"Okay, so everything's planned. Tonight, when everyone is sleeping, we'll attack." "All weapons have been checked. Tonight, we hide our ki completely, then attack the enemy's camp." Marie said, taking the pencil with a fur ball on top. "Kurama," "Get ready to be cloned."
It was late in the afternoon. The Urameshi Team has just come back from a long and tiring practice. They looked around. Everything was so peaceful. "It's so silent, too silent." "Well, isn't that what anyone would want after a tiring day, some peace and quiet?" "I don't know about you guys but I'm going to get some sleep!" Yusuke and Kuwabara went into the cottage. "Where could those two girls be? They usually just fool around here." "I'll go ahead, Hiei. I need some rest. I suggest you do the same." Kurama went in the cottage and Hiei leaped away and disappeared among the trees.
Darkness came. At one in the morning, Ria and Marie sneaked out of Sakyo's building and crept silently into the Urameshi Cottage. They went into Kurama's room and Marie quickly but silently blew powder from the fur ball on the pencil to Kurama. "This thing is quite strong. Kurama is sure to stay asleep until we finish the cloning." "Good. Slip this on his head." Ria said, handing Marie a black headgear. This, Marie did while Ria took 1 cc of blood from Kurama. Ria opened a laptop computer and attached it to the headgear. She encoded several things on it and after a while, turned to Marie. "Everything's set. Stay here and monitor Kurama. I'll have to go back to the lab to do the major computations and conversions."
Ria opened the bedroom window and slipped out carrying a wire connected to the headgear. At the lab, she plugged the wire into a port in a huge computer. She put Kurama's blood on a glass slide and placed it in an opening in the computer. The computer zoomed in on the blood sample. Ria made the necessary chromosome changes, which took quite a while. "Yes! At last, this blood sample is ready for cloning." Ria was about to push the 'enter' button when she suddenly heard a voice, Sakyo's voice.
"What do you think you're doing?" Sakyo was standing by the door of the lab. "Uh, Boss! It's you!" "Who are you cloning?" "K-kurama?" "Are you sure you want to clone him? You already have the real thing." "I'm not cloning him for myself. I'm doing this for my best friend, Hiei. Kurama's clone will be my farewell gift to him. I'll be leaving him soon." Ria said, seriously with her eyes starting to get watery. "Okay. But just remember you and your sister are only allowed to clone three times. Got that? THREE TIMES." "I understand." "Very well, proceed." Sakyo left the lab. Ria pressed the 'enter' key.
"Marie, the cloning has been initiated. Has Kurama's memory been copied to the main computer?" Ria asked through her computer. "Almost. It is already 96 % done. I'll be there in a little while." Marie responded through the laptop. Ria saw that Kurama's blood floated to a huge cylindrical tube beside the computer. Inside the tube, which was filled with a strange liquid, the blood floated and formed into a fetus. After some time, Marie came in. "So, how's it going?" "It's alright." Now, the fetus looked like a newborn baby. "She's so cute!" "Are you done with copying Kurama's memory?" "Yup!" "Did you keep everything?" "Yes!" "You sure you didn't leave the wires or anything there? He might find out." "Don't worry, all those stuff have been kept."
An hour passed. The clone already looked like a twelve-year old child. "I'm hungry." Then, Sakyo came in. "I just thought you guys would like some midnight snack. I brought some for your clone too." Sakyo said, carrying a tray with a glass of wine, three glasses of cola and three hamburgers. "You're just in time! Oh, wine!" Marie said, reaching for the glass of wine. Sakyo hit Marie's hand. "That's for me." "Thanks Boss!" "Well, I'll be going now. I just want to remind you, your clone doesn't have any clothes." Sakyo told them. "You're right!" "Boss, is it alright if you--" "Don't even think about it! Kurama is a female. My clothes won't fit." "I wasn't gonna ask you to lend Kurama some clothes." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah. I just asked if it's alright if you… You… Um, you… Tell me if you have a good dream. Yeah, that's right!" "Well, anyway, goodnight." Sakyo kissed the two girls on their foreheads and left.
"What gave you the idea of asking Sakyo to lend Kurama his clothes?" "Our clothes won't fit. He's… She's taller than us." "I think we should go back to Kurama's room and get some clothes there." "I'll go!" "You'd better hurry. The cloning is almost finished." "No problem." Marie said and went out. The clone was already finished. "Cloning is finished. Draining fluid, now." The computer said and the liquid inside the cylindrical tube was drained. The Kurama clone opened her eyes and touched the tube. She noticed that she had long nails. The door opened and Marie went in carrying Kurama's yellow fighting outfit. "Am I late?" "No, you're just in time." The tube opened and the Kurama clone stepped out. "Marie, Ria, where am I?" "It's a success!" "Kurama, you're in our lab." "What am I doing here?" "We cloned you." "Really? Where's my clone? Why is my hair and nails very long? And where are my clothes?" "You're the clone."
