Chapter Three: No Hope
"Why?" Hiei asked, a little curiously. Kutso turned around quickly. "I have said to much. Please, go away." She made it sound more like a command than a question. "Hn." Hiei flitted away. Now that he was gone, Kutso sat down and let a few invisible tears slide by. Then, slowly, after a while she got up and walked away from the balcony. She passed her hand over her slightly red eyes and the red tint disappeared. "I have that much to thank you for, father." She murmured slightly. "Dang! I am getting WAY too sentimental! First a blabber practically everything to someone I don't even know, and then I almost cry! I hate that spell. It makes me not be able to cry but still get the effects from it. Augh, if I wasn't smart enough I'd probably bang my head against the wall a few hundred times." Kutso muttered to herself all the way to her room. She slipped the gold key into the red crafted handle and smiled while she heard it click. Then she walked in to a pitch black room.
"Light, light. Where's the stupid switch?! Oh, there it is." Kutso flicked on a light switch by the now-closed door and almost flinched at the sight of her room. It was a beautiful room, fairly big with one large king- sized bed with red silky covers with a black dragon design on them. The walls themselves were made out of wood and carved with designs of dragons and even painted ones here and there. There was one large window with soft black velvet curtains and a small kitchen with marble tops on the counters. The table itself was wood burned to a crisp black and seemed to be made out of ashes. There was one picture above the bed of a red dragon and some sort of light wolf/fox thing. They looked happy, chasing after each other. In the picture it seemed like they were playing tag. Kutso smiled sadly and walked over to a dresser that also seemed to be made of ashes. "It seems like they loved cleaning this room." Kutso muttered to herself as she took out a small pure white dagger with "Koko miko agiate." carved into it. There was also a small ruby in it under the words. Kutso shook her head. "Koko miko agiate. We were idiots. Kikios. We'll never meet again." She frowned and tucked the dagger into her belt as she closed the drawer. Then she walked out of the room, careful to lock the velvet-covered door behind her.
"I don't know if we should trust her. I mean, she almost killed Hiei." Yuskue commented. "And that's bad?" Kuwabara muttered. Hiei glared at him, and jumped out of the window. "I do not know if we should trust her, but for now I'd have to say we can." Kurama replied. "As long as they have room service." Yuskue said as he plopped down on the black velvet bed. "I say we get some sleep!" Kuwabara jumped onto the bed. It swished around. "Hey, it's a water bed!" Both Yuskue and Kuwabara exclaimed as they jumped on it again. Kurama chuckled and slipped out. "Better leave them. Who knows what they'll do next." He sighed as he walked over to the elevators.
"Murray! Eki! Aki! Tsuki! Everyone else! Feed time!" Kutso giggled as all of the fish swam up to her. She pat one of them. It was a bright, bright gold and the fish right by it was a very deep silver. Two others, an emerald green one and a fluorescent purple one nipped at her fingers. "Okay, okay! Here." She grabbed some sort of tray nearby that held something that looked like pieces of some sort of fruit. She sprinkled it across the water, and, surprisingly, it floated. The fish went right for it. "Now now, Lilia, don't bully the others!" A dull yellow-colored fish dropped out and swam under the wall. Soon all of the fish were swimming around now that the food was gone. She heard someone walk up behind her. She stood up and turned around. "Can't sleep, or are the others keeping you awake?" She asked as soon as she saw that it was Kurama. "The others, I guess. This is a beautiful hotel. Is it yours?" Kurama asked. "Well, not mine. It's my sister's, but she's." Kutso trailed off. "Dead?" Kurama filled in. "No, not truly dead, but locked up. Trapped. Stuck somewhere in an alternate reality. Sometimes I can contact her, but usually I can't." Kutso smiled faintly. "She'd like you." Kurama looked startled at this, then regained calm. "Well, goodnight." "Goodnight." Kurama started to walk away, then looked back to see Kutso standing over the little pool. "Aren't you coming?" He asked. Kutso looked up. "No. Not right now." She replied. He turned around and walked away. Kutso bent over the pool.
