DDL: Sorry to everyone. So so so sorry. You see I had late play practices and then the play and then I got sick and then my beta got sick and it all caused lots and lots of wreck so I'm behind. Sorry. Thank you all for waiting. Sorry there isn't much of an opening either. - puts head down in shame. -


Everyone frowned at the idea of getting something good out of Koenma except for Alcina. She couldn't stand still and when the doorbell rang she got to the door faster than the speed of light (it seemed.)

"Who is it?" Lor called when she heard the door open. Alcina walked back into the living room with people behind her. One wore blue jeans, a red jacket, and a white T-shirt. His black hair was slicked back and his brown eyes seemed gentle yet sad. The other man was taller with orange hair and searching black eyes. He wore a white T-shirt cover by his blue jacket and faded jeans.

"Lor, Lor! Look!" Alcina jumped up and down all hyper before running over to her. "Koenma got us more pets!"

The two unknown men started laughing. Hiei and Kurama looked at each other. "It couldn't be...could it?"

"Alcina, how many times do I have to tell you!?" Lor pointed her finger in Alcina's face. "You can't bring strangers into the house!" she pointed at the two men. "They are not pets. They could have rabies. I mean look at them. Alcina one day you're going to let a cereal killer in, feed him, and let him kill you."

"He wouldn't kill me. He'd munch on the cereal. A job well done for him." She smiled sweetly as Lor shook her head.

The man with the brown eyes walked over to Alcina and petted her on the head. "Let me try Lor." He met Alcina at eye level. "I can't be your pet but I can be your friend okay?"

"How does that stop her from bringing strangers into the house?" Lor asked knowing there would be no answer.

Alcina crossed her arms like a denying little kid, but gave in when she looked into his eyes. "Fine. I'm Alcina. Lor, Hiei, Kurama." She said pointing them out still ticked.

"Yusuke Urameshi." He pointed at himself with a smile. "Kazuma Kuwabara." He pointed at the tall man.

"Wait a second...I've heard those names somewhere..." Alcina felt like all her thoughts/memories were in a filing cabinet and right now she yanking them up, throwing papers everywhere 'til finally she located it. "Yusuke, half-demon, strong fighter, and an idiot. Kuwabara, a dumb ass with no fighting ability. At least that's what Hiei said."

Yusuke held Kuwabara back as he tried to attack Hiei. "You little shrimp, I'll get you!" Hiei rolled his eyes.

"I feel left in the dark..." Lor said watching them having fun.

Kuwabara broke free of Yusuke and ran over to Lor. "Don't feel left out." He started tickling her. Yusuke gave Hiei a playful noogie ticking him off. Kurama slowly inched away towards Alcina.

After a bit of fun they all sat on the floor in a circle. Hiei and Kurama were curious about what their lost friends had been doing. "I guess I'll just come out and say it. We're dead." Yusuke said with delight.

"Then..." Alcina stammered. "How...are you here?"

"Well, Koenma said we could come today and a week or so later."

"But why you guys?" Lor asked.

"Because our pets know them." Alcina answered. Hiei's eyebrow twitched.

"No. Because Lor's my daughter." Kuwabara blurted out. A single cricket chirped loudly in the room.

Kurama's hand shook. "Kuwabara, if that is true who is the mother?"

"Yukina, of course." Hiei pulled out his sword. Everyone but Lor jumped in front of Kuwabara. As they fought of Hiei Kuwabara made the situation worse. "In your face Hiei. She fell for me."

"Wouldn't that be incest?" Alcina asked. Yusuke covered her mouth.

"Shh...You can't use big words around him anymore. He went to college."

Lor stood up slowly and tackled hugged Kuwabara. A single tear fell down her face. "I'm so glad I get to meet you."

Alcina stared at the sight as Kurama and Yusuke pinned Hiei to the ground. She had mixed feelings, but what she knew for sure was she was jealous of how easily Lor was able to love him.

Lor stood up and helped her old man up too. "Let's go out."

"Where? Where?" Alcina said suddenly excited.

"I was thinking karaoke."

"You have that in America?" Yusuke asked.

"Duh."

