Disclaimer: You know the drill. I only own my OC's and the plot.

Also, this is part II of Power Struggle. It makes absolutely no sense sometimes and follows soap opera logic. So if you like Soap Operas, this is for you. If not, sorry. My friend was rushing me to write more so she could be entertained :/

Kaiya was almost finished packing. She was so happy school was starting again. She told her friends it was just because she couldn't wait to learn more about the sea and to work at the aquarium as a volunteer. The real reason was that she hadn't seen Hiei in what felt like years (really, only two months). She didn't admit this out loud, but she missed him a lot. Every morning she woke up thinking about all their talks and moments they had before she left. "What does this mean?" she wondered to herself.

She didn't mind if Sui read her mind because Sui wouldn't tease her, not only because she was the same way about Kurama, but something had happened that summer, something big that really affected Sui. Going home was really a good thing.

After getting their bags together, Kaiya and Sui left to catch their flight home and be with their friends again.

"Where the hell are they?" Yusuke said impatiently.

"They're your friends you know," Keiko responded to him. "You should be happy they are coming home in the first place."

"I'm sure Kurama's happy," Yusuke said slyly, giving Kurama a devilish grin.

"Stop it already!" Kurama snapped.

"Wow Kurama, I never thought I'd see you get this worked up EVER. You're so together all the time," Keiko said surprised.

"That's because she's Kurama's girlfriend," Yusuke said even more slyly, emphasizing the word girlfriend.

Kurama was slightly irritated at Yusuke and hoped he wouldn't say that around Sui, not yet anyway. They hadn't talked about officially being boyfriend and girlfriend. Kurama wanted to before Genkai said none of them could be together. Now that they had been away from each other for so long (again, two months people) he didn't know what she wanted. Why couldn't he be a mind reader like she was?

"Hey look," Yusuke said. "There they are."

Kurama looked up and saw Kaiya and Sui standing there smiling, obviously happy to be back. Sui ran up to Kurama, throwing her bags down to hug him. This caught him off guard, but he accepted her hug, when he felt tears streaming down from her face. "I've missed you so much," she said as Kurama stared off into space, not knowing if he was dreaming.

Kaiya was introduced to Keiko while Kurama took Sui to the van outside. "So you're Keiko," Kaiya stated. "It's so nice to finally meet you. We've heard a lot about you." Keiko look at Yusuke with a pissed off look. "Good things," Kaiya said nervously, since she was partly lying, but Keiko just accepted it and they all went to join Kurama and Sui.

"So where is Hiei?" Kaiya asked, sounding slightly disappointed.

"He wasn't able to come," Yusuke said. The last thing he wanted to tell her was that he was in Demon World training with a person from his past, Mukuro, one of the three demon kings who used to be in power. "He said he'd be back tonight."

"Where is he?" Sui asked.

"Crap," Yusuke thought. If she read his mind, that would be a problem.

Little to his knowledge, she was having problems with her powers again. Lately she couldn't read people at all. She was so distracted from what had happened over the summer. When Yusuke seemed to not hear her, she just left it alone making Yusuke think she read his mind. "Crap," he said to himself again.

"Why are you asking about Hiei anyway?" Keiko asked Kaiya. Kaiya wasn't about to answer this girl she just met and let herself go deep in thought. Keiko saw her space out, so she left her alone, thinking she was going to be as easy to get along with as Hiei.

Kaiya was disappointed, really disappointed. She really wanted to see Hiei and figured out why she couldn't stop thinking about him the entire summer (do I have to say two months again?). There was a knock at the door, Mika and Suki were home. After the three girls hugged, Suki revealed she had gotten together with this guy back home and Mika revealed that she wasn't interested in Jin anymore. What the hell happened in just two frigging months?

Kaiya was worried since she invited Jin and Touya to her back to school party. It was the first time they were going to see each other in (oh look at this) two months. What was going to happen? Suki said her new boyfriend was coming to the party as well. Kaiya, again nervous, tried to avoid talking about it by looking through the mail she had gotten from the landlady. There was a letter addressed to her from some random stranger. "Oh…my…God…"

Dear Kaiya (or should I say sister),

I saw your picture online. Thanks to social networking, I finally found you. I was told a long time ago by my parents that I had a twin sister, but didn't believe them. They said I was kidnapped from the hospital and dropped off at some orphanage in another country. By the time my parents had found out, I was already ten years old. I was told that the doctors of the hospital were told that I was dead so that our mother wouldn't look for me. When my parents told me, I tried to find you. I saw a random picture of you and some friends of yours. I'm coming to Japan soon, in about a month. Please allow me to meet you.

