Tama woke up to a loud crash. She shot up and looked around the room. Everything was still dark. Once her eyes focused she saw a certain wolf demon with a guilty look on her face.
"Do you enjoy waking me up?" Tama asked, annoyed. Nori smiled innocently.
"It was an accident," she said. Tama raised and eyebrow.
"What'd you do?" she asked. Nori's eyes shifted from left to right.
"I was playing with a bouncy ball and it hit that," she pointed to a lamp on the girls' dresser. Tama rolled her eyes and looked at the clock next to her bed.
"It's 3 in the morning," she said. "I'm going back to bed for a few more hours at least. You clean that up and go back to bed yourself." Tama plopped her head back down on her pillow.
"Yes ma'am…" Nori said, sadly. She quickly picked up the pieces of the shattered lamp and went back to sleep.

When Tama woke up again, it was to the sound of the alarm clock next to her bed. She hadn't realized it was set. Yukina must've done it for them. Tama groaned. She hated getting up. Nevertheless, she rolled out of bed. She was walking to the bathroom when she tripped over Nori, who was still sleeping on the floor.
"Ow…," Nori mumbled and sat up. She smiled. "What's up fox?"
"Sorry for tripping over you, I forgot you decided to sleep right in front of my bed," she apologized to the wolf. "I'm gonna go shower, and you can go after me, ok?" Nori nodded. Tama walked toward the bathroom.
"Hey Tama?" she asked. Tama turned back around. "What do you think we're doing here anyway?" Tama's eyes, still half glazed over from sleep, developed a sad look. She mustered up a half smile and shrugged.
"I don't know. But I have a feeling that something's going to go hor…oh, never mind. I don't know what I'm talking about. Forget it," she said as she shut the bathroom door behind her. Nori looked down. She knew that from time to time, Tama would get these "feelings", as she called them, about something that was gonna happen. And she was usually right.
'Well, even if something does go horribly wrong, like Tama says, there's not really anything we can do, so let's make the best of it!' Nori thought to herself. She crawled over to the closet and pulled out her beloved katana, hugging it to her chest. As long as she had her katana, everything was good.
------------------------------------------------------
After they had met Kurama, Hiei and Genkai outside, they had a relatively intense day of sparring. First they had Hiei fight Tama. She surprisingly kept up with him and at times even caught him off guard. That surprised everyone, including Tama, because of the fact that Hiei was so strong and fast.
Nori fought Youko, and she also managed to keep up. Genkai was impressed that both girls were able to defend themselves and even be aggressive against opponents like those two.
Genkai then had Noriko and Tamarae fight each other, which was a very interesting match. You could tell that they did this all the time. They showed no mercy. If one didn't block the attack, the other didn't hesitate to make sure they would the next time. They were incredibly evenly matched. They fought three rounds against each other. Nori won the first, Tama won the second, and the third lasted for three hours, until Genkai finally called it a tie.
"Very impressive, girls," the psychic said as she walked over to them. As soon as she had made the call, the bandits had collapsed onto the ground. "It's no wonder you two are in the group you are. That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow." She walked back into the temple.
Nori grinned as she sat up.
"Hey, guys, wanna see something cool?" she asked with excitement. Before anyone could answer, the wolf demon had disappeared. Kurama and Hiei looked at each other, then around, confused. Tama sighed.
"Nori, cut it out," she said, unimpressed. She had seen her best friend do this trick hundreds of times, and she could pinpoint her exact location every single time.
"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE, COPPERS!" Nori yelled. And if that wasn't enough to give her away, she wasn't paying attention to where she was going. Kurama, Tama and Hiei whipped their heads around when they heard something run into a tree. They turned just in time to see a bunch of nuts fall from a tree not far away on top of a newly visible Noriko. She stood with her hand raised and finger pointed, as if she was about to make a point.
"…Ow," she said simply. Tama and Kurama burst out laughing, while Hiei just smirked, trying to hold back a chuckle. Nori grinned innocently.
&&&
It was about four in the afternoon now. The girls and Spirit Detectives all had been training even after Genkai had left and Nori showed everyone her amazing talent.
