Rana & Kurama
"Rana, wait up would ya?" Kurama called behind Rana who was walking as if in a daze. She stopped and turned around in time to run into Kurama.
"Owwwwie." Rana said as she rubbed her head. Kurama laughed as he stood up and helped Rana up.
"Are you alright?" Kurama asked as he noted a slight bruise on her head from his chin.
"Ya, I'm alright. You?" Rana asked as Kurama was about to let go of her arm, he felt her shaking lightly just before he let go and he nodded his head.
"Do you want to go somewhere? My treat." Kurama offered.
"I dunno, I haven't been outside of that room in so long I haven't been able to keep up with the times so I'm uncertain of the new sports and forms of entertainment humans have created." Rana said as she put a hand over her mouth in surprise as Kurama laughed. Rana blushed at the slip of her tongue from casual to a formality.
"That's alright, I'll show you around, do you want to learn how to play soccer?" Kurama asked.
"Soccer? That sounds familiar." Rana said as Kurama smiled.
"It should. It's an old sport." Kurama began to explain the rules as they went to a sports shop and picked up a soccer ball. Kurama began to teach her and after a game of soccer on the beach they just walked the beach, they had taken their shoes off and Kurama had tucked the ball under his arm, putting his flip flops in one of his pockets that was just big enough to hold them. Rana carried her own flip flops as they carried on a conversation.
"Kurama, aren't you also known as Yoko, the theif?" Rana asked.
"Yes, I'm known as that, among a few other names, such as Suiichi." Kurama answered.
"Mmm, Your turn." Rana said referring to their agreement of answering and asking questions one after the other.
"What is your dream about?" Kurama asked as he saw Rana tense a bit out of the corner of his eyes.
"I..I...," Rana took a deep breath as she exhaled and tried again, "I'm walking down a hall, but I'm younger, about the age I was when I began to protect Suzu, I'm followingSuzu, I ask her where we are going and she tells me to wait, she winks at me and continues as I follow. We stop infront of a big door with an upside down heart and a right side up paw print inside of the heart. I ask what it is and Suzu says 'Your demise' and she turns into a vampiress. She throws me in as I turn into the age I am now. A dog with three heads is inside, skeletons hang from chains on the walls and broken bones are literring the floor and just as the dog is about to eat me, I wake up, in a cold sweat, screaming and crying." Rana said as Kurama quietly listened. Rana continued to walk, looking at the sand as Kurama bent to look at her face. Kurama sighed, put the ball down and took Rana gently, into a hug that began to help her calm down. Kurama 'shh'-ed her to calm her down as he felt her tears soaking his shirt. When she had calmed down just a bit he picked the soccer ball up and walked her over to a tree where he sat and continued to hug her, swaying back and forth softly and gently to show her comfort, Rana gave silent sobs as her breathing began to return to normal, her shaking never stopping.
"I'm sorry Rana, Dani, Suzu and I will help you, and I'm sure we didn't fool Yusuke or Hiei, they'll help too." Kurama said softly as Rana sighed into his chest as Kurama smiled softly and looked at the water, "It'll all be alright. I swear." Kurama said as Rana wrapped her arms around Kurama's neck.
"Th-thank you." Rana said as Kurama wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled.
"Your welcome. Now, come on. We need to get home to get some food." Kurama added as they stood up. Rana followed Kurama as she smiled at his act of comfort and friendship. Kurama was thinking about last night, after they had Rana had gotten back to sleep he had gone to his desk and found her porfolio.

Flashback
A picture of Rana stared back at him with a strictly no emotions face. Her driver's license, passport, and world license photo. Hair in a top knot in the photo, eyes bright but lips stern, outlined with a white pencil, lips drawn with red and her lashes curled. The appearance of an off duty geisha. Kurama placed the picture page to the side, checking on her information.

Flashback Ends
"Rana!" Keiko suddenly yelled as Ourania looked over to the foodcourt. Keiko came over and gave Rana a huge hug as Rana returned the hug. After checking up on Dani and thanking Hiei profusely for watching over her they went to look around the mall some more as Rana put on the front of actaully liking to shop. Eventually she was just watching the others as they shopped and Kurama joined her as they supported the wall.
"Not much of a shopper?" Kurama asked.
"Hell...NO." Rana said with an exasperated sigh as she stood up, suddenly chunks from the floor flew out as Rana's hair blew around her. She ran at Dani and threw her on the ground, put her body of Dani's to ensure her safrety as she felt chunks of cement scrape against her back, tearing skin away with it.After the explosion died down, Rana got off of Dani as she growled. Her eyes turned from blue to silver, her hair shortening to her chin as it flipped out, except the bangs which flipped in to surround her face. Her shirt shifted into a black halter top as her poncho stayed unaffected as wings sprouted from her back.
"Rana?" Kurama asked unsurely as the new Ourania stood before him.
"Malaika is the name, helpin' people's the game." 'Ourania' said with a wink as she smiled to reveal pointed canine teeth as the demon tried to attack them, Malaika held her wings out and batted them to create a wind to throw the debris away from them. Her wings collapsed and hung to her frame as she ran forward, grabbing a pipe as she went and lodging it into the demon, the demon swatted Malaika out of the air as she began to fly up and she was sent back to the ground crushing one of her wings. She stood back up, wincing at the pain in her shoulder now as she folded her wings and her hair re-grew out to her shoulders and turned back to red, her wings fell to feathers and a tattoo of a pair of wings about 2 inches across combining both, was seen on her back before her shirt returned to normal and her poncho fell to cover her back.Ourania looked around and then ran into another store, she grabbed a sword that was in a case and tested the edge, she scraped it against the wall as she headed towards the demon. With the sword now sharpened, Ourania chargd at the demon, blocking attacks and narrowly missing them as some held aginst her sword and some made contact, soon though the demon was defeated as Ourania threw the sword into a wall, she muttered an incantation and the whole Rekai Tantei group saw time in the mall rewind, Ourania motioned towards them to follow her, she picked up her bag and walked outside beginning to feel the toll of the battle and the magic after rush. She grabbed her head as blood poured from a gaping wound in her side.
"OURANIA!" Dani yelled as Ourania fell backwards. Kurama was there however and he caught her, supporting her bridal style in his arms as she groaned in pain, "Ourania hold on." Dani muttered fearfully as Kurama began to run in order to get to the hotel and get Ourania healed sooner.

