A/N:This is a look at the past. It's a flashback chapter for the most part. If you guys would like to hear it from Annie's point of view, let me know in your review. Enjoy!

Reviewers:

AnnechanB:Yep. Justin and Annie! They'll get explained in this chapter. It'll still be awhile before Yusuke and Keiko get back together. Even when they do, Keiko is going to be at Harvard for the next four years. Thanks for letting me know what you thought. So sorry this one took so long. I was really unsure about which direction this chapter should go. I hope you enjoy it as much as the last one.

Cerridwene: I'm glad that his anguish came through so well. I was really worried about over doing it. I am such a terrible person though, making him suffer that way. The last line made me smile too. It is so nice to have our Yusuke back, is it not?

Spede:Definitely not upset. And not a Keiko's college life fic, I just wanted to introduce the rest of the players. I am sorry if you were upset by it. I like the effect of Keiko's note too. It took me awhile to figure out what would be the best way to do it. So I'm glad that it made an impact. I hope you enjoyed chapter nine more and that 10 didn't disappoint you.

Escptheshdw835:Thanks for sticking with me for so long. I always look for your review. Justin and Annie get explained in this chapter. I know that the last chapter had some twists and turns. Hopefully this one does too.

Alaskantiger:Good! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the story. Keep coming back and letting me know what you think.

Kenshinlover2002:Yusuke definitely knows what the problem is now. Hopefully he'll be able to fix it. This chapter is a little off track, going back into the past a bit. But let me know what you think about it.

XSweEtPanDaBOOX: Depressing? It will get better soon. These next couple of chapters will be full of twists and turns. Thanks for reading my story and liking it enough to let me know. Tell me what you think of this one.

Rose Angelz: Hopefully they will! But both of them are very stubborn. So it'll take a while to convince Keiko. Thanks for coming back.

Donamarine: Don't worry about not reviewing for awhile. I understand about the story. They do consume you. Annie and Justin get explained in this chapter. Later Enma and Annie are going to go head to head. I'm thrilled that you like the story despite it being a romance. It will get fluffy soon, though. Let me know what you think of this chapter.

Apathetic Empath: Cute user name. I absolutely loved it! I am so glad that you enjoyed the Keiko/Hiei interaction. I worked really hard to keep it to his personality. I am sorry about the dialogue, I hope that it is improving. I'm sorry that the first chapter felt rushed, hopefully the later chapters didn't. Thanks for letting me know what I need to improve. Let me know what you think of this chapter.

Silver Eyes Bright: I made you cry? I am so glad that my story was that good and that I am not the only one who cried. I always get a little wrapped up in my characters. I plan to continue the story until the bitter end. I hope that this chapter, though it is a step out from the story, meets your expectations. Let me know, please.

Chapter 10: The Past

"Explain," Kurama demanded.

"About?" Koenma asked

"The man that was just here."

"Oh, him."

"Yes him."

Koenma paused and looked over at Genkai, their eyes meeting and holding for a very long time. There was a silent communication in that glance, a weighing of the pros and cons. The room had remained quiet until Yusuke had left the room. There had been a lightening of the mood when he had decided to go after Keiko but now they were worried.

Kurama had been the first to broach the subject they were all curious about. Whoever this Justin was, he had no fear of Keonma and King Enma. The fact that the person who sent him had actually threatened King Enma and obviously expected the King to listen had caught their attention.

"Annie is one of the psychics I was telling you about," Koenma finally admitted. His dark eyes serious and his tone resigned. "In fact, she's probably one of the most powerful beings on this planet but I didn't know that when I first met her." He paused and looked over at Genkai, who shook her head slightly and turned to stare out the window.

"There were a couple demons that managed to escape to the states. And these demons were not of the nice quality." Koenma paced slowly back and forth, lost in his memories. "It was decided that it would be a good idea for us to send our Spirit Detective after them. These demons were wanted on multiple charges and we really didn't want it thought by demons that the States were an escape zone."

"By the time our Spirit Detective got over there the demons had already caused the deaths of several hundred people," Genkai continued the explanation. Her voice was rough and thoughtful as she continued, "by that time Annie had already taken on three of the demons.

