Mm, kay. My English teacher gave us these tombstone words, so I can't use them. If I do, they come out as 'tombstone'. The words are: really, not, bad, had, have, has, is, was, were, good, great, that, which, been, and… I think I named all of them. Yeah… pretty much. You'll only see them when I type dialogue… I hope… Anywho… you won't see them and I won't type them… and technically, contractions aren't exempted, but… screw her rules. Just letting you know. Tell me if I do use them. You'll know because it'll say tombstone and won't make sense.

Fallen Angel: Yeah... I did... it is quite important to the story so... just go with me here.

Shade Spirit: Is it odd that I updated that quickly? Maybe I'm just enthusiastic about my story... or maybe I had all these chapters already written and as soon as I got a review I updated. Or maybe not. The world may never know... Also, I've noticed that you read Class S and Class S Part 2. Class S Part 2 is in a ditch and it's very muddy. We're constantly having to change our pants. By the time u figure out that metaphor, maybe it will have updated. ;;

Also, I want... hmm... 5 review until the next chappie... I just figure I start demanding. I want real critique here please... comments... like, don't like... ANYTHING! cries in corner

Koji: She's PMSing, don't worry...

JERK!

Chapter 6:

Yusuke walked back to his apartment, avoiding a talk with Kayko.

"I can't help the way my cousin is…" Yusuke mumbled. He opened the door and went in, slamming it shut. He fell onto the couch when…

"Hey, Yusuke," Lotas said in the doorway. Yusuke looked up at her, partly surprised.

"You dye your hair?"

"Possibly," she said, running a finger through her silver locks. "You get that hussy pregnant yet?" Yusuke's eyes widened.

"You mean Kayko!" Lotas plopped down on the couch beside him.

"Duh, unless you've been running around with any other whores."

"KAYKO IS NOT A WHORE!" He sat up quickly, seemingly ready to punch her. "You should talk, SLUT!" Lotas grinned.

"I don't do any worse than the others." She leaned in closer to Yusuke so he could only see her brown eyes. "I'm just public about it." She stood up and walked over to the doorway leading to the bathroom. "Skirts do the worse. They seem like innocent little angels, but they're the ones you catch working at a strip bar."

"How would you know?"

"My sister was a skirt. Takin' a shower. No peeking." She disappeared through the door leading into the bathroom. Yusuke layed back down on the couch, refusing to take what she'd just said seriously.

At Dinner:

"Hey Yusuke, where's Lotas?" Atsuko asked, pacing take-out on the coffee table. Yusuke sat up, grabbing chopsticks and scarfing food into his big mouth.

"Buwamno. Shaid shumfin bout blaking uh showah," he said with lomein hanging out of his mouth. Translation: "I dunno. Said something about taking a shower." Atsuko walked over to the washroom door, rapping on the door a few times.

"Lotas, you in there?" she asked loudly. No answer. Atsuko opened the door to be greeted by a wall of steam. "AH! YOU DIDN'T EVEN TURN ON THE FAN!" Atsuko swatted her way through the wall to see that the shower was on, but Lotas wasn't in it. (Y'know what, I hate my English teacher. MS. BYERS CAN GO TO HELL WITH HER STUPID TOMBSTONE WORDS! Please continue...) "Damn..."

Wherever Lotas went:

Lotas walked down the street in what looked to be the worst side of town. She was gnawing on a toothpick and had a smug look on her face. No one dared to mess with her. Although, it seemed there was someone just ahead of her who didn't know how to handle her self.

"No, wait, let go!" she heard someone scream. She stopped, debating on whether to be a Good Samaritan or to just keep walking. Reaching into her pocket, Lotas pulled out a quarter and flipped it. It landed on heads. Shrugging, she sprinted up to where she heard the scream. Some guys had corned a small girl on a wall seemingly ready to do something illegal. The girl kicked one of them in the shin. Lotas let out a small giggle. Calming her self slightly, she stepped forward.

"HEY!" she yelled. "What the fuck do you think you're doing!" The guy who was kicked pulled out a knife and charged her. Lotas simply kneed him in the balls. He doubled over. She stole his knife and sliced the other two that were coming at her in the stomach. The last one received a knife in his calf. She walked over to the girl who was buckling up her pants again since the guys to the liberty of taking them off.

"You ok?" Lotas asked with very little emotion.

The frightened girl nodded. She grabbed her grocery bags and took off, turning to say "Thank you!" and wave. Lotas blinked a few times.

"Dude." They girl's eyes were a deep crimson... "Were those natural?" Lotas smacked herself in the head, then ran after the girl. She seemed defenseless. Surely those goons wouldn't be the only ones to try something. "Hey, WAIT!" she yelled after the girl. The girl stopped and turned around, flashing her ruby eyes. Lotas slowed to a stop infront of her. "You can't walk around this part of town unless you know how to take care of yourself. Let me walk you back to your house." The girl just stared at her for a moment, then wrapped her arms around her.

"THANK YOU!" the girl yelled.

"Yeah, well..."

They had been walking for a while. Somehow, they had entered a forest. Lotas was completely oblivious to it. She was preoccupied with the girl's eyes. Finally she decided to start up a conversation.

"So what's your name, huh?" Lotas asked.

"Jade."

"Lotas. So, your eyes, those contacts?"

"Contacts? No..."

"They're natural!" Lotas asked, finally facing Jade.

"Uh huh." Lotas didn't notice that they had come to a clearing. "We're here." Lotas spun around quickly, setting her eyes on the large temple in front of her.

"Wha- where are we!"

"A Dojo." Jade continued up the many stairs to the porch and entered.

"Wow." Jade placed the groceries on the island and leaned on it.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Sure..." Reaching into the refrigerator, Jade heard voices from outside, automatically recognizing them as her father's, Kurama's, and Yusuke's.

"SHE JUST DISAPPEARED!"

"Now, Yusuke, she's human... she's not Hiei."

"What do you mean by that, fox?" Lotas squinted slightly, then spun around to see her cousin's angered/worried face.

"Yusuke!" she yelled.

"Lotas!"

"Hm, I thought that name sounded familiar..." Jade thought to herself.