[P.G., Can you hear me?] Kutso concentrated real hard. [Loud and clear, D.G. Hey, who was that cute boy you were just talking to?] Kutso almost sighed in relief that her sister could 'speak' to her. [He was Kurama. I heard you'd be coming back tomorrow. You prepared?] [Yeah. Especially if Cute Guy is there! I'll be wearing my S.M. outfit. K? Roger.] [Okay. I'll wear my normal outfit. Roger.] [Okay. Also, I heard that even when I'm out I can go back to the little alternate reality and bring two people along with me. All in all up to 12 peeps can be in there. It's cool here! Better than were I probably will go when I die.] [Okay, miss Chatter Box. Hey, listen, when you come, act like yourself. Do not act sane! Do you copy?] [Yep. Listen, here there's a house with rooms like my hotel's best and COMPUTERS! I can chat with people from where you are!] [WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT! I COULD HAVE CHATTED WITH YOU! DON'T YOU REMEMBER THERE IS A COMPUTER IN OUR SECRET ROOM?!?!?!] [Oh yeah. Ehehehe. See you tomorrow!] Her sister shut off the connection. Kutso stomped angrily up to her room, unlocked the door, relocked it, turned the lights on, opened the door to the balcony and jumped into a tree.
"THE STUPID IDIOT! Okay, I am angry. What should I do when I'm angry. Cut down a large tree. Seems reasonable." Kutso told herself. [What are you, talking to yourself again D.G.?] She heard her sister say. "Sorry, Kutso Kosimura is not here right now, please leave a message after the beep. Beep." Kutso grumbled as she found a towering tree a ways from the hotel so no one would hear it fall. [Kutso, see ya tomorrow. I can't wait to see you! It's been so long! 3 years are long to you, aren't they?] [Yeah. Now let me cut down this tree.] Kutso replied, taking out her red katana. She smirked and the blade was surrounded in black and red flames that circled each other. She ran towards the tree and let all her rage and fury fly on it. In seconds the whole thing was ash. She smirked and put away her sword. [Kutso! What did I tell you to do after you burn a tree up.?] [Okay, okay!] "A dead thing can help a live thing live." Kutso frowned and grabbed a handful of ashes. She found a small little tree and smiled as she added the ashes to the soil around it. She took the rest of the ashes and threw them onto the ground by a rosebush. She then took a pouch from one of her belt compartments and opened it. Inside it was a reddish pink powder. She grabbed some and threw it at the ashes around the rosebush. They instantly sunk into the ground and the rosebush grew about a foot taller. She did the same with the small tree, then put the pouch back and went back to the hotel.
"Wake up! Today's reincarnation day!" Kutso smiled as she poked Yuskue. "Just 5 more minutes." He mumbled. She had already found Hiei on the windowsill. She decided to wake him up. "Hey! Mr. Sword Guy! Sun's up!" She poked Hiei. He muttered something and opened an eye. Then he grabbed his sword and took a slash at Kutso. She jumped and grabbed the sword and yanked it out of his hands. "Nope. Not in my hotel. Here there is no bloodshed, according to my sis. Hehe. We kicked butt when there was a riot in here." She threw Hiei his sword and he sheathed it. "Hn." Then he flitted away. "Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo!" She said in a singsong voice as she pulled the covers off the bed with one good yank and turned the T.V. on and the volume on high. Kurama woke up and carefully got out of the bed. "How'd you get in here?" "Well, I AM the co- owner of the hotel." She whispered back and pushed the others off the bed. They woke up. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Yuskue shouted. Kutso grinned and turned off the T.V. "It's reincarnation day, and it's 7:00! Breakfast's on and the reincarnation time is 7:20." She explained, swiftly making the bed and tidying up the room. Yuskue and Kuwabara were already out the door at the mention of breakfast. "Why are you cleaning the room up?" Kurama asked. "Well, it isn't really dirty, it's a habit. When me and my sis first started the hotel, only me and a couple of so-called friends were the only maids. It was real cheap to by this big 'ole castle. Go onto breakfast, please." She ushered him out of the room and closed the door. A very confused Kurama walked downstairs.
