Chapter 5

Lunch and Explanations

The group sat at a restaurant, a normal one, nothing too fancy, waiting for their meals. Kara and Tara had put their beach things in a locker before they walked to the restaurant, which was not far way.

"How do you know about us?" Kuwabara asked the two women.

Tara looked up from watching Touya draw and color with crayons on a piece of paper the waiter had given the children. "We have our ways, that is all you need to know for now."

"Why do you hold back, are you someone who is enemies with the Reikai?" Kurama asked.

"Of course not!" Kara declared. "That would be completely stupid. And besides I have two kids to look after, I don't need to have Spirit Detectives chasing after me."

"Good point," Kuwabara said.

"How are we going to get Touya back to normal," Jin piped up.

"Jin!" Yusuke half yelled, they did not think that Tara knew about the real Touya.

"Settle down boys," Tara said coolly, "We know who and what Touya really is, we just can't get him back to normal... yet anyways."

"You know 'ow to 'elp 'em?" Jin asked hopefully.

Tara nodded her head but Kara was the one who answered, "Of course, we just need certain things to make the water."

"Is it a drink? That's what Koenma had thought." Kuwabara asked

Tara shook her head, "No, it's definitely not a drink."

"Oh," Kuwabara said.

At that moment the waiter arrived with the children's meals and left again to get the others. Touya happily picked up one of his chicken nuggets before dropping it back in the plate quickly and put his fingers in his mouth.

Tara stifled a laugh, "Hot huh. Let them cool down hun."

Luke had also gotten chicken nuggets and Daren had gotten a cheeseburger. Touya grabbed his apple juice, in a child's cup, and drank some through the straw. Tara shook her head and poured some ketchup on the plate for him. When she replaced the bottle she looked up and found Jin watching Touya curiously, a smile on his face.

"Never seen your friend this young have you," Tara stated rather than asked. This made Jin look to her and shake his head.

Jin could not say anything for at that time the waiter came back, with help, with the other meals. Tara, Jin and Kuwabara had ordered bacon cheeseburgers (Jin got it because Yusuke had said that it was good) and Yusuke, Kurama and Kara had gotten fried shrimp and French fries.

Touya once again picked up one of his chicken nuggets, but this time he dunked it in the ketchup before taking a bit. Some of the ketchup got on the side of his mouth but he smiled and dunked it again before taking another bite.

Jin stuck a few French fries in his mouth and had to stifle a laugh at watching Touya eat. Touya was usually careful to not make a mess but the little thing in front of him did not seem to care. He then took a big bite out of his hamburger and a delightful smile came on his face as he discovered his love for hamburgers.

Yusuke popped a shrimp in his mouth and laughed as he watched Jin take another big bite from the burger, obviously happy with his meal.

Tara looked down at Touya and laughed lightly, "Kids, they're just messy," and indeed she was correct. Touya had ketchup and crumbs all over his mouth, the bottom of his cheeks and his fingers, but all the same he was enjoying his food.

"'e's usually not like 'at," Jin said after he swallowed what was in his mouth.

Tara looked up, "Yep, I know." She looked back down at Touya and cleaned his face with his napkin. "Your usually a neat little guy aren't you," she said teasingly to him. Touya just looked up at her and took a bite of his of his chicken nugget. Tara laughed lightly and shook her head before turning back to her own meal.

The group finished soon enough and Tara paid for everyone, to the complaint of the teens and Kara. Tara invited them all back her house to talk about the situation at hand and the boys accepted this without any complaint.

Upon arriving at Tara house Kuwabara and Yusuke ran up to the cars an looked them over in complete shock. "You have and Aston Martin and a Farrari," Yusuke said in awe.

"The Farrari is mine the Aston is Kara's," Tara corrected.

"These cars are so cool," Kuwabara said still looking them over. Kara laughed, "I don't think we came here to talk about the cars boys."

Daren grabbed the toys that were in the trunk after his mother opened it for him and handed some of them to Luke, Touya, who was in Tara's arms and did not want to be put down.

Yusuke and Kuwabara reluctantly left the cars behind as they entered the house. "Comfy," Yusuke said.

"Sure is," Tara responded.

Luke, Touya and Daren ran over to the corner of the living room and took out the other toys and began playing with them. The others sat on the ring of couches; three sofas that could hold three people were in a square with the side, facing the television, left open. Tara and Kara sat on the right, Jin and Kurama across form them and Yusuke and Kuwabara in the middle.

"So," Kurama began, "How can we get our friend back to normal?"

Kara looked at the children playing peacefully before answering, "Tara and I can make the water, but we need specific ingredients. Unfortunately they only exist in the Makai and we can't go there."

