David and Lewis quickly stood as Mao burst through the door.
"Saya pant Rue pant Lulu pant Kai pant Ka-kagome." Mao panted.
"What?" David asked, unable to understand. "Mao, take a deep breath and sit down." Lewis said as he led the tired girl to the couch. David walked over with a glass of water and handed it to Mao. Mao nodded in thanks and drank the water thirstily.
"Now you mind tellin' us why you ran back here, and where are Saya and Shippo?" Lewis asked. Mao set the empty glass down on the coffee table and leaned back, still unable to believe the event 10 minutes ago actually happened.
"Well, Saya, me and Mr.Higurashi were shopping, well more like window shopping, and we went into Rue 21. Cause, I love their stuff, I mean everything there is-. "Mao was cut off when David said, "Mao, get back on point."
"Oops, sorry. Well any way when we walked in," Mao said unable to contain the bright smile that appeared on her face. "We saw Kai and Lulu." David and Lewis gasped, and David smiled slightly.
"He's free, how did he escape…. And why was Lulu out in the sun?" Lewis asked. Mao's smile faded away, and a small frown marred her features.
"He's not free, in fact Kagome was there with him. I even heard her, she was feeding off the cashier. But we need to get back there Saya could be inn danger, she doesn't have her sword. Where's Haji, I know he has it." Mao said looking around for Saya's chevalier.
"He actually went of somewhere, I have no clue where, so we'll have to take care of this ourselves." David. Lewis nodded.
"Mao, you might as well stay here." Lewis said, loading his handgun. David did the same as Mao laid heavily on the couch. As David reached for the door, it swung open and revealed Kai, with Saya standing closely behind him.
"K-Kai." Was all David said. Mao shot up from her position a teary smile appeared on her face as she leaned on the back of the couch.
"Hey." Kai said with a small smile.
"Hey Kai, glad to see ya." Lewis said extending a hand for Kai to shake, which Kai accepted.
"Where's Shippo Higurashi?" David asked, not seeing the red haired man.
"Hey to you too, and he went after Kagome." Kai said.
" I knew that kid would go back to his mother, and hey Kai." David said, giving a small smile at the end.
"Kagome is his mother?" Kai said astonished. David nodded.
"Well welcome back." David said, thinking that Saya or Kai had managed to defeat Kagome and come here. Kai's smile faded and he looked away.
"Kai's not back for good David. He's only here fro the day , or until Kagome and Lulu are done shopping." Saya said softly in sadness. Mao's smile faded into an angry straight line.
"The little girl from the Schiff?" Lewis asked surprised.
"Ya, I was surprised too when I found out, but I guess Kagome took her in. Kagome even found away for Lulu to be out in the sun."Kai said.
"Ya, and even though Kagome is a crazy evil monster, she has great taste. Lulu looked adorable" Mao said, trying and succeeding to lighten the mood a bit as everyone shook their heads at Mao's empty head.
"Does Lulu even know that Kagome is one of Diva's chevaliers?" Saya asked.
"Yes, she does, Kagome has even gotten Diva to heal the Thorn. But let's stop talking business, I want to take out Saya and Mao to have some fun." Kai said smiling a bit. Mao nodded happily and Saya gave a small smile. Mao popped up behind Lewis who was standing next to Kai.
"Ya! I hear there's a little festival in Harlem that sounds like fun and after that we can go to Times Square." Mao said with a big smile.
"Sounds good Mao, you in Saya?" Kai asked.
"Ya." Saya said softly. 'Just like old times' her eyes softened at the thought.
"Well let's go. It was nice to see you again David, Lewis."Kai said as he was quickly dragged down the steps by Mao before David or Lewis could get a word out. Saya followed quickly. Lewis just smiled as the door closed. David looked at Lewis almost angrily.
"How can you act if nothing has happened? Kai is being controlled by Kagome. A chiropteran that may be just as or even more dangerous that Diva. He's in danger, we have to keep him here." David as he began to run to the door. He would have reached it had Lewis not quickly caught his arm. David looked wildly at Lewis.
"David, control yourself!" Lewis in a reprimanding tone, still holding tightly to David's arm.
"Why should I, every second he's with Kagome, he puts himself in danger. She's not safe!" David said angrily.
