RECAP:
She giggled and he chuckled at their clumsiness. Their eyes were locked in another link. One that they were unable to escape. On instinct, they both leaned forward. Both silently praying for no interruption, their lips met in a soft, tender, long-awaited, kiss.

Fire rushed between them as the kiss became more passionate. His tongue more than asked, it begged for entrance. Her mouth was kind at letting him in to explore the depths of her mouth, which no other had been allowed admission. His left hand snaked its way under her as the right played with her long, brown and green hair. Her hands were both running their way through his own thick, brown locks.

Both were too busy to see the shadow move outside the window, let alone, sense it. Only when the shrieks of Leala and Larissa sounded, did they realize that danger was surrounding the little hut in the woods.

END RECAP:

It then fully registered to Nazomi what was going on. She pushed him away, mentally kicking herself for how close she let him get. Another scream sounded, reminding Nazomi that her friends were in danger. She flew to the door and flung it open.

Running down the hall, she saw Liam hiding behind the sofa, which had been flipped over. He looked at her with a terrified expression.

"Nazomi! The squirrels... You were right!" Nazomi raised an eyebrow. 'Strange... I seriously thought that the whole squirrel thing was just an act Bunny and I put on...' Seeing movement out of the corner of her eye, Nazomi turned to look at Koenma.

"Watch the baby." She pointed to Liam and walked off. Koenma caught Liam's priceless expression of Just-Because-I'm-Cute-Doesn't-Mean-I'm-A-Baby.

Nazomi walked out the front door and gazed out into the green trees. There was nothing but silence. Not even one bird was chirping until...

BOOM!! BOOM BOOM!!! BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM!!!!!!!

Flocks of birds shot out of the trees, chirping for their life. They swarmed into the bright, blue sky and out of sight. Suddenly evil laughter sounded from the west, where the sun would set in a few hours. Nazomi turned to see Leala with a giant slingshot, ready to fire another fireball at a being that was ten times smaller than she.

"DIE YOU SONNOFA-AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Surprisingly, the squirrel was an equal match for Leala as it jumped her. Leala's arms flailed around, trying to throw the tiny, furry animal from her. Another squirrel appeared out of nowhere, then another, and another. More and more came as soon as they realized the bunny had fallen.

Before Nazomi could do anything, Larissa swooped down on a giant Michi. The kitsune threw her sword like a boomerang. The sword was coated with wind magic, most was from Larissa's family, but Nazomi had recharged it a year ago, just to make sure it was in tip-top shape. The magic created mini tornadoes, sending the squirrels in every direction. Thankfully, the tornadoes were small enough to not pick up Leala. The bunny was still flinging her body around when Nazomi ran up to her.

"Bunny, it's okay! They're off of you! It's okay!" Nazomi grasped her friend's shoulders in an attempt to calm her down. It worked after a short while. Leala was up off the ground in no time and ready to fight some more. No stupid, cute, fuzzy animal was going to bring her down.

The bunny walked dead up to a squirrel and bent down, meeting it eye to eye. The squirrel was sitting on Leala's favorite stone. Leala had dubbed the stone Ted. Why Ted... We may never know. The squirrel showed its teeth and she smacked it across the face. The squirrel looked up at Leala, horrified. Tears started to well up in its eyes. Leala started to fall into the deep, black depths of its round orbs... just why did she have to smack it? This squirrel hadn't done anything wrong... Except sit on her FAVORITE STONE!!! Then suddenly everything changed. Bunny was pulled out of the squirrel's gaze just in time. The squirrel gave Bunny an evil glare and flew himself onto her face.

"I'MGONNADIEI'MGONNADIEI'MGONNADIE!!!!!!" Were the brilliant words out of Leala's mouth as she tried to bat the squirrel away. The squirrel bit her forehead. The searing pain would have made a grown man fall... or maybe just a small child. But nothing could stop a bunny on a rampage. Leala grabbed the squirrel and flung it into the nearest tree.

Liam and Koenma ran out of the tiny home after seeing Leala's ordeal through the window. Nazomi rushed to Leala. Creating a pale white circle in her palm, Nazomi proceeded to cover her friend's forehead with the glowing light. Nazomi pushed the light into Leala's forehead until flesh met flesh. Once Nazomi's hand was taken off the bunny's forehead, the mark the squirrel had given her was gone.

"Girls, watch out!" Liam yelled. The girls turned to face the squirrel thrown against the tree. Crimson ran down his brown fur as it started back at Leala.

"No bitchy squirrel is going to hurt MY BUNNY!" Nazomi kicked the squirrel as far as she could back into the woods. "I pray I will never have to do that again in my life."

"Oh my Goddess... The tree-hugging hippie kicked a squirrel!" Leala squealed and threw her arms around Nazomi. "I'm so proud of you!"

"What? You're the tree-hugging hippie!" Nazomi countered back, pushing Leala away.

"Actually, you both are. I on the other hand, would really like to destroy the trees so I don't have to listen to those god damned birds every friggin' morning!" Larissa yelled from the air. She was seated on Michi, who was hovering over them all. A vein seemed to be popping out of her head. From what they could tell, Larissa had a bad encounter with birds a long time ago. They never really questioned and they were never really told.

