Chapter Two

"Who are you?" Aki asked.

"None of your business buddy. Where's Kanna?"

Kanna knew that voice from school. He was a rude obnoxious punk. He was in a few of her classes always acted like an idiot and he never did his work. He also disrespected Mr. Takanaka, which no one dared to do.

"Hey Kanna, do you know this punk?" Aki called to her.

"Let me talk to Kanna before I really do get angry."

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Yusuke Urameshi"

"Oh. Sorry, Kanna is at the register."

"Thanks."

Yusuke walked over to the register and Kanna just looked at him. She felt the fire in her want to lash out at him, burn him. She calmed herself, telling herself he was probably here because school work.

"Hey. I need to talk to you, and it needs to be without that punk around."

"I'm at work. I have a job and I have to keep it. Talk to me tomorrow."

"Look this is about fire," he said then whispered, "your fire."

Kanna's eyes widened. How did he know? How could he know?

"I don't know what you're talking about," she said.

"Look don't t lie. I know your abilities, and I know why you have them and where you got them from. And I know where your mother is."

"She's dead."

"Yes, but do you know why or how she was killed."

"My father said it was a freak accident."

Yusuke started laughing.

"You're father is a drunk unemployed ass."

"You have no right to call my father any names."

"You defend the very man that abuses you," he whispered leaning close to her so only she would hear.

Kanna glared at him. She felt the fire rising up in her again, stronger than ever. Yusuke noticed that her eyes had changed from her normal bright green to a blue which was quickly changing to an ice blue. He gulped.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry," he said laughter still in his voice, "forgive me."

"Fine," Kanna said completely unaware that her eyes had fully changed to an ice blue.

"I'll tell you how you're mother was killed, but in exchange you have to talk to me privately, and you must not tell anyone what I tell you. Agreed," he said his voice turning serious.

Kanna gulped. Should she really be making a deal with a delinquent like him? But on the other hand, to know all of the mysteries of her life. How her mother was killed and why she felt such fire in her. To know why she had to live with people that loved to torture her.

"Agreed," she said and nodded.

Yusuke nodded and then began, "Your mother was killed in by a Spirit Detective from the Spirit World."

"What are you saying! You're drunk, high or mental, probably all three. Leave me alone and never talk or contact me again."

"You agreed to listen and talk to me. Don't go back on your word, Kanna."

Kanna glared at him. She did agree to listen to him. But then again he was a teenage delinquent always in trouble. But his story might be true. He might be able to answer all of her questions. And if anyone knew about super natural things it would be him. He died earlier this year and now he was living. And how else the fire in her could be explained?

"How can I believe you? In school you're known to be a lying thief."

"When do you get out of work?"

"What?"

"You want proof; I'll give it to you, but not here, not now. So when do you get out of work?"

"I dunno, around 5:30, 6:00. But then I've got to go shopping so I can make dinner tonight."

Yusuke sighed then yelled "Hey buddy ol' pal, when does our friend Kanna get a break?"

Aki walked aver to them. Yusuke had a menacing grin on his face, and when Aki saw that he gulped.

"Uhhh…Kanna can have a break now," he said nervously.

"Thanks. Kanna, follow me."

Kanna nodded and said "Hold on," while disappearing into the back and reappearing with he sweatshirt on. Aki watched as they walked out of the store.

Yusuke led Kanna for a while. He was heading for the forest where he first net Kurama and Hiei for the first time.

"Where are you taking me?" Kanna asked nervously after a while.

"A more private spot," he said shortly and kept walking.

Kanna gulped yet again. What was she doing following a jerk like him into a place she didn't know her was around. She glanced nervously around to check and see if she knew anything that would help her find her way around or help her get away. But she saw nothing.

(A couple of hours before)

"You called Koemna, sir," said Botan brightly.

"Yes, I did. Is Yusuke talking to Kanna Kyogoku?"

"Yes, sir. How did you know her name?"

"Because I have resources that work faster. But that's besides the point..."

"What is the point Koemna, sir?"

"That you were right about her. She has a very high level of demon and spirit energy. If she begins to train that energy, she has the definite potential to reach a C class demon, maybe even a low B class."

"But sir, how did she get both?"

