Next morning, Artemis woke up feeling strange, and thinking about his dream. It was about Ari. He was tired, and wondering about Ari. Sighing, he got up and headed for the kitchen.

"Here you go, Artemis. Breakfast." Mukuro frowned, sliding a plate of barely edible food in front of him. Artemis just looked at it. A) He wasn't hungry. B) He didn't feel good. C) It was digusting to look at, much less taste.

"What's wrong?" Mukuro asked.

"I'm not that hungry." Artemis frowned, looking away from the plate.

"Oh..." Mukuro frowned.

"Hey, Artemis, you coming?" Kiri asked, barging into the dining room.

"Come where?" Mukuro asked, frowning.

"My house." Kiri grinned, crossing his arms.

"Yeah. I'll be back later, mom." Artemis stood up.

"Uh, alright." Mukuro frowned. They went outside and Artemis turned left, and Kiri turned right.

"Where are you going?" Artemis frowned. "Your house is this way."

"We're not going to my house, you baka!" Kiri frowned. "We're going to see Ari and Chetara. Come on, they're this way."

"Ari? We're going to see Ari?" Artemis asked, taking off after Kiri.

Soon...

"Hey, Chetara! Ari!" Kiri yelled. "Are you in there?"

A sleepy voice called, "No. We don't want any. And we're sleeping if you're anyone important."

Another voice yelled, "Is that Kiri?"

"Yeah! And Artemis." Kiri yelled. Two heads popped out, a black and red haired one and a purple haired one, immeadiately. Chetara climbed down with the help of Ari, who then climbed down herself.

"Sorry if we woke you." Artemis said.

"Oh, no problem. We weren't doing anything important, just one of the basic functions of life." Ari yawned, then smiled. Both Ari and Chetara's hair was mussed, as was Artemis, as he hadn't even had time to brush it before Kiri drug him off.

Artemis laughed, then cleared his throat. "Sorry."

"Don't worry about it, Artemis. We would have woken up eventually." Ari smiled.

"Yeah." Chetara yawned. "Hey, Kiri."

"Hey, Chetara." Kiri grinned.

"What's up?"

"The sky and nothing. We were just coming to visit you two." Kiri grinned.

"Cool." Chetara grinned.

Ari and Artemis were quiet, not knowing what to say. Kiri pulled Artemis aside a minute.

"Artemis, I didn't lie to both our parents so you could stand there and look at her. Say something, man!" Kiri growled. "Don't look a girl horse in the mouth! Just go!"

Artemis blinked, confused. "Girl horse?"

"Shut up, and talk to her." Kiri growled.

"I don't know what to say."

"Tell her you missed her, that you've been thinking about her. Tell her SOMETHING!" Kiri griped.

"Uh...ok." Artemis nodded, and they joined the girls.

"How have you been, Ari?" Artemis asked.

"Good, better now, though." Ari blushed.

"..." Artemis blushed too.

Kiri sighed in irritation. "Should we leave them alone awhile to see if they'll start talking? You know, sleeping demons lie?"

"Yeah." Chetara said, confused over his last comment.

"Cool, come on." Kiri nodded, walking away. Chetara followed him. Once Ari and Artemis were alone, they warmed up enough to have a conversation.

"...I missed you." Ari frowned. "That sounds weird, because I just met you but..."

Artemis silenced her. "Me too. Only...I had a dream about you."

Ari blinked, then laughed. "That's two things our night had in common."

"You dreamed about me, too?" Artemis asked, wide eyed.

"Yeah..." Ari blushed, taking his hand and leading him to a tree and sitting down. Artemis blushed crimson, as Ari did too.

"So, you sleep in that treehouse?" Artemis asked. "Where...where are your parents?"

"..." Ari studied her hands in her lap. "We don't have any. My parents abandoned me at birth and Chetara...Her parents were killed when we were young. I lived with her and her parents."

"Oh..." Artemis frowned. "I'm sorry."

"Eh, I've never known my parents, and we barely remember Chetara's parents." Ari smiled softly. "Or Chetara's sister."

"What's her name?" Artemis asked. "I have connections, I can find her."

"..." Ari smiled. "It's been...10 years. Chetara would know more about her than I would."

And wouldn't you know it, Chetara and Kiri walked up, talking up a storm.

"Hey, Chetara." Ari frowned. "What was your sister's name?"

"...My sister?" Chetara frowned. "Why?"

"Artemis says that he can find her for us." Ari smiled. "It was...A...A-something...Aya! That was it. Aya Kioke."

"You can find her?" Chetara frowned, studying Artemis.

"Well, not me exactly. One of my friends." Artemis shrugged.

"Koenma should be able to find her in a kibeat." Kiri grinned.

"A what?" Chetara frowned.

"You know, pulse of the ki. Our hearts don't beat, our ki pulses." Kiri explained. "You know?"

"Hm...makes sense." Ari commented.

"It sounds weird." Chetara frowned.

Artemis shook his head. "That's nothing. You should hear some of his 'expressions'. Some of my favorites include have your gravy and ride it too, something about a cake train, and hitting the nail on the hammer."

Ari laughed. "...strange."

Chetara laughed. "Where would have your gravy and ride it, too be applicable?"

"You know, if someone wants something and all the benefits along with it. They want their gravy and to ride it too." Kiri explained.

"And the cake train?"

"They're riding the cake train. They're going along with something that will help them." Kiri smiled.

Ari shook her head. "Interesting."
