*~* Means change from the story to Ixi, Chloe and Rayden or from the three to the story
Chapter 10 School? Bah humbug! No School for me! I'm going to Makai!
*~*
"Auntie Ixi, what gives, Hiei wasn't really crying was he? He's too tough to cry." Rayden retorted. Chloe had gingerly put down the picture of Kurama and was looking at me curiously. "Nobody's too tough to cry." She softly said in Hiei's defense. "Like you would even know what being tough is, you just cry. And all the time." He taunted. "Rayden, urusai!" I warningly told him. He looked shocked at me telling him to shut up. Another clap of thunder sent a slight shiver down our spines. "Okay well after I was 'ready' for school I had to wait for the others to get up . . ."
*~*
On a whim I decided to make breakfast, I wasn't THAT bad of a cook, its not like I burn down the house, though some of the food as a slight burnt air about them, go figure. I was cooking my best dish, pancakes. Since I start from scratch I had to look for the ingredients. Looking for stuff, here is my belief to looking for stuff: Blind is the eye that seeks and the last place you look is where everything is found. Read that line carefully, it does NOT read you find stuff in the last place you think of looking, but simply in the last place you look. (Murphy's Law ^-^ He's so funny. State the obvious in fancy words and everyone thinks you're a genius.) Well to get at the flour I had to climb onto the counter-top. Not a smart idea-er there. I twisted coming down and fell to the floor, fortunately someone caught me.
I jumped up after glomping the person under me. Kurama and me were white with flour, EVIL FLOUR. "Kurama? *Cough*" The flour had gotten caught in my throat and my attempt to laugh sent me choking. "*Cough* What are you *cough* doing here?" I was sent into a coughing fit and Kurama rushed to get me a glass of water. He pushed me into a seat and I watched the clear water quickly race to the top of the glass. "Didn't you hear?" "Huh? Hear what?" //Well obviously I didn't hear, c'mon Kurama tell me! \\ "All the schools have been shut down today, there was an electrical problem in every single one." "Every single school?" I asked, almost spitting up the water I had just swallowed. "Yes, the companies in charge of all the electric stuff cant explain it." "That so? Wow." I took another sip of water. //Hmm, that's strange, ALL of the schools? They rarely ever close on blizzards, but all of them have electric problems? \\ "Hey Kurama, are the schools suffering from the same problem?" He thought a little bit before he answered, "I think so, well the systems were being check for possible student sabotage, and I think it had something to do with the problem."
My eyes widened. //No, this is what happened . . .\\ I jumped out of my seat and ran out the door. "See ya Kurama, I just remembered something I had to do. Bai!" //Damn, I just hope I'm not too late. \\ Running out the main gate I flew past Hiei who just gave me a shocked look. But as I ran I could feel something pulling me, sort of like wind but with a grip. I stopped and looked around. Empty, everyone was gone. //Strange, with all the schools closed there should be a gazillion people out here on the streets. \\ Then suddenly my vision went negative, which means all the colors turned to their opposite color. White was black, red blue etc... The pull became stronger and I could feel myself going somewhere. Not like walking but more like an instant transportation. I stumbled forward and when I looked up trees surrounded me. "Great, I wanted to come back here, where everything is trying to eat me." I sighed and pulled out the book.
"Hey mister book person thingy, can you show me a map of this place?" The book glowed blue and flipped open to the page of the map. "*Sigh* So I'm somewhere in Yo-ko's territory? Who's Yoko?" I asked to no one in particular. "That would be me." Came a slightly icy voice behind me. I spun around and saw the same silver hair and ears as in the book. "Crap, my day just got better." I sarcastically muttered. "I'm sure it did Ixi." I looked at the fox person again. //Wait just one second! That sounded like Kurama! \\ "Well heh, I'll just be leaving now. Bu bai." I said, standing and slowly stepping back a few feet. The amber eyes of Yoko rolled and he took a step forward. "No, you're not going anywhere. You're coming with me." He made a reach for my arm and I took off in a run. Heh, yeah, didn't get very far.
