that I drew............... of Kurama, Hiei, and Sesshoumaru. As soon as my scanner

Chapter 5 Secrets and Revealings
Kurama was the first to awaken to the smell of cooking fish. He opened his eyes and saw Sikuna not even a foot away from him. He leapt up, cheeks flaming.
"Oh, do not be embarrassed. I was cooking the fish and I noticed that your nose was twitching. I came to get a closer look, and you woke up," Sikuna explained.
"Oh."
Slowly, everyone awoke, except Hiei.
"We are so glad that you are awake!" Boton and Yukina said in unison. Kuwabara and Yusuke proclaimed something similar, and were about to dig into the bountiful feast when Sikuna interrupted.
"Wait a moment. Hiei is not here yet. I will go and get him." She flew to the lower branches and climbed the remainder of the way. Hiei was groaning in his sleep, and breathing heavily. Sikuna, worried, poked him in the shoulder. He shot up in a cold sweat, and whispered harshly,
"Stay away from my sister, ningen!"
Hiei looked around, and paled when he saw Sikuna.
"Please do not tell anyone that I have a sister. I cannot tell you why, but no one can know , not even any of the group members, alright? Do not tell anyone!"
"Your secret is safe. If you want, I will exchange a secret with you for telling me one, even if you didn't mean to."
Hiei's will power failed as curiosity took over.
"What is it?"
"I have never used my powers in my life other than the time the villagers caught me with the trees."
"You told me something important enough, but it cannot be considered a secret, because the others need to know."
"Why?"
"Because not only do you not know your powers or your type of demon you are...neither do I."
"What will I do? I don't want to be experimented on!" Sikuna was becoming hysterical, and Hiei didn't want that.
"Quit your pathetic crying! It won't help. Here is your first lesson. Don't show emotion. Enemies are always nearby, and allowing them to see how weak you are emotionally gives them an advantage. Understand?" she nodded, and had stopped crying during his amazingly long speech.
"Is this better?" she asked.
"For a start. Your eyes are puffy. Tell me a secret worth keeping, since the other one needs to be told."
"It's kind of embarrassing, but... IthinkthatyouandKuramaarebishonens!" Sikuna muttered fast and almost inaudibly, blushing furiously.
"One: Do not show emotion. Two: Thanks."
Her head shot up.
"I have never been called that before. I must admit, you surprised me."
Before she could say anything, Hiei leapt from the tree and was pushing Yusuke and Kuwabara from the fire.
"Hey, onna! You have burning fish down here!"
Sikuna jumped from the branch, and gently glided down into the clearing. She wrenched the fish from the spit and began to frantically smother the flames.
"Who likes well done?" she asked sheepishly. Before she could move, both Kuwabara and Yusuke had their grip on each end. Seeing the distress on Sikuna's face, Kurama summoned Rose Whip and neatly sliced the fish in half.
"Nice aim. I like your whip," Sikuna complimented, as she placed another fish on the spit.
"Thank you."
"Oh, there is some fish that was cooked, and not burned," she said, pointing to the nearby basket.
"This fish is the last one. Eat and enjoy, everyone!" Sikuna sat on an old log and watched the others eat.
"Would you like some, Sikuna?" asked Yukina.
"Yeah, won fome?" asked Yusuke, his mouth bulging.
"Don't talk with you're mouth full, Yusuke!" Boton chided.
"It is quite alright, I have already eaten, and it is nice to know that Yusuke enjoys my cooking well enough to ask and eat as much as possible at the same time. Eat all you want. I will get more if you are still hungry. The rabbit stew was still much better than anything that I could cook, though."
The boys blushed, however, Hiei was less red than the others.
"Look, Kurama's face is as red as his roses!" chuckled Yusuke. Kurama was so red, that at this comment, his face turned a little purple. Everyone, even Hiei, laughed at this. At least, in his head. Sikuna heard, and laughed even harder. Slowly, their faces returned to normal colors.
"Alright, now that we have finished eating, we need to talk. I know why you are here, but now I want to know WHAT you all are. None of us can be normal humans, because of the forest. I know that Kurama is a kitskune. How about you, Yukina?" Sikuna said rapidly.
"Well, I am an ice demon," Yukina shyly whispered. Before Sikuna could ask, Boton answered.
"I am Death, or the Grim Reaper." Sikuna arched an eyebrow, grinned, and nodded.
"What about you, Hiei?" she asked.
"I choose not to answer," he muttered. I am a fire demon, she heard him think towards her.
"Party pooper!" cried Yusuke. "Can't even tell someone what you are!"
"Yusuke," Sikuna whispered. "I noticed that your hair tends to go flat at the top of your head. Why is that? I think that I will use my psychic powers to find out." She rolled her eyes to the back of her head, and used a dry, raspy voice to say,
"I see a creature, who is blue and flies with it's ears. It sits upon your head, and cries one word...Puu!" Sikuna fixed her eyes and saw Yusuke shake, nervous.
"Someone told you."
"No. I saw it all in my head," she replied truthfully, and glanced at Hiei and Kurama, who were trying hard not to grin.
Good job. I did not need your help, though, she heard Hiei think.
Nice way to avoid fighting. It was funny, too. Kurama thought. They couldn't stand it any longer. Hiei turned so that no one could see him smile, and both Kurama and Sikuna started laughing.
This caused everyone else to look at the trio in confusion. Sikuna, after catching her breath, explained her new found power.
"...and Hiei's memory was when Puu sat on Yusuke's head."
The group laughed, and a thought came to Boton.
"Hey, if we can communicate to Sikuna with our minds, can she send messages back?"
"Try it, Sikuna! Please?" Yukina cried out. Sikuna nodded, and began to concentrate of the feeling when flying. She sent out her point of view, as well.
"Wow! That's better than flying on an oar!"Boton exclaimed.
"I feel so peaceful," Yukina murmured.
"I like it. It helps me think," Sikuna replied. Then she remembered.

P.S.
Should I take out Yukina, Boton, and Kuwabara from the story when I next edit? I accidentally wrote another cool thing in either chapter 2 or 3, and I'm having a hard time putting them in. So, should I? Please review and tell me!
