The Wind, The Earthquake and The ESP

Chapter Six

Rain's smiling face took up the black void of Rei's dream.

You saw it, didn't you?

"Yeah, who was that guy?The fire demon?"

It was Hiei's demon form, belive it or not.Rei, I'm just as old as you are, I was born from your mother, inside you.

Rei blinked and looked Rain over, it was ture, they looked the same.

"What about the other colors in my hair, and eye color?"

I didn't say that I was you, just your other half, my mother was inside yours, which is what drove her to be a drunk, it's strange though.

"What is?"

That I haven't been able to talk to since a few days ago, could it be that your letting your guards down because your around friends, allies?

"It's because I'm around my brother, Yusuke's always been able to do that.And, the fact that Koto and Yusuke are alright.Other than my Kaa-san."

Yes, Atsuko's dead isn't she.It's Kimo's fault you know.And more pain and blood is to come, you'll know when it's time.

"Time for what?"

Rei asked, looking at the yellow Puu on Rain's shoulder as the girl put a hand on hers.

"KUU!!"

It cried, hopping onto her own.She laughed and looked at Rain.

Time to fuse.

"Fuse?"

Yes, we'll become one when it's time, the only thing that will change is that your hair will be a bit darker.But theres a key.

"Key?"

Rain laughed.

Yes a key, it's one thing close to you, it's made of a type of glass, or dimond.I have to go, your alarm clock is about to go off.

"Wait, alarm clock? I'm not in my room."

You'll find out.

Rei opened her eyes, aware of the figure next to her.She had fallen asleep next to Hiei after he had woke up around one a.m., the sound of the sink running was what woke her(A/N:They managed to get a plummer,a.k.a. Yusuke, to fix it.) and the fact that she had woken up from another nightmare before he came into the kitchen.She grunted as both Mu and Tenchin jumped on her stomach, Tenchin holding a cup of coffee(A/N:It's the only thing that will send the two of us into a sugar high of sorts.)

"Tenchin, what have I told you, no caffine."

"Sorry!"

Rei growled and tweaked the girls ear, which had somehow slid to the top of her head in a cat fashion, and watched as the other one twitched, a cat tail was wrapped around Tenchin's waist and she had longer, sharper, claw like nails.

"What's the glass thing on your music box?"

Rei's eyes glazed over, the jewel had been made by a type af glass and melted dimond.Her mind was screaming at her for not noticing that earlier.

"It's call a jewel cat girl, now off."

The girl grinned and slid off the fold out couch, running down the hall way dragging Rei with her.

"Look!"

She wispered, pointed at the two lumps under the blanket of ..... Koto's bed.She and Tenchin, their curiosity won them over, poked the blanket, and pulled it back to find Jin and Koto, both half dressed, curled up with their arms around each other. The two girls quitely crept out of the room, dashing different ways after the door shut, Tenchin to Kuwabara/Yusuke's room and Rei back to the living room just as Hiei sat up.

"What happened?"

"We found Koto and Jin in the same bed, Jishin was right when she said that they made a kawaii couple."

She smiled.

"That and Ten-chan's into the caffine, which we were told to keep her out of."

"So she's hyper."

Rei nodded and sat down beside him.

"What's in there?"

"Hm?"

Rei looked down at the locket that was hanging out of her shirt,she fingured the humming bird.

"I'm not sure, I never opened it."

The locket was about the size of the pad of her thumb with a weak golden chain, it had a humming bird and a few flowers on it, the locket itself was the shape of a heart.She blink as Hiei took it from around her neck.

"You won't be able to-"

She stared as he flipped the top open, inside was a picture of a young Atsuko with her and Yusuke, their suppossed father behind the three of them.

"That's Urameshi, the guy who mom was with first that night, and that's Kimo."

She said, pointing at a photo of a young man with shaggy black hair and and blue eyes, the two photo's had been spilt in half so that the other side was empty, but there was one picture in the side.

"T-That's"

Rei was shaking.

"Us."

And it was, a photo of the two of them,Rei's arms wrapped around his neck and his around her waist, Rei's usually hard brown eyes were a soft chocolate brown and Hiei was exactally the same, but in human clothes.

"YEAH!!!!!! SCHOOL IS OUT!!!!!!!"

Kuwabara, Jin, and Yusuke choused, smiling.Rei sighed and shook her head.

"Boys."

"Aww, Come on Nee-chan, lighten up, at least we don't have to go to summer school."

"I guess your right, for once."

"GUYS!!!"

R.K. shouted, running up to them holding, what seemed to be a letter.

"Yukina said to give this to you Rei, I'M BACK IN THE TEMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She smiled and grinned, her stringy pink hair up in a pony tail and brushed for once.

"Good for you."

Rei said, opening the letter.

'Rei-chan,

I need you, Hiei, Yusuke, Kurama, Shizuru, Kazuma, Botan, Koto, Jishin, Jin, Juniper, and Tenchin to come over, somethings wrong, Genkai said she saw a pod falling into the forest.

Please,

Yukina.'

"Alright, guys, find Hiei and Botan and lets get going."

A vein mark appeared one Rei's head as she glared up at the rest of them, they had all been reading over her shoulder.

"DO YOU GUYS MIND?"

She yelled.

Yukina looked over at Genkai.

"It's ture, I did some strange looking pods falling into the forest nearby, I want all of you to pair up and stay on the look out, be sure to stay in a group on your way back, we don't know what these things are."

Rei stood up.

"I agree, they could be new enamies."

The others nodded and left the temple.When they were half way there they split up, Kuwabara, Kurama, Jishin and Shizuru took off to get the guys home. Rei stopped and looked a hole in the brick wall, both Tenchin and Yusuke noticed thid but stayed quite as she walked into the alley, she bit her tounge as she was pressed to the wall, and looked up, the thing holding her was a slimy green oger like demon, no doubt one from the pod.She gasped as it held a hand infront of her cheast, an orb, almost like the one in her box, hovered infront of her, the dark blue color lighting up the alley way, it was enough to get Hiei's attention.

