FANG: on with the story!

The night worn on, a sleeping figure shifting slightly in her sleep. The moon's ray spilled into her room, covering the floor in a majestic light and providing some form of light to the dark. The small temple behind her toy chest from preying eyes was still, only sounds of deep sleep came from it.

Toshi sighed, one of her eyes slowly opening. A desert searched the room, resting on still figures and swaying shadows. She sat up, pushing the sheets aside, and hung her legs over the side. For a while she was like that, trying to get her brain to work. After a few minutes she got up and shuffled her feet on the wooden floor towards the bathroom. She closed the door behind her.

After a few minutes the sound of flushed water was heard as a sleepy girl made her way back to bed. She rubbed her eyes, feeling like sleeping on the floor right then and there. Luckily, she made it safely to bed and went under the comfy covers. Soon sleep found its way to her again, providing a restful slumber.

The house was quiet, a certain boy resting from the days events. The only silent sound was the movement of shuffling feet across the wooden floor. A mother checked on her eldest child, slowly opening the door as to not make sound. She smiled to herself as she saw him sleeping. It's amazing how fast they grow, from a small lump in the bed to covering all of it. She glided in next to him and leaned forward delivering a loving kiss on his forehead. The boy stirred, but in the end did not wake.

'How fast they grow,' she thought. 'From a child in your arms to an adult who can stand up for themselves.' She left his room, closing the door behind her. Next, it was time to check her youngest.

The door was unlocked; she made her presence unknown as she snuck in. Another loving smile graced her face as she saw her only daughter sleeping soundly bundle up in blankets. That was always like her, to take all of the sheets and huddle in it like a nest. Just like a mouse. And like a mouse, she was quiet, never wanting to be noticed, always keeping to herself. A kind, soft creature, with incredible endurance when they don't even notice it. Yet, like a mouse, she was fragile, easy to hurt. Her daughter was still small, hiding in her burrow. But lately, she was coming out.

The mother came in and knelt down next to her daughter on the side of the bed, her knees folded underneath her as she watched her daughters beautiful face. Her heart was filled with nothing but love for her children. She worked hard to make sure they had exactly what they needed, sometimes sacrificing too much. But they never wanted anything more than her.

"I'm so proud of you Toshi," her mother whispered. "You made me so proud. Being brave and taking the goal, I almost didn't recognize you…"

She trailed off sighing softly. Did she know how much she reminded her of when she was young. A shy girl who one day was brought from her burrow by a brave mouse. He was lovely and chose her, the quiet one. How her mother wished Toshi could fall in love like her one day and find herself. Someone who will watch, protect and love her. Like her husband did to her. Did they know that they reminded her of him?

Did they know?

She sighed again. "I try so hard Toshi, I really do, so hard to keep both of you safe." A slim finger brushed a lock from her daughter's face. "Do you know how hard I try Toshi? Do you know how much I love you both? Do you know how proud I am to call you my child?"

A small kiss was planted on her child's' forehead. "Very," she whispered before getting up and pulling the covers, tucking it under her daughters chin. With one last look, she left the room, closing the door behind her and heading downstairs to make herself a cup of tea before going to work.

It was three in the morning.

Toshi sat up in bed stretching out the rest of her sleep. She had a good rest, and, as she looked at clock next to her that blinked seven, there was plenty of time to take a shower and cook breakfast. Oh, that's right; her little friends must be hungry. But guessing from their character, Yusuke and Kuwabara would be asleep and Kurama and Hiei would probably be awake any minute now. So, that gave her enough time to batheand get dressed for school.

Getting out of bed, she slipped on her slippers and silently as she could gathered a few clothes and entered the bathroom, locking the door behind her. It wasn't that she didn't trust them; it was, well, locking herself in things made her feel more secure. Knowing that nothing can get in relaxed her.

Disposing of her dirty clothes in a heap on the floor she slipped into the shower and turned on the hot water. Droplets cascade down her body as she took the towel and washed. What should she make for breakfast? Maybe some pancakes. But wait, how would they eat without utensils in the sticky syrup? She pondered on this as she rinsed off. How about some fruit, yes, she would cut the fruit into itty bitty pieces and serve it with some sausages, equally cut small.

