CS: Let me just say I'm going through a rough time right now that's causing me more problems. Because what has happen I'm behind not only on stories but my work in school. Usually stuff doesn't effect my school work but this… is something that has caused my world to turn upside down. And it did not help right before vacation I got a serious head cold that made me loose my voice and able to think straight for a week.

Katsuro: You do know they don't care about your life and only care about the entertainment you give them.

CS: I'm sure a few care… or understand it's not completely my fault.

Katsuro: Yeah, just keep telling yourself that.

CS: That's it. I'm cutting your scene time!

The Girl and Her Rock: part 1

Emi rubbed her eyes as she grabbed the annoying alarm clock and slammed the off button. She soon set her eyes on the bundle of blankets beside her. She moved one sheet away to show her baby.

"good morning!" No response came.

Emi got up from her bed and stretched. Today was a good day. She had something big planed for today. But first she had to do something... secretively.

It was five in the morning and everyone, except Emi, was asleep. Emi crept out of her room and slipped through the hall. She went passed the guest room that was being used by her brother and girlfriend. Suki was sound asleep on the big bed, where Nick was stuffed in the closet, still on probation. Emi got to her destination, the closet.

She slowly opened it trying not to make a sound, because Ayane's room was right beside it, and she can be a light sleeper at times. Emi viewed the bundles of towels, blankets, some futon mattresses, pillows, highly powerful stain remover, and-

"There it is!" Emi quickly covered her mouth.

She waited until she heard no sound or movement from the other room. She grabbed the object between the blankets and proceeded to close the door. In her hands was an electrical heat pad. She tip toed back into her room, only hearing Katsuro's loud sleep talk swears that came from his room. Emi smiled ear to ear as she placed the heat pad on her egg.

"I still haven't thought a name for you." Emi cutely pouted as she tried to think of one, "Oh, well... I'll think of something later. I first need to get ready!"

Emi headed towards a bag Ayane gave her last night and took out an outfit. "Yusuke is going to be so surprised!"

"What. The. Hell." After five minutes of staring, Yusuke was able to speak again. He thought this was going to be a good day (for once). Keiko and him were going to eat lunch alone together, where he was going to ask her if she wanted to go see a movie. With no signs of The Oculus, the gang have had nothing really to do, but wait for them to strike next. But his plans crumbled when this happened. Before the first bell rang, Emi appeared in the front gates in a school uniform. Not in any school uniform, but in a Sarayashiki junior high school uniform. Keiko left the shocked Yusuke to greet the chipper girl and was now bringing Emi over.

"What are you looking at, Uram-?" Kuwabara stopped in mid sentence to look where his rival was staring at to see Emi a few feet away. "What are you doing here!?"

"I'm attending school here," Yusuke and Kuwabara lost all their color, "Isn't the whole outfit a giveaway?"

"You look so cute Emi!" Keiko complimented.

Yusuke and Kuwabara had to admit (but never out loud) that Emi was cute. Emi had little butterfly hair pieces in her hair to keep some of her hair out of her face. Her eyes were the always cheery, childlike purple and her smile was into a goofy grin. Her long sleeve shirt was a bit too big on her. The cuffs of the shirt went a bit past the wrists and the shirt was slightly baggy. Her skirt was an inch past the knees. She was the image of cute.

"But why our school!" Yusuke felt a headache coming, "Why not Kurama's school."

"Well that was my first choice, but Ayane said she and the principle there had a few issues in the past."

"what sort of issues?" Kuwabara asked.

"Something that involves a restraining order and a massacre." Emi said simple.

"… Why am I not surprised."

"Come on Emi, lets go to the office to get your schedule." Keiko took Emi away from the two, towards the front doors.

"School has just gotten worse."

"And I thought this would be an escape from her."

Both boys sighed before they sulked into the building. Today was going to be a long, long day.

"Will you come down," Suki gave a slight glare to Nick. "She will be fine."

Suki was planning to watch tv for most of the day. But since her boyfriend was the protective brother type, she had to watch her boyfriend pace in the living, specifically in front of the tv.

"You don't understand, Suki!" Nick shot his arms in the air, pacing faster, "There are boys that have just started puberty not too long ago. Emi is an adorable innocent looking girl. She'll be mauled!"

"The key phrase is 'innocent looking'," Suki moved her head left and right trying to catch Ninja Warriors. "She can take care of herself. Besides those two guys and that girl go to the school too."

"Yes, but how do you know if those boys wont-"

"Yusuke likes Keiko and Kuwabara likes this other girl named Yukina."

"When are you people leaving?" Ayane came into the living room in a new kimono. "Seriously this is not a free place you can stay in."

"I can't leave my sister all by herself!"

"First she is not all by herself." Ayane took the remote from Suki and changed it to the cooking channel. "Second she was without you for a good nine chapters."

"well I cant leave her with a flamed head creature."

"I HEARD THAT, SHIT-HEAD!!!" Katsuro said from another part of the house.

