~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Third Person
POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Two figures stood side by side. They were twins, but looking
upon them, one couldn�t tell as they seemed like complete opposites of each
other. They stood at the same height with different body builds. The muscular
one had black hair and seemed to be more on the cold side. His body was built
for strength while his companion�s was built for speed and grace. The other had
flowing silver-white hair.

Of course if anyone was caught looking at them, he or she
would have thought these two were in costume, for in the clearing stood two
powerful fox youkai. The two of them had slipped out of their ningen disguises
to greet this mysterious person. They had sensed the power surge not too long
ago and now were searching for the source of it; however the power surge didn�t
last long and now they were forced to sniff him or her out, which was taking
them longer.

The white haired fox youkai searched the area where his
senses last picked up the power. Unlike his brother, he had more training
mentally instead of using various weapons. He mastered some weapons while his
brother had practically mastered every weapon he could get his paws onto. Still
both of them were forces to be reckoned with.

�Have you picked anything up?� The dark haired youkai
growled to his younger brother. He hated waiting and not being able to sense
energies like his brother. If it came down to it, he preferred an all out
combat as opposed to a stealth one.

The light haired youkai shook his head. He had not been able
to pick up any energy signature. In his mind, he knew it was somewhere close.
His instincts told him to be alert as they spoke for that person lurked
somewhere. He knew his brother wasn�t exactly the patient type so he hurried.

On this summer day, the sun shined with a blazing heat. Most
people retreated under the shade or into a pool during peak hours. The breeze
decided not to make its presence known, making several people and youkai
grumble. Nevertheless, they managed to survive with it by creating their own
using air conditioners. That meant their electric bills went up. The birds
waited for the weather to cool down before heading out of their nests unless
they had young ones to feed. In that case, they were out, hunting for food.

�What�s taking you so long?� The dark haired youkai inquired
his little brother. Normally, his brother wouldn�t have any trouble tracking
down their prey. They were bounty hunters as youkai, but now that they have
lived human lives, they pretty much went into retirement. Before then, they
were the best in the business and usually took high risk jobs.

�This person must be disguising his or her power,� the light
haired one said completely exasperated. �I can�t track his or her scent either
because we don�t have a sample.�

He knew his brother was irritated and cranky. They were
risking being caught by the spirit detectives or rogue youkai. Also the ningen
might find them and go running to the authorities, which would lead the spirit
detectives to them.

Suddenly, a flash of blue caught the older twin�s eye. He
knew if it weren�t for his youkai senses he wouldn�t have detected anything.
�We have company.� He yipped to his brother in the fox youkai language, hoping
that the intruder didn�t understand.

The younger brother just nodded his head and went about
searching for the power source while keeping alert. He too saw a flash of blue
after his brother had warned him. Before the older youkai could react, his
brother was being charged at by a lavender haired man. His ber, er, having
superior speed compared to him, reacted as fast as the intruder. They were
exchanging blow for blow.

�We have no time for this,� the dark haired youkai yipped as
he watched the struggle. As much as he wanted to help, he knew he couldn�t keep
up with their speeds. Besides, he would have gotten in the way of his brother,
but if the tide of the battle turned out of their favor, he will have his say
in it. Even though he wasn�t as good in sensing power, he knew this intruder
had a low power compared to the one they had felt earlier or so what it seemed
to be.

�He�s good,� the light haired one thought to himself. His
opponent had matched him blow for blow. He wasn�t used to facing someone as
fast as him. That was when he discovered his opponent was not only fast but he
had muscle to back it up. He was forced to go on the defensive once the
lavender haired teen decided to put more muscle into his attacks.

Pretty soon the younger youkai found himself flat on his
back with a blade near his throat. His brother came charging in the second he
noticed his brother on the losing end of the battle. However, he was brushed
aside by the demi-saiyan�s strength. He severely underestimated his opponent,
which wasn�t going to happen again as he stood up and readied himself for
another attack. His ears were flat against his skull and he once again tried to
dislodge his brother�s captor. Unfortunately, he wasn�t as strong as the violet
haired teen.

�What and who are you?� The violet haired teen asked his
captive. In his life, he had never met up with a creature such as one he
captured. He met a Namek, Piccolo when he went back in time, not to mention a
full blooded saiyan. His mother was a human and his mentor was like him, half
human and half saiyan.

�I�m a fox demon,� the light haired youkai replied. His
golden eyes were focused on the sword rather than the person holding the sword.
Sure, he could heal from fatal wounds, but he needed to keep his head on his
body. And besides, he liked his head where it was. �As for my name, I can�t
tell you because I have a reputation among us youkai.�

The captor raised a brow at the statement. �What exact
reputation do you have?�

�We�re bounty hunters,� the captive said. His brother
watched; his muscles tensed. �And no we don�t hunt humans.�

�Why is that?� The demi-saiyan
inquired. This was his first encounter with a youkai so naturally he wanted to
learn more.

