Lady Demoonica Darkmoon: Ohayo Mina-san! Would you believe me when I tell you 'Bill' is a real friend of mine? LOL! Odd isn't he?
To Songwind- I have no idea if it's true about the translation part, but and this is a bit hard to explain... "No da" is an informal shortening of the phrase "n desu" which is added to the end of a sentence where something is apparent, but you're stating it anyway. Either way 'no duh' and 'no da' look close and sound close, so I'm betting it could be true!
To Sylphiel2- The eye doctors say that they can not yet make contacts for the type of Stigmatism I have. *sigh* I'm stuck with them, or I can take them off and be blind for awhile. V(=_=)V --- me squinting... heheheh...

The World of Songwinds' Bishounen and Bishoujo:
Demoonica's Story
by
Lady Demoonica Darkmoon
Demoonica woke up the next morning to a more crowded room than normal. Hiromi was sleeping on the floor to her right, blankets kicked off of her. Merina she knew to be at the foot of her bed, though from where she was Demoonica couldn't see her. Along one more or less empty wall each of the girls had set up an open 'PD' Sphere. They were side by side and she found it odd that the rooms didn't squish together. Inside the artificial rooms their bishounen had set up their sleeping bags, happy to be free of cramped spaces forever and have company. It turned out that the rooms inside of 'PD' Spheres where there at all times, even when a ball was closed, but they liked the idea of leaving them open so they all could be together and have their own pajama party. At least that was Duo and Rei's idea.
The girls found out that most of their bishounen were very upset about being in a tiny, pitch black space one second and a blinding white room the next. Most of them thought they had been bishinapped and teleported to a holding area. All of them found the door would not open from the inside.
Hiromi's Duo had been unaffected and when they opened the 'PD' door to his room found he had changed the walls to black and red Zebra stripes. Her Kaiba also had found out how to work the computer screen and his room was a soft pastel green. Merina's Sesshoumaru, Folken, and Vash hadn't bothered theirs. Vash was extremely happy to see her and nearly glomped his trainer. Sesshoumaru didn't like the computer and made a slight frown at it after being told how it worked. Trowa had discovered the rooms had a built in closet that Bill had forgotten to mention.
Demoonica had found Allen sitting in a corner, highly upset by it all. Marou was his usual self, he hadn't bothered the computer, and was sitting in the middle of the room cross-legged, meditating. Kai had lowered the temperature and had been launching his Dranzer Beyblade the whole time. He seemed to not care when the door opened and Demoonica looked in, but she as she left she saw him give a small smile. Rei had also been highly upset and had clung to her until she could explain the 'PD' Sphere thing to him. Katan had been more surprised than upset, then highly impressed. He said that this 'Bill' guy was quite the inventor to make such great things.
"Wake up Merina." Demoonica said to Hiromi, then noticed her friend was still asleep. The girls had decided to go shopping for basic furnishings before todays tournament battles. They had fixed up a poster to place on the T-shirt stand's wall to advertise Bill's 'PD' Spheres as well. That they would have to set up before the tournament opened also.
Demoonica shook her head, thinking about the 'PD' Spheres. "I can just imagine how much those will cost when placed on the market."
"Ahhhh...huuummm?" Hiromi asked half yawn, half questioning sound as she stretched out. "What'd you say?" This was followed by another full yawn.
"Don't worry about it." Demoonica crawled to the end of her bed and leaned over to poke at Merina. "Morning!" She said a little louder than necessary.
"Ha... huum...wha?" Merina jumped, suddenly awake. Then she too let out a yawn and looked sleepily at Demoonica. Who yawned.
"Don~ *yawn* Don't do that! It's catching!" This was followed by a sleepy giggle.
"What time is it?" Hiromi asked as she joined Merina at the foot of the bed. Demoonica looked back at the digital clock on the stand between her and Kagome's beds.