"I should just kill that foul mouth-"

"Don't even think about killing him," Ayane hit Nick's head with the remote. "I still need him to do hard labor for little pay."

"Where is she?" everyone turned to see the short demon in the group of spirit detectives appear out of nowhere.

"You know most people would say hello first." Nick glared.

"Most people would knock!" Ayane yelled.

"Yeah, what ever, where is she?"

"If you are wondering where Emi is she is at school." Suki gave a bored sigh.

"School?"

"Yeah, the one that carrot top goes to."

Hiei chucked, "they get to spend together with her in school as well. This is a better day than I thought it was going to be."

The two detectives, Keiko, and Emi sat on the roof of the school building, munching on their lunch. Yusuke kept clenching and unclenching his fingers to control his anger. This was going to be just him and Keiko. But she had to come and ruin it. And of course Carrot top also had to be there too. Wait a minute. Did he just say carrot top!?

"Is something wrong Yusuke?" Keiko asked.

"No," He gave his best smile he could must. "Nothing is wrong."

"If you say so," Keiko turned her attention to Emi. "So what are you going to name the egg?"

"I dunno." Emi took a big bit from her sandwich. "Maybe Rick."

"Rick?" Yusuke raised an eyebrow, "Why Rick?"

"Why not Rick?"

"Hey, how do you know it's a boy?" Kuwabara asked, not realizing he was questioning the gender of a rock.

"Motherly instincts." Emi Claimed.

"If you a mother, Kuwabara is the toughest guy in the school."

"SHUT UP URAMASHI!!!

"Oh, I forgot my water in the class room," Emi quickly got up and headed out, "I'll be right back."

"Keiko, you know that egg is just a rock, right?" Yusuke whispered.

"What!? What do you mean a rock?"

"Hiei told Emi that a rock was an egg."

"WHa-! And you allowed him to trick her!" Keiko stood up, her hands on her hips.

"It was the only way to keep her happy!" Yusuke replied in his defense.

"Well it's going to hurt Emi deeply when the 'egg' does not hatch!"

"Don't worry," Yusuke tried to calm the angry middle school girl, "Hiei is going to tell her when we find her another pet."

"Well you better find that pet soon, Yusuke!" Keiko made a fist, "because Emi will loose it if her hopes are crushed! And I'll make sure you get full force of it!"

In a private jet going over the Pacific ocean was Emi's Boss and his Assistant. The Boss moved the wine in his glass, looking bored out the window.

"I hate plane rides." The boss grumbled.

"Well it can't be helped." His assistant took a gulp of red wine before smiling, "It's the fastest way to get to Japan."

"But it's so boring," The boss whined.

"Don't worry we are almost there."

"Really!" The boss smile grew, "how much longer?"

"Five more hours."

The boss let out a moan.

"I don't think I can take much more of this." The Boss slinked into his chair.

"You can handle it," He gave a short pause and smiled. "Mr. Baldwin."

"…Thomas."

"Yes?"

"What was with that pause?"

"Oh, I wanted to leave a moment of suspense before saying your name." Thomas gave a goofy smile, "Like in the movies."

"Ok… weirdo." he sipped his glass of wine.

"I'm weird?" Thomas chuckled, "I'm not the one with bunny slippers on."

"Thomas, you know I can't relax on a long plane ride without them," He stared down at cute bunny ears, beady eyes, and the adorable pink nose, "Besides they are so adorable!"

"Yeah, I know."

"Remind me to thank Emi for getting me these."

"of coarse," He looked at his boss's glass, "how about you drink the wine you picked and not waste it."

"I want to but…"

"But?"

"I actually don't remember getting a drink… now that I think about it, how did I get on this plane!"

Thomas chucked before getting a good swig of the red wine, "This is going to be a long trip."

Emi was walking out of the school by herself because Yusuke asked *cough*Begged*cough* for Emi to leave him and Keiko alone for the rest of the day. Even though Emi seems naïve (which in most situations she is) she understood what Yusuke wanted to do and respected his wishes.

"You."

Emi looked around to see a few students walking out of the school as well but none seemed to have called her name.

"girl, over here."

Emi looked towards the tree to see black spiky hair. She smiled before skipping over.

"What are you doing here, Hiei?" Emi smiled up at the demon.

"Besides watching the two get tortured by you." Hiei smirked, "I came to watch over you."

"What do you mean by torturing them?"

"Well there is how you introduced yourself today."

**Flashback**

Emi walked into Keiko, Yusuke, and Kuwabara's home room class when the teacher introduced her to the class.

"Now Emi, is there anything you'd like to say?"

"Well I like to say I love chocolate, video games, cho- OH MY GOD! IS THAT YOU YUSUKE!!! I didn't know you'd be in my class! Isn't that great! We get to see each other every morning! I just realize you're not wearing the school uniform, why is that? Is your favorite color green?"