"Lessee. Where are they. Here they are! Her blue rose choker, her gold bridle, her 'Godhand' as she calls it." Kutso grabbed a few items, including some sort of golden mechanical claw with different compartments. "Hehe. What an FFX lover. It's even worse now that they came out with FFX- 2. Bet she has a Playstation 2 up there and that game. Oh no. I'd hate to see her room." Kutso chuckled as she grabbed up all the stuff, put them in a small, hot-pink bookbag and literally waltzed away. She was fully Kutso right now, not Death or The Shadow. And she was going to make sure a few certain people new that.
"Can we go now?" Hiei was becoming impatient. Just then Kutso ran down the stairs. "Okey-Dokey! Let's go!" Kutso grinned and started for the door. She was not in her usual outfit, but in a tight-fitting bloodred halter-top with a long flashy red skort that had an embroidery of a black dragon with ruby eyes in the lower left corner. She had dark red lipstick on and soft red eyeshadow with black leather knee-high boots that split halfway down. Her sword was replaced with a small dagger that you saw earlier in this chapter. She also had her black hair curled and it waved, barely brushing the top of her tanned shoulders. "What are you staring at? Come on peoples! Let's go and get that resurrected demon!" She laughed and opened the doors. Hiei and Kurama were fairly stunned, along with the other two humans. "Are you just going to stand there all day, or will I have to drag you?" She put her hands on her hips and pretended to look angry with a tapping foot and a frown barely hiding a smile. They all snapped out of their trances and started following her. "Yay! You moved! Come on now, or we'll be late!" Kutso giggled and ran through the doors. Hiei 'hned'. "Okay, who kidnapped Kutso and brought this chick here?" Yuskue whispered, just loud enough for the boys to hear. Kurama and Kuwabara chuckled quietly while Yuskue grinned. Hiei ignored them. "Come on you turtles! We're almost there!" Kutso yelled back to them. She was a few yards away from the others. "Baka onna." Hiei muttered. Just then a large silvery beam shot out from the sky and nearly hit Kutso. [WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, KILL ME?!?!?!] [Sorry!] Kutso grinned and bounced away from the beam. "Lessee. Right about. now."
As she said now, the beam exploded and silvery light was cast everywhere, blinding everyone. Just as soon as the light came it disappeared and where the beam once was there stood a girl. She had long blonde hair that grew almost like a mane down her neck that had two long braids with a few beads down both sides of her face that was held back by a blue bandana. She had wild green cat-like eyes and she wore a yellow bikini with a very short tan skirt that had a yellow belt with a few bags on it along with ankle-high silver boots that changed to blue when the got more towards her knee. She also had two maroon gloves and long white sleeves with five white bows on them that weren't attached to the bikini top. When she grinned mischievously you could see two long vampire-like fangs sticking out of her mouth, and she had some sort of small bat body crystal embedded in her skin on her neck. All in all, she looked unusual. "Hey sis!" She smiled at Kutso happily.
"Hi!" The girl responded. The others gaped. "You mean. you two are. sisters?" Yuskue managed to say. "Yeah. Been locked up in an alternate reality for three years. It's nice to finally be here in the real world." The other girl said. "Hey, this is Lily. Lily, this is-" "Oh, Kutso, you know I can see everything from in that reality!" "Oh yeah." Kutso grinned and handed Lily the little pink bookbag/purse thing and she instantly got out the blue rose choker and put it on. "What are we supposed to do now?" Kurama wondered aloud. "I don't know. Go back to my hotel?" Lily suggested. "I'll contact Botan." Yuskue announced as he took out the little pink mirror. "Lessee. Kurama, Hiei, Yuskue, Kuwabara, Botan, Koenma, George, Keiko, Yukina, Kutso, Me, Sandy- Wait, where is Sandy Kutso?" "Hmm. I don't know. Somewhere in the Makai. Should I send Spike to get her?" Kutso suggested. "Okeis!" "SPIKE!"
