Sorry for the change between italics for thoughts but I get confused on which was which since I use so many between stories.
So here's what the chart should look like (although I mix these up sometimes on accident):
'meow' –telepathy
'meow' –plant speech
'meow' –thoughts
meow -wolves speaking
Oh yeah, I also attempted to make a blueprint of what the mansion looks like but it's harder than it looks! I've found that the rooms aren't positioned correctly on the blueprint and that if I attempted to put all the rooms where there supposed to be (how I see them in my mind), there'd be two kitchens and about twenty hallways… -_-^
PLEASE REVIEW!!!
UnBREAKable
Chapter 14
'That was one of the stranger dreams I've had in a while…' Kat thought as she woke up. 'Ha! Like Kenshin's really back…' She yawned and sat up. Then she spotted a red head sleeping soundly next to her. She blinked still groggy and poked the mass of sleeping bag next to her. 'Maybe it wasn't a dream. But that means Tanya and Kage are…dead.'
"Crap," Kat said allowed.
"What?" two sleepy voices answered her.
Vash's aqua marine eyes cracked open and were met with a pair of amber ones. Vash smiled thinking it was Kat and the eyes took on a look of confusion, disgust then finally laughter. Then Vash realized that the eyes didn't belong to Kat. He bolted into an upright position and Kat opened her mouth to warn him but it was too late.
Vash slammed his head on the marble shelf above him and cracked it slightly. "Ow…" he whispered.
Kat scooted over and helped Vash sit up. Kat shoved Kenshin over a little more to make room and ended up making him fall off the edge of the bed. He let out a small 'oro?!' as he hit the floor face first.
"Sorry Kenshin!" Kat said as she unzipped his sleeping bag so he could move.
He let out a small irritated sound when he felt the cold rush into his bag. The cold feeling stopped as soon as Kat let go of the bag. He sat up and to his irritation, passed directly through the bag.
"Are you ok Vash?" Kat asked as she lightly toughed the spot where he had head. Her golden eyes were full of concern.
'Well, I at least know who she gets the golden eyes from…' "Ow…" he replied.
'This sucks. I can't touch anything unless I'm touching Kat.' Kenshin sighed and stood up.
"Going somewhere Kenshin?" Kat asked as she saw him head for the door.
"Not really. I'm just going to see how thick the walls are," his voice dimmed as he passed through the door.
Kat sighed, "We need to do something about that…" She paused to look back at Vash.
He was lying next to her with his eyes closed and beads of sweat had formed on his forehead.
"Vash… What's wrong?" Kat asked him.
"Hurts…" he said just barely above a whisper.
"What hurts? Your head?"
Vash nodded slightly.
"Is it another energy spike? Like when you blew out the garage?"
He didn't reply and Kat's concern began to grow. Then she noticed something else, "Oh god! Vash!? Your hair…"
'…It's turning silver…' Kat rummaged through his hair with her finger tips to see that each and every strand was starting to turn silver from the roots up. Kat's dread began to grow as she was faced with another new possibility: loosing Vash. 'If this is a plant related disease then why don't I have it? Wait…'
"Sakura!" Kat bolted from her sleeping bag and took off down the stairs, through the kitchen and down the hallway to her daughter's room.
(A/N: They were in the attic.)
The door to the room flew open with a bang to reveal Sakura lying in her bed, sweating and panting.
Kat ran over to feel her forehead and pulled her hand back in shock when she felt the heat scorch her hand.
"Rei!" Kat called for her guardian.
The wolf materialized next to Kat, read her mind, and quickly pulled Sakura off the bed to the bathroom. Kat followed closely behind.
The tub filled itself with ice cold water and the massive wolf heaved the black haired girl into the tub. Kat watched in horror as Sakura began to twitch violently.
"She's having a seizure!?"
She's going into shock. It's the cold water that does it. There's no way that I could have cooled her down fast enough without Sakura suffering even more.
"Can't you stop it?!"
My powers are limited. It took almost everything I had to get Knives to Gunsmoke. Don't we have a first aid kit in the house?
"Yeah, but it doesn't have any sedatives in it!" Kat grunted as she attempted to lift Sakura out of the steaming tub. "Don't just stand there!"
