Crystal: Ah….little t little t

Kai: Crystal…I don't think they can see it the way they do

Crystal: BUT IT'S SO KAWAII!

Rachel: It's a piece of font…

Crystal: SO! OH! Chinese food *eats Orange Chicken*

Kai: O.O *pulls out chopsticks* I WANT SOME *sits near Crystal and tries to stab chicken out of Chinese container*

Crystal: Mine…

Caylin: Uh…I think that you all know the disclaimer…I have to go and referee a fight…

~*~*~

Twisting her pendant, the portal closed, and Mickey turned to face the rest of the 'gang'.

"Where to first?" Kai asked. Mickey went into thought.

"Well, it's a Monday, 11am, where would Yusuke and Kuwabara be?" Rachel asked, touching her chin in an L.

"Well, normal people would be at school, but them?" Alethia asked.

"How about we find the easy ones first, like Kurama?" Caylin asked, hearts in her eyes.

"Or we could wait" Sai suggested.

"How about we do, for a few hours, and then walk around. That way, we will look as if we just got out of school, and be able to find them easier, hopefully the three of them" Kai suggested.

"What about Hiei?" Windy asked.

"Not likely to be around just yet, but I know how to get to the portal into Makai, spirit world" Mickey said.

"We could always go there, cause some trouble, and get Yusuke called on us" Rachel smirked.

"They wouldn't send him on that type of mission, remember that. We will have to show up at the school in about an hour, at lunch" Mickey said. "We'll be sure to catch Yusuke and Kuwabara's attention, just hanging around by the gates."

"And looking dangerous" Sai said, with a grin.

"Yea, sure" Mickey said, her eyes in the form of lines.

"So, what do we do for the next hour?" Alethia wondered.

"Stock Kurama!" Caylin crowed, larger hearts appearing in her eyes. The group sweat-dropped.

"That would be a no." Rachel muttered.

"How about we walk there, and just hang out. It adds to the whole…look" Windy said, finding the right word.

"Sounds like a plan" Kai said, stretching his arms above his head. So, they began walking, receiving odd glances around every turn.

"Seems that we're gonna be pretty locked into these peoples minds after this" Alethia muttered. They halted in front of the gates, and found that they had actually taken up forty-five minutes.

"Wow, the one time that Kai's hentai mind is worth something" Rachel muttered, since he had slowed them down, trying to hit on every girl they passed in their age area.

"Ha, see, sometimes it's a good thing" he smiled, as Rachel sweat-dropped, scooting away from him.

"You very much disturb me" Rachel muttered, as she leaned against the brick pillar that held the gate.

"I bet that Yusuke's on the roof, knowing him" Caylin said, sighing a bit. Why hadn't they liked her idea of stocking Kurama?

"Maybe, maybe not, I don't want to pry into anyone's mind today, though, or try finding one of someone I have never met before" Mickey said, as she leaned against the gate that bordered the school, swinging her arms around them from the outside and grabbing onto them.

"Then I guess tracking Hiei will be easier, since you've met him" Sai said. He was sitting on the ground to the left of her, since Rachel was leaning on the brick pillar that was to her right.

"I guess, but who really knows? I haven't seen him for four years" Mickey claimed, propping her right leg on the gate and keeping it there.

"Working since you were 12? Didn't you go to school or anything?" Windy asked. She was leaning against the gate next to Alethia, who was sitting on bended knees next to Sai, who was leaning back, his legs in front of him. Her arms were folded in front of her, her left leg propped against another brick pillar, on which Caylin was seated, Indian style.

"I went to a training school from age 5 to 12, where I also learned math and reading, literature, things of that sort" Mickey said.

"Sounds like my type of school" Kai said, who was seated atop the pillar Rachel was leaning against.

"It was ok, I guess, though I didn't have any friends. You guys are really the only people I've ever been aloud to communicate with, and see almost everyday" Mickey smiled. The bell in the school behind them rang.

"I'm so excited" Caylin squealed as people came out of the building, lunches in hand.

"Remember, act like a gang, Caylin, not a cheerleader" Kai said, receiving a glare from the girl, who was shaking her fist at him.

"If I wasn't wearing a skirt" she muttered dangerously. Mickey cleared her throat, causing both of the charges to look at her, and then glare at each other one last time.

"We might as well act like students though, who ditch and stuff. Or talk about other things that these people sure won't know about" Rachel suggested.

