StR/playing Monopoly with Yusuke/ Enjoy! It's your turn Yusuke.

Y: We've been playing this for 12 hours! Can I sleep?

Y: Save me!

Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching
them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years
telling them to sit down and shut-up.

Chapter 2: The fight, the game, and the nightmare

"I'll kill them," said a dark evil voice. "I'll kill them all just like I did with the others. Then I'll go and kill your other little friends too."

"No!" shouted Rei.

"You actually think you can stop me with a stupid barrier? You're only ignoring the inevitable. I will kill them and I'll make sure it's painful!"

"NO!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Leave me alone!" shouted Rei as she jolted up in a cold sweat. Hiei barged in with his hand on his katana.

"What? What's wrong? Is there a demon?" yelled Hiei, looking around. Rei started to blush seeing Hiei with no shirt on.

"No just me! I kinda had a nightmare," she said.

I had that dream before. The dream where that thing said she was going to kill my friends. That's why I always run from the people who cared about me. I wanted to run away again but I was tried of running away.

"YOU WOKE ME UP FOR THAT?" yelled Hiei.

"Sorry!" 'Damn he has cool hair…and nice abs.'

"Hn." Hiei left and Rei sighed. A figure that had red glowing eyes and looked like a shadow appeared sitting at the edge of the bed.

"No more running," said the shadow.

"Right. I'm tried of it."

"Good. I wasn't going to let you anyway. Go to bed."

"Yes oh great one." Rei said sarcastically.

"That's right I'm g… She's asleep."

"Yum! This is great!" cried Rei stuffing her face with breakfast that Kurama made.

"Grow grow!" agreed Fang who was eating at the table to.

"Get away from the table and eat on the floor like your suppose to Fang!" Fang grumbled and took his plate in his mouth and ate on the floor. Yusuke and Kuwabara came running into the chanting 'Food, food, food!' only to see that all the food was gone.

"What happen to all the food?" yelled Kuwabara.

"Well, Rei's eating the last of it," said Kurama. Rei stopped eating the last of her sausage when she heard her name. She looked over to see a waterfall of drool coming out of Yusuke and Kuwabara's mouth. She put the fork in front of their face. They nodded and leaned forward to take a bite but Rei put it in her mouth before they could.

"Thanks Kurama, that was great!" said Rei as she skipped out of the kitchen to watch TV and Hiei came in. He saw Yusuke and Kuwabara crying and Kurama sweat dropping.

"I don't want to know," he said as walked over to the freezer and got some sweat snow out.

"What do you think your doing?" asked Kurama.

"Eating," said Hiei. He was about to take a bite but Kurama took the spoon and carton away from him. "Hey!"

"No sweets for breakfast. I'll make some waffles. Then we'll train."

After breakfast they went into the living room to see Rei and Botan crying at the TV.

"What's with them?" asked Yusuke.

"He is sooooooo hot!" cried Botan. "But he's taken!" She just started to cry more.

"Look at his hair!" cried Rei.

"And those abs!"

"And the hair!"

"And the eyes!"

"And the hair!"

"What's with you and hair?"

"That's the first thing I notice about guys. I love good hair."

"I would hate to interrupt this… interesting conversation but we're going to train and wondering if you two wanted to come," said Kurama. They looked at each other and nodded.

"So Rei what kind of powers do you have?" asked Kuwabara.

"It's a secret," she whispered with her index finger near her mouth.

"You can control shadows, can't you?" asked Kurama.

"Huh?"

"That's right! You were trying to escape by using the shadows," said Yusuke.

"That was the talisman's doing."

"Oh."

"So Rei, do you use any weapons when you fight?" asked Kurama.

"Of course."

"Want to tell us what they are?" asked an aggravated Hiei.

"I'm good with guns and swords!"

"Swords, huh? Okay me and you, right now."

"Eh?"

"You heard me."

"But I don't have my swords!"

"We have extras in the weapon room."

"Ready?" asked Hiei. They were in their indoor training center with built in arena.

"No," said Rei who was holding a sword in her right hand. 'One sword. Not good.'

"Good." Hiei vanished from sight.

"Hey wait…where'd he go?"

"Behind you!" Rei went wide-eyed and barley dodged with her sword. The sound of clashing metal echoed throughout the room. Hiei kept slashing at Rei and she kept dodging with her sword.

"That's weird," said Kurama.

"What is?" asked Yusuke.

"If you look closely at her hand you can see that her left hand if barley holding on to the sword."

"So?" said Kuwabara. "What's that mean?"

"It means she's probably not use to holding a sword with two hands."

"Okay?" said a confused Yusuke.

"Never mind. Forget I said anything." Back with Rei and Hiei, he had disappeared again and Rei cried anime style.

"This isn't fair," she wined.

"Life isn't fair!" yelled Hiei as he knocked the sword out of her hands. It flew towards the door right as Koenma was coming in.

