AN: Hey I'm back if your wondering why it took me so long to update its because I didn't get the asked amount of review, but I decided to post this anyway. This is probably my most random chapter and it actually came because I got a review about three days ago which made me feel guilty about not updating, but here the chapter is so read on.
Disclaimer: I think this is common sense that I don't own this because if I did I would have put my own ideas out already and would have made a lot of money, but to avoid being sued (by who I don't even know, but whatever) I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of its characters.

Previously:
"Say what you have to say I don't like it when people waste my time." "Well" he said pulling at the collar of his shirt "you are what demons call the Black Rose"
Hiei and Kurama's jaws dropped "are you sure Koenma" Kurama managed to say. "Yes she is the Black Rose we know it for sure.

Chapter 8: The Black What?
Kurama was about to speak when he was quickly interrupted by Yuske who yelled "A black whoda whada" he said clearly confused. "The Black Rose" Koenma clarified.
"The Black Rose is thought to be one of the deadliest demons to have ever existed" Kurama explained, "the story goes that there was once a demoness who was the best assassin in all of Makai and that if you were on her hit list you were doomed to die. This demoness continued her work for about a hundred years, and then on one of her routine missions, she met someone and wouldn't kill him for some reason. Supposedly she fell in love and vowed never to kill again. All of the evilness that had once lived in her just sort of disappeared as her love for him grew, but little did she know it was a trap. She was murdered by her lover and vowed revenge on him, and promised to come back one day to finish her work." Kurama said finishing the story.
Kuwabara looked confused for a minute than said "you mean she's supposed to be a deadly assassin, him and Yuske then busted up laughing."
Joey took a step closer to them and glared at them with blazing violet eyes "find something funny" she said sarcastically. Kuwabara out of fear shut his mouth and just looked at her.
Yuske on the other hand decided to be smart "is that look supposed to scare us." "It worked quite well on you buddy there" she said looking towards Kuwabara. Koenma sensing the tension quickly looked at her "well Kurama got most of the story right, there are a couple of other things though."
"What" asked Kurama wondering what he hadn't covered? "Well she is the reincarnation of The Black Rose, but she also has a bit of light demon in her." "Koenma" said Kurama looking intently at the ruler of spirit world "isn't that a forbidden combination." At the mention of forbidden Hiei's eyes flickered angrily, but it quickly left. "Yes it is Kurama, and it is made worse by the fact that she is still half human." Koenma said.
"A hanyou" Kurama said quietly while thinking to himself. "Yeah so what" Joey said finally speaking up, "that still doesn't explain why you need my help." "Joey your one of the few light demons left one of three to be exact, it is said that light demons are the keys to saving the world. Unfortunately there are a lot more darkness demons than light ones; in the near future spirit world intelligence has led us to believe that there will be attack on human world. Joey we will need your help in stopping them, without you it could mean the end of the world."
The entire spirit detective then turned to look at Joey with wide eyes; she looked surprised for a minute and then started laughing hysterically. All the boys watched as she fell to the floor from laughing so hard. After he laughing fit was over she got up and said "nice joke, now why did you really bring me here." "Joey that's the reason the fate of the world depends upon your help with this mission." Koenma said.
She looked at him again for a sec. "your not joking are you" Koenma shook his head. "I'm only fifteen how the hell am I supposed to save the world, I can hold my own in a fight, but… against demons" "that's why you'll need to be trained" Koenma answered. "Who's gonna train me." She shot back. "Well Yuske and Kurama will help you with you spirit powers, Kuwabara and Genkai will help you with you spirit awareness and psychic powers, and Hiei will help you with agility and fighting."
"Whoa hold on a sec buddy how long is this training gonna last and when does it start" she said glaring. "It will probably last about six months and you start tomorrow." "Are you willing to do this" Koenma asked her. Everyone froze waiting to hear her answer "sure whatever" she said lazily. "OK you can all go back to human world, but I need to talk with you Joey personally."
