Now most of my faithful readers have gotten used to my character Yara. But, in this story, she is being replaced by Ana. I have realized that my first idea for Yara had changed into an outgoing girl. But I wanted her to be quite and violent. So, hopefully Ana can realize my dream. And Sara is the replaced version of Nikki. I personally never wanted her name to be Nikki, but it had just ended up that way.

WARNING: As I was typing the second chapter I realized I began to throw things in that most people might not know about. I personally have seen the entire series from beginning to end and may know more that most people of so you might what to wait to read or be prepared for spoilers. So, on with the story! '


Narita Airport, Tokyo Japan

The airport was crowded with people. Some coming in to catch their flight, others having just returned from vacation. But everyone seemed to stop and stare at a small group of teenagers before heading off on their way. The group was a mix of male and female, some hugging each other and others simply talking. One of the teenagers was standing at 5'6" with raven black hair slicked back with enough gel that it shined in the light. His chocolate brown eyes were glaring darkly at a young blue haired girl. He wore blue jeans and a white muscle shirt with white and blue sneakers. The young girl with blue hair stood at about 5'2", her purple red eyes glared darkly back at the boy as she waved a hand holding some papers around his face. She wore a pink colored kimono with a white and blue sash around the midsection. The boy did nothing to grab the papers but just watched as they waved back and forth across his face.

"Yusuke Urameshi! You're such a jerk!" the girl cried before turning around and storming away with a loud huff. With her exit came the entrance of another girl standing about 5'2" with brown hair that hung down her back. Her dark brown eyes look sympathetically toward the blue haired girl before turning toward Yusuke. His chocolate eyes were surveying her blue high school uniform and the skirt that stopped halfway down her thighs. The girl blushed lightly and realized that Yusuke wasn't walking toward her to do flip her skirt today.

"Hey Kayko! Love the skirt," Yusuke said. Kayko, the brown haired girl, huffed but walked over to Yusuke. Even though she huffed, inside she was relieved that Yusuke didn't try and flip her skirt. I could have flipped her skirt. But then everyone nearby would have seen her. Why do I suddenly care? Oh yeah. Yusuke thought as his mind flashed back for a second. He didn't have long to flash back for Kayko began to speak.

"Why was Botan so upset?" Kayko asked. Yusuke growled lightly and turned his head away. "Yusuke. Was she upset cause you were trying to weasel your way out of this vacation? A vacation that Kurama's mother paid for in full? The vacation in America with Kurama's mother's friends? The one-"

"I get it! Listen, I just don't want to leave you," Yusuke muttered. Kayko smiled lightly and hugged Yusuke, her right hand covering over her left as she looked down Yusuke's back to see the gold band covering her ring finger. Yusuke was doing the same thing as he fell into the loving embrace of his dear wife. As they backed away, Yusuke began to whine. "I'll be gone for a year!"

"It's not as bad as the three years you pulled after you died for the second time," Kayko huffed. Yusuke smiled lightly and looked away making Kayko feel somewhat guilty. As she went to comfort Yusuke she looked at the two bags he had. One she knew was a carry on filled with snacks for the eighteen hour flight. The other was the check in bag which she had packed herself for him. Included was almost every bit of clothing that he owned and a picture of the two of them during the wedding. As she stared at the suitcase she began to wonder if the amount of clothes she packed would be sufficient enough for the year that he will be gone.

"I have to go get my tickets from Botan," Yusuke suddenly said bringing Kayko out of her thoughts. Nodding her ok, Kayko turned to find a red head standing behind her. She barely noticed Yusuke leaving her side without his bags as she stared into the red head's forest green eyes. The red head stood at 5'7" and wore crimson pants and a darker red shirt with medium blue sleeves. In his left hand was a handle to a forest green bag and over his right shoulder was a forest green duffle bag.

"Kayko, I wish my mother had gotten a ticket for you. I'm sorry that she didn't," the red head suddenly said surprising Kayko out of her trance.

"Don't worry Kurama! It's fine. I have to get used to the fact that even though we are married, Yusuke will continue to go off on his own," Kayko answered. Kurama, the red head, sighed.