"Seven o'clock." She looked over to Kagome. She was still asleep. Inu-chan wasn't and sitting up trying to get a toe into his mouth. Demoonica giggled. "Hungry Inu-chan?" The chibi looked up at the sound of his name, seeing Demoonica he gave a giggle and dropped his foot to the bed. He then clapped his hands together happily and began to babble. "I take that as a yes." Demoonica said.
She slipped off the bed and began rummaging through her backpack after the loose capsules. "I wonder if Bill has a storing/sorting device for capsules. He did say he got the 'PD' Sphere idea from working with them." She found the capsule containing the baby supplies. In a puff of purple smoke they appeared. "Let's see... formula..."
Meanwhile Hiromi and Merina had gotten their sleeping bags rolled up and put away. Sounds of snoring could be heard coming from two 'PD' rooms. Merina found that it was Vash who was making the most noise out of her four. Hiromi's Duo wasn't as loud as Vash, but he too was found snoring away.
Demoonica had just finished making Inu-chan a fresh bottle when Kagome stretched and woke up. "Morning Kagome!" Demoonica said and handed her the bottle. "Here, already fixed."
"Thanks." She picked up Inu-chan and gave him his bottle.
Demoonica walked into the 'PD' room of her own bishounen. Katan and Marou were awake... and apparently having a staring competition. Of course it could be the whole demon and angel thing... Demoonica sighed. Allen was closest to the door and she quickly woke him up. Her Kai and Rei were both asleep halfway across the room. "Wake up Rei-chan! Kai-kun!" She called.
Nothing. Demoonica walked over to the pair of bishounen to find that both of them were wearing earplugs. She grabbed the string to one and pulled. "Good morning Rei-chan!"
A single amber colored eye opened to look at her. "Not 'morning..." He pulled the cover over his head. All that could be seen was his long bound hair snaking its way out from under the cover and crossed the floor, over to Kai's spot. She noticed that the end of it was clutched in the hand of still sleeping Kai. Demoonica giggled, if asked she would guess her Kai turned out to be a person who was a 'cuddle bug'.
"Oh no you don't!" She pulled the cover off Rei who was dressed in lavender pajamas.
"Hey~" He sat up and tried to take his cover back.
"Nope!" Demoonica waved the cover at him and then tossed it out of reach. Rei pouted. "Too cute!" She said looking Rei in the face. "Keep doing that Rei-chan, and I won't be able to keep myself from glomping you..." She stood back up. "Now upsy-dasiey!"
Rei went to stand, then... *Fwump!* landed back on his butt. "Itai!" Rei rubbed the back of his head where his ponytail started. Reaching back he grabbed his bound hair and pulled on it. It didn't come. He turned around where he sat and grabbed his hair again, now he saw who had a hold of it. "Kai! Let go of my hair!" He wined and pulled again. "Demoonica! Help me! Wake the grumpy one here up..." He pointed at Kai. "...so I can get my hair back!"
"But I hate to wake him!" Demoonica giggled. "Don't he look sweet when he's asleep?" All of them looked at her like she was crazy. Kai? Sweet? Those words did not go together into the same sentence.
"You're delusional." Rei told her. They heard a small 'hn' sound. Kai was awake. "And you're mean!" Rei yanked his hair from Kai's hand and headed out of the 'PD' room.
Kai pulled the earplugs out of his ears. "What did he say?"
"Just commenting on your sleeping habits Kai-kun." Kai gave her a confused look and then noticed the loose raven strands of hair tangled about his fingers.
"Hn."
"Well it's time to get up! We are all going shopping!" Demoonica said, putting on a smile she walked out of the room. "First lets stop by the stand and put out the poster for Bill's 'PD' Spheres. Okay?"
*****
A pair of violet eyes opened in the early morning sunlight. Zander rolled over onto his back... 'Sunlight? Did I fall asleep?' He wondered. His head hurt, right in front between his eyes, but it wasn't bad. 'What was I doing last night? Oh, yeah the fight with Demoonica. I was going to go apologize... and then my head hurt... and I... passed out?' His mind felt foggy.
