Telepathic talk / "(Insert words)" \
*~* Means change from the story to Ixi, Chloe and Rayden or from the three to the story
Chapter 8 Dog Days
*~*
"Auntie Ixi?" "Yes Rayden?" "How much of this story is real?" He said looking at his sister hug the life out the picture. "As much or as little as you want it to be. Now on with the story . . ."
*~*
"We're back!" I announced, slowly walking up the stone pathway to the garden. Everybody but Hiei and Yukina were sitting on the porch, enjoying the beautiful evening. Hiei was in his tree, watching Yukina beautify the garden that was already drop dead gorgeous. I could see Kuwabara longing to go over to his "true love" but was forcibly seated on the porch. Kurama took a seat with the others but I headed straight for my room to put all my stuff away and grab a sketchbook. Only this time Cricket did make me fall on my butt. "Cricket!" I said irked by the cat's sudden appearance. Cricket scurried off and I didn't think much about it. Grabbing my sketchbook I went back to the porch and took a seat.
The sunset was casting beautiful shadows on the scenery and I wanted to capture it in one of my pictures. / "Hola" \ //Spanish now? Find a new book, psycho librarian? \\ / "No, and I'm not a psycho librarian. Where in the great Nigenkai do you come up with these things?" \ //What are you? \\ / "Huh? What do you mean?" \ //You said nigen, then Nigenkai, not normal human words, add the fact that you're telepathic and questions start to raise. \\ / "Uh, err got to go!" \ Cyrus rapidly left and I was left without answers. //Hmp, there are other ways to getting answers. \\ I took out my bracelet and the book soon appeared. I got curious looks from the gang. "Show me Cyrus." I told the book, and surprisingly enough it obeyed but it only flipped to a page reading NO MATCHES FOR CYRUS FOUND. //Damn. \\
"Whoa, cool book. Show me The Great Kazuma Kuwabara." Came the stupid reply from Kuwabara. I had been flipping through the pages and as soon as the command from Kuwabara came out the pages turned blank. "Good job Kuwabara, you broke the book." Yusuke said laughing at him. //Sigh, and these people are suppose to be protecting me, why? Or even how for that matter? \\ I could see Kurama start to chuckle as if he could read my thoughts. //Wait, he can't read my thoughts can he? \\ Just a bigger smile on the redhead's face. //Well that sucks, hey maybe since he is telepathic he is Cyrus! Hey I wonder if I'm telepathic too or just a person of coincidence? Hey that would explain the smartness; Kurama's really smart, I think. Oi Kurama, if you're telepathic say sumthin'! \\ / "Who is Kurama?" \ //Hey look, it's chief dodges questions. \\ / "Ya, well I'll just be leaving then." \ //Get back here Cyrus! \\ / "Ahhhhh! Run away!" \ he teasing said as he left the recesses of my mind.
Now the look on Kurama's face was one of shock. He caught my gaze and he mouthed the words "Who is Cyrus?" A pretended to not understand him and looked away. I could feel his curious gaze but I forced myself to look away. As I looked away Hiei's curious glance caught my attention. I ignored them the best way I knew how to, start drawing. It was a picture of a beautiful fox. If the picture was colored, the fox would have been a silvery white. The fox was leaping in the picture and all four feet were off the ground. To fantasize the picture a little bit I gave the fox nine tails instead of just one. Then I was compelled to draw Kurama as sort of an off center for the picture. Kurama surrounded by rose petals that were blowing in the wind. I looked back from the picture shocked at what I drew.
I stood up, and I must have stood up to fast because my head started spinning. I could feel myself fall to the ground but could stop it. I also felt someone quickly grab me so I didn't fall. These are only the first things I remembered.
*****Blackout*****
I opened my eyes and I was surrounded by darkness. I slowly sat up and looked around, I could hear two separate people calling my name. "Cyrus? Kurama?" I questioned as I looked for familiar faces. The first face I saw did not look familiar or friendly for that matter. A huge red dragon was soaring towards me on huge wings. I could see fire and wrath in its eyes. As it got closer it opened its mouth and I could see fire in the back of its throat. The red dragon released the fire and I screamed as the mass of flames soared towards me. But, before the fire hit me, or even came close enough to singe me, a jet of water came from the side of me. A blue dragon appeared and it landed in front of me. Its blue wings were set at an angle as if posturing. The blue dragon was beautiful; it had three long horns on its head, one big one on the top and the other two directly behind it. It had two long fangs coming from its lip on the side I could see. On the long blue tail a sharp looking spike glittered in the light that did not exist.