After stepping out of the shower and drying off, Toshi placed on her undergarments and brushed her teeth. Her hair swishing lightly next to her. She thought abut yesterday, and the thought of Hiei 'apologizing' after melting the trophy crossed her mind. She sighed sadly. Even though he apologized, there was still no way she could explain what happened to the trophy. What was she going to tell the team? Sighing again she quickly finished up and placed on her clothes, which was a hipster held up with a black buckle and a shirt with butterfly designs on them.

With one quick brush through her hair she placed it in a plait, raising it up in a bun. Again, she did this to show respect to her grandmother who always had her hair in a plat, bun or tucked underneath something. Toshi was really close to her until she died a peaceful sleep during when she was eleven. The day of her grandmother's funeral was still fresh in her mind. The rows of black clothing, a cry of sadness in the air, the happy look on her grandmother's face portrayed in the open coffin. The look on her face in that sad place, was what burned in her memory. So peaceful, how it delivered a message to her. It said, 'See? It's not so bad. I might be dead, but at least I'm in a better place. There's always a happy ending if you plan it.'

And that's what she remembered.

Now that she was clean and dressed, Toshi entered her room, dumping her dirty clothes in the hamper. The room was still silent showing that her guests were still asleep. They must be very tired from yesterday. Toshi was still a little exhausted, but it was her turn to cook breakfast this morning. Leaving the room and double checking to make sure her brother was asleep so he wouldn't go into her room and find out her secret, Toshi slipped downstairs like a sneaky mouse.

The atmosphere was dark, the night resting peacefully in its quarters. Flipping on the kitchen light, Toshi made her way over to the cupboard where she took out her pink apron and tied it on. Then, taking out her ingredients, she started to make breakfast. As she worked over the stove Toshi hummed. Her voice was soft, like a caring mothers. Her words were spoken with kindness and her speech did not falter. It never did when she sang. She never knew why, it just did.

"When I woke up, the sun shinned

When I got up, you were in my mind.

Till the end of the day.

The birds are humming,

My heart is drumming

When you are near.

My soul will fly, up to the sky

Where I would watch you, and sigh

'My lo-ve I am here.' "

Her voice carried through the house, disturbing its sleeping occupants. Trey stirred in his sleep, and with a groan sat up in bed, his feet dangling over the sides, his hair in a royal mess.

"She's singing again," he mumbled getting up from bed and making his way slowly to the bathroom. "The same thing every time she cooks."

This was true. When it was her time to cook, Toshi would always sing, kind of like a wake up call for him. She didn't mean to do it; it was just a subconscious act. He didn't mind, not all. In fact, when she sang it reminded him of his father and how he always sang whenever he cooked. That's must have been where she got it from. For when she was little she would always watch him cook. The master chef. Well, he was up now.

The still temple was soon moving with sleepy occupants. It seemed that Toshi's singing was their wake up call also.

Down in the kitchen Toshi placed the scrambled eggs and bacon on separate plates, steam rising from the hot meal. She then started on the pancakes, adding raspberries and blueberries into the mixture before pouring small amounts onto the stove. Now, usually she didn't mix up food, but this morning she decided to try it out. The idea just popped into her head, and she thought why not give it a try? What was so bad with trying something new? Although her brother would probably make noise, she wanted to try it out. In fact, he always judged her cooking so it wouldn't make no difference.

Speaking of which, the boy himself soon appeared rubbing the remainder of sleep from his eyes. He was fully dressed, in a pair of knee torn jeans and a big dark blue t-shirt with the words 'Killer' in red on the back and front. He plopped down into one of the chairs, yawning a stifled good morning.

"Did…you…sleep well?" Toshi asked, creating another plate of steaming pancakes. Then she separated them into two plates, leaving two big ones left over, and placed them on the table with the other food.

"I slept okay," he replied looking at the scramble eggs. "You didn't make them like last time, right?"

Toshi looked at him.

"You know, cook one batch and then half way through add a new egg to the half cooked ones," Trey explained, remembering the time she did that. He was sick for a whole two days. "I'm not eating that if it's not editable."

"It is!" she exclaimed. He raised an eyebrow. Then, carefully, slowly as if it might be poisoned for all he knew, he picked up a piece with his fork and nibbled at it.
He gasped. "Oh…my…god. The eggs are cooked….and all the way too!"