Lily flinched and the others stared at Kutso. Suddenly a small red dragon flew down and landed on Kutso's shoulder. It had large amber eyes and long black claws. "What do you want Milady?" It asked in a deep voice. Kurama and Hiei raised their eyebrows while the other boys gaped. "Go find Sandy and tell her to come back home." Kutso and Lily chorused. "Whatever you want miladies." It answered in the same deep voice and shot off it to the sky with a small puff of fire. "O-kay." Yuskue shrugged as Botan appeared on the screen. "Did you kill the demon already?" They heard Botan ask, surprised. "It seems that she's Kutso's sister." Yuskue replied. Yuskue could see Botan faint, while the others simply heard a loud thud. Yuskue sweatdropped.
"Where are you guys going?" Kuwabara asked dumbly as the others headed for the hotel. "Hn. Baka." Hiei muttered. "What'd you say shrimp?!" Kuwabara shouted. "He called you a baka." Kutso replied. "Why you-" Kuwabara started but Kutso and Lisa interrupted him. "It's better to not speak at all and be thought a fool rather than speak and be known as a fool." They chorused. "Not that everyone knows you already are a fool." Kutso added as the whole group burst out laughing. Even Hiei and Kurama were chuckling. Kuwabara shut up, but glared at Hiei and Kutso. Suddenly Yuskue's communication mirror 'rang'. Yuskue snorted and opened it. "Yuskue! Watch Kutso and the other girl! They are able to split up their emotions, and Anger could take over!" Botan whispered hurriedly before shutting off. "O-kay." Yuskue commented as he put the mirror away.
'Kutso, remember how you're foster dad would hit you? Remember how good it felt to feel his blood running down your hands instead of the other way around? Wouldn't you like to feel that feeling again?' Kutso heard one of her emotions, Anger, say in her mind. She ignored it and kept on walking, although it was becoming difficult to resist giving in. The same thing was happening to Lily. 'Don't you remember how good it felt to taste blood? How great it was to smash those puny weaklings under your hooves? Don't you want to do that again?' Lily heard her Anger say. The difficulty increased and soon Kutso and Lily stopped and leaned against a tree. Lily screwed her eyes shut while Kutso put one hand over an eye. 'Wasn't it great to slice down those weaklings with your sword? How good it felt when you burnt the foster parents? When you heard the screams and watched as they died?' Kutso slumped against the tree. 'Come on Lily! Wasn't it fun to join your sister in killing your father? How fun it was to be able to show him what pain was? How good it felt to sink your teeth into your foster mother's neck and suck the life away from her?' Lily clenched her teeth together. "Go. Anger's. Taking over. Get away. Quickly." She panted. "Run! Anger's taking me over. I'll kill you. If you don't. Go now. She'll kill you." "Call Spike. and Sandy. Use this." Lily slipped her hand in her pocket and threw out a black chain with a ruby on it. Her eyes flashed red.
"Go!" Kutso shouted as her eyes flashed black and her fangs grew longer. The others were staring at her. Hiei took off his bandana and probed their minds. This is what he found. 'Come on Kutso, you know you want to feel blood on your hands one more time!' Anger hissed in Kutso's mind. 'Lily, wasn't it just the greatest to trample those puny humans?' He found in Lily's mind. Hiei shook his head in disgrace as he put the bandanna back on. "Even her split emotions find some way to be cheerful." He muttered. Kurama had picked up the chain. "Uh. Spike? Sandy?" He said. Suddenly the dragon came flying back. "Why has milady given you the chain of Dragons?" He asked quickly. Then he turned around and gasped. "SANDY!" He roared. The ground shook slightly and suddenly a blur ran towards them. Then it stumbled and the blur rolled into a tree. "Ouchies."
