Kurama!" someone screamed as they came tearing out of a forest. They looked about 16 and had pitch black hair that reached middle of her back, a blue tank top with spaghetti straps that reached just below her waist, and flared blue jeans that weresemi-tight until they flared. Her eyes were a changing color kind, but they only changed into red when she was angry, a dark blue when she was sad, black with red pupils when she protected someone she cared for, and a sapphire blue any other time. She was the kind of girl that sometimes had problems making friends because she came on strong and was a little odd, and some people disliked her, but she ignored them. "Why do they talk behind my back? The chickens. Anything you can say to me, you can say to my face, jerks!" was what she would always say.
"What is it?" Kurama asked as he turned around quickly. "What happened?"
The girl was trembling from head to toe. "In…In, "she gasped for air "In the forest…I saw…this freaky looking green mucus thing!"
"Oh. You must be talking about the swamp monster." Kurama gave a laugh and said, "I never guessed that my tough-as-nails sister would be afraid of him" then he started to laugh again.
"Hey!" cried the girl, -Kurama's sister-?, "It's not funny! " she said it with so much defense that she began to giggle a little, too. "Well, I guess it is, psh" she tried to puff out her chest and look tough, failing miserably. "Nothing scares me"
When they could control their laughter, Kurama said, "Well, lets head home. I think that's enough training for today. I don't think I could take another one of your punches to my gut. Though, I wonder if you'd be a match for Yusuke…" he mused
"Who's Yusuke?" she asked with a quizzical look. Kurama seemed to realize for the first time that he was still speaking out loud. Kurama slapped a hand to his forehead. After all this time, his two worlds had never meshed. Now he was home again in the human world and so were the rest of them. Things had quieted down since Yusuke got fired and Kurama began to once again enjoy life's little pleasures. Such as spending time with his sister. "Oh Aimi, Im so sorry, Ive forgotten once again to introduce you to them, I'll arrange…"
"instead of arranging a time, lets just go home and call and see if who's available."
"You always were a quick and logical thinker." He laughed, "Like father, like daughter" he continued.
"No…" she said with a sigh, "More like, like brother like sister."
As Aimi combed her hair, her gaze fell on a picture of her ex boyfriend, Hikaru. Number one punk at shasville high and boy did Aimi love "bad-boys". She sighed and slapped the picture face down on her dresser, it was time she moved on. She hurried out and sat on the couch with Kurama, As they gaze out the window, Aimi spotted a short guy (well, short compared to Kurama, taller than Aimi; yes, I changed Hiei's height) that was about 5'9", wearing all black, and looked like a total bad boy. I forgot to mention that Aimi really liked bad boys. "Hey Kurama," she asked, "Who's that?"
"Oh, that's just Hiei. He probably just ran here, hes faster than any transportation that we know as humans."
"Of course I did," started Hiei
. "Man, his voice is so cool! And damn is he hott!" thought Aimi, "and to think that for two years I thought Hikaru was the best looking guy ever! Well, as they say, save the best last. And then thiers the..."
"and I think you should know that I can read minds, you fool, and your thoughts are starting to make me sick" he finished, breaking into her thoughts
"Does that mean that you 'heard' what I just said? In my head, I mean."
"About the whole thing of Man, his voice is so cool! And damn is he hott! and to think that for two years I thought ..."
"Yes, ok we get it! Thank you!" Hiei smirked
"Idiot!" she thought, cursing herself
"So why did you ask me to come here, Kurama?" asked Hiei, somewhat annoyed at Aimi for being so…different.
I wanted to introduce you to Aimi," he said, motioning towards her. "Her idea of a relaxing afternoon is sparing until our arms fall off, but she is good, I'll give her that. She can do the basics like teleport and Spirit Gun, but she also has more advanced abilities like copying moves and such. I was thinking that she could take on Yusuke by now."
"Pheh," stated Hiei. "I doubt that. Even I have trouble beating him." Aimi could keep herself silent no longer
Aimi laughed and said, "Seriously? Man, that's rich. And you look pretty powerful too."
Hiei said nothing he really couldnt kill the annoying girl, because well, he wasnt entirely sure if that remark was meant to be an insult or compliment. and she sure gave no further clues. Kurama thougth he heard a knock on the door, he went to check. He was out of the room for less than five seconds when Hiei and Aimi were powering up to duke it out. Kurama rolled his eyes and tried to figure out a way to stop this nonense. This time he was sure of it, there was a knock on the door. Aimi and Hiei had heard it too and pulled thier glares away from each other and looked towards the door.
"Kurama! Sounds like Hiei beat us here, but who else is in there? Sounds like a girl. We know what you're thinking! Naughty naughty!" said the person on the other side of the closed door, as all three of them rolled thier eyes. "Is there something you're not telling us?"
"Oh perfect, all of Koenma's fools are lined up on your doorstep, Kurama" said Hiei sarcastically.
Aimi laughed and went to open the door. "Be careful, Aimi," Kurama quickly cautioned before she reached the door, "They'll come quickly." Aimi nodded, then opened the door and jumped out of the way. Even though she had moved as fast as possible without her powers, someone still managed to stomp on her toe.
"Hey, Shorty!" Kuwabara said in greeting to Hiei, who scowled in return.
"Hey Kurama!" Yusuke said cheerfully, and if possible, cockily, "Hey—who's the broad?"
