Hello again. Heh, it seems that someone was a little upset at me cutting Ami's hair. =P
Yeah, I had a little voice in my head saying "don't do it! Don't cut Ami's hair!" But in the end, that voice lost. =P
Anyway, I've got a homepage up, but it's only temporary. I've got a 'Favorite Character' Poll up. Go vote when you get the chance. =) The link can be found in my profile!
So anyway, enough of that! On with the fic!

Chapter 29: Ami and Meiruuna (Part 2)
Ami waved a hand through her hair. "… Meiruuna said that my hair was too long…" She flinched as she rubbed the spot that Meiruuna pulled on. "And then she swung me by my hair… So I decided to cut it! It's not permanent, just until this whole mess with Meiruuna is over."
"Um, Ami…" Sarah began. "Not that I'm doubting you or anything, but… Meiruuna is insanely strong! What did you do to piss her off so much, anyway?!"
Ami sat down on the couch. "It's not me that she is angry with… She's angry at all 'normal' humans… You see, when we were born, the doctors found something wrong with us… Never the less, our parents brought us home. When we were both 2, we began to sow signs of our powers. Our parents were overjoyed to have children with such powers, and being wealthy, they bought us all sorts of things… Including 2 bunnies, Tenshi and Kai. But one night, when we were six, I caught a bit of a cold. We were eating dinner, when the destructive side of our powers showed up. I sneezed, shattering every glass object at the table. I apologized, but my parents simply looked at me in fear. Soon, they began to take things away from us, including our rabbits. Meiruuna and I adored those rabbits, so when they took them away from us, it infuriated my sister." She frowned, a tear running down her eye. "So one night, my parents tried to kill us, starting with me. Meiruuna was actually awake, and killed our father, my mother's screames waking me up. I saw my father, dead on the floor, knife hanging limply in his hand. Then I watched as Meiruuna killed our mother, silencing her. Meiruuna took me to this place, telling me to never speak of that night… I took those words to heart, never speaking at all." She looked up to the others. "Until recently, that is… But I don't blame Meiruuna for my suffering, or my parents. Meiruuna is simply protecting me the only way she knows how, and everyone fears what they don't understand, including my parents."
Shinobu whimpered, hugging Ami close, unknowingly squishing her between her breasts. "Oh, you poor, sweet girl! You've been through so much, haven't you? I swear that from this day forth, I will protect you no matter what!"
Ami laughed nervously. "Um, thank you, Ms. Maehara…"
Ema sighed. "Psychic girls… What else did I miss when my brain was scrambled? I mean, I thought that this place was weird before, but psychic girls?"
"Um, Ami?" a new voice squeaked. Everyone turned the head towards the voice. They all gasped at what they saw. Ami's rabbit, Tenshi III, was flapping it's ears, flying in the air. She waved. "Hello!" She watched as Ami fainted. "Um, Ami-dono?"
-----
And so, the three days passed. They all hung out in the lounge, drinking tea that Ami had made. Shinobu took a sip and yawned. "Ah, what a nice day today…" Sarah scratched her cheek. "Hey, I have a feeling that we've forgotten about something…" Suddenly, there was a loud booming noise outside. She raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah, forgot about that… Oh well, Ami isn't back from school yet, so it can't be helped…"
Shima walked into the room. "Hey, what was that?"
Rikina and Tokimi walked into the house, kicking of their shoes. "Hey, I saw that Meiruuna girl outside…" Tokimi muttered. "She wants Ami."
Shinobu hummed a tune. "Well, Ami is at school right now…" There was another explosion outside, this one shaking up the whole building. "Oh, how rude…"
Finally, Ami and Nina came home from school. "Hey, Ami's clone is wrecking stuff!" Nina yelled, plopping her book bag on the floor.
Sarah glared at Nina. "Nina, you know better than that! Pick that up!" She smiled over to Ami and motioned to the outside. "Ami, could you go take care of that?"
