Yay! New chapter! Ok…leaving now…YAY…ok. NOW I'm shutting up…It's going to be (or was) a LONG Spring Break…ok…enough of me talking, go ahead and read people. Oh, and the whole 'stolen things on a cruise' thing was an idea I got.

They got aboard the ship. Hiei was last to get on. He probably wouldn't have if Ume hadn't been there, dressed from head-to-toe in black, looking up at the ship, with her simple luggage, longing for a vacation and Hiei didn't mind going on a small break. The plan was to relax until they made sure they found the demon couple they were looking for, but until then, it was easy sailing.

Tsume turned her head and realized how huge the boat was. Right on the deck there was a huge pool with people sun-bathing all around it. Some were in it, escaping the heat.

"I can't wait to take a tip in there!" Tsume exclaimed.

"I just hope it's open late." Ume retorted.

"Why? No one is going to see your new bathing suit at night."

"That's the whole point."

"Well, I'm going to show off my bikini soon."

"Have fun with that…"

"What'd you buy anyways?"

"Two…piece…" she said, provoked...

Ume wasn't used to talk about much besides demons, fighting, techniques, and all that stuff. She hardly talked about girl things to…well…girls. She stayed to fighting and gangs and human disasters, not guys, shopping, and music. She wasn't planning on talking about that trash to anyone.

Hiei looked up at Kurama. "I envy you." (Heh, I just HAD to put that. I couldn't resist)
-
Ume grabbed a tiny card that was presented to her and her friend by a man. He also asked the two 'couples' questions about their rooms such as, "King sized bed or two separate ones?" and others. Eventually the questions were answered and each of the 'couples'' rooms were set up as if they were just friends on a cruise and were just forced to share rooms.

The group was shown to their rooms. The rooms were just across the hall from each other.

Tsume stretched out her arms and gave out a dramatic sigh. "I'm going to hit the pool."

"I hope you enjoy your visit. You will find that this cruise will be the ultimate in relaxation. You will be able to enjoy the pool, library, buffets and restaurants (Millie! –that's an inside joke-), shopping, and other things that you will surely enjoy. The boat will have everything you will need for your vacation." The man was standing at the hallway between the two rooms. He bowed and took his leave. Before he left he had one last thing to say. "In about one hour after departure, there will be a safety demonstration on the deck. You know, to show you where the life jackets are, and how to put them on and such. Please enjoy your stay."

"I'm going to unpack for a while." Ume said.

"I will too." Hiei said after.

"I shall head to the deck and see when we will be departing." Kurama affirmed.

"You are all so boring." Tsume complained. She went into the bathroom of hers and Kurama's room and began to change.

Hiei and Ume went into their room and Kurama left the hallway and headed to the top deck.

Ume took out the contents of her suitcase and all her clothes in a dresser. The dresser didn't even completely fill up. She then took out a small backpack she had on her back. She emptied its contents as well. Inside, there was nothing but toothbrushes and toothpaste and other simple items.

Hiei tucked away his clothes in a separate drawer next to his bed, separate from Ume's. He did the same as Ume, except he had no small backpack. All his things were in his single suitcase. He did have one long sports bag. Inside, he had his trusty katana (sword) and extra bandages just in case he had to cover his wound with new ones if his DOTDF (Dragon of the Darkness Flame) was used.

They soon stepped out of the room with 45 minutes left before the safety briefing. The two looked around the ship until they found the library. Ume looked inside. She saw four walls completely covered in books. Ume couldn't wait until she would be able to go through a few of them to see what she could find about wolf demons or her parents. She decided to wait until some other time.

The two then went to giant double doors down the hall. Hiei and Ume looked in and saw it was a dojo.

"Wow, that guy wasn't kidding when he said 'the boat will have everything' we need." Ume said, amazed. She grinned and pushed Hiei inside and then stepped inside too. She immediately grabbed a wooden sword on the wall and threw one to Hiei and challenged him to a 'friendly' match.

Kurama began to head for the deck but on the way, he spotted a group of girls. They started to point at Kurama and they approached him. The guys that were with the girls gave Kurama dirty looks. As the girls giggled their way to Kurama, Tsume came out of no where and grabbed his arm and led him the rest of the way to the pool but before the left, Tsume turned to the girls and started to scream.

"You bunch of worthless, lil, stupid bakas (idiots). Are you stupid? This is a lovers' cruise. It's common sense that this guy came with someone. Not to mention you pigs also came with people. You have no right no go off looking at other people!"

She continued to yell as Kurama pulled on Tsume's hair, dragging her to the deck. Kurama got her all the way to the edge of the now-empty pool. Everyone had left to look around the ship, unpack, and change into normal clothes for the safety presentation. Kurama bent down by the pool, got some water in his hands, and dumped in on top of Tsume's head. Smoke arose from her head and she began to calm down.

Tsume looked at Kurama. She began to grin. Tsume tackled Kurama into the pool and she started splashing and kicking water up at Kurama. Kurama dove under water to stop from getting splash. He got behind Tsume and splashed her back. Soon, there was an all-out war happening in the pool.

Some guy working for the cruise raised his hands in the air and let them down, shouting, "Begin!"

Ume swung her wooden sword down at Hiei but Hiei quickly got out of the way with his speed.

The guy just stood there, mouth open and his jaws were almost falling off. He couldn't believe how fast the two were.

Hiei swung his sword at Ume. She dodged and got behind him, ready to strike but he quickly turned around and 'cut' her in the stomach. The blow sent her flying across the room. Speakers that were set up around the whole boat began to boom loudly, "The safety demonstration will now begin. All guests please report to the deck within the next 10 minutes. Thank you for boarding Tendou Koukou."

Hiei stood above Ume and stuck out his hand. Ume grabbed it and was helped up. She looked down at the wooden sword Hiei was using previously. It had broken in half. She grabbed Hiei's and exchanged it with hers. Ume told the guy in the dojo that she would pay them back for the sword later and she dragged Hiei out of there before he could say anything.

They were halfway down the hall when Hiei stopped and the conversation began.

"You didn't have to stick up for me like that Ume."

"Like I was really going to let you kill the guy when he bills you for the sword."

Hiei didn't reply.

"Let's just go to the deck already."

Suddenly screams were heard coming from the deck and the two ran up as fast as they could.

Hooray for me. Another chapter!
