Princess Kat: OMG, I'm so sorry I haven't been updating! Here! I have a
tendency not to update things, but I'm trying to keep this one going for
all of you!
Hiei: ::appears out of nowhere with his katana ready to strike::
Princess Kat: O_O Now if you'll excuse me.........::runs like Hell::
Hiei: GET BACK HERE!
~*~
Almost an hour had passed since Koenma had last spoken with the group. Kumi
was restless, running around everywhere. Hiei was leaning against the wall,
eyes shut in aggravation. Mesou was fiddling around with a stick she had
found in her pocket. Kurama was trying to figure out how the stick
interested Mesou. Yusuke and Kuwabara were playing 'rock, paper, scissors'.
And Yamazaki and Eikichi were playing twenty questions.
"An hour is almost up." Kurama said after glancing at his watch. "It's
almost midnight, Hiei. Are you ready to explain to your daughter what is
going on?"
"Shut up." Hiei muttered, not opening his eyes. In truth, though, he wasn't
exactly sure what he would say. When the spell wore off for tonight, she
would be the child he hadn't seen face-to-face in ten years and the child
he hadn't spoken to in two years.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Kumi exclaimed, tugging on Hiei's hand. "Why do we have to
know when an hour is up?"
"Leave me alone, Kumi." Hiei answered warningly, opening his eyes and
glancing down at her.
"O.........okay........." Kumi whispered, eyes filling up in tears as she ran over to
Eikichi. She looked up at him before hugging his legs.
Eikichi looked down at her. "Uh?"
"Err.........come here." Hiei muttered, almost feeling bad. Keyword there:
ALMOST.
"No. Daddy is being mean to me." Kumi whispered, her voice seeming too weak
to talk normally. "I wouldn't be surprised if Daddy sent me away.........because
you don't love me, Daddy." She let go of Eikichi and plopped down to the
ground, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Actually, he did do th—"Mesou started, but Kurama covered her mouth
quickly.
"Man, Hiei, what did you do to the poor kid?" Yusuke asked after losing
another round of rock, paper, scissors.
"One minute." Kurama said after taking his hand away from Mesou's mouth and
looking at his watch.
"Stand up." Hiei sighed, pushing off the wall. 'Is this how she felt when I
sent her to Earth?' He couldn't help but wonder.
Kumi reluctantly stood up, wiping tears off her face.
"30 seconds."
"I don't 'hate' you. I'm just being me." Hiei said. (Ooo.........a un-Hiei-ish
statement! ^.^ ::hides::)
"Aww.........how sweet." Kuwabara teased.
"You do hate me." Kumi answered, looking away. "Mommy hated me to, didn't
she? Is that why she isn't around anymore, Daddy?"
"No!"
"10 seconds."
"Then why did Mommy leave, Daddy?! I know, she hated me, didn't she?!"
Kumi's voice faltered. "Don't leave me, too, Daddy.........promise to stay with
me?"
"5 seconds."
Hiei opened his mouth to answer the child's question, but the spell wore
off.
A silver-white light surrounded the four-year-old child, and when it faded,
she was a fourteen-year-old young lady. Her clothes had grown with her and
she looked confused.
"What the fuck?! Where am I?" Kumi's eyes widened when she saw Hiei, but
she said nothing.
"You are in the Spirit World." Yamazaki said.
Kumi, wanting any excuse to look away from her Dad, turned to Yamazaki.
"You think I didn't figure that out, Sherlock?!"
"What the Hell are you so pissed about, Shorty?!" Yamazaki retorted.
"Maybe it's PMS!" Mesou chimed.
"What the—shut up, you stupid bitch!" Kumi yelled, eyes lighting up with
fire. "I am NOT PMSing!"
"Kumi."
Kumi shuddered. That voice – her Dad. She hadn't heard that voice in two
years. However, she gathered together all her anger and whirled around. She
pointed at Hiei angrily. "You! What the Hell do you want now?! I don't see
you in ten years! Ten fucking years! I don't talk to you in two! And now
you have the nerve to speak to me?!"
"Ooo.........she's pissed with you." Mesou chimed.
"Dude, you really are a bad Dad." Kuwabara muttered.
