The whole gang, including Carnation are wearing black and are standing around a grave which the name "Karasu" is engraved.

MNA: He was the most eviliest man I have ever known! *fakes cries*

Carnation: Scary too...

We all fake cry for about a second.

Teen Koenma: Okay, that's enough!

We stop crying and look at each other. After a nod, we all spit at Karasu's grave.

MNA: What? You expect flowers?

Rinku: Mitsukai no Awai does not own YYH.

Chuu: Read and review, blokes an' sheilas!

Interrogating

^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^

"Mommy! Mommy! Don't leave! Please wake up!" cried the little girl from Gwen's last dream.

The shadows of fifteen figures surrounded her, ready to strike.

Gwen ran toward the girl, shouting, "She's only a child!!! Don't kill her!!" But just as Gwen reached the girl, the figures were lying around her, dead. Suddenly, Gwen felt a knife being plunged into her back. She turned around to see the little girl, her eyes white, saying softly, "It's your fault...it's your fault..."

Gwen fell to the ground, but she never made impact, forever feeling the sensation of falling.

^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^

Gwen opened her eyes to see that she was on the floor of her hotel room, blankets wrapped around her.

"Oh, Gwen... What're you doing down there?" Botan asked as she climbed out of her bed, looking at her with her usual bubbly smile.

"I guess I was sleeping restlessly..." Gwen said as she stood up, making the bed.

"Oorai. I'll go help Shizuru make breakfast," Botan said, leaving the room.

Gwen sweatdropped, not at all wanting to eat anything Botan cooked. She remembered the last time Botan had cooked a meal; she had ended up in the bathroom, puking her guts out.

Once done making the bed, Gwen walked into the living room/dining room/kitchen and sat down, looking at the omelet and small bowl of rice in front of her suspiciously.

"Gwen, it's not poison!" Botan laughed as she called Keiko for breakfast.

Gwen faked a laugh, picking up her chopsticks, ready to go to the bathroom if necessary.

"It's okay, Gwen," Shizuru said, putting plates of omelets on the table. "I finished cooking when Botan came in. It's safe to eat."

Gwen smiled, and began to eat as Keiko and Botan entered the room.

^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^

The four girls stepped past the ticket booth, showing the youkai their tickets. He nodded and let them through. Botan led them through the stadium, walking down the winding corridors for nearly ten minutes. Youkai were eyeing them with amusement, especially Gwen. Keiko felt very nervous, and Botan paid no attention to them, looking around.

The youkai smirked at Gwen, seeing she was a hanyou and naming her very appealing. She had her two-toned wavy hair down, swaying as she walked. Gwen's attire was a black shirt that was cut off in the middle of her abs, the long sleeves cutting off at the top of her arms, allowing her shoulders to be exposed, with dark blue bellbottoms and dark brown boots. Her necklace gleamed around her neck as she followed Botan, trying to ignore the stares.

A couple of the youkai whistled as Gwen walked past them, and Gwen blushed madly as a youkai smacked her butt. She twirled around, punching the youkai out, sending him across the room. The youkai and her companions looked at her warily, not wanting to get her mad.

Botan looked forward and finally found the person she was searching for. "Koenma-sama!" She walked toward him, the three girls following behind her. "We're finally here, sir!"

Gwen raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure this is Koenma?" Gwen asked as Koenma opened his mouth, about to say something to Botan. "He looks like a teenager to me..."

"I am Koenma, Gwen. This is just my teenaged form. I also like to look cool," Koenma smiled. Gwen sweatdropped. "You girls better take your seats. The first round is about to start."

"Sou ka. Come on, girls. Follow me!" Botan left Koenma accompanied by Shizuru and Keiko.

Keiko noticed that Gwen wasn't leaving her spot. "Gwen? Aren't you coming?"

Gwen looked at her. "Yeah. I'll be there as soon as I finish asking Koenma something."

"Oorai."

Koenma was walking away with George and Gwen decided to follow him upstairs, into the private box he had. Once she entered the room, she gasped as Koenma turned into a baby again.

"Tired of being a big boy, Koenma?" Gwen teased, smacking him on the head.

"Not funny, Gwenevere," he retorted, glaring at her. "Why are you here, anyway? Aren't you going with the girls?"

"Listen, binkie boy! I got some questions that need answering, so you better spill!!!!" Gwen yelled, making Koenma feel a little uncomfortable.

"You wouldn't yell at a baby, now would you?"

"You're a pretty old baby then."

"I will cut off our deal, and get you back to the dead if you keep this attitude up!"

"Oh, you wouldn't want that..."

"And why not?"

"Let's just say that I know a nasty little secret that you have, but are too shy to tell Botan..." Gwen smiled insanely, an evil glint sparkling in her eyes.

