I'm copying MANY authors, but I so wanna do this. Don't hurt me. . . (Just talking 'bout the beginning part, not the story)

CherryBlossoms21 (CB) - I'm thinking that along with Action/Adventure/and Romance that I want some Humor in this too!

Kurama- Well, after reading your fic, The Tape of Humiliation, I wonder why. . .

CB- Are you being sarcastic?

Kurama- Why did you do that me!

CB- Do what? puts on an innocent look

Kurama- Beenanatchie. . .

CB- Oh crap! He only says my full nickname when he's mad!

Kurama leaps and starts chasing after me (CB).

CB- Yusuke! Disclaimer please!

Yusuke- 'Kay, 'kay! Cherryblossoms21 does not own Yu Yu Hakusho or any anime at all. Stupid Koenma. . .I don't even get paid for anything.

Hiei- Ha. Ha.

CB- Enjoy my fic! AHHH! HIEI HELP MEEEE!

Mari- CherryBlossoms21 would first like to thank some of the reviewers from chapter five because she didn't get to!

REVIEWERS FROM CHAPTER FIVE

hieis girl- I'm a huge fan of Hiei too! He's so kawaii. . . Thanks for reviewing!

Dragon of the Crimson Flame- Yeah, Allyah is a pretty name, but I didn't think of it, or create her, unfortunately. Luna89, a reviewer from before, won a contest and she made a character that would be in the story and Allyah's hers! Nope, I shall NOT allow Kuwabara to cheat on anyone. I think him and Yukina are cute together. - And, I do believe that Allyah will end up with someone. I have a character in mind, but I might add some new characters if I feel like it. Anyway, thanks for reviewing!

Trickstersthiefgirl- I know what you mean! Nobody at my school (beside the librarian) knows who Tamora Pierce is! My favorite series shall forever be The Protector of the Small. - I love it! Thank you very much for the compliment! I don't know if I deserve it!

Hiei- Hn. Now Natchie would like to thank the reviewers for chapter six.

Chapter Seven- At the Temple

Yusuke pouted. "I wanted to defeat him!"

"You were exhausted and could barely stand," said Kurama.

The group –including Allyah- was back at Genkai's temple. Kurama had just explained to Genkai and Yukina what happened while the ice maiden healed Allyah, Yusuke, and even Hiei's wounds.

Yusuke frowned at Kurama's response. "And your point is?"

Everyone sighed and sweat dropped at Yusuke antics. 'Way too stubborn. . .'

"Anyway! Allyah, would you like to tell us more about yourself?" asked Mari.

"Huh? Oh, of course!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing, interested in what she was going to say. "Well, I'm a wolf demon, but not like common ones. For example,"

Allyah lifted her hand toward an open window near them. They watched as a strong gust of wind came to her hand and formed a ball. She bounced it from palm to palm, smiling at the amazed faces of some of her new friends.

"How cool!" said Mari.

"So can you control only the wind? Or is there more elements?" asked Kurama.

Allyah smiled brightly and replied, "All of them!"

"Hey, if you're a wolf demon do you have ears?" asked Kuwabara.

"Ears? Oh yes, I do. I just usually have them invisible." And with a snap of her fingers, bluish-silver ears appeared on top of her head. Kuwabara squealed like a girl and made a jump for them, but Allyah just ducked and watched as he hit a wall.

"Hey old hag! Why was Mari stronger than me? I've been fighting and training far long then her and yet-

"Yes, Mari has only been training with me for a month," interrupted "the old hag" known as Genkai, "though she's already almost as strong as you, Yusuke. That demon, Anku, was probably draining some of your energy with every hit he blocked. Did you feel a strain dimwit?"

"Yeah, I did!" He sighed deeply. "That's a relief!"

Allyah went next to Mari and whispered, "I think his pride got hurt because a girl beat the demon and the demon beat him." Mari and Allyah looked at Yusuke and asked him, "Right?" He nodded happily and they both burst with laughter.

"What's the joke?" asked Kuwabara, now recovered from hitting the wall, and Yusuke.

Kurama smiled and Genkai's eyes shown her amusement. Hiei smirked a little, not as much as he would have because he had been thinking along the same lines as Yusuke and for a couple hours, he thought that he had grown weaker somehow. Yukina, though as innocent as most thought, had good hearing and pretended to cough to hide her tiny smile.

"I don't get it!"

"As usual."

"Shut it shorty!"

"Make me buffoon."

"Why I outta-

"SHUT UP!"

"Yusuke has a way to make peace, don't you agree ladies?" said Kurama to the girls. Though it was amusing to watch Kuwabara and Hiei bicker, it did get annoying.

What's the deal with my brain? Why am I so obviously insane? In a perfect situation, I let love down the drain. There's the pitch, slow and straight. All I have to do is swing and I'm a hero. Now I'm a zero.

