And that's it. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Kyle: It took you long enough to finish this chapter.

DT: Hey now, I'm a rather busy person.

Kyle: Busy doing nothing. I can mention several times when you had time to write, but you didn't.

DT: Just whose side are you on anyway?

Ukyo: We're not taking anyone's side.

Kyle: Yeah I'm just saying you're letting laziness get to you again.

Ukyo: You know we could probably find a cure for that.

DT: Laziness is not a disease and I do not have a laziness problem.

Ukyo: Acceptance is the first step to recovery.

DT: Just leave me alone! No one asked for your opinion!

DT and Ukyo argue in the back ground.

Kyle: We're going to try and help DT with her problem. In the mean time go on and read the story. Oh and DT does not own anything except the plot and her characters mentioned in the previous chapter. Please review and no flames.

Ch 14 The Truth is Out

There was silence for about five minutes before anyone could say anything. It was mostly out of fear that Shampoo would unleash her unholy wrath upon them. However, they realized that there was no way Shampoo liked Kyle in that way and relaxed. Cologne cleared her throat.

"How long have you known Son-in-law?"

Yumi raised an eyebrow as did the other three demons. "What do you mean Son-in-law?"

"Kyle is going to marry Shampoo." Akane said calmly.

Yumi's eyes widened and then she glared at Kyle's sleeping form. "Could you answer my question?" Cologne asked.

Yumi tore her gaze away from Kyle and nodded. "Fine, but it's a very long story."

"Look, if it will answer my questions then we have all the time in the world." Ranma said.

Yumi sighed and took a deep breath. "Well, I guess it all started over 500 years ago….."

"WHAT!" the Nerima Wrecking Crew screamed. The demons flinched from the damage their ears just received.

"Oww, could you keep it down?" Ray said.

"Sorry, but it's……. unbelievable." Ukyo said.

"Look, I'm going to ask you all not to interrupt while I tell my story. You'll understand everything at the end and if not I will let you ask questions. Okay?"

The NWC nodded their heads. Yumi again took a deep breath and began. "Like I said, it all started over 500 years ago……"

FLASHBACK

During those times, the lands were ruled by demon lords. North, South, East, and West; each had a demon that ruled over those lands. Sesshoumaru was the Lord of the Western lands, where I used to live. He and his wife, Kagura, had twin boys. Those boys were named Lin and Shinn. Back then Lin was the name of Kyle. Not many people were happy with the demon lords and a revolt had been planned to get rid of them. I was part of the revolt because Sesshoumaru had killed my mother when I was very young. My father had wanted to join the revolt and my older brother planned to as well. My father had objected to his joining because my brother had a family of his own. He had two children, a boy and a girl. However, my brother didn't listen and joined anyway. I wasn't about to just stand aside. I wanted to help. I was given my mission: to make a detailed map of the home so it would be easier to storm. They probably gave me that task because I was just a kid and knew I would be unable to accomplish it. However, I had already come up with a way to do my mission. So, on one fateful day, I ran into Ky……Lin in my village and my plan began.

Yumi was walking around in a fairly big village. There were small shops in the middle of the village with huts surrounding them. Yumi had a basket and was heading into to the shops to get some groceries. She came up to a store with vegetables and some fruits displayed in various baskets.

"How are you doing today Yumi?" the shop lady asked her.

"I'm fine thank-you. Anything new going on today?"

"No, just the same old stuff. How is your family doing."

"They're fine. They're quite busy fixing the house after that last demon attack."

"It's a good thing that Lord Sesshoumaru's son was here to drive them out."

"Umm, yeah. It was a good thing." Yumi said rather uncomfortable. Not that the shop lady noticed. Yumi noticed a teenage boy running past her with a gun. Some men were running to catch up.

Back then, guns had started to take place of swords as weapons. The demon lords had become aware of this. It was dangerous to have a gun because if a demon lord knew you possessed them, he would kill you on the spot.

"Stop! You don't know what your doing! You're going to be killed if you're caught!"

The boy stopped and aimed the gun at something. "No! That bastard is going down!"

