The World of Songwinds' Bishounen and Bishoujo:
Demoonica's Story
by
Lady Demoonica Darkmoon
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The day was going slowly. Not many orders to fill, but everyone was amazed by the 'PD' Sphere that she had set up, open and fully decorated. Many people wanted to know where she had gotten them, and she had spent much of the day handing out flyers for Bill's lab. The tournament day was starting to wined down now.
Demoonica yawned, "You know this tournament thing is fun, but working this stand is becoming a bore fairly quickly... why don't we let Mr. Romport and his bishoujo handle it? He said we didn't have to work the whole thing ourselves, that he had other trainers come by looking for jobs." Mr. Romport being the man who had given her and Zander jobs at his store earlier that week.
"And what would you want to do then?" Kai asked.
"Travel again... we've been in Treah City, let's see... seven, eight, nine... ten days, I think." Demoonica counted up the days on her fingers. "With all of us working that time money rolled in... and I put most of the cash in a bank account under trainer name and number, so we're set for cash flow for a while. I refilled out supplies for a four week journey. With the new 'PD' Spheres and BishiGear, I'm set for any bishi we run into. You all have been getting training at the gym, we won a gym match even... Yeah, we're good to go." Demoonica sighed. "I haven't even seen much of the tournament, though I met a lot of friendly trainers like Anya and Hiromi and Merina. I even met LSS-sama, well sort of..." Demoonica giggled. "I think I'm banned from the next tournament anyway, kept taking the microphone and all..."
"I told you not to be doing that, but would you listen? Nooo!" Zander said sarcastically.
Demoonica rolled her eyes, he was making fun of her again. So what? So she got a little excited about the tournament. Okay more than a little. "Yeah you did, don't rub it in. Though I want to get back out in the field, not just here around town... I remember a cave back where we met with Kohaku. The one we camped outside of, I want to go back there and see where it goes, if anywhere. Sound good?"
Zander looked at her. "Well, I don't have any problem with it... are Hiromi and Merina coming with us?"
Demoonica shrugged. "They can if they want to, though they might like to finish seeing the tournament. Merina was headed north when we met, also. Hiromi might want to follow along with her or go her own way, who knows."
"Sounds like your ditching your friends." Kagome said.
"Am not! Going off and just leaving, no good by, that's ditching friends. I just want to...." She flipped her hands about. ".... go. See what is out there, just waiting."
"Go on a grand adventure, m'lady?"
"Yeah, Allen a very fine, grand adventure out in the world. I'm free."
"Free?" Katan asked.
"Free to do what I want, no worrying..." She smiled. "And I'm not going to get all teary again, don't worry. I've been worrying too much lately. So let's go, let's go have an adventure."
"Sounds fun..." Zander finally said handing a flyer to a girl who just asked about the 'PD' Spheres. Kagome glanced at the clock.
"It's time to close down, we've been open five minutes longer than we were suppose to be."
*****
"Hiromi!" Demoonica waved to the blond girl.
"Hey! Did you see the last few battles? They were totally cool!"
"No. Though I could have gotten away today if I wanted too... eh..."
"So what's the plan for tonight? Bishi hunting? See if Bill has any other neat inventions? Training perhaps? We could do with some training..."
"Well I was thinking about leaving the area, I've gotten board."
"Truly? Well... I..." Hiromi frowned. "I thought we were going to travel together?"
"I didn't say you couldn't come, you can if you want to."
Hiromi brightened. "I thought you were ditching me there... what does Merina think?"
"What do I think about what?" Merina said joining up with them as they continued walking. By now they were leaving the stadium.
"Demoonica wants to leave before the tournament is over."
"How much before?"
"Tonight actually." Demoonica said.
"Why so soon? What changed?"
"Nothing changed, I got board and that's the whole of it."
"I'd rather stay for the rest of the tournament."
"So you're not coming with us?"
"With you..." Hiromi said suddenly. "...I want to see who wins the tournament, Demoonica-chan. You will call, right? Because I will be calling you! No dropping off the face of the planet okay!?"
"Okay Hiromi." Demoonica hugged her. "Though I'll miss you, Kaiba, Duo..."
