But, I had plenty of time to work on it as well…hehe…*hides* Anyway, that was because I've been unable to get to my computer. I was so happy when I could get on again to see so many wonderful reviews! ARIGATO again, and thanks a ton for sticking with me. The regular will be at the bottom, but you know that I had to thank you here first. ^_^ Alright, you're all tired of my talking, so I'm going to leave…oh!

From the Inside
Ch.5: Completion and…Beginnings?
By: DumbAssPunk
Kagome's laugh echoed throughout the large room. "That I did." Taking a sip of her coffee, she sat back, and contemplated how to answer. Finally, she spoke. "These," she tapped Yusuke's weights lightly, "are called Provanté, and are used to strengthen the inner self, putting everything else aside. Kuwabara was first because he doesn't comprehend things anyway, so it was easier."
She looked at each one of them in turn. "The way you managed to get here is the one way that usually, you would never allow yourself: Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara- on you knees and Hiei- on your stomach. Humans see kneeling to another as labeling yourself as below someone; Youkai see lying down before a blow as degrading and a show of unworthiness. And yet, you were all able to put these notions aside to achieve your goals. Though you still have a far way to go, you have done well for a beginning."
She smiled. "You may have been wondering when you'll be about to take these weights off you- the answer is never." A blue light formed around her wrists and ankles, and her own Provanté could be seen. They faded away and she grinned. "I wouldn't worry about that right now though. You five are going to be training with me for the next five months, with no breaks in between. Your school knowledge will be obtained so that you won't lag behind when we're finished, and your parents/guardians have been notified of your absence. Any questions?"
They slowly blinked, and it was surprisingly Kuwabara who spoke up. "But when will I see my lovely Yukina?!"
Hiei growled, and glared at the idiotic giant. *Stupid ningen, thinking he's worth of my sister!*
^I see that you're not only a silent one, but an overprotective brother as well. ^ She smiled slightly at him. ^Don't worry about it, it's not like we'll be going anywhere but my dojo, living quarters, Makai, and eventually Reikai. ^
He nodded barely in response. /True. /
Kagome smiled, seeing that the guys were clearly exhausted and tired. Opening a portal, she and Natasni helped the guys into the room, where futons were set up for then all. Wishing them good night, Natasni and Kagome exited, going to their own private rooms to sleep.
----------
Yusuke was the first one up, and he groaned as a severe headache pounded in his skull. Glancing out the window, he saw that the sky was just turning grey, and tried to get back to sleep. A loud knock reverberated through their door only seconds after, and Yusuke growled in frustration as he scrambled up.
The others got up as well, and even Hiei was holding his head in his hands from the pain. They all dressed and filed from the room silently, looking up and down the long hall for their host and friends. Botan popped up in front of them, mouth open for a loud, cheery greeting. Their heated glares caused her to reconsider, and she whispered, "Hey, I see that they were right about how your attitudes would be. I'm to show you how to get to the dining room, seeing as it's your first times."
They just nodded in response, following her down the hallway, ending at two main double doors. Made of frosted glass, it showed fire winding around the Kanji of her name, Higurashi, to be hampered by a downpour higher up. Hiei looked up at it, mystified. He felt as if he were there in the flames, the warmth heating his face lightly as the 'imagined' rain cooled the weight of duty upon his shoulders. The others seemed unaffected as the walked through, their weights still obstructing their walking slightly. Awe struck, they all halted in the foot of the door as a light brush of energy passed over them, soothing their aches and pains. Glancing at their surroundings, they saw a long, elegant dining table which was set with the finest porcelain and crystal. A large, shimmering chandelier reflected its light along the silverware spread underneath it, its lights twinkling merrily at them. Under their feet was the finest weaving of rug in an intricate oriental design set on maroon with gold and silver designing. Walking over, they sat down lightly in the comfortable, high-backed chairs set daintily about the table. Kagome and Natasni then entered from another set of similar doors across from them, near the large stone fireplace, bowing slightly to the image of Odin (1) before coming to a stop at the table. Kagome smiled to them all, and then motioned for Natasni to sit. As she did so, Kagome came behind Kuwabara's seat, deftly tying a handkerchief around his shoulders, coming together in a knot behind his back.
His cries of, "LET ME OUT!!" echoed through the room, pounding the skulls of still slightly aching heads, causing tempers to flare. Kagome glared at him.
"Shut. UP." He gulped, and slunk back as far as possible in his chair, trying to escape her wrath.