Several men tackled him to the ground before he could shoot off the gun. They yanked the gun out of his hands and dragged him away to a nearby hut. Yumi watched silently as the boy was dragged away kicking and screaming.

"Could you watch my basket for me? I'll be right back."

"Of course Yumi."

She walked to were the boy had been standing. Her eyes widened. She saw a boy with long black hair with light blue streaks. He had a red crescent moon in the middle of his forehead. Yumi knew who this boy was, it was Lin and he was walking towards the village. She returned to the store and paid for her things. She hurried home and left her groceries near the hut door. Then ran back towards Lin. She knew that Lin would often visit Rin, Sesshoumaru's adopted daughter. She had a family in the village and was also a priestess. That's why their village was very safe. She followed him to Rin's hut and waited until Lin got out. Then she followed him as he walked away. Yumi knew that he probably could sense her following him, but she still did it anyway. Several times he took detours and even tried to loose her in the village center. Finally he seemed to get irritated and ran. Yumi however was very persistent and found him outside the village under a tree. She carefully walked towards him. He sat up and just watched her.

"Why do you keep following me?"

Yumi smiled. "I just wanted to talk."

"Do you realize who I am?"

"Yes, I know who you are, but I thought we could be friends."

Lin looked at her confused. He tilted his head to one side. "Friends?"

Yumi giggled. "You look cute when you're confused."

Lin blushed. "Umm, er…."

"My names Yumi. Do you want to be friends?"

"Sure, I guess."

"Aren't you going tell me your name?"

"I thought you said you knew who I was."

"I do, but that doesn't mean I know your name." she said with smile.

"Fine, my name is Lin."

After that day, we began to see each other a lot more often. Then before you knew it, he asked me to be his girlfriend. I accepted knowing that he would have to take me to his home sometime. The day came sooner than I expected. I was really nervous to meet his family, especially his father.

Lin ran with Yumi in his arms. As soon as they reached his houses, he put her down. As they walked up to the gate, it opened. Yumi gasped at the size of Lin's home. It was a giant mansion with a beautiful garden. There were trees and many type of flowers. Yumi just had to smell one of the roses. Lin chuckled at her actions. Yumi pouted and put her hands on her hips.

"What's so funny?"

Lin just waved it off. "Nothing, don't worry about it. Now come on, my dad doesn't like to wait."

Yumi nodded and latched on to his arm. They walked into the mansion and down several halls. Yumi was amazed at the size of the house. She was glad that Lin was with her, otherwise she would have gotten lost. Finally they stopped at a huge oak door that had some strange designs. Lin took a deep breath and knocked.

"Enter."

Yumi assumed that it was Sesshoumaru. Lin opened the door and stepped in with Yumi.

I had never been so scared in my entire life. I knew that if I blew this, our whole plan was ruined, but as the time passed I got less worried. His father seem to accept our relationship, but you could tell he was still not very happy about the whole thing. His mother, Kagura, didn't have a problem with it. She didn't seem to mind that I was human for some reason. However, I learned that the one I needed to look out for was Lin's brother, Shinn. From the moment we met, I could tell he didn't trust me. He would always give me this dirty look. It caused Lin and Shinn to fight a lot after I started to visit more often.

Yumi had memorized most of the lay out of the mansion. She was going to make a map, but needed to make a quick run through. So, she was walking in the west wing of the home where the bedrooms were located.

"What are you doing?" said a smooth and silky voice. Yumi turned around in surprise. She came face to face with Shinn. She carefully began to back away from him. Shinn was at least a head taller than her just like his brother. Although they were twins, they had noticeable differences. For one Shinn's hair was a pale blue just like his father, but with black streaks in it. Also his eyes were red instead of golden yellow. The markings he had were also different. His crescent moon was black and so were the slash marks on his cheek and wrists.

"Nothing, I'm just walking around." she said while she backed away.

Shinn walked towards her. "Really? You walk around our home a lot. If I didn't know any better I'd say you were memorizing where everything is."

Yumi backed into a wall. "Of course I need to memorize where everything is. Lin isn't always going to be able to lead me around your house."

Shinn stopped in front of Yumi. He stared into her eyes. "I don't trust you. You're up to something and I want to know what it is. Now!"

