Hello everyone! I know it's been a while! I kinda had some trouble writing this, but it's kinda all good now! It's been a little over two weeks, I know. Last week was Spring Break so yeah. It was fun. Yesterday (Sunday, March 30) I brought three of my friends to Great America and then we went to my house to play Rock Band, and one of them just happens to be the guy I like so that was incredibly enjoyable. Really though, sorry about the wait. I hope you like this chapter though.

"There's this guy in my class, Kira Sayaki. I also got a love letter from an anonymous person."

"What?! When did you get a love letter?" Yusuke asked.

"I found it in my desk this morning."

"Do you still have it?" Koenma asked.

Hikari nodded and searched her schoolbag for it. After producing the item in question, she handed it to Koenma who unfolded it and read it over. He folded it back up and placed it aside on his desk.

"If that's all, then you all may go," Koenma said.

All of them exited the room quietly to return to the human world. They walked back to Sarayashiki to keep Hikari company until she got picked up.

Hikari checked the time before she pulled out her cell phone and gave Jin a quick call.

"Hello? This is Jin," he answered, sounding slightly preoccupied.

"Hey. It's me. can you pick me up now?" she asked with a small frown on her face. She strained her ears to try and hear was going on in the background.

"Uh, huh, sure. Just stay put for now. It'll take me a while to get there. I'm kind of in traffic, but my exit is nearby," he replied.

"Alright then. See ya," she said and hung up.

They all sat around the entrance as other students began leaving the school. They had probably just finished their club activities.

As two students ran past the group with a little fear in their step, Hikari suddenly said, "I forgot to tell Koenma this, but Kira wanted to grab a bite to eat after school today. Although between him and the love letter guy, I still say the love letter guy is more suspicious."

"He asked you out on a date?" Kurama asked. Hikari grinned to herself as she could see out of the corner of her eye her red headed cousin's head snapping in her direction.

"I don't doubt that was his true intention, but either way, he asked me if I wanted to go get some food," she said with a sigh. Hikari pulled out her pack of cigarettes and before she could pull out a cigarette for herself, Yusuke grabbed one. After she put one in her mouth and put away her cigarettes, she pulled out her lighter and lit hers and Yusuke's cigarettes. "It's one thing that someone actually asked me out, but it's another that it's a good looking guy. Both are impossible."

"Thanks for the cigarette," Yusuke said. "It was much need-"

"I didn't understand something at Koenma's," Hikari interrupted. "How do you know that the demon is referring to me in the letter?"

Yusuke and Kuwabara both blinked in surprise and Yusuke said, "Yeah, I didn't get that either."

"Is it because she sprays perfume or something?" Kuwabara asked as he turned his head toward Kurama.

"Well, for demons, all humans sort of have the same scent or aura which is how we are usually able to determine humans from demons. Because I'm currently in a human body, I'm not really able to differentiate what makes Hikari's scent different from others although I am able to tell she is a human," Kurama said. He turned to Hiei, who was surprisingly still with them, and asked, "Hiei, could you explain what Hikari smells like?"

"Strawberries."

All of their eyes widened and Hikari blushed. She was relieved that she didn't smell bad or something.

"Strawberries?" Kurama repeated.

Hiei nodded with his eyes closed. "It's a strong scent of strawberries. The smell of human is hidden almost completely beneath it."

Hikari began to wish she was eating strawberries covered in sugar. As she was imagining the sweet sweet strawberries, a car pulled right up in front of them. Hikari looked up and saw Jin looking down at her with his sunglasses on the tip of his nose.

"Well, what are you waitin' for?" he asked. "Get in. Let's go. You've got homework to do."

Hikari stood up and brushed her skirt of all the dirt that she was sitting on and grabbed her schoolbag.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow," she said as she ran around the car and accidentally opened the car door too fast so that she hit herself in the leg. "Ow, ow, ow..." she muttered as she got into the car.

Yusuke and Jin couldn't help but laugh at her. "Geeze you're an idiot!" Jin said earning him a punch as he put the car in first gear.

The guys watched as they drove off. The last thing they heard from Hikari was her ask, "Hey Jin, are there strawberries at home?"

They all walked off in the same direction with serious faces.