"Still, I wish you could come with us," Kurama stated. Then added, "If only to help me keep everyone in line."

At this Kayko laughed. She knew how hard it is to keep Yusuke, the teenage punk, in line. But knowing that Kurama had to take care of Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei, she did begin to feel bad for the red head. Her eyes softened lightly as she turned to face Kurama's eyes again but he seemed to be in a daze.

"Do you know where you guys are going?" Kayko asked. At the sudden change of topic, Kurama looked up surprised. Realizing what she asked Kurama had to smile.

"Not exactly. I mean, I know they are my mother's friends but I haven't met them. So that is another problem I have to deal with. Now that I think about it, want to take my ticket?" Kurama asked while holding out a packet of papers to Kayko. She looked at Kurama with horror.

"Your mother gave you that!" Kayko cried. Kurama laughed.

"I was only joking! You really thought I was serious?" Kurama asked. Kayko laughed lightly trying to get rid of the uneasy feeling that just swept over her.

"No, I mean... Never mind. By the way, are your mother's friends paying for everything?" Kayko asked. Kurama shook his head no and Kayko began to wonder who was paying for everything.

"My mother has a bank account set in my name with, I believe, close to a million dollars. It's set for the four of us to pay for food, clothing, and any travel fare that is needed," Kurama answered. I hope that's enough for the four of us. Kayko smiled and then began to wonder if Kurama's mother was rich. "It's my step dad who has all the money. My mother could barely afford our house before. With being sick and all. I was the one who normally brought in the money. The rest she got from family."

"You had a job?" Kayko asked surprised. Kurama smiled sheepishly.

"Nothing like you might think! I was the landscape artist for the surrounding neighbors. They paid me to cut the lawn, weed the gardens, and water the plants. Sometimes I would go grocery shopping for the elders in the neighborhood and help them around the house. I even would walk the dogs for some other families," Kurama answered. There was a long pause of silence between the two and Kurama watched Kayko for a reaction. And he got one when she suddenly started laughing. Surprised, Kurama stared at her a frown plastered on his face.

"I never thought of you as the neighborhood helper!" Kayko said through the laugher. As she laughed another male began to walk over. He was 6' tall with orangey red hair gelled into an Elvis like style. His blackish brown eyes surveyed over Kayko and Kurama. He wore blue jeans with a white muscle shirt and a yellowish tan overcoat.

"Why is she laughing?" The teen asked. Kurama went to answer but Kayko had calmed down enough to answer.

"Kurama. His job," Kayko gasped lightly. The boy turned to Kurama for clarification. As Kurama explained Kayko couldn't help but laugh again. Soon the boy joined in.

"Why does everyone find it funny that I worked?" Kurama asked slightly upset. The boy was first to answer.

"It's just hard to picture you as a worker. I mean you're like this smart pretty boy to the rest of us," the boy explained. Kurama sighed deeply as Kayko walked over to him. She suddenly hugged him.

"I'm sorry Kurama! I promise not to laugh again," Kayko said. Kurama nodded ok and looked up. As he was about to speak another voice interrupted.

"Kuwabara!" called the voice. Kurama turned to see who it was as Kayko released him from the hug. There stood a girl standing at about 4'10" maybe 4'11" with icy blue hair and the most innocent red eyes. She wore a kimono similar to Botan's except that this girl's was blue and the waistband was a darker blue.

"YUKINA!" Kuwabara squealed before rushing over to the girl's side and smiling like an idiot. Kurama and Kayko laughed lightly as Yukina began to lead Kuwabara back to his stuff and it was then that Kurama realized none of them had checked in yet.

"Listen, Kayko. Do you know where Yusuke is?" Kurama asked. Kayko nodded. "Can you get him over to the check-in station. I have to go grab Kuwabara."