�It�s the law,� the older youkai replied. If it weren�t for
the law, they could have expanded their business into the ningen world. He also
knew if he made a wrong move he could lose the only living relative he had
left. Their parents were killed while they were g. Ig. It was one of the
reasons why they had chosen to become bounty hunters.

�I see,� the captor said thoughtfully. He used his free hand
to tap his chin. �Why are you here?�

�We thought you could have been a powerful youkai,� the
captive explained, trying not to stutter. �In our line of business, it is a
risk we cannot afford to take. As I said, we are not popular with our kind.
Besides that, we want to live normal lives now.�

�Then why would you take up that career?� The captor asked,
now confused on the two.

�It wasn�t much of a choice,� the older youkai explained
this time. �My brother here isn�t accepted by our kind due to his element. He
uses the light element, which is the complete opposite of youkai nature. There
are a few who wield this element, but they are quickly killed off. Our parents
were killed while we were young so it didn�t leave us with much option. Once we
found an opportunity to get away from it all, we took it.�

The captor mulled over their words. True, either one of them
could have used their powers early in the fight, but they were only using their
physical abilities against him. Perhaps, they wanted to learn more about him
before they actually killed him. �Why didn�t you use your powers against me?�
His blue eyes had a gleam of curiosity.

�We don�t kill for entertainment,� the older youkai spat. �More
to the point, we didn�t know if you were after us or someone different all
together.�

�I�m actually lost,� the captor admitted sheepishly. He
scratched the back of his head with his free hand. Since they had revealed
themselves, he thought he should return the favor. �I�m from the future, a
different time line. I wanted to see my friends, but something must have
knocked my time machine from the path and I wound up here.�

�Would you mind removing your sword from my brother?� The
dark haired youkai asked politely as possible as he can. In a low voice, he
also added, �He�s the only family I have left.�

The demi-saiyan nodded his head.
He knew what it was like to have only survsurviving family member. If his
mother died, he didn�t know what he would do. His mentor died at the hands of
those killer androids. His father had also been killed by them while he was
young. That was one of the reasons why he went back in time. He wanted to meet
his father. The violet haired teen removed the blade away from the younger youkai,
who nodded his head in thanks. He helped his former captive from the ground.

�I hope I didn�t hurt you,� he said with concern.

The younger youkai shook his head. �I have the power ofght.ght. Besides that, I�m a full demon, meaning I heal faster than most ningen.�

�You mentioned a time machine,� the older youkai spoke up,
while keeping an eye out for eavesdroppers. �We need to make sure it�s safe,
because I know several youkai would love to get their claws onto it.�

�Even if they steal it from me, it wouldn�t do them any
good,� the violet haired teen informed them. �First of all, they would need to
recharge the power cells. Trying to correct my course took more energy than I
had originally anticipated. Second, you need a manual on how to operate it correctly.
I had my mom teach me. She personally invented this.�

�I suggest we find another place to talk because I sense a
couple of youkai heading this way fast,� the younger one spoke up abruptly. He
felt a sense of darkness in that youkai, meaning this one controlled the
element of darkness. �I suppose you can suppress your powers, because I had a
hard time of locating you.�

The violet haired teen nodded his head. He turned to look in
the direction the energy signature was coming from. When he looked back at his
two companions, they appeared to be normal humans and now can be considered
twins. His eyes blinked rapidly as he tried to digest the information.

�Come on, we don�t have much time,� the older one said,
grabbing onto his hand and dragging him away from there. �I�ll explain once
we�re home.�

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Kurama�s
POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kuwabara and I headed towards my mother�s house. On the way
there, we encountered a handful of youkai. It was apparent they were searching
for my mother, because they were tailing us once they caught sight. With my
companion�s sharp energy senses and my sense of smell, we were able to find
them with no problem and dispatch them quickly, leaving no one to call for
backup.

I stopped abruptly at my front door and was almost flattened
by Kuwabara if I hadn�t stepped out of the way at the last second possible.
Good thing my door withstood such force. I didn�t want my mother to be paying
for this. After all, we were barely managing and I might have to find a job if
anything should happen.

Fishing out my keys, I dropped them and fumbled for the
house key. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kuwabara peeling himself off my
front door. He stumbled a bit, but then regained his equilibrium in no time.

