STORY START.

AI'S POV.
"There she goes again..." you sighed in a whisper as your mother drunk her 5th beer, you stared at her in disgust as you stood protectively in front of your brother Kichirou as he cowered behind you. Your mother finished her beer and threw it at you you dodged easily, for as long as you could remember she always threw the beer bottles at you when she was drunk. "You woman! Get me another beer!" "You get them yourself." you replied calmly to her, she got up from the chair. Your brother grabbed your arm trying to pull you away from her but you stood your ground. She drunkenly walked up to you till she was right in your face, the smell of alcoholcoming off of her made you sick. "I said get me another beer your worthless pointy eared freak!" you didn't say anything, you just had a staring contest with her, "Feh." you said and turned around to walk away but she grabbed your ponytail and pulled back. "I SAID GET ME A BEER!" "AND I SAID GET IT YOURSELF!" she then threw you to the ground. "I. Said. Get. Me. A. Beer. Or are you to dumb to know what I said, you worthless ingrate." you got up off the floor and walked to the kitchen with your brother following not far behind. "Ai, I'm scared." said your 6 year old brother as tears started to form in his eyes. "Shhh, Kichirou, I will get us out of this, don't you worry." you hugged him then grabbed the beer for your mom and walked out of the kitchen. "Finally!" she said as she took the beer from you and started to chug it down. "Now get out of my face." she said sitting on her chair again, you took your brothers hand and lead him into the kitchen and out into the back yard. He then started crying, "Shhh, it's okay, I have a place we can go where we will never see that woman again." you said hugging him. You had him get on your back and you jumped the fence... you flew high in the air and landed on your hands and feet like a cat, your brother's hair was standing on end, "I-I-I didn't k-k-kn-know you could do that-t-t-t-t" he said as you pried him off. "Hahahaha," you laughed as you grabbed his hand again and pulled him into the forest, you both walked for hours in the dark, by now it was most likely three in the morning. "Koumori, I'm tired." "Don't worry, were almost there." you said picking up and holding him like a baby, cradled to your chest. After about 5 minutes you came to a cave, you set Kichirou down on his feet, "A cave? What are we doing here?" "This is the place I told you about." you said and walked into the cave with your brother right behind. Once you got to the deepest part of the cave you took out a lighter and lit a few torches, bathing the cave in light, your brother looked in awe as he saw that the cave was decorated and fixed like a house, there was an old beat up couch along with a table that you screwed back together. There was a twin bed with old sheets and an old quilt that your grandmother made, and the walls were decorated with pictures of you and your brother. "Welcome home." you told him and jumped onto the couch, and picked up a manga called Vampire Knight and started to read. Your brother just stood there. "What are we gonna do for food? And warmth in the winters? And what are we gonna do if some animal comes in?" "Do not worry yourself about that Kichirou, I've got that all figured out." you said picking up a scythe on a chain from under the couch.

YUSUKE'S POV.
You and the gang... minus Kurama... were all in Koenma's office. "Okay I have a mission for you all" "Hey what about Kurama?" you asked him. "Kurama... it would be bad for him for he would not be affective if he went on this mission. So I have gotten Boton to keep him busy."

KURAMA'S POV.
"Oh dear lord no." "Come on Kurama!" Boton yelled at you as you held ten bag full of clothes, *Why would she need clothes that are not even her style?* "Come on!" she said pulling you into a HotTopic.

YUSUKE'S POV.
"Why would it affect him?" "Because, have you ever heard of a Koumori Youkai by the name of Kuronue?" binky-breath asked you. "No." everyone was quiet. "Well," Koenma started bringing up one of the most wanted pictures of Kuronue from the Makai. "When Kurama was known as Youko Kurama he had a friend and partner by the name of Kuronue. When Kuronue died he was to be brought to me by Boton to be put in the deepest part of Spirit World prison, but, like Kurama, he escaped and entered the body of an unborn girl through reincarnation." just then he showed you a file with a picture in it of a teenage girl with black hair and blue eyes. "He is this girl." "Now what a minute, I'm confused. If he's a guy then why is he a girl?" asked Kuwabara, "Reincarnation is something that even the wisest of men do not even know. It is a strange thing." Koenma told him. "Ohhh... I still don't get it." Kuwabara replied. "Anyway, I need you to find this girl and bring her to me. Her name is Ai Hanako and she lives in America. Now get going. Another Dark Tournament is coming up and you all have been invited." "ANOTHER?!" you screeched, "Yes another." "I thought we got rid of it." "I did to now GO!" you walked out of Koenma's office with Kuwabara and Hiei in tow.

KICHIROU POV.
You were sitting on the bed reading the latest Inuyasha manga. It was by far your favorite. Your favorite character in it was Kohaku, and why, he reminded you of your sister in some ways. A howl was heard. You closed the book to see your sister closing her book too looking at the entrance of the cave with interest. She put down the book and reached under the couch she was sitting on and grabbed the scythe. "S-s-s-sister, what's wrong?" "Someone's out there." just then a big gust of wind came into the cave and blew out the torches. You jumped off the bed and ran over to your sister. "Ai, what's going on?" "Hide." "Why?" "Just do it." you ran and hid under the bed. All you could see were her feet as she walked backward toward the bed where you were hiding. You saw 4 sets of feet come into the cave. "Who are you? And why are you in my cave?" you heard your sister say bravely. "We need another member for our team, and your perfect." Just then you saw one of the feet run your way toward your sister, "Gah!" you heard as the guys feet went back a little. Just then two other pairs of feet started running at your sister too. They all overpowered your sister and you saw her fall to the floor, you saw a two sets of hands hold her down while one set held her head to the ground, and saw that the last set od hands were holding some sort of choker and put it on your sisters neck. They let her go and she shot up, "AHHHHHHH!" you saw electricity go through your as she fell to the floor. *Who are they? And what did they do to her?* you thought franticly. "See, I will push this button every time you disobey or try to hurt us. You belong to us now, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" you saw your sister being dragged out of the cave.

HIEI'S POV.
You, Urameshi and the baka ningen walked in a cave. You could smell that the girl was here, but there was a few other scents as well. You looked around to see that the table was broken and books were flung everywhere. *This can't be good* you thought as you heard screaming and you looked to see Yusuke pulling a little boy with black hair and red eyes out from under the bed. The boy started kicking and screaming. "LEMME GO!" you almost laughed when the boys foot came in contact with Yusuke's face, "I will! I just want to know where Ai is!" the boy stopped kicking and started crying. "These bad people came in and kidnapped her, they said they needed another member for their team." *Huh.* you thought in your head. "Okay guys, lets go and see if we can find them and get Ai." Yusuke started walking out of the cave till the boy grabbed his feet. "NO! DON'T LEAVE ME! I WANT AI!" "Then we will leave you with your mother." the boys eyes widened, "NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!" *I wonder why a boy would not want to go back home with his mother.* you thought as the boy started anime crying at Yusuke's feet. "Okay, okay, okay you can come with us." "YAY! I GET TO SEE AI AGAIN!"

AI'S POV.
You woke up in a dark room, you got up and tried to walk but found that you were chained to the wall behind you. You pulled on the chains. "Ah no good, the chains wont budge." you said sitting down in defeat, just then you remembered what happened. *I hope Kichirou is okay* "Ah good, your awake, now we can start your training." You looked to your left to see the men that kidnapped you, one had brown hair and yellow eyes, one had red hair and black eyes, one had black hair and green eyes and the one who must be the leader had white hair and red eyes. "I am Daiki," said the one with white hair, "I am a Inu Youkai." "I am Haru" said the black haired green eyed guy, "I am a shadow Youkai." "Heh, I am Jiro, I am a Neko Youkai" said the one with brown hair. "And I am Kenta babe, I'm a bird Youkai." you didn't say anything, just stared at them. Jiro walked up to you and unchained your chains, "BAD MOVE!" you said and punched Jiro between the eyes sending him flying Kenta and Haru ran up to you throwing punches you way but you blocked every one. You kicked Kenta in the gut and sent him flying as you blocked a punch from Haru. "YES! BRING HER TRUE FORM OUT FOR ALL TO SEE!" Daiki said laughing. Jiro got up from the floor and ran at you again as you punched Haru and sent him back a few feet. You were mad! You blocked Jiro and Kenta's hits as you laid a few on them. You felt a tingling in your back and you felt a thrill that you never felt before, once you got out of the circle that the three boys put you in you could see fog start up everywhere. "YES! KEEP GOING! HER TRUE FORM IS COMING OUT!" shouted Daiki. You felt something shot out of your back and you got taller, now you could see perfectly in the dark like it was daylight. "YES! HER TRUE FORM HAS TAKEN OVER!" just then you felt a shock throughout your body and you fell to the floor screaming. "Jiro, chain her back up." Daiki demanded and you felt cold metal on your wrists. "You will help us win the tournament. You will help me become the Lord of Makai, I will be King and no one will stop me!" then you blacked out.

Okay, that is as much as I can put for now. I hope you liked it. Please read, rate, and message. I do not own yyh!

THREE DAYS LATER

AI'S POV

DREAM MODE
You ran through the forest, the thrill of the chase running through your veins. You and your partner stopped to take a break from your constant running, "That was fun Kurama." you said in a deep manly voice. The guy dressed in white with a tail and cute little white ears smiled at you as he held up a gold diamond necklace. "That it was... Kuronue. Promise me one thing." "And what is that Kurama?" "Promise that you would do anything for me." "Only if you make that promise in return." you said and you both shook hands.

DREAM MODE END
You woke up with the sun shining on your face. You brought your hand up to shield your eyes as you yawned loudly, looking around to see that you were laying on a bed and you were in a room covered in black from floor to ceiling. "I see your awake." you looked up at see Haru standing on the edge of the bed, strange thing was he didn't make an indent in the bed or anything, just stood there. "What do you want? Baka!" you asked him, he feigned hurt. "Awww Ai, you made this Shadow Demon sad. The first match is about to begin, I'm glad you woke up in time." and with that said he disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. "What the hell was that about? And how long have I been out?!" you got up in the bed, instantly finding that there were mirrors everywhere. You were shocked by what you saw in them. Your long black hair was three times longer, you indigo eyes were darker if possible, there was a pair of black bat wings on your back, you ears were even pointier if that was even possible. You were wearing a black vest-like shirt, with black pants and a white sarong. You were wearing black boots and a strange black witches hat that was torn in some places and had the top cut off so your large ponytail could go through it and help keep the hat on. "Do you like your true form? Koumori?" You turned and saw Daiki, Haru, Kenta and Jiro. "Come, it's our turn to fight." Daiki said as he walked out gracefully.

KURAMA'S POV
You stood watching the fighting with a boy named Kichirou, you had no clue where he came from but Yusuke had brought him back with him from a mission. And right now he was bothering the hell out of you saying: "I WANT MY SISTER! I DON'T LIKE THIS FIGHTING!" then he would start anime crying again. You just sighed and took his hand in yours, "Don't worry, we will find your sister." You had no clue what other thing to say, Yusuke just dumped the kid on you and ran off. You were keeping note on a very interesting team called 'Team Ka' whom was currently battling another team. One of the fighters from Team Ka caught your eye, it was female you knew that for sure. But the thing that surprised you the most was she looked just like... an old friend. You best and only friend in another time and place that was now long gone and in the past. You were amazed by the way she fought really. She was fighting a demon by spinning around in circles, hitting the demon with her scythe each time while it flew around her, almost like a slow spinning top. Once the demon fell and started to get up, she threw her scythe and the blade wrapped around his neck. She flicked her hand and the scythe cut off his head as it flew back to her. "OH MY GOSH! I KNOW THAT PERSON!" you gazed at the boy now as he started crying new tears. "What have they done to you? Sister?" he asked. You blinked, *That's the girl he always crying for?! Ai?!* "How do you know it's her?" you asked in a calm voice. "I don't know why, but she's the only one I know that had an indigo blue aura mixed with white. My sister is the ONLY one with an aura like that. I am able to see people's auras and tell a little bit about them from it, and who they are. The guy with the slick hair said that she would be here." You remembered how upset Yusuke was when the boy said something about a Dark Tournament. "And that koumori is the only one that even has a blue aura, most people here have red or black. And plus that my sisters the only one who fights like that... Like Kohaku from Inuyasha." You took in all this information and smiled as a thought came to your head, "What color aura do I have?" The boy looked at you for 30 seconds before he spoke. "You have a green aura, but you have had another life as well." "And what makes you say that?" "You have white mixed in with your green." You nodded and looked back at the arena, seeing that the fights were over and Team Ka had won and was going to the next round. You studied the girl for a bit, *Could she really be? No. That's impossible.* you thought and took Kichirou back to the hotel room.

NEXT DAY

AI'S POV

DREAM MODE
You and Kurama were running into a castle, there was a very valuable golden mirror that Youko wanted. You and Kurama fought the demon guards side-by-side, back-to-back. You both eventually got split up but after five minutes Kurama came back to you holding the mirror. You both ran out of the castle and into the night, then suddenly, the chain to your pendent broke. "OH NO! MY PENDENT!" you ran back to get it just as...

DREAM MODE END
Your eyes flew open as you were shook awake. It was Kenta. *You blasted bird!* you thought bitterly, "Hey babe, it's time to get ready, the next fights up." he said with a smile and kissed your forehead. You slapped him for that. You wanted to go back to sleep and finish your dream... that and you couldn't get to sleep till sunrise. *Damn nocturnal traits!* you thought and got out of the bed. Kenta stood there still holding his cheek, "Well?! Let's go then shall we?!"

KURAMA'S POV
You and the gang were going against Team Ka. Naturally... Yusuke walked up to the leader to talk about what they would do. You could tell Yusuke didn't like him very much, he had a strange air around him. Soon, Yusuke walked up to you, Hiei, Kuwabara and Genkai. "We're doing one-on-one." he stated as you saw one of the teammates that looked goth walk onto the arena. Hiei stepped up, "Good luck." you told him, "Don't loose three-eyes." Yusuke added. The fire apparition just 'Hn'ed and walked to battle. After three minutes in the ring Hiei came out victorious, you studied the goth and clarified that it was a shadow demon. Kuwabara fought the one with red hair and wings, and lost, you clarified him as a bird demon. Then Yusuke fought against the one with white hair and red eyes, the leader, you clarified that he was canine but which you were not sure. Yusuke won that fight obviously. Then Genkai went up against the cat, and she won. "Okay, there is only one fight left, who will win?!" shouted the annoying announcer. You saw the girl with bat wing walking up to the arena, only to be stopped by the leader. He whispered something in her ear and her eyes went wide, but she shook her head yes and stepped onto the arena just as you did. Her head was hanging, hat covering her eyes. "Okay, it looks like Team Ka's fighter Ai, will be going against Team Urameshi's Kurama!" The bat-girls head shot up, her eyes wide. "Who will win?! Let's just hope this get bloody people!" and with that said, the announcer ran off the arena. The koumori looked at you. You looked at her and pulled a rose out from behind your head, and transformed it into the rose whip. She took out her scythe, reluctantly. You got into battle position, ready to fight. "READY! GO!" you both fought, but the thing was she wasn't using the battle techniques she was using on the demon you saw her fighting. You whip hit her scythe, and a blue and green light erupted from the weapons and you both were shot back. You got up just as you hit the ground, so did she. She gave you a sad expression. "Youko, it's you." she said. You were shocked, *Is she really you? Kuronue?*

AI'S POV
You started walking up to the arena when Daiki stopped you. "I want you to fight him to the death, if you don't then not only will you be shocked," he said, pointing to the collar around your neck. "But I will kill your little brother too, he is here, right now. And I have a lesser demon watching him. You don't do as I say and he will die." you eyes opened wide and you nodded. You started walking towards the arena, you head hung low and a single tear running down your face. *Kichirou, please be safe. I will come for you.* You stepped onto the arena just as your opponent did. "Okay! It looks like Team Ka's Ai will be fighting Team Urameshi's Kurama!" *Kurama?! That's the guy from my dream!* you thought as your head shot up to look at him. You were shocked to see the guy had rose red hair and emerald green eyes. "Who will win?! Let's just hope this gets bloody people!" said the announcer as she ran to the side. Your opponents hand reached behind his head and pulled out a rose, you were puzzled. Was he going to take you out on a date of doom or something? It turned into a whip and you weren't so puzzled anymore as you pulled out your scythe, albeit reluctantly. *The only reason I killed that demon before was he enjoyed killing, beating heart or no he did not deserve to live.* "READY! GO!" Kurama ran at you, swinging his whip in your direction. You jumped in the air and dodged his attack, throwing the chain your scythe was on at him while you landed back on the ground. *I know Daiki told me to kill you... but I don't want to... I can tell in your eyes you don't want to do this. I will let you live.* the chain wrapped around his foot and you pulled the chain, pulling him up into the air with you as you kicked off the ground and extended your wings. Just as you were high enough, you swung the chain around you in a circle, being mindful of your wings. The chain let him go and he flew to the ground, he got up and jumped in the air, swinging his whip at you again. You took note that his eyes had turned yellow for a split second. A blue and green light came forth as the whip hit your scythe in a hit that sent you both flying, you eyes widening as you had a flashback.

FLASHBACK
You and Kurama were running through the night, Kurama with the mirror in hand. At that moment you felt you most loved pendent fall from your neck, "OH NO! MY PENDENT!" you yelled and ran to get it as Kurama told you to come back. Just as soon as you had it in hand, a bunch of bamboo shot up out of the ground, making you yell in pain. You looked towards Kurama and saw that he was coming after you, "NO! FORGET ME! SAVE YOURSELF KURAMA!" you yelled to him in pain. He had pain in his eyes, but left none-the-less. Then the flashback changed, you saw Youko in deep pain, then it changed again, you saw the boy with red hair. He turned into Kurama before turning back into his red-headed self.

FLASHBACK END
Your back hit the ground, scraping your wings. You shot up just as he did. "Youko, it's you." you said as pain started to shoot through your eyes and chest. You knew what you must do. He looked surprised as you summoned a thick fog to surround you both. You walked up to him, he looked like he was ready for an attack, you didn't do anything. "I know you don't want to be here... just as I... Kurama. Do you remember the promise you made me? Kurama?" he looked at you funny, the memories coming back to him. "I need you to do something for me... I want you to watch over Kichirou... I want you to kill me."

To be continued

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. At all. No even the pebble Kurama used as a distraction in his battle with black spiky hair blue boy in the Dark Tournament.

[Krysta]

KURAMA'S POV.
It took you awhile, but you finally registered what she was saying... *She wants me to kill her?* "Why do you want me to kill you?" you asked. A tear slid down her cheek as she walked to you, "Because he told me to fight you to the death... he said that if I didn't then he would kill Kichirou. You have a long life ahead of you, you have a reason to live... I have a reason to die. I don't have the heart to kill you... Youko Kurama. Kill me. Your team will win. My team will be kicked out of the tournament, and my brother wont die." another tear went down her pale cheek just as she stopped five feet away from you. Just then the collar around her neck started crackling, "He knows were not fighting! AHHHHHHHH!" electricity shot through her body as she fell to the ground. "He plans to use me to become king of makai! Kill me Kurama! Before it's too late! AHHHHHHHHHHH!" another bult of electricity shot through her small form. You started panicking. *OH GOD! OH GOD! OH GOD! I CAN'T KILL KURONUE... AI! I CAN'T BARE TO SEE HIM DIE AGAIN... HER! I CAN'T BARE TO KILL HER!* she got up from the ground and got her scythe ready. "Please kill me Kurama, before Daiki succeeds!" and with that said she threw the chain at you. The fog disappeared. You landed on your feet on the ground, and you swung your whip at her hand, you were going to get the scythe away from her and get her to use her fog again and tell her what you were gonna do. But then something came to mind. You thought of the little red eyed boy... if he saw his sister get killed or knew she was gone then you wouldn't hear the end of it. For ever since Yusuke brought the boy with him from the mission the boy has been following you everywhere you walked saying 'I think I know you from somewhere... I just don't know where.' and 'My sister knows you... she would talk about you in her sleep sometimes... or atleast your name.' And with how much the boy cried the past few days being in the dark tournament... you could only imagine how much he would cry if his sister was dead. She jumped in the air before your whip could get her hand and it flew under her. She extended her wings and flew toward you, turning in a death turn, swinging her scythe around her. You jumped out of the way before the scythe hit the ground, digging into the concrete.

KICHIROU'S POV.
You saw Kurama fighting your sister, at first your sister was using attacks that wouldn't hurt him. You were puzzled as to why because from the youkai you saw her fighting... she killed every one of them brutally. Then after the fog was gone she started using attacks the could kill in a heart beat. You saw as her scythe dug into the ground, dust flying in it's path, Kurama jumped in the air and kicked her in the back sending her flying to the ground. "Come on Kurama! Save her! Save your friend!" lately, ever since the slick haired kid took you with him, you have been having dreams of this guy that looked just like your sister.

FLASHBACK.
"Who are you?" you asked the guy as he walked closer to you. "I am your sister... she is my reincarnation... you must know... little brother, you must get Ai and Kurama to stop fighting in the battle they will have tomorrow. For what Ai is planing will only bring Kurama more grief then when he saw me murdered." he started to fade away. "WAIT! WHAT IS YOUR NAME!" the person was gone but you heard his voice out of nowhere, "Ha, ha, ha, my name is Kuronue..." you then woke up.

END FLASHBACK.
You knew what you had to do. You ran down the stairs from the top of the arena. "STOP! STOP FIGHTING!" you were flying down the stairs. Random youkai were staring at you, what you didn't know was you were being followed. "LITTLE BOY! STOP! YOU COULD GET HURT!" you heard a female voice say, your legs were hurting from the speed you were going, you could only see your sister and the boy, whom you now saw as the brother you never had, fighting in a tunnel vision. You got down the last step and jumped down onto the arena. "STOP! STOP FIGHTING! PLEASE AI! STOP!" you were about to climb onto the arena when you were stopped by hands going around your waist. You started kicking and screaming, the arms turned you around and you saw a girl with brown hair and brown eyes, you looked behind her to find a woman with blue hair and purple eyes, a woman with light brown hair and brown eyes smoking, and a girl with aqua hair and red eyes. "You can't get them to stop, they are youkai, they will not stop till the fights over." said the girl with blue hair, the girl with short brown hair hugged you close. "I HAVE TO! HE TOLD ME TO! HE SAID THAT AI WAS PLANING SOMETHING THAT WILL ONLY BRING KURAMA GRIEF! I HAVE TO STOP THE FIGHT!" you looked onto the arena to see your sister holding her neck and Kurama had his rose whip around her neck, strangling her. "NOOOOOOOOOOO! KURAMA-SEMPAI DON'T! AI! KURO-KUN!"

