Me: Now the villainy begins!

Suuichi: You know you scare some people when you act like that, right dear?

Me: nod But I can't help it. It's just the way I am. Besides Ashira is more scary than me and you know it.

Suuichi: Yes you are right about that. I'll do the disclainer before she forgets to and we have to do it before the fic begins. Ayare owns nothing from Yu Yu Hakusho or from Ashira Jaganshi...

Me: ...but I do own Ayare, Rei, Blade, Ruri, Kaminara, and Kojiro.

Suuichi: I suppose she hasn't forgotten.

Me: Of course I haven't... So anyway where is everyone else?

Suuichi: Blade is still training with Hiei and Ashira is, of course, with Hiei. Ruri went back to Ureshii palace and lastly, Rei and Kurounue went off somewhere else training also.

Me: Wow everyone doing something. How strange...

Suuichi: Yes it is quite strange but we get time alone.

Me: smiles and nods Your right but the fic is first okay?

Suuich: nods Of course.

Me: smiles Well as I said the fic will now begin.........

Chapter 8: The Plan Begins...

((Ok. It has been seven years now. Now their ages are 17 except Ayare and Ashira who are 15.))

They had just cam back from a theft. Blade had just came from a meeting with Ruri. Their plan would start today. He couldn't wait until he had Ayare instead of Yoko and the stupid fox was dead. Along with his friend and that fire demon. He walked in the back of the group, as he always did, and he watched Ayare and her friends.

"You can always try Kurounue but I will always beat you at anything." said Ayare. Kurounue had again tried to beat her with the most kills but of course she won.

"You know what. I hate you." said Kurounue with a sigh, "You are one of the few who can actually do almost anything." and it was true. She could use any weapon that she chooses to use and use it quite well. Her skills have grown within a short time. She is faster then she used to be though not as strong as most others but for a girl I suppose she is pretty strong.

"Aww now that's not very nice. I like you very much." she said with one of those smiles that you give after you say something like that.

Everyone seem to miss the very slight jealousy in Yoko's eyes. The two had grown to be closer but still haven't admitted that they like eachother.

Hiei and Ashira were walking silently on the side of them. The two acted so much alike. ((Me: Wonder if they like each other... Hiei: Duh! You know that! Me: So? Everyone else doesn't or didn't until now.))

Ayare glanced at the silent 'couple' as she had always called them now. Eversince Yoko called them that...

Flashback

It had been right after the theft that they had went on when Blade first talked to Ruri. They were walking back to their villages. Ayare was walking with Yoko, Kurounue and Rei infront of them, talking about the theft, while Hiei and Ashira beside them, silently, and Blade walking in the back of the group, thinking of his plans that he made with Ruri.

Ayare was talking to Yoko about the theft when she glanced at Hiei and Ashira. The two were walking besides each other silently. Yoko turned his gaze to where she was looking and saw that she was looking at Ashira and Hiei.

"I always call them the silent couple. They hardly talk but it is obvious that they like each other." said Yoko

A giggle came from Ayare and as it did the two looked her way. She quickly looked away as did Yoko who chuckled after her. Hiei and Ashira looked at the quizzically then at each other. They then looked ahead.

Flash back over

Another giggle escaped her lips lips at recalling the memory. Everyone stopped and looked at her. She just looked up at all of them.

"It's nothing. Just recalling a memory." she said as if it didn't really matter.

The group then started walking again. They soon came to Hiei's village and Hiei and Ashira said their goodbyes as well as Ayare and the other. Yoko watched Ayare as she talked with Kuronue and Rei. She seemed so happy though he never could understand why. She and Rei were both like that as were there there parents though they had the weight of the world on their shoulders. Literately. If anyone with wrong intention got their necklaces it could be the end of the world. Yet here they are with smiles on their faces and even laughing. He didn't understand and to stop from confusing himself he pushed that thought to the back of his mind.

Ayare smiled to Rei and Kuronue and left them to their own talk as she fell back into place with Yoko.

"Your unusually quiet. Any reason why?" she asked him playfully. She enjoyed seeing him when he wasn't so serious which was not too much as before. Eversince the little 'incident' with Blade he has been more serious and she always tried to loosen him up.

Yoko turned to her. He heard her playful tone and gave her a smile. She seemed to be extra happy now and he knew why. He had gotten a bit more serious and even around Ayare now. He would try to cheer up for Ayare so she wouldn't have to try tire herself over him.

"No not really. Just thinking." he said still with a smile.

Ayare smiled at this then giggled, "Has anyone ever told you that you think an awful lot? You shouldn't think about it. You'll only end up making yourself confuzed. Just leave it alone. Besides if you think to much I might get in danger or i'll worry about you too much. You wouldn't want that would you." she said giving him a cute smile

Yoko had to smile more at this, "Yes of course. You always seem to be right. I shall try to be less contemplative. I really wouldn't want you harmed in any way. Physically or emotionally."

Then the two stopped and looked around. They looked to the back of them and Blade was gone. They then looked back aty each other.

"Something doesn't seem right." said the two and they nodded to each other.

Kuronue and Rei stopped and looked back at the two. They felt the tension around them and wondered why.

Rei spoke, "What's the matter..." his sentence drifted off as he suddenly disappeared.

Ayare looked to the spot he was then she looked around, "Rei!" she kept shouting until she sighed at not having any luck. The others did the same. They then searched the forest but again no luck.

"He's gone and I bet Blade has something to do with this. I swear that dragon is dead meat when I find him." said a very pissed off female kitsune walking back to the village with two scared youkai following her carefully.

Me: Well it has started. Rei has been taken...

Rei: Yeah that sucks.

Me: Hi Rei, hi Kuronue.

Rei and Kuronue: Hi.

Shuichi: We shall be going now. Please Review.

Me: Yes please do as this gentleman has asked. I also review others stories if asked.

Shuichi: Come on Ayare. starts to walk off

Me: Coming! walks after him

Hiei: Hey where did Ayare go?

Rei: Shuichi is gone too. Can't you guess?

Hiei: Oh they went to have time alone huh?

Rei and Kuronue: nods

Rei: Well please review.

Hiei: Yes my sister would appreciate it.

Ashira: Even though she hadn't updated in a while.

Hiei: Yes. You nearly threatened her to finish it.

Ashira: hehe

Hiei: I don't think you two will be on good terms for a while.

Ashira: Like you and Yoko?

Hiei: Yeah. Anyway please review i'll ask once more.

Ashira: Yeah. Maybe she'll update faster.

Kuronue: What to do now...

Everyone: shruggs
