Chapter 20
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lightning flashed in the dead sky as Barbie reappeared. Natsu was not so pleased to find that she had returned without completing her mission. "You stupid girl." He ripped the lip ring from her mouth, blood dripped endlessly form her cut, and she could taste it as she tried to speak. "No, I will not allow you to speak in my presence." Natsu looked at the broken girl and then to the blue minion. "Take her to the dark chamber." He said and Barbie was dragged to a dungeon.
"My' lord. If you wish it, I will take care of those nasty humans." Sara said. (They were brainwashed to think they were demons, the information about Kurama, Hiei and the whole Urameshi team, was drilled into their heads. The girls had forgotten who they were and knew not what they were doing). "I shall not fail you."
"Yes, only I want you to take Jenea with you."
"As you wish." Sara and Jenea bowed.

"I hate math." Kuwabara said.
"I hate school." Yusuke added and Kayko walked in.
"Are you two finished studying yet? Koenma wants you to meet him in his office." Botan said, entering with Kayko.
"What? Not again." Yusuke complained and paused. "Wait, now I don't have to study." He smiled "lets not keep the toddler waiting."
************************
"Kurama?" Cindy knocked at his door. "Are you awake yet?" there was no answer. Cindy slowly pushed open his door and saw him. He was singing his Rose Whip around, in concentration. The dance of loops and slashes were so elegant and beautiful. Cindy watched him in hypnosis.
"In or out?" Cindy heard him ask.
"In." Cindy breathed. She went in and sat on his bed and watched him.
"Why don't you transform?" he asked as his Rose Whip turned back into and ordinary rose.
"I don't know how. It comes and goes. I'm not good at controlling it. I was raised by humans, remember."
"I see." he said.
"Oh, by the way. Koenma wants to see us in his office."
"I'm with Yusuke on this whole vacation thing." Cindy said and Kurama let out a small laugh
"I agree."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What do you want, girl."
"You are so insufferable!" Machiko yelled at Hiei as she started to climb the tree. "I come out here to tell you something and you feed me to the birds."
"What is it? As if I care to know." Hiei said darkly.
"Koenma wants us."
"Hn." He said and jumped form the tree.
"By the way, this "girl", as you so rudely put it, has a name. It's Machiko." She said
"Hn."
@@@@@@@@@@@@
"Good to see you could all make it." Koenma said as the group walked through the door. "It seems that Natsu has relocated his palace."
"What?" Yusuke exclaimed
"I can't locate it anywhere. I seems he found out that we knew where he was."
"How is that possible? The only ones who knew were-" Botan started, "Us."
"One of us is a traitor." Kuwabara finished. "This is not good you guys." He said
"Thank you captain obvious." Yusuke said sarcastically
"I only hope that it is not true." Koenma said, "we have to find the spy." He said. "I cannot tell you how important it is that we find his hideout. He is collecting souls from all worlds as we speak, it is only a matter of time before his army becomes stronger." He ended. "I only ask that you watch yourselves. That is all."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone left the room silently and slightly edgy about the news of the traitor. Who could it be? Of course the first suspects were the new girls, and then it shifted to Kurama and Hiei, and to Yusuke and Kuwabara. Not a good thing for a teem to go though, wondering if some one you trusted your life to, was a conspirator. This kind of thing could rip a team apart. Just the type of distraction that would help Natsu take over.
Natsu could see the distorted faces of each member. Oh he knew this would be perfect. They would be ripped apart. If only they knew who it was. Natsu knew, for he had total control of this person from the start, without their knowledge of course. "This is perfect." Natsu said to his mirror screen.

"None of us is a traitor, I mean, think of all the times we have saved each other?" Kuwabara said
"This is no time for your romantic notions." Hiei glared at him. "We should find out who is behind this and kill him or HER." he said with the emphases on the word her. "I could read everyone's mind." He said.
"And if it's you? How would we know then?" Kuwabara said
"Hn. I could kill all of you right now, I would not have to go through all the trouble of telling the enemy everything." He said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Cindy and Maryann (in their human forms of course) went back to Hawaii. They had to start doing their homework also. Maryann was so saddened over the loss of Toshiro. The funeral was at noon that day.
"I don't want to go to his funeral." Maryann said
"We grew up with him, you have to. Besides he might be there." Cindy edged on. "I you know, his spirit form might be there. And besides you need to say good-bye. I need to say good-bye. The saddest thing is that he had no clue what was going on. "
"What do you mean? Why is that sad?" Maryann asked.
"Well if I was going to kill my self or die I would like to know, what I am dieing for or why I am dieing."
"I see." Maryann said as they walked into Cindy's house. It was still a mess.
"Umm. I guess we should clean this place up before we go." Cindy said
"We have plenty of time, it's only eight twenty-two." Maryann told her sister. "Hey, where are your parents?"
"I told you they went on another business trip." Cindy lied
"Oh. Come to think of it I have never seen them." She said
"Really? I thought you did." Cindy lied. "Oh well, you can meet them when they get back." Cindy said as she picked up a vase that was smashed.
"I'll get the vacuum." Maryann said.
*******The cleaning went on for about two hours. The two sisters were dressed and ready for the funeral and were almost out the door when they heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Maryann asked
"Hn. let us in." Hiei ordered.
Maryann opened the door to reveal, Hiei and Kurama. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Koenma sent us to keep a eye on you two. He did not say why?"
"It's because one of them is a traitor." Hiei said, "or they both are."
"What did you say?" Maryann grew angry, and ran at him, he moved out of the way but she managed to drag him to the ground, she was fast too. Kurama sweat dropped and stepped back.
Cindy came to the door, wearing a long silky dress that hugged her perfect form. "What is going on?" Cindy asked and blushed when she saw Kurama at the door. "Kurama? Uh, what brings you here?"
"Apparently you and your sister need to be looked after." He said.
"Ha! That'll teach you," Maryann said as she stood up and smoothed down the wrinkles in her dress.
"Hn." Hiei said, "stupid girl."
"Baka." Maryann shot back.
"Okay, enough. We are going to be late for the funeral." Cindy said.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"A funeral, huh?" Natsu thought to himself. "This could come in handy." He said. "My army of soulless humans will be ready in no time." He said.
%%%%%%%%%
"It's easy Kazuma (I guess, heh heh)." Yukina said, (she had been going to a human school as well as living a human life, for her protection, of course)."If X equals three, then all you have to do is plug it in." she wrote the problem on the piece of paper, "so then it's three squared, plus three times seven." She said.
"Uh-uh." He said not really understanding what it was she was trying to teach him. "I get it." he lied
"Oh, is that why you have that dumb look on your face?" Yusuke asked.
"Shut up Urameshi." Kuwabara yelled. "Sorry about him, Yukina."
"It's okay. Now I want you to show me how to do this problem." He fell over (anime style).
I went on too long because this is the twentieth chappy anniversary. Yay! Okay things will get serious next chappy. And when will Sara and Jenea show up? What does Natsu have planed for the funeral? And will Hiei ever learn to hold his tongue around Maryann?