"Must have been too much stress..." He told the empty room. He looked at the clock. 'Huummm... it's early... shower.' Zander grabbed a change of clothes and headed to the small personal bathroom. "I'll tell her I'm sorry when we meet up." Stripped, he checked the temperature before stepping into the hot streams of water.
Five minutes later...
*Knock knock knock*
"Just a second!" Zander called as he wrapped a extra large fluffy towel around his waist and walked to the hotel room door. He open it and was met by three young female bishi trainers in pajamas. Demoonica, Hiromi, and Merina to be precise. Demoonica's room located directly across the hall had the door open, bishounen belonging to all three girls could be seen getting ready. He stood there for another second, one hand holding the towel where it met at his side, water dripping from him and his unbraided hair.
"Hiya." He said and leaving the door open, walked quickly back into the bathroom.
Hiromi turned beet red. Merina blinked to make sure she had just seen that right, she had, and blushed. Demoonica also turned red, but still managed to watch his retreat to the bathroom and like the view. Even if it was somewhat blocked by his long hair and a towel.
"Heheheh... Demoonica-chan... It's good being your friend!" Hiromi finally said. This earned her a bop on the head.
"Friends, yes. Friends with privileges, no." Demoonica said.
"I never saw him with his hair down before." Merina stated as she took a seat in an empty chair.
"Me neither." Hiromi sat down in a second chair.
"I did, once before..." Demoonica started, taking a seat on the bed. "...it was really early in the morning and no one but me was awake yet. It was the first morning after Zander joined up with me, Kagome, and Allen. The sun cast a golden glow on everything for a minute and when I saw him like that, asleep, his hair all undone and spread out around him... it was like... everything in the world was perfect right then... I felt myself falling for a strange guy, who I barely knew and had never really talked to, but knew... just knew... I wanted to know him, spend time with him..." Demoonica sighed. "Am I weird to have felt so strongly about him so quickly?"
Both girls sat there looking at her oddly. Then Hiromi burst out, "That was so~ beautiful! Did it really happen just like that?"
"Demoonica, I wouldn't have guessed..."
"What? Guessed what?"
"What a romantic story! To fall in love!" Hiromi gave a dramatic sigh.
"The way you two fight... it's fits so well."
"Okay, time out you two!" Demoonica held her hands up in a time out signal. She waited for her friends to become silent. "Now, Merina what fits? About us fighting..."
"It's lovers quarreling!"
"You sound like Kagome, she was telling me the same story yesterday evening... I can't be in love! We still barely know each other..." Zander walked back into the room. Now dressed in a pair of black slacks and a tight stretchy gray sweater. (Think preppie rich kid.) His hair was still down, but no longer had water cascading off it.
"You girls mind giving us a few minutes?" He waved to Demoonica and himself.
"No problem!" Merina dragged Hiromi from the room and shut the door. Zander sat down on the bed beside Demoonica.
"Demoonica, I-" He started.
"I'm so sorry!" Demoonica blurted out. "I shouldn't have started fighting with you!"
"That's my line." He smiled. "I'm sorry too. I know you were only trying to keep everyone in a good mood yesterday. With all that's been going on... I don't blame you for yelling at me. I like it when you are *truly* happy... Truce?"
"Truce. I'm touchy aren't I?... But~ you had been on my nerves most of the day... being around some one day in and day out does that." She looked at him. "No matter how much you love them..."
Zander nodded. "Yeah." He leaned down towards her...
'Oh my gods! He's going to kiss me and I don't mean a smooch on the forehead!' Raced through Demoonica's head.
... and he kissed her. His hand went to her cheek and... Kagome swung open the door to the room! Demoonica and Zander jumped. "They made up!!!" She yelled to the two trainers who had put her up to barging in and walked right back out. She left the door open and cheering could be heard from Demoonica's room.
"Oi, can't they let a girl have any fun?" Demoonica joked.
