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! I don't have much to say today except ENJOY THIS CHAPTER!

PLEASE R&R!


"Are We Related?"

Chapter 8: Do You Think This Will Work?


(Still night time)

"You have a better idea, Ayame?"

"Yeah!"

"What could this big idea be? This better be good."

"Oh, it is! What I think we should do is switch places when we go home!"

"Excuse me? Hello, Ayame! How the hell do you expect that to work? We may look the same, but our hair and eyes are different!"

Ayame grinned. "You didn't let me finish! We can make this work by using some hair dye and contact lenses."

"You can't be serious. You have any idea how mom and dad will react to this? Besides, I don't know if I want to dye my hair brown."

"It's not like you have to worry about brown hair looking bad on you. You'll look just like me, and I'll look like you after I dye my hair black and wear blue contacts."

"Whatever you say. I'm still not sure about this."

"Cassie said she'll take us to the mall tomorrow. I'm sure there's a beauty supply store there where we can find some hair dye, and I'm sure there's an eye place there as well. She said it was a big mall."

"Shit, I give up. You win. We'll make the switch."

"Thank you so much! You have no idea how excited I am! Just think, you'll get to meet dad, and I'll get to meet mom."

"How about this: We go back home next Saturday. We can change our hair and eye color on Thursday and that way we'll be already for when we leave. We can give our parents a week to discover us, and if they don't by the time it's been a week we'll just confess to them."

"Good idea. But, I don't know if I'd rather they find out on their own or if we tell them ourselves who we really are."

"Guess we'll just have to find out. Jeez, Ayame! I can't believe you just suckered me into this!"

"Well hey, I have a big huge closet full of clothes, and I'll let you wear as much of them as you want! I have a lot of shoes, too! Just don't destroy anything."

"You better draw me a map of your house since you told me it was bigger than big. If I get lost in it, I'll look like an idiot."

"Don't worry. I'll tell you things you need to know and you tell me things I need to know."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot….When our parents do find out about us, we should call each other. How about we keep our own cell phones with us instead of switching those?"

"That's a good idea. Let's not switch driver's licenses either. One of the ways to prove who we really are is showing them our ID."

"And, when they do find out, I'm dying my hair back."

"Me too." Ayame just remembered something. "Hey Shina, speaking of dying our hair, do you wanna hear a funny story?"

"Sure."

"About a year ago, I went with a few friends to get manicures, and I decided to get blonde highlights in my hair. I came home and my dad was pissed. He hardly ever gets mad at me like that and he never yells at me, either. He told me that I better have my hair dyed back to brown before coming home from school the next day. He lets me wear anything I want and all the make-up I want, but he won't let me dye my hair. He told me I could when I move out."

"That's weird. My mom won't let me dye my hair, either. I asked her if I could get a few streaks put in and she said something along the lines of, 'Over my dead body.' That was only a few months ago."

"After he got mad, I thought it might have something to do with me looking like mom and he wanted me to stay like that so I could remind him of her."

"Maybe. It's makes perfect sense, though. I can tell mom thinks about dad sometimes."


(The Next Day)

"So, Ayame, we're going to the beauty supply store then the eye place so we can find some contact lenses?"

"Yeah. Let's do that first then do other shopping."

"Why do girls want contact lenses?" Cassie said out of curiosity.

Ayame was trying to come up with an answer without saying what her and Shina were really doing. "We, uh, like those cool contacts that come in cool colors and we thought it would be fun to try them out. Yeah, that's right…we just want to try them out." 'That was a close call,' thought Ayame.

"Well, in that case, there's a store at this mall that sells them."

"Awesome. Can you take us there?" said Shina.

"Sure. Right this way."

Cassie took the girls to the eye place and the girls found exactly what they wanted. Then they were off to the beauty supply store.

"May I help you, girls?" the lady at the counter said as the girls walked in.

"Yeah, my sis--I mean my friend and I are looking for some hair dye. We're looking for a shade of brown like hers, and black that looks just like mine."

"The hair dye is in aisle 5."

"Thank you."

The girls headed to aisle 5, and found all sorts of hair dye. Ayame picked up a brown. "Shina, does this shade look exactly like mine, or should I go a little bit lighter?"

"Shina compared Ayame's brown hair with the sample next to the box. "I think it's perfect. Let's get it. I just found black."

"Great, now we're set. But, we can't leave this store without looking at the nail polish first."

After looking at the nail polish, the girls finally made their purchases. Ayame bought a box of black hair dye so she can look like Shina, and five bottles of nail polish; while Shina bought some brown hair dye so she can disguise herself as her sister, and she got a couple bottles of nail polish as well.

"I wanna go to Victoria's Secret if there is one here."

