An: Ok I lied. I said my favorite chapter was chapter 6. It's not. My new favorite chapter is 14. I personally think it is good. Unfortunately I have been super lazy and I haven't even typed up the next chapter. I guess i should get on that. i am still sick, and I have to go to the doctors. I hate doctors.
Anyways I thought it was such a good idea to have Suki really working for Tanaka, but she isn't. If I did that I would have to change everything around. I guess in a way what she does do is worse. Man, I love totally leaving people hanging. It should be a job.

Yukina, Kohana and Hiei walked towards the house. Ever step they got closer to the house, the more excited Yukina became. Kohana sighed and looked at Yukina.
"Could you stop skipping?You're making me nervous." Yukina nodded her head and stopped skipping. Kohana rolled her eyes again. 'I don't know why she is so excited to get home. That.. girl is there.' Kohana thought and started to slow down at the thought of Suki. Yukina grabbed Kohana's hand and started to drag her towards the house.
"What's the big hurry? And where did Hiei go?" Kohana asked and looked around for Hiei.
"I don't know." Yukina said, still dragging her friend behind her. When they reached the house, Yukina could barely contain her excitement.
"We are home!" Yukina called out as she opened the front door. They were greeted by silence.
"Maybe they were killed by that murderer from the movie we just saw." Kohana said and took her shoes off.
"It wasn't real!" Yukina said and Kohana rolled her eyes.
"I told you, it has to be real. 'The producers' are lying to everyone." Yukina laughed and grabbed Kohana's hand/
"Lets go to the living room." Yukina said and Kohana looked at her strangely.
"Sure.. Ok, Lets go to the living room." Yukina smiled widely and led her the living room.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOHANA!" Everyone screamed and Kohana jumped a foot in the air causing everyone to laugh. Kohana looked at Yukina, who was smiling happily.
"Happy Birthday Kohana." She said and Kohana hugged her.
"Did you plan this?" Yukina nodded her head and Kohana looked at everyone.
"Why would you throw me a party when I was so mean to you?" She asked and Yusuke smirked.
"It's ok, we all know that you love me." Keiko smacked him on the head.
"Yusuke, she is just a child." She whispered angrily at him and Kohana rolled her eyes.
"I kind of wish that the murderer was real right now." Kohana said and smirked at Yusuke evilly.
"So! Kurama, Suki and I made some food! Lets eat!" Boton said and led everyone to the dining room. Kohana hanged behind and watched everyone walk into the dinning room. Kurama stood in the door way watching her.
"Why would they throw me a party? What do they get out of it?" Kohana thought to herself out loud. Kurama walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"We threw you a party because you are our little friend." Kohana looked up at him in confusion. He thought she was confused because she didn't understand how they were friends but really it was because she had no idea why he kept calling her little. He smiled at her politely and started to walk towards the dining room.
"I know that Yukina didn't make supper, but will you still eat it? We worked really hard on it." Kohana laughed and start walking into the dining room with him.
"If I have to." She said and sat down between Yukina and Hiei while grinning at Kurama.
"Hiei! Where did you run off to?" Kohana asked and Hiei ignored her.
"I am guessing that you knew about the party?" She whispered to him as Kurama, Boton and Suki brought in the food. Hiei looked right at Kurama and smirked when he saw that Kurama was watching them intently. Hiei leaned closer to Kohana.
"Of course I knew." He whispered and Kohana laughed lightly.
"Then why didn't you tell me? And why are we whispering?" She whispered back to him and he smirked evilly at Kurama, who was obviously jealous of the attention Kohana was giving Hiei.
"Well lets eat before it gets cold." Kurama said before Hiei could reply to Kohana. Kohana nodded and Boton put some food on her plate She was about to take a bite, when Yusuke ruined the moment.
"What aren't you going to make me try it first?" He said and Kohana smirked at him.
"Oh yeah I forgot! Open wide for the train Yusuke." She said and started to make train noises. Everyone looked at her oddly and she put her fork down on her plate.
"What? I saw it on T.V once." She said and Hiei rolled his eyes.
"I do not understand you fascination with that human device." He said and Kohana rolled her eyes.
"Hmm.. Lets see. It might have to do with a little something about me being human. I don't know. I could be crazy after all." She said sarcastically and elbowed him. He glared at her and she smiled.
"Whatever just eat." He said and Kohana nodded her head. Everyone stared at her, hoping that she would enjoy her food.
"It's good." She said and smiled at Kurama. He smiled back and everyone start to eat. Even though Suki was there, Kohana was having a good time. It would be kind of hard not to with Kuwabara and Yusuke fighting over the last piece of pizza.