Zander rolled his eyes at her. "Baka."
"I'm your baka, then. Now where were we in making up?" She said pulling him into another kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. They heard whistles from the other room. Demoonica sighed. "We'll finish making up later. Right now, I have to go kill my friends." She left.
Zander smiled, touching his fingers to his lips. 'I didn't think she'd kiss me back...'
*****
"Ready for 'The Full Mall Shopping Experience'?" The girls had changed into more of a 'mall rat' style of clothes. Demoonica wore a red cloth mini-skirt, over it split nearly to the waist on both sides was a slightly longer white skirt. She also had a sleeveless, nearly backless white shirt with a red neck cuff, and a pair of black slippers like Rei's. Her hair was done up into a braid. Merina had on the same outfit as the first time they had seen her, a red tank top, blue jean shorts, and black boots. Her knee length red hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Hiromi wasn't as out going as in the clothes department. She had dressed in a blue-gray tank top, blue, blue jean shorts with lace around the edges, and sneakers. Her short blond hair had been pulled nearly to the crown of her head to form a spikey ponytail. It made her look somewhat like a Rikku from Final Fantasy X.
"Woo hoo! Shopping!" Hiromi said as they entered the mall.
"You can go off on your own after we get what we came for, just remember to meet back here before we go to the tournament today. Got it?"
Hiromi nodded, still walking. "Got it, Demoonica-chan!" She called back.
"Yes sir, Captain sir!" Duo mock saluted her and followed after Hiromi.
Demoonica laughed as she watched them go, those two were a lot alike in personality sometimes. She could see them hooking up sometime in the future, maybe not so much as lovers any time soon, Hiromi was only fourteen after all, but they already had a good start on a close friendship, and only time would tell if she and Duo would fall for each other.
'Oh great! Now I'm matching people up in my head..." Demoonica looked over to Merina. "Run and catch up with those two?"
"No, I'll stick with you."
"Yeah, we'll make it to the store and find Duo trying to talk her into anything and everything black..."
Merina gave a laugh. "Probably... so how are things with lover boy?" She pointed to Zander who was busy talking to Kagome.
"As if the whistles we received earlier don't give away the facts you already know."
"That was Hiromi, Duo, and Vash."
"Oh... heheh... things are better."
"Still unsure of his exact feelings, huh?"
"Yeah..." Demoonica looked over to Zander, who was making faces at Inu-chan, making the baby laugh. "I'm willing to admit that I think I love him."
"You think?"
Demoonica shrugged. "I never fell in love before." Merina nodded.
Once inside the store they found a sales person and went about explaining the 'PD' Spheres to them. They decided to put the orders together. The order was a large one to say the very least, so large in fact that they ended up with a discount for buying in bulk. It would have been difficult to buy each bishi something different in the way of beds, so together they chose a black metal frame style that would go with almost any room. Once bought, they decide to have the workers set them up.
"Miss, where are they to be delivered to?"
"Oi, I just explained this not half an hour ago! Here I'll just show you..." Demoonica took out a 'PD' Sphere, pushed the new button, and placed the ball on the store's floor. The air around the ball wavered and the ball transformed into a plain door with frame. "This is the entrance to a 'Pocket Dimension' Sphere room." She opened the door. "As you can see, it leads to an extra dimensional space... in this case a room. We wish for you to set them up inside here, one in each please."
"You have more of these incredible balls?!"
"Quite a lot of them actually."
*****
"Now that that's finally done... we still have time before we need to be at the tournament. Any ideas?"
"I've got one. Lets go to the Capsule Corp store. It has the latest capsules and new capsule technology." Kagome said leading them into the store. "We had a smaller store like this in my home territory, all territories do. I tell you, the Dragon Ball territories have a huge income from all over the Bishi World because of their products!"
"So why'd you drag us in here Kagome?"
