Hello! Yes, I'm finally updating. (bows) Sorry for the reeeeeee(gasp)eeeeaaaally long wait. I'm sure you guys didn't come back just to hear me rant, so on with the show-er-fic! Oh, there's a spoiler near the beginning of the chapter, so beware.

Disclaimer- Nope. Still don't own it.

Chapter 4

Introductions and Embarrassment

"Wow, it's really nice out here." Kurama commented. They had left the city and were now walking through the countryside. Yusuke took a deep breath.

"No smog, either." He said.

"Of course not. This kind of area is perfect for raising space cows." Sakura said matter-of-factly. The boys immediately halted in their tracks.

"Um…I didn't hear ya right. Did you say space cows?" Kuwabara asked uncertainly.

"Get out of the way! Stampede!" They heard a male voice yell. They ran off the road, just as a herd of badly drawn cow-looking things ran by, with a white haired man sitting on the one in the lead. As the last of the herd ran by, they saw a rabbit/cat looking thing clinging to the tail of a cow. (If you've ever seen the Tenchi Muyo! series, then you probably know who that is.)

"What. The. Hell."

(At the farm a few minutes later)

"Lester, how'd they get out?" Sakura questioned, gesturing to the currently grazing space cows.

"Well, I, uh…fell asleep and…" Lester stuttered embarrassedly. Sakura groaned and slapped her hand to her forehead. (BTW, Lester doesn't belong to me either. He belongs to the people that created Galaxy Angel. Great anime.) "So, who're your friends?" He asked.

"This is Yu-chan, Kuwa, and Kitsune-kun!" Mint yelled. Sakura cleared her throat.

"Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama." She said. Lester held his hand out so Yusuke could shake it.

"Name's Lester." He said. Yusuke smiled and shook Lester's hand.

"Nice to meet ya." He said.

"I didn't think I'd get to meet the guys who (SPOILER! BEWARE!) took down Toguro and Sensui." Lester added. Yusuke paused.

"You know about that?" He asked.

"Of course I do. I do live with two spirit detectives, after all." Lester answered. Suddenly, the rabbit/cat thing from before jumped onto Sakura's head and mewed cutely.

"Ryo-Ohki!" Mint squealed, grabbing the rabbit/cat.

"What is that thing?" Yusuke asked. Ryo-Ohki bit him, offended at being called a thing. "Ow!" He cried, rubbing his finger.

"Ryo-Ohki is my spirit beast. She looks half rabbit and half cat so we call her a 'cabbit'." Sakura explained, scratching Ryo-Ohki behind the ear. (Ryo-Ohki doesn't belong to me. She belongs to the people behind Tenchi Muyo!)

"You certainly have some odd animals on your farm." Kurama said, looking around.

"We have more that we got from Makai." Lester stated.

"Isn't that illegal?" Kurama questioned suspiciously. Lester looked away with shifty eyes.

"Maybe…" He said. Mint suddenly pushed Sakura forward.

"Saki-chan will give you a tour!" She said.

"As interesting as freaky cows are, I think I'll pass." Yusuke said.

"Me too." Kuwabara agreed.

"Well, I'd like to see this farm some more. I'd love a tour." Kurama said.

"Um, ok…" Sakura said, blushing a bit. (She does that a lot. Maybe she should get that checked out.)

"Saki-chan and Kitsune-kun are going on a date!" Mint screamed while jumping up and down. That, of course, resulted in another game of "tag". When Sakura almost caught up to Mint, Lester grabbed the back of her shirt.

"Calm down and get goin'." He said, shoving Sakura towards Kurama.

"Bakayaro!" Sakura screamed, being dragged away by Kurama before she could cause any harm.

"She has major mood swings." Kuwabara stated. A bucket flew through the door Kurama and Sakura left through and connected with his head.

(With Kurama and Sakura)

Sakura stomped ahead of Kurama, still fuming.

"Hmm…how should I kill them? Or maybe I can make them my slaves when I take over the world. Bwahahahaha…" She muttered.

"What are you mumbling about?" Kurama asked suddenly. Sakura jumped about ten feet into the air.

"Nothing!" She answered, smiling innocently.

"So, does all this belong to you guys?" Kurama questioned, trying to start a conversation.

"It really belongs to Lester, but he lets Mint and I live here since we don't have any parents." Sakura replied.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Kurama said, suddenly feeling sorry for her.

"Don't be. Neither of us really remembers our parents anyway." She smiled. But that didn't make Kurama feel any better. They stood in front of a lake, looking at the multi-colored fish.

"Let me guess: Reikai fish?" Kurama asked.

"Yep! Don't tell Koenma, though. Lester likes his 'exotic' livestock." Sakura joked. Kurama chuckled a bit. A stray space cow walked up to the lake and began drinking from it. Kurama just stared at it. "A few years ago, the space cows fell out of the sky and onto the farm. Lester thought they were cute and decided to breed them." Sakura explained. Kurama had a sudden mental image of Lester sitting out in the field, reading bedtime stories to the space cows and telling them how cute they were in a baby voice.

Sakura spun around quickly, about to say something, but tripped over her own feet. She started falling and Kurama grabbed her hand, getting dragged into the water as well.

"Sorry, Kurama…" She apologized after popping back up above the surface.

"No problem." He said, squeezing the water out of his hair.

"Moooo!" The space cow from before said-er-mooed.

"Shut up!" Sakura snapped, raising herself out of the lake.

"Mooo. (Translation: "Meanie.")" The space cow mooed again before leaving.

"Big baby." Sakura muttered.

"Woah!" Kurama cried, doing a weird dance.

"Um…what are you doing?" Sakura asked hesitantly.

"There's something in my pants!"

"Well, I certainly hope so…"

"I'm not talking about that! There's something in my pants that shouldn't be!" He said, squirming around. He reached into his pants. Sakura squeaked and turned away blushing. He pulled out……….a purple frog that had antennae. He threw it back into the lake. "You can turn around now." He said. Sakura was about to say something when she sneezed.

"Ugh…"

"Looks like you might be catching a cold." He said, putting his hand to her forehead. She just blushed again. (She REALLY needs to get that checked out!) "Why is your face red? It's not a fever, is it?" Kurama asked worriedly.

"Uh…yeah! I'm sick! (coughcough)" Sakura lied. (Nice save, girl!)

"Let's head back to the house, shall we?" Kurama suggested.

"Achoo! (sniff) Sure…"

So, they went back to the house.

So ends chapter 4. That last part was a bit boring, ne? Well, there'll be more action in the next chapter. I'm not saying it'll be great action, just to warn you. That's right, I'm gonna try my hand at writing a fight scene. Beware. Read & Review! And those nice people that leave me an equally nice review will get a cookie and a plushie of their choice! No, I'm not bribing. Of course not.