"How are these demons getting into the barrier?" Liam questioned.

"Good question. I'd like to know that myself." Nazomi stated.

"Well, whatever we do, we better do it quick. I sense a badger and those demons can get pretty big." Larissa called down. Nazomi had to make a decision.

"'Kay, plan! Bunny and Koenma with me. Liam," Nazomi turned to face Liam, "Don't let Larissa kill you when you help her. Obey her every command and you shall keep your happy place for another day." Liam's face went pale as he crossed his legs. "Carry on!"

Nazomi led Bunny and Koenma toward a hidden path. Little stones were placed into the ground, leading the way, deeper into the wood. Nazomi knew exactly where she was going. To be honest, she only kept the stones there for decoration. After a few minutes, they arrived at a tiny clearing. In the center, two large, slender stones were placed vertically.

Nazomi walked right in between the rocks. A force stopped her, though.

"That's odd..."

"What's odd?" Koenma asked.

"This barrier is here to keep people out... not people in." Nazomi explained as she pushed against the barrier. "Only someone stronger than me could have reversed it..."

"Well no shit, sherlock!" Bunny exclaimed. "If they were weaker than you, they wouldn't have walked on in here in the first place!"

"Bite me, bitch." Nazomi glared at her friend, all the while, still pushing on the barrier.

"Slut."

"Whore."

"Skank."

"Sla nk!" Nazomi's word puzzled Koenma, but he decided to ask later.

"Slore!"

Nazomi suddenly fell through the barrier...

~!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!~

"Damn it! Squirrels are supposed to be nature's speed bumps! Why aren't cars performing their sacred duty?!" Larissa exclaimed after meeting another caravan of squirrels. Liam stopped suddenly and gave Larissa a funny look. "What?"

"We are currently in the middle of the woods... Last time I checked, there were no cars out here."

"Shut up before I cut off your happy place!!!!" Liam's face went pale, once again. He didn't cross his legs until he saw the large shadow that suddenly fell over them....

~!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!~

BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP---CLANK!

Yes, just as Botan had gotten to the best part in her dream, the damn alarm clock roared to life. After her hand smacked it for all it was worth, she sat up and glared. She wasn't in a good mood. Anyone could tell you that. Her hair was a mess, the bags under her eyes were huge, no one had seen her boss in three days, and she hurt her hand hitting the alarm clock. Most importantly (Or worse...), she was supposed to see Kurama today for lunch. Poor Botan...

She glanced at her clock which read 11:37 am. She had been up until 5 am trying to help the other girls ferry souls. Everything was chaos with Koenma missing. King Enma, fearing the worst, recently sent men into Makai to try and find his son.

Falling back on her bed, Botan closed her eyes. Hearing a knock on the door made her groan. She did not want to get up in fear of another ferry girl asking for assistance. She opened one eye to check the time. 12:37 pm.

Her other eye shot open when she realized the time. She was supposed to meet Kurama twenty-two minutes ago in the lobby.

"Botan! It's Kurama." Not caring what she looked like, Botan shot out of bed and toward the door. Once the door was opened, Kurama gave a chuckle. "Did you forget we had a lunch date?"

'Date...? Did she just hear him correctly? Wait! He probably didn't mean date-date. Just a date... right?'

"N-No. I just fell asleep...again..."

"Would you like to resched-"

"No! Kurama, why would I do that when it'll only take me two minutes to get ready?" She asked. Kurama shrugged his shoulders. "Would you like to come in?" She moved out of the doorway, allowing him entrance to her Spirit World apartment.

It was just a one-room apartment. The Jade bed was against the far powder-pink wall. A black trunk was at the end of the bed. Against the adjacent wall was a simple bookshelf and a black chair. The kitchen was petite, just a refrigerator, a stove, a small counter, and a sink. The other wall was blocked by cubed glass blocks, which served as a barrier for the bathroom. Botan's colors were unique. Kurama would never have guessed Botan as the type of girl for a pink and green room... of course, he never really thought of her room... much...[ohhhoho! A naughty fox we have, here! =wink wink=]

Botan grabbed a simple, black dress out of the trunk and made her way to the bathroom.

"Feel free to make yourself at home. I know it's not much, but at least it's free. All of the ferry girls live here at no cost."

"I thought you weren't a ferry girl anymore." Kurama stated.

"I'm not. I'm Yusuke's assistant. Koenma just wants someone here in case something urgent comes up." She told him as she walked out of the bathroom. The dress had a v-neck, showing off a respectable amount of cleavage and it hugged her curves. Her hair was left down. Obviously because she was trying to impress Kurama. She had a light amount of make-up on because, once again, she was obviously trying to impress Kurama.

He smiled at her. She would never know how much he cared for her. 'I'm surprised she still wanted to go out for lunch. After all, she seems to be attached to Koenma and he is missing...'

"Are you ready to go?" He politely asked. When he offered her his arm, she blushed and accepted. Kurama led her outside and to the Human World. There was a specific reason he had made plans on this specific day.