She copied her tying gestured with the rest of them, 'til they were all handkerchiefed to their seats. She smiled, and sat down at the head of the table. Hiei glared at her, and set the small piece of cloth on fire. Everyone blinked as the fire danced along the kerchief, not even leaving a faint scorch mark. She just continued eating, oblivious of their incredulous stares.
Yusuke spoke up first this time. "I'm hungry…so are we eating now?"
Kagome glanced up at him momentarily, before setting her knife thoughtfully against her plate. "Hai, do eat. You need your strength for today's lessons."
-.-; "And how are we supposed to do so when we can't even reach the edge of the plate?!" Natasni demonstrated her point by reaching over, coming inches short of her destination.
Kagome only grinned. "I guess yal are going to have to improvise then, now aren't you?" She speared a small link sausage daintily, cutting it in neat pieces and chewing happily, oblivious to their hunger driven, totally hateful glares.
Natasni rolled her eyes, and turned over what Kagome said to them in her head. *Improvise…hm…* A faint green glow incased her, causing the others to glance over curiously. Holding up her hand palm up, she concentrated solely on an orb. Slowly but surely it formed, and she flicked it towards the table. She was sweating slightly, her eyes narrowed in concentration. It stopped at her glass of water, wavering before gathering about it, slowly floating upwards. A small gasp broke her hard earned concentration, and her green cloud evaporated. The goblet fell down with a clang, ringing against her plate.
"Gosh-piggly-darnable!" She glared at the glass as if it was its fault.
Kagome slowly stood up, walking over to her peeved friend. She placed a soothing hand on Nat's thin shoulder. "Relax. Don't think of the exact way of getting what you want, but of the whole picture of what you want to accomplish."
Natasni slowly nodded, and her eyes drifted closed. Soon, the green cloud was back, now in a deeper and darker shade. She watched through closed eyes as the glass floated surely over to her outstretched hand. She smiled her triumph, and took a sip.
------------
Kagome trotted over to Hiei, who was taking out his frustration on a piece of bacon. She watched with amusement and slight pity on the bacon's part as it shriveled away to nothing. Leaning over, she whispered in his ear, "Relax. Let everything go and focus on the task at hand."
He shivered inwardly at the feel of her warm breath on his ear. Pushing the annoying feeling away, he glared at her. /What am I supposed to do- light the damn thing on fire?! /
She only raised a brow at him. ^Why not look to your other side for guidance? ^ She placed a hand on her hip, waiting for his reply.
He blinked once at her in surprise. *She knew? She knew who and what I am but still talks with me- associates with me?* He blinked, and looked over at the table. The others saw this, and prepared themselves for the slight heat wave that always washed over them when he used his inner powers. They weren't expecting what did occur. The temperature dropped, causing their breath to form small gusts in front of them as the fire flickered out, and its coals died instantly. A small ramp of ice formed from his hand to the basket of rolls as a blue band of power formed around his wrist, and a winter's breeze threw a roll onto it. The food rolled down into his palm, and he blinked at it for a moment before allowing the temperature to become normal, the ice evaporating as the band turned red. The fire started back up, and Hiei looked up to Kagome. She grinned, and nodded. She then glanced over at Yusuke and sighed, walking over…
----------------
"Yusuke! Stop!" She tapped him on the shoulder, trying for his attention. He stopped the energy power up he'd been forming and glared at her.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!" He spat angrily.
She scowled at him and smacked him smartly against the back of the head, causing him to shut up for the moment. "Nimrod." She muttered. "Focus your mind not on what your previous training suggests, but on the task at hand." She sat on the ground next to him and looked up at him expectantly. He sighed and looked at the 'stupid' salt shaker.
Yellow wind whipped around the room, encircling him as a small wisp reached out, picking the shaker up deftly, and hurling the offending object across the room. He looked down as he heard chuckling near his feet.
Kagome was doubled over laughing. "You know, you're supposed to bring it to you, not away."
He blinked. "Yea, well…err…I didn't like the stupid thing anyway, so…yea!"