"Going to use me until your on the plane eh?" Kayko jokingly asked. Kurama looked back at her sheepishly before grabbing his two bags and rushing off in the area where Kuwabara and Yukina headed. Kayko sighed and quickly turned to find Yusuke left his bags unattended. With a deeper sigh, Kayko grabbed the handle for the suitcase and threw the other bag over her shoulder. Quickly walking into the crowd she found Yusuke and Botan going at it in front of Genkai, a short old woman with dulling pink hair and glassy brown eyes. Genkai seemed to be enjoying that fact that her heir was getting beat by a girl. Kayko sighed and snuck behind Botan snatching the tickets before Botan could do anything about it. "Stop acting so childish Botan!"

"But! Kayko," Botan began but Kayko would have none of it. Shoving the ticket into Yusuke's hands, Kayko began to get Yusuke ready to head over to the check-in station, where Kurama and Kuwabara were already waiting. It took five minutes for Kayko to send Yusuke over there, mostly cause he still was trying to pick a fight with Botan, but once she did, Kayko left Yusuke in Kurama's capable hands. Or so she hoped.

"Yusuke, can I have your ticket?" Kurama asked, already having confiscated Kuwabara's. Yusuke nodded and slapped the papers into Kurama's extended hand. Rolling his eyes, Kurama watched Yusuke look around. I'm going to come home with gray hairs after this! Wait a second, does Hiei know to check in? Did he check in? Did he have a bag to check in? Damn, I'm acting like my mother. [And you're giving me a headache![ Sorry Yoko. Kurama thought as he began to sigh deeply. Closing his eyes, Kurama lifted his hands to massage his temples.

"You getting a headache Kurama?" Kuwabara asked sending Kurama out of his thoughts. Looking tiredly over to Kuwabara, Kurama nodded seeing it as the easiest way to get both teens to shut up. Only one I need to worry about now is Hiei... Wherever he is. [Hiei's missing?[ No, I just have no idea where he is at the moment. "Yusuke, stop. We have to be quite, Kurama is getting a headache."

"Sure it ain't just that he wants us to shut up? Kayko pulls that stunt a lot when I'm talking to much," Yusuke responded. Kuwabara turned to Kurama horrified and Kurama had to roll his eyes.

"Would you really do that to us Kurama?" Kuwabara asked. Kurama turned to face Kuwabara while moving up in line. [He's missing...[ Listen to my next words Yoko.

"I do deserve peace sometimes," was his answer. Yusuke laughed loudly as Kuwabara began to pout. [Jerk...[

"I can help someone over here!" called a female voice. Kurama spun to realize the only attendant not in his view had no one in front of her. Quickly grabbing his things, Kurama began his path over to the women. Kuwabara and Yusuke followed with their bags dragging behind them. "How can I help you three today?"

"Hi. Here's our tickets, our ID's, and each of us has one bag to check in," Kurama quickly answered while placing a pile of papers in front of the attendant. The girl smiled and began to sort through everything. Kurama quickly turned to the other two only to find them watching the group of girls. "Guys, move your check-in bags over here."

"Sorry, Kurama," Kuwabara said as he moved his dark blue suitcase closer to the desk. Yusuke on the other hand never heard what Kurama asked for so Kuwabara quickly moved the suitcase for him. Sighing, Kurama returned his attention to the attendant.

"First time to America?" the attendant suddenly asked Kurama. Surprised by the question, Kurama nodded his head yes. The girl smiled. Kurama watched as her eyes flicked down to the desk and then up to Yusuke and Kuwabara. It took a few seconds for him to register that she was making sure they matched the ID's that he had given her earlier. "Ok, now all we have to do is wait for a few things to print."

"Thanks. Actually, while we're waiting can you do me a favor?" Kurama asked, his mind flashing back to Hiei.

"Sure. What is it you want?" the attendant asked.

"Can you check to see if a person named Hiei has already checked in? It's really important that we catch up with him before we board," Kurama said. The attendant nodded saying it was no problem and walked off. About a minute later she came back with some papers in her hands.

