"So I suppose that the time frame in which I live is well known." The dark princess grinned sharply at the young lord of Spirit World. Koenma seemed frozen as he stared at the young lass before him. Things just didn't work out like this. An earthling from that long ago agreeing to help in the killing of one of Spirit World's strongest warriors. He gulped as he stared at the lovely and pale beauty before him. "You would assume correct, Miss Hotaru." He frowned ever so lightly at naming her. That name, He pondered quietly, Not many of the Silver Millennium people would name children in Japanese because it was before Japan was formed as a nation. "Would you know of anyone conspiring against the leaders of your time, Hotaru. Saying if that's your real name at all…" Botan hissed out, breaking the silence. Innocent violet eyes turned at the blue haired grim reaper. "Whatever do you mean, madam Botan?" She questioned.

Hotaru flinched, knowing that Botan and probably this so-called infant leader of Spirit World was catching on to her fake name. 'Hotaru' was part of an ancient Titanian tongue that a Saturnian Titan lord called Shi had been trying to teach her. It meant 'Firefly' and it was Shi's nickname for her whenever he visited. He was a very strange little boy. Shrugging, she waited for Botan's response. "I don't think you're telling us your real name." Botan stated, getting a few gasps from the group ((namely Kuwabara)).

"In fact. I'm sure of it. Japanese wasn't truly invented until after the Silver Millennium. I highly doubt you are named Hotaru." Botan sneered, giving the innocent looking girl a glare. Yuusuke and the others were still somewhat mildly confused. "So since I won't give you my name-You tell me that you won't trust me." Hotaru's eyes darkened a shade. "That's all fine and dandy. I trust all of you about as far as I could through you." She smirked, leaning back against the chair.

"Koenma sir…. Don't we have more important issues at hand?" The strange blue Orc near the infant drawled out-taking Hotaru and Botan from a clash of violet-eyed glaring contests. "Yes. You are correct. Miss Hotaru, do you know of anyone who would work against the leaders of the Silver Millennium. Particularly with demons." Koenma broke the rooms tension as he stared deeply at Hotaru.

Hotaru froze, her mind wandering back.

*****FLASHBACK*****

"So Kaori, what's your next move?" One of Kaori's many followers, another male oozed into her hand stated, while looking at the beautiful yet idiotic flaming haired professor. Hotaru, behind them, made gagging noises. "It's nothing much. I just made this doorway to the spirit realm." Hotaru blinked, looking up at the bragging woman. "Spirit Realm?" Hotaru and the boy stated at the same time. "Yes. It's the plain of existence for what the humans call Youkai. In other words; stronger demons than those Youja and Youma that the Silver Millennium is constantly fighting, to say the least." Kaori grinned wryly.

*****END FLASHBACK SEGMENT***

"Oh man…" Hotaru put a hand to her forehead. She groaned, shaking her head in frustration. "I take it you know of someone." Koenma stated, glaring at her. The others were now focused on her as well. "I suppose that stupid red bitch is doing it again." She sighed, looking up at the high ceiling. "So who is it already?!" Yuusuke shouted. "Kaori. Kaori Night, one of the high doctors to a semi-powerful ruler of the Silver Alliance and a leader among the lords over the outer belt of the alliance." Hotaru sneered. "That bitch has had it in for the Silver Millennium and my family for years. Why do you think I'm even here." She growled.

"Kaori?" Kurama repeated, remembering the name from some where. "Ah…. One of the first halfling children and a dark witch. If I remember correctly; during the wars between Spirit World and the Nether World - Kaori's parents were killed. She was taken in by the Saturnian household. But that would make you…" Koenma drifted as his eyes turned to the dark haired princess. Hotaru sat there, arms over chest crossed, eyes dark as she glared back. "A Saturnian." She stated for him, daring him with her eyes. He squeaked and backed up quickly. "Saturnian?" Yuusuke and Kuwabara questioned at the same time, looking to the raven headed girl for an explanation.

"Saturnians are members of the Silver Millennium's Silver Alliance. They are from Saturn." Kurama stated, his own tone sharp. "FROM WHERE?!" Yuusuke yelled loudly looking at the back of Hotaru's black raven head. "Oh…That makes sense…" Botan stated. "I guess that's why she referred to us as humans and earthlings rather than people. She didn't call you guys boys; but humans." Botan looked up thoughtfully before continuing, "No wonder you were so insulted by being called human. Humans and Saturnians have been on fighting terms since the first years of the Silver Millennium."

"Fighting terms…Ha…" Hotaru scoffed, not caring if it was out loud. "It is stupid to say that we have been on fighting terms when it was humans and their stinking fear that has led to the death of our second queen." Hotaru glared darkly, eyes turning black as she stared at Botan. The young reaper flinched under the sharp gaze. It was odd to see such a look of death upon a young face.

Hiei smirked as he watched the pretty black haired girl murmur foul remarks about earthlings and their idiocy. He had to agree with the one about humans being weak. Only Yuusuke was strong enough to beat him and that was the only human besides Genkai and Kieko that he'd show even mild respect to; and even then it was MILD. Crossing his arms with a dangerous sly look, he questioned her, "Would you care to guide us to this Kaori."

Hotaru flinched, knowing that would have popped up sooner or later. Seemed that the red headed one and the black haired, red-brown eyed boy were actually worthy of some brains. She sneered as Koenma nodded. "Yes. It would be better for a Saturnian Ghost to show you boys around the area. If you do come into contact with the guards…. That could lead to a disaster. Saturn's Senshi is supposedly very strong and has immense magical powers." He muttered in a knowledgeable tone.

Violet eyes blinked wide as Hotaru turned toward him. A look of shock and paleness covering her face as she quietly asked aloud, "You know of the Sailor Senshi?" Her eyes showed awe and pain. The senshi, it was for the Queen of all Senshi that she'd been put to a never-ending nightmare sleep. It was her reasons and her duty to serve the soon to be Queen. "Of course I do. I am Koenma. Leader of the Spirit World; besides, Sailor Pluto is my cousin." Koenma smirked, giving Hotaru a slight wink.

The dark haired girl gapped. "You're related to Sailor Pluto…." She repeated, then slowly, ever so slowly a small smirk appeared until finally. "HAHAHAHA!" She cracked up, exploding into laughter. "You're…Ha…hehehe…." Hotaru chuckled as the infant looked offended. "Whose this Sailor Pluto? And what the hell are Sailor Senshi?" Yuusuke demanded. Hotaru's eyes went large and she stopped mid-laugh. "You don't know about Senshi?!" She squealed, as if the two humans present were even more idiotic than she presently thought. Oh boy…Her mind raced….Was there going to be a lot of explaining for this bunch…A heck of a lot….

TBC…
