor. However, before anyone could make a move, the girl slowly turned upright, feet floating a few inches off the ground. Everyone gasped when they saw her. Her hair had changed from brown to deep red, and her eyes luminated bright green. But what made them all stare was the difference in length of the girl's ears. Instead of normal size, they had extended much farther.

Abruptly, the woman slowly lowered to the floor until her feet were flat on the surface. Everyone stepped back unconsciously as the shining figure slowly raised her head, crimson hair billowing around her body. In fact, her hair had grown incredibly longer, to the point where it was barely above the floor and a wind still flowed around her, except much less intense than before. Although everyone was shocked, Genkai remained calm and slowly proceeded towards the shimmering figure.

The woman continued to stand and made no move, other than her eyes opening and closing every few moments. Genkai then spoke. "Hello, Freya. You have grown since I last saw you." The figure slowly turned her gaze towards Genkai as if just noticing her, and replied in a quiet but powerful voice "It has been a long time...Genkai." Everyone's mouths dropped at that point. Even Hiei was a bit surprised. The wind around the one called Freya then diminished, but her hair still fluttered behind her, as if moved by an invisible gust. Genkai continued to step forward, until she almost within arm's reach of the woman. Freya continued to stare, unblinking.

She then slowly bent down and picked up the mirror that Michiru had dropped earlier. For some reason, the glass wasn't broken or even cracked. She then smiled and ran a hand over the mirror lovingly. Genkai smiled as well. "So, Michiru recognized mom's old hunk of junk mirror..." Freya chuckled, then held it to her chest. "She always loved this old thing." Genkai nodded, then replied "I kept that for her, after that certain situation, many years back." Freya looked up, and then smiled. "Ah...yes. I still remember...that happened...so long ago...you... saved our home. And our lives. I thank you." Genkai waved her hand. "Oh, nonsense. All I did was get rid of some pesky demons that kept making hell for your village. Besides, I'm amazed you remember that from so many years ago. I know that time moves fast for your kind." Freya nodded.

The woman then put the mirror down and said "Genkai. And you all as well." She looked in the direction of the others, who stood in stunned silence. "I thank you for what you have done. However, what my sister said was true. You need to find Lenos before he finds you or your families. If you don't...you all are done for." Finally, Yusuke couldn't take it anymore and went into hysterics. "WHAT IN ALL THE SEVEN HELLS IS GOING ON?! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!?! WHADDYA MEAN 'YOUR SISTER' AND 'VILLAGE' AND ALL THIS CRAP?!?! SOMEONE CARE TO GIVE ME A NEWSFLASH HERE?!" Genkai rolled her eyes as Yusuke continued to shout, along with Kuwabara. Kurama blinked, as if trying to make sense of the bizarre scenario, whereas Hiei continued to stare with his cold crimson eyes. 'I knew that wasn't an ordinary ningen girl...' he growled in his mind.

The one called Freya slowly looked around, then back at Genkai, who was trying to get Yusuke to shut up by methods of physical torture. When she spoke, everyone stopped, for her Spirit Energy seemed to have tripled since the girl had gone into a trance-like state. "You all should know...I am this girl's sister..." All the boys exchanged looks, except Genkai, who just stood in silence. Freya continued. "And I thank ye for looking out for her. My sister...she is very precious to me and takes roll in something much greater. A task has been given to her...one that will take all of her strength to succeed in. Her power...will determine...the future of the Earth. No...the entire universe. Only she will be able to conquer the dark era that is coming..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Holy peanuts, I've been lazy lately...sorry to all my readers that actually have the time to look for updated stuff, but I've been busy with school, school and school lately.
