Author's Note: So stressed from school activities! Don't get me wrong, I love school activities just don't schedule it all on the same month. Especially if that month is also the schedule of exams. That is actually why it took a long time to write the next chapter. Well, actually this chapter.
Thanks to Akari Neko-chanfor her usual review.
For those who still have interest in this story thanks as well.
P.S. This chapter will be a long one. And for those who wants to know what happened to Shura, look for it in the next chapter. This chapter is mainly focused on …
So…why? Why is he the Dragon Slayer? How? Spirit Detective before? That is impossible. He bruises like a peach. Well, so he says. And what is up with the pacifier?
Just who is this Dragon Slayer and well just place your own questions here. But before those can get answered……
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. This story I do own and what else…….of course my ideas.

They were all frozen like they were statues.
"You know I could just take a picture of your faces, it will last longer," Koenma said, trying to break the silence.
Kaira snapped out of her surprised state. She then started to attack Koenma.
"Why---the heck---did you---keep it ----a darn---secret," Kaira shouted at her older brother between punches and kicks.
"Hey—stop it---calm down," Koenma said avoiding each and every one of her sister's attacks.
"Calm down?!," Kaira said, stopping herself from attacking. "Calm Down?! You kept me and the whole world in the dark and you expect me to calm down and not beat you into pulp."
"Ummm, yeah."
With that comment Kaira began attacking Koenma again until…
"Kaira stop it," the bossy voice of Yusuke said. Kaira stopped and faced the ex-detective.
"Why should I?"
"Because we all want to know: What? How? Why?," Yusuke said.
"Why don't we go inside and talk about it," Genkai said. So they all went to the room where they had their meeting about the temple if ever Genkai dies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So…," Koenma asked.
"So?," Kuwabara repeated annoyed.
"So…what do you want to know," Koenma asked the obvious.
"Well, since Kaira said we didn't know anything about you, Koenma, why don't you just narrate your whole life to us," Kurama said.
"It's a long story, Kurama," Koenma said.
"We have time, we really want to know Koenma, I'm mean you never really had this kind of energy before and well…," Kurama said.
"Alright but you have to help me," Koenma said to Kaira.
"Alright but it's your life Koenma not mine."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
King Yamma wasn't the very first king of Spirit World. His ancestors were before him. His father had two sons and King Yamma was the youngest, so he never really expected that he would inherit his father's throne.
But at those times, the Spirit and Nether World were two different worlds. The Spirit World watched over the Human World while the Nether World watched over the Demon World. These two worlds were at war with each other.
King Yamma's older brother was the prince at the same time the right hand General of the King while King Yamma himself was the captain of the SDF.
King Yamma's father and brother were killed in a war that finally ended the two world's clashes. In the end the two worlds were merged into one Spirit World.
King Yamma/ Enma along with his wife Queen Ira took over the thrown and had two children, Koenma and Kaira.
Queen Ira was a very beautiful woman. She had long brown hair in a hairstyle the same as Botan's. She had hazel eyes and she was a skilled fighter.
Tradition states that the children of the King and Queen of the Spirit World would be the Spirit Detectives of the Human World. So when Koenma was 125 yrs. old and Kaira was 75 they became Human when they were on duty. They had two more companions Zed and Zai.
And that is the history of Koenma and Kaira's family.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So what happened to the Nether World?," Kuwabara asked.
"Idiot. He already said that it merged with the Spirit World we know today," Hiei said irritably to Kuwabara.
"What surprises me is that you became Spirit Detectives?," Kurama asked.
"Yes we did," Kaira answered.
"Then why did you ended up having to do paper work and have humans be the Spirit Detective," Kurama asked again.
"I'll get to that," Koenma said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I have something for you Koenma," King Yamma/ Enma said.
"What is it Dad," Koenma was just about 48 yrs. old.
"Here," King Yamma/Enma handed him a pacifier.
"Isn't this a human baby's toy? A pacifier as they call it."
"It looks like that but actually it's called a Mafukkan. See you store your Spirit Energy in it, then when you give your command it unleashes a very strong barrier that traps anyone you want to. But Koenma keep in mind that you have to ask my permission first before you unleash it."
