"Suuichi this is Cassie, she is my daughter." Suuichi's mother's
friend from high school - Linda Suuichi thought her name was, yes it
was her name was Linda - said. "Cassie this is Suuichi Shori's
daughter." Suuichi gave a slight bow to the girl in front of him
with what looked like black hair. Suuichi liked the idea of staying
the summer in America, and staying with Shori's friend from when she
was a transfer student in America for a year, but he was by
himself. He missed all his friends.
Suuichi was known as Kurama by his friends because that is who he was. The legendary yokai thief, Youko Kurama. He was also a partner to Yusuke Urimeshi, Spirit Detective of the Reiki. Fortunately Kurama was on vacation, he didn't have to deal with any of that stuff.
"Cassie I want you to show Suuichi around town." Linda said softly to her daughter. "Maybe bring him The Gardens later?" Cassie blinked, she couldn't show him around town, she had a meeting with the Animorphs about the latest insight of what the Yerks were doing. Those nasty creatures who would slithering through your ear and force their way into your brain. Cassie shivered while thinking about what happened to Jake not that long ago. No, she couldn't do it. She wouldn't - she looked at her mom - let him hear a word about the invasion.
Kurama watched as Cassie seemed to have an inner struggle she shivered and he questioned to himself what was wrong. Finally looking up at her mother she sighed. "But mom, I was going to meet Jake at the mall for lunch." She exclaimed, but Kurama knew she was lying. But didn't say anything.
"Just Jake?" Linda questioned with a sly look on her face Cassie didn't seem to notice. "No one else is going to be there?"
Cassie unknowingly feel into her mother's trap. Kurama tried not to laugh. "Rachael will be there as well." Kurama blinked she was still lying, well hiding something, she was nervous.
Linda smiled, "Then they shouldn't mind if you took Suuichi along." She looked at the clock and smiled mischievously. "What time were you suppose to be there?"
Cassie also looked at the clock, but her eyes widened in horror. "I'm late!" She yelled before grabbing Kurama by the arm and her keys, she ran out the door without another word.

Cassie sat there trying to make small talk with Suuichi, she found it difficult. She didn't know anything about him. Finally she remembered why his mom had insisted upon getting her son out of Japan for the summer. She opened her mouth to ask her question when something went off. Cassie reached for her cell phone but then remembered she hadn't grabbed it in her hast. She wasn't the only one late though no one had shone up yet. "What do you want?" Suuichi snapped into what he held. He quickly switched to Japanese so she couldn't understand what he was saying. "I can't do that Boton. I am in a ningen mall with the ningen that I will be spending the summer with."
"Well then I'll let that one go, but Kurama we need Koenma needs your help with something." Boton replied her nervousness evident in her voice.
"I'm on vacation!" Kurama yelling in English without realizing what he was doing. "I don't have to do anything for him!"
"Actually you do or you'll go back to prison." Boton spoke with a matter- of-fact tone that had Kurama growling. He was very much in a Hiei mood.
"What then? What is it that he needs me to do?" Kurama growled through clenched teeth.
"First I have a question for you. Why are you speaking English?"
"I'm in America and I'm trying to get use to the language." Kurama spoke almost cheerfully. He was calming down, he just didn't want to go on a mission because he was in the right spot at the wrong time.
"Whatever," Boton decided she needed to tell Kurama what was going on. "Kurama," She braced herself then told him real quickly. "Hieiismissing!"
"What?" Suuichi started looking around, Cassie couldn't help but wonder what was going on. She was becoming suspicious of this Suuichi character. Then she heard the voice on the other line.
A calm feminine, yet bubbly voice said trying to keep her words strait. "Kurama, calm down."
"But how? Why?" Then Suuichi stopped. "Never mind I know how." he spoke coldly. Cassie shivered against her will. He was so cold. "I know why. But I don't understand you should have been watching. You should have known he would try this the moment I wasn't around." He switched to Japanese. "I'll look for him, when I find him I will tell you."
"Oh, and Kurama." Boton said calmly. "'Call' back in about five minutes. Koenma needs to speak with you about something."
Suuichi growled. Cassie couldn't help but think of how unhuman it sounded. But it was ridiculous. He had to be human. She thought about he growl it sounded like a fox she heard once. No, Cassie shook that thoughts off, and spotted Jake. "Fine." Suuichi finally said and hung up. Cassie got up to go meet Jake.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Jake was late he couldn't believe his mother made him mow the law at the last minute! He searched the food court for any sign of the other Animorphs. But he didn't see any. He ran into another person. "Gomen." The person said quietly then left. Jake sighed, then headed towards Cassie where he could see Cassie sitting with a red head. The red head hung up the phone he was on - Jake couldn't help but notice it didn't exactly look like any phone he had ever seen. Cassie spotted him and headed towards him. "What is with the red head, you weren't suppose to bring anyone."