All the sprit detectives than left and used the portal to get back to human world. "Joey please have a seat" Koenma said rubbing his temples as he also sat at his desk. "Now that I know about your parents I have some bad news you will not be able to live with Kurama. When your parents died they left a protection on you that exists through you and your adopted parents for the time being the safest place for you to live will be at home. Your training will be everyday after school and well come up with an excuse to keep your parents away from you. Do you understand?"
Joey took in everything he had said and started at him for a moment before nodding her head 'I knew it was to good to be true' "Oh and Joey," Koenma said "yeah" came her reply "Kurama and Hiei are not going to remember anything you told them about your family today," he said with a hint of sadness in his voice "why should I care" was her indifferent reply. "You can go now" and with that she took the portal back to human world and went back to her hell hole of a home. Thankfully her parents were both asleep so she was able to quietly sneak in.
When Joey woke up the next morning she was dreading school, but knew she had to go anyway. She was still sore from the previous day and her encounter with the thugs, but she'd never let anyone else know that.
After School:
As soon as school ended she went to the old shrine that Koenma had told her about and climbed the zillion steps up the top. She was really tired after all that but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at her. She entered the temple and saw all the boys, and an old lady sitting around. Yuske and Kurama both got up "you'll be training with us first" Kurama informed her. She quietly followed them both out to the middle of an empty field.
Kurama and Yuske told her to close her eyes and focus on herself. She closed her eyes, but finding her center was just a tad bit harder, after about five minutes she had found herself. "Good now focus your energy into your hand, as she did so little orb appeared in her hand glowing a light silver. Joey opened her eyes and looked down at her hand and was shocked to see the energy. "Good now throw it at something" Kurama instructed. Joey held he palm out in front of her and blasted the ball at a tree, the tree and four others behind it all went down, "not bad for you first try," Kurama commented. They continued to practice like this until Kurama felt she had the basics down.
Joey's POV:
I then went to begin my training with Kuwabara and Genkai, most of the time was spent meditating, and not till the end did they have me test my abilities, which pretty much remained nonexistent. 'That worked well' I thought sarcastically. Genkai looked annoyed "you have a very long way to go slacker that was even worse than Yuske's first try." 'Well that was completely useless.
'Oh joy now its time for training with the Gothic anti-social' I let out a long sign as I saw said Goth coming towards me looking as happy as a clam (sarcasm). 'This will be fun' in return he just glared at me, sometimes it seems like he's reading my mind.
We started out with some warm up exercises and then moved to sparring. Our first sparring match went quite well, he attacked first and I was easily able to block them and threw as many punches as I could which he blocked. The second spar was not as easy he seemed to get faster now I barely had any time to throw punches. We continued up until a fifth sparring match where it was pretty much me getting hit and getting up as quick as I could.
My ribs were really starting to hurt again, but I ignored it, I've had worse what can I say. Then while I was preparing to block he slammed his fist into my stomach sending me back several feet, but that did it, I felt a stabbing pain through my stomach and doubled over trying to catch my breath, which lead to a coughing fit. This is not the first time the wind was knocked out of me, but it was the first time I started coughing up blood.
Hiei quickly came over about to yell at me for not getting up fast enough, but he was kind enough to wait until I got my breath back, but my hands were now covered in blood. I saw he was about to yell when he caught sight of my hands, and I guess he figured out where all of it came from because he mumbled "baka onna" under his breath and quickly got me back to the temple and started talking to Kurama.
While he was talking I went into another coughing fit, but I just couldn't get my breath back. I mostly remember the world starting to get hazy, hearing a gently voice talking to me, and then everything going black.
AN: Eso chaptero es finite. I'm not really sure where I'm going after this, I don't feel Joey is turning out the way I want her to be, so I may change something. Please review I'm not gonna say I need a certain number of reviews for the next chapter I just want to know what everyone thinks. So review please!
