It began with a fortune cookie

Chapter 10: ME? LIKE HIEI?!

"What about Hiei then?" Rose asked.

"What about him? I'm helping him go back to where he belongs." Angel said.

"You're blushing." Rose said.

"Bullshit." Angel said not knowing that her cheeks were pink.

"Got the hots for a demon do you? This is wonderful!" Rose said.

"What's wonderful? Are you completely MAD?!" She yelled.

"Angel, if I'm not mistaking you've had a liking for him for a while. Lets see like when he first sudden appeared after Rick left. Hello this sounds like a god send. God himself had sent you someone who could probably make you happy for the rest of you life." Rose said.

"Rose, what drug have you been smoking?" Angel asked while standing up and wiping her tears from her eyes.

"None. I'm dead serious." Rose said.

"But then again you're probably right. On SOME levels Rose." Angel said while opening the door and feeling wind pass her.

"But Angel you haven't found out an explanation as to why you suddenly start to cry or hum to yourself or have that 'twitch'." Rose said.

"That 'twitch' is natural." Angel growled.

"Man you're becoming the Queen of Ice now." Rose said.

"Queen of Ice is better than being a whining female who doesn't know when to stop on trying to find her Prince Charming." Angel said while sitting onto the couch.

"Ohiyou Hiei-kun." Rose said.

"Morning Rose." Hiei said.

"Angel's in the sourpuss mood can you help me snap her out of it." Rose whined with her famous puppy eyes.

"I guess. Come here Angel. You need to smile at least for Rose." Hiei said picking her off the couch and placing her in his lap and tickling her, not like he hadn't done this before.

Angel started to squirm in his arms and laugh hard. Rose couldn't help but smile as Hiei tickled her depressed friend.

"Oh Angel prom for you is coming up soon isn't it?" Rose asked.

"Stop it Hiei. Yeah Rose." Angel said in between laughs.

"Well have you picked your dress out?" Rose asked.

"Remember when I put an ad on the Internet for a kimono?" Angel asked.

"Okay. I remember. Don't tell me you actually got one." Rose said in a 'Get out of here' tone.

"Yeah. I got a violet and white kimono as well a s a nice hairpiece for it for prom." Angel said.

"But then you're going alone." Rose said.

"Nick and everyone will be there." Angel said.

"But remember what plans you HAD for prom?" Rose asked.

Angel then looked depressed. Her and Rick were supposed to ruin prom night for the jocks and preps. This thought brought a tear down her cheek.

"See what pain he's caused. You need to enjoy prom you can crash next year's prom." Rose said.

"That's right I need to hang out with my friends more." Angel said while still sitting in Hiei's lap.

Angel looked at Rose seriously. Rose saw that something bad was soon going to happen. That doomed look in her eyes only happened when something terrible beyond all compare is about to happen.

"Angel. Why do you have that look in your eyes?" Rose suddenly asked.

"What are you talking abo-" Hiei stopped when he saw a dark menacing look in her eyes.

"Rose, remember when I told you about that dream I had months ago at school?" Angel asked while getting up.

"Yeah, about the one where the school is MMMMFFMFFFFF! MFFF!" Rose said before hear mouth was covered from her sudden shock.

"We'll be getting our gifts VERY soon now." Angel said with her hand clamped over Rose's mouth.

"But then that means!" Rose said.

"That's right." Angel said while looking at her dominant hand which was her left.

"What are you two talking about?" Hiei asked.

"Let's just say we have our own secrets." Angel answered while sitting next to him.

"You know Angel. Now that it's going to happen. Shouldn't we at least say goodbye to them? In case we never see them again?" Rose asked.

"Saying goodbye would be too hard. That's why I hate the talent at times." Angel said with a sad smile.

"But then we all do have our talents." Rose said.

"All that training over at your house where the ballpark is has helped. Now we can truly say that we're ready." Angel said while moving some of her hair away from her face.

"Human you better tell me what the hell you're talking about." Hiei said.

"It's best to NOT explain until it does happen." Angel said while getting up and walking to her room.

"He does have the right to know." Rose said.

"Him being here guarantee it to happen you know Rose." Angel said while bringing up statistics on her computer.