Yumi wasn't sure what to do. This could be it for her.

"Leave her alone Shinn!"

Shinn turned around and stared at his brother with an annoyed face. Lin walked up to him and glared. Shinn gladly returned the glare.

"Stop bothering her."

"Humph. Why should I?"

"Because I said so."

"That's not good enough."

"If you don't leave her alone I'll……"

"You'll what?" Shinn growled. "You'll fight me? Your own bother?"

Lin didn't say anything. Shinn grunted and began to walk away. He stopped and turned around. "Are you really so blind as to what she's been doing? She's been sneaking around our home for the last couple of weeks and you expect me not to get suspicious?"

"She hasn't been sneaking around. She's just learning her way around the mansion. I can't always help her find her way."

Shinn snorted. "She's changed you. That human bi……"

Shinn didn't finish because Lin punched his face. "Don't call her that. Next time you do you'll have more than a black eye." he said with a growl.

"If something happens, I'm blaming you. I'll blame you until the day I give my last breath." With that Shinn stalked off to the other side of the mansion. Lin turned to Yumi and smile.

"You okay?"

Yumi nodded. "Good." Lin then leaned in and kissed her.

I couldn't help but feel different after that. He was always protecting me and he was always so sweet. I couldn't help but fall in love with him too. This made my job a lot harder to do. I knew that the map was needed so it would be easier to storm the mansion, but I found myself unable to give it to them. So I stalled for several more weeks before I finally was forced to hand it over. I felt horrible, knowing what was going to happen to them. So, on the day of the attack I went early to the mansion and got Lin to leave with me. While we walked I told him that I loved him. I wanted us to run away. However, I think he could sense something was wrong and he convinced me to head back to the village. When we arrived, it was on fire. Lin hurried to Rin's hut and found her and her family safely outside. Then we went to see if my family was okay…….when we got there, Shinn was standing in front of my family with his sword drawn. My brother had his arms wrapped around his wife and kids, while my father stood in front of them with his sword drawn. His gun laid in pieces on the ground beside him.

Shinn stalked towards Yumi's father. His eyes full of furry. Shinn's eyes had changed. Instead of red, his eyes had turned golden yellow with a red glow surrounding his pupils. He raised the sword over his head, ready to strike down the man before him.

"You bastards did this. You and that daughter of yours. I'll make you pay with your lives!" Shinn snarled as he brought the sword down. However, something knocked him away. Shinn, stood up and glared at the person responsible. It was his own brother. Shinn began to stand up. As he dusted himself he laughed manically.

"So you showed up. Here I though you ran off with your human wench. Where is she anyway?"

Shinn looked past his brother and spotted Yumi. He smirked evilly. "I was going to kill her family fist, but since she's here, I might as well start off with her!"

Shinn charged wildly at Yumi. He wasn't even bothering to consider Lin. Shinn leaped over his brother. He brought his sword over his head as he descended upon Yumi. Lin quickly ran to Yumi and got her out of her way. Shinn hit the ground where Yumi had been. Dirt and rocks were kicked up. Lin used his body to protect Yumi from the rocks. As the dust cleared, Lin saw the damage Shinn's attacked caused. A crater was had been formed. Shinn climbed out of if calmly.

"I will make her pay. This entire village will feel my wrath." he growled.

"No!" Lin screamed as he drew his sword. He stood in front of Yumi. "Stop it! You didn't have to do this!"

Shinn looked angrily at his brother. "They betrayed us and our parents! Yet you protect them! You still protect her kind!" he screamed as he pointed his sword at Yumi.

"If you would just listen for a se..."

"NO! They will pay for what they did!"

"Run!" Lin told Yumi. He then turned to Shinn and they lunged at each other with their swords. While Lin fought with Shinn, she went to her family. Together they made their way out of the burning village. She took one last glance at the fighting brothers. Their swords clanged against one another as the village around them burned, just like the anger that Shinn felt.

