I really didn't like this chapter so I revised it and I was happily able to fix Kuwabara's OOCness. Sorry if you liked it, but personally I think this is much better. It's a bit of a change, but the important parts are intact. Enjoy

Chapter 7 Revised

"TS, is that your full name, sweetheart

"T.S., is that your full name, sweetheart?" asked the teacher. T.S. looked down at her feet in 'shy' sort of way and nodded her head yes. "Tell us about yourself."

"Okay, well I'm fourteen, I moved here from California, and I like to race motorcycles-"

"Hey, I almost got ran over by a motorcycle yesterday!" interrupted Yusuke.

"Yeah, sorry about that." The whole class cracked out in hysterical laughter at T.S.' reply.

Yusuke jumped up from his seat. "You looking for a fight girl?!"

"Sorry, but I don't need your blood on my clothing." The class laughed again as Yusuke started to rant about how she'd lose.

"Settle down class! T.S. that was not necessary. Please take a seat." T.S. walked over and sat next to Yusuke in the back of class. The teacher got a sweat drop and sighed.

T.S. stared at Yusuke, studying her subject. Yusuke looked at her and saw her staring at him. "Stop looking at me." Said Yusuke, in a hushed tone. Hearing this Keiko looked at T.S. and gave her a death glare. T.S. noticed this and gave Keiko a friendly wave, then turned back to Yusuke.

"So I'm guessing she's the girlfriend?" T.S. motioned towards to Keiko.

"Uh…"

"Yep," said T.S., "definitely the girlfriend." Yusuke gave T.S. a weird look that made her shut up.

T.K. walked into the next classroom with Kuwabara following. She looked around and spotted T.S. and Yusuke in the middle of a circle of students. She pushed her way through the crowd and found that the two were arguing. "Screw you gel boy, I'll take you right here, right now."

"Screw me? No, screw you!"

"Your girlfriend might not like it if you do that. Besides you're not my type." T.S. turned around and saw T.K. "I'm so done here, let's go." She said walking to T.K.

"We've been here one day and you're already starting fights?"

"It wasn't me. He started it and why is that ape following us?" She motioned to Kuwabara next to them.

"He said he wanted to meet the exchange students."

"Okay well that solves one thing, but why is he staring like I stole something?"

"Huh?" TK turned to Kuwabara.

"What?"

"Why do you keep looking at us like we're about to sprout another head?"

"Eh? I don't know what you mean." Kuwabara quickly turned his head to look at anything else.

"Well let's sit down and eat." T.S. said, changing the subject as she pulled up a chair the others following suit. T.K. are you reading my mind right now? …Okay, well I feel dumb; I'm talking to myself in my mind.

Kuwabara continued to watch the girls with a strange look on his face. What are these strange vibes I'm getting from these girls?

T.S.' thoughts were interrupted by T.K.'s voice in her head. –I think Kuwabara's more spiritually aware than we thought.-

-What did he say?-

-He's getting strange vibes from us. He's suspicious.-

-Just keep playing it cool. Don't let him know you can read his thoughts.-

-Of course not.- T.K. sighed, "This day needs to end."

"Yes, but the second it does we go on patrol. Awe, I want to cuddle with Rocky, he makes everything better. Why couldn't he be a human?" T.S. said with a sigh.

"I know exactly what you mean, I miss Bandit too. He must be so bored. I should buy him some chicken on the way home."

"Dude, Bandit wouldn't make a good human, he would probably kill someone and do you think we have money to spare? I told you, we need to save what little we have so they have to eat dog food."

"You just don't understand him. But you're right about the chicken. Rocky and Bandit as humans… hmmm… I wonder what they'd look like."

"Well I bet Rocky would be hot, but I'd also bet 50 that Bandit would be really short."

"That's so sad! How can you say that!"

"Well he's a small dog so he'd probably be a small guy."

"Tch. You're so mean. But it doesn't matter anyway. I don't care about height."

"Yeah you're right, I'd date anyone who could kick my ass, but that hasn't happened yet and therefore I'm… single."

"Well you never know. Maybe one day Rocky will burst out in the kung fu."

"Lol. You're funny. That would be so cool, the dogs could come on patrol with us."

"That'd be so cool."

"What are you two talking about?"

"Oh, Kuwabara. I forgot you were here."

