Me: Well, here I am again. Sadly this time I'm at the virtual hospital where all of the abused virtual creatures go when they get attacked. So far I've seen, animals ranging from little bugs that have been squished (then stepped on by me just for the heck of it), to some weird thing I couldn't for the life of me identify with unknown injuries (they don't know what happened but the thing kept saying weird things like 'pwitty purple birdies' like a three-year old child and something I think was in an other language. I figure that because Hiei and Kurama couldn't understand it. Come to think of it I haven't seen those two in a while.
Hiei: That might have something to do with that bag on your head baka.
Me: Yeah, I guess, but could you help, I think I'm lost.
Hiei: (sweat drop) How lost do you think you are?
Me: Do you know how lost Yusuke and Kuwabara are on a math test?
Hiei: No. What's a math test?
Kurama: A math test is like a bunch of math questions typed on a bit of paper that's given to you by the teacher during class that you have to answer within a limited amount of time.
Me: No Kurama, that's the lightly put version of it and how did you get in here?
Kurama: I used the door.
Me: Oh, well, okay. Anyway the way you said it made tests sound almost fun. Tests are NOT FUN! They are evil little buggers that make you study and make you stay up all night to learn the answers to their questions of evil, then when you get to school and get in your seat you know what they do? (Dramatic pause, evil looking lights shine on Pan, or at least the bag that's still on top of her head) They make you forget everything you stayed up to learn.
Kurama: (blinks) That was anti-climactic. Plus tests are fun and what do you mean by evil little buggers? I thought Bugger was right next to you on the bed?
Me: She is, or at least I think so, I still have a paper bag on my head and I'm still lost in it.
Kurama: (sweat drop) How can you get lost in a paper bag?
Hiei: How should I know? The baka is just that, an idiot.
Me: I am not! It's that mazes are really confusing and without the use of my arms and legs it's even harder to get around. I can't even use my powers as the authoress to get it off since I can't see anything.
Hiei: OH for crying out loud! (pulls of bag and looks into it) Wow, there really was a maze in the bag. (Bag shows the most confusing maze anyone has ever seen)
Me: Oh thank you Hiei! You're the best!
Bugger: (muffled by full body cast that the injuries given to her by Kurama required to heal) Or en idt
Me: BUGGER! Th- hey, what did you say? Well let's use the translator I stole from that guy at the burger factory:)
Hiei: How are you able to steal anything and more importantly, when did you go to a burger factory?
Me: I never went to a burger factory and I never said I did.
Kurama: Yes you did, just a minute ago.
Me: Your delusional. Anyway, as I was saying I will now use the Translator 8999!
Kurama: What happened to the other 8998?
Me: Hiei burnt them to a crisp after they started translating. I think it scared him.
Hiei: (glares)
Translator: (robotic voice) Don't you dare repeat this to anyone else or you will meet the most painful and bloody death I can think of.
Kurama: Wow, that thing is good.
Me: Told you, now Bugger, could you repeat that?
Bugger: (nods) Or en idt
Me: Man, it's not working. HEY! I know why it's turned on to 'evil and dark demons'.
Kurama: That's Hiei for you.
Me: Yes, you're right there. Okay, just let me set it on 'idiots'. (tinkers with the translator) Okay, will you work now?
Translator: (silent)
Me: DARN IT! WHY WON'T YOU WORK? Oh, maybe I have to set it to 'lowest form of intelligence'.
Hiei: Wouldn't that be Kuwabaka?
Me: Cute nickname. But no you are incorrect, next to what I just said it has 'if possible even stupider then Kuwabara'
Hiei: That thing speak s my language.
Me: And every other one too. Now will you work for me now?
Translator: You're an idiot
Me: Well Bugger, look who's talking Mrs. Stupider than Kuwabaka? Oh well, WELCOME BACK TO THE WORLD OF THE LIVING SHE WHO WAS FLOATING IN IMPENDING DARKNESS! Heh sorry about that guys I had to say that.
Kurama: Since Pan is mocking Bugger about being stupider than Kuwabara and Hiei is trying to figure out how a maze got in a paper bag I will respond to the reviews.
Nana: Pan would like to say thanks for the positive attitude with the story and would, if she was responding herself say 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN RIGHT NOW I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT CHAPTERS DO YOU MEAN SINCE IT'S NOT THE SAME TIME AS TO WHEN YOU REVIEWED YOU AREN'T LOOKING FORWARD!' but that would be if she was answering which she isn't. Thank Inari. What she would mean is that when you put 'Right now I'm looking forward to future chapters that I won't understand' it kind of sounded like right now you don't really care. We of course mean that as a joke. Also we all, Hiei, would love to help you understand the story, characters and anything and everything else.
