Surprisingly, the portal had dropped Anei and the others in her old house. Anei smiled, despite the tainted memories she had to suffer here.

"DA-AD!" she called out, cupping her hands around her mouth to increase the sound. "MR. TANIZAWA, YOUR DAUGHTER IS HERE!"

Her smile disappeared as she continued walking downstairs, the gang waiting in the living room. Yusuke followed as they heard her bound up the stairs, taking two at a time. "Yusuke, I can't find him anywhere!" she cried, running out of her father's room.

Her eyes traveled over to the stairway when an unfamiliar red-head was walking up them.

"Anei, I think this is where your father went," he said, handing her a paper in his hand. She took it.

Anei stared at him, a why-haven't-I-ever-seen-this-boy-and-why-is-he-in-my-house look on her face.

"Oh! Anei, um, meet Shuichi Minamino, but you can call him Kurama," Yusuke said, reading the look on the confused girl's face.
She suddenly smiled, holding out her free hand towards Kurama. "Hello, Kurama! I am Tanizawa Anei!" she announced.
Kurama took her hand and smiled warmly, chuckling a bit. "Nice to meet you, Anei."

They released hands as Anei looked down at the paper that he had given her, her face going instantly to a frown. She noticed it was yellowed at the edges, like it had been sitting somewhere for a long time. She furrowed her brow as she continued reading.

Dear Anei,
If you ever want to find me, I'll be in Demon World, with the Ookami Clan. Contact Shidousha before you come. There have been some strange things going on concerning you and the Kage.
Love, Daifu

"What're the 'Kage'?" Yusuke asked, reading the note over her shoulder, though Anei waved her hand, telling him to not worry about it.

"Where'd you find this Kurama?" she asked. Heading downstairs,

Kurama replied from behind her, "Hiei found it on the kitchen counter."

"Who's Hiei?" she asked Kurama, turning into the living room.

Turning around at the mention of his name, Hiei faced Kurama, Yusuke, and Anei. Anei glanced at him, then did a double-take. She stopped and Kurama stopped, looking at her oddly. Anei was staring at Hiei in shock, pointing at him, shaking a bit.

"You...you're the...the boy I-I punched...i-in the junk-junk yard..." she stuttered.

"Anei, what're you talking about?" Yusuke asked, hearing her voice and turning around.

"When I ran away, he was at the junkyard sneaking up on me and I punched him, and then I ran into Urufu and--"

"And you killed him," Hiei replied, remembering the powerful attack she used. 'Bikou Shikyo', or 'Shadow's Death' he recalled.

"HIEI! YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS THE WHOLE TIME?" Yusuke roared. Koenma told him he saw it, but the prince didn't say he was there for the whole thing.

Hiei crossed his arms and nodded, closing his eyes. "Yes." He wondered how anyone could be so stupid. When Koenma had mentioned that he saw her kill Urufu, it obviously mean that he was there for the whole thing.

"And you never told me why--"

"You never asked," Hiei quipped.

Someone cleared their throat and Hiei and Yusuke turned to face Anei. She was red in the face and trembling with rage.

Damn, I forgot how deadly she looked when she was angry...Kuwabara thought, pretty frightened.

"You knew all along why I killed him and yet you still let Koenma put me in jail?" she said. Her voice didn't crack but it was full with anger.

"I never knew what he meant by saying it. You expect me to testify when I do not know the meaning of his words?" He knew he shouldn't of, but he got her even angrier by the look on her face. She clenched her jaw tightly, and narrowed her eyes even further.

A black aura formed around her body, and everyone noticed this, but not Anei. She was oblivious to everyone besides Hiei. Her hair started floating up, and turning silver, purple at the ends of the bangs.

"You LIAR!" she screamed. She started transforming once again.
Hiei witnessed her transformation for the second time, and was pretty impressed. The last time she transformed, her aura was pretty weak. Now, her strength had almost tripled.

The room was swallowed in darkness and all Hiei's gaze focused on was Anei.

0o; um...so much for that jail time, huh?
