Chapter 14
Hiei gasped, "You are a Silver Fox?"
Kirana laughed. She knew this what not what he had meant, but she was in a fully demon form, so she hoped no one would ask.
"Kirana! That is not what he meant! If you don't follow the rules I will call you out myself!" Youko said forcefully.
"And I will be forced to kick your ass before it is your time," Kirana threatened.
"Kirana! NOW!" Youko said.
"NO!" Kirana yelled back.
Finally Hiei caught on, "This is not your full demon form is it?"
"No, it's not," Kirana said.
"What are you scared," Hiei taunted.
"No," Kirana said.
"I think you are. I think the little girl is afraid that her full demon form is no match for mine. However, I am curious as to how you and Youko know each other. Maybe if you tell me I will let you go," Hiei taunted.
"You don't scare me," Kirana whispered.
"Then prove it," Hiei said.
"FINE!" Kirana yelled.
Once more Kirana focused her power. She knew how they would react. She knew the word she would hear from the Reikai Tantei. And she knew that she would never be accepted by them. She knew that by transforming she was blowing her last chance, but she was mad now. She would teach Hiei to say she was a coward.
Opening her eyes she saw the look of surprise on Hiei's face, then she removed the warding cloth from her Jagan and saw the look increase.
"Happy now! I hope so. And I hope you are not so scared to lose to me that you won't fight. That would be a real disappointment," Kirana taunted the shocked Hiei.
"Take off the cloak," Hiei commanded.
"Very well, however you will regret that command the minute I take it off," Kirana said.
She reached up and untied the tie at the neck of the cloak. Then she took it off and threw it off the platform where she would be fighting. All the boys gaped at her. She knew the outfit was tight and that her body had developed into something that would rival any full siren in existence.
"I ask again, are you happy now?" Kirana asked.
"I think it is time to fight onna. And I will tell you that I will not go easy on you," Hiei said forcing his eyes off Kirana's body and on to her eyes.
Then the battle was in full force once again. No one could keep up with the pace of the battle. Both demons were so fast that even King Enma lost track of what was happening. Then just as suddenly as it hadstarted it was over. Hiei had lost. There was a small amount of blood on his stomach and King Enma declared the winner to be Kirana.
"I want my turn. Surely after whipping Hiei she won't haveas much of an aura and I can take her," Yusuke said cockily.
"You are more than welcome to try your luck, but I warn you I will not go easy on you," Kirana said in his mind.
"Good, because I would hate to feel obligated to do the same," Yusuke said in reply.
He jumped up on top of the dial where Hiei had stood. He began to draw his aura around him and Kirana did the same. Her aura was a sea green and had crackles of lightening mixed in. She was not even trying and her aura was forcing Yusuke's to stay on one half of the platform.
"Enough of play time, it's time for me to get serious," Kirana said.
Suddenly in a burst of energy Yusuke was thrown off the platform. Once again King Enma declared the winner to be Kirana. Kuwabara's turn was next. He climbed on top of the dial as two of his teammates had done. He allowed his spirit sword to form, and Kirana forced her energy to form a katana similar to the normal one she wielded. Then she waited. Kuwabara did nothing. Neither one moved. Youko knew this would be the tough one. Kuwabara did not want to fight the girl, but he also knew she could not make the first move.
"What are you waiting for?" Kirana said frustrated.
"You," Kuwabara answered.
"You, dimwit, fight me!" Kirana said.
Kuwabara was just confused. They stood there for about five minutes and then Kirana turned her attention to King Enma.
"I can't do anything if he won't cooperate. You know I can't make the first move it will go against my koorime instincts, I have to be protecting myself or my friends!" Kirana said to the king.
"Kuwabara come talk to me and Kirana maybe you should fight Genkai before Kuwabara," King Enma suggested.
All three persons nodded and Kuwabara jumped down as Genkai jumped up. Kirana did not know what to expect from the master.
