(Authoress Note: Sorry for the last chapter, I know that it probably was a bit confusing and rushed at the end, and also long, but I wanted to get it out that week so that I could finish the fic soon. I'm still thinking if this is going to be the last chapter or not. If it isn't then the last one will be just an epilog. Okay, on with the fic.

Wait before the fic, I have to give out cakes (whole cakes not apiece) to Ryuu Ie Mizishi, I said what I said because my mom's one of those moms who said that you should act your age and not watch cartoons, Also I wanted to say thanks for the confetti I love that stuff. The next person is Meiko M, although I think that you don't need it, being crazy is cool. They should have a national be crazy day. An last but not least animefreak920. There you all go and enjoy the cakes are any flavor or kind that you like. ~secured telepathic message.~ )

Chapter 9: Waking Up

The boys had begun to stir around as the sun began peaking its head above the horizon and stretched its rays to glisten on their faces.

A loud thump followed by a string of cruises.

"What happened?" asked a sleepy pest (Bet you can't guess who?) rubbing his eyes after the cruising stopped (Which took a while). "Wait where are we?" he asked finally getting things into focus. He looked over to the floor at his fallen friend before laughing.

"What's so funny, Kuwabaka?" asked a harsh voice coming from the windowsill.

"Look," he pointed over to Yusuke who was rubbing his butt from when he landed. Apparently, Kuwabara didn't hear what Hiei called him. "Hey, I think I know where we are. We're at my house," he added looking closely at the room that they were in. Of course, ask a stupid question and get a stupid answer in return, Hiei thought to himself.

Hiei was sitting on the windowsill. Kurama was sitting on a chair. Yusuke was still lying on the floor with Puu that just landed on his head. The room was filthy. Popcorn, chips, and other unidentified foods were thrown around everywhere.

"Did you guys have a strange dream?" asked Yusuke staggering slowly back to the couch. The four nodded their head.

"Wait, how do we know that we are in the real world?" asked Kurama.

"Well, let's see if we had our powers back," said Hiei retching for his bandanna with one hand and with the other one making it's way to the hilt of his katana. His eyes grew wide as he realized that his Jagan eye was real, but his katana was missing.

Kurama reached for his rose and found that it was real. Kuwabara called for his spirit sword and four of Yusuke's fingers glowed (Just like in the Dark Tournament when he said that he had three shots left.).

"I guess that we are in the real world," said Yusuke still a little uneasy about where they were. He looked over to Kurama then to Hiei who had the box of ice cream in his arms eating away. He gave a quick confused look before realizing that he did have his powers back.

"Guess so," said Kurama looking to where Yusuke was looking at. They both gave a slight chuckle.

"Hey what's so funny?" asked Kuwabara seeing where Yusuke was pointing. "So, it's just shorty eating ice cream." Kurama and Yusuke looked at each other shaking their heads.

"Never mind," said Yusuke.

"Does anyone know where my katana is?" asked Hiei taking a bit of ice cream.

"Nope," all three of them said together.

"Hiei, it's behind the couch," a voice said coming down the stairs.

Hiei ran quickly and grab his katana and back to where he was siting in less then a second.

"You welcome," the voice said again sarcastic tone. Just behind the voice came five different sets of footsteps. "Oh, hey girls. I didn't think that you were up yet," the voice said cheerfully.

"Hn," Hiei replied going back to his ice cream.

"Hiei, are you serious? Ice cream at this time of day," asked a chipper voice walking to the couch with the other footsteps.

"Hn?!" he replied looking at Botan and then again turned back to his ice cream. "I don't care what time it is. I'll eat when ever I feel like it."

"Hey, how did you get the ice cream? I thought that I locked it up, so you can't find it or break it," asked Kat staring at the fire 'child'. She was wearing a black long sleeve shirt that was somewhat tight with a rip going from her elbow to the end of the sleeves and another one that was a v shaped on the neck. That said in white and sparkle lettering 'Attitude is… knowing you have one, liking it, and not caring what anyone else thinks.' (It's my fave shirt.) She had tight dark blue pants and black high heel boots on. The others wore what they normal always wore.

Hiei didn't reply to her question and again continued eating his ice cream. She did hear some mumbling coming form him, but she just ignored him.

