Suntiger: I updated again. I feel like I'm the only one that's doing that now. I tried to go read other people's story and they haven't updated!

Solace: Patience is a virtue.

Suntiger: Well, I'm running out of it

Celosia: I don't like this chapter

Shiva: -laughing uncontrollably-

Suntiger: You'll see why she hates it

Solace: I think it's funny

Hecate: You think everything is funny

"Blah" Talking

Blah speaking in the head

Twin and Creator

Keiko barged into my room early in the morning and went through my things. I glared at her. "What are you doing so early in the morning?" I asked.

"School remember? It's Monday," Keiko said and threw my uniform in my face. "Hurry up or you'll be late."

We rushed through breakfast and went our separate ways. We don't go to the same school. I don't even remember the name of my school. Pitiful aren't I?

"Ms. Caligo. You're late," Mrs. Hitomu greeted me.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Hitomu, I couldn't read all the signs," I apologized, which was half true. I didn't understand half of the signs that pointed in directions.

"You're excused this time but try to leave your house earlier."

One problem: I'm used to leaving my house. Keiko's place was further away from the school. "Yes, Ma'am."

School dragged onward after that. I barely paid attention, which is weird because I tend to pass my classes. Maybe it's because while I don't pay attention Solace does and she helps me afterwards. I waited for the hours to go by and finally we were set free. I mean, we were able to go home. I met Keiko along the way and she grabbed my arm while keeping her smile.

"What?"

"I want you to meet some of my close friends but first I need to go over to Kuwabara's," She told me and I raised an eyebrow.

"Why?"

"Because I need to get Shizuru."
"Who's that?" Don't I ask a lot of questions?

"His older sister. She's really cool. I think you'll like her," Keiko grinned. We arrived at Kuwabara's place and she knocked on the door. A girl with longer auburn hair and light brown eyes opened the door. Maybe they were related but this makes me wonder where Kuwabara gets his orange hair. The girl put on a slight smile.

"Hey Keiko."
"Shizuru, how are you?" Keiko beamed and moved out of my view. "This is Varia. Varia meet Shizuru."

"Hello, you're the one Kuwabara talks about," Shizuru eyed me.

"Eh.. He talks about me?"

"Just some new girl he said," Shizuru chuckled. Should I be worried?

"Don't freak out, Varia, he has a crush on this girl named Yukina," Keiko must have read my mind and I sighed in relief.

"So where is your brother?" Keiko asked.

"Upstairs doing his homework I hope."
"Hey, may I use the restroom?" I asked politely.

"Yea but you'll have to use the one upstairs. The downstairs is having plumbing problems." I nodded and climbed the stairs. The door was closed so I opened it only to reveal an almost naked orange haired male. I let out a very loud scream.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!"

And then he screamed at me. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Keiko slammed the door since I was too stuck to move. Apparently, she heard me from below.

I've gone blind! My poor virgin eyes! Celosia had swirls in her eyes.

Knock next time you idiot Hecate's face was burning red. Solace had covered Shiva's eyes and said "You're too young for this."

I went over my recent memories. I just saw Kuwabara in nothing but a towel. Yea, I was definitely going through shock.

"Are you okay Varia?" Keiko asked me and shook me. I made no response. Shizuru started to snap her fingers and I gazed up at her.

"She'll be okay," She said. Kuwabara came down a few minutes later. I was fiddling with my thumbs as Keiko and Shizuru were chatting.

"Sorry I didn't knock," I ordered myself not to blush.

"It's okay…. "

I went upstairs to use the restroom and locked the door. Don't want Kuwabara getting revenge now do we? I finished up and washed my hands. Keiko, Shizuru and Kuwabara were waiting for me at the door.

"Where we going now?" I asked.

"Going to visit Genkai and Yukina," Kuwabara grinned. Oh yea, Yukina is the girl he has a crush on.

"Who's Genkai?"

"An old friend of ours," Keiko answered and we left the building. We arrived to a temple looking thing. Keiko told me it was a shrine. Mind you I've never seen a shrine. I scanned the area. It was a nice place but it was near the woods. I could already feel my phobia creeping on me.

"Genkai should be somewhere," Kuwabara said.

"Keiko, Shizuru, Kuwabara!" A young female voice shouted and my head turned towards the noise. A girl with sea green hair and reddish eyes appeared. She held a smile on her face and the scent of winter surrounded her. I was getting chills just by her body odor.

"YUKINA!" Kuwabara yelled and I had to plug my ears with my fingers. I have very sensitive hearing. I watched as Kuwabara sprung from his position over to the maiden and shower her with love.

"My beloved Yukina and how are you?" Kuwabara asked. I winced seeing this scene. This was going to give me nightmares. So much for the ring.

"I'm fairing very well, Kazuma," Yukina tilted her head and smiled. Something about this chic reminded me of someone. Another lady opened the sliding doors and glared at us. Pink hair waved to her shoulders and sharp brown eyes seemed alert.

"I haven't seen you before," Yukina said and I gave her a greeting smile.

"Hi, my name is Varia Caligo," I introduced myself.