"Good idea" Windy said. "Which brings us to team discussion...like ranks" Windy said slyly. Mickey felt all her teammates eyes glue to her, and she sighed.

"Let me see" she said, going into an innocent state, about to open her mouth to answer. "Like hell would I tell you" she smiled sweetly.

"Ah, no fair, when do we find out?" Sai moaned.

"I told you earlier, to-mor-row" Mickey said, placing the words in syllables.

"This is boring, can't we like, pick some random kid and beat them up to get their attention?" Alethia asked. Some kids walking by overheard her, and scurried away before she claimed a victim.

"No" Mickey said. She closed her eyes, opened them, and looked over her shoulder. "Kuwabara at 10 o'clock" she muttered, causing everyone to look over. Kuwabara was talking to a bunch of guys, some of his friends, when he felt a sudden chill, and looked up to see the gang looking at him. He held their gaze for a while, before turning to his friends and saying something. He disappeared after that.

"I knew letting out a bit of energy would help, get him suspicious" Mickey said, winking at her teammates. He walked out of the building minutes later…with Yusuke, and Keiko behind him.

"We shouldn't do it here" Kai said, scanning around. "Over there, an alleyway" he pointed out to Mickey, who removed her leg from the gate, and smirked.

"Come on" she said to all of them, and they all began across the street. Mickey stood on the side of the street where the school was located, while her teammates were glowing eyes in the dark alleyway. She turned, seeing Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Keiko right before her. She smiled, making a motion with her finger in a beckoning way, before crossing the street and disappearing within the darkness, the eyes going along with her.

~*~*~

"Keiko, you stay here" Yusuke said.

"No, Yusuke, I'm coming" Keiko said persistently. Yusuke groaned, continuing to argue with her, still she finally won.

"But you have to stay near the entrance" Yusuke said in defeat, as she smiled, and nodded. They crossed the street, and entered the alleyway, Keiko standing by a trashcan about five feet from the entrance, while Kuwabara and Yusuke went in about fifteen feet.

They saw the seven teens standing, arms crossing, in a pale light, facing them. From left to right, it was Sai, Windy, Rachel, Mickey, Kai, Caylin, and Alethia. They sort of stared with curiosity in their eyes, while Yusuke and Kuwabara glared.

"What do you want?" Yusuke asked in a dangerous voice. But, he seemed to be directing this question to Kai.

"Why are you asking me?" He asked, a hint of humor in his voice. Mickey sent him a side glare.

"You are the leader, am I correct?" Yusuke asked, raising his eyebrow as if to say he had defeated Kai at his game.

"No, he is not" Mickey said, stepping forward a bit. "That would be me" she kept a serene face when saying this, while her teammates smiled at the looks on Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Keiko's (who they could just see through the darkness) faces.

"That's not possible, you're a chick" Kuwabara said, and Mickey's power flared for a moment, making the two stare at her in an odd way. She walked forward, her boots making loud snaps in the silence. She stood in front of Kuwabara, who looked down at her and laughed a bit.

"She's almost as short as that shrimp" Kuwabara laughed. Mickey snapped. In a flash, she had kicked him in the head, and he was lying on the ground, unconscious. Her leg held its pose for about a minute after impact, and she let it fall back down to her side. Yusuke walked forward.

"You had no right to do that" he hissed a bit.

"Oh yes I did" Mickey said sternly. "Not only did he insult me and my friends, but someone I am quite fond of" she stated, glaring up at Yusuke. She was, after all, only 5'5".

"Someone you're fond of?" Yusuke questioned. Mickey sighed.

"Listen, we really don't want to fight you." Mickey began.

"Hey, speak for yourself" Kai called.

"Fine" Mickey called back. "I really don't want to fight you, so if you'd like to settle it that way, I will just have to get there myself, or with Kurama's help" Mickey said, and suddenly Caylin was at her side.

"Let's go see him, lets go see him, LETS GO, LETS GO, LETS GO!" She called excitedly on Mickey's arm. Mickey nodded, and began walking, but Yusuke grabbed her arm.

"How do you know Kurama, and what exactly do you want?" Yusuke asked, softer then the first time.

"To escort us to meet Koenma, prince of Makai" Mickey said. "We'll explain later" she said, holding up a hand.

"Ah, come on Mickey, you should have left and let us fight him" Kai and Sai moaned at the same time.

"Oh dear god, I'm working with children" Mickey sighed, as she bent down next to Kuwabara, touching him lightly on the forehead. His eyes snapped open, and he jumped away from Mickey.