Kat flashed an irritated and impatient glance at Rei but almost dropped her daughter when she spotted the expression on the wolf's face.
Rei's icy blue eyes were round with shock and all the muscles in her immense head were contracted with terror.
Kat turned to look at her friend was staring at.
No don't-!
A piercing scream echoed through the halls of the mansion. The windows rattled in their sills and Kuroneko darted for cover.
The scream ended with a muffled chocking sob.
Rei pulled gently at Kat's clothing to signal it was time to leave. Blood trickled across the once ivory tiles and crimson trails flowed from Sakura's mouth. The body ceased twitching and went completely limp.
Kat began to hyper ventilate, sucking in big gulps of breath to calm herself but it only ended up with her stomach emptying it's contents.
Rei watched with all the will power she could muster as Kat passed out face first into the bodily fluids spilled across the floor.
(A/N: That was the most disgusting scene I've ever written. Sorry if this cased any problems for those of you with weak stomachs!)
^_^
I'm guessing Thomas must be dead too.
"Most likely…"
Being half plant, they couldn't survive the energy loss. I can't figure out why Kat hasn't suffered any of it yet. I can only guess how much longer Vash has got left. Did you see how his hair is turning silver?
"Yes, that I did…"
Can I ask you one thing?
Kenshin lifted an eyebrow.
Why are you wearing that?
Rei looked up at the red head to see he was wearing a pink feather boa, with an old fashioned hat, costume jewelry and a red glittery spring heart headband. There was a strange star tipped wand that was blinking sticking out of his hakama.
Kenshin looked at the wolf through his heart shaped sun glasses, "I have no idea."
Isn't it Valentine's Day?
"I have no clue; I've been dead for the past few years. Time has no value where I came from."
Kuroneko poked his head out from under the couch and batted at the pink boa. Kenshin glared at him from under the brim of the hat.
Rei sneezed as one of the feathers the black cat clawed out landed on her nose.
Kuroneko's tail puffed as he was hit full on with the blast. His fur lay matted against his skin dripping with snot. The cat took off and dragged Kenshin off the couch as he was caught in the boa. Kenshin passed through the coffee table and eventually through Rei, whose fur stood on end.
"I never cared for Valentine's Day…" Kenshin muttered with his head still through Rei. He sat up and his voice grew louder, "Here's a helpful hint: DON'T DIE!"
Some Valentine's Day. There's no one to celebrate with and no one's in the mood for celebrating.
"Is Kat still knocked out?"
Yeah, she's up stairs sleeping.
"Is she going to be ok?" Kenshin asked as he removed the hat.
Rei slipped the head band back on him and removed the glasses as she replied. I don't know. She answered truthfully.
Kurama's light snores could be heard from the couch. He had cried himself to sleep. He was so week that he had to remain in his human form.
Rei glanced at the news headline which read: 'Our Favorite Foxy Ladies Vixen and Katakana Found Dead This Morning!' It went on to say that they had been killed in a plane crash returning home from a photo shoot in Hawaii.
'Is everyone dying? Could it be my fault for spending all this time away from heaven?'
Kenshin!
"What?"
I asked you if you had to go back. Your objective was to stay here long enough for the kids to figure out your past but with them gone, what's stopping you from coming back?
He shrugged and looked at the wolf with thoughtful eyes. His gesture and meaning was completely thrown off by the comical headband and boa but the message managed to get across. Even Kenshin didn't know how long he had left.
Do you think spending this much time away from the other realm has affected your spirit?
Kenshin sighed thinking it was a rhetorical question. Then he stood up, "I'm going to wait until Kat wakes up."
'I think it's best to leave her alone…' Rei thought but let him go. Kurama stirred in his sleep and began to mutter. Rei jumped onto the couch next to him and he quieted instantly. Rei could feel his arms wrap securely around her and his hands stroked her ears a bit before he dozed off into a deeper fit less sleep.
She signed. 'It almost wants to make me wish that I didn't have to wake up tomorrow…' She buried her nose in her massive tail and fell asleep almost instantly.
(A/N: Sorry for the odd chapter! Also sorry that I haven't updated in a while. Please forgive me! This story has to have some kind of action… which I'm still debating on… I'll try to hurry and write the next chapter! PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
