"Chibi-Usa!" Usagi shouted as her future daughter appeared in her bedroom. She ran up to her and hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much!"
"Really?" Chibi-Usa asked as she returned the rug. "I missed you too."
"Hey! Hey! What about us?" Makato asked and crossed her arms.
"I missed you guys too," Chibi-Usa laughed and hugged Ami, Makato, and Minako. "Hey, where's Rei?"
"I'm glad you asked!" Minako said as she clapped her hands together, her plan getting into action. "She seems to be stuck in some other dimension and we need her back quick! Can you help us?"
"I would if I could..."
"Why not?" Minako asked with a pout. "It's for Rei!"
"I know, but I don't think Setsuna would allow it. Hey! Why can't you get Setsuna to get her back!" Chibi-Usa asked suspiciously.
"Because she is soooo busy and we can't get in contact with her, will you please help? for Rei's sake?"
"How am I suppose to find her if she is in another dimension? I'm not Setsuna..."
"I have a faint location on my mini-computer from when we spoke to her. It's slowly fading so we need to hurry," Ami stated as she typed on her mini-computer. "We will need to really concentrate on Rei's aura."
"Please?" Usagi asked with a puppy face.
Chibi-Usa grimaced. "Alright."

Rei breathed heavily as she ran. The only thing she heard was the pounding of her feet on the ground. She woke up earlier than usual to have a quick run around the neighborhood, to loosen her mind. The thought of leaving was really bugging her. She wanted to go back and protect Usagi, to her friends, and to her grandfather...adopted grandfather, but she didn't want to leave her real family even if he is dead. She sighed and picked up her pace when she saw the house, ignoring the ache in her legs.
"I didn't know you ran in the morning," a voice stated as she approached the house.
"Huh?" she muttered and stared into a tree. Kurama was laying on a branch and stared at her curiously.
"I don't, I just decided to jog today before school," Rei muttered.
"In your gym uniform?"
"So?"
"You know, your shorts are kind of...short to be running around in..."
"What are you? My boyfriend?" Rei said and walked to the front door.
"Maybe," Kurama replied and jumped next to her. Rei rolled her eyes and entered with Kurama behind her.
"I see you are already dressed, so I'm going to change and we can get to school early," Rei stated and made her way to her room.

Rei glared at the Girly Trio as they tampered Kurama with questions and nonsense at lunch. Why were they the only people to sit with him anyway? Poor, poor Shuichi, suffering this everyday.
"So Rei, you are going to do a duet with Shuichi?" Yume asked, resting her chin on her hands.
"That's what the sheet said right?" Rei replied, she was not in the mood to be bother by these girls or by anyone.
"Shuichi, you sounded so beautiful and you are excellent with the guitar," Hitomi stated, sighing dreamily. Rei rolled her eyes and stared at the other tables.
"Rei!" a bubbling voice rung throughout the cafeteria. Rei immediately snapped her head up and scanned the lunchroom furiously. Was that? No, it couldn't have been...
"Rei! Where are you?"
"Stupid! Stop screaming and start looking, you're an embarrassment!" a harsh voice hissed.
Rei stood up and turned around in a circles. Those voices! It had to be them, but where?
"What are you doing?" Yume asked disgusted. "You are an embarrassment, spinning around for fun."
Rei stopped and was about to make a comment before she felt someone jump on her back, knocking her to the floor.
"I found you Rei!" Chibi-Usa giggled and hugged Rei tightly around her neck.
"Chibi-Usa!" Rei exclaimed and sat up, pulling Chibi-Usa off and giving her a hug. "How did you get here?"
"Does it matter? We're here!" Minako stated and pounced on Rei. "Long time no see girlfriend!"
The four people currently at the table stared at them with questioningly looks and did the entire lunchroom. Makato, Ami, and Makato quickly ran up to the three on the floor.
"We need to leave, we shouldn't interrupt school," Ami stated and pulled them off the floor. "We have to hurry back before Setsuna notices."
"But-" Rei stated but was stopped when Usagi pulled her arm.
"Lets getting going Rei! I don't want to face Setsuna's wrath!"
"Who are you?" Yume asked confused. "Why do you have a different uniform, you don't belong here."