"Get away from me, shorty" he said. Mickey glared at him. She looked back at Kai and Sai and nodded. They walked towards him.

"One hit, each of you" she said sternly.

"Oh, then we better get him good" Kai smirked.

"But" Yusuke began.

"Don't worry, if they do anything very harmful, I'll fix it. If I can't, then you can hurt me the same" Mickey said confidently.

"You sure are confident" Yusuke said to her.

"I was brought up that way" Mickey said with a small smile.

"So, are we going or not?" Windy asked. Yusuke nodded.

"Mind if I get your names first?" Yusuke asked, as Kuwabara stumbled beside him, clutching his stomach, with a large bruise on his face.

"Wouldn't hurt" Mickey said with a small smile. "The name's Mickey" she said.

"You can call me Kai" Kai said, looking over at the two.

"Rachel here" she said, holding her hand up for a while.

"Windra, but me friends call me Windy."

"Gemini Sai, but everyone calls me Sai."

"Caylin, the all mighty stocker of Kurama" she said, waving her fist in the air while her teammates sweat-dropped and face-faulted. "What?" She asked, looking around.

"And I'm Alethia" she said, as she got off the ground.

"I'm Yusuke, this squirming lump is Kuwabara, and she's Keiko" Yusuke said, pointing over at the girl, who could be seen fully, in a glimpse of light. The team nodded, as if they did not know this information.

"Nice to meet all of you" the team said in unison.

"Same" Yusuke said. "When would you like me to take you to Makai?" He asked.

"We could go now, but we still have to get Kurama" Mickey said.

"YAY! We gonna see Kurama, we gonna see Kurama" Caylin said, dancing around in circles. The team sweat-dropped.

"Ignore our friends' behavior" Mickey said.

"God knows we all do" Sai said, as Caylin grabbed his arms and began to spin him around while dancing.

"Yea, she's just missing a few bricks from her building" Windy smiled.

"Why are you all against me?!" Caylin sobbed, rivers of tears coming from her eyes, as everyone else sweat-dropped.

"Let's go" Mickey sighed, as they all began walking. Caylin jumped around all of them, moving her arms up and down like she wanted to fly.

"Caylin, you can't fly that way" Kai said dully.

"I am not trying to fly, you nitwit" Caylin muttered.

"Then why are you waving your arms around?" Alethia asked.

"Cause I'm hyper" Caylin smiled, and everyone once again sweat-dropped.

"YUSUKE URAMESHI!" Keiko shouted as they began walking away from the school. Yusuke sighed. "You have a school to go to" she called to him.

"Keiko, I'll go to school tomorrow, promise" Yusuke said, holding up his hand.

"How could this be more important then your education?" Keiko asked.

"Because if we do not have this talk, it could mean any of these people's lives and living ways" Mickey said sternly. "We do not mean to interfere with lives here, but what must be done must be done, it will not take long, and he may even make it to his last class" Mickey said. Keiko processed the information. She nodded, then turned, and walked back to the school.

"How far is Kurama's school?" Mickey asked Yusuke.

"About a mile (A/N I really don't know)" Yusuke said.

"And we have about fifteen minutes till lunch ends, we're gonna have to run" Kai said.

"Never been my specialty, but I guess I have no choice" Mickey sighed, as she crouched down near the ground, placing her hands on the cement.

"Getting ready for long distance or something?" Sai asked with humor.

"No, but if I want to run fast, I'm gonna have to transfer some energy into the cement, speed me up a bit" she said, as her body began to glow faintly white.

"So many tricks to learn" Windy muttered.

"Lets go" Mickey said, standing and hitting her foot against the floor a few times.

"Looks like you're preparing for Soujiro's technique" Kai said.

"It's close, not as fast, I can still be seen, but I'm not using that, just long distance running" Mickey said. "Very easy to do, you can run off my power, I really don't mind. Concentrate on my source, and make sure one part of your body is always on the ground. See, simple" Mickey smiled. "Go."

~*~*~

"Alright, we have about ten minutes to find Kurama" Alethia said, looking up from her watch.

"Caylin" Mickey said, turning to the girl. "Find him" she said, and the girl nodded, running off at a super-human speed, dust kicking up in her path.

"Kurama will be thrilled" Yusuke smirked, "another fan-girl." A few seconds later, Caylin re-appeared, holding onto Kurama's arm.

"Good girl" Mickey said, patting her friend on the head.

