A Few Minor Surprises

When Andrea came back to consciousness Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara were gone. Yusuke had had a date with Keiko and Mukuro had called Hiei. No one knew why Kuwabara had left but most thought it was to go see Yukina.

She was in a mostly bare room that only had a cot and a chair. Kurama sat in the chair looking more bored than worried. His demon senses had given him no signs that she was in any danger at all. In fact they told him that she was simply in a deep sleep. She was merely overwhelmed from a long day full of surprises and jetlagged from the long flight across several time zones.

"So you're finally up." Said Kurama as Andrea opened her sparkling blue eyes.

"How long have I been out?" asked Andrea as she sat up on the bed, running a hand through her loose brown hair.

"You've only been out a few hours…You were exhausted, "said Kurama, easing himself out of the chair and stretching.

Andrea's next question was, "It seems the guys left. Did anything else happen while I was out?"

"Yes, it was decided that Hiei should train you in your newfound abilities as soon as he's done running an errand for Lady Mukuro. She's..." was as far as Kurama got before Andrea interrupted.

"I know who Mukuro is. That was part of what I told Botan on the way here and she told me everything that she knew and I didn't. Weren't you listening?"

"I was too busy keeping Hiei from killing Yusuke to listen, but if Botan told you then you probably know more than enough on that subject."

"Well, what you were doing was most certainly more important then listening to me and Botan talking about something you already know. So when and where will Hiei be training me?"

"Koenma wanted to tell you that before we go back to the Ningenkai. Could you tell me more about this fanfiction? From what I heard between you and Botan, you seemed reluctant to bring it up."

Andrea said," That's because most of what I read includes graphic romantic encounters between two or more…boys. Also in nine out of ten Yu Yu Hakusho fanfics have plot-lines that are full of you and your friends falling in love with each other."

"They write that?" asked a very shocked fox.

Andrea's blush deepened as she replied, "I could show you what I mean on the internet when we get back to your place."

"That sound good, but I have one last question for now. What are the pairings? Youko wants to know."

"…Well I've a list in my purse that has all the pairings I've seen in Yu Yu Hakusho fanfiction and how many times I've seen that pair in a well-written fanfiction." Said Andrea as she pulled a piece of paper out of her bag and handed it to Kurama.

Kurama stared at the piece of paper for what seemed to be hours before he looked up at Andrea and said, "These people must be idiots. If they knew anything about Keiko they wouldn't have paired her up with anyone. She's colder than ice when it comes to that stuff. She won't even let Yusuke kiss her let alone touch her. But I'll tell you more about that later. I need to get you to Koenma so we can get out of here."

Kurama led Andrea back to Koenma's office where as expected the Prince of Death was swamped with paperwork Botan, who sat on the corner of Koenma's desk, rose and greeted Andrea and Kurama as they entered the room.

"Did you have a nice nap, Andrea?" asked Botan, her amethyst eyes twinkling.

"Pretty good. That is considering how it started. It's just weird. The only thing that could happen that would be weirder would be if one of the dimensions that prophecy said I would go to had my brother, Vegeta, in it." Said Andrea.

"I thought your brother was dead. Besides my record says his name was Floyd not Vegeta."

"Well I spent a few years in an alternate dimension and Vegeta adopted me as his little sister. He was a good brother and protected when he could. He's also the reason why I returned to this dimension." Said Andrea.

"Why is that?" asked Kurama.

"Let's just say that in that dimension there are creatures who can make an `upper S Class' demon look pathetically weak. There were people Vegeta couldn't protect me from. But that's enough of that. Do you know what Koenma wanted to tell me, Botan?"

"He wanted to tell you that his father wants you and Kurama to join him for lunch tomorrow. King Enma will give you the details himself."

A moment later, after saying goodbye to Botan, Andrea and Kurama left. A short while after that they were once again in Andrea's bedroom. Andrea sat at the computer and Kurama stood in front of her while she placed a floppy disk into the right spot on the computer tower and opened up a fanfic named "Feeding Ground" by VLG. Kurama burst into laughter several times as he read the fanfiction. Andrea did not pay any attention to that laughter. She pulled out a cell phone and called and old friend. Kurama listened to her end of the phone call not knowing that she had expected him to do so.

