Who: (In fluffy blue bathrobe) Well I feel better much cooler.
Cp Hiei: (To Yusuke) She took a cold shower you know what that means.
Yusuke: (Snicker) Kurama I think Who's got a crush on one of you.
Kurama: (Blush) I think Who might just be ill.
Cp Yusuke: Or she isn't feeling herself.
Who: (Nervous laugh) Don't be silly I'm fine. Doing what I always do no need to worry about me (laughs again)
Cp Kuwabara: (Scoffs) right
Who: But (smiles overly innocently) Um… anyways smart Kurama, can I talk to you. (looks at the others) privately. It's very important and I been wanting to tell you this for a long time. (Gives a very convincing look)
Kurama: (hesitantly) I suppose.
Yusuke and Cp Hiei: (chuckle)
Yusuke: (High-pitched voice) Oh Kurama can we talk in private.
Cp Hiei: (bats eyes, speaks with high-pitched voce as well.) I want to profess my love.
Who: (Glares daggers at the two stifling their laughter. Then she looks at Kuwabara) Introduce the chapter. NOW! (drags Kurama off.)
Kuwabara: (shakily) Uh… she don't own any of us. (swallows hard) She's scary when she's mad.
Yusuke and Cp Hiei: (Nod)

(A/N. I'm sorry I'm confusing everyone. I'll work on that the best way that I can. But the whole deal with doubles is well… confusion. Well, I see what I can do, sorry for unintentional out of characterness and all okay.)
The sounds of a nearby scuffle drew the attention of the three spirit detectives, as they searched for the Vanetta Stone, and their lost companion, or at least his rogue counterpart.
"Do you hear that?" Inquired Kurama his head snapped sharply toward the faint sound of fighting.
"No, not really but if you can, then lead the way, Fox-boy." Said Yusuke his voice barely above a whisper, though quite audible in Kurama's ears.
"This way." Stated Kurama bringing the attention of Hiei and Yusuke with him.
Once again, Kuwabara, the original; had crossed swords with his counterpart. Kuwabara pushed his counterpart back then attempted to send a swift kick into, his midsection, but to no avail. It seemed that his counterpart was ready for Kuwabara to make that move, and he could have severed Kuwabara's leg from his body, had Kuwabara not been able to give his counterpart a painful jab to his jaw before he brought down his sword.
The two Kuwabaras were far too engrossed in their fight to notice that they were being watched.
"I don't believe it." Said Yusuke, his voice filled with awe.
"Oh great, two bakas." Said Hiei as if already seeing the problems in this new predicament. "If the baka wins, were stuck with him. If the other wins, then they'll be an evil counterpart to contend with, and, either way will bring displeasing results."
Kurama shook his head, a faint smiled curled his lips, he believed that despite what he said, Hiei was happy to see Kuwabara was alright, at least for the moment.
The counterparts of Yusuke and the others found that they weren't far from the sounds of fighting, as they too searched for the gem and their lost companion or his counterpart.
"Not only do we have to find that stupid rock. Which nearly killed us!" Said an indignant Hiei. "But we gotta find Kuwabara, or his counterpart. This is so stupid!"
"I say were better off without him anyway." Said Kurama he said in an almost pouting tone. "I mean it's not like we can't make it without him."
"This isn't all about finding Kuwabara." Said Yusuke. "It's his counterpart, that we really have to worry about right now."
"This is like one of those stupid evil twin episodes in a bad cartoon. So lame." Said Hiei, in his still annoyed tone. "So Yusuke we any closer to that cliff we fell off of anyway?"
"Just just a bit farther. This way." Yusuke said as he lead the group down the familiar path. Which the other spirit detectives had already taken.
At the moment Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama, the original detectives watched the two Kuwabaras fighting, with bated breath. One of the Kuwabaras fell to the ground, much to the horror of a rather anxious Yusuke.
"He's losing." Said Yusuke looking a little jumpy as he watched the Kuwabaras duel. "Damnit, which Kuwabara is the real one. I can't tell them apart." Yusuke looked toward his companions to see if either of them could find the phony. Unfortunately neither Kurama nor Hiei could shed any light on the situation.
"We gotta try and help."
"It's too risky Yusuke. We may inadvertently end up giving aid to the wrong Kuwabara. We'll just have to hope that," Kurama looked at the fighting Kuwabaras. The one that had fallen was now on his feet, and was trying to push back the other, as their swords were once again locked. "Kuwabara can endure this threat himself."
There was silence for a moment as the detectives watched the Kuwabaras continu to fight"Kurama?" Yusuke's voice drifted into the red head's ears again, breaking the silence. "If everyone else we know has got a counterpart now, do you think ours might be out there too?"
"Well assuming the gem made copies of all of us. Yes." Kurama gave a slight nod as he spoke, then turned a quizzical eye on Yusuke. "Why do you ask?" Inquired the red head. Kurama could see that Yusuke's eyes were focused on a point behind himself. The answer was pretty obvious at that instant. Kurama turned around fully to look at the three figures that stood behind him.
