Chapter 2: If you go in backwards what will happen?


"Wait!" Koenma exclaims, "I'll pay you." He sighs with defeat. "I just really need you two to do this. I had a replacement for the past 18 years waiting for you two to be reborn and start regaining your powers."

They both stop,

"We have powers?" Megumi questions as she turns back around interested.

"Of course you do."

"Like what?" Kiyoshi asks again facing the tiny ruler,

"Well, I didn't keep a record of that. You'll have to find out for yourselves. Anyway, I know you probably don't remember how to use your powers. You obviously don't Megumi, what about you Kiyoshi?"
"I do not." She answers simply,

"Are you sure?" He questions doubting her, she sighs,

"Just this little party trick." She snaps her fingers, and large black feathered wings appear sticking out of her back, ripping the back of her coat. Snapping her fingers once again they disappear.

"That was neat! Will I be able to do that too?" Megumi asks excitedly,

"Of course, for every ability one of you has there is a counter or the same ability for the other." Koenma explains,

Yusuke and Kuwabara grow bored and start to leave,

"Oh hey Hiei didn't notice you came in." Yusuke says, the girls turn around to see a young man, with tall black hair, wearing a trench coat like thing and a white bandana on his head. He was leaning against the wall behind Megumi and Kiyoshi.

"You should be more alert detective." Hiei responds, opening his eyes and staring at Yusuke.

"Yeah, yeah I'll work on it. Later Koenma, and uh sorry we had to kidnap you girls." Yusuke apologizes as he and his friend leave to go do something more exciting.

"Let us make a note, Kiyoshi; to get revenge on Yusuke and Kuwabara." Megumi states,

"Agreed, once we learn our abilities they shall pay dearly." Kiyoshi responds,

"This is another reason I wanted to talk to you two. You cannot abuse you're powers for personal gain or—Hiei do you need something?" Koenma asks noticing he was still there.

"Hn" is his monosyllable response followed by, "That girl was lying, she knows more "party tricks" then she is saying" Hiei smirks to himself as Botan walks in.

"Koenma is it true? You finally found them?" She asks excitedly running up to his desk.

"I did" He responds,

"So I can take my vacation now?!" she jumps up and down hoping the answer would be yes. "I've been taking both their jobs for years now. I wonder where I should go. Maybe Hawaii? Yes Hawaii sounds nice I think I'm going to go and pa--" She starts rambling about her dream vacation with a huge smile, however she gets cut off.

"I'm sorry Botan, but you're still on duty until they regain all of their abilities." Koenma states. The young girl's smile drops, and she sighs. "Go back to work Botan, I'll notify you when your vacation starts." She sulks to the door,

"Yes sir." She mutters as she leaves.

"She took our jobs?" Kiyoshi asks trying to get the young ruler to forget what Hiei had said.

"Yes, though it was harder for her then it will be for you. She doesn't have your powers. Anyway, what was I saying?" He asks trying to regain his train of thought.

"That kid said something." Megumi says pointing to Hiei,

"Kid?" He repeats sourly, "If any one is a child here its you."

"Am not! I'm gonna be 18 in a few weeks sir!" Megumi protests,

"Now sir? Make up your mind you moron." Hiei responds,

"Well I don't know how old you are! You look like a kid by how short you are, but your voice is too deep to be a kid. And not to mention the weird aura surrounding you. What the hell are you?!" Megumi asks growing frustrated. Hiei just smirks even though he was just called short. Kiyoshi squints at Hiei, trying to see this "weird aura".

"Ahem, please I would like to end this quickly. I'm busy and have better things to do." Koenma states,

"If we are these… what'd you call it?" Kiyoshi asks,

"Guardians or better known as Angels of life and death, hence your wings." Koenma reminds,

"Yeah, if we are these guardians… are we human? Or not?" She questioned.

Koenma stared at her for awhile, pondering the question.

"Yes and no? I don't know such things! I'm going to finish telling you, telling you, oh poop! I forgot what I was saying!" Koenma pulls on his hat in frustration.

"This is better then work, I'm gonna stay here for awhile." Kiyoshi states looking at her watch,

"Oh That's right! You two will be staying on the 19th floor of the building that is where the living area is. And you will need to be trained and such to learn you're powers. And then you can do you're jobs." He explains. Megumi raises her hand, Koenma sighs, "Yes Megumi?"

"Do we get the whole floor to ourselves? What floor are we on right now? Do we get to go home and get things? How long are we going to be staying here?"
"No you are sharing the living area with Hiei and Kurama, and part time with Yusuke and Kuwabara. You're on the 50th floor right now. You may go and get a few things; I'll send someone with you to get back here. Forever." He answers all her questions in order.

