"Play time, Play time!" A young voice rang out in the emptiness of the shadows, "Finally I get to play!" The giggles went on only to be interrupted by a deep voice."Kira...remember...you may have your fun, but I get to kill them." A male voice boomed echoing all around the darkness..

A small girl turned around in the darkness, and she bowed. "Yes, My lord."

"Send them to me if they lose a game...the ones that win...I will grace with my presence...they will have the honor of me, coming to them," a voice echoed in the vast emptiness, "Come...come and show me your worthy of my time...in wit, and in strength. Are you ready Rekai?"

An echoing laugh swirled with the darkness, along with the child's demonic giggles.

"Why did I have to come?" Hiei snarled to Kurama, as he set up a picnic, while
Yusuke and Kuwabara had a water war in the pond."Oh Hiei...You're such a baby," Kurama teased making Hiei turn slightly pink."You know why," Kurama continued smiling at the shorter demon, "because Kuwabara is in college now, we barely see him. Only on missions, and even then it's rare he can come, and when he does come once the mission is over he must run off back to school." Kurama said patiently to his moody friend.

Hiei sat at the base of a tree and frowned. "Why does that fool even bother?"

"He wants to better himself. So that we remember him when he's gone. He wants us to remember him as a strong and capable friend...someone who would do anything to become a better...a better person" Kurama continued unfolding the blanket a tinge of sadness in his voice,"He...he doesn't want to be forgotten."

"Why so sentimental, Kurama?" Hiei asked looking at his obviously saddened friend. Kurama stopped messing with the blanket he was unfolding and looked at his hands. "You know how Kuwabara was offered to become a demon, so that he could live as long as we do, from Koenma?"

"Yes, a reward for being useless, I suppose." Hiei snorted."Shizuru has told me, he turned it down," Kurama sighed looking over at the pond where Kuwabara has just dunked Yusuke in the water.
Hiei jumped startled, "What? Why...he...last time we spoke of this he sounded like he would go through with it." Kurama shook his head, "A lie...Shizuru says he's afraid he will become like Toguro, fool hardy and blood thirsty." Kurama looked back over at Hiei with a sad smile, "He wishes the regular life of a human...Hiei...we're going to out live Kuwabara by thousands of years." Hiei looked at Kuwabara who was howling with laughter as Yusuke yelled and cussed at him. Hiei snorted, "Why get upset Kurama? We knew he was human, we knew we'd out live him!"

"Because now he has the chance to stay with us...and he won't...all because of Toguro."

Hiei looked at Kurama, "You really think meeting Toguro made him decide this decision? He's too honorable. He would not change, or cheat himself just so he could do something better." Kurama smiled, "I see he has grown on you." Hiei rolled his eyes folding his arms over his chest, "Phe." Kurama looked back at his two friend in the water. "Yusuke doesn't know Kuwabara's choice yet." Hiei tensed, but tried to hide it, "Now I see why your worried..."

At that moment Yusuke and Kuwabara came running up, both soaked to the bone.

"Hey, food ready?" Kuwabara asked smiling, unaware he had been the subject of a rather serious conversation. Kurama smiled up at Kuwabara, "Just need to spread out the blanket." Kuwabara knelt down and began to assist Kurama with out the red headed man having to ask. Kuwabara tended to be like that, always ready to lend a hand."Hey, come eat!" Yusuke said looking over at Hiei once everything was set up. Hiei glared, and looked away, "I'm only here because I was forced, I am not here to eat your disgusting human food."

"Oh no you don't shorty!" Kuwabara said with a laugh, and to Hiei's and everyone's surprise, Kuwabara had seized Hiei and tossed him on the blanket. "For one day in your tortured life, you're gonna eat with us and have fun!" Kuwabara said over dramatically placing one hand on his chest, and putting the other hand on the back of his brow. Hiei growled, but Kurama stopped him from attacking Kuwabara. "I'll deal with you later human!" Hiei threatened, but Kuwabara laughed it off.

But Kuwabara abruptly stopped when he noticed something off in the distance.

A stumbling little girl was walking towards them. Her hair was blonde, and her green eyes downcast. She wore a pink dress, and from what Kuwabara could make out, had a large red stain on the front."Oh man!" Kuwabara gasped, running past his startled friends and picked up the girl. Her small head lay gently on his chest, here eyes closed with pain."What happened?" Yusuke called as he and the others began to rush over.

"I don-" Kuwabara stopped in mid-sentence and began to scream, "HHHYAAAAAAAHHHH!" He had his eyes closed, as he dropped to the ground, wrapping his arms around him. "Ura-Urameshi it hurts! Ah!!" Kuwabara gasped eyes opening briefly. He had dropped the girl, but it didn't matter, for she floated in the air smiling wickedly at Kuwabara. Kuwabara's body flashed a sharp blue and then faded away, the small girl now hovering where he once was.

"She's a demon!" Kurama announced too late. The girl spun around, her hair floating up. "We're going to play!" She snapped her fingers, and like that, Hiei, Yusuke, And Kurama were sent away screaming as well. Shortly the girl disappeared too, and all that was left, was the picnic basket, which would remain unattended.
