Mika: Because you just needed to say that.

Kaiya: She does. That's why she did.

Mika: But why did she do something that she already did?

Kaiya: She did what she did because if she didn't do it, it wouldn't have been done.

Firestorm1991: ...O.o

Suki: Will you two just be quiet.

Mika and Kaiya: ...O.O'

Kaiya had found Kurama and Kuronue places to sleep and had introduced them to her grandparents (Kurama was introduced as Shuichi, of course) the next morning. Later on in the day, her grandparents went out for a few hours and they were left to watch Kata and Keiji.

"Can we please, please, please, go to that park, Kaiya?" Kata asked.

"I don't know," Kaiya said. "Would you guys mind?"

"What kind of park is it?" Kuronue asked.

"Please tell me it's not another playground," Hiei grumbled.

"It's not," Kaiya said. "It's really beautiful. It's this huge garden and there're many fountains and even an indoor, old-fashioned carousel. It's a great place to have a picnic or feed ducks. We go there every so often just to take a walk and sometimes feed the ducks."

"I think it sounds like a good trip," Kurama said. "When do we leave?"

"If we go now, maybe we can hit a deli and pick up some sandwiches and drinks and have a real picnic," Kuwabara said.

"Hey, that's the first good idea I've ever heard from you," Mika said.

"Hey!" Kuwabara yelled causing everyone, including Hiei, to laugh.

"So I guess you two don't get along much, huh?" Keiji asked Mika.

"Smart kid," Mika joked. "So, let's go."

"Shouldn't we call Uncle Jiro and see if he wants to go?" Kata questioned. "Keitaro would love to come too right."

Kaiya shot her friends and uneasy look. She didn't know how to answer them. Kurama spoke up for her. "They should be coming tonight, I'm sure. I'm sure your uncle already has plans for the day."

"Okay," Kata said sadly.

"Hey, we can take Keitaro another time, okay?" Kaiya said. "Besides, we are a large group as it is."

"That is true," Keiji said as he started laughing. "How did you all get here anyway?"

Everyone tensed. "Well, we all flew here, duh," Suki chimed.

"Yeah, but all of you?" Kata asked.

"We came at different times," Yusuke answered. "Now enough questions. Let's head out."

"It's really beautiful here," Hiei said to Kaiya. They were sitting on a fountain watching their friends interact with Kaiya's and Mayonaka's cousins.

"I know."

"Why aren't you sitting with the others?" he asked her.

"Just thinking."

"About?"

"Oh, like you want to hear it," Kaiya teased.

"You're upset. Of course I want to hear it."

Kaiya sighed. "I don't know what my father is up to and I don't like it. You'd be surprised but this is the first time in two years I've actually gotten to see my brother or my father and it's not for lack of trying either. It's not even because I moved to Japan. I've barely talked to him because he got so mad at me for something stupid."

"What?"

"I wanted to go to a family gathering and he said no. I went anyway, and he lost it. I feel like he just never wants me around him or his family and I have no idea why. It's hard to respect someone who was never there for you, you know?"

Hiei simply nodded. There was a brief silence before Kaiya sighed again and then continued. "I grew up not knowing who he was and I didn't mind it so much until Sui's dad married my mom and I saw what I was missing out on. I was about Keitaro's age when I asked mom to find him and she did. I met him when I was eight. I met the rest of the family when I was nine. Family was always the most important thing to me and it pains me knowing that I missed out on nine years because my father didn't want to take responsibility. I've been trying to make up for it ever since."

Kaiya and Hiei looked over to her cousins who decided to beat on Kuwabara. Kaiya smiled and shook her head while Hiei just watched on in amusement.

"If it makes you feel any better, I think you've succeeded in making up for lost time. I still have no idea how I'm going to do it."

Kaiya looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"I have no idea if or when I am going to tell Yukina that I am her brother. I still think she'd be better off not knowing. I'm a criminal and I feel she'd be happier not knowing."