Toshi groaned offended. Her brother was so mean sometimes.

"What's with the mixture?" Trey asked after taking a bite out of the pancakes. He was surprised to find two ingredients. Usually his sister only did one or none at all. He never knew her for something like this. Huh.

"Do you…like…it?" Toshi asked, blushing from being caught. "I…"

"It's okay," he said taking another bite.

Toshi looked at him surprised, and then smiled brightly at him. Her brother shifted in his seat. "But the eggs are still soggy," he added, a smirk on his features.

That burst her happy bubble.

After the two finished eating, Toshi waited for her bother to go upstairs into his room before taking the food she set aside upstairs to her room. The guys had to be up by now and hungry. Carefully she did that task and locked the door behind her. She wondered if the guys would be able to eat something this big. Then again, they had bigger stomachs. She smiled at that.

"Toshi!"

She looked down to see Kuwabara smiling goofily at her from on the bed. "Good…morning."

The fool flushed lightly. "Morning Toshi! Wow, you look extra pretty today."

The girl blushed as Kuwabara abruptly fell forward onto the bed from being punched in the back of his head. Yusuke lowered his fist and glared down at the boy. "Idiot."

"Hey! What was that for Urameshi!" demanded Kuwabara getting up. "I was just saying how pretty Toshi looked!"

Yusuke ignored him. He then directed his attention to the girl in front of him. He couldn't help as his gaze wandered up and down. She really did look hot. When he realized what he was thinking, he shook his head roughly. What was wrong with him?

Toshi placed the food on the counter since she didn't want crumbs on her bed. She helped the two up and they dove in. Toshi sat on the mattress, ankles crossed. A thought slowly drifted across her, what were they going to do today when she went to school? She couldn't leave them by themselves in her room! That would be like caging an animal. Maybe, she could leave the window open...but what if they fell? Well, there was the door…but what about the stairs? The more Toshi thought on it the paler she became. Every thought came to an end with them getting hurt. They were just so small and the world so big.

"Hey, Toshi, are you okay?" Kuwabara asked, his mouth full of pancakes. The girl snapped to and shook her head lightly. "Um…yes…I'm fine."

"Maybe we should leave some food for Kurama and Hiei," Yusuke suddenly suggested out loud. He wondered if they would be mad if they didn't.

"Yes, maybe you should," came the cool reply of Kurama as he walked towards them, a calm look about him. He looked slightly disturbed when he watched Kuwabara shove down large amounts of pancakes down his throat. If the boy didn't stop soon he could choke. Too late.

"Idiot," Yusuke said as he watched Kuwabara pound a fist on his chest to help the food go down. "Smart as an ass."

Kurama said good morning to Toshi, who blushed from his smile, and quietly began to eat. Toshi looked about her. "Where's…Hiei?" she asked, curious.

"He's probably out reeking havoc on an un-expecting world," Kuwabara said dumbly, causing the girl to gasp in shook and cover her mouth. Yusuke delivered a punch that made the poor boy pass out. "Shut it."

Toshi whimpered slightly, unsure on how to think on it. He could be out for a walk, or maybe up a tree…what happened if a squirrel got him? All the previous possibilities of them getting hurt went through her mind again. She was now about to faint when Hiei appeared on the scene sheathing his sword. Relief swept through her, but Toshi paled slightly upon seeing his weapon, imagination soaring.

"Hey Hiei, where were you?" Yusuke asked the fire demon. Hiei looked at him calmly and replied, "I went out to kill something." Blood dripped from his hands.

Toshi couldn't take it anymore, and with a small cry she fainted.

"You just had to speak the truth, didn't you?" Kurama asked, slightly upset Hiei spoke out just like that without even considering who was around him. "Please think before you speak Hiei."

"Hn," Hiei replied flicking his hand free of the red substance. He turned to the unconscious girl and scoffed. "Baka onna." Humans were so weak and feeble; how they survive he'll never understand.

While Yusuke was busy trying to revive the fallen girl, Hiei was consulting with Kurama about why he had blood on his hands in the first place, since it's not something you see to the start of your morning. He explained how he felt this weird power and went to go and investigate. When he got there, something was wrong. Like for the fact all the mice there had glowing red eyes and upon seeing him attacked. He killed them all, but couldn't find the source of why they were acting weird; possessed. After that he came back here. That was the reason why he was late.

