Chapter 6 A Simple Piece of Paper

*~*
"Auntie Ixi, why did you call the voice in your head Cyrus?" Chloe asked still holding the picture of Kurama. "Uh? I don't know, like I said, it sounded kewl." "Hey Chloe, Auntie Ixi, the rain stopped!" Rayden exclaimed. All three of us looked out the smeared and dust covered window, to see the sun making an appearance. "But I want to finish the story!" Chloe protested. "Only 'cuse you're in love with a guy who doesn't really exist!" He cried back. "Kurama does too exist, Auntie Ixi said so! Isn't he real Auntie Ixi?" Chloe exclaimed. //Hmm, do I tell them or let it build up for a little while longer? Decisions, decisions. \\ "Uh, like I said that is something you must decide for yourself. Now do you want to continue the story or go outside?" "STORY!" Chloe cried, "OUTSIDE!" Rayden cried equally loud. A thunderous crash from outside settled the argument, "Well the story it is . . .

"C'mon Hiei, please tell me you've played Tag before?" I had run back to the confused short one. Hiei only gave me a blank look. //Well that settles that I guess. *Sigh* how can you not know how to play Tag? \\ "Seriously? You don't even know what it is?" Hiei was trying to hide the fact he had no clue. "Jeez." I began to walk off my arms folded behind my head. He wasn't following me and when I looked back I saw something in his hand. As soon I looked back though, he hid it behind his back and glared.

We finally reached the temple and the first person we saw was Yukina. "Hey Yukina." I said waving as she pulled a weed from her beautiful garden. She waved back smiling. I turned around to see what Hiei did to say hello but he had vanished. //Sigh, jeez that guy is anti-social. \\ / "Who?" \ //Cyrus? \\ / "The one and only." \ //Heh, what's up? \\ / "Oh the sky, the sun, there are probably some birds and planes flying around." \ //Literal much! \\ / "I know" \ //So what exactly do you do when you're not pestering me in my head? \\ / "Eh, lil' of this, lil' of that." \ //That's pretty vague and I said Exactly. \\ / "Eh, err, uh?" \ //Sigh, you're just as bad as Hiei, wait no Hiei is worse, he doesn't know what Tag is. \\ / "Tag?" \ //Ugh, not you too! \\ /No I know what Tag is. Game played usually by nigen children. One or more are it and if you get "tagged" by one of them you become it and the previous "it" isn't it anymore." \ //Jeez, you're like a librarian or something. \\ / "Heh, yes well . . ." \ //Hey wait you aren't some librarian who had too much time and then found this book of evil spells that lets you talk in people's minds are you? \\ / "Wow, that's some interesting err, logic." \ //Heh, I blame it on sugar, video games and cartoons. \\ / ". . ." \ //Yep, run away, far, far away. \\ / "I'll keep that in mind. I got to go bye." \ //Bai \\

"Ixi?" Kurama was next to me waving his hand in front of my face. "Hey, people keep doing that to me today." I said. Kurama simply gave me a confused look. "Ask Hiei." I said before walking on. //Okay, whenever I talk to Cyrus I space out and stop doing whatever I was doing. Hmm that's interesting. Wait, he said nigen, Hiei says that too. I wonder what that means anyway? \\ I stopped and turned around, Kurama was still there staring at me. "Kurama?" "Yes?" "What is a nigen?" "Uh, demon word for Human. Why?" "Oh, no reason." I said quickly as I took off for my room. He gave me a curious glance but didn't pry. //Well if there is one good thing about these people they don't question all too much. \\

I walked to my room and looked at the mess. "*Sigh* I should clean this place up." "Mew?" Came a timid cry from near my feet. "Oh Cricket, you don't look so good." "Mew." He replied weakly before scurrying off. "Huh? What's up with him?" I began to pick up sheet music and my sketchbooks, putting them in tidier piles. When most of them were picked up I went over to my bed and sat down. I reached into my pocket to take out the flyer to mess with something, but it was gone. "What? Hey where did it go?" *CRASH *BANG * THUD! * The "tidy" piles of stuff were over turned in search for the piece of paper. "Dang, where did that stupid thing go?" I exclaimed, frustrated by the fact that a little piece of paper was causing me to lose my mind. "What, this?" Came Hiei's taunting voice. He was leaning in the doorway, which I didn't even hear open the piece of paper unfolded in his hand. He turned the paper around to look at it but me lunging forward towards him didn't let him get a long look. "Hiei you little runt give it back!" I screamed chasing him down the hallway.

