Chapter 2: Miscalculations
Nikole awoke to the morning, yawned and started to stretch. Then she froze, remembering the 'guests' in her house. ~I'll have to leave some food in their reach, and drinks....o man better get ready for school!~
She rushed to put on her school uniform- she went to a catholic private school. The spring outfit was simple- pleated gray skirt, white short sleeved blouse, white socks with black mary janes, and the traditional black bookbag. Nikki pulled her hair from her face with a black ribbon and rushed into the kitchen. Her mom had already left for work. ~That makes it easier for me.~ She made some scarmbled eggs and left some on a plate, with doll cups full of milk and orange juice. "Hiei! Yusuke! You can come out, my mom's gone."
A black blur reached the table first. "Showoff," Yusuke muttered a few more seconds later, out of breath. Nikki pointed to the plate. "That should last you for lunch too, but in case, I'll leave a cupboard open. my mom gets home at around 3, which is before me, so stay out of sight. Ok?"
"Hn," Hiei and Yusuke said through mouthfull of eggs. Nikki smiled. "See ya this afternoon!"
*****
"So....how's it goin'?" Melissa asked in Japanese at school, as they walked to homeroom together.
"Not bad," Nikki replied in the same language. "They were eating when I left. I warned them that my mom gets home before me, so they should be ok."
"Hi Nikki! Hi Melissa! Wait up!" Someone called in normal english. The both turned and waited for their red-headed friend to catch up.
"Hello Kyla," they chorused at the same time. Kyla was shorter than Melissa and taller than Nikki, had flaming red hair, sky blue eyes and tons of freckles. Overall, she was a really good student but shy, which is why Melissa and Nikki befriended her. Now, she was friendly with practically everyone.
"Good morning," Diane greeted the trio as they entered homeroom. Her brown hair was braided today and her green eyes sparkled. "Morning," the trio chorused, taking their assigned seats. Melissa was in front of Nikki....and the day went semi-normally from there.
***
Nikki stared anxiously at the sky before walking into ther apartment. The sky was full of thick gray clouds. ~I hope it doesn't rain...~
" 'Kaasan! I'm home!" she yelled to her mother (who was in the kitchen) while running back to her room. She threw her bookbag on her bed, and then walked out to the kitchen. "What's for dinner?"
"I brought home chicken and rice, is that ok?" she asked, setting two plates down on the table.
Tina Takeuchi was also short like her daughter, slim, and very pretty. Her blonde hair was soft and shiny and her brown eyes sparkled.
"That's great, mom. Um....can I eat in my room? I have a lot of homework today, Sister Yoshida was in a bad mood."
"Of course, sweetheart. Eat at your desk, not your bed!!"
"Hai, mom."
She grabbed her plate and chopsticks, and carefully walked to her room. After listening for her mom- whom, she knew, was going to eat in the living room and watch the news-she got Yusuke and Hiei's glasses and detoured by her brother's room. "Boys! Dinner!" she hissed. Hiei jumped down from his perch on the windowsill, and Yusuke woke up from his nap. "Huh? Nani?"
"Shhhhh," Hiei and Nikki said at the same time. They traveled to her room to eat dinner.
***
"So, we're going to go out in the middle of the night just to perform this ritual thing?" Yusuke asked. He was sitting up against Nikki's desk lamp, Hiei was on top of the desk lamp, and Nikki was sprawled out on her bed.
"Yup! And it'll get you two home."
"It's supposed to rain," Hiei stated suddenly. Nikki looked at him disbelievingly. "No way!"
"Hn. Don't believe me? You're 'Kaasan's watching the ningen weather report right now."
"Shimatta!!" she cursed, racing out to the living room. She was back a moment later, angry, and picked up her phone and dialed Melissa's number.
"Moshi moshi, Tachikawa residence," a girl said coyly.
"Michiru, put Lissa on NOW."
"Oh, it's you," Michiru said, disgruntled. The phone clattered on the table; Nikki could hear her shouting "Melissa! PHONE!"
There was a click and a clatter- "Konnichi wa?"
"Melissa Marie Tachikawa, have you watched the weather?" Nikki asked sternly. Melissa giggled at her tone of voice. "Iie, why?"
"It's going to rain! We can't hold the ritual!"
Melissa gasped. "Nuh-uh! But- I checked--" she looked at her calander and smacked herself on the forehead. "Oh NO! I was checking the weather of LAST week! I'm sooo sorry! I feel so stupid!" she wailed. Nikki sighed across the line. "It's ok. We'll have to do it at the half moon then- we can't afford to wait for the new moon."
"That sounds good." Sounds of shouting were heard in the background. "Oh, got to go. The duo of doom are at it again. Ja!"
"Ja!" Nikki replied. She 'hmph'ed to the now dead phone and glanced at Yusuke and Hiei as thunder rumbled outside. "Great! Now I get to hide two anime characters for two more weeks. And to top it all off, a thunderstorm! Just what i wanted," she said sarcastically before burying her face in her pillow. Yusuke and Hiei wisely left the room.
***
Author's summary: so, for the next two weeks, they settled into a semi- routine: Breakfast, she'd leave for school. they'd amuse themselves until lunch, haul the plate to the sink so she wouldn't get yelled at, and amuse themselves for the afternoon. Kaasan would get home, she'd start dinner. Nikki'd get home, eat dinner in dining room or her room, but always save some for Hiei and Yusuke. Talk time, then bed. Evenings were sometimes punctuated by visits from Melissa, who apologised profusely for a while.
Everything went normally, except for a few close encounters between Tina and her son's room. For some reason, Nikole was obsessed with cleaing it herself. Tine shrugged it off.
