Chapter 2: Things Found
"Where exactly are we, Urimeshi?" Kuwabara yelled in annoyance.
"How the hell should I know?" Yuusuke replied as he looked around his bleak surroundings.
The sky, the land, and everything around them was dark brown, like smog. The land it's self was bare but for a few dieing grasses.
"Well, you HAVE been to the Makai more than me. I'm guessing that's where we are because of the huge ki readings."
Yuusuke sat down on a rock and sighed, "Yah, this is definitely the Makai. But I have no idea where."
Kuwabara scratched his head, "I wonder why that girl sent us here."

Hiei sat in a tree, preparing to sleep. He closed his eyes, and the face of the girl popped into his head.
""Damn it," he muttered and opened his eyes, "I can't get that ningen out of my mind. There's something about her that appeals to me. Grrrr! Why am I being so stupid? I'm never going to see her again." But as he thought this a great sadness washed over him. Finally, if for no other reason than to get a good night's sleep, Hiei got up and went over to the Ningenkai.
When Hiei found the girl, she was still awake. She was brushing her long golden hair and staring out at the night sky dreamily. As Hiei watched, she closed her eyes, leaned against the window frame, and sighed.
"God, why do I keep thinking of him? I'm never even going to see him again. But still, I miss him. Hiei. What is there in your dark appearance and cold manner that makes my heart flutter?"
Hiei was shocked. There was no way this girl could even slightly feel the same way for him. And yet here she was, telling her love story to the sky, thinking she was unheard.
"Katie," Hiei breathed.
"Katie, time for bead!" a woman called.
"Ok Kaasan," the girl called back. She took one last look at night sky, sighed again, and went to bed.
* * * * *
Kaita smiled to herself as she watched Hiei stare at the girl as she slept.
'Hiei seems to be quite taken with this girl, this Katie,' she thought, 'That's good. He needs someone to really care for and who'll care for him.'
With that, she went off to go guard her own love interest while he and his mother slept.

"You called, Kuenma sir?" Botan asked as she entered.
"Yes," replied the toddler, "We have finally pinpointed Yuusuke and Kuwabara's location. They're in the brown desert in the outlands of the Makai."
Botan covered her mouth, "Goodness, how did they get all the way out there?"
"We don't know," Kuenma said sternly, "You'll have to ask them once you get them out of there."
"Me?" Botan laughed nervously, "But Kuenma sir, I think Hiei, or Kaita, or even Kurama is better suited to this."
"Kuenma scowled at his assistant, "Kurama is busy with school. Mukuro has informed us that Hiei is nowhere to be found. And Kaita is caring for Kuga, who has a head cold. You're the only one we can think of who can go."
"Ok," sighed Botan, "I'll do it." She got on her oar and flew off to the Makai.
"Yuusuke! Kuwabara!" Botan shouted as she flew through the Brown Desert. She looked at the ground, searching for any sign of the two boys.
"Botan!" she heard Yuusuke's voice, "Botan! Over here!"
"There you are!" she flew down to the two boys, "How do you get all the way out here?"
"No idea," said Kuwabara as he and Yuusuke clambered onto the oar.
"A strange girl sent us here somehow," Yuusuke told her.
"Well, hold on," Botan warned, "I've got to get you back to the Ningenkai before you're missed to much."
She touched down on the roof of their school.
"Finally. I was wondering how long it would take," said Kaita as she hopped of a higher section of the roof.
"Hey Kaita," Kuwabara waved happily, "Did you miss me?"
Kaita smiled smugly, "Very much so."
Keiko suddenly came running up the stairs to the roof.
"Yuusuke!" she yelled as soon as she saw him. She ran up and hugged him.
"Hi Keiko," Yuusuke said and awkwardly tried to hug her back.
"You had me so worried!" she sobbed.
"Hey, relax! I'm fine."
Botan smiled and flew off now that her work was done.
