Charmed and Dangerous! : Movie + Dinner = Disaster!

When they reached the theater, Sapphire started looking nervously around. She had a major headache. Hiei, who was walking beside her, noticed that she didn't look very comfortable. Crystal wasn't much better.

'I HATE being an empath!' Crystal thought trying to keep everyone's emotions out of her head.

Hiei tried to read Sapphire's mind and found at least ten different voices in there.

'Her telepathy. She still can't control it. She didn't get it until a month ago.' He decided to ask her. "Are you okay, Sapph?" He whispered.

"Mhhm." She nodded, with a fake smile. She still couldn't think very clearly.

"Sure." Hiei said, still not believing her.

Sapphire walked up to the ticket booth and said, "Six for Ghost Ship, please." She knew not many people would be there. They walked in, got some popcorn and found the room labeled "Ghost Ship".

They walked down the aisle of the theater, and sat down in the middle right side. The seat arrangement, from wall to aisle, was Kuwabara, Yusuke, Crystal, Kurama, Sapphire and Hiei on the end.

During the movie, Crystal would let out a little squeak every now and then and grab onto Kurama's arm, who would in turn, smirk. Sapphire jumped a couple times, but that was it. Hiei kept an eye on her to be sure she was okay. At the end of the movie, Kuwabara ran out of the theater screaming, "MOOOOOOOMMYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!"

The movie let out at 5:00pm and they found Kuwabara outside, in the fetal position, rocking back and forth and sucking his thumb.

"Baka baby." Hiei said as he walked by.

"Hehehe!" Sapphire giggled as she walked past. Crystal wanted to laugh, but she could feel Kuwabara's fear. She shivered, and walked away. Kurama tried not to laugh, which is the exact opposite of Yusuke, who grabbed Kuwabara and helped him up, laughing all the way.

"Yay! Dinner! I'm hungry!" Crystal smiled.

~~

They reached the door of the seafood restaurant and walked to the door. Sapphire hesitated but went in anyways. Crystal felt her sister's sharp pain and grabbed onto Kurama's shirt. He stopped, and then Crystal grabbed on to Hiei. Both looked at her, a little confused, well, Hiei's was more irritation. Hiei glanced back at the door and saw Yusuke and Kuwabara following closely to Sapphire. He didn't like the baka and the spirit detective so close to her for some reason. He probably just didn't want her to catch their stupidity.

"What do you want?" Hiei snapped, turning to Crystal, who was slightly leaning on Kurama for support after another sharp wave of pain overtook her.

"We . . . can't let her go in there." She said.

"Why not, Crys?" Kurama said, using her nickname.

She smiled slightly at the sound of the name, and then said, "I'm an empath. I keep feeling her pain, pain at all of the voices in her head. She's only just discovered her telepathy, she can't control it!" Crystal said. She winced as another roll of pain took over.

"Just because you're feeling pain doesn't mean she is. She's stronger than you. Let's go in anyways." Hiei said, turning and walking in.

Crystal glared, then walked in after him, Kurama next to her.

They walked in and Sapphire was standing there. "I was getting ready to send out the search party! Let's go!"

They sat down at the table. Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei were across from Crystal, Yusuke, and Sapphire. Hiei looked at the girl across from him. She had pain on her face, and deep in her royal blue eyes. Kurama glanced at Crystal who was rubbing her temples in pain. Sapphire could hear EVERYONE'S voices. And their thoughts. Those two combined was starting to be so much that she couldn't tell the difference between them. Crystal felt the wave of pain that Sapphire felt, and thought, 'Oh shit!' She looked worriedly over at her sister, who stood up from the table. Sapphire, as soon as she stood, couldn't take the pain anymore, she started to scream.

She crumpled to her knees, holding her head, and screaming. Tears of pain fell onto the floor. Crystal climbed over Yusuke to her sister. But, as she was about to touch her sister's shoulders, she felt her powers take over.

She tried to hold back the scream, but couldn't. She fell away from her sister, and put herself into the fetal position and started to scream into her knees. In an instant, Hiei jumped over Kuwabara and grabbed onto Sapphire's shoulders. He pulled her into his embrace and started to use his own clear mind to take away some of the voices.

Kurama jumped up and Youko took over.