"I remember on Kohana's 4th birthday we got her a clown and she bawled her eyes out she was so scared. Then she ran to her room and refused to talk to anyone." Suki said but no one her the bitterness in her tone. Kohana looked at her shocked.
'Did she just say that? How dare she talk about my birthday like that! How dare she just talk about me so casually' Kohana thought and was about to punch Suki in the face, when Yukina and Boton stood up.
"Ok is everyone done eating?" Yukina asked and everyone nodded their heads. Boton and Yukina smiled and started to gather everyone plates.
"So how is your birthday so far?" Keiko asked and Kohana shrugged her shoulders.
"Better then the ones I have had so far." Kohana said and laughed. Everyone looked around awkwardly.
"To soon to joke about it?" Everyone nodded their heads.
"So how does it feel to be one year older?" Yukina asked as she walked back into the room and sat down beside Kohana. Kohana shrugged her shoulders.
"Ok I guess." She said and Boton walked into the room and turned off the lights.
"Happy birth-" Boton started to sing but was cut off by Hiei.
"If you start to sing that stupid song I will be forced to cut you vocal cords out." He said apathetically. Boton sighed and nodded her head and put the cake in front of Kohana.
"Happy 9th birthday Kohana?" Kohana said out loud and looked at everyone oddly.
Hiei smirked. 'This will be entertaining.' He thought and Yukina looked at Kohana, and then down at the cake.
"You guys, Kohana isn't 9 years old." Yukina said and Kohana laughed.
"More like add 10 to that 9 and you have my real age. Although I am flattered I look younger. It will come in real handy when I am super old." Kohana said and everyone looked at her in shock.
"Your 19?" Yusuke said and Kohana gave Yukina a 'they-are-your-friends' look.
"Yes Yusuke. I am 19 years old." She said real slowly like he was mental incapable of understanding anything that was coming out of her mouth.
"So your tell me that this whole time I thought you were 9 to 12 years old, you were really 18?" Yusuke asked in total outrage.
"Well yeah." Kohana said, she didn't really understand why he was freaking out. So what, she is older then what they thought she was. Big deal.
"Then why didn't you say anything?" Kohana looked at him and sighed.
"I assumed you knew. Hiei and Yukina knew, so I thought you did also." Yusuke looked at her and then looked at everyone else. No one else was taking this news as badly as him.
"Didn't you find it weird that we were always calling you a child?" Kuwabara asked as he eyed the cake that was in front of Kohana.
"I thought it was slang or something." Kohana said with a shrug. Yusuke pointed at Suki.
"Why didn't you correct us?" He said and Suki rolled her eyes.
"I assumed you knew her real age as well." She said, totally lying through her teeth. Truthfully she had forgotten how old her younger sister was. Keiko patted Yusuke arm, trying to get him to calm down.
"Oh well, it doesn't really matter how old you are. Although we will probably have to return some of the gifts we got you." Kohana nodded and started to stare at the cake in front of her. The candles were hypnotizing her.
"Now blow out your candles and make a wish." Boton said and Kohana nodded. 'I wish that I will get to see Ryoichi again.' She wished and blew out all but one candle.
"Oh you have a boyfriend!" Boton said in a sing song voice and Kohana rolled her eyes.
"How about we eat the cake after Kohana opens presents?" Keiko said and everyone agreed. They all walked into the living room leaving Kurama and Hiei alone. Hiei smirked.
"So what are you going to do now that you know that Kohana isn't jail bait?" Kurama looked at him oddly.
"Why would I do anything?" Hiei laughed and walked closer to him.
"Because fox, you want her. It is obvious. Now you can have her." Hiei said and Kurama glared at him.
"What makes you think I want her?" Hiei laughed again.
"Tonight at dinner you got jealous that I was talking to her so closely. But if another male talks to Suki you don't care." Kurama looked at him in surprise. Did he really feel jealous when Kohana was talking to Hiei?
"I don't know-" He was cut off but Kohana walking back into the room.
"There you are Hiei. Seriously, if you think I am going to go through that and not make you suffer with me, you are really stupid." Kohana said and grinned at Hiei as she grabbed his hand.
"Are you coming as well Kurama?" She asked and he nodded his head. His eyes were transfixed on their interlaced fingers. Hiei smirked as he squeezed Kohana's hand. A shot of jealous went through Kurama's body.
'Do I really like her in that way? I mean, there isn't anything wrong with it. She is after all an adult.. So it wouldn't be against the law. Wait. I can't seriously be thinking this. She is Suki's sister. My girlfriend's sister. Of course it is it wrong.' He thought as he walking into the living room with a fake smile on his face.
