There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Pulsing through my veins
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
She calls my name,
Pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes
There she goes

Sixpence none the richer - There she goes

"I can't believe I have to drag you here Narumi - there's nothing here for you y'know - what happened if you go into heat huh? I'm not going to be responsible for a half-breed humping some hobo ok?"

It's raining, and we've just got off the bus (I have passed my test but I kinda need a job to buy a car). My half-sister finny enough, just happens to be Panther Demoness, well a half-breed to that. She's a bit grouchy because like most felines; she hates the water.

"I maybe coming to 15 soon sis but I'm positive that I can control my own heat"

"Ow! There's no need to whack me with the newspaper though!"

"Find.Job.Now...and don't throw me into the dog pound please? Me no like dogs"

"/ growls / I only DID that because you were coughing up hair balls and we were walking past some tourists! I'll find a job later. Now, we have to find a ROOF over our heads"

I...Have a headache... Oh! I forgot to tell you, My appearance has well..changed...blame my step-mother and her stylist gurus / sweatdrops/ . My hair is still dark brown but it's wayyy longer (wavy too) and it's a bastard to brush ok? So I've shoved it into a lowish pony tail.

Clothes have changed - more feminie but I still have a few pair of jeans stashed in my suit case (along with my training kit).

My younger sister is older, prettier and far more slender than I. No fair. She's more of a unruly/rebellious dressed person -/ rolls her eyes/ ooooh yeah go 'Pink Kitty' T-shirt. Her bangs and curls have been stylised to that of Chun-li from that game she plays at week-ends - Street fighter.

I beat her every time / cackles evilly/

"Uhhh...Mina? We're getting soaked here...hello?" she waved her hand in front of me."Earth to Mina! Mina men are starting to get nosebleeds now..."

Quickly nabbing the bags in a rush, babbling at the same time because not only were the clothes thin materials, but we got splashed by a passing car (which crashed into the bank) uh...free money anyone?

"Ack! Sorry sis, I thought I saw...someone I recognized... c'mon, we can't be dawdling about - we'll catch flu. Now where did she say her house was...?" I flicked my hand open "Narumi? Pass me the map"

She became nervous all of the sudden - please don't tell me...

"heh...heh I thought you had it?"

"...NARUMI? I can't believe you've LOST the MAP!"

"Well I'm sure the place isn't too hard to find! What does she smell like? We can use Tiny to help us"

"How should I know? I didn't bring anything of hers with me!"

"Now who's stupid?"

Arg! I can't be dealing with this! Quickening the pace (with my pet Tiny in tow) I began to scour the streets for that noodle café she and Yusuke now vowed together as man and wife (I missed the wedding which was because of my college exams) You'd think by now that living around this area a good part of my life had it's advantages but it's not! It's like looking for a hiding place on a field!

Aha, I think I might have that hiding place after all.../ runs towards the voices/

"hey Mina! It's this way! / confused/ where are you going?"

"C'mon! There's some people over by that off-licence who could help us!"

We'd had only started to cross the road when by pure luck I had heard the rumbling sounds that only hoards of fangirls could make. Fangirls + Popular nice person Help! (Oh and lots of ruckus)

"Oh Kazuma, please consider that proposition of studying together later on ok?"

"He's going to the spring party with us Tia so buzz off!"

"Pff, I don't know about you girls but he's got better things to do like walk me home"

/sweatdrops / Riiight... I think this guy needs more than saving - he needs a miracle! I told Narumi to stay close behind me as you and I know; it could get verrrry ugly. Luckily she did as she was told (maybe setting Tiny on her was maybe enough), making sure that her cap didn't fall of and expose her feline ears.

"Yo! Slobbering mongrels! Step away...from the defenceless prey! That's it...one foot in front of the other ... good mongrels..."

One of them decided to be brave just because she was taller with those crippling high-heels of hers. Why can't she wear plimsolls like everyone else?

"You should mind your own business missy. Outsiders aren't welcomed here." The spittle she was creating from just talking was enough to make you vomit!

The worse part is that Narumi is shouting in the background! Oh help me...

"C'mon Mina! Kick her in the balls! She doesn't look like a woman to me! C'mon sis! Show her you don't take crap from ANYONE!"

A couple of girls whispered cautiously to each other. Even the bloke was looking pale. Eventually this so-called 'bully' was beginning to tremble slightly.

"Y-you wouldn't happen to be...Mina A-Asako now would y-you?"

"Heh heh" I leaned in menacingly "If I was would you step aside before I really lose my cool? Or would your incapability to walk without arrogantly asking for directions cause you problems hmm?"

Next thing I saw she was brushing me down, apologising for making a scene and briskly waking away whilst hollering at the others to get a move on. So it was just me, Narumi, Tiny and 'Kazuma'...now where have I heard that name before?

Narumi piped up in a 'matter-of-a-fact' tone.

"Nice one sis! But I wish you wouldn't slouch, you look like an old hag..."

