The next day...
The doctors wondered if their new patient, Shuuichi Minamino was attacked by the same robber as was Maku Shinomuto and Yusuke Urameshi, and if there would be any more victims.
Everyone noticed that Shuuichi Minamino healed abnormally fast, but not unnormal for Kurama, of course.
And his mother, step father and step brother were happy, and would be able to take him home at the end of the week; which was the same time that Yusuke and Maku could go back to their bodies.
Now Maku was a spirit again, and Yusuke still was; with Sai Fujirii, but Kurama didn't become a spirit like them, in fact, he wasn't even unconsious, but was already mostly recovered from his injuries.
"I'm going to get even..." Sai said dangerously, clicking his spirit gun...
No, not that kind - kinda like a 'dead gun'.
Botan hadn't come back from Reikai, as she was talking with Koenma about Sai and his abnormalness.
Sai still had it set on his mind to go after his murderer, and possess him in order to get revenge.
Yusuke looked at Sai. "How are you going to kill him?"
"I said I was going to possess him to turn him in to the police, then re-possess him in his prison cell, and somehow murder him. But he'll be commiting suicide, at least, that'll be what they think..." Sai nodded.
"So, you're going to become a murderer?" Yusuke asked, because that didn't make any sense.
"Just returning the favor." Sai smiled wickedly. "Maybe I won't kill him... just turn him into the police..." Sai said after rethinking it.
Maku wasn't paying attention, but was just sitting nearby his body, in thought similar to trance.
"See ya." Sai walked through the door when he left - he still acted like he was alive even if he wasn't.
"Yeah, see ya." Yusuke said.
The door opened - and much to Yusuke's surprise (Maku wasn't paying attention) - Sai walked back in.
"I forgot something." Sai said, picking up his ghost bag, and tossing it over his shoulder, then he closed the door behind him when he left again.
"HOW'D HE DO THAT!" Yusuke shouted in surprise, just as the nurse in the room fainted, knocking over some medical tables.
Doctors came rushing in from the hall because of the loud crash, and began crowding about the fainted nurse, wondering what happened.
"Hey, Maku, let's get outta of here. It's too loud in here." Yusuke grabbed Maku's shoulder.
"Nah." Maku answered, and Yusuke shrugged.
"Suit yourself." Yusuke left, flying up onto the roof, where he spotted Sai, who just broke into someone's car, and started driving off with it.
"Gawd, he's really different!" Yusuke began following Sai in the stolen car.
Oh, you're probably thinking that ghosts / spirits in Yuu Yuu Hakusho can't touch and interact with stuff like Sai can.
Well, yeah.
But by study of spirits, a spirit who is very filled with alot of emotion, like anger, fear, or anything, can interact with objects and people, like opening doors, and what-not.
And Sai is very upset at his murderer, and so, Sai Fujirii has quite alot of spiritual potential... and... he possessed the car too, by the way. So now he's a poltergeist.
Later...
Maku was sitting nearby his body still, when a doctor came in, and injected Yusuke with a needle.
"There." The doctor stood back. "That should make him better... I'm feeling a bit sick myself." Then the doctor left.
Maku got up and left, not minding or thinking that the doctor was suspicious.
He then flew off to one of his favorite parks, Onyx Park.
Onyx Park was surrounded by hills which was apart of the park, and had a large field area of flat ground, covered by grass.
A temple-like old building, with one story only, was on the field area of Onyx Park.
Maku had never been in there, and decided he would go in now.
Maku landed on the stairway leading up to the temple building, and then slowly made his way up the stairs, and into the building.
Maku entered the first room, which was entirely empty, save for a table in the middle of the dimlighted by candles room.
He walked over, and noticed that on the table was a teal-colored crystal, which he picked up.
Once Maku picked it up, his vision was filled with a bright teal-colored light like the crystal.
Before Maku knew it, he was laying down on the floor.
He stood up, and noticed there was a tall man, wearing a mask and armor standing on the other end of the room.
'He looks like a warrior...' Maku thought to himself, now noticing that other people were around this tall warrior man.