Rei, focus on the jelew in the box, now!

Rei did as Rain told her to, and a dark red light filled the alley way and half of the building she was against.

"Rain."

Was all she could say as she fell to the ground, and once again slipped into the black void.

"Rei."

Yusuke wispered, brushing a stray lock of hair from his twins face, they had found her in the same alley way she had found that one cat in when they were five, it had been the first thing to make her smile in their entire life, the jewel that had been on her box was now on a chain around her neck just above the locket.

"Yus,Yusuk,Yusuke?"

He smiled, rubbing her cheek.

"What happened back there?"

"I was press against the wall by a demon, and the last thing I remember is a birght flash of light and being to focus on something."

Yusuke sighed, it wasn't much help.

"I've got ramen!"

Tenchin smiled, coming nito the room with, well, three bowls of ramen.

"Instant or...."

Rei gulped.

"Instant!"

"Good."

"What, you don't like my ramen Rei-chan?"

Tenchin asked in that sweet voice she used to annoy them.

"Nope."

"Last time I bring you anything."

She growled, taking her bowl to the living room.

"You ok?"

Juniper looked up from her lap.

"No, not at all, you know that dream we've been haing lately?"

"Yeah."

"It's been coming to fast, I fear that this just the begaining of the end."

Tenchin sighed, both she and Juniper where almost diven crazy with ESP.

"I've had ESP since birth, and everything I've seen hasn't always been real. But I trust you. I, too, belive that this is the begaining of the end, for all of us.I'm even starting to belive the heart crystels aren't just a myth from a book."

Hiei looked around, there had been so strange activity in the area he and Rei where in, though the police passed it off as a group of juvnilies in costums, though Rei hadn't said a singel word about that one night.Right now she was sitting on the edge of the roof infront of him with her jagan eye open.

"What is it?"

"What?"

"I said what is it, you've seemed to have a lot on your mind lately."

"Hn."

There was a moments pause.

"Do you know anything about the heart crystels?"

"The heart crytels, sure, but only rare souls have them."

"Like?"

"Element demons, such as Ice, Wind, Fire, Earth and Water.Or ESP driven demons."

"So, for all we know Yukina could be one of the souls?"

"Yeah, if she did they'd be after her, pure, loving and light ones are the most powerful.Her crystel would probally be a light pink if it was."

They looked up as another pod cut threw the shields they had put up around the town and forests.

"Not another one."

"Well, how many can one hold?"

"Atleast twenty dozen."

Rei said, running ahead of him to where her brother and Tenchin were, they did look cute for a couple if you didn't count the fact that Keiko still clung to him.

"Theres more."

Tenchin said, handing the banoculars to Rei, how shook her head.

"I know, about three pods, too."

"We should tell the others."

"No, Juniper and Jishin are sure to notice them, as is Kurama, Shizuru and Koto."

"Fine, but we should at least check it out."

"Fine."

And that left the guys to follow the two.

"Blaze, I'm gonna need some help."

A honey brown haired girl bent over the back of the couch and scanned her brother's homework.

"Jas, you know that, what is 55642 plus 3325?"

"58967?"

"Yep."

Blaze smiled down at her little brother, though he had dark brown hair hair and silver blue eyes they still managed to look alike.Jas's eyes narrowed at the door.

"I'll get it."

Blaze said, her brother turned back to his math homework as she opened the front door.

"Ten-"

"Ineedyoutohelp,thosepodthingsthepolicewheretalkingaboutarn'tinsanes."

Tenchin panted, looking up at the girl who could pass as her sister.

"Ten, say it a bit slower."

"I need you to help, those pod things the police where talking about arn't insanes."

Blaze sighed and looked the girl over, her hair had fallen out of the two pony tails she had had it in and her cat blood was starting to show.

"Fine, Jas, when mom gets home tell her I went for a walk."

"K."

Jas smiled, he knew what his sisters secerets were and knew she didn't want their mother worrying over her.Though at the age of ten he was on his way to being in control of his pyromanic skills. Blaze followed her friend to forest just outside the town, three people where already there.

"This who you had to go get?"

Asked the tallest, from the looks of it he was about fifteen maybe sixteen years old, the other two came to five feet and looked no older than herself.

"Yusuke, that's not a good thing to say."

Snapped the one next to him, the girl.

"I think we should get names first."

Tenchin smiled.

"You've had caffine again, haven't you?"

Blaze sweetdropped already knowing the answer.

"Well, that's-"

"Name's Yusuke Urameshi.And this little know it all's my sister, Rine-OW!"

"My name's Rei, and I'm his twin."

Rei said, pulling her fist back to punch her brother once again.

"That's Hiei and you know who I am."

"So, what's your name?"

"Blaze."

Yusuke laughed.

"Blaze, huh, what's that supposed to stand for?'

"This."

Blaze grinned and held un a fist, and punched Yusuke, the punch left a ball of fire in it's place.

"So your a pyromancer?"

Rei guessed.

"No, just part fire demon, my little brother's the one who's becoming a pyromancer."

Yusuke patted himself down.

"So, what's your last name?"

"Aku."

"And your how old?"

"Fourteen, fifteen this September.And you might not want to turn around."

The blood drained from Tenchin's face as the same thing that had attacked Rei pounced on Blaze, it's slimy green skin burning her friend's as if it were acid on paper. Blaze screamed as an orb was pulled from her cheast, the demon grinned and pushed her body against a tree, then turned to Tenchin and Rei, who's breathing had picked up to about a pant.The demon pounced once again.