AI'S POV.
You felt a foot hitting your back and you flew to the ground, injuringyour left wing. You got up from the ground and jumped in the air again as Kurama's whip was aimed at you again, in the air, you spread your wings only to fall to the ground. You held your left wing, it hurt like hell! You saw Kurama's eyes turn yellow again for a spit second and he ran to you, swinging his whip. You brought your scythe in front of you and blocked his attack, another green and blue light erupted sending you back. Your feet were halfway on the edge of the arena you started to fall back, *OH GOD!* you thought and started swinging your arms in random directions and flapping your wings till you fell on your face on the hard arena floor. You felt someone grab your pony and drag you to the middle of the arena, you saw Kurama's feet, you felt something wrap around your neck and start tightening, flinging you up so your back was against a chest. Your hands flew up to your neck and started clawing the rope like thing, but your hands started bleeding as your hands were pricked with... spikes? You started twisting and turning, flapping your wings around. Trying to get the person off, but all it did was make the rope around your neck get tighter. Your legs gave out making the rope get tighter, there were black spots in your vision now as your eyes started getting blurry. Then a voice in your head spoke, ^Call out to him, call out to Youko, even though he is in the body of this boy, he will make this stop and everything will get better... your brother will live^ your gaze went over to the Urameshi Team. You saw a girl holding... KICHIROU! You felt your strength renew and your hands flew back and grabbed the guy flipping him over, but you flipped with him and now you were on the ground on your belly while the guy has on top of your from behind. "Youko........... stop..........." you choked out as your started rolling around on the ground. Kurama's arm was around your waist and he held fast, turning with you. Finally, your body started to stop moving, your movements getting slow. You saw a white smoke around you. And you closed your eyes as the person got up and held you. Everything went black.

KURAMA'S POV.
You didn't want to do this, but this was the only way to make her pass out. She started struggling against your grip as she saw her brother with Keiko. Her bloodied hands grabbed you and flipped you over her, but that plan backfired on her as she went to the ground with you. "KILL HER! KILL HER! KILL HER! KILL HER!" the crowed was chanting. "Youko............. stop.........." you heard her say. "I never wanted to do this." you whispered as tear started to flood down your cheeks. Her movements started to slow, a cry threatened to break out. ^STOP KURAMA! THAT'S ENOUGH! SHE WILL DIE IF YOU KEEP THE ROSE WHIP AROUND HER NECK ANY LONGER^ you heard the thief say. Youko has been trying to get out all day long, a puff of white smoke surrounded you as you turned into the fox himself.

YOUKO'S POV.
You knew what Kurama had in mind to do, he was gonna make her pass out and make everyone think she was dead. Then take her back to the hotel room and watch over her because of what she said about Daiki. The smoke disappeared from around you and you took the whip from around her neck. You picked her up bridal style and looked at her... *KURAMA WAS RIGHT! SHE DOES LOOK LIKE KURONUE!* you thought and you hugged her close. You saw the announcercoming closer to you. "She's dead." was all you said and you took the little koumori off the arena. "AND THE WINNER IS KURAMA FROM TEAM URAMESHI!" the little boy ran to you and kicked you in the shins. But you didn't do anything, you could handle pain that a ningen onni could dish out. He was crying. "AI! AI-SAMA!" you stooped down to his eye level and whispered. "Don't worry, she's not dead. I only made it looked like it so I could get her away from Team Ka. But keep quiet." you said bringing a finger to your lips. The boy started stroking her hair. You turned back into Kurama.

KURAMA'S POV.
You were back in control holding Ai in your arms. You fought the blush that came to your cheeks as she slept in your arms. "Let's take her back to the hotel room." you said and started walking in the direction out of the arena. Everyone staring at you in shock... except for the boy and the girls... the boy was happy and the girls were saying 'Awwww, he loves her.' and things like that.

I do not own YYH! Never have, never will!

DAIKI'S POV.
It had been three days since that 'Kurama' guy battled Ai to the death. You were sad that you didn't have your little koumori, but you still were going to rule Makai. And no one would stop you! "Kenta." The redheaded bird walked up to you and got on one knee, bowing. It disgusted you how the bird had fallen for the little koumori, for after the death match he had been drinking alot. "Yes Master Daiki... what is it you need?" You smiled a smiled that made all the girls swoon at your feet when you used it, yet it was evil and sadistic. You laughed. "I want you to... eliminate, the boy. Since Ai is gone he is of no use to us." "Yes Master Daiki." and with that Kenta got up from the ground and kissed your hand, he then walked out the door to do as you instructed. You got up from the chair and looked out the window at the cold, star fulled night, "Soon... I will become King very soon." and with that you laughed.

KICHIROU'S POV.
It took Kurama and the girl's named Keiko, Boton, Yukina, and Shizuru, three and a half hours to get that stupid choker off of Ai's neck, and when they did they saw red and black marks that it had left on her skin. But they had got it off and now your sister was safe from harm. But she still had not woken up and it has been three days, you watched her, every now and then you would take a brush that Keiko let you borrow and you would start brushing her hair, hoping that it would wake her up. Sometimes you would take out one of the Inuyasha manga books you had stacked in your pack and you would read outload to her... especially the chapters that had Kohaku in it.Sometimes she would stir in her sleep, as if she was going to wake up, only to become silent and still again. You never left her side. You were going to be there when she wakes up, you would bring food with you and sit down in the chair by her bed and wave an apple or and orange under her nose, all it would do is make her nose wiggle to the point she would sneeze. But never did she wake. You were worried out of your mind, she needed to eat or she would starve to death! This was taking a very bad toll on Kurama, sometimes when you would be sleeping and you would wake in the middle of the night to check on Ai he would be there by her bed wide awake. Sometimes he would have a happy face and stare at her, but most of the time you would find tears were in his eyes and he would whisper over and over again, 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I never wanted to do that.' The team had just left for one of there battles and you had taken charge of staying with Ai, Keiko had decided to stay with you, you knew why, there were youkai everywhere and there were bound to be 2 maybe 5 youkai who would want a little boy such as yourself for a snack. Right now you were reading from one of the Inuyasha manga when you looked up and saw your sisters head started to twitch and her eyes fluttered open, "SISTER! YOUR AWAKE! I'M SO HAPP-" you stopped mid sentenceas her eyes closed again. You closed the book and stuffed it back in your bookbag just as Keiko ran into the room. "Did she wake?" you looked at the brown haired woman and shook your head 'no'. She sighed and sat down next to you, she put her hand on your shoulder, "You know... there are sometimes when people fall asleep and never wake up... but don't think of it as bad... they are in a peaceful state and it is better for most." you smacked her hand away and looked her in her brown eyes with your red ones burning with anger. "I KNOW AI BETTER THEN THAT! SHE HAS BEEN LIKE A MOTHER TO ME SINCE OUR MOTHER STARTED DRINKING AND STARTED ABUSING HER! SHE THEN STEPPED UP AND TOOK THE BLOWS THAT WERE MEANT FOR ME! SHE IS STRONG! SHE WILL WAKE UP! I WILL NOT JUST SIT HERE AND THINK THAT SHE NEVER WILL!" you screamed in her face and ran out the door. "KICHIROU! COME BACK! YOU COULD GET HURT!" but you didn't listen, you just kept running till you bumped into something hard. You fell on your butt and looked up as you saw a man with red hair and black eyes, he took a drink from a BIIIIIIIG beer bottle emptying half the bottle in one swig. "There you are you little rat." he said as he slammed the bottle to the ground and started to walk up to you. Someone grabbed your hand yanking you up, "COME ON!" you looked to see Keiko as she started running with you. "Oh no you (Hick) don't!" said the man as he flew over you and landed in front of you almost falling over, he had bird wings on his back that reminded you of a parrot, they two were red but they were laced with gold and green. "You are of (hick) no use to u(hick)s anymore. So the master wants you dead." he said as he started stumbling toward you and Keiko, she wrapped her arms around you protectively. No one was going to get to you in time! You could try to call on the fire youkai called Hiei, but he was most likely in a battle right now, so you did the only thing you could do, it was the call you used when you needed help. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" you screamed as waves of air shot out of your mouth making the bird youkai fall on his butt. You and Keiko started running again, "I said no you do(hick)n't!" and the bird ended up in front of you again, only this time he had managed to get you out of Keiko's arms and had one hand around your neck, lifting you high in the air. "AI-SAMA!" "Ai-sama! Ai-sama! Hahaha, she's dead... and we both know it! Don't think that you saying her name will bring her back! I should know! I have been crying for her ever since her death match!" his hand tightened around your neck, you opened your eyes to see he had tears in his eyes, he rubbed his cheek with his free hand and smiled, "I remember the first day I got to wake her up for the first battle, she slapped me but I will treasure that moment forever!" His face got closer to your's, you could smell the alcohol coming out of his mouth along with the scent of blood. Keiko ran up to the man and hit him in the back with a chair, it broke upon impact but it did not phase him one bit. His hand shifted, getting tighter around your neck so he could drag you though the air with him, he smacked Keiko in the face sending her flying to the ground. "Do not interfere wench! Or I will kill you too! Now..." he brought his other hand up and started choking you with both hands. "Ahhh... sister.... help!" just then the mans hands were cut off, you falling to the floor, fog everywhere. You coughed and opened your eyes to see your sister holding the man by the neck, her scythe in her other hand threatening to cut off his head. "AI! MY LOVE! YOUR ALIVE! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! WE ALL DID! MASTER WILL BE SO PLEASED THAT YOU ARE ALIVE!" "And I won't be please till you and the rst of Team Ka are dead for going after my little brother." she said, but it was not her voice. You thought for a moment, *OH MY GOSH! THAT'S THE VOICE OF KURONUE!* you looked closer to see that her body and everything was the same, the only difference was her voice and the fact that her dark blue aura was almost completelycovered in white and her voice was that of Kuronue's. You got up and ran to Keiko, she hugged you tightly, both of you in a corner. The fog got thicker as it circled everything around like a ghost fog, the man brought his stubs for arms up to his neck, "WHO ARE YOU! YOU ARE NOT AI! TELL ME WHO YOU REALLY ARE!" he screamed. You saw Ai smile and her hand got tighter around the birds neck. "I am Ai... she is my reincarnation... but you should know my name... I am Kuronue, hahaha." "Ku-ku-kuronue!? The second most wanted and second most dangerous thief in all of Makai?!" "The very same..." fog then covered the two of them. You heard a scream, as the fog evaporated you saw your sister standing there, blood on her clothes and her scythe, and the man body and head on the floor. She walked up to you and Keiko, she got to her knees, "Are you okay, Kichirou?" her voice was back, tears of joy flooded your eyes and you got out of Keiko's grasp and hugged your sister. "AI! YOUR BACK!" "Hello, um, Ai, my name is Keiko. Um... how did you wake up?" your sister smiled and looked at the young woman, "The smell of alcohol... and my screaming brother." "AI! I AM SOOOOO GLAD YOUR BACK!" you screamed into her neck, crying. She hugged you tighter, "Me too little brother." Then her voice changed into Kuronue's, "Me too." you then fell asleep in her arms for your worry was finally over and you never realized how tired you were.

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.

KURAMA'S POV.
You and the gang were walking back to the hotel room, Hiei was helping you walk there for you were badly injured in battle... but you won. You walk down the hall toward your room when you smelt alcohol and blood, *The boy!* you thought "Keiko!" screamed Yusuke as he, Kuwabara, Boton, Shizuru, and Yukina ran with him. You and Hiei hopped there for your leg was what was badly wounded. "What the h*ll happened!?" you heard Yusuke say and you soon knew why, there was blood everywhere, and there was a body of one of the fighters from Team Ka on the floor with his head severed from his body. The smell of alcohol was coming off of him in waves, "What did happen here?" you asked no one in particular. Yusuke and the other ran to the hotel room... while you hopped with Hiei, and burst open the door, a woman walked out, "I hope you both like the food... for you both have been eating like horses." she whispered the last part as she walked off. You all walked inside to see Kichirou reading an Inuyasha manga like he always was with Keiko bringing a whole cart of food into the kitchen, Kichirou laughed and closed the book, you then noticed something... "Where is Ai?" you asked, "OH MY GOSH KURAMA-KUN! YOUR WOUNDED!" he then ran to you and had Hiei bring you to the bed that Ai was suppose be sleeping in. "Kichirou, where is Ai? What happened? Why is there a dead body in front of our door?" "KEIKO! KURAMA'S HURT!" was he ignoring your questions on purpose? "KICHIROU!" he looked at you almost in tears, "I'm sorry for yelling but what happened to Ai?" "OH YES! SHE'S IN THE KITCHEN!" he said completelyforgetting you and running into the kitchen just as Keiko walked out the of kitchen walking over to you with medical supplies. Yukina walked up to you and started dressing your leg, everyone in the room started yelling at Keiko... "WHAT HAPPENED?" "WHERE'S THE GIRL?" "WHY IS THERE A DEAD BODY IN FRONT OF OUR DOOR?" "WHY HAVE YOU BEEN GETTING FOOD LIKE MAD?" "WHY ARE THERE MARKS ON KICHIROU?" "WHY IS YOUR CHEEK BRUISING?" Hiei, Yukina and you were the only ones not asking questions. *If Kichirou said that Ai is in the kitchen then that mean... SHE WOKE UP!* you thought and got up as soon as Yukina was done to your leg, "No, you must sit back down so your wound will be healed by the time the next battle comes up in a few days." said Yukina as she pushed your shoulder making you sit back on the bed. You sighed, Hiei knew why and had her walk to him to ask Keiko questions. You got back up off the bed and started hopping to the kitchen, "ENOUGH WITH THE QUESTIONS! YOU WILL GET YOUR ANSWERS SOON ENOUGH!" screamed Keiko whom was in the middle of the circle. You opened the kitchen door and walked in closing it behind you, you looked at the table to see Kichirou sitting at the table eating an orange and Ai had three plates full of food on her plate stuffing her face."I(munch) have never (munch) seen so much(munch) food in one setting(munch)" you chuckled a bit and sat down next to the boy. She really was Kuronue's reincarnation... she most deffenetlyhad his appetite! A thieves appetite! "It's true," you looked beside you to see Kichirou had spoken to you, "What's true?" "Ai really have never seen so much food, our mother stopped feeding us when she found out about the wonders of beer, she would waste her pay on alcohol. Ai had to go out and make a living for us, she would come home with money, I have no idea what job she had, but she was good at it for she would bring home enough money to last a month in three days. She would buy food for us but she would never eat much, she would let me eat as much as I wanted. And now it's her turn!" he said as he started laughing. "And plus that, (munch) Team Ka was starving me so I couldn't fight them if I managed (munch) to get that stupid necklace off! (munch)"she then chugged a cup of water down her throat and started eating again. You looked at her closely, you have never noticed it before but she was really skinny, her muscleswere the only meat that was on her. Team Ka really did starve her... as did her mother from what you heard. You then noticed something else too, her left wing was crooked to the side just like Kuronue's left wing was, you wondered how she got it, then instantly felt regret when you remembered that you were the one whom injured her wing in the death match. Once she finished her food, she fulled her cup with water again and started drinking slowly this time, you saw a chocolate box that had not been touched. You wondered why since you knew that women thrived on the stuff. You opened it up and took out a piece that was made of milk chocolate with coconut in it, you placed it in the palm of your hand and handed it to her, Ai looked at it as if it was poisoned then looked at you, "What is it?" she asked as her eyes went back to it. Your eyebrows farrowedtogether, had she never eaten chocolate before? "It's chocolate." you said with a smile. Her eyes widened. "That's chocolate!? I've never seen it before! I've heard of it! But I've never seen or tried it before!" she took it out of your hand and took a bite, her eyes closing and I smiled gracing her lips, "It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD! It tastes like heaven!" and she attacked the heart shaped box of chocolate. "You've created a monster. Hahaha!" said Kichirou as Ai, yet again, started stuffing her face... only with any and all the chocolate she could reach. You laughed a bit as the others came into the room, "You know the more you eat the fatter you'll get!" she glared at Yusuke, and she slowly got up from the chair and walked up to him so her face was inches from his, "Are you saying... that I'm fat?" "No, I'm saying that you will if you eat everything in sight!" "Do I LOOK like I have the body of a girl who has been eating right since she was 14! Well for you info I haven't been eating right since I was 14! When I was kidnapped I was shocked to the point I passed out because Daiki decided that he needed to punish me because I wanted to NOT kill! I was out for three days when I woke up here in the room with HIM! He did not feed me and said that if I EVER got that D*MN necklace off then I would need to be weak enough that I wouldn't be able to get away! Then on top of that he threatened that if I didn't fight death matches only he would kill Kichirou! Then I had the death match with Kurama here and then was out for yet again three days! So if you don't mind but this FAT WOMAN is going to finish eating now!" by then she had backed Yusuke into a corner, she then sat down and reached into the chocolate box. Her eyes widened as she took the box in both hands and looked inside of it, "Empty?" you asked her, she just tipped the box over and started shaking it as if more would just fall out. She then stood up and started re-arranging everything on the table, "What are you doing?" Shizuru asked her, "If there is ONE box of chocolate then there HAS to be ANOTHER one!" "Like I said Kurama... you really have created a monster!" said Kichirou and she playfully glared at him, "Care to say that again... punk." "Uh oh!" he said and jumped off the chair and ran into the living room with Ai running after him. "Can I ask her now?" "No you can not! can't you see that she and Kichirou are making up for what they lost!" Keiko yelled at Yusuke. Then you wondered... How did she wake up?

AI'S POV.
You chased your brother all over the place till you finally caught him and started tickling him. "Ai, hahahaha, please st-st-stop! Hahahahaha! I give! Hahahaha! Your not a monster! Hahahahahahahahahaha!" you stopped after he said that, he was panting as you picked him up and threw him on the bed. He laughed as he bounced up and landed on it again, "I really missed you Ai!" he said sitting up and grabbing an Inuyasha manga. You smiled and turning around to look through the window to be face-to-face with a boy wearing green with slick hair. "I- I mean WE have some questions to ask you." he said as he and a few others started circling you. "And I have some questions of my own and yours will not be answered till mine are." "Go ahead" "Okay then... what are your names?" the one with slick hair smiled. "My names Yusuke." then the one with orange hair pipped up, "I'm Kazuma Kuwabara." The one wearing nothing but black spoke next, "Hn, I'm Hiei." Then the girl with blue hair smiled a chipper smile, "The names Boton!" she said shaking your hand, then the girl with the cigaretteblew smoke out of her mouth, "I'm Shizuru." then the last one to speak was a very pretty girl with aqua hair and red eyes, "I'm Yukina." she said "It is nice to meet you all, I am Ai, now ask your questions." you said crossing your arms across your chest. Yusuke spoke first, "Why does Keiko have a bruising cheek?!" "Why don't you ask the dead body in front of our door." Boton was the next to speak, "Why does Kichirou have bruises and marks on his neck?" "Yet again... ask the headless handless body at our front door." Kuwabara then spoke his question, "He's handless?! I didn't notice!" "Yes he is, he was trying to strangleKichirou, so I chopped off hiss hands... next question please." "How do you know Kurama so well? And why does he act funny around you?" asked the one called Hiei, *Should I really tell them that I'm he best friends reincarnation?* "I don't know, I have only seen him in dreams. Next question please." you said before Hiei could say anything more. Shizuru was the next to speak, "How did you wake up?" everyone looked at you puzzled. So you decided to keep it simple and to keep your other side out of this, "The smell of alcohol and my brothers screams of terror. I swear he screams so much it could wake the dead." "BOO!" "AHHHH! KICHIROU YOU LITTLE BUGGER!" you said and ran after your brother again. After an hour the body had been disposed of and the entire hall had been cleaned. Even though you wanted to go outside and get some fresh air and relax now that you were no longer part of Team Ka, everyone actually tied you to a chair when you said you wanted to open and window and look out. "WHY CAN'T I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW?!" you screeched, "Because! Your suppose to be dead to everyone here so Team Ka wont come for you again." shouted Yusuke, you sighed, they were right. So you just slumped into the chair defeated, showing everyone a pouty lip. It worked. "I could take her out at night, so she at least get some freedom while she's with us here." said Kurama, and just as soon as Yusuke and Kuwabara untied you, you ran and flung your arms around Kurama's neck hugging him. "I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I. LOVE. YOU! YOU ARE THE GREATEST! NOW I CAN FINALLY RELAX!" what you didn't know was Kurama was blushing and all the girls were giggling low giggles at the two of you. You let Kurama go and you smiled at him and ran into the bedroom. You plopped on the bed and screamed, Kurama burst in wobbling followed by everyone else, you held your left shoulder, "D*mnit! I forgot about my wing!" you said through gritted teeth. "Oh that's it?! I thought you were getting attacked by some youkai!" shouted Yusuke and he walked out the room, "YUSUKE GET BACK HERE! THAT WAS MEAN!" shouted Keiko as she followed him and a powerful slap echoed through the room followed by an "OW! KEIKO!" Kurama walked up to you and sat behind you on the bed examiningyou wing, "It looks like your wing issprained, it will heal with time but your wing is going to be cocked to the side permanently." Then, an epic idea popped in your head. You started crying fake tears that went down your cheek, "NOW I CAN NEVER FLY AGAIN! OH I KNOW WHAT TO DO!" you said getting rid of the fake tears, "ALL I GOT TO DO IS THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS AND SAY 'I CAN FLY I CAN FLY' AND I CAN FLY WITHOUT MY WINGS! I'M GONNA GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF AND TRY IT OUT!" "NOOOO! DON'T!" Kurama yelled grabbing your shoulders as you tried to get up, everyone sweatdropped. Hiei was on the brink of laughing, he knew what the plan was, you turned to the fox and started to cry fake tears again. "I no fly?" Kurama sweatdropped at how you were acting, "You will be able to fly but it will take time and practice." you brought your face closer to his so it was only inches away, "You just walked right into my trap..." "What do you mea-" "TICKLE FIGHT!" you glompped him and he fell back on the bed and you tickled the fire outta him. Hiei was laughing his a** off, and everyone still had a sweat drop.