/annoyed / "I'm so going to put you out in the pouring rain tonight..."

Kazuma stood there just staring at us whilst we continued to argue, threaten and 'wrestle' till my sister pointed out that we were being stared at.

I quickly recollected myself. "Ah, um Kazuma? Could you possibly tell me were about Keiko's Noodle café is please? Me and my half-sister / death glares at her/ are kina lost and we need help getting there..."

"Mina, don't you recognise me?"

Lifting up one of my bangs I looked at him long and hard - then the light inside my head went off similar to that of a light bulb.

"KUWABARA! Oh my god!" I virtually leapt onto him! "You've changed so much! How have you been? Are those burns still there?"

He grinned and started to laugh "No, my Yukina sorted that out - we're finally dating! I'm so happy I could dance in the rain!"

Narumi stated that we need to get to Keiko's before we caught flu - so we ran as fast as we could with Kuwabara in the front. Who could of thought that Kuwabara would get that much attention? I thought Kurama was only capable of doing that!

After about half an hour tops; we stopped just outside the café - it was closed for break by the looks of it. Might have to go round the back and knock.

"Um, Hello? Keiko? It's me, Mina! I've brought My sister and Tiny with me. Where the hell is she? Wait a sec, I think I can hear someone coming towards the door...

It was her father, Mr Yukimaura who answered. Of course he was a bit taken back (he thought that it was new fashion statement up in Yokohama to wear cat-earbands and tails - I'll have to forewarn Narumi in the near future)

"Mina," He smiled "it's nice to see you again, though I hardly recognized you - The 'Sarcastic' eyes and Having Tiny in your handbag gave it away. Come in, come in Keiko's just finishing up with the orders - did you have a safe journey over here you two?"

Kuwabara helped us with the bags as Narumi slung her denim coat onto one of the pegs.

"We would've driven here but my clumsy and 'road-raged' sister decided to ram the Mini-cooper into the back of some old astra. So we had to get the bus here. Could've arrived an hour early if -"

"IF you hadn't slept on the bus! Have you any idea how much you bloody weigh?"

"Weakling"

"ass wiper"

"Jack-off"

"Dog meat" I whipped out a collar

"eh? W-what's that for?"

"I hear that pit-bulls can even chew through Bison bones care to test that theory..."

"Mina!" Keiko scolded. Dammit! Why can't I taunt my sister? She started it after all...

"eh heh...hey Keiko...I see that you've not changed...sorta." The cat collar was soon thrown in the bin.

"I've just been onto the phone to Kur-I mean Shuichi" She quickly tried to cover up in front of her dad (who by this time was cooking up something special I know!) So she ushered us all into the front room, where the log fire was burning just nicely for us. Shame that Kuwabara had a bit of a cold though, but I'm sure that Yukina will sort that out / sniggers/.

"He said that he looks forward to seeing you at uni tomorrow"

"What? But I thought I was going to the same uni as you? I wrote it down on that piece of...uhhh dammit, I was speaking to Yukina when she told me to write down Kurama's place of education - must of written it in the choice of schools..."

"Seems that fate has been nice to you for a change" Kuwabara piped up, drinking the cup of cocoa.

"Oh I wouldn't say that...our dad's been doing deals with the underworld. He's lost it hasn't he Mina?"

I just nodded. I'm still wondering how mum is though. But seeing her might be too risky considering the fact that Dad...well...dad's mutated. Narumi didn't see it - she was asleep at the time but I wasn't. Skin sprouted thick, black fur, teeth had no trouble sharpening by itself - looked more like one of those werecats; only the eyes were a flaming putrid yellow and instead of saliva - it looked similar to rotten egg yolk.

And her father wasn't 'attacking' Rina either - like Narumi thought the night before...

Get out...

"Sis?"

I shook the remaining nightmare from my head.

"Hmm? Sorry I was in another world...which reminds me, when is Yusuke returning home? You said it was his birthday but when?"

Keiko sipped on black coffee. "Next year. You are going to my wedding right?"

"Of course I am! That's what I'm here for! Everyone is invited right?"

"Yup! I'm so excited but scared at the same time."

"Ach, no worries, Me, Botan and Yukina oh and of course, Narumi will help you out"

"I think she's referring to you Mina.."

"What's that supposed to mean Kuwabara? It's not as if I'm going to thump the 1st person/heretic at the church now am I?"

Complete silence. A tumbleweed rolled past us (how it got there in the first place is beyond me since we're inside and it's not the wild west)

"Well that's answers my question huh? Maybe if I wear something frilly or girly it'll most likely stop me from landing a punch anyway. Besides, Rina's lessons have paid off in a way"

The last part was spat out disdainfully. Walking around the mansion with 4 fat dictionaries was heavy on the head and painful on the foot. Now I know how Mia feels in 'The princesses Diaries'

After Kuwabara said his goodbyes (as it was getting late) It was time to turn in.