"Martial arts, with Rei, first to strike a punch that will land their opponent outside the ring wins. Sound ok to you?" Genkai asked.
"That is fine with me Master Genkai," Kirana said.
"Say it out loud so they all can hear you," Genkai commanded.
"We heard her, Grandma," Yusuke said.
"I would, but my vocal chords do not work the same in this form, Master Genkai. However I was careful to make sure my words reached all minds present. Will that be ok with you, Master Genkai?" Kirana asked politely.
Genkai nodded, and both bowed. The fight was on. Again Kirana held back for a small amount of time, but again she used a large amount of energy and knocked Genkai out of the arena that had been set up with the older woman's Rei.
"That was a good fight. You are a good student. Whoever taught you did well," Genkai praised the younger girl.
"Thank you very much, Master Genkai," she answered.
"You have earned the right to drop the master and just call me Genkai," the older woman said kindly.
"Thank you Genkai," Kirana said bowing slightly.
Just then Kuwabara jumped back up into the ring. Again he drew his spirit sword, and again Kirana made a katana out of her spirit energy. They waited for about a minute when Kuwabara made the first strike. This fight took much less time than any of the others for Kirana blocked Kuwabara's first attack and drew blood on the man's stomach in the same swing. It was over, and for the fourth time that day King Enma proclaimed Kirana to be the victor.
Next it was Kurama's turn. Kirana could not wait to show up her brother. She knew she was stronger than he was, much stronger than he was. She was sincerely hoping that they would use their usual rules, and that Kurama would explain them.
Kurama jumped up on the dial, knowing that even Youko stood no chance against the younger demoness. He also knew that he would have to explain the rules of the battle mode they chose to use, because he would use this opportunity to make her use the whip.
"Same method as usual?" Kurama asked his sister.
"Under one condition, I tell them who I am," Kirana said only to her brother.
"Very well," Kurama said, knowing that she would tell them who she was before the fight.
Kirana changed into her fox demon form, knowing that in that form she would be able to speak to them all out loud.
"Before we start this little escapade, I believe you all have the right to know who has beaten you all today. As I'm sure even the dimmest of you has guessed I am Kirana. And as only the most intelligent of you has assumed I know Youko. As I am sure you are all asking yourselves right now how I know Youko, I will tell you. I am his half sister, Youko Kirana. We share the same father," Kirana told the Reikai Tantei.
They all looked at Kurama. He knew he would have to explain why he had not told them about her, but for now he wanted to get the fight with his sister over with.
"The mode of battle we use is different than most. Kirana will choose my form and weapon and I will choose hers. Kirana after you," Kurama said.
"Youko form, rose whip," Kirana said defiantly.
Kurama nodded and transformed, then said, "Full form, rose whip."
Kirana nodded and changed back to herfull demonform smirking to herself. Little did Kurama know she had known this would happen and so had been practicing. Before he could disarm her quickly, and would usually win. But with all the practice she had had the last few months, she knew she could beat him quickly.
Both demons stepped forward and summoned their whips. At a signal only they knew Youko cracked his whip towards her. She jumped away quickly and used her whip to disarm him. Then she wrapped the whip around his body and he couldn't move. Once more King Enma claimed Kirana the victor. She retracted her whip and was about to jump off the stage when Youko said something to her.
"You held back earlier,"
Whipping around to face him she glared, "Held back! Held back when!"
"When you were fighting Hiei. Admit it you went easy on him," Youko said hoping that Hiei would want to fight again.
She had gone easy on Hiei, but she didn't want everyone to know it. However from the look in Hiei's eyes he wanted to fight her again. She knew that she would if he asked, but until then they would all have to wonder.
"You held back huh? Well how about we try again and this time fight me for real," Hiei said.
"Suit yourself. Same rules as before?" Kirana said the last part so that everyone could hear.
"Yes, Kirana same rules," Youko said.