"Your friend checked in about five minutes ago. He should be waiting at security or over in the loading area. But, please put these on your bags for me and everything will be set," the attendant said. Kurama nodded and took the papers from the women and quickly stuck one each on the three bags meant to be checked in. Once done he handed the bags over to the attendant who quickly placed them on a conveyer belt behind her. With the check in over Kurama quickly picked up his carry-on and began to walk off. Kuwabara picked up his own carry-on and Yusuke's before walking off but the raven haired teen didn't notice. Kayko was first to respond to the fact that Yusuke wasn't following Kurama and Kuwabara.

"Yusuke!" she cried bringing Yusuke back. Realizing he was alone, he rushed off to find Kurama and Kuwabara. It didn't take him very long. At the appearance of Yusuke, Kuwabara threw the teen's green bag into his chest. Kurama rolled his eyes lightly as Yusuke rushed forward to Kuwabara.

"Want to start a fight!?" Yusuke cried at his teammate. Kuwabara shook his head no and waited for Yusuke to stalk off before leaning to Kurama and muttering, 'I could've taken him. Just didn't want to.' Kurama laughed lightly before watching Yusuke and making sure the teen found his way to Kayko's side. Once Yusuke was set, Kurama watched as Kuwabara rushed toward Yukina. [When is he ever going to get the fact that she doesn't like him?[ I think its more she doesn't understand the idea of flirting. [Flirting!? That is such an easy thing to understand![ Remember Yoko, Yukina comes from an all female world. Unless they're lesbians, flirting is never needed. [Oh...[

"Sorry to interrupt your thoughts," called a voice. Kurama jumped slightly before turning and seeing Genkai at his side. Giving the elder a smile he wondered why she wanted to talk to him. "I have a bad feeling. Stay on guard wherever you go, even if everyone else thinks the place is safe."

"I've had that feeling as well. I was hoping to talk to Hiei about it. See if his Jagan has picked up on anything," Kurama answered his voice turning serious. Genkai nodded and turned to look at Yusuke and Kuwabara. Sighing she turned back to Kurama as everyone began to head over to the security area.

"What do you know about your mother's friends?"

"Not much. I wish I knew more about them. They both are families of four. One has a mother, a father, and two daughters, with one daughter a year older than me and the other a few years younger. The other family's two kids are a girl and boy, the boy being about three and a half years older than me and the girl is a year older. Unfortunately, that's about it. I barely even know their names." Kurama answered truthfully as both of them began to tag after the rest of the group. Genkai frowned and looked away from Kurama.

"That's not that much. Be careful what you tell or show these people. You may want to avoid using your powers. We don't want a bunch of demons going to America trying to kill you four only to end up killing one of your mother's friends," Genkai muttered, her voice sounding stressed. Kurama nodded in agreement. "I hear you've been trying to teach Yusuke and Kuwabara English. How is it going?"

"Not so well, admittedly. Kuwabara is catching on better than Yusuke but they still only know the basics like 'hello, food, thank you, please, excuse me,' and things needed in everyday life. So really they barely know anything. If anyone tries to have a conversation with them, they'd end up thinking Yusuke and Kuwabara are retards," Kurama replied. Genkai sighed. Slowly she dug into her robes and pulled something out only to stare at her hand afterward. "What is that?"

"I want you to somehow put these on Yusuke and Kuwabara. They are small translation charms that I've been working on. I haven't done extensive tests on them, but they should do until you fully teach Yusuke and Kuwabara the language," Genkai whispered. Kurama nodded and opened his hand to accept the charms which Genkai slowly placed into his hands. "I want to know every side effect."

"Side effects?" Kurama asked surprised that Genkai would ask for something like that. But Genkai simply nodded. This made Kurama worry. "But Genkai, why use a barely tested charm on Yusuke and Kuwabara?"

"You think I'm going to use it on me?" Genkai answered back making Kurama sigh. She smirked and looked to Kurama. "I need that tested and tested well. Don't let me down Kurama."

"I won't but out of curiosity, could the bad feelings that we both have, deal with these charms?" Kurama asked. Genkai turned and gave the fox a dark glare. [Nice one![ Shut up! Kurama thought before giving Genkai a half hearted laugh.

