"What do you mean they've left?" Yusuke asked, alarmed.
Botan handed him the note, it said,
We are leaving, don't bother looking for us because
You won't find us.
Aiko and Hiei
"Well, what are we going to do?" Kurama asked.
3 years had passed since the night Aiko and Hiei left. The search was useless. They couldn't find either of them. The Makai was too big for them to search and only Kurama, Ryo, Yusuke, and Kuwabara could go since they knew how to defend themselves. Then one day a girl approached them.
"Sorry, but you are on sacred grounds of the elemental goddess, Tiber. I suggest you leave or pay the price." The girl said.
"We are looking for some people and we'll leave when we want to." Yusuke said to the girl.
The girl had short, black hair and navy blue eyes.
"Amy, what is going on?" A man with spiky blue hair and black eyes asked.
"These people refuse to leave Tiber's land." Amy said.
"We'll just have to teach them a lesson!" The man said, shooting something that resembled Hiei's dragon of the darkness flame.
Amy shot a gust of black wind at Yusuke and Ryo. Ryo and Yusuke tried to block, but found that her attack was too powerful. After the two attacks, everyone was on the ground unconscious.
"Well, we can't just leave them here!" The man said. "Tiber would be mad if she didn't get to meet them!" The man said.
The man and Amy carried everyone to the temples and left them in a room until they woke up.
"Where are we?" Ryo asked.
The man came out of the shadows; "You are in the temples of Tiber, the elemental goddess of the East." He said.
"Who the hell are you?" Asked Kuwabara.
"Not that it is any of your business, but its Mat." The man said.
"Matt and Amy." Kurama muttered.
Amy and a woman walked into the room. The woman went up to the group and then turned to Mat and Amy, "Are these the ones?" She asked.
Mat and Amy bowed, "Yes, Tiber, they are." Mat said.
Tiber then turned to Kurama and shot a gust of wind at him. Normally it wouldn't have hurt so much, but she was right next to him so he was bleeding all over.
"That hurt, didn't it?" Tiber asked.
Kurama whimpered a bit but then glared at Tiber.
"Don't mind me asking, but do I know you two? You look so familiar!" She asked Mat and Amy.
"Hn, I doubt it." Mat said.
Kurama looked a little more closely at Mat and said uncertainly, "Hiei? Aiko?"
"Who?" Amy asked a little curious now.
Amy and Mat looked at each other then left the room talking in a foreign language.
"Who are they really?" Yusuke asked Tiber.
"They're Amy and Mat! Duh!" Tiber said, puzzled.
"When did you meet them?" Kurama asked.
"About two years ago. They needed a place to stay and I needed guards. They've been here ever since."
Kurama raised an eyebrow then turned to Yusuke, "Well, they left 3 years ago so it could be them." He said.
"Well, I'm assuming you need a place to stay, so...you can stay here for the night. I'll have someone show you to your rooms." Tiber said. "SARAH!" Tiber yelled.
Almost at once a girl about Aiko's height with brown hair in a ponytail and ragged clothes showed up.
"Yes, Madam?" Sarah asked.
"We have guests and I would like you to show them to their rooms, please." Tiber said pleasantly.
Sarah bowed and motioned for Yusuke, Kuwabara, Ryo, and Kurama to follow her. Kurama got settled in then went to go talk to Yusuke. On his way there, he heard voices coming from one of the rooms. He found the room and decided to listen in on the conversation. It was Mat and Amy talking.
"How could they know it was us, Amy?" Mat asked.
"I don't know, our disguises fooled even Tiber." Amy said.
Kurama left to find Yusuke and tell him what he heard.
"Yusuke, I am certain that Amy and Mat are Hiei and Aiko!" Kurama told Yusuke. He ended up telling Yusuke what little he heard of their conversation.
"Whoa, I wasn't prepared for this!" Yusuke said, panicking slightly.
"Well, it's not nice to eavesdrop." Mat said coldly from the doorway.
"Oh, and you shouldn't leave the door open, Kurama." Amy said cheerfully.
"It was by luck that we overheard you. Listen we are not this Hiei and Aiko." Mat said, turning on his heel to leave, but before he could, Amy stopped him.
"Mat, should we tell them?" Amy asked with a worried look on her face.
Mat's eyes flashed dangerously red before he shook his head, "It is our business, not theirs"
Amy and Mat left after that.
The next morning came soon enough. Sarah came and woke them up for breakfast. They soon went down to find a lot of people down at the breakfast table. Mat and Amy had been talking silently in a different language and looked up when they saw Yusuke and the others appear with Sarah.
"Good sirs and ladies, may I kindly introduce you to...." Tiber said, "What are your names, I don't believe I caught them last night." She asked.
"Their names are Yusuke Urameshi," Mat said pointing to Yusuke,
"Kazuma Kuwabara," Amy said doing the same.
"Ryo: sister of Rando," Mat said now pointing to Ryo,
"And Shuuichi Minamino, better known as Kurama."
After Amy said Kurama's name, a lot of people started mumbling about something.
"The Youko Kurama?" Someone said.
Kurama raised an eyebrow at this.
"He looks a lot different than what the legends say." Another said.
"Hey!" Yusuke yelled, "If you have something to say, why don't you share it with the rest of us?"
Tiber ignored all of this, and with a wave of her hand, everyone went quiet.
"Well, this is Mr. Sanders, Mrs. Kamiya..." Tiber went on and on with about 20 people.
But Yusuke didn't care; his eyes were on Mat and Amy. They didn't seem to notice that he was staring at them and kept talking in a different language. Yusuke could understand some of it and caught the sentence once again, 'How could they know it was us?' Yusuke didn't know what to think. He just wanted to find Aiko and Hiei. He wanted Amy and Mat to be them so bad so he could see there faces once again and so he could stop his silly search. Kurama was highly aware that any of these people could be Aiko and Hiei. This would be an ideal place to be. So many people here that they would only have to change their appearance and bits of their attitude and they'd fit right in. This was a game to Kurama, a hunt. Part of him wanted it to end, the other part thought it was only the beginning. Maybe it was, but he didn't know what part he should believe. He just wanted to find Hiei and Aiko and apologize for everything; he needed them. Without them the team was incomplete. Not to mention, Koenma wanted them back so he could sleep peacefully at night. Koenma needed someone to guard his territory. All in all, it seemed that everyone had reasons that were self- centered. Like Botan wanted them back so she didn't have to listen to Koenma whine about them being gone. Keiko wanted them back so Yusuke could stay with her in the human world. Shizuru didn't care whether they came back or not. Kuwabara wanted them back so he could stop searching. Ryo wanted them back because she had no one to pester and no rival. Kurama even had his own reasons. He wanted to go back to his family and leave peacefully there. They all had selfish reasons that towered above the reasonable ones. Kurama missed Hiei and Aiko.
'When will they come back?' He thought. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Botan handed him the note, it said,
