They were all ready for an attack…that was...until...the whole group saw the one’s face.

He was a bit older than the others, but he did carry a great resemblance towards both Koenma and Botan. The other was a girl with sharp eyes; one was a blue and the other a green, she also had shoulder-blade lengthened tanish hair with a bow and some arrows slung diagonally across her back.

“There’re more?” Keiko sounded dejected.

“Seems to be.” Genkai calmly remarked.

Kya looked up a bit surprised, “Boen? Gan?” she blinked.

“Are you…in-sane?” Boen hissed; beside himself with fury. “What exactly where you hoping for? Sending them like that? If Takaru had-”

Snap.

“Do you mind?” Boen hissed at the collected woman who had interrupted his charade with a simple snap of her slim fingers.

“Perhaps you should...ah…notice...a few things before you disgrace yourself further.” She had calmly closed her eyes and finished with a straight face.

Boen’s right eye narrowed. “Disgrace myself?” he muttered harshly; Gan slowly opened her eyes, looking at him form the corners.

“It wouldn’t be the first.” Kya murmured, making a jolt go through the prince’s body, the other prince, that is.

Snickers.

Said prince turned to glare down at the infuriating female hybrid, when he did he ended up noticing what Gan had been trying to tell him and, of course, the inevitable “Oooooohhhhh rrriiiigggghhhhht.” came out.

Standing, Kya folded her arms and scoffed. “Imbecile.”

“How was I supposed to know?”

“It’s called assuming.”

“Yeah? Well, that’s why I came! I assumed something had gone terribly wrong!”

Kya snorted. “Oh, right. Like you could’ve done something usefull.”

Boen went red, and not just in the face. “I have half a mind to send you to oblivion!”He threatened in pure outrage.

Kya’s mouth gave a twitch. “Then do so. If you can, that is.” She mocked, looking up at him much the same way Gan had been doing earlier.

Boen was now fully glaring at the smug apparition. “That’s right,” he growled. “keep tempting me!”

Still with that smirk, she unfolded her arms to take up a fighting stance. “If that’s what you want.”

“That’s enough.” Gan placed a restraining hand on the younger females shoulder while her other rested on Boen's chest, holding them both back from ripping one another apart.

Kya turned her questioning blue eyes to the elder, who, with a soft sigh, leaned forward to relay a message so low and softly only the receirver could hear it.

The others just watched the fire maiden’s subtle expression change in silence.

Kya's small brows slightly rose, her eyes softly widened and her mouth barely opened.

Gan swiftly snuck something small into Kya’s left hand; though, a few in the room could guess as to what that object might be. Gan slowly pulled back and gave Kya’s shoulder a gentle squeeze before stepping back.

“Now this is getting interesting.” Genkai remarked almost nonchalantly as she glanced between Gan and Shizuru. “but that would explain it.”

“What’re you going on about?” the latter questioned in suspision.

“You’ll find out sooner or later.” Was the old woman’s helpful remark before she had taken a sip of her tea.

Yusuke loudly cleared his throat, knocking Kya back into reality. She violently shoved the small unknown item into her pocket and fiercely glared at him.

“Ah. Excuse the rude behavior.” Gan quickly amended. “I am Ganjitsu; Gan for short. And as the name implies, I was born on New Year’s Day.”

“Who’d want to name their kid after a day?” Shizuru muttered under her breath."That's so stupid."

S’ke coughed into the back of his hand, trying to hide a laugh while commenting. “Gee, I wonder who.”

The collected brunette known as Gan just raised an eleganant eyebrow.

“Heh. Yeah, and I’m Boen.” Koenma’s might-as-well-be-twin stated while scratching the back of his head in nervousness.

Kya finally turned back to him about to say something, but the future prince who belonged to the future world beat her to it, cutting off her words. “The orders, your orders remain the same.”

The fire maiden suddenly had a very sour dark look on her face. “Why?” she spit out.

“Here,” Gan said, holding up a DVD disk. “this should answer all your questions.”

“I can’t believe he still does that!” Yusuke quietly exclaimed to Kurama, who had to silently agree with the younger teenager.

The young fire apparition angrily snatched the disk from her elder.

“Try not to melt it, dearest.” Yoko threw out; he was oh so amused by these newest developments and anyone could tell how badly it was that he was trying to maintain a straight face; the next instant he had to dodge a well-aimed circular object that had been directed at his silver covered head.

“That’s all I wanted to know.” Said a foul-tempered female fire demon. The statement seemed like it was more to herself than to anyone else.

“Well, actually,” Gan sighed out. “They thought it prudent to…ah…amend a few things as well as adding a few new ‘limitations’.

With an angry growl, Kya sat down with her left hand inching towards the nonexistent weight at her waist. “Amend, limitations.” she snarled in irritation, yet a moment later there was a nice big evil smirk forming along her lips. “Might be too late for all that.”she commented to herself.

Yoko was the only one humored by her dangerous-sounding voice. The others had shuddered

“What’s on your mind?” Hanako asked, suddenly very worried, for many different reasons that would remain unannounced.

“Nothing.” Kya’s voice nonchalant.

