"…Do I have feelings for Shuichi Minamino…?'
/Morning/
My eyes fluttered opened as I heard the annoying sound of my alarm clock. I pushed the button and pulled the covers back. As I yawned I got a whiff of my morning breath and grimaced. I stood up from my bed and slowly and tiredly walked into the bathroom. I didn't even bother looking to the mirror; I just took my cloths and went into the shower. In about 16 minutes or so I was done. I grabbed my towel and wiped my face. I wiped off the fog that had formed from my warm shower. But when I looked in the mirror I screamed in freight!
"WHAT THE HELL!"
I began to panic. I wiped the mirror over and over again, but every time the image was the same.
I ran of my room and went straight to my calendar. Today was…
"MY BIRTHDAY!!"
My hair was black instead of it normal blond and it was up to my shoulder blades instead of my waist. My eyes were grey and glowing? And my ears were…pointy.
"What's going on? I must be still sleeping. Wake up Lena, Wake the hell up you stupid girl" I slapped myself still hoping it was a dream, but it wasn't.
'Damn you Koenma. What am I gonna do? I can't leave to school like this, I can't leave my house like this, I can't let anyone know'
"Lena! Is everything okay up there?" My mother yelled from downstairs.
"Uh…um yes mom. Everything, is great" I stuttered as I touched my new face, my new hair and ears.
"Well hurry up birthday girl. I made your favorite"
"Okay"
'Okay I can explain the hair and eyes, but what about these ears' I touched my ears almost angrily. 'Come on think, these ears HAVE TO GO!' and when I said that my ears turned to normal not-pointy ears.
I gasped as my heart began to pound in my chest.
"This is crazy…maybe Koenma is right…I could be the Lunar Maiden" I said to myself.
/Later/
'I managed to make it passed my mother, Rodney, and Kenji. Now I have to find away to get away from Madori.'
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LENA!! What's up with the hat?" Madori asked looking at me oddly
"It's chilly" I said simply
"It's 85 degrees out"
"Well you know I have a weak immune system, I'm not trying to catch a cold" I said putting my hands on my head
"Bullshit, Lena what are you hiding under there? Are you bald?"
"Of coarse not, I'm just chilly" I said defending myself.
"Lena what are…whoa" Madori had grabbed my hat and gazed at my now black hair.
I smiled a bit.
"Taa-daa…"
"When did you dye your hair?" she asked
"Um yesterday"
"It's looks nice. Why are you trying to hide it for?"
"Thank you"
"Now loose the hat." She said throwing it into the street
"Hey!" I yelled
"Calm down I'll get you a new one"
/At School/
I was at my locker and once again I was getting complements on my new hair color. I haven't seen Shuichi and his friends today and thank Kami I didn't. Yusuke and Kuwabara wouldn't let me hear the end of it
'I still can't believe this.'
"Do you believe us now Lena?" I heard from behind me
"Shut up Yusuke" I turned and glared at him.
"Your hair looks…great" he said
"Well I don't like it; I wish my hair was back to normal" Right then Yusuke pushed me against my locker, pressing himself against me with his hands on either side of my head.
"Yusuke…what the f-" I blushed furiously
"Shut up, I'm helping you."
"How so?" I asked angrily
"Your hair is back to normal"
"Ahh crap" I whimpered "How do I get it back? People already think I dyed my hair black. Take me to Spirit World NOW!" I whispered harshly
"Fine let's go" he said before taking off his green jacket and placing it over my head as if I were an actress trying to get away from a group of crazy camera men. We began walking and walking quickly. He finally pulled me into an empty room and I groaned angrily as all the boys in the room gaped at me.
"The boy's bathroom! Really Yusuke?" I said
He glared at the boys that were there and they all ran out scared that the great Urameshi was going to whoop their asses.
"Whatever, I'm trying to help you out. Now let's see…" Yusuke put his hand against wall. I rolled my eyes and watched as the once dirty white wall became the portal to spirit world.
"Hurry up lets go!" Yusuke said running up to me, taking my head and leading me into the portal.
