Groundhog day
"Why are you so indistinct? And where's Holly" said Artemis
"How can you even see me?" asked the Elf "I'm shielded"
"Artemis can see you because he has been working on his strength in defense. Even he doesn't realize how much he has improved." said Kurama throwing a glance at Artemis.
"And to answer your second question, Holly has been kidnapped"
"How so?"
"She was sent to a mission in Atlantis and heard the Kings screams and went to help. She was considered a threat and was captured as well. Any more questions?"
"You may come in. What is your name?"
"Joem. Joem Rowan" (Thanks Yukina, I really liked my first name, but no other names went with it.) he said simply "Commander Root told me of the situation as far as his knowledge goes. The only thing that I don't understand is how pathetic Artemis was able to see through my shield."
"He has been training his body and spirit energy to see things that they normally wouldn't because they move too fast. He has been watching us fight for 3 or 4 days now. Remember the first time when you couldn't see us, and then, slowly, over time, your eyes adjusted and you could see blurs in the air. I'm sure you thought that we were moving slower, but that wasn't the case. You could see us moving just as fast." explained Kurama. Hiei threw a glance at Kurama as if to say, 'Would you stop talking like he won the Makai Tournament.'
Yusuke decided to cut in while dragging Kuwabara away from his food. "So, let's get going then! All this talking is boring me!"
"Man, Urameshi! You could've at least lemme finish my food!" Kuwabara yelled as he gobbled his food up at the speed of light (well, almost anyway).
"Come on!" said an annoyed Yusuke "I want to go kick some demon a-" he stopped as Kuwabara shoved some food in his mouth "What was that for?!?!"
"There are little people in the room, Urameshi!"
"Stupid"
"I hope you weren't talking about me!" said Artemis and Joem in unison.
"And if I was...?"
"Why you little..." said Joem
"I'm taller than you"
"..."
"I'm leaving" said Hiei as he headed towards the door.
"But I'm not done eating!!!" Kuwabara whined.
"Then I will leave you behind" said Hiei and he took off.
"Wha-hey! Wait for me!" yelled Kuwabara. He snatched one last muffin before leaving after Yusuke.

"Aw man! We've been walking forever! Are we there yet?" complained Kuwabara They saw a little thing pop out of the ground. "What the heck is that?!" he yelled.
"Will you be quiet already?!" growled Hiei, who had the unfortunate luck of being right in front of Kuwabara and his whining. Hiei had a migraine and was getting VERY impatient.
"Shut up Shrimp!" he retorted.
Artemis cut in before they could continue to quarrel. "Yes, Kuwabara, we're almost there." he sighed. He didn't actually know if this was true, but it might keep the idiot quiet.
Yusuke hit Kuwabara on the head. "To answer your question, it's a groundhog. Don't you even know what a groundhog is?!"
"Of course I do, Urameshi!" Kuwabara paused for a moment, his usual look on his face that read "there is absolutely nothing going on in my head right now" and continued, "Hey Urameshi I was thinkin'-"
"WHOA! Don't tire yourself out there Kuwabara! It's not normal for you to think!" Yusuke cut in, "You might get a headache." Yusuke smirked at his own joke. Even Hiei smirked, which was to him, just Yusuke stating the facts.
"Shut it Urameshi! And lemme finish!" yelled Kuwabara. " Isn't today groundhog day or something?"
Yusuke stopped laughing when he noticed that *gasp!* Kuwabara had a point! "Hey-yeah it is! And I can see his shadow, too." he said, looking closer at the animal.
"Darn!" Kuwabara mumbled. "Six more weeks of winter..."
"How can you even see his shadow??? It's night!" Hiei who hadn't spent much time in the human world, had no idea what they meant. A shadow of a little creature determining what season it is? He simply resorted to looking at them like they were insane, which-at the moment- they certainly seemed so.
Arty rolled his eyes and continued on behind Joem. "Here we are. Everyone still here?" Joem asked, turning around to face them. What he saw was a very annoyed Hiei, who looked as though he wanted to strangle someone (preferably Kuwabara...), and Kuwabara and Yusuke "playing" with the creature. Only Artemis and Kurama were really paying attention to him.
"Man, I didn't know groundhogs were so adorable! ( yeah right...)" said Kuwabara, waving his index finger in front of the creature's nose. He soon found out that the creature wasn't a groundhog. He also found out that whatever this thing was, it could bite REALLY hard..."OOWWIEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kuwabara screamed, right into the unfortunate Hiei's ear. He held his throbbing finger and stared at it dumbly as if it was infected. "IT BIT ME!!!"
"That was happens when you wave your finger in front of it's mouth!" Hiei growled, about ready to strangle the buffoon. Kuwabara completely ignored Hiei.
"IT BIT ME!" He screamed again, as if nobody had heard him the first time. It was obvious that THING wasn't a groundhog...as it said, "What the...!"