"Hello, Seto".… "Yeah, the flight went well. Thanks for getting the tickets upgraded to first class as a surprise"..… "How are you and Mokuba?"… "That's good. I'll have to tell him how impressed I am at the party on Friday."… "Then could you tell him for me."… "Sure, we'll be ready by then."… "I'll see you then. Bye."

She put the cell phone in her pocket and pulled out her deck. Kurama turned to look at her, an unasked question in his eyes.

"That was just my friend Seto. He wanted me to call him to tell how the flight went. Probably would have sent my message with my Dark Magician but the last time I did that his secretary freaked and it took a month for him to find a suitable replacement. Seto is quite particular about who he hires."

"Where does this Seto work?"

Andrea stared at him in disbelief for a moment before a look of understanding crossed her face. "I never did tell you his last name did I? Seto is the CEO of Kaiba Corp. Oh and that reminds me the party got moved back by an hour. Seto is interviewing a new secretary."

Just then Kurama's cell phone rang. Andrea didn't bother to listen to his side of the conversation. She focused her attention on her cards. A few moments later she realized that Kurama was staring at her and that his emerald-green eyes were wide with shock. He had put the cell phone away.

"I'm guessing that you're the person that Seto moved the party back to interview." Began Andrea as her cell phone rang. It was Seto Kaiba.

Once again Kurama listened to Andrea's side of the conversation.

… "Hello Seto. Whatcha want?"… "Oh, he can make it. That's good"… "You'll never believe this but the guy your interviewing for the job as your secretary is the pen-pal I'm staying with. I think this one won't startle as easily as the last one. Earlier Yami sent his Dark Magician to check up on me. Most likely because Yugi was worried. Kurama didn't freak out or startle at its sudden appearance. He did, however; ask a few questions."… "Really."… "That's good."… "See ya at the party. Bye."

Kurama had recovered from his shock by this point in time and was full of questions by the time that Andrea's conversation with the CEO of Kaiba Corp. ended. She headed those questions off. "I'll tell the story of how I met him at the party so that everyone can hear it at the same time. Right now I have to send a message to Yami before Yugi gets worried again."

Kurama watched in fascination as Andrea summoned a creature that was nearly identical to the one he had seen earlier. There was one difference, This Dark Magician wore red robes instead of the purple worn by Yami's Dark Magician. "What is it you wish of me, My Lady?" asked the Red Dark Magician.

"Go to the Pharaoh's hikari and tell him that the flight from the U.S.A. to Japan went well and that I will tell him more when I see him at the party. Tell the Pharaoh that the three friends I am bringing to the party may be radiating demonic power, but that he is not to worry. They can be trusted." Then there was a pause before Andrea continued. "If you want to you may visit your brother before going back to the Shadow Realm."

The Red Dark Magician bowed and vanished into thin air. Andrea tuned back to Kurama.

"Did you like the fanfiction?"

"Some of it was quite imaginative, but for the most part way off. Demons are not shy at all about sex or mating. In fact it is commonly used as a method to strengthen bonds between allies and in families. Though I must say that in the case of the Reikai Tentai we have not used that method, yet. Hiei and I have discussed it, but have made no decisions on the matter."

When Andrea did not respond, Kurama changed the subject.

""Have you had any training?"

"Just a small amount. I can with a little effort sense the power levels of those near me. I can also fly, heal small wounds, and use relatively weak ki-blasts. Vegeta tried to teach me the basics of fighting but he was way too busy with his own training and other, more important, things to give me more then a few lessons."

"Have you even tried to look at my power level?"

"No. Do you want me to?"

"Why not try?"

Andrea closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them they were clouded with confusion.

"I'm more powerful then you thought I'd be?"

"No. I expected you have a much higher power level then you have. But, then again, I shouldn't have expected you to be as powerful as Raditz let alone Vegeta."

Once again Kurama was shocked. "How could he be that much more powerful? Demons don't come much more powerful then I."

"I never said he was a demon. Vegeta is a Saiyan. To be specific he is the Prince of Saiyans. He is extremely powerful, extremely fast, and there are very few of any species that are stronger." Said Andrea as she yawned..

"You sound tired… Good night." Said Kurama as he got up and left Andrea's room to ponder the meaning of what she had said.