He chanced a glance back at my angry face just as Yukina was coming through the kitchen doorway. Hiei rammed on the brakes, but it was too late to stop. He crashed into her, but when he hit her he twisted his body so that when they crashed into the ground he was taking the force of the hit not her. Oooo and what a force it was. //That looked painful. \\ I thought gingerly walking over to them. "Hiei? Are you okay? Hiei?" Yukina said looking at the semi-unconscious Hiei underneath her. "Eh, I'm fine." He said weakly as the other Reikai Tantei ran to see the commotion. I was about to grab the piece of paper back, but Hiei returned to full consciousness and gripped it tighter. It ended up being a tug-of-war match between us until Kurama grabbed the paper from both our hands. "Hey, give it BACK!" I yelled about to tackle Kurama.

"All of this for some stupid piece of paper?" Yusuke asked annoyed. "HN!" I glared at him. "Give it Kurama!" I said making a grab for the paper, but it was one of those situations where the person with what you want is just that much taller than you were. Kuwabara grabbed my arms and held them behind my back as I kicked out with my legs. Kurama's green eyes quickly swept over the now ripped paper. "LET GO!" I screamed, using my bloody murder, high-pitched scream. Well, Kuwabara let me go. I lunged forward, pouncing on Kurama. I gripped his wrist that had the paper in it and dug my nails in. Kurama cried out in shock and the paper fluttered to the floor. Then Yusuke had to be stupid and grab the paper. "Keep AWAY FROM IXI!" He cried running down the hall with the paper. "Come back!" I cried exasperated. Before I could stop them, tear began forming in my eyes and instead of following Yusuke I ran to my room.

I slammed my door and leaned up against the door to prevent it from opening. / "Ixi? What's wrong?" \ I could hear Cyrus gently asking me questions but I refused to answer. In the same way I could hear someone softly knocking on my door and asking if I was okay. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed at whoever was at the door. "Ixi, please can I come in?" The whoever was Kurama. "NO I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" I could hear something hit the door with a soft thud. //Great, he's going to break down the door. \\ / "Who?" \ //Buzz off! \\ / "Huh? Ixi, what's going on?" \ //I said leave me alone! \\ / "Uh, . . .fine bye" \ Now I couldn't hold the tears back, they streamed white hot down my cheeks. "Ixi?" Kurama had neither left nor bust down the door. Before I could stop it, Kurama forced the door open and I was sent flying forward. I turned as he came in; he had a death glare every second. But despite that, Kurama knelt down and handed a now severally ripped flyer.

I snatched it from him, still glaring daggers through my tear-stained eyes. He had a sad smile as he gently wiped the stream of tears on one of my cheeks. I slapped his hand away, still glaring. He simply smiled and stood up and left without a word. Once he was out of sight I put my hand and gingerly touched the spot where he had wiped my tears away. His green eyes full of sadness still playing in my head. //Those eyes, so much like Kyle's. Whenever I would do something that ended up having me fall on my face he would be there for me, but now he's . . . \\ I sighed as a shiver of remembrance rushed through my spine. I heard footsteps coming closer to my still open door and I prepared a death glare for whoever that was too. It was Hiei. //Oooo, extra daggers for his death glare. \\ I muttered in my head as he stopped in my doorway. "Ixi?" He paused wanting to make sure he had my attention, so I turned my head so I was no longer looking at him. "Hn," he sighed taking a step forward. "Ixi, listen, I'm s-sorry." When the words came from his mouth he looked like he was speaking a foreign language.

