(Insert normal, lame disclaimer if you so wish.)
Ivy Raine: I apologize for not introducing myself earlier. I'm Ivy Raine, the authoress. Well, one of my friends is helping me. *looks around* Apparently, she's not here. I'll see if she shows up any time soon. *looks thoughtful* You know something. I hate disclaimers.
Allyna: Yeah. A waste of space in an otherwise excellent story.
Ivy Raine: *smiles*
Hiei: Yeah, I'm even enjoying it.
Ivy Raine: I have never been paid a higher compliment than the great Hiei Jaganshi enjoying one of my stories.
Hiei: *frowns*
Allyna: What's wrong?
Hiei: I am wondering how Kurama and everyone else is doing. Even that idiot, Kuwabara.
Ivy Raine: I'm sure you'll find out soon.
Hiei: Just get on with the story, you stupid ningen.
Ivy Raine: I don't like being insulted. Not when I could kill you. *draws sword*
Hiei: Let's rumble!
(Ivy Raine and Hiei begin to fight.)
Allyna: *sighs* And on with the show!
-------------------------------------------
Morning came and he stretched leisurely. She saw the motion and spun.
"G-g-good morning."
"Good morning, Quinneke," he yawned.
'What's wrong?' he thought curiously.
"We're going to be late for church if you don't hurry, Hiei."
He nodded and hopped out of bed. Allyna moved and was quite careful as she made it up. He noted this, but didn't quite understand the reasoning behind it.
Finally, she hitched up her two stallions, Blaze and Storm, to the wagon. "You are afraid. Why?" he queried.
"Because, if this doesn't work, I'm utterly ruined. I will never again be hired to teach by another board."
"It will work. I promise.
--------------------------
Kurama flopped down on his bed and sighed heavily.
No one had seen Hiei in nearly a month. His house was locked and, after picking the lock, Kurama had seen that it was covered in dust. Kuwabara couldn't even trace his Spirit Energy, which, after training with that mystery lady, had grown immensely.
'What has happened to him? Where is that baka youkai?' he pondered.
Hiei wasn't in the Makai, either. Yuusuke had checked with Jinn. Funnily, even Koenma was looking for Hiei. And with no success.
Then, Kurama's heart plummeted.
'Don't let it be so!'
-----------------------
She drove right up and saw Reverend Thompson and Miss Abigail waiting for her.
"Good morning, Miss Abigail. Reverend Thompson."
"Good morning, Miss Emerald," stammered the reverend. "Who is this?"
On the way to the church, she had discussed with Hiei what he should and should not do. One of the 'should not's was speaking.
"May I introduce my cousin, Jonathon Bravefire? Also known as Wuttah Mauo, or Weeping Heart."
Abigail Johnson looked as if she had swallowed an unripe persimmon. "Your cousin?"
"Yes, ma'am. He doesn't speak English well."
The reverend shot Crabby Abby a dirty glance and said, "Well, a pleasure, Mister Bravefire." Then he walked into the church.
Miss Abigail looked at her and muttered, "I think it time for service."
"Indeed, Miss Abigail," she replied, tying the horses to the hitching post. She saw Hiei jump down. "Wuttah Mauo! Aquie!"
Hiei stilled and grinned.
She rolled her eyes.
------------------------
Kurama logged on to MSN Instant Messager and noticed that everyone was logged in. Immediately, he sent out an IM to Yuusuke and invited the rest.
(A/N: No, I do not work for Microsoft. I merely like MSN IM better than AOL or Yahoo!)
SpiritGun: 'Sup, Kurama?
ReluctantHuman: I think that I've figured out what happened to Hiei.
The_Best_Fighter: Where's the punk?
IceKoorime: I do hope he's all right.
The_Best_Fighter: Yukina!
IceKoorime: Kazuma, be nice.
HumanPsychic: Kuwabara, if you don't behave, I'll tell Mom about that little thing that you know she wouldn't like.
The_Best_Fighter: I'll behave.
ReluctantHuman: *grins*
The_Best_Fighter: Shut up, Kurama.
Ukimura: *deciding it's time to interrupt* Is Hiei okay?
ReluctantHuman: I don't know, Kuwabara and Keiko. If I'm right, Hiei could be anywhen.
SpiritGun: Anywhen? Don't you mean 'anywhere'?
ReluctantHuman: No. Anywhen.
Much to his amusement, Kuwabara figured it out first.
The_Best_Fighter: Time travel.
ReluctantHuman: Got it in one, Kuwabara. Yukina, I need to speak with Botan. See what you can do.
IceKoorime: Certainly, Kurama. When should she get in contact with you?
ReluctantHuman: Immediately.
(IceKoorime has logged off.)
The_Best_Fighter: I'm going to help Yukina.
(The_Best_Fighter has logged off.)
HumanPsychic: Kurama, I'd better go take care of my little brother. Knowing him, he'll behave like an idiot.
ReluctantHuman: That's all right, Shizuru.
(HumanPsychic has logged off.)
ReluctantHuman: What about you, Yuusuke and Keiko?
SpiritGun: Let Kuwabara go. He's dumb enough to do it.
ReluctantHuman: I thought you liked Hiei.
SpiritGun: As much as I like a toothache.
Ukimura: Yuusuke Urameshi! If you don't go, I'll tell my parents about your sneaking about. Then, I'll slap you.
ReluctantHuman: *raises an eyebrow and grins*
SpiritGun: Shut up, Kurama. I'll go. If only to save me a sore face.
Ukimura: Good boy.
ReluctantHuman: What say we meet in the park in two days?
Ukimura: Sounds good.
SpiritGun: *glares at Keiko* I'm there.
(Ukimura has logged off.)
(SpiritGun has logged off.)
Kurama closed the message window and opened the Internet. If Hiei was when he thought he was, all hell was about to break loose.
---------------------------------
(Ivy Raine and Hiei break apart, both sweaty and bruised.)
Hiei: Nice fight, human.
Ivy Raine: I could say the same. Demon.
Allyna: Stop it, both of you.
Hiei and Ivy Raine: We were only playing!
Allyna: Well, it didn't look at it.
Ivy Raine: Stop worrying, Quinneke. Everything's going to turn out all right.
Hiei: *rolls eyes*
Allyna: I hope so. Otherwise, I'm going to have Hiei kick your butt.
Kurama: Hello, Ivy Raine.
Ivy Raine: Kurama!!!
(Ivy Raine runs over to glomp Kurama.)
Ivy Raine: You were so mature in this last chapter.
Kurama: *blush*
Hiei: Damn! And I thought I was the popular one here.
Ivy Raine: Don't hate. Congratulate.
Michelle: Ivy, you need a life.
Ivy Raine: Michelle!!! Yea! You're finally here!
Michelle: Sorry I'm late. My mum made me do my homework first.
Ivy Raine: I apologize for not introducing myself earlier. I'm Ivy Raine, the authoress. Well, one of my friends is helping me. *looks around* Apparently, she's not here. I'll see if she shows up any time soon. *looks thoughtful* You know something. I hate disclaimers.
