A/n: Okay, I've decided to update because of all the beautiful reviews especially the grammar review that really makes me happy because I take pride in my writing and I love comments about my punctuation.
Vegeta, Dev, Conner, and Kurama all sat in the living room talking about Okane's plan.
"So she wants all of our rare items; why?" Kurama looked at them skeptically wondering why his girlfriend would need to steal all of those things.
"Um…," Dev stammered unable to answer his question. "You never told us who this kid was," she said changing the subject as she pointed to Conner.
"Well you see we found him drowning and Yahiko saved him. He's been declared dead so we decided to watch him," Kurama said looking over at the 5-year old who had his head down in sadness. All of a sudden he heard the boy sniffle no doubt trying to hold back his tears. He put a comforting hand on the boys shoulder to show remorse. He really did feel bad for the little guy he was only five and had a near death experience and now he was being taken care of by strangers that had weird powers, which he thought could only happen in his dreams.
"Awe…," Dev felt the same as Kurama and knelt near the boy and embraced him in a hug. Conner accepted her kindness and hugged her back still afraid to shed a tear.
WITH THE OTHERS
"What do you think they are talking about?" Botan asked the others trying to start a conversation with them.
"I don't know what do I look like I can hear them," Hiei scoffed giving her a disgraceful look.
"They are probably talking about Okane," Yusuke voiced his opinion.
"Well no duh stupid," Hiei retorted.
"Hey, I was just telling Botan, she's not the smartest person you know," Yusuke yelled back getting ready to fight with Hiei again.
"I am smart! Uh! How dare you not tell me I'm not intelligent! How do you think I got head grim reaper," Botan screamed her side as her face began to get red with anger.
"You've forgotten you've been demoted to the girl that follows an immature 15 year-old; like his babysitter," Hiei said coldly enjoying their latest argument.
"I don't not need babysat!" Yusuke shouted enraged. "Plus she watches over you too; and at least she isn't in love with me." Yusuke smirked at his cleverness. Botan had told him she wanted Hiei to know that she liked him.
"Yusukeeeeeeee," Botan whined with hidden tears streaming down her face.
Yusuke now blushed apparently she didn't want him to tell until she was gone. "Sorry."
Hiei hadn't heard what Yusuke had said right or did he? Did Botan really like him? His head started swarming with fear, how could she. Just then something interrupted his thoughts his jagan eye was showing him something. He saw a black dog and a white and auburn dog sniffing a human. He looked closer the human looked familiar. "CATE," he said out loud.
"What?" Kuwabara looked at him finally speaking.
"I found Cate and where ever Cate is Okane should be," Hiei figured running towards the house.
"Where is he going?" Yusuke ran after him.
Botan watched them go and started getting up before she decided it would be better if she and Kuwabara stayed in hiding.
"We have to stay here don't we?" Kuwabara asked seeing Botan still crying from when Yusuke embarrassed her. Botan just shook her head 'yes'.
AT THE HOUSE
"I can't believe they came back and stole the stuff you guys stole from us and then went into hiding. Okane really thought this one out didn't she?" Kurama sighed; he now had Conner in his lap.
"Yea but I really have no idea why she wants all that junk," Vegeta said watching Kurama run his hand through Conner's hair as Conner looked at him almost studying his features. "Whatcha looking at kid?"
"You are short, my daddy was short. He helped me catch my very own fish I was going to eat him," Conner said in a small feeble voice.
"Do you like fish?" Kurama looked down at the brave boy this was one of the first times he had actually said something.
"No fish are icky but if I caught a Conner fish then I would eat it cuz I've always wondered what I would taste like as a fish," He beamed turning to look at Kurama.
"And what does a Conner fish look like?" He giggled at the boy's proud smile.
"Oh….I doesn't know but I think a Conner fish would look like me. Like my evil twin, which is why I have to eat him," He made a disgusted face.
"Why do you want to eat your evil twin?"
"Cuz um…..Doy! He is evil,"
"KURAMA," Hiei shouted bursting in the door as everyone jumped not suspecting him to show up.
"Hiei what is it?" Kurama said looking at him stern as he tried to get his heart rate back to normal.
"I found Cate."
They all jumped up when Hiei told them his news as Yusuke came running in behind him out of breath. Kurama looked at Vegeta as they ran for the door.
"Show me where," Vegeta shouted looking at a man that was his same height and looked almost exactly like him.
"Follow me," Hiei turned almost running into Yusuke.
After about 5 minutes of trying to catch up to Hiei they finally made it to the site he had envisioned in his head. Buddy and Maggie looked up at everyone that had arrived.
Kurama instinctively bent down to check Cate's pulse and she was still alive so all was good so far, but where was Okane? "Did she abandon her cousin?" He wondered out loud.
"I don't know but she doesn't look so good," Vegeta said bending down and picking Cate up as they all headed back to the house. Hopefully when she recovered they could get some answers as to what Okane is attempting to accomplish.
WITH OKANE
Okane watched as everyone gathered back inside her grandma's house. "Tsk tsk tsk, they won't find anything out from Cate because she doesn't know anything she was just my accomplice while I got what I needed. Shame on Kurama he should know better; I've told him before I was going to do this, its funny that he doesn't remember. We had a huge talk about it more then once! I guess now I know that he doesn't listen to me," Okane stated trying hard not to laugh. She looked away from the orange globe as she tossed a spoiled apple at the wall, "Hmph, he never listens to me. But more importantly where am I going to go next? Hmm…." Okane pondered a safe haven. "Oh I know lets go visit my favorite muscle man!"
Okane then quickly stood up and grabbed her sphere and bag of goodies that she had shrunken for better carrying purposes. She quickly waved her hand as a portal open in front of her and she jumped into it.
BACK WITH KOENMA
Sano woke up stretching his arms high in the air. He glanced over at Kenshin who had Kauru wrapped up in his arms and was breathing softly in her ear. He looked for Yahiko but couldn't find him. "Where did everyone go?" He asked himself he didn't see Yusuke or the others. "Where's the little kid?"
"You better not of been calling me a little kid," Yahiko sneered from behind him ready to pounce on him.
"No," Sano turned around to face the boy.
"Yeah right," Yahiko shouted tackling Sano.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh….," Sano screamed waking up the two love birds.
