[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
All around Mitsukai no Awai's room are feathers from a certain pillow fight.

Mitsukai: *twirls around on her bed and falls off* Oww...Wow! Look at the pretty lights! *seeing lights since she's so dizzy*

Hiei: Hn. Mitsukai no Awai doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho. If she did, she would probably put Gwenevere in it.

Mitsukai, very hyper after eating some sweet snow, jumps on her bed until she can't feel her legs. Kurama grabs Mitsukai and ties her to the computer chair. She looks around very quickly.

Kurama: Come on, Mitsukai. You gotta write the eighth chapter of Two Hearts, Two Minds, One Soul for your faithful reviewers and readers.

Mitsukai: Fine...I want my sweet snow after this!

Kurama and Hiei: NO!

Mitsukai: ;_; *pouts while starting to type*

Hiei: Now R&R before I kill you.

The Perfect Team

Gwen got out of the shower and went into her room with only a towel on.

"Now... What to wear to bed...?" Gwen looked as she threw clothes around to look for her favorite bed clothes: a spagetti strapped pink tank top that read 'Angel', light blue sweats, and white ankle socks. She found them, got dressed and walked to her vanity to brush her damp hair.

A week had passed since Yusuke had become Genkai's apprentice, and he was still training. (HAHA! Sorry, you guys may continue reading... *being threatened by Hiei and his katana* FINE! I'LL TYPE! POINT THAT THING SOMEWHERE ELSE!) Gwen turned on her stereo to Avril Lavigne's "Naked." (don't own...) She also sang along as she sat back down to brush her shoulder length hair.

After the song ended, she turned off the stereo and walked toward her window, finishing brushing her hair. She put the brush down, and opened the window. Her gaze landed on the rather large tree in front of her window.

"Hiei, I know you're here," she said softly. She heard a rustle and smiled a tiny smile. "I know you have been watching me ever since I got back to life. I don't know why, but I knew."

Hiei jumped down to a branch eye level to the window. Gwen kept that smile, somehow feeling safe when around him.

"Why are you watching me?" she asked.

"Hn," Hiei said as he looked away from her. "I just wanted to see why Kurama likes you so much."

"Did you find out why?"

He didn't answer, but Gwen didn't expect one. She crawled out of the window, and sat on the branch beside him. He kept an eye on her as she looked up at the starry sky.

"I have no clue why he likes me either."

Hiei looked a little shocked, but she kept looking at the sky. "Everyone would stay away from me because of how different I am from them. Kurama saw that and likes me anyway. Maybe that's why he likes me," Gwen said as she swung her legs back and forth.

She then looked at him. "So you have a Jagan eye?" He nodded and took off the bandana to let her see his eye.

"It's pretty cool," she said as he put his bandana back on. "I'm just glad I'm not ordinary, or else I'll be insane if I looked at it," she giggled. He noticed that she still has the necklace he gave her, all those years ago. She noticed his staring, and fingered her necklace. "It's funny, I don't remember anything about my mother or who gave me this necklace."

But Hiei knew. He had read her mind with the Jagan after she returned to life, but it had only been for confirmation.

Gwen looked at him. "Would you like to be my friend, Hiei?"

Hiei smirked. "Would you like to be a friend of a convicted felon?"

Gwen smiled and replied, "Actually, I am a friend of Kurama's. And he's a thief, isn't he?"

"Hn. Since you're a friend of the kitsune, it wouldn't hurt, I suppose."

Gwen said, "Thanks, Hiei." She went into her room and went to bed.

Hiei stayed and fell asleep on that tree branch.

^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^

Six months had passed since Gwen's last mission, and Gwen had been giving occassional visits to Genkai and Yusuke. Her friendships with Kurama and Hiei had grown, and she hung out with them almost everyday. Gwen and Hiei usually sat out on the tree when the weather was right, and if it was raining, she would sit on the windowsill and they would just talk. They usually talked about demons and such topics as fighting techniques. And sometimes, they would just enjoy each other's company.

One day, Gwen came home from school, and dragged her bag upstairs. She heard a knock on the door, but ignored it as she threw her bag onto her bed.

"GWENEVERE! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!"

Gwen sighed. "What did I do this time?" She sulked down the stairs, but cheered up almost instantly once she saw Hiei and Kurama. She ran down the stairs and stood next to her father.

"Yes?" Gwen asked as innocently as possible. She acted like this whenever her dad was drunk, and he seriously was drunk.

"Gwenevere...hic...what did I...hic...tell you about bringing...hic...strange boys into my house...hic...?"

"Umm...you let Suiichi in..."

"Because I know him...hic... I have never met this 'shorty' before...hic..." Kurama and Gwen glanced at Hiei very nervously. They could easily see he was refraining with some effort from slicing Gwen's dad to pieces.

