Chapter 7

"Ah, Shara. Long time no see." a voice said from the shadows. Shamel jumped and faced the place behind her. "Welcome back Shara. Remember me? Mitohino."

"Um..."

Hiei awoke that night. He looked up at the moon and from the current position of it and the stars. It was early morning, around 7:45 or something.

Hiei looked at his surroundings. He seemed to be in what Yusuke was trying to tell him to sleep in a few hours ago. Kurama and the others, along with Shamel (who is really Shara... geez, are you getting bored of this?) were sleeping peacefully and snuggled in what ningens called sleeping bags.

Shara...

Shara! Hiei nearly suddenly bolted upward. Shara! I forgot all about her!

Hiei tiptoed out of the camp slowly so that the others will not hear... If I were Shara, where would I go?

"It's strange..." Hiei thought, "The guards are going now... Hm, wonder why?"

"Hey Hiei!" Someone whispered at his back. Hiei jumped and placed his sword in the neck of whoever was there.

"Talk about immediate reaction!" Yusuke said as he held up his hands as he looked at the sword that was pointed in his neck.

"Hn. Baka. What are you doing here detective?" Hiei growled as he placed back his sword in its sheath.

"To check out on you." Yusuke said as he rubbed his neck as if checking if Hiei had already cut it out without him noticing it. Hiei raised an eyebrow.

"Look here Hiei!" Yusuke said, "It was not nice sneaking away from us like that!"

"Hn."

"Yeah shrimp!" Kuwabara said. Kurama and Shara (thought to be Shamel) were behind him also crouching underneath the bush.

"Hn, why would I bother waking you all up?" Hiei said as he crossed his arms.

"Because it was not nice to sneak out on us like that." Kurama said.

Hiei felt like he just wanted to use his sword at all of them. "Just don't meddle with me ok?" he said.

Shara nodded however she felt weird. She was so sure Hiei liked her but why, just why was he worrying about Shamel. She just had to know.

"Welcome Shara." Mitohino said to Shamel. "It has been quite some time." he said.

"Um..." she said.

Mitohino grinned. "However, I know you aren't Shara. I know you are her younger twin, Shamel."

"Are you sure she went here?" Kurama asked as they pepped through the bushes. They were wearing green stuff all over them like they were some sorts of soldiers.

"Hn." Hiei said as he struggled to take the green stuff leaves Kuwabara and Yusuke forcefully placed over him then he jumped up the tree. Shamel followed him however she did it the Shamel way. She struggled up the tree. Hiei watched Shara's (whom he thought was Shamel's) clumsy movements. Soon Shara was beside Hiei.

"Hn." Hiei said as he sat down the tree branch, his arm in his leg. Shara sat down beside Hiei.

"Hn." Hiei said as he looked away.

"Hiei, I, um, l-l-l..." Shara "stammered".

Hiei turned to Shara, his eyes raised.

"Um, I like you." Shara "blurted" out."

"Hn, I like you too Shamel." Hiei said emotionlessly. Shara expected that.

"Hiei, I... um, love you." she said. Hiei's heart gave a sudden jot in his whole body.

"W-what?" Hiei said.

"I love you Hiei! I love you!" she said as she placed herself in Hiei's chest (guys, I'm not a fan of any R-rated things, Hiei or anyone else). She snuggled to Hiei, her eyes portraying emotion.

"I... um..." Hiei said speechless for words. I mean, who could blame him? This girl, this woman, the one he has learned to... love, had her head in his chest. He could feel his heart pumping furiously and deep. Slowly, Hiei began to hope that Shamel (who was really Shara) could not hear his the thumping of his heart.

Unfortunately, Shara heard it quite clearly. She began to grin to herself knowing that Hiei would be answering certain questions she wanted to know.

"Um, er... Shamel?" Hiei said. Shara looked at Hiei with her eyes. Somehow, Hiei could not see the same sparkle he saw the first time he met her. He shook the thought away. He had Shamel now... now... she said how much she cared... why let it go?

"I... um, like you too." Hiei stammered.

"Only?" Shara said, her eyes disappointed.

"I love you." Hiei said fast. His eyes suddenly rounded with fear, anxiety, surprise, etc, the moment he realized what her said.

"Thanks Hiei." Shara said. "Um, Hiei, I know we have to rescue Shara since she is my sister however, why were you so anxious to save her?" she asked.

Hiei grinned. "I needed to impress you didn't I?" he said. Shara grinned.

Therefore, he really likes me! The only reason why he wanted to save Shamel, whom he still thinks is Shara, is that he wanted to impress me! Shara thought, Shara honey, you are the greatest.