"David, as dangerous as Kagome is, she's extremely childish." Lewis said with reason.
"What does that have to do with anything?"David asked impatiently.
"Kagome calls Saya 'Auntie Saya', like a child. Saya is her enemy and she let her chevalier go with her. Kai does not like Kagome and I don't think he's loyal to her and Kagome knows that. He might not come back. She undoubtedly let him go with Saya so he could be happy . Children love happy people, I mean have you seen Lulu." Lewis said, saying the last part jokingly.
"Yes, but Kagome is insane, more so than anyone I've seen before. I don't trust her with Kai." David sighed.
"Yes she is, but I believe that Shippo is right and there really is a nice caring loving woman behind that insanity."Lewis said. David nodded in defeat, he only hoped it was true because even if it wasn't they would not be able to stop her from killing anyone.
With Kai Saya and Mao
Kai and Saya followed Mao as she excitedly led them to Times Square, whose lights were shining brightly in the night. You couldn't even see the stars.
"Let's o on that." Mao said, pointing to the Ferris wheel in the Toys R Us.
"Okay," Kai said as he smiled. He looked down at Saya who had kept glancing at him throughout the entire outing. "Mao, how 'bout you go inside and get the tickets. I think Saya wants to talk with me real quick." Kai said.
"Fine," Mao sighed pouting. "I don't see why I have to pay for the tickets." She walked into the store mumbling about being cheap and unfair. Saya led them to a quiet alley. They leaned against walls opposite of each other so they could face each other. People walked busily past the alley, not bothering to even glance at them.
"Kai, have you really become Kagome's chevalier?" Saya asked quietly looking at a stray cat as it lay in between some trash cans.
"Ya, I have, it's not like I want to though." Kai answered curtly. "Do you think she'll make us fight?"
"I-I really don't know Kai. Kagome's messed up. If anything she will just for amusement." Saya said darkly.
Kai gave a dark chuckle, "That sounds like Kagome."
"Kai?" Saya said getting his attention as he looked at her.
"Ya Saya?" Kai responded, as he looked into her eyes.
"Has Kagome… done anything horrible to you?" Saya asked.
"I'd really rather not talk about it." Kai said watching the New York City citizens talk and live happily, watching and envying how ignorant they were of Chiropterans and Diva and Kagome's evil and cruel doings. Not knowing of the monsters among them. He envied their ignorance.
"Oh, okay." Saya said sadly at Kai's curt tone.
"Hey, cheer up, let's start going, Mao's probably looking for us." Kai said with a smile.
"Ya, sorry." Saya said with a small smile. They walked out of the alley and met up with Mao at the entrance of the gigantic toy store. She was tapping her foot impatiently.
"Finally, I waited like, forever for you guys to come back. What were you doin' back there anyway?" Mao asked, giving a sly smile.
"Mao, we were just talking, honest. Right, Saya?" Kai asked smiling as he put a friendly arm around Saya's shoulders.
"Ya, just talking. No need to get suspicious Mao." Saya sighed, as she blushed a bit from Mao's accusing tone.
"What ever, just come on. It's getting late and I really wanna get back to the apartment." Mao said as she began to walk away toward the line for the Ferris wheel. They waited in line, talking of funny events from their pasts. Kai was telling embarrassing stories of Saya when they were young, Saya doing the same. Mao laughed at each of their misfortunes as children. They soon found themselves at the front of the line a woman waiting for them to give her the necessary tickets. They stepped into the small box and basked in the feeling of just being with their friends. No words needed to be said they just tried to absorb the feeling of each other's presence, knowing that Kai would be leaving before the end of the night. They soon made it to the very top of the Ferris wheel.
"Hey ,we were lucky, we got the best one." Kai said smiling. Mao nodded.
"I know, how lucky." Mao said giving Kai a slight smile. Kai noticed that Saya had yet to say anything.
"Hey, Saya, you okay?" Kai asked. Saya just looked lazily at him. She could hear noises but she couldn't understand anything that he said. Dots were beginning to creep into her vision. 'No, not now. Not with
my last moments with Kai.' She thought to herself drowsily, trying to keep herself conscious. "Kai." Was the last thing she whispered as she slipped into another unconscious spell. She fell onto Kai's shoulder.
