An: Well, its good ol' Halloween. Actually I am not that big of a fan, but my friend and I are taking my brother out tricker treating. So thats cool. Here's the next chapter, and I am glad people liked the last one.

P.s: One thing I find funny is that my friend reads everything before I post it and pretty much knows everything that is going to happen. I just find it humorous. I guess that is good for people who really like this story, because I tend to get bored easily so she will force me to continue writing if i decide to 'put it on hold'. Update: My friend is laughing at what I am writing because I am 'hinting' about what is going to happen and no one but her knows. She is really bizarre like that.

Also just to make it clearer, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei all saw what happened in the last chapter.

Oh, and I forgot to add in the updated version of chapter 6, You will understand Suki's and Kohana's relationship way better inthe up coming chapters.

I want to know if you can sit with pain
Mine or your own
Without moving to hide it
Or fade it
Or fix it.

- the Invitation By Oriah Mountain Dreamer.

All 4 boys stared at the blank T.V screen that just moments ago was playing that touching scene between Yukina and Kohana. They all looked at each other and silently agreed that they would never again speak about what they just saw. They all felt, wrong and guilty after watching what just happened. Yusuke cleared his throat.

"So we have to protect Kohana against this Tanaka guy?" Koenma nodded his head.

"Yes, and he is willing to pay quite a lot of money for her to be captured alive. Even I am tempted to give her to him." All the guys glared at him, but Kurama to his and Hiei's surprise, growled silently.

"Bad joke? Sorry I was just trying to lighten the mood." Koenma said nervously as Yusuke rolled his eyes.

"Next time, make sure the joke is funny." Koenma nodded.

"Well, that's all I wanted to say. Also I am following a lead to find out why Kohana can cry tear gems." Everyone nodded and got ready to leave.

-With Yukina and Kohana-

Yukina looked down at he peacefully sleeping Kohana. She smiled softly at her and started to wonder what she should do for her birthday that was only a week away.

'Perhaps I should throw her a birthday party. That was she could get to know everyone and then they in turn can see the real Kohana! I hope everyone is home, so they could help me!' Yukina thought as she silently got up and left the room, She ran down the stairs and rammed into Kuwabara just as the rest of them entered the house.

"Yukina my love, are you alright?" She smiled brightly at him as he helped her up. She was completely oblivious to how they were acting awkward and guilty.

"I am so glad that all of you are home! I was wondering if you could help me plan a surprise birthday party for Kohana next Saturday." Kurama chuckled and patted her on the back.

"Of course we will help, but perhaps we should wait until the morning to start planning." Yukina's smile brightened -if that is possible- and she hugged all of them.

"Thank you all so much!" She exclaimed.

"I should go to bed now though, I don't want Kohana to wake up and me not be there. Goodnight!" She waved and ran up the stairs into her bedroom.

"Do you think she know-" Poor Kuwabara never got to finish his question because Hiei interrupted him.

"No, she doesn't know or suspect anything. And she never will know." Hiei said and went up stairs to his bedroom. Yusuke nodded and also started to climb the stairs.

"Well, I am going to bed. Goodnight." He said with a wave. Kuwabara and Kurama also climbed the stairs to go to their rooms.

-The next morning-

Kurama woke up with a start, but for the life of him, he could not remember what woke him up. In fact it took him a minute to remember where he was. He rolled over onto his side and expected Suki's warm body next to him, but strangely she wasn't there.

'…that I was a freak.'

Kurama shook his head. 'Does she really think that she is a freak? If so, does she think that we think she's a freak? Is that why she ignores us? To protect herself?' Kurama thought. "Well if I am right then throwing her a birthday party is just the thing to do. I wonder how old she is turning. Maybe 12 or 13.' He thought as he got dressed. ' I wonder what kind of emergency had Suki out all night long. I hope she is ok." Kurama pulled his pants on and walked downstairs to the kitchen.

-With Yukina-

Yukina opened her eyes and the first thing she was her best friend sleeping peacefully. 'I am glad she is sleeping well, I better not wake her. She hasn't slept this long since.. Well.. I have never seen her sleep this long.' Yukina thought as she slowly got up, making sure that she didn't wake her sleeping friend. She slowly crept out of the room and down to the kitchen.

"Good your all up!" She exclaimed and sat down at the kitchen table. Yusuke grinned and pulled a piece of paper out.

"Lets go, we have a party to plan" Kuwabara said as he watched Kurama take the paper out of Yusuke hands.

"Maybe we should split it up. One person deals with Guest. One person is in charge of decorations, another person could be in charge of food, and another will take Kohana out so everyone else can get the party set up." Kurama said and divided the paper into 4 squares.

"I could be in charge of decorations, and Yukina should defiantly be in charge of getting Kohana out of the house." Yusuke said as Kurama nodded and wrote that in 2 squares.

"Kuwabara, why don't you be in charge of guests, and I can handle the food."

"Sure Kurama, who would you like to invite Yukina?" Kuwabara asked Yukina.

"Well all 4 of you, Shizuru, Boton, Keiko.. Umm am I forgetting anyone?" Kurama nodded his head.

"Well Suki will obviously be coming. The I think that will be enough people. In fact they could probably help. Boton and Shizuru could help you with decorations Yusuke. And Boton and Suki can help me cook. Hiei would you go with Yukina and Kohana?" Hiei nodded his head and Yukina clapped her hands together in delight.

"Thank you so much! Kohana will be thrilled!" Just then Kohana walked into the room, with her hair all over the place, and still clearly half asleep.

"I'll be thrilled about what?" Yukina turned around and looked at her friend.

"Umm.. Kurama.. Is making pancakes.. Yeah Pancakes!" Kohana raised her eyebrow at her friend's obvious lie.

"I don't like pancakes." She said plainly and sat down between Yukina and Kurama.

"Yes you do, you don't like pan fries."

"Oh yeah, sorry, I am still half asleep." Yukina smiled and patted her hands.

"It's ok. Did you have a good sleep?" Kohana nodded her head.

"Yeah it was really peaceful. I didn't have one dream.. Well actually I did." Yukina looked at her with concerned eyes and the guys started to lean closer to hear her dream. She turned and grinned evilly at Hiei.

"I had a dream that Hiei was really a girl. It was really disturbing.. Because he kept hitting on Kurama." Everyone but Hiei laughed. Kohana turned to Kurama.

"I don't know why you are laughing. You weren't exactly beating her.. I mean him off with a stick." Kohana laughed at the disgusted look on his face and looked at the murderous one of Hiei's face.

"Right, well I have to go though. I have some stuff to take care of. I shouldn't be more the a few hours. So don't worry or anything ok?" Yukina nodded her head as Kohana ran upstairs to get changed.

'I wonder where she is going and what kind of stuff she has to take care of.' Yukina asked herself as she started to make breakfast. Kurama looked at Hiei, obviously worried about Kohana going outside alone.

'Don't worry fox, I will make sure she will be ok.' Hiei told him mentally as he disappeared out the window.