Yumi and her family waited with the rest of the villagers on a hill near the village. As they watched their homes burn, they prayed that a miracle would happen. Their prayers were answered in the form of rain. It cascaded from the heavens and took out the flames. Rin bowed her head and began to walk back to the village. The others were afraid to go because Shinn and Lin had been fighting, but there seemed to be no signs that a battle was going on. So the villagers reluctantly followed. When they arrived at the battle site, they found the warriors. Both laid on the ground…….motionless. Rin went to Shinn and Yumi ran to Lin. His clothes were bloody and torn. There was a long cut on his shoulder running down to his hip. Yumi cried, tears mingled with Lin's blood. Rin carried Shinn towards Yumi and laid Shinn next to Lin. Yumi stroked Lin's hair and continued to cry.

"I'm sorry." she whispered to him.

"I hope he was able to hear you." Rin said solemnly.

She and a man with midnight black hair then carried Lin and Shinn away. They left Yumi with her sorrow as they disappeared in the curtain of rain.

End Flashback

"And that was the last time I saw him. Not long after that I left the village. I just couldn't live there peacefully. People no longer looked at me the same. Most of the people lived there had been happy with the way things were. There had been rumors going around that they were going to start rounding up the people involved in the revolt and punish them. Most of the them left before they were caught, however I remained with my family. I tried to get Rin to teach me to be a priestess, but she refused. One day, my family and I left and I went to find someone to teach me. I found a teacher, found a prophecy involving Lin, turned into a demon, found some friends, and here I am now. Is that what you wanted to hear?"

The Nerima Wrecking Crew sat silently. It took them a bit to be able to absorb all this information about their friend. Cologne hopped to Yumi and looked her in the eye.

"Will you release Son-in law?"

Yumi seemed to get angry, but calmed herself. "No." she said firmly. Cologne sighed and hopped over to Ranma.

"It looks like you better call Botan. We are going to need some help with this one."

"And help you shall have." a voice said from the door. Their attention was turned to the toddler that floated towards Kyle. While Koenma examined the arrow, Botan and Genkai entered. Ranma remembered that Botan said Kuwabara got kidnapped.

"Hey Botan, what happened to Kuwabara?"

Botan smiled. "It's over. Yusuke and the others were able to take out the psychics. Right now they are recovering from the battle with the leader."

"Well that's good to hear." Akane chirped in. Genkai stood in front of Kyle with Koenma.

"It looks like a Miko did this." Koenma concluded.

"We could have told you that." Ukyo deadpanned.

Genkai looked at Yumi. "I assume you did this." Yumi nodded. "It quite obvious you don't agree to release him." Yumi again nodded.

"If that is the case, you will be sent to Spirit World to be tried." Koenma stated.

"What!" The four demons exclaimed.

"You have committed a crime: kidnapping a Spirit Detective. So you must face the punishment."

Botan tied them all together with a rope she pulled out of nowhere. She tied the rope to the end of her oar and hopped on it. "I will be taking them now Koenma sir."

"Of course. I will be there shortly."

Botan had a hard time getting the oar to go, but somehow she pulled it off. Ranma stomped up to Koenma.

"How do ya expect us to help Kyle if the one person who can undo this is going to jail!"

"You need to calm down. There is one way to get him released."

"Tell us what it is already!" Ranma yelled. Cologne clonked him on the head. "Be more patient Ranma."

Koenma nodded and continued. "All you need is to find another Miko and Kyle can be released."

"Great." Ukyo said. "So where do we find one?"

"Actually there is one here in Tokyo. Her name is Kagome Higurashi."

DT: This should be illegal!

Ukyo: Be quite and type faster. Your audience wants to know what happens next.

Ukyo is holding her giant spatula over DT's head.

DT: You don't have to breathe down my neck to get me to work….

Kyle: Now, now you two. Ukyo you need to go easier on her. It's not her fault she's lazy.

DT: Gee, thanks for sticking up for me.

DT grudgingly gets to work.

Ukyo: I'll make sure you doesn't slack off this time!

Ukyo laughs manically. DT and Kyle sweat drop.

DT: Now I'm scared.

Kyle: At least you don't have to put up with her everyday.

Ukyo: What was that!

Kyle and DT: Run away! Oh and please review and no flames!
