Repreview: Kitty, Hiei, and Kurama are in Spirit World awaiting a sentenced by Koenma. What will be their punishiment? And what are Yusuke and Kuwabara dumping Kayko at the movies for? Read on to find out!
______________________________________________________________________________
" You know that your charges are very severe....it will take a lot of money to get you off this charge..." Koenma lectured to Kitty, Hiei, and Kurama who were standing in front of his desk. Kitty was almost asleep and Hiei was yawning. Kurama just stared at the floor like it was the best thing in the world.
Hiei jabbed Kitty in the side with his elbow and she jarred awake rustling the chains which made Koenma jump. " Please try to stay awake. You need to hear this. If someone could come up with at least 3 billion yen I'd let you go."
" Hey Kurama! Over here!" a voice yelled behind them.
" Wha...?" Kitty said sleepily as she looked behind her. " Hey Alaira....what took you so long? This is the second time I've been here in less than a week."
" Well here I am and I have about 3.5 billion yen. I hope it's enough to get you off." Alaira said waving the bills in Kitty's face.
" WHAT!!! WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT MUCH MONEY?!" Kitty yelled as Alaira got the infamous anime sweat drop.
" Hehehe...umm....your tears and the black market..." Alaira said laughing nervously.
" Oh....gee...let me guess did Fang get you the contacts to the big guys?" Kitty said sarcastically.
" Yea...how'd ya know?" Alaira said laughing. " Hey Koenma! What's their bail? I'm here to get them off."
" Umm...I should have to say about 3.5 billion yen. Their sentence would have been life working as the cleanup crew for the Lake of Blood." Koenma said jumping up onto his desk.
" Ok...here's the money and now let them go!" Alaira said handing Koenma the bills and pointing to Kitty, Hiei, and Kurama.
" Yea Koenma! She paid so let us go!" Kitty said looking at Koenma with big liquid brown puppy dog eyes.
" Fine...you can go. I'll call you if I need you. Be prepared." Koenma said as the ordered the ogre standing next to him to unlock their chains.
" That's better....I can stretch my arms now." Kitty said as she stretched her arms upward and to the side.
" You're funny, Kitty. I don't remember you ever acting like this except when we were really little." Kurama said laughing as he shook his own chains off his arms.
" Certainly a surprise...must be 'cause Hiei's here!" Alaira said cracking up with Kurama.
Kitty just stuck her tongue out at them and then laughed. Hiei just watched as the life-long friends just laughed together. " Come on Hiei join us!" Kitty called to him motioning him over.
Hiei reluctantly walked up to them and Kitty grabbed him and pulled him into a big hug.
"Uh...." Hiei said as he looked at Kitty's smiling laughing face. He then half smiled and then brought the group back to reality. " Maybe we should get out of here."
" Yea. Hey Koenma! Did you fix that portal back after I told Botan to ask you?" Kitty called to Koenma who was just watching the group act stupid.
" Yes. Actually I did. I'll send Ogre here with you to let you through. It's password operated now." Koenma said as he looked at the ogre standing next to him. " Go with them."
" Yes sir!" the ogre saluted and then lead the group to the portal.
" Hey ogre. If King Yama finds out about the items what will he do to Koenma?" Kitty asked as they walked through the halls. She had both hands on top of her head.
" King Yama has already found out about the items. He is coming home early because of it." the ogre said then he fell silent.
Kitty looked surprised then took to looking at the paintings on the walls. Most were of demons and princesses. Kitty then saw one that looked familiar. The painting had a picture of a blue fox with seven tails and a jaguar-like cat running from a group of ogres. " Hey Kurama...look they have a picture of me and you!" Kitty said half laughing.
" Yes...I see that they have. Your father must have persuaded them to put it there. They wouldn't have put sibling thieves' picture up on the Wall of Honor." Kurama said as he glanced at the picture.
" You're wrong sir. Koenma ordered that picture to be put up. When he was smaller he loved hearing stories of Yoko and Sheena's great escapes and theiveries from this palace. He thought that it would be great fun to meet them. He has always wanted to meet an expert thief ice apparition and Spirit Fox. It's something that he's always wanted." The ogre said as Kitty, Kurama, Alaira, and Hiei gazed at the big picture of Yoko and Sheena. Kurama and Kitty were remembering the day that they pulled off their last robbery together. After Kurama went into the mortal world Kitty had pulled off the rest of the places she and Kurama had dreamed of robbing. She had hid the treasure somewhere on Hanging Neck Isle, her strong hold after Kurama left. She then left and became Kurama's mortal mother's second child. That was how they had come to be Shuuichi and Kitana.
"We've arrived." the ogre said pulling Kurama and Kitty out of their trances.
" Okay. Just say the password we won't listen." Hiei said as he turned around and covered his ears. Kitty did the same followed by Kurama and Alaira.
" Angel Halo" the ogre whispered to the door. It opened to reveal the same blue sparkely tunnel that Kurama, Hiei, and Kitty had followed on their way to Spirit World about a week ago.
" Let's go!" Alaria said as she jumped into the tunnel.
" Hey wait up!" Kitty said jumping in after her. You could hear Kitty and Alaira shouting " Wee!" all the way through the tunnel.
" Kurama you go next I'll go last this time." Hiei said.
" Okay...I think I know why..." Kurama said jumping into the portal after Kitty. He didn't yell "wee" though.
