Chapter 7 Minikia's Double(Tai's POV First Person)
It was raining. Raining so hard and everything was a gray, sodden lump. My boots were waterlogged, stuffy, and extremely uncomfortable. The clouds were thundering, but there wasn't any lightning. Good thing, what if the lightning elemental demons came out. I shudder at the thought.
We all were trudging on the path toward a demon village close by. If they were… nice, then we would be able to get shelter for the night. If not, then we all catch pneumonia and die. Aren't our lives wonderful?
Minikia… who was she? From what I have seen, she was defiantly beautiful, had the most gorgeous hair, and used to be filled with joy and love. Then something happened, who knows what, and suddenly she starts to kill everything and everyone. After that, she was dubbed The Great Demon Lady, and everyone was after her blood for a reason unknown. I've seen before the incident and after it, but I still don't get what changed from such a nice, cheerful girl to a hatful, and wicked lady. Gosh stupid dreams, what the hell happened. You better tell me before I vow never to sleep again!!!!
We reached the village and they gave us shelter, well right after Hiei cut the arms off their leader. We all were cramped into one room, but hey, I wasn't complaining. After we just were about to go to sleep, a demon called us for dinner. What the hell?!?! Who has dinner at midnight?!
I left the room followed by the others muttering things so low that even I couldn't make out. The dinner hall was enormous. It was also richly decorated. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceilings and reflected light throughout the room. Stained glass windows shone even without light coming from the outside. How bright do you expect it to be at midnight? They casted a multi-colored pattern on the ground. There were also statues of demons in fighting stances even I had never seen before.
Suddenly cat demons poured into the room. Each carrying a tray of assorted foods. They set the foods on the table and bowed at the same time before scattering out the room through its many doors.
I was just about to dig in; Yusuke and Kuwabara had already gorged down a plate each. I noticed something. The demon sitting right next to the armless leader looked like a male version of Minikia. I swear they had the exact same face and similar body structure. Males and females are never exactly the same. That would be creepy. I could hardly contain my excitement.
One thing I did know was that the bow dude and sword guy were servants of Minikia and to find Kai, I would probably need to find Minikia. This was my first big lead. I had told the others about my dream, but only I had seen Minikia's face with my eyes. The others wouldn't know if any demon looked at her with my amazingly vague description of Minikia.
(Hiei's POV First Person)
Right after the cat demons served the food, I noticed something going on with Taikana. She looked fidgety and excited, like she saw Kai or something. I doubt it was that though.
H Tai, Tai.I wondered if she knew telepathy.
T Hiei? I didn't know you knew telepathy.
H You never asked. Something wrong?
T No, but the demon next to their leader looks exactly like Minikia!!
H That demon is fat and ugly. You said Minikia was beautiful.
T The other side, stupid.
K Hiei?
H What is it, Kurama?
K Something up? You keep casting glances toward the high table.
H Tai's got a lead.
K Hm?
H The demon there looks exactly like Minikia.
T Like a split image!
K You know telepathy?
T So, you've noticed. What are we going to do?
K We approach him after we eat.
H Why not now?
K You guys aren't hungry? * look of surprise*~*~*~*~
I followed the demon who supposedly looked like Minikia back to his room while the others went back to our own room. He was with a bunch of demons that started to thin out as he approached his room. The only one who had to walk farther to reach their room was the leader himself. When the leader reached the door, he faced a bit of a dilemma.
"Damn it," he said looking at the knob and moving what was left of his arm uselessly. "!@#$%^&*"
"You need some help," I asked opening the door.
"Damn you," he said and walked into the room, "Well don't just stand there, close the door!"
I did as requested and left to go back after noting which door led to the room of Minikia's double.
~*~*~*~
(Tai's POV First Person)
After the humans fell asleep, Kurama, Hiei, and I left the room to go see Minikia's double as Hiei called him. Kurama and I followed Hiei until we reached his door. I tried to open the door, but a spell was placed on the doorknob as well as a barrier around the entire room!
"Someone there?" a male voice called out, "Name yourselves."
"We have some questions for you, nothing more," Kurama said.
We heard a bit of shuffling before the door opened. He stood there and motioned for us to go in.
"Look if it's about Minikia, forget it."
"How do you know Minikia?" I asked.
"She's my twin."
"Why should we 'forget it'?" I questioned further.
"My sister turned into a maniac, okay? She kills for fun, and now people are running to me with their little problems 'Your sister killed my mother' or 'Where is she, wait 'til I find her' or 'You're her sister, you're just as bad' and then they attack me. Kami, I had to get the leader to place a barrier around my room after Minikia snapped because of all the people coming to try to kill me."
"Why is she a maniac?" Kurama asked looking a bit shocked.
"How am I supposed to know? She totally deserted after she found that other guy, Nemu-sensei. She begged me to let him train her, and this was before she turned into a killer. So, I let her because I could tell she loved Nemu-sensei, and then something happened, Nemu-sensei killed himself afterward and then Minikia turned evil or something. I don't know what happened though."
"Er…" I said, "Great, just great."
"I could tell you where she is though," he said helpfully.
"That would be a lot of help," Kurama said.
"She lives northwest of here. Thirty miles about."
"Thank you, sorry for disturbing you," Kurama said and then ushered Hiei and I out of the room.
"Ooooh Kay," I said, "That was weird."
~*~*~*~*~*~
Okay that was weird, the chappie, I mean. Oh well. Didn't know what else to say.