"If it helps at all, I would want to know," Kaiya said. Hiei looked at her skeptically. "I'm serious, Hiei. Even if my father is a jerk who could care less about his kids, I'm still happy that I found him. I do love my father, even though he's a creep, but I'm even happier that I met my family. My grandparents, my cousins, my brother…they mean so much to me."

"It's different. She won't gain anything from learning I am her brother."

"That's not true!" Kaiya snapped at Hiei taking him by surprise. He looked at her with wide-eyes and shock. Kaiya took a deep breath to calm herself down after the rest of the group looked at them. "She would gain a brother, one who loves her more than life itself. That's what any person wants in a brother," Kaiya whispered. "I honestly don't think she's going to care about your past. Just like I don't; like none of us do." Hiei got over his shock and he looked down to the ground in shame. Kaiya put a hand on his shoulder and he looked back at her. "And you would gain a sister who loves you just as much as you love her."

Hiei closed his eyes and shook his head. "I don't deserve love. Especially not the unconditional love that I would get from her. I was supposed to die."

Before Hiei knew it, he was being hugged by Kaiya. He didn't know how to respond to that. "If you were supposed to die, you would have; but you didn't. That was nature's way of telling you that you were meant to live. You did what you had to do to survive. I admire you for that. I would have never been able to do it. I probably would have died right away." She pushed him back to look him in the eyes. He just stared blankly into hers. "And never say that you don't deserve love. We all do. Especially the unconditional love you can get from a sibling. No matter what."

Hiei smiled as he took her words in. "I'm still going to say I don't agree with you, but thank you. Now let's get back to the others before Mika decides to jump us."

"Too late!" Mika's voice came out of nowhere from a shadow and then pushed both Kaiya and Hiei into the fountain. The others looked over and started laughing. Kata and Keiji obviously didn't see Mika enter the ground through the shadows.

"Damn it, Mikazuki, I will get you for this one!" Hiei yelled.

He tried to get out of the fountain, but Kaiya pulled him back. After resurfacing, he glared at his giggling girlfriend who just kissed him on the cheek causing him to blush.

"Aw, Kaiya and Hiei sitting in a tree," they heard Kata say in a sing-song voice.

"What?" Hiei asked venomously. "What the hell does that mean?"

"Didn't you ever hear that as a kid?" Keiji asked.

Kaiya smiled and shook her head. "He didn't grow up around here, so no, he never heard it." We'll talk later about what it means, Kaiya said to Hiei as he probed her mind for the significance of a seemingly harmless line. She heard him "hn" and then felt him leave her mind.

"Anyway, Mika," Kaiya turned her attention to her friend, "what the hell?"

"You guys were being so serious and depressing. I had to break that tension."

"Wait," Hiei snapped, "how much did you hear?"

Mika looked at him and smiled. "Let's just say, I now have something to hold over your head."

"Do it and die," Hiei growled.

"Yay, death threats," Keiji said. "We love that game."

Hiei narrowed his eyes at Keiji. "Who said I was playing?" he asked darkly causing Keiji to shiver.

"Whoa, you're good," Keiji complimented. "You totally have me freaked out and you have my respect for that one."

"Hn, whatever," Hiei said looking away. He felt Kaiya grab his arm and yank him out of the fountain.

"Come on, I know this can't be fun for you, Hiei," Kaiya teased. They got out of the fountain and we both soaking wet. "And by the way, Mika-chan, you are so going to get it later.

"I'd like to see you try, Kai-Kai," Mika responded flirtatiously, raising her eyebrows a few times suggestively.

"Stop that!" Kaiya whined.

"Stop what?" Keiji and Kata asked tilting their heads in confusion.

"Nothing," Kaiya said defensively.

"Okay, what the hell just happened?" Yusuke asked.

"I just freaked out Kai-Kai by flirting with her," Mika said.

