*~* Means change from the story to Ixi, Chloe and Rayden or from the three to the story
Chapter 5 Tag?
*~*
"Auntie Ixi?" Chloe asked after I had stopped for a second. "Yes sweetie?" "How much of this is really real?" I leaned back smiling. "As much of it as you want it to be." I said after a short pause. Chloe gave me a black stare before smiling. "So he could be real?" She said holding up the picture of Kurama I had drawn with the rose. "Why? Think he's cute?" I pried, as she blushed deep red. "Chloe and Kurama sitting in a tree, K-I-S- S-I-N-G, first com-"Now enough of that." I said defensively and Rayden shut up. "Okay what happened next?" He asked impatiently. "Where were we again?" "At dinner after you got Cricket." "Oh right well dinner . . .
*~*
It wasn't SO bad. I mean no monsters crashed the party, well that weren't already there. Meaning Kuwabara and Cricket. CRASH! Kuwabara was punched through the wall. Cricket scurried under the table hissing at him. "Uh Kuwabara?" "Present." He said weakly. "I said he's NOT a people- friendly kitty." "I know but I couldn't resist. I love kitties." Hiei leaned over to look under the table. "Ixi, I'm going to ask you again, are you sure that thing is a cat?" He asked looking up to me. "Uh? I'm starting to question that myself." Cricket scurried from under the table to my shoulder. "Meeeeeeeeeooooooooooooow!" He protested. "Heh, he's my Japanese Man-eating Cricket, and that's all I can say Hiei." Everybody just kinda sweatdropped and continued with their meal. Kuwabara eventually dragged himself back to the table after Yukina healed most of the scratches. "Ixi, I have one thing to say to you," Kuwabara said while looking at Cricket on my shoulder, "That is not a cat. And I know cats." "Eh, cat enough for me." I replied turning back to my food.
The rest of dinner went fine until Puu fluttered into the room and settled down near Yusuke. Cricket immediately reacted by jumping off my shoulder and running across the table to reach the strange blue creature. I lunged forward in an attempt to grab the cat but Cricket was just too fast. He was upon Puu before anyone could grab him. "Meow?" Cricket's hair was standing on its end. "Puu!" Puu cried. Cricket seemed to debate over if it was a good thing or a bad thing. "Meow?" He seemed to ask a question to the strange blue thing. "Meow?" He seemed to ask a question to the strange blue thing. "Puu." Cricket cocked his head to one side. //Ah the language barrier. \\ I looked at my confused cat then I saw something weird. Cricket's blue eyes flashed silver for a second. //Wait, silver? It must be a trick of the light or something. \\ I tried to convince myself it was nothing.
Cricket hissed and scurried off, and by some unknown signal Puu flew after him. I looked up once they left, and saw Kurama with a look of deep thought in his eyes. I shrugged it off and finished my dinner. Everybody stared at me as I rose from the table and took my dishes into the kitchen. Walking from the hall to my room seemed to take forever, I don't know why, but time seemed to slow. / "Ixi" \ The all too familiar voice in my head was back. //Listen, if you are going to talk in my head can I at least know your name? \\ / ". . ." \ //You do that way too much. \\ / "Well really I don't have a name." \ //What? No name? Can I give you one then? \\ / "Uh, I guess it wouldn't kill me." \ //Tell me about your self. \\ / "What? Why?" \ //So I can give you a name that fits you. \\ / "Oh, okay, umm? I'll have to think about it. Bye" \ //WHAT? You can't leave come back here. \\ / ". . . ." \ //I hate you. \\ I muttered in my thoughts, finally reaching my room.
I opened the door and walked in only to find several piles of sketchbooks and sheet music scattered over the floor. "Meow?" Cricket's playful meow told me he had created the mess. "Cricket." I sighed picking the nearest pile of sheet music up. I smiled looking at the piece I had picked up. "C'est La Vie" by Shania Twain. (A/N: If you have a problem with country music just remember, it's YOUR problem.) I smiled and picked up my guitar and then I went over to my bed. I gently plucked the strings, playing the melody of the song. I stopped when soft footsteps were heard. "Don't you people know how to knock?" I snapped turning to see who had barged into my room. "No." Kurama replied as he stepped over the pile of music to come closer. "What do you want?" I snappishly asked. "To talk." He calmly replied. "Yeah, well I don't." I went back to strumming on the guitar, but this time only doing scales. "What were you playing before?" I glared at him, "Why do you care?" //Why am I being so rude to him? \\ I asked myself as he just calmly sat there, taking it as if I was saying nothing.
Cricket made his presence known by hissing loudly at Kurama. I looked at my strange cat and saw his eyes flicker silver again. Kurama must have seen it too because he stood up and grabbed Cricket by the scruff of his neck. Cricket defiantly laid his ears back and hissed even louder, but his eyes didn't change again. Kurama just kept staring at the cat. //Whoa! Hold on, not Kurama's eyes too! Amber? \\ Kurama's eyes changed just like Cricket's, but his seemed to reflect amber, not silver. But I couldn't be sure of what I had seen. Kurama put the cat down who then darted out of sight. "You sure that's a cat?" "For the last time no!" I crossed my arms, "Why does it matter if Cricket is a cat? He is a stray that Kyle found and gave to me." Something I said must have got the gears turning in his head because Kurama went into the deep thought mode before leaving my room.
