For the ninth time revisions, but for the seventh time only minor revisions. Hope you guys appreciate all the work I went through to fix these. Chapters 6 and 7 especially. I know you prefer updates though so I'll keep working on chapter 11!
Chapter 9
"That's not an answer."
"Well that's your problem."
"It's not like it's that hard of a question."
"Why are you being so nosy?'
"I'm not being nosy, I'm just curious."
"Curiosity killed the cat you know."
"I'm not a cat and you're avoiding the question."
"So what if I am, what are you going to do? Gel me to death?"
"Stop making jokes about my hair, besides, I'd prefer pummeling you into the ground."
"Why do you waste your breath threatening me? You know it's impossible for you to beat me."
"Just answer the question."
"No, I don't think I will."
"Then I have another question for you."
"What?"
"What kind of name is 'T.S.'?"
"You don't like it?"
"Well what kind of parents would name their kid 'T.S.'? Where'd they get that from?"
"So my parents were hippies. Are you going to hold that against me?"
"Well… Hey, T.S.?"
"What?"
"Where were you last night?"
"Would you stop asking me that?"
"It's just a simple question, it's not like I'm asking you get jiggy with it. I just want to know where you were."
"'Get jiggy with it?' What's wrong with you?"
"Just answer the question!" Yusuke stood up out of frustration, but as he did the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day.
"Oh, to bad, it's time to go." T.S. started walking out of the classroom with the rest of the class, but Yusuke didn't move. Before she reached the door T.S. turned back to Yusuke. "If it's that important to you, I was at home watching T.K. fail miserably trying to train her dog." With that she turned and left.

"YUKINA!"
"Hello, Kazuma! Yusuke! It's so nice to see both of you!"
"Not as nice as it is to see you! The bonds of love have brought us back together! It's destiny!"
"Cool it lover boy," said Yusuke as he hit Kuwabara on the head, knocking him to the floor. "We got to talk to Genki."
"Well, how goes the investigation?" asked Genki as Yusuke and Kuwabara walked up to her.
"We haven't found anything. It's like Hiei and Kurama dropped off the face of the Earth."
"What about the two girls you thought were suspicious?"
"So far we haven't been able to get anything out of them. If they've done anything to Kurama or Hiei they're hiding it really well."
"Yeah, but there is definitely something strange about them. I get this feeling whenever I'm around them like they're hiding something. Suppressing their spirit energy maybe."
"This will require a deeper investigation. Yusuke, tomorrow when they're at school I want you to search their home."
"Hey what about me?"
"Kuwabara, I want you go to school and make sure they don't go home early and catch Yusuke in the act."
"I just hope their dogs don't attack me when I get there."

"Did he ask you the same question?" T.S. looked over at T.K. waiting for an answer.
"Yeah, I guess this means they're on to us." T.K. flopped down onto the couch in their living room.
"Well not necessarily, but they probably suspect us." T.S. sat down next to her.
"They'll probably follow us around to see what we do all day."
"I'm sure they'll want to search our apartment too."
"What should we let them find?"
"Well," said T.S. as she looked around the room, "I think we should leave the place as it is, except we should put up a big punching bag in your room, all our weights in my room and bring out some work out tapes."
"So they think we spend our time working out and they'll 'know' why we're so strong?"
"Yeah. We just need to hide all our stuff that has anything to do with demons or shows that we've been following them."
"Ooh! I just got a brilliant idea!"
"What?"
"We should make fake diaries! Then leave them somewhere where they'll be easily found so Yusuke and slash or Kuwabara can read them!" T.K. laughed as she imagined everything she would write.
"That's a good idea! Let's get to work!" They both went to their rooms and began hiding the evidence of their double lives.
'Yusuke and Kuwabara are going to have a few surprises for them when they get here.' Kurama stated, amazed with the way the girls seemed to know exactly what Yusuke was going to do.
'They know Yusuke's move before he does. They're a lot better at this than he is,' said Hiei smugly.
'Yes quite. What do you think they'll write in these fake diaries?'
'T.K. has a very over active imagination. She'll probably make up these humiliating stories and say they were dreams or something. What about T.S.?'
'It's hard to say. I imagine she'll write down observations that will be as insulting as possible. She seems to enjoy making Yusuke angry.'
'Maybe it's because she likes him.' Hiei cocked his would be eyebrow at Kurama.
'Don't be ridiculous!' said Kurama a little too fast. 'He's not her type.'
'Uh-huh.' Hiei went and watched T.K. put up a punching bag in her room, which had apparently been in her closet the whole time. T.S. came out to the living room with a diary and couple of movies that had some ugly looking buff men on them.
"This is going to be so funny. I can't wait until those two go through our things." She laid down on the floor next to Kurama and began to write entries in her new diary. "I don't know, Rocky when do you think I should write the first entry, I mean what should the first date be?"
'Well that is a difficult decision.'
"Oh, I know, I'll just do it on the first day of school."

"You know the plan right?"
"Of course I know the plan! Would you quit asking me already? Sheesh… I'm not an idiot you know."
"If you think so…"
"Hey what's that supposed to mean?"
"What's what supposed to mean? I don't know what you're talking about," said Yusuke innocently.
"Don't play stupid, Urameshi!"
"Hey, here they come. Make sure you don't act suspicious alright?"
"I'll be fine, just make sure you hurry. Don't go and spend all day over there."
"Right." Yusuke ducked down an alley and began to make his way toward the girls' apartment. Kuwabara made his way to the girls so that he could walk with them.
"Hey girls."
"Hey Kuwabara," replied T.K.
"Where's your buddy?" asked T.S.
"Ditching probably, he does that most of the school year."
"Really? That's very bad. Tsk tsk." T.K. scolded mockingly.
"Yeah, well he doesn't get along well with others and a lot of the kids are afraid of him. A few of the teachers got it in for us."
"Sounds like Yusuke needs a hug."
"Yeah I'll tell Keiko. I'm sure she'll be relieved that I don't want to give him one." T.S. and T.K. both laughed.
"Hey do you guys want to go to the arcade after school?" asked Kuwabara. The girls exchanged knowing glances.
"Sure," they replied in unison.

"Darn it! Why won't you open?" Yusuke continued to struggle with the lock on T.K.'s and T.S.' door. "I got to remember to thank Botan for this crappy lock picking kit." He struggled until he heard the click signaling the door was now unlocked. "Finally." Yusuke quickly stepped inside the apartment before another occupant of the building saw him.
As Yusuke entered the apartment he found himself in the presence of two dogs. "Nice dogs. You're not going to attack me are you?" The dogs merely cocked their heads in response. I'll take that as a no." Yusuke walked around the living room, but stopped when he saw the videos sitting on the TV. "Workout tapes? They actually watch these things?" Yusuke placed them back on the TV and headed down the hallway to the bedrooms.
"Let's see. If I were incriminating evidence where would I be?" He stepped into T.S.' room. "This looks like a good place to start."
'Yusuke is so predictable. He's making this too easy for them. Where did T.S. hide the diary?'
'Between the mattresses, Yusuke should find it fairly quickly. Where did T.K. hide her diary?'
'She used Velcro to stick it to the wall. She said it was "hiding in plain sight." I think she missed the "hiding" part of that concept.'
"Hello, what do we have here?" said Yusuke as he made an interesting discovery. "A diary? Perfect."
