DISCLAMER: I do not own "Yu Yu Hakusho," the movie called "The Parent Trap" or anything else I may mention in this fic. I do however, own a couple original characters. These original characters are NOT reincarnated versions of me, and they are also NOT Mary-Sue fangirls who chase Kurama and Hiei around. Have I made myself clear? Good.

A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated like I said I would. First fall quarter started at school, then I was busy when the holidays came around, and now winter quarter just started; and I have no idea when I'll have the time to do updates. But, I'll try as often as possible. Anyway, don't forget to review when you're done reading!


"Are We Related?"

Chapter 5: Time To Go--Part 2


Shina had been waiting for this day since the end of summer. She was leaving tomorrow morning. She had her bags all packed and ready to go. She had her pj's on and was going to go to bed soon, but not quite yet. She decided to go downstairs to the kitchen where Shizuru was cleaning the dishes from the dinner they ate a few hours ago.

"Mom, I'm going to go to bed soon."

"You're going to need your rest; you'll have to get up early…no sleeping in this time."

"I know. I need to quit staying up 'til 1a.m. If I get tired, I'll just sleep on the plane."

"Just try not to oversleep tomorrow morning."

"Well, I guess I will go to bed now. The sooner I go to sleep, the sooner tomorrow will come."

Shina got up from her chair and gave her mother a small kiss on the cheek.

"G'night mom."

"Good night."

Shina didn't know if she was going to be able to sleep. She was too excited. She crawled into her bed and her cat jumped up and laid down next to her. She finally fell asleep an hour later.


It was time to wake up and Shina was wide awake. She got right out of bed, showered, got dressed in some jeans, a black shirt with a picture of InuYasha on it, and a pair of sandals. She fixed her hair in just a simple pony tail and put on a little bit of make-up.

As soon as she was ready, she went down stairs where Shizuru was drinking a cup of coffee.

"I'm ready, mom!"

"Good. I have your bags in the car. You might want to eat something before we go. We're leaving for the airport in twenty minutes."

"Okay. I'll just fix myself a bowl of cereal."

After Shina was done eating, she said good-bye to her cat and left for the airport. As soon as she got there, Shizuru took two bags and Shina carried one bag and her purse. Shizuru didn't know why her daughter thought she needed three bags, but she thought that was the way teenagers were. She remembered being the same way when she was that age.

Shina didn't have to wait too long to get her boarding pass and to check her bags. She decided not to take any carry-on luggage, but she wanted to keep her purse with her. The next thing she had to do was go through the security gate, and she didn't have any problems there either.

About a half hour later, her plane started boarding. "Well mom, I gotta go. I'll call you as soon as I get there. I have my cell."

"Have a good time, okay?"

"Okay." Shizuru gave her daughter a hug and Shina returned it. She also gave her mother a kiss on the cheek. "Bye mommy."

"Bye."


Shina found her seat on the plane and was happy that it was a window seat. After she sat down, the one who was to sit next to her finally found his seat. He was good looking and he looked about her age. One thing that bothered her about him is he wouldn't stop talking. 'Oh great….what a fun plane ride this will be.' She thought sarcastically.

The flight attendants all did their thing that they do on every flight, which is go through all the emergency procedures in case something were to happen, and to show people how to fasten their seatbelts. As soon as the plane took off and the flight attendants said it was okay to use electronic devices, Shina took her iPod and her headphones out of her purse and started listening to some music. She had every song of the InuYasha and Cowboy Bebop soundtracks loaded on there, along with some other types of music. The in-flight movies were "Kill Bill Volume 1" and "Kill Bill Volume 2." They kept her entertained since they were a couple of her all time favorite movies. There were also some meals on the plane, too. If she wasn't listening to music, watching a movie, or eating, then she was either playing video games on her cell phone or sleeping—anything to not have to listen to the yapping coming from the guy sitting next o her. Luckily, there was another girl sitting on the other side of him who was just as weird as him. Shina could have sworn she heard them exchange phone numbers.


"Ayame, are you ready to go to the airport to meet the other exchange student?"

"Yeah. Just a second, Cassie!" It was the night after Ayame had arrived and they were to go pick up Shina today. Ayame was just finishing fixing her hair when Cassie said it was time to go. She finally came out of the bathroom and grabbed her purse. "I'm ready now."


The plane finally arrived in San Francisco. Shina was excited to meet the family she will be staying with. As soon as the flight attendants said it was okay to start getting off the plane, Shina and the other passengers got off. As soon as she was inside the airport, she was looking around for a family with a boy that looked about ten years of age, along with another exchange student. She finally found them. "Excuse me, is your last name Brown?"

Cassie looked at the girl and replied. "Yes it is. You're Shina Kuwabara?"

"Yes I am. It is nice to meet you."

"It is nice to meet you, too. My name is Cassie." Cassie then introduced Shina to her husband and son.

Ayame finally spoke up. "And my name is Ayame. I'm the other exchange student."

Shina looked at Ayame and thought something was weird. 'This is strange. She looks almost like me, except her eyes are brown and so is her hair. Come on, Shina! What are you thinking? She's probably some rich snob. Look at that designer purse she's carrying! That thing had to have cost a fortune.'

Ayame thought something was strange about Shina. "This is too weird. She has the same nose as me. She has the same face as me! What are you thinking Ayame! Snap out of it!'

"Can we go now, mom?" The sound of the little boy's voice snapped the girls out of their thoughts.

"Dennis, that was rude. We'll go as soon as we pick up Shina's luggage."

After they picked up Shina's luggage, they were headed to the home Ayame and Shina would be staying at for the next couple weeks. Cassie spoke up again. "Well Shina, we all look forward to having you and Ayame here for the next couple weeks. We do have a few rules that we would like the two of you to abide by."

"Have fun trying to follow these rules, Shina." Ayame said with a small laugh.

"The rules are: no profanity and no clothes that how your belly button or too much cleavage. We find those things inappropriate in our household. And we are vegans, but we can make an exception for you since you and Ayame are guests in our house. If you want burgers or ice cream or any food that is an animal product, you can have it but my husband and son and I won't eat any of it."

"Okay. I'll try my best to follow the rules."

"We can go to the store tomorrow."

"'Kay." The girls said in unison.

Ayame showed Shina the room that the two of them will be staying in. There were two twin beds and a vanity so they can fix their hair and do their make-up. Shina unpacked her things and called her mom to say she made it over safely.


A/N: Dun Dun Dun! The girls are already starting to suspect things about each other, but so far they're both in denial! Will they find out about each other? And will they break the house rules? I'm sure you all know the answers to those questions! PLEASE R & R!
