A/N: Sorry that this chapter is so short, it just shows an insight on how Leiko/Queenie connects with her friends. The next chapter shows a hint on who's she's afraid of by the way.

I finish off the last of my candy bar and enter Kurama's home. I've been here tons of times, so he doesn't mind me just walking in.

Only Hiei and Kurama are in his room. I snuggle up on Kurama's bed. Hiei is leaning against the wall, and Kurama is getting ready for the project.

"What are you doing here?" I ask. Hiei doesn't even go to our school, or any other one for that matter.

"No reason that involves you." He answers. I return back to the project plans. We have make a solution to three big problems, like for example, one of them is to make a solution on how we save the ocean. We have to make a chart, a model, and a presentation. Fun, no? Sort of like a science fair project.

"You might as well put it away Kurama, we're not going to work on it. Besides, we're way ahead, we don't need to." I tell him. He takes out the papers anyway.

"We might." I snort in disbelief, just at the same time Hiei does, and just as Yusuke enters the room.

"Hey." He says, out of breath, his hair messed up. He sits at the edge of the bed.

"Practicing for track?" I ask, looking at his flushed face. He shook his head, struggling to talk.

"No." he takes a few breaths. "Ran away.from.mom." he finishes, taking in short breaths.

"What did you do this time?" Hiei asks. Just then, Kuwabara entered, and he spotted Yusuke.

"Geez Yusuke, your mother actually chased you for breaking a dish?That's harsh man." he sat down. Yusuke nodded. Hiei smirked, I laughed, Kurama chuckled.

"Why do you have the books out Kurama, we're like completely done with the project." I smirk at what Kuwabara said.

"Told you." I say, crossing my arms in typical fashion. Kurama just smiles. I grab one of his pillows and wrap my arms around it.

"Has Koenma given us any news?" I ask, eager for a new mission. I always feel so free away from Ningenkai. You don't have to worry about controling your powers, or anything like that.

Yusuke shook his head. "Nope. I wish he would hurry up and keep us up to date!" I nod in agreement.

"Damn, it finally happened." I say, lying on my back. "We finally got world peace." I turn my head a bit when I hear the T.V. come to life. Kuwabara is sitting right in front of it, a Gamecube controller in hand.

"Anyone want to play with me?" he asks. Yusuke jumps up and grabs the other controller. I just lay there watching. Kurama's actually working on homework.

"You're still doing you're homework? I would have thought you'd get it done yesterday."

"I didn't have the time, Yusuke dragged me over to a party of his mom's."

"Poor Yusuke." I laughed.

"Poor me!" Kurama chuckled.

"So, how was dinner with your mom?" Yusuke ask. I shrug.

"It was okay." I didn't want to tell them how her appeareance freaked me out. How her presence freaked me out. How much I hated her. I never told anyone of the things I had to live through, and I'm glad they don't ask. Often. I rub my arms for warmth, suddenly aware of the bitter cold. "Why is it so cold in here?"

Kurama looks up from his book. "It's not cold. It's rather warm." Still, I rub my arms even faster. It's getting colder by the second. I looked around the room; everyone seemed fine. Kurama looks at me curiously.

"Are you alright?" I nod, my body shivering, my teeth chattering. I keep my eyes on the wall behind Kurama for some reason. There was something there, something vaguely familiar.

Then his face showed up, and I scream blood murder.