Yusuke proved to be pretty strong. Kuwabara, even though most of the time was clueless, wasn't a bad opponent himself.
After all the training the four Spirit Detectives and the two bandits all flopped down on the ground.
"Man! That was fun!" Nori exclaimed. Tama nodded and smiled in agreement.
Then they all heard footsteps coming towards them from the temple. Everyone turned their heads to look and see who was coming.
It was none other than, the ice maiden, Yukina. She was jogging over to them with a smile on her face.
"Tamarae! Noriko!" she called.
"Yes?" Tama asked. Yukina got over to them all and stopped to catch her breath.
"I have more people for you to meet!" she said and giggled. The two demonesses smiled and stood up.
"Alright! Let's go!" Nori said. The two of them followed her back to the temple and into the kitchen. There stood Genkai and two girls that Nori and Tama hadn't seen before.
One of them had short brown hair and brown eyes. She wore a blue schoolgirl dress and seemed to be a pretty happy person.
The other had longer brown hair and brown eyes, as well. She wore a white button up shirt with a tan vest over it and a pair of jeans. She seemed less happy than the other girl.
"Keiko, Shizuru, this is Noriko and Tamarae," Yukina said pointing to each girl. "Nori, Tama, these two humans are Keiko, Yusuke's girlfriend, and Shizuru, Kazuma's older sister."
"Nice to meet you guys," Tama said and smiled.
"Hiya!" Nori shouted. Keiko giggled and walked over to her. She poked one of her wolf ears, causing it to twitch. Nori raised an eyebrow at the girl.
"Those are real?" she asked. She looked at Tama's and poked on of her fox ears, it twitched as well.
"Uh…yes," Tama said.
"You've never seen wolf or fox ears?" Nori asked. Keiko smiled.
"No, I have, just…not up close on a demon, well except for Youko and a couple other demons at the Dark Tournament, but never got to touch them!" she said.
This statement caused Nori and Tama just to look at each other and burst out laughing.
"They're happy kids…" Shizuru said in a monotone voice. "So where's my baby bro? I haven't seen him for awhile and I think he needs a good kick in the ass from me!"
Nori and Tama eventually stopped laughing long enough to point to the back yard where Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama were.
"Thanks," Shizuru said and walked into the back with Keiko following, telling Nori and Tama it was nice to meet them.
When the two bandits finally stopped laughing they sat down at the kitchen table.
"So, watcha doin' Yukina?" Nori asked.
"Just making dinner, Tama, you said you wanted to learn to cook, so you can help if you want," she said.
Tama jumped up.
"Yea! That'd be cool!" she said and walked over to the stove where Yukina had something sizzling in a pan. "Uh…so…what do I do?" Tama asked.
Yukina giggled. And began to explain what to do and Tama nodded understandingly. The two cooked a few dishes for everyone and Nori watched intensely. She was surprised that Tama was actually cooking. When she cooked at their house there was most likely something burning. Nori did admit that was pretty funny…until their only house was almost burnt to the ground. That wasn't really a good thing.
Once the ice maiden and fire fox finished the meal Tama looked over at Nori.
"Go get everyone and tell them dinner's ready," she said.
Nori shot up from her chair and saluted Tama. Tama raised her eyebrows and Nori just disappeared.
She raced outside to see if everyone was out there still, which they weren't. Then she raced around the temple searching for them. Eventually, she ended up finding them in the family room where Yusuke and Kuwabara were playing video games and everyone else just sat around talking. Well, except for Hiei because he's Mr. Anti-social.
"DINNER'S READY!" Nori shouted at the top of her lungs, causing everyone in the room to jump because they had no idea she was there. She just giggled and disappeared again heading back to the kitchen.
"What took you so long?" Tama asked, jokingly. Nori narrowed her eyes at her.
"Bite me," she growled. Tama just laughed and brought dinner into the dining room where a bigger table was.
