Nakoruru (^ ^): Well, things are really heading in a good direction, eh, Blaze?

Blazer (shrugging): Whatever.

Nakoruru (ignoring him): Like I said before, some muse and friend you are. You mangy. . .(her butt is set on fire with a glance from muse). . .ah!!!

(Puts butt out with water and glares at the fire demon with angry eyes.)

Nakoruru: Sorry. Jeez.

Blazer: Thank the reviewers.

Nakoruru (glares at muse): Thanks Arcia, Ss JK, Devils Little Doll, Kayla, ChibiChaos, Fire Fly, and all others. Say, what happened to Chaos Mage, Chibi? SilverCaladan, please calm down, we may have to admit you somewhere this keeps up. Shea. . .gomen nasai about the Yusuke thing. It wasn't my idea so much. I just write on request from others, don't hurt me. Don't tell Keiko either, I'll be in big trouble. ^ ^;;

Shaiala Rialle, thanks for sticking with us this long, I wouldn't have stuck with the inners this long if everyone didn't like the story. NO!. . .well, this story will be about four more chapters. I'm basing this off of the two days that the Hakusho boys will be in the Moon dimension. You should be glad, the original length of this story was only seven chapters!!! Prince of Crossovers, I try to catch all of my grammar and spelling errors but it's not so easy at times. Now, let's get this thing started.

Chapter 9

Kuwabara yawned with complete bored as he shut off the Neo Geo for the morning. After that brown-headed girl had left for school that morning, things were increasingly quiet. Yusuke had disappeared somewhere for the time, leaving Kuwabara alone. The orange haired male wondered what was up with the spirit detective. Ever since they had come to this world, Yusuke seemed different. At first Kuwabara thought it had to do with the fact that they were leaving their dimension unguarded, but now he had a hunch that it was something else.

Since yesterday, the girl with the brown hair and Yusuke had been acting differently. They were always talking amongst each other and tag teamed him with insults. It was like over the course of the day, they had become the best of friends. If it had been a guy, Kuwabara wouldn't have bothered to think about it (like he thinks about much anyway). But this was a girl that Urameshi was becoming all chummy with. It wasn't natural unless. . .

Kuwabara jumped up from his seat on the sofa and headed for the door. Going outside, he made sure that the door was closed before he raced off to find Yusuke. Following the spirit detective's energy, Kuwabara found Yusuke sitting in the park thinking. Yusuke opened his eyes when he sensed Kuwabara's energy. "I thought you were playing video games. What's up?"

"You know what's up, Urameshi," Kuwabara said angrily, pointing at Yusuke. Yusuke rose a brow, not knowing what was going through Kuwabara's head, as usual.

"What are you talking about? Don't tell me that you've been thinking again," Yusuke said as a joke.

"Well, yeah, of course," Kuwabara said, obviously not getting the joke that Yusuke had made. "How did you know?"

"You get stupider when you think," Yusuke replied. Yusuke watched the flush of anger sweep over Kuwabara's face. Yusuke always found this a source of amusement; Yusuke suspected Hiei found it amusing also which was why he always made Kuwabara mad.

"Are you trying to say that I'm too stupid to think, Urameshi! I'll cream you!" Kuwabara clenched his fists ready to attack Yusuke. "I'll show you who's stupid!" He lunged at Yusuke his fist cocked back. Yusuke moved from the bench and kneed Kuwabara in the stomach. While the orange haired male was open, Yusuke proceeded to throw a barrage of punches, knocking his friend unconscious.

The few individuals that were witness to this event walked away with shocked eyes. A few women whispered to themselves about the delinquent boys as they went about their way. Yusuke was use to the looks and whispers. Looking down at Kuwabara, he nudged the boy with his foot. "Hey, Kuwabara, this is no place to take a nap. Get up and go back to Lita's place. Kuwabara." When Yusuke got no response, he proceeded to kneel beside the male and smack him a couple of times. "Hey, Kuwabara, you in there. I know I didn't hit you hard enough to put you in a coma."

"I don't want to get up. . .let me sleep a little longer mommy," Kuwabara muttered.

"Hey, come on, get up Kuwabara. I don't want to leave you out here." Yusuke smacked the male again. This time Kuwabara's eyes fluttered open. "Wake yet."

"The. . .heck. What are you doing in my room, Urameshi? Is it time for school?" Kuwabara sat up as he looked around. "Wait! Where's my bed? Why am I in a park?"

"Well, we see you're short on memory. Remember that we're in another dimension. You came to find me, ranting about something, I insulted you, you attacked me, and I kicked your sorry ass," Yusuke smirked, standing up.

"Oh, yeah. Wait! Now I remember!" Kuwabara glared at Yusuke as he stood up himself. "You are a sneaky snake! How could you!"

"How could I what?" Yusuke wondered if he finally had killed what few brain cells Kuwabara had in his empty head. He had no clue what his friend was ranting on about.

"You know what I mean!" screamed Kuwabara. "How could you cheat on Keiko with that hot macho chick?"

