Sighing

What's your problem Shane?

I wish that I could get some Niángnìquán.

Niángnìquán? What's that?

Niángnìquán is Nyannichuan in it's original language.

I see. And your reasoning is?

Because I'd love to learn the joys of being female first hand. But alas it is not to be.

Well you are aware that all legends have some measure of truth to them. The problem is is determining what is true and what is gibberish.

And with that lies the problem.

Enough of this let's get on with the story.

Akane just returned from informing her family what was going on glad that the two hadn't eaten anything from lunch When she saw that Yuki was crying.

"Yuki what's wrong?" Akane asked worry lacing her voice.

"They're dead all of them dead. Their hearts stopped beating a minute ago." Yuki said between sobs.

Akane looked over at Mana who didn't appear to be the least bit worried. "What's with you? Our friends are most likely dead and you aren't phased in the least."

"I'm not certain but there's a chance that they'll be fine. So don't worry till that's determined." Mana said trying to calm the other two girls down.

Yuki and Akane looked at her skeptically before they felt a heavy pulse vibrate throughout the room. "What was that?" Yuki asked scared now. Mana wide eyed looked around not recognizing the energy either as another pulse enveloped the room.

"That's demon energy." Akane said quietly hope dawning on her face as she went to examine the six occupants of the room that where out of it. They each had traces of demon aura within them and it was growing. "They're going to make it." Akane continued smiling.

"How do you know?" Mana asked unconvinced.

"All of them are part demon. That part of their being didn't want to die and is awakening to bring them back from the brink." Akane answered before frowning as she continued. "But there is something in their aura that isn't demon and it isn't human either. In fact it's the same aura that I'm picking up from you Mana."

"What are you people?" Yuki asked in a shuddering breath fear written all over her face.

"The same thing you are now." Mana answered looking at Yuki just as Genma and Soun barged in.

"Are they ok." Soun asked on the verge of the waterworks as he rushed to Nabiki's side.

"They're fine. But they might be out of it for a few days." Akane answered.

"How do you know that?" Genma asked skeptical.

"I was reading a few of the scrolls Cologne had on the subject." Akane answered shrugging. "It may be different than a normal demon awakening but it should follow the same principals so we should take them to our place."

"But what about our parents?" Yuki asked.

"We'll just call and tell them that you're going to stay with us a few days so we can help you with school." Akane answered shrugging. "It works in theory anyways."

"I'm going home with you." Yuki stated her eyes red from crying.

"After those of us that are still conscious finish out the finish out the school day." Akane answered.

"What about your parents?" Soun asked picking up his daughter and Shiori while Genma put Hiroshi and Daisuke over his shoulders before they walked out the door.

"Hey what are you doing with those children?" The nurse called as she ran towards the two men.

"Well Tendo if we're going to get them to Tofu's place or your's then we'll have to take desperate measures." Genma said. "Grab on old friend."

"Explain to me how this is supposed to help us? Oh that's how." Soun said when he realized that they appeared to just vanish into thin air.

The nurse stared in shock for a minute till recovered her composure enough to check on who else was still there before calling the police.

"What was that Saotome?" Soun asked when they became visible outside of the school grounds.

"It's a one of my forbidden techniques. And since that nurse saw us it would be advisable to not go to your place."

"Well Tofu's is right on the way we can ask him."

"Good idea Tendo." Genma said he picked up the pace to get to their destination as they heard sirens headed for the school behind them. "Me thinks we should hurry."

"Agreed Saotome." Soun answered doing his best to keep pace with his seemingly unburdened friend.

Meanwhile in the nurses office

"Yes officer two men dressed in gi carried off four of the students that had fainted earlier today." The exasperated Nurse repeated again.

"Yes well we'll do our best to find the culprits." The officer said taking notes before leaving as another call of clear was heard from the office as they had been standing in the hallway.

"I'm sorry ma'am but it appears that these two patients can't be brought back. I'm afraid we'll have to alert their families." The head EMT on site advised.

"I'll do it since they were here when they passed on." The Nurse told the EMTs tears beginning to track down her face feeling sad for what she was going to have to tell the parents.

Some distance away at Tofu's clinic Tofu had just put the closed sign up so they wouldn't be disturbed. "Now let's see. What is going on under the skin?"

"We aren't entirely sure they just collapsed in class." Genma lied hoping to not cause to much excitement before he left to retrieve his child and her fiancee.

After a few minutes Tofu came out after examining them. "Well Mr. Tendo your daughter and her friends are going to be fine. They'll be waking up in a few days at the latest."

"You can tell me what's wrong doc."

"It appears that the four of them have traces of demon blood in their systems. It appears that something has activated it so they are all going to be half demon."

"Thank goodness that it I thought it would be something worse." Soun said sighing as he slumped in his seat.

"You seem to be taking this well." Tofu said looking at Soun pointedly.

"My wife was half demon so it's no big deal to me." Soun answered.

"I see. Well that saves me having to explain things to you." Tofu said leaving the waiting room because he felt someone's flowing signifying wakefulness.

Groaning Nabiki sat up. "Oh my head. What happened? Where am I?"

"You are currently at my practice where your father brought you after you died at school."

"I died?" Nabiki asked unbelieving.

"Yes you consumed some of the flesh of the mermaid." Tofu said beginning his explanation. "You would have either died or been transformed into a lost soul if you had been completely human but you weren't so you're now an immortal."

"I see." Nabiki answered a thoughtful look on her face.

"Your three friends over there are in the same boat except they will be dead longer because they had less demon blood than you." Tofu said. "And your father is in the waiting room."

"Arigato." Nabiki answered as she left the room.

'Tomorrow night with Kasumi is going to be interesting.' Tofu thought a smile playing across his lips. 'At least if I'm able to marry her someday we can have kids.'

OOooOOooOO

BOOOOM

CHRIS what was that?

It appears that my animezation device blew up.

Did anything get caught in the blast?

It appears that two casks of your imaginary supply of jusenkyo water water got adsorbed.

And where did they end up?

One was the cask I showed you along with a cask of Nannichuan and they ended up in this story sometime in the future.

Tengoku tetsudai watashitachi.

Yeah yeah.
