Author's Notes- Thanks for reviewing, Moon Minamino and weirdo-loser-freak. Well

here's the third chapter.

Explanations and Confusion

(3rd chapter)
"Well," Kurama started, "um, you see" He didn't quite know how to tell
them.

"Here." He handed the girls the two pictures of the demons. "These are two demons who

are destroying the Spirit World. Do you see a resemblance?" As soon as they saw the

pictures, the girls were speechless. "How did you. . . when did you. . . where did you get

these pictures?" Suki stuttered. "Koenma gave them to us. These were taken a few days

ago, at a massacre. We have heard that about 150 demons were killed that one night by

these two. They're feared by many." Kurama replied. Maeko and Suki just stared at the

pictures.

"These look like us." Suki stated. Everyone sweat-dropped. "Thank you for

stating the obvious, Genius." Maeko snapped. "Well he asked if we saw the

resemblance!" she retorted. "It wasn't a question that you answer!" The two girls yelled

at each other for a few minutes, before all you could hear were them hitting and kicking

the other, and their screams. Suki's three brothers ran into the room. "Shuichi! What

happened?!" Daichi yelled, trying to be heard over the commotion. "They got mad." he

replied. "Right. . ."

"LET GO OF MY HAIR, BITCH!!!!!!!" Maeko yelled. "THEN YOU LET GO

OF MY NECK!!!!!!!!!" Suki replied. "I SAID LET GO!!!!!!" "MAKE ME!!!!!"

"FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "OWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! MAE-CHAN, THAT

HURT!!!!!!! DON'T STRANGLE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "WELL YOU SAID TO MAKE

YOU LET GO OF MY HAIR!!!!!!!!" "THAT DIDN'T MEAN STRANGLE ME,

IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN IDIOT, IDIOT?!?!?!?!?!?!"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN IDIOT, IDIOT?!?!?!?!?!?!" "WHO ARE YOU

CALLING AN IDIOT, IDIOT?!?!?!?!?!?" "HEY, MAE-CHAN, DON'T CALL ME AN

IDIOT JUST BECAUSE I CALLED YOU AN IDIOT BECAUSE YOU CALLED ME

AN IDIOT BECAUSE I CALLED YOU AN IDIOT BECAUSE YOU TRIED TO

STRANGLE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The girls stopped trying to kill each other and

looked at the other for a minute, before bursting into laughter.

"You look so stupid!!!" Suki managed to say in-between laughs. "So do you,

baka!" All the boys were sweat-dropping in the background. "Why were we fighting,

anyway?" Suki asked. Maeko thought for a moment. "To tell the truth, I don't

remember." "Me either." They looked at each other a minute before standing up and

sitting back on the couch. "So, what were you saying?" Suki asked, seriously. ""Well, we

were telling you about the massacre and the two demons." Kurama said. (Just FYI Suki's

brothers left the room, after Suki & Maeko stopped fighting) "Oh, yes, about that...WHY

DO THEY LOOK LIKE US?!?!?!?!?!" Suki questioned. "Well, now that we found out

you two are not the demons, I'm not exactly sure." The fox youkai replied. Suki looked at

him for a moment before glancing at her watch. Seeing that it was already 10:59 p.m., she

thought it would be best if the boys got going. "Um...Kurama, Hiei, it's getting late, and

I'm getting tired, do you think maybe we could meet tomorrow or something, to further

discuss this?" she asked. "Hai." Kurama said, "How about we meet at the café around 2.

Is that okay?" Suki glanced at Maeko, who just nodded. "Great! I'll see you tomorrow!"

They all got up and walked to the door. 'Good-byes' were said and the two boys left.

As soon as they left Maeko and Suki ran back over to the couch and plopped

down. "That was weird. Ne, Mae-chan?" Suki asked, while glancing over at her friend.

"Hai. It was." Maeko replied, looking away.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Maeko asked. "I guess." The two, popped a dvd into the

player and started to watch it. After 2 hours, Maeko looked down at Suki, whose was

currently on the floor. 'Baka' she thought. She picked the girl up and placed her on

the couch. She placed a blanket over her, and left.

Maeko walked down the steps, and found someone waiting for her, Hiei. "What

do you want?" she asked, annoyed that there was someone blocking her way. But at the

same time, she was happy to see the fire demon, whom she had actually started to like. "I

need to talk to you." he replied. "Of course, why else would you be here?" she snapped

back. "Why did you lie about the fact that you are a demon?" Maeko stared at him. "Who

says I was lying?" she asks. "Don't lie, girl. You and I both know that you're a demon. I

can sense your energy. I know that Kurama felt it too. But it's not only you, is it?" Hiei

asked, smirking. "It's that other girl, too. Am I right?" Maeko glared at him. "Fine, since

you apparently know so much about me, yes, I'm a demon." she said. "Hn." "I don't

know, or care, what the hell you do to me, but you leave Suki out of this. She didn't do

anything. She doesn't even know that she's a demon yet!!!" Hiei stared at Maeko for a

minute. "She doesn't know that she's a demon?" "No!!! One of the only reasons that I

hang around her, is that her demon mother, is also mine!!!" "She's related to you?" Hiei

asked, in disbelief. "Yes!!! And she still doesn't know about her powers, or her biological

family, or being a demon, at all!!! So don't talk to her about it!!!" Maeko yelled,

apparently getting mad. "But we've already talked to her about it. And we're meeting her

tomorrow to further discuss it." Hiei reminded her. "Yes, but I was, and will be, there to

make sure you don't get too far into the conversation. She's not ready to know yet. Don't

make her more confused than she already is." The two stared at each other for a few

minutes, in stony silence. "I need to go now." Maeko said, before disappearing into the

night.

Author's Notes- Sorry this chapter is so short, I'll make the next one longer. I kinda have

writer's block right now though. Oh, and you know how I described Suki's outfit in the

first chapter, well on 12/4/03 I had almost the same outfit on. I had on a black coat

(except in ended a few inches below my butt, unlike Suki's), red scarf, black hat, and

black gloves. Under all my "winter wear" I had on a white sweater (except it wasn't lace-

up) and jean pants (not a jean skirt, but close enough). It was really weird. . .
