~*What's stronger than hate? *~

A/n Sadly, Kassie and me have not written a bashing story for our dear friends the lawyers yet. But I have not updated in forever so I going on! I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever, I had to read a 266-page book, write a story, (Ice and darkness, You can read it on the net right now.) make a 3-D model of a cell, write 2 other papers, and fill out a 6 page worksheet which by the way was very difficult in one week!!!! I thought I deserved a little break after that, that's why it's been like two weeks, one for work, and one for rehab from the work! Well, it's winter break now! I have a very hard time putting up with my extended family at Christmas and was wondering if anyone else would like to share his or hers.

Bob- sadly, she can't get along with any of her grandparents, aunts, uncles or cousins.

A/n- He's right, they always try to get rid of me. That's why I'm going over to my best friend Maggie's during that joyous time when they come over! ^_^. Well, I'm going to write now!

Bob- no you aren't, your going to make an important announcement to the readers.

A/n- Oh yeah! Thank you kitty! : Kisses kitty on head: Ok here it is. PLEASE READ THIS!!!

A/n- can I ask you guys a question? : Turns to lawyers:

Lawyers-: Are reading sappy mangas: Sure!

A/n- who hired you??

Lawyers- stupid people

A/n- ok Well, I don't own anything besides those mangas you're reading. Hey! Could I sue you guys for that?

Lawyers- no

A/n-: Tear: Ok well NOW to the story!

          When Yusuke jumped down the well, he prepared himself for the force from landing, but it never came. He just kept on floating downward. When he finally did reach the bottom he realized that Keiko wasn't at the bottom. Wondering where she went, he crawled up the well and headed towards a small village.

          'Keiko had to have those clothes somewhere… And they looked old so maybe someone from that village gave them to her. And maybe she's with them.' Yusuke sprinted as fast as he could towards the village. He could sense an evil, Musty aura floating near the village.

          'Keiko maybe strong, but who knows if she could handle something like that.' Yusuke thought as he pushed himself to run faster.

~*~*~

      Nuta walked down the street looking for a shoe store to buy some new shoes

'Master Miro won't mind if I make a quick stop to get some new shoes, after all I need to look my best when I go to get Urasue!' Nuta thought. However, Nuta was an idiot and wasn't able to think and walk at the same time so she ran into a boy that coincidently went o Yusuke and Keiko's school. (Looks like someone isn't multi taskible!)

     "Hey watch where you're going!" Nuta yelled.

     "Hey lady! You're the one who- whoa! Never mind…" He said as he checked Nuta over. Seeing this Nuta put her hand on hips and leaned over closer to his body.

      "Why hello there handsome, you wouldn't mind telling me where I could get some new shoes now would you?" The boy shook his head rapidly.

     "I'll take you there myself! A pretty girl like you needs protection from the thugs in this town!" Nuta narrowed her eyes at the boy and backed up.

     "I think I can take care of myself, thank you." If there were two things Nuta despised, it was being treated like girl or being rejected. She had been both in one day. Nuta started to walk down th4e boardwalk again but the boy followed her.

      "I don't think you can, some of the biggest thugs live around her! Like Yusuke Urimeshi for instance!" Nuta stopped and turned around.

     "How do you know Yusuke?" She inquired.

     "I have to go to school with the creep." Nuta smirked.

       "Oh really, do you happen to know anything about him? Where he lives, Things he likes, what kind of woman he likes…"

     "I don't really have anything to do with him, and frankly I don't want anything to do with him and neither should you!" He said. While he was saying this, Nuta was digging in her purse. When she finally found her lipstick and applied it generously to her lips then without hesitation kissed him on the check.

     "I'll ask you again, what do you know of Yusuke?" The boy's eyes turned a dull gold and his face was emotionless.

     "He lives in a apartment with his mother, I'm not sure where. He ditches school a lot, no one is quite sure where he goes to; out of town I guess. As for girls, He doesn't seem to have any interest except for his girlfriend Keiko; he's crazy about her. However, I hear that they had a fight recently. Other than that, I have no information." The boy said in one tone. Nuta patted his check playfully.

     "Good boy, now go and buy me some shoes that look like these." She pointed at her shoes. The boy nodded and took of in one direction.

    "Yusuke, it seems that Keiko is the only thing that keeps me from you… When she's dead I'll have you under my control. Just like that boy." She said to herself.

~*~*~

      "So tell me what I'm supposed to do again?" Inuyasha asked. They had managed to get him to sit in a seat with help from our favorite fire demon's threatening experiences. (Did you know without his hair, Hiei is 4' 10"? and his hair is like 1 foot! He really isn't that short!)

      "Keiko has the jewel of death and we need to find Miro, so you get to protect Keiko." Kuwabara said coldly.

     "Kuwabara, I know you're upset about Yusuke and Keiko, but don't take it out on Inuyasha." Kurama reasoned with him. Kuwabara nodded a little.

     "Hey! Wait a minute! What makes you think that I'm going to waste my time helping you?" Inuyasha asked.

     "I'll tell you why!" Hiei said as he closed in on Inuyasha.

"One, because you wan the jewel. Two, Keiko is Sakura's reincarnation. Three, Keiko can 'sit' you if you don't. Four, I told you too!" Hiei said as he grabbed his sword.

Inuyasha: O_O

               -_- "Fine. I'll watch over the stupid girl." He grunted.

     "And let me warn you, I know that you want the jewel of death; and as you know the jewel is in her body. So I'll tell you this once, if I find so much as a scratch on her, you'll be a dead dog." Hiei said.

     "So are you Yusuke then? The one who Keiko was talking about?"

     "No. Yusuke has emotions for the girl; I have no emotions for anyone or anything. However, He is the leader and the strongest one of all of us. We may need his help. And I know as well as anyone that if she's hurt, his focus goes out the door; along with our lives and the planet."

     "Ooookkkaaayyyy." Inuyasha said slowly.

"But if he loves her, why do I have to protect her? Where I come from you protect your mate." Kuwabara started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Inuyasha asked confused.

     "You said MATE!" Kuwabara said between laughs. Hiei rolled his eyes and Kurama jabbed Kuwabara in the ribs with his elbow.

     "Normally yes, but Sakura is somehow tricking Keiko into thinking that she hates Yusuke. You are Yusuke's reincarnation so she will be able to tolerate you, and maybe even manage to kick Sakura out of her head." Kurama explained.

     "So will you help?" Inuyasha turned to see Botan.

     "AH! Where the heck did you come from?" Botan giggled.

     "Oh I pop up here and there…"

     "Yeah whatever. Where is the stupid girl anyway?" Inuyasha asked as he glanced around the room.

     "Yes, they have been gone for a long time…" Inuyasha turned to his other said to see Koenma.

     "AH!" Inuyasha yelled as fell off his chair.

" @_@ Will you people stop doing that!" He yelled.

~*~*~

     Nuta crawled out of the well sweating and panting.

     "That thing is getting harder to climb every time I use it!" She exclaimed.

"Now, where is- Hmmm, that's interesting… It seems Yusuke and Keiko are in the village." She smirked.

"Perfect."