"Like hell you are!" I said, still not looking at him. Hiei rolled his eyes and looked like he was thinking hard on how to word this so I would listen. "Ixi, I shouldn't have done it, and I won't do it again, I promise." He took a step forward. "Go away." I icily said. He sighed and sat down where he was so that we were at eye level. "Why were you trying to keep the talent show thing a secret?" I brought my knees under my chin, still not answering. Hiei simply sighed at my silence as he got up. "Well, dinner is ready if you're hungry." I nodded to show I was listening, and Hiei left. I looked at the piece of paper in my hand. Kurama had written something on it. "Good Luck Ixi" I sighed and stood up. As I walked towards the dinning room I could hear the group in there talking.

"So are we going to go to the talent show thing?" I could hear Yusuke ask. I stiffened near the door to listen. "No, we weren't invited to come. She'd just get mad." Hiei bluntly replied. "I don't care what you do, but I'm going, it's always nice to know that someone was there watching you that you know." Keiko said. "If Keiko goes then I'm going too." Yukina was the next to talk. "You guys do know she is just outside the door right?" Kurama asked, I could almost see the amused smile on his lips. I stiffened despite the amusement I was feeling. I started to tiptoe back to my room but the door to the dinning room opened and Kurama's very amused face appeared. I stuck my tongue out at him as he pulled me into the room.

After being dragged into the room and seated the conversation came to a halt. "Hey Kurama, how'd you know she was out there? I mean I didn't even sense her." Came Kuwabara's always confused voice. "I'm a fox Kuwabara, don't doubt my abilities." Kurama replied coolly. "Fox?" I softly questioned. Kurama heard me, but gave no reply. "Hn, Baka." I could hear Hiei mutter at Kuwabara's stupidity. I sighed and let my head rest on the table, showing I was bored. "Ixi?" Kurama asked. "Hn." I replied. //I've been around Hiei too long. \\ "Do you want us to come to that talent show?" Kurama continued. "Hn." I said again. "Talent show? Who is in a Talent show?" Genkai had walked into the room. Without looking up knew everybody in the room pointed to me. "Hnnnn." "Oh I see." She replied taking a seat at the table.

"Hiei, I blame you for this." I muttered as quietly as I could. "Really? What did I do?" He asked. "HNNNNNN!" I looked up at him. "Sarcasm." He muttered. I stood up and walked out. Cricket darted out and I practically fell over to avoid stepping on him. "Cricket!" //Today is just not my day. \\ I muttered in my head. When I reached my room it was surprisingly clean. //Hey I know I left this place in ruins! \\ I thought looking at the neat piles of music, art and other stuff. "What?" I exclaimed as I walked in. Bubbly laughs from behind me made me spin around. There was Yukina, with lots of cleaning supplies. "Oh, they must not have told you, every few weeks I'll go through and clean everything. If you don't want your room done then just say so." "No, it's okay thanks." I smiled as she disappeared down the hall. "Wow, I didn't think this room could be done that fast. She is a busy body." I muttered cheerfully as I went through the music.

I looked up as I heard a soft knock on the doorframe, because it had been one of the rare occasions I left my door open. Hiei was there looking at the neat room. "What do you want?" I asked, letting the ice seep into my voice. He sighed and came closer. From behind his back he pulled out an envelope and handed it to me. I took it and was about to open it when he started walking away. I opened it and took out the card inside. It was a card with Japanese symbols for good luck and a good luck message in the inside of the card, signed by everybody, Kurama, Yusuke, Yukina, Keiko, Kuwabara, Genkai, Botan and even Hiei and Puu signed it. Though Puu's was more of a paw print than a signature. I sighed and stood up. As I approached the dinning room I heard them talking again, but this time it was only making fun of an oblivious Kuwabara. I stuck my head into the room and the talking stopped. "Alright, alright you can come." I said and was about to turn around and go back to my room when Yusuke grabbed my arm. "C'mon, join us. Making fun of Kuwabara is fun." I laughed and let myself be dragged into the room.
