Ok, last chapter Lina ended up having an insignia on her forehead. How did
she get it and what will it do? Let's read and find out.
Chapter 6
"An insignia?" Mayline asked as she looked at the glowing mark. Karen nodded. "From who?"
"Remember that guy I killed and whose head you have?" Karen asked.
"Of coarse I do," Mayline said.
"Well, that's his insignia," Karen replied.
"Oh fun. So how the hell do we get rid of it?" Mayline asked as she stood on one hip with her arms crossed.
Karen shook her head. "You can't."
Mayline blinked. "We can't? Why not?"
"Because that guy didn't make it. I don't know who did but it wasn't him. I don't know what to do right now," Karen said as she looked at Lina who still stood in front of the window.
Mayline sighed. "Well, we can't leave her there. You go on to bed and I'll watch her for now," Mayline said as she sat up on the windowsill and pulled one leg up to her chest letting the other hang down.
Karen shook her head. "No, you know it'll take both of us to watch her."
"Wanna bet. You got to get some sleep anyway. You'll be the one taking her to spirit world to find out what to do about this," Mayline said as she glared at Karen.
Karen sighed knowing there was no way to talk Mayline out of it. "Alright. I'll sleep in Lina's room since I don't wanna look at those heads of yours." Karen shuddered as she walked into Lina's room.
Mayline laughed and took off her black headband. She then opened her teal blue jagan and sighed. "Much better. I hate having to wear this stupid thing." She looked out the window and out at the city. She watched as the lights outside seemed to dance. This was one of her favorite things to do, watch as the city lit up. She then looked at the building across from hers and saw Hiei standing at the top. She smirked, but the smirk soon faded when she saw the same insignia that Lina had glowing on Hiei's forehead. "Oh great." She then looked back at Lina. "You guys have got to snap out of it."
Lina blinked and rubbed her head.
"Lina?" Mayline said as she stood up.
Lina looked at her. "Huh?"
"Are you alright?" Mayline asked.
"Just a headache is all. I'll be fine," Lina said as she went into the bathroom to get some aspirin.
Mayline blinked at her before looking out the window. Hiei was still standing there, but the insignia was gone. She shrugged and looked back at Lina as she walked back in. "You'd best get to bed girl. You and Karen got somewhere to go tomorrow. And you might wanna either sleep on the couch or on the floor of your room."
"Why?" Lina asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Cause Karen's sleeping in your room."
"Why!?"
"Cause she didn't wanna sleep in my room. Now, where you gonna sleep? On the couch or on the floor?" Mayline asked as she sat back up on the windowsill.
"Neither," Lina said as she walked into her room. Next thing Mayline heard was a loud thump as Lina threw Karen out of her bed. Mayline laughed and looked back out the window watching the lights. The next morning, Mayline was up on the roof looking out at the people. She had replaced the white headband. Karen and Lina were already on their way to the spirit world. Mayline zoned out as she continued to watch the people below.
Hiei suddenly appeared behind her. "Looking for someone?"
Mayline tensed reflexively but relaxed when she saw it was only Hiei. "No, just looking around. What are you doing here?"
Hiei just stood there. "Wandering why I saw a jagan on your forehead last night."
Mayline shrugged and turned back around. "Maybe because I have one."
Hiei smirked. "I thought something was off about you."
"Well, now you know. Now like I had a choice in the matter," Mayline said as she continues to gaze out at the people.
"Really? How so?" Hiei asked. He seemed to be a slight bit interested in this girl.
"Why should I tell you?"
Hiei shrugged. "Cause I wont leave you alone until you do?"
Mayline muttered something along the lines of 'And that's a bad thing?' before jumping down and going into the apartment through the living room window and walking into her room. Hiei was standing there on her windowsill. Mayline sighed and walked over opening the window. "If you're just gonna hang around might as well come in." She then walked over to her bed and sat down in the center of the black, silk blankets. She took off her headband letting her jagan eye open.
Hiei sat down on the sill. "Are you going to tell me?"
"Might as well since you're not gonna leave me alone. I don't know who put the jagan on my forehead. All I know is that they did it without my knowing. Thankfully my speed and attitude got me out of that little problem," Mayline replied. "Satisfied?" Hiei nodded. "Good. Now, why were you standing on the building across the street last night?" Mayline sighed as Hiei raised an eyebrow at her. "Think I didn't see you? Besides, you got a freakin insignia on your forehead."
"I do?" Hiei said as he looked in Mayline's mirror.
"It's not there now but it was last night. It was glowing. Lina had the same thing," Mayline said.
Hiei looked at her in the mirror. "Kurama said the same thing. He said I had an insignia glowing as well."
"You did. I don't find that good," Mayline said as she looked at her tank of heads. Her new head was gone. "Wha-what the hell!?" Just as Mayline was opening her tank, Lina and Karen came back. Hiei quickly jumped out the window. "God damn it!"
"What's the matter May?" Lina asked.
"The head is gone. Damn! And I was up to 35 heads," Mayline said as she slammed the tank closed.
"Well, that's because the guy you killed wasn't the real guy. It was a double," Lina explained.
"Oh man. Fuck! This pisses me off big time!" Mayline yelled as she grabbed her coat. "I'm going out to walk around. I'll be back whenever." With that she walked out and towards the park. She found a cleared area and sat under a tree. She soon fell asleep. She hadn't had much sleep in the past few days. What she didn't notice was that same bat-like demon watching her. A few hours later, Mayline woke up. She rubbed her eyes clear of sleep and yawned.
"Was wandering when you'd wake up."
Mayline looked up to see Hiei standing in the tree above her. "Hey, I haven't been able to sleep much so shut up." She then noticed that Hiei's eyes were glowing white. Her eyes widened and she quickly got up and stepped back. "What the hell!?"
Hiei smirked. "Scared?"
"Freaked out is a little more like it," Mayline said as she dropped to a fighting stance.
Hiei jumped down from the tree and stood in front of her. "Why? I wont hurt you. Much."
What has happened to Hiei? Why is he advancing on Mayline? Read the next chapter to find out. Please review.
