Chapter 7 - Rest and Relaxation, or not?

Jess :: Sorry for the long wait but we had...uh...technical difficulties. looks at Lea hog-tied and gagged in the corner

Lea :: mumbled yells

Rebecca :: I would've tried to save her but..looks at Esprit you don't want to get on a muses bad side.

Esprit :: looking through Lea's pockets Hey! Look what I found! holds up chocolate

Lea :: muffled yells that we guess mean, 'That's my chocolate'

Tela laid against the window. It was midnight and she never slept during these times. So she stared out the window at the stars twinkling in the dark sky. She checked the clock every now and then and knew that she would be cranky tomorrow. Inuc and Lana were fast asleep, sort of. They were half asleep and had just fallen asleep about 5 minutes ago.

All three of them were upset by the events that had occured ever since they'd gotten the mission to come here and kill that team. Tela had a book in her hand and a pen. She wrote, "Dear Journal, Nothing good has happened since we got here. No one likes me except Lana and Inuc. I think Micheal has a crush on Lana as she has on him. Inuc and Sakaki have something going and I think Doujima is jealous. Oh well, I don't have a guy yet. Though, tall dark and scary isn't to bad looking. But I think he has something going with that Robin girl. I can't begin to imagine what Lana and Inuc are going through. Inuc has to go up against her ex-boyfriend and Lana has to go up against her brother. If he's still alive that is." She sighed and looked up and slightly over so that she can see the stars slightly. "Well, I think that I'd best stop writing, so that I am ready for if they attack."

She closed the book and laid it under the pillow in the window seat. She got up and went into the bathroom. She turned on the water for a hot bubble bath. When the tub was half filled she poured the remaining milk bath into the water and let it mix in. She put three finger in the water and moved them around slowly helping it to mix. She thought about how she would feel if someone she felt deeply for suddenly was her enemy.

After she took a bath she brushed her teeth and blow-dried her hair. Then she brushed her hair thoroughly and sat down in a chair near the bookcase and read. She read books until morning when she became Demon again. She tried not to be grumpy.

Inuc and Lana were now awake and getting ready. "Keep your temperature in check today Tela." Lana said. "Whatever." said Tela, grumpy though her efforts were good. They headed off for work on their motorcycles and got in first...well, after Michael. By the time the others arrived Lana and Michael were having a contest to see who could type faster. They had the two bugged computers and they had to debug it by the end of the day.

When Amon came in Tela got one glimpse and all of a sudden was mad. She was sleep deprived and was a loose canon. "Hey, you! Tall dark and scary! How come you never let me come along on the witch hunts!?" "What's your problem, Tela?" said Inuc. Tela made a growling sound and dragged Amon into the other room. As soon as the door was shut the yelling ensued. Amon was surprised that she was yelling and when the fight had first started he just yelled to be heard. Then he got pissed at Tela for not listening to his "experienced" knowledge and yelled at her for it. This would go on for a while.

"Didn't we tell her to mind her temper?" Asked Inuc. "What?" Said Sakaki, all of them were there now. "She didn't get enough sleep last night and she gets angered quickly when she's sleep deprived." Lana explained. "Oh" Sakaki said shortly. Inuc took out the September Issue of Shonen Jump and read. No one even noticed that she had taken it out and if they did, made no sign of it. Robin was Reading a book titled, The Dog with Golden Eyes and Dojima was flipping through a fashion magazine. Karasuma was reviewing the facts from the weird events.

About 5 minutes later, besides the muffled yelling of Tela and Amon you hear, "The parabola marked B represents the greatest effective distance the enemy shinobi, A, could throw a shuriken star from a 23.3-foot-tall tree. Calculate the specific features of the scenario and deduce the range of the shuriken's effectiveness, Assuming a consistent speed for Shinobi A's assault upon any enemy Shinobi operating within the arc that the flight of the shuriken describes. Show your work." Everyone in the room looked to a chair near the back of the room where Inuc was reading aloud a part of the Naruto section. She looked up as everyone turned to look and quickly hid what book she was reading. Lana had a suspicious look on her face and walked over to Inuc who was hiding the Shonen Jump as best as she can.