"I'm sorry Jake but my mom made me bring him. He is staying with us during the summer because his mom didn't want him to stay in Japan. She said he'd been getting into to many fights." Cassie looked into his eyes apologetically.
"It's okay, we will just have to figure out a way to get him away when the rest of the group comes."
Cassie nodded and they reached the table. "Suuichi, this is Jake." She turned to Jake. "Jake this is Suuichi."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Suuichi said with a smile.
"It's nice to meet you to." Jake retorted.
"So Suuichi who was that you were on the phone with?" It was a casual question but Cassie wanted to get some answer's to her question's.
Kurama almost said it was no one important, then he thought about the conversation. They didn't know about Boton or anything, so why not tell them? "Boton, a friend of mine from Japan." He said nonchalantly.
Cassie beat Jake to the next question. "How is it that she could call you from Japan? Wouldn't that be a long distance number." Unfortunately she also continued. "Wouldn't you not get reception anyway? I mean you aren't in Japan? What kind of phone is it Suuichi? And why did she call you Kurama" Cassie stopped she realized she was rambling. She also let it slip that she had heard some of the conversation.
Suuichi looked at her thoughtfully then smiled slowly. "So many questions. Which should I answer first?" He appeared to think. "Well my friends call me Kurama it is a nick name I acquired over time. And the -" He stopped suddenly and whipped his head around at the sound of someone yelling.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE ANYMORE CHOCOLATE SWEET SNOW?" Kurama searched the crowd frantically then saw who he wanted to see. Hiei was at an ice cream stand yelling. "WHAT KIND OF BAKA NINGEN STAND IS THIS? CHOCOLATE IS -" Hiei stopped in mid sentence as someone's arm latched onto his. He turned and leveled the person with a heated glare. Then froze. "Hello, Kurama." He said slowly. He couldn't believe he had been caught.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
"Excuse me." Suuichi said then was gone. Jake watched as the boy moved through the crowed with wonderful grace. He approached the one who was yelling from behind. When he grabbed the kids arm the boy whipped his head around with a glare, then he looked - shocked. Suuichi said something to the boy and received a scowl in return. Suuichi just turned and walked back towards them.
"Who's your friend Suuichi?" Cassie asked happily.
"She reminds me of Boton." The boy next to Suuichi. Suuichi only chuckled and said something in, what Jake was guessing was, Japanese. The boy frowned.
"Cassie, Jake this is my great friend Hiei. Hiei meet Cassie and Jake." Suuichi introduced pointing to Cassie then Jake. "Cassie is the one who I'm staying with this summer."
Hiei looked at Kurama holding his scowl. "Is there a forest or anything near her house?"
Kurama thought about it. "I don't know, she does live on a farm." He turned to Cassie. "Cassie is there a forest near your house at all?"
Cassie frowned. Why did Suuichi want to know that? That was were Ax always hung out. But then again Ax would be able to hide so . . . "Yea, there is why do you ask?"
Suuichi looked at Hiei and Hiei glared at him. Suuichi only grind. Cassie couldn't help but notice that he looked like at kid at Christmas time.
"Ah, Cassie I'm going to go get something, do you want anything?"
"No, I'll be fine."
"Okay." Jake stood up and went to go get something to eat, and look for the others.
"You might want this if you're going to by something." Hiei said pulling out his wallet.
"I don't need that," Jake reached into his packet, "I have my -" He stopped after feeling nothing. "Never mind I might need some money I'll pay you back." Jake took the wallet Hiei was holding and opened it, only to see his driver's license. It was his wallet! "Hey how did you get my wallet?"
Suuichi suddenly glared at Hiei, Cassie could tell he almost flinched. "Hiei how did you acquire his wallet. Better yet what were you thinking? You can't just still from people like that!"
"Shut up kitsune, you used to do it all the time in the mekai." Hiei snarled.
"Yes, but I'm not in the mekai, no am I? No, not to mention I don't do that kind of thing anymore. The Mirror of Utter Darkness was the last thing I stole." Suuichi looked at Hiei with a challenging glare.
"Yea, you've changed fox, but I don't know if it is for the better or worse." Hiei muttered. They spoke in Japanese so that Kurama only could understand. "Sometimes I wish you were the Great Thief Youko Kurama again."
"It is only you who feels that way, young Koorime." Kurama told him smiling at his young friend. "I like who I choose to be I always have been. Although I have morals and do not believe in killing for sport, and I don't feel that steeling is a shameful act. When I am in my true form such morals and values are not forgotten they are just not so compelling."
Hiei cheered up a bite but didn't release his oh-so-famous-glare.