Ami giggled and nodded, putting her shoes on and running outside. She saw Meiruuna standing there, smiling and waving. She petted Kai. "Hello again, sister… I'm wagering that you've learned some new tricks?"
Ami nodded, smiling. "That I have. But I still do not want to leave Hinata House. These people are like family to me! Hey, maybe you could come live with us, too! The people here are awfully nice!" Ami said, smiling.
Meiruuna glared. "I don't think so… And you won't live here, either! I will take you away from here and--"
"And what? I'm not as helpless as I used to be, you know! And I'll prove it!"
Meiruuna chuckled. "Really now? How interesting… Alright, then… Prove to me that you can defend yourself against me, and I'll let you stay. If you can defend yourself from me, then you should be able to defend yourself from the rest of this cruel world…" She smiled. "Of course, it's impossible to beat me…"
Meiruuna and Ami concentrated, closing their eyes. Red and blue surrounded them, respectfully. They opened their eyes, both at full power. Meiruuna held a hand out blasting Ami away with an invisible force. Ami flew backwards, but landed on her feet. Meiruuna laughed, and snapped her fingers, the ground beginning to raise. Ami screamed, jumping up and floating in the air. She glared at Meiruuna. "That wasn't very nice…"

Meanwhile, back inside…
The others all relaxed in the lounge as Ami fought her sister. Shinobu had a nervous look on her face. "Um, don't you think we should help her?"
Sarah looked at Shinobu like she has grown another head. "And get turned inside out or something like that? Hell no!"
Shima stood up and growled. "I don't care!" He walked over to Tenshi and grabbed her ears. "C'mon, ya dumb bunny…"
Tenshi whimpered. "Hey, you big bully! Let me go!"
Shima glared at the little white rabbit. "You want to help Ami, don't you?"
Tenshi sniffled, it's beady eyes glimmering. "Y-yes…"
Shima sighed. "Well then come on!" He ran outside, carrying Tenshi.
-----
As they got outside, they saw Ami struggling to get up, Meiruuna preparing a basketball sized energy sphere. She chuckled and let it go. "Ami!!" both Shima and Tenshi screamed. Shima ran over to pick Ami up, while Tenshi flew in the way of the red sphere, blocking it. "Wait, those rabbits are psychic, too?!"
"Not exactly…" Meiruuna explained. "They are more like guardians to us…"
Unfortunately, the energy ball was too much for the little rabbit. She fell, exhausted, and the red energy exploded, sending her body flying through the air. Ami's eyes widened in shock. "NO!" Ami screamed, jumping out of Shima's arm's and running toward her pet and new friend. She caught the rabbit, hugging it close to her body. "Tenshi, no… Are you alright?"
Tenshi looked up to Ami and smiled. "I'm all right, as long as you're all right, Ami-dono…"
Ami slowly smiled, and handed Tenshi to Shima. She looked to the ground, her aura becoming a dark, dark, almost black-ish blue. She stared at Meiruuna angrily, her eyes seemingly devoid of life.
Everyone began to run out, watching as Ami went through a change. Kaolla's eyes widened as she whistled. "Shiiiiit… We're screwed!"
Ami ran towards Meiruuna, jumped into the air, readied an energy ball, then teleported behind Meiruuna. Meiruuna turned around, but got hit in the back with an energy ball. Ami had let go of the ball before teleporting. Meiruuna screamed out, before getting one of her bangs pulled by Ami. Ami smiled sadistically. "How does it feel?!" She let go, grabbed the back of Ami's head, and slammed her head into the ground. Ami then grabbed Meiruuna by the foot, tossed her into the air, and sent blast after blast of energy at her body.
Everyone else sweat dropped, watching the fight. Rikina stared blankly. "Note to self… NEVER EVER piss off Ami… That is, unless I have a death wish…"
Ema flinched as she watched Ami beat up on her sister. "Yeah, really…"
Soon, it was all over. Meiruuna struggled to stand up, but fell to the ground. Ami suddenly turned back to normal, and smiled. "Okay, I'm done!" The others face faulted. She looked around, confused. "Hm? Did I do something wrong?"