"I'm Yukina," She beamed at me and bowed. Oh right, I have to bow. I bowed back and regain my posture as the other lady came forward.

"What are you?" The elder asked me and I blinked. Huh, Human?

"What do you mean?"

"Your energy doesn't seem right. It's not as regular as the other female students I come across," She said and I gave out a nervous laugh.

"I sensed the difference as well," Kurama stated. Why is everyone gaining on me? Shizuru and Kuwabara tilted their heads in thought.

"Now that you mention it. She doesn't seem normal," Kuwabara muttered. This is how you're getting revenge eh?

Better make up something quick Celosia implied.

Like what? I ran out of lies I groaned.

"What are you talking about I'm perfectly normal," I defended myself.

"Well, she's not a demon," Yukina studied me.

"What are you guys blabbering about? She's fine!" Keiko said but even she seemed uncertain. Lovely. Was anybody listening to me?

"So how do you all know each other?" This would be my weak attempt of changing the topic. I cleared my throat.

"It's actually a long story," Kuwabara started. My weak attempt seemed to have worked and after an hour of explaining of how they knew each other I begun to understand the spirit detectives.

You know, spirit detectives seems like fun Celosia grinned and I growled. Automatically knowing what she was thinking.

Read my mind. Hell no I confirmed.

Awww come on. If we become spirit detectives then we can get closer to Hiei Shiva tried to persuade me.

You're the one with the crush on him. Not me I said.

It will help you train and control your powers Hecate informed me.

You're against me too! I uttered in disbelief.

I'm only in it so you can learn how to activate your powers without our help Hecate folded her arms. I turned to Solace for help.

I agree with them actually. This would help you a lot Solace smiled. I was on a losing battle.

Well, it's my decision and if I don't want to then I won't I retorted. I came back to reality only to come to face with the people staring at me in wonder. Keiko gave me a peculiar glance.

"Are you alright Varia? You've been out of it for five minutes," Keiko said. I really should pay more attention. I shifted my weight to my other leg.

"Yea, I'm fine. I was just in deep thought," I answered which was half the truth. I was in deep thought. More like in deep conversation.

"Well, come on. I'll make some tea," Yukina smiled at me.

She reminds me of you, Shiva Celosia mumbled.

Why? The veela child asked.

She's always smiling Hecate winced. We were invited inside and sat around a small table. Japanese people don't really like using chairs now do they? Yukina sat at my right and gave me a cup of tea. I sniffed it first. This is my first time having tea.

"Is it good?" I asked and she chuckled.

"Try it first."

I took my first sip and licked my lips. It was actually pretty good but I wasn't planning on asking her what type of tea it was. Who knows what it is but I knew if I found out I was eventually going to lose my taste for it. I watched the others converse amongst themselves. I'm not much of a chatterbox. A pale white hand waved in front of me and I turned to see Yukina.

"Hmm?"

"We already told you how we know each other but how did you come to know Keiko?" Yukina asked.

"I met Hiei while he was wounded," I answered.

"Oh! What did you do? Did you take him to a doctor?" Yukina's eyes lit up in concern. I shook my head.

"No, I just used the first aid kit," I lied. I've been dishonest a lot lately.

"You should have brought him to me. I have healing powers," Yukina placed her cup down. Now she definitely reminds me of Shiva. Kurama poked me on the shoulder and motioned me to come outside with him.

To go or not to go. That is the question Celosia narrowed her eyes.

Now is not the time for your philosophy Celosia Solace said. I followed the fox demon outside and waited for him to shut the door.

"What?"

"Koenma spoke to me yesterday. You're a soul redeemer aren't you?" He asked me and I tilted my head.

"If you know what I am then why do you always put me on the spot? I don't need Keiko or everyone knowing what I am," I frowned.

"You have the spirit of Shiva in there don't you?" He smirked.

"Yea so?"
"Hiei told me about her. He was close to the veela. Does she remember what she made him promise before she passed away?" He questioned.

"Hold on a second."

Hey Shiva, what's he talking about? I asked the child.

A promise … well I made him make promises all the time though he broke them Shiva thought for a while.

The last one. Not all of them Celosia rolled her eyes.

OH! It was to find his..HEY! Shiva suddenly gave out a loud shriek.

What! I snapped.

His twin sister! I told him to find his twin sister! Shiva exclaimed.

Oh..okay.. I was brought back to reality again when Kurama snapped his fingers in front of me.

"Well?"

"Yea she remembers. Why?"
"Yukina is Hiei's twin sister."

"But they look nothing and act nothing like, minus the eyes and height," I argued but Kurama just gave me a simple smile.

They could be fraternal twins Solace said.

True. Hecate nodded her head.

"So is that all you wanted me out here for?" I folded my arms.

"Yes, you can go back inside if you want."

"And what about you?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I have business to take care of. Tell everyone I had to go," Kurama replied and turned around to go down the stairs but then he stopped shortly.

"By the way, why is it that I smell Hiei's scent on you? Has he come by any time soon?" Kurama looked like he was making himself not grin but I could see the humor and mischief in his eyes. I mentally smacked and ordered myself not to blush.