~Kurama?~

~Huh?~

~Does the boys suspect any thing yet?~

~Nope, I don't think so. They just figured out where they are and that they have their powers,~ replied Kurama.

"Did you guys have a strange dream too?" asked Yukina sitting next to Katsumi on the couch. Botan, Keiko and Shizuru followed and sat on the other couch. While Puu flew over to Keiko.

The boys all nodded.

"So, do we know what in the world it was, or where we were?" asked Keiko. Everyone nodded in confusion.

"Okay, well, let's see. We were in an insane asylum with out any powers for what? A week almost. Any ways we were at our rooms going to bed for the night right? And when we woke up we were here." Kat stopped to look at the group before continuing. "So, who or what ever was doing this thought that it was accomplished." Kuwabara seemed that he had no clue what she was saying and was just staring at Yukina.

"Yeah," said Kurama.

"Hey, where is pacifier breath?" asked Yusuke looking around the room.

"I don't know," Kat replied giving an innocent smile accompany with a slight chuckle and rubbing the back of her head.

"I wonder if what we were experiencing was just a dream. I mean look this place is a mess, and we were all just were lying around here," said Kurama.

"Yeah, but the girls," said Kuwabara.

"Wow, I didn't even think that you was paying attention," joked Katsumi. "Well, us girls went to sleep after you all conked out, we decided to got to bed as well," she continued not letting Kuwabara to protest.

"You girls know what happened before we was in the asylum?" asked Hiei somewhat jumpy.

"Yes, don't you?" asked Yukina confused.

"Nope," replied Hiei jumping up almost dropping his ice cream.

"No, I guess that you wouldn't. You five were drinking too much to remember anything," chuckled Botan.

"Us five. There are only four of us. Who was the fifth one?" asked Kuwabara dumbfounded. The group looked at him like he was an idiot and fell over. (Of course, he is one, but you know I just can't believe that there is someone that stupid. Okay I'll stop talking now.)

"Is he for real?" asked Katsumi to Yusuke. Yusuke nodded and gave an 'ah-huh'. "I knew that he was stupid, but I didn't think that he was that stupid."

"Kuwabara, the fifth person, if you don't remember, was Koenma," said Yukina like she was talking to a child who didn't understand something.

"Oh, now I remember. Where is he?" After hearing this, everyone again fell over.

"You Baka. We don't know where he is," snapped Hiei.

"Wait, I think that he went back to the Spirit World after we fell asleep," explained Keiko.

"Yeah, you right," agreed Botan. ~What is your mom going to do to him?~ Botan asked Katsumi in her head.

~I don't know. Maybe, play around with his mind some more. She did take him back to his office after we left. So, she could be doing what we are doing now to the boys,~ replied Katsumi giving Botan a quick glance.

"What are you two talking about?" asked Hiei looking at the two with a glare.

"What are you talking about Hiei? They didn't say anything," said Yusuke giving Hiei an odd glare.

"I think that he had too much ice cream," said Katsumi.

"No, I didn't," snapped the fire demon grabbing the ice cream and hold it closer. "And I know that they were talking telepathically," he added.

"Is that true?" asked Yusuke.

"No, I don't have that power," Katsumi said quickly.

~Are you sure you don't want to tell the truth?~ a voice snarled in her head.

"Hiei, get out of my head," Katsumi growled back causing him and everyone else to jump. "You don't have any right to go inside my head."

"I think someone is a little bit sensitive," said Hiei. She gave a small laugh and pointed to her shirt.

"It's not sensitive, it's attitude," she corrected.

"Okay, changing subject again. And back to who might have messed with our dreams or something like that," interrupted Yusuke.

"Could you guys have any enemies or anybody out to get you?" asked Katsumi.

"That's a stupid question. The whole demon world is after us," said Yusuke.

"Okay, does any of them have telepathic abilities?" asked Shizuru.

"Well, almost all of them does," replied Kurama.

This question and answering went on for a while so Katsumi didn't want them to get too close so she gave them a quick new enemy with everything that they were describing about the demon.

"I have it. The demon is Feiku," said Kurama. (Do you like his name it has two meanings? One, in Japanese (I think) it means fake, see he is a fake demon, and the second is that since his name means fake, his power is to make people believe in stuff that is fake. Hehehe.)

"Who's that?" asked Kuwabara.

