^^ I'm back! Happy late New Years and so on and so forth. Lexi-chan (through mad skillz and creativity) has finished Liability, which means I have to do major speed-typing in order to catch up! The ironic thing is, once again, I am experiencing Internet complications, and so cannot post until Saturday…which was what I promised anyway, but STILL. (Correction: Until SUNDAY! Whoo!) ^^;; Ah, well. And…ah…yes. Densebyou is actually Densenbyou. Forgot the 'n' for this long…. Well, I've corrected the title, so that is that. Now, I present you with…chapter…16? ^^;; I think. Himawari (Sunflower) goes to Shiroi Hikari. She also got Kouka, but I'll give someone else a chance to get her, along with Keshi.
God, it's good to be back…if all goes well, Kikyoku will go up…on…Sunday…I think. .
…Oh, yes. Stupid Orcs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seemed like she was doomed never to enjoy sleeping in. If it wasn't someone calling her name or shaking her, it was someone sitting on her feet, or--
"Ouch…" Kia didn't feel like opening her eyes, for some strange reason that she couldn't yet fathom. But her feet seemed to have gone numb and…wait, WHY were her feet numb?
"If I had Shishiwakamaru lyin' on my feet, I'd say 'ouch' too."
The girl frowned slightly, opening her eyes with some reluctance. She gave a noticeable start as a calloused hand covered her mouth.
"Don' want you wakin' everybody up just yet," the owner of the hand explained apologetically, slowly removing the appendage. Bright blue eyes studied her face with an air of concern. "…Kia?"
The Mirror Holder had turned white under her tan. Her deep brown eyes were wide and the black pupils in the center were dilated. She looked incredibly disoriented. After a pause, she blinked once, and then words suddenly spilled from her mouth.
"Inari, this is too cruel…no…this isn't real, I'm dreaming, it's--"
"You're not dreamin'." A fully-grown Jin grinned encouragingly.
"Then you're a ghost! It can't be--it's GONE, she destroyed it…oh, Inari…" She was trembling too badly to speak now.
The Wind Master reached out, ensnaring the girl with one muscular arm and hugging her tightly. Kia clutched at his warm shoulder. He felt so SOLID! Surely that had to mean that he wasn't dead! The tears came unbidden, and she closed her eyes in an attempt to hold them back.
"Ssh, lass, don't cry…" Jin touched her closed lids gently. When she reluctantly opened them, he leaned down, covering her mouth with his own. Her lips moved against his as she tried to say something, then gave up.
"Aww…isn't that kawaii?" Kelsey sat up, beaming.
Startled, the two sprang apart--well, Kia TRIED to, but ended up hitting somebody: Hiei, who was half-awake and also not so little anymore.
"Kelsey!" Kia wailed, badly confused as she wiped the moisture out of her eyes. "How long have you been awake??"
The blonde girl grinned, feigning supreme innocence. "Would you believe me if I told you that I just woke up and saw absolutely nothing?"
"No."
"Kuso. Truthfully, I've been awake for eighteen minutes, trying to figure out what the hell happened while we were sleeping." She shrugged. "Still haven't done it."
Kia looked around, blinking. She and Kelsey had fallen asleep with several little youkai. Now they were surrounded by the same youkai…only they were back to their usual height and weight. Touching Hiei's forehead, she found his temperature relatively stable.
"What…" She looked back at Kelsey and Jin, bewildered. "What's going on them?" Both of them shrugged, looking just as blank as she felt.
"Cure," Hiei said hoarsely, trailing off in a dry cough as he sat up. "Bakas."
Kelsey stuck out her tongue. "Nice to see you up and about and in such a sweet mood, Jaganshi. Note the extreme sarcasm in my voice."
"Note that I don't give a damn what you want me to note," Hiei snapped, definitely not acting "sweet" at all.
"Oh, go note yourself!"
Jin and Kia watched the ridiculous exchange, both struggling to keep smiles from emerging. The next speaker showed how successful THAT was.