"Saya, Saya wake up." Kai said patting her face, worried that she had fallen into her deep sleep. She groaned and moved a bit. Mao and Kai sighed in relief.
" I think we better head back." Kai said. Mao nodded .The ride came to an end, and Kai carried Saya out of their box in his arms.
"Oh my! Is she okay?!" The ticket woman asked.
"She's fine, it's probably our fault though," Kai said giving the woman a charming smile. "I guess she was more tired than we thought she was, and we dragged her out here anyway. But really, she'll be fine."
"Alright, but make sure she gets lots of rest." The woman said with a smile.
"Will do." Mao said as she waved good bye. Kai changed Saya's position from his arms to his back. They waved down a taxi and soon arrived to the apartment. Mao opened the door to Saya's room and Kai gently put Saya on her bed. They walked back into the main room. Kai then noticed a red haired man sitting on the couch. Kai detected a small bit of sadness coming from the man.
"Hey, aren't you the one who called Kagome your mother?" Kai asked, narrowing his eyes at Shippo.
"Ya, I'm her adopted son." Shippo said as he sniffed the air. " I didn't noticed before, but by the smell of things you've become Kagome's chevalier. You smell like her a little." Shippo smiled slightly.
"Shippo, did you find Kagome?" Lewis asked as he munched on some chips.
" I found her, and we talked for a while, like we used to. But, then she started of talking about things like blood and what she did to Kai, even that kid Lulu was freaked out a little." Shippo said sadly, looking at Kai with pity.
" I don't need your pity Higurashi-san." Kai mumbled out. A knock interrupted the awkward silence that had fallen over the group.
"I'll get it." Mao said, as she got up from her position next to Kai. She opened the door.
"Hey Lulu." Mao said with a smile, checking behind the small child in case Kagome had come as well.
"Hi Mao, is Kai here?" Lulu asked smiling and letting herself in.
"Ya Lulu right here. Is Kagome with you?" Kai spit out the last part.
"Uh-uh, Mama sent me home after Mr. Shippo found us." Lulu said.
"Oh, well why are you here then?" Kai asked.
"Mama should be done shopping by now, and I think she'll get worried if you're gone too long." Lulu said , standing next to the red haired man.
"I'll be a little longer, like an hour. Just until Saya wakes up." Kai said, not even bothering to look at Lulu.
"Kai, you don't have to go. You can stay here now." David said.
"What?" Kai asked in confusion.
"My dearest Shippo has agreed to become my chevalier Kai-kun. To leave you here, and come with me." A voice sounded from the window. They all looked toward the person.
"Kagome." Kai said to himself.
"I must admit, I'll miss you Kai-kun, but now, Shippo will be mine forever. Anyway, while I'm here, where is Auntie Saya? I must bring her to Diva-sama. Mother even said I could help 'cause I am such a good girl." Kagome purred out. Lulu began to look uncomfortable.
"Mama, please don't kill Saya. I really like her." Lulu said softly.
"But I have to Lulu. If I don't Mother will be sad. Mother is no fun when she's sad." Kagome said as she pouted. Her daughter was making things difficult.
"But Mama, you don't have to make her happy. She doesn't control you. You're stronger than her, you know that!" Lulu said desperately, trying to save her friend if only for now.
"I know, but it's fun to pretend." Kagome said, her eyes became dilated in crazed excitement. Everyone looked frightened and David and Lewis inched toward their guns. Even if they didn't work against her, it might slow her down. Kagome looked at everyone as they stared tense at her. She yawned.
"Naa, I'm bored now, let's go Lulu, Shippo-kun. Bye Kai-kun, tell Auntie Saya I said hi." Kagome
"Thank you Shippo, for taking my place." Kai said, with a slight smile.
Shippo shook his head no. "I have not taken your place I have only become a new toy to play with. But I'm okay with that. And, thank you for being boring." Shippo said with a slight smirk, he took Lulu's hand and jumped out the window. Kai looked confused.
"What do you mean boring?" Kai asked.
"You were getting boring and you were gonna end up like Ai. And I know Auntie Saya wouldn't like that." Kagome giggled and kissed Kai on the cheek allowing her fangs to cut the skin and draw blood. She lapped it up then disappeared through the window as well.