"The least you could do is test it. What is the worst that could happen, Yusuke and Kuwabara turn evil and want to destroy the world? Think about it," Genkai said her sarcasm getting the best of her. This time Kurama gave a hearty laugh.

"I guess you're right. Should I tell Yusuke and Kuwabara about it or not?" Kurama asked. Genkai shrugged as she turned to watch as Yusuke and Kuwabara, who were leading the group, stopped.

"Do it as you see fit. But I suggest you don't tell them that it has never been tested," Genkai responded leaving Kurama stopped in the middle of the airport in shock.

"Hey, Hiei!" called Yusuke from up front, which shook Kurama out of his shock. Rushing past everyone, Kurama made it up front with Yusuke and Kuwabara to see Hiei, the 4'10" demon with spiked black hair and a white starburst. His red eyes glared darkly at the group. Of course, Hiei was in his normal attire of white bandana, white scarf, black cloak, black pants, white leg wraps, and black shoes. Kurama rolled his eyes at the demon as Yusuke spoke. "Don't you have other clothes?"

"You'll never see them," was Hiei's answer. Kuwabara laughed at Yusuke as Kurama walked closer to Hiei.

"Please tell me you checked your katana in with your bag," Kurama whispered. Hiei snorted. (Don't worry. I checked it in with your bags. I didn't check a bag in.) (Hiei! How many bags are you bringing?) (Enough.) ([Meaning only one. The one at his side.[) (Yoko!) After that Hiei didn't respond. He spun around picking up the black duffle bag at his side and began to head over to security. Kurama, Kuwabara and Yusuke followed having already said their goodbyes to all the girls. But even as they walked through the lines, the girls said goodbye. Kayko rushed toward Yusuke and kissed him one last time over the ropes that separated each line. Hiei was first at the detectors. Dropping his duffle bag off on the conveyer, Hiei walked through the metal detector and it went off.

"Back up and please empty your pockets," one of the guards said. Hiei backed up but made no move to empty his pockets. Kurama leaned past Yusuke, who was standing between him and Hiei.

"Hiei, get anything metal out from under your cloak," Kurama growled in demon tongue. Hiei rolled his eyes and turned to face Kurama.

"I don't have anything metal underneath my cloak. I have no metal on me..." Hiei answered loud enough for the guard to hear. With a loud sigh, the guard waved Hiei through again and again the detector went off.

"Please go over to the guard standing there," the guard said before turning his attention to Yusuke, who already dropped his bag off at the conveyer. Hiei walked over to the guard and began to follow every order that the man said as he watched Yusuke walk through the detector fine. Kurama came up next and stood by a basket taking off a watch, necklace that Hiei had never seen before, and a few metal coins from his pockets. Smiling to the guard, Kurama walked through the detector with no problem. Hiei turned away with an angry snort as the guard beside him said he could go. Walking back toward Kurama, Hiei picked up his bag just as a buzzer went off. "Please back up and empty your pockets."

It was Kuwabara trying to get through. After backing up, Kuwabara stood by a basket emptying every pocket he had. Coins, video games, a Gameboy, and a few other things piled into the basket before Kuwabara could walk freely through the detector with no problem. Rolling his eyes, Hiei spun around to head toward the gate before hearing Yukina.

"Goodbye Hiei! Have fun! Bye Kazuma! Don't get into any trouble! See you in a year!" Yukina called. Turning his head to face Yukina, Hiei watched as she frantically waved like Kayko was to Yusuke. Botan was waving to no one in particular while Genkai and Shizuru stood there simply watching. A hand on his shoulder made Hiei jump and spin.

"Didn't mean to scare you but we have to go," Kurama said. Hiei snorted before walking off. Yusuke came to Kurama's side and the duo watched Hiei. When Yusuke turned around, Kurama followed his gaze to see Kuwabara walking in the wrong direction. Sighing, Kurama went to go get Kuwabara.

