Shadowess: Hello hello. I wanted to put up another chapter for the hell of it since it was just begging me to be posted. Thank you to reviewers for your tidbits and everything! I know that not everyone can sing but I'd like to think that everyone is capable of some singing (mainly cause I like to sing and I know I'm not good but we can all pretend right? Like American Idol or Canadian Idol. lol). Thanks to the note that Koorime are actually demons, all that I knew was that they were a tribe consisting of only females that reproduce without the need for males. I am still looking for the first saga to buy! I mean, it's like impossible to find anywhere around here or online except for this one site but its only a fan-sub and I already bought a dvd fan-sub and it's not that great so I wanna find the original and--

Hiei: Just shut up and get on with your pointless story, woman.

Shadowess: Yeah yeah, don't make me poke you. Enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own YYH, not even on DVD... Oh, and I don't own anything else in here that can get me in trouble.


Chapter 11: Deceive

The waitress came by, balancing a large tray over her head and holding a stand. She set the stand and put the tray down, showing all their food. They were served and had their drinks refreshed. Not many words were exchanged while they ate, but the facial expressions of Kurama and Hiei were pretty clear… They did not want the girls to leave with any other guys, especially with the one's they described.

After they finished their food, the girl's challenged Yusuke to shot wars. Kurama advised against it but the girls ignored him. They had their waitress bring out three shot glasses and a bottle of Russian vodka. Kurama and Hiei just watched, tending to their own drinks.

About ten shots each later, Yusuke was getting wonky. He had three more shots and then he was out.

"We win! Woot!" Kyla cheered, downing her shot with ease.

"Goes to show that some girls can hold their liquor." Nyssa smirked and shot down hers as well. "And yet again, 44 shots to empty the bottle."

"I wanna do something now, cause the music is good and the karaoke sluts stopped singing." Kyla stood up.

"Let's go dance, darling." Nyssa stood up and held her hand to her friend.

"Thank you, darling." Kyla accepted her hand.

"You two going to dance or just drink?" Nyssa asked, noting that Yusuke was still unconscious.

"I think we'll stay with Yusuke so he isn't mugged." Kurama said.

"Alright, suit yourselves." Kyla and Nyssa made their way down to the dance floor and melted in to the crowd.

The beat kept going as the girls danced together, almost bumping shoulder to shoulder with the other people. It was so much fun, letting out all the energy built up inside of them. They were a bit tipsy but hey, they just had over ten shots of vodka each.

"Excuse us, but you two girls are the one's who sang earlier right?" a luscious deep voice came from behind the girls. They turned and saw the guys that they caught in the audience earlier. The one who spoke was the one with the black hair and blue highlights. He stood a good foot taller than them but he was muscular.

"Yeah! I'm Kyla." She extended her hand to him, which he shook with a smile. This was the guy she had her eye on before.

"I'm Yoji." He smiled, he also shook Nyssa's hand.

"I'm Nyssa. And who are you?" she looked to the other guy she had her eye on earlier.

"My name is Marcus." He shook the girl's hands as well with a smile. He was about the same height as Yoji but was a bit skinnier, and his voice was smooth and not as deep.

"We were wondering if you two would like to do some duets with us on stage." Yoji rubbed the back of his head.

"Sure! What song did you have in mind?" Kyla asked.

"I wouldn't mind singing again." Nyssa smiled.

"Well, we didn't pick one, but we had six picked out that you could choose from." Yoji said, leading them all over to the books with the songs. "We picked out 'You're The One That I Want' from the Grease movie, 'A Whole New World' from Aladdin, 'At the Beginning' from Anastasia."

"As well as 'Summer Nights' from Grease, "Love Will Find a Way' from The Lion King 2, and 'Beauty and the Beast' by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson." Marcus finished. "We are each willing to perform any of those songs with you."

"They're all romance songs, or at least romantic-like." Nyssa nodded, thinking about which song. "I like 'Love Will Find A Way'." Ironic, but she liked the song since she first heard it on its feature film.