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
"OH, NOW I'M A SON OF A BITCH?! YOU WISH IT, DON'T YOU? IS THAT WHY I GOT
SENT TO THE PLACE YOU DESPISE MORE THAN ANYTHING?! BECAUSE I'M NOT A BOY?!
I KNOW YOU WANTED A SON!"
"I SENT YOU TO EARTH TO PROTECT YOU!"
"BULL SHIT!" (Sounds like my Dad and me. O.o 'Cept the whole send away
thing.)
"Woah, time out!" Kurama called, getting between the two and holding his
hands out. "Calm down, both of you. I know you two are kind of angry with
each other right now."
"That's the understatement of the year." Kuwabara muttered.
"But that doesn't mean you can be so rude to each other. Now why don't you
two talk this out peacefully?"
Kumi crossed her arms over her chest. "You got two minutes, 'Dad'."
Kurama smiled and moved.
"We'll discuss your fuckin' childhood sob story later. Right now, we're all
going to another dimension. That includes you. And if it wasn't for you,
damn it, we would be there alre—"
"WHAT THE HELL DO I HAVE TO DO WITH IT?!" Kumi shrieked.
Hiei scoffed. "You can't tell me you have no idea why you don't have any
memory of the last few nights. Someone cast a spell on you, so every damn
night for five hours you turn into a bratty little four year old."
"Oh, fuck this shit." Kumi said angrily. "I'm not going to any other
fucking dimension with any of you lying fucking morons! Now why don't you
all go play fucking hero while I go home and fucking sit around doing
fucking nothing because I live fucking alone." (^.^ Sounds like something
I'd say.)
"That was too many fucks." Eikichi pointed out.
"That sounded wrong, man." Yamazaki snickered.
"Perv!" Mesou exclaimed, smacking Yamazaki on the back of the head.
"Ow!"
"I hope you all die." Kumi grumbled.
"Well, now that we have all had a wonderful polite conversation, let's go."
Kurama said cheerily as he shoved Kumi backwards.
Kumi stumbled and fell backwards into the portal.
"Oh, yeah! Go Dad!" Mesou cheered.
"Forget I just did that." Kurama muttered, diving into the portal.
"Buh-bye then!" Mesou giggled as she, trying to show off, back-flipped
right into the portal.
"Darn.........why couldn't she be wearing a skirt?" Yamazaki whined.
"Perv." Eikichi accused while shoving Yamazaki through the portal then
jumping in after.
Kuwabara, who seemed to snap out of a sudden stupor, asked, "Where did
everyone go?"
".........I don't know you." Yusuke sneered, jumping through the portal.
"Oh. Okay." Kuwabara said, jumping into the portal after Yusuke.
The portal turned black and shut.........
.........Just as Koenma walked/floated out of his office with a book. "I found
another cure for the spell on Ku—hey, where'd everyone go?"
~*~ With the Spirit Detectives and their Little Brats – I mean kids! ~*~
Eikichi was banging his head against a tree that had conveniently been in
the spot where they had ended up. "Why me? Why meeeee?"
Kuwabara was looking around, commenting on things here and there. Kurama
and Yusuke were watching their kids with amusement (Yusuke more than
Kurama). Mesou was slapping Yamazaki for being a pervert. Yamazaki was
trying to guard his face from getting a good slap. Hiei was trying to block
out the sounds of Eikichi whining and banging his head against the tree,
Kuwabara just.........talking, Mesou yelling at Yamazaki for being a pervert now
and then, and Yamazaki trying to state his innocence. And finally, Kumi,
being the only one in the group whom noticed a few backpacks lying in a
pile, had dug her own black backpack out from it and was looking to see
what was there.
"What the Hell? I thought I threw these away." Kumi scoffed, pulling two
envelopes out of her bag. On the front of each in sloppy, child-ish
handwriting was written the word 'Daddy'. "Yo! Catch!" She yelled as Hiei
while throwing the envelopes at him like Frisbees.
Hiei caught the two envelopes. "And what do I want with these?"
Kumi went back to searching her bag. "I bought them, one when I was five
and one when I was six. Thought I threw them away. They're birthday cards
for you."
