Farewell Butterfli

By Ryoken

"Heh heh, that's about the best insult I've heard yet, Shrimp!!" Kuwabara chuckled.

"By all means, laugh; it might just be your last, baka," Hiei threatened.

"Now now, children, let's not get all riled up," Yusuke teased.

"Hn. This is getting old fast. How hard can it be to find a couple of teenage girls who have demons coming after them?" Hiei grumbled.

"A lot harder than it first seemed, that's for sure," came a bubbly voice. They turned around to see Botan. "Have you found anything?"

"Well, we did meet these two really weird girls, but other than that, no," Yusuke reported.

"I've been trying to find traces of those demons from above and from the ground, but I haven't found any leads whatsoever. Little buggers must be incredibly good at hiding themselves," Botan commented. "About these girls-"

"They need to be checked into a psychiatric ward as fast as possible is all I can say," Yusuke said.

"I see. What were their names, and what did they look like?" Botan asked.

"Why?"

"You never know, Yusuke; they might be strange, but it's possible they're the ones we're looking for," she said.

"How in the world could such idiotic fools be the ones we're supposed to be protecting?" Hiei asked.

"Stranger things have happened," Kurama said.

Yusuke and the others gave vivid descriptions of VT and Mizu, not to mention the events of that day as Botan jotted it down on a notepad.

"I'll get some background checks on them and see what comes up. Oh yes! If you go down these two blocks, you'll come across a park. That's where the Parkers are supposed to pick you up. I'll meet you at their house and give you your katana there, Hiei; that way they won't see it."

"Hn, whatever."

"I'll see you later!" She shouted as she flew off on her oar into the air and out of sight.

"Hey Mizu, look! It's da boys!" VT said as they were walking to VT's forest green Durango.

Mizu glanced in her direction. "Mmhmm."

"Come on, let's go say hi!" VT said.

"We've been saying hi all day, shouldn't we be saying goodbye?" Mizu asked sleepily as she was practically dragged towards the detectives.

"HIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!" VT said, as she jumped into their semi-circle. Mizu was following slowly behind.

"Oh, hello VT, Mizu," Kurama said politely.

"Hmmhnnn..." Mizu said. Her eyes were drooping.

"Hehe, she is tired, she is," VT said. She tried propping Mizu on her shoulder, but she refused. "Come on, I'll show my treetree,"

"Nani?" Yusuke said.

"Her car," Mizu explained.

"What kind of an idiot names their car treetree?" Kuwabara asked to his friends.

"What kind of an idiot names their car?" Hiei said instead.

VT skipped up to her car and hugged it. "How is my treetree??"

"Don't be scared; she's hyped up on sugar right now," Mizu said as she yawned.

Suddenly Mizu screamed as she was hauled into the air and over the shoulder of a bleached hair teenager who had the striking resemblance to Shishiwakamaru, but in human clothing.

"PUT ME DOWN AND I'LL ONLY SCRATCH OUT ONE OF YOUR EYES!!!!!!! Mizu yelled as she pounded on the boy's back.

The boy merely smiled and said "Ah, you must be the new exchange students." The four watched him warily. "My name is Jess, and-"

"HE'S THE SCHOOL PERV WHO'S GOAL IN LIFE IS TO RAPE ALL THE GIRLS IN THE SCHOOL, NOW PUT ME DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Mizu screamed at the top of her lungs.

"You're too much, sweetie-"

"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME SWEETIE, I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!!" She yelled. Mizu continued to struggle against Jess's firm grip.

Jess laughed. "Now now, you wouldn't want me to lose my grip, now would you? You might get hurt and scar that beautiful face of yours." He returned his gaze to the Reikai Tantei. "Now where was I? Oh yes, what are you doing with my little pixies?"

"YOUR PIXIES!?!?!?!? WE DON'T BELONG TO ANYONE, YOU STUPID HENTAI!!!!!!!" VT exclaimed furiously.

"Heh, it seems that they don't know what you're talking about. Perhaps you had better leave them alone," Kurama smirked.

"Oh, so you CAN speak English," Jess said. "All the better so I don't have play charades with you losers all day. I have much more important things to do with my time. Come, my little nymph," he said, as he turned and began walking away, Mizu still on his shoulders, struggling to get free.

VT ran up to him from behind and punched him square in the back, and he immediately dropped Mizu and landed on his hands and knees, who began to kick and tear at him, but was held back by VT's arms.

"You little bitch, I oughtta-" He began to say, when Mizu began to speak and kick at the same time.

"I'm not A bitch-" She said, kicking him in the stomach. "I'm THE bitch-" Mizu put her foot on his shoulder. "And that's MS. Bitch to you!!!!" And she pushed him onto the asphalt.