"Do you think her staying with yakuza is such a great idea?" Yusuke asked Kurama.

Kurama furrowed his brow and said, "I'm not sure. Having the yakuza around is certainly quite convenient if it's protecting that she needs, but from a demon... It's inconvenient if we're so far away."

Kuwabara scratched his chin and said, "Well the shrimp can just follow her again can't she?"

Hiei immediately sent a glare and said, "What do you think I am, you big buffoon?! Some dog that follows someone's scent all day? Only idiots do that so I'm sure you and Yusuke would be perfect for the job."

Both Kuwabara and Yusuke were trying to get past Kurama and get to Hiei. "Now, now everyone. Calm down," Kurama said. "It is troublesome to always count on Hiei to do things like following Hikari around, even though he is the fastest and most capable of the job since he has the Jagan eye."

Hiei kept his eyes closed and his back to the group. His eyebrow twitched in annoyance as he knew what Kurama was getting at. The demon in disguise was trying to guilt Hiei into doing it, but before Kurama had to go any further, Hiei turned back around in the direction Hikari was headed and then disappeared.

When Hikari and Jin arrived at yakuza headquarters, Hikari headed straight to the kitchen after she took off her shoes and tossed her schoolbag into Jin's room since it was the closest. Hikari pulled out the strawberries from the fridge and then searched for the sugar in the cabinet she had found it in last time. But it wasn't there.

Hikari panicked and actually took everything out of the cabinet to look for it.

Jin entered the kitchen wondering where Hikari had gone when he saw random cans and jars on the kitchen floor, along with an open cabinet, but no Hikari. He cautiously walked over to the open cabinet door and peeked inside. Two enormous veiny white eyes stared back at him. Surprised, he fell backward and scooted away from the cabinet.

Hikari crawled out, her eyes were big and teary now. "Jin... Jin there's no sugar!"

A big sweat drop appeared on the back of his head and he said, "S-so that's it. I'll go out and buy some sugar. Okay?"

Jin got up and dusted the dirt off of his suit. Hikari was still teary eyed, but she nodded and said, "I'll keep looking for the sugar."

"Alright. For now, keep the strawberries in the fridge so they don't get soggy."

Hikari nodded and first thing she did was put her precious strawberries in the fridge. Then she went on to working on putting the cans and jars back into the cabinet the way that she found them. Her tongue was craving the taste of the sweet strawberry coated in the always sweet sugar. It didn't take her long before she started searching the other cabinets for the other half of her super sweet recipe.

When she was trying to look at the higher shelves, Hikari had to carefully kneel on the counter top.

Man... why do the ceiling and the shelves have to be so high and the floor so hard?! If I accidentally slip I'm gonna land on my head and it's gonna crack in two and then my brains will go oozing all over the floor!

Despite being strong and tall for a girl, she had a slight fear of heights, which had many exceptions to the rule but that did not mean that the fear was any less. She raised one knee in an attempt to stand and then the other.

Alright, take it slow Hikari. Now just start trying to stand- AH!

Since Hikari was wearing socks, her left foot slipped off the edge of the smooth counter top.

Hikari waited. Waited for her body to meet the cold hard ground. But it never came and Hikari had even shut her eyes tight to brace herself. Instead, she felt her legs dangling in the air and she felt something around her ribs.

!! Am I dead?! Or maybe I went straight through the floor headfirst and I got stuck right under my arms. IF I'M UPSIDE DOWN THEN THAT MEANS THAT MY UNDERWEAR IS SHOWING!! Oh well, I wear shorts under my skirt anyway. Or maybe I landed feet first... and then my feet are dangling above the lower level.

As Hikari contemplated these thoughts, she decided to open her eyes to find out.

...I'm looking in an open cabinet. ... WHAT THE HELL?! DIDN'T I DIE OR SOMETHING?!

Hikari looked down and saw two hands holding her right underneath the armpits as if she were Simba.

"You know, despite your height, I thought you would've weighed more," someone said from behind her.

The confused teen turned her head around to see the man that was holding her up. He was maybe early fifties and he was smiling up at her.

"KKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

Hikari's scream was loud and unearthly. Many yakuza members came running to the kitchen wondering what had just happened.