Kurama thought on what Hiei told him. Could it be possible that the enemy even had control over animals? Calculating on the matter Kurama asked, "Hiei, where exactly did this occur?"

The fire demon crossed his arms and closed his eyes. "It was a block from here."

"You traveled that far?" Kurama asked amazed at how truly fast his friend could move even in his current form.

"Hn, I had to get away from that," Hiei growled, jerking his head towards the two boys who were fighting over something foolish. Somewhere along the way when Hiei was explaining Kuwabara had regained consciousness, much to a certain fire demon's disappointment, and when Yusuke didn't answer when he asked what happened to Toshi the boy got angry and made an attempt to hit the boy.

Key word: attempt.

Hiei scowled annoyed. "Bakas."

Yusuke punched Kuwabara down and kicked him. "I was trying to revive her, but you just had to open your big stupid mouth." Again he kicked the poor unconscious boy. Yusuke thought how someone could be so stupid. But then again, this was Kuwabara.

Stupidity had no bounds for him.

A small sound caught everyone's attention and they watched as Toshi came to and looked around in a daze. When her eyes landed on Hiei she let out a startled yelp, stumbling backwards and falling off the side of the bed.

"Ow…" she whined, rubbing her sore head. Hitting that on the floor was no picnic for her.

"Toshi!" Kuwabara cried rushing to the girl's aid. He stopped at the edge of the bed, looking over at her giant form. "Are you alright?"

The girl gave a weak 'thumbs up' and the boy let out a sigh of relief. "She's fine," he told the others.

"So, Hiei, what else happened besides going on a killing spree?" Yusuke asked the fire demon. "Cause you missed a nice breakfast."

"Hn. Detective, there are some things going on here that even the fool can sense," Hiei told him, eyes narrowed. He hated to admit it, but he could tell things were going to change. He looked at the recovering girl who seated herself on the bed, Kuwabara placed on her knee. And with that change, this girl was going along with it; nothing they could do could prevent it. With a sudden realization that he actually…cared…about what happened to her, what happened to this baka onna, made his skin crawl.

Yusuke took note to the tone in his voice and nodded his head. "So, what should we do about it?"

The others became silent.

Kurama placed a hand under his chin in thought. "It's obvious that the enemy already knows we're here, so any surprise attacks from us won't be very effective." He paused and frowned. "This does not favor us, not in the least."

"Yeah, I mean, he even knows who's Toshi!" exclaimed Kuwabara pointing to the girl behind him. "And attacked her!"

"Let's not forget, he probably has one of his minions out and about sneaking around for him," Hiei said, adding to the conversation.

"And we aren't exactly big twenty-four seven," Yusuke also concluded. He folded his arms. He wasn't too pleased with the spell Botan gave them, it really didn't help. They only had a certain time with it and the possibilities of shrinking in the middle of a battle were undoubtedly high. Plus…

Toshi looked at the small group in front of her. They were so small and had such a big enemy. Wasn't it just her luck to be caught up in this? She looked to her side at the cabinet that started this whole thing in the first place. Surely it just wasn't luck that led her to this, that brought the people who she collected to life. Maybe, it was just coincidence. She let out a small sigh, feeling worthless at the moment as the others talked amongst themselves on what to actually do. If only they were big, then maybe they wouldn't feel so…small. Well, besides Hiei, he was small to begin with.

So what could she do?

"Hey, Toshi!" the girl snapped out of her daze and looked at Yusuke who called her.

"Yes?" she asked him.

"That San person, he goes to your school right?" he asked her.

Toshi nodded.

"Bet you he's the guy," Yusuke said to the others. They nodded their head in agreement. Toshi tipped her head to the side, lost. "Huh…?"

"We think he's the one who's the leak," Kurama explained to her calmly. She was so simple.

Kuwabara folded his arms and looked to the side. "I could beat that guy up any day! Just let him touch one hair on Toshi! I never liked him in the first place!" his declaration made the girl blush. He was sweet.

"Yeah well, he could probably defeat you in less then a second. Have you forgotten, you scream 'Kick me'." Toshi giggled slightly as Kuwabara's face became red.

"HEY, TOSHI! GET READY TO LEAVE!" her brother shouted from downstairs.