"LEMME GO YOU HENTASIA!" I screamed slapping him as he grabbed my arm. "So I'm perverted?" The ice back in his voice. "That's not something I would call the person who has your life in their hands." (Hentasia = perverted person) I glared daggers at him, not much else I could do, he had me pinned to the ground. "GET OFF BAKA HENTASIA!" I screamed pulling an arm out of his grip and ramming it into his throat. He fell back unable to breathe. I took my chance and ran for it. Before I could stop I had run into a river, water was splashing up in my face as I stopped and looked around. Something was different about the river. The waters flowed but I felt no pull. I knelt down to the river, gingerly putting a hand near the running current as one does to comfort a sick person. And as I did so a strange flashback popped into my head. Something about a silvery serpentine dragon, flowing with the water's current, breathing life into the river. "Huh?" I asked as I came back to reality.
"Seems you've discovered Void River nigen." I spun around and Yoko was there glaring at me, his throat a slight purple. "Void River?" I asked confused by the name. "Yes Void River, the river is unable to sustain life in or around it, so it sucks the life from that which is around it." I sloshed through the water to the other bank. "Like I asked." I said and began walking off. Yoko rolled his eyes again and jumped the river landing gracefully in my way. I stopped and looked up at him as he glared down. "You're coming with me nigen." He forcibly said again grabbing my arm. "Like hell I am." I yelled trying to twist to get away from him, no such luck. "Lemme go!" I screamed as high as I could. He grabbed my other arm and twisted my body so it looked like he was hugging me from standing behind me. I kicked out my legs and they met only air. Yoko leaned back and my feet no longer touched the ground. Kicking all the way he walked off to somewhere I had never been before.
I screamed the entire way calling him every name under the sun plus a few more. He seemed finally sick of it and threw me down. I landed with a defined thud and looked up to glare at him. But he wasn't looking at me at all; he was warily watching one direction as if expecting something big and bad to come out of it. I was about to say something when he dashed the few feet to me and picked me up. He began running, carrying me bridal style through the forest. I looked behind him and saw several demons searching for something in the place we just were. I drew in a nervous breath as Yoko set me gently down in the roots of a huge tree and motioned me to be quiet. I nodded and watched him eye the demons like a fox watches something moving. I got bored watching him and looked to another part of the forest. A huge beast was gliding over the tops of the trees; it sort of looked like a whale with six really long fins. A mysteriously beautiful song came from it and I felt entranced.
Like at the river, I felt like I was remembering something from a long time ago. The dragon from the first was back again, this time sailing in the skies along side the huge flying creatures. It flew like a ribbon in the wind, its head never moved but its body was spiraling in the wind. Then the dragon took a turn in mid-air and cascaded down to the earth. But before the dragon collided with the earth it took off and soared along the ground barely inches from the plants below it. I could feel myself flying with the dragon, wind blasting in my face sending a chill of excitement through me.
But alas, this one lasted barely longer than the first. I was sent flying with a force of an attack. The demons had found us and Yoko was busy fighting with half of them. I got up and slowly brushed the dirt from my clothes looking up to glare at the freak. "Heh, I don't know why the lord wants you, you baka nigen, there is nothing special about you to me." "Hmp, shows how much you know." Came my snippy reply. "Ooo, fiery wench aren't you?" Hissed the purple freak. "You have no idea." I turned and looked up. Hiei was standing on a low branch of a nearby tree. "Hiei?" I asked as he jumped down and stood in front of me. "Hn." He said, taking out a katana and stepping forward once again. //Yep, that's Hiei. \\ I sarcastically told myself as half the demons fell in a split second. Seeing most of their friends dead the remaining few attempted to run. Heh, they didn't get very far. After his image reappeared Hiei walked over to me, anger in his eyes. "What the hell are you doing in Makai? Didn't get enough excitement last time?" He snapped. "Hey shorty, I don't want to come to your twisted excuse for a world. It just happens and I can control it." I screamed back at him. "Shorty? I'm taller than you." Hiei snapped again. It was true; he was about an inch taller.