A man with long, black hair walked over to the warrior, and penetrated a red crystal into the warrior, then walked back away from him.
The warrior then attacked Maku with a few punches, and then spoke in a different language.
"What?" Maku asked weakly, then Maku hit the warrior with a rock, breaking his mask, revealing an ugly face with a big nose, with auburn brown hair trailing over his right eye.
As the battle continued, the warrior's hair turned to white, and the flame aura surrounding him rose.
When it ended, Maku was laying on the floor, and then the warrior spoke to Maku, but in English this time.
"Only one may see this... Only she can." The warrior told Maku, with a hand over his own right eye, which was covered by his hair.
"Hey, what did you do to my arena?" A man shouted at them as he came in, but Maku spoke only to the warrior now.
"Watch out. My sister, Shi, will avenge me!" Maku said with his last strength as he blacked out, and was in the original temple again.
The reason why Maku said Shi would avenge him was because he assumed the warrior was talking about his sister, because he felt something terrible had happened to her.
The teal-colored crystal lay a few inches away from Maku's hand on the floor where he was laying.
"I can't faint... I'm a ghost..." Maku said outloud to himself, as he just layed there.
Sai Fujirii got out of the car he possessed to do his bidding, and then he went over to a house, breaking the door down with his anger.
The murderer was asleep in his bed, and the alarm clock on the sidetable was flashing red numbers that read: 11:42.PM
Sai looked at Yusuke, who went with Sai. "I'm going to do it."
"Okay." Yusuke shrugged, thinking this was going to be fun.
Sai flew over, and possessed his murderer.
The window in Kurama's hospital room's curtains were blowing gently because of the wind coming in.
Kurama was just laying on his side, looking across the room out the window at the tree outside his room, when he noticed a shadow sleeping in the tree, and smiled when he realized it was Hiei.
Kurama sat up on the side of his bed, and then stood up, walking over to the window.
He opened it wide enough for him to rest his arms crossed on the windowstill, and whistled at Hiei, to wake him up.
"Hiei?" Kurama called softly, wondering if Hiei would wake up or not, and tell him what he had to.
"Hiei?" Kurama called a little louder this time, but Hiei didn't even move a muscle.
"Shi..." Hiei murmured quietly, and Kurama lifted his head up higher.
"She? Who's she?" Kurama asked himself, and shrugged it off.
"'Night." Kurama closed the windows to where it was only cracked open an inch, and then he went back to bed, laying down under the covers.
The next day...
"Late last night, Derrick Reeter, who murdered Sai Fujirii, age 22; turned himself in. And his fingerprints were an exact match. He even brought all the stolen treasure." The news reporter was saying on the television, and Sai and Yusuke were watching the television in a cafe nearby the hospital.
"Well, at least I didn't have a family that'll cry over me..." Sai said, looking at Yusuke.
"What? No family? What happened?" Yusuke asked, feeling sorry for Sai.
"My family died in 9-11." Sai told him, and Yusuke nodded sadly.
"Sorry, man." Yusuke patted Sai's shoulder to comfort him.
"But I'm still not going to Reikai." Sai said stubbornly, and Yusuke smiled.
"I wish you could come back to life, even if you had to be in a different person's body, so you could be apart of my team." Yusuke nodded, sighing, and looking out the window at passing cars.
Sai looked at Yusuke. "I could possess someone, and not help them." Sai said, shrugging.
"Uh uh." Yusuke shook his head. "You'd get in trouble."
"With who?"
"With Reikai. Because the longer you possess someone without reiki, they die eventfully." Yusuke told him, remembering Sayaka and Shota.
"Hmm..." Sai murmured thoughtfully, and looked at Yusuke. "I'll possess you when you come to life!"
"Sorry, Maku already has dibs." Yusuke laughed, placing his arms behind his head.
"Maku will have to go to his body." Sai pointed out.
"YOU WERE SERIOUS!" Yusuke screamed in Sai's face, very upset now.
Sai just stared at Yusuke.
"Look, Sai, I really wish I could help you somehow, but I don't think I can in any way." Yusuke explained to him, and resumed his original sitting position in the chair.
