Disclaimer: I don't own YYH. If I did, there would be another season and more romance.
Keep this in mind readers!
Story Format as always:
****READERS KEEP THIS IN MIND****
Youko's Thoughts: ^Have you ever taken a moment to ponder why? ^
Kurama speaking to Youko in his head/his own thoughts: *Yes, of course…though about what exactly? *
Inner thoughts of other characters: 'Bro, I literally question everything. I can be kinda annoying. Not gonna lie.'
Hiei's Inner thoughts/ speech when he is talking to someone in their head: ~There are some subjects that don't deserve an answer. Keep that in mind. ~
A Few Inventions from the Spirit Lab! (Really my creations…-cue evil laugh-)
Articulation gum: The user gains the ability to speak any language temporally as long as it is carved into the gum itself and spelled properly. This gum requires a bit of spirit energy. Over time it is possible to gain the ability semi-permanently. The downside is a horrible lingering bitter taste and must be swallowed at exactly the right time otherwise one will speak the language backward. (The same thing will happen if it is spelled incorrectly)
Spirit Bands: Comes in various colors, it appears as a typical rubber/silicon wrist band, however, it contains excess spirit energy in case of emergencies. The phrase 'Spirited' is on all bands. The only side effect is the material may be a possible minor skin irritant.
Healing Seeds: An exclusive Kurama invention and can only be powered by him! Light tan, tiny bean size seeds that heal minor demon injuries while for human injuries it heals drastically. However, overuse can render them useless. Kurama must apply a bit of his healing power for them to work. Side effects may include the taste of dirt, dizziness, confusion, and tiredness.
Healing Paste: Another one of Kurama's inventions, has the same consistency of Aloe Vera, slime, or green hair gel, but is a duller shade of lime green. This product uses a combination of human and demon world plants and minimal spirit energy. Depending on one's pain tolerance, endurance, and species stinging may range from mild to severe (Typically for humans the pain will be excruciating). This product can be used by anyone who has spirit energy.
Demon Healing Seeds: Another exclusive Kurama powered invention item! Coffee bean-like in appearance and color these seeds pack a punch for healing. Made consistently of demon hybrid plants and requires larger amounts of Kurama's healing power to function properly. Side effects may include stinging in areas of healing, and apparently in humans weakens their sense over their emotions (Similar to the effects of drinking alcohol).
Portal Sealing Solution: A sticky purple substance that is used to close portals to different locations. Requires spirit energy and can only be applied by 'grim reapers' because of their distinct auras.

Chapter 32: White Strawberries, A Dressing Room, and Orange Specks
｡･:*:･ﾟ,｡･:*:･ﾟ
(Day 4) 12:50 pm
2nd Earth, Human Realm, The Middle East, Qatar
Third Person POV:
As soon as Botan swoops down onto the beach in Qatar for a break, her phone indicates her of portal activity and she makes her way to Chad, Africa.
In the Yu Yu Hakusho world, Yukina and Keiko are going about their day back at home in a normal manner; or so they think.
(DAY 4) 4:25 pm
Yu Yu Hakusho World, Japan
Genkai's Temple/forest:
Yukina strolls humming a quiet tune as she gazes at the trees and birds. Smiling to herself, she ponders if she can find more wild strawberry patches; like she did the last time she went for a walk.
"Oh, what a beautiful sky…" She utters to herself but can't help but slightly frown as the concealed uncertainties surface from the back of her mind.
'I wonder how Hiei and Kazuma are doing?' Yukina ponders. Her eyes wander downward to a necklace Kazuma had gifted her the last time they were together. He had remembered Yukina had a similar necklace and got it as a birthday gift. It was a gorgeous jewel that reminded her of her mother's tear gem. She smiles and recalls back to when she gave Hiei her gem, it just felt right to have given it to him.
"When I get back, I should write Kazuma back." The two exchange letters the old-fashioned way, and although Kuwabara had a cell, Yukina was a bit wary of technology. Orange top was becoming busier with his human studies and promised to visit as soon as he completed his exams but was unfortunately pulled into a mission with Hiei and Yusuke.
'I hope I can see the two of them soon…'
The mint haired girl's search is over! At last, the spectacle of red specks and green patches are in sight.
Once again, she begins to smile, momentarily forgetting her previous thoughts. With a beige woven basket in her arms, she leisurely begins to fill it with plump red strawberries.
"I wonder if I can try out that Frosty Strawberry Pie recipe in that American cookbook, I bought the other day."
As she nearly fills the basket to the brim, she spots an odd sight- a white strawberry.
"I thought strawberries stayed green when they aren't ready…? How strange…" Yukina muses out loud.