VT picked Jess up by the collar. "This is for Mizu." She slapped him. "This is for all women everywhere." She backhanded him. "And this one is just for the hell of it!!" She bitchslapped him very hard, and then gave him a punch straight to the nose, landing him on his ass again. Jess's nose was bleeding.

"You're gonna pay for this one, ohhhh are you ever going to pay," he said as he walked away, his gang surrounding him.

"Anytime, kusohitsu(shithead)!!" Mizu yelled.

"Don't you think that last part was a little over the top?" Kurama asked.

"Nah," VT and Mizu said.

"Well, I guess you girls can take care of yourselves then?" Hiei said, a slight smirk on his face.

"That's right! So long as we're together, we're invincible!!!!!!"

"And what if you're separated?" Kurama asked thoughtfully.

"Well, I guess we're screwed then," Mizu laughed.

Refusing the offer for a ride, Mizu and VT hopped into the car ("Quick!!!! We must escape the wrath of any teachers and get into the treetree getaway car!" VT had said.) and sped away. The four walked almost in silence as they headed across the street to the park where they were to meet the Parkers.

The four easily found them as they had seen a photo of them. Mr. Parker had a mustache, and reminded Kuwabara and Yusuke of Mario, and Mrs. Parker was a cheery short woman with short curly hair.

"Konichiwa Shinzui, Chijin, Hinote, and Koujou," Mrs. Parker. "It's so nice to finally meet all of you."

"All of your things are back at the house, so unless there's something you need to do beforehand, hop in!" Mr. Parker said cheerily as he pointed to the rental van. The Parkers sat in front, Kurama and Hiei in the middle, so they could translate, and Kuwabara and Yusuke in the back.

"Hey guys, did I tell you what happened to Kuwabara in gym today?!" Yusuke said.

"Oh no you don't, Urameshi, you're not about to tell them that!" Kuwabara said, swinging a punch at him to keep him quiet. Yusuke easily dodged.

"What? Did the baka fall into the pool? Hiei said in Japanese.

"No, VT bounced a basketball off of his head," Yusuke said, still dodging his punches and smiling. Kurama hid a smile as he rolled his eyes and Hiei smirked.

"Should've known," he said.

"That reminds me," Mrs. Parker said, not understanding a word they were saying. She took out a box from in the front seat. "Your parents sent us these translators; just put them on your ears and you'll be able to speak and understand English," she said. She passed four of them to the back.

"Thank you, Mrs. Parker, but Hinote and I don't require these; we know enough English to get by on our own," Kurama said politely, passing two of them back to her and the other two back to the squabbling boys.

Although they looked curiously at it, they slipped them on.

"Testing, testing one two, do you read me, over," Kuwabara said.

"Loud and clear, over," Mr. Parker responded.

"Idiot," Yusuke said. "Hey, I meant that to be in Japanese!!"

"It seems this translator disallows you to use your native language," Kurama said as he examined the box they came in.

"Oh well isn't that just spiffy," Yusuke said sarcastically.

They reached the house and stepped out. It was a large white two story house that was very nice and well kept. There was even a porch with a glider.

As they stepped inside, Mrs. Parker said to them "the guest rooms are upstairs, but there are only two of them so you'll have to pair up. Your things are in the living room."

Yusuke and Kuwabara rushed upstairs, Kurama and Hiei following at their own pace. Yusuke went into the room on the right and said. "I call dibs on this one!!"

"Hn, baka," Hiei said as he veered to the left and threw the duffel bag that held his human clothing and his normal ones into the corner. He grabbed and changed into his usual black clothing. "Now where's Botan; I want my sword back."

"Here; I was getting tired of holding this anyway," came that bubbly voice once more as Botan tossed the katana at Hiei, who caught it. She hopped off her oar and landed in their room. "So how's it going?"

"Nothing's changed since you last showed up; but we did meet a rather odd student after school, not something I'd like t recount personally," Kurama said quietly, so the Parkers wouldn't hear.

"Hn, some baka ningen tried to kidnap Mizu, but those two ningens battered him around enough to make him leave them alone," Hiei said.

"Oh, yes, I remember watching that!" Botan exclaimed.

"Oh hey Botan," Yusuke said as he and Kuwabara walked past the room with their things.

"I'm going out," Hiei said as he opened the window. Kurama nodded in agreement with his idea of scouting the area and getting to know their way around. Hiei disappeared in a flash.

"How are those background checks coming?" Kurama asked as Yusuke and Kuwabara walked in.

"They're taking a little longer than we expected; apparently there isn't too much we can find on them," Botan sighed. "Maybe I should meet these girls..."

