Review:

"Yusuke, why don't you get some rest? I'm going to stay up and watch over Stacey. She had a tough fight." Said Kurama.

"Sure, that sounds nice." Yusuke yawned and collapsed onto one of the other couches.

"Goodnight."



Kurama stayed by Stacey all night. It was 1:30am; Kurama had already fallen asleep beside Stacey. Stacey stirred up a bit, waking up Kurama.

"Stacey.. you shouldn't wake up," said Kurama with concern. "What happened?" she asked, putting her hand on her forehead.

"You fell asleep by Kanna's spell, remember?" asked Kurama.

"Yeah, I remember, we have to find Kanna," said Stacey standing up but fell back down, sitting on the couch.

"You must rest, you are too injured," said Kurama, laying her back down to go to sleep.

"Don't worry, I'll-" Stacey was cut off by Yusuke's snoring.

"Heh looks like he is having a good sleep. What time is it?" Stacey asked.

"Its 1:45am, go back to sleep," said Kurama.

"Fine, but where are Hiei and Katie?"

"I don't know, they never showed up," replied Kurama. "Oh ok, goodnight." Said Stacey, going back to sleep.

"Goodnight." said Kurama, still staying by her side.



°~Makai World~°

"Hmm.. anyone there?!" shouted Katie.

She was in forest training/practicing. She thought she sensed someone in the trees, but she shook it off.

She was wearing her fighting outfit (It looks like Rinoa's from FF8). She practiced all of her ice attacks, "Lets see, what should I do next?" she asked herself.

All of the trees around her were frozen. Katie snapped her fingers, "I know!"

Katie put her hands together with her index finger out (Like when rando cast that spell) and closed her eyes.

Hiei was watching from above. He sensed her walking by the hotel in the middle of the night and went to go follow her.

He wondered what was she doing and watched closely.

He felt a chill down his spine; it had gotten cold. "Why is it so cold?" wondered Hiei.

The temperature dropped dramatically. Hiei was shivering from head to toe, for the fire demon he is, he warmed his body up but still the cold came.

"What the hell is going on?" demanded Hiei. He then heard laughter.

"Hello hiei," said Katie, walking under the tree he was in.

"How did you know I was here?" asked Hiei, still shivering.

"Easy. I could sense that you were here and besides I could feel the hot temperature you let off," said Katie, smiling.

"Why is it so cold?" demanded Hiei, he could see that fog every time he spoke.

"Cause I made it cold," replied Katie. "What?!" said Hiei jumping off the tree.

"I have the power to lower the temperature dramatically," said Katie.

"And it doesn't seem to bother you,"

"Nope." She replied. "Why? Too cold for ya, hiei?"

"Heh, no." he said. "Good! Cause I'm gonna leave like this for a while," said Katie, with joy.

"You're kidding, right?"

"Nuh huh," said Katie, shaking her head. She then sighed, "Fine, I'll change it back."

"Party pooper." Said Katie to herself.

"What did you say?" demanded Hiei.

"Oh nothing."

"Good. Now melt the ice," said Hiei.

"Why?" asked Katie.

"I'll just melt it myself then," said Hiei, doing his 'Dragon of Darkness Flame'.

"Aaaww, fine."

After Hiei was done melting the ice, an evil laughter came.

"Thanks for melting the ice, now my plants can grow!"

Suddenly, giant plants started to grow from the ground.

Hiei sliced up half of the plants with his katana and Katie with her spirit daggers (similar to yusuke's spirit gun, except that they are daggers).

"Who are you?!" shouted Katie.

"Your worst nightmare,"

Suddenly, the trees around them started to move and the roots got hold of Hiei and Katie.

"Ha ha! Surrender!"

"Why should we surrender to you?" said Hiei, coolly.

"What?! You'll see!"

Just then, the roots around Hiei, squeezed him tighter, making it hard for him to breath.

"Leave him alone!" shouted Katie.

"Why? So, you can save him? Ha ha!"

"Rrrr



Just then a monster (It looks like the one in Teen Titans, the one about Raven's mirror) came out of nowhere and free Hiei and Katie.

Hiei is lying on the ground, still breathing. "Hiei, are you ok?" said Katie, sitting next to him and shaking him.

He woke up, "Yeah I'm fine," he said standing up and patting his clothes.

Katie gave a sigh of relief and got up, "Good. But who free us?"

"What is going on?!" shouted the figure (The Evil one).

"Ok, Madigar, you can go now."