Hiei struggled on the floor to get free. Alcina petted him on the head. "Now, be good or else." A glint was seen in her eyes. Hiei calmed down and Yusuke couldn't believe his eyes.

- Karaoke Bar -

Everyone but Kuwabara and Yusuke walked inside. They stood in the parking lot staring at each other. "Are you going to tell her?" Kuwabara asked.

"Tell who what?" Yusuke answered with a smile.

"Yusuke..."

"Let's go party." Yusuke walked toward the entrance and Kuwabara followed shaking his head. It didn't take long to catch up with the gang. The stage was to the left, dance floor in the middle, tables in surrounding area, and of course a bar in the far back right corner. The gang sat to the side near the dance floor as a slightly drunk man sang 'who's your daddy?' by Toby Keith.

"Ba geez, this guy is bad." Alcina covered her ears, placing her head down on the table. They nodded in agreement.

"Why don't you sing for us then?" Yusuke placed his hand on the table scaring Lor and Kurama from coming out of nowhere.

Alcina lifted her head. The man was almost finished, but she didn't feel like it especially because Yusuke asked. "Yeah, Alcina, it's been a while." Lor gave a thumbs up.

Alcina leaned back and crossed her arms. "I won't go up there alone."

Kurama forced Hiei's hand into the air. "Hiei volunteers to go up there with you." Hiei glared at Kurama.

Alcina thought about it for a bit. "Alright, I give in. Come on, Hiei, we need to liven this place up after that performance."

Alcina talked to the guy working the machine and then joined Hiei on the stage. "What are we singing?" He asked.

"Domo Domo Domo by Smile.dk." Alcina grinned as they picked up there microphones.

(Alcina) Hey, listen DJ
(Hiei) We're gonna have a party
(Alcina) Party on and on and on
(Hiei) Hey, come on DJ
(Alcina)Gonna move our bodies
(Hiei) Move them on and on and on

Lor grabbed Kurama's hand. "Let's dance!" she smiled sweetly dragging him onto the dance floor.

(Both) So let the music take you
Higher than before
And let the rhythm hit you
Once more, once more, once mo-o-ore
Domo Domo Domo
SMILE o misete

PARTY PARTY PARTY
PARTY tanoshimou
KYO-MO KYO-MO tanoshii!

People flowed onto the dance floor. Even Yusuke and Kuwabara got up to join in the fun.

(Alcina) Hey, pump it now
(Hiei) Gonna hit the dance floor
(Alcina) Hit it on and on and on
(Hiei) Hey, don't you stop now
(Alcina) Come on and shake your bodies
(Hiei) Shake 'em on and on and on
(Both) So let the music take you
Higher than before
And let the rhythm hit you
Once more, once more, once mo-o-ore
Domo Domo Domo

The crowd cheered wildly as the music died. Some even wanted an encore. They turned it down though. Lor and Kurama greeted them as they got off stage.

"You guys make a good team." Lor gave them her famous grin and thumbs up. Alcina patted Lor on the back then pushed her up the stairs. "HEY!"

"Your turn." Alcina glared pushing her up the last steps.

Hiei glanced at Kurama and signaled with his eyes to go with Lor. Kurama hesitated at first but decided if Hiei could do it then he could to. "I'll get the DJ to play a song you know. Break a leg." Alcina said giving Lor the final push onto the stage. Everyone in the crowd clapped as Kurama walked on slowly behind Lor.

They picked up the microphones from before and waited for the music to start. When the tune started Lor knew it immediately. "Roses are red by Aqua."

(Lor) Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet, but not as sweet as you

Alcina at her eyes focused on Kurama. "Hiei, I think Kurama is going to turn into Yoko..." Kurama was trying to focus on the words coming up but his eyes kept peering over to Lor and it seemed as if he'd blush either from her or embarrassment. "Use your lighting speed and get me a table cloth. A long one...don't break anything." With a snap Hiei was gone.

(Lor) Roses are red and
Violets are blue.
ad id aid id mud
ad id aid id mud

Hiei returned in record breaking time handing the cloth to Alcina. She gave one half to Hiei and told him her plan. As Lor started singing dum di dia di da, Alcina and Hiei ran out on stage and wrapped the cloth around Kurama covering his whole body. When they pulled it away Yoko appeared and quickly jumped into his part while the two ran off the stage.

