During that half and hour, Arlei went to her house to change her clothes, get her bag, and her money. It was about 15 minutes before Arlei had finally finished. She ended up leaving in a white T-Shirt and a pair of army print jeans with side pockets. She also had a small black T&C wallet in her pocket. It only took her 5 minutes to get to Keiko's house, so she had plenty of time to spare. She knocked on the door and Keiko's face appeared seconds later.

"Hey, Arlei! You look great!" Keiko said as she opened the door and ushered Arlei into her house.

Arlei looked at Keiko; she was wearing a pink tank top and a blue denim skirt. "Not bad yourself." She said and laughed.

It was finally time to meet. The first to arrive was Botan, followed by Kurama and Hiei. Last, there was Kuwabara and Yusuke. Anyone in a one mile radius could hear them arguing about something stupid. As they approached Keiko's house, they're voices became more clear.

"It's mines!" Kuwabara's voice echoed throughout the neighborhood.

"But you could still be a friend and share it!" Yusuke said, just as loud.

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

They had finally arrived at the house and finally shut up when they saw everyone staring at them.

"What?" Yusuke said. Just more stares. Then there was silence. I guess Yusuke decided to break the silence by jumping on Kuwabara and yelling "GIVE IT TO ME!"

The gang was on the bus to the mall across the town. They had found out that Kuwabara had found a dollar on the ground when Yusuke had tripped him. "That's why they were fighting?!" Botan had said when she heard their explanation. Kuwabara had used that dollar to get on the bus though. The group was sitting at the very back of the bus. The order (from left to right) was: Hiei, Kurama, Arlei, Keiko, Yusuke, Botan, and then Kuwabara. The only one unhappy with this seating arrangement was Botan. She had to admit that she had a crush on Kurama.

'Why does Arlei get to sit next to him?!' She thought angrily as she stared at her and Kurama. They looked like they were deep in a conversation. Botan kept thinking things like that for the rest of the ride. Finally, they stepped off the bus and arrived at the mall.

"Where shall we go first?" Kurama asked as they stepped into the mall and the feel of AC swept over them. Kurama was looking at the bookstore. Hiei noticed where he was looking. He absolutely despised the bookstore, so he suggested that they split up. Kurama asked the group if anyone else wanted to go to the bookstore with him. Arlei said she wanted to go, and when Botan heard that, she also wanted to go, because she didn't want the two of them alone.

"I can finally see that book you were telling me about on the bus, Kurama!" Arlei said, walking right beside him.

'So that's what they were talking about on the bus... Maybe there's nothing to worry about.' Botan thought, walking a little behind both of them.

Personally, books bore the hell out of Botan, but she endured that so she could spy on Kurama and Arlei. 'How long are they going to stay in here?!' Botan thought to herself. Ironically, they had gotten up and were about to leave.

"C'mon, Botan! We're leaving now!" Arlei shouted to her as they passed the row of books she was in.

"Yeah, yeah." Botan said, and got up from her crouching-position.

"Is it just me, or does she not like me?" Arlei whispered into Kurama's ear as they were walking out of the store.

HAHAHAHA! Kuri-time once again! With, Kuri herself! Yay! bows

This is Kuri. She says that she realized a pattern in her chapters. Kuri says that they are all about the same length... Kuri apologizes, because her brain is fried from working on all the homework her bitchy teachers give. She says not to worry, though. Becaz Kuri's brain is always twisted... And remember to hit that shekshay button down there and give KuriQuinn a nice comment!!! 3!!!