"What?! Why?" "Here put this on. We'll be right back." Marie handed the clothes to the Kurama clone. The two girls left. After a while, Marie and Ria came back and saw the Kurama clone looking around the lab. "You look good on those clothes, Kurama-chan. Please have a seat." Kurama sat down on a chair and Ria started cutting her hair while Marie tended to her nails. "We cloned you because I wanted to give you to Hiei. We had a little misunderstanding and Hiei got mad at me. I wanted to leave him alone but there would be no one to take care of him. Kurama-kun was the only one who could take care of him but he had a family. I decided to clone you and give you to Hiei so that you could take care of him." "But I have a family, too." "But your family doesn't even know you exist. They didn't know that we cloned Kurama-kun." "Oh! Right."
"I cloned you so that Karasu could have you as a girlfriend. He doesn't understand how I feel about Kurama-kun. I want to make him understand how it feels to be in love. And what other way to do that than to give him someone to love for himself." "K-karasu? He'll blow me up." "He won't. We fixed his brain." Then, Kurama's stomach rumbled. "Hungry?" "I guess so." "Here." Marie Handed Kurama-chan a hamburger. The three ate their hamburger and drank their cola. After eating, Marie and Ria led Kurama to a room in Sakyo's building. "This is the guest room. You could sleep here." Kurama went in and the two girls left.
In Sakyo's room, Sakyo was half-asleep. Then, he felt something move under his blanket. Marie's head popped up from the blanket. "Marie! What are you doing here?" "It's cold in my room." Sakyo turned to the other side of the bed and Ria's head popped up from the blanket. "Boss, it's cold." "How am I going to get some sleep?!" The two girls and Sakyo soon, fell asleep.
At around five in the morning, in the Urameshi Team's cottage, "Where are my clothes?" Kurama went to Yusuke's bedroom and saw Yusuke and Kuwabara talking there. "Yusuke, have you seen my yellow fighting outfit?" "No." "Kuwabara?" "No. Maybe it's still wet in the clothes line." "I put it inside my closet last night. I was going to wear it today." Kurama noticed Hiei on the window. "Hiei have you seen my fighting outfit? The yellow one." "The on you wore during the Ankoku? "Yes." "No."
Hiei left and went to the forest. He saw Kurama-chan walking. "Good morning, Hiei." Hiei was stunned to see her. He saw that Kurama was a little shorter, has bigger breasts, and smaller waist. "You're… You're…" Then, Hiei fainted. "Hiei! Hiei! Are you alright?" Marie and Ria came running to Kurama-chan. "Now you've done it." The two girls heard Kurama-kun coming. "We'd better go." The two girls and Kurama-chan left. When Hiei woke up, "Kurama!" Hiei saw that he was in Kurama's room. He looked around for Kurama. "Yes, Hiei?" Kurama sat next to Hiei. Hiei jumped up and circled Kurama. "Y-you're a guy." Hiei said, touching Kurama's chest. "Of course I'm a guy. I've always been a guy. Except for some versions of Yu Yu Hakusho. But I'm still a guy." "You found your yellow outfit?" "No, it's still missing." "That's impossible. You just wore it a while ago." "You fainted because I found my favorite fighting outfit?" "No! You were wearing your yellow outfit and you were a girl!"
"Hiei, you were dreaming." "I was not! I was wide awake!" "Maybe you were hallucinating." "I know what I saw, Kurama." "Maybe you were half-asleep. And you saw Ria. She always wears yellow." "Her ki was just like yours." "Maybe it was Marie. Maybe she wore a wig or something and made her ki just like mine. Maybe she was the one who took my clothes." "What is she going to do with your clothes?" "Fool you? She knows that you would faint. You know how happy she is when something happens to you." "I tell you, it's not those two girls." "Anyway, it's almost six o'clock. We're supposed to be at the clearing in the forest. Marie and Ria are cooking breakfast. You coming? They also said that they have a surprise for us." "Alright."
Meanwhile, at the clearing, in the forest, Marie was making some hot chocolate, Ria was frying eggs, and Kurama-chan, who hid her hair under a baker's hat, was cooking barbecue. "Ah! This is great! The air is fresh, the food smells good and I saw Hiei faint. This day is gonna be one of the best." Then, one by one, the members of the Toguro Team and the Urameshi Team came. Marie, Ria and Kurama-chan disappeared behind the trees. Ria came back carrying a long table and set it down on the ground. Marie appeared with two benches, which was as long as the table and set them down beside the table. The two put a tablecloth on the table. They put six plates on one side of the table and seven on the other. Ria and Marie put the food in the middle of the table.