"I heard you having problems with finding the right capsule this morning and I remembered seeing an advertisement for a product." She picked up what looked to be a white plastic gauntlet with a flip up screen, speaker slits, and lots of buttons. "This is it. It's called BishiGear, it's the latest in high-tech equipment. It's a wrist sized all-in-one; Bishi-Dex Encyclopedia, Phone, Map, and Capsule Storage Device. It's hard to loose also."
"Very~ nice~!" Demoonica said picking one up. She checked the price. "And very expensive." She put it back down carefully.
Kagome looked at the price and her eyes bugged out. "They do take trade ins on old equipment, so that will drop the price..."
"I'll try. It would be a lot more covenant..." Demoonica pick one up, walked to the counter, and began talking to the clerk. After a second Demoonica was seen handing over her Bishi-Dex, Electronic Map, the 3D Holo-cube she used like once then never looked at again, and a wad of cash. The clerk hooked the Bishi-Dex to the BishiGear and hit a button. unhooking them he then placed the Dex in a tub with others. Demoonica walked back over to them, fastening the BishiGear around her left wrist.
"Not so bad with the trade in... he had to download all my information into it, also." She held up a small book. "It comes with instructions, luckily."
Demoonica held up her left wrist, where her BishiGear now was, and flipped open the screen so it was flat like a table top. She opened the book and began reading. She pressed a few buttons and the screen began to glow. A female voice came from the BishiGear, "Please insert capsules you wish to store."
"Alright, I got it working!" Demoonica began looking for the four-inch-long capsules in her backpack.
"Insert capsules? Insert them where?" Hiromi asked.
"Like this." Demoonica held up her arm again and held a capsule over the screen. The screen glowed and she let go of the capsule. Instead of falling, the capsule floated for a second, slowly rotating, then blinked out sight, and was replaced with a 3D hologram of the same capsule.
"That rocks! How do you get it back out?"
Demoonica looked back at the book and flipped a few pages. "Okay..." She pressed a button, the capsule returned to a solid form. She reached out and grabbed the rotating capsule. "It's actually very easy to use." She then began inserting all her Capsule Corp capsules one at a time into the BishiGear. After she finished she showed them that all the capsules had been sorted by number and scrolled through a few using arrow buttons.
By now it was almost time to be at the tournament so the headed there.

To Songwind- I have no idea if it's true about the translation part, but and this is a bit hard to explain... "No da" is an informal shortening of the phrase "n desu" which is added to the end of a sentence where something is apparent, but you're stating it anyway. Either way 'no duh' and 'no da' look close and sound close, so I'm betting it could be true!

The World of Songwinds' Bishounen and Bishoujo:
Demoonica's Story
by
Lady Demoonica Darkmoon
Demoonica woke up the next morning to a more crowded room than normal. Hiromi was sleeping on the floor to her right, blankets kicked off of her. Merina she knew to be at the foot of her bed, though from where she was Demoonica couldn't see her. Along one more or less empty wall each of the girls had set up an open 'PD' Sphere.

It turned out that the rooms inside of 'PD' Spheres where there at all times, even when a ball was closed, but they liked the idea of leaving them open so they all could be together and have their own pajama party. At least that was Duo and Rei's idea.

Vash was extremely happy to see her and nearly glomped his trainer. Sesshoumaru didn't like the computer and made a slight frown at it after being told how it worked. Trowa had discovered the rooms had a built in closet that Bill had forgotten to mention.
Demoonica had found Allen sitting in a corner, highly upset by it all. Marou was his usual self, he hadn't bothered the computer, and was sitting in the middle of the room cross-legged, meditating. Kai had lowered the temperature and had been launching his Dranzer Beyblade the whole time. He seemed to not care when the door opened and Demoonica looked in, but she as she left she saw him give a small smile. Rei had also been highly upset and had clung to her until she could explain the 'PD' Sphere thing to him. Katan had been more surprised than upset, then highly impressed.

"Wake up Merina." Demoonica said to Hiromi, then noticed her friend was still asleep. The girls had decided to go shopping for basic furnishings before todays tournament battles.

