Chapter 5

Yusuke- "Wow! That's some of the best food I've ever had!" The black haired boy rubbed his now very full stomach.

Kuwabara- "Me too!"

Hiei- "hn..."

Kurama- "Yes, excellent food, Miss. I thank you." The little maid blushed.

Maid- "Follow me, Sirs."

They walked for about ten minutes, that is, until they heard the girl running towards them. A pretty, small, pale girl with light colored hair came rushing towards them. She also had her hair swept up in a bun; a loose bun that was coming undone. She also had on a large dress, except hers was powder blue and pastel pink, and she had a small golden circlet on her forehead. She was looking over her shoulder, and so, ran right into Hiei. The young Koorime was knocked down and the girl staggered back, almost falling as well. Then , at the sound of another's footsteps, hid behind Kuwabara, trying to catch her breath.

Maid- "Princess... Lani?" The boys stared at her, shocked to finally see the crimson eyes and perfectly white skin and hair.

Yusuke and Kuwabara- "LANI??!!!!!"

Lani- "Shhhhh!!!! Shut up!"

Woman's voice- "PRINCESS LANECIA!!! I HAVE YOU NOW!" The strict woman from the entrance came into view, calmly but quickly walking with perfect grace and poise towards the group.

Lani- "Shit!" she took off in the other direction, returning to her flight down the hallway, as if she was running for her life.

Lady- "Such language! NOT PROPER, LANECIA! VARIEN!!!! VAARIIIIEEEN!!!!! CATCH HER!"

Lani- "ACK!!!" She stopped and ran back to her group, followed by a tall man with shoulder length, dark brown hair and dark, narrow eyes. He looked about 25, but he was a demon, so one can never tell.

Hiei- 'Not someone I'd trust...'

Varien- "Now, now, Lanecia. You mustn't run from your fiancee. It simply isn't proper. Well then, Milady Rena. What did my betrothed do this time?

Lani- "Will you stop calling me that?!" she snapped at him , but he ignored her.

Rena- "You do know, Sir Varien, she had a small relapse this morning. She was supposed to be in bed, resting. Instead, our dear Princess found it necessary to practice her... 'sword-technique' with some knight, Sir Jameth, I believe."

Varien- "Swords?! My dear, there is no need! I shall protect you from anything that could ever happen to you!"

Lani- "Then can you please protect me from yourself? Now, if you would please excuse me; Spirit Detectives, you have something for me?"

Yusuke- "Eh? Oh! Yeah, eh, a letter, from Lord Koenma."

Lani- "Oui. From Koenma-sama. Excusez-vous, Madame Rena, Sir Varien." She began to walk off, the four boys with her, when Varien ran back up to her.

Varien- "Wait! Mademoiselle Lanecia! Pardon moi, mais..."

Lani- "What is it, Vari-----" He had just picked her up and held her face to his and pressed her into a rather forceful and obviously one- sided kiss. All four boys stared, mouths open on Kuwabara's and Yusuke's part. Lani looked furious.