"Um, Miss Emi-"

"IS THAT YOU KEIKO!!! I can't believe I also have you in my class too! Yay, I have all my friends for home room!"

"Hey, what about me!!"

"Oh, hi Carrot top. Didn't notice you are also in the class."

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, MY NAME IS KUWABARA!!!"

"Yeah, Yeah. Anyway I Like hugs-I just remembered! Yusuke! Mika was wondering if you hooked up with Keiko yet!

"Shut up, Emi."

"Um, Miss Emi I think it best if you took your seat."

"Ok!"

**End of flashback**

"I still don't know what you mean."

Hiei just shook his head.

"And what do mean by watch over me?"

"The Baby wants me to watch over you." Hiei sighed, "He believes The Oculus may try to recruit you."

"But I can take care of myself." Emi pouted.

"Then tell that to him."

"Well, I better get home and see if Rick is ok."

"Rick?"

"That's the name I'm giving him." Emi looked at her watch." so are you going to come down and walk with me or hid in the shadow-"

Emi look back up to see he was gone.

"Sir… Sir.. BOSS!!!"

"Wha!" Mr. Baldwin bolted from his chair trying to figure out how he got on a plane. Wait, now he remembered. "The only reason for you to wake me-"

"We landed."

"Yes!" He leapt up from his chair, making his assistant jump back. "Finally I can get out of this metal death trap and warn Emi the danger she's in."

"Yeah, about that."

"What?"

"Well the thing is we didn't land at the airport near the residence where Emi lives."

"What!? Why?!"

"Something about a few planes almost crashed together. Like some were lifting off while others were landing at the same time. So, we had to go to a different airport."

"How far?"

"A five hour drive away."

The boss groined.

"I'm home!" Emi came in to hear footsteps rush towards her.

"EMI!!! You're home!" Nick took his sister in a big hug.

"You're still here?"

"Of coarse I'm still here!" Nick let go of Emi, "I can't leave my sister alone to defend herself."

"When have I been alone?"

"Welcome back Emi." Suki came out from the living room.

"Suki!" Emi gave her a hug. "I'm happy your still here."

"Hey that's not what you said to me!"

"I'm happy she's here since you don't seem to leave." The two left to the kitchen while Nick fallowed.

"What happen to the little sister who loved being around her big brother."

"The little sister got tired of the big brother being over protective and annoying."

"You know that I all do it out of love!"

"He's got a point." Suki took a cup from the cupboard, "one mission, he stalked me for 39 hours to protect me from molesters ."

"It was a bad town!"

"If you mean it was deserted with no sign of life." Suki got some water and stared out the window, "What is shorty doing outside?"

"Oh he's there to watch over me."

"What!? That pervert!"

"I don't she means it like that."

"Koenma told him to watch over me because he fears The Oculus wants to recruit me."

"How dare they even think of trying to get my little sister to- wait Oculus, What's that?"

"Has the group made any appearance." Suki asked.

"Not for awhile now."

"You know about them, Suki?"

"Yes, Emi told me about them."

Nick whimpered before going into a dark corner.

"why won't she tell me anything. I thought my baby sister was going to share everything with me."

"Well it's obvious why she didn't tell you sooner," Suki rolled her eyes, "You would try to lock her up in a safe place for the rest of her life."

"And The last time I told you something secret, you chased poor Billy down the road with a metal bat!"

"He had it coming."

"EMI!!!" Ayane yelled from upstairs, "GET UP HERE!"

"Uh oh." Emi went up stairs, having an idea on what it was about.

Emi went up the stairs towards her room. Standing in front of her bed was Ayane holding the heating pad.

"Why are you using a heating pad on a r-"

"It's to keep him warm!"

"Him?"

"Yeah the egg. It's a he."

Ayane opened her mouth then closed it.

"Emi, you can't leave this thing on all day." Ayane took deep breathe to keep herself calm. "It will either catch your bed on fire or cost me a pretty penny on electricity."

"But how will I keep it warm!"

"You'll think of something." Ayane had to keep up this egg thing till they found a replacement. "Besides I think this egg just needs you're love and a mother's warmth."

"Ok!" Emi gave her a big smile.

Ayane smiled and left the room. She went down the stairs to find the unwanted guest still there. She past them without a word and went outside. She looked up at the big tree near Emi window. She stood a few feet from the trunk and even though she didn't see anyone she started to yell.

"YOU GOT A WEEK TO FIND EMI A NEW PET OR I SWEAR I'LL SKIN YOUR TINY DEMON ASS ALIVE!!!!"

Yusuke: Wait… you're ending here?! I thought you had more to write.

CS: I did. I do. But since this is over ten pages long and it's going to be at least five more pages to go I decided to stop here and just make the other part a chapter.

Emi: well that's good. I'm sure there's a lot of fans about to kill you now.

CS: You have no idea. I apologize. Especially to my Crystal Clear fans. I have major writers block and a lot of stuff has happen. Please forgive me. (puppy eyed)