"If everyone would sit down, I'll tell you." Suddenly the whole room went silent, and everyone sat down on one of the many couches. For some odd reason, Kurama had three couches and two rocking chairs in his living room. "Everyone, this is my sister, Aimi" explained the red head once the shuffling had died down. At this At this point Aimi put her arms up as a defense because while reading all of thier minds, she had reached the blue haired girl who called herself, Boton. She had a feeling Boton would pounce on her and scream her name,like she began to do now.
"Aimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" screamed the girl, who then ran into the bathroom, and locked the door behind her. She leaned her back against the door, just in case.
"Well jeez," said Kuwabara, "that didn't go very well, now did it,"
"Shut up, kitty-lover"" snapped Yusuke, "I'll go get her" but before he could, Kurama held up his arm and blocked him.
"She won't listen to you, you are just a stranger to her."
"Yah, but—"
"Just stay here," Kurama hissed, very unusual for his almost constant calm composure. Yusuke stopped dead in his tracks, and froze completely. Kurama walked off next to the bathroom door and knocked. "Aimi?"
"What?"
"Will you come out? I promise Botan won't pounce on you."
"Why should I trust you?"
Kurama rolled his eyes, "Because I am your older brother, and you've trusted me for years."
Aimi could think of no come back so she changed tactics, "Okay...why should I trust her?"
"Aimi," Kurama said dangerously.
"Fine then, I'm coming out," They heard a very loud click and she emerged, looking quite annoyed while muttering a few choice words of profanity.
"Hey, Aimi, my names Boton!" exclaimed Boton, with her normal cheery voice and threw her arms around the small girl and refused to let go. She squeezed while Aimi tried her hardest to free herself.
"Please, please, please, Help me Hiei!" she thought-asked the shorter demon.
"Hn, I dont think so."
"Aw...You suck. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE—"
"fine, maybe I will, but you'll be able to hear what I say anyway."
"Dont get a hernia forcing yourself." Hiei glared at the girl as if to say, do-you-want-me-to-do-this-or-not? "Sorry" Aimi apoligized quickly in her mind. Hiei rolled his eyes, Aimi was sure all three of his eyes were glaring at her. With out warning both girls heard:
"Botan; your PDA is making me sick. Do I have to kill you to keep you from being foolish?"
Boton giggled and then thought. "You just might, Hiei. Besides, just because you are a little goth boy doesnt mean you can spoil other people's fun."
"I should have slit your throught when I had the chance. Besides, it doesnt look like she's having too much fun. Release the Onna, Now!"
"Goth boy," Boton shot outloud.
"Baka Neko!" yelled Hiei, following suit. (baka neko: stupid cat)
"Shrimp"
"Whench"
"Hey, Hey, Hey You guys, Break it up" exclaimed Kuwabara, barrelling through the two
"Lets not start a war," added Kurama
"Yes, this is supposed to be a fun time, not a war," added Kurama.
"Hey! How about we do something fun while we're here! Like……play Spin the Bottle!" suggested Boton.
"NO!" protested Hiei and Aimi at the same time.
"No way in hell are you getting me to play that foolish game," growled the short fire demon.
"Well fine then, Hiei, you don't have to—" Keiko, the voice of reason, was interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Um, I'm sorry I'm late, but this is Kurama's house, isnt it?" asked a small, quiet voice.
"YUKINAAAAA!" yelled Kuwabara as he charged at the door to let her in. "I'm so glad you could make it!" A short, light blue haired girl with a red ribbon in her hair walked in. She had a proper light blue kimono on and tatami sandals and tabi socks on. "Im so glad you could make it, Baby, Have you been thinking about me? Because You havent been off my mind" he rambled.
"Oh, I'm sorry Yukina. I didnt leave the door open because I thought you weren't coming, you were so late."said Kurama apologetically, "The reason for me calling you here is that since I have been home and things have quieted down a bit. I wanted everyone to meet my sister, Aimi"
"Oh. Hello, Aimi. I'm Yukina," said Yukina with a polite bow.
"H-h-hello," said Aimi who bowed in return, shocked by Yukina's politeness. 'I didn't think there were people like her around nowadays,' thought Aimi to herself, blocking Hiei out.
"Well, if someone," Keiko started, glaring at Hiei as she said someone, "doesn't want to do Spin the Bottle, then how about ..."
"We all sleep over here, at Kurama's house!" Boton cut it, excited.
"Well actually, I was going to say..." Kayko trailed off because Boton, once again cut her off.
"I mean its Huge!" she said, taking in the largeness of it all." It was a pretty big house for Japan and all. Aimi only realized this when Boton pointed it out. All these years, she had just taken it for granted. "Please, Kurama! PLEASE can we have a slumber party? Because see, I calculated it and we havent all spent more than six straight hours together in over nine months. I mean, you know, as a family"
Now it was Hiei's turn to interuppt. "Boton!" he exclaimed, "Dont make me rip out your precious voicebox!"
Boton ignored him and put on a sad, sort of pathetic look that she thought might help her get a yes from her fox friend.
"It's fine with me. The only problem will be keeping Hiei here. He might run away during the night."
"Don't worry about him, Kurama. I'll keep him here," Aimi said with a sneer.
"And how the heck are ya gonna do that, Half pint?" asked Yusuke
"I have my ways," she said sneezily, and when Yusuke wasnt expecting it, she punched him in the stomach, and kneed him, causing him to fall over. She leaned over and looked down at him. "Save the short jokes for Hiei, and dont call me half pint." she hissed darkly.
it was all Yusuke could do not to wet himself.
