Propositions


L.A.: (grins sheepishly) Er, so yeah. I have been gone awhile.

Amu: (glances out window) You know, there are people with pitchforks and torches outside our house.

L.A.: heh, heh, sorry for the long delay. A lot of stuff happened which I'd rather not get into. On the bright side, this entire time hasn't been a waste.

Amu: Yesh, she is in a fiction class.

L.A.: Where I have to write stories, get them ripped apart in workshop, then come out feeling like a failure in life.

Amu: Way off topic.

L.A.: (clears throat) But it is making me a better writer. (stands proudly) I think…

Out-Of-Control-Authoress: Thanks for the review. Poor Akira. He's just arrive and he's receiving hate mail.

PinkxXxPoisonxXxLemonade: Thanks for the review. Amu says hi to you and your muse as well. I don't let her talk in these because she rambles on and on about stuff that doesn't pertain to anything and (gets death glare from Amu) I'm just going to stop now.

Spidey meets Wizard-Theif: Thanks for the review, you two. Yeah, Kurama was supposed to be hinting that he knew. Ha, I had kind of forgotten that there was a Tori in Warrior Pigeon, nice W.T. Aw, Akira got a death threat but he is such a cute little fox. (Hugs Akira. Akira stares at her creepily) Er, never mind. You're a creeper.

Angel of Randomosity: Thanks for the review. Eh, nargals never let anyone know about their world domination schemes. I've tried to crash their meetings but they always seem to elude me. Probably because they keep stealing my socks…

UpperClassK9: Thanks for the review. Yeah, they aren't very good yu yu fans but this is Sira and Tori we are talking about. Tori just wasn't paying attention while Sira was being… Sira.

Heavensblackcat: Thanks for the review. Yeah Akira rhymes. He's creepy like that.

Yume ninja: Thanks for the review. Nargals and Luna Lovegood are what make Harry Potter amazing. I'm excluding the fact that the series is called Harry Potter and Luna Lovegood doesn't come till later books, of course.

Valinor's Twilight: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you are enjoying it.

Animegirl2961: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you like the story so far.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. If I did there would be Nargals…enough said.


Sira sighed as she found herself on the outskirts of the temple. She had been daydreaming so much that she failed to notice how far away she gotten.

I'm such a space case today, she thought as she leaned against a tree.

"Do you always walk around with that idiotic expression on your face?" A voice asked from above her.

She glanced up and smirked. "Well, hello to you too, Hiei." She felt a prick in her neck and slapped it. "Stupid mosquitoes. I can't even escape them in this world."

"Where's the runt?" Hiei asked from his perch.

Sira leaned against the tree again. "You mean, your spirit beast? Probably stalking Akira. He really doesn't trust him." She glanced back up at Hiei. "Does that mean that you don't trust Akira either?"

"I don't trust anyone," Hiei said as he hopped down and landed next to her.

"Aw, you have trust issues," Sira said. "And here I thought we were best friends." Sira frowned as she had a sudden sense of vertigo.

"That's strange," she said as she stumbled forward.

She felt a hand on her shoulder steadying her. Her ears were pounding as her vision started to tunnel.

Moments later, she woke up again face first in the dirt.

She quickly sat up and spat out dirt. "Thanks a lot Hiei." She frowned when she noticed she was alone.

"He has trust issues but he sure as hell doesn't have abandonment issues," Sira said angrily.


Tori found herself dragging her gaze once again away from Kurama. For the past hour, Rinku had been talking about what was happening in Makai.

She had tried to listen but her mind kept wandering back to Kurama. She was slightly annoyed with the fact that he seemed completely fine with staying friends. Granted, it was her own fault for saying that they should be friends but he seemed to have given up so easily.

Her gaze had wandered towards him again and this time he caught her looking at him.

Tori excused herself with Akira quietly trotting after her. She had to get her mind off her problems. She sighed as she glanced back at Akira. "We better go find Sira. Knowing her, she probably will get in trouble."


