What's Love Got to Do with It?
Ch. 5
Alright…Starting this chapter off with a comedic style…I don't want this story to be TOO serious or filled with too much drama…though I think I've done that already….Well…ONWARDS!

"It is unknown weather or not Hiei ventured to Kyoko's house after he walked away from the others…."
Kyoko leaned out of her window, "Hey! You! Shut up!" She shouted to a man with a megaphone.
"I was only trying to narrate!"
"Go!"
The man sighed, putting the megaphone down at his side and walking off into the darkness.
Hoshi sat up, looking at Kyoko, "That was weird…"
"Hells yeah…" Kyoko said, frowning a bit.

The next few days went without incident…The blips on Koenma's screen hadn't been acting up, and nothing odd had been happening at school except for the, 'strange human practices' Hiei found so…incredibly strange.
So there said demon sat on a Saturday morning in a tree in the park, Kyoko sitting on the ground below him and Kurama leaning against said tree looking down at Kyoko…
Hiei lifted his head, a familiar aura coming towards him and the rest…someone who piqued his interest…
"Kyoko!" A voice called…Said girl lifted her head with a smile and looked at the emerald eyed girl rushing towards her…
"Hey Hoshi." Kyoko said smiling and readjusting her black top hat that she had chosen to wear for no apparent reason. Kurama gave Hoshi a slight wave and smile before going back to staring off with a thoughtful expression.
Hiei glanced down to the brunette and then to his red headed friend. "Hn." He crossed his arms, his legs dangling down from the branch he was currently sitting on.
"Hello to you too…" Hoshi said to the fire demon, giving a small salute, causing Hiei to arch an eyebrow.
Kurama chuckled, green eyes flickering over to Hiei as he rested his pale fingers on his chin. "See? She speaks your language…"
Kyoko laughed a bit before tilting the top hat down to shadow her eyes, "A very complex language it is…" The raven haired girl commented with a smile, glancing over to Hoshi who was standing under Hiei, looking up at him.
Hiei's red eyes remained flat as she looked down at the human girl who was staring at him, "What?" He questioned, once again raising a brow.
"Is…that thing a dress?" Hoshi questioned, pointing to Hiei's dark cloak.
The fire demon jumped down, landing gracefully in front of her, his red eyes narrow as he stared angrily at the girl who was, surprisingly, the same height as him (minus the hair). "It's a cloak…not…a dress…" Hiei said, growling lowly.
Hoshi shrank back a bit, "Eep…"
In the background Kurama and Kyoko stared in shock, Kyoko was the first to speak.
"Hoshi…I didn't…Wow…You're really that short?" She questioned astonished.
Hiei and Hoshi turned, looking at Kyoko, "Hey!" The both shouted at the same time. Hoshi shouting at her for being called short and Hiei shouting at her because he was used as a measuring stick.
Kurama laughed a bit, looking to Kyoko and then to the two angry people.
Hoshi sighed, turning her attention back to Hiei, "So…it's a cloak not a dress." She stated, though it was more of a question. The fire demon nodded and Hoshi smirked, the words that were about to come out of her mouth were going to make Hiei angry and she knew it…That's the whole reason she said them, "Really? Cause it looks like a dress to me…"
"What!" The enraged demon questioned, glaring at her with fire in his eyes, (not literally).
Kurama smirked, "I see Hoshi has a bit of Yusuke in her…"
Kyoko turned her attention to him, "Who's Yusuke?"
"Oh…that's right you haven't met…well…who could name a better time…" The fox demon stood, glancing to the feuding duo, "Hiei…We should introduce them to Yusuke and the rest…"
Hiei, who was currently glaring down Hoshi who was shrinking back sighed, crossing his arms and began to leave the park.
"That's a yes…" Kyoko murmured, jumping to her feet and following Hiei.
Hoshi smirked a bit, standing next to Kurama, "Maybe that wasn't as funny as I hoped it'd be…" She smiled, keeping in step with Kurama. "Hey…Kurama…Suichi?"
His green eyes looked down at her, "You can call me what you wish to…what is it?" He questioned the girl kindly as he briefly glanced to Kyoko and noticing Hiei running on the rooftops…
"Does Hiei hate me?"
Kurama jumped, slightly shocked at her question, "No, no…If he hated you he would have made it obvious by now…" The fox smirked, "In fact…He probably thinks of you more as a…close…friend."
Hoshi quirked an eyebrow, "How can we be close friends? I barely know him? And he barely knows me."
Kurama simply smiled and continued forward without a word…

