He stole my heart, like he stole my life

A/N: Thanks everyone for reviewing it made me so happy n.n! Anyways I would just like to say that I'm going to try to get all the characters back in to their normal spirits in this chapter. Hopefully that works! Oh snap, today's 666… Any who please review so I know it's good or not and so I can update.

I yawned as I slowly opened my eyes three days after I had been abducted. At first I couldn't place where I was then I once again remembered that I'm in, of all places, AUSTRALIA, I just can't believe I'm here. Never in my life had I ever wanted to come to this country. But somehow I'm here.

And a bit freaked that I might run into Hiei sometime soon. He scares me like none other and I don't know what to do about him. Most of the others here I'm strangely not worried about. Although today I one, plan on finding out more about Yukina, and two, need to check out this bar.

Groggily I rolled back the covers and sat up. Immediately I threw them back over my head screaming bloody murder. Hiei stood in my door way glaring at me. How long had he been standing there!

"Get up woman," Hiei barked and I peeked over the edge of the green blanket. "It's time for you to get some work done. So if you don't get out of that bed…" Quickly I scampered out from under the covers.

"I'm up, I'm up!" My eyes were a little wider than normal.

"Humph," Hiei walked out of the room and I hastily pulled on my jeans and a pink tank that Keiko had lent me. After pulling my hair into a high pony tail I skedaddled out to the living room.

"Good morning," a cheerful Keiko sounded from the kitchen. Yusuke sat half asleep on the couch as Kuwabara lay on the floor looking just as bad. Kurama was probably helping Keiko in the kitchen and Hiei sat at the window while Yukina was doubtlessly resting in her room, too weak to stand. Chuu, Touya, and Jin were most likely already at the bar. Dang did that thing opened early.

"Morning," I called back.

"Excited to be bartending in a strange place Botan?" Kuwabara asked rolling onto his stomach. I smiled slightly thinking of the places I could be right now. This was so much better then being at my former boss's sons' girlfriends' parents anniversary party. Whoever they turned out to be.

"I might admit I'm a bit excited," I told him and went to sit next to Yusuke on the couch.

"I wouldn't sit down Botan," Kurama said from the kitchen as if he saw me…did they have physic powers or something? That was just interesting enough… "We need to leave to go meet Chuu at 'Manger,' his bar."

"Alright I'm still standing," I notified him and turned just in time to see Kurama walk around the corner with Yukina at his side. Her face was white with exhaustion from walking from the kitchen just around the corner to the couch. Yusuke hurriedly stood up next to me for Yukina to sit.

"Oh, please don't stand up on my account," Yukina tried her best to smile and my eyes watered a bit for the poor girl. It took so much just to do that small task.

"Lay down Yukina, please," Hiei was by her side in a heart beat helping his twin. She took a shaky breath leaning backwards slowly.

"Thank you so much Hiei," Yukina grasped his hand as tight as she could at the moment. Her hands looked so fragile that I could even break them with ease. And her face was so pale against the blue satin of the couch. It hurt to look at her sick like this.

Suddenly Yukina jerked up and started coughing. Her eye's shut tightly as Kuwabara rubbed her back softly. Keiko handed her a tissue and she coughed for about two minutes into that. When she slowly lay back down I could tell she had coughed up a bunch of blood.

There has to be something I can do to help her. Maybe someway I can earn money to help. No way can I just sit here and watch as a poor woman who's one of the sweetest creatures I've ever met, even if I haven't spent too much time with her. Either way, she doesn't deserve this in the least.

"Are you ready Botan?" Kurama asked taking my hand and leading me out to the car to go to 'Manger.' It was silent on the way there and as we entered the bar some of my energy came back to me.

XXXXXXXXX That Night XXXXXXXXX

The place was hoppin'! Oh my gosh 'Á La Boum' was never this packed and never this much fun. Quickly I poured a man his drink and pushed it toward him and spun the bottle to be put away.

"Hey shela!" Chuu wobbled over behind the bar and put an arm around my shoulder.

"Why hello there!" I smiled brightly at him. In no way should I be having this much fun after being kidnapped.

"Some bugger over there was askin about you," Chuu whispered in my ear and I laughed. His accent was so great! "Why don't you go say hello? I'll cover for ya."

"Oh, I couldn't," I insisted on staying. "I don't think it would be right if I had a drink with some one."

"I never said ya had to drink with the loony, just talk with 'im," Chuu smiled and picked up a wine bottle, popping the cork and taking a big swig. "Anyways he's an ol' buddy. Might be a bit girly but you'll be fine. Shishi's a wimp."

"Alright," I looked back over my shoulder before hopping out from behind the bar and over to wear he pointed. A purple haired man sat at a table in the back. "Are you Shishi?"

"Yes," he told me and I sat across from him in the booth. "Umm, you wanted to see me…?"

"I couldn't help it," he gave a cocky smile and I wasn't sure if I like him. At this moment I was leaning toward a no. "You're just so beautiful and I was just attracted to your looks."

"Umm thank you very much," I blushed a little bit, not too many people have called me beautiful. Sure, I've been called pretty but not beautiful.

"Would you care for a drink?" he asked kindly. I shook my head and his eye twitched a little. "Or would you like to dance?" Once again I shook my head and his eye twitched a bit more noticeably. "Alright what about we go somewhere a bit nicer?"

"I actually should be getting back to work," I stood up and he growled. My eyes widened and hurried toward the bar where Yusuke was smirking with Chuu. "That was a bit interesting."

"I bet," Yusuke said and ordered a drink (I don't think I should name of alcohol beverages incase the little people are reading this so yeah). Effortlessly I threw bottles around and mixed his cocktail. "Isn't it about time you got off work? It's like around ten and you've been messin around behind there since before eleven this morning. v.v"

"Yeah, shela, you should go party," Chuu said pushing me out of the bar.

"But I just got back in here." I rather enjoyed being behind the bar.

"No buts," Jin appeared next to me, making me scream a bit and jumping away. "Aye got ya back down in de bar."

"If you're positive," I told them and all three boys nodded in agreement and Yusuke lead me away.

A/N: Okay that was like MAJORLY short but next chapter will be long I totally swear. Plus nothing really happened, but next time they go shopping and then what's on the news! Oh O.O no! This can't be too good! Just wait and see!