-Did we say that out loud? Oh well, it's time for class. T.K. keep your mind on, literally. I don't want to get bored.-

-Okay, I'll see you after school.-

-Just make sure you talk to me during class or I'll be pissed. I have to sit next to gel boy.-

-Well better gel boy than Bigfoot. "Later."

"See ya."

xxxxxxx After School xxxxxx

T.K. stepped onto the sidewalk outside of the school and went down on her knees. "Finalllllyyyyy!!" T.S. came up beside her from out of nowhere.

"Oh come on, it wasn't that bad."

"Speak for yourself. How long do we have to come here? Let me guess: until we don't need to come here anymore?"

"Exactly and you didn't even have to read my mind. So why did you ask if you know the answer?"

"Because I wouldn't have gotten the answer if I hadn't asked. Can we go now?"

"Yes, we need to start patrol anyway. Now that we're in school we have to start one hour later which means we'll stay out an hour later."

"Urgh. At least I don't have any homework."

"It's not like it would be hard anyway. We already took these classes once and we passed. It should make this time twice as easy."

"Yes and twice as boring. Let's go."

"Okay."

'How long does school take?'

'It goes to 3:30, but after that they go on patrol, so I don't know how long they'll be.'

'Hn. I'm hungry. I can't believe I'm saying this, but T.K. needs to feed me.'

'Why not T.S.? Is she not good enough for you or are you in love?'

'Don't even star Kurama. T.S. would probably just give me that horrible dog food.'

'Well it's not like they have enough money to feed us a 5 star meal every night.'

'Well they could at least give us real food. It's not like we eat as much as them.'

'It's not like they eat a lot anyway.'

'Exactly.' Hiei paused for a moment before continuing, 'Being stuck in this house is driving me crazy. They should take us for walks when they get back. I can't believe I said that…'

'It seems you are adjusting to the life of a dog just fine,' Kurama let out a small chuckle.

'That's not funny Kurama.'

'I thought it was.'

'Hn.' Hiei looked out the window as the phone rang. 'Who would be calling?'

'I don't know.' The answering machine picked up and Kurama and Hiei heard a familiar voice.

"Hey girls! How's it going? It's Yusuke—"

"And Kuwabara!" Kuwabara interrupted.

"Move idiot! Anyway, we called to—" the answering machine clicked and Yusuke was cut off before he could finish talking.

'What do those bakas think they're doing?'

'Who knows. We'll see if they call back. Aren't they supposed to be looking for us? Not picking up girls.'

'The bakas are probably taking a "break".'

'Are they ever going to work?'

'I don't think so, especially not without us there to push them.'

'You never know. Yusuke will work hard if he's given the proper motivation. '

"Finally, we're home!"

"Man that took forever. Hey is spaghetti alright for dinner, I just want to make something simple."

"Whatever, that's fine, thanks." T.K. picked up Hiei. "Hey, was your day boring like mine? T.S. look we have a message! Who'd call us?"

"I don't know who has our number?" asked T.S. coming back out of the kitchen.

"I don't know. I didn't give it to anybody." T.K. pressed the play button and they listened to the message that Yusuke and Kuwabara left.

"OMG! How'd those morons get our number?"

"I don't know. I hope they don't have our address!" The doorbell rang and the girls exchanged glances.

"I'm not answering it and if it's them I'm not home…" The bell rang again. "Well go get it T.K."

"What? Why me? You go get it."

"No, they like you, I'd just start a fight and I can't very well find out about him if he's dead."

"Yeah right. I'll just see who it is." T.K. looked through the peephole.

"So who is it?"

"Crap it's them."

T.K. and T.S. heard Yusuke from the other side of the door. "Open up guys we can hear you talking."

"No you can't! No one's home!" T.K. yelled back. T.S. gave her a weird look.

"Do we look stupid to you?" Came Kuwabara's loud voice.

"Don't know. Can't see you. Not here."

'Oh yes, that'll really work.' Muttered Hiei.

"Oh okay, I guess they're not here. We'll come back later."

"Don't be stupid. Come on open up, I know you're in there."

"That may be, but the real question is who is in here." Said T.S.

"I recognize your voice T.S."

"Do you? Or are you just so sure of whom you think it is that you think you recognize the voice, when in reality you don't."

"Well you're too confusing to sound like anyone else."

"You may have a point there. So why are you here? Want another fight?" challenged T.S.

"Or are you out of hair gel?"

"You guys don't have hair gel. We just need to talk."

"What's the problem, did the math homework get too hard for you?"

"Why don't you open the door and find out."