"Okay, then you get to go first since I can't decide." Kyla nudged her to the stage. "You go ask the lady there."

"Alright, alright. I'm going." Nyssa grinned up at Marcus. "Ready, Marcus?"

"I am." He gave a charming smile to her. They walked up to the hostess that Fai designated to the sound set-up before.

"Hello, would you two like to do a song together?" she smiled with her green eyes and orange hair.

"Yes. We'd like to do 'Love Will Find A Way' from The Lion King 2?" Marcus asked.

"Of course! It'll be a few minutes but stick around here and I'll announce you as Kiara and Kovu" She handed them each a microphone. "You can sing down here at first, or on the stage first, but you must be on the stage before the end of the song." She looked at Nyssa with a smile. "Great performance, you and your friend earlier."

"Thanks." Nyssa smiled.

"That was easy." Marcus rubbed the back of his head. "Oh yeah, I need to check on something real quick, I'll be back in time for the performance."

"Sure, no problem. I'll start up on stage if you want to start down here since Kiara starts the song first."

"Sounds good. I'll be right back, Nyssa." Marcus gave an apologetic yet friendly smile before disappearing off in to the crowd. Nyssa went over to Kyla and Yoji and chatted with them for a while, trying to help Kyla decide which song she'd rather perform.

Hiei and Kurama were talking telepathically in order to keep the conversation to themselves.

'Perhaps we could sing a duet song with them…' Kurama inquired.

'I don't do these human activities.' The only music he would perform was a serenade of his sword cutting through what stood in his way.

'Nyssa would be impressed if you did.'

Hiei didn't return that remark. Instead, he turned and saw a young man with dark messy hair, yellow-amber eyes, and dressed in black and blue… the guy that Nyssa described earlier.

"Hey, sorry to bother you but are you a friend of Nyssa's?" he asked. Hiei nodded, but gave a slight glare towards this man. "I'm Marcus. I bumped in to her downstairs and well…" he looked at Kurama. "Can I talk to you somewhere a bit more private? No offence." He indicated to Kurama.

"I'll make sure the drunk doesn't leave." Kurama nodded to Hiei.

"Hn. Fine." Hiei got up and walked with Marcus by the back in a secluded area, out of Kurama's sight.

Nyssa started to look around, unable to see Marcus. At least everyone in the bar could hear so he'd start singing as his part would come up… so long as he knew the words. She already had Kyla say that she'd jump up as a back-up in case Marcus didn't make it back.

"Ladies and gentlemen… now performing will be 'Kiara and Kovu' with that love song from The Lion King 2." The hostess announced, then started the music.

Nyssa took a deep breath and started walking up the steps, bringing the microphone up to her mouth,

"In a perfect world…

One we've never known.

We would never need to face the world alone.

They can have the world

We'll create our own.

I may not be brave or strong or smart

But somewhere in my secret heart

I know…" Nyssa was in center stage, scanning around for Marcus but not seeing him anywhere in sight. That would be embarrassing if he didn't come up… especially since he seemed like such a nice guy.

"Love will find a way

Anywhere I go

I'm home.

If you are there beside me

Like dark turning in to day

Somehow we'll come through

Now that I've found you

Love will find a way…" Nyssa lowered her head, waiting for any kind of words, Marcus or Kyla.

"I was so afraid…" Nyssa looked around at hearing the voice. It sounded different from Marcus.

"Now I realize

Love is never wrong

And so it never dies…" Nyssa looked to the stairs and saw the last person she'd ever expect to be singing. Her eyes locked with the familiar ruby eyes of a demon. Kyla was struck slack-jawed at seeing the spike-haired demon they came in to the bar with walking up to her friend.

"There's a perfect world

Shining in your eyes." Hiei was holding his hand out to her. Nyssa came back to her senses and started to sing along with him.

"And if only they could feel it too

The happiness I feel with you

They'd know

Love will find a way.

