Stepping out into the living room of Yusuke's home, I was practically tackled by Kayko and Botan. "Come on Mikey!" They shouted, dragging me towards the door.
"What the hell!?" I spat out before being dragged, literally, into another portal.
Now I was dragged out of the portal and into a women's restroom. Just as the portal closed is when a woman walked out of one of the stalls. She had seen nothing, and no one else had been there to see anything either. "Shopping time!" Kayko shouted.
My eyes went wide before they dragged me out of the restrooms and into the mall. I instantly jerked my arms from them. "Hell no!" I shouted.
Both girls groaned, "Oh come on Mikey." Kayko said, taking a hold of my arm again.
"You're living with us now; you need some clothes and what not!" Botan said, before pointing towards a store. "Our first stop!" She then shouted before both girls dragged me right on in.
It was then I just wanted to die. To me, this hour and then some experience in this one store felt like a dress up game little kids played. Botan and Kayko went nuts finding clothes that fit me, having me try them on, them deciding if I looked good in them or not and then going back to finding more clothes. Honest to god, that whole time there I held a annoyed face.
After buying the truck load of clothes then, I was drug into another shop, then another, then god, another one! We could have been there the whole, entire freakin night if the mall didn't have a closing time! And I say, thank god for the closing time cause that's when we finally left! With, like what, a hundred bags!? God, someone kill me now. I do have to say though; we didn't have to carry the bags very far. Just out of the view then drop them through a portal before jumping in as well.
We came out in a room about standard size for a normal bedroom. The walls were a lavender color and the floor was carpeted. A twin size bed was up against the wall a few feet from the window, which had white curtains covering it. A desk was near the closet and there nightstand next to the bed. Nothing special…"This is your room." Botan said, smiling.
"Great..." I muttered, looking around before at the bed.
All the bags were on it.
I sighed as Kayko smiled, "We'll help you put the clothes away."
I was still awake when everyone had finally gone to bed. I had stayed in my room, not leaving it until I had everything set up. I now had blankets on my bed, posters and pictures on my walls, different things on my desk and Niraikotsu was up against the wall.
My little Shadow landed on my shoulder as I surveyed the room. I looked at her before rubbing her head with a finger. I smiled softly before looking down. I still felt bad for not being able to help May. If only I could've been there, if only I'd never been dragged to Yusuke's...That's all it is now; if only, if only.
I can't do anything now but somehow move on. But how? May's been the only person in my life for the longest time and now to suddenly have all the others…Its hard. Not to mention being further away from the Amaya. Getting up, I walked over to the window and pulled the curtains apart. I stared out the glass, in my best guess of the direction the Amaya would be in. I hated being so far away from it. I felt so useless in being its guardian now. And now, to learn, that I'm half-demon could make all the more difference in guardian that crystal. I just had to learn how to break the seal and use those powers.
I sighed.
It would be a while before that happened. I wished I could start now, but I'd have to wait for Hiei first and no doubt he's asleep. Or so I thought. In that instant, I whipped around as a voice reached my ears, "Can't sleep?"
My eyes locked on Hiei, who stood a few feet from me and just about an inch above me.
Curse that inch.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"We're going to train." Was all he answered.