"We are definitely talking about this later," Yusuke said suggestively. He received a smack in the head from Hiei.

"Whatever perverted thoughts you're thinking, detective, STOP!"

"What does 'perverted' mean?" Kata asked.

"Uh…" everyone said.

"Changing the subject now," Kaiya said.

All of a sudden, the sky got dark and it started to downpour. Thunder rumbled and lightning could be seen in the distance.

"Um, Kaiya," Mayonaka called to her sister. "I can't be out here during a thunderstorm, remember?"

"Oh yeah," Kaiya muttered to herself. "Let's go guys."

They started walking back to Kaiya and Mayonaka's grandparents' house with Mayonaka on high alert. "Kaiya, question," Touya said. "You checked the weather today, right?"

"No, Mayonaka did. I never check the weather channel."

"Mayonaka?" Touya questioned.

"I did," Mayonaka replied.

"I think the question Touya is getting too…was this thunderstorm in the forecast?" Kurama asked.

Mayonaka shook her head. "No, I wouldn't have come out if a thunderstorm was in the forecast."

"Why, are you afraid of getting stuck by lightning or something?" Keiji said.

"Something like that," Mayonaka muttered.

"That's silly," Kata said. "It won't happen."

"Hopefully," Kaiya whispered.

"Did you guys enjoy your picnic?" Jiro asked as they entered the house. He appeared behind Kaiya and Mayonaka, making the two jump. "Well, I didn't know you two were so jumpy during thunderstorms."

"Y-yeah, well, we uh…" Kaiya started nervously before Kurama jumped in.

"There have been lots of storms lately that knocked out the power for days back home," Kurama stated with a total lie, "and we decided to scare the girls during one of those power outages. Bad memories for them, I'm sure."

"Of course," Jiro said darkly. Everyone picked up on his tone except for Kata and Keiji and…

"Keitaro!" Kata and Keiji exclaimed. "It's so great to see you!" Keiji said.

Kata followed by saying, "We missed you so much!"

The three kids ran off to play leaving all of the demons and psychics alone with Jiro. An eerie tension formed in the air around them and a stare down occurred between the guys, Mika, and Suki with Jiro while Kaiya stared at him with fear in her eyes. ~Something about him isn't right.~

You just figured that out, onna?

~Hiei, what did I say about that?~

Not the time. Why do you look so panicked?

~Something feels off, but not like what we thought. Can you probe his mind for information?~

Already tried. It's blocked.

~WHAT? How the hell does he know to do that? Wait, how can he even do it when he doesn't even know-~

"Oh no," Kaiya whispered.

"What's wrong, Kaiya?" Jiro asked knowingly.

"I-it's nothing. I just forgot I have to call mom. I'll be right back. Um, Maya, you wanna talk to her, too?"

"I guess," Mayonaka said trailing off. The two girls ran upstairs.

"Call Kiense," Kaiya whispered. "We need back up…now."

"Kaiya, I don't get it."

"Just do what she said," they heard Suki say.

"Mika? Suki?"

"Kai-Kai, we've got your back. The guys are going to watch Jiro."

"Thanks, Mika-chan. Thanks, Suki. I can always count on you two."

The four girls got into the room where Kaiya was staying. Kaiya noticed that a window was opened. That's weird. I didn't open the window at all today.

"Kaiya, why is the window opened?" Mayonaka asked.

"I…I don't know, Maya."

Just then a blast of energy hit the four girls and they screamed. Four mean in black robes grabbed each other the girls from behind through the cover of smoke and held rags to their mouths. The girls lost consciousness and were taken from the house.

"What was that?" Jin exclaimed jumping up from his place on the couch.

"The girls," Touya answered looking to Hiei who was already running upstairs.

The guys started to run upstairs when Kuwabara paused. He noticed something about Jiro…he was smiling.

"What kind of sick twisted bastard are you to be smiling at the fact that your daughters might be-"

"What? My daughters might be what? I would love to hear you finish that, Kuwabara."