"Yeah, you'll miss Duo the most..." Hiromi joked. "I'll miss you, Demoonica-chan. I'll miss you too, Kagome-chan. Inu-chan!" She hugged Kagome and took Inu-chan into her arms.
"Yeah and you'll miss Inu-chan more than me..." Demoonica joked back. "Merina I'll miss you and yours just as much." She hugged her. "Tell Sesshoumaru to lighten up, Vash will help with it. Folken too and Trowa. Sheesh... most of your bishounen are light talkers aren't they? Vash makes up for it I guess."
Demoonica stepped back from her new friends. "I hate good-byes... You'll probably get a phone call from me as soon as I'm out of town..."
They did.
*****
Three days later...
"Here, isn't this where we camped?" Demoonica asked at they stepped into a clearing. "Yeah, has to be. There is the cave..." Demoonica looked at her BishiGear. "So this *is* the cave that goes all the way under the mountain and out the other side."
"Really? Couldn't you tell before?"
"No not until we were standing at the cave entrance."
"Should we go in?"
"Of course we should go in, that's why we came here."
"Anyone have a torch? It's dark in there."
"Torch? You're thinking in the darkages there Kagome. A cell powered lamp I have, a torch I do not." Demoonica flipped open her BishiGear and found the camping equipment capsule. Soon she had the hand lamp out and a small battery ran one on a bandana. She placed this on her head, pulling her hair out over it like a sweatband. She now had a round light on her forehead. Zander and Kagome, the only one out of her ball, took one look at it and started laughing.
"Sorry, I'm use to Feudal Japan." Kagome said with a laugh.
"Haha, keep laughing." She handed the larger hand held lamp to Zander. "I'll just leave you here." She walked into the cave, soon a brighter light came up behind her.
"Sorry, Demoonica. Really, you look cute with it." Zander said.
"Inu-chan... shush... I know it's dark." Kagome said to the upset chibi.
Chibi Inuyasha had been in town all his life. All two weeks of it, until three days ago when he woke up and was being carried through the forest late at night. Not odd, but now they stayed out in the woods all the time. Now he was being carried into a very dark closed in place and he didn't like it. It was bright outside, where they had been. He wanted back there, not here. But mother was here... his mind told him. Mother was holding him and he was safe. The others were here too, though harder to see in the light held by the long haired male one he thought to be the alpha female's mate.
Mother was beta female. He had high standings in the pack, though he was the only young with them. He had seen other adult males. One with long red hair, he did not like that one. One with short blue hair, that one was new to the pack. He would learn that one yet. They listened to the small dark haired one, she most definitely was alpha female. There were also adolescent males. Three. The one with long blond hair and the one with long black hair watched him for mother. Both were nice. The one with mixed blue hair he had seen a lot of, but was not watched by. He did not know what to think of this one. He hadn't seen other females in the pack.
Though he had seen two other alpha females with his pack leader, they had brought their packs with them, he liked the one with short blond hair. She liked young, she liked him. The long haired one of her pack was fun too. The short haired one he had only seen, but he didn't seem to like young. The one with long red hair he liked too, she was nice to him. Her pack was not as friendly as his pack, or the blonds pack. There was the blond one always in red, he was fun. The one with long silver-white hair did not like him at all, no not at all. The light blue hired one didn't pay any attention to him and the brown haired one was the same.
The two other alpha females and their packs were not with them now. He was with mother, the alpha female, and the long haired male. Yes he was safe, but he still did not like the dark. Inu-chan yawned and closed his eyes, this was making him sleepy.
Kagome smiled down at her sleeping son. "He always fights going to sleep..." She said softly.
"Must be tired from all the Travel." Demoonica whispered back.
As they continued deeper into the cave the light from outside diminished, leaving them with only the lamps for lighting. The cave was fairly large and the path was cleared of stalagmites. All the ones in the way had been removed, leaving the floor more or less smooth. The large stalactite overhead were also gone, though all the ones where both had met remained in place like hourglass shaped pillars holding up the roof of the cave.
It was cool in there, more so that outside. Even the air smelled cool and damp. Every so often the sound of water dripping echoed its way to their ears.
"Do bishounen live in the underground too?" Demoonica asked her BishiGear.
