That last chapter's ending was pretty weird, wasn't it? Sorry about that, my mind was running out on me. This one will be a little more different as the thoughts will mix between Kasumi and Emi. This chap. may last longer...

Directions:

This will indicate that Kasumi is thinking without anyone hearing it: - - Words - -

Normal italic without the skipped lines or the bold letters is for anyone else. If with italics and bold letters with the skipped lines then it's for anyone who is inside of a person that is thinking to themselves. Without the skipped lines that would mean their thoughts are heard by the 'tamer'.

For people who got somewhat idea about that last sentence, you're smart. (Lokinorsedeity, I know you already got that sentence ;P )

Let's see if this chap. is any good, shall we...

Now, on to the show!

Chap. 19, Unexpected Visitors

Emi's hand swept over her forehead as she sighed heavily. She was in her permanent room where she had put her stuff in place, well, for the stuff that didn't need a table or any other furniture. The rest of her things would come in one week. Earlier on, Yukina had told the two to do their own work, seeing as how they all needed their time to not only comfort themselves to the Temple but to re-think of what has happened so far.

And so now, just as Emi took a break, she was doing just that. She collapsed on the futon, thinking while looking blankly at the ceiling.

Emi's POV

So...what just happened so far? Hm, I had dreams, eh, visions of what will be coming my way, got chased by a demon in my own apartment, met my no good jerk of a savior, let me see, what else?...

Ah, and after I closed my eyes in Hotaka's Mansion I don't remember much of anything else! Great; so far so good. He he, maybe there's a world record for the person with the weirdest occurrences...Hey,

I sat up from the futon, now thinking further. What happened to Hotaka? Actually, what happened to us helping him? Hmm, maybe we just...and, wait a second, how did I?...

I looked at my body to see if I had any injuries and I did. There was a bandage on it, on my right arm; close to the shoulder. I sighed; again, I really didn't want to have a single injury on me. I never can do much with them. I went back on the futon, putting my right hand over my eyes. The sun was setting, but it seemed pretty bright.

I grounded, not feeling like I should continue putting my stuff in place. I was about to go and look at the sunset when I noticed something. I had lifted my hand over my forehead a little, allowing my eyes to open first. I saw a curved line on my palm and for a minute I didn't react to it.

I sat up soon, my eyebrows frowning as I had inspected my palm. Wings... they are little wings..., I thought as I traced it with my index finger. It had looked like it was engraved but it didn't feel like that at all. Why do I have this on my hand? Why is it here? I thought as I found myself puzzled because of this.

No...im not going to receive any answers by just asking myself. No one else could have possibly done this that I know of. I was with my friends most of the time so who could it have been and how could it have been placed there without me knowing it? This is too confusing...

I went back to lying the futon, deciding that I won't enjoy a sunset when im this preoccupied. I closed my eyes and wanted to get some more rest. Usually I would sleep so that my mind would think straight to the answers as soon as I wake up. Though that is the reason for my need of sleep, there is another, im tired to do anything. And so, with that, I went off to sleep.

Emi's dream/ POV

I slowly opened my eyes to the strange yet beautiful night blue sky. There were many stars that I just gawked at the sky. Wow...they look so pretty...so many..., I thought as I can feel my eyes glitter and shine like the stars I see. I felt grass beneath me. The feel of wet grass was too strange, though. I heard chuckling above me and I looked at where it came from.

It felt like I was seeing through a camera, purposely moving. I couldn't see quiet clearly but I saw a man with white wings. He looked over his shoulder and smirked at me as the moon's light touched his face. He had ruffled hair, im not too sure but I think his hair was green...his eyes were playfully olive green with a hint of...yellow! I couldn't see so clearly but then I heard water, a brook right on my left.

I looked and I saw a fountain, replacing the sound of the brook. Right there, I saw Kasumi and another girl with her. The girl had dark pink hair and it was long. Her eyes were also an unusual, dark pink with a hint of yellow but at that moment, she looked like she was sad about something. I then turn my attention to Kasumi which had a sad yet serious face.

