Did You Miss Me?

By Kiara Jaganshi and Leiko Hikaru

Chapter 3- What Do You Think?- by Kiara

A/N: Okay, Italics not indented are singing, kk? Kk! Just to let you all know! And yeah, i know, this chapter is shorter then the rest! Leave me alone!

It wasn't much of a night for all of the Rei Kai Detectives. For some reason they were all restless, as if something was going to happen. Even Koenma couldn't sleep, which was incredible, when you think about the fact that he's a god.

"I could not sleep last night," Yuseke said instead of a greeting, yawning very loudly.

"Me neither!" Kuwabara agreed, giving off an even louder yawn. (okay, I was really tired when I wrote this chapter. I was sick! What more do you want from me?)

"Let's just get the interrogation over with," Hiei said, walking off in the direction of the High Security Prison. Yuseke shrugged and followed, leading the other two.

Woo... what do you believe? What do you feel babe? Do you mind me looking at you? This lonely world I'm in the melody flows to my ears I still can hear it!

Woo... tired of the tears babe, only rhythm can make my heart move like it used to. In city twilight I can't even find the words I need to tell you how;

Setunasa-mo (Japanese)

Yasashisa-mo (Japanese)

Sabishisa-mo (Japanese)

Change all of into light, and open your eyes, to where will you take flight?

I want to cast a spell of magic on myself, baby, I want the power of infinity, oh-oh! I'd like to once more please, if I could only sing, stepping out to the new sound of the world! The world! Oh-oh!

"They stopped in front of Kiara's cell. No one was in it. "Where is that girl?" Yuseke demanded, slamming his fist into one of the walls. The door slowly creaked open. There was a note on the door. "Follow your heart. What does that mean?"

"The song!" Everyone turned around to face Kuwabara. "What? The song we're hearing mentioned a heart. Why don't we listen to the song? It might give us a clue. It almost sounds like Kiara wants us to follow her."

Woo... far off in the distance, see an oasis. Oh will I ever get there? This world of glass I'm in the melody echoes so sadly I can hear it!

Woo... dried out of tears I only hear it inside. Ghost of Rhythm in my heart! Stuck in a crowd of people feels sometimes myself I couldn't even find;

Setunasa-mo

Yasashisa-mo

Sabishisa-mo

Change all of it into light and open your eyes, what dreams to chase this time!

I want to cast a spell of magic on myself, baby, I want the power of infinity, oh-oh! I'd like to once more please if I could only sing stepping out to the new sound of the world!

 "There are clues in the song! Duh? You guys are so dense!" They all turned around to se Botan. "Hi! I came to help uncover the mystery! It sounds like to me she left clues about where she is in the song! I wonder how she's singing it and we can still hear her."

"That's it! I need the last verse with the oasis repeated though." It seemed like everyone was surprise Kuwabara was able to see the puzzle so clearly. "remember the whole spirit awareness thing? Oh, Kiara, if you can hear me, can you repeat it?" And sure thing, the song was heard once again.

Woo... far off in the distance, see an oasis. Oh will I ever get there? This world of glass I'm in the melody echoes so sadly I can hear it!

Woo... dried out of tears I only hear it inside. Ghost of Rhythm in my heart! Stuck in a crowd of people feels sometimes myself I couldn't even find;

 "Perfect!" Kuwabara said. "She's at a place that's hot, a bunch of glass or other fragile stuff, and people everywhere! And judging by the first verse, it's only able to be seen during the day, so let's get cracking!"

"How do you know all that?" Yuseke asked, impressed by Kuwabara's knowledge.

"Well, the song talked about an oasis she wasn't sure if she could find, in a world of glass, being stuck in a crowd of people, and not being able to find words during twilight. Oasis is usually sought by people in hot surroundings, a world of glass suggests fragility, being stuck in a crowd of people sounds like just that, and if you can't find things during twilight, you can find it during the day," Kurama answered for him. "I know what you mean too, Kuwabara. I suggest we try the Okinawa front."

"So why are we hear by the way?" Yuseke asked, eyeing the large castle by the waterfront suspiciously. "It doesn't seem to be in a crowd of people, not very hot, not very fragile, and you can see it as well as in night as well as day."

"You'll see Yuseke. You'll see," Kurama responded, a smile on his lips. The youko is smart, if she was able to make a puzzle so complicated. I might have fun if not for the fact that I seem not to be able to control my temper around her.

'Thanks for the insight, Kurama. I'll take over our body when we see her so you can maintain your dignity. Is that alright with you?' Youko teased.

Fine. Just don't lick her this time.

"Kurama, let's go," Hiei said to him, entering the huge castle. He rest followed him yet again.

"Oh, I really don't like this place!" Botan told them. "It scares me for some reason! All of my friends and I avoid this place!"

As the group walked in, something strange happened. In the empty corridor, people in olden times kimono's and such appeared and went on their business inside the castle. "These are ghosts. Ghosts inhabit here. That's what the song meant when it said of being stuck in a crowd of people," Kurama quietly explained, leading them all through the corridor, dodging around the ghosts that seemed couldn't hear or see them.

"So you managed to find me. What a surprise. I should have expected it though, from an old kitsune such as yourself, though," Kiara said from the other end of the corridor. She gestured at someone vaguely behind her. "Now I'd like you to meet someone. This is Leiko."