She rolled her eyes, and looked over to see Kurama with his many plants holding his own three course meal in front of him, bringing what ever he wanted to him with a single thought, and Kuwabara floated up to the table on a big, fluffy, purple cloud. A sweat drop formed at the sight, but she only shook her head, gesturing wither hand to have the chairs push themselves forwards to the table. Rubbing her temples lightly, she sat back down, grabbing her goblet. *Though they catch on quick, this is going to be a long five months...*
-------------------
Months passed, and Kagome taught them all she could, extending their boundaries. She still kept her main past to herself, and almost everything else. She knew all their stories, and respected them for it, even though she harassed them at ever possible moment. She'd even made nicknames for all of them:
Yusuke~ Nimrod
Hiei~ The Three-eyed Tree Sprite
Kurama~ Tree-hugger
Kuwabara~ Stupidity-On-Wheels
And Natasni~ Gallop-fest
Though no one knew quite why she called Natz that. Thinking back, Natasni was the only one who had only told her story to Kagome, having her not tell anyone else. Kagome had only shrugged, not truly wondering as to why, seeing where she didn't want hers publicly known either. At the moment, she was walking through her vast gardens, musing over random thoughts- like how her family was doing. It'd been too long since she'd last seen them, and she knew it'd be a while until she did again. Sighing, she shook her head. Tomorrow she would test their skills…and say good bye. Sad eyes looked over to where her garage was. *Genkai was right…Never become attached if you don't want to face the consequences. How true…* and it was. She'd miss them- even that idiot oaf. A small smile graced her lips, and she jogged over to her garage, slipping through the door.
----------------
Hiei and Kurama were both in the main dojo, sparring. Finally calling a draw, Kurama sat down on the floor, catching his breath as he contemplated how far they'd come. Hiei was now a Fire and Ice master, and beyond skillful with those both and his Jagan Eye. Yusuke was a Wind Former, and beyond talented with his spirit energy, his speed and healing now in tune with any high class demon's. Kuwabara was a mastered telekinetic, and a lot smarter from Kagome's vigilant tutoring and determination. Natasni was a wonderful Lightning sorceress, and a quite talented shape shifter/illusionist- which continued to baffle him to no end. He himself was now beyond a plant extremist, and now also telekinetic to a point. They were all telepathic. And though she'd been there the whole entire time, all five grueling months, they barely knew anything about their taskmistress. Shaking his head, he looked over at his koorime friend. He knew that Kagome's closed off past and life in general annoyed Hiei nonstop…well, that and her amusing nickname for him. He remembered when she'd given both of their names to them.
-Flashback-
"STOP!!!!" Kagome jumped up, floating between both of them. She frowned at Hiei. "Don't jump blindly at people, no matter if they haven't noticed you. Always wait for them to be in a secure area that you can keep under your control, and keep them from getting aid. Seriously man, is this how you always fight?"
"Hn."
"Go figure. Get down here." She frowned at him, dropping to the ground next to Kurama, who was grinning slightly.
"Don't order me, onna. I go where I please."
She rolled her eyes at him. "And that would be a…tree? That's definitely not civilized, not to mention uncomfortable…what are you, a tree sprite?"
"NO!"
She laughed. "Yep. You're a three-eyed tree sprite, with a strange detestation to the ground…" Her eyes twinkled with unrestrained merriment, but she managed to keep most o it within, before turning to the other object of her main scolding as Hiei dropped to the ground. "And you! You would think that the only thing that would ever save you is the grass! Must you always use it?"
"No, I also use other plants, such as my Death Tree, Kagome." He grinned down at her as she glared.
"Alright, you friggen Tree-hugger. You both better start running."
They both had brows raised. "Why?"
She grinned, and her sword rang as it came from its sheath. "Because when I catch your sorry asses, I'm going to beat the pulp out of them until you both realize you have more than one power- so use them!" She ran towards them, as they both high-tailed it across her property.
-End Flashback-
He shrugged, and stood. "I'm going to go see the others. Ja Hiei." He waved once, only receiving a nod in response.
When Kurama left, Hiei did as well, searching for something to do. Randomly running about, he stopped next to a large garage, hearing a clang. Curious, he let himself in, walking slow about, following the muttered curses and clangs of metal against concrete every so often. He stopped at a 1959 Tr3a, a shimmering silver sports car. Bending down, he looked under the frame to see Kagome toss a wrench to the side, picking up a torch. Chucking, he watched her spark it, welding the clamp back to the transmission, locking it in place. Letting the torch die, she placed it to the side, and cracked her knuckles on reflex.
^Could you be useful for once and hand me the three-quarters wrench? ^
He smiled slightly, and then sat down on the ground, looking over the vast amount of tools and such that littered the ground. /I might think about it. What does it look like? /
^Long, Thick handle ¾ written on it, and shiny. No moving parts what so ever, it's got a gape on the top that is Dun… dun… dun… ¾ wide. ^
/Sarcasm. / Going by her description, he picked it up and handed it to her, blushing slightly as her fingers brushed his. Shoving the feeling to the back of his mind, he watched as she tightened random bolts before pushing herself from under her car, rolling out on her mechanic's chair.
