Here's another chapter.

Hikari and Fuyu returned to find Rei waiting for them.

"Where were you?" She demanded.

"What? We're not allowed to go for a walk?" Hikari said.

Rei sighed. "It's just that you didn't tell anyone where you were going and we got worried."

Rei pulled the two into the cave and sat them down on a chair. "Just tell us next time. Okay?"

Yoko and Kuronue walked in. Yoko noticed Hikari and turned around.

"Well, the strays have returned, I see."

"Really, there was no reason to get so worried."Fuyu said.

Hikari laughed. "You guys sound like my mother!"

Kuronue, Rei, and Fuyu laughed too.

Yoko came in carrying two plates. He handed them to Hikari and Fuyu."Here. Your dinner. We've already eaten."

"Thanks, Yoko."

Hikari and Fuyu finished their dinner quickly and then they went bed.

-Spirit World-

Koenma slammed his fists down on his desk. " You still havn't found them?"

"I'm sorry, sir." The frightened spirit whimpered.

"Find them! Look harder!"

"Yes sir!" The spirit ran out of the room.

"Koenma..." Botan whispered from the corner of the room.

"Yes...I know, Botan."

"I can't beleive that a spirit would turn against the Spirit World like this. I thought Hikari might but I never expected someone like Rei...Look on the bright side, sir. At least there are still a lot of spirits here that do serve you." She showed him an unconvincing smile.

-In Demon World-

"Get it off! Get it off!"

"Calm down, Rei. It's just a little spider." Kuronue assured her picking it off of her and setting it down on the tree it had came from. It crawled away quickly. "See. It's more scared of you than you are of it."

"I seriously doubt that." Hikari laughed.

"I hate spiders!" Rei screamed. "I hate 'em!"

"Careful, Rei. There are more around here and there could be a spider demon somewhere. If they hear you they could come and get you while you are sleeping."Yoko stated.

"Stop it!" Rei covered her ears with her hands and starting singing.

"Well, I'd say that it's time to go." Yoko said getting up from where he was perching on a rock and walking back toward the cave.

Hikari, Fuyu, and Kuronue followed him leaving Rei sitting under the tree singing to herself. It took a few minutes for Rei to notice that they had left her. When she had they were halfway to the cave. She followed them at a run yelling for them to wait. They stopped when she was a few feet from them and started laughing.

"What's the matter? Not going to finish your song for your fans?" Kuronue joked.

"Ha ha, very funny."

-Later that night-

Rei, Fuyu, and Hikari all sat in Rei's room talking. Yoko and Kuronue had both gone to bed and Rei and Hikari had decided to stay up gossiping. Fuyu joined them.

"No way! You mean you like him? You really like him?" Rei asked Hikari surprised. "I don't believe it!"

"Shh! They might hear you!"

"I would've never guessed." Rei said in a lower tone." You don't really show it."

"That's because I don't know if he'll return the feelings. I can't just tell him. You know how he is."

"Yeah...It is him. But that's so cute! You've finally found a guy that you like."

"Too bad he's a cold-hearted fox demon, right?"

"He's not that bad."

"Well, anyway, what about you and Kuronue? You two like each other don't you? I can tell. You two make a great couple."

"What? What makes you think that I like him?"

"It's obvious. The way you act around him, the way you look at each other, and...you're turning pink!"

Rei had felt the color coming to her cheeks and covered her face. Hikari smiled at her victoriously and Rei turned even more pink."Fine. Maybe I do like him a little bit," She admitted.

"A little bit? You like him more than that!"

"Drop it! Besides you like Yoko!"

"Yes, but I will admit to liking him. Come on, Rei, just tell me. It will just be between friends. I promise I won't tell him or Yoko." Then Hikari looked at Fuyu and jumped on him. "But you will have to go! Out spy!"

"Hey! What did I do? Get off!" Fuyu struggled to get out of Hikari's firm grip.

"You'll run off and tell Yoko and Kuronue as soon as we say."

"No I won't! I promise! Let me go!"

Hikari smiled and let go. "Well...If you promise. I know you wouldn't tell anyway."

Rei laughed. She knew that was the entire point of it anyway. "Fine. Maybe I do like him more than a little but I swear if he finds out and I find out that you told him I'll make both of your lives miserable. Deal?"

"Deal." They both said.