Signed your long lost twin,
Mayonaka

Kaiya fainted after she read this. After all, she had just found out she had a long lost twin who was giving her some crazy story.

"Oh my God! Kaiya!" Mika said rushing to her friend.

"Wake up," Suki said shaking her receiving no response.

The two friends read the letter she had received and both had their mouths agape. A twin? Kaiya had a twin? This was bigger news than when they first found out about their powers, and it was happening only months later. They weren't going to get her up anytime soon, so they put her on the couch and went to tell Sui. When they couldn't find her, they could only wonder where Sui was.

Kurama was rubbing Sui's arm gently. She had gone with him back to his house and they were upstairs talking when she started crying and fell asleep in his arms. He was thinking it was jet lag making her act this way, but he couldn't be sure. Then his mother walked in…not always the best thing when you're alone with your girlfriend.

"Shuichi, what is going on?" Shiori asked her son.

"She's just very tired, mother. She had a long trip. I'm just trying to comfort her," he answered.

His mother accepted his answer and left him to care for the girl she knew he loved. Kurama just continued to rub her arm when she moved and opened her eyes. She turned her head to see Kurama lying next to her and started crying again.

"Sui, what is going on? Why are you so upset? What happened this summer?"

Sui really hadn't wanted to tell him about what had happened, but she realized that it needed to be said.

Sui was so happy to be seeing her mother again. Kaiya saw a change in her attitude since they returned home. Seeing as Sui was upset that she was away from someone she was crazy about, that was normal. Sui skipped up the stairs to find her mother upset. Sui had just found out that the divorce between her mom and her step-dad was final. She didn't really mind that since she didn't like the guy. It was what her mother said next that she couldn't get over.

"This is your last year in Japan. I want you here."

"But mom, I—"

"The reason I sent you there in the first place was to get away from our drama and now that it's final, I want you home. You'll finish your senior year there, but you'll be going to college here. End of story."

"But I…I…I don't want to leave him," Sui started crying.

"Who?" her mother asked.

Sui told her mother about Kurama, not the demon stuff and she used his human name instead of Kurama. Her mother was not happy and yelled at Kaiya for not setting Sui up with a nice, Jewish boy if anything. Her mother was the old-fashioned type who wanted her daughter to marry in the faith. The woman made it clear with her rant. This was Sui's last year with Kurama is she had anything to say about it.

Kurama didn't know what to say to any of this, especially the part where she was leaving in one year. How could he bring up their relationship now? He could only give her one last year, and hope that she could be happy in America.

"What about your power?" he said, knowing something was wrong with that too.

"I…I don't know," Sui said in muffled sobs and she sat there in Kurama's arms. "I…haven't been able t-t-to use it…at all."

Later at Kaiya's apartment, everyone showed up except for Hiei. Jin and Touya were happy they were going to see Mika and Suki, but Jin noticed that Mika wasn't acting like she used to around him, and Suki showed up with some guy. When Kurama showed up with Sui, Suki said, "Okay everyone, this guy is my boyfriend, Orochi."

Everyone just stared, all with shocked expressions. When no one commented or congratulated her, Suki grumbled and the party continued, though now it was awkward. Touya wanted to talk to her, but as he neared her, Orochi stepped in his way acting kind of possessive of Suki. Touya backed off, only for that moment. He could have pummeled the guy into the pavement, but he didn't want to cause a scene where anyone could see them.

It was starting to get dark and there was still no sign of Hiei, causing even more disappointment for Kaiya. First she found out she's a twin and now the guy she…whatever he wass he to her anyway...hadn't shown up, until…

BAM! Kaiya got knocked over and found a smirking, borderline smiling, Hiei standing over her. "Good to see you," he said. "I hope two months without fighting me hasn't softened you."

Could he really be smiling at me? Kaiya thought. That's so unlike him…

Yet there he was, standing over her grinning. Everyone just stared at them surprised at what they were seeing. Hiei, happy to see Kaiya, and actually talking to her like he missed her…what the heck was going on that day?

Just then, a taxi drove up and someone got out of the car…someone who looked identical to…KAIYA?

Mayonaka stood there with everyone staring at her, since all anyone could do that day was stare.

"M-Mayonaka?" Kaiya asked hesitantly.