The blue dragon opened its mouth and an earth-shattering roar came from deep within the throat. //Oh God, I'm going to die! \\ The red dragon retorted back with an equally loud roar. And so it started, the red dragon lunged forward and grabbed the blue by the neck. Its sharp fangs sinking into the blue flesh. The blue defended by twisting its body and pushing the red off it. The red rose to its hind legs and so did the blue. They locked their forelegs, each pushing back on the other as hard as they could. Another set of earth shattering roars sent the ground trembling. Then the blue dragon got the advantage and sent the red dragon crashing to the ground. The blue dragon put its front foot on the red's throat to keep it down. "Looks like you lose again Ezra." Came a strangely familiar voice from behind me. I looked over to behind the fallen red dragon and there was a strange looking guy holding some kind of cards. I say he looked strange because he looked like a bat/person. He had bat wings and some bat facial features. I turned and behind me was a guy who looked like a cross between a dog and a guy. He had dog like ears on the top of his head and a dog's tail was swishing back and forth behind him. "Shut up Cyrus, I was going easy on you since your new around here." //That's Cyrus? \\ "Sure you were, and the last five times too." Ezra got a steamed look on his face, "Novo, return!" He cried and the red dragon vanished into red light, which disappeared into the card he held.
Cyrus chuckled as the steamed bat/person vanished into thin air. His blue dragon sauntered over to him, "Good job Kyna." I swear the dragon curled up into a ball and began to purr like a cat as Cyrus began to pet her head. "Cyrus?" I whispered slowly walking forward. Cyrus froze and began to look around. "Huh?" He said looking for whoever called out his name. I took another step forward and the dragon's blue eyes slitted as she growled. "Huh? Who is there? Show yourself!" //He can't see me? Freaky. \\
**********
"Ixi? Ixi?" The voice faded in and out as it echoed in my head. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. Everybody was crowded around me with worried faces. "Huh? What happened?" Kurama must have been the one who had caught me before I had fallen. "Ixi, you blacked out on us." He calmly said, but his eyes deceived his true feelings. His green eyes were full of worry. "Huh, I did?" I was speaking slowly and everything was blurry. "Oi, my head!" I exclaimed as a headache rushed through it. "Yeah, you did black out on us, Ixi are you okay?" Kurama was questioning me, I knew it, but I couldn't seem to answer back. / "Ixi? Are you okay?" \ Cyrus was back in my head. //Cyrus? Hey I got questions that need answers! \\ / "Got to go b-\ //No you stay here and answer! \\ / "Fine, I'll answer what do you want to know?" \ //Are you a dog? \\ / "What kind of question is that?" \ //Well not the woof, woof, four legged. mans best friend dog, but uh, you look like a normal person despite the dog-ears and tail? \\ / "Uh, that's a strange question why are you asking me this?" \ I could hear the nervousness in his voice. //Grrr, your not answering the question! \\ / "Sorry, gotta go, sayonara!" \
Sighing audibly I sat up and watched the sun go down, all the while getting worried looks from everybody. I looked on my bracelet and now there were three charms, a book, a sketchbook and a dragon. "Hmm, I wonder what the sketchbook and dragon ones do?" I took the sketchbook charm in my hand and just like the book there was now a sketchbook in my hand. I took the pencil that was connected to the spiral binding of the book. I flipped to a blank page and began drawing a fox cub. It didn't turn out half bad either until the picture started to glow. I looked into the garden and right before everybody's eyes the fox I had draw was sitting near some roses. "I swear I didn't do it!" I cried as the fox stood up and chased after a butterfly. Nobody said a word but Hiei ended up catching it and he brought it back, along with several bites on his arm. "Uh?" Is all I could say in explanation.
The fox cub obviously did NOT like to be held, and a firm bite from it on Hiei's arm quickly made him drop it. The fox scurried out of sight until I got an idea. On the picture I drew a collar on the fox and tied a rope connected to the ground onto the collar. The fox was tied. "Heh, oops." I sweatdropped trying to figure out how to fix whatever I just did. Hiei walked up to me to see what I did and I saw blood running down his arm from the bite. "HIEI, are you okay!?" I exclaimed as he tried to hide his arm from me. "What did you do, and how did you do it?" Kurama asked also looking at my picture. "I suppose, I don't know isn't very helpful right now?" "No, it isn't." "I don't know how the fox thingy appeared nor do I know how to make it go away." I said staring at the fox that was biting at the rope which bound it to the ground. "Uh, guys it's starting to vanish." Kuwabara said and I looked down to my paper, my eraser had gently rubbed a spot on the picture. "Wait, fox return!" I cried and low and behold the fox began to turn into light which returned to the paper.
Funny thing though, now that the fox was back in the picture, the picture now moved as if it were alive. "Okay, that's different." I began to draw the fox a background to play in and as soon as there was something to hide behind the fox disappeared. The movements of the fox were beautiful though; the image seemed to leave an after image of a few lines. //So Cyrus is a dog person, I can make my drawings come to life, and I have a talent show in front of a huge crowd of people in a week. Heh, sounds like fun doesn't it? \\