"No! Let him figure it out," Yusuke said as he stopped Kurama. Behind them, Hiei stopped walking and turned to see what they were doing. (Kuwabara going the wrong way again?) Hiei asked in both the minds of Yusuke and Kurama. At first the two were surprised but then Kurama nodded his head yes and the traces of 'hn' was left in the duo's minds as Hiei continued down toward the gate they were going to be at. Not even one minute later, Kuwabara flew past Yusuke and Kurama.

"I knew that was the wrong way!" Kuwabara cried as he rushed past. Yusuke and Kurama laughed as they began to follow in Kuwabara's tracks. It was only two minutes later that Yusuke and Kurama made it to the gate in which they were to load the plane. Hiei was looking out the window and Kuwabara was no where in sight.

"Want to bet that Kuwabara ran past?" Yusuke asked. Kurama shook his head no. [Take the bet![ Yoko cried, but Kurama ignored the fox demon as he made his way over to Hiei's side. Yusuke followed but sat down in the seats behind the two demons.

"Looking for our plane?" Kurama asked Hiei when he appeared at the demon's side. Hiei gave his traditional answer of 'hn.' Kurama simply gave one laugh. "It will be here in a minute hopefully." Again Hiei gave the traditional answer before spinning around and sitting in a seat near Yusuke. Placing his duffle bag in the seat to his right, Hiei left room for Kurama to sit at his left. Which Kurama took, mostly cause it place him between Yusuke and Hiei. Kuwabara was still no where in sight and Kurama began to frown. If I have to go look for him... [Don't worry. Simply ask Hiei to look for you![ What if he lies[Would Hiei really do that to you?[ ... [Ok, maybe he would...[ Yoko, shut up. [Jerk.[ With a sigh, Kurama stood and placed his green rose-covered bag in the seat he had been in. "Stay here, I have to go find Kuwabara."

"Why!? Isn't it easier to simply sit here and wait for Kuwabara to come back?" Yusuke asked. Kurama shook his head no.

"Easier on the body but on the mind, no. See, Shizuru, Kayko, and Yukina are trusting me to keep you and Kuwabara safe. So if one of you guys disappear, I'll get blamed if I can't find you," Kurama answered before walking off. Hiei turned to Yusuke.

"Want to bet that he comes back alone?" Hiei asked. Yusuke smirked thinking Kurama wouldn't come back without Kuwabara.

"How much?" Yusuke asked.

"1,000 yen?" (A/N: 1,000 yen is $8.00 in America.)

"Dude! Is that all you have? Come on!" Yusuke cried.

"Fine! 6,250 yen!"

"Deal!" It wasn't long after Yusuke said deal, that Kuwabara made his appearance. Hiei smirked and held a hand out to Yusuke but the teen didn't take out the money.

"It's not over till Kurama gets back."

"Where is Kurama?" Kuwabara asked, having not seen or heard Hiei and Yusuke. Looking around, Kuwabara saw Kurama's bag sitting in the seat between Hiei and Yusuke. Yusuke and Hiei barely had a chance to answer before Kuwabara answered himself. "He's out looking for me! I better get him before we have to load!"

With that said, Kuwabara rushed off. Yusuke turned to Hiei with his face saying 'I told you so.' Hiei simply snorted and looked away from the teen. (Fox, Kuwabara returned and is now looking for you.) (Thanks Hiei!) Kurama responded. Yusuke looked to Hiei and frowned.

"You just told Kurama didn't you?" Yusuke asked. Hiei smirked and Yusuke's frown deepened. "That's cheating! Now Kurama's going to come back without Kuwabara."

"This is why I made the bet in the first place. I can tell Kurama where Kuwabara is at all times," Hiei said, his smirk widening as Yusuke's frown deepened. Turning away with a scoff, Yusuke looked toward the gate and smiled.

"The bet ain't over yet Hiei!" Yusuke said his smile widening. Hiei leaned forward to look past Yusuke and saw a flight attendant moving toward the doorway to the plane. Spinning to look out the window, Hiei saw a large metal tube with two large plates sticking out of the sides. On the plates where two smaller tubes with a fan in each. Lips twitching, Hiei stood and moved closer to the window. The movement caught Yusuke attention and the half demon turned to Hiei. That thing snuck up on me. But how? Hiei thought as Yusuke stood and followed the fire demon to the window. "That's the plane. Nice isn't it?"