Hiei blinked and, quickly making sure no one was paying attention, tore
open the envelope with the sloppiest handwriting on the front. There was a
card, of course, in it. The front of it read, 'Happy Birthday, Dad! I know
sometimes I've bugged you, pestered you, and tortured you but on this
SPECIAL day, I just want you to know.........' He opened the card and finished it
off. 'I plan to continue. Love, Kumi.'
"Cuuuuute." Yusuke teased. He had snuck over while Hiei was reading the
card and read it by looking over his shoulder.
On normal circumstances, Hiei would have beaten the crap out of Yusuke. But
on this circumstance, he ignored him and opened the second. On the front of
this one it read, 'I'm smiling because you're my Daddy!'. He opened the
card and read the inside, 'I'm laughing because there's nothing you can do
about it! Happy birthday! Love, Kumi'.
"Cute." Yusuke teased again.
"Have you ever had a katana shoved down your throat?"
"No.........why?"
"Because if you don't shut up, you might have some trouble 'kissing' that
ningen wife of yours."
Yusuke took one look at the serious nature of Hiei and backed away quickly.
"Still a "tough guy", eh?" Kumi asked, disgusted.
"I rather thought you'd be happy to see your Dad again." Mesou chimed,
jumping into the conversation.
Yamazaki scooted away from Mesou while he had the chance.
"I guess you thought wrong." Kumi sneered. "Who are you anyway?!"
Mesou put on a fake look of sadness and said, "You don't remember li'l ol'
Mesou?"
"Afraid not." Kumi scoffed, shaking her head while sending a half-hearted
glare towards Yamazaki whom had just stopped Eikichi from banging his head
on a tree and was whispering so quietly she couldn't catch a word of it.
"I don't think you ever told her your name was Mesou, hun." Kurama
suggested.
Mesou seemed to think for a moment before her face lit up. "Meesi! I'm
MEESI!"
"WHAT?!" Kumi shrieked staring at Mesou. She scooted closer, taking a good
look at her face. Suddenly she grabbed Mesou in a tight hug. "MEESI-CHAN!"
Yamazaki and Eikichi, who had been alerted by Kumi's shrieking, were
watching with looks of utter confusion on their faces. "Huh?"
Yusuke and Kuwabara, who thought better than to interrupt the moment in any
way, had scooted over to Yamazaki and Eikichi while they had the chance.
"They're girls." Yusuke said in an obvious tone.
Kuwabara nodded. "Boys can't understand them. They're complicated."
Yamazaki and Eikichi nodded in agreement.
When Kumi finally let Mesou out of the hug (seeing as she was starting to
turn blue), she was talking at a mile a minute.
"Whydidn'tyoutellmesooner?!Imissedyou!Ohmygod,you'vechanged!Lookhowmuchyou'v
egrown,you'resoprettynow!Ican'tbelieve—"
"Woah, slow down!" Mesou laughed. She, also, had scooted back just in case
Kumi thought to go into a hug fest again. "I can't understand a word you're
saying!"
Kurama was staring at the two with mixed looks of confusion. Hiei had
somehow gotten over to Kurama without quite walking or scooting. He had a
blank look on his face, as usual, but if you looked reeeeeeeeeeeeeeal
close, you might be able to tell that he was slightly confused, too.
Kurama glanced (down XD) at Hiei. "Five years old, you get home, say 'hi',
they jump all over you. Ten years later, you get home, say 'hi', you get
'shut up!'."
Hiei didn't respond at first but finally said, "And you can say that with
it being valid – how?"
"Mesou seems to like me, huh? You just wait." Kurama sighed. "She can be
evilly insane, just like you."
Hiei scoffed.
Alas, Hiei and Kurama's conversation had been overheard by two girls whom
they had thought were still having a "friend reunion." Upon looking back at
the two girls, they realized that the two were about one foot away, each
having different looks on their face but neither could be good.
"EVILLY INSANE?!" Mesou shrieked. Her fists were clenched and her whole
body was shaking with anger. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN EVILLY INSANE?!"
Kurama laughed nervously. "You know what I meant, hun, come on.........you know
you got the trait from your Mother, now. Sweet 99.9% of the time and evilly
insane .1% of the time." Not the best choice of words.
Okay, so Mesou's the angry one.
Kumi, on the other hand, looked as close as she could get to 'happy',
besides the little hug thing just moments before. "You agree with Kurama's
little time diagram of kids?"