Hiei: Kurama, why do you degrade yourself to answer these reviews? It's pathetic.
Me: No It's not it's very helpful to me and plus I'll be answering the next review. Thanks for filling in Kurama.
Michele: BEHOLD READERS! The person I replicated Bugger after. I really do call her bugger sometimes. Anyway, I'm somewhat happy you love this story but did you really have to sound so truthful and sweet (never thought I'd call my little sister sweet, she can be a real pain) in your review. I was just learning to hate you again! (Can't you all just feel the love there? Rolls eyes It's weird when we work well together)
Me: Well here is something you WILL need for this chapter if you want to understand some parts of the story. ENJOY!

Unfortunately, instead of leaving in a few months, the next escape opportunity came about three centuries later. During that time the two of us adapted well to our new environment. Hiei became more ruthless, emotionless and silent. I was the same but Hiei beat me in all but one thing, strength. We both also became less fun loving and more into the kind of fun you would expect in demons like ourselves, the pain kind. In company such as what we had (thieves) we became extremely well trained thieves and became accustomed to things such as, death, pain, and blood. However we both agreed not to kill without reason. On our three hundred seventy sixth birthday the chance to run came.
Flash Back:
" Bye Hiei, good luck without me." That was the last thing Hiei heard from his sister before she walked out of his life.
" See 'ya kitty" Pan smiled, not smirked but actually smiled for the first time in three hundred seventy years. With only the red, blue and black tear gem on her bed to remember her by, the cheetah (Pan is able to transform into any cat known to the three worlds) disappeared into the early morning.
Meanwhile with another certain band of thieves two weeks later, "Come on batty, I'll come back first sign of danger,"
"All I'm asking is for you to STOP CALLING ME BATTY! We all trust your judgment, have fun"
"Domo Arigato" – Batty -. Laughing the dog demon left a confused bat demon behind.
While on her walk the inu youkai came upon a cat. Her instincts told her to attack the sleeping humanoid cat but something was holding her back. –She doesn't look good. Wonder what's wrong? Maybe I should wake her up. – Of course though, the female dog never got a chance to wake up the cat. The feline, we know as Pan, was up and ready to attack, devoid of the pain her hind leg gave her. Her left hind leg, having being broken during a theft last year, was never properly taken care of. The pain was starting to get stronger every day. Today however, the pain was to much for the three hundred year old cat could stand. She cried out in pain but growled when the dog started to advance on her.
'I should help her but I can only help if she wants me to. Right now it doesn't look like she wants me anywhere near her.'
'Stupid leg, it hurts so bad.' Pan took this moment to curse her life and luck. The dog saw the neko wasn't able to go anywhere and was a little on the thin side, so she got the cat something to eat. After she put the food within the young cat's reach (demon cats are considered young until the age of five hundred) her ears slightly twitched, showing she was interested in the rat. Only after the dog backed up would the kitten take a step forward. Even then her steps were cautious and unsure. That's when a sudden thought slammed into the dog's mind like a brick wall.
' Why do I care what happens to her?' That's when said cat took her annual five-second look up. That's all it took, one look up and the inu knew why she cared. No eye contact was necessary. 'Those eyes, so emotionless yet so innocent at the same time. She's so young but it's obvious she's seen and been through so much. Huh? Who would've guessed? A dog caring about a cat.' " Hey girl, what are you doing here?"
" First off, my name is not 'girl', second, why I'm here doesn't concern you." Pan remembered the most important rule of the makai: never give away information to any creature you don't know, especially if you're a wanted thief.
" Will you tell me your name then?"
" Names are useless, they're only useless titles given to you by your worthless parents." (A/N: Well ain't she a ray of sunshine. Sorry, I will now continue with the regularly scheduled fic.)
" Well, anyway, could you stay here? I'm going to go get my brother. Maybe him and his plants can help your leg. Of course, can you transform into a kitten or small cat such as that?"
"I can, but why do you need me to?" Pan listened quietly as the dog explained that she wanted Pan to transform so she could get her back to the campsite easier. "Fine, but could I at least know your name?" the cat asked while making her eyes as irresistible as possible, you know, the look that makes your heart melt. Pan knew this would work before the dog could even look at her, after all it always worked with Hiei and any other demon she used it on. One of the perks of being a female neko demon. " Fine, my name is Inuhasaki (pronounced: eu has a ke)." With that, the unusual pair was off. Pan (as a cheetah cub now) in Inuhasaki's arms and walking back the way she came and to the camp. Thankfully there weren't any demons to get in their way on the way back. As they were nearing the camp Pan translated the Shepard's name " Dog blade edge?"