My short fuse finally vanished. I turned heel and stalked off, again not the smartest thing I could have done, but when someone gets me mad, oh it's duck and cover. I could hear him call after me and I lengthened my stride. / "Hello." \ //Go away! \\ / "Huh? Wha I do?" \ //GO AWAY! \\ / "Okay? If you're sure." \ //Very. \\ / "Well, bye Ixi." \ //...\\ / "*sigh*" \ I started walking again but by now Hiei and Yoko had caught up. Hiei grabbed my arm and I was yanked back. "Grrr, lemme go freak." I screamed attempting to pull free. I glared, letting all my weight lean back. Hiei let go I fell on my butt. Hiei rolled his eyes and turned muttering something in a language I didn't know. "Yoko, she's your problem now." Hiei said in english. "Why are you sticking her on me?" Yoko asked in a teasing voice. "Because if I stay near her any longer, she might no longer have a head." With that last remark Hiei took off. "Hmp." I said, again stalking off. I could here Yoko sigh as he jogged to catch up.
From past experiences, I knew it was better to walk away than to fight. Yoko must have know this too for he kept a distance in between me and him, small enough so he saw me and could protect me, and large enough so he wasn't imposing on me and my temper. //Why does everything bad have to happen to me? What the hell did I ever do to deserve this? \\ I yelled in my head. / "It is a gift, not the curse you take it as." \ //Whoa, hello, who the hell are you? \\ I questioned to the new female voice in my head. //Hello? Explanation please! \\ I hissed to the silence in my head. //Okay, why the hell does everyone keep talking to me through my head? \\ / "Cause everyone loves you to death." \ Cyrus was back. //Who the hell was that? \\ / "Who was who?" \ //Ugh, you're like talking to a brick. \\ / "Huh?" \ //My point is proven. \\ / "Huh? What point?" \ // *Sigh* hopeless. \\ / "Ha, gotcha. You fell for my act." \ //Act? You must be some kinda actor then. I gotta go bye. \\ I snorted and began to walk again, and by now Yoko had caught up with me. "Are you okay?" He asked. I slowly nodded hugging myself as I sat. Yoko sat down near me too, "Ixi, are you sure your okay? Please tell me what is wrong, I can sense something is wrong."
I sighed bringing my knees under my chin, "I feel like I've been here before, a really long time ago, but that's impossible isn't it?" I asked turning slightly to show I was taking directly to him and not just myself. "I suppose it is possible, anything is possible I suppose, but the fact that you feel like you've been here before is only part of the problem, am I right?" I nodded again, "All my life, strange unexplained events have happened, each time it has to deal with me, either because I was there or I had just been there. Each time that event got out my parents would move to another city, start over, new schools, friends, house etc... After a while I gave up trying to start over, I refused to make any new friends, or show that I cared at all. Then I met Kyle . . ." I trailed off and glanced over at Yoko. The look on his face showed he was listening. //Man, he really looks like Kurama when he does that. \\ "So what about Kyle? Why was he different, what did he do?" Yoko asked softly, unsure how I would react.
"Kyle was the nicest person I ever met. We had just moved to Hiroshi or something. On my first day of school, which started out bad, he ran into the class late and as his 'punishment' he had to show me around. At first he seemed like a jerk simply because I refused to let anyone get close, but eventually his joking attitude got to me. Time passed pretty fast and we became closer than anything I had ever experienced. He inspired me to draw, encouraging me even though I thought I couldn't, he even helped me get some friends together and start a band. We were the Ice Blue Dragons; the name was his idea. Then one night we went to a friend's concert and . . ." I trailed off, unwilling to accept it even though it had been about a year. Silent tears cascaded down my cheeks and Yoko pulled me into a one armed hug. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want too." I nodded closing my eyes. //Why do I trust him so much? Is it because he reminds me of Kurama? Kurama who said he was always open to talk to? \\
A/N: ^-^ whew, nother chappie done, hope y'all like it, if you do, review tell me whatcha like, if ya don't, review tell me whatcha don't like.
