Chapter 3 –

While Kurama and Hiei were having fun with their new teammates, Kuwabara and Yusuke were about to experience something of the same sort.

"Where in the hell are we?!" Yusuke shouted angrily. He had taken the team separation a little more personally than the others, but Kuwabara's feelings weren't to much behind Yusuke's.

"New York City, New York," Bras answered, eye their surroundings. His group entered the city in almost exactly the same alley, only ten blocks away. He covered his nose with his arm at the pungent smell that surrounded them.

"Thank you for pointing that out," Falk said sulking, obviously not happy with the separation. He was sullen, hands in pockets, and kicking at a old box with free kittens written across it.

"Lets get out of this alley at least," Bras suggested, heading towards the end with a crowded street. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Falk followed glumly, out onto the over crowded New York street. They all stood back to back to examine their surroundings.

"Uh, guys?" Kuwabara said, "What was the place called that we were looking for, again?"

"Saks Fifth Avenue," Bras said turning to him, "Why?" but the name on the building they were now facing answered his question.

"That worked out nicely," Falk said, slightly surprised.

"Ok well the clue is at the corner and seeing as not to many people leave important things laying around New York City, my guess is it'd be hidden in a brick in the wall," Bras said, walking back down the ally way. Yusuke and Kuwabara followed, and watched as bras seemed to pick the right brick on the right corner of the building, definitely arousing suspicion.

"How the hell did you know where it was so quick," Yusuke sputtered.

"Yeah," Kuwabara added, "what are you up to?"

"I went to the side of the building that was most isolated, and looked at the cement surrounding the bricks for evidence of one being previously scratched out and used for this stupid race," Bras answered simply.

"Don't worry he's just a bit of a genius smart ass," Falk said answering Yusuke and Kuwabara's questioning looks.

"It doesn't take a genius to think of the obvious," Bras snapped, thoroughly irritated, which made Falk cheer up.

"Anyway, Mr. PMS, what is the clue?" Falk asked tauntingly.

Bras pulled the folded up piece of paper and found it, just as Hiei and Kurama's team will, to be blank.

"That's useless," Yusuke said sourly, "How is a piece of blank scrap paper a clue?"

"It's probably written on their with invisible ink," Bras said examining it.

"So how do we read invisible ink?" Kuwabara asked, hoping he wasn't the only one who didn't know.

"Lemon juice is the most common way, but there are a lot more that I don't know," Bras answered.

-----------------------------------------------Some time later------------------------------------------

"How do we make the ink visible?" Hiei asked in his usual bored tone.

"Lemon juice, apple juice, orange juice, onion juice, milk, a sugar solution, diluted honey, diluted coke, vinegar or wine, soapy water, urine, red cabbage water, ammonia fumes, sodium carbonate, sodium iodide, ammoniuum hydroxide, patassium ferricyanide, sodium sulfide, iodine solutions and silver nitrate," Eris said, much to the surprise, and greatly enormous shock, of everybody.

"I'm sorry I must have fallen asleep or something, what did you just say?" Cyan asked shocked.

"How do you know all of that?" Kurama asked.

"Espionage training," she answered, starting to feeling uncomfortable with everyone staring at her.

"Espionage training?" Hiei asked

"I took a course at a community college, its astonishing what they teach the public nowadays," She piped happily.

"Ok, my brain hurts," Cyan said rubbing her temples, "I've known you for years, and moments like these still surprise me."

"Back to the clue, which of those methods do we us to make the ink visible?" Kurama asked.

Eris grabbed the slip of paper from Cyan and studied it closely. Then smelled it.

"Probably just plan lemon juice would work," she said finally, "and if it doesn't then at least it wouldn't ruin the paper."

"Ok, lets go buy a lemon," Cyan said turning to leave the very olfactory insulting ally way.

"I have one," Eris announced proudly, rummaging through her messenger bag that nobody noticed she had.

"Where did that bag come from?" Hiei asked, "And why do you carry lemons with you?"

"You never know when the occasion will arise where you need to flavor your tea or fish with lemon and none is insight. That's why I come prepared and also carry salt, pepper, sporks, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise packages." Eris answered eradicating all thought that she might actually hold more intelligence, "And I've always had this bag."

"Right," Hiei murmured.

Yes I'm late, but do you know how frustrating three weeks without internet is? I truly thought I'd die, I was so bored. And I also found out that I can't use my library card due to the fact that I have a over due book from the 18th… of July. Yeah, there charging me like 25$ for the 'lost book' (which is actually in my backpack) and about another 30 in late fees so I'm not going there anytime soon. Thanks for reading and please keep reviewing. I'll keep posting… unless I see people aren't really reading and/or reviewing… then I guess I'll quit then, I know when I'm not wanted sniff
