Oh My Gosh! I'm so sorry it took so long to update! I was having some technical problems. But now please read and review!

Everyone was excited about Nara laughing; they couldn't wait until they got her to talk. The next few days at Genkia's they just messed around, teaching Nara some different fighting techniques. Even Hiei taught her some sword movements for her spirit katanas.

"Come On Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled at Yusuke, trying to get him into a fight.

"Naw, why bother wasting my energy when I know I'm gonna win?" Nara giggled at Kuwabara's face. They had made it a game, who ever can get Nara to laugh the most in a day wins. Even Hiei got her to laugh, but he wasn't planning on it. He was just insulting her brother and Kuwabara as usual, and apparently it was funny.

Kuwabara gave up and sulked away leaving Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, and Nara sitting on the grass (well Hiei was up in a tree, but you get the picture).

"So Kurama what's the score for today?" Yusuke asked lazily lying back down on the grass.

"Kuwabara has 2, Hiei has1, you have 4, and I have 3."

"I told you I'm not playing your ridicules games fox," Hiei said from his tree.

"But we included you so you are playing," Kurama said, "Besides you have a point, that's a lot better then nothing."

"Hn," Hiei said jumping away to another tree away from the others.

"So wait I'm winning?" Kurama nodded at Yusuke who apparently just realized he was in the lead, "Oh Yeah!" Yusuke said triumphantly.

Nara rolled her eyes, "He tries to hard," she thought getting up and heading to Genkia's temple.

"Hey Nara were you going?" Yusuke said looking at his sister. She pointed to the temple and Yusuke nodded, "You shouldn't go up by yourself." Nara put her hands on her hips and made a face that said, "I think I can take care of myself." Yusuke chuckled at his sister's antiques.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, but what if it's an ambush?" Nara rolled her eyes and started walking away.

"I'll go with her Yusuke," Kurama said getting up from his spot. Yusuke nodded and laid back down, "Just don't fall asleep outside again!" Kurama yelled as he went to catch up to Nara.

"Hello Miss. Nara." Nara rolled her eyes making Kurama smile. He knew it annoyed her when he called her "miss." It amused him though; the way she reacted to thing now compared to a few weeks ago was so different. When they had first found her she had trouble looking people in the eye, now she looked at them with out any sign of fear.

"So you and Yusuke are heading home tomorrow?" Nara nodded unhappily. She really liked it here; she had met some really nice people. Genkai was funny and a great teacher and Yukina was so sweat and quite. She also liked being outside with the others and training with them.

Nara fiddled with the locket her mother gave her from her father. She had started wearing it a while ago and had a habit of fiddling with it when she was nervous or just thinking. Kurama watched with some amusement as she continued to play with the locket. Yusuke said that his mom gave it to her when they had gone on their mission, but he didn't think it came directly from Atsuko. He sighed and pulled Nara's hand away from the necklace.

"You know that might get annoying after a while," he said smiling at her. Nara shrugged and went up to the door of the temple, Kurama still holding her hand. She was about to enter when she noticed that he hadn't let go. She looked down at their hands, as did Kurama.

"Oh sorry!" he said letting go of her hand. Nara smiled and went inside, Kurama following her.

Following Morning

Yusuke and Nara walked down the stairs of Genkia's temple the next morning.

"Did you have fun Nara?" Nara shook her head looking back up the stairs, "Don't worry we'll go back soon. And we'll probably see Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama later on this week." Nara smiled and nodded and began to follow Yusuke the rest of the way home.

They spent the rest of the moving stuff into Nara's new room. By the end of the day she had a white dresser, a nice single bed, a wooden desk, and a bookshelf.

"Hey Nara can you read at all?" Nara looked insulted at the question. When they were little you could either find Nara playing with Yusuke and some other kids or reading a book. Yusuke noticed the way she looked at him and then he remembered.

"Oh yeah! But I mean are you rusty?" Nara walked over to the bookshelf. They had put a few books on there and she pulled out a random book. She read the first few pages in a matter of minuets and closed the book.

"Am I rusty. Please! H's probably more rusty than I am!" Nara thought leaving the room. Yusuke laughed a little and went into the living room to watch TV. She plopped down next to him and watched the screen without much amusement, Yusuke was watching commercials. Not a show just the commercials, every time the scheduled show came back on he'd flip to another channel to watch more. Nara got tiered of watching and went to her room, grabbing a book on the way.

She didn't have many books, just a few novels that had somehow found their way into Yusuke's home. She sat on her bed and began to read, falling asleep soon after.

When she woke up it was morning.

"Hey Nara Kuwabara and I are going to the arcade, want to come?" Nara nodded and went to get changed. They all walked down the street with comfortable cloths on: Yusuke had a white t-shirt and blue jeans, Kuwabara had a blue shirt with black jeans, and Nara had her hair in a pony tail with a red t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans with a hole in the knee.

"So what game first?" Yusuke asked. Nara shook her head; she had no interest in playing the games.

"If you didn't want to play then why did you come?" Yusuke asked annoyed. Nara shrugged and sat on a bench near by. Kuwabara and Yusuke shrugged and went of to play some games.

Nara let out a sigh as a man came up to her.

"This seat taken?" Nara shook her head and the man sat down. They sat there for about five minuets in silence. Nara saw the man was eyeing her up, making her shift nervously. Finally she couldn't take it anymore and got up to leave. But the man stopped her.

"Wait!" he said grabbing her wrist, "don't leave yet." Nara tried to pull free but the mans gripped was unnaturally strong. He dragged her by the wrist down an abandoned ally and slammed her against the wall.

"I said don't go yet, I need to have some energy." He tightened his grip on her wrist and Nara felt herself getting weaker. She could tell that he must be a drainer demon, and she knew he had other intensions than just draining her of her energy. She knew the look in his eyes all to well.

"No I can't let this happen again! I've come to far!" She threw her leg out hitting the guy wear it hurts. He released her and she began to run.

"Get back here!" the man yelled doubled over in pain. She was about to get out of there when two more demons blocked her way.

They grabbed her, Nara opened her mouth but nothing came out. She couldn't scream for help, just like she couldn't scream for help before. Nara felt hot tears come to her eyes and was about to give up when she remembered how Yusuke always had someone with her incase of trouble, and how she always felt annoyed because she felt she could take care of herself.

" The one time he doesn't send me off with someone," Nara thought and couldn't help but smile a bit. This was her chance to prove she wasn't weak and she was letting slip through her fingers.

One of the demons got out a knife and cut her check letting blood trickle down it.

"Let the games begin,' he said. The knife came closer and as if in slow motion Nara broke free from the other twos grasp and punched the other guy away. The other two fell back from her breaking away so suddenly. Nara created her spirit katanas and charged at the demons. In a downward motion she killed the first two and did the same to the other one.

"I did it!" Nara thought falling to her knees exhausted. She realized she had to get back to her seat before Yusuke noticed she was gone. Her legs shook as she went back to the bench and sat down. Five minuets later they came out arguing about something, Nara felt a bit better and could walk without feeling like she was gonna fall over.

"Hey Nara lets go!" Yusuke yelled. She got up and walked over to them. They walked for about two seconds until Yusuke noticed her cheek.

"Nara what the hell happened?"

Nara looked at him; she didn't know how she could sign to him what exactly happened. Suddenly they all fell through the ground and landed in Koenma's office.

"Oh shit what now," Nara thought as Koenma turned to look at them, Hiei and Kurama were also there. The y all sat down and waited for the toddler to speak.

Ok I hope you enjoyed it. Please review, and I am sorry it took so long to update!