Demoonica had just finished making Inu-chan a fresh bottle when Kagome stretched and woke up. "Morning Kagome!" Demoonica said and handed her the bottle. "Here, already fixed."
"Thanks." She picked up Inu-chan and gave him his bottle.
Demoonica walked into the 'PD' room of her own bishounen. Katan and Marou were awake... and apparently having a staring competition. Of course it could be the whole demon and angel thing... Demoonica sighed. Allen was closest to the door and she quickly woke him up. Her Kai and Rei were both asleep halfway across the room. "Wake up Rei-chan! Kai-kun!" She called.

"But I hate to wake him!" Demoonica giggled. "Don't he look sweet when he's asleep?" All of them looked at her like she was crazy. Kai? Sweet? Those words did not go together into the same sentence.
"You're delusional." Rei told her. They heard a small 'hn' sound. Kai was awake. "And you're mean!" Rei yanked his hair from Kai's hand and headed out of the 'PD' room.
Kai pulled the earplugs out of his ears. "What did he say?"
"Just commenting on your sleeping habits Kai-kun." Kai gave her a confused look and then noticed the loose raven strands of hair tangled about his fingers.
"Hn."
"Well it's time to get up! We are all going shopping!" Demoonica said, putting on a smile she walked out of the room. "First lets stop by the stand and put out the poster for Bill's 'PD' Spheres. Okay?"

A pair of violet eyes opened in the early morning sunlight. Zander rolled over onto his back... 'Sunlight? Did I fall asleep?' He wondered. His head hurt, right in front between his eyes, but it wasn't bad. 'What was I doing last night? Oh, yeah the fight with Demoonica. I was going to go apologize... and then my head hurt... and I... passed out?' His mind felt foggy.
"Must have been too much stress..." He told the empty room. He looked at the clock. 'Huummm... it's early... shower.' Zander grabbed a change of clothes and headed to the small personal bathroom. "I'll tell her I'm sorry when we meet up." Stripped, he checked the temperature before stepping into the hot streams of water.
Five minutes later...
*Knock knock knock*
"Just a second!" Zander called as he wrapped a extra large fluffy towel around his waist and walked to the hotel room door. He open it and was met by three young female bishi trainers in pajamas. Demoonica, Hiromi, and Merina to be precise. Demoonica's room located directly across the hall had the door open, bishounen belonging to all three girls could be seen getting ready. He stood there for another second, one hand holding the towel where it met at his side, water dripping from him and his unbraided hair.
"Hiya." He said and leaving the door open, walked quickly back into the bathroom.
Hiromi turned beet red. Merina blinked to make sure she had just seen that right, she had, and blushed. Demoonica also turned red, but still managed to watch his retreat to the bathroom and like the view. Even if it was somewhat blocked by his long hair and a towel.
"Heheheh... Demoonica-chan... It's good being your friend!" Hiromi finally said. This earned her a bop on the head.
"Friends, yes. Friends with privileges, no." Demoonica said.
"I never saw him with his hair down before." Merina stated as she took a seat in an empty chair.
"Me neither." Hiromi sat down in a second chair.
"I did, once before..." Demoonica started, taking a seat on the bed. "...it was really early in the morning and no one but me was awake yet. It was the first morning after Zander joined up with me, Kagome, and Allen. The sun cast a golden glow on everything for a minute and when I saw him like that, asleep, his hair all undone and spread out around him... it was like... everything in the world was perfect right then... I felt myself falling for a strange guy, who I barely knew and had never really talked to, but knew... just knew... I wanted to know him, spend time with him..." Demoonica sighed. "Am I weird to have felt so strongly about him so quickly?"
Both girls sat there looking at her oddly. Then Hiromi burst out, "That was so~ beautiful! Did it really happen just like that?"
"Demoonica, I wouldn't have guessed..."
"What? Guessed what?"