DAIKI'S POV.
You sat in the only arm chair in the room with Haru and Jiro, "That damn parrot still has not come back from his mission yet!" you said madly, getting up from the chair, Haru and Jiro got off the couch and got to your feet, kissing your fingers. "Don't be mad Master Daiki, Kenta will come back with the boys head for you." said Haru, "Yes, King Daiki, he will come and all will be better." Just then there was a knock at the door, Haru got up from the floor after bowing to you and ran to the door and opened it to show and young female youkai, "I am very sorry for your loss." she said and a few three other youkai came into the room. One had a body, one had hands, and one had the head of Kenta. They all dropped him to the floor and left, "Have a nice day." said the woman as she closed the door, your red eyes turned purple, "THAT LITTLE DRUNKEN WEAKLING! THERE IS NO WAY IN H*LL THAT THE BOY WAS ABLE TO DO THIS! SINCE AI IS GONE THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON I CAN THINK OF... THAT KURAMA GUY FROM TEAM URAMESHI! AI TOLD HIM TO TAKE CARE OF HER LITTLE BRAT BROTHER WHILE SHE GOES ALL NOBLE AND SAYS, 'KILL ME, KILL ME.' BULLSH*T! JIRO!" " Yes Master Daiki?" said the cat as he crawled over to you and started rubbing his face against your feet, "I WANT YOU TO TRACK DOWN THAT LITTLE SNOT NOSED KID, KILL HIM, AND BRING ME HIS HEAD! THEN I WANT YOU TO FIND THIS KURAMA AND DO THE SAME! I WANT BOTH THERE HEADS ON A SILVER PLATTER! NOW GO!" "Yes Master!" he said and ran out the door on all fours to go find the kid and that d*mn Kurama guy! Your eyes turned back to their blood red colored selves as you sat down in your arm chair and rubbed your temples. "Why is this happening? Everything was going according to plan till that little sl*t decided to let that b*stard kill her." you sighed, Haru got back on his hands and knees and kissed your feet. "Do not worry Lord Daiki, we will annihilate anyone that gets in the way of your destiny. I will make sure that you become the rightful ruler of Makai or I will die trying!" "Come here Haru." you said and Haru got up from the floor, you took his head in both your hands and you kissed his forehead. "Go, follow Jiro and watch, if he dies come right back to me and tell me what happened." "Yes Master." he said and bowed as he turned into a shadow on the wall and followed the little cat. You got up from the chair and walked to the window to looked at the setting sun, "Why is everyone against me? I am only continuing what my father started 3000 years ago." a tear slid down your cheek as you walked away from the window.

I never have and never will own YYH!

KURAMA'S POV.
It was most likely three in the morning by now, and you decided to take Ai out for some fresh air. But you still had a question on the mind... how did she wake up? You didn't believe that the smell of alcohol and the sound of her brother screaming woke her up, oh no, you already tried that!

FLASHBACK.
"Kichirou, can you tell me anything about your sister that we haven't tried yet?" you tried everything, from reading manga's in her ear to dangling chicken under her nose and she still didn't wake. "Well, my sister is very protective of me when she heard me scream and she hates the smell of alcohol..." you didn't press him to tell you about the alcohol thing because when you did ask he would start anime crying. So, the both of you took a bottle of beer into the room and opened it and held it under her nose, all it did was make her nose wiggle, then she would mumble something and you would get closer to find out and she would punch you in the face and say, 'Stupid b*tch.' in her sleep. Next you had Kichirou scream in her ear all she was turn on her side, grab the pillow, and cover her face and ears with it. You both even tried getting Yusuke and Keiko to fight in the room Ai was in when they would fight because Kichirou said that Ai and their mom fought alot. All it resulted in she would sit up and yell, "I'm trying to get some sleep b*tch! You wanna beer get it yourself!" then she would fall back down on the bed and sleep.

END FLASHBACK.
You sat on a rock as Ai and Kichirou were playing by the water, you were healed enough to walk, but not enough to fight till tomorrow. Eventually, Kichirou fell asleep in Ai's lap whom was sitting next to you. She was stroking her hand through his hair, the boy practically purred in her arms. It was now or never, "Ai, how did you wake up?" she looked at you, her blue eyes locking with yours. "The smell of alcohol and thr sound of my brothers screams." she said looking at the water again. "I don't believe it Ai, I have a feeling it was something else... we tried to get you up with the smell of beer and Kichirou's screams in your ears. It didn't work. Now tell me, please, as an old and new friend, how did you wake up?" she sighed, "It was never easy keeping things from you Kurama." she said chuckling.

AI'S POV.
You looked at your friend as he asked you how you woke up, you didn't want anyone knowing that you were his reincarnated friend... at least not yet. "The smell of alcohol and the screams of my brother." you said trying to stick with your story, and looked back out at sea, you were hoping that he would believe you, but he didn't. "I don't believe you Ai, I have a feeling it was something else... we tried to get you up with the smell of beer and Kichirou's screams in your ears. It didn't work. Now tell me, please, as an old and new friend, how did you wake up?" you sighed in defeat and started to giggle a bit, "It was never easy keeping things from you Kurama." you said looking at him. "So I will tell you the truth..."

FLASHBACK.
^AI! AI! AI! WAKE UP! WAKE UP D*MNIT!^ 
*Wha-what's going on... who are you?* 
^I am not important right now! Your... OUR brother is in trouble!^

You tried to move your fingers and some of them started to move.

*Stop yelling at me! You sound like my mother!*
^OMG! HE JUST CALLED FOR US! HE SAID 'AI-SAMA!' GET YOUR BUTT OFF THE BED....... NOW!^

^THAT'S IT! I'M TAKING OVER AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU WONT DO WHAT I SAY!^
*Says the immature voice in my head.*
^GAH!^
You blacked out, when you came to you were in front of your brother and the woman you now knew as Keiko, Kichirou had a look of fear in his eyes and he cried tears of joy when you asked if he was okay.

END FLASHBACK.
Kurama was, as of now, laughing his a** of at how you and Kuronue first got in contact. Then he became serious, "So your saying that Kuronue came out and saved your brother?" "Yes." you said "Will I be able to see him?" "I do not know, he often comes only at random times." "A-A-A-AI!? IS THAT YOU?! MASTER WILL BE SO PLEASED! YOUR ALIVE! OH NO! HE WILL BE P*SSED! YOU DIDN'T WIN THE MATCH!" you turned around to find Jiro.
*Great! That is the LAST person I wanted to see!*
^I thought the last person you wanted to see was your mother.^
*Shut-up Kuro-baka!*
^Don't tell me to shut-up! I'm older then you! I am your superior!^
*Okay then... shut-up grandpa!*
You put Kichirou down, Kurama got up with you, he could see you were angry about Jiro being there and he could tell there was something else going on too, but he could tell.
^I'm not that old!^
*I looked into our history, your over 500! To me your considered a grandpa!....... NOW BE QUIET SO I CAN KILL THIS B*STARD GRANDPA!*
^I said don't call me grandpa!^
*And I said to shut-up!*
^You shut-up! Now fight!^
*I ain't listening to you kuso-jiji!*
You pulled out your scythe and dodged as Jiro ran to hit you with his clawed hand. Kurama grabbed his rose whip and started trying to whip the cat. But Jiro was flexible so he was not easily hit.
^For the last time... I'M NOT OLD! I was considered a young man in youkai years!*
*And for the last time shut-up kuso-jiji! I don't care about the flippin' youkai math!*
^If you call me grandpa and kuso-jiji... what do you call Youko? And what about the redheaded Kurama?^
You blocked a hit from Jiro and slashed at him as Kurama hit him in the back with his whip.
*I call Youko Santa Clause! And Kurama Robin Hood!*
^Youko looks nothing like that fat b*stard! And I doubt Robin Hood had rose red hair!^
*Don't be mean! Santa's great!*
^Still stuck on the Santa Clause lie I see... BWHAHAHAHAHA!^ 
*What's so funny? Old man?!*
^Can you imagine Kurama or Youko wearing tights?^
*I saw pictures of you... were you not wearing tights already?*
You swung your blade at Jiro as Kurama had him temporarily stunned with one of his plants.
^HEY! It was NOT tights!^
*Then what was it?*
^Just tight pants^
*Looked like tights to me*
Your scythe went right through Jiro's neck, killing his instantly. 
^They are not tights!^
*Yes they are*
^No they are not!^
*Yes they are!*
^NO THEY ARE NOT! AND DON'T FORGET! YOUR WEARING THEM RIGHT NOW!^
*I know, and man do I look HOTT in them! Probably hotter then you! I make all teh boyz drool!*
^You don't know how many girls have been hanging on my arms while I wore those!^
*OH NASTY! THANKS FOR THE GUTTER MIND GRANDPA!*
^Your welcome! ^_^^
"Are you alright Ai?" you looked at Kurama. Jiro was dead on the floor behind him, "Yeah! I'm right as rain!" you said smiling and walked over to the rock and picked Kichirou up and started walking to the hotel room. Kurama stopped you and grabbed a rag and started wiping your cheek, you blushed, then the blush was gone when you saw blood on the rag. "That neko really got your face Ai." he said as he kept wiping your face. After 5 minutes you both walked into the hotel room. You put Kichriou in bed and looked at your face in the mirror... you saw four scratch marks. *D*mn cat!*
^What? What happened?!^
*Thanks to you bothering me the entire fight my face is half off!*
^WHAT? HOW BAD IS IT?!^
*Oh, my skin is ripped off, my eye is hanging out, two of my teeth are missing, hahahahahahaha!*
^That is not funny!^
*Yes it is grandpa! Now I'm going to bed, night!*
And you walked over to your bed, laid down, covered up, and fell asleep. But little did you know, there was a little shadow on the wall that didn't belong.

Do. Not. Own. YYH.

AI'S POV.

NEXT MORNING.
*Gee! Thanks alot grandpa!*
^What? What'd I do?^
*Because of what you said yesterday... I CAN'T GET KURAMA WEARING TIGHTS DRESSED AS ROBIN HOOD OUTTA MY MIND! YOU STUPID BAT!*
^Hey! Did you know that when you call me names your actually calling yourself the name too?^
*I thought we were different people! Besides, your a few hundred year old guy and I'm a 16 year old girl! See the difference!*
^Hey, we are not as different as you think! Your my reincarnation after all.^
*How the h*ll can you be so calm?! I've got Kurama in tights in my head for Christ's sake and I can't get rid of it!*
^Hahaha, you deserve that!^
*For what?!*
^For constantly calling ma an 'Old Man' and 'Grandpa'.^
*Gah! Fine! You win! I won't call you an old man anymore! Now can you please get the image outta my head before I start laughing at Kurama when he wakes up!*
^Sorry, can't help you.^
*Wha? I thought we were one and the same! We share the same mind... right?*
^Yes... but it's your mind that's generating the image... not mine. Hey here comes Robin Hood now.^_^^
*Well your no help! Baka!*
^Your welcome! ^
"Hey Ai, what's wrong?" asked Kurama as he looked at you. You were resisting the urge to laugh because now your head was playing with you and put the hat on Kurama's head.
"N-nothing Kurama-kun, hahaha, I wish you luck in your next battle!" you saluted him and ran into the next room leaving behind a very confused Kurama.

KURAMA'S POV.
^Hey Kurama, why so glum all of a sudden?^
*I don't know why Youko... But Ai just ran away from me like I my hair was fixed like a cockatoo's head*
^Did you look in the mirror to confirm that theory or not?^
*Youko... I just fixed my hair, there is no way it would look like that in less then 3 minutes.*
^Well... three minutes is a long time and you never know what may happen...^
*Shut-up. Now why did you start talking to me?*
^I asked why so glum and you said that Ai ran out as if your hair looked like feathers... which I think you should look in a mirror just to be sure! Hahahaha!^
*Very funny, funny man! I'm serious!*
^Maybe she's at THAT time of the month.^
*Youko you pervert! You know that bats don't go in heat but only twice a year... and only in Autumnand Winter! And it's almost Summer!*
^I'm not the pervert! You are! You translated what I was saying wrong! I didn't mean THAT time of the month! I meant THAT BLOODY time of the month!^
*......... OHHHHHHHHH! THAT time of the month!*
^Exactly!^
*But wouldn't she be grumpy? She seemed on the verge of laughing* 
^I don't know everything about woman! Your the gentleman who lives with his mother!^
*And your the perv who got into every bed you could.*
^That's not the point! What I'm saying is I may be over 1000 years old... but I don't know everything about the opposite sex... Especially when it comes to their bloody time of the month... it's disgusting!^
*Ohhh, so I found something you don't like talking about huh? >*
^.... Don't you dare!^
*Oh really? Is that a challange?*
^No! Now if you want to know what's up with the little koumori then I suggest talking with her about it.^
*And after I talk with her I'm going to talk with you about the wonders of female menstruation *
^I said don't you dare! Now you go and talk with her before I decide to bother you the entire time. >^
*Okay, okay, okay! You don't have to get all Dr. Evil on me!*
You started walking toward where Ai went. You found her in the kitchen... attacking the chocolate doughnuts... *I knew I shouldn't have bought the chocolate ones! -_-'*
^What's wrong?^
*Ai is eating the chocolate doughnuts as if they will turn to frogs and jumps away like in Harry Potter.*
^Wasn't the pieces of chocolate in Harry Potter already in the shape of frogs?^
*Well, you know what I mean!*
^That the doughnuts are turning into chocolate frogs and she's chasing them around the kitchen?^
*Yeah... whatever. -_-'*
^Be sure to tell me who wins!^ you sweatdropped again at Youko's request and walked up behind Ai, "Hey Ai." just as you said that Ai had taken a bite out of the doughnut she was holding and started choking on it, after a few seconds she got her breathing back, she turned and looked at you. Just as soon as she looked at you, she looked as if she was about to laugh her butt off at your face.
"What's wrong, Ai?" "What do you mean?" she asked taking another bite of a new doughnut she was holding. "What I mean is, what's wrong? You've been acting strange since last night. Are you on your time of the month?" this time when she took a bite out of her doughnut she didn't choke on it, oh no, this time, the doughnut was hanging out of the side of her mouth as she looked at you with three of the following in her eyes.
1. Shock
2. Anger
And 3. Embarrassment
"N-no! I'm not on that!" she said, her face turning red. "Then what is it?" "It's because-" she then stopped and her shoulders started shaking up and down as she was biting her lips to keep a smile from coming on and turning into laughter. She then turned around and ran out the door, "THANKS A LOT KURO! YOU STUPID GRANDPA!" she screamed to high heaven as the door closed behind her.
*Well... at least I know what's going on with her... sort of.*
^Oh, and what is it? Did she confirm that your hair is that of a colorful bird?^
*Shut-up about that Youko! And no, that's not it.*
^Awwww maaaan! I was hoping that was the case!^ you could see Youko huffing away and sit down cross legged with his arms across his chest, pouting.
*Your such a child... a perverted child.*
^Hey! It's not MY fault that the Cockatiel idea came out! Now why was she acting like that?^
*Oh well-*
^Before you answer that please tell me... who won? The girl or the doughnut?^
*You are seriously not asking me that... right?*
^Yes I am! I am as serious as a inu youkai shaking hands with a Neko Youkai and saying 'I'm sorry for all the times I chased you. Can we still be friends?'^
*You know that just went against you right?*
^Just tell me already!^
*Fine, I will humor you and go along with your idiotic moments right now*
^Oh FIANLLY!^ 
*None, the Doughnut turned into a frog and jumped out the window just as a bird flew past and caught it. -_-'*
^Was it a cockatoo?^
*No!*
^Then what was it?^
*Uhhh, a sparrow!*
^Wait a minute! Sparrows are two small to pick up frogs and they don't live near the water!^
*Fine! It was a giant pelican!*
^Okay, I can live with that, now what happened?^
*Too Ai or the Frog? I can guess what happened to the frog*
^NO! Why was Ai acting the way she was?^
*Oh, Kuronue said something or did something that every time she sees me she starts laughing... I don't know what though.*
^Hahaha! If I know Kuro... it's something funny and evil at the same time! >^
*Huh... I wonder exactly what it is.*
^If I know Kuronue... he's most likely got a picture of you wearing tights in her mind.^
*Ha, ha, ha! You are soooo very funny... Mr.Comedian!*

AI'S POV.
You ran from the kitchen into the living room and zoomed through to the bedroom while screaming:"THANKS A LOT KURO! YOU STUPID GRANDPA!" And while saying that you tripped on one of Yusuke's shoes and flew right into Kurama's bed, perfectly I might add!
*Perfect... just perfect!*
^What's wrong?^
*A lot has happened to me in the past three minutes since our last talk Grandpa!*
^And what exactly is that... HEY! YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T CALL ME NAMES ANYMORE!^
*NO! I SAID I WOULDN'T CALL YOU 'OLD MAN' ANYMORE! Now this is a list of what happened to me today... 1. I got the image of Kurama in tights stuck in my head with his band of Merry- oh great!*
^What?^
*Now I got all the boys in my head wearing tights! EWWWWWW! KUWABARA IN TIGHTS!*
^Wow... sucks to be you.^
*You are me Kurobaka! Now! 2. When I saw Kurama my mind decided to play along with the picture and put the red feathered green hat on his head. 3. Kurama looked at me like I lost my head and it was replaced with an acorn. 4-*
^Exactly how big was that acorn?^
*Shut-up! Now 4. He asked if I was on my 'Time of the Month.' 5-*
^Wait a minute! He asked you that?^
*Yeah!*
^He actually asked you that?^
*Yes he did!*
^That's strange... he should know that a bat only gets his/her time of the month only twice a year in the Fall and the Winter.^
*O.O*
^What?^
*That's not what I meant you baka! He asked if I was bleeding from my gentiles!*
^Okay... I didn't need to know that in such a great detail^
*Okay... now that we have THAT outta the way... 5-*
^Are you in your time of the month?^
*What?! NO! Kuronue!*
^I was just wondering because it would explain a LOT right now! ^_^'^
*If you weren't inside my body I'd kill you*
^O.O^
*Are you going to let me continue?*
^O.O^
*Well?*
^Yes ma'am!^
*Good! Now, before I was rudely interrupted!5. I choked on a doughnut. 6.-*
^Ai honestly! Who chokes on a doughnut?!^
*I do! 6-*
^What flavor was it?^
*-_-' Chocolate.*
^BOY! I've heard of Chocolate! But a never knew that it could kill people!^(Note sarcasm)
*Shut-up! 6..................................................................................................*
^Well... are you going to say what 6 is?^
*No, I figured that you might interrupt again so I figured I'de beat you too it.*
^I wont interrupt now say number 6^
*Okay! 6. I tripped-*
^Gotcha!^
*SHUT-UP YOU OLD BAT! Now! 6. I tripped over one of Yusuke's shoes and landed perfectly on Kurama's bed like it was put there just for it to happen! And lets not forget-*
^What exactly is your position on the bed right now?^
*Uhhh, I'm in the middle of the bed on my stomach, with my arms and legs spread out. Why?*
^Do I have to say it?^
*Say what?*
^Image where Kurama would be laying right now if he was still asleep and you fell into the bed with him...>^
*We would be- YOU PERVERTED WRINKLY OLD BAT!*
^Hahahahahahaha! That was priceless! XD^
*Now! Again! Lets not forget my favorite... lucky number 7... I have an Old Fart living inside my body who wont, 1. leave me alone in battles to the point I get hurt! 2. who gave me the image of Kurama in tights in the first place! And now added to the list, DUN, DUN, DUUUUUNNNN! 3. He has now put a very bad picture in my virgin mind!*
^Well sooooorrry^ Kuronue said in a gay voice.
*You know... that made you look even more gayer then your tight pants. -_-'. Now all you needed was to add 'Girlfriend' at the end.*
Just then you heard the door open and you looked to see your brother and Keiko. "Sister, what's wrong? Why did you run out of the kitchen as if you were being chased by something evil?" "The Chocolate Doughnuts I was eating decided to come alive and try to eat me!"
Keiko looked at you non-believing... Kichirou gave you the same look. "Oh alright! But you both must promise not to tell anyone! Especially Kurama. I-" I knew it! You like him!" shouted Keiko. "No, no, no, I-" "She's right! I knew that you liked Kurama-sempai too!" said Kichirou.
*Okay. Now they are getting on my nerves!*
^Whom?^
*Kichirou and Keiko*
^What are they saying?^
*That I like Kurama*
^Don't we all?^
*Not like that! Their talking about him saying that I 'Love' him!*
^Well don't you? I mean, you've got a picture of him in tights in your mind... and now a very naughty picture with it. >^
*AHHHH! MIND RAPE!*
"NO! I'VE GOT A PICTURE OF KURAMA WEARING TIGHTS IN MY MIND BECAUSE SOME STUPID DUMBA** BAT DECIDED TO PLANT THE IMAGE IN MY MIND!" Kichirou and Keiko stopped, then started laughing. The only reason you talked about Kuroune around Keiko was she had met him... so she alredy knew him. "AND RIGHT NOW THE WRINKLY OLD PRUNE'S RAPING MY MIND BY GIVING ME UNWANTED PICTURES!" just then Kichirou and Keiko fell to the ground laughing.

KURAMA'S POV.
^Are you going to find out what it is?^
*Yes, yes, yes, yes, yesyesyesyesyesyesYES! I have been trying to figure it out for the past 10 minutes!*
^Whoa! Kurama, no need to get all mad! Geez!^
You stopped by the door to hear Keiko and Kichriou teasing Ai that she... loved you?
*She loves me?*
^WHOA! Does she really?! Did she tell you that?!^
*No, I'm listening to Kichirou and Keiko's conversation with her right now, they say that-* suddenly Ai started screaming at the top of her lungs: "NO! I'VE GOT A PICTURE OF KURAMA WEARING TIGHTS IN MY MIND BECAUSE SOME STUPID DUMBA** BAT DECIDED TO PLANT THE IMAGE IN MY MIND!AND RIGHT NOW THE WRINKLY OLD PRUNE'S RAPING MY MIND BY GIVING ME UNWANTED PICTURES!"
*Okay... that explains why she's laughing at- YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!*
^What? What happened?!^
*Your right!*
^What do you mean I'm right?^
*Kuronue put a picture in her head of me wearing tights.*
^SCORE! I GET A COOKIE NOW?^
*No, you don't get a cookie.*
^But I wanna cookie!^
*Forget it! Right now I'm trying to figure out what else he's bothering her with...*
^And what is the clue?^
*She said and I quote: "And right now the wrinkly old prune's raping my mind by giving me unwanted pictures" end quote*
^.......Hahahahahahahahahaha! She called him a 'Wrinkly old prune'! Hahahahahahahahahahaha! And because of the fact that I know Kuronue like the back of my hand... and you comment about the tights confirms that I haven't lost my touch... He giving her baaaaaaad pictures for her young mind.^
*Oh really? Like what?*
^Should I give you a picture that probably gave her? >^
*What do you me- OHHHHHHHHHHH! THAT'S WHY SHE'S SO P*SSED RIGHT NOW! He's giving her baaaaaaaad pictures*
^Why are you calling them 'baaaaaaaad' if your blushing and the picture that Kuro probably gave Ai is now in your head and invading mine... Whoa! Keep the pictures coming!^(Note the drool coming out of his mouth right now)
*Oh h*ll no!*
"Hey Kurama!" you looked behind you to see Kuwabara, "We gotta go and get to the arena, our next match is about to begin." "Okay, coming." you sighed and walked with him out the door.

