FW: See! SOMEONE cares about my summer camp! (thanks a mill DarknessesShadow-sama!)
Yusuke: If it'll make you shut up, just tell us about your stupid camp!
FW: They… put make-up on me….
Yu Yu Gang: (stare)
FW: And… they painted my nails! (holds up chipped, but blue, fingernails)
Yusuke: All that complaining, because they made you look like a girl?
FW: Yeah.
Hiei: Permission to kill?
Botan: Now Hiei, Koenma wouldn't approve-
Yusuke: Go ahead.
FW: Better make this quick then, AmnarJoey-sama, all I've got to say, is SILVER ROCKS!
Kurama: What?
FW: (ignores him) And Renard Roux-sama, well, no opinion is better than a bad one, right?
Kurama: Not always.
FW: Whatever. Time to write.
Kuronue: (runs by, with XforbiddenFoxX-san still chasing him)

START
Back at headquarters, aka, Kurama's kitchen table, they were again plotting their next move.
"Girlfriends," Kuronue spoke up.
"What?" The other three asked, perplexed.
"We need girlfriends," he elaborated. "You can't be gay if you have a girlfriend."
Kurama slowly nodded, understanding his logic.
Hiei even grudgingly agreed.
"It shouldn't be hard either," Kuronue continued, not yet noticing Karasu's horror stricken eyes. "We've all got hundreds of fangirls, even if most are…"
"Psychotic," Hiei finished.
"At this point, I'll try anything. Meeting adjourned until we all have girlfriends," Kurama ended the meeting. They all stood, and shook hands with everyone at the table, a political tradition. The crow had refused to let go of the redhead's hand, however, and now sported several bruises.
It was easy to find a decent looking, and very interested woman, Kurama soon found. He successfully had a girlfriend in 12 minutes since deciding to look for one.
Her name was Amber, she had long brown hair, and bright pink eyes, which reminded the fox of Botan. She was tall, unnaturally tall, but for some reason, Kurama didn't think anything of it. He was already under her spell.
As predetermined, they all met in the park in one hour. The other three members had failed miserably, and there were a lot of female human deaths unaccounted for, but Kurama didn't press it.
Kuronue looked her up and down. "Still in the game, I see," he said sneakily.
"Her name's Amber," he introduced, grinning slightly.
She flicked her hair arrogantly. "Of course, you can call me the Makai Princess," she added, with what she assumed was a "cool" tone.
Hiei raised an eyebrow. "You're not from Makai," he stated.
"Yes I am! You should know better than anyone, dear brother," she added.
"My only sister is Yukina," Hiei spat, to her surprise, unaffected by her spell.
She faltered, ruining her "cool" atmosphere. "Oh right, you… got amnesia. I forgot…" she said lamely. "Well, I don't blame you," she quickly regained her arrogance, "what with my being away, and saving Koenma's butt all the time."
Kuronue frowned. "You couldn't save anyone's butt. You don't have a drop of aura…."
"Yes well, I'm a master swordsman too."
Karasu, who had been glaring at "HIS" Kurama's new girlfriend in jealousy the whole time, now took the opportunity to send a tiny bomb at her… and kill her on the spot.
The spell was instantly broken.
"Karasu!" Kurama yelled, shocked.
"You can thank me later," he said simply.
"What?"
Hiei shook his head. "I expected you to be more careful. Can't you recognize a Mary-Sue?"
It finally started to click. "Wait, how come you all weren't affected?"
Hiei smirked. "She was pretending to be my sister." Kurama nodded, it would be pretty nasty for him to fall for relatives.
Kuronue shrugged. "Not my type."
Karasu had a more obvious reason. "There's only one I see in the field of love."
Nobody commented.
"Perhaps this is the wrong approach?" Kurama suggested. "Instead of dating women we don't know, who could be Mary-Sues, maybe we should try women we DO know."
"Yukina is off limits," Hiei instantly called. They nodded, two having no clue who this Yukina was in the first place.
They split up again, and Kuronue was unfortunate enough to stumble upon Keiko. Which in itself wasn't so bad, what was, Kuronue decided she was worthy of being his.