"No, Ami…" Sarah muttered. "You did just fine…"
-----
And so, they awaited for Meiruuna and Tenshi to awake. "So, what do we do with her?" Rikina asked. "Eat her?"
"Rikina!" Ami screamed. "Don't even joke about that!"
"…Who said I was joking?" Rikina muttered, pointing to Tenshi. "I meant the rabbit…" She then proceeded to point to Kai. "And maybe that one, too…" She began to drool. "Or even better, breed them…" Her eyes widened as she regained her senses. "Er, sorry about that…" She apologized, wiping drool from her mouth.
"Ew, screw my sister?" a bratty boy-ish voice said. Everyone turned around to see Kai, holding on a lollipop. "That's nasty…" He put the lollipop back in his mouth.
Ami pointed, stuttering. "Y-you talk t-too?! And you can hold things?"
Kai smirked. "Well, yeah! Of course I talk!" he said, taking the lollipop out of his mouth. "Idiot…" he muttered.
Sarah smacked her forehead. "Damn it, this is going to really get annoying…" She was suddenly smacked in the back of the head with a lollipop, which then stuck in her hair. She turned around, glaring viciously at the little rabbit. "Why, you--"
Kai pouted. "You wouldn't hurt a widdle wabbit, now would you?"
Sarah twitched, turning around and walking away. "Oh, god…"
Suddenly, Meiruuna woke up. "Ugh, my head hurts…" Her eyes, now that she was no longer at full strength, were a pale pink. She looked around, saw Ami, and squeaked. "Ahh! Don't hurt me anymore, sister!"
Ami smiled. "Don't worry! I'm not mad anymore…" She walked over to Meiruuna and sat down next to her. "But Meiruuna, please… Just give this place a chanc, okay? Stay with us, at least for a few days…" She held Meiruuna's hand. "I want to show you the good things about 'normal' humans…"
Meiruuna turned away. "Ami, I--"
"And I don't care what horrible things you have done… You're the only real family I have now, and I don't want to lose you again!" Ami hugged Meiruuna. "Come on, let's start over, okay?"
Meiruuna hugged back. "Alright, fine… I will give this place a chance…"
Kai cheered. "Whoo-hoo! We get to live in a place filled with babes!" Kai 'eeped' as he was picked up by the ears by Kaolla.
"Yeah, and if we catch you trying anything, we'll let Rikina handle you!" Kaolla threatened the rabbit, edging him closer and closer to Rikina. "Nyahaha…"
Kai whimpered. "You're a meanie…"
Kaolla stuck her tongue out at the black rabbit0. "Well, you're a mean little bunny!"
Kai smirked, crossing his arms. "Well, I guess you're right…"
Shinobu stood up. "Well, I'll go check on dinner! Everyone get ready to wash your hands!" She walked into the kitchen, Ami following her to go help.
Sarah rubbed her temples. "Argh, I'm getting too old for this shit… Now we've got 2 talking flying rabbits… Ami's isn't too bad, but Meiruuna's…" She yanked on the lollipop in her hair, but it was stuck. She sighed, trying to keep calm. She looked over to Nina. "Nina, honey, get mama-Sarah the scissors…"
Nina saluted Sarah. "Okily-Dokily!" She quickly ran off to fetch a pair of scissors.
"And I'd better not catch you running like that with those scissors!" Sarah quickly added. She looked over to a pile of letters. "Alright, let's check the mail… Bills, bills, Rikina's stupid magazine, some fragile looking package…" Anything that didn't interest Sarah, she would toss it behind her. Suddenly, an envelope caught her eye. She picked it up and read it. "Ah, shit…" The name of the person who sent the envelope: Kazuma Matsuda, father of Tokimi.