"Ah!" yelled the teenaged form Koenma and slammed the door right before the sword impaled his head. Koenma slowly opened the door and gagged at the sword sticking out of the door.

"I win," said Hiei with his katana pointed at Rei's neck. Koenma came up and glared at them.

"His fault," Rei said pointing at Hiei. He glared at her.

"My fault? You're the one who sucks at swordsmanship!" yelled Hiei.

"I only had one sword and it wasn't even mine!"

"Only one sword?" asked Koenma.

"They only gave me one," said Rei.

"Whatever, I need to talk to," Koenma looked at the others, "Alone." The others left. But then Yusuke came back.

"I'll just get this out of your way," he said pulling the sword out of the door. It took him a couple of pulls to get it out but he did. They waited for Yusuke to leave before talking.

"I hate fighting with one sword. I feel so…so incomplete," said Rei.

"Then here," Said Koenma. He handed Rei three swords. She grew a big smile and grabbed them. She looked so happy but then the happiness turned into a glare and she held out her hand. "Okay but before I give you these, do not I repeat DO NOT BLOW UP THE HOUSE!"

"Me blow up the house? Geez Koenma have a little more faith in me. Now hand them over." Koenma handed her two guns in their cases. "Yay!"

"I was told you ran away."

"Yeah, so?"

"Don't worry I'm not taking you back. You'd just run away again. So you're going to stay on the Urameshi Team for awhile." Koenma started to walk out. "This time, don't run away."

I wanted to say 'I won't'. I knew I didn't want to run but fear…it can do many things to you.

"Tomorrow you can go to the Spirit World Shopping Center for new stuff. Only the essentials, though. Just tell the ogres to put it on my tab."

"Okay, bye!" said Rei as she ran out.

"So I never asked this but what's with the sun on Fangs head?" asked Yusuke. The gang, including Yukina and Kayko, was in the living room playing poker. Well expect Hiei he was at the window. Everyone looked up at Rei.

"Yeah, I was wondering the same thing," said Kuwabara.

"Um…well…it's his birthmark, I guess," said Rei looking at Fang who was lying right beside her. "He's had it ever since I knew him."

"How long have you known him?" asked Kurama.

"Hm…As long as I can remember. Straight flush! I win!"

"Aw man!" yelled Yusuke and Kuwabara.

"So what you guys have?" asked Rei.

"Two 10's," said Yusuke.

"A pair of 2's," said Kuwabara.

"A regular straight," said Kurama.

"I have nothing," said Kayko.

"Um…I have this," said Yukina. Everyone went bug eyed and Rei started to cry.

"Yukina that's a royal straight flush!" yelled Kayko.

"Is that good?"

"That beats Rei! You win!"

"Oh, I did? Sorry Rei-chan!"

"Baby, you don't have to apologize to her," said Kuwabara holding both of her hands. Hiei growled confusing Rei.

"But she was so happy," said Yukina

"It's okay Yukina. It's just a game. A game I was so close of winning!" cried Rei. "To think this is her first time playing poker." Everyone was laughing when Botan came in.

"You guys, your portal's here," she said. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kayko, Kurama, and Yukina got up.

"Thank you Botan," said Kurama.

"Where you going?" asked Rei.

"We're going home," said Kayko.

"We got school tomorrow," said Kuwabara.

"Only because Kayko's making me," grumbled Yusuke and Kayko slapped him. "OW!"

"I have to go back to my island," said Yukina.

"Don't worry we'll be back by the end of the week. Unless we have a mission or Yusuke decides to skip."

"Which he won't!" yelled Kayko. Yusuke sighed.

"Oh…Okay bye," said Rei. Everyone left except Hiei, Rei, Botan, and Fang.

"So I guess it's just us," said Rei.

"I'm afraid not Rei," said Botan, "I have to do my shift. I'll be back by Wednesday. Bye!"

"Well then I guess it's just me, Fang, and Hiei," said Rei.

"Hn." Hiei turned around and went to the back door.

"Hey where're you going?" yelled Rei.

"Out."

"Just me and you Fang," Rei looked at Fang to see he was staring out the window and she sighed. "You can leave if you want to."

"You sure?" asked Fang.

"Yeah and don't talk. Who knows if Hiei's eavesdropping."

"Grow," Fang disappeared and Rei went up to her room. When she got there she looked at the white walls.

"This place makes my feel like I should wear a straight jacket," she said. The shadowy figure that appeared last night came back.

"Then paint it," it said.

"What color?"

"Black with red flames."

"Maybe. But not red."

"Why?"

"It's the color of blood."

"Hn."

"You sound like Hiei."

"No he sounds like me, I'm older."

"I would hope so."

"What's that suppose to me?"

"Exactly what it sounds like."

"Good night Rei."

"Night Ki-Ki!"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

"Ki-Ki!" The shadowy figure disappeared. "I'm alone again. Guess I should be use to it."