The programed female voice answered, "While most bishounen and bishoujo live in above ground cities there are a few types to be found in the underground, including the rarely seen Drizzt Do' Urden bishounen."
"What's a Drizzt?" Demoonica questioned, looking up the name on the long list of bishounen. Demoonica continued to question the BishiGear and some times Kagome about things for the next few hours as the walked on.
Later... 10 o'clock PM by the BishiGear...
Demoonica opened the last of her 'PD' Spheres and sat it on the ground. She knocked and opened the door. "Ohayo."
"Hn."
"Lovely conversational skills there, Kai-kun." She said with a small laugh. "Sorry for the long wait, it was hard to find a place to camp."
"Demoonica, I'm going to look around..." Katan said walking away from camp.
Demoonica poked her head out the door. "Just don't get lost. The last thing I need to do is to go looking for missing bishounen!"
"Understood." Katan walked out of camp. When he was far enough away he flipped open a small communicator. "Katan calling Megami-sama, do you read?"
"Katan?" Came a female voice. "Why so long for an update?"
"Forgive me, I found it difficult to get away from all of them and the communicator does not work from the inside of a ball. I need to report."
"Report, I am recording."
"Current situation is clear. There have been no signs of trouble with the girl. Though she has opted to leave company and town, we are traveling at present underground within Gimin Cave."
"Gimin?! That is the area where the power serge was."
"Correct. I can now confirm their presence in the area at that time. As suspected, it was the halfling who controls the power. I have yet to witness this firsthand."
"As to be expected."
"The girl knows of the situation with our troublesome trainer, the one creating halflings, and I can confirm the name of Kara. My trainer has had contact with LSS-sama and some of the girls who are firsthand in this knowledge. She knows the most fascinating people..."
"~Your~ trainer? Katan, I do believe you care for this girl." She gave a laugh.
Katan blushed and was thankful the communicator didn't have visuals. "She is nothing like what I was led to believe trainers are like. She *is* my trainer Megami-sama, I have loyalties to her now, not only you."
"Yes I see that Katan. You are not willing to leave her now, are you? No, I wouldn't think so. Just remember that you are still under contract with me, as an agent to keep this world stable and safe."
"Of course. What news on your end?"
"Raids on the Shadow Skill territories in the far east on the southern continent. Something is up down there Katan, trainers are acting strangely... They burnt part of the city! I contacted Lady Subaru of the .hack//SIGN territories, there have been no traces of any bishi escaping. I receive reports every time they discover anything of interest... but nothing of use can be found... no one knows what happened."
"Trainers raiding? Setting fires?" Katan was silent for a minute. "I don't know if this is related, but Demoonica had a dream that involved just that..."
"Indeed. That is an interesting bit of news in itself. Where are you headed anyway?"
"We should exit near the Gate Keepers 21 territory, past that is a desert and a ancient Yu-Gi-Oh! territory, the one that was abandoned during the great war between trainers and Bishi. The town we're headed for is called Faellie City."
Katan could see her nod, even without a screen, he knew Megami-sama and her habits. "Truly no trouble with the girl so far?"
"No, really did you need me to watch this girl or were you just tired of my company?"
She laughed. "I only felt it was necessary we watch her. I'm good with these things, trust me Katan."
"Of course my Megami-sama."
"Report again later, that is all." The communicator went silent.
Katan walked back into camp while everyone was having a late dinner. "You okay Katan?" Demoonica asked.
"Yes, Demoonica. I am fine."
*****
"Oh thank you there is light at the end of this tunnel!" Demoonica cried happily. "Five days in an underground maze and look..." She waved to the openness. "...there isn't even a piece of cheese left for us at the end!"
Zander shook his head. "Rei, why did you have to give her pixie stix? and sugar? and caffeine?"
"Aw she isn't that bad!" The young bishounen said with an overly happy smile. He went bouncing after Demoonica who had disappeared into the very tall grass.
"He been into them too." Kai commented.
"At least we are out of that cave!" Kagome said. "Inu-chan hated it."
"Well it's open ground and clear skies ahead, so..."
*Boom! ... Flash!*
It began raining. "I spoke too soon..." Zander sighed.
TBC...