The monster known as Madigar disappeared. And a young girl came out of the shadows. She was around 15; short girl who has long dark brown hair with black and red highlights down to her knees, and has lightly tanned skin and blue eyes.

"Who are you?" demanded Hiei.

"My name is Julie," said the girl.

"Doesn't matter who you are, you'll pay!" said the EF. (Evil figure)

The roots of the plants charged at the group; only Hiei and Katie jumped out of the way.

"Move you stupid girl!" shouted Hiei. (Hmm.. I wonder where we have heard that before, hint: Inuyasha)

Julie just stood there, not moving at all as the roots came closer.

Suddenly roots stopped at their place and turned back and went straight for the evil figure.

"Aaaahhhh!" it shouted. "I'll be back, for you haven't seen the last of me.." it said disappearing in the sky. (Well, the group didn't see who/what it was)

"How? Wha- what happened?" asked Katie, confused. "Yes, explain yourself," demanded Hiei.

"Simple, I just used my witchcraft," answered Julie, coldly.

Hiei and Katie had confused looks on their faces.

"Well, I go to go. Ja ne!" she said disappearing.

"Who was that girl?" pondered Hiei. "I don't know, but its not important right now come on lets go tell the others." Said Katie, going through the portal.

°~Living World~°

*~Morning~*

Stacey opened her eyes and sat right up. Remembering everything that had happened, she quietly got up, trying not to wake Yusuke or Kurama, who was still snoring very loudly and Kurama, who was still by her bedside sleeping.

Stacey placed her covers over Kurama and walked silently out of the hotel.

¤ Mom is gonna kill me for not telling her where I was all night ¤

°~Stacey's POV~°

I quietly walked in the backyard, knowing that my grandma would hear me if I opened the front door. But she was watching TV, so I needed to be silent. Once I got past her I went upstairs, hoping that mom wouldn't wake up. It was 11:00am, usual she was awake by now but I guess she slept in.

I made it to my room and gave a sigh of relief. "Phew, that was close." I said lying on my bed. I looked at my right shoulder, it still hurted from the dagger that Kanna stabbed me with.

I then took a shower and washed my hair.

~*Back at the Hotel*~

Kurama woke up and looked around the room with hesitation, thinking: 'Where is she?'

"Its about time you woke up," said Katie, sitting on a chair that was beside the couch.

"Katie, where have you've been?" asked Kurama.

"She went to Makai to train," said Hiei, sitting on the windowsill.

"Oh."

"Yeah-" Katie was cut off by Yusuke's snoring. "Shouldn't someone wake him up?"

"I will," said Kuwabara, beside Yusuke.

He breathes deep and shouts, "YUSUKE WAKE UP!!!!!!"

Katie, Hiei and Kurama covered their ears from the shouting.

"Huh?!" said Yusuke waking up. "Good morning Yusuke." greeted Kurama.

"Morning already? Oh man!" said Yusuke, taking his pillow; covering his head.

"Hey wake up, Urameshi," said Kuwabara, shaking him.

"Have you guys seen stacey?" asked Kurama.

"No, why?" asked Katie.

"Oh, nothing just wondering,"

"You're lying, I can tell," said Hiei, his jagan glowing.

"You're right, something happened last night while you two were gone." Said Kurama. "Really? What happened?" asked Katie, curious.

"We were attacked by Kanna, she took us to a forest and battle against Stacey. Stacey won the fight and we were transported back to here," explained Kurama.

"Oh, where is stacey now?" asked Katie. "I don't know,"

"Quit bugging me, Kuwabara," said Yusuke, tiredly. "Would you just wake up?!"

"Fine!" said Yusuke, sitting up. "Happy?"

"So.. where have you two been?" asked Yusuke.

"We were at Makai," said Hiei. "Yeah," said Katie. "We were attack by a demon, but we didn't catch a glimpse of who or what it was," said Hiei.

"Yeah, then a girl came out of nowhere and freed us from the demon's grasp," said Katie.

"Do you know who it was?" asked Kurama. "No," replied Hiei.

"I'm gonna go find stacey, anyone coming?" asked Katie, opening the door.

"I will." said Kurama, standing up. "Me too, and yusuke is coming," said Kuwabara.

"What? Why do I have to go?" complained Yusuke. "Cause, keiko told me that you're a lazy monkey and should be up more." explained Kuwabara. "Oh great," said Yusuke with sarcasm. "Anyone got a banana?"

Everyone stared at him. "What?"

"You coming, hiei?" asked Katie. "Why would I go outside for a ridiculous reason?"

"Suit yourself."

They walked down the sidewalk to Stacey's house.

