stfu n00b: oo-kay. Thank you for the lecture, um...no, my character isn't going to be a Mary Sue. She's not uber-powerful, she's still learning how to use her new powers. Once she masters them, she'll be stronger, but only at about Kuwabara's level, maybe a bit higher.

Silverwing013: Okay! Your suggestion is a good one, I'm thinking of having her original name be Akiko, but then having her change it once she meets Yusuke and the others.

Shadowy Ninja Kiwi: Thanks! I really appreciate your praise. Praise is needed to support my poor, trashed self confidence.--;

Hiei's Shadow Tenshi: Hiei's my personal favorite too, but I wanna be fair and let the readers vote on pairings.

Konnichiwa! Man, high school is tough. However, it sure beats junior high. Now, as promised, Chapter 2 of Fallen from Grace!

Chapter 2: Dreams and Talking with Genkai

Dream/Flashback:

"Hey, Akiko! I need your help..."

"What! But, checking the files of heaven is..."

"Anna, please wait!"

"Sorry, but I have a future waiting for me. You can just take my punishment for me."

"No...Anna..."

"Seeya Akiko-chan!"

"No! Please, I didn't do it! You have to believe me!"

"The court finds you...guilty."

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

Her face, once loving and caring, now twisted into a cruel smirk.

Anna...

Why...

Akiko's eyes snapped open as she shot up into a sitting position. She was laying on a couch in somebody's home. Silently, she slid to the side and looked down at her shoes. One look at her black garb and black tipped hair brought all of her memories crashing to the surface. Tears began to form in her eyes.

"Anna...why...?"

"Are you quite through?"

Akiko looked sharply to her side to find an old, pink haired woman staring at her with half closed eyes. Almost unconsciously, she snapped her shoulders back and sat up straight. She somehow knew that this woman was someone who wasn't to be trifled with.

"You've been crying in your sleep for over an hour. If it isn't too much trouble, I'd like to know why you've thoroughly drenched my furniture with your sniffling." The old woman said. Akiko blushed.

"Oh, of course. My name is Akiko, but, I suppose that name doesn't fit now (1). Call me Risaiko (2) instead. As for my story, well, it still hurts to tell it, but I will tell you that I am what you ningens call a fallen angel." Akiko, now Risaiko, said.

/A fallen angel...well, that explains the mixed aura/ "I am called Genkai." The old woman said in introduction. Risaiko gasped, then bowed quickly.

"Genkai-sama, the famous psychic! You're well known in heaven for your exploits. I can't believe I'm in the presence of a celebrity." Risaiko said excitedly. Genkai waved her off.

"Don't call me Genkai-sama, that just makes me feel older than I already am. Just call me Genkai." She said. Risaiko nodded.

"As you wish Genkai-sa–Genkai." She said calmly, having regained her composure. "Thank you for your hospitality, but I must go now. Goodbye." She got up to leave, but Genkai stopped her.

"Hold it. Your not going anywhere. You're still hurt, after all." Genkai simply said. Risaiko bowed her head.

"I don't wish to be a freeloader, Genkai-san." She calmly replied, but she deep down, it was obvious that she was anything but.

Genkai sighed at the -san part, but let it go. /It's much better than that -sama crap, at least/

"You can do the cooking and cleaning for me in exchange for room and board. I may be a great psychic, but my homemaking skills leave something to be desired." Genkai said with a sigh. Risaiko's eyes lit up in joy.

"Really! Thank you so much, Genkai-san!" She exclaimed in joy. Little did she know that her presence had caught the attention of a certain Reikai toddler...

Reikai:

"Botan, while Yusuke is at Genkai's, tell him to look for not only Rando, but for the owner of the strange energy that I sensed. We need to find out if this person is friend or foe." Koenma instructed his blue haired lackey.

"Got it. I'm on my way." With a wink and a quick salute, Botan was on her way.

(1): Akiko means bright light, and now that she's fallen, she can't really be considered a bright light anymore.

(2): Child of Suffering
