(Okay, here you go the last 'chapter' of In The Nut House. Like I said in the previous chapter, I am going to revise the whole fic and place it as a revised version. I will let you know when I will be posting it. You can also check out my bio and I will put updates of fics on it, too.)
(Authoress Note: this chapter I think is just pointless, but I was bored an wrote it any ways. Well, the beginning is what I originally planed to post but I thought that it was too short and decided that I should make it longer. So, I did ^_^ )
Epilog: Afterwards: The Party
It had been about a month since I met everyone.
I had hung around the team every once and a while. Koenma had made me a 'part' of the team, but I didn't go unless I felt like it. Which wasn't very often, but when a case sounded really fun, I excited to go with them. I mostly talked with the girls or fight with Shorty. I won nine out of ten times. Since, I was Botan's helper, I did have to help her out once and a while. Which I didn't mind, some of the people that she delivered, was interesting to hear about their stories.
The boys to this day never found out about the trick that the girls and I played on them. One thing that surprised me is that Botan had not spilled the beans yet, and when she does, I began to wonder if they would ever do and what would happen to me. I couldn't fight all five of them at once, well, I can, but they wouldn't last very long and that would be no fun.
I lived at my house, in the demon world, but I mostly stayed in the human world. My mom never mined me staying down there. She would often come and hang out with us. She wasn't the kind of mother that embarrassed you in public; in fact she acted and looked like one of us girls. When I would stay in the human world, I would stay at either Keiko's or Shizuru's house.
I was enrolled at Keiko's school as Yusuke's distant cousin from out of state. This wasn't a lie. Somewhere down our line, they cross, I don't know where, but I know they do. Like Yusuke, I didn't show up very often, but when I did, I knew every answer that the stupid teachers threw at me, hehehe I had my way to find out if I didn't know what it was. I'll explain later. Keiko didn't yell at me when I didn't show, but she knew that I was a good student and let me off. When the kids heard that I was Yusuke's cuz, they left me alone, but the gangs' wouldn't leave me alone. They thought that I was another bully for them to pick on, but they soon learned that it was a bad idea to mess with me.
One hard thing that I had to do when I was in school, or anywhere in public, is not to get too angry or happy because my tail would sway. So, I kept it around my waist, which started a new trend. Almost all of the girls wore furry belts. I know what you are all saying, 'why don't you use your powers?' well, I would but when I do I would fall asleep afterwards from erasing at the least five people. I will admit I did use it when only a few people noticed but that was all. Don't worry, another thing that I'll tell about later is why all the girls wear the belts.
About every weekend, the girls and I would go over to someone's house and watch the tape. When one of us was done, we would go to the Spirit World in the same room as we watched the boys and played the tape, but this time we were in it instead of our copies.
Kurama was nice to me, and I liked talking with him. Yusuke was the person that I like to fight with. Shorty learned that I was one cat that you don't want to mess with, Kuwabaka also learned this too. At lease, I think he did. He's too weird and scary to try and argue with him. Like one of my favorite quote says: 'Never mess with an idiot. They would drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. (Unknown author)'
Today was just like any other day. I woke up, went to Keiko's house to go shopping for my birthday, but on my way, I was stopped. I felt something coming close. I froze, trying to sense where it was coming from. I realized that it was just Botan, and continued walking. I didn't want to make Keiko wait, although we are friends now, I didn't like to deal with her when she was mad.
"Katsumi?" I had heard someone yell. I turned to look in their direction.
"Oh, hi Botan. What's up?" I asked watching her land.
"I wanted to give you a birthday present," she happily told me. "Here hold out you arm and close your eyes." I did as she told me. "There you go," she told me.
I opened my eyes and looked at what she placed on my wrist. I was shocked no one has ever given me a present like this before. It was beautiful. It was silver and had colorful gems around it that changed colors when I moved my wrist.
"Thank you so much, Botan. I didn't think that anybody remembered. I never have gotten a gift like this before," I cried giving her a huge hug and looked at the bracelet again.
