Chapter 13

"Humans, they have destroyed my plan completely..." Mitohino said as he rubbed his head in his hand. He stared outside the window of his castle watching the darkness of his kingdom in a storm.

"Father, is there something wrong?" Teryo, Mitohino's son, asked.

"I need her. I need her." Mitohino said pounding his fist in the wall. "I was so close. I could have gotten her but because of my carelessness she was taken back away."

"Is there anything I can do for you, my father?" Teryo asked.

"The Spirit Detectives have escaped. They know of my plan. They will tell Koenma and I will not be able to take in Shamel." Mitohino said. "If I can only gather powerful warriors and take their energy to make a momentary cloaking force field so the Rekai Team won't easily find my kingdom... But how will I know how much the Rekai knows?"

"Father, I will go." Teryo said. His father raised an eyebrow. "I can spy on the Rekai team. I will postpone their actions."

"I won't be there for you." Mitohino said, "As much as I want that to be there, I will have to use my time for the force field that I am about to make."

"It's ok father." Teryo said.

"Then I grant you permission." he replied, "Go now and do not waste time."

Ningenkai or plainly, Earth

"Hurry up you two!" Yusuke said as he, Kurama, and Kuwabara were forcing Hiei in the water. The girls were farther along splashing in the water. If you're wondering what they were doing in the beach when there was a problem in the Makai, well, Koenma and Botan allowed them three days rest while the Rekai would try to plan out their plan of action. At first the YYH gang didn't want to go to the beach but Koenma said that they had to have a little relaxation because the past few days was hard to them both physically and emotionally, besides, King Enma ordered it.

"Coming..." the real Shamel, said as she and Genkai took of their luggage from the van. The two of them walked laughing towards the beach. It was a very active beach. There were a lot of people laughing and playing (much to Hiei's dismay). "We'll just place all your baggage inside the hotel." the real Shamel shouted to Yusuke. Yusuke gave a thumbs-up and continued pushing a very red Hiei closer to the real Shara just for fun.

In the hotel

"Excuse me, we need someone to place our bags to room 212 and room 213." Genkai said to the clerk behind the desk.

"Yes. Nick!" the clerk said to a man who was talking to another person. The man named Nick excused himself and went to where Genkai and Shamel were and helped them to place their baggage in their room, one for the boys, and one for the girls.

Inside the room 212 which is the room for the girls

"Hey Genkai, is there a swimming pool here?" Shamel (the real Shamel) asked.

"Yeah. One is in the rooftop and the other three are down there in level with the beach." Genkai said. "But I think that you would prefer to go to the rooftop since Hiei and the others are not there." Genkai said with a wink.

"Yeah..." Shamel said wearily, took her bag, and walked out of the room and to the elevator.

"Shara!" A voice said at the side. Shamel turned around and saw Kurama and Yukina running to her. Hiei was walking slowly behind.

Oh great... Shamel thought as she stopped to face them. "Yeah?" she asked as innocently as possible.

"Where are you going?" Yukina asked. She was wearing a loose shirt and pants. Kurama was wearing the pink uniform and Hiei was wearing a shirt and pants. All of their hair was wet which showed that they were just done swimming.

"Where's my sister?" Shamel said dreading saying the word 'sister'.

"Oh, the others went to the room already." Yukina said, "But I saw you walking up the elevator so I ran to you. I wanted to give you these flowers." Yukina said as she held up a string of beautiful flowers. "Kurama and Hiei just followed along. I guess they wanted to make sure that I was safe and that I did not run out for no particular reason at all."

"Oh." Shamel said.

"Where are you going anyway?" Kurama asked.

"I... um..." Shamel said as she tried hiding her swimming bag.

"Oh, you're going to swim." Yukina said as she spied the bag.

"I...uh, yeah." Shamel said.

"Oh goodie!" Yukina said as she happily clapped her hands. "Can we go? I'm still wearing my bathing suit and Hiei and Kurama are too! C'mon, let's all go!"

"I don't think Shara wants us to go with her." Hiei said looking at Yukina. Yukina looked at Shamel with confused eyes.

"Oh, nonono," Shamel said, "I want you all to go with me. I was planning to tell you to come but I didn't want to go down again."

"See Hiei, I told you she wanted us to come." Yukina said as she pulled Hiei, Kurama, and Shamel to the elevator.

Rooftop

"I can't go out." Shamel said as Yukina tugged her out of the bathroom. "I look so embarrassing."

"Why would you be embarrassed?" Yukina said in an effort to cheer Shamel up, "C'mon Shara, there's nothing to be afraid of. They're your friends. They won't laugh at you. If someone laughs at you, they will defend you. I'm so sure about that!"

"But, I can't let anyone see me." Shamel said, "I don't look good."

"Why are you ashamed Shara?" Yukina asked. Then her eyes suddenly rounded with excitement, "Oh, lemme guess, you have a crush on either Kurama or Hiei right?"

Shamel suddenly blushed madly. "N-no." she said, "W-why would I?"

"Oh goodie!" Yukina said, "Is it Hiei or Kurama?"

"Um..." Shamel said.

"Hey, what is taking you two so long?" Hiei shouted from outside, "We've been waiting for centuries."

Shamel winced. Yukina squealed. "It's Hiei?" she whispered excitedly.

"I-uh..." Shamel said, "Um..."