"We can 'et 'em," Jin said with a happy tone of voice

"You'd have to... if you want your friend back to normal quickly," Tara pointed out, "Touya could just re-grow but he wouldn't remember anything past the age of four, which he is now."

"An that's not good," Yusuke said, "He's the ice master of the Shinobi, there would be problems if he was left the way he is now."

"Bingo!" A female voice said somewhat cheerfully. Out of nowhere Botan popped up, "Hi, the names Botan," she said when she turned to Tara and Kara.

"Welcome," Tara said.

Botan smile, "Thanks. Anyways, it's not safe for Touya to stay little because of other demons who would eventually find out and would try to kill him."

Kara laughed, "That wouldn't happen envoy, we'd protect him. We aren't weak you know."

Botan blinked, "These demons would be powerful."

"Your point?" Kara asked. Botan thought for a moment, "And how do you know that I'm an envoy?"

Tara smirked, "We know many things, envoy of the Reikai. How, is of no importance right now. When Touya is back to normal all your questions will be answered in depth."

Touya picked up one of his small teddy bears and hugged it close as he walked to Tara. Upon reaching her he crawled up of the couch, then onto her lap, facing the chair opposite him. Tara smiled down at him as he hugged the bear even tighter.

Botan clapped her hands together, "He's so adorable... as a child I mean."

"Almost left yourself open Botan," Kuwabara said with a laugh.

Botan huffed and crossed her arms as she sat next to Yusuke, "You should have know what I meant even if I hadn't said it."

Tara smiled before looking down at the child in her lap, she lightly tugged on one of his bangs making him giggle before yawning. "Tired little one? I think it's time for a nap."

"No nap," Touya said sleepily, this made Tara chuckle.

Luke came up to his mother and climbed on her lap, soon followed by Daren who sat at her side. "Poke," Luke said as he poked Touya playfully.

Touya poked him back with a laugh, "Poke."

Tara laughed lightly, "Oh ya!" She then started tickling Touya, which made him laugh as he tried to squirm out of her grasp.

The group all laughed as they watch this, Jin's ears twitched happily. It was rare to see Touya like this, but he was a child after and children always seem to be happy.

Tara stopped tickling Touya and shortly after he fell asleep. She excused herself as she carried him to his room and set him in bed, his teddy bear still in his arms. Kara put Luke in the room across from Touya's, as he was half asleep already.

They returned and sat with the Spirit Detective and Jin once again; Daren had disappeared into the back yard to play on the swing set.

Tara sighed, "Alright time to get down to business." Everyone agreed with this statement and became serious. "The water we need to make is called the 'Holy Water', this is because it can cure any ailment, heal any wound no matter how minor or savvier and revive one to their normal state."

Kara nodded, "It is never left unguarded, if it is made already, obviously because if it fell into the wrong hands things could go dreadfully wrong." Kurama nodded, understanding what they were being told, "So what do we need to get for you to make it."

"A few items," Kara told him.

"Some easy to find, others not," Tara finished.

"And all of 'em are in the Makai, right?" Jin asked. Both Tara and Kara nodded their heads in agreement.

Tara got up and grabbed a pen and paper and started something down, after a moment she brought it over to Yusuke. "These are a list of the four ingredients needed for the water."

Yusuke looked it over, "Makai ice flower petals, water of a healing lake or stream, dragons scales and blood. These last two are going to be a pain."

"I did say that some of the items would not be easy to obtain. There is one more item need for the water but I left it out for a reason. What it is, is not important for you to know right now because you don't need to get it."

"I thought you said that they were all in the Makai," Kuwabara said.

"We did," Kara said, "You can get the fifth item, in the Makai but there is no need to for it is here in the Ningenkai as of now."

Botan hopped up, "All right then, lets go get these materials."

The group all got up but before they left Jin voiced a concern, "'ill you be alright 'er?"

Tara nodded her head, "Of course Jin. Touya won't be harmed. Both Kara and myself can personally assure you of that."

"Yep," Kara piped up, "The little guys in good hands. Demons won't mess with us, right Tara?"

Tara laughed lightly, "They should know better, but that doesn't mean that they aren't stupid. But ya, Tonya's safer here than he would be if he went to the Makai with you."

At that moment Touya walked into the living room, holding his teddy bear. "Speak of the devil," Tara said before striding over to him and picking him up. Touya laid his head on her shoulder and a small sigh escaped from his mouth.

When Tara was back with the group Jin ruffled his friends hair, "You be back to the ol' Touya soon." With that said the group said farewell and was off to get the other items needed for the Holy Water.



The big adventure starts next chapter.

Will the gang be able to get all the item? Or will they be killed doing so?

I need 3 reviews to continue. Thank you