A blue haired woman flew above the city; on her way back to spirit world to get more reports from Koenma…Apparently something big had just happened, though nothing strange was seen in the city…
"Whatever's going on must be very strange…I can't even sense anything odd…" Botan said to herself, glancing down, "Oh! Hi Hiei!" She shouted with a wave.
Said demon glanced up to her, before jumping to the next rooftop.
Botan smiled, doing a U-Turn and flying next to him, "Going to Yusuke's I see…Keiko and Kuwabara are over there too, along with Shizuru…." ( I hope I spelled that right…)
"Hn." The red eyed man glanced to her, jumping again.
"Heh…You're welcome!" Botan said happily before flying off again…
"Hn…." Hiei jumped down into an alley that was close to Yusuke's home. Stepping out of the shadows the demon walked towards said house. He didn't bother to knock on the door, simply opened it and stepped inside.
"Hey Hiei…" Yusuke called, recognizing the silent actions of the demon.
Hiei stepped into the room Yusuke was in, spotting Keiko and Kuwabara. He glanced back to the man in the green suit, "Kurama and the others are on their way…"
"Others?" Keiko chimed in, glancing over to the brown eyed boy, arching an eyebrow.
"Yeah…two girls, something to do with Koenma…or something…" Yusuke said blankly.
"Geeze Urameshi, you don't even pay attention to Koenma or what's going on do you…Hey hamster legs…" Kuwabara said, receiving a glare from the spiky haired fire demon.
"Oh yeah? Well why don't you try to explain it better!" Yusuke exclaimed, looking to Kuwabara.
"Uh…Keiko…um…" The red head trailed off…
Shizuru, who had been looking out the window, finally spoke up, "Why don't you just wait till Kurama gets here…or until Botan comes back…I'm sure if you ask one of them will explain…" She said, looking over her shoulder.
Keiko smiled, "It's ok…I think I understand…they're like you guys right?" The brunette said, gesturing to Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei with her hands.
"Not exactly…" A familiar voice said…Kurama stepped into the room, responding to the last little tid-bit of the conversation.
"Yo…" Yusuke said to him giving him a slight wave…
Kurama nodded, stepping aside as the two girls came into the room.
"So we finally meet in person…" Kyoko said as she walked over to Yusuke, top hat shadowing her eyes.
"Let me guess…you're Kyoko…?"
Said girl nodded, glancing over to Kuwabara and the others and waving a little. Hiei glanced over to Hoshi as she walked over to him, crossing her arms and standing next to him.
Yusuke stared at the pair, eye widening, "She's as short as you!" He exclaimed, pointing.
Hiei and Hoshi glared at Yusuke, both stepping forward in unknown synchronism. Hiei's hand moved to his sword as he glared at the spirit detective angrily, "Do not use me as a comparison to her height…" She stated harshly.
"And don't call me short!" The chestnut haired girl piped in, waving her arms angrily.
"I think you just don't want me callin' your girlie friend short…" Yusuke teased, standing and looking down at Hiei.
"Hey!" The two short people shouted angrily…Hiei pulling out his sword and pointing it at Yusuke, "Shut up you fool…"
"Heh…My my…." Kurama smiled meekly, looking to Keiko, "I could explain now if you want…"
Keiko nodded, "Thanks Kurama…" She said with a smile, walking over to the fox demon. Kurama smiled and began to explain the ordeal to Keiko. Soon Shizuru wandered over to listen in and get more detail…

