A/N: Yay! I'm on a roll now! And I have those of you who reviewed to thank for that! *Gives everyone who reviewed her story a dozen red roses.* So...what IS the difference between a Ningen and a Youkai? Oohh...too late! Time's up. LOL. Anyhow, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter, hopefully they're getting better as the story goes on. Enjoy ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sai and the youkai, Yoda, faced off with one another, Katanas raised. "You got lucky the 1st round, girl. You won't get lucky again!", Yoda cried, gasping. He had blood pouring down his arm and side. "Enough talk", Sai snapped. "Quit stalling!". "Very well. As you wish. Say goodnight, girl!". With a cry, Yoda rushed at the teenager.

Sai jumped back, but not before she suffered a deep gash across her stomach and one on her wrist from where she'd tried to block. She was amazed at how quickly her blood poured out, especially from the cut on her wrist. Yoda laughed at her. "Come on, girl. You're not done yet, are you?". Sai struggled to get at him again, lost her footing, and fell face downwards on the ground, her katana lying a few feet away.

Yusuke and the group arived to find Sai bleeding on the floor, and Keiko curled up, crying, under a tree. A dead youkai lay not too far from Keiko. There was no sign of anyone else. Touya ran to Sai and lifted her up. She looked up at him weakly. "I'm...sorry...", she appologized. Touya slid off his outer shirt and pressed it against her wounded stomach. "Don't be.". Yusuke, who had Keiko in his arms, said "Come on, we'd better get out of here. I don't know how much longer she can hold on for.". They raced out of the woods as fast as they could. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Sai? Hey, you allright there, kiddo?", Yusuke asked, peering down at the bird youkai's pale face. "Urameshi-san?". "You've been out for three days, girl. Do you feel better?". Sai tried to sit up, but a sharp pain stopped her. "Did Keiko-san...". A grin broke out on Yusuke's face. "She did. She had a boy. His name is Raizen.".

Keiko came in just then, holding the baby. He had a shock of dark brown hair on his head and big blue-green eyes. "I still don't understand how two people with brown eyes had a blue-eyed child", Yusuke said. Keiko laughed. "You also never payed attention in school. If you did, you'd know all babies are born with blue eyes."

"Yusuke?", Kurama whispered softly, peeking his head into the room. Yusuke looked up at his friend, and Sai blinked. "Who's he?", she asked. "That's Kurama in his Ningen form", Yusuke explained to her. "What's wrong?". "Can I see you for a moment?". Yusuke sensed fear in Kurama's voice. He stepped past his wife and son and crossed out of Sai's room. "What's the matter, Kurama?", he asked. Kurama held up what looked to be a letter. Fearing someone else had been kidnapped, Yusuke snatched the letter from the redhead's hands. However, it was worse...much, much worse.

The letter read: Traitorous Cowards: We know where you're hiding! If you don't accept your fates we will seek out all those you hold precious to you and kill them one by one. You have been warned!.

Yusuke felt himself go numb. They couldn't stop hiding, but he suddenly became worried for his mother and Keiko's parents. Hiei had Yukina and Kuwabarra to worry about, Kuwabarra had to worry about his sister, and Kurama...Yusuke gazed over at his redheaded friend. "This is what you were afraid was gonna happen, right?", he asked. Kurama mearly nodded. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

ONE WEEK LATER....

Why do I have to go to Ningen school?", Sai complained. "Because you're gonna be Shuichi Hakataka's (A/N: Is this his last name? I get confused easily. ^^) body guard. You're to make sure nothing happens to him and if something does happen, you're to let Kurama know right away", Chuu said. She pulled at the pink skirt she was wearing and growled at it. "I hate pink!", she cried. "Imagine being a guy and having to wear a pink uniform", Kurama said, smiling. "Now go, or you're going to be late."

"I owe you one, Kaito-san", Sai said, walking into her 1st period class. He had hacked into the computer data base and rigged it so she had every class together with Shuichi. She scanned around for the boy and soon spotted him, talking cheerfully with a boy with blond hair and a girl with very long, silver hair. She seated herself a few chairs away from the three and watched them intently. She had to smile as she realized how bright and happy Kurama's little brother seemed. The teacher came into the room then, and told the kids to gather at tables. "No more than four in a group, please.".

Sai watched Shuichi and his two friends walk over to the table and sit down. No one joined them, so she walked over and said "Can I join you?". Shuichi smiled up at her, a bright light dancing in his brown eyes. "Sure thing." "EW!", the girl suddenly screamed. Sai blinked and realized a large dead rat had just been put infront of them. "We're dissecting rats today?!", Sai cried. "Yeah...I feel sorry for you, entering this class and having to do this right away", the blond boy said. "Shuu...You want the honors?". Shuichi pulled a disgusted face as he picked up the sissors. "If no one else is gonna do it...".

Sai walked home with the group that afternoon to see Shuichi safely into his house. She was aware of Mitari, the blond boy, and the girl, Aya, chatting happily, but didn't want to join in the conversation. When they arrived at the Hakatakas' house, Shuichi offered everyone inside. Aya and Mitari agreed, but Sai said she had to go home and left as soon as the three were safely inside the house.

A/N: Well, that's all for now folks! :D Enjoy!