"Fleur, what's that?" she pointed to the corner of the book which was sticking out from behind her. "Nothing" she replied but then Lana grabbed it and held it up with a triumphant look on her face which quickly turned to confusion. "Shonen Jump?" Sakaki jumped at it "Let me read it!" Lana moved the book just before Sakaki got it and threw it back at Inuc, "Here" Inuc was surprised cause Lana would have usually yelled like a maniac at her for keeping her from reading it. Sakaki was a lump of...well, Sakaki, on the floor.

No one bothered to pick him up as it was his fault for leaping into the air to get the book and landing almost face first into the floor. A minute later Sakaki started getting up, rubbing his head in the process. He was at level with the arm of the chair when something was in his face. "huh?" He looked up at what was holding the thing, Inuc was holding the Shonen Jump out to Sakaki. "Huh?" "Well, do you want to read it or don't you?" "Oh...Yeah!" he went to grab it, then slowed down and just plain took it from her. He immediately turned around, laying against the side of the chair and read. Soon after he made his way to another chair because Karasuma mentioned that the floor was dirty.

There was a loud crashing sound and everyone turned to face the room where Tela and Amon were arguing. They had started throwing stuff at each other! After about a second though, everyone dismissed it except Dojima, who kept looking as though fascinated. She mumbled under her breathe, "ooo, wait till the chief finds out about this" she snickered but everyone ignored her. Robin laid down the book she had been reading since she had finished it, and being bored, picked up another book, The gift of Magic. Inuc had just about fallen asleep when Sakaki walked up to the chair she was in, ""Hey, Fleur, wanna go get something to eat?" He said, his head slightly down. 'oooo you just know he's blushing!' Lana's voice said to Inuc telepathically. "Sure Sakaki" she stood up.

Dojima looked surprised and infruiated by what was going on here. Sakaki was asking someone besides her to go someplace? She said yes? They were going out to eat? They were acting as if they were going out or something! Dojima shook her head, No way girl, your over reacting. He would never go for a girl like her! He's mine and that's all there is to it. She lifted up the magazine and tried to consentrate on it but as soon as the elevator doors closed it was down and she was getting her coat.

"Where are you going?" Karasuma asked. "Out" She said shortly. When Dojima had reached the 1st floor she saw Sakaki driving off on his motorcycle with Inuc on the back. She ran to her car and followed.

Dojima followed them to a McDonalds a few blocks away. Dojima thought that she could've walked but then she rethought and decided that she wouldn't have made it that far. She was in the line just behind them.

Inuc ordered a chiken Sandwich and Sakaki got a Big Mac. When Dojima pulled up to the ordering speaker, she was looking at Sakaki's Motorcycle, this is what happened. "Hello, welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order?" "Shut up lady! I'm on a mission and no one is gonna stop me from getting my Sakaki away from that girl!" The lady kinda squeaked at that and Dojima made a growl-like sound and continued to follow them. (Jess is barely paying attention as she writes this at 12:00 am and watches Anime Unleashed also) They went to the park and ate McDonalds by a nice little fountain of Inuc's choice.

"You like it here don't you?" Sakaki asked. "Yeah, it's nice" She replied, finishing her chicken sandwhich and then looking at the fountain. Sakaki looked at her in the middle of taking a bite. She looks so sad...he thought. "Hey Fleur?" "Ya?" "Is everything alright?" "Yes, why do you ask?" "Well, you just look so sad." "Oh. It's nothing really." She looked at the fountain again and Sakaki finished his meal.

"Alright, the Dojima show has been following these two since they left the office. They went to McDonalds and ordered some really...delicious...tasty looking food." Dojima shook her head. "Gotta concintrate! Anyways, they are now sitting on a bench in the park. The fountain is pretty and the sound of the water is soothing. Yawn It's kinda...making me yawn sleepy." Dojima, who was bent over and looking through a bush now slid down to her knees. Then she fell forward into the bush and laid there, asleep.