Later
"Good thing you're feeling better." Dani said as Ourania smiled.
"I wouldn't be a good protector if I wasn't would I?" Ourania asked as Dani smiled and kissed Ourania's forehead before leaving. Kurama came in with a tray of tea as he motioned for Dani to come back into the room and shut the door.
"I noticed this while I was treating your wounds." Kurama said as Ourania flinched when his hand carefuly took her hair and wiped it away from her neck to reveal two puncture marks near the base towards her spinal cord, "Those aren't even relatively new, mind explaining?" Kurama asked. Ourania fidgeted under their gazes as she sighed loudly.
"I...I was a traded servant from my clan to a clan of vampires, they tried to turn me but they never managed because my other side, Malaika, is from the Malak clan, a clan of literal angels, the purified blood that ran through my veins only killed the vampires that tried to bite and turn me. It was...a frightening process." Ourania said as Dani turned her face to look her in the eyes. Dani smiled as she then hugged Ourania.
"Don't worry Rana, we'll take good care of you." Dani added as she ruffled the other girl's hair lightly. Dani left soon after as Kurama instructed Rana to drink the tea.
"May I ask another question?" Kurama asked.
"Sure." Rana answered after finishing her tea.
"How did Malaika come to be?" Kurama asked again.
"Well, when I was born I had an early spirit. Who I am right now, Ourania. Malaika had died in heaven from the battle between heaven and hell and her spirit was to be reborn. She explained as, when an angel is killed or dies instead of dying they are given life, they are reborn into a new body, but my body was supposed to be Malaika's. Since Malaika's spirit joined my body at the exact moment of my birth, the spirit I already had and Malaika's collided and my spirit won over her's allowing me to stay in the control of my body. We're the same person with a different appearance. Like you and Yoko." Rana explained.
"Well, that was a good explanation." Kurama said with a smile as Rana smiled in return. She tried to get up as Kurama braced her so she wouldn't fall, "Maybe you should stay in bed." Kurama said worriedly.
"No, I'm fine." Rana replied through gritted teeth.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. Now git so I can change."
"Alright alright." Kurama left as Rana made her way to the dresser using the bed and a chair to lean her weight on. After about a half an hour later she came down in a blank mid-drift tank top that was loose enough to show a bandage surrounding her entire stomach and chest. She had a pair of baggy cargo pants on and her hair was in a sloppy ponytail towards the end of her hair.
"Who was that demon sent by?" Koenma asked as Rana eased into a chair and nearly flew out of it when Kurama began to push her chair in, well, when you're startled like that you might do the same. Rana glared at him slightly as he sat down smiling nervously at her glare as she answered.
"I have a hunch but I'd rather not involve any of you. Bryan you can spend the rest of this vacation here but Dani and I must leave. I'm sorry to have bothered you all and I apologize for my behavior earlier." Rana added as she looked out the window and then back to the surprised looks.
"You can't leave!" Kuwabara said.
"I can and will." Rana answered.
"WHY!" Yusuke asked.
"Because I will not endanger anyone who should not be. Dani is their target. I am her protector, I and Dani are the only ones who should travel." Rana replied.
"Where will you go?" Koenma asked.
"To the spirit world." Rana answered.
"Dani needs a pass." Botan said as Dani's gaze shifted from looking at Rana in complete surprise to looking at Botan in annoyance.
"You're okay with this!" Dani exploded as Rana closed her eyes to stay calm.
"Danielle calm down please." Rana said as Dani turned on her.
"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE AND YOU'RE TELLING ME I HAVE TO RUN FROM THEM!" Dani yelled as Rana sighed and looked away from Dani.
"For your own good...yes." Rana replied as she stood up and began to walk up the steps, "We're leaving in the morning." Rana added as Dani sat down in shock. The door upstairs clicked closed and the rooms were silent, they all finished dinner in silence, Yukina taking a plate up to Rana later on. They all spent the rest of the day talking and avoiding the subject as if ignoring it, would make it stay away, but as all people know, and especially these people, that is entirely impossible.