"Hot. . .macho chick?" Yusuke knew what Kuwabara meant, but he wasn't going to let Kuwabara know that he knew. He already had to figure out how he was going to tell Keiko once he got back. He didn't know if she would forgive him or not. The last thing Yusuke needed was to hear Kuwabara's rants and raves for another day. They would be leaving tomorrow night. If he could be with her without any remainders of things, he would be fine.

"Don't play dumb! I'm talking about the chick we're staying with! Lita! How can you cheat on Keiko with her!"

"Kuwabara, what gives you that idea?" Yusuke said. He gave Kuwabara a dull look, but behind those eyes laid worry.

"Well. . .um. . .you two have been hanging out since yesterday. I even know that you walked with her halfway to school before coming back. You were talking early this morning, and you didn't go to sleep till late last night! Only people who are into each other like me and Yukina should do that!"

"Um, Kuwabara, ever thought that maybe she's an interesting person to talk to and we were talking about our different interests and dimensions. Is there something wrong with wanting to get to know someone now? Liking them has nothing to do with it. You shouldn't bark up trees you don't know about." With that, Yusuke walked off, leaving his friend standing there.

Kuwabara wondered if he was wrong about his claims. Could he have mistaken his friend's curiosity for more? "No, I know there's something more. I can sense it! If he won't be a man about it, I will find a way to prove that there was more going on. He'll be so busted!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mina yawned as class droned on. *Why does class have to be soo boring! I need something to do!* The scout of love sighed as she looked out the window she sat next to. Maybe she would go somewhere after school. She would ask the other sailors, but she was sure they would all have things to do. Amy probably had cram school, Serena would be ogling Darien, and Raye already had plans along with Lita.

Mina stopped for a moment to think about Lita and Raye. The girls had been changing as of late. It was no secret to her and many of the other scouts that Lita found the red headed Kurama to be attractive. But just recently, it seemed her attention for him had faded, as if someone else had caught her attention in full force. Mina wondered who this mystery guy was. Lita hadn't said anything that would give them a hint to this guy's identity.

As for Raye, it seemed that her heart was either captured or being captured by a guy. Mina wondered if it could be one of the boys that were staying with her at the temple. Both we're very attractive, but Hiei was a bit of a tyrant. She was sure Raye would have to kill him if she liked him. Which only left Kurama. Even Amy had to admit that Kurama was the catch of the century. There was no other guy that could come close to him. It would not surprise Mina if that was who Raye liked.

*I'm not too worried about Raye for now, but I do want to know who Lita's going out with. Guess Sailor V has a new case! Operation find out who Lita likes!* A grin rose to Mina's face as she planned out her idea.

"May the class know what's so funny Miss Aino?" The teacher remarked as he glared at her.

A bead of sweat and a flush of embarrassment appeared. "Nothing sir. I was enjoying the lesson so much that I just had to smile. You can go ahead with the wonderful lesson sir!" The teacher continued to stare at her for a minute before turning back to the day's lesson. Mina sighed, thanking Buddha for not getting a detention. For her plan to work, she didn't need to stay after school today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lita grabbed her things and hurried out the door once her last class was over. Rushing to her locker, she quickly got her shoes from the locker and putting them on.

"Hey Lita, how about we go to the arcades today!" Serena appeared in front of her, with Kurama and Hiei closely in tow.

"I thought I told you, I have plans this afternoon," Lita said.

"More important than hanging out with me and the others." A mischievous grin appeared on Serena's face as she looked at Lita. "So, who's the lucky guy that you met."

"Serena! It's not like that!" Lita blushed. "I was just planning on going to see a movie. And stuff. Nothing really big."

"But you're not doing it alone! So, who's the guy! Come on you can tell me! I won't tell anyone."

"Serena! I'd rather not discuss it. Could you please drop it?" pleaded Lita.

"Fine, but you better tell me that you had a good time," Serena winked.

"I will," Lita smiled.

Serena turned to the two males with her. "So I guess that it's just me, Mina, you two, and Raye."

"I'm sorry, Serena. But Raye and I were planning to head out today as well. I promise to spend some time with you tomorrow to make up for today," Kurama spoke out. Two pairs of surprised eyes looked at him, while another pair gave him a curious look.

"Oh, so you and Raye are going on a date!" teased Serena. "I would have never guessed. Well, I'm happy for you. She can be stubborn and ill tempered, so you might need to watch out."

"Raye's very nice, pay Serena no mind," Lita remarked. "I hope you have a good time." Kurama turned to smile at her, she still felt some feelings for him, but her feelings for Yusuke were stronger. Lita had no doubt that it was better this way.

"Thank you, Lita. And I will keep a watch out for that temper of hers. But I don't think it's nothing I can't handle. I've had to deal with worst tempers before." His glance shifted to Hiei, but the male paid no attention to the remark, as if his mind was elsewhere. Serena and Lita also noticed this.

"Hiei, are you okay?" Serena moved closer to the male, looking at him. "You've been quite for way too long."

"Nothing." The male disappeared from sight, leaving the girls to wonder if it was really the truth. Kurama had a feeling that Hiei was changing and did not like what he was finding.