"What would that be?" he asked, a little scared by the way she was acting.

"That you like her!!!!" Gwen screamed.

"Ssshhhh Gwen! Don't shout that to the whole stadium!" Koenma shouted, covering her mouth and looking to the window to see if anyone had heard.

"AHA! So you do like her!" Gwen laughed.

"Wha...You...uh...quiet!" Koenma said finally, fuming.

"She's got you there, sir," remarked George, smiling a little bit.

"I SAID QUIET, GEORGE!"

George winced and fell silent. Koenma sat on the huge chair in front of the window, turning it around to face Gwen. "Hai, Gwen. I'll answer your questions. But I had intended to watch the first round..."

Gwen smiled. "I'm not in the mood of watching people killing each other at the moment. Besides, I have a feeling Yusuke and the guys will win this round.

"First of all, I have heard about the Adehriea clan, but only vaguely. Who are they really?"

"They are a rare breed of youkai that shed Linhgea tears known as Healing Tears, as you already know, right?" Gwen nodded, so Koenma continued. "They existed for hundreds of years, before even I was born. Their element is light, thus their true forms are that of heavenly angels. The first Adehriea was known as Tayni, and was the mother to all Adehriea. All Adehriea were women, in fact. Tayni gave birth to the first hundred. They can reproduce without a male, Gwen," Koenma noted, seeing how confused she was. "They have a special organ of doing just that, much like the Koorime.

"They lived in a peaceful woodland village. Everything there was filled with purity, giving off a nice whitish glow..." Koenma faded off, remembering the beautiful home of the Healers of Light. Gwen tapped him on the shoulder, and Koenma, snapping out of his trance, continued. "Then, you know, demons invaded the area, kidnapping the maidens for their tears, and killing them when they refused. The last Adehriea, Lydrea, was left and had gone into hiding, but was caught, and being killed when refusing to cry. Torguro gave you the legend, correct?"

"Hai..." Gwen murmured. "But why me?"

"I think she saw that you would be the perfect vessel, and decided to give you her powers. But I think you're her reincarnation, Gwen. You do resemble her," Koenma said, looking over her closely.

"But how was she killed?"

"By the darkness, of course!"

"That's just it... Why are they weak against the dark? I mean, nightfall isn't dangerous. I've been in the dark before."

Then the whole stadium went dark. Gwen, Koenma, and George looked out the window, seeing Hiei gripping a dark flame. He shouted something fiercely and smirked, then thrusted his arm forward, firing the black fire in the form of an immense dragon. The stadium was filled with light once again as Hiei walked back to his teammates.

"Jaou Ensatsu Kokuryuuha (The Dragon of the Darkness Flame)," Koenma stated. "My father spoke of it once, but I didn't think anyone could do it... Calling upon the darkest flames from the pits of Hell..."

"See? Even that kind of darkness can't hurt me! How can darkness kill Adehriea!?" Gwen questioned loudly.

"Only the last few were killed by darkness, Gwen. The youkai didn't know this until the arch-nemesis of the Adehriea gave them what is known as the Black Darkness. There are three kinds of darkness: nightfall, Hell born darkness, and the Black Darkness. The Adehriea are weak against the Black Darkness.

"That room that you were in when you were rescuing Yukina was filled with the Black Darkness. I'm still puzzled as to how Torukanae had a whole room full of it. The Dark Sphere is a orb full of it too... It takes the light away from Adehriea, their power, or better yet, soul, if they give in to the darkness."

"All right, I'm pretty well finished with the topic of the Adehriea, but what about being a hawk demon?" Gwen asked. "Who was my mother?"

"Hawk demons are usually males, and they reproduce by themselves as well, making eggs. One out of one hundred eggs are females. Your mother, Aliana, was one of those few females. They're element is wind, no doubt. Aliana left her home, looking for some adventure in her life, and met the fire demon, Zarie. Together, they joined a tribe of thieves for the next two hundred years of their lives. Then, when Aliana found out about the wars of the Falcons and Hawks, she quit being a thief and left for home. What with all her experience outside the Hawk's lair, she was the best fighter on the Hawk side, leading them to victory. After the wars, Aliana went to Ningenkai to explore and see how ningens live their lives. She grew fond of them, falling in love with your father, but once your father knew about her youkai heritage, he left her. So she came back to the Makai, seeing Zarie again, and then nine months after...she had you, but the ningen way, not from an egg. Female hawks don't produce eggs if they bear hanyou. Your mother died when you were young, I'm afraid, when you were about four years old. As when you're in your hanyou form, you have your youkai abilities and human abilities at hand. You change into a ningen twice every month, right?"

"Yeah..." Gwen said. "That reminds me...why do I get these dreams where there is a little girl and a dead woman laying beside her?"

