Not much to ramble on about. I was wondering though: What is the difference between a youko demon & a kitsune demon? That's come up twice to me in the past few days & I really don't know the difference.

Blah Blah Blah Mentally communicating.

Chapter 11

Kurome liked flying above clouds, and it helped her forget about falling off the oar. Too bad she couldn't totally forget about it. So she kept her on her lap, ready to grab onto something if she were to lose her balance. She looked over at Kurama who was enjoying the view.

'He's probably done this before.' Kurome thought to herself.

"We're about there." Botan announced as she started to go through the clouds.

After they cleared the clouds, a huge palace came into site. They landed on a large balcony. Botan entered a large hall that lead to many doors, followed by Kurama.

'I'm gonna puke if I have to keep doing this.' Kurome thought.

"Are you coming?" he asked Kurome over his shoulder.

She snapped out of it, and started to follow the two. Botan led them to a large set of double doors. When Botan approached them, they slide open.

"Ohhh like the doors at Walmart." Kurome thought aloud, only Kurama heard her & he started laughing.

Kurome blushed, 'Whoops, I didn't mean to say that out loud.' she thought.

Beyond the double doors there was a huge stack of papers all piled on a desk. A stamping sound could be heard behind the papers, but Kurome couldn't see anyone. Botan cleared her throat.

"Koenma, sir, Kurama and Kurome are here." she stated. Then Koenma (in his toddler form)came around his desk.

"Thank you Botan, I'll take it from here." he instructed. She nodded and waved to Kurome and Kurama before leaving.

After Botan left, Koenma turned to Kurama.

"Would you mind waiting outside while I talk to Kurome?" he asked.

Kurama nodded, then turned to leave.

"Wait." Kurome spoke up. Kurama stopped and looked at her.

"Is what you have to tell me so bad that Kurama can't hear as well. He'll probably end up hearing it in the end." she finished.

Koenma thought about this for a minute.

"Alright, you can stay, if you want." he told the kitsune.

"Only if you don't mind." Kurama told Kurome, who nodded.

"Then both of you may have a seat." Koenma said while gesturing to a couch against a wall in the room.

Kurome and Kurama sat down on the couch while Koenma wheeled his chair around from behind his desk. He set it in front of the couch, so he was facing the pair. He just sat there for a minute rubbing a temple. Kurome turned her head slightly to the side.

"Where to begin." The young ruler mumbled. Then he looked up,

"Kurome, let me see your right arm." he finally said. Kurome slowly held her right arm up. There was a tan part of her skin that looked like someone took a sponge soaked in tan colored paint & dabbed her arm.

"That is not dirt?" Koenma asked.

Kurome shook her head, not able to talk because she was so anxious.

"Do you know how you got that?"

Kurome shook her head again.

Koenma leaned back in his chair & Kurome put her arm down. Kurama sat still, listening to what Koenma had to say.

"Well that is a barrier that I put on you when you were younger. It surpresses memories, and your powers." he explained.

"What memories?" Kurome quietly asked.

"The memories before you were sent to the States in another dimension." the young prince replied.

'So that explains why I met Kurama, even though he was from an anime show.' Kurome thought as she sat there, trying to handle taking in this much information. Koenma took advantage of the situation to continue.

"You are half demon, a hanyou. I still do not understand to this day how you are, because both of your biological parents were full demons, that I know of. Both of your parents were wolf demons. You were born in Makai, and grew up there for the first 3 years of your life. You lived in a village with other wolf demons that protected a jem. It was the Moon Emerald. It was a sacred object to wolf demons, and your village gaurded it." Koenma told.

"You are telling me this why?" Kurome asked.

"I'm getting there." Koenma replied before continueing his story.

"Your village was attacked by a very powerful demon that was after the emerald, and killed all the inhabits. You were outside the village at the time, so that's why you survived." Koenma continued.

Kurome blinked a few times, still trying to handle all of this.

"I'll keep this short. So would you like me to release all of your powers?" the prince asked.

Kurome nodded, "Please."

Koenma stood up and took her right arm, placing his right hand over it, while his left hand held it up. He closed his eyes as his hand started to glow blue with spirit energy. Slowly the tan marking on Kurome's arm started to disappear. After a few seconds the mark was completely gone.

