I really want reviews, people! I won't discontinue it, but I really WOULD
like some more! Please!
Almost an hour later, I was walking home slowly, whistling the same tune Vance had been; I was confused, though. A rose that didn't wilt, a little boy who knew a tune long forgotten by myself, and a young woman whose heart couldn't say where home was! I sighed, a bit exasperated, and began to make my way up my own walk, eyes fixed on the ground.
I suddenly remembered something: When I had been walking and tripped over Setra, I had been paying attention to where I was putting my feet! So how had I not seen her or her books? It didn't make sense! I shouldered the door open and stepped inside. It was quite and there was a note on the table.
I quickly read it over; it was just about how my mother had left to go to a friend's house in a different city, emergency, she wouldn't be back for a while, supper was on the stove.
Too bad I don't feel like eating, I thought, rather miserably, letting the note drop back on the table and staring up the stairs.
When I entered his room, my first thought was that Vance had fallen asleep on my bed, but then I realized it was only Hiei; Vance would probably die rather than spike his hair like that.
"Hiei?" I ventured bravely, poking the fire demon in the back. He muttered and shifted but didn't wake. "Hiei." (another poke) "Hiei!" (a harder poke) "HIEI!" I slapped his shoulder hard enough to make him wake up.
He rolled over onto his knees and glared at me, his nose barely an inch from my own. "WHAT, fox?!"
I dragged Hiei off the bed and onto his feet. "We need to see Koenma again, now."
Hiei slapped my hands off his shoulder. If looks could kill, I'd be dead. "Why? We saw him earlier today!"
"Well." I paused and sighed. "I saw my friend today and I realized there's something funny about her."
Hiei growled. "She?"
I sighed and shoved Hiei towards the door. "Yes, she, and we're just friends, so deal!"
And for the second time that day, Hiei didn't retort; he just shut his mouth and let me lead him to Koenma's palace.
"Koenma!" I burst through the door, dragging Hiei after me, making Koenma jump a foot and his hat slip off. "Kurama? What is it?" He asked, catching his hat and shoving it back on his head. "I want you to look up Setra!" I gasped, one hand clutching at a stitch in my side, the other grasping the edge of the desk for support. "Now, please?" Koenma gave me a look like I was crazy but obeyed; the screen which came up said: No information found; check for spelling errors and try again. I grinned, not really surprised. "I knew it! I just knew it!" I drummed my fingers on the tabletop, frowning. "She's not from this world, I just know it.." "Errr..." Koenma cleared his throat. "Just curious, but, what did you know?" "That Setra isn't from here, she's just not normal," I said in an offhand voice, waving a hand. "She's just too different." Comprehension dawned on Koenma's face, followed by a look that suggested Christmas had come early. "Might she be the Goddess? I mean, it makes sense!" He jumped up, not that it made much of a difference in his height. "Okay, tomorrow, I want to go to her house and meet her! I'll be able to tell if it's her or just some messed up girl!" I glared at him. "Really? Well, I don't know if she'll take kindly to that.Maybe I ought to invite her over and you could drop in.." "Or we could do that," Koenma said, still smiling. "It would be the perfect plan! Glad I thought of it!" He sat back down, ignoring my sigh. "Well, tomorrow it is then!"
