Sky couldn't take anymore and broke the connection. She started silently sobbing, her bangs shadowing her eyes. Meg and Kurama opened their eyes. “I think I'll take my leave.” Meg stood up and disappeared.

 

Kurama placed an arm around the crying vixen. “So you were the reason Kuronue spent so much time in his room?” he said with a slight smile.

 

Sky sniffed. “Sorry, I'm not,” sniff, “usually like this.”

 

Kurama shook his head. “Nonsense, it's ok to mourn the loss of your mate, just as long as you don't kill yourself.” He wiped her tears off her face. “Now, I believe that we have a lot of catching up to do.”

 

Sky looked up hopeful. “You mean you believe me?”

 

“After today, I'll believe anything.”

 

“So, if I told you that the sky was purple…”

 

Kurama chuckled and pulled his sister into a hug. “Well, maybe not anything.” Sky giggled.

 

~Inside~

 

Rika walked into Genkai's temple and plopped down on the couch. “Genkai-sama!” she called from her seat on the couch. “Genkai-sama! Where are you?”

 

Genkai entered the room with her fingers in her ears. “Honestly, I don't know who has a bigger mouth, you or the dimwit.”

 

“Nice to see you too grandma.” Yusuke said.

 

“You're the dimwit she's taken as her student?” Rika said surprised. “Who would've thought it?”

 

“Apparently not you onna.” Hiei sneered.

 

Not even Hiei saw what came next, but suddenly he was crashed into the was and Rika stood with her fist in front of her. “I've told you over and over, my name is Rika, not onna. Get that through your thick skull.”

 

When Hiei didn't respond, Andrea went over to check if he was still alive. “You knocked him unconscious!” she exclaimed.

 

“Serves him right for being so mean to me.” Rika snorted.

 

“I'm guessing she's another addition to the team.” Genkai said noting to Andrea.

 

“Actually, three additions.” Yusuke said. “This one's Andrea, her sister Meg who's outside with Kurama and Sky, Sky's number three. Apparently she's Kurama's sister.”

 

The door slid open then slid shut but there wasn't anybody there. Andrea smirked. “Hey Meg, you're still invisible.” She said.

 

Meg materialized by Yusuke and Genkai. “Oops, sorry about that.” She said with a smile. “How old are you Yusuke?”

 

“Why?” Yusuke asked slowly.

 

“I'm just curious. I know that Hiei and Kurama are centuries older than me, you've got demon blood, and I want to know how old you are.”

 

“Uh…ok. 20.”

 

“Really, just 20?” Yusuke nodded. “Then you're only three years older than me, and seven years younger than my sister.” (in case you're bad at math, Meg's 17 and Andrea's 27)

 

“K then,” Rika said standing up. “I'm heading to my room, you ok with that Genkai-sama? Tomorrow I've got to go and get my stars re-purified. They didn't seem to completely purify after today's battle.”

“I think that might be my fault.” Andrea said. “The youki that I sent into them during your battle with Clara-”

 

“Nah, don't worry about it. I haven't have them purified in two years. For some reason, Kagome seems to be sick a lot.” Rika shrugged and left.

 

Andrea noticed Meg acting differently from normal when Yusuke seemed to be around. She decided to say something to her younger sister. Since Meg was a telepath, Andrea could send it mentally. `Meg, you can hear me?' she sent.

 

`Sure, what is that you couldn't say out loud?' Meg sent back.

 

`You like Yusuke, don't you?'

 

Andrea saw Meg blush at this. `I guess I do, buy you're really the only person I know who truly cares about me.'

 

`I understand you're being cautious; I'm doing the same. But I was almost eleven when our pack was viciously murdered by Jake and Vlad. I've seen the love of our parents, so I know a small bit more about mates than you.'

 

`Yeah, who are you being cautious towards?' Andrea blushed and looked down. `Oh, the forbidden child? This should be interesting.'

 

`Same to you.'

 

Unknown to the two wolves, Hiei and his jagan eye heard every word.

 

`Hey, what's that supposed to mean Andy?'

 

`Nothing. I'm just glad that you're willing to let someone into your heart after all that we went through. But do you think that he'll want to be there?'

 

`I hope so.'

 

`For your sake, I hope so too. You don't need or deserve heartbreak. You're such an innocent pure girl.'

 

`Hey, you are too, and you can remember what happened to our family. If I had seen what you did first hand, I probably would have killed myself.'