"Daddy?" Kuwabara and Jiro looked to the three kids entering the living room. "Are Kaiya and Mayonaka okay?" the innocent boy asked. Kuwabara felt awful for the kid and knelt down to the ground. "Yeah, your sisters are okay, kid. Our friends would do anything to protect them."

"And that's why we have a problem," Jiro said.

Hiei reached the room first to find it empty but totally messed up. He found a piece of paper but when he tried to read it, he couldn't. It was written in English.

"Hiei!" Kurama called. Hiei said nothing but threw the paper at a confused Kurama.

"To the demons," Kurama read in Japanese, "if you do not come to the park where Kaiya and Hiei took Kata and Keiji yesterday by eight pm, we will not hesitate to kill the psychics. We do not wish to have any human casualties, but if you do not comply with our demands, we will be left with no choice. It is your choice. Will they live or die?"

The guys ran downstairs to see Kuwabara guarding the kids who were cowering in fear. "Urameshi, this guy…he's…"

"A demon hunter," Kurama finished.

"That is correct, Shuichi…or should I call you Youko Kurama?" Kurama's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Why harm your own daughters?" Kurama asked.

"Collateral damage," Jiro said. "I never expected them to be involved in this until I heard Kaiya mention a few times her friend named Yusuke, slipping up on the name Kurama when she had oral surgery…painkillers, you know? And then covering it up with the label of nickname. Accidently telling me of her boyfriend, Hiei. Three of the most famous demons in Demon World. And of course let's not forget her meeting up with Mika and Suki and their boyfriends Jin and Touya, the Wind Master and Ice Master." He laughed darkly. "It wasn't hard to figure out. And what is great is that they are normal names and she didn't know anything about me being a demon hunter so she didn't realize her slip ups would cause a war."

"Why are you doing this?" Keiji asked. "I get that they are demons, but they are good. Kata and I can tell. We can always tell the true nature of strangers."

"You know nothing about demons and their politics," Jiro stated glaring at his nephew.

"And you do?" Kuronue spat. "You would never understand the intricacies of Demon World politics if it bit you."

"Kuronue is right," Kurama said. "Things are much more than they seem. Don't go thinking you could drag us down based on a system you know nothing about."

"Let me guess," Jiro started, "the girls know about your politics, correct?"

"Why?" Yusuke slurred.

"Because if they do, then they are fools and will die whether or not you show up tonight. They have obviously already chosen a side and it is the side us demon hunters will crush."

"Demon hunters?" Kata asked nervously. "As in more than one?"

Keiji shushed his sister as Keitaro started crying. Kuwabara tried to calm all of them down.

All of a sudden, everyone but Jiro heard Hiei tell them, We have to get out of here and we have to go now.

Kuronue smirked and took something from his cloak.

"What are you doing?" Jiro spat. "And what is that?"

Kuronue through a sphere down to the ground and created a smoke covering for the group to make their escape. The children went with them.

"Why are we at the park?" Keiji asked.

"This is where they wanted us to meet them," Hiei responded looking down at the saddened boy. "Don't worry about your cousin so much." Keiji looked up at him. "She's a lot stronger than you give her credit for." Keiji nodded.

"Are you really a demon?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Just wondering, but you're not a bad guy, right?"

Hiei wanted so much to say "yes," but Yusuke cut in. "None of us are," he responded. "We fight the bad ones."

Kuronue looked at Kurama. "I never would have guessed," he teased.

"Like I said, my mother changed me," Kurama answered. "Besides, nothing in this world is worth stealing." He said that last part with a smile. It was a lie and Kuronue knew it and grinned.

"Will Kaiya and Mayonaka and Kaiya's friends be okay?" Kata asked.

"We won't allow anything to happen to them," Touya answered.

"Yeah, they're our friends and we love 'em to death," Jin stated.