"Before you guys have your breakfast, we would like you to meet someone." "We would like to introduce…" "Kurama-chan!" Kurama-chan came out from behind the trees. Everyone looked stunned. "She's the one I was telling you about, Kurama." Hiei said, tugging on Kurama's sleeve. Kurama-kun's mouth dropped open. "Kurama, it's you! But it's a female." Kurama-chan looked at Hiei. "Hi, Hiei!" Hiei was speechless. He didn't move. "Alright everyone, you could have your breakfast now." Everyone sat down and started eating. Hiei and Karasu kept looking at Kurama-chan. "Uh, could you guys stop staring at me?" Kurama-chan told Karasu and Hiei. "Hiei, do you like my creation?" "OUR creation, Marie." "Right, ours. Well, do you like our creation Hiei? You keep looking at her." "Hn!"
"Oh, Marie! Kurama-chan is your creation?" "Yes. I thought you hated me." "No, I don't." "Yes, you do. You said you don't like me anymore because I like Kurama-kun." "You took that seriously?" "You were serious." "You know I was kidding. You'll always be my best friend." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah." "I think you're saying that because you like Kurama-chan and you're using me to get near her. Right?" "Well… Um… yes?" "I knew it." "Oh, come on, Marie. I'm sorry. Really." "Oh, alright. Friends?" "Best friends!" Marie and Karasu smiled while shaking each other's hands. "So, Marie, did you cook breakfast?" "Me, my sister and Kurama-chan." Karasu ate a piece of egg. "Oh, Kurama! This egg is delicious." Karasu told Kurama-chan. "I cooked the egg. Kurama-chan cooked the barbecue." Karasu spit out the piece of egg that he ate. "Yuck!" "Oh, come on, Karasu. She only put poison there." "I just lost my appetite." "It's a joke."
"Please pass the barbecue." Bui passed Karasu a tray, which was full of barbecue. "Yum! This is good!" Karasu said biting a piece of barbecue. "Marie, this is great!" Karasu told Marie, taking a sip of hot chocolate. Everyone finished their breakfast and rested for a while. After thirty minutes of resting, they started practicing.
During the practice, Kurabara was fighting with Kurama while Yusuke was fighting with Hiei. Genkai was watching them and behind her stood Kurama-chan. "May I replace any of you?" Kurama-chan asked. They all stopped and looked at Kurama-chan. "You?" They all asked. "Yeah. I'm a member of this team, too, am I not?" Kurama-chan replied. "Um, would anyone of you want to fight with her?" "I would!" Ria said, popping out of nowhere. "Since when did you become part of our team?" "Since now? I come highly recommended." So, the practice went on. The outcome of the fights is:
O-Yusuke X-Hiei
X-Kuwabara O-Kurama
X-Kurama-chan O-Ria
"Okay, I challenge you, Yusuke! Is it okay?" "Of course, it is! This will be a piece of cake!" "Alright!" "Mind if I pick you for the next fight, Kuwabara?" Kurama-kun asked. "No problem!" "That leaves the female Kurama and Hiei." And so, it goes on. Thirty seconds passed and one pair is done. "Aahhh!" "I win!" Yusuke lay unconscious on the ground. After a while, Kurama and Kuwabara ends their fight with Kurama as victor. Hiei and Kurama-chan still continues. "Hiei's holding back." "You two must do better than that!" Hiei increased his powers. "It's time to change to Youko. I wonder how I look as Youko." Kurama-chan thought. She tried to make the transformation but it didn't work. "It didn't work!" Kurama-chan thought. She summoned a plant that ate Hiei up but Hiei easily managed to blast himself out using his Black Dragon Spirit (Ensatsu Kokuryuha). This hit Kurama-chan and knocked her out, unconscious. Hiei, as usual, fell asleep afterwards.
"Why didn't she change to Youko? I know I would." Kurama-kun said. "Oops! I forgot to tell her! I only cloned the Shuichi Minamino part of Kurama. Youko was not included." "W-why didn't you say so? Ow, my head hurts." Kurama-chan said, regaining consciousness. "Sorry. The clone has weaker powers than the original."
That afternoon, Kurama-chan was sitting alone on a cliff. Everything was so peaceful and quiet. All of a sudden, "Ah! Kurama-chan!" Karasu suddenly popped out of nowhere and hugged Kurama-chan tightly. "K-karasu! Let me go!" "You know, Kurama-chan, your neck is so… beautiful. And you know very well that I like blowing up things I find beautiful. So, if you don't want your head to fly, behave." "Help me!"
And so, the days went by. The week was almost over. Karasu spent most of his spare time chasing the two Kuramas or being left out by everyone. "Hey! That's not true! I was thinking, okay?"