~!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!~

Koenma rushed over to Nazomi, only to ram head on into the barrier. She was on the other side. How? She had no idea. But to confirm her idea that things could enter the barrier and not leave, Nazomi stuck her hand into the forcefield. It slid through perfectly.

"That was easy..." She tried to pull back, but it wouldn't let her. "Okay, this'll get annoying fast..."

"You need to stop talking to yourself." Leala told her. "People might start to think."

"And how many people wander through these woods?" Nazomi countered back, trying to pull her arm out of the barrier. Koenma was trying to help her without hurting her attached limb.

"Apparently a lot since the barrier went orange." Leala responded. There was a silence. Suddenly three pairs of eyes grew wide.

"That's it! Something must have collided with the barrier earlier, causing it to spark orange... causing the reversal!" Nazomi reasoned. All attempts to free her hand were set aside.

"Wait! Orange sparks shot out of my Maffuken earlier." Koenma added his bit of information.

"Spirit energy is stronger than my energy."

"So Koenma is the reason the evil squirrel attacked my face?" Leala asked.

"No, that was your doing." Nazomi told her. Her hand had been stuck in an upright position for awhile now, but no one seemed to notice for some apparent reason...

"It wasn't my fault. If he hadn't been standing on Ted everything would have been fine!"

"Ted wasn't even apart of this when you walked up to the squirrel."

"Yes he was!"

"Actually, he wasn't. If you refer back to that paragraph, no mention of Ted was made until after you walked up to the squirrel." Koenma added in his two cents.

"Well you can shut up, Mr. Iknoweverything." The bunny materialized a frying pan and whacked Koenma over the head with it. Koenma fell to the floor, unconscious.

"Great... Now we won't know how to reverse this thing..." Just then Nazomi (finally) realized that her hand was dangling in midair. She glared at it.

"Maybe if I just find that Maffulklabibble we could throw it at the barrier and it will reverse..." Leala pondered. Nazomi's eyes went wide.

"My god... Bunny does have a brain!" Leala smiled.

"Yes, unlike you."

"I am very open minded." Nazomi smiled at her friend. [1] "Now find that damn Maffulklabibble and get my hand outta here."

Leala searched Koenma's robes. Suddenly, she found the pacifier (the only thing in his pockets) and pulled it out, giving it an odd look.

"His pacifier is the Maffuklabibble?" Nazomi questioned out loud. "That would explain a lot..."

Leala materialized a sling-shot. She pulled the Maffuken back with the stretchy bands...

~!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!~

The giant badger demon was dead, thanks to Liam, even though he was told to stay out of the fight. Larissa had given a good struggle, but the badger seemed to be too much after the 50 packs of squirrels. When she fell, the badger was already greatly weakened. While the badger was focused on Larissa (and with the help of Michi) Liam flew behind the large demon and sent a flamed arrow at the back of his head, killing him instantly.

Michi flew Liam down to Larissa. There was a large slice in her leg and shoulder blade where the demon had cut her with his claws. Crimson was spilled in a large patch under her frame. There were bite marks all over her body from the squirrels. Liam was lucky, if Larissa hadn't told him to stay out of the fight with the badger, it could've been him on the ground.

Liam carefully lifted Larissa's body onto Michi. All he had to do was stop the bleeding until Nazomi and Leala got back. It couldn't be that hard... could it?

~!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!~

Orange static rippled out from the pacifier as it collided with the barrier. Nazomi flew forward to the dirty ground. Standing up, she brushed off the clump of dirt on her white dress. She approached the hindrance. Slowly, she moved her hand toward the barrier...

~!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!~

"YUSUKE!!!!!!!!!! " Keiko screamed from upstairs. Everyone in the Ramen shop stopped eating, wanting to see another entertaining fight between the lovebirds.

Keiko ran down the staircase, almost tripping. She spotted Yusuke quietly tip-toeing toward the door. Before he knew it, Keiko was on his back... literally.

"Yusuke! Guess what?!" Yusuke's hand went directly up to the ear Keiko had just yelled into.

"W-What?" Yusuke was very confused at his wife's antics. He let her slide down his back and turned to face her. "What's goin' on?"

"I'm pregnant!" Keiko beamed.

~!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!~

Kay, I gave it a try! Review and tell me how you like it.

REMINDER: Flames would be greatly appreciated in a personal message or an e-mail.

A lot has been going on in my life right now. I am sorry for keeping this on hiatus for a VERY long time, but isn't that what hiatus means? That you're not going to be writing in this for a long time? Anyway, I'm working on some personality issues and stuff. I figured getting back to the way things were (like posting something every week...or at least once a month, a weekly meeting with my friends, and adding things to my quotes page everyday) might help me. I don't know, but we'll see.

Important: I've changed some things, look at my profile and all the information is there. I just wanted everyone to know so they don't get lost as I continue with this story.

I now have that open office thing that was posted on ff.net. Its really helped with my spell check. I still don't have grammar check though... oh well, I'll bear with it.

I thank you all, especially those reviewers. You all mean a lot.