"Ok, let's see now..." Mizu said to herself as she sat on the hammock in her rainforest-like garden. Well, technically it was hers and VT's, since she had helped to make it AND it connected both of their backyards, seeing as they lived right next door to each other. Except for the occasional pop up from VT, it was Mizu's safe and quiet haven from the outside world. It was a 30 by 21 square foot plot of land surrounded on the borders by bamboo shoots, and in the middle of this area was a large and deep pond. On the bank of the pond, on the side that was in VT's backyard was a huge weeping willow that had been there when both of their parents had moved into their homes. The vine-branches of the willow draped themselves romantically like a curtain around the pond and the part of the bank that was closer to Mizu's backyard, providing a lot of shade. In order to enter this garden, you had to go through one of two entrances: either through an archway of bamboo on VT's side, which wound in an s pattern so that you wouldn't be able to see directly into the garden, or through a shorter bamboo archway on Mizu's side, which had a small wooden gate that came up to the waist. Outside of the willow's creeping branches was a pathway that went in a circle and connected to both of the entrances. On the side of the path, out of the way of foot-traffic and the willow, was a patch of soil where the two grew various herbs, flowers and such, depending on what time of the year it was; but VT was usually the one who took care of it, seeing as she seemed to have a green thumb for that type of thing.

The hammock was latched onto two metal poles, each of which had been overgrown with vines of sweet peas, so that the metal wouldn't disrupt the beauty of sanctuary from the real world. Next to the hammock was a small green lamp table, for when Mizu or VT wanted to place their laptop there or a drink. Mizu spent much more time in the haven than VT did; in fact, if Mizu wasn't in school, then that would most likely be the place she was at.

Mizu had no homework for that day, to her relief, and had decided to do a little research on the Japan exchange students. She started by going to an English to Japanese to English dictionary site, and typed in the name Koujou Kakuhan. But the search came up with nothing. So instead, Mizu tried the words one at a time. She put in Koujou and came up with several meanings. Some of them were siege, factory, speech, and friendship. On a pad of paper, Mizu wrote down some possibilities. Then she looked up Kakuhan. She wrote down a few of the meanings she found, and started to play around with them. When she finished ten minutes later, she had come up with some meanings: Siege Whip, Speech Beat, and Friendship Stir. Mizu raised an eyebrow, shrugged, and went onto another name.

This time she typed in Chijin. There were only a few meanings for this one, so she wrote down Fool. When she typed in Karuson, she was happy to find there was only one meaning: boy. 'So Chijin is Fool boy? Hmm, or maybe it's Idiot boy? That sounds better, I'll bet VT would love to start calling him baka boy' Mizu said to herself, and she gave a small chuckle before moving onto the next name.

Hiei hadn't gotten far when he noticed an out-of-place canopy that covered the back of two backyards. He jumped silently to a branch of a tree that covered most of the area, and found it odd that a weeping willow tree was growing in Southern California. He looked down through the branches and saw a young girl with hair he couldn't mistake belonging to anyone else but Mizu. He saw that she was pushing buttons on a flat something-or-other, and, curious, jumped from branch to branch to get a better look. When he did, he saw that it looked something close to that of those computers at the high school. He couldn't see what she was typing on that computer, so he used his Jagan eye to see more clearly. He almost fell when he saw his fake name being put onto the screen.

"Hinote...flames, blaze fire? Hmm..." Mizu said aloud. She typed in Reibai and found one meaning: Spirit Medium. "So Hinote's name means Fire Spirit Medium? Weird," Mizu said. So she moved on Shinzui Onmitsu.

"Hmmm, mystery, spirit, essence." She typed in Onmitsu when she got the peculiar feeling she was being watched. Mizu turned her head and looked behind her. Nothing. Her eyes turned towards the sky as she tried to see through the vines obstructing her view into the canopy. "What...huh? Something black was up there, but now it's gone??" Mizu put the laptop aside on the table and got up, parting the vines. There was nothing. Mizu frowned. She knew she had seen something up there, but what had it been?

'That was a little too close,' Hiei thought as he stood on the nearby rooftop. He hurried back towards the Parkers' house to tell the others what he had found.

"Ok, let's see, Onmitsu: spy, detective. Detective? Essence spy, no...Spirit Detect- SPIRIT DETECTIVE!?!?!? Ok, now this is just too creepy...I've gotta talk to VT," Mizu said. She jumped up, putting the laptop on the table, and darted towards VT's backdoor.

DUN DUN DUN!!!!!! Mizu has found out what their names mean...but has she figured out that they truly are the guys?? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!!!!!