Flashback:

The rain was pounding down, drenching everything in a matter of seconds. Through flashes of lightening and the roll of thunder, Genkai could hear the sounds of the fight. The spirit detective had already gone down and Genkai had truly believed that she was getting ready to meet her own death.

She could still feel the demons' burning touch and its breath hot against her chilled flesh. How could it have gone this wrong? She wondered. When did the demons get this powerful? Koenma and Enma had made no mention of the demons being S class. Yet, Genkai could still feel the shock of that first blow and had realized that they were way over their heads. While her name was whispered fearfully among some of the demon community, there was no fear in the five demons they had found.

Genkai had wondered what had happened to the other three demons. The assignment had been for 8 demons. It was possible that they had turned on each other and three had been killed. But now, lying in the pool of water with the rain still pounding down on her head, Genkai had found what had killed the other three demons.

The girl stood staring up at the demon in front of her, a smile on her lips and no fear in her gaze. The rain didn't seem to affect the girl at all, in fact she seemed to delight in the coolness of the rain and the raging of the storm around her. Two of the demons had already fallen to the girl and she had pulled Genkai and the young girl with her over to the side.

Genkai had felt the strength and the conviction in the girls grip; see the burning determination in her eyes. Her voice had been calm and without hesitation as she whispered in Genkai's ear.

"You take your detective and you run Genkai. I'll handle the demons and no matter what happens don't look back."

Instead all Genkai had done was lay in the rain and watch. She didn't know what the girl was doing but it was crippling the demons. As far as Genkai could see, there had been no physical attack from the girl. All the attacks had come from the demons and yet none had managed to lay a finger on her. Instead, it was the demons that were falling.

A scream deafened Genkai and jerked her back into the present. She stared through the driving rain, straining to see if the girl had fallen. But the rain and the darkness were absolute and she could see nothing. A sound in the rain, a squishing footstep had Genkai tensing and readying herself for attack.

To her amazement it was the girl that appeared out of the darkness. There was no sign that she had even been in a fight. Her clothes were drenched from the rain but intact. There was no bruising or scratches on the girl as she knelt before Genkai. For long moments neither said anything, staring deep into the other's eyes.

In those green eyes, Genkai saw power and serenity. It seemed to reach out and wrap around you, offering peace from your own demons. The eyes were so unusual; light green with brown and gold flecks strewn in them and from the pupil a pinwheel was drawn in brown. The girls' hand on her cheek came as a surprise to Genkai, she had been so caught up in those eyes.

Despite the cold of the rain, the girls' hand was warm and comforting on her skin. Her hand pressed lightly against Genkai's cheek and Genkai could feel her eyes get heavy. Even as she tried to fight off the effects, Genkai knew that she had lost. Sleep dropped over her like a warm blanket and she knew no more.

It was morning when Genkai opened her eyes. She was back in her temple and the spirit detective was sleeping soundly beside her. She and the detective had been put into dry clothing and their wet things hung up. The suitcases they had taken with them, stood beside the door. Of the girl who had saved them, there was no sign.

"And that was the first time I ever met her," Genkai finished. Her voice was loud in the silence of the temple.

"It's not possible," Hiei protested. "I would have heard about it."

"Ordinarily you would be right," Koenma agreed. "But Father deemed that information to volatile to be released. It was decided that Genkai and the spirit detective would take credit for the killings." Koenma shrugged his shoulders and met each of their gazes. "Father took care of everything after that."

"So what got her so pissed? 'Cause I'm not hearing anything that would lead to death threats," Kuwabara suddenly demanded. "I mean come on! A girl doing that is insane. She'd have to be like Uremeshi…" his voice trailed off. "She was a demon?"

"My father thought that she was," Koenma replied. "But I didn't know that until I saw her again."

"Again?" Kurama questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. And that's the beginning of this story."

Flashback

The doors at the entrance of the castle swept open suddenly. Thunder and lightening shook the castle and a howling wind rushed down the open corridor. Koenma glanced up as the wind battered at his door and then it burst open. Several of his troll helpers tumbled in and papers whirled into the air. Keonma could feel the rage building inside of him and he was getting ready to yell when a blur of motion at his door made rendered him speechless.

