Chapter 3: Missing Files and Past's Questions

A/n: For all legal purposes I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. I keep forgetting the disclaimer so for the last chapter and all future chapters, I forget I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho.

Recap:

"It will only take a second for me to warm this up." she smoothly points out, hoping not to have to leave the comfort of the cave. Two pointed ears droop slightly, as they walk out into the water polluted atmosphere.

The teen boys devour the fried rice, as the group proceeds to the forest clearing. Siruki's knot came out. The mud and twigs wash out of her hair that lightly falls down to her waist. Hiei and Kurama stand to each side of her. Botan walks in the lead directing the group to the portals opening.

The cursed rain continues to corrupt the already soaked earth. Mod splatters on the end of Siruki's coat. The steady rhythm of the group's procession continues down the paved sidewalk.

Hey Fox, do you get an odd feeling from the girl? Hiei continues to look forward on the path.

Other then her exceptional hospitality to her supposed enemy? And her occasional glare at the ski, but not to anything else? No. Kurama responds some what sarcastically.

She hasn't even attempted to flee. The detective could have handled this on his own. I don't see why I'm here.

I must admit this is a very odd case. She gave up with out a fight, and even made Yusuke and Kuwabara dinner. In truth I don't see why I'm here either. I wage even Kuwabara could have handled this on his own.

Hn.

Maybe you should attempt to read her mind?

I've already tried that I can't get through her block, and besides this boredom is giving me a headache.

As they walk down the next path, Siruki, the girl in question's mind wanders to last night dream. I've had it before, that strange dream. In fact every time it rains like this. But why? It doesn't make any sense. I have to find out why. I have to find it. I have to find the…

Her thoughts are cut off by Botan's sudden chirp, "We're here!"

"Great, can we get out of the rain already?" Siruki growls, quiet annoyed by the rude interruption of her thoughts.

"Oh, yes of course." Botan says a little startled by Siruki's sudden out burst.

In Koenma's office, several large stacks of paperwork sit in front of the Jr. Deity of Death himself, sporting his illusionary teen form.

"Koenma-sama we've come with the demon." Botan bursts glittering as always.

"Aw yes, the elusive demon from the cave." Koenma says pushing aside one of the large stacks of paper that seem to permanently reside on his desk. "So what is your name and why have you come here?"

"My name is Siruki, and I was escorted here by your detectives as per your order, Sir." She responds formally and without emotion.

Koenma looks through a few files, "Siruki is that with a C or S?" he mumbles to himself throwing several large manila folders over his shoulder, "Where is that file?"

"It's spelled with an S." she offhandedly responds.

More folders fly, and a rather frustrated look comes over Koenma's face, "Ogre! Get in here."

"What's wrong baby lost his battle?" Yusuke says in a mocking baby voice, "It's okay."

"Yusuke, I'm in no mood for your attitude right now." Koenma scowls, "Ogre where are you?"

"Right here Koenma-sama." a large blue ogre says bowing his head.

"Why don't you answer me when I call you!"

"You said you didn't want to hear my voice." the ogre shrinks into a small ball as Koenma throws several large objects at him."

"ANSWER ME WHEN I CALL YOU NEXT TIME!"

"Yes, Koenma-sama. I very sorry it won't happen again."

"See that it doesn't." Koenma takes a deep breath, "Alright where is the file?"

"What file Koenma-sama?"

"WHAT FILE!" Koenma's voice once again rises in frustration, "The file that YOU MISS PLACED on MY DESK."

"I don't know what file you are talking about Koenma-sama." the ogre looks like a small blue ball, and almost in tears.

Several more large objects are thrown at the poor ogre as Koenma continues to rampage about a missing file. Siruki has a puzzled look on her face do to the strange out bursts. She watches as a bulky paperweight hits the ogre on the back of the head, casing a rather oversized swell.

Yusuke and Kuwabara roll on the ground laughing. They only stop to tack a hard intake of breath, or to say something to each other about the ogre's misfortune. Yusuke's face is all most blue from the lack of oxygen.

Kurama and Hiei take a more dignified approach to the situation. Kurama stands silent with his hands behind his back, waiting for the ordeal to end. While Hiei, finds a nice corner to catch up on some much deserved rest.

Botan being one of the most experienced of all, when it came to Koenma's little out bursts quietly and discreetly snuck out of the room to talk with one of her fellow employees. She carefully marks the time, and figures on sinking back in, close to the end of the tantrum.

"So where is it, you nincompoop?" Koenma shouts once again.

"Do you mean the file you were looking for earlier?" the ogre tries to appease his boss's temper with a guess.

"Now are you saying I lost it?" Koenma responds as if it's the most preposterous thing he has ever heard.

"No, Koenma-sama I would never say such a thing, but…"

"Then WHY did YOU just say I lost it?"

"No, no Koenma-sama I said no such thing, but I do…"

"Oh so now your calling ME a LIAR."

"No Koenma-sama I was just…"

"You we're just what?"

"I didn't mean to call you a liar Koenma-sama, but I…"

"Aw-hum, I KNOW IT YOU DID CALL ME A LIAR!"

"No Koenma-sama I didn't, I mean I am very very sorry and I'll never do it again, but I do have…"

"You're sorry, YOU'RE SORRY AFTER ALL THE GRIEF YOU'VE JUST PUT ME THROW YOU'RE SORRY!"

"Yes, Koenma-sama," the ogre is now the size of a midget ant.

