I love you guys! A chance that I might not update for a month and you guys still support me! Sniffs back tears Dra Gan actually helped me from the mob. You guys are too kind!

Dra Gan the Dragoniodian King: Thanks for the help. Draco was getting a bit tired. (Draco: I was not!) Just stay there, Draco. Be glad we have a dragon willing to help us when I get us into trouble. (Draco: I can see that happening in the very near future. You better stay nearby, Dra Gan.

Yuki Amida: I'm back! Was that fast enough for you?

Yuki Amida: (From chapter nine) Well, for whatever the reason, glad you're back.

psycogirl234: Got it. I was just wondering. See, I'm psychotic like that. Hey! I spelled psychotic right! Yay me!

"Disclaimer, Cuthien." Draco reminded me.

Oh, yeah. Kurama's doing the disclaimer.

"Cuthien only owns Crystal and Shiara. Anyone mentioned from YYH is not hers." Kurama said.

Thanks Kurama. On with chapter… 10! I think.


Last time on CS: (Ugh, it's been a while) Crystal found out she was a magician and wanted to leave. Kurama calmed her down, though.

Kurama came back later to see Crystal sitting cross-legged on her bed. A carton was in her lap, and a spoon in her hand. A towel was piled on top of her head.

"What are you eating?" Kurama asked, smiling slightly.

"Eating." Crystal replied simply.

"What are you eating?" Kurama asked.

"Ice cream."

"You do know that's Hiei's favorite food, right?" Kurama said. He felt Hiei listening in on his conversation with Crystal.

Crystal nodded. "Shiara told me. Why do you think I'm in my room?"

That was enough for Hiei. Kurama felt his presence come closer. "Well, here are a few hints. Close the door all the way. And shut the window- too late." Hiei flashed into the room.

Crystal threw herself over the carton while Hiei tried to wrestle it from her. Kurama snuck out of the room and went into the kitchen. When he returned, Crystal was standing on the floor, holding the carton above her head and Hiei was staring at her grumpily. Kurama cleared his throat and held up two bowls. "May I make a suggestion?"

Five minutes later, the carton was empty, Crystal had a bowl of ice cream, and Hiei was walking out of the room holding his own bowl.

"I didn't think anyone could match Hiei's love for ice cream." Kurama said, watching Crystal eat hers.

"I have loved ice cream since I was born. It's my chocolate." Crystal said happily. They were on a subject she liked.

"What do you mean?" Kurama asked, confused.

"You know how for most people, chocolate heals all wounds? Ice cream is my chocolate." Crystal said.

They heard a scream from down below. "Crystal! Get down here!" Shiara yelled.

"I'm in trouble." Crystal said. She clutched her bowl tighter and walked out the door. Kurama picked up the empty carton and ice cream scoop and followed her out.

When he reached the living room, Crystal was sitting on the floor eating ice cream ad Shiara was standing over her. Kurama went in the kitchen. He heard a scream come from the living room and dashed back in there. Shiara was holding Crystal's bowl and Crystal was holding her head, screaming.

"Give it back!" Crystal yelled.

"You weren't listening!" Shiara yelled back. "Plus, you got a brainfreeze!"

"Don't care. Give it." Crystal stood up and started advancing on Shiara. Shiara backed up and fell into a chair. "Ha. Give my ice cream back now."

"No! Listen to me first!" Shiara yelled.

"Give it." Crystal said menacingly.

Kurama cleared his throat again. He seemed to be getting people out of arguments a lot today. "How about I hold the ice cream, just hold it, while Crystal listens to you, Shiara?" he suggested.

"Fine with me." Shiara said.

"Only if I can stand next to the bowl." Crystal said.

"No. You wouldn't pay attention then. I will stand in that corner and you will stay there and listen to Shiara." Kurama said. He took the bowl away from Shiara and went to stand in the corner farthest away from the two girls.

"Alright, Crys, now we talk. Why did you give Hiei ice cream?" Shiara asked.

"I didn't. Kurama did. Besides, you can use this to your advantage." Crystal replied.

Shiara froze in the process of standing up. "How so?"

"Are you really that dense?" Crystal rolled her eyes. "It's so simple. With him hyped up on sugar, his guard will be down…" she trailed off.

"Oh, I see now." Shiara breathed. "Thanks for the advice!" she ran out of the room.

Kurama came out of the corner and handed Crystal her ice cream. "What was that about?" he asked.

"I just gave her a way to fulfill a fantasy or two of her." Crystal said. She looked at her ice cream and frowned. "It's melting."

"Do I want to know what those fantasies are?" Kurama asked, ignoring the comment about the ice cream.

"I don't want to know. You definitely won't." Crystal said. She fell silent and finished her ice cream soup.


Well, I'm back! Sorry if this seems short, but I wanted to get this out and tell you all I'm doin' great in my new home! It's totally cool!

"Are you hyped up on sugar or something?" Draco asked.

Nope. I haven't had any sugar this morning. Yet. Well, you know the drill. (Hands up, cash out: Proud Family) Actually, Please review! Walks out followed by Draco and sees Dra Gan overhead Hi Dra Gan I hope you and everyone else loved the chapter!