"Yeah, I want to see if they have any good sales. I wanna go to Hot Topic, too. Do you ever go there, Ayame?"

"Yeah. They have neat stuff. I go there with my friends. I also want to go to a shoe place. I don't know how many pairs of shoes I have, but a girl can't have too many!"

"About how many pairs of shoes so you have, Ayame?"

"I dunno. I would guess around a couple hundred."

"Jeez! You were right about saying a girl can't have too many pairs of shoes!"

"Hey, I got an idea, Shina. We should get manicures and pedicures before we go home."

"I don't know. The only time I've done that was for formal school dances. It's hard to get my nails done during basketball season since they would get messed up anyway."

"Oh, come on! Basketball season isn't for awhile. Please! It'll be my treat….I'll pay for it!"

"Okay fine. I guess it'll be fun."


"I am so hungry right now. Good thing it's almost dinner time."

"I'm hungry too, Shina."

"Well girls, my husband will be home from work in about a half hour. Maybe we can go out somewhere. What sound good?"

"Pizza!" The girls said in unison.

"Is there anything my son and my husband and I can eat there?"

"Don't they have salads and water at pizza places?" Shina asked.

"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to go there. You girls are guests in this house after all."


Mr. and Mrs. Brown and their son and Ayame and Shina arrived at the pizza place. The two girls ordered a large three meat pizza to share while the other three ordered salads and water.

"Damn, that is a big pizza. I don't know if between the two of us we can finish it. Do any of you want any?" Shina looked at the Browns and grinned, and Ayame tried to hold in a small laugh.

"No thanks girls. We'll be fine." Cassie.

"Don't worry, Shina. I can probably eat about half of this."

Shina just grinned at her sister. "You eat a lot, don't you?"

"Yeah. The maids at home always ask me how I can eat so much and not gain a pound."

"I'm like that, too. Either we're very lucky, or it's because of all the exercising we do. I jog around the block every afternoon."

"I get a lot of exercise from all the dancing I do at cheer practice, and when I practice at home. I also jog a lot."

Everyone started eating and Ayame thought of an idea. "Hey, Shina." Ayame whispered. "I dare you to sneak a piece of sausage in one of their salads."

"Are you serious?"

"Come on, do it….they're not looking."

"Fine!" Shina took a piece of sausage off the pizza and made sure no one was looking. When it was safe, she hurriedly put the small piece of meat under some lettuce. Mr. Brown took a bite of his salad, and without knowing it, he ate a piece of meat. Ayame started laughing out loud, and so did Shina.

"What is so funny, girls?" asked Cassie.

"Nothing!"


It had gotten dark out awhile ago, and everyone was getting ready for bed. Shina and Ayame got ready for bed and went to their room.

"I can't believe this, Ayame. We go home Saturday. That's less than a week away."

"I know. This has gone by so fast. I was hoping to meet a guy, but I guess I still have a few days."

"It probably would be nice to meet someone here since no guys know who you are here."

"Yeah, and they wouldn't know about my money. They would actually get to know me without knowing how much money my father has. They would like me for me, and that's what I would want."

"So, on Thursday we're dying our hair and going to get manicures and pedicures?"

"Yep. Then that way we're all set for Saturday. Going home shouldn't be so boring since we're gonna be on the same flight. The plane stops at your city first, so in other words I'll be getting off first since I'm disguising myself as you."

"You're gonna like mom. Trust me, Ayame. You will."

"I hope you like it at my house. My dad and I eat out a few times a week for dinner. Him and other business people will go out and discuss business crap, and I tag along sometimes. What's funny is we'll go to some five-star restaurant and I'll order a burger and fries and a soda, while everyone else gets all this other fancy food stuff. They always look at me funny."

"What does dad say?"

"He doesn't care. I like going to those restaurants. They're pretty and everything, but I just don't care about the fancy food. The desserts are usually pretty good, though."

"Do you usually dress up when go out to dinner or what?"

"Yeah, but I don't get dressed up too fancy. Usually a dress and nice shoes will be enough. You don't need to dress up like you're going to prom, but you can if you want to."

"I can't wait to meet dad. We should try getting our parents back together. What do you think, Ayame?"

"That's not a bad idea. I have always wanted both a mom and a dad. I mean, I like it just being me and dad, but I think it would be even better if they were back together and the four of us were a family."

"Well, we will just have to make it so they meet up again after they unswitch us!"


A/N: Wow…I finally got this chapter done! Will Ayame and Shina succeed in getting Shizuru and Sakyo back together? They'll try the best they can, but things will be complicated along the way. But first, the girls have to switch and hope that they'll be successful just doing that. I don't know when I'll get the next chapter out because I have a lot of homework, but I'll try and make time to write it. PLEASE READ & REVIEW!