"Time to wake up, Emi" Kasumi said. My eyes had widened as I felt myself be pulled by my shirt and back to my room. Somehow, I had woken up without the feeling to be awakened.

Out of POV

Emi sat up as she looked at her surroundings. She was awake in her room but still had that sensation of being in that place in her dream.

What? Why did she? - Emi thought as she was cut off by Kasumi.

Emi, calm down, I just got you out of that world, ok.

World, what do you mean by world? I thought I was in my dream.

Well, it was half of your dream and half of it was a world where, how can I put this? Um, it's where my kind live.

Your kind? Damn I, I don't get any of this?! Emi thought in frustration as she put her hands on her face and moved her head back and forth. Kasumi sighed to her frustration. –

- Humans ask too much questions and then they start saying they're confused! - -

Emi, please listen, sigh, im not sure if I should tell you this without permission but... before Kasumi could tell Emi anything, Amaya and Yukina came in her room.

"Emi, are you ok?" Amaya asked as she knelt down beside Emi. Yukina had walked up to her suite and looked down at Emi.

"We heard you talking out loud and thought that someone had broken in." Yukina said as Emi raised her hand, her bangs not allowing her eyes to show. Yukina got her hand and was about to pull her up when...

"I need to talk to you two for a moment. Please lead me to another part of this Temple." 'Emi' said, using a different voice. Yukina and Amaya looked at each other with worry. 'Emi' soon looked at Yukina, "I'll explain everything if you bring me to a secure place where no one will come to hear us." She said.

Yukina's eyes widened as she saw 'Emi's' expression was too different and so were her eyes. 'Emi's' expression was serious; her eyes were the same icy blue color as Kasumi's. Yukina soon got out of her surprise as she nodded and lifted 'Emi' up.

"Come on, Amaya. We're going to the living room." Yukina said in a serious tone as she held on to 'Emi's' hand and lead her to the living room. Amaya followed the two to the living room. Amaya and 'Emi' sat down on the futon as Yukina went to her room for just a second and came back with a jewel that was dark red and a feather tied to it. The room soon had outlines of blue and turned back to normal. She sat down with them, her expression was still serious.

"Explain what just happened, who ever you are" Yukina said in a firm voice. Amaya blinked at the scene and at the two who she thought she knew. 'Emi' raised her head and soon Amaya understood what Yukina meant. 'Emi's' eyes were icy blue and her expression was the same as Yukina's.

"My name is Kasumi Mirako and I am the 5th Guard of Light of Queen Arisu's", Kasumi said.

With Kurama

Everyone was in Kurama's apartment, at the table, including the unexpected guests.

"I'm glad that you came even sooner Shuichi, I wouldn't know what to do with these three gentlemen." Shiori said, a faint smile was on her face. Kurama was only beside his mother, drinking the tea she made a little earlier. He looked at his mother and put a smile on his face.

"I wouldn't leave you for that long, not while you're sick now." Kurama said.

"Shuichi, it's just a cold, it's already going away." Shiori said, trying to put an excuse to not make her son worry so much.

"Well, we also did tell her that she should rest but she told us otherwise..." Koenma said, nervously smiling. Shiori stands up and huffs, "well, if you want me to be gone that badly, i'll be in my room, sleeping."

"Arigato Miss. Minamino for the tea and cake" all the guests said. "You're welcome."

Shiori went to her room after that. Everyone else was smiling nervously. They all soon had a serious expression on their faces.

"So, why are you three here, especially in my apartment?" Kurama said looking at the two rulers and their friend.

"Yeah, tell us, father" Akira said, slyly.

"Ah, that would be my doing. I asked if Koenma can come but im not sure about the other two baka's over there" Botan said.

"Hey!" Hachiro yelled, not liking how she put the two as idiots. Kazuki was secretly crying a river, why do you define me like that my love?

"Just because your cute that doesn't mean that you can start calling us names...unless-" Hachiro said until he was cut off by a punch on the face.

"Hachiro, shut up!" Botan said, annoyance showing on her face and even a little embarrassment on what he was going to propose. All the other men looked at her, startled.

