Both boys seemed to stiffen in surprise as she stared at them blankly. "No normal human should have heard that." shuichi mumbled in shock as grace snapped her head towards him with surprise. "I have really good hearing runs in the family really good hearing but really shity vision. Contacts don't cha know." She said in a Canadian accent while tapping her temples with a sarcastic grin.

Shuichi looked baffled seeing a side to her he hadn't witnessed before. Yusuke just laughed again shaking his head before speak "I see you haven't changed much gotten a little shorter maybe" while measuring her grace herself only being a little taller then Hiei but not by much.

" Neither have you grease head still look like someone kicked the shit out of you before through cha off a cliff" grace replied relaxing ever so slightly in the boy's presence completely forgetting about the boy she was suppose to be obsessed with for the moment.

"So other then your inability to be surprised by drastic shit and your advanced hearing got anymore talents we should know about?" yusuke asked as grace said with a blank face " I can look at female panties and get away with it because I share a locker room with them." the absolute seriousness was radiating off of her and yusuke just nodded in understanding a perverted grin stretched out across his face.

"Let's just lock her away from the world red." Youko's voice startled grace as she snapped her head to shuichi in surprise staring him down for a good minute making hiei and shuichi stare at her with wide eyes as she spoke without thinking "I don't think that's your best idea." all but freezing internally she kept her normal smile on her face when dealing with him

"Did she hear me?" Youko asked hope in his voice as shuichi cleared his throat and spoke weakly "What isn't my best idea?" he asked as yusuke and kuwabara looked confused, grace looked relaxed, youko hopeful, shuichi pained, and Hiei looked on with interest.

"You saving the world and shit I mean you haven't even noticed my following you around half the time are you sure you're capable of saving the world I kinda like it the way it is?" grace asked sighing mentally when she saved herself slightly. Kurama on the other hand felt slightly insulted that she would think that of him.

Youko was silently snickering at the boy deciding not to rope himself in with the human boy. "She finds you weak red why don't you assure her off your strength? Oh that's right you have no romantic interest in our dear grace so what should her opinion matter to you red?" the sarcasm and amusement could be heard with every word youko spoke. Hiei chuckled as grace sighed before shrugging and throwing an arm around yusuke with slight difficulty seeing as how he was way taller than her.

"So grease head can we move this along so I can hurry up and get home shit to do today remember?" Yusuke just shook his head and shrugged of her arm when a set of dark golden eyes trained on him. " I swear one more person fucking touch her, give me a reason to kill every last one of you, just give me one." youko snarled as shuichi and Hiei both silently decided that they were going to make sure that no one else touched grace as to not anger the demon more.

Framing ignorance grace look at yusuke strangely. "Why do I feel like there's something going on I don't know about?" She asked aloud, kuwabara nodded as he spoke. "Yeah guys what's going on here I'm confused?" grace nodded as she moved towards the tallest yu yu member.

"You know you're really tall, I like that wanna grab an ice cream after this and hit up the arcade?" She asked as Youko's dark thoughts of torture took a turn for the worst. Kuwabara blushed and covered his face slightly. "You don't play around do you lady straight to the point." grace nodded but before kuwabara could answer yusuke had already put him into a headlock and dragged him away from her.

"Cock block." She mumbled at yusuke as youko fell silent from his talks of torture. "Did she just say what I think she just said, she was going to sleep with him." the bone chilling growl that followed this sentence made grace decide to move slightly closer to shuichi as to not piss youko of anymore

"Yeah sure I like pissing him off but when you play with a 1000 year old sexually frustrated fox demon you tend to have to know your limit." grace thought visibly taking a step to stand by shuichi when youko said. "That's it I'm done with these Foolish game red place yourself beside her this instant, if you do not then I swear I will find a way to make your life a living hell and that's after I find a way out so I can kidnap the little vixen that continues to hit on every male and female she sees."

"Why you ask well i'd rather not be kidnapped, i like my freedom."

A purr sounded from youko when she shot shuichi a dark smile. "Good she has chosen to walk beside us. Start up a conversation red." youko purred at first before continuing on darkly voice full of threat. However before shuichi could grace had already began. "How's Shiori doing?" even though it was meant as an icebreaker she was genuinely curious how the woman was doing. Shuichi looked genuinely surprised as they neared the castle.

"The doctors have found that her cancer has completely destroyed itself." grace frowned slightly before sighing. "I'm glad she's ok I've meant to visit her." shuichi watched her from the corner of his eye. "Then why haven't you? She said you haven't visited since our run in."

grace chuckled slightly. "It's complicated." Shuichi looked at her strangely not expecting her attitude change. If she was being honest she really didn't want to change her attitude but when youko finds out he could come out in the dark tournament like she said she liked her freedom.

"Sooo bullet were where you going dressed like that." yusuke asked suddenly making grace look down at her paint covered tank top and short shorts. "I was repainting my living room, on my way to the hardware store to get more paint i ran into a wall that appeared out of nowhere." she explained already having come up with her cover story earlier the blank way she said it making them all look at her strangely. "Well that didn't sound robotic at all." yusuke said with with a slight chuckle.

Grace shrugged before her eyes landed on the castle they were about to walk into "It looks creepier in real life." "I feel for whoever has to clean this." Came her blunt comment as she just stared at the entrance. Everyone in the gang stopped and stared at her before shaking their heads. Grace silently contemplated what she was going to do about the roof coming down on them.

Coming up with an idea she hung back a wase as the others continued down the path. Stopping just before the roof she watched the bat thing fly over them say a few things then pull the switch. When the roof began to fall she watched in fascination as every one of the yu yu gang began yelling at each other. "Where did grace go?" Youko asked suddenly making shuichi snap his eyes to the girl. The gang fell silent as they stared at her.

"The hell bullet, why are you just standing there go pull the switch." Yusuke screamed at her as grace sighed looking at the bat thing reluctantly who was currently glaring at her. "Do i have too that thing's staring at me?" Yusuke looked at her incredulously as she sighed and walked towards the switch poking shuichi in his side on her way by making him twitch.

"So he's ticklish." She mumbled on her way by, the gang struggling to keep the wall up. Pulling at a small notepad from her back pocket she put this down before placing it back in her pocket. "Well seems she has a book dedicated to us red." Youko said releasing a sigh of contentment that made shuichi wonder if the demon was just as crazy as their stalker.

"Well who do we have here a human girl? Come now girl you don't have to pull the switch why should you help them anyway? What have they ever done for you? I'm sure my boss will happily reward you for allowing them to die." Stopping in front of the switch grace just stared at the demon for a minute contemplating what he said silently. "Come on bullet you're not really going to listen to him are you?" Yusuke snarled as Hiei glared at her and Kuwabara looked at her pleadingly.

"Now's the perfect opportunity to let them all die then see how things go from there." finally her eyes landed on shuichi who was just staring at her silently youko surprisingly also said nothing but she knew he was watching her intently as well.
