Ohayo, minna! Your faithful authoress here, Sutaru, or Sue!

Hiei: No one's eager to have you back.

Hiei, shut up. Here, have sweet snow.

Okay, I'm gonna start replying to those who review, so, here are all of the seven people who have reviewed since chapter one:

Bluewater26: I now know someone has suffered through phone-less agony like me. But, good news, I might get one when school starts! Yay! Thanks for the revealing personalities, but, do you think I've created a MS in Ukime or Aijou, and/or, are any of the originals a little OOC? Please tell me!

BleedingAngels911: Thank you! You are kind! I will always update as soon as possible, just as long as I keep getting reviews! LOL I love your name btw!

TwilightSoulTaker: COOKIES! I love cookies. Kurama does too. ( Kurama: Nods vigorously) Usually, instead of well thought out, I'm not thinking at all! I WANT MORE COOKIE POINTS!

HisEmeraldEyes: I love your reviews most of all! You make me cry! That's a good thing, though. I'll try and keep the humor, but it gets a little…I don't wanna say…gruesome, but it gets a little more serious.

EyeoftheKissoftheDragon: Your very welcome for the index-translations! I try, ya know? Well, I've updated, you just gotta keep reading!

Here ya go! The next installment. Go Foo Fighters!

Kurama: Well, that was random. Check the first chapter for disclaimers, because Kaiba doesn't want to do them again.


The first thing that startled Uki out of her deep unconsciousness was the fact she was not in her own bed. The second, which only occurred when she decided to look around, was that a pair of crimson red eyes were staring at her. She shouted out in surprise, leaping back, and stopped as her mismatched eyes caught sight of her skin. Wasn't it supposed to be charred? Unless…the only way it could have healed was that she had been put into a coma.

" What month is it?" she asked, scandalized, to the only other person in the room. It just happened to be a timid looking girl, who looked alarmed at Uki's sudden out burst. Her thick mane of teal was held back in a ribbon that matched her red eyes, and she was small. She looked as if she spent most of her time weeping or in a deep pit of sorrow, and the sadness gave her an ethereal-fallen-angel air.

" Um….It's October…" the girl answered, still surprised.

" Shit, it's been one year!" Uki exclaimed, holding her head in her hands.

" No, Ukime-san, you were brought here by Hiei-kun and Kurama-kun only a day ago," the girl corrected her. " My name's Yukina," she said, bowing after Uki's silence.

" Konnichi'wa, Yukina-chan," the punk said, sounding distracted. " Um, are those Hiei and Kurama's here? Wherever here is."

" Yes, Ukime-san, would you like me to fetch them for you?" Uki nodded and took Yukina's absence as an opportunity to look over the room.

The vicinity was baron with the exception of bandages piled onto cloth in the corner and the low bed that Uki rested on. It reminded her much of the dance dojo she and Ai had learned graceful dances at. She crawled over to examine what the bandages laid on, and realized with horror as the door opened and two people---male people---entered, that those were her clothes.

" AHHHHHHHHH! GETOUTGETOUTGETOUT!" she screamed, and the two whipped around at lightning speed, faces quickly blushing a furious scarlet.

She hurriedly scrambled to put on her jeans and baggy tee shirt, eyes wide in terror.

" You saw every thing, didn't you?"

" Yes."

" At least say I have a nice body."

" We are not inclined, nor able to answer that."

"….I hate you…"


Uki, for the first time in her entire existence, was petrified. Of the phone, no less. Well, not exactly the phone, as the person on the other end.

" UKIME, HAVE YOU NO IDEA HOW SCARED I WAS! I CHECKED ALL THE HOSPITALS IN A 50 MILE RADIUS! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU! IF YOU'RE NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN I GET THERE, YOU WILL BE!" Ai screamed on the receiver which Uki held at arm's length away from her body.

" That's you twin?" Hiei, who sat in the window sill and could hear every syllable, asked, with a condescending smirk. Uki stuck her tongue out at him and proceeded to relay the address that she was at to her sister.

" GOOD, AND YOU HAD BETTER BE THERE, OR I WILL LEARN AN ADVANCED TYPE OF MAGIC AFTER I KILL YOU, JUST TO BRING YOU BACK AND KILL YOU AGAIN!"

" I can see how you're related," Suuichi (also known as Kurama, which Uki had found out), muttered, earning a glare from the teenager.

" She's gonna murder me," the girl moaned, collapsing back on the ground. " Oh, yeah…" she said suddenly with a look of realization on her face, and she sat up to stare at the duo.

" What, you remember where you left your sanity?" Hiei questioned, looking out the window.

" You never told me how I was healed. I've only been here 24 hours, and those burns should have taken weeks, maybe months to heal," Uki pointed out.

" Well assessed. You should major in the Medical field," Kurama said lazily, not looking up from his book, and not answering her question.

Even though she had been awake for only a few hours, she knew that this was all the answer she was going to get, for Kurama wouldn't answer more than he wanted to.

She, instead of pressing the matter, settled for crossing her legs, folding her arms and settling a pout on her lips.

" Aren't there any other people here besides you two and Yukina?" she burst out, eyes frantic for company.

" Three, but I doubt you would want to meet them," Hiei answered lethargically, and Uki bounced up, a weird happiness radiating from her that at other times she would have scorned upon.

She threw open the rice paper door and went dashing out into the court yard, peering around for signs of life. She caught sight of the back of a glossy black head, and with a smile, threw her arms out, embracing the person.

" LIFE!" she screamed, and the boy turned around.

" Uki?" he asked incrediously, holding her at arm's length.

" Yuusuke!"


HAHAHA! Cliffies rock. For authoresses', anyways. Remember, review, and flames will be used to roast marshmallows and anything else that goes on a roasting stick.

Kuwabaka: (rubbing ass) I tried telling her that I don't go on a roasting stick.

Hiei: Also, keep in mind that your evil flames will melt my sweet snow. ( eye twitches) SWEET SNOW…..