The old man had dropped Hikari out of surprise and she immediately ran behind Kino, the guy with the piercings. Hikari felt that they had a lot in common since she too had a lot of piercings. She had one belly button piercing, one cartilage piercing on her left ear, and ten piercings altogether on her earlobes.

"That man's a pervert," Hikari muttered as she hid behind Kino.

"That man's the Oyabun," Kino whispered back.

Hikari felt like her life was going to end very soon in the very near future.

Luckily, the Oyabun was actually a very nice man, to Hikari at least. It was also true that he liked kids.

Now, Hikari was happily eating her strawberries with sugar that Jin had bought and the Oyabun was sitting right next to her, talking to Jin, who looked very nervous.

"I'm sorry about her wild behavior, Oyabun. She didn't know who you were," Jin apologized.

The Oyabun put up a hand and said, "It's nothing. Ha-ha. Her scream gave me quite a scare though. It was so high-pitched that I thought it was going to render me unconscious. Is she your daughter?"

Hikari heard what she said and, with a strawberry in her mouth, she glared at the Oyabun.

"Ah-hah," Jin gave a weak laugh. "She's fourteen, sir. I would have been only ten if I were her father. She's Hikari Morino. Mattias' and Dameon's little sister."

The Oyabun put a hand on her head and said, "Ha-ha. I should have known! The two were the same when the family first happened upon them. Say, little Hikari, do you like magic tricks?"

The fourteen-year-old turned her head in the direction of the man. She thought he was slightly senile. "I'm a teenager you know," she stated with a dry expression, unsure if he was serious or not.

The man just kept smiling and Jin whispered to her, "Just say 'yes' to him. It'll make him happy. Ignore the 'little' he put in front of your name. He's an old man to everyone."

Turning back to the Oyabun and said uncertainly, "Uh, yeah, sure."

He just kept smiling and when he flicked his wrists, a bouquet of flowers was in his hand. Hikari clapped, genuinely amazed. He did a few more, and the last one made Hikari incredibly happy. The Oyabun reached behind Hikari's ear and pulled out some money and handed it to her.

She had tears in the corner of her eyes. "Ten-! Ten thousand yen!" she said her eyes aglow and the biggest smile on her face. "Thank you grampa!"

The old man laughed and said, "Grandpa, eh?! Ha-ha! Alright then I shall be your grandpa! If little Hikari needs anything, she comes to grandpa, okay?"

Hikari felt as if she were a toddler. She nodded her head and waved the bill in Jin's face. "Look what grampa gave me!"

Jin wasn't sure if the old man Hikari was now calling "grampa" was the same guy that was known as the "Oyabun" who led the yakuza family he was in. He wasn't sure if Hikari was the same person either. He knew her to be rebellious and stubborn, just like her older brothers, but now she was just like a four-year-old that received presents from grandparents whenever they visited. Putting "little" Hikari and "grampa" together was a dangerous thing. Jin had a premonition that he would no longer be sane if his life was to continue down the path it was on.

'What has my life come to?' Jin thought lifelessly as the old man told Hikari embarrassing stories with many of them having to do with Jin's poems.

After the Oyabun left, Hikari was left in the kitchen with Jin. His head was resting on the table and Hikari was still enjoying her strawberries.

"That was embarrassing," Jin muttered.

"Trust me, it'll only get worse from here," she said finishing the last of her strawberries. "Now I can blackmail the shit outta you."

She washed her bowls in the sink and then she asked, "Jin, am I a bother to you?"

He slowly raised his head and placed his chin on the table. "What brought that up?"

She sprayed the strawberry strained sugar off of the bowl she was holding and said, "Well, I do have a conscience you know, and I was just wondering since I just imposed on you and all."

Jin's gloomy mood was replaced by a surprised one. Though she couldn't see it, he smiled. "You really are like them," he said.

Hikari quickly looked back at him for a moment before washing the rest of the dishes. "What are you talking about?"

"You're really like your brothers. You have their eyes, you've got their glare, and you act just like them. They've got bad tempers that you obviously have too, but you've also got that guilty side where you wonder if what you're doing is alright."

The girl wanted to shrink into nothing as she washed the dishes quietly, waiting for Jin to continue.

