Chapter 4
Back on Earth The gang sat in as circle in Kurama's house. "But it make's no sense! Fusko wouldn't only try to get Kuwabara. He didn't even look at me. Do I taste bad or something?" Wailed Cala. Even though she was out of school she could still hitch a fit. "Well I can tell you that it has nothing to do with your taste, I have Koenma looking over at the books. Do you remember anything about when you fell? Any strong feelings or thoughts?" Botan asked. "Umm.. well the first time I fell I jumped into the water I was scared but I was thinking about that time you came to the restaurant and asked for Kurama to come. I was thinking about who Kurama was." "Then you went to Makia. The other time?" "I Don't remember.it was how I felt the water. I thought that it had brought me somewhere before so I'd try again.. Then I felt the rush and thought how not even." She trailed off dazed. "What happened?" "I thought that not even Kuwabara would do something like that.." Suddenly Botan's communicator went off. Koenma. "Hello Sir. Oh really. Will Do. Good bye." Botan looked over to Cala. "Is there a possibility that you could be a demon?" Cala looked at her feet. "Well. I do know that I'm adopted. I've known that all my life. I guess that there is a possibility that I'm a demon but how come nothing happened before?" She thought a minute. "It's my birthday today. I turned 18 the day of my graduation. That has to be it." "Bingo. You fit the description Koenma sent to me. But I'm not sure yet. I'll have to check some files but I've got a pretty good guess that you're a water demon. A special kind called a Siren. But I will check it out." "What am I supposed to do now? I'm practically homeless and I've got no money. Now I have to be a demon too?" "Hmm. Well I need to find a place too. My mother is sick and she needs space. I will be willing to pay for a part of rent or mortgage." Said Kurama. "Then it's settled. You'll go house hunting right now. Bye!" Said the ever perky Botan. She shoved them out the door and down the street. Kurama looked around. "So do we know where any houses are?" "Not really. I know that there are some abandoned buildings on the other side of town. I was thinking of renovating some of them. I don't think that you would have to buy them. But it wouldn't help to keep it a secret for the time being." Kurama smiled and agreed. They walked to the buildings and were amazed to find a church in near perfect conditions. "Well this is the best we can do for now." They both agreed to move into it by Friday. Kurama had to go back to tell his mother the good news. Cala wandered around the building and was delighted to see a tiny spring in the back. Maybe she would just try it one more time. Sticking her hand in she thought of how her cat would be hungry by now. SNAP Well that worked. She was sitting right next to her cat. But the bad thing was her cat was on the roof. She slid down on her butt. Then she was lifted into the trees by a black flash. Hiei. "Ah..Hiei right? Thank you. I got transported to the right spot at the wrong time." "Hn." "I'll take that as a 'Your Welcome'. Do you want to come in? You could have something to eat." "Hn." "Well come on then." She jumped the 15 feet and landed on the feet. "What? I took gymnastics for 7 years. You think I would learn something." They walked into Cala's house and she grabbed a box of chocolate ice cream. "Here. My mom uses this stuff for ice cream cakes for her bakery so we have a ton." But this was the first time Hiei's attention was on something other than the ice cream. He stepped towards her and pushed her into the wall making her drop the ice cream. "I don't feel like sweet snow." He kissed her and bit her tongue. She swallowed the metallic taste and pulled away. Surprise was written all over her face. His eyes darted around her and darted away. "Well what was that all about?" Asked a strange voice Cala turned and saw her mother. "Umm..Hi mom." "What were you doing? Alone in the house with a boy? He looked younger than you too. I can't believe you would do this. What kind of a 16 year does soemthing like this?" "Mom I'm 18. I can do stuff like this." "Well no matter if you are going to break rules like this then I want you out of here." "FINE!" They were yelling at each other now. Cala ran up to her room and took out the things that she needed and wanted in her room. She found her cat and locked it in the bathroom so she could just "water" herself back here. With a couple garbage bags full of junk she turned on the sink and thought of the mice that lived in the church. She did this various times till her room was empty. Holding a cup full of water she sat down on her bed. 'I wish I could see those mice again.' Then she was there in the room she would make her bedroom with everything she would need for the next month or so. She had thoughtfully loaded her bed with cleaning supplies and rags so she could clean up the place. She scrubbed the floors with Lemon Juice and Water for hours till her back seemed to be stuck in that place. Sighing she laid down on her bed and took a long nap. Waking up to sunlight she looked around. Boxes. That was it. That was the only thing left of her life anymore. Stretching Cala started to unpack bags. 'It's strange. I never would have thought a church would have this many rooms. Wait a minute. I never did look at all the rooms. Jesus I might be in the middle of the church right now.' Wandering around she found that there were two levels. Each one was separated into smaller rooms. Two rooms on the top floor and a huge closet. Downstairs was a pantry, confessional and a few small rooms. Then there was the main room. With stained glass on every side and Rich Velvet drapes. There were maple benches with plush seats. 'Im surprised that this place is still intact. It looks like it would have been striped down to nothing. She thanked the Lord that the church was saved and marched upstairs to start cleaning. When she was done she was left with a clean bright house with furniture and candles. She had looted the place for anything of use. She was tempted to look at some of the other buildings. She knew that she would get the creeps tonight but face it she was in an abandoned town inside a church all alone. Sighing yet again she took up a rag and started to clean the clear glass window of the door. She saw Kurama and Hiei walking down the road. She smiled and simply brushed the memory about Hiei away. Besides it hadn't been that bad. Opening the door she ran out to them. "Kurama! Hiei! How are you? You came early too? Good." Having not talked to anyone for a day she was in neglect mode. "Coem on hurry up I cleaned it up." The gaped at the sparkles and the floors. "And I even put a small tub in the back but I figured we'd use the springs any ways. And in the forest behind here are berrys and roots that I can use. Its perfect!" Kurama smiled and Hiei smirked "Been alone too long?" "well if you would have come sooner you could have helped." "I came three days early to clean this place up but it looks like you beat me." "I got kicked out of my house a little sooner than expected." Hiei smikred yet again and walked upstairs with a box of Kurama's belongings.
