Fox's Name part 6
I walked down the hall towards Kevic's room. I started mumbling to myself. "Cakes. Everyone likes cakes. Sugar. That is good too. I don't see why I don't get sugar. They said something about me getting too hyper." Since I was so deep in my serious thoughts, I wasn't really paying attention to where I was walking. The next thing I knew was that I had walked into someone! "Oops sorry." Then I looked at who it was. "Oh Kevic! Yo!"\
"Hey Fox." He looked at me and whistled. "Boy, have you changed. Where'd you get the tail and ears from?" He paused. "Why aren't you in your room? Aren't you normally locked up on the day Lord Koenma comes?"
"I was, but then I got sick. When I woke up, I was in the infirmary. They happened to be there and we talked. Now I get to leave! Aren't you happy?" I squealed.
"Who's 'they'? What do you mean by you're leaving?" He said unhappily.
"They are, Koenma, Kurama, and Hiei. Hiei has hair like a skunk." I said laughing, but stopped when I saw his face. "You don't want me to leave, do you?"
"No."
"Why? You can leave when ever you want." When I said that, his eyes burned with a hidden flame.
"Really?" He said cruelly. "So you think that you can just walk out on me! All the times we spent together? You don't care do you?" Then he slapped me. He ran away while I stood there shocked.
"I do care, Kevic. I really do." I whispered. Then I bust into tears and collapsed on the floor. "Why? I thought you'd be happy for me." I cried until someone stopped and put a caring hand on my shoulder.
"Fox? What's wrong?" It was Kurama.
"Nothing. I will miss this place though." I didn't want Kurama to know what had happened. It broke my heart to know that Kevic was mad at me. I never thought Kevic would ever consider hurting me. I was crushed. My best friend had injured me. "How could you?" I whispered barely audible.
"What? What did I do?" Kurama asked, not understanding.
"Not you, Kevic. He doesn't want me to leave." I left it at that. I think he suspected that there was more, but didn't question it, seeing my tears. "Can we go?" I asked. Kurama nodded. I gave him a quick hug and stood up. I gave him a small grin. "Lead the way."
He gave a small smile back. He was a really caring guy. "Come on Fox." We walked to the entrance. Outside Hiei and Koenma were waiting. "She is ready to go." Kurama said. "Who will bring her?"
Normally I would have complained about how I wasn't a 'wall', but was still too upset. I've always reacted badly to it before. I would get my revenge later.
"I think you should, Kurama." Koenma said. "She seems most comfortable with you." Hiei responded with an expressionless face, which in fact wasn't really a reaction at all.
"How are we traveling?" I asked. It had just occurred to me that I had no idea how we were going to be transported or where to.
"Teleporting." Hiei said. So he can speak after all. I looked at him. They might be able to teleport, but I most certainly can't.
"Hold Kurama's hand. That's all you have to do." Koenma said.
"So no weird chants or dances?" I asked trying to brighten up. Kurama, obviously remembered the magic words of mine, and the funky chicken dance, and grinned. I grinned too.
"Am I missing something?" Koenma asked looking at both of us.
"Inside joke." I replied. "Are we leaving, or are we not?" I said and took Kurama's hand. "I'm ready to go."
"Good." Someone said the second before everything went gray around me. I saw Kurama still holding my hand and then the grayness disappeared. An office like room had replaced it. There was a desk and a big chair with a toddler sitting in it. At first I didn't realize who it was but then something told me that it was Koenma. I think the gray stuff did it.
"What happened to you Koenma? You've turned into a baby! Call the hospital! I knew that gray stuff does this to people. Has anyone else turned into a baby?" Looking around the room, I saw that Hiei and Kurama was fine. I was practically hysterical.
"Fox, I AM a baby. I use a teenage form when going around in public. No one is impressed with a baby, even if I am 700 years old. It makes me wonder. As I AM the all mighty and powerful Prince Koenma..."
"You're really a baby? You looked a lot better as a teenager." An idea snapped into my head. "I see! You use your good twin out in public, but your evil twin stays here. So I must be talking to the evil twin!" I smiled happily. I did notice that everyone had sweat dropped around me. "What? It's true, right?"
"No!" Koenma shouted, clearly irritated.
"Drop it Koenma." Hiei said. "She will only think up more stupid ideas."
"They are not stupid! Do you want to take this outside? Huh? Huh?" I said indignantly and in Hiei's face. "Bring it on!"
"You are not worth my time." How could he have said that and to my face! I felt heat entering myself and for a second time, Hiei's robe caught fire. I started to laugh evilly. "Kukukukukuku! Face the wrath of my fire!" Then I stopped. "Did I know I could do that? Oh yeah. I did it when I first me them." I decided to see if I could get all of Hiei to burn up. I started to focus on an image of Hiei burning up. It was actually pretty disgusting, so I stopped. His flesh was all smokey and gross in the image… Kurama put his hand on my shoulder.
"You aren't trained enough to even attempt to set Hiei on fire. I admit though, that your attempt was interesting." We looked over at Hiei. He had a burn on his forehead. It actually spelt out words, right over his closed third eye (the weirdo's got a third eye…sorta sketchy…). I read it out loud. "L..O..S..E..R" I laughed, Kurama chuckled, and Koenma fell to the floor laughing. Hiei looked ready to kill.
"I wonder if that could be made permanent…" Kurama said and turned to me while Hiei glared. "He will not be happy teaching you."
"WHAT?" Hiei and I shouted in unison.
"He is a fire demon and so are you. He is the only one that is close enough to teach you the necessary skills. Also, he is under my orders." Koenma said. "It is quite obvious."
I stared. Then I looked at Kurama. "Kind Kurama, you wouldn't let a poor girl be tortured by a skunk head. You can be my teacher instead!" I don't know what was so funny about it, but the others started laughing. Well, except for Hiei. Skunk head just snorted.
"I am also going to help you train. You are also part fox, as am I." Kurama said.
"I will not be left at the mercy of the one who stole the FLUFFY SUGAR BAR! A man who has hair like a SKUNK will not teach me! I also don't feel like dying any time soon. Not to mention, I still don't know WHY I need to be taught, and for that matter, what am I being taught?" The last part was said calmly.
"You have already realized that you have a power, yes?" Koenma asked. I nodded. "You have no real control over it. Without control, bad things will happen. Hiei and Kurama will teach you how to control your energy. Got that?" I nodded again.
"Roger that!" I smiled. "That wasn't so hard was it?" They ignored me again.
"I believe it is time for you to see your room, Fox." Koenma said. Hiei spoke.
"I don't want to teach her either."
"It is an order, Hiei. You are dismissed, I am missing my weekly nap."
"You take naps?" I asked. "Does everyone around here have to do that too? Because you're the prince?"
"No, but that is a good idea." Koenma said evilly. At that moment the blue ogre came in.
"It is time for your nap Koenma sir. And remember that you have to make up the papers that you missed signing."
"No." Koenma groaned and slumped to the desk. Kurama turned to me.
"Come on. I'll show you your room. It is best that we leave."
"Kurama is the only one here who speaks any sense." Hiei said.
"Thank you." I said to Hiei and grinned. "I was only doing my duty."