"We're leaving," Makato growled and pulled Rei out of the lunchroom.
"It's nice to actually meet you in person," Minako said and bowed to Kurama. "To bad we couldn't talk!"
"Wait!" Kurama said and jumped up, following the females. 'This is too sudden.' The three girls at the table pouted angrily and followed the red-head.
"Your grandfather was starting to ask questions," Ami said as they made it out of the school's gates. She typed on her mini-computer, getting the calculations together. "We be home in a sec."
"What? I just can't leave! I have to do something before I go," Rei stated and turned around to leave.
Makato grabbed her arm and shook her head. "We need to go now, Rei. The information Ami need to get us home is slowly fading."
"But, can't Setsuna get me home!" Rei asked desperately, she didn't want to leave now without saying good-bye to everyone and keeping a promise.
"Setsuna sent us!" Usagi stated with tears in her eyes. "Please come home Rei, you're one of my best friends and I would be gloomy if you wasn't there."
"Yeah, either you stay here or come home, your choice," Minako stated and crossed her arms. Rei bit her lower lip, staring at everyone depress. What to do?
"Got it!" Ami shouted and pressed a button on her computer. "Our strongest aura to focus on would be Luna."
"Alright!" Chibi-Usa said and made her time key appear.
"Hold on!" Kurama yelled and ran up to the group. "You're leaving now?"
"I have to..." Rei said softly, lowering her eyes. "I hate to leave all of a sudden, but this is my only chance home."
"We need to go to a secure area to transport home," Makato stated.
"My house," Kurama said softly. He hated the thought of her leaving, but he wanted to help her any way he could.
"What?" they asked confused.
"Go to my house to transport home. No one is home at this hour..."
"You're leaving?" Hitomi asked excitedly as the trio caught up. Rei eyebrow twitched and she growled softly. They were reallypissing her off.
"I sure am. I'm going home and you don't have to worry about me being in your way of getting a relationship with Shuichi."
Hitomi grunted and crossed her arms. "Like you would have had a chance with Shuichi. You're, like, the complete opposite of him."
"I don't think so..."
"Really? Well, to bad you can't prove your point, you're leaving now."
"Whatever," Rei muttered and walked away. "Come on you guys, lets go home..." Ami sighed and caught up with Rei, she knew she wasn't in the best of moods.
The four remaining scouts glared at Hitomi and made their way to Rei and Ami.
"Whatever! Your looks don't even compare with Shuichi!" Minako shouted before catching up with everyone.
Kurama stared at the three upset girls before running after the six females.
"Rei, what happened while you were here?" Kurama heard Chibi-Usa ask when he kept up.
"A lot of stuff, Chibi-Usa, a lot of stuff," Rei answered softly, not removing her gaze from in front of her. "Shuichi?"
"Yes?" Kurama replied walking next to her.
"I'm sorry about our duet," Rei whispered. "I don't want to go home, not yet anyway."
"It's alright, I'll just drop out of the talent show. It's no big deal. Cheer up Rei, I'm sure we meet again," Kurama said with a light smile. "Be happy that you're going home."
"I am happy..."
"It doesn't sound like it..."
Rei lowered her eyes and sighed. "I'm just going to miss everyone, that's all."
Kurama stared at her worryingly and linked his arm with hers. "Cheer up! I told you, we meet again! I even threaten Koenma if I have too."
Rei smiled and shook her head. Minako walked behind the two with a huge smirk on her face. The Goddess of Love had work to do. Ami, Makato, Chibi-Usa, and Usagi sighed at Minako's smirk, knowing what the Love Goddess was thinking about.
"We're here," Rei stated at pointed at the two stories home. Kurama opened the door and poked his head through the door, scanning the area.
"I don't smell anyone..." Kurama stated softly and opened the door fully, inviting everyone in. Rei led them to her room and closed the door quietly when everyone entered.
"Wow Rei! Your room is so neat!" Minako and Usagi squirmed as they examined the room.
"You have a lot of trophies," Makato stated as she looked at the shelves of awards.
"Yeah," Rei muttered and grabbed her briefcase and her TA Private Girl's School uniform. "Shuichi, can you do me a favor?"
"Anything Rei," Kurama said from his position from the door.