/Spirit World/
"HAHAHA stupid stubborn girl she should have listened to me, look at her scared out of her wits" Koenma said to Kurama, laughing hysterically while watching the screen.
"What's that about a stupid girl Koenma?" Koenma turned around slowly hoping that it wasn't Lena and saw me glaring at him.
"Nice hair…" he said biting back a laugh
"It freakin turned back to black when I was going through the portal and now it's short. Koenma damn it HELP ME!" I looked to his side and saw a familiar red head staring at my 'new look'. I blushed a bit remembering my thoughts from last night.
'…Do I have feelings for Shuichi Minamino…?'
"Lena so do you believe me now" Koenma said snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yes I do now how to I stop this" right then my bitten nails grew midsize and became black. "Koenma!"
"There is nothing I can do. You have to accept that this is who you were meant to be"
The toddler said walking up to me.
"NOTHING?"
"Lena you must calm down. It's a good thing you came to. I was going to get Botan to get the both of you. Kuwabara and Hiei will be arriving shortly"
"How the hell can I-Ahh!" I gripped at my now hurting stomach. It felt as if I was being stabbed with a million needles. I fell on my knees in front of Koenma. Kurama and Yusuke looked at me with sympathy. Hiei, Kurama, and Boton walked in the room and watching me groan in pain.
"What's wrong with her? Kuwabara asked.
"It's starting…" Koenma said looking down at his watching. Boton gasped understanding what he was talking about.
I began panting softly as the pain slowly faded away. I became dizzy and then I laid on the floor all of a sudden tiredly.
"Kurama lock her in a room" Koenma said looking down sadly.
"Why?" Kurama asked almost angrily
Koenma turning his back to them and walked to his chair and sitting down, his hands folded under his chin and said nothing.
Kurama sighed, lifting me up and then holding me up bridal style. I moved my head slowly onto his shoulder as he walked out the room with me in his arms. He looked down at me and I looked back.
"About yesterday, I'm sorry if I…came out stronger then I meant to. It's just your not the first to ask me that."
I continued to stare in him.
"You see Madori has gotten girls to come up to me and ask me questions about us going back out. I just wish that she would understand that, I'm interested in getting back together with her. I didn't mean to take my anger out on you Lena. I hope your not to mad at me…"
I smiled tiredly and he smiled back understanding that I was to dizzy to answer him back. We finally got to the room I was going to stay in and he laid me down on the bed and turned to the door getting ready to leave. I sat up slowly with a frown. He turned to look at me.
"I'm sorry Lena but I must leave you here alone, it's Koenma's orders"
I nodded a bit and laid back down as Kurama left me alone in the dark room and locking the door behind him. I looked around being able to see a bit. I sighed a bit and let sleep consume me.
/Koenma's office/
"Finally your back Kurama now Koenma could tell us what is going to happen" Kuwabara said.
"Sorry I took so long" he said
"As you could see Lena is undergoing some changes and slowly turning into her true form. I told you lock her in room became in one hour she will be untouchable. Her spirit energy will go crazy and anyone in contact her during that time will die and if she cannot suppress the pain she will die…"
The group looked at him wide eyed.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN SHE COULD DIE?" Kuwabara yelled
"This is how it works Kuwabara. If she gives into the pain before 12:00 she will die from it. But if she is able to brush passed the pain she will become the Lunar Maiden. Yusuke I'm sure you understand."
"Sure I do...When will the process be over?" Yusuke asked
"Wouldn't be obvious? Midnight."
"So we have to stand here and listen her scream like that again. She won't be able to make it through the pain Koenma she's weak." Yusuke said angrily.
"If she really wants to live then she'll make it thought…"Koenma said.
Yusuke glared at him and walked toward the front door, but Hiei stepped in front of him
"Move outta my way small fry unless you want to get your ass whooped by me again"
"Baka detective" Hiei said punching him in the gut making Yusuke fall to the ground. Yusuke held his stomach and glared at Hiei before getting up and trying to punch the apparition back. Kurama and Kuwabara quickly ran to pull him back
"Yusuke you have to stay!" Koenma yelled. "I need you to stay here for the time being"
Yusuke looked down to the ground his glare apparent. He brushed both Kurama and Kuwabara off before going to sit on the couch.
