I'm alive! I'm alive! I was just really busy lately and I've been lazy!

"Quit with the excuses." Draco said.

Fine. I guess it's the disclaimer, since I can't reply to reviews on here anymore.

"Yes."

Well, then, let's have Kurama do it.

"Cuthien only owns Crystal and Shiara." Kurama said.

Thanks for the reminder. Here's the story!

Last time on CS: Kurama was enspelled by a vampire and Crystal got rid of it by kissing him.

Back in the Spirit World, everyone was asleep. Everyone, that is, except Crystal and Kurama. They were talking in the living room.

"Are you sure this will work?" Kurama asked doubtfully.

"I'm positive. You get everyone out of the room and I'll get them in here." Crystal replied.

"Deal." Kurama said, smiling. Crystal went upstairs to bed.

At around three, she woke up. Everyone except Hiei and Shiara were in the living room. Crystal went on a hunt to find him. Crystal found Hiei in the forest. "Hiei, meet me in the living room at five, ok? I want to discuss our sword lessons." She said before turning and leaving.

She found Shiara in her bedroom. "Hey, Shiara. Meet me tonight at five in the living room, 'k?" she said.

"Why?" Shiara asked.

"I need your help with something." Crystal fibbed.

"Alright." Shiara shrugged and Crystal left.

Crystal spent the next two hours avoiding cleaning her room. It needed to be done, but Crystal hated cleaning.

Finally, it was ten 'til five. Crystal went and set up the living room for her plans. Five minutes left, and Kurama came back. "They're gone. Are you sure this will work?"

"For the twentieth time, I'm positive. I see his eyes light up every time he sees her." Crystal said. "Shh, someone's coming."

"Um, Crys? Why is that on the floor?" Shiara asked.

"Wait and see." Crystal replied, smiling.

Hiei stepped in the room and saw Kurama. "Fox, what-" he started.

Shiara interrupted him. "Alright, Crystal, what is going on here?" Shiara demanded.

"Give me two seconds and I will explain. We are going to play Twister." Crystal said.

"You told me we were going to discuss sword fighting." Hiei growled.

"You told me you need help!" Shiara said, maddened at being tricked.

Crystal grinned deviously. "I lied. We are actually going to play Twister."

"And you call me childish." Shiara scoffed.

"Here's the twist on Twister. Losers have to take off something they are wearing. Winner gets to kiss anyone in the room of their choice." Crystal said. Her smile broadened at the look of horror on Hiei's face.

"I'm gone." Hiei said, turning toward the door.

"No, you aren't. The moment you stepped in the door, you committed yourself. Now, no powers of any kind can be used." Crystal said. She twirled the spinner. "Left foot green." Everyone put their left foot on a green square.

The game continued until they were completely twisted. Then, Crystal fell (purposely), taking both guys with her.

Kurama took off a shoe. Crystal took off her necklace. Hiei took off his bandana. "Alright, Shiara. You get to choose who you want to kiss." Kurama said. Shiara kissed Hiei quickly, blushing bright red.

"Next round." Crystal said happily. This time, Shiara fell first, taking Crystal and Hiei with her.

Crystal took off a bracelet, Hiei his cloak, and Shiara her ponytail. Kurama kissed Crystal, then declared a third round.

This one ended in Hiei still up. It took him a minute to decide to kiss Shiara. He did so quickly, stepping away for a second.

The game continued in this way, with Crystal or Kurama purposely falling every once in a while.

Finally, Crystal and Shiara were stripped to their underclothes, and Kurama and Hiei were down to their pants, and whatever they wore under them.

Kurama pulled Crystal off to the side. "Crys, I don't think it's working." He whispered.

"Of course it is. Shi has stopped blushing every time she wins, and Hiei is kissing longer." Crystal said. She turned to the others. "Alright, two rounds left, three max. Winner gets a prize that only I know about."

After the game went on a while with no one winning, Crystal decided to manipulate the spinner. Shiara and Hiei would be face to face if it landed on Right Hand Blue.

"Right Hand Blue." Crystal called out. Kurama, seeing her plan, took the only other square that Hiei could take. Kurama and Crystal fell. Now it was Shiara and Hiei, but first everyone had to get untangled.

In the end, Hiei won. He kissed Shiara and Shiara pulled off her bra, keeping with the deal at the beginning of the game. Crystal did the same, and Kurama took off his pants.