"It has brought the dimensions into unstable statures man look at the scales." Rose said.

"That's right Rose. Here's the data from after I have a premonition. And then during. And then after you have your attacks." Angel said.

"Then . . . if this continues. . . . " Rose trailed.

"The world as we know it. Will plummet into chaos. Rose you being the more intelligent one. Should do the research instead of me. I'll do the fighting stradegizing and fighting itself. That's what I'm good at." Angel said while balling her left fist up.

"Although you haven't even been in your first REAL fight." Rose said while starting to type up things.

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" Angel yelled.

"You know the arts of fighting and combat but you never really got to test your skills in an uncontrolled environment. Your chances of winning would be approximately . . . . 50/50." Rose said after typing up data.

"I'd rather die than to have this dimension collapse!" Angel yelled.

Hiei grabbed Angel's arm and glared icily at her as a silent 'Tell me now or suffer the consequences'.

"Fine fine. 2 months ago I had a vision. Not a premonition a precise vision. Date, time, place and exact details. The school is going to be . . . . " Angel started to explain but left out details that Hiei shouldn't know until it happened.

Rose looked at Angel the moment she started to explain things. She looked like she was going to kill the demon for his need of information. She grabbed Angel's arm before she could try and strangle him.

"So what you're saying is that if we don't' do anything everything will . . . " Hiei trailed.

"Yes, move Rose. This is a simulation on how we'll go if nothing is done." Angel said playing a simulation.

Hiei's eyes widened at the simulation.

"And how long have you two been preparing?" Hiei asked.

Angel smirked a menacing smirk before holding 4 fingers.

"Four what?" Hiei asked.

"4 years. We've been preparing for 4 years." Rose said while typing up data.

"If Angel said that she had the vision just the other month how did you. . . . " Hiei asked.

"Something inside us told us to being research and training. It's strange." Angel said with a smile.

"Anyway. Now about the final exams." Rose said while taking the notes out.

"No! Don't make me study Rose." Angel said.

"You have to. Although we're going to be trying to save what's supposed to exist you still have to have knowledge." Rose said while hitting her best friend over the head with her Algebra II book.

"Itai. Rose I'm going to be seeing numbers in my sleep good grief." Angel said while rubbing her head.

"Well it should be numbers and not your dreams of being a mother right now. You're FAR too young for that." Rose said.

"Hey a girl can dream can't she?" Angel asked.

"Dream later, study now." Rose said.

"Yes mommy." Angel said in defeat.

Hiei chuckled at the friend's small quarrel.

"You too Hiei you study too." Rose said while typing up more data.

"Why should I listen to a human like you?" He asked.

"Rose already studied for her exams. She ALWAYS gets A's. Brainiac." Angel muttered.

"Hey you're just as intelligent. Looking at the simulation and data you collected from the past 2 years here in private is excellent. You workaholic." Rose said.

"Well I get bored easily." Angel said.

"Well you must have gotten bored a LOT! There's over a fifteen thousand pages of data." Rose said.

"Well I typed at least 20 pages each day." Angel said with a sweatdrop.

"Each day for two years?" Rose asked.

"But then all together our data should be around approximately . . . . . 29,200 pages of data from all worlds around our perimeter. Man it sounds like I'm more of a nerd. Funny that if my teachers found out I was acting like a complete idiot at school and a genius here they'd want to know why. Oh well." Angel said.

"You are quite the actress." Rose said.

"I don't consider myself an actress. Merely someone who plays with what she has. Though I am quite smart I do not get some things." Angel said.

"But these formulas right here on this machine blue print are that of trigonometry." Rose said.

"Genius at higher math but a bit under when it comes to the quote simpler math. I told you when I first met you that math isn't my subject." Angel said.

"Getting snappy girl. Is Aunt Red coming soon or something?" Rose asked.

"She hasn't visited yet. And her visiting right now wouldn't be a good thing. Don't talk about her." Angel said a bit snappy while going to leave her room.

"Where are you going?" Hiei asked.

"Can't a girl to the bathroom without people asking?! Geesh!" Angel said snapping before leaving the room.

"Geesh! Her hormones are raging this month." Rose said and then laughed.

"You jinxed me. Curse you Rose." Angel muttered while coming back into the room.
