Chapter Six: Home Alone
A/N: Lydia: Were you feeling okay when you wrote the disclaimer? Linda: hehe, just telling the truth!! Lydia: riiight... erm, I think we should just start this chapter Linda: But I have no idea what to write! Lydia: *Shakes head* we'll think of something. Please R&R Linda: hey, wait a sec. why are you so smart-like and I'm stupid-like? It's normally the other way around. Lydia: Are you calling me stupid??? Linda: um... no. Lydia: In that case, it's because we just had SUGAR! And it was all you eating it.
Kurama entered his house to find Yusuke, Keiko, Kuwabara, and Yukina all sitting in the living room. Kuwabara and Yukina were sitting on the couch, while Yusuke and Keiko sat on the love seat. Kurama wondered if they noticed where they were sitting.
"Um. anyone know where Amaya is?" Kurama heard Mitsuko ask from behind him. Kurama looked around, and saw that she was nowhere he could see. He placed his bag down on the floor and walked into the kitchen.
"She's not in here," He said, walking back into the living room. He saw Mitsuko down the hall, knocking on the bathroom door. She shook her head 'no' when he looked at her. Just then, there was a breeze, and Kurama heard Kuwabara jump up screaming. Without turning around, he said, "Where is she, Hiei?"
Before Hiei could answer, Kuwabara made a fist, screaming at Hiei "I TOLD YOU TO STOP DOING THAT!" Hiei just ignored him and walked over to Kurama. However, to Kurama's surprise, he stepped over to the bottom of the stairs.
He then turned back to look at everyone in the living room. "She's in your room, Kurama." He said. For about a minute, no one spoke. Then Yusuke realized what Hiei had said, and spoke up.
"Um. you might want to go get her. Never know what she could be doing." Leaning back, he smiled. Kuwabara had sat back down, adding,
"hehe, yeah who knows what she's doing up there." Mitsuko walked past him, hitting him in the head as she did so. "Hey! What was that for!?!?" She continued to walk forward, but answered him simply.
"Because of your thoughts, baka. Kurama, I'll come up with you to see what she's up to. She is my friend, anyways." And before anyone in the room (besides Kurama and Hiei, who saw it all) could notice, Mitsuko was halfway up the stairs. Hiei turned to Kurama, closing his eyes.
"She's fast. Like you. You know, she still hasn't told us what type of Yokai she is. Be careful, Kurama." A simple 'Hai' came from Kurama as he walked, more slowly, up the stairs to his room. What he saw when he got there was a little disturbing to him.
Amaya had made a dump of his normally perfectly clean room. Books, papers, clothes, everything had been thrown to the floor. Mitsuko was standing a little inside the doorway, staring. Obviously, she knew that this was not the normal state of Kurama's room. "Umm. Amaya? May I ask what you're doing?" Kurama said, finally finding his voice.
Amaya looked up. It seems she hadn't noticed that she people were watching her. She stood up from where she had been looking under the bed, and walked over to them. She placed a hand on the back of her head, an anime sweat drop coming to her face.
"Um. yeah Mitsuko, remember what I promised to you, when we were in our world?" Mitsuko thought for a moment, and then shrugged to Amaya. Amaya, in turn, laughed as though she were embarrassed. "Right, um, I promised you that if we ever were in Kurama's house, I would get you something with his signature for you're." She whispered something into Mitsuko's ear. Kurama stared at Mitsuko, a questioning look on his face. [A/N: Mitsuko has a shrine to Kurama! (Just like me!) lol]
Mitsuko saw him staring, and blushed. "Um. right Amaya, I don't want that anymore. hehe, lets just go down stairs.." And with that she turned around, and walked down stairs. Amaya shrugged, and started to walk past Kurama. But just as she passed, Kurama heard her say 'she likes you' in a whisper. He stood still for a moment, not knowing what to do. He decided just to follow the others downstairs.
When he got downstairs, he saw Yusuke talking to Keiko while the other's listened. "Um. yeah I guess I promised you that when something happened I would tell you, didn't I?" Keiko nodded, a puzzled look on her face.
"Well, this is for the both of you I guess," Yusuke said, looking to Yukina the back to Keiko. "Amaya isn't really my cousin. And Mitsuko isn't really Kurama's cousin." A slight mumble came from near where Mitsuko was standing, but it seemed no one heard it.
"What do you mean, not really your cousins?" Keiko asked, standing up slightly afraid looking.
"There's no reason to be afraid of us, Keiko-chan! We want to be friends with all of you." Keiko looked to Amaya as she spoke.