DAIKI'S POV
There was a knock at the door, and with Haru and Jiro not back from their mission yet, you had to get up off your chair and walk over to the door and open it up. Again. You saw the same woman and the same few guys from yesterday, "Again, we are sorry for your loss... do you think that maybe someone is trying to get rid of you?" the woman said as the guys dropped Jiro... who was ripped to shreds... on the ground. "Have a nice day!" the woman said again and walked out the door as if the room was filled with pretty pink butterflies! "SH*T, SH*T, SH*T, SH*T, SH*T, SH*TSH*TSH*TSH****************T! THERE IS NO WAY IN H*LL ONE MAN AND A CHILD CAN DO THIS!" you walked into the bathroom and dug your claws into the tile and started scraping your nails against them leaving deep scratch marks. "Master Daiki-" "WHAT HARU?! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THE WORLD IS AGAINST US?! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT JIRO IS DEAD?! AND HE WAS ONE OF OUR BEST FIGHTERS!" "Daiki-sama, calm down. I have news of what happened." Haru said as he got on his hands and knees and started kissing your feet. That helped you to calm down and your purple eyes went back to their original red color again. You took in a deep breath........ and then let it out. "Okay Haru... what happened?" "I saw that Haru was defeated by the fox, but he was also defeated..." "Defeated by whom?" "He was defeated by Ai... Daiki-danna, she's alive." This made you mad again! "SHE'S ALIVE! THE LITTLE NOBLE B*TCH IS ALIVE?! SHE AND THAT D*MN FOX TRICKED ME! TELL ME HARU! WAS SHE STILL WEARING THE COLLAR?" Haru sighed and kissed your hand, "No King Daiki, she wasn't, they got it off of her somehow." You got up from your sitting position on the counter, "Come Haru... Team Urameshi will be busy today with their fight, lets pay Kichirou and Ai... a little visit... and play a... Little Game." "Oh Daiki! I love games!" "I know Haru... I know..."

I do not own! Not now! Not ever!

AI'S POV.
*Shut-up!*
^Please!^
*Shut-up!*
^Pretty please!^
*Shut-up!*
^I will give you chocolate!^
*Shut-up and I can get that myself!*
^Please! Just one naughty picture!^
*NO! NOW SHUT-THE-F*CK-UP! YOU WONT BE GETTING THE PIC I WAS TRYING TO GET RID OF FOR 20 MINUTES BACK SO EASILY!*
^AWWWW! COME ON! I BET KURAMA SHARES WITH YOUKO!^
*News flash... they are both guys... I am a girl and you are a guy... you are not getting any pictures!*
^PLEASE! JUST ONE! I AM BEGGING YOU! I'VE BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS! I NEED SOMETHING!^
*Ew! No gross! Now shut-up! I'm getting chocolate to drown out your annoying orange voice!*
^Be careful! Chocolate kills!^
*I SAID SHUT-UP YOU OLD SOUR LEMON!*
^Okay, I have two things to tell you. One what is with the random names?^
*I can't call you 'Old Fart' no more, so I am trying out some new material.*
^Okay, and two, did you know that lemon means two things in the human world that I recently learned?^
*Oh, and just what are they?*
^The first lemon is a fruit!... or something... I don't know much about human food.^
*And the second?*
^And the second is called a 'lemon'. It is when humans get pervy and write naughty things on the computer. >^
*O.O*
^>^
*O.O*
^>^
*O.O*
^>^
*EWWWWWWWWW! I won't be eating lemons for the rest of my life!*
^SCORE!^
*You mean that was planned? I already don't eat lemons. I'm allergic! And here I thought you knew that because we are 'one and the same'. >*
^Your not allergic! Your just saying that!^
*Say that all ya want Kurobaka!* you said to him as you walked into the kitchen and started attacking the Dove Chocolate box.
^You hear that?^
*Hear what?*
^That sound. It sounded like the door opened and then closed.^
*Really?*
^Yeah, you better go and check it out... and bring me a naughty picture while your at it!^
*Kuronue! If you were right in front of me I'd strangle you!*
^Awww! Come on! Even half a picture or really blurry would work too!^
*NOOOOOOOO!*
^O.o Okay, don't need to get all T-rex with me.^ you smiled in triumph and continued to eat the chocolate.
^Okay Ai-^
*WHAT?!*
^Oh yes! That's right! Okay T-rex, the door just opened and closed... really.^
*Yeah right. And you want a naughty pic after I go and check it out right?*
^NO!... But if you would after you do that would be wonderful!^
*Okay, no way I am checking it out now.*
^Ai... I am serious! The door opened and closed!^
*Yeah right. Just how serious are we talking about?*
^I am as serious as an Inu Youkai shaking hands with a Neko Youkai and saying 'I'm sorry for all the times I chased you can we still be friends?'^
*.................. You do realize that went against you right?*
^THAT'S NOT THE POINT! CHECK THAT D*MN DOOR!^
*Hey don't you yell at me! I am your host after all! And besides... it was most likely the guys coming back from fighting.*
^JUST CHECK THE DOOR!^
*No.*
^CHECK THE DOOR!^
*No.*
^CHECK IT!^
*No.*
^CHECK IT NOW AI!^
"Hello Ai, good to see you again!" "HOLY CHEESECAKE!" you screamed as you turned around and saw Haru and Daiki. Haru smiled at you so he was the one who spoke.
*I did not what to see that.*
^What? Did Kuwabara finally snap and come running in and glomp you dressed as a Chip n' Dale Dancer?^
*WTF?! NO!*
^Did your mother come? Saying that she wasn't going to hit you and drink anymore?^
*I wouldn't say I didn't want to see that no, I would say 'WHAT THE BLOODY F*CK!'*
^Oh, then what is it?^
*Daiki!*
^Oh.......... shyt!^
*We finally agree on something here*
^Yes we do! ^_^^
"Why little Koumori? Why did you fake death? Was I not a good enough leader?" Daiki said as he started walking up to you, Haru right behind him as a body guard in a way. You growled at him and started backing up.
^You know... if you back up you are going to typically run right into a wall or something.^
*Shut-up!* you ran into a wall.
^Told you!^
*And I said shut-up!*
"ANSWER ME!" shouted Daiki, you saw Kichirou hiding in the door way looking into the kitchen.
*I just thought of something...*
^And what is that?^
*Too little time to explain.*
"YES! YOU WERE A HORRIBLE LEADER DAIKI!" Daiki looked taken aback by your raise in voice. "Really? What did I do wrong?" he asked, walking up to you again, he was now halfway through the kitchen.
*Dumbass taking his sweet f*cking time! And don't you start talking yet!*
^^
"You used me to get into the tournament! You placed a shock collar on my neck and gave me freaking bruises! You threaten to kill me! Then your threaten to kill my brother! IF it wasn't for KURAMA-SEMPAI then I would most likely BE dead! By some other demon and you would be kicked out anyway!" you glanced to see Kichirou got the message and slipped off.
*Yes! I am epic! The message has been sent!*
^^
"Oh really? That's what I learned from my father. And that's what it is going to be like, AGAIN." he said and pulled out another collar. "You are NOT putting that on me!" "Oh yes I am. And Haru, good work." you looked at him puzzled only to see Haru walk through the door with Kichirou in his arms, squirming and trying to hit the Shadow Youkai. "KICHIROU! YOU B*STARD!" "Hahaha, yes I am. Because not only have a found a way for you to do as I say... but now I have another team member." Daiki said and walked up to Kichirou and placed the collar on his neck. "You stupid a**hole! You leave my brother alone!" "Oh? But you said you didn't want the collar ON you. I put it on you alright. I put it on you without putting it ON you." he chuckled.
^^
*What the h*ll are you so happy about?*
^Your plan-^
*Freaking failed!*
^Sh******T!^
"Now not only do I have the collar on you without putting bruises on you, but I also have you on a very short leash, as you could say." he continued with his smirk. "I am going to wipe that smirk off of your freaking face!" "Oh, but Ai! You wouldn't be able too! Daiki-danna would shock KICHIROU." Haru said with pity in his voice as he hit Kichirou for kicking him between the legs.
*Got another idea.*
^^
*And don't start smiling yet!*
^^
"Kichirou?" he stopped fighting Haru once he heard you calling him, "Yes Ai-sama?" "Do you remember how we kept warm in the winters?" "Yes, the fire in the hearth." he replied, if he had ears they would be perked up now. You started walking up to him, "What are you planning you little b*tch?" asked Daiki. "Calming him down." you lied through your teeth. "Yes, the fire. Do you remember how hot the fire was? Or how when the iron bars on the top of the hearth to keep the leaves out, the fire would seem to escape through it, and disappear?" "Yeah Ai-sama! I love fire! Especially at Christmas!" he said, his eyes starting to glow.
*My plan is starting to work*
^^
*Well you don't have to look p*ssed either.*
^^
*Better*
"Do you remember how, when you would close your eyes and sleep next to it, how it felt so warm, and how it felt like a warm feather light blanket had been placed over you?" "Yes! Yes I do Ai!" Now his eyes were glowing completely. You smiled, "Close your eyes, close your eyes and think of yourself as the fire." "Yes Ai-sama." he said and closed his eyes, you looked at Daiki and grabbed the collar with once hand, and in a blink of an eye, you ripped the collar off with all your might. Daiki's eyes widened along with Haru's. Because right where Kichirou's neck was suppose to be, was a circle of fire, acting as his neck, then it changed back into his neck. "Good job Kichirou, you can open your eyes now." he opened his eyes and smiled up at you, "I felt it Ai! I felt the fire!" "I know you did. I know you did." you said and grabbed Kichirou and ran out the door. Daiki and Haru still looking at the spot you were once in with stupid looks.
*I DID IT! IT WORKED!*
^ YAY!^
You ran to the door, only to have it blocked by Daiki, so you ran to the bedroom, only for that door to be blocked by Haru. "Not so tough now that there are only two huh?" "Koumori, you will listen to me. You will do as I say. As the future King of Makai I order you to listen to me!" "Oh, haven't you heard?" you asked him, smirking. He looked at you, his red eyes filled with confusion, "Heard what?" "About the street rat?" "What street rat?" you looked at Kichirou. "Did you hear about the street rat?" he smiled up at you, "Yes I did! It is my favorite story! And my favorite movie!" "Do you remember how the street rat escaped the palace guards?" "Yes! I remember how Aladdin escaped!" "Do you remember exactly how he escaped in the beginning? Before he met the princess?" "Yes I do!" "Wanna tell Daiki how he did it?" "I can't tell him! It's to great of an escape to tell someone, you would have to show them!" "Really?" "Yes Ai-sama! You would have to show him in order for him to know!" Daiki looked interested, "What are you talking about 'great escape'?" he asked. You looked at him, "Aladdin was known as a street rat, he didn't have a place to live, he didn't have a family, he lived life as a common thief. My brother loves him-" "Because he is the best person in the world! He found a genie! Saved the day from from an evil ugly guy! And became prince! And that all happened because of how he would escape bad situations!" "Very good Kichirou." you said to your brother and looked back at Daiki.
*OMG! THIS IS SOOO FUNNY!*
^What?^
*Daiki doesn't know any children's tales and I am telling him how I am going to escape and he is just standing there! Like I am actually just telling a story!*
^What a retard!^
*Exactly!*
"You want to know his 'great escape' in the beginning of his life, that first escape he ever did that was recorded?" Daiki looked at you with a type of lust in his eye, "Tell me the great escape." he said with a smile. "Well... it went something like this." you said and Kichirou threw one of his shoes at Daiki and the other at Haru, getting them both in the crotch. You quickly picked Kichirou up and ran for the window. "Would love to stay and chat, but I got to be somewhere." you smirked and jumped out the window with your brother on your back. You thanked the lord that it was dark out... but not so much that you had no clue how to fly. "AI-SAMA! WE ARE FALLING!" "I CAN SEE THAT!" you screamed as you started flapping, one wing strait and going up and down, and the other bent and going up and down. Hey, at least it was keeping you up.
*Sweet Jesus! I didn't know how hard flying is!*
^Your flying?!^
*Yes! What the h*ll did I just freaking say?!*
^Oh yes, that's right, still in T-rex mode.^
*You gonna give me some pointers or not!*
^Ahhh... nope.^
*I HAVE KICHIROU ON MY BACK AND DAIKI IS PROBABLY UP NOW FROM HIS SHOE-CROTCH ATTACK!*
^You kicked him in the crotch?^
*NO! KICHIROU THREW HIS SHOE! NOW COME ON! I AM IN ONE SPOT AND KICHIROU IS ON MY BACK AND OH SH*T! DAIKI IS LOOKING AT ME OUT THE WINDOW!* you said to Kuronue as you looked and saw Daiki looking out the window and talking with Haru.
^All I can say is...... FLAP! FLAP FOR YOUR LIFE! TEACHING YOU NOW WOULD TAKE 3 HOURS! JUST FLAP!^
*YOUR NO HELP!*
^YES I AM! I JUST TOLD YOU TO FLAP!^
You rolled your eyes and started trying to get the hang of your wings, after about half a minute you started moving outta there. You looked down to see Daiki and Haru at the bottom, just smiling at you and waiting for you to fall. "Great Escape! When are you coming down Koumori?!" asked Daiki. "When your dead and buried! I will come down and dance on your grave! And then dig a hole and take a dump right over your head and bury it!" okay, now Daiki was p*ssed. Just then you shifted your wings a bit and you started flying pretty freaking fast right out of there. "OH CR*P!" "AHHHH AI-SAMA! NOW SO FAST!" "I AM TRYING!" you started flapping slower and you started going slower to the point you were now gliding. You looked down to see Daiki and Haru running after you, "Kichirou I am sorry but I will have to go warp speed!" "NO! DON'T!" "Kichirou! Do you want Daiki and Haru to get us?!" "NO!" "Then I have too! Hold tight!" you said and started flapping faster.
*Guess what?*
^You fell to your doom didn't you?^
*Nope! I'm flappin at over 78 miles an hour!*
^O.O That has got to be an over reaction!^
*Seriously! I am flying fast!*
^How could you learn so fast?!^
*I told Daiki that the day I would land would be the day I would dance and sh*t on his grave and well, you know the rest.*
^O.O Still you have to be-^
*EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE WHEN YOU THINK YOUR GONNA DIE AND YOUR SCARED SH*TLESS! ISN'T THAT WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BECOME A THIEF IN THE FIRST PLACE?!*
^... No Comment...^

As always said, do not own yyh.

KURAMA'S POV.
You were done with the battles for today, FINALLY, and were heading to the hotel room to rest up. As usual, you expected to see a dead body in front of the door or somewhere around, only to find that once you got to the door that no dead bodies were present. That was good, but what wasn't was Youko was bothering you again with his new life mission.
~!@mission: Get Kurama to kiss Ai@!~
You shook your head, he was planing on having you kiss Ai on Halloween and well... the conversation speaks for itself.
^Come on!^
*No.*
^Please!^
*No.*
^Just one night! Then you can tear up the costume, burn it, and place it in with an angry letter to someone!^
*I said no! I am not going to dress as some bird!*
^Not just any bird! Big Bird!^
*-_-' You are so retarded you know that?*
^Only because of the fact that you love her and it's affecting my character because we are the same.^
*Fine then, I will go along, but no. Not Big Bird. I don't wanna look like some big yellow feather duster.*
^Okay then, let's see... how about... How about you go as a giant, talking, doughnut.^
*Youko no. I don't wanna look like... I do not know what to even call it, but no. Out of the question.*
^But it's not just any doughnut. >^
*Really?*
^Yes.^
*What is it? -_-'*
^A giant, talking, chocolate doughnut. She will be all over you.^
*Yeah, she would most likely try to eat me.*
^You do know that that sounded pretty perverted right now right?^
*Youko, just get on with it.*
^Okay, okay, okay. Just trying to lighten the mood here...................................... BWHAHAHAHAHA!^
*What now?*
^Go as Robin Hood! Tights and all!^
*O.O*
^^
*No, I am not going to wear tights.*
^Wha? Why? Women love men who can make them laugh! And the tights will achieve that!^
*Nope, next one please.*
^Come on! It's not just any tights! It's Robin Hoods tights!^
*Next one*
^Your no fun.^
You just ignored him and rolled your eyes, you walked into the hotel room to see that something was not right. Kichirou's shoes were on the floor by the front door and the bedroom door, and the window was open. "Okay, what just happened?" Kuwabara said as he followed you into the room with Yusuke and Hiei behind. You looked around and saw the kitchen door open, you walked into the kitchen to see a collar that looked just like the one Ai was wearing till you and the others got it off of her was laying on the ground and...
*She attacked the Dove Box.*
^OMG! SHE DID?!^
*Yeah, she did. Ate every last piece.*
^OMG! THOSE POOR BIRDS! WHO KNEW SHE WOULD EAT BIRDS!^
*Youko, I meant the Dove Chocolate Box.*
^Oh really? Okay then, thats normal.^
You sweat dropped at him and walked back out of the kitchen and back into the living room. "Hey Kurama, we are gonna go and look for Ai and Kichirou. Wanna come?" asked Yusuke. You nodded your head and began following him with Kuwabara and Hiei, the girls deciding to stay in the hotel room in case the two came back.

AI'S POV
You and Kichirou were sitting in a cave on one of the cliffs on the isle. "Ai, what are we gonna do? They are most likely still looking for us." cried Kichirou. You smiled a weak smile at him and ruffed his hair, it had looked a lot like Hiei's hair from the flight but you had fixed it. "Don't worry. They won't find us here. And if they do we will use another one of our 3,456 great escapes." he smiled and laughed, "I loved our 'Aladdin's Great Escape'. It was fun and so cool!" You chuckled with him.
^You may show him a happy face but you are nervous.^
*I am not! I can kick Daiki's pale, skinny mutt-butt to the grave! Then do as I told him and dancing on it then sh*t over his head!*
^You are nervous^
*No I'm not you old prune!*
^Yes you are.^
*No I'm not!.*
^Yes you are.^
*No I'm not!*
^Yes you are because your nervousness is coming to my side of this body. I can feel it. I know you are nervous.^
*Shut-up!*
^You arrrrrrreeeeee!^
You decided to ignore the Annoying Bat. "Hey Ai-sama?" "Hmm?" you asked as you looked out of the cave. "How did you get that collar off of me?" you looked over to your little brother. He showed a face of curiosity and determination. You sighed, you would have to tell him sooner or later. "Kichirou..." you started as you got up and walked over to him, sitting down next to him. "You know the fact that we don't know our father?" you asked him, looking at him and wrapping an arm around him. He hugged you. "Yeah, I wish I knew daddy." "Well... I found out something..." he looked up at you, "What is it?" "Well..."
*Should I really tell him?*
^Tell him what?^
*About our father... s*
^That's right, before you and Kichirou ran from home you found out that you both have different fathers.^
*Yeah... should I tell him?*
^That's up to you... because if he gets p*ssed I don't want to be involved.^
*Scardy cat!*
^I'm not scared! I just don't wanna feel his little wrath. Hahaha.^
*You do know I have been training him?*
^Oh yeah... forgot that.^
*So what should I do?*
^I think that you should tell him... but make mommy look like a 'ugly evil guy' from Aladdin. Hahaha.^
"Well what? What is it Ai?" you looked down at him, *God I hope he doesn't get p*ssed... or so sad that he tries to run away and then Daiki gets him.*
^Good luck with that.^
*Your no help!*
^Yes I am, I just said good luck with that.^
You sighed, "Kichirou... we... you... your father... was something... I don't know what... but you inherited his powers." "What do you mean 'powers'?" You sighed again. "I don't know much, but what I do know is this. Remember the scream I showed you how to do?" "Yeah." "You are using and controlling the wind when you use that. And today, when I told you to visualize yourself as the fire from the hearth. You said that you felt the fire, you remember that?" you asked him. "Yeah." he replied. "Well, you were controlling fire and your neck turned into the fire, so I was able to take it off." "Really?" "Yeah." "And what about our father?" "Kichirou... your father... and my father... are very different people. Your father could control the elements from what I have learned... and my father I do not know." "You mean we are not siblings?" "Yes we are. Kichirou, we are half siblings." "But you always said we were full brother and sister Ai?" "I thought so to till---" "Stop lying!" he said as he shot out of your arms and stood up, looking at you with hate in his eyes.
*Well this stinks.*
^What happened?^
*He's mad at me.*
^Oh... sh*t.^
*Exactly!*
"I haven't lied to you Kichirou!" "Yes you have! You have been ever since mom started drinking! After she started drinking you changed! She would beat you and you would say that you wouldn't feel anything! I knew it wasn't true! Then after she started wasting her money on beer you would go out at night and bring home money to last a month! I asked what you did and you said that you did odd jobs! I never believed it and I don't believe it now! But I didn't press you about it! And now your saying things about me and my father that you say your not even the child of! What am I to believe?! This entire time when I asked what you knew about my father you said you knew nothing!" "Kichirou! That's because I didn't know anything about your father, my father, or the fact that we were half siblings till recently!" "I don't believe you!" he said and stalked off to the back of the small cave. He sat down with his back to you and pouted. You sighed.
*At least he didn't try to break the wall or something with an earth power I didn't teach him yet.*
^That's for sure.^
Just then Kichirou picked up a rock and threw it to the side of the cave, making the rock break and a nice hole showed up where the rock hit it.
*I take that back.*
^He broke a wall with a rock didn't he?^
*Yeah. How'd you know?*
^Uhh... just a lucky guess.^
*Really?*
^Yeah.^
*Okay then... ya old pruny bat.*
^Stop calling me names!^
*That got the old Kurobaka back!* you thought a snickered and snickered a bit. "Kichriou..." ".........." "Kichriou, baby brother---" "Don't call me 'baby brother'. I am not your brother." "Yes you are, we are related through mom." "But you remember that I stopped calling her that when I was 4 right? She's not my mom. Your not my sister." you sighed and looked out the mouth of the cave again.
^Okay, why are you sad? No that's not the word. Why are you depressed? I can feel it creeping up on me!^
*SHUT-UP!*
^I see, your depressed and yelling. Why?^ you rolled your eyes and sighed.
*Kichirou hates me and says that I am not his sister.*
^But you are. You both are siblings by blood.^
*I KNOW THAT!*
^Oh cr*p! T-rex's back!^
*Kuronue! He hates me! He said that to him we are no longer brother and sister! He stopped calling our mom 'mom' when he was 4! In his mind he is not related to her at all! And now he's doing that to me!*
^..........^
You sighed again, the sun was starting to rise. "Come on Kichirou, let's get back to the others." you said as you stood up and started walking towards him. He didn't look at you when you stopped right next to him, "I'm not going anywhere with you." he stated. "Fine then, if you don't wanna see the others again then I wo---" "I will go with you, as long as I get to see Kurama-sempai. And you leave me alone and I never have to see you ever again." yet again, you sighed.
^Do not agree.^
*SHUT-THE-H*LL-UP!*
^Don't do it!^
"Okay then Kichirou, I will take you to the others and you wont have to bother with me anymore."
^YOU IDIOT!^
*WHO'S THE T-REX NOW HUH?! YOU WRINKLY OLD PRUNE! I CAN DO WHATEVER I D*MN WELL PLEASE! IN FACT! IF I COULD RIGHT NOW I WOULD FLIP THE BIRD AT YOU!* Kichirou didn't say anything as he got up and walked over to you, you got on one knee and he climbed onto your back. You made sure to get the feel of your wings before taking off again, you had a flashback from when Kuronue first got his wing, he had to learn how to fly with it so it was like teaching a 2 year old how to walk. You made sure to glide slowly, so Kichirou wouldn't be scared sh*tless and his hair would be sticking up again. The wind whipped against your face, it felt good, but even now it was stinging your eyes. You flew over to the hotel room, happy that the window was still open. You slipped inside and let Kichirou run into the kitchen. You smiled when you heard the girls laughter when they saw Kichirou, you quickly slipped through the window again and started flying again before they could see you. You knew that they must be worried for you, but you wanted to be alone right now. You started flying faster and faster as you could feel tears start to come on. You flew back to the cave and flew right in, not bothering to land on your feet, so you just skidded right in, the tears finally coming out. "Kichirou... hates me... and this all started with my mother... and... Daiki..." you got off the floor and got rid of your tears. "Daiki, if you had left us well enough alone. I wouldn't have had to tell my brother anything about his powers, or the fact that we are only half related. It's because of you, that I lost him." you walked to the mouth of the cave and grabbed your scythe. "Your dead. You stupid f*ck!" you said and put your scythe back onto your hip and kicked off into the sky. You were going to find Daiki, and you were going to kill him, even if it meant that you would loose your life.
^WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! HE'S GONNA KILL YOU!^
*DON'T YOU GET IT?! IF I RUN THEN HE WILL GO AFTER KICHIROU!*
^THEN STAY NEAR KICHIROU!^
*I CAN'T! HE CUT ME OUTTA HIS LIFE I AM TO RESPECT HIS WISHES!*
^AI! LISTEN TO ME! THIS IS SUICIDE! YOU DON'T HAVE ANYONE TO HELP YOU AND YOU HAVEN'T EVEN FULLY LEARNED HOW TO CONTROL OUR POWERS YET!^
*I DON'T GIVE A D*MN! I CAN CONTROL MY POWERS JUST FINE! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!*
^AI! LISTEN TO ME! WHAT WILL KICHIROU DO IF WE DIE?!^
*HE WILL STAY WITH KURAMA! HE MADE THAT PROMISE!*
^..........^
you flew over the island and didn't find Daiki anywhere. You finally found him sitting in one of the seats watching the fighting. You stopped flying and landed on the ground behind the crowds seats. Your eyes on Daiki.
^You don't want to see Kichirou and the others right now right?^
*Yeah, what of it?*
^Why did you go to the arena? THEY ARE ALL MOST LIKELY THERE!^
*I heard that Team Urameshi is taking a day off today while some of the other teams who too a break yesterday catch up.*
^That still doesn't mean that they wont be here!^
*Kurobaka... shut-up... or I will have you exorcised!*
^Ahh, but you can't do that. You are my reincarnation. That wont work.^
*Shut-up or I am going to kill everyone here!*
^-grumble-Fine^