Anywhere we go…

We're home

If we are there together

Like dark turning in to day

Somehow we'll come through

Now that I've found you

Love will find a way…" Nyssa went up to him and stood close by him as they watched each other. She was in disbelief but was also impressed.

"I know love will find a way." Their faces were only inches apart. The song started to end, with applause to end their performance.

"And that was 'Love Will Find A Way' from the Lion King 2! Thank you for that lovely performance." The hostess announced through the intercom as the two made their way off stage.

"Holy crap! I didn't know you could sing!" Kyla exclaimed.

"I wonder what happened to Marcus though, not that I don't appreciate you coming up there." Nyssa smiled up to Hiei. She was impressed.

"He was the one who told me to go up there." He crossed his arms.

"Wow. But where did he go?" Nyssa looked around.

"He said something about an emergency call." He shrugged. "Not my problem."

"Aww… that's not cool…" Kyla pouted. She looked to the guy who stood behind her. "I think I know what song I wanna do now, Yoji." Kyla smiled to him.

"Which one is it?" he asked, holding his soft smile down at her.

"A Whole New World."

"With Jasmine and Aladdin?" she nodded. "Alright, sounds good. I'll go and register us." He nodded to her and went to the hostess.

Kyla smiled with a small blush on her face. "He is so cute. And very hot." She giggled.

"And what about Kurama?" Nyssa asked.

"I like him too. But this guy is really hot." Kyla pouted. "Can I have both?"

Nyssa laughed. "Maybe." She looked at Hiei. "I'm going to get another drink. Want anything?" He shook his head. "Alright, suit yourself." Nyssa patted her friend on the shoulder then went to the bar in the middle of the club to get her drink.

Yoji came back with two microphones. He gave Kyla one. "Here you go. They'll announce us as Jasmine and Aladdin. We can start on stage or down here, ending on stage like Nyssa and… what was your name again?" Yoji looked to Hiei.

He grunted and crossed his arms. "Hiei…"

"Hiei." He nodded in a casual guy greeting. Yoji looked up to the tables to see Kurama giving him almost evil looks. "Is that your friend up there as well?" he looked at Kyla.

Kyla looked up to where he looked and saw Kurama. "Oh! That's Kurama. He and Hiei are me and Nyssa's… what's the word… Escorts!" she waved at Kurama, getting a small wave in reply.

"He doesn't seem to like you being around different guys." Yoji thought out loud. "I'll let him know that he doesn't have to worry. It's not like I'd kidnap you." Yoji nudged her.

Kyla laughed. "That's okay. Everyone's plotting against me anyway."

Yoji smiled and went up to where Kurama was. From what Kyla could tell, Yusuke was still unconscious, so she went over to the bar where Nyssa waited for her drink.

"Hi sweety, what did you order?" she asked.

"I got an Alabama Slammer, darling." She smiled. "You ready to sing with the hotty of darkness?" Nyssa referred to Yoji's dark hair and eyes.

"Yup! He sings first, so I don't have to go up right away." Kyla played with her microphone.

Nyssa was given her drink. "Well, just be sure not to glomp him too much, okay? I know he's eye candy but be sure to let him have air to breathe so he could sing." She took a gulp of her drink and smiled. "Want some, my dear?"

"Sure." Kyla grinned and took a long gulp. "Yum!"

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, a classic performance from Jasmine and Aladdin…" the hostess announced as music began to sound throughout the club.

"I can show you the world…

Shining shimmering splendid

Tell me, princess, now when did

You last let your heart decide…"

Kyla turned around and nearly dropped her mic at what she saw on stage. It wasn't Yoji…

"I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder

Over, sideways, and under

On a magic carpet ride" The figure faced her from on the stage with his hand reached out to her. She walked towards the stage slowly, looking to their table then back to the stage.

"A whole new world

A new fantastic point of view

No one to tell us no

Or where to go

Or say we're only dreaming…" He held his hand down to Kyla from the stage and pulled her up in time for her to start.