"He's that dude that we fought a while back," said Yusuke.

"Which dude?" said Hiei.

"Botan, do you know what he is talking about?" asked Kurama.

"Yes, he's the one that made you believe that you worst dream came true," explained Botan giving a sight.

"Well, now that we know, do you think that we should tell, the pacifier breath?" asked Yusuke.

"Sure," replied Botan making an oar appear and so did Katsumi. "Are we going to go?"

"Okay," Hiei said jumping up.

"Where am I? What happened?" asked a confused voice.

"Sir, you're up. Are you feeling all right?" asked a blue ogar thing.

"Yes, I am all right. What happened? I had a wired dream," said Koenma. "At lease I think that it was a dream." He reached for his pacifier and sure enough, it was there.

"Well, sir, you disappeared for a few hours, and I didn't know where you went."

"Koenma, it's so nice to see you again," a cheery voice said walking through the door.

"Aye, yes, it is nice to see you again, Leila," Koenma said lifting his head to see the visitor. "What brings you here?" he asked with suspicion.

"Huh, I'm hurt, Koenma. I can't visit my favorite leader just to say hi?" she said sad. She took a bit out of an apple that she had in her hand.

"Well, normally you just come here to torture me, or you want something," he replied.

"Come on, now, Koenma. Do you really think after all of these years of not talking that I just show up for something?" she cooed. "I came to say hi, and I wanted to see how you were doing?" She walked over toward his desk, threw her apple up in the air before it fell back down it disappeared, and then she sat on one of the corners of the desk.

"I'm fine. What's going on here, Leila? I know for a fact that you are not here just to say hi. No, there is something more than that. Am I right?" he questioned knowing that she was lying.

"I think that I am just going to leave," she said giving him a puppy dog, well cat, face before turning toward the door.

"Wait, Leila, before you go. You know all of the demons that have your kinds of power, right?" he asked her as she was about to walk to the door. She gave herself a small smirk before turning toward him.

"Why would you like to know, Koe (Her little nickname for him)?" she responded with confusion.

"Wow, I haven't heard that name since I was trying to capture you," he snickered. "Any ways I was wondering, because someone had sent me and my team to an alternate reality, well I think, and I wondered if you can help me figure out whom did it," he continued.

"Yo, pacifier breath? We think we knew who sent us," yelled someone followed by eight other people.

"Yusuke, nice to meet you," a taller version of Katsumi said to the voice extended out her hand.

"Who are you?" he said examining the cat.

"I'm Leila, Katsumi's mother," she replied. "Hi, Hunny, Kurama, Hiei, Kuwabara, Keiko, Yukina, Shizuru, and Botan," she said as each one of them came in. "Oh, yes, and I can't forget about you," she added looking at the little blue thing on Yusuke's head. "Hi, Puu." She petted him on the head, and he let out a small puu.

They all introduced themselves and settled down.

"So, you were saying that you know who did it?" questioned Koenma.

"Yeap, it's Foku," replied Kuwabara.

"No, you big oaf. It's Feiku," explained Hiei. Kuwabara tried to chase Hiei around but that proved useless. Yusuke had tripped Kuwabara, and he fell flat on his face causing him to become unconscious.

"I know him," lied Leila. "If he is anything like I remember him. Then Koe, he is the one that you would be looking for." Small snickers were heard after the boys heard what she called Koenma. She ignored it and continued, "But don't try and find him, I had a little run in with him a few moments ago, and I don't think that he is going to be able to answer any of your questions," she explained trying to sound believable. She knew about what her daughter did and went along with it. "Well, I just came to meet all of you but now I have to go. Bye." Leila hugged Katsumi and slipped her a small note.

Katsumi quietly read to note 'I would like a copy. Also nice name.' and placed it in her pocket.

~Up,~ she signaled to her mother. (It's their code for putting up their mental shields from out side access.

~Sup,~ her mother replied walking out the door.

~Hiei. But the copies are in the room on top of the screen. Thanks mom, for the cover up. I forgot about the fact that Koenma might want to capture him,~ she laughed in her head.

~You're welcome. Thanks for the copy and don't be out to late.~

~I wont.~ Katsumi looked over at Hiei with a smile. ~What's wrong, shorty? Can't read my mind?~ she sarcastically said in his mind. (She adopted Shorty from Kuwabara, and she thought that it fit him well.)

