Author's Note: Well, here we are, in chapter four of the third Adventures story, and I'm rather disappointed at the love this fic isn't getting. I know TGB is, too. Please, readers, we just want you to hit the little "review" button and type a few words. Is that so hard? So much to ask?

Chapter Four

Information Overload

HIEI

"Why am I standing in the hallway?" Hiei said to himself. He started down the hallway, then stopped again. "Where's our room at?" He sat down against the wall and thought.

"Well, I know I went this way to get to their room," he said. "And I'm pretty sure that my room is the next hallway over." He sat in silence. Then, "But where is the next hallway?"

A cleaning lady came up to him. "Is something wrong, sir?"

He glared at her and she ran off down the hall.

That settled it. Hiei stood up and walked in the opposite direction.

FAYTHE/ARAGORN/TWINS

"See? That's how you change a diaper," Faythe said after demonstrating.

"Oh. Now what about when he pees in your mouth?" Aragorn asked. His brain felt a little…overloaded. This kind of stuff seemed way TMI.

"That's what mouthwash is for." Faythe smiled and held up a freshly diapered and powdered, clean, Liela. "They shouldn't cry after you change them, unless they're tired or hungry."

"Seems simple enough." Aragorn set about changing Vinnie. He struggled a little pulling the diaper off.

Faythe intervened. "You have to pull the tabs and the diaper comes off." She sighed and took over. "Like this." She successfully removed the diaper and threw it away. "See? It's easy."

Aragorn still did it wrong.

SARA

Meditation had done some good. Sara didn't feel half as angry as she had before and her thoughts were in order.

She stood and stretched before walking again. It was a lovely night for a walk.

Walking was a way for her to escape. She wasn't entirely sure what she was escaping, but that was a minor detail. The truth was, life had been going better than it had for a while. She was still afflicted with Fox Fire, but that, too, was a minor detail. So she had to wear a trench coat and hat in 100+ weather. She didn't care, right? She sighed and sat back down to meditate. Walking wasn't feeling as therapeutic as usual.

An old man came up behind her. "Why are you wearing a coat?"

She opened one eye and thought about how to respond. "Because," she said.

"It is very hot out here."

"I know that."

"You're going to-"

"I am trying to meditate, sir. Go away." She didn't want to do anything rash, but she was rapidly losing that battle. She sighed and repeated her mantra.

TARO/KURAMA

"Hey, Taro?" Kurama asked. They'd been out of the shower and dressed for a while.

"Yeah?"

"Are you hungry?"

Taro thought about it. "Yes. Let's get everyone else so we can go out to eat."

"Good idea." They left to get the others.

Their first stop was Faythe and Aragorn's room. Faythe answered the door when they knocked.

"Sure, we'll come." She looked meaningfully at Aragorn. "The kids need to be changed."

"So?"

After a few minutes, Faythe sighed. "Fine. I'll do it."

She went into the bathroom with the kids.

Taro and Kurama glared at Aragorn, who looked surprised.

"What?"

Kurama shook his head. "Never mind. Where're Hiei and Sara?"

Aragorn shrugged. "Beats me."

Taro raised an eyebrow. "But they're not in their room."

"Well, maybe they're with Jake and Legolas."

"Maybe…"

Faythe came back out, bearing the twins. "Ready to go?"

"Yes."

They left and went down the hall to the elevators. Kurama pushed the button and they waited for the doors to open.

The doors opened to reveal Hiei.

"Hiei! What are you doing?"

"Riding the elevator up and down." He paused and added, as an after thought, "I couldn't find my room."

Taro raised an eyebrow. "Where's Sara?"

Hiei shrugged. "I don't know."

"Well, then," Faythe said, "Let's go find her."