"Oh it's Hiei." Yukina said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"It's not Hiei." Shamel said meekly.

"Oh, it's Kurama!" Yukina whispered excitedly, "I knew it. Don't worry, Kurama will like your outfit."

"I no, Yukinaaaaaa!" Shamel said as Yukina pulled her outside of the bathroom where she stood face to face with Hiei.

"What took you so long?" he asked in an irritated manner.

"Shara looks ok right?" Yukina asked Hiei. Hiei looked at Shamel and said, "Average. But judging from that fat in her waist, she went five points below average."

Shamel blushed. She wanted to pounce on Hiei like she always did or say something awful to Hiei but she felt hurt so much so she decided that she better keep quiet and the result was that she blushed.

Hiei was surprised at Shamel's reaction that he decided not to tell anything anymore.

"Hiei, what in the Makai are you doing?" Kurama asked innocently as he watched Hiei who was lying down in the white folding chair, wearing shades and holding a yellow rubber duckie in his right hand.

"SquEEAK!" the rubber duckie said.

"Okay..." Kurama said as he gave up talking to Hiei and sat down beside him. Just then, Yukina and Shamel(the real Shamel) came up to them and both of them sat in a one vacant chair beside Hiei. Hiei turned to look at his sister trying to check if anyone did any harm to her. Satisfied that there was none, he placed back his shades and looked at the sky.

........................

"So... does anyone plan to talk?" Kurama suggested.

"Um, hi?" Shamel said.

........................

"Hey, isn't that Shamel?" Yukina said as he looked behind Shamel. Shamel looked confused until she turned around and saw Shara (the real Shara) coming to them with Yusuke and Kuwabara following. Shamel just wanted to die right then and there since she could not have Hiei for herself.

"Hey Hiei!" the real Shara said cheerfully. Hiei managed to control himself from being red and said 'hi' back. Shara wanted to jump up and down while Shamel felt jealous because Hiei never says hi to her when she says hi to him. Worse of all, Shara (the real Shara) sat down beside Hiei.

"Um, EHEM," Kuwabara said, "Kurama, don't you think that we BETTER go?" he said.

"Oh, what? Oh yeah, don't you think so too Yusuke and Yukina?" Kurama said to the two.

Yukina nodded. "Yeah!" Kuwabara said, "Um, Shara (referring to Shamel) don't you want to SWIM with us?" he said. Shamel got the message that everyone wanted to leave Hiei and Shara (the real Shara) alone together but SHE DIDN'T WANT THAT.

"Yeah, I guess we better go." Shamel said as she wearily dragged herself to where Kurama and Yukina was.

"Where are you all going?" Hiei asked as he sat down.

"Oh, they want to swim." Shara said (the real one). "Hiei, let's go buy sweet snow."

Please say no, Shara thought, please say nononononononoononono-

"Ok." Hiei said.

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shamel (the real Shamel) thought.

A few hours later

I'm not liking this... I'm not liking this... I'm not liking this... I'm not liking this... I'm not liking this... I'm not liking this... I'm not liking this... I'm not liking this...

Shamel was staring across the umbrella-covered table to where Hiei and Shara were. They were sweet as Shara was feeding Hiei with sweet snow and Shamel did not like every second of it. Everyone were all encouraging that Shara feed Hiei just for the mere fun of it.

"Oh great, no more ice cream." Yusuke said unhappily at the empty ice cream can.

"I'll buy." Shamel said as she stood up from her chair.

"Whow, you're especially kind to Hiei today." Yusuke commented.

"I mean, you hated having anything to do with Hiei." Kurama observed.

"But now..." Kuwabara said as he let the sentence hang.

Shamel shrugged her shoulders. "I just realized that I can't have what I want." she said as she headed inside the hotel to go to the ice cream stand. As she walked inside the hotel, she could feel Shara's evil smile smiling at her back.

Oh great, it costs more than I thought it would. Now I would have to use my money. Shamel thought as she handed her money and took the liter of ice cream. She decided to walk more slowly because she wanted to bid time away. She didn't want to see Hiei and Shara together just for the meantime. Thinking of Hiei all the time made her think that she should walk slowly in case she might bump something in mid-thinking. She was walking slowly when suddenly a guy accidentally bumped her and the ice cream cover flew off making the ice cream spill on her shirt.

"Oh great..." Shamel murmured as she stared at the ice cream on her shirt.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, miss," the guy who bumped her said, "I'm just new in a hotel and I well..."

"It's ok." Shamel said not looking at the guy and wiping the ice cream from her shirt. It was a good thing that no one was passing that corridor. The guy handed her a hanky and she used it to wipe the ice cream however more were sticking to her shirt.

"Oh man..." she said wearily.

"Oh, ok, here, I have a shirt here." the guy said rummaging in his bag and taking out a white shirt that was too big for Shamel.

"Umm..." Shamel said starring at the shirt.

"You can wear it." he said.

"Uh, you can turn around." she said.

"Oh yeah." he said and turned around while she dressed up and I assure you that there was no peeking or any R rated stuff whatsoever.

"So you're name is Teryo." Hiei said staring disgustedly at him, "What an ugly name."

Phew, chapter 13 done. I wanna say sorry to Shade. I mean, I have school and stuff but I'm doing my best to write it down. Just read Love Letter first. I'm still doing the VBF. 