Hiei then jumped in after Kurama. Kitty and Alaira were already out the door headed toward the house when he came out in the mortal world.
" They don't wait on a guy do they? But they expect us to wait on them." Hiei said following Kurama out the door and into the street.
" Yes....I have to live with them though. So I'm used to it." Kurama said as he walked up the steps of his house. He pulled Hiei up after him. " Kitty wouldn't like it if you left without saying anything to her. Especially after you two being seperated for about five days. She'd take her vengeance out on me!"
" Fine, I've got to give something back to her anyway." Hiei said following Kurama into the house.
" Hey guys! You're so slow! We've been here trying on bathing suits for the last God knows how long ago!" Alaira said showing Kitty her new rose print bikini bathing suit.
" Yea, hey Alaira that really looks cool on you. Go up to the bathroom and try it on! I'll go and try this black angel one on." Kitty said as she ran up to her room.
" Hey Kitty wait up I have to talk to you!" Hiei yelled as Kitty ran up the stairs.
" Okay. Come on up!" Kitty yelled back down.
" Uh...." Hiei said looking at Kurama as he walked up the stairs.
" Go on up. She's probably going to be in the bathroom. Just knock on her room door. She'll tell you to go in if she wants you too." Kurama said shooing him up the stairs.
"Uh...ok." Hiei said as he walked up to Kitty's door and knocked on it. " Come on in Hiei!" Kitty's voice said from the other side of the door.
" Ok." Hiei said as he opened the door.
" Hey. What do you think?" Kitty said as she modeled her new swim suit for Hiei.
" Umm...looks great...I guess..." Hiei said gulping.
" Thanks! I didn't think that it would look to good." Kitty said smiling.
"Umm...no it doesn't look bad. I've got something to give you back." Hiei said as his stomach clenched up in nervousness.
" What is it?" Kitty asked as she sat down on her bed slipping some shorts and a t-shirt over her two piece bathing suit.
" Umm....here." Hiei said as he pulled Kitty's diary from out of his cloak and handed it to her.
Kitty's eyebrow started twitching. " Hiei is that my diary?" she said unusually quietly.
" Um....yea." Hiei said getting ready to run in case Kitty decided to hurt him or something.
" Here Hiei...let me show you why people don't like getting on my nerves..." Kitty said getting up off of her bed.
She started chasing him around her room. She was really fast, a bit faster than Hiei actually. Hiei saw that her window was open and jumped out of it. Kitty followed hot on his heels. " Come back here Hiei!" she yelled just as she reached the river.
" Hmm...gee I wonder where he has gone..." she said quietly to herself.
She then just jumped into the river and swam over to the left side of the river.. She just turned over on her back and floated in the calmest part of the river. " Hey Hiei come out and save me!" Kitty yelled into the nearest tree. " I know you're there I can see your hair sticking up above that tree branch Kitty said swimming underneath the weeping willow stretching out over the river. She just looked up at Hiei who was standing on a tree branch trying to avoid detection by Kitty, failing to her sharp eyesight.
" Hiya. Come here often?" she asked laughing. Hiei just looked at her and jumped down on the shoreline.
" Kitty come back in. The current looks like it's getting pretty swift." Hiei said trying to grab her hand, but she just kicked her legs and swam out towards the middle.
"You mean here?" Kitty asked just as the undertow pulled her underneath the water. She came up sputtering.
" Kitty come on. I'm not joking. Come out of there. You're gonna get yourself killed." Hiei said pleadingly.
" Come out and save me. I'll get out then." Kitty said giving Hiei a hard time. She was then caught in the swiftest part of the current and was pulled towards the rough rapids down stream. " Help! Please! This current is too strong!" she screamed just as she hit the rapids and went under.
" Kitty! Kitty! Please come back up!" Hiei said searching the water for her. He saw her resurface a little below him. She looked unconcious.
" Please Kitty don't be dead. You've already had to go through this once." Hiei thought to himself as he tried to keep up with her body as she got pushed farther downstream. " Wait... there's a small bridge of rocks leading about a quarter of the width across the river I could run ahead and catch her there."
He then put on more speed and arrived at the rock 'bridge' before Kitty did. " Okay now to wait." he thought to himself. He didn't have to wait long for Kitty to come down the river. He then jumped across the rocks and grabbed her before she fell off the waterfall at the end of the river.
" Kitty, please be alright..." Hiei said as he pulled her up to the shore. He laid her down far away from the raging river. " I told you not to go near the middle...why did you do it? To test my love? Was that it? Please don't die on me. Please don't Kit. I don't want to lose another person in my life. Especially not you."
Kitty woke up at these last words and spit up water. " That's the last time I listen to that stupid fish." Kitty said as she sat up and looked at Hiei.
" You're okay. Thank God." Hiei said as he got up and picked Kitty up in his arms. " You'll be okay...right?"
" Yea...now that you're here." Kitty said as she put her soaking wet arms around Hiei's neck. He didn't mind the water like he usually did. Kitty put her head underneath his chin and breathed a sigh of relief.
" He really loves me..." Kitty thought to herself as Hiei carried her home.
Hiei was just glad that she hadn't died. " I love you Kitty." Hiei thought to himself as he kissed the top of her head.
" I love you too..." Kitty said as Hiei jumped up in the cherry tree outside her window. He jumped into her window and there stood Kurama and Alaira. They were standing in the corner next to Kitty's window.