“Something’s gotta be going through it.” Yusuke commented, earning himself yet another glare from a certain female.

Unexpectedly jumping up, Keiko rushed out of the room.

“Uuuh…” was all anyone could comply. Finally with a shrug of his shoulders, Yusuke said “Who knows with her.”

Soon the pretty brunette was back with a determined look on her face. She then bravely strolled towards Kya, calmly sat down and gently started brushing the temperamental female’s dark hair.

And, surprisingly, Kya didn’t seem to mind.

“Um…Keiko?” Botan asked.

“I just couldn’t stand it anymore!” She fumed. “She has such beautiful hair! Yet, she doesn’t seem to take care of it right, at all! It’s completely tangled and has lots of split ends!”

For a little while, no one said anything.

Kya shifted her left arm so as to place it in the pocket containing the small item.

“Anyway,” Boen sighed out, starting up the conversation again. “exactly what do they know?”

“Next to nothing!” Everyone’s voice resounded throughout the spacious room which made Gan give a silent laugh and for Yoko to deeply chuckle. Boen; however, was getting furious again, his right eyebrow was starting to twitch.

“Kya,” he growled through clenched teeth.

She looked up at him. “Yes?” and damnit if she didn’t seem almost innocent!

Shaking himself, he continued, “What do you mean ‘yes?’? Didn’t you answer anything they probably asked of you?!” he now sounded desperate. “Like,...who Takaru is?”

“Of course.” Came the soft reply.

The future prince of Spirit World let his brows furrow. “Why he’s after you?”

“Naturally.” She muttered.

“What he is?”

“Obviously.”

“Why we’re in this particular time?”

Silence…

The prince’s eyes were narrowing at the female. “Why not?”

Kya’s, now blue eyes moved to look at him from the corners as she seemed to be mocking him. “As I recall; that was left to me, now wasn’t it?”

“Y-yes, but!” Boen was looking frantic for some unknown reason. “They are entitled to know some things!”

Kya gave a malicious smirk. “They do know ‘some things’.”

“I meant,” he started, then with a sigh scratched the back of his head in frustration, all the while muttering “Oh, hell.”

The demoness simply closed her eyes, loving the feel of silence, not to mention Keiko’s gentle soothing brushing of her rich hair. Kya's mind wandered back to when she and the others were children. For one reason or the other, Keiko had always been obsessed with Kya’s hair, which was why she had never had it chopped off. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but more like she wasn’t allowed to. The woman would’ve had a heart-attack if she ever did and said woman had now started humming. This allowed almost all of the occupants of the room to relax one way or another. And, more importatnly, no one pestered her about…ANYTHING! They were just letting her be. At least, for the moment.

When the humming came to a halt, Keiko sighed. “I wish I had you hair, it’s so beautiful." Kya opened her eyes a slight crack to look to the side and concentrating on her left shoulder while the other spoke again. “And lustrous, you know?”

“It’s only hair. Everyone has it, it’s nothing spectacular.” The hybrid dryly stated.

“Yeees.” Keiko dragged out the word, “But...it’s always so different, just as the person themselves are different.”

The future child looked to the floorboards, then a humorless smirk took place. “As I recall its genetics and nothing else.”

The brushing ceased.

“And besides,” Kya closed eyes a split-second before directing her gaze to the brunette behind her. “There are only so many different personalities out there; let alone hair types, there are more people alike then you seem to think. Or…want to believe.”

Keiko stared at Kya who just half-grinned back, and was now readying herself to stand, but she was roughly yanked back towards the wooden floor by a now fuming Keiko Yukimura.

“Why is it? Why is it that you find the worst things in…about…EVERYTHING?! How come you settle on the darker side of life when there’s plenty of good out there? In the world? Don’t you know there are things that can give you a reason to live! That makes you want to live!?”

Kya was staring, wide-eyed, just as all the others; aside from Yusuke, Keiko had never truly gotten onto anyone before... not like that anyway. And the others, the ones from the future, were in even more of a state of shock because the brunette not once, not ever, ever even tried to tell Kya off before!

It…wasn’t….normal….

Silence- - -

- -then the little fire demoness started to laugh, a silent laughter, but still a laugh. Her body was shaking with uncontained mirth, her head was leaned forward and she was just…laughing.

Astonished, the others just blinked at her; a few even rubbed their eyes as though they weren’t really seeing what they were seeing, that this wasn't a dream!

“Oooookaaaay. She’s lost it.” S’ke finally commented.

The young fire apparitions’ shoulders slowly slumped down; stopped shaking with mirth. Her head was tilted down further than it had been, a humored smile still on her lips. “Well,” she looked up at Keiko from beneath her lush eyelashes with her eyes swirling in a mix which held only red and blue. “that was unexpected.”

“Huh?” Keiko blinked.

“No, you don’t say?” Yusuke didn’t have to feign surprise.

Kya’s small smirk faltered as her sudden, newfound amusement died away. Her eyes moved to fixate, once again, on the floor. “Yeah.” She spoke softly, slowly.

Abruptly, Yukina sprang to her feet. “What about my brother? Do I ever find him?”