"Oi, Kia, you might want to get away from Jin. He looks like he's going to be sick."
"He's trying not to laugh," Kia explained.
Suzuki sat up, shaking his head. "A bit crowded, isn't it? Did we have a slumber party or something?"
The argument between Hiei and Kelsey finally ended with a last insult, courtesy of the blonde Mirror Holder.
"Well, you'd better note that I note that YOUR notes aren't noteworthy of my note-taking abilities, you noteless midget!"
Kia interceded before Hiei could reply (most likely in a manner that would get her friend fired up again). "No more noting, please. We still have to figure out how--"
-I'll be quite happy to enlighten you.- Kage nosed the door open, padding in. Kurama followed, covering a yawn with his right hand. -I believe your redheaded friend suspected when he checked on you earlier this morning.-
Rei stirred, blinking bright green eyes and running her hands through her tousled curls. "Party?" She asked brightly. "Wha's going on? What'm I doing here?"
Kelsey turned to her. "You don't remember coming in here last night?"
"Do YOU remember anything from when you were two?" Kia asked her, smiling slightly.
"Yes," the girl said defensively. Her friend raised an eyebrow, and she sighed. "Point made and taken. So, Kage, you said you'd enlighten us…?"
-I shall. Now, from what Kurama told me, the cure was destroyed at Mukuro's fortress, only used on those who were doused in it upon the moment of destruction. Am I correct?-
Both girls nodded. Rei, Hiei, Jin, Suzuki, and Touya (who had awoken just now, while Kage was speaking) just looked confused.
The dog settled down in a regal seated position, wrapping his tail neatly around his right hindquarter and resting it on his front paws. -Those cured had received a great amount of the liquid, when only a small amount would have sufficed. Therefore, the excess of it remained in your bodies. When you cried, it was released through your tears, just as potent once it touched the diseased youkai as it had been for you.-
"So, in other words…" Kia couldn't seem to get her feet out from under the still-slumbering Shishiwakamaru and finally decided to be less gentle. "Excuse me for a second." With a jerk, she yanked her legs back, and the samurai hit the floor with a yell. Ignoring his furious rants, she went on. "As I was saying, in other words, YOU'RE saying that when Kelsey and I cried on everyone, they were cured because we had too much of the stuff in our systems, so it came out via cryfest?"
-More or less.-
"See, if I had let you cry before then, we may not have had enough to go around!" Kelsey jumped off the bed to hug a deeply unhappy Shishiwakamaru, grinning up at Kia. "I knew it all along."
"Riiiight." Her friend wasn't taken in by that, judging by the skepticism in her tone. "And I'm an orange piglet with blue polka dots and a magenta-tipped tail."
"But you're OUR orange piglet with blue polka dots and a magenta-tipped tail!" Rei said, pouncing on the girl and hugging her. "That's why we LOVE you!"
There was a sulky snort from the grounded samurai. "I don't love her."
"Aww, sure you do, Shishi!" Kelsey slung an arm over his shoulder. "You just love me better."
"Too much love in the room." Hiei rolled his eyes. "I'm going to eat now."
Thirty-five minutes later, everyone was stationed in the kitchen or the dining room, either cooking, cleaning, or eating…or just generally messing things up.
"Chuu…are you SURE you know how to flip pancakes?" Kia asked, for about the sixteenth time. No, she wasn't being paranoid, just cautious. The drunkard had already burnt three eggs, disintegrated the bacon, and poured orange juice over Rinku's head, instead of into his glass. Rinku was quite sure that the last was purely intentional, but Chuu insisted he was innocent.
"I'm sure. TRUST me, love!" The youkai winked at the smaller girl, who remained unconvinced. Placing his hands on her back, he firmly pushed her out of the kitchen.
Hiei calmly sipped from his glass of water. "Your idiotic kindness will be the death of you, Mirror Holder."
"I appreciate the concern and the statement of the obvious, Hiei." With a sigh, Kia dropped into a chair. Kurama handed her a food-laden plate and she got to work cleaning it off.