There they were, three exact duplicates, of the three detectives, each one looked as perplexed as his counterpart.
The counterpart Yusuke gave a slight nod, as if giving a signal to his companions. To his right the counterpart Hiei took a fighting stance, a rather pleased yet cocky smile drifted across his face. The counterpart Kurama, to the left and slightly behind the counterpart Yusuke, seemed anxious and uncertain of what to do with his own hands. While the counterpart Yusuke looked dead at his counterpart, which was Yusuke, his brown eyes seemed familiar, wise, and calculating; as if he knew just how he was going to take care of Yusuke without even raising his hand.
Kurama, Yusuke, and Hiei each exchanged looks of their own then turned hardened faces toward their counterparts.
The six detectives seemed all too ready to began a battle of their own when an anguished cry of one of the Kuwabaras sent a rush of faces in the direction of the two fighters. The six spirit detectives saw one of the Kuwabaras flying backward his body being ripped at by the others shrapnel sword attack, while the other seemed to be looking quite triumphant at the moment.
The sound of the voices of two worried Yusukes filled the air. This grabbed the attention of the upright Kuwabara who saw the two Yusukes standing off just in front of a small group of trees. Needless to say the Kuwabara looked a little confused, but not too confused to not notice his counterpart had risen and was trying to catch him off guard. The Kuwabara rather easily sidestepped the others attack and tripped to boy on top of it.
The falling Kuwabara noticed his companion and the double just before he hit the ground. "Urameshi?" Said the boy just before he hit the ground. As quickly as he hit the ground Kuwabara, the real Kuwabara, sprung to his feet; tears were flooding out of the boy's eyes, and he was fanning his tongue feverously.
Kuwabara gave yelps of pain, as he moved about hopping from one foot to the other; his mind focused on his ailment.
"Oo, Oo ow. Time out. Time out." Kuwabara's counterpart looked at the boy quizzically. "I bit my tongue." Kuwabara fanned at his tongue again.
That statement was enough to send everyone around crashing to the ground, from shock and just a little bit of embarrassment.
"You truly are a worthless counterpart." Said the counterpart Kuwabara, once he had recovered from his shock.
At the moment it now seemed that each spirit detective now stood in front of the rock face, where they experienced had the rock slide. Each one looked toward his own counterpart. Each Kuwabara had taken his place beside his respective team members.
"Is that really you stretch?" Inquired Hiei, well the counterpart, as he looked at the Kuwabara that stood next to him. The Kuwabara did not say anything just shot a cold look toward Hiei, the counterpart that is. "Oh yeah…" Grumbled the counterpart Hiei to himself. "that's Kuwabara bad attitude, and all." (A/N. If you caught that, I'm sorry. I was weak, I just had to do it.)
"Urameshi, you're you right?" Inquired Kuwabara to his companion.
"I don't remember being anyone else." Stated the boy.
"It was so weird you guys." Stated Kuwabara his voice was rushed from excitement. "They really think they're real, and Urameshi, you were acting like Kurama. Hiei was acting like you Urameshi." Kuwabara pointed at Yusuke. Hiei was a little curious hearing the sound of his own name but feigned disinterest as Kuwabara spoke. "And Kurama was acting like… some kind of a buffoon."
"In short, he acted like you." Said Hiei drawing Kuwabara's attention.
"Hey, take that back." Said Kuwabara he grabbed Hiei by the skiff of his shirt and glared imposingly at the boy.
"You guys." Came Yusuke's voice interrupting Kuwabara's thoughts. "We have more important things to do. Or did you forget that there were doubles that are trying to take over the world!"
"I'll deal with you later shrimp." Said Kuwabara. Hiei merely scoffed at the carrot tops statement.
When the spirit detectives turned back toward their doubles they were very surprised to see that the group of counterparts seemed preoccupied. It looked like the counterpart Kuwabara and Kurama were at each others throats. Yusuke and the others, and also the counterpart Yusuke looked at the scene, and seemed embarrassed to be in that particular spot at the moment.
Kuwabara was the one to break the silence, as the other spirit detectives just looked aghast. The carrot top cleared his throat, loudly attracting all attention in his direction.
"Alright, doppelgangers prepare to lose, as I Kazuma Kuwabara, with a little help from my friends, defeat you.
Kuwabara's counterpart scoffed at Kuwabara's comment. "I think you should be the one, that should be prepared to lose. Baka." Stated the counterpart.
"It's true in his manner he does resemble you slightly, Hiei." Came Kurama, sounding rather lighthearted, despite the situation.
"Hn." Was all that Hiei said, unable to offer any words of denial.
"Alright." Said Yusuke as if just realizing the situation he and his friends were in. "We get to fight ourselves. This should be interesting."
