Chapter 9: Nii-Chan

BLUE

Our group decided to stay an extra night at the spirit temple. But we didn't have much of a choice since Vio and Shadow slept in late. They had apparently stayed up all night too; doing whatever the hell they wanted to with each other. Poor Red had run straight to my room shouting that a monster was eating them. When I checked, the 'monster' was Shadow and he was in fact 'eating' Vio, if you want to put it that way. That was a hard one to explain to Red, who was almost in hysterics at that time.

Green, of course, laughed at my misfortune. He didn't laugh for long when I retaliated with the fact his room is next to theirs, His expression was priceless.

SHADOW

I woke up very pleasantly with Vio in my arms. I'm very glad our fight was over, even if it had only lasted about a day. The blonde teen stirred as he slowly opened his eyes to look at me.

"Hm." he stretched and sat up, "Good morning." he smiled as he settled back down. Our peace didn't last long when the sound of a frustrated Blue pounded on the door.

"Are you two up yet? There's someone here to talk to you!" The door's handle rattled as he tried to open it. A loud sigh came from the other side as he walked off. In the distance, he could be heard calling Red to come barge in on us. As soon as I heard it I took Vio off me and rummaged through the clothes pile on the floor. Vio joined me in the search, in our quick change, we didn't notice exactly what clothes we took. I ended up in my white undershirt and Vio's tunic, and white leggings. Vio had my black leggings, his lavender undershirt, and my black tunic. Huh, he looks good in black.

"GET UP GUYS!" Red shouted excitedly running through the door, and stopping abruptly. "…..HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he laughed extremely hard at the mixed outfits. A tint of pink lined Vio's cheeks; I thought crossed my mind as I realized something else. I think I grabbed the wrong underwear too. Crap. Green came in upon hearing the laughter and joined Red with rolling on the floor, on the brink of tears from laughing so hard.

"Why are you two laughing?" Blue's voice came in from the hall, and instead of joining the two immature teens, he just stared. "…Um…Ok then…" he turned around and crept out. Vio blushed and pushed the still laughing heroes out the door.

"Switch back." he ordered. With laughing still heard outside, I took it, not so seriously. I gave him a pout,

"But Vio, you look sooo good in black!" my comment made him blush deeper. "Especially since that was mine," I smirked knowing I had him hooked again. "Though it'd be better without the undershirt."

"Shadow!" he scolded "We don't have time for that right now, Blue said someone was here remember?" he sighed "But I guess, it does look kind of ridiculous. Oh, and that's way too small on you." he teased pointing to his tunic.

"Hm. Alright, I go shirtless, you go undershirt-less. Deal?"

"Fine. Deal."

Well, that's how I ended up with a ton of fan-girls starring me down as Vio wore the very 'sexy in black' look very sexily. This was even better seeing as I had worn it recently. I smiled to myself as the jealous looks continued, and increased as I put an arm around Vio's slim waist.

"There you are!" Green said. "Do I want to know?"

"No." I smiled at him threateningly, with fangs out. what he got was 'never ask again, Vio's in my shirt, so shut up.'

"Whatever. Anyway, you're not going to like this Shadow."

"And why's that?"

"You'll see."

We continued to walk into the room we were led to. Sitting on the table, nervously biting his pointy nails, was Dark. My older spazzy brother in all his long black hairness. One thing was completely off though, he never went anywhere without Yami, his long-time boyfriend. I cut straight to it, knowing him, he wouldn't want to say anything about it.

"Something happened to Yami didn't it Nii-Chan?" he looked up at my voice, and nodded.

"Shadow? That's Dark?"

"Yeah."

"Who's Yami?" Red intervened tilting his head.

"His boyfriend," I received a glare at my response. "Okay, okay, sorry. His fiancé" I rolled my eyes at the over use of the word, in his case at least. I got many confused looks, "It's complicated." I explained in two words. They seemed satisfied, but I could tell Vio would inquire later. "Alright, so…what happened?"

"Some freaky tall man with orange hair and puke-green skin crashed our house, and attacked us! There was a guy with purple-ish skin, but he looked uncomfortable with the whole situation. I could tell he wasn't there by self-will. There was a magic bracelet on him that was keeping him to the strange orange haired dude. He looked kind of lost too. The green skinned freak knocked me out, and the last thing I saw was him taking Yami and leaving through a dark portal." he explained.

"The purple one. Did he have lavender hair by chance?" I knew Vio was thinking the same as me when he asked that.

"Yeah,"

"Red eye with hair covering one?"

"Yes. and a green mark under it."

"Vaati." I said

"Then that means…" Vio trailed off

"We have to find him and save his sorry ass too?" Blue interjected; ignoring him I went on.

"I know what bracelet you're talking about, I could break the spell if I was close enough. I guess our next step is sneak in and steal them back." everyone nodded in agreement.

"Alright. So…Green, Dark and Blue can go to find Yami. Vio, Red, and I can handle Vaati and the bracelet. If he hasn't changed the layout of the dungeon we should be fine, I'll draw up a map for each of us. There are a few…rebels on our side that are undercover in the castle. A lot of them actually. I can get them to help us get in and out quickly. Good plan?"

"Yeah." they all agreed.

"There is one issue though…how we get all of you into the Dark World. I can only take one other person without exhausting my powers."

"We could make a mirror portal." Dark suggested. "It may take a day, but it's worth it, they can't sense mirror portals."

"Perfect."