When Sakaki had finished he said, "Hey we'd best get going. I bet your friends are looking for you" "No, I don't think they are, but we should get back and see if the STN-J is still standing." she joked. "Right, let's go" Inuc held up 1 finger, "One thing" she picked up a small pebble and threw it behind her. It went into the bush and hit Dojima on the back of the neck. "Ow! Hey! Who hit me! Who did is in big trouble!"

Inuc smiled, "Ok, now we can go" Sakaki stared at Dojima for a sec and then went to his motorcycle. Dojima noticed them leaving and headed off, doing her imaginary shows commentary the entire time. Sakaki and Inuc were off as Dojima headed for her car. "Hey! Fleur! How long has Dojima been following us!?" Sakaki asked. "Since we left! I thought I'd just let her have some fun! I think she's jealous of me!" "Jealous!? Why would she be jealous!?" "Oh Nevermind! Your a guy, you don't know what girl's think about!" They were screaming because they were flying down the road on a motorcycle.

They were almost back to the STN-J when all of a sudden there was a women in front of them. The lady waved her hand from on side of her body to the other side in one sweeping motion and, as she did this, the ground came up in front of her and flung towards them. They screamed and the motorcycle hit the rubble. It flipped and sent them flying.

They woman spoke as if she was but a shadow. In a soft voice she said, "Inuyasha-chan. You will never escape. All of you will die. You betrayed us, you all betrayed us!" she turned around and as she seemed to disappear she said, "This was a warning. He wants to kill you himself." Sakaki had a confused look on his face the he fainted. Inuc got up and sort of stumble/crawl/walked over to Sakaki. She took his comunicator and put it on herself.

'BEEP! BEEP!' Karasuma's communicator went off. It was barely audioable above the crashing, which stopped just before she picked it up because they had run out of things to throw. "Hello? What!? What do you mean you were attacked!?" The yelling stopped too when Karasuma yelled and they both stuck their heads out the door to listen. "A woman attacked you? Sakaki's out cold? I'll be there in a minute." Karasuma grabbed her coat and headed for the elevator. "What happened?" Tela asked. "Sakaki and Fleur were attacked by someone on their way back here. I'll handle it, Continue" She left and Amon and Tela closed the door and continued to fight. Lana and Michael, who had stopped de-bugging the computers, started de-bugging computers again. Talking as they went.

"So, why are you stuck here?" "I was caught trying to hack the system and instead of killing me they gave me a job here. I can't leave, ever, but it's got it's perks. I don't have to pay rent or anything and I can still use the internet to comunicate with people besides the STN-J" "Well, I hope that one day you are allowed out of here." "Thanks, and sorry in advanced for beating you at de-bugging computers." "Oh yea? You think your that good? We'll see about that!" They're typing got faster. Robin just looked back down at her book, a new one titled The Disappearing Bike Shop, and continued reading.

Doujima's car had been near the attack and she'd swerved into a ditch. She was now out of her car cursing whatever that was and saying that someone, not her of course, would have to pay for the damage. "This is a very expensive car!" Karasuma arrived soon and found Doujima screaming about damage, Sakaki unconscious, and Inuc was getting his motorcycle. She got out of her car, "Is everyone alright?" "Yea, we're..." "No I'm not alright!" said Doujima coming over to them, "Someone recked my car and they're gonna have to pay for it!" She glared at Inuc. "What?" "How about you pay for the damage." "Why me?" "Because you were with Sakaki when I was attacked and that made me swerve. Meaning that..." Karasuma interupted, "It means that You, Yurika Doujima, crashed Your car so You need to pay for it. Unless it's insured that is." She had a smirk on as if she knew the answer to this statement. Doujima squirmed. "I...I'm not insured." "And why not Doujima, you know that this job has many risks so you need insurance." "But, I never thought that a witch would attack a car that expensive." "Well, that teaches you doesn't it" Said Inuc. Doujima just glared and walked to Karasuma's car. They put Sakaki in the back seat with Inuc.

End chapter! Well school starts soon so I won't be able to update that fast. Keep the reviews coming please! I don't have much time tonight to write so I'm not letting my friends talk. Someone's coming, gotta go bye!