"If you're not dead, how can you be a spirit? It's not right." Sai asked Yusuke, and Yusuke looked at him.
"Near-death experience again." Yusuke told him simply, shrugging.
Sai sighed, and started to just gaze out the window, thinking.
"They seem to be healing fast now... maybe they'll be up by tomorrow?" A doctor said, looking over some files in Yusuke's and Maku's room when Yusuke and Sai came in.
"Hey..." Yusuke glanced around. "Where's Maku?"
"Not here." Sai answered smartly.
"Hmph..." Yusuke then flew up to the roof, looking around.
"Man, where could that kid be?"
"I dunno." Sai climbed up onto the roof from the edge.
"Damnit." Yusuke wished he could punch something or someone right now, but just sat down on the rooftop.
A doctor walked into Kurama's room, to find Kurama sitting up in bed.
The doctor dropped his notebook and pen, in surprise. "You're up!" He pointed at Kurama, who smiled.
"Yes." Kurama nodded, and then gazed over at the open window.
"Whatcha looking at?" The doctor asked, picking up his notebook and pen as he went over to look out the window.
"Just... a bird." Kurama yawned, slumping down onto his pillow, stretching his arms, then resting them onto his blanket.
"It's kinda cold..." The doctor hugged himself, rubbing his arms.
"Are you alright?" Kurama asked, not knowing this was the same sick doctor who injected Yusuke with a needle the night before.
"I just have a little cold." The doctor nodded, looking over at the room temperature, then he left the room.
Kurama jumped out of bed, and went over to the window, looking out.
He leaned out the window a bit, but only noticed a car driving by down on the street, and some people going along their way.
"Hmm..." Kurama wondered where Hiei was, then he yawned, and went back to bed to rest.
Hiei sat in a chair at his castle which he owned because of being Mukuro's heir.
Mukuro, by the way, was out doing something better then just being at home.
Hiei was just sitting there, with his arms crossed, while he was using his Jagan to watch someone...
(Jagan: Evil Third Eye)
In Hiei's Jagan's vision...
A pile of books fell down from the bookcase in the sitting room that Shi crashed into because she tripped over her cat.
"Mao...mao..." Shi whined, sitting on her knees, and then glared at her cat, which was just looking at her from atop the coffee table.
"Meow." The cat, Maggie, tilted her head, staring curiously at Shi, who just sighed, continuing to glare at Maggie.
"Dummy." Shi grumbled, and stood up with the support of the arm of the chair.
"Ah ah!" Shi placed a hand onto her lower back, feeling very stiff. "Crud..." Shi stared at the books on the floor like they would get up and go back to their places for her.
"I'm..."
At Hiei's castle...
Hiei fixed his headband on his forehead, standing up. "I'll help her."
Then he sped out of his castle, through the forest...
"Maggie!" Shi whined at her tabby cat, placing a few books back, then glanced at the wall clock.
It was still about a half hour before school started, and she wasn't even ready.
Shi was wearing a pink long sleeve button-up shirt, over dark green shorts, with light aqua green socks pulled up - that was the outfit she had slept in.
"Let me help you."
Shi heard a voice, then before she knew it, all the books were in their place, and Shi stood up, surprised.
"W-Wha?" Shi looked around, but there was no trace of anyone else in the room at all.
Shi stood there, speechless, and wide-eyed, surprised.
"Meow." Maggie cried at Shi, bringing her back to reality.
"I... I'll just pretend this didn't happen..." Shi said quietly as she headed out to go upstairs to change for school.
Hiei was sitting contently on the Shinomuto's roof, waiting for Shi to come out of the house so he could follow her undetected.
When Shi did come out, she was all dressed for school with a backpack and her brother, Fox by her side as they walked down the street.
They both wore the school uniforms that their school gave them.
Fox wore black pants, with a grey button-up shirt, with his black jacket over his shoulder, and black socks with dress-up shoes,
while Shi wore a grey sweater over a white button-up shirt, with the school symbol on the right chest side of the sweater, with a knee-length grey and black knit-patterned skirt over black pants, with black socks and dress-up shoes.