Koenma paced back and forth on his desk, which for once was not covered with paper work. "Oh…"
Botan entered the room, her pink kimono sleeves swaying. "Koenma sir…what is it?" She questioned.
"Yes…what have you called us for sir…" A familiar voice said from behind Botan. The raven haired spirit guide stepped forward.
"Good…Botan, Ayame, come here please…I want you to take a look at this…"
Said girls stepped forward, standing on either side of Koenma's desk, looking at the screen.
Koenma zoomed in on one area on the screen, "This is where Kyoko, Hoshi, Hiei and the rest are…" He said. The two guides nodded.
"Yes...oooh they're color coordinated…" Botan said looking to the green dot which resembled Hoshi.
"Yes Botan…Now…That's Hoshi and Kyoko…over here…." The toddler zoomed in on another area, an open area. Two dots where located on the screen both sending out very large blips of energy. "These are the other two girls…I believe they are Nami and Haya, according to Hiei's reports…" He turned to the girls, "This isn't good…that energy is similar to what happened with Hoshi the other day…only larger…This energy is equal to Yusuke's…"
Botan let out a short gasp, "That much? Wow…"
"You've got to be kidding Koenma sir…Yusuke is the Dark Tournament champion…how can two girls match his strength after only one week?" Ayame said with a worried tone.
Koenma looked to her, "Yes…One week. Think about it…One week and this energy matches Yusuke…Think of what could happen if they where to learn how to control and manipulate that energy…" He looked down, "They could easily surpass Yusuke…"
The toddles jumped into his chair, putting his hands to his head, "I knew this would turn into a catastrophe…"
"What do you want us to do about this?" Ayame asked, leaning forward a bit, her black hair swaying.
Koenma's brown eyes flickered over to Ayame, "Ayame…I want you to follow the two girls known as Haya and Nami, stay in your spirit form, do not let them see you and do not let them freak out."
"Right sir…" The black haired spirit guide disappeared…
"Botan…" Koenma looked to the pink eyed girl.
"Yes Koenma sir?"
"I want you to take Kyoko and Hoshi to Genkai…"
"Don't you think that's a little drastic?"
"No…Actually I don't…is Nami and Haya are able to produce that energy then so are Kyoko and Hoshi, and I know that for a fact. Genkai needs to train them to show them how to control their power…"
"Right…You can count on it…I think they're at Yusuke's right now…"
"Good…I want them at Genkai's ASAP…"
Botan nodded, her oar materializing in her hand as she exited his office and headed back to earth, flying next to Ayame…

Keiko exited the kitchen with a plate of cookies, "I made cookies…Shizuru, Kurama, and Kuwabara helped me…"
Yusuke glanced up to her, "Where'd you get all the stuff to make cookies?" He questioned.
Kurama spoke up, "I had Hiei go to the store…"
"How'd you manage that…?"
Kurama smiled meekly while the rest of the people present sweat dropped…
At this time Kuwabara popped in, "Yeah…how did you get Hiei to go to the store? I mean like…Without killing everyone?"
"Oh…just…bribing…." Kurama answered glancing to the fuming Hiei and then to Hoshi who was currently holding a cookie and talking to Keiko.
Yusuke followed his friend's eyes and looked to Hoshi and then back to Kurama, "What do you mean?"
"I had Hoshi go with him…Hiei does have to watch her; and Kyoko." The red head answered calmly before turning on his heels and walking over to the fire demon.
The door opened and everyone looked to see who it was.
"Oh…Botan you're back…" Shizuru commented, biting into a cookie.
The blue haired woman walked over to the center of the room, "Koenma has given me orders to take Hoshi and Kyoko to Genkai's place for training…"
"Hey…wait….what?" Yusuke questioned, rubbing the back of his head.
Botan sighed and began to explain what Koenma had told her…

Ayame hovered in Nami's back yard where said girl and Haya were located. She watched them carefully…
Nami looked down at the foot deep Coy pond. "Haya…watch…"
Haya nodded and watched Nami's movements. The blond put her hands above the pond, sweeping them up, all of the water coming up along with her movements…Haya gazed at the fish that remained on the ball of water, unharmed. "Wow Nami…."
Nami smirked, resting the water back into it's rightful area…Haya smiled cupping her hands together and creating a ball of air and then releasing it with a smile on her face. "See?"
The blond nodded, looking to the ball of air and then created one of water from the pond. Nami smirked, "Heh…just wait till Kyoko sees this…."
Little did the two., and Ayame, know that in the shadows of a trees a powerful demon was sitting…watching…waiting…
The man smirked, revealing a small fang, "This Kyoko is an ally of the spirit detective and his friends…" He thought evilly, looking down to Nami, "This water girl might be of use to me…"
