Chapter 6 Spirit Detectives Shopping in America and Balls with Princes

Setting: A big house similar to Kira's house. The difference its Yuki's house.

Her house has a gigantic archway to the front door, which is a double door, maple doors with big brass handles. There where to big stone lions on either side of the doors. Once we had entered the doors everyone's jaws just dropped to the floor. In front were giant marble staircases that lead to left and the right with red carpeting on them. Well lets just call it a Palace.

Yusuke: Geez! This is huge!

Kira: To be honest I like it better than my house. There is better interior designing.

Keiko: Are you royal or something?

Yuki: Oh no! But I do have a lot of money.

Butler dude 1: Young miss you have returned to your home

Yuki: Jer, don't call me young miss call me Yuki

Jer: Yes Yuki

Yuki: so how has business been while I was gone Jer?

Jer: Not to good we only have two guest right now.

Yuki: Crap!

Jer: Yes

Yuki: Jer. Call the best advertising company you can get and tell them to come over tomorrow!

Jer: Right away

Kira: You usually make them come right now

Yuki: I need to shop first

So Yuki and Kira show the guest to their rooms and then head to the mall. The group set out to go to the mall, when this huge crowd came into Yuki's, house(incase you haven't figured out you own a hotel).

Yuki: now I get costumers!

Yuki: Deal with them will you I need to shop right now

Jer: Yes

So the group heads out, with out stopping for anything, to the mall, there all the girls get attended to first buying all necessary items and a few ball gowns. Next came the guys well you and I just let them loose in a store guarded the entrance and forced them to buy some clothing. Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwahara, and Hiei came out with quit a bit of stuff. And of course we made them get tuxes for ball too. (they never go out of fashion ya know!)

Keiko: Why did we buy the fancy dresses?

Kira: Yuki mind telling them the reason 'cuz I don't want to.

Yuki: Well Kira has this friend who knows the Prince of England and we where invited to the ball that he was having, and it says bring friends. And well you guys are like friends to us so where going to bring you to the ball.

Kurama: Who is this friend?

Kira: His name is Will. And he grew up in England and is best friends with the Prince.

Yusuke: What's the Prince's name

Kira: Prince Williams the 2nd

Yuki: he is really cute and still single at the age of 24 I think that is how old he is any way.

Botan: So we're going to England to this Prince Williams' Ball?

Kira: Well actually it is going to be here in Yuki's House. Also know as the Royal Diamond Hotel, well no I take that back its not at her house it is at the Grand Hall its about half an hour away

Yukina: Wow! This is going to be so much fun!

Kuwahara: I can't dance!

Everyone: Hahahahahahaha!

Kuwahara: Its not funny guys!

Kira: Don't they teach you that in school?

Keiko: Yea

Kuwahara: I must have been on a mission

Kira: Yuki and I will help you. The last thing I want is to be seen with a jr. high kid who doesn't know how to ballroom dance. Hiei and Yukina you two may want to come to learn too. I'm sure nether of you know either.

Yukina: It sounds like fun!

Kira: Well sense we have all the stuff we need want to go back now?

Yuki: Ok

Kira: I want to call a few friends

Yuki: Can't tell them about SD though (SD Spirit Detective)

Kira: Damn!

Yuki: Don't look now but Will, Tom, Kikia, and Rina are over there at that table

Kira: Where? Kikia! Rina! Will! Tom!

Kikia: Huh?

Kira: Hey sis!

Rina: Hey where you been?

Kira: places

Will: Can you go?

Kira: Oh yea!

Yusuke: Ok ya lost me there are some of you related?

Kira: Kikia and Rina are my sisters Tom and Will are some good friends

Kurama: Nice to meet you.

Kikia: Yuyu Hakusho is real told you Rina!

Rina: So

Kikia: You owe me big time

Rina: If I had money that is

Kikia: What are you talking about its only a 150$!

Rina: Fine

Kira: O.o

Kikia: Long story

Rina: Come on over and chat a while with us we have 4-5 years to catch up on!

Kira: You guys wanna come, Ya can also meet mamma pops.

Yuki: Sure!