Hiei felt like he just wanted to punish himself because the only reason why he was searching for Shara (whom he thought was Shamel) was that he thought that maybe, just maybe, Shara was really Shamel.

This is the real Shamel. Hiei said, this is the real Shamel.

Shara was so good in clouding Hiei's mind.

"You are not Shara." Mitohino said.

"Yeah you're right." Shamel said.

"I have been spying on your group Shamel." Mitohino said.

"My sister said that we met you." Shamel said.

"Yes, we met."

"Oh." Shamel said.

"I sense anger." Mitohino said.

"Hmph." Shamel said.

"Is this a trap?" Mitohino said.

"No."

"Then why are you here?" Mitohino asked.

"You want revenge on Shara right?" Shamel said. Mitohino nodded.

"I will help." she said. Mitohino raised an eyebrow.

"Even if it means destroying Hiei?" Mitohino asked. Somehow, he felt he knew Shamel's answer.

"Yes." Shamel said.

Hiei chose Shara.

She didn't understand anything that was happening.

However, she was sure of one thing:

She did not like the way Shara treated her.

Most of all, she did not want to be Shara anymore.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Kuwabara shouted.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Yusuke shouted.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Shara squealed as she clung to Hiei's shirt.

"Hn." Hiei said as his face grew red. "Shara, it's not real."

Shara pepped from Hiei's shirt while Kuwabara and Yusuke were clinging on Kurama very tight.

Skeletons were draped around them. It looked real.

"Yeah, sorry..." Shara said as she let go of Hiei's shirt blushing madly.

"Get... off... of... me..." Kurama said as he tried to pull Yusuke and Kuwabara who were clinging to him like deranged monkeys.

"AAAAAAHHHH!" Kuwabara shouted as a bat flapped in front of him with its huge red eyes, "AAAHHHH! Infestation!" he shouted as he climbed on Kurama's shoulder.

"YAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Yusuke said as a fake skeleton fell at his side. "Denomination!" he shouted. He climbed on Kurama's shoulder just like Kuwabara and the two were climbing, shoving, and shouting like crazy.

Kurama however was just standing as two little monkeys were climbing all around him. "It's alright. I'm ok. You don't have to worry about me standing here with my arms crossed trying to carry the weight of two full grown men. I mean, you don't have to care. I'm just standing here and all you have to do is just keep shouting..."

Suddenly, the fighting stopped.

Yusuke crawled so that his head could face Kurama's. He made a peace sign.

"Thanks Kurama!" he said before the two stared shouting and screaming like two hopelessly deranged girls.

"You're welcome." Kurama said sarcastically. "Hiei, where do you think she is?" Kurama asked.

Dead. Shara thought. You don't how angry Mitohino is with me.

Hiei used his jagan. "I can't see her anywhere but I do feel a weak energy..."

"No, you don't think she's..." Kurama said. "Yusuke! Kuwabara! Stop acting like kids and searching for my rosewhip in my hair! You won't find it."

"No we haven't." Yusuke said, "But we now know where you keep your things." Yusuke said as he held out an eraser.

"Yeah," Kuwabara said, "I see a small notebook and...'

"Just climb down and return those things to me." Kurama snapped, "I never place anything in my hair and it was my brother Suuichi who did it, ok?"

"Ok." Kuwabara and Yusuke said innocently as they climbed down Kurama with sarcastic grins on their faces.

So the detectives along with Shara started walking the castle corridors to the light.

"What's that?" Hiei said as he was looking at a piece of paper that was sticking out of Shara's pants.

Shara looked at it. It was the love letter. Oh great, she thought, I forgot to throw it! "Nothing Hiei." Shara said, "I was practicing some studies."

Studies? Hiei thought, since when did Shamel need to study? Oh well, maybe things changed.

"You ready to do this?" Mitohino asked.

Shamel nodded.

"It might hurt." Mitohino said.

"I don't care." Shamel said.

"This might be because of your anger. Maybe you should think about it for a while." Mitohino said.

"Will you get this over with?" Shamel said. Mitohino laughed.

"I didn't know you could get so angry as that Sham." Mitohino said.

"Hmph." Shamel said, her anger fading away. She suddenly clasped her head.

"Um, what's wrong?" Mitohino asked concerned.

"I..." Shamel's voice trailed away as light dawned in her eyes. "I remember... something..."

"You do?" Mitohino said amused.

"Yeah, no!" Her eyes suddenly dawned.

"I remember...

Everything..."