"Her mother was a fire demon that escaped into the human world and there she met Kei Kyogoku, Kanna's father. Her mother was called Kyoko and had a special bond with fire. She went to the human world so she could have her child with a human so that she could grow up without the chaos of Demon world and not live in the demon world she hated. When Kanna was around 2 or 3 Kyoko was killed by our Spirit Detective. That's where the demon energy came from. Her great grand-father was a Reiki Master and had very high level spirit energy, and was almost equal to Genkai. He helped train quite a few spirit detectives with Genkai. The high level of Reiki was passed to his daughter, of Kanna's grandmother but he knew not to train her. Her high level of spirit energy eventually died out because she never used it. Her son was born with a normal amount of spirit energy. But Kanna's spirit energy awoke because of the strong demon energy she has. That leaves her with two options."

"Which are, Koemna, sir?"

"If she wants to stay in the human world she must help Yusuke. If not, she must live in the demon world. Those are our only choices. If the level of her energy was much weaker, then we could let her stay in human world."

"So, sir, what choice do you think she will make? Will she help Yusuke, or leave the human world?"

"Even I'm not sure. Her family and home situation aren't very good. She lives with her father and paternal grandmother. They abuse her so she's not happy at home. In school she has no friends and other people make fun of her. So in human terms she's an introvert."

So then she would go to the Demon world to get away from the pain she has here," Botan suggested.

"Not necessarily. With Hiei and Kurama there they would certainly let her know how horrible demon world is. And humans do very odd things; she might stay there because that's all she ever knew."

"True. Koemna, sir, how exactly do they abuse her? I think at least Yusuke and I should know, so we know what to say and what not to say."

Koemna sighed. "I only want you to know most of this, only tell Yusuke the basics. She must be the one to tell everyone else. Her grandmother abuses her physically, verbally, and mentally, her father physically, verbally, mentally, and sexually. He has not yet raped her but only because of an agreement. But that agreement does not save her from the other things he does to her. He is a drunk who barely gets enough income with his drinking habits. Once again only tell Yusuke the basics."

"Of course, Koemna sir, shall I go talk to him now?" she asked.

"Yes, please do, before he does anything rash."

Botan nodded, and then flew off. Koemna watched her go wondering what her new discoveries will bring to his spirit detective.

Botan found Yusuke on the roof again. He was lying down with his eyes closed.

"Yusuke, I hate to wake you but I have a new case for you."

"Another one," he said in a board voice and opening his eyes, "Can't I ever have a break? Who do I get to beat up now?"

"No one, your assignment is to talk to Kanna Kyogoku."

"What! Only talking no way. I fight for Koemna, not debate for him, find someone else."

"Yusuke, you must take it, she is a demon and a powerful one. You must convince her to join you, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara as a spirit detective; it will be better dealing with stupidity than living in demon world, when she grew up as a human. Although, your actions and words must be carefully chosen. Her family situation is very unique."

"It can't be worse than having a lazy ass mother."

"Well, to start, she doesn't have a mother…"

Botan briefed Yusuke on Kanna's life and her background, and then told him where he could find her after school, and told him to go talk to her.

Yusuke stopped in the same clearing where he had first met Kurama and Hiei. He smiled to himself at the memories when they first met. He looked to see if Kanna was still behind him and she was.

"We're here. So what would you like to know?"

"First of all where the hell we are!"

"Good question. I don't even know. But I do know how to get back from here."

"Why the hell did you bring my here?"

"You don't even know where the fucking hell we are!"

Yusuke's answer seemed to make matters only worse. Kanna looked like she was losing her patience with him. She stayed silent until he asked her, "So is that all you wanted to ask me?"

"No, I want to know who the hell you are, and how the hell did you find out about my fire! And what do you know about my mother!"

"No need to get angry. You know who I am, I'm Yusuke Urameshi. And where should I start? There's a lot to tell you. Ask a question and I'll tell you the answer."

"Why the hell did you bring me here!" she asked trying to stay calm, but her cursing gave her away.

"Because the stuff that you want to know is highly confidential, no human should know the information."

"What the fuck, I'm a human."

"That's where you are wrong. You are half demon. Your mother was a fire demon, which is why you have the fire that you do."

"WHAT! You're fucking crazy. Does your mother know you're like this, crazy!"

"No, not really. Do you have a better explanation for your fire?"

"No, but that can't be it. Give me proof. Like something that humans can't see."

"Fine, stand back. You don't want to get hurt. Kanna meet my spirit gun"

Yusuke stood in the middle of the clearing, summoning his spirit gun. Kanna's eyes widened in disbelief when she saw the tiny ball of energy collect on the tip of his pointer finger.

"What the hell is that?"

"My spirit gun, when I pull the trigger in my mind, the spirit energy acts like a bullet. I only have one a day so I'd rather not waste it. So, what do you think of that."

"I have no idea. I don't know what to think."