*Good ole Snap On…good tools, good service…^_^* She chuckled softly to herself, and floated the tools to herself, placing them all back in their random drawers and tool cases. Dusting her hands off on her ripped jeans, she raised a brow in questioning. "Was there something you had needed?"
He shrugged. /Was wondering what the noise was…and bored…/
She laughed, pulling him gently by the arm. ^Come on, we're going out. ^
/Where to? /
Her eyes twinkled with unrestrained merriment. ^You'll just have to wait and see, now won't you? ^ She dashed ahead of him, catching him by surprise. A mere blur in pursuit, he tackled her just as they got past the concrete, onto the soft grass. Both rolling together down the hill, he ended up on top, smirking down at her. /Gotcha./
She rolled her eyes, officially pouting. About to apologize, his eyes widened as she flipped him over, now lying on top of him. He barely stifled a groan as she subconsciously wriggled on top of him, sending shivers down his spine and filling his head full of…thoughts… Placing his hands on her waist, he pressed her body closer to his instinctively, enjoying her scent as she blushed prettily down at him. Locking his eyes with hers, he was drowning in a sea of stormy blue as he lifted his head up, feeling her reply as she leaned down. Her warm breath mingled with his, lips just moments away-
"OI! Get a room, would ya?!"
Hiei growled, shooting a heated glare at Yusuke that promised a slow and painful death. Yusuke shrugged, used to it by now, and Kagome only laughed. Rolling off him, she extended down a hand, and pulled his up to his feet, trotting over the Yusuke. She flicked him on the forehead, grinning as he spewed insults. Waving them aside, she asked where Natz was. After his answer she glomped him.
"Oomph…what was that for?"
She winked at him. "Why, for being you, of course." With an exaggerated roll of the eyes, she opened a portal. Jumping through, she said casually over her shoulder, "Oh. You boys might want to change…" The portal slammed closed behind her, leaving two slightly…no very confused guys.
---------------------
"Hey Natz!" She trotted in the room to see a scared girl huddled in the corner, her skin glowing. Concerned, Kagome knelt down next to her. "What's wrong?"
"I'm going through my weekly change…they can't see me!" Natasni was nearly hyperventilating, which she did nearly every week as well. *Her secret, not mine…* Kagome thought. Nodding, Kagome stood back up. "I'll stay here with you want…to keep them away?" She smiled in acceptance as Natasni shook her head. "Alright, but when it's over, we're going out, if you wish to come." She chuckled as her friend visibly perked up, and left the room quietly before skipping off to get dressed. *This will be fun…*
-------------------
The guys all met in the hall, wondering what to do. Finally, Kurama shrugged. "Wear something comfortable that you'll think that whomever you like would approve…but Yusuke, make sure Kuwabara doesn't come out in his pajamas…please make it at least a bit classy?" He turned and went into his room, hearing the other's replies of 'Whatever' 'Ok!' and 'Hn' as they left as well.
Hiei looked to his left wall, which was connected to Kurama's room. /Where do you think they're taking us that we have to change, fox? /
Kurama, used to being regular barged out of his thoughts by his koorime friend, mealy shrugged before replying. –I think it might be dinner, or something of the sort…not sure…- He smirked as a bit of Youko's thoughts begged to be voiced. –Wear something that Kagome would think 'sexy' on you. - He quickly slammed the link shut, laughing as a loud 'HN' echoed through the wall. He turned to his closet in good cheer.
-------------------
The guys were now all downstairs, gathered in the living room. They were all wearing some form of black, which was quite surprising for all but Hiei…
Yusuke was sprawled on the loveseat, idly yelling at Kuwabara. He was wearing baggy black jeans with black cloth straps hanging down, with a KoRn shirt toping it off. His hair was slicked back as usual, though his shoes did look a bit polished. Kurama sat serenely in a high back chair nearer to the door, watching out the frame for the girls. Red hair was draped around his slightly broad shoulders, cascading down his dove gray dress shirt, which was slightly tucked into loose dress pants of dark black. He was idly twirling a thick silver chain around his wrist, which the girl on his mind had given him a few weeks ago.
