With an unmatched fury, Senseita drove her fist into the table, crushing it in one blow.

"This isn't fair!" she thundered, "I didn't do anything!"

She stood abruptly and stormed out of the restaurant. The lights flickered and burned out as the door slammed behind her. Hiei simply sat there, his eyes barely changing in emotion.

What is going on? he thought, This doesn't make any sense. Of all the unlawful things Enma has done, this one is by far the most illogical. Why would my friendship with her be so dangerous? Kurama was one thing, but this.

"Oh dear," remarked Kurama, "This doesn't bode well."

He gave him a grave look. Hiei returned it with a sad nod. Botan clammered to leave.

"Hold it," snapped Hiei, "Don't move an inch!"

He lept from his seat and faced her. His feelings were slowly beginning to take hold. Slow as they were, they were firey, like he was.

She fell backwards and nervously faced him as well.

"I demand an explaination," he growled, "Unless, you want a facelift of sorts."

He pulled his scabbard from its secure location at his belt. He glared at her sharply as he awaited an answer.

"Koenma didn't tell me anything, only that Lord Enma put it forth," Botan stammered. "Please, I know you're angry, but don't hurt me! Don't kill the messenger!" she covered her face with her arms and slinked back. "Senseita is a wonderful girl, I understand that and all and I get how you..."

"Stuff it!" Hiei cut in, "I don't need to hear anymore of this nonsense," he glanced at Kurama. "Do you want me to talk to her?" he asked, not quite sure of what exactly to do.

"If you think it'll help," responded Kurama. "When she gets like this I don't know what to do Hiei."

"Feel?" Botan finally finished, slipping away.

The manager of the Denny's was having a nervous breakdown. He found his way to thier destoried table as Botan left. He was an older man, with greying hair and a constantly worried eyes.

"Um, sirs?" he said to Kurama and Hiei, "What did your lady friend do to this table? "

He paused for a moment.

"Better yet, what did she do to the lights?" he added, "I know nothing broke."

Yusuke stood up.

"Ah, well, she kinda....." he tried to explain, "No what she did was.......Actually its an astronomical thing.....no that's not right......... you see when you get a fox and a demon......nope that's not it either.......when in Rome do as the..........darn! how am I gonna put this?..................................," he scratched his head and chin several times as he talked.

"Stop Urameshi before you hurt yourself," Kuwabara chimed in.

He stood and attempted his own version.

"You see the arrangement of the planets along with several thousand comets besides Jupiter dictated that this event would happen," he explained. "When the the Sun and Pluto aline, chaos will come down."

He had no clue what he was talking about.

The manager snuck to the kitchen in the middle of this ludicrious explaination. It was enough just to hear Yusuke's bits and pieces of a reply. Kuwabara's brainless words were far worse.

"I'd had it with this," said Hiei, and he headed towards the door.

"Hiei, are you alright?" asked Kurama.

He pulled himself from his seat and dusted himself off.

"I'm fine," snapped Hiei, "Leave me alone."

Senseita walked furiously along the concrete, paying no mind to the cars that zoomed past her furvorously. There was one thing on her mind right now and that pounding something, or someone.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind that knocked her from her feet and onto the pavement of the sidewalk. Had it been any more powerful, it would've blown as fast as tornado winds.

"What the......?" she exclaimed. "Even the weather's being a pain!"

She shielded herself from it with her arm and pulled herself up. As she did, the furious blowing grew stronger and more manevolent. It was as if the wind wanted to kill her.

"SENSEITA!" an all too fimilar voice roared, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Forming himself in a illision of light and mist, was King Enma himself.

"Do you understand why you're being punished further?" he demanded, "Do you comprehend why you have brought this upon yourself?"

"No," sneered Senseita, "DO remind me."

"In the past six months, you have failed to comply with the requirements given to you under your banishment. Even at this very moment, the demon Raditz lies comfortably, his power going unchecked," Enma informed her. "You have failed to prove me that you have reformed yourself. As such, I have dealt another extension of the restraining order against your team. Go any further and you will not only have Raditz taken from you, but you will placed in a high security prision."

The illusion faded with the wind, leaving her tossed about and rather disoriented.

"Great," she moaned, "I hardly do anything to upset the guy and he bashes me anyway. It wasn't as if Raditz wasn't well monitered, I can sense him from here," she sighed. "I'm sorry Hiei," she finished mournfully.

"Don't be."

His voice was calm and sutle. He didn't need to stress his point to her.

She turned to see Kurama and Hiei standing a few feet away. Both were otherwise silent. No words could calm anyone at this point. No words could help anything. They never could.

"Guys," she noted, standing up. "I didn't think you'd follow me."

"What else could we do?" asked Kurama, "After the way you reacted in the restuarant."

He slowly approached her. Hiei followed. But she turned her back to them.

"I never did anything," she grumbled. "I don't see why Enma finds all this necessary. I may've been a thief like you two, but c'mon. This is insain!"

Kurama put his hand on her shoulder and she turned back towards him. The siblings locked eyes again. The next thing anybody knew, they were in each others' arms. They were inseperable like this. Everyone knew it.