"Ok Dad," Koenma then exists his parent's chamber.
"Do you think it will protect him from you-know-what," Queen Ira said stepping out of the shadows.
"I know it will."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mom! Stop it already! I am not a toddler anymore!," Koenma shouted. He was exiting his parent's room looking like a toddler but then he transformed back into his teenage form.
"Oh come on Koenma, mom's just playing with you," Kaira said, smiling a little.
"I'm sorry Koenma, I just think that you look cute in that form," Queen Ira said also smiling.
"Just because I have this pacifier doesn't make me a baby. I am not a kid anymore so stop making me take that form Mom. And it's not funny Kaira," Koenma said. "Come on, we still have to go back to Human World."
Koenma then left them alone. Queen Ira smile disappeared.
"Don't worry Mom. It's Koenma. He wouldn't stay mad at you forever," Kaira said.
"Thank you, Kaira. You better get going, I think you and the team have a case," Queen Ira said smiling again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Koenma, I need you or anyone from your team to fetch something for me," King Yamma/ Enma said.
"Ah, sure Dad what is it and where is it located," Koenma said, he was 150 yrs. old at this time.
"It is in a cave in Demon World, here," he handed his son a map. "It is a sliver brace with 100 stones on it."
"Alright, I'll get on it," Koenma said leaving his father's quarters.
"I'll do it myself," Koenma thought. "I did tell the others that they could have a small break after our last mission and it's just a small mission, I can handle it myself.
He opened a portal to demon world that leads directly to the mouth of the cave his father said.
He exited the portal and found himself facing a cave with dragon sculptures at its front.
"Huh? Dad never mentioned about dragons," Koenma said.
He entered the cave and only had to walk for a couple of minutes when he heard whispers. He saw the brace he was suppose to retrieve in the middle of a cylinder shape aura but he also saw three more demons near it. He hid in one of the rocks near them.
"Come on, we need to retrieve it already," one of the demons said.
"I'll try to get it, I'm sure they aren't any traps," the other demon said.
He tried to grab the brace from the cylinder aura but he was thrown back by an invisible force.
Koenma thought. "So not all can get it then. I just hope I can."
Suddenly the last of the demons spoke. He sensed another person among them. He spotted him hiding at the back of one of the rocks. At lightning speed he caught Koenma by surprised and grabbed him by the shoulders and lifted him up.
"What have we have here, a spirit world lackey," General Ashi said.
"I am not a lackey, for your information," Koenma said trying to loosen the grip of the general.
"Pardon us your majesty," the demon who was thrown back said, his name was Hinagou.
"Maybe he can retrieve it," Meiki said, the other demon.
Ashi threw Koenma forward to the cylinder. Then he drew his sword and placed at the back of Koenma.
"Take it," he ordered.
"What if I can't retrieve it either," Koenma said, then regretting his question.
"Then I think that our King might want to meet you," Ashi replied.
Koenma took a deep breath. Then he reached for the brace. When he touched it the cylinder aura disappeared.
"Thank you for making our job easier," Ashi said before hitting Koenma with the end of his sword(the none blade part).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Koenma wake up. Koenma," Mukuro said shaking his shoulder.
Koenma woke up. He was on the floor of the cave he entered and he was no longer holding the brace.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine godmother." Koenma said, then he felt a headache. He touched his head and felt the wound that was bleeding.
"What happened?"
"Well I was suppose to retrieve a brace but when I got here there were 3 demons already. They spotted me and made me retrieve it for them because they couldn't. When I retrieved it they knocked me unconscious."
"Well come on, let's heal that wound of yours---wait it's gone!," Mukuro said touching Koenma's head.
"What?!," Koenma also looked for his wound. His godmother was right it was gone.
"Maybe that is your special power," Mukuro said.
Koenma smiled. His godmother knew about Kaira and her newly found power. The Elemental Weapons. Koenma was jealous and was hoping that he would have a special power also.
"Thanks, Mukuro. I should be getting back now," Koenma said.
"Don't forget that you have your training with your godfather in the next few days," Mukuro reminded him.
"Right. I just hope he doesn't kill me like he almost did the last time," Koenma said.