~Would you like to die?~ he asked her harshly. He shot daggers at her.

~Tisk, tisk, Hiei. I don't think that you want to mess with me,~ she said waving her index finger at him. Hiei notice her tail wave in confidence.

~I think that you have it backwards, Kitty Kat (Like her nickname that Hiei gave her after they woke up?), you don't want to mess with me and also why would I want to read you're mind?~ he snapped.

~Then why are you talking to me telepathicaly?~ she questioned sarcastically.

"Hn," was all he uttered.

"What's up with you, Hiei?" asked Katsumi looking at him oddly. "Is something wrong?"

"I'm going." With that he left leaving everyone, but Katsumi, confused. She watched him leave with a smile and her tail waving fast like she was happy.

~See, you later, Shorty,~ she cooed in his mind. ~Watch out for those psycho kitty chasers,~ she chuckled turning to the desk that everyone was talking around.

Hiei turned back around and ran full speed at Katsumi with his katana drawn. A small grin crept across her face as she sensed him coming. She moved her head back a bit so that the blade just barely landed a cut on her neck. A small cut formed underneath the blade, and a crimson liquid dripped slightly down her neck.

"Hiei, what was that for?" asked Yukina looking at Katsumi and then Hiei who still had his katana raised to her neck.

"Hn, I told you, Kitty Kat, you shouldn't mess with me," he scolded. He dropped his katana then placed it back in its sheath and turned to the door.

"No, I think that you forgot what I told you," she snarled back and gave a low growl. With her eyes closed and her tail swishing back and forth like a cat about to pounce she told him, "Hey, shorty. I think that I would turn around if I was you." The rest of the party watched in confusedness as the two fought.

"Hn?!" He turned around to notice Katsumi's eyes snap open with anger and revenge, and Kuwabara's eyes bulge out, like a little child in a candy store. He knew what was going to happen next. He tried to turn around but was frozen in place.

"Remind me never to mess with her. She's more scary than Keiko, when she's mad," Yusuke whispered to Kurama.

"Yeah, you're right," he replied watching Katsumi toying with Hiei.

"No, no, Shorty, you're not going anywhere. And don't try to use that third eye of yours because it ain't going to work," she warned. Kuwabara began to run toward what he thought was a kitty.

"Not again," sighed Botan.

"Come on, Botan, she's just having fun and besides Hiei needs to be taught a lesson," explained Yusuke watching Kuwabara petting the angry fire demon and tried not to burst out laughing.

"I know, but this one might take longer to stop then before. Also why in the world did this start?" she asked.

"Botan, shut you mouth, it's just between that jerk and me," snapped Katsumi watching in amusement. "I will stop after he says one little phrase."

~Kat, please. Just let Hiei go. You all ready had a chance to hurt him. He knows that you are powerful or even more powerful than he is,~ a soft voice pleaded through her head.

~Yes, Kat. Although I think that this is amusing and all, but you should let him leave,~ another voice said in her head.

"Fine, Hiei, you can leave," she said giving in. Waving her hand, Kuwabara stopped and blinked a couple of times and Hiei dashed out of the room. "DON'T THINK THAT YOU WON THIS TIME," she yelled.

"What happened?" asked Kuwabara looking around trying to figure out why everyone was looking at him from what were amused expressions.

~The copies are in the room that we were. Give the girls a copy, and Kurama if he wants one. Make sure that they never let the boys find it. Well, if they look at it, it'll just be fuzz,~ she said to Botan.

"I'm goin'. I'll talk you guy's later. Oh, Koenma, if you need another person for you team give me a call," she said with a smile.

"Bye, Kat," replied the girls and Kurama.

The rest of the gang didn't say anything, but after a while of silence, they decided to leave. Botan did sneak back into the room that they were in before and grabbed the tapes.

(Authoress Note: Okay, this chapter isn't the last one. There is going to be one very short one and a special chapter dedicated to all of my reviewers. Sorry, too, if this chapter was funky, but it wasn't how I planed this to go. So, that is why I decided to make a revised one that should be posted soon. It will be this same fic but I am going to change a few things around so that it makes more sense and the ending is going to be different. Don't worry this one will still be here, I'm just going to make a 'new' changed fic.)