Suddenly, there was a loud THUNK from the kitchen. Everyone looked up, and Kia winced. Another thud.
"Shimatta." Kelsey pushed aside her plate and got up. Casting a longing glance at her eggs, Kia rose as well. They entered the kitchen.
A griddle lay on the floor, still sizzling. Chuu was staring up at the ceiling apprehensively. The girls looked up also, and then Kelsey jumped back as a pancake fell to the floor from above.
"CHUU," Kia said very slowly and deliberately. "What happened?"
"I was flipping the griddle, and--"
"You flipped the GRIDDLE?!"
Everybody at the table winced as the girl's voice rose. Well, almost everybody. Hiei was now calmly nibbling his bacon.
"It's probably a good thing that she's not full youkai," Touya commented. "Results would most likely be disastrous."
"Keiko's full human, and she scares me more than Toguro ever did." Yusuke and Kuwabara had arrived, the former clutching a video tape in his hand. "Someone get them out of the kitchen. I have something to show you all. To the living room!" For some reason, he was smirking…NEVER a good sign, especially when it involved showing off something. It almost always embarrassed somebody.
In due time, everyone was in the living room. Kelsey, Kia, Kurama, and Hiei were seated on the couch cushions, with Rei and Rinku perched on either side. The two Shinobi settled on the floor with Shishiwakamaru and Chuu. Suzuki took his usual chair, with Kage sitting at his feet. Yusuke handed the tape to Kuwabara with a flourish. "Pop it in, my good man."
The boy was sniggering as he obeyed. "Made by Kuwabara and Urameshi Productions, inc." He flipped on the television and the screen turned blue for a few seconds. Then a few small numbers appeared on the bottom and Kuwabara's face replaced the blue.
"Is this thing on, Urameshi? Bet I look sexy, huh?"
Hiei gave a snort of contempt. "You brought us in here to watch that idiot PREEN?"
"You'll see!" Yusuke replied in a singsong voice, still wearing that smirk.
The others turned their attention back to the screen. Kuwabara was now approaching a three-year-old Hiei with a ratty stuffed bear. The Hiei watching stiffened.
"You want the bear, Hiei?" Kuwabara asked, waving the toy tantalizingly in the toddler's face. Hiei grabbed for it, but the other jerked it away.
"Noooo! MINE!" Obviously, Hiei did not like being teased. His little face was turning bright red.
"Too bad, midget!" Kuwabara said mirthfully. He continued to taunt the little boy with the bear until Hiei burst into tears. And Kuwabara's shirt burst into flames.
The occupants of the living room watched the screaming Tantei run back and forth like a headless chicken while Hiei (with a defiant mutter of "MY bear!") curled up with the bear, contentedly sucking his thumb. The hysterical laughter in the background obviously belonged to Yusuke. The screen went static-y, then faded to black. Kuwabara ejected the tape, cheeks flushed.
The audience sat stunned for a moment. Then Suzuki leaned over and poked Hiei.
"You want the bear, Hiei?"
Chuu, Rei, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Shishiwakamaru howled with laughter. Kelsey didn't dare speak, for fear of joining them. Rinku and Jin were both grinning widely, and Kia, Kurama, and Touya were doing their best to remain expressionless.
"Yusuke Urameshi, I'm going to kill you." That was all Hiei said, but it was more than enough. Yusuke was off and running for his life, with the Jaganshi pursuing him.
The others exchanged glances warily. The laughter died down. Then Suzuki spoke up again.
"You want the bear, Hiei?" He made his voice high and squeaky. "MY bear!" And then he stuck his thumb into his mouth.
That did it. Every single person in the room burst out laughing. Even Touya was chuckling, and Kurama laughed so hard, he cried.
As Kia sat there, propped against Kelsey, she could only think that she had missed this a lot. And she was grateful that there'd be a lot more moments like this to enjoy with her friends.
"Arigato…"