"Can you tell Karasu that I am terribly sorry to break my promise..."
"Ok," Kurama said slowly, trying to figure out what the promise could have been.
"Tell, everyone good-bye also, especially Mrs. Minamino..."
"You can count on me."
Rei smiled. "Thank you so much. Guess it is time to say good-bye huh?"
Kurama nodded and waved his hand. "See ya Rei."
"Good-bye Shuichi."
"Don't say good-bye, good-bye means we aren't going to see each other again."
"See ya later Shuichi," Rei said with a faint smile.
"Alright, everyone focus on Luna's aura," Ami stated as she closed her eyes with everyone else following her lead. Chibi-Usa stood in the middle of the circle and raised her Time Key in the air, chanting. We see was finished, a portal opened above them and they slowly begun to lift off of the ground. Rei opened her eyes and stared at Shuichi. He winked and waved again.
"Have fun back home," Kurama stated as they disappeared with the portal. He sighed softly and sat on Rei's bed, staring at all the pictures stuck on her mirror. He stood up and pulled off one, a picture of Rei and himself at the carnival. He smiled and placed the picture in his pocket, leaving the room. Now, what to tell his family and the school...

"I swore I heard them in here," Luna muttered confused, sitting on the floor of Usagi's room. Her ears twitched and she looked up, seeing six figures falling through the ceiling. Luna let out a cry when they all collided on her.
"We're home!" Minako shouted from the top of the pile.
"You're heavy," Usagi groaned, second from the bottom.
"Say please," Minako stated and crossed her arms with a smile.
Makato growled and threw Minako from top of her. She stood up and helped everyone else up.
"Where were you-Rei!" Luna said and jumped onto Rei's shoulder. "How did you get back?"
"They came and got me," Rei answered softly.
"How?"
"With Chibi-Usa Time Key."
Luna glared at the girls and asked, "Did Setsuna give you promise to do that?"
"Well...not exactly..." Usagi answered nervously.
"What?" Rei asked with an angry tone. "Did Setsuna, give you permission or not?"
"..."
"Did she?"
"No!" Usagi cried and hid behind Makato.
Rei boiled with angry. Usagi lied to her! She could have kept her promise and settled things instead of just suddenly leaving! "Usagi! Why did you lie to me?"
"Sorry Rei..." Usagi squealed in fear, squeezing Makato's shirt tightly. She could feel Rei's aura going sky high with rage.
"I could kill you Usagi!" Rei yelled and took a step forward. "Because of you, I left suddenly, not giving everyone a proper good-bye. On top of that, I broke my promise to my brother!"
Makato blinked and removed Usagi's arms from her shirt, stepping to the side.
"Makato!" Usagi cried as she trembled in fear of the fiery Rei. She shrieked when Rei took another step forward, her hands clenched tightly together. her knuckles were turning white and blood twinkled on the floor. Usagi screamed and ran out of the room. Rei groaned and stormed out of the room and out of the house.
"Rei! Where are you going?" Ami asked worryingly from Usagi's bedroom window.
"Home!" Rei yelled and ran toward her temple. Ami's eyes quickly filled with concern. She had a feeling Rei wasn't going to take this lightly...

Botan ran down the halls of Spirit World's Palace. "I have to hurry to Koenma's office and give him these files or he's going to flip. I swear, busy, busy..."
"Botan," a quiet voice said.
Botan shrieked and dropped the files on the ground. She scanned the hall for any sign of anybody. there was none...
"Botan," the voice rung again.
"Who's there?" Botan shouted and made her oar appear, holding it tightly with both hands.
"At the door Botan..."
Botan blinked and turned around, seeing large black doors. She walked to the door and placed her ear on the door. "H-hello?"
"Where is my sister?"
"Oh Karasu!" Botan stated and sighed a sigh of relief. "You scared me! I thought you were someone that was coming after me like in those scary movies I watched with Yusuke!"
"Sorry Botan, but where is my sister? I can't get in contact with her telepathically..."
"I don't know...maybe she is in school?"
"She would have responded regardless..."
"I don't know Karasu, but I'll go fine out for you..."
"I would appreciate that Botan, thank you."
"No problem," Botan said and picked up her files and sat on her oar. "I have to hurry to Koenma!"