From a nearby tree, Etheria watched. "Phase 1 complete," she said with a grin. "On with phase 2." She giggled. "Let the fun begin."


Sira let out a groan as she finally reached the temple. It felt like it had taken forever to get back. Plus, she had been creeped out by the fact that she hadn't heard any natural sounds. Also, the sky had turned a purple hue which she was pretty sure wasn't normal.

As she went to open the door, the sound of a heart monitor reached her ears. She whirled around and the sound disappeared.

"That was…weird," she said as she entered the temple.

All the lights were off. The only sound she heard was the creaking of the floor boards.

"Hello?" Sira called as she walked down the hallway. "Anybody here?"

As she entered the nearest room, she was greeted by the sound of static.

"They say that when one door closes another one opens," a voice said.

Sira whirled around and saw a hooded figure sitting in a chair.

"What happens," the hooded figure continued. "if that other door is locked?"

Sira frowned as she crossed her arms. "Who are you?"


"Sira!" Tori called as she wandered aimlessly around the temple grounds.

"Nulaaak!" Akira said.

Tori tapped her foot impatiently. "Where did that girl go?"

"Are you lost?" a sinister yet familiar voice said.

Etheria stood before them as mist bellowed around them.

Akira growled as he pawed the ground.

Etheria frowned at him. "I didn't expect to see your kind around here."

"What do you want?" Tori said with a glare.

Etheria smiled at her. "I just wanted to talk." She flung her hand up nonchalantly. "You know, let bygones be bygones and all that good stuff."

Tori laughed. "Like I would trust you."

Etheria sighed. "Yes, I guess you wouldn't. Why would you care when you have such a hunk of a fox demon looking after you."

Tori wavered slightly at the mention of Kurama.

"I mean, the way he protects you," Etheria continued, "It makes me jealous. I wish I had a love like that." She paused as she glanced back at Tori. "But from your expression, things aren't going so well in the love department."

"Leave me alone," Tori said as she turned away from her, trying to fight back the sudden tears that were forming in her eyes.

"Aw you poor thing," Etheria said as she walked gracefully toward her. "You're in love aren't you? But the truth is you two can never be together."

She felt a pain in her chest as soon as she heard the words. She was unable to stop the few tears that ran down her cheek. The mist seemed to grow thicker around them.

Akira spat at Etheria as he put his back up against Tori.

"It must hurt so much," Etheria said. "Knowing that. But, I can help you."

"Help me?" Tori said, her tongue feeling thick in her mouth.

"Yes, I can make all those bad feelings go away." Etheria leaned towards her ear and whispered. "I can erase your feelings of love for him. All you have to do is say yes."


Sira glared at the hooded figure before her. "Do you think you can scare me with the hooded cloak trick? I know you aren't a grim reaper. I'm friends with one."

"I never said I was," the figure stood up. "I'm a dream reaper. You see me as your subconscious sees me."

Sira frowned. "So, I'm dreaming?"

"Only you know that," the figure said as it floated across the room. "Don't you have a more important question to ask?"

Sira nodded. "Yeah, I do. Why are you here?"

A pair of red slit eyes stared out from the hood. "A good question. Your answer: I'm here to take you home."


L.A.: So yeah, this will make sense, I promise. I know this chapter is weird and the next chapter will be weird as well. Gah! Lost withdrawals. (huddles in corner)

Amu: Lost is a good series. If you haven't watched it, go buy the first season and start. Do it ( tries to hypnotize audience) do it now.

L.A.: (appears out of nowhere) Gah! I need to write the next chapter now! I have too many ideas. (precedes to bang head into wall)

Amu: I can't wait till Sunday. That's when L.A. can eat potato chips, ice cream, and watch the fourth season of Lost. Then she'll be normal. (watches L.A.) I think.

L.A.: Anywho, you know what to do. Read and review!

Amu: You rhymed. Evil!!!!!!!!!