"........."
"As I thought." An angry look suddenly crossed Kumi's face, surprising no
one. "YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED ONE BIT! MEN NEVER CHANGE!"
"I resent that." Kurama muttered.
"DAD! I'M TRYING TO TALK TO YOU!" Mesou yelled.
"Gomen!"
"Chickens." Kuwabara muttered, shaking his head.
"You shouldn't be talkin', Dad." Eikichi chuckled.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kuwabara growled, bonking Eikichi over the
head.
"I think he's saying you're afraid of women, too, cat boy." Yamazaki
pointed out.
"Cat boy? You're losing your touch." Eikichi sighed.
Yamazaki glared at Eikichi while gesturing to Yusuke.
Yusuke was watching the whole Kurama-trying-to-calm-Mesou-down-while-Hiei-
and-Kumi-looking-ready-to-kill-each-other episode with slight interest.
"Women are scary when they are angry, boys. You wouldn't know yet – you're
not married. You haven't even been on dates."
"You can keep females under control!" Yamazaki exclaimed.
"Yeah, as long as you don't make 'em angry." Eikichi said, rolling his
eyes.
Kumi had abandoned her anger with Hiei and now looked ready to kill
Yamazaki. "What was that, Urameshi?!"
"Apparently you heard me, so why ask, Shorty." Yamazaki scoffed, rolling
his eyes. But then he realized that making a girl, even if it WAS Kumi, mad
was not a good idea. So he backed up a few steps.
"Ah, fuck it! I don't care if we're supposed to be getting along!" Kumi
exclaimed. She threw her fist at his face so suddenly that she actually
almost caught him off guard.
Yamazaki ducked, barely missing her fist. "HEY! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT
FOR?!"
Mesou, whom had been distracted from yelling angrily at Kurama by the small
scene Yamazaki and Kumi were making, was startled to see a human at
Yamazaki's level able to miss a punch from Kumi. "Who is he again?" She
asked, pointing at Yamazaki.
Kurama was caught slightly off guard by his daughter's sudden calmness but
followed her gaze. "Yamazaki Urameshi. Why?"
"He, he just dodged Kumi's attack." Mesou said, looking at Kurama.
"Well, just like Yusuke, when you first meet him.........you can't figure out why
in the world anyone would depend on him – he has no special powers to speak
of! But after getting to know him, you realize he is a lot stronger than
you could imagine." Kurama explained, nodding slightly. "Now why don't you
go break the fight between those to up, before they kill each other."
Mesou looked back at Yamazaki and Kumi. Kumi had tackled Yamazaki. But
before she could pin him down, Yamazaki was able to roll over and pin her
down. But Kumi, being the sweet girl she is, was somehow able to knee him
where it counts. "But it's so funny." She shrugged. Nevertheless, she ran
over to break it up.
"Hiei – calm down." Kurama ordered suddenly. It sounded like a stupid
enough command – Hiei looked calm.
"I am calm." Hiei growled.
Kurama watched Mesou trying to hold Kumi back and yell at Eikichi to help,
but continued to talk with Hiei. "I know how you must feel. You can't deny
it, she's like her Mother in ways. But you need to stay calm. I know you
are still angry at Ka—Kumi's Mom. Don't take it out on Kumi, okay? She
doesn't even realize she's like her Mother at all."
"That's how we used to fight." Hiei shrugged.
Kurama was startled. Normally Hiei just went into withdrawal after
something like this. "Excuse me?"
Hiei rolled his eyes. "You don't remember? She would just pop up out of
nowhere and tackle me. We would end up switching back and forth on pinning
one another down until she would be able to.........well, hit below the
belt. But we had no one to pull us apart, so we would continue fighting
until one of us was too tired to continue. She would either simply
disappear or I would.........I would run away."
"Oh. Hey, look at that."
