Me: "Um, hey. I'm kinda in a hurry hereI do not own any of the characters from Demon Diary, Inuyasha, etc. Uh-ohI thing Kenshin just found the chocolate in the kitchen."
NOTE: Don't worry, I promise I'll get Sesshou-maru in here by the fourth chapter. Just bear with me
^_^
"Jamie?"
Cassidy started waving her hands in front of Jamie's face.
"Hey, dude!"
Jamie didn't even blink. She continued to sit absolutely still, staring out into the field hockey field across from the porch outside the cafeteria.
"Look, Jamie, I'm also upset about Riyo's disappearance. But that doesn't mean that you should start acting like her."
Jamie glanced at Cassidy. "Act like her?"
"Well, yeah. Isn't this exactly what she did the day when we forced her to sign up for soccer."
"She was curled up into a ball rocking back and forth."
"Yeah, whatever. You do that too."
"But I'm not doing that right now, am I?"
Jaime turned back to the field. "Black feathers," she whispered.
"What?"
"Nothing." Jamie stood up. "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Oh." Cassidy started after her.
"I don't need to someone to come with me," snapped Jamie. "Laurie and Susanna'll be coming out anytime soon."
"Oh." Cassidy sat back down. "Ok. I'll stay here so I can tell them about Riyo."
Jamie rolled her eyes at the patheticness of her friend and walked back into the cafeteria.
=^o.o^=
"Jamie!"
Jamie paused in front of the bathroom door where she was standing.
"Jamie!" yelled Laurie, running down the Main Hallway with Susanna. "You won't believe what we heard about-"
"We already heard."
"Riyo, she-"
"Cassidy and I already heard Mrs. Adreline talking to some people from the Missing Persons Unit."
Laurie and Susanna stopped.
"They're here already?" blurted Susanna.
"Yeah, how did you find out?"
"Mrs. Mariana explained it to us. Told us that there'll be an assembly today to tell us about it."
"Why would they start questioning today?" asked Susanna. "I didn't think they'd start till tomorrow. Give it a chance to sink in."
Jamie pushed past them. "I have to go finish my English homework," she mumbled. She didn't want to be stuck with Susanna during snack going on about the workings of the Missing Persons Unit.
Laurie and Susanna turned and stared at her start walking down the hall towards her locker.
"But Jamie-"
"Cassidy's outside waiting for you. Why don't you go swap stories with her."
The two just stood there. "Better hurry up before the line gets too long," Jamie added.
"Um, right."
Jamie started to sprit down the hallway. "Go into the bathroom in the Main Hallway, you said," Jamie started to mutter to herself. "Its snack. No one will be in the bathroom in the Main Hallway during snack. Obviously you forgot about all the people in the Main Hallway."
Jamie dashed past her locker, down the stairs by Main Entrance and to the Sixth grade Hallway. She turned the corner, past the library, opened the downstairs bathroom door and slammed it behind her. Jamie stood there for a moment to see if anyone would come in to see what had caused that noise. She looked into the mirror. Maybe she should go into a stall just in case someone did come in.
She sighed as she walked into the larger bathroom stall. She was expecting the worse when Set fond out the location that she had chosen. Then again, this was the place that someone was least likely to enter, ever since the bathroom had started a tendency to over flow.
Jamie closed the stall door behind her as quietly as possible. "Set?" she called out.
"Set? I know you're present, even though you said you were going to stay home today."
She heard a rustle above her. In the upper corner of the bathroom crouched, well, a boy, if you had to identify it with something human. In a way, he looked like a boy version of Jamie. He was slightly Oriental looking, with the tan skin. His hair was brown, with the natural blonde highlights thrown in. On the sides were unevenly cut strands, too long to be bangs, too short and ragged to be the other. His eyes, on the other hand, were anything but human. They were slits, like snake eyes, and the whites were not white, but black. The irises were blood red, and the pupils were a dark navy blue.
"You called?"
"Don't say that, you sound like Kenshin."
Set jumped down from the corner into the middle of the rather large bathroom stall.
"A girls bathroom. As usual."
"What do you expect me to do, just waltz into only boy's bathroom in the Main Hallway?"
"No, just find someplace other than a bathroom. I prefer to wander around places freely other than a bathroom stall in a girls bathroom."