"Okay…" Toshi replied and set a disappointed Kuwabara down on the bed and got up. She took her school bag and started to pack the things she would need for school. Being a tenth grader wasn't easy for someone like Toshi. It was filled with girls prettier and more popular than her and where power was the only thing to survive the harsh climate called school. But somehow, Toshi made it through every day with a smile.

Yusuke watched her back as she placed a huge textbook in her bag. It occurred to him from just watching the game the other day that Toshi had it tough in school and that they were just adding to her burdens by just bringing her all into this. But not once did she complain. She just opened up her arms to them and gave nothing but good hospitality. And despite her shyness, she treated them like normal people.

She accepted them.

"HURRY UP TOSHI!" came her brother's inpatient voice. Toshi picked up the pace a little and hurried to her closet where she searched for something.

Kurama looked at the girl, then at how Yusuke was watching her. He smiled to himself and got the detective's attention. "So, Yusuke, tell me, have you decided on who to send with Toshi to school?"

Yusuke looked at him lost. "What?"

"Don't tell me you haven't thought about it!" Kurama said, pretending surprise and shock. He waved a finger at the boy. "Yusuke, it's initially unsafe for Toshi to go to school by herself especially if the enemy will be there. He might attack her any chance he gets and we will be here…" he watched as the look on Yusuke's face changed, "not being able to protect her."

"WHAT!" Yusuke shouted as what Kurama said sunk in. He turned his head to Toshi. "Why didn't you tell me!"

"Ha! Even I knew Urameshi!" taunted Kuwabara. "I guess you don't really care about Toshi after all."

Kurama shook his head as Yusuke punched the poor boy. Really, Yusuke needed to learn how to control his emotions especially in the heart section.

Toshi successfully found what she was looking for and placed it carefully in her bag. She then turned to the melted clump on her beerier. Sighing she thought on how to explain that to her coach. What could she say? That a short fire demon melted it to what it is now by using his most powerful attack? She shuddered at the thought of it. Nope, it wouldn't work. There's no way she would believe that!

"I said I'm going and that's that!" Kuwabara cried from the bed. Toshi turned her head around to see Yusuke and Kuwabara engaged in another fight. This time she didn't know what it was about. Slowly she got up, went over and separated the two using her giant advantages.

"Um…please…don't…fight," she begged them, placing each at a reasonable distance from each other. The last thing she wanted was her friend's to fight one another especially when they already had an enemy to fight. Even though she never had any real friends up until now, she knew that they weren't supposed to act like this all the time…at least, she thought. It surprised her slightly that she even called, or thought, of them as friends. Yusuke was the first to declare her as one…

The two boys mumbled curses to each other, but somewhere in there amongst the bad language they said sorry. Toshi sighed relieved and decided to dare asking why they were fighting in the first place.

"Well, you see they we were deciding who should go with you to school," Kurama explained to her, smiling. Toshi blushed embarrassed; the thought of someone fighting over her was too much. She looked down flustered, tapping her second fingers together. The idea was still sinking in.

And to go to school with her, no doubt.

"I don't see why I can't go with her!" mumbled Kuwabara tapping his foot impatiently.

"That's because we want her to live, not die," Yusuke said loud enough for Kuwabara to hear.

"I'll kill you!"

Hiei rolled his eyes as the two went at it again. "Bakas. Why don't you just play that stupid ningen game with the rock, paper and scissors to decide who goes?"

"You mean Jaken?" Kurama said providing the name of the game. Hiei made his famous comment.

"You fools can decide amongst yourselves who gets to go," Hiei told them in a dull voice, walking away from the group. "I rather die then spend a day along with that baka onna."

Hiei's words hurt Toshi. What did she do to deserve his hatred for her? The words 'being born' came into her head and didn't make her feel any better.

"Alright!" agreed Kuwabara getting pumped up as he moved towards the other two. "I'm an expert in this game! I never lose!" He rolled up a sleeve, smiling. "Ready to lose Urameshi?"

Yusuke cracked his knuckles. "Any time monkey boy!"