So the whole group goes into the demon world and right in Kikia and Rina's house, which is like Kira's house and Yuki's house in one!

Pops: Welcome home Kira! My how you have changed! Mamma come look at our little princesses!

Mamma: Oh my they're all so grown up!

Kira: Mamma! Pops! It so good to see you again!

Yuki: Hey there!

Mamma: is that Yuki?

Pops: My, my you turned into a fine young neko demon!

Yuki: Thanks. Not half bad yourself.

Yusuke: uhh

Kikia: These are our parents well Kira, Rina, and my self any way

Will: hey Mamma and Pops!

Mamma: Well this is certainly a reunion! How are you two?

Tom: Just fine

Will: your self?

Momma: Just fine thank you.

Kira: Sorry I can't stay long but we have guest that would I'm sure much rather see the sights in America.

Pops: Stop by any time Kira!

Yuki opens a portal wave good bye and they all step into it and appear at the hotel. Night has fallen so we all head to bed and go into a restless sleep, waiting for the next day to come to them. When they awoke the next day , by Jer, they were served breakfast in bed, which none of them had experienced in their whole lives. After that they changed into some of their new clothing that they got and went out to see the sights of California, USA. First they started out in Sacramento the capital of California.

Kira: This is down town sac. Not one of the best places to be at night alone only come in groups and check on one another ever so often.

Yuki: And here is the capitol, much like the country's capitol its looks and ways it works are the same.

Kurama: it not the normal capitol is it?

Yuki: No its not

Yusuke: What was the point of saying that?

Yuki: To let him know he was right. Duh

Kira: Ok so this is down, down town sac. The jazz festival is held down here and that is fun to go to brings good memories of fifth and 6th grade band trips.

So, you and I show them other parts of Sacramento then we head to Napa, in a car of course, and we do a bit of winery looking due to the fact that they were all under the age of drinking, and Yusuke was really wanting a drink of some chardonnay from Cheaut St. Jeans. We ate lunch at V.Sattui; their artichoke cheese is excellent, got some deli foods and ate in the grass around the winery. Of course, every one was surprised when the train went by the winery and threw candy for all the children (good childhood memories, and the wineries I list are real and the train thing is real too but they don't throw candy any more). Then we came home so as not to show them all of California in one day plus going to Napa is tiring for ya. When we get there Jer has told us that Prince Williams has come from England and wishes to speak to the owner in the library. So naturally you ask me to act like to co. owner and go in there with you and I of course accept the role (its only like to 20 millionth time nn). We walk into the library that you have, go, and sit by the fireplace (if you have seen Disney's Haunted Mansion, and Disney's Beauty and the Beast put their libraries in the area) in big comfortable chairs that go way above your head. There is also some old English music playing in the background. Then Prince Williams enters the library.

Kira: Good afternoon Prince Williams. We hope your stay is wonderful and the Royal Diamond Hotel. I am Kira co. owner of the business and this is Yuki owner of the business.

Yuki: It's a pleasure to be in such high company.

Prince Williams: Please just call me William. In addition, thank you for that welcome. May I add your hotel is like many castles in England. I was informed that this is where my good friend Will's friends lived?

Yuki: Oh yes this is my home as well as a hotel and a public library.

William: Impressive. How do you manage that?

Kira: Jer, a good family friend of Yuki's

William: And what does he tend to?

Yuki: Mostly the library but he also does some of the bell boy jobs.

William: Do you have maids that do the sheet changing?

Yuki: Oh yes, there are about 8-9 of them

William: So few…

Kira: Not a whole lot of people stay here

William: why is that?

Yuki: it looks like a normal house on the out side.

William: oh, well its getting late I must be off to bed. Good night ladies.

You and Kira: Good night

You and I walk back to our rooms only to be called to the parlor by the gang. No one can sleep, its about 9:30 pm, so we talk into the morning of what we where going to do that day, but decide to sleep and go at night. It is Tuesday, three days 'till the dance/ball thing.

Keiko: Did you say when that ball was going to be?

Kira: Uh well is uhh….

Yuki: Friday

Yukina: oh! We should stay home tomorrow and learn how to dance!