"Forever?" Megumi questions wondering if she heard right.

"Yes. Now then, you're training will begin tomorrow morning. And I'll send Yusuke and Kuwabara with you to get some of your stuff." He states, however he notices the mischievous glint in their eyes. "I'm sure Yusuke and Kuwabara are busy, so Hiei isn't doing anything. Where is Kurama?" Koenma ask the demon.

"I'm not taking them to the human world." As soon as Hiei finishes his sentence, the door opens. Kiyoshi and Megumi look back, and see a young man, with long red hair and emerald green eyes, in a pink school outfit.

"Ah wonderful!" Koenma exclaims,

"Perfect timing fox." Hiei greets his friend.

"Perfect timing?" His friend questions,

"Kurama, Hiei, please escort these two to their homes to retrieve some of their personal items." Koenma

"I'm not babysitting little girls or going to human world." Hiei states as he heads for the door,

"Doing what I ask of you Hiei will get you out of here quicker." Koenma states, Hiei clenches his fists and turns around. "Thank you. Now then, here is a portal. That will be open until you get back." He states, pressing a button on his desk, a swirling vertex appears to the side of everyone, about 6 feet high.

"That doesn't look to safe." Megumi states,

"Safe or not I'm going." Kiyoshi says as she jumps in, Followed by Hiei. Megumi hesitates not knowing what would lay on the other side.

"It will be alright, I promise." Kurama says to her with a smile. Megumi walks up to the portal,

"I sure hope you're right." She closes her eyes and walks through, Kurama walks in after her.

On the other side they see Hiei, impatiently waiting for them. Kiyoshi was looking at the back of the portal,

"If you go in backwards what happens?" She asks,

"Who cares? Go get your stupid things and lets go. I hate being in human world." Hiei states,

"No please, share your real feelings with us." Megumi teases, she looks around seeing nothing but a forest surrounding them. "Well I'm lost."

"This can't be good. Neither of you know where your homes are located?" Kurama asks,

"I know where we are." Kiyoshi speaks up,

"Then go already!" Hiei yells getting fed up with "babysitting" Kiyoshi glares at Hiei,

"Do shut up, you're becoming very annoying. Anyway, I believe we are in the wooded area in front of our school, Megumi." Kiyoshi explains,

"Great, which way is out?" Megumi asks,

"Forward." Kiyoshi answers, the three of them start to walk off, Hiei stood there shocked that Kiyoshi called him annoying, "If any body here is annoying it's her." He thinks,

"Hiei are you coming?" Kurama stops to ask, the girls stopping as well.

"Hn you can take care of this yourself fox. I'll stay here." Kiyoshi getting fed up with his attitude, walks up to Hiei,

"Didn't you hear the baby? If you listen to him you leave, and the sooner you leave the better!" Kiyoshi says grabbing his hand to drag him along. However, as soon as she touches him she lets go just as quickly, staring at her hand in shock.

"Hn" Hiei ignores her and walks on ward, wanting to get this over with as soon as possible, Kiyoshi follows slowly.

They all make it out of the forest, and find the school in front of them. Kurama faces Megumi,

"Now then, you know the way to your home right, Miss…" he realizes he doesn't know Megumi's name,

"I'm Megumi. It's nice to meet you Kurama right?" Megumi smiles, "And I do know."

"That's a lovely name." He complements, "Shall we go then?" Kiyoshi and Hiei stare at the two disgusted.

"K well I'm gonna go to my house and get some of my stuff now." Kiyoshi states,

"Oh yes, Hiei why don't you go with, with…" Kurama says not knowing her name,

"Kiyoshi. But I don't want him to come with me, he's annoying. I'd rather you come with me" She grabs Kurama's arm pulling him with her, "Hiei can go with Megumi."

"I don't want Hiei to come with me, he's a shrimp!" Megumi protests grabbing Kurama's other arm, however she lets go suddenly.

"Hn" was all Hiei had to say as he looked away angrily at the ground, despite the insults given to him.

"We should let Kurama decide." Megumi suggests, Kiyoshi lets go of Kurama.

Kurama regains his composure and dusts himself off,

"Well Hiei, you sure seem to be popular with women." Kurama jests, Hiei rolls his eyes at the fact that his friend was making fun of him for something he didn't care about.


A/N: Oh my, it's a complete mystery on who Kurama will choose, isn't it?

Surely both of them will be able to get to their homes and back with out any problems right? Please review
