Chapter 6: The Reason for Reincarnation.

Hiei scowled. The last time he was here, he was given the option to help Yuusuke and Kuwabara fight the Four Saint beasts, or an eternity in the Reikai Prison, and now he was here to ask Koenma about his past life. He needed to know. He wasn't about to tell anyone until he knew for sure, and even then, the only person he would tell was Kurama. His mind winced at the thought of telling him.

'How would he take it?' Hiei thought as he pushed past ogres that were rushing around in an organized frenzy, and into The Infant's office. The toddler didn't look up from his paperwork as Hiei got to the desk.

"What do you want Hiei? You know I'm a very busy man..." Koenma said as Hiei glared down at him.

"Che! Fine then, Infant, I'll make this simple." Hiei shot back as Koenma finally looked up from his desk.

"Well?" Koenma said impatiently.

"Who is Himura Kenshin? I want his papers, and I know you have them..." Hiei said as he crossed his arms. Koenma looked at Hiei in shock.

"H-h-how do you know that name, Hiei? And what do you want them for?" Koenma said as he looked through his desk. The infant emerged with the papers, The kanji for Himura Kenshin was clearly written on there.

"I just want the papers dammit." Hiei didn't say a thing afterwards. It was obvious that he was annoyed.

"I can't. My father would be irate if he found out. I can't chance it." Koenma said, putting the papers on the desk.

"Fine. I'll do it without your permission." Hiei said as the papers dissappeared off of the desk. Hiei paced back to a corner of the office, nearly vanishing from all eyes, reading the file.

"Hiei, don't get angry with me. I shouldn't be telling you this, but..." Koenma said, dismissing any ogres that were in the office in haste.

"I already know. I was Himura Kenshin, but what I want to know is why did you reincarnate me? " Hiei said, closing the file and placing it back on the desk. Koenma jumped back in surprise.

"How do you know that Hiei?" Koenma countered as he nearly fell out of the chair. Hiei crossed his forearms in disgust.

"I just do damnit. Now tell me why I was reincarnated Infant." Hiei shot back as the toddler got back into his seat. Koenma organized the file with the others, and set them aside. After he was done with this, he spoke to Hiei calmly,

"Hiei, the reason we reincarnated Himura Kenshin into you is because we didn't have the Reikai Prison fully constructed and Himura wanted the worst punishment possible. At the time it was reincarnation. Himura wanted a life that was not as easy as the one he lived in... He wanted this because of all the people he killed. He wanted to atone. And we weren't about to send him to hell. We didn't want to even send Toguro into the Mekai. His soul was able to be saved. He didn't want it saved. Kenshin wanted his soul saved, so we did the reincarnation process." Koenma ended the long speech with a sigh. Hiei stood up and looked at Koenma.

"You better be telling the truth for your sake, infant, I'm going back to the Makai with Kurama." he said as he left the building, nearly knocking over Hinageshi and Botan on his way out. They didn't seem to notice him as they entered the office with urgent news...