Kira: You are so enthused about that ball aren't you Yukina?

Yukina: Well is only ever so often I can leave koorime.

Yuki: Oh, well I guess it true you do learn some thing every day

Keiko: Where is koorime?

Kira: It's a place in the demon world that doesn't allow men on it at and if man is born on it they throw it over board. Well Koorime is a giant floating island in the middle of the sky but its hidden by a spell.

Yukina: You know a lot about it Kira. Have you been there?

Kira: no its just what I've heard hear and there. Ya know?

Yukina: Yes kinda.

Yuki: Well we better go and wake the others so we can head down to the L.A. area.

Yukina: I shall wake Kazuma and hiei

Keiko: I'll wake Yusuke and Botan

Kira: I'll go get Jer to get the plane ready tell every one to pack at least a couple of days worth of clothing.

Yuki: Gotcha

So Kira got Jer to get the plane ready and you go around as soon as you think it is safe to do so, they pack some of the best clothes they have and you pack for both me and you, while I go and get some food to stuff into the plane's little kitchen area. Every one finally gets on the plane and you and I are so tired we fall asleep on the couches that are on the plane. (ok real quick description of the plane. One it purple. Two on the inside there are couches, a TV, a mini kitchen and (plasma screen) a PS2, with kingdom hearts one &2 and any other game you can want. It was about a 2-hour flight, and you and I had to be dragged off the plane still asleep. Kurama wakes me and Hiei wakes you and we take the to group to Disney land and California adventure. There was the light show going on so nobody was on a ride and every thing was empty so we rode a good amount of the rides before the park closed. Then we headed to a hotel and spent the night guys got there own room, and the girls got two rooms (more of us). We wake up around 8 the nest morning and head down to Disney land and ride all the ones we missed last night. After being at Disney land and California Adventure we head to a concert and then head to the super cool plane. WE all go to sleep at the Royal Diamond Hotel. It is now Friday, day of the ball, and it is about 12 in the after noon.

Yukina: thank your for teaching us how to ball room dance Kira!

Kira: chill kid, it wasn't that bad well….all except Mr. Anti-Social over there.

Hiei: Hn. Why should I have to worrie about such a stupid thing

Yuki: because it isn't often that you would be asked into the company of a royal from a different country!

Hiei: Koenma

Kira: That's different

Hiei: How?

Yuki: Its work, plus you came from demon world/ spirit world.

Hiei: Hn.

Kuwahara: It was pretty fun dancing with Yukina

Yukina: blush

Hiei: Hn.

Kira: Any way, didja see where the others have gone of to?

Yuki: no

Kira: on an expedition we go!

Hiei: There in he parlor

Kira: Ah! Phoowee

Hiei: sticks tongue out

Kira: Party Pooper!

Yuki: Lets just go get the others.

When they walked in Yusuke was chasing Kurama with a pair of scissors while every one else was under the table with worried looks on their faces.

Yusuke: Come on Kurama you look like a girl like that let me cut your hair.

Kurama: Never!

Yusuke: Guys are going to hit on you!

Kurama: No!

Yusuke: come on then Kurama! Let me cut it!

Kurama: Never!

Kira: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!

Yusuke: stops running I'm trying to cut Kurama's hair so he doesn't look like a girl.

Kurama: hides behind Kira and I am not letting you touch it.

Yusuke: It will be real fast ya won't even notice that its gone!

Kira: Just plaster it to your head that way ya look like a guy and you don't have to cut it.

Kurama: I could do that.

Yusuke: CUT IT!

Kurama: Never in a million years!

Kira: You could just plaster it to your head, not go, or dress like a girl and let me fix your hair and makeup and what not.

Kurama: I plaster it, give me the gel.

Kira: It really doesn't matter your going to be wearing a tuxedo any way.

Yuki: I think we all forgot that.

Botan: Shouldn't we get ready?