"Yes, indeed. My real last name is Sagara, and Amaya-chan's real last name is Higurashi. We're Yokai from another realm. Amaya-chan, change back to your normal form please." Mitsuko stepped forward, talking smoothly and calmly.
Keiko, who had been staring at Mitsuko, jumped when she heard the POP come from Amaya's direction. She turned to see Amaya had grown a tail and her ears had changed to look like Juri's from the Dark Tournament.
"So you two. you're the ones that the guys were sent out to capture last night?" She asked, unable to think of anything else to say.
"Yeah we are! Isn't it cool, Keiko-chan?" Amaya stepped forward and sat down on the arm of the loveseat. Keiko sat back down next to Yusuke, unable to speak anymore. From the shadows in the room came Hiei's voice.
"Mitsuko, you never told us what type of Yokai you were. We can tell what type Amaya is, but what are you?" Everyone's eyes were on Mitsuko now as she stood silently in the middle of the room.
"Yes I was wondering that as well." Came Kurama's voice from behind her. Mitsuko looked around at everyone before replying.
"This might come as a surprise, especially to you Kurama. I'm a." she trailed off for a moment before answering. "I'm a Fox Yokai. Once I was a fox Yoko, but I've changed over the years."
No one in the room moved for ten minutes. Although it seemed like a century to Kurama, who for once in his life couldn't think of something intelligent to say. He just stood there, staring at Mitsuko. Only Kuwabara's stupidity could break the silence.
"So you're a fox girl like Kurama?" He asked, holding on to Yukina's hand. Mitsuko nodded to him. "Great, another person to keep Eikichi from." Came Kuwabara's voice.
"Kuwabara! I don't eat kittens! And neither does Kurama, if you haven't noticed yet." She then turned to Kurama. "May I go get myself a drink?" she asked. He didn't protest, so she walked into the other room. Amaya mumbled something about also being thirsty, and followed her.
"So we've got another kitsune on our hands, do we? No big deal. right?" Yusuke said; half for his own confidence, half a question to the others. No one answered him, so he just sat back and stared at the ceiling.
Kurama heard someone whisper behind him, in a voice that the humans wouldn't be able to hear, "So you've got a new friend, fox." And with that, Kurama could no longer feel Hiei's spirit energy in the room.
Just then, Amaya popped her head though the doorway. She said something about going for a walk, and Yusuke nodded. She turned to leave, but just before she had shut the door, Kurama spoke. "Don't forget to loose the tail." And then she was gone.
"Um. why is everyone so quiet? They're still our friends, even if they are Yokai. They seem really nice, so let's continue to be friends with them, okay everyone?" Yukina had spoken in her gentle little voice. Kurama sighed, and Kuwabara mumbled something in agreement.
Back in the kitchen, Mitsuko wasn't feeling so good. "I shouldn't have told them! They weren't ready for it, why did I tell them?" Amaya entered the kitchen, walked over to the refrigerator and got a drink.
"They wouldn't be ready in a thousand years if you gave them the time. Mitsuko-chan, you'll be fine. Just because they now what type of Yokai you are, doesn't mean they are suddenly going to be mean to you." She took a sip of her drink, sitting down at the table across from Mitsuko.
"Still, I should have waited. Maybe told Koenma and let him tell them. Oh I don't know but I shouldn't have told them so soon! Now Kurama is going to try to stay away from me, I know he will. Darn it, I didn't want this to happen like this!" Mitsuko began to sob, so Amaya stood up and walked over to her.
Hugging her friend, Amaya whispered, "Everything will be fine. Kurama isn't the type to stop talking to someone just because of who they are. Trust me, just wait until tomorrow at school. You'll see." Then she stood up, walked out of the room and into the room were everyone else was.
"Hey you guys. I think we are going to go out for a little while. We'll be back in an hour or two, okay?" Amaya said, popping her head through the door. Yusuke nodded, and Amaya began to leave. But just before the door was fully shut, she heard Kurama said,
"Don't forget to loose the tail." She was grateful for this, because she hadn't remembered until he said that. She changed her form, informed Mitsuko of where they were going, and headed towards the door to get outside. Mitsuko followed her, and the two girls went out for a walk.
A/N: Linda: I rock I got a parakeet! Lydia: Yeah and we had to spend all day doing nothing in our room to get it used to us. Linda: So? We got a parakeet! And besides, we can't go on the computer downstairs to load this for a couple days anyway. Lydia: WHY?!?!?! Linda: Because parents are doing taxes. And we can't go on the computer while they do taxes. Lydia: @#$%. Linda: LYDIA!