"Come on babe, we ain't nothing but mammals, so lets do like they do in the Makai!" Kuronue smiled, somewhat intimidating to the smaller girl.
"Uh… no thanks?" Keiko sputtered, backing into a wall.
Coming from seemingly nowhere, Yusuke was of course at her aid in seconds, mouth swearing and fists flying.
From somewhere in the back of his mind, the bat remembered this was a VERY close friend of Kurama's, and to kill him would be a serious friendship breaker. With that in mind, he made it a point to get away without murder, preferably with the girl.
Hiei stalked down the street, ticked. Like heck was he going to go out with ANYONE. The choices left weren't so great either.
Yukina: His sister.
Keiko: Yusuke's girl.
Botan: Overly happy, and just plain annoying.
Shizuru: Probably the best from the list, but still shared his enemy's blood.
Genkai: Old. What more could he say?
And that about covered it. Hiei gave up on the idea there and just headed back to headquarters.
Karasu wasn't too thrilled either. Not only did he not know anyone from the list of "available" girls, but he wasn't even into girls!
He also got the idea to head back for the Minamino house, if for no other reason than to just be creepy in Kurama's room. There, he found a woman. She was about middle aged, but not too bad looking. Her life force was familiar, though he knew he'd never met her before. Something about her… reminded him of Kurama.
He shrugged, deciding if he HAD to pick a female, this was the one.
Kurama, going back home with Botan beside him, was in for a shock. Hiei sat on his favorite tree outside his room window, giving a silent nod in acknowledgement. Kurama nodded back, and opened the door to find, or really, hear, Shiori screaming.
Leaving Botan behind, Kurama hurried toward the sound of the disturbance, "Mother!" he yelled, fearing the worst.
Whatever he imagined though, this was worse.
In his own room, Karasu with one hand wrapped firmly around his mom's wrist, while she was screaming bloody murder and trying to pull away.
Sensing his friend was upset, Hiei jumped in through the window, ready to assist in combat if necessary.
"Hello Kurama!" Karasu chirped.
"Let. Her. Go," the greeted one said with barely restrained fury.
"Why? She's to be my girlfriend, unless of course you'll take the position," Karasu asked.
"How can I be a GIRLfriend?"
"You know what I mean!" Karasu rolled his eyes. "But if you don't want to, that's fine. She's surprisingly familiar. Her energy's, much weaker, but I think she has a trace of you in her."
"She's my mother!" Kurama exploded.
"Oh…" the crow looked down at his capture. "That explains a lot… off limits then?"
"YES!"
Looking put out, he gently let her go. Kurama quickly modified her memory.
The both turned toward an explosion downstairs. "Kuronue," they all decided in union.
They hurried downstairs, and soon found themselves to be right.
Kuronue had managed to kidnap Keiko after all, but he hadn't lost Yusuke.
"GET BACK HERE FLY-BOY!" The detective roared, fingers in position to spirit gun Kurama's whole house.
"Yusuke, don't!" Kurama yelled, and he tackled his pointing friend just before the blast left his finger, reaiming it to the sky.
Kurama let of a sigh of relief as Yusuke roughly shoved him off. "What was that for? He's got Keiko!"
Kurama turned back to the house. "Kuronue, forgive me for forgetting to mention, but if you value your life, that human is also off limits."
Sadly, the bat released his prize, who ran crying into Yusuke's arms. "Who-"
"Kuronue. Former thief, friend of mine, not gay," the fox introduced quickly, not in the mood for long stories.
Botan, who hadn't been properly asked out, had no idea what she was doing there and gladly followed her two leaving friends.
"Failure?" Karasu asked of their unappinted leader, Kurama.
"I think that word fits this situation well," he said, watching his "girlfriend" go.
"Well, at least we're still single!" Karasu purred, getting closer to Kurama.
"That defeats the purpose," Kurama glared, knowing the cameramen would have a field day with their new footage.
END CHAPTER 3

Kuwabara: (shudders)
FW: Oh shut up!
Hiei: He never said anything.
FW: You too! Anyway, review if you feel like it, and if you flame, ok. I'LL TAKE IT IN STRIDE!