The girl standing in his doorway was beautiful. Her body was encased in snow-white armor that hugged every curve and dip of her body. Her long blond hair fell to the floor in a riot of curves. She herself seemed to be glowing, pulsing with each breath she took. Her green eyes were burning brightly and it seemed that flames were contained within them. In her hand a golden staff gleamed brightly, the gold seeming to conform to her hand.

Her power swirled unchecked and uncontained into his office. He could feel sweat beginning to trickle down his cheek as he met that burning green gaze. The pain, anguish and rage in them almost brought him to his knees. Fear suddenly rose in his throat and he wondered if he was going to die.

"Where is your father?" The woman gritted out. Her voice was harsh in the silence.

"Excuse me?" Koenma drew himself up and faced the woman head on. "You can not just come into…"

"Enma! Appear now or I'll kill your child!" The woman didn't raise her voice or look away from Koenma as she spoke.

There was a deep rumbling, a sudden rush of wind and then Enma was rising out of a wall of fire. Koenma took a small step back at the anger burning in his fathers' eyes.

"Well, so there you are," the woman purred as she stared up at Enma without blinking.

"You are not welcome here demon," Enma rumbled.

"Demon am I? Is that why your little squad came to see me?" The girl asked as she stepped further into the room.

"Of course you are."

"Really?"

"And I will have you killed."

The girl laughed at that. The sound was grating and full of pain as it rebounded in the large room. She shook her head at Enma, her hand clenching on the staff. Koenma took another step back, his eyes fearful as he stared at first his father and then at the girl.

"I would like to see you try it," the girl hissed. "I know exactly who you are and what you are."

"I doubt that little girl," Enma scoffed. "And even if you do, what makes you think that you are powerful enough to take me on?"

A smile touched the girls' mouth, her face lighting with a dark humor as she stepped forward. She tilted her head to the side and her mocking gaze met Enma's burning one. "You haven't asked about your team, Enma. The one's you sent after me," she finally responded.

"I'm sure that they'll be along soon," Enma stated, trying to ignore the fear slowly traveling up his spine.

"Are you?" She asked with another smile. "In that case, I believe that these are yours."

The girls' hand, which had been hidden behind her back, came forward. In her hand was clenched the hair of the heads of the spirit squad. Koenma could feel his breath catching in his throat at the sight. Their faces were twisted in agony and fear; blood dripping onto the tiled floor. The girls' face was twisted into a semblance of a smile as she met Enma's suddenly fearful gaze. She threw the heads onto the ground in front of Enma.

Koenma closed his eyes at the sound of the heads striking the floor. It was a dull thunking sound that multiplied as the heads rolled. There were smears of blood on the floor and the faces were staring sightlessly up at Enma, their gazes seeming to plead with their king.

"It's very simple," her voice was loud in the silence and yet so soft. Each word was carefully measured and enunciated. "We both know that you tried to do something very stupid. Probably thought I didn't have my full power. Don't think that because I am currently in this form that I can not and will not kill you." She paused and stepped closer to Enma, her hand clenching and unclenching on the golden staff. "As of now you will stay away from the United States. You will stay away from everyone I care about. If I even get a hint that you have ordered a hit I will come back here and I will destroy you."

Koenma watched in stunned silence as his father nodded. "I will do as you ask." He paused for a moment before continuing, "may I ask what happened."

The girl had turned away after he had agreed but paused for a moment at his question. Then she began moving again, her boots clicking on the tiles with each step. For a moment, Koenma believed that she wasn't going to answer but at the door she paused. Her hand resting on the door, fingers curling around the wood, her eyes an anguished green with tears shimmering in them.

"You killed the man I loved and the father of my child, Enma."

A/N: I hope that this chapter provided enough twists. I know that it didn't go the way I planned it to go. I stopped it before I wanted but I also thought it was a good place to end. See you in the next chapter. Thanks for stopping by and make sure you let me know what you think.
