*Chapter 2*

To the Beach

~

I really liked to thank Natsuki Sasahara, Jess-YYH, Sesshomaru01, Tears341, MercuryMechanics, and Kuramasgirl556, for reviewing! I love you all. I tryped this up during the night, so this is not the best chapter I ever written. Trust me! Please review!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They were all at the beach. Kurama lying on a towel in his green swim truncks, Hiei standing in the water with his arms crossed in his black swim trunck. Yusuke was swimming in the water and splashing Kuwabara in his red truncks and and Kuwabara wearing his orange. The girls were in the restrooms changing. It almost took for ever for them to change. They all walked out wearing there bathing suits. Keiko wore a pink one-piece, Botan wore a sky blue bikini, Shizuru wore a red on-piece, Yukina wore a lime-gree one-piece taht matched her hair, and Mai wore a black bikini.

"So you're Yusuke cousin. I haven't heard from you since I was still in diapers" laughed Kieko.

"Well, I had to stay with someone since my mom is on a trip to France. Anyway enough about me. Why don't you tell me what's been happening in your world"

"Well, I still am a straight A student, and life has been okay with me, but I really hate it when Yusuke doesn't tell me when he has to go on his little missions. You know?" said Keiko.

"Well, not exactly. You most really worry about him." Keiko sighed.

"Anyway, this is Yukina, she's a ice apparition, that Shizuru, Kuwbara's big sis and you know Botan"

"I would have to say Mai is a better detective than Yusuke. Mai doesn't have an attidute of a monkey" laughed Botan.

They rest of them also laughed. "Thanks Botan" said Mai.

"Kazuma doesn't act like that, does he?" asked Yukina.

Shizuru put a hand on her shoulder. "You have so much to learn, Yukina" she said trying not to laugh.

"So, have you met some one you like?" asked Shizuru. "Well, I guess I am a bit attracted to Hiei" Mai said quietly.

"I guess he's oksy but have you noticed he's like a snapping turtle?"

"I haven't noticed"

They arrived to the beach seeing the guys have already settled in. Yusuke turned to look at the girls. "Well it about time- Ahh!" he said falling into the water but got back up. "Yusuke, what is wrong with you?" said Keiko with her hands on her hips. Yusuke pointed to Mai. "What's is it? Is there something on my face?" asked Mai as she approached the water with her arms crossed. "It's what you're wearing!" Yusuke shouted looking at her black bikini.

Mai looked at herself. She raised an eyebrow. "So what? It's called a bathing suit." Mai rolled her eyes. "That ia WAAAAYYY to revealing, I don't think you should wear that!"

"I thought you were my cousin not my dad" laughed Mai. "Okay, but don't blame me when you are being harrassed"

"I can take care of myself thank you very much"

The agrument was and mostly everyone was in the water except for Hiei and Mai. Mai was sitting on a beach towel and Hiei sitting on a nother beside her. Hiei couldn't help but stare. 'Why the hell did she have to wear that!? Stupid human emotions. I have been with these pathetic humans to long' thought Hiei. Hiei looked at her long slender legs, and then he notices her twins (I really hope you know what that means, clue starts with b) Hiei then looked at her face. They could hear Keiko yelling at Yusuke and Kuwbara showing off to Yukina. Mai noticed that hiei was looking and raised her eyebrow. 'What is he staring at?!' thought Mai.

"Hiei, why are you staring at me?!" Hiei turned his head.

"Hn"

"Is that all you can say?"

"No"

"Well, at least i know you can talk" laughed Mai. There was a long silence until Mai scooted closer to him and looked at him directly in the face. Hiei face immediatly heated up. "What are you doing?" asked Hiei nervous. Mai moved her fingers to his face. She slowly and gently touched his cheek making him turn red as a tomato. She moved her hand to his head bane, as soon as she touched the part where the Jagan was, he quickly grabbed her wrist letting out a small gasp, out of Mai.

"Oh, umm I'm sorry. I was just wondering why you wear that, even at the beach." said Mai as she scooted back to where she was sitting. Hiei untied his head bane. Mai turned her hard to see a purple eyes on Hiei's forehead. Hiei put his head bane back before he was about to read her mind.

"Wow. What's that?"

"It's a Jagan Eye. It has the ability to read mind, and locate where people are"

"That's so cool- what! You haven't read my mind my mind have you?"

"Don't flatter yourself. I don't read weak human's mind."

Mai just gave a simple 'hmph'. and walked over to the water and dived in splashing Yusuke. Hiei just sat there. 'Why the hell am I upset? Maybe I shouldn't have said that, but why should I care if the human girl, is upset. I was right, I have been spenting to much time with these humans I am developing feeling!' thought Hiei.

Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Mai were all in Yusuke's apartment laughing and talking. Mai served some of her chocolate covered lemon squares. Mai was wearing a dark blue mini skirt and a white top.

"Mai, these lemon squares are really good" said Kurama taking bites out of his chocolate covered lemon squares.

"Thanks Kurama, I have been cooking since I was little. I only had to cook when my mom grounded me for beating some one up" laughed Mai but stopped when her watch beeped. She stood up and looked at her watch.

"What's the problem, Mai?"

"Ummmm....Yusuke I have to go meet some one. Do you mind cleaning up?" asked Mai going to her room.

"Well, I don't know if I could clean up!" shouted Yusuke, trying to sound loud so Mai could hear. Mai walked out her rooom wearing a black mini skirt, and a red tanktop with a black jacket that reached to her knees.

"Where are you off to?" asked Yusuke grabbing more of her lemon squares.

"I told you, I have to meet some one, I'll be back late. Bye!" she said and left the room.

"Hey Hiei" said Yusuke. Hiei turned.

"I saw you and Mai at the beach I couldn't help but noticed you were snuggly" laughed Yusuke. Hiei face turned pink.

"Shut up detective!"

"Aww, c'mon you know you like her"

"I like no one!"

They all laughed.

Mai walked down the street through the park and into the deep woods to see some hooded guys. They all wore hoods but when they saw Mai approach they took off they took off there hoods and greeted her friendly.

"Welcome Mai, I'm surprised you showed up" said Blade. He had short silver hair and narrowed red eyes. Blade was a fire demon.

"I showed up to talk to you, so please dismiss your mingets." she said coldly. Blade smirked and snapped his fingers. The little demons only ran.

"What is it you want, Mai?"

"I want out"

"Out?"

"Yes, I don't want to do this any more"

"But you have no choice Mai"

"I do have have choice and I choose to stay with my cousin, and for get I ever meant you"

"As I said you have NO choice...."

Blade held out a beautiful pure silver orb.

"YOU BASTARD! You wouldn't?"

"Oh but I would" Blade said as he slightly tighten his grip on the orb. Mai gasp and fell on her knees one arm on the ground and the other around her waist. Blade loosed his grip and simply leftb without saying a word.

Mai walked home slowly and stepped inside her apartment to fine Yusuke snoring. She walked to her room and fell asleep. Tears spilled out of her eyes.

"I'm sorry Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara,... Hiei"
