Chapter 12: Nani, Nina?

Kenshin found himself listening to what was being said and watching the clock. Kaoru had given him a key to her apartment when they were first there a couple days ago. Finally, the clock struck four and he was up out of his seat like everyone else.

"Please, for those of you who have assignments for tonight, be careful," said Hiko as everyone left his classroom. He sighed, they would be careful, or suffer the consequences. Quickly leaving the room, Kenshin went to his car and left.

Kaoru got dressed, in a pair of pajama shorts and tank top that was blue with raccoons as a design. She did like the creatures, and Nanika's favorite animal was a raccoon, as long as a hunter didn't shoot him. Taking the cushions off the couch, she took out the bed. Getting blankets and two pillows from one of the closets, she knew she would be getting a guest—a welcome guest—that day. One who would want to stay, even if she was asleep for most of the time. She was tired, even though she had gotten a somewhat good sleep the night before.

Setting down on the edge of her bed, she turned on the TV, soon enough finding an old movie that she liked. Getting up, she went to the door just in time to see Kenshin and smile.

Sano looked around the bar with a blank look. Vampires were lying upon vampires, all spread out across the first floor and the balcony of the second floor, all sleeping with the occasional snore. "Hey, Tokon! You in here?" he was whispering as he walked over and around the bodies, trying to find either Tokon or Dr. Shi. Any body not in his group of followers had to call him Dr. Shi or Enny-sensei. Mostly those from the TH called him Dr. Shi, while his followers called him Enny-sensei. "You too, Dr. Shi?"

"Huh?" Dr. Shi's voice said as the man sat up, the same vampire girl from before still wrapped around his waist. "Oh, hello Sano. What may I have this honor of… whatever! What do ya want?"

"We have info on you impost—" before Sano could finish, Dr. Shi had the folder and was reading it, the girl still held on to him. A burst of flame brought both attentions to Glub, who was sitting on the bar. "Can I hold 'em?"

"Sure, just be careful," said Dr. Shi, returning to the info. Glub was just fine. Sano walked to the bar, careful of those he was stepping over and through.

"Hey Glub! How you been doing?"

No answer.

"Good, good. Jou-chan will be glad to here that. She says hi. I'll tell her that. Any way, I have to go. Dr. Shi, that information is yours to keep."

"Thank you." Dr. Shi appeared by them, sitting on the bar, still reading the information and the girl gone from his waist.

"See ya!" Sano left, not wanting to go back any tome soon, for they were all sleeping in broad day light. Wasn't that just a little strange?

Enishi sighed as he slumped into the cushions of his couch, half expecting to have a tiger cub some and sit on his lap with bright eyes. His friend, long ago having to stay with Chester in Australia…he sighed. Missing the thing was common to him, and Molly.

Miki jumped into the air and caught the small treat Misao had given her. The girl giggled as the minx ate the tide bit. Aoshi just looked up from his papers before going back to them. The two were starting to become good friends, even though it was barely a day when they had first met each other. The "icicle" was just starting to warm up.

'They said Dr. Shi's impostor was the one who killed my family,' thought Yahiko, shocked still as he slowly made his way home. Tsubame, who was not far behind him, looked on with concern eyes. She hoped that what ever would happen ion the future, Yahiko and everyone else she knew and loved would be all right.

No one would know that as they all thought and did as they would any day, the Fake-Dr. Shi was planning his final attack.

"Uren! Get your ass in here!" the fake-Dr. Shi commanded and the blond, somewhat pudgy girl came scurrying into the tower.

"Yes, Dr.—"

"Don't call me that! My real name please," he said, his green eyes glowing dangerously as he ran a hand through his dark hair.

"Hai, Nina, what may I do for you?"

"Get Mr. Bigallsworth."

"Right on it sir!" Uren said, giving a peace sign and a smile before literally bouncing off. She soon returned, dragging the young man who carried the news about Dr. Shi's leaving Africa when he was in the castle. "Here you go sir!" She dropped Mr. Bigallsworth in front of Nina.

