Thieves are All Alike

~Chapter Three~

Yumi and Keiko were standing outside the movie theater waiting for Yusuke and the others. Keiko was starting to get mad and was looking up and down every street waiting for them. Yumi on the other hand was looking at her reflection in one of those movie posters that have the shiny stuff on them, you know what I mean.

"Yusuke!" Keiko said excitedly yet angrily. Yumi sighed and turned around to see Yusuke, Kuwabara, and two other people walked up to them. One of the people was a teenaged girl with ice blue hair and reddish eyes. The other had red hair and green eyes.

"I brought Kuwabara, Yukina, and Kurama just like you said." Yusuke told Keiko proudly. Kuwabara and Yukina, the girl of course, were talking while Kurama, the boy, just stood there looking up at the sky.

"Oh yeah, I need to introduce you to everyone." Keiko said to her cousin. Yumi smiled and nodded.

"Kurama, Yukina, meet my cousin from America, Yumi." Keiko happily introduced her cousin. Yumi smiled at the two as Yukina and Kurama looked at her. Both of them could see the exact same thing that Yusuke saw when he met her. They saw her ears making her human ears disappear and now she had a tail that was waving back and forth. Out of their group the only ones who couldn't see this was Keiko, who has a low amount of spirit energy, and Kuwabara, who's just stupid.

"Hi, it's nice to meet ya, Kurama. It's good to see ya again, Yukina. So are we gonna see a movie or what?" Yumi asked jokingly. Keiko and Yukina smiled and then the three of them went to the ticket booth and began to decide what movie they wanted to see.

"Yusuke, are you sure that Yumi is Keiko's cousin?" Kurama quietly asked Yusuke. Yusuke sighed and shrugged.

"That's what they're saying but I don't trust Yumi. She's a fox demon, no offense Kurama. I don't think that Yumi is her real name just like Suichi isn't your real name, Kurama." Yusuke whispered back. Kurama nodded and then looked at Yumi. Her tail was waving back and forth. Kurama gasped silently as he saw her tail. Her tail was all black with the tip of it silver.

"What's up, Kurama?" Yusuke asked when he heard Kurama gasp. Kurama turned to him and pointed to Yumi's tail.

"Look, her tail is black with a silver tip and so are her ears. You were right! Her name isn't Yumi, its Rebecca." Kurama hurriedly whispered to Yusuke. Yusuke gave Kurama a look.

"How do you know that?" Yusuke curiously asked. Kurama titled his head to show that the three girls were coming back. They smiled at them and Yukina went to Kuwabara's side.

"Hey, we picked out a movie but the bad news is that we each picked out a movie. So each of you gotta pick one and go with that person." Yumi said as she, Keiko, and Yukina held up two tickets each. Naturally Kuwabara went with Yukina and Yusuke went with Keiko leaving Kurama by himself to go with Yumi. Yumi smiled at him and laughed.

"I'm so sorry that you got stuck with me. I could go by myself if you wan t to see one of the other movies." Yumi kindly offered.

Go with her, you idiot! Youko said mentally to Kurama. Kurama mentally glared at the fox demon that shared his body.

Why so you can get fresh her? I don't think so. I'm going to kindly take her offer and go home instead. I don't feel like sitting beside Rebecca, the fox demon thief that had as bad reputation as you did. Kurama mentally respond. Youko grinned.

You're lying. Don't even try to deny that you think she's rather attractive. You can't lie to me. I can read your thoughts, remember? So, o with her. Youko told him. Kurama sighed and turned to Yumi.

"That's okay. If you don't mind, I'll see that movie with you." Kurama kindly told her. Yumi smiled at him and nodded. She handed him his ticket for the movie and the two walked into the theater. After they bought a drink for each of them, they went into the room where the movie was going to shown. Yumi choose a seat in the back row and Kurama sat down next to her.

"Yumi, can I ask you something?" Kurama asked as the lights began to dim and the previews appeared on the movie screen. Yumi turned to him and nodded.

"Why are you going by the name Yumi when your real name is Rebecca?" Kurama asked her and waited for her response. Instead doing something like running out or attacking him, Yumi smiled and laughed softly.

"I could ask you why you're the reincarnation of Youko and why you can talk to him mentally and why you can transform to him at any time but I didn't. Anyways, I'm really am Keiko's cousin just she doesn't have any demon blood on her side of the family. Oh, look the movie starting!" Rebecca told him happily she turned back around and looked at the movie screen. Kurama stared at her for a couple minutes then looked at the screen.

