"Dead again"

"Okay, Maku, you can possess someone when they're knocked out or asleep - you can also talk to them during their sleep." Yusuke told Maku, as they walked around the hospital.

It had been a few hours since Koenma visited them.

"B"st"rd! You possess people and talk to them when they're asleep?" Maku shouted at Yusuke.

"No... I only possess someone twice." Yusuke said.

"Who?" Maku asked.

"You and your brother."

"WHAT?" Maku flipped in the air.

"JUST kidding. I possessed Kuwabara and an old friend of mine." Yusuke told him.

"You see him?" Yusuke pointed to a sleeping fat guy, sitting in the waiting room. "Why don't you possess him?"

"Uhhhh... Okay." Maku flew over to the fat guy, poking his stomach.

"You have to get in the exact same position." Yusuke directed Maku.

Maku flew above the fat guy in the same position.

"... OH PLEASE! CAN'T I POSSESS SOMEONE ELSE?" Maku flew away from the fat guy.

"Fine... C'mon." Yusuke flew up through the ceiling and Maku followed.


The Shinomutos (and Atsuko) went home, except for Mikiko and Erik, who decided to stay longer at the hospital. Seventeen, Kurama and Kuwabara went along with the other Shinomutos to their home also.

When Akifuru, Hijo, Shi, Fox, Seventeen, Kurama and Kuwabara were walking to their house...

A flying shadow came speeding by them, and Hijo snatched him up by his arm by accident. (A/N: Also will be explained later...)

The short man fell over. "OH!"

"Huh?" Hijo ignored him, and stepped over him.

"Hello Tortus." Akifuru said down at him.

The person stood up.

"My name's Hiei. Not Tortus." The Fire/Ice demon sternly told Akifuru, who was unfazed.

"Oh, Tortus, don't take that attitude with me." Akifuru walked on past him.

Kurama and Kuwabara hadn't noticed Hiei yet, as they were in back of the crowd, but they felt his reiki.

(Reiki : Spirit Energy)

Hiei stood there in his spot, until everyone passed by, and when Kurama and Kuwabara walked near him...

"Kura-"

"IT'S HIEI!" Kuwabara yelled in Hiei's face, just to be annoying.

"I'll talk to you later, Kurama." Hiei said, walking next to Kurama. "When that idiot's not around." Hiei meant Kuwabara of course.

Kuwabara didn't hear Hiei because a sudden chill came over him, and he felt something, while hearing a whisper in the air.

Kuwabara fainted because the demonic aura overpowered him, scaring him like nothing has before.

Kurama and Hiei, who didn't feel it, kept walking.

"Alright..." Kurama nodded, then noticed that Kuwabara wasn't walking with them.

"Huh?" Kurama looked back to see Kuwabara passed out on the sidewalk a few feet back.

"Is it dead?" A stranger poked Kuwabara with a stick. The other stranger stared at Kuwabara. "It's ugly..."

"Excuse me." Kurama walked over, and picked Kuwabara up under one arm.

"It that ugly thing yours? Sick..."

Hiei started laughing, and Kurama glared at Hiei, who shut up.


At the house...

Kurama and Hiei got Kuwabara onto the couch.

"Oh, Tortus, I will make dinner." Akifuru started to the kitchen.

"Leave me alone." Hijo went into his bedroom to be alone.

Shi sat down in the sitting room on the sofa, and so did Seventeen.

"I'm going into my room to hack into Government Top Sercet Bases..." Fox opened his door, then looked back. "Or at least try." Then he disappeared into his room.

"Can I talk to you in private?" Hiei asked Kurama, and they went out back.

When they were on the back porch, they didn't get time to talk because the door opened.

"Hey, dinner's done, you two." Shi opened the back door.

"You came to tell us dinner was done?" Hiei asked. "Thanks."

"You're welcome..." Shi nodded, then looked confused. "Who are you? You look familar..."

"I'm Hiei." Hiei said slowly. "I walked by you."

"Oh." Shi said, trying to think.

"Hiei, she meant from somewhere else." Kurama told him. "Well, I'm hungry, what's for dinner?" Kurama asked, after Hiei gave him the evil eye, and Shi looked at him.

"Umm... Thing is, with Grandma, you don't know." Shi shrugged, and led them into the house.


"What's for dinner?" Kurama asked Akifuru.

"Green beans dipped in monzerella cheese, with potatoes mixed with dressing with turkey on the side." Akifuru told him.

Kurama suddenly became really sick, and clutched his stomach, looking ready to throw up.

"Are you okay?" Shi grabbed Kurama to steady him. "No, I need to sit down." Kurama answered. "Alright, let me help you." Shi helped him sit down, but tripped when the cat, Doli, ran by, knocking her onto Kurama.

"Oh, stupid cat! Sorry." Shi said to Kurama.

"HONEY!" Seventeen yelled at her. "Don't do that, it's a stupid thing - plus I'm your boyfriend." He picked her up off of Kurama.

"You got the totally wrong idea, Sev." Shi told him.

"Okay, now I know." Seventeen said. "You wouldn't cheat on me."

"No, I wouldn't." Shi kissed Seventeen, just as Hiei got in the house.