Hiei felt a tug on his leg and looked down. He saw Keitaro looking up at him with tears in his eyes. "I wanna see my sisters," he cried.

Hiei picked him up. He could feel the waves of helplessness the boy felt and knew this was probably the worst thing any sibling could go through. "You will," he said. "They'll be fine. I'll…we'll make sure of it." Keitaro nodded and hugged Hiei, taking him by surprise like Kaiya had.

"Well, well, well…look who decided to show up," one of the men from earlier said. "I expected the demons to let the humans die, but I guess I thought wrong."

"I'm not surprised," another man said coming out from the darkness of the trees. "There are some here that have special connections with those psychics. How unfortunate for them."

"We should just end them," a third man said. "Those girls are a nuisance and they obviously side with demons."

"Kuwabara," Kurama whispered. "Take the kids and use your awareness to find the girls. They obviously don't have them here and we need to fight."

They heard an explosion. "Holy crap! What the hell was that?" Yusuke asked.

A fourth man came running out. "Sir, we have a problem! The girls, they…well-!" He was cut off by a fireball hitting him in the back. The guys turned around to see the girls standing there. They looked slightly beat up, but they were okay.

"And that was for messing with a bunch of already pissed off girls, you jerk!" Kaiya said as her hand cooled down.

One of the guys tried to run over to the other guy to help but tripped…or had his feet sunken into the ground. He received a kick to the crotch and a punch to the face. "And that was for threatening our lives for sport!"

Kaiya was about to be attacked but, before the boys could even react, Mayonaka nearly drowned the attacker in her own field of water. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," Mayonaka said releasing the man now gasping for air.

The last guy stood in his place in shock, but when he was about to move forward, he felt someone touch his shoulder. He turned around and was faced with a xenomorph (AKA alien). Before he could scream, the xenomorph ate him and the other three looked on in shock. "And that was for the chloroform!" Suki said.

"Four down, one to go," Mika said.

"I don't know," Kaiya said with uncertainty.

"Kaiya, he may be our father, but he's a demon hunter," Mayonaka said. "I know I don't have the right to talk because I don't know him, but you have to realize what he'll do to our friends if we don't stop him."

"I know you're right," Kaiya said. "But do you remember how hard it was for me to fight you? I didn't really know you either and you threatened to kill Hiei and were planning on killing Sui and Kurama first. I still dreaded our fight and I still regret it now."

The girls grew quiet, and then they heard Keiji, Kata, and Keitaro. They turned around and saw the boys.

"Oh my God, how did we not know they were here?" Kaiya asked.

"Heat of the moment," Mika said while shrugging.

The girls ran over to them.

"I am so, so sorry," Kaiya said starting to cry. She knelt down to the ground. "I'm just so, completely sorry about all of this."

Hiei knelt down in front of her. "You have nothing to be sorry for," he said calmly. "Your father just tried to have you killed for being friends with us."

"He wouldn't have known about you if I hadn't mentioned my friends names…it's my fault that-"

She was cut off by Hiei kissing her quickly. She looked at him in shock. "You talk too much," Hiei said. "That was a surefire way to shut you up."

Kaiya smiled and wiped away her tears. She looked back to the other demon hunters. "They're still alive," she said. "What are we supposed to do?"

"Leave them," Kurama said. "We need to go take care of your father."

Kaiya froze. She looked down at Keitaro and her cousins. "Um, hey guys…what are you doing here?"

"Uncle Jiro told us your friends are demons and tried to turn us against them and then he said since you guys chose to side with demons, you would all die," Keiji explained.

"It was scary," Kata said.

"Why is daddy being mean?" Keitaro asked grabbing Kaiya's hand.

Kaiya took in a deep breath. "Because he's never been a good person," she explained. "I've been trying to hide the truth from you for a while…but we'll talk some other time about that."

"Anyway, he's probably still at your grandparents house," Yusuke said. "We should take care of this before your grandparents get back."

"You're right," Kaiya said. "Let's go."