"You two know why I am doing this?" he asked, getting silence. "I'll take that as a no. I am trying to find the strongest water mage on this planet that is a male—if I wanted female, I would go after the one who Dr. Shi's followers call the 'Vampire Queen.' But no, it has to be male to work. For with him, I will be able to fuse his power into my body and have control of all the water in the world! Do you know who this boy is?" Again, all he got was silence. "Mouji Yahiko."

Down under, in Australia, a young man with chocolate colored hair and eyes looked up at the blue sky and sighed. It didn't matter if it was night or day, something was wrong, enough to make it not seem that way. Chester was his name, breeding friends was his game, for nothing made him happier then doing exactly that.

Jen looked at him from where she sat on the front porch, her turquoise eyes full of concern. The small tiger cup buy her side, drinking out of her water bowl suddenly stopped, and backed away from it in fear. Turning, it ran swiftly into the soft area of trees where she vanished, going back to her friend. Both Chester and Jen noticed that and quickly ran to the phone.

Sano rubbed his eyes of sleep with a yawn; Enishi had woken up three, even though he meant two. And three were sitting on Kaoru's couch watching him pace, his movements followed by a tiger, while Molly was in the kitchen getting tea. Kaoru was trying mot to fall asleep as Kenshin held her.

"Why wake us up Enishi—thank you—just so you could pace," said Sano, pausing to take a sip of warm tea from a cup Molly had given him, the reason for the thank you.

"Tora and I both feel it, this thing is happening and it has to do with this Nina guy who was posing as Dr. Shi," replied Enishi.

"Why don't we get Chiki, and see Misao and Miki. Maybe once we see how they all act, we'll get an answer," suggested Kaoru.

"Good idea, but its now four o'clock in the morning, you might want to check in this Misao latter in the morning," said Molly, setting her couch. Tora jumped into her lap.

"Sano can get Chiki-chan and somebody can see Misao and Miki in the morning," said Kaoru as she continued to sip her warm tea.

"If we talk to Chester—" Sano was cut off as the phone rang. Getting out of Kenshin's lap, Kaoru walked over to the phone and answered it.

"Kaoru! Tora is gone!" came the panicked voice of Chester.

"She is with Enishi right now," she replied. In the background Sano groaned and said it was Chester.

"Good…listen, all of them are acting up. We have a bat that is bouncing up and down across the floor."

"Calm down; we are looking into that right now."

"Good…I got to go, bat catching. Bye."

"Bye." They hung up and Kaoru but the phone back. "It was Chester, he says that everyone over there is acting up. A bouncing bat even." Kaoru sighed as she went back to Kenshin's welcomed hold.

"My guess it that where going to have to visit Nazika again," said Sano with a groan. "Twice in two days is not my idea of fun."

End Chapter 12

Author's Notes: And this is where the chapters will split from old to new, I never had any real hold of the old ending, it just came (I did like, 9 copies of chapter 14 but the stupid school computer wouldn't let me even have just one of them to keep until I got it done during school, I think). Chester and Jen take care of the "Friends" because they have a lovely farm out in the middle of no where in which they take care of the wild, and non-wild, ones they have collected. The Demon Hunter Organization actually pays them to do this; as well as other Demon centered Organizations that know of the "friends". Sano's "friend" is named Chiki, and Enishi's is named Tora.

If anything else is really confusing, you should the next chapter, the new one will be a lot better then the old one, which had twists and turns every which way. Also, Kenshin's "friend" will show up in the next chapter, a cute little dragon who's name I cannot remember at the moment. ^.^ But on a good note, you will be having a lot to read with this set of chapters, and maybe a the new chapter 13 coming up, and maybe other "new" chapters as well. Thank you to those who are reading and reviewing, and think of this, ask in a review a question on this fic, and I will answer as soon as I can.
