Notes: I give up! The three of you who reviewed saying you wanted me to continue were persistent. Especially Sasami. I finally got an idea, so Pen Pals is back! Special thanks to you three who wanted me to continue. And thanks to all my faithful reviewers. You guys are the best!

Pen Pals 21: Not Again!

I walked into the den with a smile on my face. "What did the doctor say?" asked Sarah, "Are you sick?" "No," I said. Bria smiled. She knew what was going on. "You might wanna sit down dad," she said. Hiei sat down. "Make room for one more in this family," I said, "We're having another baby." Hiei fainted. Sarah, Bria, and I cracked up. "Score one more!" said Jessica, Bria's daughter. "What's the latest news from Tiro?" I asked. "He's coming to Tokyo for Summer Vacation," said Jessica, "I feel sorry for Grandpa." "He had it coming," I said, "It's his fault the baby's coming in the first place." "Aren't you too old to have kids?" asked Sarah. "I'm not that old," I said. "Jessica's not even two yet, and she can sing and dance just as well as any of us," said Bria. "She is a part demon," I said, "Fire apparition and Kitsune. Be glad she's not part Viper like me. Then she'd be teething on trees and we'd have a dead garden." We all cracked up.

"No way!" said Kelly, "Katsu is coming too! Katrina just told me about it." "Jason says that Sandra is visiting this summer as well," said Sam. "How much you wanna bet the kids fall in love with their pen pals?" I asked, an excited grin on my face. "Just like what happened to us?" asked Kelly. "Of course," said Sam, "And I agree. They're gonna fall for them." "I agree too," said Kelly. "Not Jessica," said Bria, "She's only two." "Jason certainly will," said Sarah. "So will Katrina," said Kadi. "I bet Terry and Tikiro are excited," said Kelly. "They are," said Sarah. "We all are," said Kadi.

"Three generations," said Caina, "And I'm no longer a part of them." "Yes you are," said Botan, "Just because you're the only one of your friends that's still single, doesn't mean you're not their friends anymore." "Whatever mom," said Caina. "I'm sorry," said Koenma(teen form through out all of the fic), "But there's nothing we can do." "You're the king of Spirit World!" cried Caina. "Yes," said Koenma, "But I still can't do anything about your boyfriend problem." "You won't even let me out of this place unless I'm going to a concert or a party with the others!" said Caina, "You never let me meet new people!"

Hiei, Bria, Jessica, and I raced towards the door. I won again. When I opened the door, a young man about Bria's age was there. He had wavy brown hair and silver eyes. He reminded me of Koenma. "Hello," he said, "You must be Mrs. Jaganshi. I'm Tiro." "Hey Tiro," I said, "Just call me Jess, I hate being formal." Tiro and I laughed. Hiei glared at him. "Are you still 'Overprotective Boyfriend'?" I asked him. "Yes," said Hiei. We all laughed.

We all sat in the park. Bria and Kyano were playing Checkers. Jessica and Tiro were making faces at each other. Hiei and I were watching. "Jess!" I looked up to see Kelly and the others. A young man about Katrina's age and a girl of about Jason's age were with them. The guy had red hair just like Katrina. But his eyes were gold instead of green. The girl had golden hair like Jason and the same amber eyes. You guys must be Katsu and Sandra," I said, "Nice to meet you." "They just happen to be friends with Tiro," said Katrina. "Wow," I said, "Kinda like us, huh Sam?" "Yeah," said Sam, "Creepy, ne Kelly?" "Definitely," said Kelly.

I opened the door. "Koenma! Botan! Caina!" I cried, "We haven't seen you guys for ages!" "We heard you have visitors," said Koenma. "Caina's been complaining about how we never let her meet new people," said Botan. "I'm sure she'd love Tiro," I said, "He's her age, single, and Jessica's pen pal." "Wow," said Koenma.

By the end of July, Caina and Tiro were dating, Katrina and Katsu were a couple, and Sandra and Jason were inseparable. Tiro still spent a lot of time with Jessica. Hiei finally gave up on trying to scare Tiro.

August came quickly. On the 30th I woke up early. Hiei wasn't there. "Hey Shorty!" I called, "Where are you?" "You're just as short as I am," said Hiei from behind me. I turned and hugged him. When I released him, Hiei handed me a gift. I opened it. It was a photo album with pictures of everything that had happened since we met. I hugged him again. "Enough with the hugs," said Hiei. I smirked and kissed him. The others were waiting downstairs. I got a charm bracelet from Bria and Kyano, an emerald kimono from Kelly and Kurama, a stack of Manga from Sam and Kuwabara, a new outfit from Terry and Kadi, a book bag from Tikiro and Sarah, and a box of hair things from Botan and Koenma. I received a viper pendant from Caina and Tiro, a new fiction book from Jason and Sandra, and a miniature fox figurine from Katrina and Katsu. Bria handed me two small packages. I opened the first. Inside was a small photo album with pictures from Jr. High. I smiled as I read the card. "BreAnna," I said. The next package was filled with small trinkets, photos, and CD's. My eyes watered up as I read the card. "It's from Chris," I said. Then Hiei handed me a journal. "It's from all of us," he said. The card had everyone's signature, including BreAnna's and Chris's. I smiled and opened the journal. Each page had an Anime pic. "Thanks everyone," I said.

August 30th

Today for my birthday I received many wonderful gifts. I even got something from BreAnna. And Chris sent some trinkets he found over the years. I'm so glad to hear from them again. I only just received this journal and will put my deepest thoughts here from now on. Tiro and Sandra are wonderful. Katsu, however, makes me feel uneasy. He has a familiar aura about him. Almost vulpine. He has a familiar scent, although I can't place it. The others don't seem to notice it. I know I've sensed that aura before, at least twice. I don't trust Katsu at all. I could just be paranoid, but I've never been wrong before. That's all for tonight. I'm exhausted. Ja ne!

~Jess~

AN: That's how I'll end each chapter from now on. If you can recognize why I don't trust Katsu, then you win a prize! You'll never guess in a million years! Well anyway, I'm really glad to be updating this fic. I know I only got three reviews asking to continue, but I also don't want this fic to end. And I'm gonna be putting in a preview of the next chapter form now on.

'I no longer trust Tiro. He acts so familiar. I sense a koorime aura about him. I still don't trust Katsu. Why, I don't know. But I can't ignore it any longer. There's something familiar about those two, and I don't like it.'

"No way!" ~
"Yeah, he was innocent too." ~
"We'll have to break him out!" ~
"Both of their dads." ~
"Right!"

"Katsuya and Tiori are gone!" ~
"What!?!" ~
"They've somehow escaped!" ~
"You've got to be kidding!" ~
"I wish we were."

Is that enough of a preview to get you to review? I sure hope so. I need reviews to inspire me. Well, you don't' have to review, but I'd like you to.

Bria: Please review!

Jessica: More reviews, more incentive to update.

Kelly: More incentive, faster updates.

Sam: Flame if you like, but you'll regret it.

Okaaaaay. Well, please review! Ja ne! ~Portal-girl