Toshi sat on the bed and watched as the three of them stood near each other. She could almost fell the tension around her small friends: well Kurama was relaxed smiling lightly, Kuwabara was glaring daggers and Yusuke looked too wound up. Personally, Toshi didn't want them fighting over her. And then, she didn't want to go by herself much either. It was possible that she could be attacked any time while at school. The last battle happened right on her soccer field and everyone was affected. In the end thought everything went back to normal, but the fact that her loved ones were hurt was too deep disturbing to accept. If only, she thought a bit sadly, if only…

"Rock, paper, scissors!" the chant brought Toshi back and she watched. They repeated the chant over and over again. Toshi nervously watched, until…

"Ha! In your face Urameshi! I win!" cheered Kuwabara doing a victorious pose. In the last sign he got a rock, while the other two put out scissors, meaning he won.

"One more time! I swear you cheated!" Yusuke protested, not wanting to believe it. He did not just lose to Kuwabara.

"No way! I won fair a square!" defended Kuwabara right in the boy's face. "Why don't you stop being a sore loser and accept it like a man!"

"He's right Yusuke," Kurama calmly intervened holding onto the boy's shoulders so he wouldn't lunge at Kuwabara who ran up to Toshi and started to rant on his win. "Kuwabara won, so he gets to go with Toshi to school today."

"But-" Yusuke started but stopped when the fox held up a hand.

"He won Yusuke." The fox smiled. "You can go with Toshi tomorrow."

Yusuke grumbled and shoved his fists into his pockets. "Fine. But don't blame me if she doesn't make it out alive." He then turned and walked away. Kurama watched his back and shook his head slightly. Yusuke had a long way to come before he got his true feelings across, until then… He turned his head and watched laughing slightly as Kuwabara showed Toshi his victory poses. The girl was timid at it and nervous on how to do it. Until then, he would just have to protect her.

"TOSHI!" her brother screamed from down stairs. "Hurry it up!"

Toshi, not wanting to be late, got up and picked up her school bag. Taking great care, she placed Kuwabara in a little bag she found that was comfortable and safe for him to be in. She then waved to the others, which Kurama replied as Yusuke had his back turned to the girl and Hiei only did his famous comment, and left the room locking it behind her. She then made her way slowly down the stairs where he brother was waiting impatiently for her.

"God you're slow," he said as she got her jacket. "Well we're running late, so were going to have to take the bus to school."

Toshi winched. She didn't like the bus really, too much people, but more importantly she thought the bus driver didn't like her much. They only took the bus when they were running really late or else they would have used their blades or walked there. She let out a soft sigh. "O…kay."

Her brother looked at her for a moment, before turning and opening the door. They left the house, closed it and went on their way, Toshi being ever so careful not to make the trip a roller coaster ride for the little parcel hidden her hand bag.

Her mind wander to her other little people up in her room and she silently prayed that they didn't get hurt. Like fall out the window she forgot to close, to get lost in her now messy closet…all the previous possibilities returned to her ten fold and she couldn't help but feel terrible.

"Oh yeah," her brother said suddenly as he remembered something. "Spite got loose this morning and I forgot to feed him."

Toshi stopped in her tracks, eyes wide as her head felt light, and with a small cry of fear for her friends, she fainted backwards. Trey stopped and looked at his sister.

"Toshi? Toshi! Aw come Toshi, he's not going to eat anyone!"

She still didn't move.

"Damn it all Toshi!" Trey looked around nervously as nearby people stopped and looked, whispering amongst themselves.

"Come on, your making a scene!" When his sister didn't move he lot out a frustrated groan and, picking her up, hauled her over his shoulder and continued to walk. All the while trying his hardest to ignore the stares.

"What you looking at?" he snapped at an elderly woman who stood next to him, starring as they waited for the light to change. She jumped and hurried across mumbling her self how wrong today's society has gotten.

Trey growled, a vein pulsing over time on his forehead. Leave it to Toshi to faint when the anaconda was lose in the house. He let out another aggravated cry and decided it wouldn't be best to catch the bus with her in this condition. He didn't need the police this early in the morning. So he reluctantly headed to school on foot, his knocked out sister on his shoulder drawing heads where ever he went. Now he was going to be extra late all because she fainted.

The day was going to be long.

FANG: okay, short, I know, not much action but I have to think. Don't hate me for it, I'll be sure to make the next chapter longer! I swear!

Sorry for the late update, being lazy I guess. But I will try to update regularly now. I have some ideas; just need to put them in order.

So…ja ne!