"What a romantic story! To fall in love!" Hiromi gave a dramatic sigh.
"The way you two fight... it's fits so well."
"Okay, time out you two!" Demoonica held her hands up in a time out signal. She waited for her friends to become silent. "Now, Merina what fits? About us fighting..."
"It's lovers quarreling!"
"You sound like Kagome, she was telling me the same story yesterday evening... I can't be in love! We still barely know each other..." Zander walked back into the room. Now dressed in a pair of black slacks and a tight stretchy gray sweater. (Think preppie rich kid.) His hair was still down, but no longer had water cascading off it.
"You girls mind giving us a few minutes?" He waved to Demoonica and himself.
"No problem!" Merina dragged Hiromi from the room and shut the door. Zander sat down on the bed beside Demoonica.
"Demoonica, I-" He started.
"I'm so sorry!" Demoonica blurted out. "I shouldn't have started fighting with you!"
"That's my line." He smiled. "I'm sorry too. I know you were only trying to keep everyone in a good mood yesterday. With all that's been going on... I don't blame you for yelling at me. I like it when you are *truly* happy... Truce?"
"Truce. I'm touchy aren't I?... But~ you had been on my nerves most of the day... being around some one day in and day out does that." She looked at him. "No matter how much you love them..."
Zander nodded. "Yeah." He leaned down towards her...
'Oh my gods! He's going to kiss me and I don't mean a smooch on the forehead!' Raced through Demoonica's head.
... and he kissed her. His hand went to her cheek and... Kagome swung open the door to the room! Demoonica and Zander jumped. "They made up!!!" She yelled to the two trainers who had put her up to barging in and walked right back out. She left the door open and cheering could be heard from Demoonica's room.
"Oi, can't they let a girl have any fun?" Demoonica joked.
Zander rolled his eyes at her. "Baka."
"I'm your baka, then. Now where were we in making up?" She said pulling him into another kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. They heard whistles from the other room. Demoonica sighed. "We'll finish making up later. Right now, I have to go kill my friends." She left.
Zander smiled, touching his fingers to his lips. 'I didn't think she'd kiss me back...'
*****
"Ready for 'The Full Mall Shopping Experience'?" The girls had changed into more of a 'mall rat' style of clothes. Demoonica wore a red cloth mini-skirt, over it split nearly to the waist on both sides was a slightly longer white skirt. She also had a sleeveless, nearly backless white shirt with a red neck cuff, and a pair of black slippers like Rei's. Her hair was done up into a braid. Merina had on the same outfit as the first time they had seen her, a red tank top, blue jean shorts, and black boots. Her knee length red hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Hiromi wasn't as out going as in the clothes department. She had dressed in a blue-gray tank top, blue, blue jean shorts with lace around the edges, and sneakers. Her short blond hair had been pulled nearly to the crown of her head to form a spikey ponytail. It made her look somewhat like a Rikku from Final Fantasy X.
"Woo hoo! Shopping!" Hiromi said as they entered the mall.
"You can go off on your own after we get what we came for, just remember to meet back here before we go to the tournament today. Got it?"
Hiromi nodded, still walking. "Got it, Demoonica-chan!" She called back.
"Yes sir, Captain sir!" Duo mock saluted her and followed after Hiromi.
Demoonica laughed as she watched them go, those two were a lot alike in personality sometimes. She could see them hooking up sometime in the future, maybe not so much as lovers any time soon, Hiromi was only fourteen after all, but they already had a good start on a close friendship, and only time would tell if she and Duo would fall for each other.
'Oh great! Now I'm matching people up in my head..." Demoonica looked over to Merina. "Run and catch up with those two?"
"No, I'll stick with you."
"Yeah, we'll make it to the store and find Duo trying to talk her into anything and everything black..."
Merina gave a laugh. "Probably... so how are things with lover boy?" She pointed to Zander who was busy talking to Kagome.
"As if the whistles we received earlier don't give away the facts you already know."