(Yoko) Come pick my Roses!

The crowd cheered wildly when they saw how quick Kurama had turned into someone else.

(Lor) Sweet from the flowers
Honey from the bees
I've got a feeling, Ím ready to release
Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet, but not as sweet as you

"Wasn't that exciting?" Alcina said folding the cloth in a perfect square.

"Hn." Alcina took that as a yes.

Yusuke came out of nowhere, picked Alcina up by the waist, and twirled her in a circle. Kuwabara's laugh was almost as loud as the singing, grabbing some people's attention. Hiei got ready to cut his voice box out, but didn't feel like being yelled at and going to jail again so he let it slide.

When Yusuke put Alcina down she was incredibly dizzy. She led her hand to her head hoping that would help, but she soon lost her balance and used Hiei as a cushion. Kuwabara slapped Yusuke on the back. Alcina pushed herself off Hiei as Yusuke and Kuwabara started praising them on their singing.

- Hours Later at Their Table -

"Hey Alcina," Lor said wiggling her eyebrows. "Wanna play game?"

"A fun game?" Alcina asked excitedly unfolding the cloth from earlier.

"Well, I heard in Japan when they do things like this they play a game with pocky." Alcina waited to hear more as she threw the cloth over the blushing Kurama.

"Instinct?" Everyone but Alcina thought at once.

"How do you play?" Alcina asked.

Pulling herself out of shock, Lor cracked her neck and then pointed her finger at Alcina. "See you put one side of the pocky in your mouth and then a guy puts the other side in his mouth. You both start eating the pocky and eventually you kiss."

Alcina frowned. "That's no fun."

Yoko popped his head out from behind Lor's chair. "That's right. We don't need the pocky." Yoko leaned in to steal a kiss from Lor, but she quickly punched him in the jaw. Kuwabara enraged by Yoko's actions, picked him off the ground, and carried him off.

"So, Hiei..." Lor turned her attend to him to see what he thought, but he seemed to have disappeared.

"Ma'am," someone old man tapped Alcina on the shoulder making her turn around. "Are you the one who stole the table cloth?"

"My friend did. Yes." She nodded.

"Well, follow me." Alcina got up and Yusuke carefully watched where she was heading while Lor looked around for Hiei.

When the old man stopped there was a flipped over table and tons of broken glass. "This is the scene of the crime."

"HIEI!!!!!!" Alcina put on her best fake smile. "I'm so sorry. I'll pay you back promise. How much will this cost?"

"I'm certain you can't afford it so for the next couple of years I want you and that fellow of yours to come back every night and sing."

She was about to protest, but she could tell he needed the business. "Alright." She gave the old man her number. "Call when you need us."

She walked slowly back over to the table and slammed her fist down. "Where is Hiei?" Yusuke and Lor scooted their chairs back a couple inches.

"He's disappeared." Lor answered slowly.

"Pack up. We're leaving now."

- Two Days Later -

Alcina sat by the window staring out at the pouring rain drowning the plants.

Lor and Kurama watched her from the kitchen. "She's still moping and waiting." Lor let out a sigh.

"So, Hiei hasn't come back yet?" Yusuke yawned rubbing his stomach. Kurama shook his head. "If she doesn't get happy soon the whole world will drown."

Lor and Kurama looked at him quizzically. "She's making it rain without knowing it. Her demon power is weather and although she's reached a pretty high level she can't control it."

"We need to do something then." Kurama said.

Yusuke yawned. "Well, I'll wake Kuwabara and we'll go hunt for Hiei. Since we're already dead they'll be no big worry. Okay?"

They nodded. "This was bound to happen. The way she treated her pet...I mean friend." Lor thought to herself.


Lor: have you guys seen Hiei?

DDL: He probably went out to kill someone. He'll be back soon.

Kurama: Shouldn't we stop him?

Alcina: Yeah.

DDL: No. He needs to release so steam.

Alcina: What steam? Does he have a fever? - overly worried -

Lor: Calm down. - rolls eyes -

DDL: Any way next time on LoF The Missing Hiei. What's gonna happen?