Both demons nodded and jumped back to the middle of the platform drawing their weapons. Hiei had noticed that every time Kirana fought she would not make the first move so he decided to wait for a few minutes and see if his theory was correct. So they waited. Neither one making the first move.
"What's the matter Hiei? Scared of a little girl?" Kirana taunted.
"No trying to decide why you will not make the first move. You haven't all morning. You have always waited and let your opponent make the first move. I haven't decided if you are scared or polite, or even if you need to wait for some reason," Hiei's voice rang in her head.
"That is none of your business. Perhaps you should make the move and find out," Kirana pointed out.
Finally Hiei made the first move. Kirana did the same thing to Hiei that she had done to Kuwabara. In one fluid motion she blocked Hiei's attack and drew blood on his stomach. For the final time that day Kirana was declared the winner.
"Well, what do you all think? Does she have a place in the Reikai Tantei?" King Enma asked them.
"She kicked my ass, I say she is in," Yusuke said calmly.
"I agree," Kuwabara said.
"I think she has great potential, and I would love to train her for the team. Plus I think she would be a good influence on them," Genkai said with a smile.
"Hn, I would rather fight with her than against her," Hiei said seemingly indifferent.
"No, she will only get hurt and distract everyone fighting," Youko said. "Does my counterpart get a vote also?"
"Yes, he is a part of the team too," King Enma answered.
"I do not think it would be wise to have a woman on the Reikai Tantei, like Youko said she would be a distraction," Kurama said not looking at his sister.
"Four votes against two, that means I'm in right?" Kirana asked.
"Yes, Kirana that means you are in," King Enma answered.
Kirana changed back to her human form and asked the girls if they wanted to help her pack. They said yes and that is when Kirana noticed the pretty ice apparition. She hadn't said anything before, and so Kirana didn't know anything about her. She led all three girls to her room where Botan stood waiting to hear what had happened.
"Well? What happened? Are you in?" Botan asked Kirana before she was even in the room.
"Yes, I did it!" Kirana answered and ran to give Botan a hug.
"Kieko, Yukina, Shizuru! What are you guys doing here?" Botan asked.
"We are helping Kirana pack," the little ice apparition answered.
"I'm sorry, but who is who? I'm afraid I don't know," Kirana said quietly.
"I'm Yukina," the ice maiden said.
"I'm Kieko. Yusuke is my fiancé and if he ever does anything just let me know and I will kick his ass, or you can. You did such a good job of it earlier," the shorter of the two dark haired girls said.
"I'm Shizuru. Kuwabara Shizuru. And no I'm not married to the dumbass. He's my brother," the last girl said.
"Well, it is nice to meet you all," Kirana said. "And I can pack on my own I just wanted to get to know you all better. I hope you don't mind."
"Of course we don't. We are all curious about you too," Yukina said.
So all five girls set about packing andtalking. Then they all went back out to where the boys were standing around talking and when they saw all the bags that she had they all sweatdropped.
Youko rolled his eyes, "Well if we don't help them they will never get those bags out of Reikai."
"I can carry them all, and you know it," Kirana retorted.
"Fine then carry them all," Youko said and turned away.
Yusuke, and Kuwabara each took four bags a piece. Yukina, Shizuru, Kieko, and Botan each took two. While Hiei and Kirana each picked up six a piece. They were carrying them through Reikai when a few voices rang out a taunt that had Kirana cringing.
"Hey, Mutt where are you going? Are you finally leaving? Good now the whole palace won't smell like mutt. Maybe King Enma finally got sick of her and is kicking her out. That would be nice," the voices followed her for a long while.
Kirana tried to ignore them, because she was walking next to Hiei, and she didn't want him to know how badly they were hurting her. She would not let those tears fall. She bit her lower lip trying not to cry. She bit down so hard her lip started to bleed, but nothing worked. Two tears fell to the ground.
"What are you not telling us?" Hiei said in her head.
