Demonic Monsters
Chapter 10
One Big Monster Family
The rest of that day progressed normally, okay, not normally for Hiei's group since they had to find a new spot. Luckily, Twyla knew of a wonderful spot on the other side of the school, literally, opposite to the previous spot with a great view and everything. Only problem was that it didn't have as good of a view as the last spot did, the last spot had the perfect spot to watch the sunset if you stayed at the school long enough to watch. The new spot though, it only had a view of a sky filled with clouds during their break and a view of the sunrise in the mornings, but not at a good angle so it wasn't as good.
"I can't believe that your sisters found our spot, didn't they ever hear of privacy, or is that nonexistent when it comes to snooping," Howleen asked as she sat on the railing with wonderful balance.
"Yukina was just worried and couldn't wait to see me, that clouded her judgment in regards to if she should tell anybody about the spot or not," Hiei guessed from leaning against the wall.
"Could have been done better, maybe I shouldn't have threatened Jinafire, or maybe she shouldn't have tried to fight me for you, she should know her betters," Twyla said from next to him.
"How do you think your dad will react when he sees Yukina, personally, I think you'll become like any other middle child," Howleen commented.
"I think you've been the middle child for too long," Hiei commented with a skeptical look.
"I'm not the middle child, that's Clawdeen and Clawd, I'm the youngest, but with two middle children, that apparently equals to the youngest getting what the middle would normally get," she argued back.
"Let's get back on topic, like what's going to happen if the spirit detectives learn of where you are as well," Twyla asked to get them to see the bigger problem.
"I'm hoping that won't happen, but in the event that it does, I'm going to make sure that nobody finds out about our friendship or relationship. If word got back to any enemies that I've made, I have no doubt that neither of you would live to see graduation," Hiei said firmly.
"Then we're in agreement, talk to your sisters and make sure they don't reveal any of the information to anybody, I'll do the same with everyone else that heard us. Jinafire will listen to me, after all, she's scared of me to the point she'll do anything not to get what I threatened her with," Twyla said with a cruel smirk.
"Please don't smirk like that, I'm still not use to this side of you, and I'll talk with Clawdeen and make sure that she doesn't spill the beans to anyone else either," Howleen said before she flashed in a darker shade of everything before going back to normal and staggering a bit.
"What was that, it looked like how you looked when you were under the dark genie's curse a little while back," Twyla commented.
"The dark genie's curse, what are you two babbling about," Hiei asked.
"The dark genie's curse was a curse before you came here, you remember Gigi don't you," Howleen asked and Hiei nodded since they ran into one another every once in a while. "Well, her sister, Whisp, was using me to corrupt wishes I was given by rubbing Gigi's lantern, it poisoned my mind and turned me dark and evil."
"You do realize that dark and evil is just words, right, like the words light and good, but when everything comes down to it, the only thing that matters are choices. You said it turned you dark and evil, but I think it was really showing you how much your look could have changed had you made the wrong choices and chosen a path not as good as you had. I think what's happening now is you hanging around my demon energy is bringing that dark look back, dark look only, but the choice in action is always yours. Just my theory anyway," Hiei explained with wisdom he doesn't show often.
"Wow, thanks for that advice, but what happens if I lose control and go full on dark look, will I get like an advanced werewolf powers or something, or do you even know," Howleen asked.
"I have no clue, but we'll focus on it later, for now we should make sure our respective assignments don't spill the beans," Hiei said as the bell for their next class rung.
"Agreed, let's go, but let's keep a low profile for the time being," Twyla stated before kissing Hiei lightly on the lips before walking back into the school.
Later after school
Draculaura was leading Yukina around the school, and showing her around all day since she'd be going there soon and all. They talked the entire time and Yukina was welcomed by all, and she thought she wouldn't be at Monster High, could you believe it. There wasn't any fear in the looks either as if Hiei had threatened them if they weren't nice to her, they were all genuinely nice. Draculaura knew that she could actually take Yukina shopping and she'd be fine with it, at least better than Hiei was on his first shopping trip with his sister.
Draculaura was smart enough to know though, that Hiei didn't want anyone to know he was dating Twyla, even if she could defend herself now, that didn't mean he was taking any chances. She knew to keep her mouth shut about it, but apparently Jinafire didn't get the memo and blabbed about it to the rest of Hiei's fan club, something he hasn't caught yet with any luck.
Yukina and Draculaura were walking out the front door of Monster High and heading to Draculaura's car, "thanks again for letting me see what a classroom is like," Yukina thanked.
"It was no bother, if you're going to be going here, you definitely need to see what a classroom is like," Draculaura mentioned.