Hiei glanced at the "children", wondering what Kurama would find
interesting. Mesou had been trying to hold Kumi back and Eikichi, who had
jumped in because Mesou was ready to go and beat him up, had been trying to
hold back Yamazaki. But Kumi and Yamazaki had broken free and were at it
again. This time Mesou went to try to hold Yamazaki back while Eikichi went
for Kumi. But the funny thing was, both Eikichi and Yamazaki were bright
red. Eikichi because, well, how do you restrain a crazy demon girl? You
can't just hold her arms back like you can do a human, you'll get your butt
kicked. So Eikichi had done the only thing he could think of – wrapped his
arms around Kumi's waist and held her close, trying to calm her down by
whispering softly to her. Yamazaki was blushing because Mesou had come up
behind him and put him in a hard-to-get-out-of headlock. She was leaning
down slightly to tell him to calm down and though he couldn't –see-
anything, Yamazaki was still as red as a tomato.
"Perverted boys." Hiei scoffed.
Kurama glanced at Hiei and immediately realized that he wasn't as calm as
his response had sounded. In fact, Hiei looked down right angry. "You calm
down, too. They're just being boys."
"You were like that?" Hiei growled, pointing angrily at the still-blushing
boys.
".........I don't believe that's any of your business." Kurama muttered, turning
a little pink.
"I thought better of you." Hiei scoffed. Then he "disappeared" a.k.a. ran.
Kurama stuck out his foot and heard a soft thud. "Hiei! I said calm down!"
Hiei growled, but was up in seconds. This time, though, he was determined
to stay where he was at and not hurt/kill anybody.
Suddenly there was a statement made by Kuwabara that ceased all quarreling
and anger: "Where are we?"
Mesou dropped Yamazaki out of the headlock. Yamazaki, being so surprised he
fell face-first into the ground, sat up and stared at Kuwabara. Eikichi and
Kumi also stared at the moron. Eikichi didn't even realize he still had his
arms around Kumi's waist though his grip slackened. Yusuke smacked Kuwabara
on the back of the head. Hiei and Kurama, just like the kids, were staring
at Kuwabara.
"For the first fifteen minutes we were here you stood and looked around. Do
you mean to tell me that you have no idea?" Eikichi asked.
"Nope." Kuwabara shrugged. "And don't be thinking moron about me, boy;
you're the one who doesn't realize he's still got his arms around a girl's
waist."
Eikichi realized Kuwabara was right. He released Kumi and jumped back.
"Uh!"
Kumi growled and looked back at Eikichi. She pointed at him and mouthed,
'You die next.' Then she pointed at Yamazaki to say he was first.
"You don't even recognize this place a little bit?" Kurama asked, shell-
shocked.
"Nope."
"LOOK AROUND, YOU DOPE! IT LOOKS JUST LIKE EARTH!" Yusuke exclaimed,
bopping Kuwabara on the head.
"Really?" Kuwabara asked, looking around.
Well, it did look a little like Earth. The group was in the middle of a
three-mile clearing in a forest-type area. About three miles out each way
was trees. It looked kind of like a national park you would find on Earth,
except there were no trail markers.
"Baka ningen." Hiei and Kumi muttered under their breath at the exact same
time. Each pretended they hadn't heard the other.
Yamazaki stood up. "So, which way do we go?"
"........."
"You don't know?" Yamazaki asked, staring at the adults.
Everyone was silent for a few minutes. Kurama suddenly pointed right. "That
way."

Almost an hour had passed since Koenma had last spoken with the group. Kumi
was restless, running around everywhere. Hiei was leaning against the wall,
eyes shut in aggravation. Mesou was fiddling around with a stick she had
found in her pocket. Kurama was trying to figure out how the stick
interested Mesou. Yusuke and Kuwabara were playing 'rock, paper, scissors'.
And Yamazaki and Eikichi were playing twenty questions.
"An hour is almost up." Kurama said after glancing at his watch. "It's

"Daddy! Daddy!" Kumi exclaimed, tugging on Hiei's hand. "Why do we have to

"Leave me alone, Kumi." Hiei answered warningly, opening his eyes and
glancing down at her.
"O.........okay........." Kumi whispered, eyes filling up in tears as she ran over to
Eikichi. She looked up at him before hugging his legs.
Eikichi looked down at her. "Uh?"

quickly.
"Man, Hiei, what did you do to the poor kid?" Yusuke asked after losing
another round of rock, paper, scissors.
"One minute." Kurama said after taking his hand away from Mesou's mouth and
looking at his watch.