-Flashback-
"Kurama?" Natasni was walking about in the forest where she'd seen Kurama leave for a while ago. Idly flipping something in her hand, she looked back and forth for him, eyes glowing slightly. Grinning from up in the trees above her, he fell down silently behind her, his hair already silvery and his eyes shimmering amber. He tapped her softly on the shoulder. He smirked as she tensed, whirling about in defensive posture. He raised his hands passively, smiling as she smacked him on the arm.
"Kurama! Don't do that!"
He blinked innocently. "Do what, dearest Natasni?"
She rolled her eyes, and smacked him across the back of the head. "You are so dense." They began walking together in a companionable silence, but soon Youko needed something to occupy his mind, and the puzzle of Natasni was just the thing.
"So, my Natasni, what brings you out here?" His head cocked to the side in curiosity.
"Did you know that you seem very possessive? And curiosity killed the cat." She stuck her tongue out at him, retracting it before he could catch it, grinning.
"Ah…true, but satisfaction brought it back, and I happen to be youkai. We just happen to be possessive by nature."
"Oh really? Hadn't known until you told me. What of?" She was watching him from her peripheral view.
"Hn, pity. Now I know that you're not youkai." He grinned at her playfully annoyed look. "Nani?"
"Why are you so bent on finding out whom and what I am?"
He leaned his head on her shoulder as they came to a stop in the clearing, smiling softly down at the ground in his vision. "Because, my dearest Natasni, you are a puzzle. Kitsunes love puzzles. Thus, I have made it my own goal to know about you, besides the fact that I want to know anyway." He smiled up at her, taking her free hand and guiding her to sit on the bank of the small lake. "But for now at least I can move on to other subjects. Now you asked me what are we possessive of. Hm…Good friends, family, mates, our property…things like that. Satisfactory? Good. Going to answer my question now?"
She grinned. He was so very impatient when she had a secret from him. "Hai, Hai, hold your horses." She pulled the small wrapped gift from her long shirt sleeve and handed it gently to him, seeing him blink, reverting to him red haired, jade eyed Suichi. (Yep, I got the movie, and this is how it's spelled.)
"What is this?" he looked at it curiously.
"Because, unlike you, I know everything basically about you by your choice, I remembered that your birthday was a couple weeks ago. You hid it from us, Kurama. Thus, I took it upon myself to give you something."
He blinked in confusion. "Then why wait so long if you knew?"
She grinned. "I had to make it first."
He face faulted anime style before slowly unwrapping the small gift. Something silvery pooled into his hand, and his eyes changed color just looking at it. It was a thick silver (man's) bracelet, with engravements along the inside and along the bracket in the front. In Japanese kanji the bracket read, "Kurama~ my best friend." Along the back it read in French, "Bien que je mai être santé et en nom délabrement, simplement appel et je ou être là-bas, trois temps en être convoquer." He shot her a grateful but slightly confused look. She smiled and translated for him, tapping it once to show him it toggles languages. It now read, "Though I may be broken and in disrepair, merely a call and I shall be there, thrice to be summoned". He smiled softly, looking down at it in wonder.
"What…why…how…eh…Arigato." He smiled up at her. "What does it do?"
She threw her head back, laughing. "Exactly what it says." She ruffled up his hair. "We'd best be getting back before-"
She was cut off as he was suddenly on top of her, and she herself pinned to the ground. Her brow rose in surprise. He nuzzled her neck softly, and purred. "Thank you, my Natasni." His eyes locked with hers, and he bent down, seeing her comply. They were seconds away from bliss when-
"Kuuuuuuuuraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamaaaaaaaa! Oh Kuraaaaaaaammmmaaa!" Kuwabara came crashing through the forestry to stop next to them. "Eh……….bad timing?"
Kurama growled at him, as Natasni chuckled behind her hand. His brow rose and he let a small smile grace his lips. "You find this funny?" She nodded. "Hn. I see how you are. I will get you back for it later." He stood, bringing her up with her. "Now, what did you want, Kuwabara?"
-End Flashback-
He smiled down at the treasured gift of his, both of his natures loving it; Suichi for it being from Natasni and it being such a thoughtful gift, and Youko for it being a great treasure from the one he obsessed over. He shook his head slightly. Kuwabara sneezed, bringing all attention onto him for a moment. He wore an unbuttoned black dress shirt over a white muscle shirt. Lightly faded jeans matched for the rest of his ensemble, and he yelled at Yusuke for his comments. Hiei rolled his eyes, leaning against the far wall as he watched out the window. Baggy black pants had long, silvery chains hanging down and a tight black muscle shirt showed off his lean and tone body. (I just found that, that means thin but muscular ^_^ I'm so smart…*clears throat* Sry, continue…) A long chain hung from his neck, a black crystal pendant hanging on the end. Kurama suddenly cleared his throat, effectively getting their attention.
