Claudia didn't reply to her sister right then. Seto was still questioning about the phoenix. Although she had told him that they aren't legend they are just rare and hard to find. She found what she had been looking for and made herself a drink. She drank it slowly. Then got in the freezer. She pulled out a bag of jerky she kept for Vixon's visits. "There you go. You must be hungry. Did you travel all the way from England without stopping?" The phoenix cooed softly. "Did you get stopped at all?" Vixon cooed again. "Good that is good. Do you remember what to if anyone tries to stop you?"

Seto stood up after the last soft coo and interjected. "You don't think she really understands you do you?"

" would be asking questions and getting answers if she didn't." Claudia replied matter-of-factly. Vixon cooed.

"Are you sure you'll be fine just sleeping on the couch?" Claudia questioned an hour and a half after he had arrived.

"Yes, I'll be fine." Seto paused afraid to ask the question that him and Yami both had wanted - but were afraid to - ask. "Claudia . . . " She looked at him questioningly. "Well . . . " Seto sighed. "Do you have a host family at all?

Claudia smiled, him and Yami had both wanted to ask the question. She thought Yami did but couldn't remember exactly. "I don't need one. I was considered an adult when I turned twelve." Her smile faded slightly she would have to explain a little bit deeper. And she knew it.

Seto had just barley started making breakfast when the doorbell rang. He went to let Yami in. "Come one in - " Seto didn't say 'Yami' as he was going to, it wasn't Yami like it should have been. It was a boy about his age, his black hair was slicked back, and his chocolate brown eyes showed worry. His green jumpsuit showed that he had been sweating, hard.

"Where is Claudia? I ran all the way here." The boy said, as he charged into the apartment.

"Wait three seconds there bub. You can't just come barging in here like nobody else's business - "

"Watch it. I'm not in the mood to mess with a high-class-I'm-all-

that-and-more stud." Seto just blinked at this boy's gull.

"Yusuke!" Claudia had heard someone yelling and came out of her room to find Yusuke Urameshi standing in her living room. "Where did you come from?"

"My house? Where else would I come from?"

"Do we really want to go over this one?"

"Not in front of the High-Class baka."

"I'm a what?" Seto said recovering quickly.

"Enough!" Claudia yelled. Then automatically sat on the couch. "Yusuke open the door for The Pharaoh, Seto the hash browns are about to burn." Seto gasped and ran to the kitchen as Yusuke laughed and opened the door to a shocked Yami.

"I was just about to knock." He said as he brought suspended hand back - which was set to knock - down to his side and walked in.

"I know." Claudia replied.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~

After Claudia and Seto had finished their plates of hash browns and eggs. Yami had finished his two plates. Yusuke went back for his sixth helping only to find there was none left. "There is no more? You stupid baka you didn't make enough!"

"Of course I made enough! I wasn't planning on you eating two pans of hash browns 'and' two pans of eggs. I wasn't planning on you at all!âE? Seto retorted standing up from his set.

Claudia looked at Yami who was trying not to laugh as well. After a few seconds they both couldn't contain themselves. "It isn't funny." Seto and Yusuke said together. Then glared at the other.

"Your right Kaiba." Yami said he had stopped so he could try to be serious as always. But couldn't, "It's hilarious!" He roared once more. Claudia on the other hand had to stop laughing she was starting to fell light headed again. But before she could do anything Yusuke was slipping a glass of water into her hands. She could see the herb he had placed in it.

"So Yusuke how did you find out that I had come to Japan?" Claudia questioned after the dizziness had subsided.

"Kuwabara." He said his friend's name she had heard so much about.

"Yes, I remember you telling me about him."

Seto's phone went off. "Hello?" He turned from the group to take the call. "Mokuba!?" Claudia jumped alert. "What is it?" There was a long pause. "How long has it been like that? Okay, I'll be right in. Turn the whole system off; I'll turn it back in when I get there. Thanks for the report."

"What is it Seto?" Seto turned to see a worried Claudia.

"The computer system at KaibaCorp is acting up. It is freezing slowly. I have to go. No one in that company really knows how my computer system works so I have to get it going myself." Claudia nodded then walked Seto to the door to say good-bye.

"He isn't just a high-class guy but the big man too! What will the world think of next? Oh, no Kuwabara's President!" They heard Yusuke's retort from the kitchen.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~

"I'm meeting some friends at the dinner do you want to come? Or will your big shot boyfriend get jealous?" Yusuke asked when the time was approaching noon. Yugi had to go help his grandpa with another shipment. The computer program at KaibaCorp wasn't up yet. So it had just been them for a couple hours. They were catching up they hadn't seen each other for two years now and had lost touch six months ago when Claudia had moved to Japan.

"He isn't my boyfriend. And I don't know, is Keiko going to be there?" Claudia smiled. "We wouldn't want her to be jealous of you spending time with a old school 'girlfriend.'" They laughed. Then headed out the door.

"I sent Clairisa a howler this morning." Claudia said when Yusuke

asked when the last time he had heard from her sister.

"A howler! Whatever for?" He yelled.

"Because she can be so - Kurama? Hiei?" Claudia stood to welcome friends she had meet on a mission she did not long after leaving school.

"We could ask you the same thing." Kurama said just as surprised. Hiei actually smiled as he greeted her.

"You know each other?" Yusuke asked when they finally sat down. He had scooted over for Kurama while Claudia and Hiei sat next to each other.

"Yes, we met a little over a year and a half ago." Yusuke acknowledged the fact that he had not met these two demons until just last year maybe not even that.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~

Claudia couldn't believe that Yusuke knew Kurama and Hiei. She thought it was amazing. Then she thought about what Yusuke told her about Kuwabara being spiritually aware. It was just too much. "Hey watch it." She heard a voice snarled.

"I'm sorry, I guess I really should watch where I'm going." She decided to come out of her thoughts so she didn't run into more people.

"I guess you are in deep thought, if you didn't know I was here." She heard a voice behind her. Hiei knew her so well.

"Yes, I am just really thinking about - " She stopped what was she thinking about?

"Everything?" Hiei offered she nodded. "Sorry about Kuwabara. I guess he followed us then wasn't paying attention.

"So that was Kuwabara?" Claudia couldn't believe he was such a brute.

"Yes, very sensitive isn't he." Hiei stated.

"Yes," Claudia looked ahead. It was a long way from her apartment. She smiled. That meant a long talk with Hiei.