Something compels her to taste the unusual berry, and she pulls out a water bottle from her bag and washes it energetically.
As she takes her first bite of the plump fruit, a sweet but peculiar taste fills her mouth.
"Wow," She smiles to herself, amazed at how different the white strawberry tastes compared to a red one.
Grinning ear to ear, she decides to also try another recipe with the other white strawberry patches.
'I've always wanted to make a strawberry fruit tart…maybe I will try that.'
As her hand delicately touches another plump white strawberry, an orange bright speck begins to form on the white strawberry.
Slightly startled she removes her hand and stares in confusion at the light, which grows rapidly to the size of a full body sized mirror.
"Oh my gosh!" She shouts and before she can stand it swallows her whole, basket included. The only thing remaining of her presence is some of her freshly picked red strawberries, spilled on to the dirt.

Kaidan Shopping Center and Mall:
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
The song blares loudly throughout the colorful department store.
"Hey, Keiko, what do you think of this dress?" A small girl with short brown hair and dark square glasses questions another coffee color haired female.
My neighbors think I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have
Oh, Natsuko, must you always pick something so short!" Keiko scolds her with a slight frown.
"Come on girl, it is really pretty!" Another chick with twin blonde ponytails and red hair ties shouts with a smile.
"Still, Stephanie I think it isn't conservative enough for me." Keiko states, thinking about the purple dress Natsuko is holding up to her face.
Keiko alongside with her two good school friends Natsuko and Stephanie are at the mall trying to find an adorable dress for the cheerful ex-class rep.
At night when the stars
Light on my room
I sit by myself
"But Keiko, it's all the rage in other countries!" Stephanie states, trying to force the dress upon the class rep.
"Hey, and even this magazine says it's a cool American trend!" Natsuko excitedly presses her finger into the random article.
"Uh…it might be an American trend, but I think I'd rather just do my own thing, girls." Keiko states, flashing them a half smile.
Talking to the moon, tryin' to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Oh, am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon
(Talking to the Moon-By Bruno Mars)
Stephanie's brown eyes bore holes into Keiko's and finally she states, "Fine, I'll try it on, but I also want to pick something I like too!"
An appealing shade of sapphire catches the class rep's eyes and she brightens greatly.
"Oh wow, this is really cute!" She says with glee. The dress is a blue laced one with half sleeves, and with a flared skirt that stops right below the knee.
"I want to try this one first, then I'll put on your purple dress, okay?" Keiko says and the two girls nod silently as she walks towards the dressing room.
"I think that dress it is ugly, it doesn't show enough skin." Stephanie says as she sweeps back one of her blonde pigtails.
"It just doesn't follow the cool trends; maybe I should get that purple dress in green…" Natsuko mumbles.
ˏ⸉ˋ‿̩͙‿̩̩̥͙̽‿̩͙ ‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̥͙̽‿̩͙ˊ⸊ˎ
Keiko stares up at herself clad in the short purple dress, clearly uncomfortable.
"It's scary short, this thing could seriously send out the wrong message…urg." She utters to herself. Suddenly, the thought of Yusuke pops into her mind.
'Bet he'd like this thing; it would be an easier excuse for him to act like a little perv.' She somewhat laughs and disrobes the lacy purple.
"So, Keiko did you put on the purple dress?" Stephanie requests cheerfully.
"I did, but…it's too much…" Keiko mutters. "It's just too short for my comfort."
"Aw, Natsuko you were right, Keiko doesn't like to follow any cool trends!" Stephanie comments.
The dull brown eyed Natsuko laughs quietly and then says; "Well, we still want to see Keiko!"
Just as the class rep zips up the navy-blue lace dress, she stares into the mirror with a frown.
'Even Yusuke wouldn't like this dress…but why can't I just be myself…?' She ponders to herself gloomily, and precipitously spots a tiny orange blur in corner of the changing stall.
"What is that?" Keiko queries loudly, unknowingly she clutches her purse and when she takes a step back and rubs her eyes; the blur develops into a massive bright hole.
"Oh my god!" Keiko squeaks and just as she unlatches the changing room door, she is sucked into the portal to god knows where.
"Keiko? What was that light?" Stephanie asks, puzzled as to why Keiko is yelling.
The door swings open and both Natsuko's and Stephanie's dull eyes widen to enormous saucers.
"Where…did she go?" Natsuko inquiries.
"She…she…she DITCHED US!" Stephanie shouts angrily.
"I-I can't believe her! Urg." The squared glasses chick growls. "Let's go to Daimaru next."
Oddly enough the only thing left of Keiko's presence is the short purple dress she wasn't fond of.
To be continued….
