Author's Notes- Sorry that the 3rd chapter was so short!!! My brain wasn't working. To tell the truth, I'm not really sure if it's ever completely working. Oh, well. Hope you enjoy this chapter. Thanks to all the reviewers!!! Oh, and just because the chapter title has the word "love" in it, doesn't mean that the chapter will have romance. *sob* Though, I want it to. The next chapter will, I promise!!!

All is Fair in Love, War, and Snowball Fights

(4th chapter)

"Suki!!! Open the door already!!!" Ryo yelled at the bathroom door.

"But I'm not done doing my hair!!!" came the muffled response.

"YOU'RE DOING YOUR HAIR?!?!?!?!?! Ya know, some of us, actually HAVE TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled, hopping on one foot, to the other.

She slammed open the door, glaring at her brother. "I SAID, 'I'M NOT DONE!!!!!!!!!!' I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM. . . WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ryo was suddenly very chibi, "Hai, I can wait." he said in what sounded like a squeak.

"GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said while slamming the door again, as she went back inside.

About an hour later, Suki came out. "I'm done!" she happily said. As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Ryo pushed past her, ran into the bathroom, and closed the door. Suki shrugged and walked into the kitchen. "Hey Daichi!!!" she said, "What's up?"

"You're cheerful this morning." he said, "Who are you? And what did you do my sister?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked glaring at him.

"Oh, nothing. What are you doing today?" he asked, trying to change the subject.

"Maeko, and I, are going to meet those two boys at the café today."

"YOU'RE GOING ON A DOUBLE DATE WITH PEOPLE YOU JUST MET YESTERDAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" he yelled.

"Of course not, baka." Suki replied, "We didn't finish our conversation last night, so we're meeting them today, to finish." She glanced at the clock, which now read 1:49. "And I'm going to be late! Gotta go! Love ya! Can you go to the grocery store today? Oh, and tell Jiro that his book is on the dining room table. And tell Ryo that I'm sorry for taking so long, and I'll make it up to him by letting him use my car tomorrow. And your favorite shirt is in my room, I was going to iron it later. Don't know when I'll be back, so ya don't have to make me dinner. See ya later. Bye!" She said, while putting her coat, gloves, hat, and scarf on, getting the keys, and running out the door. Daichi just stood there, and stared at the door.

15 minutes later, when Suki finally got to the café, she found Maeko waiting outside for her.

"Suki, what took so long?" she asked.

"Sorry, um. . . traffic." She replied, attempting to cover up the fact that she took too long to do her hair.

"You were doing your hair, weren't you?" the older girl asked smirking.

"Yup."

"Come on, those. . . . guys are inside." Maeko said, while leading Suki into the café.

After they found Kurama and Hiei, sat down, and ordered, they finally began to talk. "So, where were we?" Kurama asked.

"You were about to tell Mae-chan and I, why those demons looked like us. I can't believe that you are really demons! I mean, I always thought demons were real, but I never thought that actually I would actually meet one! Or have one look exactly like me!" Suki rambled.

"Yes, the demons do look exactly like the two of you. I would never be able to tell you apart." Kurama said.

While they said this Maeko and Hiei exchanged glares. (ya know, 'cause of their conversation, then Suki saying she can't believe that she met a demon)

"Yup! We're completely identical!" Suki said, "Except for one thing."

"What would that have to be?" Hiei asked, "That the demon couldn't be nearly as foolish, as you?"

Suki just looked at him. "No," she started, "actually I was talking about the necklace. That demon's necklace is the same cross-shape, but the stone in the middle is blue, instead of red." (sorry, I forgot to mention her necklace, it was a gift from her demon mother, but she doesn't know that. It's a choker with a small, silver cross. In the center of the cross, is a small, blood red stone. Maeko has one that's the same, except her stone is black.)

Everyone looked closely at Suki's necklace, then at the picture of the demons, which was on the table in front of them.

"She's right." Hiei muttered.

"Yes. Suki, where did you get that necklace?" Kurama asked.

"I'm not really sure, to tell the truth. I've had it ever since I could remember. Mae-chan has the same one, except the stone is black." she replied.

"Maeko, do you know where you got yours?" Kurama again asked.

" I'm not sure either. So why do they look like us anyway?" she asked, trying to get off the subject, for she actually knew the truth, but wasn't gonna say anything anytime. . . . soon.

"As I told you earlier, I am not sure why they look like you. There are really only three possibilities. One, they are shape-shifters, and have chosen to look like you. Two, the fact that they look like you is really an illusion, to cover up who they really are. And three, you are just lying to us, and that really is you. I hope the last one isn't true, though." Kurama replied. His eyes boring into the two girls. They seemed to be searching the girl's souls for an answer.

Suki caught his eyes. They stared at each other for a few moments, just like they had the previous day. This time though, it was Suki who broke the gaze.

"I swear, we are not the demons. I'm not even a demon at all!" she said, laughing a little.

Hiei smirked at that last reply. "Really?" he muttered, before Maeko kicked him under the table.

"You jackass." she said.

"What did you say?" Hiei asked glaring at her.

"I said 'jackass'." she simply restated.

"You little. . ." the fire demon started.

"Well, now that we have things semi cleared up, let's leave." Kurama cheerfully said, trying to keep the two from fighting.

"But we didn't get out coffee yet." Suki stated.

Kurama shot her a quick glance that read, 'leave, now'.