Alright. Last round, maybe. Let's start." Crystal said.

This time Crystal won. She kissed Kurama and he and Shiara sat on the couch, having lost the game, with the spinner.

"Last round. Hiei vs. Crystal. Winner gets a prize and has to kiss a person of his/her choice." Shiara said seriously.

Crystal took this game seriously. She knew the prize, and she wanted it. Finally she fell. Unfortunately, she took Hiei with her.

"Now what?" Shiara asked.

"Simple. Choose a color. Red, blue, green, or yellow, Hiei?" Crystal said.

"Red."

"Green. Kurama, spin." The spinner landed on red. "Dang. I wanted the prize, too. Oh, well, I'll go get it." Crystal went into the kitchen.

"What's the prize?" Shiara asked Kurama.

"I don't know. She planned the whole thing, I just helped set up." Kurama shrugged.

Crystal came back, carrying two spoons, and… a gigantic bowl of ice cream. Hiei's eyes widened.

"Give it." He said, staring at the bowl.

Crystal raised it above her head. "You don't get the whole thing. You have to share with whoever you chose to kiss."

"He hasn't kissed anyone." Shiara pointed out.

"Hiei Jaganshi! That was in the rules. No kiss, no ice cream." Crystal said sternly.

"Hn." Hiei kissed Shiara, then grabbed the bowl and a spoon. He reluctantly shared with Shiara when she asked.

Once everyone was finished, everyone redressed while Crystal took the bowl in the kitchen. She had gotten dressed while they were eating the ice cream. Then she led them outside. There lay the biggest mud pit anyone had seen.

"Have fun." Crystal said, jumping into the mud. It came up to her calves. Hiei made to leave. Crystal waded over to Shiara. "Throw Hiei in." she whispered in Shiara's ear.

Shiara did and laughed to see a completely muddy Hiei sputtering. He charged her and pushed her completely into the mud. She flung mud at him, which hit Crystal.

That started an all-out mud fight. Kurama just stood at the edge, laughing, until the girls pulled him in. Then he joined in, and mud flew everywhere.

Crystal waded over the Shiara again. "Follow my lead." She said softly. She pounced on Kurama and kissed him. To her surprise, Shiara did the same to Hiei. Even more surprising, Hiei allowed it.

"Am I good or what?" Crystal asked Kurama. "By the way, we're even now. 4-4. The ones during Twister didn't count."

"You are good." Kurama said. He was watching Hiei and Shiara. They still hadn't stopped kissing. "Should we stop them?"

Crystal shrugged. "Why? Shiara finally has what she wanted. I'm happy for her."

"And I have what I wanted." Kurama slid an arm around Crystal's waist and pulled her closer.

"Oh, really? What's that?" Crystal giggled.

"You." Kurama whispered in her ear.

"Later." Crystal said sternly. "Not right here." Then she stood up and yelled. "Oi! If you two don't want to be stuck in dried mud, you might want to get out of there!"

They scrambled out of the mud. Hiei then went into the forest, while Kurama and the girls went in to take showers.

Everyone was sitting in the living room. Hiei was staring out the window. Shiara and Kurama were watching TV. Crystal was reading a book. Yusuke and Kuwabara were arguing. Everyone else were busy doing other things.

Finally, Crystal got extremely annoyed at the arguing. She slammed her book shut and pulled a giant toll of duct tape out of nowhere. Ten minutes later, Yusuke and Kuwabara were completely wrapped in duct tape, except their noses to that they could breathe.

Crystal picked up her book and opened it again, settling into her chair again. "Silence may be golden, but duct tape is definitely silver." She said before getting lost in her book again.

Everyone not in duct tape started at her, confused. Shiara understood Crystal's seemingly random mood swings, but this was major, even for her. But Crystal ignored the stares she was getting, content with the book.

Suddenly she jumped up and yelled something no one could understand, then ran into the kitchen. She came back a few minutes later with a plateful of hot cookies. "They didn't burn." She said with relief, placing the tray on a towel on the coffee table.

Everyone grabbed a cookie and went back to what they were doing; now juggling the hot sweet.

I'll stop here, because I'm not sure how I want the next chapter to be. I have it written out, but I really don't like it. So, I'll try and get back with the final chapter soon. Please tell me if you want a sequel or not. So far I only have one vote for a sequel, and none for no sequel.