�Jeeze Kurama, I thought you were
more graceful than that,� he chuckled at me. He had this goofy smile of his,
which made me want to strangle him at that veeconecond.

�I�m merely worried my mother might be in their hands,� I
said as I shoved the key rather harshly into the lock. His smile changed to a
frown. He knew the danger to my mother and his honor wouldn�t let him mock me
at the moment. I was grateful for it. With a few turns, I had my front door
open and walked into a nice house. Good, they haven�t been here.

Kuwabara took his time to look around the place. I believed
it was his first time over at my house. Hiei was a frequent visitor as he used
this place as refuge when the weather became unbearable. Yusuke sometimes would
drop by when he needed help with his homework or something in life. Why was it
people turned to me for help or advice?

I couldn�t smell her as it hung heavily in the air. No duh,
she lived here so it would be natural her scent was everywhere. �Mother?� I called out to her, hoping that she would answer
like she always does.

No one answered and I glanced over to Kuwabara, who
shrugged. Of course he wouldn�t know the energy signature my mother had,
because he had never met her. He only heard of her, during the tournament. Yusuke
was the only one out of our group, who formally met my mother and he was with
Hiei doing clean up.

I slipped into the kitchen. She usually could be found here,
creating wonderful food, but she wasn�t here. Maybe she might be upstairs or
doing the laundry, perhaps even cleaning? I walked out of the room and pushed
past a surprised Kuwabara. He probably didn�t have time to retort or he knew
that I wasn�t exactly in the best of moods and didn�t want to push his luck.

Quickly, I looked all over the first floor before proceeding
to the second floor. Now that I thought about it, I haven�t heard anything
besides us since we have been here. Then you have to take into consideration
there was no sign of break in or struggle. This made me more nervous and high strung.

�She isn�t here,� I slumped over in my room. My room was the
last one I searched. I buried my head into my hands and curled up on my bed.
�What if they have taken her? What if they�re torturing her as we speak?� I
received a jolt in the form of a slap.

�Stop thinking about it,� Kuwabara said with a serious tone.
His eyes became squinty and his hands were on his hips. �Everything is going to
be all right. She might have stepped out for groceries or whatever mom�s do.�

My green eyes blinked rapidly for the next minute or so as I
digested the information. For once, I wasn�t the rationae, we, which deep down
inside made me happy to a certain degree. �I�ve been to the grocery store
yesterday, and besides, she usually leaves me a note.�

�You were out and I think she thought she will be back
before you,� Kuwabara suggested. Now something was wrong with him. He usually
doesn�t come up with ideas. �If you�re wondering, it happens a lot with my
family.� Ah, so that was where he got the idea. Wait a second, how did he know
what I was thinking? Then I recalled what Hiei said to me.

Minutes later, I heard the front door opening and rushed
downstairs before Kuwabara had a chance to register I was exiting the room. I
stood in front of my ningen mother, helping her with the clothing she was
holding.

�Thank you,� she replied in surprise. She wasn�t expecting
me to be home this early. �I thought you were with your friends.�

�There�s no time to explain,� I said, ushering her to her
room on the second floor. Meanwhile, Kuwabara peeked out of my room. �You need
to pack, because it isn�t safe here.�

My mother nodded her head. She knew I wasn�t joking around
and hurried to pack her belongings. Since we didn�t know how long it would be
for, she will need to pack for more than an overnight stay. I decided I would
also need to pack my belongings. In any case, I could always come back here by
myself or with one of the others. There was no way I was going to rmy
my
mother coming back here even with a company of good youkai.

�Kuwabara, I need you to step out of my room,� I asked him
politely as possible since I was kicking him out of my room. �Unless
you want to be run over by a nervous fox youkai.�

�I think I�ll take my chances outside,� Kuwabara laughed as
he exited my room.

With him out of the way, I packed the necessities. Of
course, I wouldn�t be taking any of my textbooks. They were heavy and I had no
school for the time being. Maybe I should pack my portable CD player and a few
CD�s just in case. I hesitated on whether or not I should bring my laptop but
then decided to because we were going to be away for who knows how long.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*1 hour
later*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We were packed and ready to go. Kuwabara didn�t mind
carrying my mother�s larger luggage. She figured she might as well pack enough
supplies for a month, meaning she had two large suitcases and a carry on as
well as her purse. I had one large suitcase, my backpack, and a carry on. Of
course, women had more things they needed than men. I wasn�t about to explore
that mystery, but I did know my mother didn�t wear a lot of make-up or perfume.

Both Kuwabara and I were on constant watch as we headed
towards Genkai�s place. I used my power of illusion to make it seem like we
were carrying smaller items instead of three large suitcases. That way if
someone did see us, it looked like we were normally heading out. I certainly
hope we didn�t meet up with the source of the huge power surge.