Hiei then slammed the wall, shaking the room, and getting everyone's attention.

They just stared at him, but he ignored them, heading to the kitchen.

"What's for dinner?" Hiei asked Akifuru.

"Green beans dipped in monzerella cheese, with potatoes mixed with dressing with turkey on the side." Akifuru told him. "OH! And sour crout mixed with everything. It's your favorite, Tortus."

"I don't even like it..." Hiei said meanly. "...Hag."

"Don't take that attitude with me, Tortus!" Akifuru was mad. "Oh, take that!" She hit at him, but he was already over by the floor heater.

Akifuru wandered into the front room, found Kuwabara fainted on one of the couches. "Oh, Tortus, I told you not to take that attitude with me!" Akifuru slapped Kuwabara a few times, which woke him up.

"OH!" Kuwabara stood up, looking around. "I think I'm on a bad schedule..." He said, noticing the clock on the wall:

8:24 (Night time)

"Um, Seventeen, can we go out to dinner?" Shi asked Seventeen, reaching up and placing her arms around his neck.

"Yeah." Seventeen answered. "Let's get pizza."

"You're not allowed to leave the house, because when Fox did; a house blew up. When Maku did, he disappeared for a week and reappeared with boo-boo owies." Akifuru told them. "But you can order pizza."

"But Grandma!" Shi said slowly. "I wanna go out."

"Fine." Akifuru agreed. "Just take this with you." Akifuru pulled Seventeen's gun from on his belt, and handed it to Shi, who rolled her eyes.

"Oh Grandma..." Shi sighed, looking up at Seventeen. "C'mon." Shi went out the front door, Seventeen followed.

"Seventeen, after we get eat dinner, let's go to your house and play naughty." Shi kissed Seventeen's cheek playfully.

"I love playing naughty... the video board game." Seventeen added quickly, when he noticed Akifuru watching them from on the porch like a hawk.

Seventeen picked Shi up, and began flying up into the sky to head to a pizza parlor.


Yusuke and Maku were flying up above the city. "You have many houses to choose from to possess someone." Yusuke told Maku, just then, Seventeen and Shi flew right through Maku, who screamed.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"H-H-H-HE CAN FLY!" Yusuke stammered in shock.

"I got to get used to this..." Maku sighed.

"Yeah, you do." Yusuke nodded.

"I thought you've been dead before?" Maku asked.

"I have..." Yusuke looked over at Seventeen and Shi flying ahead. "Let's follow them."

"Nah." Maku said.

"Okay." Yusuke shrugged. "So, who do you want to possess?"

Maku landed onto a balcony, and looked in through the glass doors at a couple in bed together.

"Eww..." Maku turned around, and Yusuke landed next to Maku.

"Let's watch them - to see the girl." Yusuke said, watching.

"Eww. Sicko!" Maku flew off, and Yusuke followed Maku.

"Hey, I've been married before." Yusuke told him.

Maku looked shocked and looked at Yusuke. "Uhh... But you hit on my sister, how can you be married?"

"I USED to be."

"Oh, what happened?" Maku asked.

Yusuke points at the house with the balcony. "She was fooling around with that guy."

"Yeah..." Maku said. "Um... who should I possess?" Maku asked, changing the subject.

"I got it. When we are to go back into our bodies - I go in yours, and you go in mine!" Yusuke said.

"Sure!" Maku agreed.

"Hey, watch this!" Yusuke lifted his right hand up, and pointed at nothing. "REIGUN!"

(Reigun : Spirit Gun)

A blue blast traveled from Yusuke's finger across the nightsky.

"What the?" Maku asked in surprise. "How'd you do that?"

"I focus all my reiki into my finger, then imagine I was shooting a real gun." Yusuke explained.

"Cool." Maku said.

A brown, burned ghost flew to them outta nowhere. "You hit me!" Then he flew away.

"Hey, when I possess your body - will I be able to use it?" Maku asked.

"Yeah." Yusuke nodded.

Maku looked at Yusuke. "Did you say I could visit people in their sleep?"

"Yes I did." Yusuke nodded. "How come? Who did you want to see?"

"No one. I just want to give them nightmares - that'd be FUNNY." Maku chuckled.

"Start with him." Yusuke pointed to a house. "Old man Charlie."

"But he's an old man. I'd give him a heart attack." Maku pointed out, and flew down into a restaurant.

"But old man Charlie can fight back." Yusuke told him, following.

"I don't want to." Maku stated.

"Fine." Yusuke shrugged.

Maku looked around in the restaurant. "Is anyone sleeping in here?"

No one was.

"You should try a house, like the one across the street." Yusuke told him.

Maku then flipped, and flew backwards to the other house.

"When's Shuuichi coming home?" A woman with black hair, asked her husband.

"I'm right here, Mom." Shuuichi said, coming into the house.

"No, your step brother, Shuuichi." His step mother said, sighing softly.

"Hey, it's Kurama's family." Yusuke said.

Kurama's step father then said: "I'll call his cell."

"Alright." Kurama's mother stood up, and went to the kitchen.

"Lemme help, Ma." Shuuichi, Kurama's step brother followed her.

"He's only been out all day, right?" The step father grabbed the phone, and dialed Kurama's cell.