Hiei cleared his throat. He cared very little for mundane sentimentality like this. It was his nature. To him, there were more efficent and less annoying ways to show affection. If he felt any at all towards someone.

"Sorry," Senseita put foreward again, pulling back.

"Don't be," Hiei repeated. "Just watch it on the waterworks when the time comes. I hate crying."

She knelt down and teasingly ran her fingers through his bangs. The action quickly brought back memories of times past beside campfires and tall trees. Hiei could feel himself melting down at her presence (not that he'd ever tell anyone).

He aggressively grabbed her hand, but his fingers curled between hers and in vice versa. It was reminiscent of an old training session where he had assisted her in unlocking her spirit power. Soon, a flood of dark and light energy combined themselves through thier hands. It was fireworks display of conflicting and conjoining power. For a moment, the two powerful forces and spirits became one.

Only Yukina could do this to me, he thought, until she and the others came along. But, I'm still wondering about Raditz, he and his misled claims. It isn't fair, what all this means for us, particularly him. Something must be done in order to hold all of the team together,

Senseita let go and stood up.

"I think now would be a great time to check up on that ole buddy of ours, how about it?" she suggested, " If Raditz needs to be monitered so gosh darn closely well, by god, that's what I'll do."

"There's the Senseita I know," remarked Kurama, with a brotherly grin.

Hiei shoved his hands in his pockets and stared at the ground.

"You can count me out Senseita," he said, trying to be nice but failing immensely, "I don't ever want to set eyes on that good for nothing slime ever again. Go without me."

"Hiei, he's just confused," she insisted. "You know that as well as I do. We shouldn't give up on him. None of us should, particularly you."

"Don't start!" he snapped. "This doesn't concern you! Stop acting like it does!"

Senseita winced, the emotional blow of his anger equaling that of a hard uppercut to the face. Even after years and years of hearing this sort of lip from him, it always hurt. Her tender heart was easily effected by his moody nature.

Hiei swallowed a growing lump in his throat. He knew all about how she handled this. If it were possible for him to be deeper and more sensitive at times like these he would, however, that was far from an option. He trusted no one so truthfully.

She glared back at him and motioned for Kurama to follow her. He just shook his head and they went off, leaving Hiei behind.

"Hiei didn't mean that," Kurama tried to assure her as they walked. "Please don't take it that way."

"I don't get it bro," she commented, as they passed the Elm St. café. "We have close to no time left together, the three of us. You'd think, if he had a heart at all towards our friendship, he'd try and stuff it for once."

"He does Senseita, you've seen that," said Kurama, becoming quite concerned.

"Don't you get it!" she cried, stopping right in front of the door to Kuwabara's house. "Everything we had is gone! Raditz is a wreck! I'm forbidden to see you and Hiei and we're all stuck in this stupid realm!"

Kurama was speechless for a moment.

"You three are all I have," she finished desperately. "Kurama, you're all that's left of my family. Hiei's my only friend and Raditz is the closest thing I have to a friendly rival. I'm losing everything."

"No," he repiled, taking her in his arms again, "don't say that. You'll never lose me if anything. I'll fight to make sure of it."

His own feelings were beginning to flare up by now. He couldn't hold back at this point, his love was too strong.

She slipped from away and faced him again. Kuwabara's house was only a few yards away and she was trying to get away to there.

"Just go back to your new life here on Earth," she suggested. "Your human mother will appreciate it better. Give Hiei my sentiments."

She turned and headed for the door.

"Hiei cares for you Senseita," Kurama spoke up one last time, "and so do I."

He lifted up his hand a little, as if to lead her back to him. The look on his face now was normally enough to cause to her to break down, with all the emotion that he possessed. That didn't happen this time.

"I love you Kurama," she added simply, "please take care," and with that she entered the house, without another word.

It felt like hours passed henceforth with only silence. Only the grave could match the eerieness it caused.

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion that came right from the roof of Kuwabara's house. The shockwaves that resulted nearly threw Kurama off his feet. As the ground shook, a loud roar, which was almost a cross between a wolf howl and dragon roar, could be heard for miles.

"What the......" he trailed off, regaining his balance.

Raditz rose from the roof's remains and two black wings sprouted from his back. His eyes were burning red and the daylight was engulfed by his vast darkness power. It had seemed that he had finally been pushed to his limits.

Meanwhile, Hiei, still by the Denny's, could see everything clearly.

Not even a half a minute passed before he swept towards the house, his thoughts set firmly on his companions and Raditz.

To be continued....................

J: Aaaaarg! I'm writing this like a soap opera! throws up hands

A: Except this is a soap opera with evil fighting demons and spirit foxes. And it's so much better.

J: True, but the sappiness still gets to me.

A: At least there's action.

J: Correction, there will be, once we get all the comfounded relationship tensions set in stone! glares at pen

A: That's helping it along too though.

J: Right again.

We do not own Yu-Yu Hakusho, so please refrain from sueing us. However, we own this particular plotline and Senseita and Raditz(save for his name), in a creative artistic sense soooooooooooooooo, please, I humbly request, be respectful

Hiei: This wasn't my idea! Blame those two little brats..........

Kurama clasps his hand over his mouth

Kurama: Sorry folks, he's a little fired up right now.
