Two men stood on top of a roof next to a house glowing with energy.

The older one had his slanted lavender eyes closed, sensing the energy inside the tall building, his long, white hair billowing in the wind. The younger one stood impatiently, blowing his short black hair out of his red eyes. The older brother opened his eyes.

"It's her. There's no way it can't be. I can sense his energy inside of her, growing deeper as we speak."

"Yeah. I can sense it, too. It's kinda weird though. I can also sense the wolf inside her as well. Gives me a furry feeling just to sense it." The young one looked at his brother and shuddered, sticking his tongue out.

"She seems hurt, too. I can sense the hole in her heart where her mother used to be."

"True. I feel her whole heart thawing out thanks to this Urameshi character. Can you believe I'll be related to that bastard?"

"I can. It's not really that bad, though. You'll be only barely related to him. After all, Sayaka was our second aunt. Besides, we know about his future. He will be dead soon enough."

"And this time, you aren't having all the glory. I'm killing him, whether you like it or not. You got to kill Sayaka, and I want this guy, understand?"

"Of course. I would never like to steal all of the glory from my little brother. Just a little bit of it."

"Hey!"

His brother did not smile at the retort, only crossed his arms. His brother sighed.

"I have a question."

"Yes?"

"Do you think she'll still like me?"

There was a silent pause from his brother.

"Well?"

He continued ignoring him.

"Hello! Is anyone in there?" He rapped on his brother's head. "I'd like you to answer my question now!"

"Let's go inside. Fuzen wants his daughter right away. And he doesn't want to wait, you know that, Totei." He had on a long white trench coat with a loose belt around his waist, and a scarf wrapped around his neck. A black turtle-neck tank top was under the coat, along with tan pants and two black belts buckled around them. His pants were tucked into his black high lace-up boots and his hair was in a very loose ponytail.

A loud sigh escaped the younger one's lips. "Alright, alright, Teishi, but let's make this quick. I haven't seen her forever and I want to get to know her again, before Fuzen does anything with her," the younger one replied. His black trench coat whipped around his bare chest. His whole attire was black, except white gloves, and his black pants were also tucked into black high lace-up boots. They both each had a sword at their hip.

The older one rolled his eyes while he and his brother jumped to the roof. The energy was stronger, and they both closed their eyes and disappeared.


Inside, Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Keiko, and Botan all stared at her (Anei) with wide eyes. She was on her knees, trembling.

"Yusuke, what's wrong with her?" Keiko questioned, a lone tear rolling down her cheek. Yusuke wiped it away.

His mind was racing, trying to find a solution to make the pain go away for Anei. He could tell she was hurting, but from what, he didn't know. He suddenly came up with an idea that deserved a lit up light-bulb over his head.

Yusuke brought his gaze up to Kurama, who was staring at Anei intently, no doubt curious to what was making Anei the way she was. Knowing Hiei didn't want to talk to Anei at all at the moment, Kurama was his best bet.

"Kurama! Try to talk to Anei telepathically!" Yusuke cried.

Kurama stared at him for a second, then, with a determined glint in his eye, he nodded. The kitsune removed his hand from Anei's shoulder, and stared at her.

Suddenly, Kurama winced and stumbled. He panted heavily, holding his head.

"Are you alright, Kurama?" Botan asked, concerned.

"There's another power...I don't think it's hers...and it didn't want me in there"

"Can you try again?" Keiko and Yusuke asked simultaneously.

Kurama nodded meekly. "I can try." The red-head stared at Anei again, concentrating hard. He bit a little part of his lip and furrowed his brow.
It seemed like he was traveling through a house of electricity.

Everywhere, bolts of energy were jumping out and hitting him mentally. Concentrating hard, he reached a door, and opened it...

Meanwhile, in Anei's Head...

Anei! Anei, can you hear me? It's me, Kurama. What's wrong?

A voice, not Anei's own, answered.

"Stay out of this, fox demon. this is none of your concern." The voice was deep, and it echoed throughout Anei's head.

I will NOT leave. Kurama argued.

"Leave or perish!" The unknown power started to grow, as well as Kurama's presence.

The pain in the shadow demon's body grew immensely, causing her to scream in agony.

All of the power that was in her fragile body overwhelmed her, and she fell unconscious, glad to be out of the torture she had just suffered.