"That was Hiromi, Duo, and Vash."
"Oh... heheh... things are better."
"Still unsure of his exact feelings, huh?"
"Yeah..." Demoonica looked over to Zander, who was making faces at Inu-chan, making the baby laugh. "I'm willing to admit that I think I love him."
"You think?"
Demoonica shrugged. "I never fell in love before." Merina nodded.
Once inside the store they found a sales person and went about explaining the 'PD' Spheres to them. They decided to put the orders together. The order was a large one to say the very least, so large in fact that they ended up with a discount for buying in bulk. It would have been difficult to buy each bishi something different in the way of beds, so together they chose a black metal frame style that would go with almost any room. Once bought, they decide to have the workers set them up.
"Miss, where are they to be delivered to?"
"Oi, I just explained this not half an hour ago! Here I'll just show you..." Demoonica took out a 'PD' Sphere, pushed the new button, and placed the ball on the store's floor. The air around the ball wavered and the ball transformed into a plain door with frame. "This is the entrance to a 'Pocket Dimension' Sphere room." She opened the door. "As you can see, it leads to an extra dimensional space... in this case a room. We wish for you to set them up inside here, one in each please."
"You have more of these incredible balls?!"
"Quite a lot of them actually."
*****
"Now that that's finally done... we still have time before we need to be at the tournament. Any ideas?"
"I've got one. Lets go to the Capsule Corp store. It has the latest capsules and new capsule technology." Kagome said leading them into the store. "We had a smaller store like this in my home territory, all territories do. I tell you, the Dragon Ball territories have a huge income from all over the Bishi World because of their products!"
"So why'd you drag us in here Kagome?"
"I heard you having problems with finding the right capsule this morning and I remembered seeing an advertisement for a product." She picked up what looked to be a white plastic gauntlet with a flip up screen, speaker slits, and lots of buttons. "This is it. It's called BishiGear, it's the latest in high-tech equipment. It's a wrist sized all-in-one; Bishi-Dex Encyclopedia, Phone, Map, and Capsule Storage Device. It's hard to loose also."
"Very~ nice~!" Demoonica said picking one up. She checked the price. "And very expensive." She put it back down carefully.
Kagome looked at the price and her eyes bugged out. "They do take trade ins on old equipment, so that will drop the price..."
"I'll try. It would be a lot more covenant..." Demoonica pick one up, walked to the counter, and began talking to the clerk. After a second Demoonica was seen handing over her Bishi-Dex, Electronic Map, the 3D Holo-cube she used like once then never looked at again, and a wad of cash. The clerk hooked the Bishi-Dex to the BishiGear and hit a button. unhooking them he then placed the Dex in a tub with others. Demoonica walked back over to them, fastening the BishiGear around her left wrist.
"Not so bad with the trade in... he had to download all my information into it, also." She held up a small book. "It comes with instructions, luckily."
Demoonica held up her left wrist, where her BishiGear now was, and flipped open the screen so it was flat like a table top. She opened the book and began reading. She pressed a few buttons and the screen began to glow. A female voice came from the BishiGear, "Please insert capsules you wish to store."
"Alright, I got it working!" Demoonica began looking for the four-inch-long capsules in her backpack.
"Insert capsules? Insert them where?" Hiromi asked.
"Like this." Demoonica held up her arm again and held a capsule over the screen. The screen glowed and she let go of the capsule. Instead of falling, the capsule floated for a second, slowly rotating, then blinked out sight, and was replaced with a 3D hologram of the same capsule.
"That rocks! How do you get it back out?"
Demoonica looked back at the book and flipped a few pages. "Okay..." She pressed a button, the capsule returned to a solid form. She reached out and grabbed the rotating capsule. "It's actually very easy to use." She then began inserting all her Capsule Corp capsules one at a time into the BishiGear. After she finished she showed them that all the capsules had been sorted by number and scrolled through a few using arrow buttons.
By now it was almost time to be at the tournament so the headed there.