"Fine. T.K. open the door for them."

"Fine." T.K. unbolted the door and opened it.

"Well you got nice digs, I'll say that much," said Yusuke as he walked into the living room.

"What do you want?" T.S. watched Yusuke carefully.

"Yeah, we don't have time to entertain you. We have lives of our own you know."

"Wow, easy now. We're looking for some friends of ours. A 'little demon'," Yusuke used his fingers to show quotations, "told us that they were here, have you seen them? One's short and wears all black with black hair that defies gravity."

"Wow, someone uses more gel than you?" mocked T.K.

'My hair grows like that naturally!' growled Hiei.

"The other one is tall with long red hair like hers," he pointed to T.K., "They're a couple of hard characters to miss."

"Well why are you looking for these people, um, guys?" asked T.S.

"I told you, they're our friends."

'Why did they come looking for us here?'

'Interesting.'

"Would this red head be the Kurama guy you thought I was?" T.K. addressed Kuwabara.

"That's right. And the other guy's name is Hiei."

"So have you seen them or what?" demanded Yusuke.

"No we haven't and why are you asking us anyway? Are you going door to door or something?" T.S. cocked an eyebrow.

"Well you know you don't get red hair like yours in Japan very often. I thought maybe you captured Kurama and skinned him to make a wig or something." Yusuke said offhandedly. T.K. and T.S. looked at each other with raised eyebrows.

'That's very… creative Yusuke.'

'Hn.'

"Is he crazy?" T.K. whispered to T.S. who could only shrug.

Yusuke took the opportunity to whisper to Kuwabara. "I can't feel Hiei or Kurama's spirit energy. Can you?"

"Sorta. It's like there's a fog surrounding them. I know they're near, but I can't tell exactly where."

'If Kuwabara is still pick up trace amounts of our spirit energy we may be able to use that to our advantage.'

'What are you thinking?'

'Later. For now let's keep focused on the conversation at hand.'

"Look guys, as much as we'd like to help you find your friends we don't know anything. I'm sure we'd remember seeing a couple of strange looking characters like them." Yusuke and Kuwabara exchanged looks.

"Well if you see them let us know."

"Sure Yusuke, we'll be sure to do that." Yusuke and Kuwabara looked around the room again before making their way out of the apartment.

"That was weird. I thought they'd get suspicious of us, but accusing us of kidnapping? That's not something I was expecting."

"Yeah and now we also have to find out about this Kurama and Hiei," said T.S.

"Well in the mean time I say we relax and take Rocky and Bandit for walks."

"You know this is kind of an important issue we're dealing with T.K."

"Yes, but we can't do anything about it now so we might as well get on with the lives you told Yusuke we had."

"I guess so. Rocky and I will take the south route."

"Okey dokey artichokey. Let's go north Bandit," T.K. grabbed a leash from the hall closet then left with Hiei.

"This is so much better than being stuck in the apartment all day, isn't it boy?"

'Yes, but you still need to feed me. I refuse to eat that dog food. I'm not a dog. Well, not really a dog anyway. Urgh! This is frustrating, you can't even understand me!'

"Rocky, where are they boy? It's almost eleven and we went for a walk at eight. Do you think she's okay?' Kurama rubbed up against her leg to comfort her. "Your right. I'm probably worrying about nothing, but if she's not home by the time I leave for patrol she's gonna get it." The door opened and T.K. walked in followed by Hiei.

"Hey T.S." She yawned.

"Where the hell have you been?"

"Walking, running, doing stairs, the usual. Bandit led me through an obstacle course all around the city."

"Do you know what time it is?"

"No idea. But I do know that both Bandit and I are in great physical condition. I thought little dogs got tired really quick, but he just kept going."

"T.K., I go on my midnight patrol in less than an hour. You have to be up for your patrol in less than five hours and you don't get to sleep again afterwards because we have to go to school."

"It's that late already? I don't believe it!" T.K. sighed, "I am going to be so dead tomorrow."

'I'm assuming, Hiei, that I was your idea to do all the running?'

'I wanted to see if she was in shape. She did all right, I guess.'

'Coming from you that must mean she did extremely well.'

'Don't think too much of it. It was just a run.'

'Of course, whatever you say.'

'Hn. I'm going to bed.'

"I'm going to bed, I'll see you in five hours. Come on Bandit."

"Well Rocky since I'll be leaving soon what do you say you and I watch the news and find out where I'll be needed tonight?"
