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.


"Are We Related?"

Chapter 6: Getting To Know Each Other


It was the morning after Shina had arrived. Ayame got dressed in a skirt and a tube top; and Shina was wearing a denim skirt above the knee and a tight fitted black shirt. They had an idea of wearing these outfits on purpose just to get a reaction out of Cassie. And it worked. She told them they had to change their clothes, but after a lot of begging and pleading from the girls, she gave in.

"Do you girls want any breakfast?"

"What are we having?" Ayame was a little afraid of the answer.

After Cassie said they were having some weird vegan dish Ayame and Shina have never heard of, the girls declined. Little Dennis was sitting at the table and he scarfed his food down.

"Are you girls ready to go to the store?"

"Yeah." Ayame said eagerly.

"Me too." Said Shina, as eager as Ayame.

Cassie, her son, and Ayame and Shina got into the car and headed to the grocery store. Once they got there and got inside the store, the girls separated from Cassie and Dennis. They took a cart and did not have a problem filling it up. Ayame and Shina picked up a couple bags of sour cream n' onion chips, a few boxes of pop tarts, a few packages of licorice, and a few frozen pizzas. They also got a few cases of soda and went to the pastry aisle and found lots and lots of goodies. After that, they headed to the magazine section to see if they can find anything good to read about. They picked up a few magazines and found Cassie.

"Girls, is any of this food healthy?"

"No." said the two girls with grins on their faces.

"Well, why don't we go pay for this stuff so we can be on our way?"

Ayame got out her credit card and paid for her stuff and Shina paid for hers as well. As soon as they were done, a checker came up and asked if they would like any help taking their groceries to the car. He was good looking and he had to be at least seventeen. Cassie was about to say her and the girls didn't need help, but Ayame interrupted and smiled a flirty smile at the guy and said she'd be glad to have him help.

After the guy helped load the groceries into the car and go back in the store, everyone got in the car. "Were you flirting with him, Ayame?" Shina asked with a grin.

"I guess." Both girls started laughing.

"Do any of you girls have boyfriends?" Cassie asked

"I don't." Shina said.

"I don't either." Said Ayame.

Then the girls got into their own conversation. "Ayame, you of all people do not have a boyfriend?"

"It's a long story, and it's complicated."

"I would think the guys would be throwing themselves at you!"

"They do alright…you have no idea. I'll tell you about it later." Ayame groaned.


It was getting late at night and everyone was in bed, except Ayame and Shina. They were already in their pj's and in the room they were sleeping in, but they weren't ready for bed yet. The time everyone went to bed was the only time the girls could have their own conversation and use swear words without Mr. or Mrs. Brown getting mad. So, they took advantage of this time. They hadn't' brushed their teeth yet because they weren't done stuffing their faces with chips and licorice.

"So, why don't you have a boyfriend, Ayame? You said earlier you would tell me why it's so complicated."

"Well, I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but my father is very wealthy; so in other words, I am too. My friends all know, but I let them figure it out for themselves. I have friends who are boys, but not an actual boyfriend."

Shina was listening. "Go on."

"I never tell anyone I'm rich, they can figure it out on their own. My friends pretty much got the clue when they saw what brand names of clothes I have on or if they have been to my house. You know how rumors travel fast in middle school and high school, right? Well it wasn't long until everyone at school figured out I had money. Guys threw themselves at me as soon as they saw me in a limo. Even nerds tried to ask me out."

"What would they do? Offer to tutor you in math or something so they can ask you out later?"

"Actually, yes. It was a pretty dumb thing to do since they knew I was in advanced placement classes and that I had the fourth highest grade point average in the school. I can easily tell when someone likes me for my money."

"How can you tell?" Shina asked with curiosity.

"Well, one day a guy asked me out who I've seen on campus many times. He was always with a few slutty girls everyday. He never even talked to me until he heard about the money. He asked me out and I turned him down without hesitation. Another time, some girl wanted to suddenly be my friend. She was a brat and she was rude to a lot of people. Out of nowhere she said she wanted to be my friend. She started being overly nice to me, and so I thought it was obvious she was after my money."

"That's crazy. People can be so shallow."

"I know. Having a lot of money doesn't always have its perks. There are many downsides. I ride around in a limo once and awhile, but I have my own car and so I drive myself around most of the time. I like driving. It gives me a sense of freedom."

"Ayame, I have a confession to make. When I saw you at the airport carrying that designer purse, I pictured you as some spoiled brat who gets everything she wants. Now that I've known you for one day, I think you're a very nice person to be around. I'm sorry for judging you before getting to know you."

"Apology accepted. You didn't have to do that. I get it all the time from people. I love my designer purses and clothes, but I love my dad and my friends so much more."

"That's nice. I guess my mom and I could be considered millionaires. She told me my father left her a large sum of money. My parents never got married and I've never met my father." Shina did not want to talk about her father, but she tried not to mention him. "My mother said she didn't accept all of the money he offered, but what she did take was still a lot. She bought a new house with it so she could move out of her parents' home, and she saved a big chunk of it for my college education, and the rest is in a bank account. My mom is a beautician, and so she used some of the money to open her own beauty salon."

"That's cool. So, do you get to do anything fun with that money?"

"Yeah, sort of. The house my mom bought after I was born isn't big, but it's big enough for the two of us and it has a couple extra bedrooms. We don't spend our money on a lot of big and fancy stuff, and there is enough in there for my mom to retire at a young age if she wants to, but she likes working as a beautician."

"Do you get your hair done for free?"

"Yep! She's really good, too. There's probably enough there for me to never have to work, but I wanna live like a normal person. I wanna be able to design clothes."

"That's awesome. Maybe you'll become some famous designer! I want to be dancer. It would be fun to be a back-up dancer for some famous singer. I love to dance. I was on the dance team at my school, then I became a cheer leader."

"How neat. I play basketball. Our girl's team only lost one game last season! I can't decide if I wanna play in college or not. I have one more year to decide."

"Well Shina, if you're that good maybe you should consider it!"

"I don't know. I'd like to focus on school when I'm in college."

"At least think about it. You never know if anyone from any one of the colleges might be watching you at your games! If they see you, they might want you to apply for their school!" Ayame and Shina started laughing at each other. "Well, Shina, I'm going to go brush all this sugar out of my teeth and go to bed."

"Yeah, me too." Shina looked down at what was left of the licorice. "Ayame? Do you realize this bucket of licorice is almost half way empty? We only got it his morning!"

"Oops. I guess we ate more than we thought." Both girls brushed their teeth and put their food away and went to bed.

"Good night Shina."

"Night Ayame."

'There is something so weird about Shina. I feel like there's some connection between us.' Ayame finally closed her eyes and went to sleep.

'This is so strange! She looks almost like me, but I've never met her before…I'm sure of it! Maybe I'm just tired and my sleepiness is causing me to think weird things.' Shina thought, and then she went to sleep.