"They're coming."
-------------------
They seemed to appear at the top of the stairs at once, looking down at the blinking group of guys with a smile. Natasni laughed softly as she saw Kurama counting them. *Hai, there are four of us…* Kagome had made a portal for Keiko and Yukina, allowing them to scavenge her vast walk in closets. They had all done well; of the looks on the guys' faces were any guide. Natasni came down first, her long hair brought into a bun, with curled coppery strands framing her face. She had a shimmering silver handkerchief top and a leather mini skirt that gave a new name to the word 'mini'. Thin heels completed the outfit, causing her legs to seem as if they stretched on for days. She had barely dusted her face with make up, settling for a pale violet eye shadow and a clear lip gloss. Kurama's eyes flickered constantly just looking at her. Next came Keiko, her short hair straightened, then tussled with gel to give her a wet and wild look, going well with her light blue spaghetti strap shirt and very short black shorts. She had dark cobalt eye shadow to bring her beautiful eyes to life and a light lip gloss that shifted between pink and blue in the light. Keiko could swear that Yusuke was drooling. Yukina shyly came next, with sparkling skin-tight jeans on, flaring slightly to end with pink Vans. A baby pink tube top completed her outfit. She had light blue eyes shadow about her stunning red eyes, bringing out their color nicely, and light pink lip gloss, leading to her long green hair flowing freely around her. Last came Kagome, grinning at the guy's expressions of then all. Her hair was brought into a messy bun, the tips of her hair surprisingly orange, along with a few strands of hair that framed her face. She had light gray eye shadow with devilish silver lip gloss. A thin chain exposed her graceful neck down to a small pink jewel on the end which seemed to have a small flaw on the back. She also wore a tube top, though it was black with the Playboy Bunny in silver thread. Her mini skirt was black leather, leading to fishnet clad legs, and ending with tall, thin black heels. They all came down the steps, stopping at the door. As one the stopped at the last step, grinning at the awe-struck guys and waiting patiently. Suddenly finding their manners, all the guys got up at once, offering an arm to their specific lady.
"You look more stunning than usual, Natasni, a feat I hadn't thought possible." Kurama bowed slightly, tucking her hand gently in his arm.
"I could say the same, Kurama, but it would be rude to use such a beautiful compliment twice, though it'd be suitable." She smiled up at him, hugging his arm to herself gently, and laughing as he blushed lightly.
"Yukina, my love! I must say that you are the most beautiful being to ever walk the Earth, and now more than ever!" Kuwabara grinned down at her as she chuckled, leaning on his arm.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Thank you for making the rest of us feel bad, Kuwabara." She shook her head, leaning against the wall slightly.
Yusuke came behind Keiko, hugging her to him gently. "You're gorgeous."
She smiled. *Simple and sweet as always.* "Arigato, Yusuke."
And lastly, Hiei walked slowly up to Kagome, kissing the back of her hand as he bowed low, much to everyone else's (but Kagome's) surprise. /You look…words can't describe your beauty. /
She blushed heavily. "Thanks," she whispered, a small smile resting on her lips. Wrapping her arm gently around his, she looked up at the shell shocked friends of theirs. "Well? Ready?"
"Where to, ladies?" Kurama looked at them expectantly.
"Why, clubbing of course!"

I'm guessing though that you mean Kuwabara, and yes, I do know that in the show he's not THIS stupid, I just happen to like making fun of him…so…anyway…
Blue fox demon: I'm glad to supply the update! More coming soon!
THANK YOU ALL FOR REVIEWING!
And now, I'm going through to my random stupidity…^_~
**VaSr: WHOA! I'm rushed! I have to get this up asap!
InuYasha: Then why are you still here?
Kagome: WHOA! He's being rational!
InuYasha: YEA?! WHAT OF IT?!
**VaSr: *sweat drop* Eh…
Hiei, Kurama, and the rest of the gang: *slowly back away*
**VaSr: Uhm…
InuYasha: WHAT?!
**VaSr: *growls* Don't you DARE yell at ME!
InuYasha: I'M YELLING! NOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?!
**VaSr: *typing is heard*
InuYasha: AAAAGGGGGHHHH!
Hiei: Whoa, those are better flames than I can create…
Kurama: Quite a feat, I'm sure…
Shippou: We're leaving now, but wait! LOOK!
