Ellen: I hope these chapters are all right.

Disclaimer: I don't own YYH. I do own a whole bunch of cards and the

GBA game, though! (Stupid game keeps deleting my progress! I've gone through the entire thing about three times now! Can anybody help me?)

Kurama walked away from the forest, and called Botan from a pay phone. He only reached her answering machine, but he knew better. "Botan, this is Kurama. I know you're there. Pick up the phone; it might be worth your and Koenma's time."

The next day was Thursday, which meant more school. In the same class that I had met Kurama in, however, something was totally off-kilter. Sakura and Mitsky were new transfer students to the school! I saw Kurama and the whole gang at lunch.

Fortunately no one else was close to us, thanks to the presence of Hiei, so we could talk freely. They were sitting on the ground in a circle, and I walked over to them, standing next to Kurama, Sakura and Mitsky. Sakura had managed to sidle over to sit next to Hiei.

"Hey guys! ...Er, and girls!"

"Why, hello," Yusuke said, then frowned.

"Hey, are you feeling all right, Nerua? You seem a little... different... Oh, yeah, these are those new students, Sakura and Mitsky."

"Hey," the girls said in unison, smirking. I looked to Kurama, Sakura and Mitsky, and we all grinned wider.

"Actually, the girls and I have already met, and I'm feeling just fine, thanks, considering that I believe that I'm almost at the height of my demon powers."

"SAY WHAT?" cried Yusuke and Kuwabara in unison, and sprang to their feet.

"Suichi, do you know anything about this?!" Hiei stayed where he was but looked intrigued.

"Please, call me Kurama now. The girls know. Why don't you give everyone else a taste of what you showed me?" he asked me. Yusuke and Kuwabara reluctantly sat down, but kept wary eyes on me.

"Whatever you say, Kurama." I looked to the others. "It will start to rain in exactly two minutes, then alternate between rain, sleet, and snow every ten seconds for three minutes."

All of the dead leaves on the trees around us came back to life, only to fall perfectly to the ground by precision sparks emanating from my body. They then burst into little flames, but at that exact moment the rain started to fall, followed closely by sleet and snow, preventing them from igniting the dead leaves on the ground.

"I would advise for you to move," I said to the boys across from me. They shifted aside, and none too soon, because just then, a lightning bolt struck the ground where the three had just sat. However, three tiny sparks jumped out and gave Yusuke, Hiei and Kuwabara a slight shock.

"Aahh! Kurama, are you sure this girl's safe?! She could kill us at any time!" Kuwabara wailed.

Hiei leapt to his feet, dashed behind me, and within a split second had his katana around my neck. "Hiei, Hiei, didn't anyone ever tell you not to play with knives?" I mentally commanded the dandelions under Hiei's feet to burst into seeds, and all of the seeds flew up, and began poking the unlucky demon. Hiei withdrew his sword from my neck, startled yet annoyed, and began to swing wildly at the seeds, missing them all. He kept this up for about six minutes, until he was forced to drop to one knee from exhaustion. The seeds continued pestering the poor youkai, even as five of us who hadn't gotten on my bad side were rolling on the ground in laughter.

"Ha ha ha, yes Kuwabara, hehe, she's perfectly fine... AHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Kurama gasped, as Hiei had given two last swings, and collapsed into a heap. Sakura was the only one who was not enjoying the little dance. She rushed over to his side, and helped to get rid of some of the dandelion seeds by flicking small sparks at them from her hands, and blowing the soot away with a gentle zephyr. Mitsky decided to be nice to her sister, and helped to dispel the seeds by freezing them in shining ice crystals which emanated from her hands as she touched the seeds.

"How could you be so mean to poor Hiei?" Sakura asked as she helped Hiei up. Hiei was spared from further embarrassment by the end-of-lunch bell. Everyone else couldn't help but snigger, though, as he shakily got up and walked away; about half of the dandelion seeds had stuck to Hiei's back and hair.

Ellen: Poor Hiei. I almost feel sorry for him.

Fwooshy: But if you did, you never would have written this part!

Ellen: Very true. (high fives Fwooshy) I'm sorry to all you Hiei

fangirls. Remember, Kurama's mine!

Cheddar: Read and review! ...Hey wait, that's all I ever say!

Ellen: Well, what would you like to say?

Cheddar: Ummmm... Can I have some ice cream?

Ellen and Fwooshy: *Sigh*
