Chapter 8: What are you doing?
"What the hell?"
-Meg's P.O.V-
' I guess she found a mirror too.'
I glanced away from the door and back to the mirror. I couldn't believe I was staring at myself. I was feeling fine but the next thing I knew I blacked out.
'This seems to be my new habit.'
-Downstairs/ Normal P.O.V-
"What the hell?"
Everyone jumped at the sounds of Kate's scream. A small thud sounded after.
"Finally they wake up." Genkai breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone hurried down the hallway and towards the sisters. The dark aura that filled the hallway was no longer as thick and seemed to be evaporating. Genkai was thankful for it.
They saw that both doors were open and as they stepped into Meg's room that realized it was Meg who had passed out and Kate had ran to check on her. They all gathered into the room and stood in awe at the sight before them. Kate stood up straight, Meg still out cold.
"Nobody freak out, we've already done that enough."
Nobody said anything, they just continued to stare.
"Does anyone have any idea on how this could have happened? I mean you all know we're not from your world and this isn't exactally common in ours."
Kurama finally found his words.
"I'm not sure but as soon as Meg wakes up we'll take you to Koenma's. Maybe he knows something."
Kate simply nodded her response.
Everyone stood in an awkward silence and took in Kate's features. Since she was awake their attention was more directed towards her.
She seemed slightly taller than previous. Her shoulder length hair, now against the back of her knees, was silver with a white undertone. Her once hazel eyes were now a light violet; her nails, now long gray claws, rested on her shoulder where a white moon was tattooed upon her neck. White fangs now laid against her pale pink lips. Two fluffy white ears were perched atop her head and a bushy silver and white tail swayed behind her. Oddly there were two gold rings that wrapped around the tip of her tail like bracelets.
As everyone examined Kate and her wolfish features, Hiei's attention was aimed solely at Meg. He already found her attractive but this new side of her grabbed the attention of the animal with in him and held it with an intensity he couldn't explain. Her reddish hair was now short, spikey, and black with a white streak on the left side. (Like rogue from x-men) Silky black ears with a white burst rested on her head while a slick black tail lay beside her. It too had two rings wrapped around the tip like bracelets, only hers were silver. She had another one, slightly smaller than those on her tail, pierced into her right ear. She seemed peaceful as she slept; her nails now long, black, and pointed lay across her stomach. A tiny white fang could be seen poking out from between her blood red lips. Hiei allowed his eyes to trail slowly from her lips to her neck where a black crescent moon was imprinted. As his eyes lingered he noticed that she was beginning to stir.
Everyone looked at Meg as she stirred. She stretched unusually as a purr escaped her lips. Kate leaned over and helped her up. Meg stood on her feet, though she still looked a bit shaky, and looked to everyone who was now staring at her.
"Well apparently I'm good at fainting." She tried joking to lighten the mood. Her sister gave her a toothy grin.
"Hey!" Everyone turned to Kuwabara, "You're a pretty kitty." Meg took a step back as Yusuke smacked him in the head while Hiei punched him in the gut.
"Idiot." Genkai mumbled.
Kurama then took control of the situation.
"Now that you're up we need to get to Koenma's."
The girls nodded and Yusuke called for a portal. They didn't have to wait long before a portal appeared before them.
Koenma sat behind his desk; an obscene amount of paperwork piled high. He stared at it with burning hatred when a wolf and a neko walked into his office. He jumped up and hid behind his chair. The two before him started laughing and to his relief his team walked in with Genkai. Sadly they all started laughing too.(Wouldn't you if you saw a semi-grown man hiding behind a chair because of two women?)
"I'm glad you all find this funny but would you please tell me who those two are?"
"It's Kate and Meg." Genkai said matter of factly.
Koenma stood dumbstruck for a minute. He came out from his hiding place and approached the sisters. He looked closely at them before exclaiming loudly.
"My world it is them! What happened?"
They responded in unison, "We were hoping you could tell us."
"Um ok I'll have to look into this a bit." Another thought quickly appeared. "Would you mind if I took a blood sample?"
The girls seemed to hesitate but gave their consent. Koenma retrieved two needles and proceeded to draw blood from both girls. Meg flinched as the needle entered her vein. Kate had to look the other way when it was her turn. (I guess they don't like needles.)
"Thank you, now if you will all wait here I will get these examined." With that Koenma walked out while everyone lingered in the office.
A while later Kuwabara pulled out a deck of cards he kept on him and invited everyone to play a game. Only Genkai and Yusuke joined him. Kurama and Kate stood by and watched while Meg fell asleep in a chair with Hiei next to her. (Koenma doesn't have windows because birds scare him LMAO.)
-Kurama's P.O.V.-
I felt heat rise to my cheeks when my hand accidently brushed against Kate's. She didn't seem to be affected by it. I glanced back at the game until I realized that Meg and Hiei were absent. I looked to the other side of the room and found Meg curled up in a chair with Hiei in the seat next to her. I took note that his eyes never left her tiny frame.
