A/N: Lalala... I got back in the Mary-Sue mocking mood again! Fun fun fun! Hmmm...for some reason, ff.net seems to be editing out quite a bit of the symbols. It seems to be deleting my asterisks and such. I wonder, if I post this without saving it as a Web Page, would it keep the symbols? I'll have to try that. If the formatting looks a little off, that's why. Oh well...Enough of my complaining, and one with the fic! Well, on with the disclaimer, then on with the fic.

Disclaimer: I only own Crystal and Sakura. My brother owns Tara. I wonder if anyone would be willing to trade me Sakura for Kurama? No? I thought not. Sigh

Attack of the Mary Sues!

By Amethyst Bubble

----------------------

By now it was quite late in the evening, and quite depressed. Actually, that's not true. Yoko was very content snuggling with Kuronue, and Kuronue was just confused. Well, you can't blame him, one second you're enjoying the afterlife, the next you're in some strange metal fortress being glomped on by your former thieving partner/lover.

Poor Kurama had regained consciousness a few hours ago, seen Yoko, and promptly fainted...again. Sigh. Under the gaze of a very, very irritated fire youkai, Crystal had untied both Kurama and Hiei, whimpering all the while. She had long since retired to her little corner, busy doing something on her cell phone.

Sakura couldn't put her finger on it, but something seemed awfully suspicious about Crystal's behavior. The female youko sauntered (because Mary Sues, as you know, don't walk, they saunter seductively) up to her friend and asked, "What are you doing?"

Crystal looked up, a surprised look on her face. That surprised look was quickly replaced with a frown, "Why do you want to know?"

"Oh, he's too busy paying attention to MY Kurama, so you can just drop your act!" Sakura hissed, pointing at Hiei, who had the unconscious Kurama (the human one, mind you, Yoko was busy doing...things...with Kuronue) in a protective embrace.

Crystal pouted a bit, "Just text messaging my mother."

"But I thought you could only call her once a week?" Sakura asked, blinking. Something was definitely wrong here. Too bad she was a pretty Mary Sue and not a brainy one, or she could have figured it out.
"Uhh, yeah...but I'm allowed to text message her as much as I want." Crystal said, playing with one of her pigtails nervously. "Plus, it saves minutes, ya know?"

"Oh, I totally see where you're coming from with the minutes!" Sakura said, rolling her eyes, "You'd think they'd give a gorgeous girl like me a better plan for less money, but noooo..." Suddenly, a thought struck Sakura. GASP! Maybe she has a brain after all! "They let you have cell phones in prison?"

"Uhhhh..."

A few feet away, emerald eyes blinked open, and Kurama found himself in Hiei's arms. Well, this certainly was a nice way to wake up. He attempted to look around, but Hiei placed a hand on his head, stopping him from moving his head.

"Kitsune," the fire demon began slowly. The last thing he wanted was Kurama seeing Yoko and passing out for the THIRD time. He was starting to think the authoress had a bit of an obsession with an unconscious Kurama. "I want you to listen closely, and not freak out and faint...again."

Kurama blinked, "What is it?"

"You see, that idiot," Hiei glanced at Tara, who was sitting in one of the many chairs (for a steel fortress, the place was remarkably well furnished), hugging her spell book to her chest and muttering something in a rather maniacal way. "She cast some sort of...spell on you."

"What did this spell do, exactly?" Kurama asked, a rather worried look in his green eyes.

Hiei played with his koi's hair for a moment, "It-"

"It didn't turn me into a girl, did it?" Kurama gripped Hiei's arm tightly, a look of panic on his face.

"...No." Hiei said, raising an eyebrow at Kurama.

"That's good," The red-head let out a sigh. Getting turned into a girl happened to him on a surprising basis in fanfiction.

"The spell...well, it separated Yoko from you."

"Eh?"

"Look over there," Hiei pointed. Kurama eyes followed the direction the fire demon was pointing at, landing on his demon form, and...

"Kuronue?" Kurama eyes darted from Kuronue, to Yoko, and then back to Hiei, "Hiei, what's going on here?"

"That was the effect of another little spell."

"Oh..."

From her corner, Tara grinned. She'd managed to remember a few little things about spell casting she'd forgotten. Like that you should create a mental picture of what you want to happen. Go figure.

Anyway, Tara, having remembered a those things, was grinning evilly. Oh, she had a plan. And that plan involved her true love, Urameshi Yusuke. Tara sighed dreamily, then she put on her serious face again. No, she couldn't go soft. Last time that happened, she forgot a boat load of magic information. But now, now that she had remembered that previously forgotten information, she could summon –insert dreamy sigh here- Yusuke.

If this did not spell disaster, then nothing does.

Kuronue: Our review hungry authoress is away, probably videotaping some smutty JinxTouya scene. She wishes to say some things. First of all, in the next chapter Yusuke, Jin, Touya, and a few surprise characters will arrive. Yay. Secondly, she wishes that you leave a review, as they make her sugar high.