So the girls get ready and of course it takes like what all of two minutes to get ready for the guys? Duh. Well any way Botan thought "Oh wouldn't it be fun if we went out one at a time?" and Yukina and Keiko wanted to Kira and Yuki didn't care so they all went out one after the other, and Botan got to go first since it was her idea. Botan had a pink dress that was twirly and sparkly and make Kira and Yuki twitch. She walked down and was greeted by Koemna who came from who knows where.

Keiko then came down and was wearing a light blue dress that had no straps on it, it was also made up of several different layers so it looked elegant. Yukina walked down the stairs in her mint green dress. It hugged her curves wonderfully it had a train in the back too, Kira had made her hair slightly curly and had placed it on her head in a most elegant way. Kuwahara nearly killed anyone in his way so that he could get to Yukina and give her a flower. Kira and Yuki did rock paper scissors at the top of the stairs to see who would go next and Kira lost. She had a deep royal purple dress it was sort of like her demon outfit only instead of a skirt it was full length dress and it didn't poof out that much at all it gave her a very slender figure. Kurama gave her a equally purple rose that she placed in her hair that was placed in two buns on either side some hair on either side of the face and curled and a little crown with a heart in the middle of it. Yuki then came into view, Hiei looked up from where he was as was amazed. Yuki's dress was maroon or blood red it had a black ribbon that rapped around the dress and tied in the back she had made her hair wavy and into a bun on the back of her head with a few strand in her face she also had a black ribbon on her neck. She blushed when she saw Hiei looking at her.

Koemna: Ok if we are ready lets go, carriages have been arranged for us out side.

Botan: Oh my!

Yuki: Two people to a buggy, thats all they can hold at one time really.

With that they all go in with their various partners and head off to the ball. It was held at the Grand Hall, it is a giant ball room and some times a whore house when its not used for balls there are plenty of rooms, so I guess you could call it a funky club house. They where all noticed as they came in not dude to the fact that they where late but because they where so beautiful. Many men ask the girls to dance as so as they go away from the entrance hall. Yukina being the nice girl that she was accepted a few offers while Kuwahara was about to chop of the dude's head. Keiko denied them all, sweetly while she and Yusuke made their way to the dance floor. Yuki would go and hide behind Hiei who seemed to have grown during this time to about 5 ft. Kira just looked at them like they were crazy, she then dragged Kurama up to the D.J. stand and requested some up beat songs but casual enough to be at this even though almost every one was late teens and young adults. Karaoke was on and Kira signed up for it, selecting the song "I Won't Say (I'm im Love) Hercules 1997" When Yuki though it was safe she and Hiei made there way to a table and ordered some drinks for the whole group. She and Hiei talked while the other danced, Kuwahara found them and joined them at the table with a look of pure disgust on his face.

Yuki: You should have seen it coming dude, the way Kira did her hair and that dress, if I where a guy she would be first on my list. Oh Look there is Kira and she is signing up for Karaoke, I should have known.

Hiei: I'm not even going to go there

Kuwahara: But still there is like a line of guys waiting for her.

Yuki: Same with Kira look at them, Oh Kurama is a gentlemen, look at that Kira's going on."

Kira: If there's a price for

Rotten judgment

I guess I've already

won that

No man is worth the aggravation

That's ancient history—

Been there done that!

Muses:

Wh'd'ya think

You're kiddin'

He's the earth and heaven

To ya

Try to keep it hidden

Honey, we can see it right

Through you

Girl, ya can't conceal it

We know how ya feel and

Who you're thinking of

No chance, no way

I won't say it no, no

You swoon, you sigh, why

Deny it, uh-oh!

Its too cliché

I won't say I'm in love

I though my heart had

Learned its lesson

It feels so good when you

start out

My head is screaming,

Get a grip girl

Unless you're dying to cry

Your heart out

Oh

You keep denying

Who you are and how

You're feeling

Baby, we're not buying

Hon, we saw ya hit

The ceiling

Face it like a grown up

When ya gonna own up

That ya got, got ,got it bad

No chance, no way

I won't say it, no , no

Give up, give in

Check the grin you're in love

This scene won't play

I won't say I'm in Love

You're doing flips, read

Our lips:

You're in love

Your way off base,

I won't say it

Get off my case, I won't

Say it

Girl, don't be proud

It's O.K. your in love

Oh

At least out loud, I won't

Say I'm in Love

The crowd goes wild, Kurama has a huge grin plastered to his face, every one was shouting for an encore so she gave it a shot.

