------A New Perspective------
Crystal was laying on the ground unconscious. She was still seriously injured, although she would live, it was unclear whether she would make a full recovery or not. Not five minutes passed before Shiva arrived on the scene, which was still the Tendo Dojo.
"What were those power surges?! What happened to Crystal?! Someone answer me!"
Ranma shrugged, "Maybe we should sit down while the girls do something about bandaging Crystal up. I somehow doubt this would be easy to explain to Tofu-sensei."
*-*-*-*
"Well, she should be alright now," said Akane entering the dinning room from the backyard.
Crystal had been bandaged up and was currently sleeping on a spare futon on the Dojo. So far there had been no sign that she would wake up any time soon, but it was probably better for her to rest anyway.
"Are you sure?" asked Shiva.
Akane nodded confirmation, "She'll be fine. Inuyasha insisted on staying in the Dojo to keep an eye on her and of course Kagome is with him."
"It's almost sunset," noted Tyriel. "Perhaps we should think about getting something to eat."
"I'll make dinner," volunteered Akane.
"No!" shouted several sane voices.
"Yes!" shouted one insane voice.
All eyes went to Shiva.
"What?"
*-*-*-*
After the little incident with Chaos Dukemon in the afternoon, Genma Saotome and Soun Tendo had up and left on what they called a "training trip" to escape any further monster attacks. With this being the case, there was no real adult supervision in the Tendo House or Dojo, and yet things seemed to be going perfectly well for the assortment of teenagers that had taken to being there during the course of the afternoon and evening.
Ranma, Akane, Nabiki and Shiva were sitting around the table in the dinning room. Tyriel or rather Xakis was looming in the corner indifferently, occasionally gazing out to the Dojo where Crystal was perfectly helpless.
"And that guy is Crystal's friend?" asked Shiva disbelievingly.
"Yes," confirmed Nabiki.
"She has weirder people following her around than I do," said Ranma.
Akane hit Ranma over the head with the usual mallet, "And here you were doing such a good job of keeping your foot out of your mouth this evening."
"I still can't believe we managed to pull this off," noted Nabiki. "Who's idea was it to make a second floor for the Dojo and put in guest rooms?"
Ranma shrugged, "I just thought it was a good idea and besides, we have more than enough guests dropping by regularly."
"Crystal's going to be surprised to find all her stuff in that room," noted Shiva.
"Did you file the report that she is leaving her apartment?" asked Akane.
Shiva nodded, "All taken care of."
*-*-*-*
A little later, Shiva and Tyriel headed to the Dojo to set up their own sleeping arrangements. Crystal was in what would be her new room, but had not yet regained consciousness since the afternoon attack.
The lower level of the Dojo consisted of the initial Dojo with all the training equipment and various weapons. To the side, in a separate room was a living room with a couch and a set of chairs along the wall with a full entertainment system along the opposite wall. There was a table in the middle of the room and off to the side was a small kicthen area.
The upstairs area basically led to a hallway with doors along the sides that led to the guest rooms, one of which already had a nameplate for Crystal on it and a final doorway at the end that led to the bathroom. Shiva had already decided he would claim one of the others rooms for his own, but for now he was going to train in the Dojo for a little while.
Tyriel decided to crash on the couch since he wasn't sure how long he would be staying anyway.
"Bakusai Tenketsu!" came the familiar sound of Ryoga's voice combined with the sounds of a wall being smashed through.
[Breaking Point]
Shiva looked out into the yard and spotted Ryoga, "Ryoga do you have to damage property whenver you get lost?"
"I finally made it to the Dojo!" shouted Ryoga loudly.
A boot flew out of Akane's window, which shattered in the process, and smacked into Ryoga's forehead, sending him sprawling into the pond. Shiva shook his head and picked up the small black piglet that was Ryoga's cursed form.
"I'll get you some hot water."