'This is going to be a long day…' Youko thought
There was an uncomfortable silence when the heard another scream much like the other. They all gasped a bit in fear but new they could do nothing till the process was over.
/11:10pm/
Boton was hunched up in the corner tears threatening to fall. Lena was her close friend, she couldn't listen to her best friend in pain. 'Lena wait, just a 50 minutes…'
'DAMN IT! I wish there was something I could do!' Yusuke thought before punching wall. Hearing her scream the way she was made him want to go after her. But even if he did he'd die and not only that there was nothing he could do even if he did get there.
Kuwabara sat down on the couch his eyes to the floor. He tried to cover his ears but it was to much.
The was the apparition looking out the window as usual, looking unaffected by all of it. In truth he pitied her. 'There is no way a mere human could take such pain…she'll die' He thought, knowing that deep down inside he wanted her alive.
'The worst is yet to come Lena. Hold on…' Koenma thought his hands folding on his desk keeping a straight face. '11:43'
'I can't take this anymore! I have to go see her!' Kurama thought angrily as he balled his hand into a fist. He hated this whole thing. Wasn't there an easier way without her feeling pain? He jumped a bit when he heard her screaming, banging on the walls of the room, crying and desperately asking for help. 'It's almost time. Please make it…for me…'
/With you/
"HELP ME PLEASE! KOENMA MAKE IT STOP, I DON'T WANT THIS…AHHH" I grimaced and writhed on the floor the pain was unbearable. I banged on the doors. "PL-" I screamed loudly. A sharp pain coursed up my back and up to my head and I shot up. I gripped my head in my hands screamed, tears streaming down my face. This had to stop, the pain had to stop.
Then I began to feel weak I fell back. I was going to die. I couldn't scream anymore, I couldn't talk, I could do anything. This was it, the end of my life. No more Mom, Rodney, or Kenny, no more school, no more Madori, Kyohei. No more Koenma, Kuwabara, Boton, Hiei, Yusuke…Shuichi, no more Shuichi…Who knew that in all that little time we shared together, He'd be one I'd missed the most. I can't die! This is what I wanted, a greater purpose. I finally have my chance I won't die. I struggled slowly trying to lift myself up, only to fall back. 'Who am I kidding? I can't even get up.'
The pain was great, to great, I almost want to die, but as if on cue I had a vision.
'Where am I?' I stood up right away, looking at my surroundings. 'This place, I remember I was here in my other dreams.'
I then realized that I wasn't in pain anymore I touched my arms and legs checking if it was true when a women appeared before me her face as blurry as ever.
' Who are you?' I asked.
'Believe me, you know me more then you know yourself'
'What the heck is that suppose to mean? If I knew I wouldn't be asking'
She giggled and floated around me.
'I'm the stars in the galaxy and the darkness in the sky. I'm the dreams you have dreamed and the Moon that shines grey in the night…I am…you'
She stood still before me her eyes. When she said that I gasped, her face became clear. The women I have been dreaming off. Was me?
'Bingo' Right then she disappeared into my body and…
/Koenma/
"LET ME GO DAMN IT WE HAVE TO GO CHECK. SHE'S BEEN QUIET FOR TO LONG." Yusuke yelled trying to get out the door but everyone had to hold him back.
'She's gone? She can't be…' Kurama thought saddened.
'Don't lose hope so easily' Youko said.
BOOM!
Koenma, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Boton, Hiei and Kurama flew back along with the door and Smoke filled the room. The all coughed and waved their hands front of them trying to get the smoke away.
"What the hell was that?" Kuwabara asked
"That explosion…was cosmic energy!" Koenma said
"You're kidding me right" Yusuke said
The smoke cleared immediately. They all got up and tried to find out what was the cause of everything. They gasped when they saw Lena, her eyes glowing purple and a mysterious smirk on her face. Koenma smirked back.
"Welcome back, My Lady"