The blur was actually a girl. She had sandy blonde hair and blue cat eyes with long claws and cat teeth. She also had a long cat tail and she wore a simple blue tube top and blue jeans. She had long red leather boots and wore some sort of blue necklace with a sapphire. Also, she had a black belt with loops that were each filled up with multicolored mini-scythes. "Sandy! Kutso and Lily!" Spike urged. Sandy jumped up, ran over to the girls, and fumbled to get two necklaces out of her pocket. Right now Lily had completely red eyes and was sprouting two black horse ears and growing black feathery wings and claws while Kutso had longer fangs, completely black eyes, and was sprouting red dragon wings and growing claws also. Sandy brought out two pure white necklaces with diamonds on them and some sort of language engraved on them. She put them on the two and they instantly closed their eyes while all of the new body parts disappeared.
"Thankies!" "Sandy! How are you?" Kutso commented as they walked back to the hotel. "I'm fine. Who are these fine men?" Kutso stifled a giggle while Kutso straight-out laughed. "This is Yuskue, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara." Sandy eyed Kurama, Hiei, and Yuskue wearily while she simply smiled at Kuwabara. "Well hello there you handsome boys! Oh! I am Sandarina Co' Lescaleca De Rinando Florinda. My real name is too long, so please just call me Sandy." Everyone except Lily stared. "Woah Sandy, I didn't know you had such a long name!" Kutso exclaimed. "That's why we call her Sandy." Lily commented. "Do you like cats?' Kuwabara asked curiously. "Yes! I am half cat demon. You like cats too?" "Her we go." Kutso groaned. She grabbed Sandy and started dragging her to the hotel. "Have you heard of the Abyssinian cat? That's what breed I am!" "Abyssinians? Those are so cool! They're from Egypt, aren't they?" The conversation went on until Hiei knocked Kuwabara out and dragged him and when Sandy started whining about how she couldn't talk about cats anymore Kutso knocked her out. Then they arrived at the hotel.
"So, want some popcorn?" Lily asked as they watched a movie in Kutso's room on the big screen T.V. Kutso sat in the corner, sulking because there were other people in her room and Hiei was on the windowsill. Lily sat between Kurama and Yuskue while Sandy and Kuwabara sat next to each other away from the T.V., talking about cats. Suddenly Yuskue's mirror rang. "Yeah?" He said as he opened it. Botan was there. "Yuskue, bring everyone back here to the Spirit World, Pronto!" Then she clicked off. "Okay, who knows the fastest way to get to the spirit world?" Sandy jumped up and grabbed a blue scythe with a white blade from her belt. "Ooh! ME!" The scythe lengthened until it was as long as her then it stopped. "Okay, how?" Kurama asked. "Like this!" She took the scythe and brought it down with lightning speed, slashing it through the air. It made a sound like a big explosion and made a bright light flash through the room, blinding everyone. No one except for Sandy, Lily, and Kutso were prepared for what they saw.

[What are you, talking to yourself again D.G.?] She heard her sister say. "Sorry, Kutso Kosimura is not here right now, please leave a message after the beep. Beep."

[WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, KILL ME?!?!?!] [Sorry!] Kutso grinned and bounced away from the beam. "Lessee. Right about. now."
As she said now, the beam exploded and silvery light was cast everywhere, blinding everyone. Just as soon as the light came it disappeared and where the beam once was there stood a girl. She had long blonde hair that grew almost like a mane down her neck that had two long braids with a few beads down both sides of her face that was held back by a blue bandana. She had wild green cat-like eyes and she wore a yellow bikini with a very short tan skirt that had a yellow belt with a few bags on it along with ankle-high silver boots that changed to blue when the got more towards her knee. She also had two maroon gloves and long white sleeves with five white bows on them that weren't attached to the bikini top. When she grinned mischievously you could see two long vampire-like fangs sticking out of her mouth, and she had some sort of small bat body crystal embedded in her skin on her neck. All in all, she looked unusual. "Hey sis!" She smiled at Kutso happily.