"Well all right then," Koenma shrugs his shoulders and seems rather calm for almost killing one of his most loyal employees. Botan quietly snicks back into the room, and Hiei stretches awake from his nap.

The ogre slowly comes out of his fear induced ball, "Um Koenma-sama I have that file you were searching for."

Silence and twitching eyes over come the large room.

"You… You…Ogre, you mean to tell me that YOU HAD THE FILE ALL THIS TIME!"

"Yes, Koenma-sama." and in a small voice he adds, "And my name is George."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST WASTED ALL MY TIME AND YOU HAD THE FILE THE WHOLE TIME!"

"But I…"

"You must be the most incompetent person I have ever known."

"But I tried…"

"Who hired you? They should be shot, before their stupidity spreads."

"But you hired me Koen…"

"So, now you're calling me stupid! Get out of my sight." Koenma points to the large door, and George runs as fast as he can to escape.

"Um Koenma-sama?" Botan quietly asks.

"Yes, Botan?" Koenma says in a calm even voice.

"I think George just ran out with the file still in his hand."

All of the color drains form Koenma's face and is quickly replaced by a deep shade of red, "That baka ogre, I don't think we'll see him for a while."

"Koenma-sama, I snatched the file when he ran by." Siruki holds out the thin manila folder.

"Aw yes, at last." Koenma calmly takes the folder and sits behind his large desk, "Now let's get down to business." He opens the folder and flips through the few pages in it. "Well there doesn't seem to be much in this thing." He sighs, "What are you doing here? Siruki was it?"

"Yes my name is Siruki, and I was brought here, to the Reikai, by your detectives form a cave in the Ningenkai." She calmly restates.

"And why are you here?" Koenma takes a few notes down in the file.

"Because you ordered that I be brought here." She responds seriously.

"No why are you here?" Koenma responds irritated.

"Because you had your detectives: Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and Botan; bring me here." Siruki says again.

"Why…are…you…here?"

"I am here in the Reikai because you ordered your detectives to bring me here. So if you have nothing more for me I would very much like to go back to my cave now." She stifles a yawn.

Koenma smiles and lightly laughs, "Haha, I mean why were you in the Ningenkai."

"Oh yes, I was there to look for something, but ended up stuck in a cave." Siruki suddenly looks very tired, "Please if I may I would like to go back to the cave."

"What were you looking for?"

"A jewel known as the Devil's Storm," her eyes drift closed.

"Why are you looking for that curst thing in the Ningenkai?" Koenma suddenly becomes very serious.

"Wait, what is the Devil's Storm?" Yusuke asks, he and Kuwabara have long since settled down.

"Yeah, what can be so curst about a jewel?" Kuwabara adds.

"You humans really are uneducated, aren't you?" Hiei scoffs form his corner.

"What Hiei means to say is that the Devil's Storm is no ordinary jewel. It is coursed so that its owner will reap tribal consequences. It destroys villages killing all of the inhabitance in a sea of blood. It was created by a drop of the Devil's blood, and so it demands a blood sacrifice form its owner. Very little is actually known about it because anyone that has ever gotten close to it has died." Kurama explains.

"So the question is who in their right mine would ever seek that thing out." Hiei adds.

"Yes, why are you looking for the Devil's Storm?" Koenma asks Siruki.

"I don't really know myself, but it's the only thing I can remember. That is beside my name." she answers with out opening her eyes, "May I please go now? If you're going to lock me up for sneaking into the Ningenkai, then please do it already. I'm very tired." With that she sits cross-lagged on the floor and quietly sleeps.

"So what are we going to do with sleepy head?" Yusuke says pointing at Siruki who resembles a perching owl.

"Koenma before you pass judgment, I think you should know that she saved Kuwabara's life earlier." Kurama points out.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot Dodo-head here feel into a drainage pip, and Siruki pulled him out." Yusuke says and starts to laugh about it.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THAT!" Kuwabara yells running up to Koenma's desk, "Koenma-sama please don't send Siruki to jail. If you do I will go in her place because I owe her my life and it's the only honorable thing to do."

"Oh and she feed us dinner, so that means Kuwabara has to go for two prison terms to make it up to Siruki." Yusuke adds grinning form ear to ear.

"You know Yusuke, using that logic it seems you have to go to jail as well." Kurama quickly points out.

Yusuke's smile wavers for a second before he concludes, "No because unlike Kuwabara here, I don't have an Honor Code." He says smugly.

"Hn, Koenma what are you going to do with the girl?" Hiei says getting back to the point.

A/N: I'm so sorry to leave you with a cliff hanger, but at lest I made this chapter extra long. In fact this is the longest chapter I've written thus far. So there is your first big hint to Siruki's past.

And if I forgot to mention earlier, I don't own Siruki's name, but I kind of own the rest of her. My friend Heerofluff3232 named her because my brain is mush when it comes to naming my OCs. So if you want to use the name for your own fanfic you got to take it up with her. Just get in touch with me and I'll ask her for you.

HieiFan666: So I guess now you know a little more about why Siruki hates the rain. It is actually quiet significant and I'm glad you picked up on it.

TeikaiAnshou114: I'm sorry it took me so long to up-date; things have been really hectic the last few weeks. I can't believe it's been almost three weeks. I hope you enjoyed the longer chapter.

Syaoran 03: Thank you for saying I'm talented, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. It brings me smiles to read such a nice review. And I wrote a much longer chapter this time.

EternalMidnight: I hope I established the plot a little clearer. It is hard to set the flow of the story with out just right out telling the reader exactly what is going on. All I can say is that things will became clearer over time.