"What? Im not going to hurt you, unless you get me angry..." Botan said, a little shine came to her eyes as she said her threat. The others just moved a little away from her.

With Emi

"Im using Emi as a medium for now so please don't be alarmed." Kasumi said. Yukina and Amaya looked at each other and soon showed trust in her.

"Alright, we'll believe you" Amaya said. Kasumi sighed as she began explaining but first...

"Yukina, was it? Cut the acting, Emi isn't much here with us right now." Kasumi said; Yukina was taken back by this. Yukina soon lowered her head down, a little disappointed and embarrassed on how she was caught.

"Ok." Yukina said in a small whisper. The whole room was swept with a chill of cold, not so much put enough to give you goosebumps. Yukina had been holding her aura and her spirit energy. It didn't bother Kasumi one bit but Amaya felt cold, not knowing what just happened she just looked puzzled.

"Good, that would have exhausted you even more and would have made you sick. You weren't holding back properly." Kasumi said, smiling warmly at her. Yukina lifted her head in surprise. She had now been thinking who she was, seeing as how she isn't from mystic land because there was no ring on her finger. Neither was she human or a goddess so she could only be from...

"Plus, you haven't felt my aura, have you?" Kasumi said, receiving another shocked Yukina. This was entertaining to Kasumi but to Yukina it was a surprise after another! It was true, she couldn't sense her aura until she let go of hers. She clearly forgot how to be sensed as a human and sense other aura's and spirit energies. Heck, no wonder she felt strange around Hotaka!

Yukina's eyes went a little dim, disappointed for not doing things properly.

"Hm, I thought so. You need to train some more" Kasumi said.

"Hey, don't t-try to c-change the s-subject! Tell us why y-you're in E-Emi?" Amaya said, rubbing her arms so that she could get warm. Kasumi leaned back, putting up a sad looking face.

"Your no fun...alright, why I am in Emi will all be cleared out later on...let her tell you" Kasumi said.

"What the heck! Why can't you tell us?" Amaya protested, Yukina was trying to calm her down. Kasumi just looked at her and then lifted her arms and put her hands on the back of her head, laying down on the futon.

"As I said, let her tell you, besides, she would explain it better...Anyways, I wanna know, has anything scary or strange happened?" Kasumi said, looking up at the ceiling. Yukina and Amaya blinked, what did she meant by scary? Their eyes widened, it had hit them hard in the head as they realized what she meant. Kasumi looked at them that instant and she had a smile on her face; turning her attention back to the ceiling.

"Well, that's one reason why im here. I came to help you guys." Kasumi said, looking at Emi's hand that had the two little wings on it.

"Let's say the my queen ordered me to protect you all that are close to Emi...she said that she also needed to be taken care of as well..." Kasumi said, sighing at the end.

"She also said another person that I have to find...but..." Kasumi soon rolled over and looked at the two girls, "this is as far as I will go on telling you about me."

"Why?!" Amaya whined.

"Sorry but rules are rules, I was also ordered to not tell you everything, just my purpose and why im within Emi." Kasumi said as she stood up. "If you'll excuse me, I think I'll go to Emi's room right now, tuck her to bed and rest." Kasumi said as she went to the entrance of the room. A seed had fallen from Emi's pocket and Yukina soon picked it up.

Yukina remembered about yesterday's event and how Kasumi replaced Emi so that she could lead the danger away. Before that, though, Kasumi had gone to Kurama and whispered something to him.

"Kasumi..." Yukina said. Kasumi stopped and looked over her left shoulder.

"What is it?" Kasumi said. Yukina showed her the seed.

"What is your relationship with Kurama?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, this is where I end it. Hopefully it wasn't too weird, boring, long, pointless or anything bad.

The next chap. WILL be about Kasumi and her relationship with Kurama. Another scene would be showing the other group that's with Kurama and... I think I've said too much but the chapter after that maybe would be about the girls working. I trust that chapter will be good but for now is in suspense.

Please Read and Review, bye!