"Stand up." Hiei sighed, pushing off the wall. 'Is this how she felt when I
sent her to Earth?' He couldn't help but wonder.
Kumi reluctantly stood up, wiping tears off her face.
"30 seconds."
"I don't 'hate' you. I'm just being me." Hiei said. (Ooo.........a un-Hiei-ish
statement! ^.^ ::hides::)
"Aww.........how sweet." Kuwabara teased.
"You do hate me." Kumi answered, looking away. "Mommy hated me to, didn't
she? Is that why she isn't around anymore, Daddy?"
"No!"
"10 seconds."
"Then why did Mommy leave, Daddy?! I know, she hated me, didn't she?!"
Kumi's voice faltered. "Don't leave me, too, Daddy.........promise to stay with

"5 seconds."

"That's the understatement of the year." Kuwabara muttered.
"But that doesn't mean you can be so rude to each other. Now why don't you

Eikichi was banging his head against a tree that had conveniently been in

Kuwabara was looking around, commenting on things here and there. Kurama

Hiei blinked and, quickly making sure no one was paying attention, tore
open the envelope with the sloppiest handwriting on the front. There was a
card, of course, in it. The front of it read, 'Happy Birthday, Dad! I know
sometimes I've bugged you, pestered you, and tortured you but on this
SPECIAL day, I just want you to know.........' He opened the card and finished it
off. 'I plan to continue. Love, Kumi.'
"Cuuuuute." Yusuke teased. He had snuck over while Hiei was reading the
card and read it by looking over his shoulder.
On normal circumstances, Hiei would have beaten the crap out of Yusuke. But
on this circumstance, he ignored him and opened the second. On the front of
this one it read, 'I'm smiling because you're my Daddy!'. He opened the
card and read the inside, 'I'm laughing because there's nothing you can do
about it! Happy birthday! Love, Kumi'.
"Cute." Yusuke teased again.
"Have you ever had a katana shoved down your throat?"
"No.........why?"
"Because if you don't shut up, you might have some trouble 'kissing' that
ningen wife of yours."
Yusuke took one look at the serious nature of Hiei and backed away quickly.
"Still a "tough guy", eh?" Kumi asked, disgusted.
"I rather thought you'd be happy to see your Dad again." Mesou chimed,
jumping into the conversation.
Yamazaki scooted away from Mesou while he had the chance.
"I guess you thought wrong." Kumi sneered. "Who are you anyway?!"
Mesou put on a fake look of sadness and said, "You don't remember li'l ol'
Mesou?"
"Afraid not." Kumi scoffed, shaking her head while sending a half-hearted
glare towards Yamazaki whom had just stopped Eikichi from banging his head
on a tree and was whispering so quietly she couldn't catch a word of it.
"I don't think you ever told her your name was Mesou, hun." Kurama
suggested.
Mesou seemed to think for a moment before her face lit up. "Meesi! I'm
MEESI!"
"WHAT?!" Kumi shrieked staring at Mesou. She scooted closer, taking a good
look at her face. Suddenly she grabbed Mesou in a tight hug. "MEESI-CHAN!"
Yamazaki and Eikichi, who had been alerted by Kumi's shrieking, were
watching with looks of utter confusion on their faces. "Huh?"
Yusuke and Kuwabara, who thought better than to interrupt the moment in any
way, had scooted over to Yamazaki and Eikichi while they had the chance.
"They're girls." Yusuke said in an obvious tone.
Kuwabara nodded. "Boys can't understand them. They're complicated."
Yamazaki and Eikichi nodded in agreement.
When Kumi finally let Mesou out of the hug (seeing as she was starting to
turn blue), she was talking at a mile a minute.
"Whydidn'tyoutellmesooner?!Imissedyou!Ohmygod,you'vechanged!Lookhowmuchyou'v
egrown,you'resoprettynow!Ican'tbelieve—"
"Woah, slow down!" Mesou laughed. She, also, had scooted back just in case
Kumi thought to go into a hug fest again. "I can't understand a word you're
saying!"
Kurama was staring at the two with mixed looks of confusion. Hiei had
somehow gotten over to Kurama without quite walking or scooting. He had a
blank look on his face, as usual, but if you looked reeeeeeeeeeeeeeal
close, you might be able to tell that he was slightly confused, too.
