Winter: Hello everyone and welcome to the next revised chapter of Lioness.
Hiei: Winter doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Autumn a.k.a Phantom Harmony belongs to Dreamchasereternity and Hinote a.k.a Vladimir belongs to EternalBlackNight and the random Spanish guy still belongs to himself.
Winter: On with the story!
Chapter Fourteen: The Crystal Found:
Kurama walked into the small coffee house known as SHO'S COFFEE HOUSE, seeing his friends Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hinote sitting around a coffee table all dressed in jeans, sneakers and different T-shirts.
Kurama walked up to them and greeted them.
The three boys stopped their conversation to welcome Kurama and invited him to sit down. Kurama took a seat next to Hinote on the red couch and waited for a waitress to come so he could order some tea.
"Have you heard from the girls?" asked Kurama.
"No," said Yusuke. "They may still be sleeping, since Autumn did sleep over Flash's."
"Yeah," said Kuwabara. "Who knows what they spent all night doing to Shorty."
"Well speaking of angry half-pint there he goes," said Hinote pointing out a nearby window.
Everyone turned and Yusuke knocked on the window to get Hiei's attention since he was the closest to the window. Hiei stopped and noticed them and decided to grace them with his almighty presence.
When he took a seat on a chair everyone noticed the marks on his neck caused by the one and only Flash.
"Hey what happened to your neck?" asked Kuwabara.
Hiei glared at him and the rest of the group.
"What's the matter Hiei?" asked Yusuke smirking. "Cat got your tongue?"
Hiei sent a death glare Yusuke's way and growled at him. This 'caused the teenager to put up his hands in defense and laugh nervously.
"All right, all right," said Kurama soothingly trying to calm down his friends. "Now Hiei, where is Autumn and Flash…since I assumed they'd be with you."
"They're in some museum looking for a rock of some sort," answered Hiei after he used his Jagan to look for them.
The four boys gave Hiei a questioning look. This caused the fire demon to sigh.
"The reason why Lioness is here," answered Hiei.
Yusuke, Kurama, Hinote and Kuwabara continued to stare at Hiei only this time blinking.
"Ask Flash," growled Hiei. "Not me."
"Why am I suddenly afraid?" asked Hinote.
"Only Enma knows what those two are up to," sighed Kurama.
"Should we go find a bomb shelter?" suggested Yusuke.
Meanwhile:
"What is it with humans and naked humans?" exclaimed Flash walking through the floor with sculptures of the nude.
"I don't know," said Autumn stopping to look at one that in a way resembled Youko Kurama. "I kinda like it."
"That's because you're picturing Youko's face on that piece of rock," said Flash coolly.
Her friend's comment caused Autumn to blush.
"All right," said Autumn. "We need to hurry and find that crystal!"
Flash took out a map of the museum and looked at it. "Well according to the map we're here…and we should be here…at 31st street."
Autumn appeared behind Flash to look at the map. "Uh, Flash."
"Yeah?" asked Flash.
"The map is upside down," said Autumn then walked away.
"Oh…" said Flash turning the map over the right way. "Oh! It's this way."
The two girls grabbed their shopping bags and headed to the next floor where it had rare gems, crystals and jewelry from great people in the past.
"If this museum has it, it would be here," said Autumn. "Do you know what it looks like?"
"No," said Flash. "But it's supposed to give off a strong amount of energy."
"All right," said Autumn.
Flash turned halfway and looked over her shoulder. "There's something over there, can you see that blue glow?"
Autumn looked up and walked over to the blue glow with Flash following. In the showcase there was a sterling silver pendant with a crystal clear ice crystal cut into the middle of it.
"Do you think this is it?" asked Autumn.
Flash looked next to the case and saw a description. "This crystal pendant is from the medieval time periods. A lord's healer wore this necklace and was able to heal anything as long as they wore this necklace. Many people believed it was a gift from God."
"Or a curse from demons," said Autumn.
"This must be it," said Flash.
"So what do we do?" asked Autumn.
"Let's go find the guys," said Flash. "We'll be back tonight to steal it."
The girls took off to exit the museum and find the boys to tell them of their discovery. But little did they know, the whole time that there were in the museum they were being watched.
Autumn and Flash walked into the coffee house about fifteen minutes later. Now exhausted from their long day of searching and side shopping they both walked over to their friends and collapsed. Autumn next to Kurama and Hinote on the couch and Flash the closet lounge chair.
"Where have you two been all day?" asked Kurama.
"Shopping," answered Flash. "We also found the crystal."
All of the boys perked up at Flash's words. Except for Hiei who acted like he didn't care due his current grudge against Flash from that morning.
"Where?" asked Kurama.
"In a museum about fifteen minutes away from here," answered Autumn.
"I say we go for it tonight," said Flash in a low voice.
"Whoa! Hold the phone," said Yusuke. "You can't do that Flash, you'll never be able to stay here if you do so."
Flash leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs and thought for a moment. "I have no choice. Kira needs help."
"Flash…"
"Look, I'm going," she said getting up. "And I'm doing this, with or without your help."
Before anyone could say anything Flash walked out of the coffee house, back to her house.
End Chapter:
Winter: Blah, shortness I know. But I wanted to get up a chapter before my horse show on Sunday since I'm not sure if I'd have time to write. But if I do I can start the next chapter.
Wisdom: Well that's it for now.
Winter: Yeah, I have work tomorrow…and I should not be an insomniac tonight. Wish me luck in my show!
Wisdom: Bye.
