Hi guys, my Internet wasn't up for a while so I've just been writing
chapters and am going to load them all up at once or one after another over
a period of days if I can. So, how did you all like my last chapter? I
thought it was pretty cool, but then again I know what is going to happen.
I won't keep you waiting any longer so let's get on with the story!
Chapter 6
Loving Mother,
Ruthless Killer!!
Shizuru took one look at the beast and opened her mouth to scream for help, yet she was frozen with fear and no sound came forth from her open mouth. The monster was so surprised by this sudden movement from its victim that it flipped off of the bed and fell head over heels onto the stone floor. Shizuru reached frantically over to her night stand and grabbed the heavy book she had been reading from Sora's library the night before and chucked it at the animal. The book struck it right between the eyes and laid it out flat on the floor! The noise woke the rest of the girls, who stared dumbfounded at the scene before them. This gave the beasts enough time to react to the situation. The lead monster lunged at the girls, delivering blows to their pressure points; this didn't harm them, but it did knock them out quite efficiently. Once they had finished the job, they lay each person back in her bed so that you couldn't tell anything had happened. Then they heard noises down the hall, it was the boys! Knowing that their chances for a meal tonight were gone, they fled by way of the closest exit, the window! Plunging down from the eleventh story of the mansion they effortlessly landed in the trees and leapt away, not setting a foot in the dawn's early light!
A few seconds later Sora opened the door to the girls' room as the guys waited behind her (she refused to let them in first for fear one of the girls should be undressed or something). Nothing seemed wrong, they were all sleeping peacefully and undisturbed. However, in their hasty retreat the monsters had made several mistakes, ones that if they had, had the time to correct they would've. For these animals were smart and would never leave so many hints to their intrusion behind!
Hiei: Why is the window open, ugh the floor is soaked from the rain getting in!
Kurama: Why is that book on the floor?
Sora: (her voice was a deadly whisper) Who opened my bedroom door?
Kuwabara: Hey let's wake them up and find out what the heck is going on around here!!
He went around poking and shaking each person, his sister he pushed onto the floor because he thought it would be funny. She got up and began to realize where she was, first she decked her brother over the head and then gingerly touched her own. There was a sizable lump from where the monster had struck her, but no other visible damage.
Shizuru: Oh my-gosh, you wouldn't believe what happened to me last night! There was this thing and it woke me up, and, and.
Yusuke: Whoa now, calm down Shizuru, it's not like you to do stuff like this, I mean I'm sure it was just a bad dream.
Yukina: No, I saw it too, there were lots of them, and they were after us!
Sora: (picking up the book and looking at the window) Hold on, maybe they've got something here.
She walked to the window ledge and looked out, a few moments later she pulled her head back through the window. Sora wrung out her hair as she told them what she saw.
Sora: Something was definitely here last night, (she looked worried, almost like she was afraid to say what she thought had been there that night for fear she would be right) that window wasn't open when they went to bed last night and there're broken branches and bruised leaves all over those trees. I want everyone to pair up and stay together incase there should still be anything lurking about, and I don't want any of you to leave your partner for a second unless you need to use the bathroom or go to bed!
They quickly paired up, but not everyone was happy with the partner they were stuck with. The pairs were: Kenshin and Kaoru; Sano and Botan; Yahiko, Yukina, and Keela; Yusuke and Keiko; Hiei and Kuwabara; Kurama and Shizuru; and Sora was alone.
Yahiko: Hey! How come you get to be by yourself?
Sora: (pulling a small hair clip, shaped like a flower, from her blonde hair she hurled it at Yahiko and blades replaced the petals as the clip thudded into the wall, slicing some of Yahiko's hair off) I think I can take care of myself, but you and Yukina must keep Keela with you because you both are so young.
Yahiko: What!?! Why I oughta.
Sora: (pulling another clip from her hair) I wonder if this clip will look pretty on you Yahiko? Your black hair and this gold clip, it just needs a bit of red to seal the deal, if you know what I mean. Plus it's my house, my rules! (Yahiko shut up)
Hiei: Great, and I get to baby sit this buffoon. (he pointed to Kuwabara)
Kuwabara: (just now looking up from creating ripples in the water beneath the window) Hey, are you guys talking about me?
Hiei: Kuwabara we could talk about you to your face and you still wouldn't notice.
Kuwabara: (not paying attention to what Hiei had said, and giving an answer he thought would sound smart) Oh yeah, you know me, just trying to do my part.
Hiei: I'm sure you are.
Everyone went about their daily routine, but there was now an air of urgency and caution about the house. Everywhere they went they were careful. It was Sano who found the back door.
Sano: Hey everybody come look at this!
They gathered and surveyed the damage, and figured out a way to fix it. Since they seemed to have run out of things to do Sora figured that it was time to try something new.
Sora: Do any of you no how to ride a horse?
Yukina: A what? (she's a demon and doesn't get out much ok, so she doesn't know what a horse is)
Sora: Ok we had better take this slowly, everybody come with me we're going to have a bit of fun!