"A whole new world

A dazzling place I never knew

But when I'm way up here

It's crystal clear

That now I'm in a whole new world

With you…" Kyla looked in to the bright emerald eyes of Kurama's with a smile as she sang.

"That now I'm in a whole new world with you." Kurama stroked his fingers down the side of her face.

"Unbelievable sights

Indescribable feeling

Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling

Through an endless diamond sky!

A whole new world"

"Don't you dare close your eyes" Kurama gingerly held her chin and tapped her nose.

"A hundred thousand things to see" She fluttered her eyes at him.

"Hold your breath – it gets better"

"I'm like a shooting star

I've come so far

I can't go back to where I used to be"

"A whole new world" Kurama kept his eyes locked with Kyla's.

"Every turn a surprise" Kyla was spun around by Kurama to add emphasis.

"With new horizons to pursue"

"Every moment red letter" Kyla reached up and fingered a strand of his red hair.

"I'll chase them anywhere

There's time to spare

Let me share this whole new world with you" They sang harmoniously, as Kyla's hand was held up by Kurama's.

"A whole new world"

"A whole new world" Kyla reflected him.

"That's where we'll be"

"That's where we'll be"

"A thrilling chase"

"A wondrous place"

"For you and me…" they came close to closing the gap between them but only touched foreheads. Everyone in the club applauded to their performance.

"That was Jasmine and Aladdin with 'A Whole New World' from the hit Disney movie 'Aladdin'! Thank you for the tender enlightening show!" the hostess announced as the two got off the stage and returned the microphones.

"Holy crap! I didn't think you'd go up there, Kurama!" Kyla was still a bit shocked. "But what happened to Yoji?" she looked around for him.

"He asked me to go up and to apologize to you." Kurama said.

"Apologize for what?"

"He said he felt bad for asking you to sing with him, thinking that I was your date for tonight." Kurama rubbed the back of his head.

"Aww… such a sweetheart. Did he leave already? I wanted to thank him…" Kyla pouted.

"He did leave unfortunately. Its surprising that there are other guys around who have their chivalry in tact."

"That is a surprise, yet it was not very gentlemanly-like for him to leave without saying a proper farewell." Nyssa came up, hearing that last part. She stood beside Hiei, who stood in the same area the whole time. She was already done her drink. "Then again, many guys are paranoid about confrontation…"

"I can understand that." Kyla smiled, she looked up to their table and saw Yusuke start to move. "We should get slick back to the house. I think I've had enough here."

"Yeah same. Can you guys get him while Kyla and I go say thanks to Fai if we can find him?" Nyssa asked the guys. They just gave a simple nod, heading towards their table.

"Yay! Let's go find him." Kyla ran to back where they last saw Fai and looked all over for him. They searched high and low and even asked the waitresses and hostess where he was, but they all replied that they did not know. They sighed and went up front with the guys. Kurama paid with a credit card before they walked out the door.

"I wonder what happened to Fai…" Kyla pouted.

"Mr. Flowright was called out on a rescheduled business meeting." The bouncer said in reply to her worry.

"Oh. Thank you." Kyla and Nyssa smiled, relieved that they got a response and that Fai was okay and not kidnapped by rabid female fans.

"You can't tell me how to throw a fist!" Yusuke slurred, almost throwing Kurama and Hiei off balance.

The girls held back their laughs as they all made their way back to Kurama's home. The girls opened the door for the guys as they brought him in, dropping him down on the couch, allowing him to pass out again. Kyla grabbed a throw blanket from a chair and threw it over top Yusuke as Nyssa went and took the garbage bin from under the kitchen sink. She set it down by Yusuke in case he would have to vomit.

"I'm not tired yet." Nyssa crossed her arms. "What should we do now?"

"Start your training." Hiei grabbed her arm and pulled her to the door.

"Hey! Come on! That's not cool! I had a lot to drink! I want to do something fun or amusing! You suck you spikey-haired—" Nyssa was cut off as Hiei already pulled her out the door and closed it.