Yukina and Tama set the food on the table with little help from Nori. After a couple minutes was when everyone had recovered from the scare Nori gave them and had gotten into the kitchen to eat. The room was quite loud. There was Keiko and Yusuke fighting, Kuwabara yelling at Hiei about some smart-ass remark he had made, Shizuru and Genkai bickering about paying for the damage and annoyance Kuwabara had caused the psychic.
Nori and Tama smiled. Their house was never this loud. It was nice to have more than one other person around. Even though Nori and Tama did like to hang out.
They all ate and talked for a while. Nori and Tama were quiet just listening to the conversations, every once in a while they would say something. Then the Spirit Detectives each told a bit about their lives. Well, Hiei didn't say much, because, again, he is Mr. Anti-social!
Tama already knew about it, but Kurama went more in depth about how he is really the great fox bandit Youko Kurama.
Yusuke explained about how he had died a few times but was brought back from the dead and about how he is related one of the powerful demon lords, Raizen.
Kuwabara told about he had a very keen sixth sense and he explained about the first time he was able to create his Spirit Sword when he was competing with Yusuke and other fighters to become Genkai's apprentice.
Then, Yukina asked the girls a question.
"Hey, Noriko? Tamarae?" she asked, in a quiet voice.
"Yea, Yukina?" Tama asked. Yukina played with her chopsticks for a second before saying something.
"I don't know if either of you would know anything about him," she said, looking down. "But somewhere in Makai, I have a twin brother…"
Nori's eyes glanced over at Hiei for a quick second. She noticed him look up when Yukina said something about having a brother. This really made her wonder…but; she went back to listening to what Yukina had to say.
"He was a Forbidden Child on my island called Koorime," Yukina was explaining. "My mother's best friend had to throw him off the island. We both were only babies. For a while I thought he was dead, but Koenma told me he really was alive somewhere! I just don't know where…" the ice maiden's voice trailed off.
"I've never come across anyone that looks just like you in Makai…" Tama said. Nori glanced back over at Hiei again. He was looking away now.
"Yea, but we'll keep a look out, don't worry," she told her. Yukina smiled at both of them.
"Thank you," she said and went back to eating.
"Wow, this food was great!" Yusuke said when he finished his plate.
"Yea, I'm stuffed!" Kuwabara shouted.
"Tamarae helped me prepare it," Yukina said as she got up and took their plates.
"Nice Tama," Shizuru said. "I liked it."
Tama smiled at them all.
"Thanks, guys," she said. She, too, stood up to help Yukina clear the table. Once the table was cleared everyone stayed for a bit longer and continued to talk amongst each other.
Nori wasn't talking much and Tama noticed that.
"Hey, Nor, what's up?" Tama asked. Noriko looked at her best friend and smiled.
"Nothing, just thinking," she said. "I'll tell you about it later." The darkness wolf demon looked over at Hiei again, but he was gone, now. She shrugged to herself and just went back to talking with the others.
Suddenly, in the middle of Kuwabara lying about how he's such a good fighter and video gamer, Koenma and Botan popped into the room.
"HEY GANG!" Botan shouted in her bubbly voice. Everyone in the room, except Genkai, screamed and fell out of their seats.
"Jeez, Koenma, are you TRYING to kill us?" Nori shouted at the Prince.
"You have no idea," Koenma said happily. Then he got more serious. "Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, I need you to come with me."
"For what, binky breath?" Yusuke asked.
"I'll tell you once we get to my office," Koenma told him. "Where's Hiei? He needs to come, too."
"He just randomly left," Nori said. "He's so anti-social!"
"Well, I need him in my office, too," Koenma said.
Suddenly, Hiei just appeared in the room behind the Spirit World prince.
"Hn, what do you want?" He asked. Koenma jumped, not noticing the fire and ice demon behind him.
"Don't do that to me, Hiei!" he shouted.
"You guys did it to us…" Tama pointed out.
"Yes, well Spirit Detectives, in my office, now, this is important," Koenma told them. They all nodded as Botan created a portal to the Spirit World. They all jumped through and the portal disappeared behind them, leaving Tama, Nori, Genkai, Yukina, Shizuru, and Keiko at the temple.