¤~Stacey's POV~¤

I was bored, so I decided to practice on my flute.

I was playing the Star Spangled Banner, I then decided to stop and go outside.

"Grandma, I'm gonna go outside," I said in Chinese, grabbing jacket from the closet. "Ok," she replied.

I walked down the sidewalks of my neighborhood, being bored.

(Stacey is wearing blue jeans, a black shirt that is connected with a black fish net with 3 cherry pics in a row; middle& blue jacket. Hair down; dried and a dark blue scrunchy on her right wrist and wearing blue/white sneakers.)

"Hey look, there's stacey. Stacey!" shouted Katie across the street, waving.

"Huh?" I looked up and turned to my right to see Katie, Kurama, Kuwabara and Yusuke.

"Hey!" I said waving back. I looked both sides of the streets and ran over to the other side.

"How are your injuries?" asked Kurama. "Huh? Oh their fine, don't worry," I said.

(Remember this is still Stacey's POV, I'm gonna leave it like that)

"Are you sure, kurama told us everything that happened," said Katie.

"He did? Well its nothing to worry about, it just hurts a little." I said.

"So, where have you've been?" I asked as Katie.

"Oh, Makai, training but then a demon attacked me and hiei. Then suddenly out of nowhere a girl saved us, but then demon ran away." Said Katie.

"Are you ok?" I asked. "Yeah fine, but I think hiei's ribs are broken," said Katie, worried.

"What?" we all asked. "Well, the plant's roots must of broken some of his ribs." said Katie.

"I hope hiei is alright," said Kurama. "He didn't look so beat up to me," said Kuwabara.

"Maybe that's because he was hiding it, stupid." Smirked Katie. "Hey!"

"Huh? I just remembered something, I got to go," I said, leaving the group.

"What? Where are you going?" asked Yusuke. "Somewhere, don't worry I'll be right back!" I said, running.

°~Martin Sortun Elementary~°

"Where is she?" asked a young girl, looking at her watch.

"I'm here," I said, panting. "Its about time." said the girl.

"Sorry, I almost forgot." I said. "Its ok, so where are we going?" she asked.

"Um.. how about you meet my friends?" I suggested. "Sure."

We walked on the road and past some streetlights (What? Stacey ran beside the street, since the school is far away).

"There they are!" I said, pointing to a group of boys. I ran, but then I suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Stacey?" asked the girl. "Um..." ¤ Should I really show her them first? ¤

"Uh.. come on, this way," I said, pulling her away the other way. "Whoa, hold on!" she shouted.

I stopped, "What?" "Aren't those your friends?" she asked. "Uh..."

"Just follow me," I said, running. "Ok," she said, running after me.

We ran into a group of boys and girls near a Jr. high school. "Hey guys!" I said, walking up to them.

"Oh, hey stacey," said Mai. "Hey." Said Chris. "Whats up?" asked Mai.

"Nothing much, just showing a friend around," I answered. "Hi," said the girl.

"Hi," said Mai and Chris. "Guys, this is Julie. She's here on vacation," I said. "Julie, this is Mai and Chris."

"Hey stacey, where's your cute friend?" whispered Mai. "Mai!"

"Just kidding." She replied. "Well, we got to go, see ya guys later!" I said, walking away with Julie.

"Bye." Said Julie.

*~Group~*

"So, hiei you decided to join us?" asked Yusuke. "Hn."

"I wonder where stacey ran off to?" asked Katie.

"Hey guys!" I said, panting again. "Hey, where did you go?" wondered Katie.

"Oh, just picking up a friend," answered Stacey. "Here she is," I said, pointing to the girl behind me.

She was wearing a torn black shirt, with black jeans and a skull necklace.

"That's the same girl who saved us from the demon!" pointed Katie.

"Who saved you, not me." Said Hiei. "Come on hiei, katie told us what happened." Smirked Yusuke.

"This is the girl who saved you guys?" I asked them. "Julie?"

"Yep, its true I saved them!" she said, happily. "When were you gonna tell me?" I asked.

"Uh... I don't know." Shrugged Julie. "Stacey, this is julie?" asked Katie. "Yep!"

"That's Shuichi, Yusuke, Kuwabara. And I think you already met Hiei and Katie," I said, pointing to everyone.

Yusuke: "Yo." Kurama/Shuichi: "Nice to meet you." Kuwabara: "Hey." Julie: "Hi."

"She'll only be here for a couple of weeks, she's staying here for a vacation," I said.

"So, are you a demon or something?" asked Yusuke. "No, not really." Said Julie.