"Well, now you have. This is Hiei Jaganshi," Gwen said, giving Hiei a last name on the fly as she indicated him to her drunken father. "Now could you move so my friends could get in?" 'You lazy drunken ass of a father,' she added, but didn't say it out loud.

SMACK!

Kurama and Hiei stood there, shocked, as Gwen was slapped by her father. Gwen looked at her dad emotionlessly as she held her cheek. Her father then went out.

"Come on..." Gwen said monotonously as she walked to her room. Kurama and Hiei followed.

"I've never seen your father hit you before," Kurama said, leaning against the wall as they entered her room. Gwen jumped on the bed and laid on her stomach. Hiei sat on the windowsill and nodded.

"Well, he only does when he's seriously drunk, and when my big mouth makes any smart remarks," she said as her kitten, Carnation, woke up from her nap.

~You have a mission with Yusuke. And Hiei and Kurama are needed,~ Carnation thought to Gwen.

"Cool, so what's this mission 'bout?"

Carnation sat on Gwen's shoulder and used her antennae to create a picture on the floor. It showed a castle.

~Maze Castle. You guys have to beat the Four Saint Beasts who live in this castle. They possess the Makai Whistle which control the Makai Insects, and the Insects control people to do horrendous things for the thoughts of power and greed. Defeat the Saint Beasts and destroy the Whistle. That's your objective,~ Carnation explained.

"But why did the Saint Beasts send out the Makai Insects?" Kurama asked as Carnation faded the picture of Maze Castle.

~Because they want to get pass their barrier around the City of Ghosts and Apparitions, where they live. They sent a proposal to Koenma in the Reikai, and of course, Koenma didn't accept because if he did, the demons would cause chaos and death. So he wants all of you to go immediately. Botan has to stay here to get rid of the insects, but she can't beat them all.~

"So how will we get there?" Hiei asked.

~There will be a breach in the barrier that will let you through safely in a warehouse two blocks from here. You'll find it, I'm sure. Good luck to you all.~ With that, Carnation floated off Gwen's shoulder and floated outside, presumably to help Botan.

The three friends walked out of the house and went to the same warehouse Yusuke and Kuwabara had gone to, so to try to find the breach in the barrier.

Gwen jumped in first, followed by Hiei and Kurama. They landed safely on a tree, scaring hundreds of Fungaki demons who were attacking Yusuke and Kuwabara. Gwen sat down between her friends, holding onto the branch as her campanions were standing.

"Ha! They really need help. I bet they wouldn't be able to get to the gate," Hiei said.

"I agree," Gwen replied lazily.

Lightning flashed, illuminating Hiei, Gwen, and Kurama. They jumped down and landed on their feet with ease.

"So, the Spirit Detective and the thieves," Yusuke said.

Gwen smiled and waved. "Had a nice training session?"

Yusuke laughed. "Oh, yeah...the best!" The two shared a laugh.

Yusuke looked at Kuwabara. "Oh, right. Let me introduce you guys to Kuwabara. This is Gwenevere and Kurama. And that is Hiei." He indicated each of them as he said their names.

Kuwabara looked at Gwen and ran up to her. "Gwenevere..."

Gwen looked at him, puzzled. "Yeah...?"

"I think we would be a great couple," he said, holding her hands. "Gwenevere and the great Kuwabara Kazuma!"

Everyone anime fell except Gwen and Kuwabara.

Gwen's eye twitched and yelled, "Yeah right! I would never go out with you even if my life depended on it!"

Kuwabara asked, "Does that mean you say no?"

"DUH!"

Yusuke laughed his head off and Kurama smiled as Hiei smirked. She took her hands out of his hold and crossed her arms.

"Anyway, it is good to get a helping hand," Kuwabara said.

"Hn. We are only here because of orders. As far as I'm concerned, we're babysitting," Hiei snapped.

"That wasn't nice." Kuwabara tried punching him, but Hiei used his speed and stepped forward, making Kuwabara fall.

"But, you're different, Detective. I still remember our fight. I still plan to take my revenge on you."

"Hey! Anytime, Three Eyes," Yusuke said, holding a fist while grinning.

"Trying to ignore me..." Kuwabara mumbled as he tried hitting Hiei again, but Hiei stepped back, making Kuwabara fall again.

"Well, isn't this the perfect team, or what?" Yusuke proclaimed.

Hiei looked away. "Hn."

"Let's begin, shall we?" Kurama asked. They walked toward the gate of Maze Castle.

Meanwhile, in the Castle, the Four Saint Beasts have doubts as to whether their "guests" would successfully pass the front gate, already immersed in their squabbling as they were.

^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^

Mitsukai: Weeeeee! *spins around on the computer chair*

Kurama and Hiei sigh as Mitsukai gets crazier and crazier.

Mitsukai: Well! Let me know what ya think about this chappie! Review! *winks and gives out a peace sign to her faithful readers and Reviewers*