*Not getting a crush are you Hiei?*
His eyes never faltered as he replied. *Hn, you should know me better than that by now fox.*
*I do and thus I ask if you are getting a crush.*
*No I'm not.*
*Hiei, even you need a mate.*
The 3 eyed shrimp, as Kuwabara likes to call him, never responded. I turned my attention back to the others just as Koenma was returning.
-Normal P.O.V.-
"Alright, everyone gather round."
The three on the floor put away their cards and join the fox and wolf, who were approaching the desk, as Hiei shook Meg awake. He almost smiled as her reddish amber eyes fell upon him. They then walked to the desk to hear Koenma's explanation.
"Thank you, so here's what we have discovered. Apparently these kind of warps are made of certain structures and when someone is contained in them for a certain period of time the warp produce effects."
"As in what, exactly?"
"Well Yusuke, it means that since Kate and Meg were trapped inside the warp for three days the warps effects began to genetically mutate them. So it didn't happen immediately of course but it was in a process of changing them. When they were hit by Genkai's spirit wave it sped up the process. That is why you experienced so much pain."
The girls shared a look before leaning over the desk and spoke in a dark unison.
"We don't recall telling you of the pain we went through."
Everyone now stared intently at Koenma. His jaw clenched tight as beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
"Um, lucky guess?"
They shared another look before pouncing over his desk. Koenma bolted from his seat and was then chased about by the two very angry sisters. The others found the sight to be hilarious.
The girls finally quit, after they slammed his face into the wall, and rejoined the group. Koenma managed to get himself seated before directing his attention to those present.
"Well for the time being I think it would be best if the girls return with you Genkai. They still need to be trained and now we should see if they developed any gifts with their new appearances."
"I developed the need to sleep a lot." Meg shot back with a yawn.
The others laughed at the joke, and then Koenma continued.
"Boys I still request that you check in on them every day."
"No problem." Yusuke smiled as he threw an arm over Meg's shoulders. He turned to speak to her.
"Did you get shorter?"
"I think so."
"Ha, now you're as short as the shrimp over here." He pointed his thumb at Hiei who smacked him on the head with the hilt of his katana.
"Actually Koenma, if it's alright with you and Genkai, I'd like to stay as well. I might be able to lend a hand since they both now have animal genes."
"Well Kurama that would be a good idea but that's mainly up to Genkai. "
"I don't care."
"I'll stay too."
"Hiei you're going as well?"
"I said I was."
"Genkai is that okay with you?"
"Sure why not," she then turned to speak to Hiei directly, "but if you eat all my ice cream again I'm telling a certain someone about a certain secret."
At this Yusuke burst out laughing as Hiei huffed his defiance. Kuwabara looked confused as Koenma and Kurama smirked. Meg and Kate even let out a chuckle.
Koenma then attracted their attention once more.
"Alright, if Kurama and Hiei are going to remain at Genkai's for a few days then Yusuke and Kuwabara, I guess, Get a few days off."
"Sweet!"
"Speaking of sweet, I'm hungry." Meg announced as her stomach let out a growl. Kate was about to laugh when her stomach let out a similar noise.
"Well since you were out so long, I'd say so. When we get back I'll make lunch."
Koenma opened a portal so they could all return to Genkai's for lunch.
After lunch, Yusuke and Kuwabara said goodbye while Kurama spoke of his need to return home to give his mother an excuse and gather clothes. Hiei remained behind. Genkai thought it would be best to have Kurama present during the girl's training, so they decided to wait and let the girls get use to their new forms.
-Meg's P.O.V.-
'I'm so tempted to try and get Kate to chase her tail but she might find a ball of yarn and then I'm screwed. *Yawn* grrr, why am I so tired all the time?'
My eyes felt heavy and my back kept wanting to arch. Finally I gave in and walked over to a spot on the couch. I was so tired, I had tunnel vision. I put my feet beside me as my hands stretched out. My back arched and my tail wrapped around me. I could feel my ears lie flat against my head as I stretched my neck to reach the pillow beside me. The warmth from the pillow put me to sleep almost instantly.
-Kate's P.O.V.-
I found that Genkai has a lot of books, so I'm currently selecting one. (Author pauses for Kate to decide on a book…)(Kate: Shut up! I'm thinking.)
'Yay, now I have a good book and imma sit in that green chair by the window.'
After I got comfy I glanced over to where Meg was and almost burst out laughing. Hiei was sitting at the end of the couch next to the window and there curled against his lap was Meg.
'I wonder if she knows she's sleeping on him.'
I went to glance back to my book and had to do a double take as I wasn't sure that I just saw that. Sure enough there it was, Hiei's arm was wrapped around my sister's waist.
"Um Meg, What are you doing?"
