BACK WHEN WE FIRST MET

CHAPTER THREE: An Interesting Call

Kari, Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara sat in the kitchen drinking pop. No one had said a word since Reina and Kari had their little argument. Kurama cleared his throat and everyone looked at him. "So, Kari, how long have you and your sister been in the human world?"

Kari raised a brow and gave him a spectacle look. "What are you talking about? Oh, you still think that me and Rei are youkai, don't ya? I'm telling ya, there's no such thing as youkai. I mean, if there was you would see them all the time and everyone would be aware of them but I don't see any around here."

"Hey, you see them all the time, you just don't know it. In fact, Suichi here is a youkai, a kitsune in fact. Well, not really, it's kinda hard to explain. He has the spirit of a kitsune in him and he can transform into him at any time." Yusuke tried to explain to her but ended up confusing himself and even more so Kuwabara. Kari kept her brow raised and gave him a confused look. "Uh, well, Suichi's real name is Kurama."

"Yusuke, I don't think we should be discussing this without talking to Koenma first." Kurama said nervously getting the attention drawn to himself. Kari gave him a cold look.

"What you don't trust me or something? What exactly are you insinuating, Suichi?!?!" Kari yelled at him while glaring at him. Kurama almost fell out of his chair from the surprise. Before she could yell at him some more, they heard the front door opened. Kari fell silent and stood up then looked out into the hallway. An elementary boy with midnight blue hair and crimson red eyes sat in front of the door, taking his time in removing his shoes. Kari's expression lighten up and she walked into the hallway with the other three following. "Kai, where were you? Didn't I tell you to always come directly home after school?"

Kaito gasped and looked up at Kari with a shocked expression. When he saw it was her, he smiled. "Oh, Hey, Kari, I didn't know that you were home." Kaito told her then laughed nervously. He stood up and walked up to her and looked at Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara. His eyes narrowed as he glared at them. "What are they doing here?"

"Kai, don't be so rude. These are some friends from school. This is Yusuke Urameshi, Suichi Minamono, and Kazuma Kuwabara. Now, answer my question. Where were you?" Kari asked him once more with a dominant look upon her face. Kaito took a step back from her.

"I, uh, walked home instead of riding the bus." Kaito told her, trying to conceal his nervousness. Kari hit him the head and he grabbed the top of his head. "Ow, that hurt!"

"Kai, you're such a bad liar. You should know that I can tell when people are lying to me. Anyways, Reina and I walked home from school and it didn't take us that long and yet you supposedly walked home and it took longer. And the interesting thing is that the high school gets out later and it's farther away from here. Now, tell me the truth. Where were you?" Kari demanded from him as she put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it. The room was silent. That is until they heard another door open.

"Oh, the brat's back from his friend's house. Hey, I thought that you weren't going to be home till dinner, Kai." Reina said as she walked into the hallway. Everyone turned and looked at her. She raised a brow. "Uh, what exactly is going on here? Is there something I should know about?"

"YOU KNEW WHERE HE WAS THIS WHOLE TIME AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!?!"

"YEAH, I KNEW! I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU KNOW!!"

"YOU DO WHEN IT INVOLVES OUR LITTLE BROTHER!!"

The others watch in silence as the two twins began to fight between themselves once more. It appeared that the two were always fighting no matter who was in the room and watching. Suddenly, the phone rang and Reina went to the kitchen to answer it while Kari left the room going into her bedroom. Kai just shrugged his shoulders and left the room as well leaving the three spirit detectives stood in the hallway. "So, what do you guys think of them?"

"That young boy is not like his sisters. He seems to have much stronger youkai powers." Kurama told them. They heard a scoff from behind them and they turned around to see Hiei standing there sheathing his katana.

"That is because that boy was not their real brother."

"Takashi residence. Kari speaking."

"Hey, Kari. Could you come pick me up from my friend's house? I don't want to walk home alone. It's getting dark. Please, Kari?"

Kari looked out the window to see that is was getting dark pretty fast considering it was only about four o'clock.

"How the hell did it get so dark this fast?"

"I don't know but I feel like I'm being watch! Kari, please come get me! Or at least have Rei come get me!"

"You know that it's Rei's first day of work so she'll be heading to work soon."

"Then come pick me up."

"Fine, I'll be there in a second, just tell me where it is....Hey, wait a minute!! You're in the next room! Who the hell do you think I am?!"

"What are you talking about? I've been at my friend's house this whole time. I haven't came home yet."

Kari walked into the next room with the phone looking for her younger brother. Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei turned around and looked at her. When she saw Hiei, the two glared at each other. She covered the receiver of the phone and gave them a look. "Where'd Kai go and why is HE here?"

"Hiei wanted to apologize to Rei for earlier and I have no clue where Kai went to." Kurama told her. Kari rolled her eyes then walked into Kaito's bedroom. It was completely empty and had no sign that anyone had been there. Kari held the phone back to her ear. "Okay, Kai, fine. I'll play along but you're paying for this. Where does your friend live?"

"He lives across the street in the apartment building you can see out your window."

"Okay, I'm on my way. I can't believe you can't walk across the street by yourself." Kari told him before she hung up the phone. She walked into the hallway where the four spirit detectives were still standing talking amongst themselves. "Well, I'm going to go across the street and go get Kai. Rei's going to work soon, so you have two choices: get the hell out or you can come with me to get my little brother."
