Meanwhile...

Kayko, Yukina, Shizuru and Star decided to head for the Barefoot Bar. Kayko and the girls sat at the bar and waited to be served, Shizuru was the only one who needed a seat.

"You can sit here." she a tan skinned guy with brown hair with blond highlight tips.

"Huh? You talkin' to me?" she asked and he nodded.

"I must be going. See you around." he waved to her with the back of his hand as he walked off.

"Ohh, Shizuru, he was cute." Kayko teased

"I've sworn off men." Shizuru said 'but I still can't help but wonder...' she thought

"So ladies, whatelit (what will it) be?" asked a man behind the bar. "I recommend the volcano or the blue Hawaii, a Maitai perhaps.

"I'll have a blue Hawaii." Kayko said "I wish Botan would join us." She said

"I'm sure she'll show up later." Shizuru said and ordered a volcano, along with Yukina. Star ordered something called the scorpion.

"Where are those dorky boys?" Star asked

"I don't know. But lets tan before it gets too dark." the girls all picked up their drinks and walked to the pool. It was a normal rectangular pool, a bridge went thorough the center and at the far end was a small Jacuzzi.

Each girl sat in a chair to soak up the sun. Little did the girls know the boys were planning an onslaught.

"Come on Kurama, it will be fun." Yusuke said

"Fine." Kurama sighed

The boys snuck quietly behind the girls preparing to dump then into the water. Their plans were foiled when Botan showed up.

"Hi boys." She said. Kayko and the others opened their eyes only to see the startled boys fall back into the water.

"Damn it Botan!" Yusuke cursed

Botan giggled "well serves you right." she laughed and was lifted into the air. "Ah!" she screamed before hitting the water.

"Hn." Hiei smirked

"Oh, hello brother." Yukina laughed

"Hiei! How could you dump me in the water?" she began to cry fake tears (like in the first chappy of south and souther)

"Don't fall for it, Hiei." Yusuke said remembering what happened to him last time. Then he turned his attention to Kayko who was sipping on her blue drink, "Hey Kayko, come on it the water's fine." he said and splashed her. She looked at him and held her fist in the air as flames danced behind her.

"Yusuke," she said sweetly and jumped in to dunk him. Soon everyone was in the water, well all but Hiei that is. The sun fell from the sky.

Yusuke, Kayko, Kuwabara, and Yukina went to explore the city as Shizuru occupied the bar. Once again the local boy showed up.

"Hello, we meet again." he said

"Well, it is a small hotel." she said and turned away.

"I suppose so. My name is Ramille." he said

"Shizuru." she said

"Soon, she will be human again and then she will come home. Her past must be shown to her. The Darkness she holds. She could rule the world, and through my daughter I will rule." said a woman in a purple dress and long Blue hair.

"Yes, and her being a member of the Urameshi team, it will be easier for us to get rid of them. As a whole they are unstoppable but if we split them up...oh and with her help, we will be able to corner each one." said a man in the shadows.

"But first we have to get rid of Hiei." the woman said

"Kurama, stop it." Star giggled as he hunted for her around the beach in the darkness. He caught hold of her and it sent them tumbling to the ground. Sand flew in every direction. "Okay, you win."

"I need to teach you how to run faster, the chase was too easy." Kurama said

"Well maybe I wished it that way," she smiled up at him

Kurama purred as he tried to keep Yoko at bay. "Be careful what you wish for." he kissed her soft lips.

"Star I knew he would be a bad influence on you," Hiei said from the darkness.

"Hiei, don't you have a tree to be sitting in?" Star asked as Kurama helped her up.

"Hn, palm trees are not worthy of me," he said

"Hiei, quit being silly." Botan said as she found Hiei "he fell out of the tree, there are no branches you know." Botan told Kurama. Star looked at Kurama and the fell to the sand laughing

Botan pushed Hiei, "that was for this morning." she said and ran off Hiei was not about to let her go that easily.