KURAMA'S POV
You looked all night... and now you were looking all day. And on top of that Youko became a worriednuisance.
^Have you found her yet?^
*No. I haven't Youko. That's about the 50th time you have asked that in the past three hours!*
^Well I am so sorry! But it looks like in my eyes you don't even care about her and I know you do. You are just as worried about her as I am. It just makes me wonder why you are not look FAST ENOUGH!^
*Youko stop it or I will bring it up!*
^Bring what up? A picture of her masturbating?... On second thought yeah, bring that up!^
*I meant... menstruation. >:3*
^O.O... I said don't you dare!^
*Is that a challenge?*
^Stop it!^ you chuckled a bit. By now Yusuke had thought it would be a better idea to split up. Hiei would check the forest. Kuwabara would check the caves. Yusuke himself would check all the hotel rooms in all the hotels on the island... which was suicide. And you would check the arena. You walked into the halls and up the stairs, it would be easier to look from the top of the arena behind the crowd then the bottom. Just as soon as you got to the top, *AI! I FOUND HER!*
^You found her?! WHERE?!^
*She's standing behind the crowd, looks like she's trying not to be seen.*
^Are you going to her now?^
*What do you think?! Yes I am! Whoa!*
^What? She flash you?^
*WTH?! NO!*
^Then what happened?^
*Her eyes, and the way she is standing. She is focusing on someone in the crowd.*
^How does she look?^
*She's standing with her hand on her scythe. She is staring into the crowd, as if she is trying to set one of the viewers on fire. And she looks as if she is either really depressed or really p*ssed off.* just then, a youkai walked up to her. You were now close enough to hear what they were saying. "Do you have a ticket?" the youkai asked her, "Do I need one?" she replied. "Yes you do." "Why do I need one?" "You need one to even be here!" the youkai was starting to get mad. "Really? I need one to be here?" "Yes you do! Now do you have a ticket or not?!" you saw Ai look at the youkai. It scared you actually, "You smell." she said and grabbed her scythe and cut his head off. She then got back to looking in the one spot in the crowd.
*Whoa. She just cut that youkai's head clean off! And just started looking back into the crowd with a blank expression.*
^Good luck getting to her without your head being loped off.^
*Your no help.*
^Your welcome. ^
*Nows not the time for idiotic moments!*
^Yes it is. We found Ai. :3^ you mentally smacked him in the back of the head just as soon as you got to Ai. "Ai, what happened to you?" she didn't looked at you, she had her eyes glued to someone in the crowd, but you couldn't find who it was. "This is all his fault." you looked at her and blinked. "What"? you asked her. She looked at you, she had hate in her eyes, along with...
*Tears?*
^What?^
*It looks as if she has been crying.*
^Find out about what.^
*That's what I am going to do.* "Ai, what happened?" you asked her again. She pointed into the crowd, you followed it to see Daiki sitting in one of the seats, watching the fighting, and looking 'very' enthusiastic, he looked as if he was about to fall asleep. "This is his fault, and my mothers, and Kichirou and my fathers faults." "What do you mean?" you then thought of something.
*Did she just say 'Kichirou and my fathers faults?*
^Did she really say a typo while she was talking?^
*I do not think so... maybe Kichirou and she have... different fathers?*
^Could be? Did it say that on her file?^
*I never got a file on her. Koenma never gave us a file.*
^Then why would he have you help Kichirou look for Ai, if he wasn't going to give at least one of you a file on her?^
*Maybe............. you know... your right about that.*
^I know I am! ^
She looked back to Daiki again, "If he left us alone, I wouldn't be in this form and Kichirou and I would be happy. If my mother hadn't have been such a wh*re when she was younger, I wouldn't be here. If my mother hadn't carted Kichirou's father away, Kichirou would have known his father. All in all, through all this, I blame myself. If I wasn't here in the first place, Kichirou wouldn't have a reason to hate me." That shocked you a bit.
*Okay this is confusing.*
^What is?^
*She says that she blames her mother, father...s, and Daiki for Kichirou hated her now, yet she also blames herself.*
^What happened with her and Kichirou?^
*That's what I'm gonna find out.*
"Ai, what happened? Tell me." "Kichirou asked about something, I answered, and now just like he has done with our mother... he has done to me." she said, unemotional. You blinked at her again and grabbed her shoulders, "What's going on?!" she smacked your hands away. "When Kichirou was 4 he stopped calling mother his mom and through that in his mind he is no longer related to her. I told him that I found recently we are half siblings and related through her. He accused me of lying. Which I did only to protect his small mind for he would never understand it. He said that because she is not his mother and he is not related to her that I am not related to him and no longer his sister. He tries and succeed to ignore her in a way and treat our mother as a complete stranger... he said that he never wanted anything to do with me and to never see me again. So if I am near him, or away from him, he will never see me and he will cut me out of his life." she said as her hand went back down and she looked at Daiki again.
*You were right.*
^What was I right about?^
*She and Kichirou have different fathers.* the fox didn't say anything back. "Now I know what I have to do..." she started. You jumped on the first thing you thought of. "Oh h*ll no are you gonna kill yourself!" she glared at you, scaring the cr*p outta you. "I wasn't gonna do that! Baka! I am talking about protecting Kichirou!" you didn't say anything back because she continued, "I will continue to protect him! And I will start by killing that rat b*stard sitting over there! Because he will go after Kichirou if he has not caught me!" you were even more freaked when she started laughing. "But remember what I said to you Kurama. About protecting Kichirou. Because I don't know if I will live the battle I am about to go into." she said. "No, I will not do that. Because you are not going to do that." you said to her and jumped her. She only slipped under you and flapped her wings, flying to the other side of the arena. You were actually very surprised that no one saw her. You started running around the arena and beat her to the other side. She was coming towards you, she smiled at you and flew over you and out of the arena and to the outside. *Sh*t!*
^What?^
*She is planning on killing Daiki and she is planning on killing herself while doing it!*
^Well stop her!^
*I'm trying!*
^That's not good enough!^
*Then you do something!*
^Then let me out!^
*Oka--- on second thought no! You would kill the entire arena to get her!*
Right now she was flying over your head, going round and round the arena so you would be able to follow her, but you couldn't get her.
^What is she doing that I would do that?^
*WHAT DO YOU F*CKING THINK?! I'M CHASING HER AROUND THE D*MN ARENA! AND OMG!*
^What?^
*SHE'S LAUGHING!*
^O.O... She really is Kuronue's reincarnation. She has his evil side no doubt.^ the thief said, remembering how when he and Kuronue were younger and before Kuronue got his wing in a heist... he would fly around the hideout and not come down to the point Youko had to go after him.

FLASHBACK YOUKO'S POV
You were walking around the hideout, trying to find Kuronue. You had just discovered that one of your rubies were missing and wanted him to help you find it. You had it locked up in a youkai made safe with a man-eating plant next to it and the ruby was gone. You didn't want it to get into anyones hands, because it had a 'power' to make youkai get evil thoughts. You finally decided to look outside and you found him sitting upside down in a tree, looking like he was holding and looking at something. "Kuronue, what are you looking at?" "Holy cr*p!" said the bat as he fell out of the tree and landed on his head with his feet in the air. You looked at him puzzled and scratched your head, "Is there something going on that I should know about?" you asked him. He quickly got up off the ground and saluted you. "Nope! Nothing at all!" he said, you could tell something was up. "Kuronue, I have found that one of my rubies are missing?" "Which one?" "The one I have behind the man-eating plant?" "The one in the dungeon? I thought that was that ningen sword Excalibur?" "No, that ones the foot-eating plant." "Ohhhh! The one in the attic? I thought that was King Enma's first crown." "No, no, no. That ones the head-eating plant." "Okay, gotcha. The one in the girls bathroom. I thought it was protecting the girls from when the other thieves get horny?" you smacked your head. "That's the testicle-eating plant. I mean the one in the corner of my room." "OHHHHHH! THAT RUBY!" "Yes, that ruby, I want you to help me find it." "Uhhh... okay." Kuronue said with a creepy smile. You just shrugged it off and went to find it with him.

FEW HOURS LATER
"Youko, are you sure that it may still be here? We have been searching for hours!" the Koumori said as he flopped down onto your bed. So far you looked all over the hideout and couldn't find it. Just then you heard evil laughter. You ignored it, "Yes we are going to find it. And we will keep finding it." "Okay then, buh-bye." "Wha?" you asked as you looked at your friend and he hightailed it out the door. "Crap, he has it." you thought out loud and started running after him, soon ending up outside. Just as soon as you got outside, he was flying through the air. "Can't catch me!" he laughed and it p*ssed you off because he was flying low, but not low enough for you to get him. All in all, you never got that ruby back.

END FLASHBACK
You chuckled a bit and continued after her not noticing the crowd slowly disappearing because the fights were over for today.

AI'S POV
You were watching Daiki when some youkai walked up to you and asked if you had a ticket. "Do you have a ticket?" he asked you, you were about to fall over but kept from doing it.
*Sweet Jesus!*
^What?^
*The youkai that just came up to me to ask if I had a ticket... stinks like f*ck!*
^Really? What does he smell like?^
*I don't know how to describe it. But I will do it the best I can. He smells like limburger cheese, rotten eggs, and what smells like last weeks tuna from school.*
^Wow! That must really stink!^
*It does! Wanna trade noses with me right now?*
^OMG! PLEASE! ANYTHING BUT THAT!^
*Okay then, can I kill him?*
^YES! JUST PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME SMELL HIM!^ "Do I need one?" "Yes you do."
*Holy sh*t covered tangerines!*
^What?^
*He smells even worse when he talks! You sure you don't wanna give me a break?*
^Oh h*llllllllll no!^
"Why do I need one?" "You need one to even be here!""Really? I need one to be here?" "Yes you do! Now do you have a ticket or not?!"
*That's it! The stink has got to go!* "You smell." you said to him smiling and took off his head in one swing.
*Well. That helped the smell a bit.*
^Good!^
"Ai, what happened to you?" you knew it was Kurama, you saw him when you got rid of the stink that would have even killed the o-zone layer. "This was all his fault." you stated, looking at Daiki again. "What?" you heard him ask you."Ai, what happened?" he asked again. You pointed to Daiki, "This is his fault, and my mothers, and Kichirou and my fathers faults." "What do you mean?" he asked you. You glared at the dog, "If he left us alone, I wouldn't be in this form and Kichirou and I would be happy. If my mother hadn't have been such a wh*re when she was younger, I wouldn't be here. If my mother hadn't carted Kichirou's father away, Kichirou would have known his father. All in all, through all this, I blame myself. If I wasn't here in the first place, Kichirou wouldn't have a reason to hate me.""Ai, what happened? Tell me." he seemed to plea. "Kichirou asked about something, I answered, and now just like he has done with our mother... he has done to me." "What's going on?!" he asked and gripped your arms none to gently.
*Holy cr*p he's gotta grip!*
^Oh... did Kurama show up and grope you or something?^(Note the hopefulness)
*WTF?! NO! HE LOOKS AS IF HE WANTS TO STRANGLE ME FOR INFO ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CAVE!*
^Then tell him.^
*Okay.*
You grabbed his hands and threw them away from you, "When Kichirou was 4 he stopped calling mother his mom and through that in his mind he is no longer related to her. I told him that I found recently we are half siblings and related through her. He accused me of lying. Which I did only to protect his small mind for he would never understand it. He said that because she is not his mother and he is not related to her that I am not related to him and no longer his sister. He tries and succeed to ignore her in a way and treat our mother as a complete stranger... he said that he never wanted anything to do with me and to never see me again. So if I am near him, or away from him, he will never see me and he will cut me out of his life." you said as you glared at Daiki again. Oh how you wanted to walk up to him right now and strangle the cr*p outta him. "Now I know what I have to do..."
*Kuro... we are gonna rip Daiki to shreads.*
^How many times do I have to tell you this. You are the reincarnation of a thief that can fight but prefers not to. And plus that because of that fact you are my reincarnation you cannot see in the sun all that great.^
*Oh shut-up!*
"Oh h*ll no are you gonna kill yourself!" you looked at him with murder in your eyes. "I wasn't gonna do that! Baka! I am talking about protecting Kichirou! I will continue to protect him! And I will start by killing that rat b*stard sitting over there! Because he will go after Kichirou if he has not caught me! But remember what I said to you Kurama. About protecting Kichirou. Because I don't know if I will live the battle I am about to go into." you chuckled.
*HOLY F*CK!*
^What?^
*NOT ONLY IS KURAMA ABOUT OT JUMP ME! BUT THE STINK RETURNS! AND THE FACT THAT THE STINK IS RIGHT UNDER ME IF HE DOES GET ME I'M GONNA FALL ON TOP OF IT!*
^RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!^(Note he is not being sarcastic)
You took his advice without complaint and dodged Kurama by going under him between him legs and flying off to the other side of the arena.
*Whooo! At least I smell the smell no more.*
^^
You saw Kurama on the other side already.
*Kurama just beat me to the other side of the arena. So he will jump me when I get there because for some reason he thinks I'm gonna kill myself.*
^>:3^
*Okay what's with the face?*
^Kurama might and might not remember this... start flying around, make sure he can follow you but cannot get you out of the air. I did that on him once... 50 times actually... it was the funniest thing I had ever seen!^

FLAHBACK KURONUE'S POV
You were hanging in a tree. You had just stolen one of Youko's rubies which he claims has some sort of power to make youkai do evil things. You wanted to know what evil things it would do... that and you like glowy red things. You had to get past Kurama's man-eating plant which you put to sleep for a bit with your pendent so it was actually very easy to get the ruby. "Kuronue, what are you looking at?" "Holy cr*p!" you said and lost your grip on the tree branch, making you fall to the ground and land on your head with you feet in the air, *Whelp, this is typical.* you thought as you started getting up off the ground. "Is there something going on that I should know about?" You quickly got off the ground and saluted him, *Well I feel like an idiot.* "Nope! Nothing at all!" "Kuronue, I have found that one of my rubies are missing?" "Which one?" "The one I have behind the man-eating plant?" "The one in the dungeon? I thought that was that ningen sword Excalibur?" "No, that ones the foot-eating plant." "Ohhhh! The one in the attic? I thought that was King Enma's first crown." "No, no, no. That ones the head-eating plant." "Okay, gotcha. The one in the girls bathroom. I thought it was protecting the girls from when the other thieves get horny?" "That's the testicle-eating plant. I mean the one in the corner of my room." "OHHHHHH! THAT RUBY!" "Yes, that ruby, I want you to help me find it." "Uhhh... okay." you said and attempted to smile, he looked at you with a freaked out look but didn't say anything about it and you both started looking.

FEW HOURS LATER
It was fun to have the ruby and Youko not know about it... but now it was just tiring!"Youko, are you sure that it may still be here? We have been searching for hours!" you said as you flopped down on the bed and glanced at him, slowly taking the ruby out of your pocket. Just then you got an evil idea, "Yes we are going to find it. And we will keep finding it." "Okay then, buh-bye." "Wha?" he asked and you ran out the door before he could turn his head. Now this was fun, very fun. You ran outside and started flying and got an even more evil idea, just as soon as you saw him you started flying at a low hight so he could see and follow you, but high enough that he couldn't get you, even with the rosewhipe. "Can't catch me!" you laughed just to piss him off. All in all, you kept the thing because it was just way too fun running from Youko when he was after you to get it back.

END FLASHBACK
*OMG! REALLY?! YOU ACTUALLY DID THAT! BUWHAHAHAHAHA!*
^Yes I did. You sound amused and proud in a way.^
*Man! If I had that ruby...!*
^You do have that ruby.^
*Your joking right?*
^Ai. Does this look like the face of a joker? ^
*I don't think I should answer that.*
^Well look on the left side of the hat, by the ear inside the ribbon tied on the hat with the buckle.^
You felt around and pulled out the ruby.
*ARE YOU SH*TTING ME?! OMFG!*
^Now you know why we are both so evil to each other, it's the ruby.^
*Now I got an evil idea for Kurama!*
^You are me!^(note Is very proud right now)
You held the ruby in your hand and looked at it for a bit before quickly putting it back where you found it, you looked over at Kurama who was waiting for you and you smiled and flew right over him and started circling the arena. Soon you started laughing whenever you would look down at him, he looked:
1. P*ssed off
2. Distressed
3. Annoyed
and 4. Happy??? Or was it something else??? You didn't know. You figured it was happy.You continued to fly around.
*OMG! HE'S GOT LIKE 4 DIFFERENT EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW!*
^What are they?^
*P*sses, distressed, annoyed, and I I can't really tell the last one but I think it's happy.*
^Really. >:3^
*Yeah. >:3*
^Keep flying.^
*I plan to.*
You didn't know that Daiki had noticed you were there and had been watching for the past 30 minutes since the crowd disappeared. And both you and Kurama didn't know that the gang was on the other side of the arena, watching. Even Kichirou.

KICHIROU'S POV
You and the others waited for hours for Kurama to come back, and you didn't know where Ai went. "Don't worry Kichirou, Kurama will come back and we will find Ai." said Yukina. "No. You don't understand." "Don't be sa---" started Keiko till you cut her off. "YOU DON'T GET IT! I AM THE REASON AI LEFT WHEN SHE DID!" everyone looked at you, "What happened?" asked Yukina. You sat down on the couch and sighed. "She told me about my father. Who she said is not her father. And that her father is not my father. And that we are related through our mother. And she said that my father had some sort of powers. I told her she was lying. Which is true, ever since mom started drinking and beating us she would lie to me a lot. I guess because she didn't want me to feel bad for her or she wanted to show that she was strong enough to not be worried over. She is a very good lier, but because of the fact that I am her brother I can tell when she is or not. She wasn't lying when she told me about my father, but I was mad because I felt lied to because I would always ask if she knew anything about my father and she didn't." Keiko sat next to you, "Don't worry, we will find her---" "WE MIGHT HAVE A 50% CHANCE OF FINDING HER! AND IF WE DO WE HAVE A 20% CHANCE OF GETTING HER TO COME BACK WITH US!" you yelled at her. You started talking again before anyone else could, "I TOLD HER THAT I HATED HER! SHE KNOWS THAT EVER SINCE I WAS 4 I NEVER SAW OUR MOTHER AS MY MOTHER! I TREATED OUR MOTHER AS SOME SORT OF STRANGER OR EVIL BABYSITTER! I DISOWNED MY MOTHER! I SAID THAT BECAUSE WE AREN'T RELATED THROUGH ONE OF OUR FATHERS THAT SHE IS NOT MY SISTER! I TOLD HER TO GO AWAY AND THAT I NEVER WANTED TO SEE HER AGAIN!" you said and picked up a pillow and started hitting it. "Calm down." said Yusuke as he ran and grabbed your arms. "I CAN'T!" "WHY NOT?!" he asked you, you kicked him in the shin. Everyone was snickering at him. You sat back down, "She said that she would take me back here, and that I would never see her again. Because I made her promise that if I would go back with her, then I would be with you guys and I would never see her again... And when my sister makes a promise... she keeps it." "Where are you going?" you heard Yusuke asked someone, you looked up to the door. "I am going to see if I can find Kurama and Ai." said Boton and she walked out the door.

"WAIT FOR US!" shouted everyone and they hightailed it out of the hotel room with you following close behind with Hiei.
AN HOUR LATER
You all had been looking around and decided to try the arena. Once you and Hiei got there you saw everyone looking at the top of the arena where the seats were. You looked up and felt regret, it was Ai. And she looked like she was having fun making Kurama chase after her. "I am so sorry Ai-sama. Please come back." you whispered, but you were sure that she probably didn't hear you.

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.

