Discalimer: I own none of the characters in the story except for Lina.

Someone was kind enough to point out that Kurama and Yohko are the same person. I knew this, so I'll explain the whole talking thing. When he's talking to the Yohko inside of himself....I kinda of view it as the sensible part of him that has adapted to being i nthe human world and the youkai that is still the same no matter how long he's been in the human world.

Sorry it took me so long to get this up, I was trying to tell the story from a couple of different views and didn't really have an easy time with the two I chose. So if this chapter stinks, I'm sorry.


Yusuke was confused along with being pissed that Konema didn't give more of an explanation on his current mission. Now he was sitting at Genkai's with Kuwabra and Kurama getting told why there were four people there from some place in the States. "So, you are saying that the three of us are mutants and that the place for us to learn to control our 'powers' is at this Institute of yours?"

Looking over to the voice that spoke, Yusuke was not surprised to find it had been Kurama who spoke. Even though he had been distracted he was still listening to everything around them. That occasionally caught Yusuke off guard sometimes. He had been starting to wonder about Kurama's strange behavior at least until he had found who was causing it. She certainly didn't have the same feel as the other three with her. She was different from them yet a little like them. He had tried to figure out if she was a youkai or not but so far couldn't figure anything out especially since she had ducked away from the growing group.

"Yes the Institute is a very good place for people like ourselves to have a place to fit in. Just as it is a very good place to learn among others," This was the response they received from Ororo, the tall statuesque African woman that Yusuke had found Kuwabra staring at more than a few times. Though Kuwabra was hopelessly and madly in love with Yukina, he knew beauty when he saw it.

Kurama nodded slightly and went back to his deep thinking while looking out of the open door of the main room they were currently occupying. Shaking his head a little, Yusuke looked to Jean, the red haired girl around their age as she stood near Kurama giving him the same look that many girls gave him. A throat clearing noise took Yusuke's attention off of Kurama and Jean for the moment as he faced his tormentor of a teacher.

"What Grandma?"

"Are you listening to them idiot?"

"Yeah...mutants....an Institute in the States. Anything I miss?" This little exchange caused the newcomers to stare at them curiously, which resulted in a smirk from him and Genkai since they always treated each other like this. Kuwabra had remarkably stayed quiet throughout most of this conversation. Partially because he had the lingering thought that he could sneak away to see Yukina if she was, even though she was not at Genkai's temple this particular day.


Genkai simply shook her head and looked back to Logan who had an eyebrow raised in curiosity. He merely shook his head a little too. This day just seems to get weirder and weirder. He thought to himself as he looks to Ororo who looked just as lost as Jean. "Don't worry about anything...they don't seem to be."

Leaning back against the wall with that constant scowl on his face, he was merely giving his thoughts on everything when Ororo and Jean couldn't find the right type of answer to give the three young kids. He had been studying them since getting into the room and for some reason he was getting this odd feeling from them. Mainly like they were hiding something that they really didn't want Logan and the others to know.

He watched as the dark haired boy, Yusuke, he thought that was the kid's name went to the red haired boy, Shuichi. After a few hushed words that Logan couldn't pick up because of the others talking, he noticed how Shuichi slipped out of the room and Yusuke acted as if nothing was going on. "So aside from getting better control of our mutant powers what else would we be doing at this place of yours?"

"Normal teenage things that you do here. There is a city not even thirty minutes away from the institute with tons of stuff to do there." Jean responded to the question as it was posed by Yusuke. "Movie theaters are there, along with a mall, and several other things that I'm sure you would have no trouble keeping yourself from getting bored."

"Urameshi keeping himself from getting bored......that's funny." Kuwabra said as he was trying hard not to bust out in laughing, Yusuke calmly walked up behind him.

"What's that supposed to mean Kuwabra?" He had a look like he was fixing to hit the other boy even with the others watching them.

Before another word could be said, Logan thought he heard a loud crash outside. Pushing himself off the wall, he quickly went out of the room before going at a run to where he thought the noise came from. He could still catch Lina's scent in the air, along with Shuichi's, but it was the other two scents in the air that he had that made him mad. Extending his claws out, Logan went after Sabertooth just as Sabertooth became aware of Logan standing there.


Yusuke had followed Logan out of the room along with the others, but stopped when he spotted the short little fire apparition standing nearby. "How long have you been here, Hiei?"

"Long enough." Was all the response Yusuke got which was the usual and didn't seem to bother him.

"Let's go...something happened and everyone is going to see what it was. If a fight breaks out, I want to be there so that I don't miss out on that." Yusuke said with a slight smirk as the two caught up to the others.


Well this is where I'm going to end this chapter....again sorry it took so long to get it up. Next chapter I'll finish up with these guys.....maybe. Please R & R.