Jamie took a piece of bubble gum out of her pocket and tossed it to Set. "That make things any better?"
Set popped the piece into his mouth. "Almost."
Jamie's eyes narrowed. "Okay. Talk."
Sets eyes narrowed back, a feat that seemed impossible with the original narrowness of his eyes. "You let me out just for information?"
"I know you know about Riyo."
"What about Riyo?"
"Where she went."
"Whatever do you mean by that?"
Jamie whacked Set upside the head. "Riyo's been missing since last night. You know what they found in her room? Kenshin's feathers. All over the place. Not only that but no way of exiting the room but the door way, which was obviously not used."
Set leaned against the wall. "Oh, yes, so my suspicions are true."
"Huh?"
Set sucked the remaining flavor from his piece of gum and spit it out into the toilet. "I noticed last night that I could no longer locate both Riyo's and Kenshin's energies. The only way that that could be possible is either they're dead or no longer in this world."
Jamie whacked him again. "And you decided not to tell me that till now?"
Set grinned.
"If they're dead, there's no hope for you're little hanyou friend, and Kenshin's sure to come back and a decade or so. If they're somewhere else, they someone should have detected their intruding energies by now."
Set stopped. He wrinkled his nose and eyes narrowed so all that showed were his navy pupils. Suddenly, he leapt gracefully over the stall door. There were scuffling noises and a familiar squeal.
Jamie threw open the stall door to find Set pinning Cassidy to the wall.
"Cassidy, what are you doing here?"
"J-Jamie, s-snack was over, and you d-d-didn't come back, and Laurie s-said you went this way-"
"She was eavesdropping," Set interrupted.
"I-I didn't hear much, just that part about Riyo and Kenshin-"
"Let her go, Set."
Set glanced at Jamie, the released Cassidy and let her slide to the floor. He glared down at the mousy girl.
"Midnight tonight. Don't scream when we arrive outside your window."
=^o.o^=
I stared into Eclipses red-brown eyes. There was something defiantly demon like about them.
"Knight, I am sorry that the Demon Lord himself cannot destroy you personally, but at the moment he is tied up in other matters."
I stared at him for a few seconds. "Like sleeping?"
I never knew that it was possible for someone to do an anime fall in real life, but that was what Eclipse did at the moment.
"Who told you that?"
Me and my big, uncontrollable, thinking out-loud mouth.
"Umm, Eclipse, did you know I'm one of your biggest fans?"
Actually, that's untrue. Erutis is my favorite character. But what would you say if your faced by a demon set on destroying you?
Eclipse held up a handful of dark fire. "You? Admire me? Feh. That will not work. Dark Arrow!"
I leapt out of the way, ended up tripping over myself, somersaulting and landing a few feet away from the sword. I reached out for it, but it was knocked out of the way by a black slipper.
"I'm afraid not. I'd like to end this as quickly as possible so I can get back to bed."
I rolled over a few times, them jumped back up. "Really, Eclipse, I'm flattered that you think I'm a knight, but it's not true."
A rather large fireball came my way. I had to throw myself back to the floor to miss it. I glanced at the sword. It seemed miles away.
"Eclipse, just listen to me!"
Another attacking blast came towards me, which was to my advantage. In order to dodge it, I had to hurl myself in the direction of the sword. Fortunately, Eclipse didn't see what I was doing.
"Dark Arrow!"
This time it hit it's target, which was not part of my plan. I was tossed up in the air like a hacky sack, flipped a few times, and miraculously landed on all fours. Luckily, I landed where I wanted to be. I snatched up the sword, moved to a kneeling position, and turned to Eclipse. I was raising the sword above my head when I felt a sudden pain in my abdomen. My intestines were squirming, and it felt as if they were about to burst out from my body.
"Baka mortal. If you had only kept still, maybe you could have died a less painful death."
Death Drill. He was using the Death Drill on me. Any moment now I'd explode into bloody smithereens. I closed my eyes, dropped my sword and clutched my abdomen. What was taking so long? Why couldn't he just get it over with?
"That is where your wrong, baka demon. Since when was she a ningen?"
I opened my eyes and looked up. There was A dark shadow looming over me, a shadow with wings.
"Kenshin, you baka, what are you doing?"
Then there was an exploding sound and a bright light. A bright light with black feathers scattering all over the place.
