As the trio continued to walk to Kuwabara's place they found Kurama leaving a candy shop.

"Hey! Kurama." Karona said. "I thought that your were at Kuwabara's."

"I was, but they didn't have any candy so I offered to go get some." Kurama said with a smile.

After five minutes of walking they finally made it to Kuwabara's house. It was smaller then where she lived but it was a nice looking house. When they walked in they saw Kuwabara sitting on the couch next Yukina. Yusuke was sitting on a chair next to the couch.

"It's about time you guys got here." Yusuke said.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Karona said. "I had to go and pick up my uniform."

"Now that everyone is here lets eat." Yusuke said.

The picnic was nice. Karona hung out with Hiei most of the time, but sometimes would help Yukina Pick up after the boys, or still her away from Kuwabara to talk about girl stuff.

"So what school ate you going to?" Yukina asked.

"The same one as Kurama." Karona answered.

"Hey girls come on you're missing all the fun." Kurama yelled.

"Be there in a minute." they both yelled at the same time, and ran over to the boys.

The sun started to set as the picnic ended. Everyone was dripping wet from head to foot from the water fight they had. Kuwabara, Yukina, and Yusuke said goodbye and went home.

"We had better be off to." Kazie said.

"I guess you're right." Karona said.

"We'll see you in a few days then." Kurama said as he walked over to Karona and gave her a hug.

Karona's eyes were fixed upon Hiei. She felt like a part of her was saying goodbye forever as an new one was saying hello. Karona walked over to Hiei. She just looked at him for a moment, before taking her eyes away from him.

"See you in a few days." she said, as she started to walk away. "And stay out of my room while I'm gone."

Karona took her place by Kazie's side. The both waved goodbye and disappeared.

"Can we go now." Hiei said.

"Yeah, let go home now." Kurama said as the started walking home.

Karona and Kazie just arived at the cat village in demon world. This was the one place she didn't want to be right now. As they walked down the street other cat demons started to bow down as she walked by. As they continued to walk they reached a castle type building.

"Home sweet home." Karona said.

"Don't be distressed my queen." Kazie said. "It will all be over shortly.

"Its not the ceremony that I am worried about." she said.

"Then what is it my queen?" Kazie asked.

"Its my parents." Karona told him as they walked into the castle.

The castle was big and had many hallways in it. Each hall way was different from the last.

"Why me?" Karona asked herself, as she entered the ceremonial chamber.

"Why are you so late Karona." a women snarled at her.

"I was on a picnic with my friends, Mother." Karona said.

"Karona please do not speak to your mother like that." came a mans voice, it was softer and more caring then her mother's had been.

"Yes father." she said.