STORY START
AI'S POV
You sat back in your cave, when you had heard Kichirou say your name, you looked down and saw him and flew for it against Kuronue's wishes. And that's what he was doing now.
^Go back to the boy! NOW!^
*Why should I? Your not my father.*
^But you were me at one time, now be good and listen to your old self and GO! BACK! TO! THE! BOY!^
*No.*
^Stubborn as usual.^
*And proud of it. But your not happy that I have the evil ruby now are you not?*
^More like annoyed. Now please go and see your brother.^
*No.*|
^Damn, thought it would work.^
*Crap!*
^What?^
*Daiki found my cave!*
^Get away!^
*I would if he wasn't holding my wing right now!*
"Hello Ai, good to have you back. Now, let's go and get your brother." said Daiki his red eyes getting tinged with purple as he lifted you up and onto your feet with your wings. "OW!" you screamed, you didn't like how badly your wings hurt due to his pulling, and you walked with him cooperatively. You sighed, a tear in your eye. How were you going to get out of this one?
^I told you to go to Kichiru.^
*Shut-up!*
^Back on your period huh?^
*I am not now shut-up!*
^Okay, okay, okay jeez.^
More tears fell from your eyes as you were pulled through the caves and to the sandy beach below. You knew you should have listened to Kuronue, and now you were beating yourself up for it. Daiki saw how sad you were and smiled, pulling you to him, though he still had a pretty good hold on your wing, "Don't be sad, don't worry, you will be my queen after all." he stated happily as he licked your tears away. "Get away from my YOU B*STARD!" you screamed and pushed him away from you, his hold on your wing loosening and you turned and ran for it, only to run into something solid. You looked up and saw a see-through black wall. You got up and ran another way, only to bump into it again, this continued to happen till you were in a literal box of black energy, Haru smiling at his creation. You heart was pounding against your chest as your fists were pounding against the energy box, which would crackle and shock you upon impact but you couldn't give a care about the fact that it shocked you. Tears continued to fall down your face, more and more of them from all the years that you've held them in you couldn't hold them in anymore. You couldn't be the tough girl that everyone didn't have to worry about anymore. You just wanted to be in Kichirou's hold and have Kurama there with you at the moment. "Let me out!" you screamed as more of the sliver drops landed on the ground by your feet. Daiki smiled, "You wont be leaving that box for awhile, so why don't you just sit back, relax, and watch the show." he said with he laughed between words. "What do you...?" you asked but you were answered when you heard a loud scream and a big gust of wind flew by and knocked Daiki off his feet, though with Haru being a shadow be wasn't knocked down. You looked behind you and saw: EVERYBODY! Everyone you had met here in this d*mn isle was standing behind you. "Let my sister go! You b*stard!" you heard Kichirou yell and he raised his hand, made a grabbing motion with his hand, and pulled a boulder out of the side of the rock wall and threw it at Daiki, who quickly dodged, his ears and tail coming out. He growled, "You will not take her from me again! Haru, fight them!" he said and even before you could even blink, the black box was down and you felt something hit the back of your head, making you pass out.

KICHIROU'S POV
You growled loudly as you watched Daiki knock out your sister and grab her, running. It made you so mad, that wings popped out of your back. You had found out in the past few hours you had been searching for Ai, from Hiei, that you were an elemental Dragon, and a rare one at that. So you could control any element, and let's just say in the few hours after Ai ran away again, Hiei helped you along with the others to quickly unlock all your powers. "Let my sister go!" you yelled, feeling your canines grow large as your ran after him, using your wings to help you catch up with him, only to feel a foot in your face pushing you down to the ground. You growled and melted into the sand, quickly popping up behind Daiki and kicking him in the back, making him drop Ai. Daiki growled as he shot up and punched you square in the face, sending you flying to the ground again. You looked over to the others, hoping that they would HELP YOU. Only to find that Haru had their hands full, even the humans. You quickly melted into the sand again and popped up next to Ai, holding her hand, "Ai, wake up!" you said and ducked when a scythe was headed in your direction. You quickly shot back up, running to the side to keep Daiki away from Ai, who, at the moment, was holding your sisters chain scythe and not doing a very good job at using it either. You smiled, you wanted for SO LONG to beat this guy to a pulp! You quickly placed your hand on the rocky cave wall next to you, and a suit of armor appeared onto your body. It was a full body suit that only your face was shown. You quickly ran and jumped, punching Daiki in the face when he stupidly threw your sisters scythe at you. Like it did anything, your suit was feather light and as tough as dragon skin, yet you didn't gain your true wings yet. Daiki flew to the ground, cursing you out for unlocking your powers so quickly. You smiled, then raised your hand and pointed it towards the water. The water shot up and drenched Daiki in frozen spears of water, Ice. He yelled out in agony and begged for you to stop. "Should I? Should I stop? You didn't stop when Ai asked you too! So why should I?!" you yelled and raised your other hand, forming a ball of wind and throwing it at him with the ice spears. Though sadly for you, he came back up, laughing his a** off. "You! Hahahahahaahahahaahaha! You really think you can beat me?! Hahahahahaahahahahahahaa! Do you?! Not in your life time pal!" he shouted and dropped your sister scythe, blades forming on both of his hands. You recognized them instantly for some odd reason... "Energy Blades." you said and your smile was gone now, you hadn't mastered energy yet, so far only fire, wind, water, earth, sand and ice. You would have to make due with what you had. You quickly formed a bow of wind, you were going to fire anything and everything you had at him. Starting with ice, didn't work, Daiki just flew towards you and slashed, causing you to quickly dodge to the side and run up the wall, shooting earth at him now. Some rocks had better do the dog some good.... Didn't do good, he just used his energy blades to block the rock attack and run up towards you. You shot wind at him and fire and water and sand. Then all six, didn't do anything and you were starting to get slower and slower in running up the mountain and soon you started falling down. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" you screamed, hoping that if you used wind it would block your fall, too bad you were covered in the rock and so far you were having a hard time getting it off. And by the time you got it off... you hit the ground... with an isle shaking thump...

AI'S POV
You eyes shot open, and you quickly sat up. You saw that Haru was keeping everyone busy, wait, why are you still sitting here? You got up and looked behind you where the shaking still was coming from. You eyes widened and you gasp, your heart literally stopping at what you saw, Kichirou was... on the ground... hurt! You quickly ran up to him and picked him up, holding him to you. "Kichirou! Kichirou! Kichirou are you okay?! Say something! Something! Anything! KICHIROU!" you yelled, shaking him, though his head just continued to move around with the shaking and so did the rest of his body. You stopped shaking him and got a good look at him, he had wings, the most beautiful red wings you had ever seen, signalling that his main element was fire. His mouth was open, his large canines peeking through, his nails had gotten longer and had turned black. You smiled, he had gained his dragon from finally, but what made your smile fade and your heart crack and feel like it was covered in ice was the fact that blood was slowly starting to pour from his mouth, his chest wasn't moving, hell, his arm was even broken by the looks of it. "You can't be... You just can't be... Kichirou... you cannot be-" "Dead." someone finished for you. Your head shot up, standing in front of you was Daiki, in his full dog form, his purple eyes sent chills down your spin. "He is dead. He thought he could fight me, he was wrong. Now come on Ai, it's time to go." he said with a happy smile, as if talking to a lesser dog demon. You growled, "NO! I WILL NOT GO WITH YOU DAIKI! YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!" you yelled in rage and stood up, gripping your scythe, dropping Kichirou to the ground and running for him, slashing his arm open. It was now that Daiki stopped smiling and growled at you, now fully taking in what was happening. "If you insist pet." he said as he raised his energy blades and swung them at you. You quickly dodged and kicked him in the gut, you smiled as you continued to battle him, "You sure you fought with Kichirou?" "Sure as a heart attack." "Then your gonna love this! Your missing your front tooth!" you said and flew into the air, laughing your ass off. He looked like a total idiot. Daiki growled at you again and threw one of his blades at you, "How am I to take your seriously if you have a tooth missing?" you asked him and spin around in the air in a death roll(kind like what a crocodile does) and stripped his leg of it's flesh. "God! D*mmit!" he yelled as he started limping. You could see that people in the air wasn't Daiki's strength, in fact, you smiled at the weakness you have just discovered. So you flew over his head and grabbed both of your scythes, swinging them under you by the chain and cutting him up like mad. "You should not have hurt Kichirou." you said, but it was not your voice. Daiki blinked, covered in blood, "Who... are you?" he asked as you flew down and landed in front of him, a bunch of fog surrounded you and him as you reached up and grabbed his throat. "Why, I am Kuronue." "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" was all that could be heard from the fog and at that moment, Haru died. Apparently Haru was piece of Daiki's actual shadow. Then the fog disappeared, showing you, like you normally look. Though you had one of Kuronue's smiles. But it disappeared when you forgot about the headless Daiki and remembered Kichirou. "KICHIROU!" your screamed, you voice the way it was suppose to be. The gang was by Kichirou's body, Boton was checking him out to see how he was doing. "Are you crazy?! He's dead! He's dead!" you said as your ran, only to have Kurama run up to you to stop you from going near Kichirou. "He's dead! He's dead!" "Ai! Calm down!" "NO! NOW LET ME NEAR MY BROTHER KURAMA!" you said and smacked him in the face. Kurama's face flew to the side with how much strength you had put into the hit, but he didn't let you go. "He's dead!" "He is not dead!" "Yes he is!" you said as you started hitting the fox to try to get to your brother. "AI! SHUT-UP! TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!" you heard and you finally stopped. You looked over at Kichirou, your heart had stopped, he turned over onto his side and let out a loud snore. You heart started beating again, and very quickly I might add. "Kichirou!" you yelled happily and it was then that Kurama let you go. You ran over to your brother and gently picked him up and held him to you. He just cuddled to you, slowly waking up, "Ai, I never meant what I said back in the cave. I love you, and I don't want you to ever leave me again!" he said. You just gave off one of the biggest smiles you ever gave and nodded, "Yes Kichirou." you said and stood up, only for Hiei to take the boy from you. "Thank you Hiei." you said and gave the fire apparition a kiss on the cheek. Making him blink and nod before he started taking Kichirou back to the hotel room. Everyone following, you were about to follow when you were stopped by Kurama grabbing your hand. You instantly felt bad for slapping him, "Kurama," you started as you turned to face him, "I'm sorry for slapping yo-" "Shut-up." was all he said and gave you the best kiss you had ever gotten in your life.

Do. Not. Own. Yu. Yu. Hakusho.

[Krysta]

One year later...
AI'S POV
"Hahahahahahahaha! I will get you Ai!" "No you wont!" "Hahahahaahhahaha! Yes I will!" "Hahahaha! No you wont!" you yelled over to your brother as you flipped in the air and flew under a tree branch, grabbing it and waiting. Just as Kichirou flew by, you let go of the branch and it hit him in the face, "OW! YOU! EVIL!" he said as he flew to the ground. "Hahahahaha! Yes! I am evil!" you said as you landed next to him and poked him with a stick. He growled as he shot back up and started chasing you again through the air. It had been a year since the last Dark Tournament. Which Team Urameshi won and officially shut down once and for all. It had also been a year since you killed Daiki. You were happy albeit a bit depressed after that spring. Spring had rolled into summer and you were still depressed, seeing as you had almost lost your now 12 year old brother. Who wouldn't be depressed when their only family was thought to be dead? Kichirou had told you many times that it was because of the fact that he was an elemental dragon that he did not die. Because not only is he a dragon(and dragons are hard to kill) but he could control any element, so he was literally safe from any elemental attack. But it still didn't change the fact you had almost lost him. You soon found during the summer that Yukina was Hiei's sister, but you didn't tell her, figuring that Hiei didn't tell her for a good reason. But you did let him know and he was fine with it as long as you didn't let out a word. Over time during the summer you had gotten out of your depression with Kurama, Kuronue and everyone else's help. More like Boton tried to whack some sense into you. Which you always had a counter attack for. As fall rolled through you saw the funniest thing on the planet, and found out why Kichirou wanted you to dress as Tinker Bell for Halloween. But all in all Kurama had guts, though it was embarrassing to see the guy you liked wearing tights. He stated that it was either that or a doughnut. As fall disappeared and made way for winter, you and Kurama had gotten a little closer since the kiss you two had shared on the beach after Daiki's defeat, if anything it had made you very nervous and it had pushed you away from him a bit. It's not that you were scared, it's just that you were... yeah... you had been scared. You had never gone into a relationship before, and with the kiss it felt like you were being pushed, although Kuronue was ecstatic that you two had kissed. You two didn't really share anything other then friendship after that(to Youko and Kuronue's dismay). But during Christmas you two did share another kiss, traditional, under the mistletoe. Which you still think Boton and the girls planted by the way. But it was so surprising how something as small and beautiful as mistletoe could help you figure out what you felt for Kurama. You had loved him, but you didn't tell him because in all honesty you were scared. And figured that after you had pushed him away on the beach that he no longer had feelings for you. But on the plus side during Chritsmas, Kurama ordered you and Kichirou to spend Christmas with him and his mother. Whom Kichirou took in instantly as a mother figure. As winter rolled into Spring, you started trying to bring up to courage to tell Kurama how you felt. It was humiliating to you really. You were Ai, the tough one, the one who could handle a few hits. The one who could handle a few yells. The one who could throw a few hits, literally, and come out victorious. The one who used thieving as a way of life for you and your brother when you were living with your MOMster. You were the one that no one had to worry about and didn't want anyone to worry about. Yet everyone still did to your dismay. And now you couldn't even work up the courage to tell Kurama three simple words. You felt low, you felt depressed. But you decided that you would tell Kurama when the time came and take his answer like Ai, like you use to. Not care a bit what he said if it didn't work in your favor.Being a 17 year old now, to you, was hard. But it was times like this, when you and your brother played together(more like trained now), that made you feel happy and free as a bird like you felt after you had taken Kichirou to the cave, away from your mother. In fact, you had wondered how she was doing, and found in the morning newspaper one day that she had been busted for working with some guy(her current boyfriend) to sell drugs illegally to kids Kichirou's age. But right now, flying through the sky as your training with Kichioru for Genkai... Was something you wouldn't trade even for the best chocolates in the world. "Hahahahaaha! Come on Kichioru! If you can give Daiki a punch that sent his tooth flying, I know you can get me!" "That's because he wasn't flying in the air and I didn't have to catch him with my hands!" "Awww, do I make it too hard for you?" you asked and stopped flying, deciding to stay in the air, "GOT YOU!" he shouted and reached for you, only for you to flap up and he flew right under you and landed smack, right into Genkai's wall. "YOU! EVIL!" he said as he got up from the ground, flexing his wings a bit before flapping and heading off into the air again. He started chasing you again, "Hey Ai!" said a familiar voice. You looked down and smiled, your heart pounding, "Hello Kurama!" you said and right at that moment, Kichirou landed on your back and pushed you down, making you fly into the ground. "Stop!" shouted Genkai as she walked up to the two of you, "You both did very good, but Ai, get your head out of the clouds when Kurama's around. Might get you killed one day." she stated, and what's worse, was Kurama had been standing right near you. You had landed face first from in front of him on the ground. Kichirou got off your back, "You heard Genkai didn't you?" he teased, knowing full well that Kurama was standing right there. Kurama you heard was giving off a chuckle, "Here, let me help you up." he said and you felt his hand go into yours to help you get up. Your face turned beat red and you waved his hand off, "No thanks. I LIKE sitting face-first on the ground." you mumbled into the dirt. You could feel Kurama shrug, "Whatever suits you." he said and walked off. Kichioru was snickering, "You do know that if you don't tell soon I am right?" You lifted your face off the ground and looked at him, dirt on your red face, "Shut-up Kichirou." you said and puffed out your bottom jaw, trying to look intimidating. He just laughed, "You know that looks hilarious right?" "Shut-up." you stated as you stood up. Your face was still red, but the redness was starting to get lighter and lighter, meaning that your blush was starting to go away. You knew that Kichirou knew that you had liked Kurama, and so did Keiko. They both knew it before even you knew it, and let's just say, you would often talk to Keiko about it. Although she wasn't much help, she was in a relationship with Yusuke Urameshi, she didn't know anything about how to talk with a guy about how you felt, only how to show it. And you weren't the kind of girl to show it and expect the guy to understand, you said something strait out. Like you did to your mother when she wanted a beer. You sighed once your red face was back to normal, and Kichirou ran inside to go and see Kuwabara. You could swear that Kichirou adopted Kuwabara into the family. Kichirou wanted to be like all the boys, personality wise. Kuwabara for his code of some sort and that he would never hurt a woman. Yusuke for his strength and hardheadedness when it came to battles, and Kurama? For the fact that Kichirou saw him as more of his blood brother so to speak, the boy wanted to be just like the redhead in wit and intelligence. You stood up, you were going to go and talk with Boton, maybe she would have some pointers on what to do, whereas Keiko gave you all she could and to you it was tacky and corny. Just walk up to him and tell him how you feel. Just walk up to him and give him a kiss. Write him a letter about it. You went with the letter idea, but eventually had over thirty letters to Kurama under your bed, refusing to give one of them to him. You walked through the grass and stepped onto Genkai's porch, opening the sliding door and going inside. You sighed, "Now off to find the reaper... My god, that sounded like I have a death wish." you said before shivering, not because of the death part, but because of how bubbly the girl was. You soon found her in the kitchen... with Kurama. Okay, scratch her for now. You closed the door and waited outside, leaning on the wall. Maybe Yukina? No, she was literally oblivious to Kuwabara now. Keiko you already talked to... Shizuru! Maybe she would have some pointers! Oh yeah, she's at the mall right now. Getting something for a party of some sort the boys were putting together(with Genkai's blessing). Well, you would have to wait. Wait what's this? Boton walked out of the kitchen, smiling and hugging the stuffing out of you upon seeing you. "Hey Ai. How have you been." she said, chipper as hell. You shrugged, "I need to talk with you about something." you said. She nodded and grabbed your arm, pulling you into her... PINK COVERED ROOM! Oh, how you hated the color. It gave you headaches. Unless it was on flowers, then it was okay. "Now, if it's about Kurama then I have some pointers for you." "HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW?!" you screeched. Was it so obvious that you liked Kurama that she saw it? Did Kurama see it too? Oh great. He was TOYING with you! "I know because Kichirou and Keiko told me, telling me to be on the look out for you and that you might need some advice." You sighed, relieved. "Okay, now, as you know already I like Kurama. I was wondering, how do I go about telling him?" you asked her. She smiled, "Just walk up to him and tell him." "Tried that." "Just walk up to him and give him a kiss." "Too forward." "Write him a letter." "Been there, done that, wanna see my collection under my mattress?" "Oh jeez." she said and mushroom sighed, "Okay, why don't you try a video letter?" You shrugged and raised part of you lip, you didn't like that idea, at all. You had seen kids in school doing that and then the video went to the wrong person. "No? Then that's it for me. I'm out of ideas, at least for now." she said sadly. You smiled, "Have you ever liked someone?" "Oh yes, Lord Koenma." she stated happily. You thought about it, you had meet him a few times(in teen form only) and felt that a guy still sucking on a binky was a bit odd. But you had to admit he wasn't a bad catch. You sighed, "Thanks for the advice anyway Boton." you said and waved to her as you walked out of her room, maybe one of the guys? Yusuke would laugh at you. Kuwabara was failing on getting Yukina to go out with him(Much to Hiei's happiness). Hiei you tried, he gave you the same advice as Boton and Keiko. Genkai you tried, she didn't give you anything, just said that you were weak for not telling Kurama strait out like you would normally do. Boton and Keiko were no help and Yukina, she hadn't been in a relationship and wasn't interested in anyone right now as far as you knew. You would talk to Shizuru later then. You walked outside, intent on training with your scythe more. Speak of the devil. Shizuru. You smiled and ran up to her, maybe she would have some pointers.

FEW MINUTES LATER
Why was it so hard just to get an idea on how to tell Kurama how you felt?! They were all the same.
1. Tell him how you feel
2. Kiss him
3. Write him a letter
It was annoying and infuriating. You sighed and walked over to the training fields, maybe you could tell him while he was asleep. No, he would be asleep and wouldn't hear what you had to say. Maybe you could battle him and tell him while battling. No, that wouldn't work, he never wants to battle you unless Genkai tells him to for training. You sighed and threw your scythe at the target tree, getting the dead center. Maybe you weren't cut out to tell him, maybe you were suppose to be an Echo. Oh hell no were you an echo. You were Ai, and you refused to be an echo. It wasn't your style for one thing. "Gah! Why is it so hard?!" you screamed and threw your scythe at the tree, cutting it down.

KURAMA'S POV
You smiled when you stepped up the stairs and saw Ai in the air, over the year she had gotten more beautiful. She had filled out around her hips and her bust, her legs had gotten more shapely, and she had gotten stronger. Her hair had grown a bit more too. You blushed, you shouldn't be thinking about Ai that way. As far as you knew, she wanted to be just friends. She made that clear on the beach. But your feelings have only gotten stronger for her. Hell Youko was even bugging you to just walk up and kiss her. But you couldn't. That would be too strait forward and Ai just wanted to be friends, though she had been acting strange lately. You decided that you would talk to her about it, "Hey Ai!" you yelled out, waving to her. Your heart beat faster when she waved, "Hello Kurama!" she yelled and at that moment she was tackled to the ground, right in front of you, by her brother. You were about to help her up when Genkai stopped you, "Stop!" she shouted as she ran to you, Ai and kichirou, whom was sitting on Ai's back right now. "You both did very good, but Ai, get your head out of the clouds when Kurama's around. Might get you killed one day." she stated and left, leaving you puzzled. *Oh, so Ai likes me more then I thought*
^GO YOU!^ shouted Youko. You just ignored him for now, you wanted to know exactly how much she liked you. "You heard Genkai didn't you?" you heard Kichirou tease Ai, Ai just sat there, face first in the ground. You let out a chuckle. She had been very stubborn lately. "Here, let me help you." you said and grabbed her hand, having it instantly smacked away, "No thanks, I LIKE sitting face-first in the ground." you shrugged, maybe you would talk with her later. "Whatever suits you." you said and walked to Genkai's temple, walking inside and immediately going into the kitchen. It was lunch time after all. And Yusuke and Kuwabara have become bottomless pits. Oh wait, they were always bottomless pits. Soon enough, Boton walked into the kitchen with you. She knew that you liked Ai and gave you some tips on how to tell that to a friend, but you were going to ask again. "Hey Boton, how should I tell Ai that I like her?" "Did you try telling her?" "Yes." "Did you try just kissing her." "Too strait forward." "Did you write her a letter?" "Can't think of the right words, wanna see the trashcan in my room?" "Oh jeez." she said and literally slapped her head onto the table, "Now don't do that, you will hurt yourself." you stated and she lifted her head back up. Just then the door to the kitchen opened, and there stood Ai looking depressed, though you were looking at her from the corner of your eye, so you didn't look like you were waiting for her to do or say anything. She just closed the door and walked away. You sighed, why on earth was it so hard? You asked everybody and they gave you the same advice. "I'm gonna go and talk with Ai." stated Boton as she got up from her chair, you nodded and watched as she walked out of the room.

FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER
You watched as Ai was training, you would often just watch her. You didn't forget that she was Kuronue, your friend, but that was in the past and now Ai, was Ai. And she was the woman you loved, a lot. Kichirou sat down next to you, "You know, if you don't tell her soon I will." he stated as he looked over at you. His hair had grown much over the year, so now his black hair was to his shoulders and his bangs were slowly starting to cover his red eyes. It was funny, he looked a lot like Hiei the first day you saw him. "And what makes you think I will let you tell her." "Your desperate." You made a fake shocked face. He gave you a glare, "I'm not a kid anymore." "Oh I think not, your 12." He growled, you smiled. "But it's true, you have no clue what to do. And one day if you don't tell her, I will." you sighed, knowing he was right. When he makes a promise he makes a promise. "Gah! Why is it so hard?!" Your head shot towards Ai as she cut the tree in half. "What?" "She's trying to do a technique that Genkai showed her." Kichirou stated. But you couldn't help but think that maybe that wasn't what she was mad about.

? POV
You smiled, it looked as if the koumori wasn't going to tell the kitsune how she felt. This could be a big opportunity for you. A big one indeed. For years you have tried to get a hold of that fox. But now, it looked as if they were both fighting with themselves. It made you angry to know that he too held feelings for the bat just like she did him. But it would change soon. You got up from your throne of ice, walking across the great icy hall and to the giant window in your throne room, watching all the ice demons fighting and conversing with each other. You smiled, and turned from the window, looking at the floor to see your reflection. Your pale skin was white as snow, your lavender eyes shining like amethysts, your white hair rivaling and beating the ice around you in pure white splendor. You smiled, most would think you an Ice Maiden, but you were far from it. You liked blood. You chuckled at your reflection and walked back towards your throne. Your long blue ice covered dress trailing behind you, your feet bare. Your head was decorated with an amethyst sitting lightly on a deidem. Your nimble figures gently traced the ice spikes of your throne, a laugh escaping your throat. "Your highness?" asked one of the ice demons you saved and cared for in your castle, but only the ones you saw fit. You turned to the girl, she had blue hair, pale blue eyes and was a little on the short side, she was only 11 years old after all. And she was your favorite. "Yes, Ula." you said as you walked over to the girl. Her being you favorite, you treated her as a daughter, so she too wore a dress exactly like yours, but she didn't wear a crown on her head, she wore a small piece of mistletoe. "When will I get to have someone? Like you?" You smiled and hugged her, lightly petting her head. "When you get older." you said, your thick accent ringing true to your European heritage. Ula smiled, you had saved her when you were at the bottom of the mountain, conversing with mortals without their knowledge. You found that she too could control ice, and had a full human form, just like you did. But something you both had that mortals didn't was a pair of elven ears. "I hope that day will come soon." she said happily, you smiled brightly to her, "Don't worry. It will come. I am the Ice Queen. I know everything." you said and kissed her forehead, leaving an ice kiss behind.

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, it is the soul property of Yoshihiro Togashi.

AI'S POV
You sat in a tree with your eyes closed, talking with your old-self.
^What do you MEAN you WONT go and TALK to HIM?!^
*I'm sorry, I just don't feel like it's time right now.*
^I know when it's time and trust me, I know you. I am you. And when you want to tell him when the 'time is right,' Kurama's gonna be taken by someone else, or he will have feelings for someone else. Now go and tell him!^
*Nope.*
^Tell him Ai.^
*Nope.*
^Please?^
*Not now.*
^Darn it!^
*Ha!*
^You have to tell him soon.^
*Why?*
^Weren't you listening?!^
*Nope.*
^ ^
*Okay, why are you crying?!*
^HA! WAS BEING EVIL NOW GO AND TELL KURAMA HOW YOU FEEL!^
*No.*
^So stubborn! Now I know how Kurama felt when I was being stubborn to him!^
*Yeah, ain't it great? *
^ ^
You sighed as you tuned him out. Kuronue was right, if you didn't tell Kurama soon, then he would most likely like someone else by the time you do work up the courage to tell him. You just wished that it were that simple, that you would just walk right up to him, beat any in your path, and just tell him. Hey now there was an idea, oh wait. It was what Keiko and the others told you to do, just walk up to him and tell him. You took in a deep breath, and then let it out. That's what you were gonna do, you were gonna just walk up to Kurama, today, and tell him how you felt. You took in another deep breath, *Hey, what am I getting so worked up about? It's just Kurama. Nice, caring, sweet... hott... Kurama. Okay get that out of my head, it's making me nervous.* you thought and let out the breath you had been holding and stood up on your branch, stepping right off and using your wings to just land on the ground like you had been walking. You took in more deep breathes, printing the fact into your head that you needed to remember to breathe when you walk up to him and tell him. You had tried time and time before, you had always forgot how to breathe when you would attempt to talk to him about how you felt. You took in another deep breath.
You stepped on the grassy ground.
You let it out.
You stepped over a log.
You took in a deep breath.
You stepped in something wet.
"Okay, what did I step in that broke my concentration!" you yelled and looked down, "Oh, just a puddle... Just a puddle?!" you asked out loud and right at that moment... "Oh great, rain." you said and kicked a pebble as you continued on your way back to Genkai's Temple, using your wings to shield your head.

FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER
You saw the temple in plain view, though you didn't leave the forest. You just stood there, in the rain, trying to get back the courage you had just before you saw the temple.
^Just go. No turning back.^
*WILL YOU SHUT-UP?!*
^Jeez, so moody, are you on your period.^
*As a matter of fact I am!*
^That explains everything then.^
*I said shut-up.*
^Testy, testy.^
* *
^I will be shutting up now.^
*Thank you.* you said to the annoying bat and started walking towards the temple. You sighed as you stepped onto the porch, flapping your wings to get the water off of them. Just as soon as you opened the door...
"SURPRISE!"
You punched Yusuke right in the face in fright. You blinked, "My god Yusuke you scared the crap out of me!" you said, your hand on your now rapidly beating heart, everyone around laughing, even Keiko was laughing and Yusuke just got punched. You looked around at all the joy and happiness, "What's all this for?" you asked curiously. Kichirou smiled, "It's the one year anniversary since we all first met. Yusuke thought of it." he said and grabbed your hand pulling you deeper into the room. Right now, the only person you wanted to see was Kurama. But apparently that would have to wait. But you wondered, *Would I be able to wait?*

FEW HOURS LATER
You watched as the party was being cleaned up. Well, you and Kurama were cleaning it up, all the others were sleeping on the couch and floor. Your stomach turned, you were alone with Kurama, almost. *Now, now would be a good time.* "Hey Kurama?" "Yeah?" "Do you like anyone?" Crash "Sorry, klutzy me." Kurama said as he cleaned a broken cup. You sighed, this was getting you nowhere. "Kurama I really need to know if you do-" you walked into the kitchen to come face-to-face with Kurama's butt while he cleaned up the cup. You just ignored it and waited, leaning on the side of the door frame. Just as soon as he finished he stood up and turned to look at you. You gave him a smile, "How long have you been standing there." "Long enough to know all your training pays off." You watched as he blushed. "Okay Kurama. I want to know, do you like anyone?" "Aren't you suppose to be cleaning the living room?" "Already done." he checked just to be sure, and sure enough, the living room was clean. Just like you said. You sighed, "Kurama, if you like someone and don't want to tell me then it's okay. But I have something I want to tell you anyway. And you will be hearing it no matter what happens." you stated dryly, trying to make it sound as if you weren't interested in what you were going to say. "Kurama. I-" just then the gang woke up and Yusuke and Kuwabara ran into the kitchen to raid the fridge, interrupting you to do so. You growled and took a deep breath, "I-" just then everyone walked in. Your rubbed your temple, you wanted to tell Kurama without anyone there... "Aww screw it. Kurama, I love you." Everyone stopped, looking at you both as if you two were circus clowns and one of you were going to throw a pie in the others face. Kurama didn't say anything, just looked at you. You sighed, "I love you Kurama. I found out on Christmas, when we kissed under the mistletoe. I didn't tell you till now because I was afraid of being hurt. That and I had no courage to tell you. I would always loose it when I would walk up to you. I tried to be cool and talk to you like I normally would, but it didn't work, it never worked. And even now I am afraid of your answer." he still didn't say anything. You sighed and punched his arm, "You know what, forget it. I don't want to know what you feel about it. I'm out." you said and walked out of the kitchen, grabbing a coat and putting it on before walking out of Genkai's temple and towards town.

KURAMA'S POV
You sat in the living room, looking out the window. It was raining and Ai hadn't come back yet. "Jeez, when is she gonna get here?!" complained Yusuke. You chuckled, "She's making us wait longer then we have too!" "Funny seeing as how this was your idea." Hiei told the detective. You chuckled again before going back to being worried over Ai.
^Still hasn't come back yet Kurama?^
*Nope.*
^I have a question, about when you met her today.^
*Shoot.*
^Was your hair fixed like a cockatoo? ;D ^
*Oh dear Inari not again.*
^I am being serious Kurama, maybe that's why she didn't want to talk to you in the first place.^
*Then tell me, if my hair was fixed like a cockatoo's, then how would she know just having her face in the dirt?*
^Maybe she saw it when she was in the air.^
*Don't think so, she was too high up.*
^Excuses, excuses, excuses for your unmanageable hair. Hahaha.^
*Youko, do I LOOK like I am in the mood to joke?! *
^..... Yes. ;D ^
*Your unbelievable and...* "Here comes Ai!" you whispered as you hide behind the couch, the others turning off the light and hiding the same as you. Just as soon as she entered the room...
"SURPRISE!" everyone yelled and you couldn't help but laugh when you saw Ai punch Yusuke in the face in fright. "My god Yusuke you scared the crap out of me!" she screamed and held her chest, you laughed as you walked over to stand next to her. Just for a few moments without her knowing. "What's all this for?" "It's for the one year anniversary of when we all first met. Yusuke thought of it." stated Kichirou with pride before grabbing his sisters hand and pulling her into the room and towards the cake. You followed close behind, but not too close. Right now, you were waiting till the time came and you were alone with her to tell her how you felt.

FEW HOURS LATER
You stood at the sink, washing the dishes while Ai cleaned the living room. You didn't mind sharing this time with her, even if it was just cleaning. At least everyone was asleep and no one would be there to bother you. "Hey Kurama?" "Yeah?" you asked her, knowing full well that she was going to ask a question, that was how she always asked you. "Do you like anyone?" Crash Scratch that, a cup just interrupted you. "Sorry, klutzy me." you said as you bent down to clean it up. How could you drop a cup and then NOT answer her question? It was very unlike you. But you couldn't deny that you were nervous when she asked that. You were about to blurt out that you liked her. "Kurama, I really need to know if you do-" she stopped mid sentence. You wondered why but continued to clean the cup off of the floor, *Oh boy is Keiko gonna kill me.* you thought, Keiko LOVED the cups and dinner wear in the kitchen. And now you just broke one, but that's getting off topic of what's going on right now. You got up and threw the cup away, turning to find that Ai was leaning against the door frame. *Was she watching me this whole time?* you thought to yourself and figured that she didn't, but my as well ask anyway. "How long have you been standing there?" "Long enough to know your training pays off." she stated. You blushed, she had been watching your BUTT. She snapped you out of your thoughts, "Okay Kurama, I want to know, do you like anyone?" "Aren't you suppose to be cleaning the living room?"
^Coward!^ shouted Youko.
"Already done." she stated, you didn't believe it so you looked, no one can finish cleaning a room that fas-Hey, yeah it was clean. you shook you head and blinked. With how the living room was before, you were surprised you could even see the floor right now. Ai snapped you out of your thoughts once again, "Kurama, if you like someone, and don't want to tell me it's okay. But I have something I want to tell you anyway, and you will be hearing it no matter what happens." she said, it sounded as if she were forcing herself to talk to you right now. You wondered why... "Kurama. I-" she started, only for Yusuke and Kuwabara to come right into the kitchen, running for the fridge. Bottomless pits... You looked at her again when she started yet again, only to be interrupted by everyone coming into the kitchen. Finally, what reached your ears shocked you, "Aww screw it. Kurama, I love you." you just looked at her like an idiot and froze. She... loved you? She sighed and continued"I love you Kurama. I found out on Christmas, when we kissed under the mistletoe. I didn't tell you till now because I was afraid of being hurt. That and I had no courage to tell you. I would always loose it when I would walk up to you. I tried to be cool and talk to you like I normally would, but it didn't work, it never worked. And even now I am afraid of your answer." She loved you? She punched your arm lightly, "You know what, forget it. I don't want to know what you feel about it. I'm out." she said as she grabbed a coat and walked out the door. She loved you?
^Hello^
*........*
^You there?^
*........*
^Is there an actual mind in here?^
*.... Ai... Loves me! She loves me!* you yelled in your head and almost faceplanted to the floor, if it wasn't for Yusuke catching you. "Well don't you feel better about yourself Kurama? Not saying anything and just letting her leave like that?" asked Boton angrily. You finally comprehended what you had heard and pushed Yusuke away. "AI!" you yelled, running out the door.

ICE QUEENS POV
You stomped your feet on the ground as the ice water in your mirror changed. The two finally made it to telling each other how they felt. This was bad, very bad. You wanted that fox for yourself. He was your current entertainment, and you never like it when you don't get what you want. "Basil!" you screamed, calling one of your most loved guards. "Yes your highness?" he asked as he walked up to you, "Get a cloud ready. I will be going to Tokyo Japan." "May I ask why Miss?" "No you cannot! Now go before I lop off your HEAD!" "Yes ma'am." he stated as he bowed. "That little harlot. She will not take what is mine! Not if I can help it!" you said and grabbed your cloak, getting ready to 'visit' the two that was currently on your mind. Ai and Kurama.

As usual at the end of a Chapter: I Do Not Own Yu Yu Hakusho. It Is The Soul Property Of Yoshihiro Togashi!

[Krysta]

AI'S POV
You walked through the streets, wondering exactly what Kurama felt. Honestly you didn't want to know. Besides, he probably had someone else in his head anyway.
^Come on and tell me what happened already?!^ Kuronue asked you for the umpteenth time.
*Okay, fine, I told him, he didn't say anything back.*
^Doesn't mean that he's not accepting your feelings you know.^
*Yes it does. Instant silence, he was THINKING about what he was going to SAY. And he waited to long too.*
^How long did you wait?^
*A minute. Strait.*
^He could have been waiting till the others crowded out of the room.^
*How'd you know that we weren't alone?*
^I am you remember, the most important thing to you at the moment is what I will know, and you know what you were thinking through feeling?^
You rolled your eyes, *What?*
^You wanted to cut everyone ears off.^
You chuckled, that was true, you didn't want anyone around and you didn't want anyone to hear. You raised your head and looked at all the people around you, happy as hell that you had been able to wrap your wings around you, under your arms and put the coat on so you looked like you did before you grew them. You wondered around too the part of town that wasn't filled with much people. Just the occasional pervert walking around, nothing you couldn't handle. Although... you couldn't shake the feeling that you were being watched. You turned and looked behind you, fist raised. "Huh? Just a... white rabbit? Now that's unusual." you said as you blinked and walked towards the little, fat, white rabbit. It slowly walked up to your feet, it's nose twitching every now and then. It was funny... didn't you hear a story in preschool about a white rabbit? Oh yes, Alice in Wonderland. You rolled your eyes, "Strange that a white rabbit would pop out of nowhere." you said and bent down to look at it better, all the while your guard was up. It didn't look wild at all. Actually, it looked as if it was well fed and well groomed. It started hopping towards you, you quickly stood up and backed up. "I know your cute. But a white rabbit that pops up in the middle of the street in the almost deserted part of town is a big hint that somethings going on. No! Get away!" you said as you backed up some more, all it did was match your steps. "Okay, this is starting to freak me out." you said as you had stepped to the side, so did the rabbit. You blinked, you stood up strait, the rabbit stood up on it's hind paws. You raised your left hand in the air, it raised it's right paw in the air, like a mirror. You turned around, all the while keeping you eyes glued to the rabbit, it did the exact same to you. You got down onto your knees, it got down on it's feet. You shot up and hopped in one spot a few times. So did the rabbit. "Okay, this is very freaky. Just... stay away from me you rabbit." you said and turned around, walking back towards the busy part of town. You stopped midstep when the rabbit was right in front of you. You blinked, "How'd you do that?" you asked and turned around to go the other way, again, you saw the rabbit. "I don't have time for games! Whoever is here better come out or I will rip the rabbit to shreds!" you yelled out loud, not only were you not in a good mood with Kurama not answering you, but this rabbit was starting to piss you off. "Don't hurt Becky!" shouted a a voice and you turned to see a girl with blue hair, blue eyes, wearing a blue dress with what looked like crystals. "Come here Becky." she said, her accent was odd to you, was it Irish? You weren't sure. You watched as the rabbit literally flew past you and to the girl, jumping into the little girls arms. "Okay, who are you and what do you want?" you asked her, sighing in frustration. She smiled, "I don't want. My mommy wants." "What does she want?" "Your friend." "Which friend?" "The cute one." You instantly thought of Kurama, but she looked to be about 11 years old, so anyone would be cute to her. "Who are you talking about?" "The redhead silly." she said and a cold wind flew past, making you hold yourself. You gasped, "Snow?" The snow in the wind flew around the girl and she just... disappeared. You blinked, "Kurama." you said and ripped your coat, your wings coming out and flying towards the temple.

KURAMA'S POV
You ran through the town, trying to find Ai's spiritual energy. But, she must have found a way to suppress it so you wouldn't be able to find her. You pushed past people, saying 'sorry' and 'excuse me' when you would run into or bump into someone. But it still got you weird looks, and a few 'watch where your going!' from random people. You stopped near a dumpster in an alley and leaned against the building wall, panting, before you shot out running again. *How could I have been so stupid as to not say SOMETHING?!* you scolded yourself. For the past fifteen minutes, you had been beating yourself up for just freezing and looking at her. You had no clue how, but you ended up finding yourself at the park. Typical. You knew for a fact that she wouldn't be in the park, that was something runaways did. And Ai was probably going to think. But may as well check anyway. You ran through the park, looking around at anyone and everyone who had black hair in a ponytail that happened to really long. Didn't find anyone who fit Ai's description. Just as you looked to the right, you stopped. There she was! Standing by the fountain. You smiled and walked up to her, grabbing her shoulder, "Ai, I'm sorry for what happened back there. I just couldn't believe it." you said and turned her around, only for your emerald orbs to connect with lavender ones. You gasped and let her go, "Sorry, I thought you were-" "I know who you thought I was, and Kurama. I can't be anything but myself." she said as she raised her hand to touch your face. Okay, this woman was being a bit weird. You backed up, away from her. "Sorry, but you are not who I am looking for." She just smiled, "Yes I am." "No, your not. Sorry for the misunderstanding." you said and turned to walk away, only to find your right foot wasn't going anywhere. And not only that, it felt like it was freezing. You looked down to see it was... ice? You looked up and found that the Ai-looking woman was standing right in front of you, a smile on her lips that Ai would never have. It had a... magical air about it. Or would evilly playful be the better words? Yeah, evilly playful. "Just where do you think your going Kurama?" she asked as she stepped towards you. You tried to move your foot, but it didn't go anywhere, "Nowhere." you answered. She smiled brightly, "Good." she said as her hand went up to caress your face again, her head tilted to the side. You leaned back. This continued till you couldn't lean back anymore, if you did you would have fell on your butt. Just as her hand touched your cheek, goosebumps formed. Her hands were like ice. "You are mine Kurama, and no one else's." she said as she started leaning towards you. That's when you leaned back and fell onto your butt, making the girl blink and laugh out loud. "You always were fun to watch." she said as she just stood there and laughed at you. *I was always fun to watch?* "You make it sound as if you have been watching me." she abruptly stopped laughing, her face strait. It was like someone pushed the fast forward button of her facial expressions as she changed from happy to serious. "I know all... Kurama. And I know that you will be mine." she said and bent down, grabbing the side of your shirt and lifting you up onto your feet as if you were the lightest of feathers. You quickly pulled out a rose and tried to form it into the rose whip, only for nothing to happen. The girl smiled, "Awww, is that for me?" she said, her voice completely changing from sounding like Ai to a thick accent. You believed it was European, or somewhere around there. "What have you done with my spiritual energy?" you asked her. She took the rose from you, even from your iron like grip and smiled, "The ice suppresses your energy, you cannot use it against me." she said with a skip in her tone. Your eyes widened and you smiled, you still had fists after all. You quickly punched her in the face, finding instantly that it was like hitting a wall. But you still knocked her down onto her ass. She growled as she shot up, "I will teach you to not hit me again!" she said and gripped your shirt, you raised your hand again, only for it to get stuck and yet again, freezing. You looked at your arm to see it was covered in ice, and you couldn't move it at all. She smiled and laughed, "What do you say?" "I SAY GET AWAY FROM HIM!" you heard and a blade wrapped around the womans neck and was pulled, taking the woman's head off. As the woman fell, you saw Ai, looking pretty pissed. Now you were frozen again and you were currently beating yourself up till you finally found your words, "Ai! I have been looking everywhere for you!"