Kyla started laughing. "Good luck Ny-chan!" she yelled at the closed door before turning to Kurama. She put her hands behind her back. "Now what?"

"Well, you have a choice. You can either go to bed, or stay up to see a neat surprise I have for you." Kurama had a strange gleam in his eyes.

"I'll go with the neat surprise. What is it?" Kyla tilted her head to the side.

Kurama gave a smirk that was uncharacteristic of his usual façade. His clothes and form began to change slowly… almost melting in to another being. Kyla took a step back in a state that she could not determine herself… unsure of whether it was fear, surprise, or paranoia.

Before her eyes, Kurama changed in to Yoji.

A combination of fear and surprise.

"Now, you get to come with me…" Fangs peeked out from the corners of his lips as his dark eyes turned silver.

Definitely fear now.

Before Kyla could turn to run, his eyes flashed light blue in to hers. It was some sort of spell as Kyla found herself slowly loosing her ground and all feeling in her body. Yoji caught her in his arms as she stared up at him in apparent fear. She couldn't speak.

"Sleep."

With that simple command, it overpowered her better judgment, making her close her eyes and loose all of her senses apart from the darkness that she was thrown in to.

Yoji smirked and went out the door, closing it. "This was too easy…"

Yusuke stirred before the door closed and sensed a strong deathly aura. His eyes snapped open but he sat up quickly, grabbing the bucket and letting his dinner come up. "Shit…" He pulled out his communicator and tried to contact Koenma, but he passed out again, feeling like an asshole for not holding his liquor.

Hiei was still pulling Nyssa along. She wondered how far out they had to go to train. She finally yanked her arm back.

"I can walk without a leash you know. What's with you? I know you're a demon and all but come on… Why don't we have ice cream instead?"

"Strange… you know he's a demon yet you can't tell what the other is…" he spoke stopping.

"What's strange is that you're talking in third person…" Nyssa crossed her arms. "We could have just trained in the backyard. What do you want to train for anyway?"

"We're not here to train… it was just a way of getting you away from your drunken friend so he would not bare witness to this…"

"Okay… did Marcus hit you on the head when he talked to you? You wanna go see a doctor or something?"

He gave a chuckle then started laughing. "I can't believe that this is so easy!" He turned around, his skin and clothes melting in to a different form. He had dark messy hair, not spiked, yellow-amber eyes, and his clothes were black and blue.

"M-Marcus…? But… I… ah shit… you're a demon too aren't you?" Nyssa slapped her forehead. "Just my fucking luck…"

"Not quite." Marcus laughed still. His eyes turned silver and he ended up behind her right away. "I'm more the… undead kind of creature…" he grazed fangs against her neck after wrapping his arms around her.

Nyssa froze against his touch. "In a different situation, I'd be thrilled…" she choked out. Different situation being in a dream or if she was role playing. Fear gripped at her mind and made her heart pound faster.

Marcus turned her face towards him. "Now, my pet, sleep." His eyes shone blue in to her own.

Feeling darkness tug at her she tried to struggle. "I'm not your pet!" she pushed away from him but only made it two steps before falling in to darkness. Marcus caught her with ease and with a smirk. Pulling her up in to his arms, he turned and saw Yoji behind him, with Kyla in his arms. With a nod to each other, they ran off back towards the club, but behind the building to avoid prying eyes.


Shadowess: Awww, and you Hiei and Kurama fans thought that they were actually singing... Sorry but remember that Hiei only like the sound of his sword slicing through demon flesh.

Kyla: Why did you use Disney songs?

Shadowess: I don't know. I think I was sleep deprived at the time.

Kyla: You're always sleep deprived.

Shadowess: Meh. Well now readers and reviewers alike, I won't be updating for a couple of days so that I can put time in to a few other stories. So... enjoy that cliffhanger! (runs before sharp objects and various vegetables can be thrown)

Kyla: Oh yay! I get to say it! Reviews are love but not forced!
