Disclaimer: No, I do not own nor did I create any of the Yu Yu Hakusho characters, I only own Aiko, and my other characters that come up.

Authors Note: I am sorry for the way I left you all on my last chapter, but it was long and well I thought it was a pretty good spot to end it. Oh and I don't remember Koenma's dad's name so I refer to him as the king a lot. Yea I know its sad, but hay I haven't seen the show in a long time. On with the story.

The Lost Soul

Chapter III

Scars and the Past


By now the YYH gang were questioning the scar on Aiko's back. Aiko seemed to notice this but said nothing. She was trying to figure out what to say when Kurama said something.

"I hope you don't mind us being here, but you see we were sent to get you. You have been summoned by the king of Spirit World. If that makes any scene to you." his sweet feminine voice startled Aiko at first.

"So they finally found me. It took them long enough to do that." she said with a slight attitude to it.

"Wait so you knew that we were coming?" a confused Kuwabara asked.

"In a way I did, but I didn't think that he would send young one such as yourselves to get me." replied Aiko, not looking up.

Just then a knock made them all jump. "Oh, please have a seat while I get the door." then she left to answer the door.

After walking over to the door the booming knock came again and Aiko got agitated. "I'm on my way!" she yelled to the door, when it came again Conn started to growl a deep and frightful growl. "Wait a sec. Oh no. Guys we have to go I'm sorry I will explain later." she said walking away from the door and into her bedroom.

She was trembling and going through her closet at the same time and the pounding just continued. She grabbed a purple thong and matching bra, a black spaghetti strap tank with a red dragon on it, and a pair of tight hipster blue jeans with no pockets. Then she called to the boys and they came in, looking confused.

"Grab on to me. You have to be touching me. Conn, come on we got to go." they all did as told to and Conn touched her leg with his nose. "Ok, ready hold on."

Then they all disappeared. Then the next thing they knew, they were in spirit world, In a bedazzled looking Koenma's office.


"Yea, I know Koenma, but we had to leave at that moment."

"And why is that, Lady Aiko?" a baby said upset.

"Because, because of my own reasoning's." Aiko said pissed off.

"He was there wasn't he? Aiko you of all people know that you can't run from your fears," he said back in a concerned voice.

"I'm not scared of him I loath and despise him and never want to see him again!!!" she yelled and stormed out of the room, leaving behind a room of confused people.

"What's that about Koenma?" Yusuke asked.

"Aiko has a very rough past. Nobody really knows about it but her. She hasn't shared that with even my father. Oh no. My father. If I know Aiko then she will be headed towards my father." Koenma shuddered at the thought of his fathers wrath.

"Stupid. Thinks he knows everything." Aiko muttered waiting outside of the Kings office still holding up her towel.

An odd looking creature came out of the King's office and said, "Aiko, the King will see you now."

"Well it's about time." Aiko said and walked through the throne room doors.

"Aiko. It's been along time…" He was cut short by Aiko.

"Why has Raiden not been caught yet?" Aiko demanded.

"Well my dear. You see he hasn't been found yet." he said.

"Damn it. He was right outside my door when I left to come back home. Father, it shouldn't be that hard to find him. He's only one of the most powerful demons in all three worlds," she said while walking up to the king, her father.

"Yes I know. But its not as easy as you might think. You remember all those years ago...how hard the job was, before your little brother, Koenma, took it over." he said while hugging his beloved daughter.

"Yea, but I actually got the jobs that were assigned to me done, and properly." the delicate voice of the princess said.

"But Koenma is still young. He hasn't had his big sister, or his big brother there for him most of his ruling, and so he is confused and has had to learn things on his own." he said, looking into his daughters eyes now.

Aiko had nothing to say. Her head was filled with images of her big brother who was separated from her when she took rule of Spirit World from him. The images she was seeing were of her happy days, when she knew who she was and what to do at all times of her life. When her brother disappeared, before he left he put an enchantment on his family that mad it to where nobody remembered him. But Aiko remembered everything, she remembered him leaving and barley saying goodbye, and she remembered all the hurt when her father and her little brother could not remember him.

She spent all of her time when she was in rule looking for a way to get her family to remember her adored brother. She found a way about 25 years later, and 5 years too late. In the end she got Koenma and her father to remember him, but they didn't know his face or his name, and, neither did she. She had forgotten her blood brother, everything about him, except the way he left her. After he left things, for Aiko started going down hill. Her father had told her that she needed to take the rule that her brother was supposed to have, then she lost her memory of him, and then she decided to leave to for Nengenkai. She was going to look for her brother and herself.

Aiko never found herself nor her brother, only a life of pain. She got a job at a strip club, and had fun dancing, but not with all the people, and met a powerful demon. Aiko and Raiden had gotten involved, but never got to deep. Aiko wouldn't allow him to go all the way. All Aiko was seeing in her mind now was her consequences for never giving it up to him. Her body was never permanently scared or marked in anyway, so Raiden wanted to get a little harder and meaner. He finally broke not only her body, but her soul as well.

The tiny scar on her back, was from the torment of him, her constant reminder that she was not so easy or weak as he had always said. Before anymore images could flash before her there was a knock on the huge doors and someone walked in.

"Yes." the king's voice startled her at first.

"The demon you asked for has been escorted to your throne room." said a small troll.

"Good. Good. Have him lead in." was his reply.

What Aiko saw was unexpected, the demon she had in her bed last night was now being pushed into her father's throne room.

"Father…" she got cut off.

"Hiei, The Forbidden Child, what were you doing last night?" rather than asking, the king demanded to know.

"Hn." was all the stubborn demon said.

"Very well. Have him sent away to…" now he got cut off.

"No father. This demon was with me last night and was causing no problems." Aiko spoke up.

"And just what was he doing with you?" he asked walking over to her.

"Koenma sent the spirit detectives to get me last night and Hiei is a detective, so he, along with the rest of them were with me." her voice surprised everyone in the room.

"EVERYONE LEAVE." nobody needed to be told twice they all scrambled out, except for Hiei, he simply walked out.

After a few moments of silence, the king finally spoke.

"Aiko, I know exactly what happened last night. The Spirit Detectives called and did not know where Hiei was. What I want to know is why?"

"Well I'm not sure why it happened, but your not going to punish him." she said after a few moments.

"Very well." he said, Aiko had always gotten her way with her father, and she knew it.

"Now we do have a lot of things to talk about, but I have a ton of stuff to do. I have to get you back in rule…" he was once again cut off by his young daughter.

"No. I'm not going back into rule. If you wish to punish me then put me to Koenma's will." Aiko said with no emotion.

"Aiko I need you back here, things have been going well but the only thing Koenma will use you for is…" he thought about this for a moment. "Yes. Great idea Aiko. You and I both know that he will put you on the detective team. Very well. And Hiei is not to be punished to severely. Only to be on the team longer." with that he clapped his hands and the doors opened.

Everyone came back in the room and then the king said what was to be done with Hiei. They all got to work on the papers that needed to be done. Then Aiko was dismissed and she mentally told Hiei to follow her. He was hesitant at first, but then not wanting to cause anymore problems, followed her.


Yea I know it's a short chapter but the next one will be out with in the next week or two. Well review and tell me how I'm doing so far. It would have been longer but I have to go down state and I don't have a comp down there, so sorry about the short chapter.
