Everyone entered the living room of Genkai's temple. Botan turned around to greet them but then saw the girl unconscious in Kurama's arms and everyone could see her temper rise.
"YUSUKE! WHAT ON EARTH DID YOU DO?!" she shouted, smacking him upside the head.
"OW! Geez woman! Get your facts right! I didn't do it, Hiei did! We saved her from a demon and she wouldn't come with us so Hiei knocked her out." Yusuke replied, rubbing his head gingerly. Botan immediately calmed down.
"Oh, okay then." she says turning back to her tea with Genkai and Yukina. Kuwabara went over and sat next to Yukina.
"Hey Yukina, did you miss me?" he asked with his usual stupid goofy smile. She giggled.
"It's good to see you too Kazuma." she says sweetly. Hiei goes over and sits in the window seal eyeing Kuwabara darkly. Kurama sets the girl down in the next room and puts a blanket over her so she can be comfortable. He then rejoins the others in the living room.
"So there was a demon there when you got there?" Botan asked with a serious tone.
"Yeah he was trying to get her to go with him. He said they had been waiting for her." Yusuke explained not even thinking about what he was saying.
"He must have been a Black Night then. So they already know who she is then. That's not good." Genkai says setting down her cup. "We'll need to set up some protective measures around here to protect her from them." she adds once she thinks about it.
Botan nods, "I'll go talk to Master Koenma about what he'd like us to do with her now." she says and gets up. She leaves the room and with the rustle of the wind she's gone.

The girl opened her eyes slowly and looked around her. She sat up quickly with a gasp as she realized she didn't know where she was. Through the open window near her she could she the night-time sky and she knew she must have been out for a while. Outside the room she heard voices talking. One seemed to be getting closer and closer till it was right outside the door. She stared at the door as she listened and waited for the person to enter.
"I'll check and make sure she's alright. Hiei must have forgotten that she is human and didn't hold back as much." a calm voice spoke from right outside her door. Far off she could have sworn she heard a "Hn." But it could have been her imagination. The door opened and Kurama walked in. For a moment they both just stared at each other then Kurama smiled.
"It's good to see you're awake. Are you feeling alright?" he asks closing the door behind him. The girl scooted back slightly.
"W-who are you?" she asked eyeing him nervously.
"My name is Kurama. We were the ones that saved you from that guy earlier." He explains choosing his words carefully until he knew how much he could tell her.
"I know that was a demon, I'm not stupid you know." she says flatly, relaxing a little. She pulls her legs into a cross-legged position and stares up at him.
"How do you know about demons?" he asks her in surprise.
"Mom told me all about them. She never let me leave the house for too long because she figured I'd get attacked. She always was afraid of them once my brother died." She explains with a shrug as if it meant nothing to her. A sad expression painted across Kurama's face.
"I'm sorry about your brother." he says gently.
She shrugs, "Don't be. He was killed only a week after birth. I never even knew him." she says. She looks around the room, "So where am I anyways?" she asks him.
"This is a temple that belongs to our friend Genkai." Kurama explains. "Would you like to come meet the others?" he asks gesturing to the door.
"Sure as long as they don't attack me. After that I think I'll head home if you don't mind." she says standing up.
"I'm afraid you can't do that." Kurama says, his hand on the door.
She looks at him suspiciously, "Why not?" she asks.
He sighs, "I'll explain that after you meet the others." he says wondering how on earth he's going to explain this. He opens the door and guides he into the living room. Yusuke happened to be wrestling with Kuwabara on the floor, Yukina giggling at them, Genkai and Hiei both rolling their eyes. Kurama clears his throat and everyone stops to look at him.
"Everyone this is…." Kurama says but then stops because he doesn't know her name.
"Akira." she finishes his sentence and waits for the others replies.