"Your memories and powers will slowly come to you over the next two hours." Koenma explained.

"But how did I get sent to the US?" Kurome asked him.

"Well we heard about the attack in spirit world. So we sent a member of the SDF (spirit world's: Special Defense Force.) after the demon, because he was very infamous. We had you brought to spirit world to protect you because you are very powerful..." Koenma continued.

"And if a demon were to raise me to do evil things, I would be a threat." Kurome calmly finished.

"Correct, so we were going to keep you here until we found a suitable village for you to stay in, but you were devistated by what had happened. So we decided to seal your memories and powers, and sent you to another world." Koenma finished.

"So I'm a wolf demon right?" Kurome asked.

Koenma nodded, "Yes, and you have elemental powers of fire." he replied.

Then a portal appeared in the office.

"You should get back to the temple so you can relax while everything comes back to you." he instructed.

Kurome and Kurama stood up and walked over to the portal.

"Kurome, I will visit the temple tomorrow and settle a few more things." Koenma said. Kurome nodded, then went through the portal.

"I don't mean to cut this so short, so I'll have to talk to you later about what I wanted to say. I'm sorry that this trip was mainly pointless in your sake." Koenma said to Kurama.

"It's alright, my visit wasn't completely in vain." he replied before also going through the portal.

On the other side of the portal, Kurome and Kurama were outside Genkai's temple.

"Interesting, huh? I guess that explains why Wolf was in my mind. She was my half demon side." Kurome said to Kurama.

He nodded, then they went into the temple to find the rest of the tentai in the living room. Genkai was scolding Yusuke for something he did. Kuwabara was watching Yusuke, trying not to laugh. Hiei was sitting near a window.

When Kuwabara heard the door shut he looked over.

"Hey guys, Botan stopped by and said you two were in spirit world. So what'd Koenma want?" the boy asked.

Genkai stopped scolding Yusuke to listen, and the room suddenly became very quiet.

"I'm going to lay down." Kurome said as she walked over to the hall leading to her bedroom.

"Hey aren't you going to answer me?" Kuwabara asked.

"I don't feel like it right now, ask Kurama if he wants to tell." she said before leaving.

Kuwabara looked towards the door to find Kurama not standing there anymore. Suddenly he noticed the fox sitting next to him on the couch.

"Whoa! When'd you get there?" he asked.

"While you were talking to Kurome." Kurama calmly replied.

"Baka." Hiei mumbled from the window.

"So do you wanna tell us what went on?" Yusuke asked.

"I suppose so." Kurama agreed.

5 minutes later.

"Whoa, so she's not human." Yusuke stated.

"Kurama did say that dimwit." Genkai told her pupil.

Kurama sighed as they started argueing again.

So are you going to tell the hanyou? Hiei mentally asked Kurama.

About what? Kurama sent back.

Don't play stupid with me fox. That you were the one that killed her kin, and stole the emerald. Hiei replied.

Oh yea shocking cliffhanger! Dodges all objects thrown at her

Well if your wondering about the whole SDF thing I wrote about. WARNING, MINOR SPOILER TO THE SHOW. HOW YOUKO KURAMA DIED, THAT'S ALL.

Well for all you Kurama fans, if ya remember in the beginning of the series Youko Kurama said after he stole something, he was chased & shot. Well it was an SDF member that shot Youko Kurama. The SDF are a team of people in spirit world that are sent out when something is threatening the existance of Human World. (AKA: code red, if it is cause by something dealing with human world, spirit world, and demon world.) But one of the members were sent out to take care of Youko Kurama, and they did. (I hate that dude the most outa all of the SDF, course I hate all the SDF.) But they didn't mention this in the show cause they cancelled it! (And with only 6 episodes left of the Chapter Black Saga.) If ur wondering how I know, my pal & I each bought a tape of Yu Yu Hakusho to finish the saga. ($20 bloody bucks for a VHS! Curse you FYE for charging so much to take advantage of us Yu Yu Hakusho fans! And curse you BlockBuster for not having them to rent in your anime section! And curse you Family Video for not having an anime section at all!