Kurama glanced (down XD) at Hiei. "Five years old, you get home, say 'hi',
they jump all over you. Ten years later, you get home, say 'hi', you get
'shut up!'."
Hiei didn't respond at first but finally said, "And you can say that with
it being valid – how?"
"Mesou seems to like me, huh? You just wait." Kurama sighed. "She can be
evilly insane, just like you."
Hiei scoffed.
Alas, Hiei and Kurama's conversation had been overheard by two girls whom
they had thought were still having a "friend reunion." Upon looking back at
the two girls, they realized that the two were about one foot away, each
having different looks on their face but neither could be good.
"EVILLY INSANE?!" Mesou shrieked. Her fists were clenched and her whole
body was shaking with anger. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN EVILLY INSANE?!"
Kurama laughed nervously. "You know what I meant, hun, come on.........you know
you got the trait from your Mother, now. Sweet 99.9% of the time and evilly
insane .1% of the time." Not the best choice of words.
Okay, so Mesou's the angry one.
Kumi, on the other hand, looked as close as she could get to 'happy',
besides the little hug thing just moments before. "You agree with Kurama's
little time diagram of kids?"
"........."
"As I thought." An angry look suddenly crossed Kumi's face, surprising no
one. "YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED ONE BIT! MEN NEVER CHANGE!"
"I resent that." Kurama muttered.
"DAD! I'M TRYING TO TALK TO YOU!" Mesou yelled.
"Gomen!"
"Chickens." Kuwabara muttered, shaking his head.
"You shouldn't be talkin', Dad." Eikichi chuckled.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kuwabara growled, bonking Eikichi over the
head.
"I think he's saying you're afraid of women, too, cat boy." Yamazaki
pointed out.
"Cat boy? You're losing your touch." Eikichi sighed.
Yamazaki glared at Eikichi while gesturing to Yusuke.
Yusuke was watching the whole Kurama-trying-to-calm-Mesou-down-while-Hiei-
and-Kumi-looking-ready-to-kill-each-other episode with slight interest.
"Women are scary when they are angry, boys. You wouldn't know yet – you're
not married. You haven't even been on dates."
"You can keep females under control!" Yamazaki exclaimed.
"Yeah, as long as you don't make 'em angry." Eikichi said, rolling his
eyes.
Kumi had abandoned her anger with Hiei and now looked ready to kill
Yamazaki. "What was that, Urameshi?!"
"Apparently you heard me, so why ask, Shorty." Yamazaki scoffed, rolling
his eyes. But then he realized that making a girl, even if it WAS Kumi, mad
was not a good idea. So he backed up a few steps.
"Ah, fuck it! I don't care if we're supposed to be getting along!" Kumi
exclaimed. She threw her fist at his face so suddenly that she actually
almost caught him off guard.
Yamazaki ducked, barely missing her fist. "HEY! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT
FOR?!"
Mesou, whom had been distracted from yelling angrily at Kurama by the small
scene Yamazaki and Kumi were making, was startled to see a human at
Yamazaki's level able to miss a punch from Kumi. "Who is he again?" She
asked, pointing at Yamazaki.
Kurama was caught slightly off guard by his daughter's sudden calmness but
followed her gaze. "Yamazaki Urameshi. Why?"
"He, he just dodged Kumi's attack." Mesou said, looking at Kurama.
"Well, just like Yusuke, when you first meet him.........you can't figure out why
in the world anyone would depend on him – he has no special powers to speak
of! But after getting to know him, you realize he is a lot stronger than
you could imagine." Kurama explained, nodding slightly. "Now why don't you
go break the fight between those to up, before they kill each other."
Mesou looked back at Yamazaki and Kumi. Kumi had tackled Yamazaki. But
before she could pin him down, Yamazaki was able to roll over and pin her
down. But Kumi, being the sweet girl she is, was somehow able to knee him
where it counts. "But it's so funny." She shrugged. Nevertheless, she ran
over to break it up.
"Hiei – calm down." Kurama ordered suddenly. It sounded like a stupid
enough command – Hiei looked calm.
"I am calm." Hiei growled.