*-*-*-*
Ryoga had given Shiva the slip of paper from Washu, which he had fished out of his clothing. Washu had used some kind of ink that didn't smeer, and Shiva nearly fell off of the chair he was sitting on when he read the paper over. He read it again and this time he did fall off of the chair. Tyriel continued to sleep peacefully.
"I'm decended from Miroku and Sango!" Shiva exclaimed as tears of laughter formed in his eyes.
Ryoga didn't understand what was so funny, but he imagined that Shiva was somehow familiar with the people in the message. Ryoga remembered the other thing that Washu had told him and spoke up, "Washu said you should tell the people on the paper about it."
"And cause a time paradox? I don't think so," stated Shiva returning to himself.
Ryoga shrugged, "Whatever."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha had finally fallen asleep at some point before the sun started rising into the sky. Kagome had fallen asleep sometime before then. Crystal was still sleeping, but as Psycmon had pointed out, she would live.
Psycmon and Pichu were nowhere to be found within the confines of the Tendo Residence. If anyone had been awake to notice, this wouldn't have surprised them. The fact that Akane was making breakfast did not count.
**Stench**
"Gah!" Inuyasha woke up to a smell that was incredibly unpleasant. "What's that smell?! It smells like Miroku's old sock!"
Kagome openned her eyes groggily, "Inuyasha do you even know what socks are?"
"Yes," answered Inuyasha.
"Does Miroku wear them?" asked Kagome.
"When he comes into this era he does," replied Inuyasha.
Kagome blinked, "Miroku has not been in this era."
"He will though," noted Inuyasha.
"Sit," stated Kagome.
**Wham**
"What was that for?" asked Inuyasha from the floor.
"You were giving away the story," replied Kagome.
"Oh," sweatdropped Inuyasha.
Tyriel poked his head in the door, "I hope that's not breakfast."
"What Akane is cooking up in the kitchen or the socks?" asked Kagome.
"Er--both," answered Tyriel, "although right now I'm more concerned about what is in the kitchen."
Tyriel turned around in the hallway to see Akane with a crimson aura surrounding her and a mallet in her hand. He blinked before saying, "Weren't you in the kitchen?"
"Uh-oh," even Inuyasha could guess what that crimson aura and mallet meant. "Tyriel, you should run. Now."
Tyriel nodded, "I was thinking the same thing."
He bolted down the hallway, towards the stairs to avoid Akane's wrath. She chased after him, mallet in hand.
*-*-*-*
Breakfast consisted of take-out okonomiyaki after Ranma had managed to drag Akane out of the kitchen. This had resulted in getting thrown into the pond and going female again, but at least she was safe from that so-called "food".
"Is Crystal supposed to be outside?" asked Ranma.
Tyriel replied, "She was upstairs, in the Dojo, sleeping."
"Actually, she's sitting in the tree outside," said Ranma.
Shiva sounded something like a mother hen as he shouted, "CRYSTAL YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RESTING!"
"I am resting," replied Crystal quietly.
"You should be in bed!" exclaimed Shiva.
"I'm more comfortable up here," replied Crystal.
"You're still bleeding!" exclaimed Shiva.
"So?" Crystal shrugged.
A few minutes later Crystal was unconscious again, still up in the tree. She wasn't actually bleeding, but Shiva thought it would make a good argument.
*-*-*-*
A little later in the afternoon, Crystal was almost completely healed. Kagome and Akane dragged her away from her game of Chrono Cross and to the dinning room table inside the house. Crystal wasn't sure why, but something about this made her nervous.
"Crystal all of your clothing is torn and at least a size too small for you," started Akane.
"And it all smells like blood," added Inuyasha from the doorway.
Kagome continued, "When was the last time you got new clothes?"
Crystal blinked and started counting backwards on her fingers, "I guess it has been a while. I didn't go shopping regularly when I was training before I settled in Nerima and I really haven't gotten around to it here. I don't know."
"We're taking you to the mall!" stated Akane and Kagome at the same time.
