Chapter 5- It Ain't Over Yet
Whack! Hiei woke up, startled by the object that made contact with his head. "Yo, Hiei! Look down here!" a familiar voice called out. It was Jenny. "Hey, everyone is gonna go out to get some lunch, you wanna come?" Yusuke asked. He jumped down and stood in front of the two, and looked at Jenny. "Will you be coming?"
"Of course, why wouldn't she?" Kurama asked out of amusement. "Hn, I was just wondering, Youko." "Right…well screw that! Let's get something to eat, I'm starving!" Kuwabara exclaimed. "Kuwabara, you're always hungry! Why do men eat so much?" Jenny joked. "Well, now you know what I have to deal with," Shizuru replied. "Keiko, if you plan to get married to Yusuke in the near future, you better not have an empty kitchen. I swear, that guy is gonna eat us out of our home one of these days…" "Hey, I don't eat that much! Do I?" Yusuke wondered. "Yes you do Spirit Detective!" Botan joked.
"Why do you shut up, and let us go grab something to eat! We've just trained and now I'm starving!" Kuwabara complained. "Alright, alright, let's go get something to eat before the big baby blows his pacifier!" Yusuke taunted. "What? Urameshi! Right here, right now, you and me!" "Kuwabara, I thought you were hungry," Kurama insisted. "Yeah, go get something to eat and then get bloodied up later!" "Hn, let the baboon be. If we're lucky, he might end up in the Spirit World," Hiei chuckled. "That was wrong, dude."

Later that night at the Urameshi residence, Jenny was tossing and turning in her bed. "Geez, why can't I get any sleep?" She looked over on her bedpost and saw the Black Jewel. There was a strange glow to it, almost like a lively glow. "My gosh, what's wrong with this thing now? Man, if only my demon parents left my human parents with some kind of instructions about this stupid jewel. It would've been a hell of a lot easier," Jenny mumbled. Slowly, she got off and walked over to the glowing jewel. It had an eerie purple glow to it and it almost seemed…alive. "What the hell is going on here?"
"Hello?" Kurama answered groggily. Who in the world would knock at his door this late? "Kurama, there's something weird happening with this jewel. You're about 300 years old, right?" "Yes, I supposed, but what does this have to do with your jewel?" "Well can I come inside and then explain? It's not the most comforting thing standing outside in a pair of boxer shorts and a t-shirt you know…" she replied. "Oops! I'm terribly sorry; I guess I'm still a bit sleepy. Please, come in but be quiet. My family is sleeping upstairs." She gave him a quick nod and stepped inside, away from the blowing wind (hey I know it's summer but it can be cold round my place!)
"So, what do you need my help with then?" he asked, becoming fully awake after adjusting to the light. "Well the jewel is startin to act kind of…funny as you would say. Dude, I mean like the thing is glowing!" She took it out of her pocket and placed it on the table. "Strange, I didn't think that it would start to glow until later," he mumbled. "What are you talking about?"
"I guess Botan hasn't told you about the jewel yet, hasn't she?" "Well, I only know that it has a lot of power and a lot of demons are after it." Strange, I thought Koenma and Botan would have told her by now. "So, I supposed I should tell you then, shouldn't I?" "I suppose." "Okay then, well, it goes like this…"

Huh? What's that? Oh, the chapter is too short you dare say? Well sorry bout that, at least I updated didn't I? The next chapter should be longer but I'm going to be busy.
Kurama: Busy doing what?
Andy: Personal stuff…
Hiei: It's about that stupid ningen, Aleks, isn't it?
Andy: It's none of your business, dumbass!
Kurama: I'm still surprised that Hiei hasn't killed you for calling him that.
Hiei: Hn, maybe I pity her.