"Um, Yusuke, would you mind telling me what's going on?" Kurama asked in a calm tone. Caylin let go of his arm, turned around, and sort of looked up at him with glazed eyes. Kurama looked down at her, and smiled a bit. She fell to her knees. Mickey sighed, shaking her head.

"Let's go now" Mickey said. "Caylin, get up, get up" Mickey said, kneeling down and shaking her friend. She stood, but still kept her eyes on Kurama. Mickey sighed. "Go ahead" she whispered to the girl. She smiled widely, before latching onto Kurama's arm.

"Uh." Kurama looked down at the girl who was hugging the life out of his arm.

"She'll let go after a while, now, to Koenma's office" Mickey said. Kurama cast his friends a look of curiosity.

"They said they'd explain when we got there" Yusuke said.

"And the opening I think is close, so let's go" Mickey smiled, and they began walking down the street. Quite the crowd.

~*~*~

"Koenma sir" Botan said, walking into said person's office. He looked up from his paper-work at the grim-reaper, nodding for her to continue. "You have some visitors" she stated.

"Send them in" he said absentmindedly.

"Sir, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama are with them" Botan said. Koenma looked up from his paperwork again. He nodded, as if saying that it made little difference, and Botan left the room.

Minutes later, the door opened once more, and the group of ten walked in. Koenma looked up, a bit startled at the large group. Mickey stepped through the mass of the crowd, approached Koenma, and stood in a very professional manner.

"My name is Mickey, and I am a representative of AYRT" she said, looking at Koenma. He looked at her, in a thoughtful manner. "To put it simply, me and my comrades are a team of elemental apparitions that look after separate worlds from a space craft in the center of the realm. I know it may seem quite confusing to explain, but as things become odd around here, it may be because of this condition" Mickey informed. Koenma nodded.

"You look familiar, have I seen you before?" Koenma asked.

"The last time I was here was four years ago, and the only person I met was Hiei" Mickey said. Koenma nodded.

"And what business do you and your comrades bring us?" Koenma asked.

"We ask for your alliance. A new evil is spreading through the lands, and we do not want to have people turn on us that we are not permitted to kill" Mickey said.

"And why is that?" Koenma asked.

"I am not permitted to say, gomen" Mickey said.

"And if we gain your alliance, and you ours, it will…what?" Koenma asked.

"Strengthen our chances to defeat whatever is poisoning the lands, and recover what lives we once had in these worlds" Mickey stated.

"Did you somehow know I would be asking you these questions?" Koenma asked.

"In a ways, yes, since telekinesis is a gift of mine" Mickey said.

"Well, then I guess you could have our alliance, but you might want to ask word of everyone" Koenma said.

"I'm in" Botan smiled.

"Sure, whatever" Yusuke said, shaking his hand.

"I'm fine with that concept" Kurama said softly.

"UH UH, NO WAY" Kuwabara said. "THOSE PEOPLE ARE FREAKS" he crowed.

"Maybe he needs a bit of persuasion" Mickey smiled, nodding to Rachel, who grabbed Kuwabara's arm and began to dig in her nails and twist.

"O-ow-K, fine-OW-I'll do-ow-it" Kuwabara said, as Rachel released his arm, smiling down at her one inch nails.

"Then, really all we need is Hiei" Koenma said.

"He'll be coming, once he finds my power. Trust me, he will" Mickey smiled, as she walked over to Kuwabara who stepped back as she stepped closer.

"I'm not going to kick you; I'm going to heal your wounds. I said so to Yusuke I would heal anything that one of them caused" Mickey said. She rubbed her hands together a bit, and touched the side of Kuwabara's face. The bruise disappeared within seconds. She rubbed her hands again, pushing them just above his navel, his bruised bone healing in a matter of two minutes.

"Easier when it's not your own wounds" she said, as she rubbed her hands and moved them down his arm three times. "All better" she said with a small smile, before stepping back and looking over towards the door.

"He's here" Mickey smiled, as the door opened and the fire apparition stepped in, hands in his black cloak pockets, looking down at the ground with a glare. "It's been a long time" Mickey smiled, causing the fire youkai look up, shock evident in his eyes. "Well, don't look so surprised to see me" she joked.

"I thought" he began.

"I was a dream. Well, yea, sorta had to get to you through your mind, warn you about upcoming dangers, boost your senses a bit" Mickey said with a small wink and smile. Hiei nodded a bit.