"Then how did you summoned that monster?" asked Hiei.

"I have witchcraft, so I can summon monsters, I guess." Answered Julie.

"Oh great, another witch," said Yusuke. "What's that supposed to mean?" asked Julie. "Its nothing, I just spooked Yusuke with my witch powers," I answered.

"Oh, I bet you scared him good," said Julie. "You bet!"

"Uh... what's wrong with him?" asked Julie, pointing to Kuwabara who was sitting in a corner shaking. "Oh that, don't worry I guess Kuwabara is still freaked out," said Kurama.

"Freaked out? Freaked out by what?" asked Julie, a bit scared. "Oh, just me levitating him up using my telekinesis." I said, happily. "Sweet." Said Julie.

Just then a girl about 15, ran by the reikai tantei and bumped into Kurama.

"Oh, excuse me, I didn't see you there," said the girl. She had long blonde hair with black streaks and blue eyes.

"Its ok," said Kurama, holding his hand out. "Thanks," said the girl. "My name is Lina,"

"Hello, my name is Shuichi," said Kurama. "Uh.. well I got to go, bye." Said Lina blushing and waving goodbye.

"Why is it that every girl that kurama meets, they always crush on him?" asked Yusuke.

"Well, yusuke-" Katie cut off Kurama. "We don't have time to talk about this, lets just get on with the mission."

"What mission?" asked Julie confused. "Oh just a mission, that koenma-" Yusuke covered Kuwabara's mouth quickly. "Its nothing, just a little game we were playing."

I sighed, "Don't worry guys, she knows about everything."

"She does?!" they all asked. "Yes, she's knows about Spirit World, and Koenma and all that stuff, otherwise how could she have been there in Makai." I explained.

"So, what do you guys want to do now?" asked Julie. "I don't know, we really don't know much about this city," said Kurama.

"Do you guys know where we can go?" Kuwabara asked; Katie and Stacey.

"Why don't you ask stacey," said Katie. "She's been here longer than me." "I know! Lets go to the South Center Mall," I said. "The mall? Why there?" asked Yusuke.

"Do you have any better ideas?" I asked. "Uh.. well..." "Ok, we're going to the mall, how are we gonna get there?" I asked them.

Everyone: *falls anime style* "You mean we're going to the mall and you don't know how we're gonna get there?!?" shouted Yusuke.

"Uh.. yes." I said, sweatdropping.

"Hey stacey!" said Mai, waving from a green van. "Hey!" I said, walking to Mai.

"Hey, Chris and me are going to the mall, want to come?" she asked. (How convenient)

"Sure! But do you mind if I bring some friends with me?" I asked.

"Um.. hold on," Mai turned to Chris. "Can stacey bring some friends with her?"

"Uh.. yeah. Can she mom?" asked Chris. "Sure."

"Yeah, you can," said Mai, turning back to Stacey. "Ok, come on guys," I said.

~*Seating*~

Driver's seat: Chris's mom

2nd seat: Chris

2nd row: Mai, near the door and Stacey sitting next to her (3 ppl can sit there)

Last row: (left to right) Julie, Katie, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara and Yusuke.

"Why do we get to sit in the back?!" asked Kuwabara, squish.

Stacey and Mai were too busy to notice that Kuwabara was talking.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" shouted Kuwabara.

"Huh? What were you saying, Kuwabara?" kid Stacey.

Mai and me laughed. "We're going to the South Center Mall, right?" "Yep." Replied Mai.

"I can't believe, you talked me into this, kurama." Said Hiei.

"Well, I didn't know it would turn out like this." Said Kurama, sweatdropping.

~In 2 hours we arrived at the South Center Mall. ~

"I'll pick you guys back up when you call." Said Chris's mom driving off.

"So, where do you guys want to go?" Chris asked.

"Wait, let me introduced these guys to you," I said. "This is Yusuke, Kuwabara, Shuichi, Hiei and Julie."

"Mai, come on." I said, walking inside. "Wait up!"

They entered the mall as a group, deciding where to go first.

"So, should we go?" I whispered to Mai. "Leave them? Are you sure that's ok?"

"Well, they have Chris and Katie." I said. "Mmm.. alright." Said Mai.

"Ok, on the count of 3. 1.. 2.. 3!"

Mai and me then ran into the crowd so the others couldn't find us.

"Hey! Where are you guys going?!" shouted Kuwabara.

"Where did they go?" asked Kurama, as the crowd cleared.

°~Some where in the Mall~°

"Ok, we've lost them, now its time to go SHOPPING!!!" said Mai with joy. "Yes!"

