Chapter Two
Discovery
of a Queen
Andrea looked around Koenma's office and
giggled at nothing in particular. Nothing there shocked her because
even though she had never been there before she had seen the room
many times. Koenma was shocked. He hadn't expected the Reikai
Tentai so soon. The fact that they might bring the girl in question
with him so soon hadn't even seemed a distant possibility. But
there she was and she hadn't even put up the slightest bit of a
fight.
"Hello, Toddler," was Yusuke's greeting to
Koenma who for once did not take the bait.
"How did you find
her so fast? Who found her? Why is she giggling?" asked Koenma,
sucking on his pacifier furiously.
It was Andrea who spoke.
"If anyone found me that would be, Kurama and I'm giggling
because I know more about you then you know about me which is to say
the least quite humorous to me."
"How could you know
anything about me?" said Koenma in a cold voice that no one in the
room had ever heard him use. It had no effect on Andrea.
Her
reply was, "Because I watch Yu Yu Hakusho."
"Oh", was
Koenma's reply, his voice filled with sudden understanding.
"Why
do you want her, Koenma-sama?" asked Kurama.
"Because she
might be the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Fire Queen." said
Koenma.
Hiei gasped and took a step back. Everyone else looked
confused.
Koenma handed Kurama a piece of old parchment. On it
was a prophecy (the one from the prologue) of which only a small
portion remained legible. Kurama gasped and he said "She fulfills
all but the control of fire and stealing Hiei's heart."
Andrea
who had read the prophecy over his shoulder said, "No I don't. I
have no jagan. It can't be true. Besides though I do like the last
line, I don't think I could be so lucky."
"There is a
way to find out if she is the one the in the prophecy." said Koenma
as he looked at Hiei.
"I'll do it." said Hiei as he
turned to Andrea.
"Do what?" was Andrea's reply. Her
answer was a telepathic reply from Hiei.
'No more then
you've already agreed to.'
Andrea relaxed as Hiei
picked his way through her mind. She hid nothing from him;
occasionally she even pointed something out to him that he had
overlooked in his search. Then he found what he was looking for and
abruptly left her mind.
"She is the Fire Queen." said Hiei
as he went down on one knee in front of Andrea who immediately
blushed. Andrea looked to Kurama who, noticing the look of utter
confusion on her face, decided to explain the title to her.
"The
Fire Queen is queen of all those who have any affiliation with the
element of fire. That queen is you. Therefore Hiei is one of your
people." said Kurama helpfully.
Andrea turned her attention
back to Hiei who was still kneeling in front of her and said, "Get
up, Hiei." Hiei did as instructed and Andrea continued with, "How
do you know that I am the one?"
"Instinct, My Queen."
was Hiei's reply.
"Oh,"was her short reply. Then the
girl swayed gently and fell to the ground. Andrea had fainted.