Do you know her? Kurama asked Youko. Yeah, I met her couple of times in the spirit world. She's pretty good at stealing things she wants but not as well as me. I'm going to guess the same thing that happen to me happen to her only it came out better for her cause she still has her own body. Did you have a relationship with her? *silence* You did, didn't you? You're such an idiot. It wasn't that long. Whatever, I'm going to watch the movie. Okay but what ever you do, keep her away from Hiei. They don't exactly see eye to eye. Youko told him mentally then disabled the mental path between them. The last thing that Youko had said stayed with Kurama through the whole day. After the movie the whole group had went to a cafe to get something to eat. Rebecca had left after the movie and so did Yukina and Keiko. So now it was only Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama.

"So how was the movie with the fox, Kurama?" Yusuke asked him then took a drink of his pop. Kuwabara looked at the two.

"What are you guys talking about?" He asked confusedly. Kurama sighed and looked at the two who were waiting for his answer.

"It seems that she knew all about Youko and me." Kurama simply told them. Yusuke smiled in amusement but Kuwabara kept giving him a confused look.

"Kuwabara, you know Keiko's cousin Yumi?" Kuwabara nodded. "Well, she's a fox demon. You can't see her tail and ears with your low spirit energy." Kurama explained. Kuwabara nodded slowly to show that he kinda got it.

"So, what are we going to do about her?" Kuwabara asked then took a huge bite of pizza that he had got. Kurama and Yusuke both shrugged their shoulders.

"If Koenma wanted us to do something about her he would have told us." Yusuke told them as he stood up with Kurama and Kuwabara following his actions. The three of them walked down the sidewalks of the city heading towards Yusuke's house. Suddenly, a black blur passed them and then Hiei was standing in front of them.

"Hey, isn't it my favorite three eyed demon." Yusuke said jokingly. Hiei glared at him.

"Koenma had new orders. Besides guarding that jewel, we're supposed to find out where this new source of energy is coming from. It's some where in this city." Hiei coldly told them. Yusuke yawned then began to walk again.

"Yeah, yeah. We'll do it later. I'm going to go pick a fight. Later." Yusuke said as he passed Hiei. Kuwabara followed him leaving Hiei and Kurama by themselves. Hiei gave Kurama a look.

*So, who's the kitsune you have been talking to?* Hiei asked Kurama using the mental pathway they shared. I know that there a word for it but right now I can't think of it. Anyways...... *No one that you would know.* *You're not saying something.*

"Hey, Kurama! You got a minute?" The two boys heard a girl say. The two turned around to see Rebecca ran up to them. She hadn't noticed Hiei but he sure did.

"Sorry, but Keiko and I were wondering if you would like to come with us and Yusuke to the carnival. So, do ya wanna come with us later?" Rebecca asked him still not acknowledging Hiei's presence.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Hiei finally asked her in his cold voice. Rebecca turned and glared at him then stuck out her tongue at him.

"Well, well, why isn't is three eyes the green fire apparition? Hahahaha! I heard that you were working as a spirit detective and I guess it's true. I didn't think you could get this soft. What happen to ya?" Rebecca asked Hiei jokingly but coldly. Hiei glared at her and she glared back at him.

What happened between those two? Um....I'm not obliged to say anything. *laughs* It's that bad? Yep, she was Yukina's best friend while Hiei and Yukina were actually together as a family. These two always had a rivalry to be the best at judo. But here's the funny part, they each had a secret crush on each other. I thought you weren't going to tell me. Yeah, but I wanted you shut up so when we can watch what is going to happen next.

"I wouldn't be talking, kitsune. At least I'm not on the run." Hiei coldly replied to Rebecca. The two continued to glare at each other. Rebecca stopped glaring at him and smiled.

"Well, it's been nice seeing ya, Hiei. And if you want my advice, you should tell Yukina soon or she'll give up." Rebecca happily told Hiei with affection. Hiei scoffed and looked away.

"Here, Kurama. If ya wanna come call me sometime before six. You can invite some others if ya want. Later." Rebecca said to Kurama as she handed him a slip of paper with her phone number on it then kissed him slightly on the cheek. She pulled away and winked at him.

"Oh, and tell Youko that I said hi and would like to talk to him sometime." Rebecca told the shocked Kurama then walked away. Hiei turned back around and looked at Kurama who was just standing there watching Rebecca walk away.

"What the hell is going on between you two, Kurama?" Hiei coldly asked him. Kurama snapped out of it and turned to Hiei to see that he was glaring at him. But before Kurama could defend himself, Hiei had drawn his katana and had him against the wall with his katana placed against his neck ready to kill him in an instant.

"You better stay the hell away from her." Hiei quietly yet coldly told him so that Kurama could barely heard him. In an instant, Hiei was gone and Kurama was by himself.