"That is going to get off the ground?" Hiei asked naively. Yusuke smirked and nodded yes as Hiei's red eyes flicked toward the taller half demon. Grunting lightly in a small amount of fear, Hiei looked back to the airplane. It was then that Kurama suddenly appeared behind the duo.

"Hello!" Kurama cried quickly and had a large smile appear over his face when Hiei and Yusuke jumped into the air in surprise. They spun around quickly to face Kurama, Yusuke's face was shocked and Hiei's was set in a firm glare.

"Don't do that!" The duo cried as Kurama's smile brightened. Ignoring the two, Kurama turned and looked for Kuwabara who had yet to get back. Behind him Hiei held is hand out and Yusuke dug around for some money, making sure to do it slowly in case Kurama decided to go out for Kuwabara once more.

"Ah! Here he comes!" Kurama called looking over the seats to see Kuwabara waving madly at him. Yusuke frowned and handed the money to Hiei who quickly began to count.

"You're going to count?" Yusuke asked amazed. Hiei nodded and continued with counting the money. "Damn untrustworthy brat."

"Hmm?" Kurama asked as he looked over his shoulder to Yusuke and Hiei. Hiei quickly tried to hide the newly acquired yen but Kurama's old thief's eyes caught the sight of the yen. "What did you bet this time?"

"That you'd return alone," Hiei admitted knowing he was caught. Kurama scanned the money quickly before smirking.

"6,200 yen. Hmm, pretty good amount," Kurama called as Kuwabara finally reached the group and looked at the yen. Hiei growled angrily and turned to Yusuke.

"That's why I counted you cheap bastard!" Hiei snapped as Yusuke dug around in his pants for 50 more pieces of yen. Kurama laughed lightheartedly as the attendant called their rows to being seating. Collecting their bags everyone headed on. For some odd reason they ended in two rows, one behind the other with Hiei at the window seat with a wonderful view of the mechanics of the wing. Kurama was sitting next to him with Yusuke and Kuwabara a row in front, directly on the wing. Kuwabara was in the window seat. Kurama smiled as Hiei's red eyes fixed themselves quickly to the wings. In the row ahead, Kuwabara was doing the same thing but Yusuke's attention was shifted on two young women walking on the plane. One was a thin set woman with wonderful looking legs but as Yusuke's eye shifted upward he realized why no one made face contact. Her face was horrendous. Large teeth stuck out at all angles and red dots were placed all over her face. Yusuke shuddered and then spotted the large truck like woman barreling down the isle towards him.

"Oh please don't sit near us!" Yusuke muttered making Kurama look over. The first woman that Yusuke had seen smiled bright when she saw Kurama and the red head had to stop himself from making a face. But the two girls were still coming closer and closer. Oh please let Yusuke's wish come true. [What are you talking about Suichi?[ The two women coming straight for us. [OH MY GOD! Please tell me those are fake teeth![ Kurama thought as the women began looking at isle numbers and their tickets. Finally the thinner woman stopped at Yusuke's isle.

"You're in this row Pansy!" called the first woman as she looked above. Suddenly squealing with delight the girl looked back to Pansy. "I'm right behind you!"

'Oh great!' Kurama and Yusuke thought together. Normally Kuwabara would have laughed at Yusuke's predicament but the orange haired oaf was watching the wings. Hiei happened to look over to the woman and frowned. Leaning toward Kurama he whispered a question.

"Will the plane be able to balance her off?"

KoorimeHiei: That pout never worked on Hiei so what makes you think it will work on me?

Kitsune-Mewtwo: Nothing in particular... I just know you never meant it, anyway.

KoorimeHiei+glare+ Next chapter has lots of torture for the group and we learn of Kuwabara's great fear of flying... YAY!

Kitsune-Mewtwo: So be sure to come back, okay?

KoorimeHiei: And be sure to leave reviews! Just remember: SNAPE IS GAY!