"..." Koenma paused, looking away from her. "...You'll have to find out on your own, Gwenevere... I'm not the right person to tell you that."

"But..."

"Koenma-sama! Yusuke won!" George cheered, looking out the window. Koenma looked at the window, then Gwen. "You have to find out for yourself, Gwen." He looked back at the window, leaving Gwen to stare at the back of the chair.

"Fine, Koenma. I've got no more questions," Gwen declared, leaving the room, walking down the stairs, thinking over of the little "interrogation."

Her feet leading her, Gwen closed her eyes, trying to picture those dreams, but failing miserably.

"Gwen! Where were you?! We won!" Botan hugged her, making Gwen open her eyes, finding herself outside the ring where Team Urameshi stood, enjoying their victory.

"Uh...nowhere," Gwen replied quickly. Botan let go, and stood next to her, beaming. Gwen walked toward the team to congratulate them.

"Well done, you guys!" Gwen cheered, giving them a thumbs up. "Sorry I wasn't watching, but I did get a glimpse of your fight, Hiei," she said, looking at him.

"Hn," he replied, looking like he didn't care.

"Well, you missed Kuwabara losing to a kid!" Yusuke joked. Gwen laughed with him as Kuwabara spat out insults at Yusuke.

Gwen finally noticed the fifth member of the team. "Who's this?"

"We're not sure," Kuwabara said. "The little guy doesn't talk at all."

Gwen looked closely at the masked fighter, and then recognizing the ki.

~They don't know a thing so don't tell, Gwen.~

~I won't. Don't worry. But I do want to know why you are here.~

~We'll talk about this later.~

Gwen nodded, finally turning to Kurama.

"I missed you," she said, hugging him.

"I missed you too, Gwen. I thought that you would've came to train with us," Kurama said, hugging back.

"I...was busy, Kurama."

Gwen let go, and smiled at him. He smiled back, his eyebrow raised, wondering why she was so busy lately.

"Well, come on! Let's go back to the hotel!" Botan said as they all walked out of the stadium.

Yusuke stood behind Gwen, smiling like an idiot, eyeing her backside. Kurama and Hiei walked on either side of her, and Kuwabara walked next to Yusuke and the masked fighter was in back of Yusuke and Kuwabara. The girls walked in front, chatting away, Carnation sitting on Shizuru's shoulder.

Gwen talked to Kurama about what Koenma had told her only minutes ago, keeping the dream conversation out. He nodded, and patiently listened as she talked about the Adehriea. Kuwabara looked at Yusuke confusedly, then gazing at where he was looking at, and then, he too, starting grinning like a dope. Yusuke moved his hand toward Gwen, but then looked up instinctively, sensing danger, and he saw some danger all right! Hiei's glare was fixed on the two boys, mentally showing them what he would do if either of them touched her that way. (believe me...it's not pretty...) The boys grew scared, and looked anywhere but Gwen's backside.

Kuwabara noticed that Gwen's hairstyle had changed, and looked at her in his usual confused manner. "Gwen...you're hair's different..."

Gwen jumped for a second, turning back to face Kuwabara, stopping her conversation with Kurama. "Uh...hai, it is! I changed the style a few months ago."

"It looks good on you, Gwen!" he replied in a I'm-so-cool tone. Kurama and Hiei scowled at Kuwabara.

"Arigatou," she smiled, then ignored him again as she continued the conversation with Kurama. Yusuke laughed and Kuwabara promptly instigated a fight.

Hiei tried so hard not to look at Gwen, but how can he not when she was so alluring!? Her delicate shoulders exposed, making his urge to mark her increasing as he kept looking at her. He shook his head, knowing very well that she was Kurama's onna.

The group made it to the hotel, and the boys said their farewells to the girls, going their separate ways.

"Sayanora, Kurama," Gwen said as she pecked his cheek before letting him go where he pleased.

"Sayanora, Gwen."

The girls watched the boys leave the hotel in silence.

"So...? Where are we going for lunch?" Gwen asked, as Carnation leapt from Shizuru's shoulder, walking out of the suite, following Hiei, knowing he had been badly injured in his fight. She was not aware that Gwen had watched her leave.

^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^

MNA: Well, I see that you guys aren't reviewing!!!! If you review, I will update! I don't really care what you say! I want you guys to review!

Everyone is in their usual clothes, lounging around in my room, drinking soda.

MNA: The Mc'Donald's chicken nuggets are poisoned!!! I had ate 10 of those things on the way back from my class NY field trip on Wednesday. Yesterday, I had a serious stomach ache and stayed home. Though, I did eat my frozen milkshake.

Kuwabara: How can you eat a milkshake?

Everyone except Kuwabaka: FROZEN! MILKSHAKE!

Kuwabaka: o_o?

Carnation: It's sweet snow.

Kuwabaka: Oh....