"Please let her be ok," Karasu mumbled and stared at the door desolately.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Miss her don't you?" Yusuke asked as he wrapped an arm around Kurama's neck. He picked up some french fries and continued to wolf the rest of it down.
"A bit," Kurama muttered and sighed. He was dragged into this fast food joint by Yusuke, stating some good food would cheer him up. Kurama thought about it the other way around, some good food would cheer Yusuke up, not him. He had to pay for Yusuke's very large meal.
"Where's Rei?" Kuwabara asked as he sat next to Kurama with his tray.
"How did you know we where here?" Yusuke asked as he reached for Kuwabara's fries. Kuwabara slapped his hand away to receive a glare from Yusuke.
"I was coming here to eat, what a coincidence!" Kuwabara laughed and slapped Yusuke's hand away again. "Now back to what I said earlier, where's Rei?"
"She went back home," Kurama answered as he twirled the straw in his soda.
"Really? Why didn't she come and tell me good-bye!" Kuwabara asked.
"Because she had to leave immediately..."
"But you didn't confess your love!" Kuwabara shouted and waved his arms in the air. "That's injustice!"
"Kuwabara, it's alright, really-"
"No it isn't! We will have to search high and low to find a way to get you two together. There's no mountain high enough or no river long enough to keep you two apart! Even if she is in a different dimension, your love will shine though to her! I, Kazuma Kuwabara, will help you two star-crossed lovers find each other again!"
"Um...thank you Kuwabara," Kurama muttered and sipped at his soda, a slight blush on his cheeks.
"So, you do admit that you love her," Yusuke said as he ate the last of Kuwabara's fries. "You just thanked him, because he is going to help you get to your mate."
Kurama slammed his head on the table, maybe he should have stayed home instead of wandering around the city. His mother was really disappointed to know that Rei 'went back to her home town.' She said she would handle the issue with the school.
"I'm glad you guys are here!" Botan shouted as she ran up to their table. "Have you guys seen Rei? I can't find her anywhere! I'm getting worried..."
"She went back home," Kuwabara answered, realizing his fries were missing. "Hey!"
"She did? She didn't tell me good-bye!" Botan pouted. "Well, I guess I give the news to her brother then...I hope he won't do anything insane..."
"I do it," Kurama said and stood up.
"Thanks, he sounded very worried," Botan said as Kurama nodded and headed out of the restaurant.

"What do you want?" Karasu asked in a cold tone as Kurama stepped into his prison. Kurama closed the doors behind him and stared seriously at Karasu as he sat under a torch. He didn't even sound happy to see him, that was odd.
"I came to tell you something," Kurama said, still standing by the door.
"What is it?"
"Rei went back home."
Karasu grunted and turned his head. "I had a feeling she did."
"She told me to tell you that she was terribly sorry that she broke her promise."
Karasu narrowed his eyes angrily at him and muttered, "Get out."
Kurama stared at him confused, why was he acting like this?
"I said get out," Karasu replied even harsher.
Kurama nodded and did what he was told. He stared at the doors seriously from the outside. 'Why was Karasu so upset?'
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Rei sat on the edge of her bed, squeezing the edge tightly. After making up a long lie to her grandfather. He really didn't buy it and demanded the truth. She reversed the angry and she demanded the truth about her past. That made him forget about her lie...
'Usagi didn't have to lie,' Rei thought softly. Her angry disappeared hours ago, she knew her friend didn't mean no harm. She lifted her hands and tried to create a bomb. Nothing formed. She bit her lower lip and tried again. Nothing. 'I knew it, my demon abilities are gone. I cannot smell and hear like I use too. Oh, how I miss everyone, especially Mrs. Minamino. I even miss that toddler, Koenma.' She lied on her bed and felt the tears well up in her eyes.
"I'm sorry I couldn't see you one last time big brother."

So sad! The end would have been a little longer if I had the time. It's almost my bedtime and I want to update. Yes, my mother gave me a bedtime for summer vacation! It's 3:00 a.m., that's to early! I usually stay up to like 6 or 7 a.m.! nn
I was making up all that stuff about getting back home, I don't know if Chibi-Usa's Time Key can allow them to go to different dimensions and all that other stuff!