"He shall be fine. You shouldn't worry," Kurama assured.

"Okay, if you think so." Kurama noticed Serena's eyes seemed worried. There was a change inside of her also. One that she couldn't control but tried. Could she be feeling the same as Hiei?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mina was entirely surprised to find Lita talking with Kurama and Hiei's friend. If she remember correctly, his name was Yusuke. If she also remembered correctly, he had a girlfriend back in his dimension. *Oh, this is so scandalous. This guy is a major player! Lita doesn't know what she's getting herself into! I should follow them to see what happens!*

As Mina was following the two, she noticed that someone else was following them. Though this guy wasn't being too conspicuous about what he was doing. The orange haired male was walking about a few feet behind them, every so often ducking behind a mailbox or on the side of a building. Mina sighed, then giggled as he tried to blend in with the scenery. Mina tiptoed up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. The male nearly jumped out of his skin, not sensing her.

He swung around and looked down at the girl with the blonde hair with the red bow in the back. She placed a finger to her lips and told him to follow her. She went back to her position across the street from the two she was following. Once out of the reach, she grinned at the tall male, who continued to look down at her confused.

"So, I guess we have the same objective, eh! How about we team up?" Mina suggested.

"You're one of that girls friends, aren't you?" inquired the male.

"Yep! The name's Mina Aino. And you're. . .um. . .wasn't it, Karowaba?"

"It's Kuwabara! Kazuma Kuwabara!" Kuwabara said hotly.

"Sorry, sorry, my mistake! No need to get upset. So, why are you following them anyway?" Mina jerked her thumb to the two that had stopped in front of a store to talk.

"I'm going to prove that Urameshi is cheating on his girlfriend with your friend. I'm going to bust him once I have all the evidence I need. Why are you following them?" questioned Kuwabara.

"I wanted to find out who Lita was spending the afternoon with. So I decided to follow her. Now I'm a bit curious about this forbidden relationship. So, shall we team up!"

"Okay." The two followed Lita and Yusuke for another two blocks, ducking behind trees and buildings. The two received stares from bystanders, as they continued their "espionage work".

"I can't hear what they're talking about, we need to get closer to them," Kuwabara whispered to Mina as they crouched behind a sign.

"If we get any closer, they'll notice us," Mina said.

"So how do we plan on busting them if we can't hear what they're talking about?" Kuwabara said.

"I'm thinking of that. Give me a moment." Mina thought for a long moment about their situation. Finally something hit her. "I got it!"

"What?"

"We use this!" With a smile, Mina pulled out a pen from her school uniform. Kuwabara noticed that it was a purple pen with a red jewel centered in a tiny crown at one end of the pen.

"We're going to write our way them in order to hear them?" Kuwabara said idiotically. Mina looked at him strangely for a long minute, then shooed off his idea.

"No, no. This is a special pen I got from my friend. I asked her to hold it for an occasion like this," Mina grinned.

"What's does it do?"

"It's a transforming pen. You can turn into what you want. You say disguise power and tell it what you want to turn into," explained Mina.

"Cool! But how is that going to help us get closer?" Kuwabara looked at the girl who stared at him with a disbelieving look. "What are you staring at?"

"Nothing. Any way, like I was saying. We can use the pen to transform into what we want. My plan is that we turn into an old couple and walk close enough behind them to hear what they're saying. That way we can know what's up! Smart huh!"

"That's a genius plan, Mina, just one problem." Mina squeaked as both she and Kuwabara turned around to find Lita and Yusuke glaring down at them. "We heard the plan."

"Oh, Lita. . .what a. . .um. . .surprise to see you. . and. . ." Mina felt sweat roll down her face as she watched Lita cross her arms with a look of anger on her face. "Um. . .I didn't know. . ."

"Kuwabara, you are so dead." Yusuke cracked his knuckles with a look on his face that Kuwabara was quite familiar with. The two individuals knew they were in trouble, and the only option left for them was to run for their lives. Yusuke and Lita close behind them.

"So idea that was!" Mina screamed at Kuwabara as they ran for their lives.

"Oh, so it was my idea now! You were the one that wanted to use a stupid pen!" Kuwabara shot at her.

"Oh, just shut up and keep running. If they catch us, we won't have to worry about it anymore!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nakoruru (grins): Another chapter done. Hurrah!

Blazer: Adding some comedy to the mix I see.

Nakoruru: Sorry for the folks that wanted a Kuwabara/Mina chapter. This was as close as they could get since Kuwabara has so many codes of honor and I know betraying Yukina's love is not one of them. Any way, it would be too creepy to have Kuwabara of all people involved with Mina. He scares me enough as it is most times. (shudders)

Blazer: Well, we got through this finally. It took so long to come up with the outline that I thought we would never get some work done.

Nakoruru: Well excuse me. I've been planning for Raye and Kurama's chapter. I hope everyone liked this chapter. I did the best I could on it. And please continue to stay with us. Just a few more chapters. Review and tell me what you think! Flame me, praise me, tell me you want more, all of it is welcomed.