Kira: Hey Kurama, come up here its got a guy and a girl part, I hope you all like A whole new world, in the movie Aladdin (1992)

Kurama: I can show you the world

Shinning, shimmering,

Splendid

Tell me, princess

Now when did

You last let your

Heart decide?

I can open your eyes

Take you wonder

By wonder

Over side ways and under

On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world

A new fantastic point

Of view

No one to tell us no

Or where to go

Or say we're

Only dreaming

Kira:

A whole new world

A dazzling place I

Never knew

But when I'm way

Up here

It's crystal clear

That now I'm in a whole

New world

With you

Kurama:

Now I'm in a whole

new world with you

Kira:

Unbelievable sights

Indescribable feeling

Soaring, tumbling

Freewheeling

Through an endless

Diamond sky

A whole new world

Kurama: (don't you dare close your eyes)

Kira: A hundred thousand

Things to see

Kurama: (Hold your breath—

It get better)

Kira:

Kurama:

Kira: (every turn a surprise)

Kurama: With new horizons

New world with you

Kurama: A whole new world

Kira: ( A whole new world)

Kurama: That's where we'll be

Kira: (that's where we'll be)

Kurama: A thrilling chase

Kira: A wondrous place

Both: For you and me

Every one was amazed at this, they cheered and whistled while the others in the group just let there jaws drop.

Botan: Yuki you knew that she could do that right?

Yuki: NO! You knew Kurama could sing right?

Botan: NO!

Yuki: holy shit monkeys…they are good together.

Keiko: Duh! Look Kira is even getting flowers. Here they come!

Kira: Never again do an encore I barely had a voice!

Yuki: Yeah right, you where so good up there, whiskey or brandy?

Kira: Brandy

Yusuke: You drink?

Kira: Only sometimes, I'm more of a wine person.

P.W.: You where great up there Kira. I came to ask if you would dance with me?

Kira: Actually Kurama and I where just about to go out on to the floor.

P.W.: I'll wait then.

Kira grabs Kurama and they rush out on to the floor.

Kira: Well I got out of a tight spot.

Kurama: What was that all about?

Kira: Well he did that last time too and I swear he followed me every where last year too! Oh there he is!

Kurama: It's a slow dance too.

Kira: You are an expert dancer

Kurama: You could say the same your self.

Kira: Th-th-thank you. she blushes

Kurama: I'm getting a bit dizzy maybe we should stop

Kira: We have

Kurama: Oh right, of course…Kira

Kira: Yes?

Kurama: I…I he leans in to kiss her. P.W. taps his shoulder Oh, Prince William.

P.W.: May I?

Kurama: Of course.

Kira: Kurama

Kurama: Yes?

Kira: I-I-I wanted to thank you I guess, yes thank you for that lovely dance.

Kurama: Oh your welcome.

P.W.: Kira shall we?

Kira: Yeah sure.

Kurama walked back to the others. But as soon as he could see them again he decided not to go there instead he turned to the right and walked out on to a balcony that lead to a giant maze garden. He stayed there for a while then came back in and sat with the others.

Yusuke: So when are you going to ask her?

Keiko: Ask who what? Hic.

Kurama: Keiko Drinking?
Keiko: No I just go really nervous because Prince William was talking to me.

Kurama: Drink 10 seconds of water, or you could go to the kitchen and ask for a spoon of peanut butter, holding your breath works sometimes.

Yusuke: Or did you ask her already?

Kurama: No, Yusuke I didn't.

Botan: You better or that Prince will get the better of you.

Kurama: Hahaha, she hates his guts for the way he stalks her.

Yukina: But he seems like such a nice guy!

Kurama: No for her.

Kira: Really, its horrible for me. Yuki can I speak with you? Meet me out on in the middle of the maze, alone! None of you and Hiei get out of my head!

Yuki: sure thing

Kira: I'm going for a drink of punch.