Kurama watched Mesou trying to hold Kumi back and yell at Eikichi to help,
but continued to talk with Hiei. "I know how you must feel. You can't deny
it, she's like her Mother in ways. But you need to stay calm. I know you
are still angry at Ka—Kumi's Mom. Don't take it out on Kumi, okay? She
doesn't even realize she's like her Mother at all."
"That's how we used to fight." Hiei shrugged.
Kurama was startled. Normally Hiei just went into withdrawal after
something like this. "Excuse me?"
Hiei rolled his eyes. "You don't remember? She would just pop up out of
nowhere and tackle me. We would end up switching back and forth on pinning
one another down until she would be able to.........well, hit below the
belt. But we had no one to pull us apart, so we would continue fighting
until one of us was too tired to continue. She would either simply
disappear or I would.........I would run away."
"Oh. Hey, look at that."
Hiei glanced at the "children", wondering what Kurama would find
interesting. Mesou had been trying to hold Kumi back and Eikichi, who had
jumped in because Mesou was ready to go and beat him up, had been trying to
hold back Yamazaki. But Kumi and Yamazaki had broken free and were at it
again. This time Mesou went to try to hold Yamazaki back while Eikichi went
for Kumi. But the funny thing was, both Eikichi and Yamazaki were bright
red. Eikichi because, well, how do you restrain a crazy demon girl? You
can't just hold her arms back like you can do a human, you'll get your butt
kicked. So Eikichi had done the only thing he could think of – wrapped his
arms around Kumi's waist and held her close, trying to calm her down by
whispering softly to her. Yamazaki was blushing because Mesou had come up
behind him and put him in a hard-to-get-out-of headlock. She was leaning
down slightly to tell him to calm down and though he couldn't –see-
anything, Yamazaki was still as red as a tomato.
"Perverted boys." Hiei scoffed.
Kurama glanced at Hiei and immediately realized that he wasn't as calm as
his response had sounded. In fact, Hiei looked down right angry. "You calm
down, too. They're just being boys."
"You were like that?" Hiei growled, pointing angrily at the still-blushing
boys.
".........I don't believe that's any of your business." Kurama muttered, turning
a little pink.
"I thought better of you." Hiei scoffed. Then he "disappeared" a.k.a. ran.
Kurama stuck out his foot and heard a soft thud. "Hiei! I said calm down!"
Hiei growled, but was up in seconds. This time, though, he was determined
to stay where he was at and not hurt/kill anybody.
Suddenly there was a statement made by Kuwabara that ceased all quarreling
and anger: "Where are we?"
Mesou dropped Yamazaki out of the headlock. Yamazaki, being so surprised he
fell face-first into the ground, sat up and stared at Kuwabara. Eikichi and
Kumi also stared at the moron. Eikichi didn't even realize he still had his
arms around Kumi's waist though his grip slackened. Yusuke smacked Kuwabara
on the back of the head. Hiei and Kurama, just like the kids, were staring
at Kuwabara.
"For the first fifteen minutes we were here you stood and looked around. Do
you mean to tell me that you have no idea?" Eikichi asked.
"Nope." Kuwabara shrugged. "And don't be thinking moron about me, boy;
you're the one who doesn't realize he's still got his arms around a girl's
waist."
Eikichi realized Kuwabara was right. He released Kumi and jumped back.
"Uh!"
Kumi growled and looked back at Eikichi. She pointed at him and mouthed,
'You die next.' Then she pointed at Yamazaki to say he was first.
"You don't even recognize this place a little bit?" Kurama asked, shell-
shocked.
"Nope."
"LOOK AROUND, YOU DOPE! IT LOOKS JUST LIKE EARTH!" Yusuke exclaimed,
bopping Kuwabara on the head.
"Really?" Kuwabara asked, looking around.
Well, it did look a little like Earth. The group was in the middle of a
three-mile clearing in a forest-type area. About three miles out each way
was trees. It looked kind of like a national park you would find on Earth,
except there were no trail markers.
"Baka ningen." Hiei and Kumi muttered under their breath at the exact same
time. Each pretended they hadn't heard the other.
Yamazaki stood up. "So, which way do we go?"
"........."
"You don't know?" Yamazaki asked, staring at the adults.
Everyone was silent for a few minutes. Kurama suddenly pointed right. "That
way."
