The Internet kind of failed at my house for a while, but I finally got this chapter up. Ok, just so you know, Italics mean telepathic talking and ' ' mean thinking. Wouldn't want you to get confused or anything. Oh, and sorry about the short chapters, they'll get longer soon, I promise!!! Enjoy!

Chapter 4- "Something More"

Yukina and Akemi finished making dinner and walked back into the living room, where Kurama and Hiei suddenly became very quiet.
"You two look like you're having lots of fun," Yukina said smiling, as she and Akemi sat on the couch. As soon as they did so, Akemi had another question.
"Yukina, aren't you going to get eh door?"
"What?" Yukina asked, confused.
"The door," Akemi repeated, "I think your friends are outside." Everyone stared at her, until there was a knock at the door. Yukina, with a shocked expression on her face, slowly stood up and opened the door.
Kuwabara immediately burst into the room, talking as he did so, "Where are they? Where are they?" He quickly walked into the living room. Yusuke and Keiko came walking into the "house" much more calmly than their friend.
"Hello, Keiko, Yusuke, come in. Kuwabara sure did," Yukina said.
"What is he so excited about?" Keiko asked, they could hear Kuwabara in the living room, "Hi, I'm Kazuma Kuwa--"
"Just call him Kuwabara," Yusuke said as he walked into the living room, Keiko and Yukina behind him.
"Hey!" Kuwabara protested while everyone else laughed. (Except for Hiei, of course) "Akemi, this is Yusuke and Keiko." Yukina informed her. They all said their greetings. "Dinner's ready, just have to set the table," Yukina announced and walked into the kitchen.
"I'll help, Yukina," Akemi said, and walked into the kitchen.
"Yeah, me too," Keiko said, and started to walk to the kitchen as well.
"Why don't we all help, for crying out loud?" Yusuke stated, earning himself a cuff (hit) to the back of his head by Keiko before she walked into the kitchen.
As soon as the girls were out of the room, Kuwabara and Yusuke both sat on the couch.
"So, what happened? Why is she here?" Yusuke asked, eagerly.
"And where's the other one?" Kuwabara insisted.
"Sayori's location is remaining unknown to us to confirm that Sayori and Akemi won't try to find each other, and therefore place them both in danger," Kurama explained casually. Kuwabara stared at him with his mouth slightly open.
"You need to speak slower, Kurama. The idiot can't comprehend that much information at one time," Hiei stated from the corner of the room.
"Hey!" Kuwabara said again, but withdrew it when he received a death glare from Hiei.
"So why would they be in danger?" Yusuke asked, "Are her powers that strong?"
"Koenma obviously thinks so. He thinks she possesses some rare power. He didn't explain what it is, just the symptoms. He's not even sure what they are," Kurama said.
"What are some of the symptoms?" Yusuke asked, just as Yukina came walking back into the room. "Dinner's all ready. Come on." The boys slowly stood up, "Later" Kurama said, "Later." They walked to the table as everyone took their seats.

(A/N: I don't think what they eat is important, so I'm just going to describe their conversations.)

"So, Akemi, do you have any idea how long you'll be staying here?" Keiko asked, interested since she wasn't there earlier when Boton had told everyone what was going on.

"No idea," Akemi answered, "Koenma just said that this was the safest place for me at the moment and left it at that."

"What about your sister?" Kuwabara asked from across the table. Akemi laughed.

"Koenma said we shouldn't be together for a while because I would be putting her in danger, I'm not sure why, though," she added.

"Koenma isn't sure either," Kurama explained, "He's just taking precautions for a while to see if anything else happens."

"What else could happen?" Yukina asked curiously.

"He's not sure, that's why he's not taking any risks. Of Akemi or Sayori being captured again." Kurama answered. Akemi didn't say anything at first...captured?

"I don't even know why they would want to capture either of us," Akemi wondered out loud, "Sayori doesn't have any powers and I can't really do anything with mine."

"Perhaps there's something else you don't know about. Something more." Kurama answered, Hiei now staring at him, like he was worried about something.

What are you thinking, Fox?