"Thank you again anyways, and I do hope we get to see what this maul you told me about is like soon, I've been to one while I was in Japan but never one in America before," the ice maiden replied.
"You'll love it, I do hope you'll be much better and more behaved than Hiei though, he ran away the entire time and wasn't found until we saw him in the rafters sleeping," the vampire said when they reached her car.
"This is your transportation, I never knew something could look so different, but in a good way," Yukina commented once she saw the black and pink convertible.
"Yep, now let's hop in and start on home, I can't wait to show you the room me and daddy prepared for you just in case you came with Hiei," Draculaura chirped as she and her sister got in the car.
"I can't wait to see it myself," she replied as they started to pull out of the parking lot, but they almost didn't see Hiei at the end of the parking lot until Draculaura was forced to slam on the brakes to not hit him.
Hiei just stood there and didn't move an inch until the car came to a stop an inch in front of him before strolling to the back of the car and getting in the back-middle seat. "We'll talk as Draculaura drives us home," Hiei said once he entered the vehicle and put on his seatbelt.
"I should have known something like this was going to happen, don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about you and Twyla, not even Clawd knows," Draculaura reassured.
"I knew that already, I know you aren't as air headed as you let others see, what I meant is for Yukina to not mention where I am to the detectives or the fox," Hiei stated.
"Do you really think so little of my intelligence that you'd think I'd tell them where we are," Yukina asked with an almost dangerous glint in her eyes.
"I never once thought little of yours or Draculaura's intelligence, thought you hid it well, yes, but never thought little of it. I'm talking about letting it slip one day when you aren't thinking about it, anyone can do it, I'm just making sure you know why I hid it," he stated coolly.
"We do know why Hiei, me and Yukina talked about it after Bloodgood agreed to let her sit in on the classes today, and yes, we made sure nobody was around when we did," Draculaura answered.
"She's right brother, you don't have to worry about us, we'll be sure to keep quiet about your life, although I do wish you were more trusting," Yukina commented.
"I know right, he's a complete cynic and won't trust anyone enough to know not to tell a secret, to be honest it's very hurtful," the vampire said on the verge of tears.
"You didn't have to live with him watching over you and refusing to tell you that he was your brother, then he claims that he's only watching out for your best interest," the ice maiden informed.
"If I agree to go to the maul with you, will you both shut up about this," Hiei offered.
"Wonderful, after we stop by the house to show Yukina where she'll be staying at, we'll leave straight for the maul," Draculaura chirped as they approached the castle.
Something was strange though, the lights are on, but the only one that has a key is their father, which means that he must be home. Draculaura and Yukina scrambled to get out of the car while Hiei just calmly did so at moderate speeds. When they finally got to the door, Draculaura rushed inside to give their father the wonderful news.
"Daddy, guess who's here," Draculaura exclaimed to Dracula before stepping aside and showing him Yukina.
"Hello father, my name is Yukina," Yukina said with a respectful bow before being scooped up in an enormous hug from Dracula.
"Don't be so formal my daughter, it's wonderful to finally meat you as well," Dracula said once he put his daughter down.
"Why didn't you tell us you were coming home early, I wanted to surprise you with a huge supper," Draculaura asked.
"I was able to catch an earlier flight, and I'm glad I did because now I'm greeted with all of my children for the first time ever," he said with a small tear before motioning for everyone to come in for a group hug. Draculaura and Yukina were instantly with their father, the only hold out was Hiei, and when they all looked to him expectantly, he turned away from them.
"I'm not a hugger, but welcome back none the less," Hiei said with his back to them.
"Well, am I guessing correctly when I say that Yukina will be living with us from now on," Dracula asked with his two daughters nodding vigorously. "Well then, why doesn't Draculaura show Yukina to her new room, then I'm sure that you two will be going to the maul, won't you," they were gone before the words fully left his mouth.
"She also wants to go to Monster High with us as well," Hiei mentioned to his father.
"I had a feeling, are you ready to have two sisters to deal with instead of one, I get the feeling a lot has happened in my absence," Dracula speculated.
"Yes, a lot has happened, I even took down the events so you know what all your daughter has gotten herself into since you've been gone," the demon said before taking out and tossing a small black book to his father.
Dracula opened the book and saw that Hiei has quite the penmanship for a demon who only received proper education recently. "This is quite a bit of trouble to get into in just six months, how does someone get haunted now a day in the first place," Dracula rhetorically asked.
"Don't ask me," Hiei said as his sisters all but blurred down the steps in a blur and dragged both father and son in the car with a flash for a trip to the maul as one big monster family.