 

Andrea's eyes widened. `You went into my mind!'

 

Meg winced. `I'm sorry, you were whimpering again in your sleep, I was concerned, sorry.'

 

`Eh, don't worry about it.' Andrea shook her head slightly.

 

~In Rika's room~

 

Rika was digging through her trunk. “Where is that darn thing?” she said. Her stuff was scattered around the room. “Ah, here it is.” She pulled out a small cell phone. Rika dialed the number. “Yes, is Kagome in?…she's broken her back…who was that?…Hey Kagome, I thought you broke your back…sorry, it's Rika…yeah, my stars are losing their ability. Is tomorrow good?…Ok, see you then.” Rika slipped her phone into a carrying case and hooked onto the belt that was usually on her waist that now laid on the floor. Then she laid down on her bed. “Maybe I should ask her about that little pink jewel I found. Yeah, note to self, give Kagome pink jewel thingy.” She rolled over and fell asleep.

 

~In Genkai's main room~

 

Hiei woke up and was standing in the corner with his normal `I hate the world' scowl. Sky and Kurama had come in and were sitting on the couch, Kurama trying to get Sky to try some tea.

 

Sky wrinkled her nose. “No, Yoko. That stuff smells horrid.”

 

“I guess I've gotten used to the smell.” Kurama laughed. “Andrea, Meg, would either of you like a cup?”

 

“No.” Andrea said holding her nose.

 

“I'm good. I can't drink what my nose doesn't like.” Meg said holding her own nose.

 

Kurama laughed again. “I should've guessed. Where's Rika, I'm sure she'd like some.”

 

“Not likely.” Genkai said. “She hates this kind of tea. She prefers a teabag from her home.”

 

“Where's she from anyways?” Yusuke asked.

 

“Originally, America. But she's got a place to stay in multiple places. She travels, a lot.”

 

“I bet she's asleep.” Sky said. “She tends to fall asleep whenever she lays down. Not a good thing when in battle. I've tried to help her with it, but no good.”

 

“I too have noticed that.”

 

“Let her sleep, it's kinda late, I think I'll go find a good spot in the forest to curl up an sleep.” Andrea said. She stood up and yawned. “Coming Meg?”

 

“In a minute.” Meg said.

 

Andrea left outside. Meg decided to have a conversation with Hiei. `Hiei, you were listening to our conversation earlier, weren't you?'

 

`Hn.'

 

`We've been through a lot, she doesn't show, it that well, but Andrea's truly been hurt, badly. Both mentally and physically. Please comfort her, I can't do much anymore.'

 

`Why should I?'

 

“Because you've been through a lot of hardships as well.'

 

`Hn.' Hiei slipped out the door without anyone noticing. Meg smiled.

 

“I'd better check in with Koenma, we left without dealing with Jake and Vlad.” Botan said as she summoned her oar.

 

“I wouldn't worry about those two. I had many plants around that will keep them occupied for quite a while. If you send your officials down in a few weeks and you'll find them trapped in some of my ivy. Take this.” Sky tossed Botan a small pack. “Use it so my plants won't attack you as well.”

 

“Oh, thank you.” Botan opened the door and flew off on her oar.

 

“Well, I'm gonna find a good tree to sleep in after I have a quick word with Rika.” Sky stood up and stretched. “See you all in the morn.”

 

“You don't have to sleep in a tree you know.” Kurama said.

 

“Yeah, but I want to.”

 

“If you feel that you want to sleep inside, you can have the room at the end of the hall.” Genkai said.

 

“Thank you.” Sky left down the hall to Rika's room. Slowly, she slid open the door, slid in and just as slowly, closed the door. She crept over to Rika and whispered. “Baka hentai onna.”

 

“I AM NOT!” Rika yelled shooting up. She turned and saw sky sitting on the floor. “Why do you do that?”

 

“Cuz it's fun.” Sky said grinning. “Tell me something, do you have feeling for my brother?”

 

Rika blinked a few times. “What?”

 

“Do you have feelings for my brother?”

 

“Uh…I guess I do.”

 

“Ok, that's all I needed to know.” She got up and headed for the door.

 

“Hold on Sky, why did you need to know?”

 

“I have my reasons.” Sky gave Rika a vixen smile and closed the door behind her.

 

Rika stared at the door. “Why did she have to be a fox, why couldn't she have been something else? Foxes are too playful for their own damn good.” She laid back down and went back to sleep.