Yusuke chuckled and said "Okay now will you believe me?"

"Yea, I don't really have a choice do I?"

"No, not really."

"Okay, then. So I'm half human, half fire demon. My mom's a fire demon, my mom; tell me everything you know about her!"

"Your mother's name was Kyoko…"started Yusuke. He told her everything about her family. When he finished Kanna stood silently, thinking how could it possibly all be true.

"So…," she said slowly, "My mom's name was Kyoko and she was a fire demon, and was killed by a bounty hunter or a spirit detective from the spirit world. And she cam here because she didn't want her child to live in demon world."

Yusuke nodded.

"My great-grandfather was a reiki master who helped train quite a few spirit detectives and was friends with Genkai. Who is Genkai?"

"My teacher and will be yours. You need to learn control one way or another. By the way, demons can't live in human world."

"What the fuck are you doing here then!"

"I'm not a demon."

"Then what the hell are you, some fucked up human!"

"Noooo, I'm a human who died, was brought back to life, and now has a high spirit energy level."

"Oh, excuse me," she said sarcastically, and then added angrily, "So where the fuck am I gonna live!"

"Calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down, you fucking bastard! You just told me I can't live in my world, where I grew up and lived my whole life, anymore!"

"And Koemna told me that I needed anger management. Just listen. I am a spirit detective, so I work for the spirit world. I take assignments from my boss Koemna, to take demons back to the demon world and kill the ones that are causing trouble and killing humans, and the lower class demons like parasites, they don't really think for themselves."

"That still doesn't answer my question."

"I'm getting there. My team is Kuwabara; he has a high level of spirit energy like me, Kurama, a demon, and Hiei, another demon. So you have two choices. One, if you want to stay in the human world then you have to join the team. You would help us on cases and assignments and train your energy. Two, live in demon world. You would train for a bit so you can survive, then go."

"You have to fucking kidding me!"

"Nope, sorry, Koemna said he would give you until the end of your training for you to decide."

"How generous of him," she said bitterly.

"Yea, I know what you mean. Do you want to meet the rest of the team, or not. You have to meet Botan though," and when Yusuke said this, she appeared out of the trees, "But whether you meet Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara is your own choice."

"Hi, I'm Botan, cheerful messenger of the spirit world and assistant to Yusuke Urameshi," Botan said cheerfully.

"Hi, Kanna said unsure about her cheerfulness, then added, "You flew by the classroom today. No one else seemed to see or notice you though."

"Yes, normal humans can't see me, unless I want them to," still very cheerful.

Yusuke laughed and said to Botan, "You forgot one of your occupations," then turned to Kanna and told her, "She's also the Grim Reaper."

"No way! She's not grim at all."

"When she came to talk to me the first time, to tell me I was dead, the first thing she said was 'Ding, Ding, Ding.'"

Kanna laughed, "I think that occupation should be renamed. That's anything but grim, opposite to be exact."

"That's what I told her."

"Stop it, Yusuke. And now, to get back on track, Kanna, it's very nice to meet you but we have to get down to business. Kanna would you like to meet the others? And Koemna needs to know as soon as possible."

"Fine, the way I see it, my mom wanted me to live here. She's the only person that I love in my family; I won't let her death be for nothing. I'm staying here, so that means I have to help you guys. I already know Kuwabara from school, but yea, I'll meet the others."

"Great! I'll go get Kurama and Hiei, be right back."

"Welcome to the team, Kanna," Yusuke said shaking her hand.

"Thanks."

The silence was awkward, and Kanna stood almost self consciously. Yusuke had to talk to her about one more thing but he wasn't sure how to bring it up. Yusuke took a deep breath and started.

"Look, Kanna, I know about your home situation."

"What are talking about?" she laughed.

"I'm sorry, Kanna. If you want we can find you somewhere else to live or stay. You can even stay with me if you like. Living in that situation must be hard; I know I wouldn't want to stay there if I had somewhere else to go offered to me. And if you don't want to stay with me, I'm sure someone else will talk you in."

"Yusuke, you don't know what the hell you are talking about so just drop it."

"Fine, if you don't want to me about it, but you should at least talk to Botan about it."

"What ever and it's none of your business any way."

"A touchy subject, is it?

"No shit, Sherlock! How the hell did you find out any way!"

"Koemna can find out about anything he wants, well most of the time."

"Well, tell Koemna to keep his fucking nose the hell out of other people's business!"

"Fighting already, Yusuke, Kanna?" A new voice said.

Kanna spun around to get a better view of the stranger.