Nothing, Hiei, this just gives her something to think about.

As long as she doesn't think too much, Koenma doesn't want her to know anything else.

I know that, but if she discovers it on her own, it's not our fault, is it?

Hn.

Exactly.Hiei stared menacingly at Kurama, then stood up and left the table.

"What's his problem?" Yusuke asked as Hiei left the room.

"Oh, he's fine, he's just being himself," Yukina said heedlessly. Kurama took no unusual notice, and they all carried on with their conversation.

Akemi was deep in thought as Yusuke and Kuwabara started talking about something else. 'What was Kurama trying to say? Was he repeating something Koenma had told him, or was he just guessing?' She was confused. She didn't know what kind of powers she had, or why they were so important. What were they not telling her? They didn't seem as confused as her, why not? She could guess, that was it...right?

"Akemi? Akemi?" Akemi was broken from her train if thought as Keiko finally got her attention, "Are you ok?" Akemi shook her head.

"Yeah, I just dozed off for a minute."

"Well, everyone is done eating, and I'm going to clean off the table, so you wouldn't mind moving would you? Unless you want to stay here, that's completely understandable," She added with a laugh.

"No, that's ok," She smiled and stood up, "Where's Yukina?"

"Um, over there, I think," Keiko answered, pointing towards the kitchen. Akemi nodded and walked towards the direction Keiko had pointed in. Yukina was cleaning up the kitchen when Akemi approached her.

"Yukina, I'm kind of tired, I think I'm going to go to bed."

"Ok, Akemi, I know it's been a long day for you. So get your rest, you're going to need it tomorrow when you start your training," Yukina said. "Yeah, well, good night."

"Good night." She wasn't really tired, but she wasn't fully awake either. She wanted to go to her quiet room and think, think. About what she didn't know, but yet, she knew there was a lot to think about. She walked into her room and turned on the light. She didn't like the dark, she never had. Ever since the night her mother died, she hated the dark. But yet, it seemed to follow her everywhere. Wherever she went, someone always made sure of that. She walked to her bed and collapsed, exhausted.

She closed her eyes, but didn't fall asleep. She laid there momentarily before sitting back up and walking to the dresser at the other side of the room. She opened up the drawers one by one and was surprised to see them full of clothes. Her clothes. She was a little taken aback by this, but overlooked it and took out something appropriate to sleep in before changing, and slowly crawled into bed.

Start Dream/Flashback

The room was dark, small and dark. Akemi didn't like it at all. Where was her mother? Why would she leave her like this? Where was she, what happened? She cuddled up into a ball and leaned against the cold, hard wall.
"Akemi? Is that you?" She felt a cold hand brush past hers.
"Yes," She answered, barely more than a whisper.
"Where's mother? What happened, where are we?" Akemi shuddered as her twin sister asked her the same questions she was asking herself.
"I don't know."

Two days passed. Two days of the terrible cold and dark. Two days with no idea of what was going to happen when they got out of there, if they got our of there. Two days of dark and fear.

A door opened. The girls looked up towards the light. Akemi screamed. She found herself flat on the ground with her face to floor. The light hurt, after all the darkness, the light was unbearable. Akemi wanted so bad to look at the light, the light she had been longing for for two days. But she couldn't, it hurt, it hurt to look at the light.

She felt someone grab her from around her waist and pull her up. She kept her eyes closed, not wanting to know what was going on. She didn't hear her sister. Why wasn't she screaming or doing anything else? Akemi wasn't sure she wanted to know. She kept her eyes closed as she felt herself being carried to whatever the future had in store for her next.

End Dream/Flashback

She sat up, panting and sweating as she did so. She had been getting nightmares like this more often lately. Nightmares, flashbacks, all of that. She wouldn't really mind if her whole past wasn't something she wanted to forget forever. But it couldn't be helped. She tried, but it couldn't be helped. She looked around the room, as if to see someone, or something there.

'I must have been really tired.' It was morning. Akemi got out of bed and just stared blankly out the window, hoping she wouldn't have to suffer any more flashbacks for the rest of the day.
