Houki no Majo!
Chapter 5
------------------
Kitty sighed and looked back over the city. She was sitting atop Keiko's ramen shop, watching the sun set.
Three weeks had passed, and on the morrow, they would be leaving for the Athena Coven meeting.
She felt that Kuwabara and Yusuke were sufficiently prepared, but she still had her doubts. What if they saw through the disguises? Sure, neither really looked like girls, but she was going to cast a glamour spell on them to keep them from sticking out too much.
But what if they sensed the magic that coated the two boys like a thick fog?
Ro had assured her that they would not, because he had his own ability to mask a witch's magic…
Ro…he had been oddly distant lately, and it worried her. He would disappear for hours at a time, and return very silent and cold.
She sighed, and let her feet dangle over the edge of the building.
And what of the others? She had grown much, much closer to them, more than she had ever dreamed of doing.
Yusuke had become like an older brother, and Kuwabara like a close friend. She had never thought it possible for her to befriend someone so close to Reikai, but it had happened.
And Kurama…well, he taught her more of the Japanese language, and she taught him more about the English one. In fact, they'd sometimes have conversations entirely in English, which none of the others could understand. She thought it was fun to talk to someone in her native tongue, about anything that she pleased.
She figured that he liked her, and she liked him as well. Cute, kind, and not to mention he was the smartest guy she had ever met.
And Hiei…well, she liked him as well. The problem was, he pretty much ignored her.
They never talked much, but she loved to watch him practice with his katana. She had never seen someone move so quickly, and it fascinated her. She had always wanted to be born into a Slayer family, just to have the chance to wield a sword like he did.
"Oi, Kitty-chan!"
She looked down from her perch on the roof, and saw Keiko waving at her.
"Kitty-chan, we should go to bed now! It's getting late!"
"Be down in a second!" She called back.
She stood, and took a deep breath to rid herself of thoughts of the spiky-haired youkai, and then summoned her broom, using it to fly down to her friend.
Keiko smiled. "Come on. I bought you some really cute pajamas!"
------------------
Kitty took a long, deep breath, and tried to fix imaginary wrinkles on her black mini-skirt. She also wore a long-sleeved black shirt, and the sleeves flared out at the elbows. She also wore a pair of knee-high black boots with laces running all the way up them.
That was the color of her coven - black. Every family had a different color, and since her family were the leaders of her coven, their color was black.
Since she was ready, she decided to check on the boys, who were changing in Keiko's room.
She stepped outside, and forced a smile to satisfy the others.
Hiei didn't seem to care, and Kurama returned the gesture.
"Are they done yet?" She asked.
"They should be. Are you?" Kurama asked.
She sighed, and ran a hand through her auburn locks. "As ready as anyone could be when they're about to fight their own mother, who just happens to be the strongest witch ever born."
"Oh…"
"If you're truly her daughter. Then you should be just as powerful as she is." Hiei said.
Now Kitty really smiled. Praise from the fire demon always meant that that was what he actually felt - he would never lie to her about how he felt, unlike Kurama. "Thanks, Hiei."
The door to Keiko's room opened, and Kuwabara and Yusuke came out, dressed in baggy pink dresses.
Kitty stared, and wondered how either of them could stand to be out like that.
The things they do to save the world… She thought.
Yusuke had a bright blush, obviously embarrassed to be in Keiko's house, wearing one of her mother's dresses. Kuwabara's had been hand-made by Kitty, because they couldn't find one that would fit him.
Kitty was the first to snap out of the daze.
"Well, that's good, but not quite passable for a woman." She said. She closed her eyes, and summoned up magic from deep within her soul. She molded it around the two boys in her mind, and then opened her eyes once more.
"What did you just do? I feel all…tingly." Kuwabara said.
"I cast a glamour spell. It'll make you look like girls." She said.
Hiei raised an eyebrow. "They still look like ugly brutes."
"That's because you know them well. Friends, family, and other people who may know you well will not see the change, but strangers will. To them, you look like two teenage girls. The problem will come if Ro can't hide the thick layer of magic I put on you, because then the guards at the Coven will see through the disguises and kill you before you can blink." She explained.
"Oh…that's a relief." Kuwabara said. "I trust the little kitty. I like kitties."
Kitty raised an eyebrow, then shook her head. "Whatever."
Keiko came up the stairs then, and stopped dead in her tracks. She stared at Yusuke, and dropped the bag of groceries that she had been holding.
"Yu-Yusuke?!" She exclaimed.
"It's not what it looks like!!" He exclaimed back.
"It's for a mission!" Kuwabara whined.
"Um, right…" She said, walking past them and back into her room.
Yusuke sighed, and groaned. "Great, now she thinks I'm some kind of weirdo!!"
"You were already a weirdo." Kitty said.
"Shut up." He grumbled.
