Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Everything Unknown ❯ Chapter Seven: Operation Surprise ( Chapter 7 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Yay, for me another review! Again Ashnight, I did answer your question below chapter three. The answer is that, no, Z and Sky Zolo are not related to Roronoa Zolo. I just got the idea for them from him.

Chapter Seven: Operation Surprise

"Alright do we have everything guys?" Anna asked.

"Sure thing boss, we have balloons, streamers, a cake, party hats, the whole enchilada," said Sky playing along with Anna being in charge of course.

"Okay then all you guys have to do is keep Amelia out of the house until we're done decorating, got it?"

"We got it Anna. You sure you don't need help though, planning a party may be a little too tough for you," Z teased.

"Shut up or I'll knock you right into next week."

Everyone laughed at Anna's threat. Anna could be a kind and gentle child when she wanted to be, but get her mad and you're in trouble.

"Okay, okay we're off just don't blow anything up while we're gone," Z said.

Z eventually caught up with Amelia. She was amazed that she hadn't beaten anyone up yet especially since she was in such a sour mood.

"Hey what's bugging you?"

"Go away Z, leave me alone."

"You don't mean that."

"Yeah I do."

"Aw come on, tell me you'll feel better."

"Fine you really want to know what bugging me? I'm scared alright. I'm scared of leaving home. What if you guys forget me while I'm gone? Or what if you and Sky find a new friend and..."

"And what else?"

"I just get this feeling that something bad is going to happen."

"Is that all?"

"What do you mean "is that all?”?

"You have got to stop worrying so much. Those boys are here to help you. They're going to protect you if you need it. "

"And I think that short one likes you. He's always staring at you like he's trying to figure you out. You may end up with your first boyfriend out of all this," Z whispered.

"Shut up. He doesn't like me okay? Now get that idea out of your head this instant," Amelia said, giving her a playful punch in the arm.

"Hey you guys, uh I mean girls, wait up!"

"Hey Sky, took you long enough."

"Is it my fault you ran like there's no tomorrow?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'll let you know when I start to care."

"So...who's up for hitting the arcade and spending all the money we have?" Amelia asked.

"You've got my vote!" They said.

Back at home the detectives were helping decorate for the party.

"Remind me why we have to do this again," Yusuke whined.

"Because I said so and Amelia's not leaving here without a birthday party. And besides the faster you help the sooner Amelia leaves with you guys. Is that enough to motivate you?" Anna asked.

"Sure I guess."

"Jeez. Do this, do that. That brat may be even more of a slave driver than Koenma," Yusuke grumbled.

"She's coming, she's coming! Everybody hide!"

Amelia, Z, and Sky walk through the door.

"Why the heck is it so dark in here?

"Surprise," everyone yelled.

"What the...oh I forgot my birthday again huh?"

"Yeah you did. You can be more of a moron than Sky sometimes you know that?"

"Hey! Who are you calling a moron?"

"Sorry bro couldn't resist."

A few hours later the party's over and the children are either asleep or running around like wild animals from the sugar high they got from the food.

"Okay time for presents!" Anna yelled.

"Open our present first okay. It's from all of us."

Amelia opened the small gift. It was a picture of all of them Anna, Amelia, Mom, Sky, Z, and all the rest of the kids.

"You can bring it on your trip with you so you can't forget us."

Amelia's eyes welled with tears but she quickly wiped them away.

"Thanks Anna that's really nice," she said; receiving a big smile from Anna.

"Okay here's one from us," Yusuke said while giving her a small package that wasn't wrapped very well.

She opened it and wasn't all that surprised to find it was a passport. She couldn't really expect them to get something she'd like; they didn't really know her anyway.

"Uh, thanks Yusuke that's really...thoughtful."

"Put the dumb passport down and open our present. You're going to love this," Z told her.

Amelia opened the present to find a sword. It looked like one of Z or Sky's swords except it had a red dragon carved into the sheath.

"Oh wow. You're right this is...wow."

"I know swords aren't really your thing, but you can just keep in your room or something. You can think of us when you see it," Sky said.

"Thanks you guys I love it," she said while hugging both of them; her eyes brimming with tears.

"This has been the best birthday ever. I'm really going to miss you guys."

"You won't be gone for that long anyway, right? Just make sure that you don't make any new friends while you're there, got it?" Anna commanded.

With that everyone went to bed. Z and Sky went home and Amelia helped calm the children down.

The detectives went to bed too, all but Hiei and Kurama.

"Is something on your mind Hiei?”

"There's just something strange about her."

"What do you mean?"

"Her mother said she doesn't know when her birthday is. She's also been here the longest out of anyone. But, we don't know what happened to her before she got here."

"She hasn't mentioned it that's why. I'm sure she probably doesn't like talking about it. And maybe she just pretends to forget her birthday."

Hiei wouldn't be able to convince Kurama without telling him about Amelia's dreams. That would mean admitting that he had been spying on her. And that was something Hiei really didn't want to do.

"Never mind," Hiei told him.

They both went upstairs but Hiei went back to Amelia's room and watched her through the window. She was dreaming again, but for once it seemed to not be a nightmare.

What could have happened to her? Is she really who she thinks she is, or is she something more than that? Hiei thought.

Hiei could feel someone was watching, but couldn't pinpoint his location. So he acted like he didn't notice.

"Dream while you can Amara. Because soon your life as you know it will be over and you will know nothing but nightmares," the mysterious entity said to himself.