"Hi!" The girl responded. The others gaped. "You mean. you two are. sisters?" Yuskue managed to say. "Yeah. Been locked up in an alternate reality for three years. It's nice to finally be here in the real world." The other girl said. "Hey, this is Lily. Lily, this is-" "Oh, Kutso, you know I can see everything from in that reality!" "Oh yeah." Kutso grinned and handed Lily the little pink bookbag/purse thing and she instantly got out the blue rose choker and put it on. "What are we supposed to do now?" Kurama wondered aloud. "I don't know. Go back to my hotel?" Lily suggested. "I'll contact Botan." Yuskue announced as he took out the little pink mirror. "Lessee. Kurama, Hiei, Yuskue, Kuwabara, Botan, Koenma, George, Keiko, Yukina, Kutso, Me, Sandy- Wait, where is Sandy Kutso?" "Hmm. I don't know. Somewhere in the Makai. Should I send Spike to get her?" Kutso suggested. "Okeis!" "SPIKE!"
Lily flinched and the others stared at Kutso. Suddenly a small red dragon flew down and landed on Kutso's shoulder. It had large amber eyes and long black claws. "What do you want Milady?" It asked in a deep voice. Kurama and Hiei raised their eyebrows while the other boys gaped. "Go find Sandy and tell her to come back home." Kutso and Lily chorused. "Whatever you want miladies." It answered in the same deep voice and shot off it to the sky with a small puff of fire. "O-kay." Yuskue shrugged as Botan appeared on the screen. "Did you kill the demon already?" They heard Botan ask, surprised. "It seems that she's Kutso's sister." Yuskue replied. Yuskue could see Botan faint, while the others simply heard a loud thud. Yuskue sweatdropped.
"Where are you guys going?" Kuwabara asked dumbly as the others headed for the hotel. "Hn. Baka." Hiei muttered. "What'd you say shrimp?!" Kuwabara shouted. "He called you a baka." Kutso replied. "Why you-" Kuwabara started but Kutso and Lisa interrupted him. "It's better to not speak at all and be thought a fool rather than speak and be known as a fool." They chorused. "Not that everyone knows you already are a fool." Kutso added as the whole group burst out laughing. Even Hiei and Kurama were chuckling. Kuwabara shut up, but glared at Hiei and Kutso. Suddenly Yuskue's communication mirror 'rang'. Yuskue snorted and opened it. "Yuskue! Watch Kutso and the other girl! They are able to split up their emotions, and Anger could take over!" Botan whispered hurriedly before shutting off. "O-kay." Yuskue commented as he put the mirror away.
'Kutso, remember how you're foster dad would hit you? Remember how good it felt to feel his blood running down your hands instead of the other way around? Wouldn't you like to feel that feeling again?' Kutso heard one of her emotions, Anger, say in her mind. She ignored it and kept on walking, although it was becoming difficult to resist giving in. The same thing was happening to Lily. 'Don't you remember how good it felt to taste blood? How great it was to smash those puny weaklings under your hooves? Don't you want to do that again?' Lily heard her Anger say. The difficulty increased and soon Kutso and Lily stopped and leaned against a tree. Lily screwed her eyes shut while Kutso put one hand over an eye. 'Wasn't it great to slice down those weaklings with your sword? How good it felt when you burnt the foster parents? When you heard the screams and watched as they died?' Kutso slumped against the tree. 'Come on Lily! Wasn't it fun to join your sister in killing your father? How fun it was to be able to show him what pain was? How good it felt to sink your teeth into your foster mother's neck and suck the life away from her?' Lily clenched her teeth together. "Go. Anger's. Taking over. Get away. Quickly." She panted. "Run! Anger's taking me over. I'll kill you. If you don't. Go now. She'll kill you." "Call Spike. and Sandy. Use this." Lily slipped her hand in her pocket and threw out a black chain with a ruby on it. Her eyes flashed red.