"Mattias and Dameon, mostly Dameon, would always wonder if taking you from their grandmother's to spend time with you was such a good idea. They'd wonder if that made you happy and if the other yakuza members were annoyed with a baby around. None of us minded though. You were a very adorable distraction from the world. Ha-ha. Your cheeks were so red and you were so chubby when you were a baby. When your brothers had to go out, you were left under my watch. You scored me a couple of chicks, Hikari, and I thank you for that."

The young girl gripped the dish she was currently holding out of anger. It was not the time to be talking about how many chicks he managed to get laid with.

"But you're no diaper-wearing baby anymore," Jin said and got up with a sigh. He walked over to her and gave her a hug. "You're a growing young woman going through puberty and your brothers would be proud! I think I'm gonna cry."

There was a big vein in Hikari's forehead that was about to pop, just like her temper. It was one thing to talk about getting laid with chicks, but it was another to tease her about growing up and going through puberty. Her eyebrow twitched, but she tried to ease her anger. Once he let her go, Jin wiped a tear from the corner of his eye as he headed out of the kitchen.

Wow. I guess he really did mean it when he said that he was gonna cry. What a pussy. Oh... he didn't even answer my question.

"Hey, you didn't answer my question," she said with a slight frown.

All he spared her was a smile before walking to his room.

"Hey-!" she called but then the water started overflowing. "Ah!"

Hikari quickly turned off the water and let some go down the drain as she cleaned up the water on the floor.

"HEY!" she tried shouting for him. "YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE A VAGUE ANSWER LIKE THAT! I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT! HEY! COME BACK HERE!!"

After the dishes were done, Hikari took a bath and got ready for bed. She was in her pajamas and climbed under the blankets. Burying her head in the pillow, she filled her nose and lungs with an old familiar smell just before she fell asleep.

Hikari woke up the next morning before Jin had to come in her room and yell at her. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she checked the time on her cell phone. After letting out a long yawn, Hikari mumbled, "The hell? It's five in the morning, but damn I'm not even sleepy. I'm fuckin' wide awake."

Hauling her butt out of bed, Hikari dragged her feet all the way to the kitchen. She was slightly surprised to find the lights already on.

"Ah, Hikari! Good morning!" greeted Kino who raised a coffee mug to her entrance.

She winced at how loud his voice was and said, "Uhn. Yeah, morning."

He sipped his coffee and said, "Well you're obviously not a morning person."

She glared at him and went to the fridge for something to drink. "It's inhuman to wake up this early. I'm only up because I just woke up out of nowhere and couldn't get back to sleep."

"You don't seem awake."

Hikari stomped her feet and whined. "I'm tired! I wanna sleep! But I can't get to sleep!!"

"Alright, alright. Don't have a hissy fit, you'll wake everyone up and that is not a pretty sight."

Hikari's eyed zeroed in on an apple juice box and she immediately pulled it out of the fridge. She joined Kino where he was sitting. Poking the straw through the foil, she asked, "So why are you awake?"

He smiled and said, "I'm always up this early."

"Crazy," she mumbled as she bit on her straw.

"Not half as crazy as you are," he mumbled back.

"So what are you doing today?" Hikari asked as she drank her apple juice.

He shrugged and raised his mug to his lips. "Nothing. Maybe I'll go to the shooting range and get some target practice done."

"Oh! I wanna go too!" Hikari said.

"You've got school," Kino pointed out.

"I'll pretend to be sick!! It'll work!!"

Kino raised an eyebrow and said, "Not even. Besides, I don't even think you can fire a gun anyway."

Hikari scowled and said, "I'll prove it to you then. You take me to target practice and I'll show you I can fire a gun."

Kino laughed and said, "You're on. Let's make a bet though. If I win, you… have to… hmm… let's see… dress and act like a girl for an entire weekend."

"Well played," she replied as her eyebrow twitched. "If I win, every time I say the name 'Haruhi' you have to do the 'Hare Hare Yukai' dance."

"The what?"

Hikari grinned evilly and said, "Oh, don't worry. You'll find out soon enough, but now, you gotta take me and go target shooting!"

"Oh boy I'm probably gonna regret this," Kino mumbled as they both got up and made their way to his car after Hikari scribbled a note to Jin.

Yeah, I really hope you enjoyed this one.