*** The next day ***
"Do you people have to follow me everywhere I go?" I said looking up at the dark clad figure on top of the lamppost. "Yes." I sighed, "Rhetorical question Hiei." "Hn, whatever." I started walking again. Sunday crowds swarmed on the sidewalks making it hard to get around. //Why couldn't Kurama be the one who had to "protect" me today? All Hiei does is Hn! \\ I pushed past some punk wanna be to get out of the crowd. "Hey stupid watch where you're going!" He yelled pushing my shoulder. "Watch it your self!" I hissed back. The stupid punk pulled out a small dagger. I cleared my throat and pointed to something behind him. He stiffened as Hiei's katana sheath was poked in his back. The kid put up his hand and dropped the dagger. I started walking again and Hiei vanished. "Oh the perks." I happily whispered folding my arms behind my back. //Well at least I don't have to get my hands dirty fighting wanna be's. \\
/ "Hello" \ //Oh not you again! \\ / "That hurts." \ //Well at least you said hello this time instead of barging in to head. \\ / "Heh, heh" \ //So? \\ / "So what?" \ // Ugh, I'm completely and utterly surrounded by idiots! \\ / "Really?" \ // . . .\\ / "Hey I'm actually talking now and you aren't listening!" \ //Point? \\ / ". . . "\ //Exactly, none whatsoever! \\ / "Bye." \ //Bai. \\ "Ixi? Hello anybody home?" I shook my head coming out of the conversation with, uh the thing in my head. "W-what?" "You stopped, and then you didn't answer." I just gave Hiei a blank stare. "Hey Hiei I got a question for you." Hiei sighed, "What?" "Uh this might sound stupid, but have you ever had a voice in your head?" Hiei just gave me a blank stare, "Yeah, his name is Kuwabara and his annoying voice won't leave." I started to laugh.
I looked over to a café near where we were. "C'mon lets go." I cried grabbing hold of a surprised Hiei's arm, pulling him toward the café. "W- what?" He stuttered being yanked forward. I had no intention of getting coffee or anything; a poster in the window had caught my attention. It read as follows:

"Wait here Hiei, I'll be right back." "Hey wait, get back here." He cried as I practically flew through the doors. I rushed up to a waitress and I heard the bell for the door ring. "Excuse me miss, where is the sign up sheet?" I asked as a confused Hiei appeared behind me. "Right over there on the counter sweetie." She replied sweetly pointing me in the right direction. I walked over to the counter ignoring the battery of questions Hiei was giving me. I took the pencil and neatly wrote my name and talent. "Ixiada Dragona, talent(s) Uh? Hmm what should I do?" I muttered as I read. "Singing and playing the guitar. (If musical what song & artist/if poetry what's the tittle & author/if dancing what song? /if written author?)" I read out loud again. I glanced over at Hiei; he had a mixture of confusion and anger in his eyes. "Hmm? Yeah that one." I said going over the songs I could play on my guitar and sing too. I scribbled down the song and artist and put the pencil down. "Okay lets go."
"What were you doing?" He asked following me out of the café. I stayed silent pretending not to hear him. "I asked you a question!" He glared at me. I had a flyer in my hand to remind me of the time for practice, time to show up etc... and I was folding it the unfolding it, thinking about ways to ignore a person. "Hn!" Hiei said before vanishing in his usual way. I put the now slightly ripped paper in my pocket and walked on. //Am I crazy doing this talent show? \\ I asked myself. / "No" \ //Hey look, nameless is back! \\ I sarcastically exclaimed in my head. / "Heh, heh humor . . . funny" \ //Hey that's my sarcastic line! \\ / "Not anymore!" \ //Hey I got a name for you! \\ / "Yeah? What is it?" \ //Cyrus. \\ /"Why Cyrus?" \ //I dunno, it sounds kewl. \\ / ". . ." \ //Fine be that way, I'll think of a different name. \\ / "No, Cyrus is fine." \ I froze //That sounded like Kyle. \\ I thought softly, but Cyrus must have left because he didn't reply.
"Earth to Ixi!" Came Hiei's annoyed voice, ripping me from my thoughts yet again. "Yes?" I asked, once again a blank faced person. "You spaced out AGAIN." I sheepishly grinned and scratched the back of my head. "You know how you have that voice in your head called Kuwabara that won't go away?" "Yes why?" "Because I got one named Cyrus that keeps leaving." "Cyrus?" "Eh, he didn't have a name so I gave him one." "Okay?" Hiei gave me a skeptical look before continuing. "Lets get you home." "Yes good idea." I said pretending to stagger around. //I bet Hiei wishes Kurama was here instead of him too. \\ "Tag you're it!" I cried as I poked Hiei's head and took off in a run to the temple. I turned around; Hiei just stood there with a blank look on his face. "Tag?" I could hear him mutter. //This is going to be interesting. \\ I said laughing inside my head.