"So, now that we've had a good mission, how about we stop wasting energy since now they know our identities?" Kai asked. Mickey nodded. At once, they all clicked their teeth, and were back to the way they had been.

"I was finally getting used to the spikes, too" Sai sighed.

"I thought they looked cool" Mickey smiled, side glancing a bit at Hiei.

"Should have guessed" Caylin sighed. She was still attached to Kurama's arm.

"Kurama, you have something on your arm" Hiei pointed out. Kurama smiled slightly.

"Your friend informed me that she would let go soon enough" Kurama said.

"Didn't she say that like an hour ago?" Yusuke asked, causing the redhead to sweat-drop.

"Oh, we have to get going now anyway. But, I want you to have this" Mickey said, pulling her hand from within her pocket, and revealing seven, small stars that matched her pendent. "These will transport you to the place where we reside at. All you have to do is think the words Demon Realm, simple as that" she said, giving a star to each of the people from that world, and then giving the extra to Koenma.

"Just in case" she whispered to him, and he nodded. Mickey walked back over to her companions. "Caylin, time to go" Mickey said to her friend, who sighed, and let go of Kurama's arm. Mickey prepared the portal, and watched as Caylin looked up at Kurama again.

"My name's Caylin, by the way" she said softly, before standing on her tip-toes and planting a butterfly kiss on his cheek, and then running through the portal. Kurama stood, eyes wide, a small blush on his cheeks, and Mickey laughed lightly to herself.

"Ja" she smiled, stepping through the portal behind everyone else, and it disappeared behind her steps.

~*~*~

"That was fun" Rachel said, falling onto one of the couches. Caylin sighed dreamily, dancing around the common room, humming a song to herself.

"Wow, to think that that kiss did this to her, and on the cheek too" Windy smiled.

"Well, wouldn't you do the same if Vash kissed you on the cheek?" Alethia asked, smiling. Windy turned and looked at her, eyes wide.

"How did you know?!" She crowed.

"I've seen your room, and can tell. It's extremely easy to tell" Alethia smiled. Windy began to bicker with Alethia about privacy, and Mickey brought the door back into the room. Opening it, the five appeared once more, all asleep.

"Actually, it's almost 5 o'clock already, can you believe that?" Sai asked, yawning.

"I'm starving though, haven't eaten all day" Kai moaned, rubbing his stomach.

"I'll go make dinner then" Mickey smiled, beginning to walk towards the hallway that lead off to the kitchen.

"Oh, I'll help!" Rachel called, standing and racing after her.

"Me too!" Alethia crowed, following and escaping Windy's wrath.

"Hey, wait just a second, I'm not through with you" Windy called, chasing after her.

"That was uneventful" Kai yawned, sprawling out on one of the couches. Suddenly, there was a large flash of light suddenly, and some coughing. "WHAT THE HELL?!" Kai called, sitting up. There was a large clot of dust, and his yell had woken up the rest of the team.

"Shut-up KAI!" Tami yelled, throwing a pillow at him, hitting him squarely in the face. She turned at the sound of the coughing, and sat up bolt right. "This is great, the one time I don't have my throwing knives" she grumbled, rubbing her temples.

"God *cough* lets never do that *cough* again" they heard someone say.

"Hmm, that person sounds familiar" Sai said, scratching his chin. Mickey appeared suddenly before the team, making most of them jump.

"Can't you come here like a normal person?" Kai asked. "Or must you always scare the shit out of us?" He asked, a hint of humor in his voice.

"Oh, I just find it to much fun scaring all of you" she smiled, and then waved her hand and the clot of dust, blowing it away. Before them stood Koenma (teenage form), Botan, Yusuke, Keiko, Hiei, and Kurama.

"This always seem to happen doesn't it?" Mickey sighed. "Always want to use the stars after they receive them" she said. "Will you all be staying for dinner?" Mickey asked.

"Depends" Yusuke said. "Who's cooking?" He asked. Keiko elbowed him, hissing his name in a warning manor.

"Windy, Alethia, Rachel, and I" Mickey said. Yusuke shrugged.

"Guess so" he muttered.

"Well, make yourselves comfortable, I guess. We'll call when dinners ready" Mickey smiled, and she disappeared with a wave of her hand.

"So, what brings you all here?" Kai asked, stretching out on the couch.

~*~*~

Crystal: The next chapter is incredibly short, just to warn you all…

Kai: But your almost done editing, and then you can work on the new chapter ^-^

Crystal: Of course, so I'll begin cutting these notes down a bit…till…yea….