"Yeah, everyone always tells me that it fits, but at some points I have to disagree with them."
" When would be one of those times? Who are they?"
"One of those times would be now and by they I mean my brother and partners." Inuhasaki answered with a smile. ' She has a knack for asking questions but knows when to stop. Wow, I never would have thought anyone could be better at that then him.'
When they arrived at the camp three other creatures were visible talking amongst themselves. Actually, two were talking the other was leaning on a nearby tree. Pan saw them and immediately stiffened up and bared her claws, Inuhasaki just stopped. All of the figures saw the inu and stood up. One of the demons was about six feet and seven inches and had large black wings protruding from it's back. The one on the tree was a little shorter and had triangular ears on its head and a tail swishing with interest at the neko and inu. The other seemed to be the leader and also had ears on its head but his tail had less movement then the other one and was about seven feet. He (she?) seemed the leader because he came up to the two and the others hung back a bit. Since it was still early Pan couldn't see the creature as it spoke, "Hey, what do you have there?"
End Flash Back
Me: well how did you like it? It was my first ever cliffy YAY ME! (Does a happy dance)
Kurama: Are you talking about (I stop my dance and cover his mouth)?
Hiei: Well why don't you tell us so we don't accidentally tell anyone.
Me: Okay all of the readers can watch my pet gerbil dance.
Announcer Guy: OKAY! Are you all ready to see EDDY THE DANCING GERBIL? Well here he is. (Walks off stage and gerbil walks on stage)
Eddy: (starts doing weird dance whispers are heard in background but dance music drowns it out)
Me: Okay, you two got that?
Hiei Kurama: (nods head)
Me: Good. (Realizes something) GASP! NOOOOO! THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED!
Kurama: Well, you seem to have strange times to yell no at the end of the story. Oh well, what should have never happened?
Hiei: Her yelling in my ear.
Me: (glares at Hiei) What should have never happened is (eyes get soggy) I'm losing inspiration for this story. I don't know how it happened but it did. Also sorry about yelling in your ear Hiei.
Kurama: Do you think it might have something to do with school?
Me: Maybe, after all, my language arts class is now always practicing for the upcoming FCAT test. It starts in two weeks and we haven't practiced for the stupid state test all year. Why we start now is a mystery to me. Lately I've been stressed out with that but my friends don't know that since I never show I am. This is the reason I haven't updated lately if you want anyone or anything to blame; blame FCAT and the idiot who came up with the whole idea.
Kurama: No one can stop the test but maybe if you tell your friends you're stressed about it you might fell better?
Me: Kurama, I've always respected your opinion but this time I must say that's not going to work out to well. You see if I tell them then yeah, I will feel better but I would soon after start to feel horrible. I'm kind of what you would consider someone who is either the (only) one in the right mind (my friends can get find of nuts sometimes, actually I based two of my OC's Alex and Beth on two good friends they can be smart when they want to if they're not acting crazy which is most of the time) or the comedy relief (I prefer this role and this is what I usually am) so we don't all go nuts. So if I'm stressed we're all stressed.
Kurama: In other words you can't tell them you're stressed because if you do they'll all freak out?
Me: Exactly! Glad you understood. So fir those of you I might have lost earlier, I have this test I have to take in two weeks, and I'm totally stressed about it. Plus we're studying for the FCAT (the evil test I was talking about) in the class I usually write my story and I'm busy at home so don't expect another update any time soon unless by some miracle I obtain extra time to write and type up the next chapter. Hiei, could you please close us out?
Hiei: Fine, Pan again only wants at least two reviews before continuing this story and as said before, she is just starting to lose interest in this story but doesn't want to abandon it. She might continue it sometime in the very far future unless the whole story gets deleted on her computer, and she loses the written story in the black holes found in the conveniently in her desk that she cleans out every three years, or her book bag. She would also like you to know that she hasn't given up all hope and would like to continue the story but needs some reason to continue since no one besides her family has reviewed and thinks this story is being completely ignored. One last thing she would like, and I quote ' the pretty and kind future reviewers' to and I quote again ' PLEASE REVIEW and have a wonderful day'.
Kurama: Wow Hiei, that's the longest you've ever spoken at once.
Hiei: Shut up fox.
Me: He's back.
Hiei: Hn.