"Go!" Kutso shouted as her eyes flashed black and her fangs grew longer. The others were staring at her. Hiei took off his bandana and probed their minds. This is what he found. 'Come on Kutso, you know you want to feel blood on your hands one more time!' Anger hissed in Kutso's mind. 'Lily, wasn't it just the greatest to trample those puny humans?' He found in Lily's mind. Hiei shook his head in disgrace as he put the bandanna back on. "Even her split emotions find some way to be cheerful." He muttered. Kurama had picked up the chain. "Uh. Spike? Sandy?" He said. Suddenly the dragon came flying back. "Why has milady given you the chain of Dragons?" He asked quickly. Then he turned around and gasped. "SANDY!" He roared. The ground shook slightly and suddenly a blur ran towards them. Then it stumbled and the blur rolled into a tree. "Ouchies."
The blur was actually a girl. She had sandy blonde hair and blue cat eyes with long claws and cat teeth. She also had a long cat tail and she wore a simple blue tube top and blue jeans. She had long red leather boots and wore some sort of blue necklace with a sapphire. Also, she had a black belt with loops that were each filled up with multicolored mini-scythes. "Sandy! Kutso and Lily!" Spike urged. Sandy jumped up, ran over to the girls, and fumbled to get two necklaces out of her pocket. Right now Lily had completely red eyes and was sprouting two black horse ears and growing black feathery wings and claws while Kutso had longer fangs, completely black eyes, and was sprouting red dragon wings and growing claws also. Sandy brought out two pure white necklaces with diamonds on them and some sort of language engraved on them. She put them on the two and they instantly closed their eyes while all of the new body parts disappeared.
"Thankies!" "Sandy! How are you?" Kutso commented as they walked back to the hotel. "I'm fine. Who are these fine men?" Kutso stifled a giggle while Kutso straight-out laughed. "This is Yuskue, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara." Sandy eyed Kurama, Hiei, and Yuskue wearily while she simply smiled at Kuwabara. "Well hello there you handsome boys! Oh! I am Sandarina Co' Lescaleca De Rinando Florinda. My real name is too long, so please just call me Sandy." Everyone except Lily stared. "Woah Sandy, I didn't know you had such a long name!" Kutso exclaimed. "That's why we call her Sandy." Lily commented. "Do you like cats?' Kuwabara asked curiously. "Yes! I am half cat demon. You like cats too?" "Her we go." Kutso groaned. She grabbed Sandy and started dragging her to the hotel. "Have you heard of the Abyssinian cat? That's what breed I am!" "Abyssinians? Those are so cool! They're from Egypt, aren't they?" The conversation went on until Hiei knocked Kuwabara out and dragged him and when Sandy started whining about how she couldn't talk about cats anymore Kutso knocked her out. Then they arrived at the hotel.
"So, want some popcorn?" Lily asked as they watched a movie in Kutso's room on the big screen T.V. Kutso sat in the corner, sulking because there were other people in her room and Hiei was on the windowsill. Lily sat between Kurama and Yuskue while Sandy and Kuwabara sat next to each other away from the T.V., talking about cats. Suddenly Yuskue's mirror rang. "Yeah?" He said as he opened it. Botan was there. "Yuskue, bring everyone back here to the Spirit World, Pronto!" Then she clicked off. "Okay, who knows the fastest way to get to the spirit world?" Sandy jumped up and grabbed a blue scythe with a white blade from her belt. "Ooh! ME!" The scythe lengthened until it was as long as her then it stopped. "Okay, how?" Kurama asked. "Like this!" She took the scythe and brought it down with lightning speed, slashing it through the air. It made a sound like a big explosion and made a bright light flash through the room, blinding everyone. No one except for Sandy, Lily, and Kutso were prepared for what they saw.