Sora had changed out of her nightgown and was now wearing one of those shirts that ties together just above your stomach and that's all the lower it goes. Her entire midriff was exposed and her sleeves came to her elbows. She was also wearing shorts and her hair was tied up in a bun. It was when she turned to walk towards the door around the corner that they saw it! It was a huge cobra tattoo! This was no ordinary tattoo though, it was almost lifelike, both frightening and beautiful at the same time. The cobra was pure white with gold, hypnotic eyes and it cavernous mouth hung open baring its lethal fangs. Like twin sabers they were poised at the ready, deadly venom dripping down from them and onto its coils below, you could almost here the snake hiss! The interesting thing was that the snake's coils were rapped about four Japanese symbols, which stood for; Loving mother, ruthless killer.
Kurama: I do not understand.why would you Sora, someone so gentle and kind, bare such a devilish name?
Sora: Oh, you don't know the half of it, Kenshin are you not also known as the man- slayer?
Kenshin: There have been days when others have referred to me that way.
Sora: Well, you can only become a man- slayer again if you draw a true sword or kill someone am I not right? (Kenshin nodded) I am also a renowned fighter, and am known in the under world as.Soranna, the immortal goddess who rides at the heads of armies of demonic creatures, and leaves nothing but black shadows in my wake!
The room was quiet, they stared in awe, and then Yusuke spoke up.
Yusuke: Hahahahahaha, heeheehee, oh that's a good one! Immortal goddess? Wow, now there's some creative speech!
Sora: We shall see who is laughing if I'm ever in a bad mood. Now come on, I want to teach you how to ride horses.
Keiko: How are you going to do that?
Sora: I have a huge barn adjoining my house with all kinds of horses in it, and I want to teach you all to ride.
They reached the stables and walked in, they could hear several horses neighing and whinnying in greeting as they entered the barn.
Sora: Come here guys, I've got some new friends for you to meet! She called to the horses.
As she walked around the hundreds of stalls she unlocked a few and many horses trotted into the light. The onlookers were amazed by what they saw. These horses ranged from small to large and were in the widest array of colors they'd ever seen!
Sora: Now I want you all to choose a horse to ride, but be careful which one you pick because you'll have to stick with it in order to get the hang of the way that certain horse rides.
They picked their mounts and stood by them for Sora to look over. Yahiko and Yukina both had horses about 6feet tall, Yahiko's was cream colored and Yukina's was gray. Botan's was brown with white streaks and stood 7feet tall. Sano and Kaoru had 8foot tall horses that were black with gray mains and tails. Hiei had a 6foot5 horse that was white with brown and black splotches along with Keiko, but hers only had brown splotches. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Shizuru had 8foot2 horses with butterscotch coats and white hooves. Kurama had a pure black horse, roughly 9feet tall. Kenshin had a black horse with golden streaks in its main and tail, and Sora had a red horse with black and gold mottled main, tail and hooves. They spent a few hours learning about the animals and playing with them. The rest of the day was uneventful, and they lounged about that evening, enjoying the comforts of Sora's home.
Sano sat on the couch in front of the fireplace with Botan and watched the hypnotic flames dance. For some reason he unintentionally put his arm around her, the fire just seemed to create that kind of romantic mood. The startled Botan whipped out her oar and clobbered Sano over the head. He fell over onto the floor and muttered.
Sano: Oh my acing head.
Botan: Oh Sano I'm so sorry! You startled me! Hear let me help you.
Sano: Someone should revoke your oar license, that thing really hurts you know!
This event created general laughter and they were happy before going to bed. Sora made sure everything was locked, checked the poultice on Sano's head, and carried a candle to her room and set it on her nightstand. Her door was locked and she looked at herself in the mirror. Taking a silver handled brush from a drawer she ran it through her blonde locks. Her crystal clear blue eyes sparkled in the candlelight. There was a hissing noise coming from her bed. Sora walked over to her canopy bed; the sheets were made of blue silk trimmed with gold, scarlet, and cream. The translucent sheet that draped across the four posts over her bed hung low and twined down the beautiful hand carved oak posts. Lying on the bed sprawled out over the pillows and sheets an exotic, albino cobra hissed with pleasure as its master lay next to it on the bed. This serpent measured somewhere around 6feet, quite large even for a King cobra! Its ruby eyes glistened in the dim light. Sora picked up the serpent and wrapped it about her waist and cradled its head and some of its front half in her arms.
Sora: Are you going to stay with me while Keela sleeps in Yahiko's room Whiplash? The great serpent nodded slowly. It twined about Sora, slithering around her neck and flicking her throat and chin with its tongue.
Whiplash: Hiiiiiiisssssssssssss shaaaaaaaahhh, casssssooliiiisssss? (Who are these strange people in your house?)
Sora: They are.friends.
Whiplash: Sssssssome more of your friendsssss came calling lassssst night, assss I'm sure you know.
Sora: Yes, I know, but they will hunt these new strangers in my house until I get the chance to tell them that they are friends.
Whiplash: You will find a way to do it, if I know my Sssssora, then you ssssssshall find a way.
Sora: (chuckling) Thank-you, goodnight!
They all slept soundly that night and the rain continued to pitter, patter along the roof. It was at the stroke of midnight, the darkest hour that things began to go awry. They figured that anything trying to break in would wait a few days before trying it again, but these monsters were smart, they came back that night! Climbing the colossus trees they leapt onto the roof. There targeted points of entry were.the chimneys!
Monster #5: Heeheehee, chacka samall moosana, creakaw! (Santa's coming early this year!)
