Chapter 16:

"Ah," A dark, shadowy figure said, looking through some files on the computer. Lee's picture shows up. "There she is!" He calls. Something breaks and foot steps follow. Another dark, shadowy figure shows up into the room.

"You found her?"

"Ailias!" Lee said, kicking the lump in the bed know as Ailias. "Cmon! Cmon! WAKE UP! NOW! Cmon Ailias!"

"Aw, imouto…" Ailias says groggily. She grabs a clock beside the bed. It reads, 'Ungodly Hour.' "It's too early…"

"Who cares if it's early? Do you know what today is?" Ailias put a finger up to her chin in ponder. She feels a chilling breeze, and then it comes to her.

"Christmas?" Ailias tries.

"NO!" Lee plops down on the floor, pouting. "I can't believe you forgot… again." Ailias slides out of the covers and walks over to the calendar on the den wall. Today's date, May 16th . Wait a minute… it's coming to her… brain goes buzz, buzz. AW! GOT IT!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE!" Lee looks up with glee.

"Happy Birthday, Ailias!" Lee says, hugging Ailias's waist. Hiei and Kurama stand at the entrance of their den, very confused.

"Birthday?" Kurama questions. Both Ailias and Lee jump onto the ceiling. They realize who it is that is at the door and slightly calm down, still on the ceiling.

"Are you a ninja or something fox boy?" Ailias says in mock fury.

"Or something… um, it's your Birthday? Both of you?" Lee falls from the ceiling, but lands on her… not feet as she is no feline. She dusts her self off. (Heh, no carpet.)

"Today's the anniversary of the day that we became a family!" Lee says with glee. Ailias jumps down, also landing on her feet as she is feline.

"Exactly 40 years ago today, I found Lee out in the woods all alone." Ailias says, putting her hand on the tiny girl's head.

"Exactly 40 years and week ago, my parents left me… for who knows why." Lee sulks. Ailias picks her up by the waist and places Lee on her shoulder.

"Chocolate Chip Pancakes?"

"Chocolate Chip Pancakes!" Kurama and Hiei do a sweat droplet. Kurama looks at Hiei.

"Sounds familiar."

"No, she said they left. I was thrown off a cliff." Hiei corrected, then sat at the table to have himself some chocolate chip pancakes.

Yusuke sits at his kitchen table. Why? I don't know. He just is. A vase falls off the shelf and he catches it. Then, he drops it and a smirk appears over his features.

"HOLY HELL THAT FROZE OVER, MELTED THEN FROZE OVER AGAIN!" Koenma yells oh so enthusiastically. A man and a woman stare at him with purple pin-head eyes. "YOU'RE LEE'S—"

"Yes," The woman said with beautiful, lavender eyes.

"Parents…" Kurama walks into Koenma's office with Hiei who has chocolate covering the rim of his mouth.

"Uh… Koenma, I can explain why—" Kurama started.

"I don't care about Hiei on a sugar high!" Koenma interrupts.

"You should…"
"Get Lee."

"She's celebrating with Ailias."

"Celebrating what?" Koenma's getting annoyed. Any minute now, Hiei'll start jumping around the room, ignoring all threats of any sort, ignoring all insults about his height, and chopping up random things even if they won't bleed. After a while, he'll put on a too-too and sing on top off Koenma's desk.

"It's been 40 years since Ailias and Lee first met. They're having a little party."

"How big is their little?"

"Uh… they took over the nearest CVS store and started throwing tooth paste around after they ate about 5 thousand chocolate chip pancakes. Hiei helped in the pancake department."

"Him and his chocolate… Well, go find them!" The man and the woman stand up.

"Who is this 'Ailias'?" the man questions.

"Lee's sister… sort of." Kurama answers the best way he can. "Ailias has taken care of Lee for the past 40 years."

"We'll go with you… Mr…" The woman tried.

"Kurama. Call me Kurama. I'm part of the Rekai Tantei."

"The smart one of the group," Koenma states. "Hiei is the brute, along with reckless. Yusuke is also reckless, but clueless or just idiotic. Kuwabara… he has spirit but he's just… an air-headed nit-wit. Hiei has named him Kuwabaka. Ailias is… also intelligent, though she likes to torture her enemies, and play pranks… And she does enjoy the occasional murder spree. Lee, your daughter is quite the… playful one. She's cute which makes her enemies underestimate her. She hates that, so she kills them right on the spot sometimes. She and Ailias used to torture the guys… stringing Hiei up to ceiling fans… yeah…" Kurama is now in a trance. Did he say, daughter?

"Lee is apart of the Rekai Tantei?" Lee's mother asks, amazed.

"Yes, but it was her punishment for killing millions. Ailias too. Kurama and Hiei were also brought into the group as punishment. They both stole items form the Spirit Vault."

"Who knew the good guys were such criminals?" Lee's father said in disbelief.

"Actually, Kuwabara and Yusuke are criminals too. Just, not as bad as the other four. They're just some common thugs." The two parents' eyes go blank.

"How about we find Lee…" Kurama snaps out of his trance.

"Lee is your… daughter?" Kurama asks.

"Yes."
