YAY! Chapter three! This *is* an important chapter. lots of things happen, so you might want to pay attention ^.^ Heh. I almost forgot. I own nothing. Only me (Rinoa, dur!) Ayame owns nothing. Only Ayame.

Ouch. My arm was just shut in a door. Pain. Moving on.

IN REIKAI

Kuronue (to Koenma)- I have a question.

Koenma- (stamping papers) Stamp, sure. Stamp, sure. Appeal, sure. Come back from the dead, why not?

Kuronue- ?

Koenma- (still stamping) Back from the dead, that's what you want, right? I can do that.

Kuronue- Yeah.

Koenma- Who am I bringing back?

Kuronue- Umm. Rinoa and me.

Koenma- Nope.

Kuronue- Why not?! You just said I could!

Koenma- Only one of you can go. If that.

Kuronue- If that? Why?

Koenma- (continues stamping) No time to explain.

Kuronue- .

Koenma- (still stamping) Whoever goes. only half of their spirit can be sent back.

Kuronue- Oh.

Koenma- So, who's going?

Kuronue (thinking)- ::Rinoa should live out the rest of her life::

Koenma- Hurry up.

Kuronue- Rinoa. Let her go back.

Koenma- Right. I'll get to that when I'm done stamping these documents.

Kuronue- Okay (leaves)

Rinoa- (sees Kuronue) Hi.

Kuronue- You're going back to Ningenkai.

Rinoa- Why?

Kuronue- You need to live out the rest of your life.

Rinoa- But. What about you?

Kuronue- I'll be here. Only one of us can go back. if that.

Rinoa- If that?

Kuronue- Only half of your spirit is going.

Rinoa- So. then. I'll still sort of be here with you, right?

Kuronue- I don't know. Koenma was busy and didn't give me all the details.

AT KURAMA'S HOUSE

Kurama- Ayame should be here soon.

Hiei- Hn.

B.D.- (smiles) If Rinoa was here, she would have just said something. and I would have kicked her.

Kurama- You mean she would say that every time Hiei says 'Hn' you smile.

B.D.- SHUT UP, YOU!!!

Kurama- Of course.

*The door bell rings*

Kurama- (goes to open the door) Hello, Ayame.

Ayame- Konnichiwa, minna-san.

Hiei- Hn.

B.D.- (smiles, for Hiei has "Hn"ed) Hi.

Ayame- Where's. oh. I almost forgot. Rinoa. and Kuronue.

Kurama- Yes, I know.

--------

Koenma- I can't guarantee that you'll ever meet up with Kurama and the others.

Rinoa- Ever again.

Koenma- You could. one day, but I can't promise anything.

Rinoa- And I'll sort of still be here with Kuronue, right?

Koenma- Ki Rinoa will be here.

Rinoa- Ki. Rinoa?

Koenma- Ki Rinoa. That's the half of you that will stay here. The dead- Rinoa basically.

Kuronue- .

Rinoa- But, then Kuronue will be here with the dead-me.

Koenma- Umm. Rinoa, Kuronue's dead, too.

Rinoa- Oh. right.

Kuronue- (laughs)

Koenma- Yes. and now. say your good-byes or whatever. Even though Ki Rinoa will still be here.

Rinoa- (hugs Kuronue) Bye.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Kuronue- Bye.

Koenma- Okay. Now I'm going to send you back to Ningenkai.

--------

B.D.- What now?

Hiei- Devil May Cry?

B.D.- Sure!

*Hiei and B.D. go to play video games*

Kurama- How can they sit there and play video games after two of their friends have just died?

Ayame- I don't know.

*Long moments of silence follow*

Ayame- (gasp) I.

Kurama- What?

Ayame- I think I can still feel Rinoa's spirit energy!

Hiei- How can you? She's almost as weak as a human.

Ayame- She's still alive. or something!

Kurama- But. the cliff.

B.D.- There's no way she could have survived.

Kurama- What about Kuronue?

Ayame- I can't feel his energy.

Hiei- I don't think she knows what she's talking about.

Ayame- Let's go find her! She's alive! I know she is!