"This is so that you can use your powers here in the human world with out getting tired. It would be like you were in the demon or spirit world. Your mother, Koenma even though he didn't like the idea that much, and I thought that you should be able to have some fun. Don't worry, Koenma thinks that you have it so that you could fight in the human world with out sleeping after attacking someone," she explained to me. "Well, what we told Koenma is true, but your mom and I thought you was responsible enough to use your powers wisely," she snickered.
"Why did you have to tell that pacifier junky?" I questioned.
"You see, those gems are the power source, and the only place that you can find them is you have to asked Koenma for them."
"Oh, okay. I love it," I said to her with a smile.
"I forgot. The boys have another mission, and they need your help. Don't worry, I know that you are going to have fun," she told me before making her oar appear and jumping on. I nodded made my oar appear and followed her.
"Botan, do you know what it is that they have to do?" I asked flying next to her.
"I think I heard Koenma saying that there is nine thick headed demons that had gotten together," she smiled over to me. "Well, only about three are thickheaded, one is stupid, a sly one, then there was one that nobody really listens too and the rest helps keep the peace between them."
"So, what else is new?" I chuckled. "Well, there was never nine, but that does make things more fun. They sound like the Spirit detectives. Thickheaded ones are Kuwabake, Yusuke, and Hiei. The stupid one is of course Kuwabake. I'm the sly one, Koenma is the one that nobody listens too. And Kurama and the girls would be the peace keepers."
I heard her give a snicker. We flew for what seemed to me about ten minutes. I really wanted to get the information about the nine Kuwabaka's trying to take over the world, so that I could have fun tricking them.
We arrived in the Spirit World. Botan led the way to the baby's office. When we stepped in, I wasn't expecting it to be dark. I thought that it was a trick, and everyone was hiding, but I couldn't sense any one.
"Okay, Botan. What are you planing? Where is everyone?" I asked her giving her a 'come on, I think I know what is going on' look. I rolled my eye's over to where she was standing. I wanted to read her mind, but I didn't want to. Something inside me said don't. As I started to roll my eye's back to the room, the light's came on, and I was covered in confetti. After the cheering and everything, I was able to get a better look around.
Everyone was there, even shorty, but he was standing against the wall as he normally does with his arms crossed over his chest. Yusuke and Kuwabaka were arguing as always, while Kurama was trying to stop them. Shizuru, Keiko, Yukina, and my mom were talking to each other. Botan and I were talking. Also, I noticed the baby was in his teen form and was stamping papers, as he always did.
The party was fun. There was cake of every flavor imaginable, ice cream the same, games, and gifts.
I had gotten shirts, some gag gifts from the girls, like some cat toys and such, a sword from shorty, which was surprising to me and apparently everyone else. He told me that he gave it to me so that I could fight him properly. I also had gotten a compact from Yusuke; well he gotten that from the baby, but Yusuke gave it to me. The baka had given me his word to protect me, which I kindly took, but I told him that I didn't need it. Of course, he was stupid and didn't believe me, so, naturally I showed him. I didn't thank him for the gift.
This was the best birthday I had ever had. I was sitting in the same room with all of my friends. Yes, I truly had found friends. Well, Botan was right. We did have a mission. We were trying to get together. All of us, three thickheaded, one stupid, one sly, one that nobody paid that much attention too, and the rest trying to keep the peace. I loved how she could keep secrets. Well, she could, but she always found away to tell me.
(Authoress Note: Well, this fic is finally done. It's my first fic that I finished and has the most reviews with the most I might add. Okay, this is more like an advertisement for my fics. If you like DBZ then you should check out my first fic called One's Envy. And that one is almost done, but I won't finish until I get a review. That fic I was planning to have a series called Envious. If you really like my character Kat and my fic then you should check out my bio I'll put up when the fic is going to show up it will be about this chapter and Kat's life before and after she met the team. So, check and keep your eyes open. I am also going to have a small contest. I need some help on coming up with a title for the fic. Actually, what do you guys think about A Kitty's Quest? Also, don't forget about my revised version of this fic.
Okay, I did kind of lied to you all. There is going to be another chapter but it's going to be all of my thank yous to my lovely reviewers. So, if you see the thingy green and you look and there isn't a new chapter then it's probably just any update on the reviewers' page.)