He picked up Crystal and pulled her into his lap. Crystal struggled, screaming and crying at the same time. The pain was too much for her. Youko started to glow with spirit energy. He willed his aura to surround Crystal, his calm soul calming hers. Her screams subsided, and she slumped over and fell into a deep sleep in Youko's arms. She snuggled deeper into his arms, and her tears stopped. Youko looked longingly at his soon-to-be mate.

Meanwhile, Hiei pulled of his headband to reveal his jagan eye, which began to glow. Hiei put his free hand over Sapphire's forehead and closed his eyes in concentration. He was able to use his jagan to remove a couple of the voices from Sapphire's overwhelmed mind. However, there was so much confusion in her mind that he could only push out some. He growled in frustration and said to Youko, "We have to get them out of here!" Hiei scooped up the screaming Sapphire and dashed out of the restaurant, faster than one could blink. Youko gently stood with the still sleeping Crystal in his arms.

"You two stay here and clean up this mess." He told the two boys that were still at the table.

Then he dashed out after Hiei, leaving Kuwabara and Yusuke in his dust.

The two demons reached Equistrian High and the girls' penthouse. Crystal was still sleeping in Youko's arms, as he had used his power to completely soothe her pain. Sapphire on the other hand was still in very much pain, but she had stopped screaming. Her screams had turned into small whimpers and tears.

Hiei thrust open the door and ran Sapphire to her room. Youko slowed to a walk and looked down at Crystal. Apparently she wasn't completely better because she started to wince a little. He walked her to her room and gently laid her on her bed.

'She is so beautiful.' Youko thought as he stroked her cheek. 'When she wakes up, we should tell her that we love her.' He thought as he picked up her hand. Youko sat down next to Crystal on the bed, watching her sleep.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

Hiei had laid Sapphire on far left side of the bed near the wall where her pillows were. He then laid down next to her and put an arm around her shoulders. He went into her mind and found there were still voices in her mind. Sapphire started to cry a little from the pain left over. Hiei pushed out the remaining voices and cleared her mind long enough for her to fall asleep. He then recovered his jagan and sighed.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

Youko had laid down on the bed next to Crystal, exhausted from keeping this form and from using most of his spirit energy to calm her. He decided he could afford to sleep for a while.

~~ Crystal's Dream ~~

"Mom?" Crystal asked. The world was covered in fog, and she saw a figure ahead of her. The figure nodded, "Yes, honey." It said.

The figure outstretched their arms.

"I've missed you so much!" Crystal called, hugging the figure that was her mother.

"Hehehe! I see you're falling for a certain kitsune. He seems to love you as well." Her mother said.

"What? How would you know that?"

"I'm an empath, too. You should tell him how you feel. He's very handsome, you know. Especially in his Youko form!" Her mother giggled and Crystal blushed. "And those ears! They are so cute."

"I do like him, but how should I tell him?" Crystal asked.

"Hmm. You should let him say his feelings first."

"Okay!" Crystal smiled.

"My job here is done. I'll visit you sometime, in your dreams. I'll be with you always! I love you, and tell Sapph that I love her as well!" Her mother shouted as she disappeared.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Normal View ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

"Goodbye . . ." Crystal muttered softly in her sleep. Tears started to fall. At the sudden sound, Youko awoke. He looked at Crystal as she snuggled into his chest. Youko smiled and put an arm around her, pulling her even closer.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

Hiei looked around the room. Sapphire had multiple pictures of herself at horse shows and events. Ribbons and trophies adorned her room.

"You truly are magnificent." He mumbled. He felt her tense suddenly and his attention went back to her. Then, just as suddenly, she relaxed. She moved even closer to him. He smiled and hugged her.

Sapphire's eyes fluttered open, and she looked up at Hiei. She smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

Sapphire's stomach growled and Hiei smirked. "Hungry?" He asked. He stood up and helped Sapphire out to the living room.

"Hiei, could you put in the DVD called 'The Triangle'?" Sapphire said. She walked into the kitchen and made some popcorn. When she returned, Hiei was stomping on the DVD case.

Sapphire giggled. "Having troubles?"

"Hn."

She giggled and put the DVD in. They sat down on the couch and started watching the movie. After about fifteen minutes, Kurama (not Youko anymore) and Crystal walked in and joined them.

At around 10:00pm Yusuke and Kuwabara walked in.

"It was terrible!" Kuwabara wailed.

"We bumped into Keiko after you guys took off, and she dragged us shopping." Yusuke said.

"Now that we're all here, why don't you tell them about your story?" Hiei suggested.

"Might as well." Sapphire sighed.
