Golden eyes watched the room spin before her eyes as she grabbed ahold of the doorknob that was within her reach. She was more tired than she has ever been in a while. It felt more like being drained of energy than anything. Then at that moment, it hit her. She remembered the entire thing with the necklace and trying to see if she could transform into a body that was more suitable and worthy of herself. And then she was out cold on the wooden floor. That was all that she could remember from that time being. But the question that still rang in her mind was whether or not it worked. She was in desperate need to feel a bit normal for once even for most of her life, since she seemed to get used to the 'abnormal' label that had been placed on her even though she knew it was the truth. After all, living within the body of a child for centuries could actually give that impression.

Grabbing ahold of the doorknob, you pull yourself up without falling back down, but as you are doing so, you notice something strange yet shocking. The hand on the doorknob was not that you your own, I mean it was but not . . . . . . small, but the average size of a teenage girl.

"Wow, so Koenma was right, the necklace really does give me an average body. Well this is good news to me. Now I can at least be free for once." You look up and down at the mirror, still shocked at your new appearance and the surprisingly new voice. It was then that you noticed the clothing that was covering your body. You were wearing what appeared to be a black mandarin dress with a stunning aray of floral patterns. Oddly enough, you felt more than relaxed with the feel of the fabric against your skin. Never before within your time had you actually felt such tranquility with something so femanine. True that the dress that you had put on before you tied the necklace around your neckline was not of your free will, there was nothing else that you could possible wear. But this time, it just felt . . . . . . . . . right. "And wear clothes that I might actually except."

After the long look in the mirror, you began to turn the doorknob and leave. But while doing so, you felt the presence of someone else on the other side. At first you thought that it was you imagination, but after removing your hand from the knob, the door opened on it's own revealing a shocked looking Shuichi.

His eyes were full of curiousity and worry as he took in your appearance. He knew not of who you were, but knew that you were not supposed to be there. Narrowing his eyes at you, he spoke with pure coldness. "Who are you and why are you here?"

You knew that you could not tell him the truth, so it was up to you to create an alibi and to wait and see if he were to buy it. Some of it would be considered truth when it can down to it though.

"Hiraani Soleil; I am a replacement for Botan if you must know. She wanted me to look after the child since she was called for." Giving him the information, you felt a tad bit releaved. "If you do not believe me, then contact her yourself. Both her and Koenma would be very happy to give you my entire life's story. And do not worry about the little girl; she's still upstair, but sleep from the lack of energy that swept over her as well as the medicine that I provided for her. She will be fine, just a bit of R & R will do. Then she will be back to her self. Is there anything else that you wish to know?" A smile was plastered against your lips as you watched him contemplate your actions. His emerald eyes were scanning the room as well as observing you. But you could tell that he believed you even if he was not completly aware of your actions.

"Uh, no."

"Well since you are back, I guess that I should be leaving. It was nice speaking with you, Youko Kurama." Opening the door, you decided to take your leave and figure out a way to create a younger 'you'.

"How is it that you know who I am, but yet I know nothing of you?"

"Remember, I am not of this world Kurama. But if you must know, I also keep a close eye on the deaths of many." You spoke as you turned back around to face him. "And besides that fact, I think that I am starting to creep you out as well. So leaving might be the best thing for both of us, since I don't wish for my aura to give you a bad sign."

"Wait, you do not have to leave. After all it would be rude for me to kick you out when you were taking care of Oriole."

"But-" You were honestly shocked by his actions. You knew that he was nice, but this was just out of the question.

"I can tell that you have good intentions. Your aura may very well be quite powerful, but it does not seem to take on a threatening one." A smile crossed his face as he approached your figure.

"Fine, I will stay. But not for long. When or if Botan returns, I will be leaving later. I have some important things to accomplish and need to begin them soon.

On the edge of his chair, Koenma watched as you wittingly out smart the one and only 'Youko Kurama'. Never before would he have thought that this could ever happen. Even with the wits that you had, he did not think that it was possible. But as this was though, a smile made it's way across his face. Maybe this could work out better than he thought. His very own spirit detective couldn't out smart a girl whom was his own private detective.

"Koenma Sir, don't you think that we should be worried about Oriole not being a child anymore? And with Kurama already inside of the house, he will eventually go to check on her and find that she is gone."

He had not thought of that problem yet. The only thing that was running through his mind was the fact that you had fooled Kurama. Now he had to do something within the next few minutes before he had decided to check on her, when she would obviously not be there. This was now a definate problem. "George!"