"Don't worry about Yomi," Mukuro said assisting him to the portal he made. " He would never do that."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm sorry Dad, but I couldn't retrieve the brace some demons beat me to it," Koenma said facing his father.
King Yamma/ Enma smiled.
"Are you sure Koenma?"
Koenma was confused.
"Of course I am. Well, I actually retrieved it for them but they knocked me out cold then when I woke up I wasn't holding it anymore."
"Why don't you check your right forearm?"
Koenma, confused drew back his sleeve and found the brace wrapped around his right forearm.
"I have something to tell you Koenma," King Yamma/Enma said when his son didn't even muster a word.
They both walked to the library of the palace and both stop at the front of the painting of 100 dragons.
"Do you remember the story of the Dragon Slayer," King Yamma/Enma asked his son.
"Yeah, I remember, he was my hero when I was a kid but that is all just a story right," Koenma said, he remembered the dragon sculptures at the mouth of the cave.
"Koenma, you and your sisters are destined to have this power over the elements. While your sisters has her elemental weapons you have 100 elemental dragons at your command."
"I'm….," Koenma said in shocked. "You're kidding….I can't be…..I'm the Dragon Slayer."
"Remember the story, there was a prophecy and it happened.," Koenma said facing his son.
"How do you know that it's me?" Koenma asked.
"Your sister has already shown us her powers and now that the brace has finally shown up all this years, it is truly happening Koenma, you can't fight it."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So that's what basically happened," Koenma said to the gang.
"What happened after that?," Yusuke asked.
"Well we trained with our godparents in Demon World, Yomi and Mukuro," Kaira said.
"While I was training I unlocked each and every dragon I had control over," Koenma said.
"What about Fuzen?," Kurama asked.
"Well, that was his men on the cave so they basically reported everything to him. He waged war against the Spirit World by sending more demons to the Human World. Our job was more important then ever. But that was just a distraction, the core of Fuzen's troops were going to attack Spirit World," Koenma said.
"Zai, one of our teammate said that they could handle things in the Human World while we handle things in Spirit World," Kaira continued. "We separated. I handled things in the palace while Koenma handled things with Fuzen. Koenma was winning against Fuzen's men but…"
Kaira stopped. Tears filled her eyes.
"Why? What happened?," Yusuke asked.
Koenma spoke this time in a much darker voice.
"Fuzen sent his right hand man, Ashi to kidnap my mother. When I faced Fuzen alone, he had my mom at her mercy. He said if I didn't ask my father to surrender he'll kill her. My mom of course objected me to do such a thing but I wanted but Fuzen…just laughed and …killed her." Koenma stopped talking.
"That's when you lost control of your powers," Genkai finished his sentence.
"I actually didn't know what happened afterward. Kaira just told me what happened and Dad explained to me what I did. He also told me that the seal could only be broken by my immense amount of power, so he told me to keep my powers hidden inside me. But my instinct told me that Fuzen would break free and now he did."
"About the Spirit Detective thing, since humans were developing their sixth sense the Human Spirit detectives were put into action and I just over see them," Koenma finished his story.
"So what are you planning to do now," Hiei asked.
"Well, if Fuzen attacks I'll fight him and make sure that he'll be defeated for good.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Koenma was outside of Genkai's temple. He was thinking to himself.
The reason why he always was in his toddler form nowadays was because it reminded him of his mother. His mother was the one that made that form for him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Queen Ira watched as her daughter followed her brother out of the palace.
"You have to face the fact that they are growing up, Ira," King Yamma/Enma said to his wife.
"I know but I just wish that they wouldn't."
"Making Koenma take a form of a toddler wouldn't do that you know."
"At least I tried," Queen Ira said facing her husband and hugging him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's Note: Koenma, in this fic, is in his teenage form. King Yamma/ Enma is also not a giant in the flashbacks.
It took me two days to write this chapter and I wish I placed everything that I wanted in it. I also hope that I've answered your questions and that you are satisfied with my answers.
For the next chapter we find out what Fuzen is proposing to the prince to finally settle their differences. What could that be and what happened to Shura and Yomi. Well let's find out in the next chapter.
I hope to see you guys in Chapter 8: Proposal!
P.S. It might take a very long time for me to update because of a lot of school activities with exams on top.