�Where are we headed?� My mother inquired with a soft voice.
I could see she was nervous and I don�t blame her. It wasn�t everyday you hide
from murderous youkai. Well, for most of the people it wasn�t normal and I
don�t hide.

�We�re going to a friend�s place,� I answered her vaguely,
because someone may be listening into our conversation.

�I wouldn�t exactly call her a friend,� Kuwabara said off
handedly. It was evident how he felt about Genkai. I at least gave her respect.

�Then what would you call her?� I asked with a hint of
amusement. In the shade, there were several people lounging or keeping
themselves busy. I saw ice cream shops, literally overflowing with customers.
In some of the stores with air conditioner, some people were browsing through
the aisles, taking their sweet time. I don�t blame them.

�A team mate,� the other red head replied. I knew she was
his friend and he was her friend, even if both of them were too stubborn to
admit it. �I wonder where Urameshi and the runt are.�

I sighed in exasperation. �Hiei is not a runt. Honestly, do
you have to call him names?�

�He calls me names all the time,� Kuwabara replied
childishly, which caused my mother to giggle at his antics.

pan> two suitcases down gently
and helped himself to the food as I shook my head.

�I�ll be a few minutes,� I informed my hosts. �I would like
to set our belongings down before we eat.� I didn�t want to sound rude; at the
same time, I wanted to know which room we will be staying in. I�ve been here a
few times, including the whole netherworld incident.

Yukina waved her hand indicating for us to put down our
luggage. �Don�t worry about it. I�m sure Kuwabara will help you after you eat.
Wouldn�t you?� She turned those brown (?) eyes over towards the said person.

Seeing as he had his mouth full, Kuwabara merely nodded very
enthusiastically. She practically had him wrapped around her finger, except she
was too na�ve to take notice of it. Besides, she was too nice to use him.

I placed my belongings near the other suitcases as well as
my mother�s carry on. Yusuke was already helping himself now that he wasn�t
needed. I swore those two can eat like an army. Oh well, at least they fought
like a ningen army. My mother waited patiently for me before she started to eat.

�How long do you plan on crashing at my place?� Genkai asked
rather bluntly. She wasn�t known for being kind.

�I�m hoping a week at the latest,� I answered her after I
swallowed. It was rude to talk with your mouthful, not to mention messy and
completely disgusting. �We�re planning to find a more permanent hiding place
until we take care of our problem.�

�And what is this �problem� you need to take care of?�

The other spirit detectives I fiI filled her in my problem.
She surprisingly listened to our explanations without saying anything until we
were finished. With her, I knew she would make some wise crack about our
situation, but then again, she did agree to let us stay here for the mean time,
though she insisted we help out around the place. She had Yusuke helping her
with her other students. Kuwabara was to use his �muscles� around the house and
help Yukina with the chores. I was to tend the garden and the surrounding
areas. My mother helped with the household chores as well. Hiei, let�s just say
he stayed out of everyone�s way.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*After
Lunch*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I unpacked some of my belongings. Why I didn�t completely
unpack? I originally planned to stay there no more than a week. Then I would
have to pack again when we moved to a more permanent place. I glanced over at
the clock and sighed to myself. This was going to be a long day. I wasn�t tired
physically but emotionally yes.

My mother roomed with Yukina. It made sense as they were
both women while I roomed with Yusuke. Kuwabara had to sleep the furthest away
from all of us due to his snoring. Genkai said she will kick him out if he
refused to sleep in that room. Naturally he accepted, because he wanted to
spend more time with Yukina.

As we were going to stay there for a week, the others
secretly headed to their houses for their supply. Something made me think
Kuwabara was not only picking up his clothing and other daily necessities but a
little bundle of fur as well. He was very fond of the cat from what I could
tell and from what Yusuke informed me.

�Are you okay?� My mother asked me.

Eh? I never noticed her step into my room. This was not
good. I usually was alert. �I�m just tired. That�s all.�

�Are you worried about me?�

Dang, she knew. It must be a mom thing; it had to be a mom
thing. Seriously, they have this book on how to raise children somewhere. I
only nodded my head as I couldn�t lie to her. In the past, I did, though now I
completely regret it. I didn�t want her to know I was a fox youkai or that I
was a former thief.

She walked over to me and sat right next to me. My ningen
mother pulled me close to her. With her hand, she rubbed circles on my back,
comforting me as if I was a child. �Everything�s going to be fine. You�ll see.�

I don�t know whether it was her words or the fact that she
was holding me like she would a young child, but I felt relaxed.

I felt safe.