"Where's that sound coming from?" asked Yusuke.

An "oops" was heard and Mari searched frantically through her pockets before pulling out a black compact. The words grew louder and they realized it was a song.

"Your makeup sings music?" asked Kuwabara.

"No silly! It's a communicator. I just hated the buzzing noise, so I programmed a song to play when someone's calling," replied Mari.

"Hey! Why's mine pink, and yours black!" exclaimed Yusuke, but before he could argue anymore, Allyah told him to shut up so Mari could talk to Botan, who had appeared on the tiny screen.

"Hello Mari! Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah, Botan, everything's alright. Yukina was nice enough to heal everyone with damage."

"That's good! Mari, can I speak to Allyah?"

"Sure."

Mari handed Allyah the compact and then started to "talk" to Yusuke about the communicator color.

"Hi Botan."

"ALLYAH! I'm so glad you're alright! You had us all worried."

"Sorry, Botan. I truly didn't mean to. . ."

"It's okay now! As long as you're okay! But with other news, Koenma wants you to stay with Genkai, they've already talked it over he says."

"They have?"

"Yes, your room is to the right of Yukina's," said Genkai.

"Thank you!"

"Your welcome."

"Well, I'll talk to you later Allyah!"

"Of course! Bye Botan!"

She closed the black compact and handed it back to Mari, who was still arguing with Yusuke about his pink one and her black one.

"But I'm a guy! Pink's a girly color!"

"Well, I'm a girl, but I asked for a black one, and you didn't, so ha!"

"But Botan just handed me this and then pushed me into a portal!"

"Did you ask for a different color the next time you saw her?"

"Err, no-

"HA! If you had only asked, you wouldn't have a pink one, but now it's yours, permanently."

"Damnit!"

Mari stuck her tongue out in a childish manner. They all smiled at their antics, but then Yukina yawned. "I think we should all get some sleep. We've had a tiring day," voiced Kurama.

"You're right. You dimwits can stay the night, if you want. It's already getting late."

They all readily agreed, accept Kurama, whose exact words were, "I'm afraid I must decline. I told mother I'd be home tonight because we're going out. I deeply apologize, but I must run home now. Good evening."

So, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei stayed the night. Though, Hiei really stayed in a tree and the two idiots didn't go to sleep until after three in the morning, where they were found in the living room by Yukina, Allyah, and Mari. When the three girls stumbled upon that room, eyes bulged at the site. Candy wrappers, chip bags, empty containers, and other junk lay littered across the room. They could hardly see much of the furniture, though they clearly saw the two trouble makers drooling all over the carpet in front of the TV, still holding their video game controllers.

"Eh. . ." was the only response Yukina and Allyah could think of. But Mari, on the other hand, was not as non-responsive. She was a sweet, kind girl, like Yukina. And she could be calm and funny, like Allyah. But she also could get angry when lazy bums, like Yusuke and Kuwabara, trashed a room that wasn't even theirs and expected to not do anything. Yukina had told her that this had happened before, and that it took about an hour by her self to clean up the mess that they had created. She loved their company dearly, but dreaded when they stayed over sometimes.

Mari took a deep breath. She knew she had to be calm. She had to be reasonable. They might apologize. They might clean it up. They might- oh, what the hell. She knew better.

"YUSUKE URAMESHI! KAZUMA KUWABARA! WAKE UP NOW!"

Outside, birds flew off, scared at the sudden noise. Good thing that the temple was in the middle of a forest with no one near-by because anyone within a five mile radius would have heard an angry girl yelling at two idiots.

Yusuke and Kuwabara leaped into the air. Thinking that they was danger in the temple, they get into battle mode, but what they saw instead was an angry Mari glaring at them. They both silently wished there had been a demon instead. . .

"You both better start cleaning this mess right now!"

"Err, what mess?"

"YUSUKE URAMESHI! DON'T TRY TO ACT INNOCENT! If you don't have this mess cleaned up, you won't ever get any meals from here again."

"WHAT!" they screamed in horror. They rushed to throw stuff in garbage cans and dusters.

Mari smiled happily and walked outside since Yukina and Allyah insisted that they would cook breakfast. She walked up to the steps leading down to the front gate and sat on the very first step.

Hiei's Point of View

'YUSUKE! KUWABARA!'

'Damnit. Her thoughts are too loud. What is she doing being angry in the morning?'

'Erg! Guys can be so lazy and these two must be the worst! Do they honestly think that they can make Yukina clean up their mess AGAIN! I DON'T THINK SO! Mari, take a deep breath. They might act differently this time, you never know. . . Oh, what the hell!'

"YUSUKE URAMESHI! KAZUMA KUWABARA! WAKE UP NOW!"

'Stupid ningens.'

Ten minutes later, Hiei saw Mari come out of the temple. Her thoughts overwhelmed his head, until he could no longer even hear his own thoughts.