"But that's okay." She said giving everyone a kawaii little smile.

The four picked up their things and left. As they stepped outside, they noticed a light snow was falling gently from the sky.

"It's snowing!!!" Suki cried, while dancing around in little circles.

Kurama started to laugh, before Suki grabbed his hands, and continued dancing, now with a partner. Maeko just sweat-dropped at the two.

Hiei silently picked up some snow, forming it into a perfect sphere. He smirked, before throwing it at Maeko. It landed right in the center of the back of her head.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR, JACKASS?!?!?!" she yelled.

"For calling me a jackass." he replied simply.

"You are so going to pay for that." She said while forming a snowball.

By now Suki and Kurama had stopped spinning. The kitsune had slowly backed up so he was near the wall, he didn't want to get in the middle of this. Suki, on the other hand, was scooping up snow to make snowballs.

Maeko then threw her snowball at Hiei, hitting him in the forehead. "Revenge!" she cried.

By now Suki's snowball was done. Hiei glared at the blond girl. She grinned at him and threw the snowball at Maeko.

"Bitch!!!" the other girl yelled back, "You're supposed to be on my team!!!"

Suki just smiled innocently. "All is fair in love, war, and snowball fights." she replied.

Hiei just looked at them, before quietly picking up another snowball, this time aiming at Kurama. Suki saw this, but said nothing. 5 seconds later, Kurama had snow dripping from the top of his head.

"Hiei. . ." he muttered, running over with a fist full of snow.

The two boys toppled the other with snow, while the girls. . .well they were using huge icicles as swords, and having a sword fight. You could hear random "take that"s and "got ya"s coming from them.

Suddenly Hiei stopped pelting the kitsune with snow. "Why are we fighting each other?" he asked.

Kurama stopped and looked at him. "What do you mean?" he replied (not much of an answer).

"Baka kitsune." Hiei retorted, "I mean, why are we fighting each other, when there are enemies right there!" He pointed to Maeko and Suki.

Kurama's eyes followed Hiei's finger, seeing the two girls. He chuckled, "They're not enemies."

"They are to me. Especially the one with the black hair." He said, glaring at Maeko.

Kurama shrugged, if Hiei wanted to pelt the girls with snowballs instead if him, fine. The two made massive snowballs and threw them at the "enemies", hitting Maeko in the head (again) and Suki in the stomach. The girls glared at them, then charged at the guys with their "swords".

"YOU BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Maeko yelled while chasing after Hiei.

On the other side, Suki was chasing Kurama, laughing.

Suddenly Maeko stopped chasing Hiei and grabbed Suki's arm. "We have to go, they're not ready to meet us." she quickly said, before dragging Suki away.

About two seconds after Suki and Maeko left, Yusuke and Kuwabara came running around the corner and over to the others.

"Hey!!! Kurama!!! Hiei!!!" Yusuke shouted, before reaching the two demons, "What's up?"

'How'd she know they were coming?' Kurama thought.

Hiei suddenly popped into his mind, 'Simple, she's a demon.'

'Hiei, would you give it up already! They're not demons!!!'

'Yes they are.'

'No.'

'Yes.'

'No.'

'Yes.'

'No.'

'Yes.'

'Would you please just stay out of my mind, Hiei?!?!'

'First there is something you might want to know. I talked with Maeko after she left, last night. She admitted being a demon, and says that Suki is her sister. But, the girl doesn't know yet.'

'Hiei, you're not serious.'

Hiei just nodded in response. He didn't care if Maeko didn't want anyone else to know, why would he? Kurama had a right to know anyway.

"Earth to Kurama." Yusuke said, while waving his hand in front of the kitsune's face. "Do you read me?"

"Hai. I'm sorry about that Yusuke. I was just. . .lost in thought, I suppose." he replied, glancing over at Hiei.

"So did you guys find out anything about the bad guys?" Kuwabara asked, with the idiotic grin he always wears. (Sorry to anyone who actually likes the fool, I don't)

"No, we're still searching." Kurama quickly responded.

Hiei nodded in agreement.

"Damn! I was hoping at least one of us would've found out something by now!" Yusuke muttered.

"Um. . . well since we have established that none of us has found any information, I suppose that this 'meeting' is over. Hiei and I need to be leaving now, anyway." Kurama quickly said before pulling Hiei away, as the two girls had done earlier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maeko and Suki ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We have to go, they're not ready to meet us." Maeko said, while dragging Suki away. As soon as they had run into a small alley, they heard someone shouting, "Hey!!! Kurama!!! Hiei!!! What's up?"

"Mae-chan, what do you think you're doing?" the blond girl asked, while trying to escape the grasp her friend had on her arm.

"Shut up, Suki! They'll hear us!" Maeko whispered, in response.

"Who will hear us?" the younger girl asked, trying to keep her voice in a whisper.

"Someone we don't want to meet." Was the only answer she received.

"Suki, go to your car, and go straight home. Don't stop any where, and don't go past where those guys are. (notice that she only refers to them as "those guys". ^_^U ) I'll see you later. Now go."

Suki did as she was told, though she was completely confused by her friend's directions.

After Suki had left, Maeko also went home. After walking in the door, she went into the kitchen and started to boil water for her favorite meal. . .ramen. After that was done, she went over to the living room, and turned on the TV. There was a Jerry Springer marathon on, which she decided to watch.