They went shopping almost everywhere; they bought clothes, stuff, stuff, etc...

"Lets get something to eat," I suggested. "Ok, like what?" asked Mai.

"Um... ice cream?" "Nah, um.. hey, how about a smoothie?" suggested Mai.

"A smoothie? Ok, where is it?" I asked. "Over there, by Baskin Robins." Said Mai, pointing to the store that was selling smoothies.

I ordered an avocado smoothie (What, my mom makes them and they are really good) and Mai ordered a strawberry banana smoothie.

We both walked over to the food court and sat down.

"I wonder where are the others?" I asked Mai. "Mm.. I don't know, probably looking for us." Suggested Mai.

"Yeah, probably. But if they are, they are just wasting their times." I said.

"Hey guys!" came Katie. "Uh oh..." I said. "So.. what have you've guys been doing?" asked Chris.

Mai and me hid our bags, "Nothing!" we both said.

"What are you hiding?" asked Hiei. "Nothing!" we said again.

Yusuke then went behind them to see what they were hiding.

"You guys went shopping without us?!?" shouted Yusuke.

"Shh.. yusuke, you don't want people looking at us," said Kurama, sweatdropping.

"Uh.. yeah we did," said Mai, sweatdropping. "Its not really that important that we go shopping together, is it?" I asked them.

"I guess not," said Kurama. "Did you guys buy everything in every store?" asked Katie.

"Uh.. no. That would be stupid if we did that," I said, sipping my smoothie.

"Where were you guys?" asked Mai, sipping her smoothie.

"We were over there," said Julie, pointing to an arcade.

"Yusuke had to stay and beat Kuwabara's score," said Katie.

"What?! His score was higher than mine!" whined Yusuke.

"By 1 point." Said Hiei. "Can we get out of this mall now?" asked Hiei.

"What? No, we haven't gone shopping yet," said Katie.

"We have." I said. "Of course you did," said Julie. "Oh great, now we have to carry their bags," whined Yusuke.

"Nah, you don't have to. You guys can just stay here and we'll go shopping." Suggest Julie.

"Well, alright, we'll wait here for you guys." Said Yusuke, sitting down with his hands behind his head.

"We'll go too, see ya guys." I said, getting up with Mai, leaving our bags at the table.

Kuwabara and Yusuke stared at each other for a while, then looked at the arcade, a grin spread Yusuke's face.

"Race ya to there?" smirked Yusuke. "You're on!"

And they zoomed off, of course Yusuke won. "Ha ha, I beat you!" taunted Yusuke.

"Not fair, I want a do-over!" whined Kuwabara.

"Do they always do that?" asked Chris. "Yes, quite embarrassing." Said Kurama, sweatdropping.

"Ok, we're back!" said Julie.

The boys turn to see the girls with lots'n lots of bags.

"Ok, Chris you can call your mom now," said Mai.

"Alright." sighed Chris.

The gang didn't know it, but they were followed since they entered the mall. A pairs of eyes kept an eye on the reikai tantei.

°~Park~°

"Thanks for the ride mai, see ya at school." I said, waving goodbye.

"Ok, bye Stacey." Said Mai, waving goodbye. "Goodbye."

"I'm so bored..." said Katie. "Yeah, me too," said Julie.

"Well, what do you guys want to do? There's school tomorrow," I said.

"Oh yeah school, I forgot about that." Said Yusuke. "Can't we skip it?" asked Kuwabara.

"If you have a good excuse," said Kurama.

"Mmm.. hey! Do you guys want to go to the carnival after school tomorrow?" asked Katie.

"Sure! That's a great idea," I said. "Sure, why not?" said Julie.

"Alright the carnival sounds good," Kurama. "Yeah, sure. We'll meet each other after school," said Yusuke.

"Ok, Julie you know where my school is, right?" I asked her. "Yeah, I remember." She answered.

"Ok, just meet us there at 2:15pm."

"Well, see ya." Said Katie walking home. "Bye." I said, walking as well.

The gang parted as the pair of eyes watched the gang leave.

"At the carnival, huh? Can't wait to tell my sister about this." Said the figure as it disappeared.



Finally DONE!!! Man, 12 pages, I didn't mean for it to be a long chapter. 12 pages is the longest chapter I ever wrote. Ok, it was orginally 12, but now its 15 cause of the spacing; I had to do some double space on a few things. Please keep R&R! If you have any questions (which I doubt you'll have) just IM on AIM or YIM or email me.

Ja ne- See ya