AI'S POV
You ripped the womans head off, officially pissed. And why? That damn white rabbit was popping up everywhere till you finally decided to follow it. And saw this woman being a bitch to Kurama. Well, you wouldn't let the not-Ai hit your Kurama, because that's what it looked like to you. You walked up to him, being followed by the annoying white rabbit. "You have been looking for me? More like bullied by a fake ass me." you said as you hit him hard in the chest. "Ow! What was that for?!" "For being an idiot! Why didn't you turn her into a flower bush?!" "I don't know about you, but I can't even summon my rose whip without my spiritual energy." "You could have pushed her dead in the face." "Did that, she was as tough as a wall." "No excuses! Just because she looked like me you didn't want to hit her. Am I right?" He didn't say anything, just looked behind you with a shocked face. "What?!" you asked and turned around, seeing the woman you just beheaded standing and putting her head back on. "Ahh, the advantages of being made of snow." she said. You looked at the ground, finding that the blood that had been spilt, was actually snow. And it was slipping back to her. You froze as she placed her head back on and a click was heard. The smile you had seen on her was now gone and she didn't look like you anymore, she had white hair, lavender eyes, was taller then you and Kurama by a foot, and she was wearing the same dress as the girl you saw. You quickly got out of your frozen state and raised your scythe, "Don't you just hate it, when you want something and some harlot is standing in the way?" she asked calmly, the ground around her turning to ice before the entire part of the park was covered in a thick ice circle, fifty feet wide. You growled at her, "And don't you just hate it when some idiotic ice demon tries to harm someone close to you?" you asked her back. Her lavender eyes started glowing, glowing so much that if she would move a trail would be left behind. "I am not an ice demon! You harlot! You bitch! Give me my man!" she said. You chuckled a bit, "he's not yours." "GIVE ME MY MAN BITCH!" "COME AND GET HIM YOURSELF!" you screamed at her. She ran at you, slapping you hard in the face and making you fly to the side, "Damn, Kurama was right. Her hands like a brick wall." you said and shot up, running for her as she was dragging Kurama,(whom you noticed his arms and legs were covered in ice) to some sort of cloud. "Oh no you don't!" you said and managed to get Kurama away from her before she got onto her cloud. "Give him to me!" she said as she ran to you and tried to hit you again, you ducked and slashed her arm in half. Her arm turning to snow before it went back onto her body, *Okay, maybe she really isn't an ice demon!* you thought and stood protectively in front of Kurama. The woman growled again and started stomping her feet to the ground. You raised an eyebrow. "Your a joke. How can you expect to get a man if your stomping on the ground." you asked with a chuckle in your voice. You wondered why Kurama was so quiet and looked behind you, gasping when you found he was covered in a thick sheet of ice. "Ku... rama?" you asked and quickly started trying to get him out of the ice. "Don't worry Kurama! I will get you out of there!" you said and just as soon as you raised your blade to try to cut the ice, a hand gripped the back of your ponytail and pulled harshy, "GIVE ME MY MAN! OR DOES YOUR FREAKISHLY LARGE EARS NOT HEAR ME CORRECTLY?!" the ice woman screamed behind you and pulled you even harder and threw you to the side. You haven't been yelled at like that since... Okay, now fear was starting to course through you. And you hated it. You got up and looked in the air, seeing the girl on the cloud with Kurama, flying away. Fear was instantly replaced with anger as you shot up off the ground and flew right in front of her, raising your blade. "YOU SOUND A LOT LIKE MY MOTHER! AND I HATE IT!" you said and slashed towards her. That didn't do any good, the cloud just spilt in two before connecting again and you flew towards the ground with the force you had put into that almost hit. You flapped your wings and stopped falling to the ground, looking behind you to see... nothing. And all that was left behind, was laughter.

Sorry if I made Kurama seem a bit weak in this one, but this is how the plot is. Now, I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, it is the soul property of Yoshihiro Togashi.

ICE QUEENS POV
You laughed. Laughed as hard as your lungs would allow. "That girl may be a little harlot but she's fun to throw!" you screamed into the air, the clouds under your transportation cloud because of how high you were flying. Your smile got bigger as you turned to look at the frozen Kurama before it disappeared. "You love her? Don't you? I know you do. Good thing I took away your voice too with an ice mask. Now just think. What about me? Why don't you like me?" you asked as you looked back out in front of you. "I am not a plague, yet everyone says I am. I don't care about them, but I care about you." you continued and looked back at him, touching his cheek with the back of your hand. You knew one thing for sure, if he had told that bitch that he loved her, you would have been in a bigger battle then you were in. "You know, my mother never cared for me. She left when I was five, and my father beat me. And when I turned of 18 years of age, he cursed me. Saying that I was an 'Ice Queen' and that I never thought of others. I do, I think of you..." you said as you licked your lips, looking out in front of you again. A smile graced your lips, the sea was in plain view, all you had to do was cross it and go back to Brocken, the highest peek of Harz Mountains in northern Germany, where your Ice Fortress waited for you. You pointed to the sea and jumped up and down on your spot on the cloud, "Look! The sea! All we have to do is cross it and we will be home!" you exclaimed as you looked over at him, "We will be home and all will be well." you stated as you looked in front of you, screaming and quickly separating the cloud. "How the hell did you find me you little slut?!" you screamed as you formed a snowball and threw it at the bat-bitch. All she did was dodge and smile a smart-ass smile that incredibly pissed you off. "I followed Kurama's spiritual energy. You may have blocked it but you couldn't hide it." she said as she flew towards you. "NO YOU DON'T YOU EXAMPLE OF A WHORE!" you screamed and quickly formed a cloud that fired ice spears. Once the cloud disappeared, she was nowhere in sight. "Huh, maybe she finally figured out she can't beat me." you stated and started flying towards the sea again, only to see something out of the corner of your eye. You turned your head and yelled out in rage as you saw the girl behind you before she tackled you. Knocking you off the cloud and making the cloud disappear. She punched you in the face before going for the frozen Kurama. You quickly summoned two clouds, one for you, and one for your Kurama. "I should have just killed you!" you yelled as you did something you should have done in the first place. You froze the bat in a thick block of ice.

AI'S POV
You shot through the sky as fast as your wings could carry you. Your left wing hurting badly due to the fact you had sprained it when you had battled Kurama a year back. Your eyes scanned around, even if you couldn't see anything, you could sense Kurama's spiritual energy and just followed that. You looked up when you heard laughter over you and saw that Ice Queen on her cloud. You gripped your scythe, quickly shooting upwards and attacking her from the front. "Hello." you said with a smile as you threw both scythes at her. "How the hell did you find me you little slut?!" she screamed as she spilt the cloud in half to avoid getting hit before throwing a snowball at you.
*Is she serious?*
^What? Who?^
*Some damn Ice Queen bitch is trying to kidnap Kurama and she just threw a snowball at me!*
^Huh... maybe she wants a snowball fight?^
*Are you serious? She's looking at me with a killers intent and she THREW A SNOWBALL!*
^Your right, she's insane.^
You just smiled at her and almost laughed when you could literally see her stomping again. "I followed Kurama's spiritual energy. You may have blocked it but you couldn't hide it." you said and flapped your wings, flying towards her with your scythe ready. "NO YOU DON'T YOU EXAMPLE OF A WHORE!" she said and created a cloud that shot ice spears at you. "GAH!" you yelled and scrambled to get out of the way till the ice spears melted five feet away from you. You blinked, but quickly took that as your chance and flew under her cloud and up behind her. You smiled as you quickly reached out your hands, intent on grabbing Kurama. But sadly, she saw you and you tried a different plan... You attacked her instead, knocking her off of her cloud. She felt like ice as she tried to hit you, you just punched her in the face before letting go of her and flying towards Kurama. *Kurama was right, her face is like hitting a brick wall. Makes me wonder if she is actually made of ice and not snow.* you thought and flew past Kurama as a cloud had caught him before you could. "I should have just killed you!" she shrieked as you reached for Kurama again, your hands almost grabbing him before you were encased in a block of ice, now falling through the sky. *DAMMIT! ALL I NEEDED WAS A FEW MORE INCHES!* you thought and tried to move. But the ice kept you from doing so, numbing you in the process. Now you knew how Kurama felt encased in a thick outline of ice. Your eyes shifted upwards to see that the Ice Queen was already a small speck in the sky. You felt your eyes tear up as the ground started coming into view.
*Great! I'm gonna die!*
^Don't you dare!^
*Why not?*
^My half will be in prison if you do and Kurama will be stuck with that ice bitch!^
*Well, I am frozen solid so... Good luck in prison.*
^NOOOO!^
Just as soon as you passed the top floor of one of the unoccupied buildings, you stopped falling. More like slowed to a stop. "Damn your heavy Ai! You need to stop eating all that chocolate!" you heard Kichirou say as he held your frozen form, flying back towards Genkai's Temple. *If I wasn't frozen I would whack you.*

KICHIROU'S POV
You had been searching for the two for five hours now and couldn't find either Kurama or Ai, and it was already five in the morning. You blinked your eyes, trying to keep from falling asleep while flying through the air. After the two hadn't shown up, after midnight, you issued a search party. Kuwabara would take the east of Tokyo, Yusuke the north, Hiei the south, and you everywhere else while the girls stayed home in case one or both came back. "GAH!" you heard from above and quickly shot up, finding that Ai was about to be attacked by a bunch of ice spears. You quickly raised your hand and melted them before heading towards the woman on the cloud. NO ONE attacks your sister and gets away with it! Just then you were hit in the face by a cloud. You stopped and flapped, staying a good deal under the fight Ai was having with some woman with white hair. "Don't attack my mother please." said a cute voice, making you look behind you to see a girl about your age, wearing the same thing that the woman was wearing. "Who are you?" you asked her. She just chuckled and held a white rabbit in her arms, petting it, sitting on a cloud. A pink cloud. "My name is Ula. And let my mother have what she wants, she's not a nice person when she doesn't get what she wants." "And what does she want?" "Fun!" You blinked, was this girl serious? "Whelp, gotta go. Gotta go. Gotta go home!" she yelled happily and the cloud shot off. She was gone before you could even blink. Just then something passed you, falling incredibly fast. "AI!" you screamed and nose dived down to get her. You flew down as fast as you could, allowing yourself to fall and flapping your wings towards the ground. *I cannot let her die! I will NOT let her die!* you thought and finally reached out and grabbed her, but she slipped being a large block of ice. Your fear turned to anger as you summoned vines from your fingers and grabbed the block of ice, soon going under Ai so you could carry her to the Temple. "Damn your heavy Ai! You gotta stop eating all that chocolate!" you said, instantly taking note that the ice made her heavy as hell. You looked up, and couldn't see the woman on the cloud. "Just what did she want?" you asked yourself as you carried your sister back to the Temple.

THREE DAYS LATER

KURAMA'S POV
You were still encased in the damn block of ice. Not only did it suppress your spiritual energy, but you were so cold your lips were blue and you were paler then a ghost. But to your happiness, the woman who kidnapped you allowed you to have your head unfrozen, so not only could you breathe normally and eat, but talk as well. She wanted you to tell her stories from when you were Youko and in GREAT detail too. And let's just say this, Youko wasn't a happy kitsune. But when she had first brought you here, you and he had thought of a plan. Tell her you had to go to the bathroom and make a run for it. Didn't work though, she froze your arms and one leg, then had ten guards walk with you so you could relieve yourself. Let's just say awkward. You had just finished telling her about one of your old life's heist when she stood up and danced around, "You were just so fun weren't you?" she asked as you danced around you, you yet again trapped in ice. You didn't say anything, just glared at her. After careful observation, you found out a lot about her.
1. She cared only for herself.
2. She was very childish.
3. She loved getting what she wanted.
4. She loved death, you saw her kill many in the three days you had been with her. She even had an audience.
5. She had incredible blood lust. You had watched with wide eyes as she ate a raw European boar, half alive and drank wine with it. You may be a demon but it still bothered you to see that.
And 6. You found out the source of her power and immortality, you knew it was in a special room, but you had no clue what it was.
"Well now. Time for bed." she said with a smile as a few guards came into the room and picked you up, taking you out of the room. You had found out one other thing about her in the three days you have been with her. She was a collector. You were taken through the halls and to a large ice door where the guards pulled you in and set you down, in the middle of the room before leaving. What was in the room, is what she collected. They were men, human and demon and somewhere in between, all with red hair, and green eyes. You had thought about letting Youko out, he would be better in trying to escape then you would, and she might even loose her interest. But the ice around you even suppressed Youko from coming out. You would just have to wait for the right moment, or for Ai to find you.

AI'S POV
After three long days of thawing in Koenma's office, the first thing that came out of your mouth as soon as your head was thawed was this: "YOUR A TODDLER!" Koenma wasn't able to keep up his teen form for three days. Then the first thing you did after your arms were frozen was whack Kichirou in the head, telling him that you heard him call you fat. The first thing you did once you legs were unfrozen was drag Kuwabara, Yusuke, Yukina, Keiko, Boton, Kichirou, and Shizuru through the halls, trying to get out of Koenma's office so you could go after Kurama. Let's just say that after Koenma grabbed you, you stayed in one place, not being able to drag them anymore. That and your wings were still frozen. Your wings finally unfroze and Koenma found out from the ice queens pattern, and from the cloud trail she left behind, that she had taken Kurama to Europe, but where exactly is what you needed to find out. "Tell me where she took him NOW!" you yelled as you held Koenma by the front of his shirt, shaking the heck out of him. Boton attacked you, more like tried to hit your head. You let go of Koenma and dodged, grabbed her hand and throwing her in front of you before pulling her back towards you. Her back to your chest and your hand holding her wrist painfully behind her back. "Ai, calm down!" shouted Keiko. You huffed and let go of Boton, your eye twitching as you watched Koenma. About fifteen minutes of Koenma doing some paper work(And you staring at him)he cleared his throat and finally spoke: "You all better start learning European languages."

FOUR DAYS LATER

KURAMA'S POV
It has been a week now that you have been with the woman who calls herself the Ice Queen, and let's just say your body was going to be permanently frozen if she didn't give you a break soon. You had learned much about her though in the past four days. Her powers over ice were like that of a god, when she was happy it melted, when she was angry the ice got colder. And in the four days you had been with her, you found out more about the root of her power behind the door. If it was damaged in any way possible, the ice around you would melt and her power would drop significantly. You had learned that the ice queen was just a shell of a human who had gotten lost in the woods, and that the thing behind the door was the real ice queen. You had to find someway to un-melt and get behind that door. Though the two next to you had already tried. Apparently she had interest in guys with dark hair and pure white hair at one point, and changed her mind over 100 years ago. So, as you stood frozen in the middle of the room, you conversed with the two she had placed in the center of the room with you. One was clearly a Dragon Demon, or maybe a human who had been cursed or gained the powers of the dragon. He had long black hair, wavy and full, like yours. He had blood red eyes that shown only anger when the Ice Queen was present but a sadness could be seen when she was gone. He had black wings, black claw-like nails, and his feet were very strange. His legs were that of a dragon while his top half was that of a human. He had two black tear like streaks going down his tanned face and on his hand, even though it was frozen you could see his hand was covered in a dragon shaped scar. Much like Hiei's, but it was more of an actual scar. He had told you himself in great detail how his father had engraved his clans symbol with a dagger and green ink. His name was Tatsu, true his name literally meant Dragon. But he couldn't help what his father had named him at birth. And the second, was even stranger. He had pure white hair, and light blue eyes, though they were glowing with a strange energy that you couldn't quite place. He was clearly human, yet his aura stated otherwise with age. His name was Maximilian, Maximilian Payen. He told you how he had been of the British heritage, and how he wasn't completely human. Other then that said he rarely spoke. Tatsu's story you knew, for he had told you his story with great pride. He happened to be an example of all the dragon's that had banded together, fell in love, and had children. He was a mixture of all the dragons. An elemental dragon. You had stated how you knew another elemental dragon, Kichirou. He asked you many questions about the boy. Tatsu had also been a very fierce warrior in his day, though he was still quite young. He stated how he had gone from being a lowly squire to being a commander of an army. An army that had tried and failed to take the Ice Queen's underground fortress. His love life was a sad one. He had been inlove with a human woman, and stated that it wasn't uncommon for dragons to mate with humans. He had wagered war and been captured by the Ice Queen months before he had found that his mate was pregnant. The Ice Queen had told him with great happiness how the baby was to be a bastard. You quickly found out that he was Kichirou's long lost father. His story was interesting indeed to listen too. Maximilian however... His was another story entirely. When you had finally got him to tell you his story he told you with no emotion whatsoever. He said that a young Master had waited years to find a man who would be worthy of his great power, but after 300 years his Master couldn't find one and decided to create one. Maximilian, you had learned quickly, for he had merrily stated it dryly before he started his story, was he was made of actual dirt. He was created from rock, mud and mostly clay. The clay for his body, the rock for his insides, and the mud for his blood. He also had a few leaves put in, very special leaves that would grant him immortality as long as he feed once a month. Which you had seen with your own eyes. The Ice Queen was feeding him these little balls of light, souls. Spirits of the dead, or murdered in the Ice Queens case, she had many to keep him alive for years to come. Not only was the detail of his creation a bit scary, but so was the Master who had gave him his power before the Master had wilted away. But, other then that they were nice to talk to. Nice to have around. They were different from the others who remained quiet, or who had frozen to death and the Ice Queen hadn't noticed yet. “I just wish I could see my boy...” Tatsu said for the umpteenth time. You actually could relate greatly to that, you wanted to see Kichirou again because you saw him as a little brother. But you especially wanted to see Ai again. And you swore, the first thing you would say when you saw her was going to be how much you loved her... that is if you ever saw her again. The Ice Queen had stated with great joy how she froze Ai and watched as the 'bat-bitch' plummeted to the ground. It pained you greatly, there was a 90% chance she was dead. And a 10% chance she was alive. But you held on greatly to that 10%. “Your always talking about a kid. Brat, brat, brat, brat, brat! It's brats that drive your lovers to insanity.” Maximilian stated with an angry sigh in his voice. Tatsu gave him a stern look, “At least you got to see your baby girl!” he shouted, and yet again the two fathers quarreled. It had been three days since you had met them, and all they would do is fight about the different views they had on children. “You got to hold your child!” “But my child scared my wife half to death, making her think I was some sort of abomination just because I gave her life.” Max stated calmly, which made you wonder about him. He looked over at you, since you had met him, you found that the Ice Queen liked to battle him. Just sword combat and nothing more. But she always left a block of ice attached to the hand that held his sword, suppressing his own power from being used against her. And you had watched one of the battles, Maximilian had great blood lust as the Queen did. His clothes were strange and very old. It looked like an old suit of armor, one that you would find in some sort of video game with knights, and he happened to be the final battle... actually, from looking at pictures Kichirou made of knights for a year it looked a lot like the paladin armor that he had made. And you found out that like you, the Ice Queen had Tatsu for stories. She never unfroze him, and you quickly found that Tatsu wasn't affected by the ice cold wise because his main element was ice. Tatsu rolled his eyes again, “Always bragging about how you can bring people to life.” “It's easy when your a god.” Maximilian said happily with a smile. “Excuse me, but what do you mean your brought your daughter to life?” Maximilian looked over at you and smiled. “It's actually one of my favorite stories...” “Oh dear lord not again...” said Tatsu. “You see, after I was made I was given a power, a great power that can be used for both good and evil. Yet, I use it anyway I please. After my master died I went out on my own, collecting souls in order to survive. I had found a pretty strong soul wandering around, one that would keep my alive for about...” he tilted his head up to the ceiling and thought about it for a moment, “100 years even. Without snacks.” The way he said it sounded weird. But you listened anyway. “So, I took the soul and feed off of the lesser souls I had. Because you can't save the weak ones for a rainy day, they spoil faster then the stronger ones do. After a year or so of finding the soul, I met a beautiful woman. And she was like the kind of women I liked too, she loved fun, and was very sexual. I had relations with her and she bore me a girl.” He looked at you with happiness in his eyes, “She looked exactly like me.” then his eyes went back to being unemotional, “But, because I do not have an actual soul, she only had half of one, and died soon after. She died while in my arms. My wife thought I had killed her, and ordered that I give her the child's body and leave. In my panic for my own flesh and blood... or half. I took the strong soul I had found and placed it into my baby girl. My wife watched in horror as I did and once the baby was breathing she took it from me and called the police. I easily was rid of them and went back to her. I wanted to be with my child. She refused and said I was a monster, holding the baby that after hours, looked exactly like the soul I had put into the body.” he said with great anger. But then he smiled and laughed, “Bitch tried to kill me, and when that didn't work, she tried to kill my girl. I cursed her so that if she were to even cut the child, she would die and the rest of her years would be given to my baby along with the years she gained for having her own soul, and the years of the soul I put within her itself. And I got the last laugh in more ways then one.” “What do you mean?” you asked. This guy was finally opening up to you in the reason why he didn't like his wife at all and always fought with Tatsu about it. “You see, the girl, my wife had named Akira. But I had the last laugh, and ordered her name on her birth certificate to be changed to the name we had agreed on before. She had kicked me out before we put the babies name in writing. I had named her.” you just listened. But didn't get anything, “What did you name her?” you asked curiously. He smiled and laughed, “You should know. Your smitten and talk an awful lot about her.”

AI'S POV
It had been a week since Kurama had been kidnapped, and fours days since you had started European language lessons. Kichirou was working better at it then you were. But then again you weren't interested in learning the damn languages, you were more interested in finding Kurama, and beating the fuck out of that damned Ice Bitch. You looked at all the different buildings. It was like falling right into a fairy tale. And due to your mothers love of European guys when you were five, you heard many stories from the man. You had been sent to Europe after one day of learning the languages. Just you and Kichirou sadly, Yusuke was in big trouble with Keiko for forgetting their two year or however long they've been together anniversary, so Yusuke was stuck with Keiko for a week and took Kuwabara with him. Boton wanted to go with you, but Koenma had sent her on some business that she needed to do. She would be in Europe in about two days. Your wings were wrapped around your midsection, a long black coat on to cover them up. Kichirou never leaving your side because he didn't like one of the men who walked up to you named Basil. You just punched him in the face. The side of your lip twitched, so far you had been in Czech Republic, Russia, Rome even. Then you went to Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Hungary, Romania, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, Bulgaria, Spain, Ukraine, Austria, Slovenia, Belarus, Estonia, Litvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Belgium, Liechtenstein, France, Andorra, San Marino. Hell, you had been all over, all you needed to search now was Germany, and the last time you talked to Koenma you said that Kurama had better be there or Koenma wasn't going to see his binky again for a very long time. You just could not find the damn ice hearted bitch. “HEY! WAIT UP POINTY EARS!” “HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU DON'T CALL ME THAT!” you yelled as you turned around and grabbed Yusuke by the front of his shirt as soon as he got to you. “Where did you guys come from?” Kichirou asked him curiously. Yusuke smiled, “Koenma sent us, now let's go and find Kurama.” he said, Kuwabara popping up right behind him. You rolled your eyes and put Yusuke down and began looking for Kurama again.

ICE QUEENS POV
You had decided to give Kurama and the other two a break. You had been neglecting your favorite little girl after all. She reminded you of yourself at that age, so you were working to make her EXACTLY like you. “No Ula! You walk like this!” you said with a smile and started showing her how to walk correctly, which she greatly improved on since five hours ago. “Your Highness!” You stomped your foot, “You know not to interrupt while I am in a learning session Basil!” you whined and threw a snowball at him. It hit him right in the face, but he continued to speak with the snow falling off his face. “The bat survived!” You tilted your head to the side, “You must be joking... I froze and watched her die myself.” you said with a smile, waving your gloved hand around. Basil frantically shook his head, “No miss. I saw her myself. Did you know she's got a excellent right hook?” Your eyes widened and started glowing. Ula saw this and ran out of the room, like you had shown her. You bunched your hands into fists, waved them around and stomped your feet on the ice floor of your ball room. “THAT BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!” you screamed as you threw your head back, your underground castle literally shaking from your anger. And a deadly snowstorm forming outside.

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho... Not even the pebble Kurama used in the Dark Tournament.