"What are you talking about? I smell nothing like him."

"You're in denial."

"I am not."

Kurama laughed but said nothing in return. Instead he waved and climbed down the long stairs that led up to Genkai's temple.

Business to take care of he says Celosia mocked in a high pitched voice. To me it sounded squeaky.

Shut up Celosia. If I didn't know any better I'd say you actually like the fox I teased the pyromaniac spirit.

SAY WHAT! She blew up. The others and I laughed at her while she grew red in the face.

-2 Months later-

Hiei cut off the last intruder's head and wiped his sword using his cape. He sheathed his new blade and looked up to find Mukuro standing above him.

"What is it?"

"Nothing. I just like watching you work," The lady replied.

"Hn."

"It's been a while since you've last visited the human. Do you miss her?" Mukuro asked the fire sprite.

"Hn."

A smile played on the bionic woman's face. She knew he did just he wouldn't admit to it. He would check on the girl every so often while using his jagan eye. "Why don't you go see her Hiei?"

"Hn."

He was so good at making a conversation. She sighed and takes a few steps closer to her kingdom but then stops and turns to face him.

"Hiei, I have a job for you to do."

This caught his attention and he stared at her. Waiting for the order.

"There's been a riot in one of the demon cities near by. Find the trouble makers and get rid of them," She informed him.

"What city?"

"The City of Divs."

Hiei stood up and raced towards the city since he was determined to get this mission over with. Once he arrived to the city he sat on one the trees. He studied the demons that passed him and pondered over which one would actually cause trouble. An angry outburst went off signaling it was time to get involved and he ran towards the explosion. He stopped at the edge of the door to find a woman. She was glaring directly at him like she had somehow known that he was coming for her.

"You're the one causing disturbance?"

"Yes, and for one reason only. To get your attention," The female answered. Her hand moved away her long purple hair to reveal red eyes.

"Why?"

"You know a child named Varia, am I correct?" Her eyes narrowed. Hiei glared at her and wondered how she knew Varia. She smirked.

"No worries, I am not after her. I needed to warn you," She said. Hiei only answered her with his silence and she continued.

"She's in danger, Hiei. On August 2nd she will lose her powers and the spirits that have claimed her body as their vessel will be set loose," She told him, "Your enemy, Cyrus, knows of this time and will attack her. If she is left unguarded she will die."

"And how do you know this?" Hiei asked her.

"My name is Astera. I am the creator of Hecate. The first spirit that came to Varia," Astera smiled. "I will be waiting for my invention to come for me."

The woman disappeared and Hiei stared blankly at the spot where she was once standing. He ran back towards Mukuro's Kingdom and left a note stating that he will be back in a few days. With that he opened a portal to the human world and went looking for Varia.

Suntiger: Yup, the next chapters are going to have you close to peeing in your pants. Why? Because in my opinion they're hilarious.

Thanks to:

Raven: YAY! I just get hurt in the fic. No problem. I can handle pain.

Kitten: Yay, I kept him in character. I'm always wondering if I do or if I don't. I honestly don't know what I should do to the 'spirits' in Varia's head. Should I have leave or stay?

Peek-chan and her muses: I have to tell you something. When I was reading your review, I had busted out laughing. Loudly. My dad heard me and came to investigate. As soon as he saw that I was alone in his room, on the computer and laughing like a maniac he decided that I needed therapy. I'm glad that you enjoy this fiction. It's one of my favorites.

Hieisfiredemoness: I feel you. I have one too. I have a younger brother, a dad who likes to boot me off whenever he so pleases, and a mom. Yes, I have such wonderful dreams. As for the doctors, ahaha. They will never have me!

Wolf- Black-Flame: Okay, me waits for your update but tell me when you do. I tend to get absent minded and forget things. I'm on a role! –goes rolling down a hill- literally!

Silverdragon63: Yes, this will raise some questions. AHA! I'm glad you enjoyed my fiction. XD But you should the next few chapters. The 'spirits' are up to no good and Kurama has a few tricks up his sleeve.

Eternal Midnight: -shakes her- When do you plan on updating! You're going to have to tell me What OMFGJEKAD is. I know what the four first letters are then you lost me. Yes, His possessiveness gets worse over the chapters. –laughs-

Suntiger: Hecate you have a fan! And Varia you seem to be very well-known. Everyone is after you o.o

Hecate: -rolls her eyes-

Shiva: Oh come on now be pleased!

Celosia: I don't think she even cares.

Solace: -glares- you cause so much fricking trouble in the next few chapters that it's not even funny.

Varia: Will one of you kind reviewers please kidnap me? I need to get away from my mind invaders.

Suntiger: Should I put previews in my chapters? Oh yea one more thing. Should I let the mind invaders, as Varia has dubbed them, stay after the series or go to Spirit World? Or should I make a sequel to this or leave it alone? I think I should leave it alone. But I do plan on making a one-shot after this.

Suntiger: Oh yea, before I forget. Can anyone guess what kind of business Kurama meant? -grins evilly- If you can I'll give you something. I don't know what yet. You'll have to tell me.
