Halloween is almost here and my costume is almost done. It is perfect. It
looks almost exactly like the outfit Kurama wore for his battle with
Karasu. Enough about me, let's get on with the story. Quick note first:
This is mostly from the second person POV of Angel.
'They'll see, they'll all see. Anyone that ever doubted me or my power will pay.' Such were the thoughts of the very disturbed teenager known by the name Hishi. She was standing on the roof of the school just after the announce reminders to go to IGS[homeroom].
"Ish loch quattuor fluvius insulae..." she chanted as dark clouds began to circle over the school. She drew out a knife and cut a deep gash in the palm of each of her hands. Then, she raised her arms and let the blood flow down her body. As soon as it touched the school, there was a bolt of lightning and Hishi was thrown backwards.
* * * * * * * Meanwhile, downstairs all the students were filing to there rooms, completely unaware of what was going on around them, let alone something happening on the roof. And in Room 122, a group of Yu Yu Hakusho characters were complimenting each other on their costumes and discussing the usual things like copying each others homework and how they were coming up with the money to hire an assassin to kill their "List" of hated teachers... same stuff as any normal high school students.
"Fay, that was such a good idea to come as the young Genkai," Angel commented.
"Thanks, I was going to go as the old version, but then I was watch that old Halloween episode of Buffy where Ethan Rayne turned them all into their costumes and I thought better safe than sorry. I mean the only change it required was the hair dye which I hadn't bought yet anyway."
"Which reminds me, I have to go fill this up at the fountain," Angel held up a strange shaped bottle with a weird bulb inside. They all gave her a funny look. "It's gonna be my bottle of juice from the Tree of Former Life," she explained.
"Oh," they all said. She left the room to fill the bottle with the stuff from the fountains that could very well be juice from the Tree of Former Life, for all anybody's been willing to risk tasting it.
AS soon as she returned, bottled in hand, the lights blinked out. Because it was still early morning, only 7:30, it still dark out so there was very little light to see by. The lights came back on a moment later, but something had changed. Angel felt different. She looked down and for some reason, her chest looked flatter... She had wrapped her chest up tightly so her breast would be less prominent, but they hadn't looked that realistic. She ran her had down her chest and it was completely flat. No, scratch that, it had defined muscle, but not large enough to be her own. She ran her hand down a little farther and she was no certain that things were not as they were before the lights went off.
She looked at Aifa, who had gone as Hiei, but Aifa was not standing in front of her. It was actually Hiei. She/he also seemed to be discovering that something was amiss. She looked at the other three people in their group (who had gone as their own gender!) And didn't see Jon-boy the jokester, Donny the Hispanic football player, and Fay the pacifist. No, she saw, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Genkai.
"Ah, guys, I think something weird happened," Donny/Kuwabara spoke first. Before anyone else could comment on that rather obvious statement, the room, along with the rest of the school burst into chaos. Confused students and teachers in the form of monsters, ghost, vampires, several Harry Potter's, Frodo Baggins', and an odd assortment of other creatures and carcasses frantically ran through the hallways.
"Studio, now!" Jon/Yusuke decided to assume his role as "leader" of the group. They all ran upstairs to the theater art studio which was right at the top of the stairs and right across from cafeteria 2. They knew they would space to think in there because they had thought enough to put what they liked to call their "Vampire Warding Spell" on it prior to this event. Basically, it kept any unwanted people, creatures, etc., from entering uninvited.
"What's that your carrying, Fay?" Angel/Kurama asked when she noticed a rather large pumpkin in Fay'Genkai's arms.
"It's Brittany! She decided it would be cute to be a pumpkin for Halloween," she seemed very... not happy.
"What are we going to do?!" Aifa/Hiei exclaimed. "We have to try to maintain order without killing anyone. Plus we have to try to fix this."
"Why don't we try joining up with the people who came as like Harry Potter and superheroes and all those other kinds of people who could help us?" Jon/Yusuke suggested.
"They probably already have their hands full..." Angel/Kurama reasoned. " I do have an idea to keep the rest of the city safe."
"What?"
"A barrier around the school, I have the perfect plant. Don't ask me how I know that... But I may need more power than just Shuuichi... thank the gods I made a bottle of juice from the Tree of Former Life..."
"Are you sure you should be using that up in the first mod of the day?" Fay/Genkai asked wisely.
"I'll only use a little bit... Fuckers, I just realized Himitsu is Karasu."
"I never thought I'd ever see Kurama say 'fuckers'," Donny/Kuwabara seemed easily distracted.
"Now I see why Hiei makes fun of Kuwabara all the time... "Aifa/Hiei commented dryly.
"Hey man, I am try to distract myself from the fact that I am no longer Donny *L______," he defended.
"Dude, I'm a dude," he/she countered.
"Dude, I just saw Hiei say 'dude'," Jon/Yusuke was catching the syndrome.
"Can everyone just stop?" Fay/Genkai had to be the voice of reason. "We have a crisis situation on our hands. Let's try to deal with it like adults."
"But we're teenagers... Now youkai teenagers," Jon/Yusuke wanted to be difficult and give Genkai a hard time.
"We have to try to use this to our advantage. Use our character's knowledge of... themselves and our knowledge of what's going on. But remember, we have to try to not get absorbed by it. We're already starting to. If that happens to the rest of the school, this world is in a lot of trouble," Angel/Kurama said, trying , but barely managing to follow her own advice of not getting absorbed by Kurama. "I'll go put up the barrier and try to subdue as many as I can."
"I think we should stick together," Jon/Yusuke said. "We did in Maze Castle and we won. We are not the Scooby gang."
"It was not US in Maze Castle," Aifa/Hiei said, brining his attention to what he was saying.
Kurama/Angel took a sip from the jar and walked cautiously out the door, followed by the rest of the group. It was a very good thing he/she had been careful, because there was someone just outside the door that no one would want to bump into, literally.
"Hello, Kurama," Karasu/Himitsu drawled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I know many of you hate cliffies as much as I do, but I needed something good to end the chapter with. Expect the next update hopefully Thursday. It will be an action-packed chapter.