P.W.: Allow me to get it for you.

Kira: I want to get it myself if you touch it I won't drink it.

P.W.: Alright then go ahead.

Kira walked over the food table she grabbed a few shrimp and punch. She came back by the table, and the prince grabbed her arm and pulled her back making her land on his lap. She jumped up and slapped him across the face. And ran out to the garden. Yuki hadn't gotten up yet she shot up like a bullet and told Kurama to stay here and then she ran off after her.

Yuki: Are you sure this is a good time to leave? It's the middle of a ball and all. Kurama will get worried if your gone for long.

Kira: I'm not coming back. I'm going to forget this life and go back to the other bandit life.

Yuki: We will sill run into them, they will come after us to make us return the items you know, you would see him then.

Kira: I'm going to the castle.

Yuki: why there.

Kira: Because he won't come there

Yuki: But-But-But You love each other!

Kira: It wouldn't work!

Yuki: And why not?

Kira: Because my real family wouldn't allow it!

Yuki: Mamma and Pops would love it if he was!

Kira: I didn't tell any one but the other day I went to see my parents and they told me I wasn't biologically theirs. I belong to the royal family, my real mother and father would never allow me to be the wife of him notorious Kurama Youko!

Yuki: Then lets go. If you plan to get away from them and this life than you have to go now. Should we not leave a note first?

Kira: We can't go back the dojo because Genkia is there. We are going to fly out of the country and go back to Japan temporarily call the hotel and leave a message there for them. We will not pack any thing all we have is what we are wearing. Quickly lets leave they may already be suspicious of us now! Please now! Yuki I know that they are coming!

Yuki: Alright. Transform and lets get out of here. Yuki's Tabby cat ears come out and tail, she then has a black dress on that shows her whole back and is strapless and has a few string that tie in the back on her and it doesn't go any further than the middle of her thigh it had a huge black bow in the back and she too got a crown on her head and her hair feel into two pony tails. And the bottom of her dress flared out. She had on knee high boots. Hurry I can scene the tenseness of the group!

Kira: I am! Her dress shortens to what it was originally and the colors stay the same. She had on fishnets and ballet shoes that where black in color that rapped around her legs to her knee. And she kept her crown and her hair lighted up and became really curly and fell out of the buns it was in and shortened their length to about shoulder length. Lets go!

Kira and Yuki raced out of the garden careful to stay way from the building. They had to go over walls in order to get out of the opposite entrance. They had just left in time because Kurama and Hiei came racing toward the center of the maze. Kurama looked around Hiei searched threw his jagan

Hiei: They must have been traveling fast, or they might have used a portal.

Kurama: No they are still here, they haven't left the country yet.

Hiei: What make you think they left the country?

Kurama: A horrible feeling. I know you feel it too.

Hiei: But where would they go?

Kurama: It has to do with the past.

Hiei: Kurama your past and their past could not be intertwined at all they have no past like yours!

Kurama: Yes they do! They helped me! That's how Kira has the Kitsune's Sky!

Hiei: There is some thing that I am missing isn't there?

Kurama: A huge chunk is what you are missing. Come on we have to tell the others and then I'll tell you on the way to demon world.

They race back to the Grand Hall and tell every one, even the prince. Mean while with Kira and Yuki.

Yuki: Let me stop at the hotel and tell Jer its up to him to run it again.

Kira: Check for messages just so we can make sure that they don't know that we are here.

Jer: Yuki and Kira, you have received a message by airmail. And I'll be able to deal with this on my own I have done it before you know. Just be careful please.

Yuki: Jer long good byes never where my thing don't tell the others of this ok! They can't know about well actually I'm going to have to erase you memory because of Hiei. Eat this now and you will it will make you think that was just left for the ball. I'm Sorry Jer.

Kira: Hurry! WE haven't much time to waste! To the Airport we must go!

They made it to the airport and on to the private jet and out of the country, Jer had taken the pill that Yuki gave him and as she told him they would not remember any of this and would not be able to tell or let them know anything. Kurama and Hiei got the hotel just a little to late. Jer didn't know any thing and they where out of the country.
