Hi guys! Alright! This chapter is really long! So stop complaining! coughAnyacough Why am I ending all my sentences with exclamation points! Heehhehehehehehee. Just to warn you, there is a lot of cheesy fluff in here. Hmm. Cheesy fluff. That would taste funny. But then again, chocolate chip cookies and sour cream Pringles taste good together. Anyway! It might be a good idea for you to go back and reread chapter 10, the first part anyway. It'll make this make more sense. You'll see what I mean. Here's the long awaited chapter 12!
Oh, we own nothing you might recognize. Like the vid game the boys are playin. But if you recognize it, you get cool points! Yah!
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
It was a boring day and everyone had gone out to do something somewhere. There was an error in communication as to who was supposed to be watching the kids. So of course, no one was.
"Don't you ever stop playing those video games?" Genevieve complained.
"We just want to beat this boss, then we'll do som- pull out your hammer stupid! You can't chop it till its stunned!" Zephyr yelled at his brother, who was furiously mashing the buttons on the poor controller.
"You've been playing that all morning!"
"We've only done one dungeon."
"Yah! The WHOLE dungeon! It's taken forever!" she yelled.
"You're just mad cuz we won't let you play!" He taunted.
"Ya know what?" she asked
"What?"
"How are you gonna play with no controller?" she asked as she unplugged it.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" both boys cried as the game over music played.
"WE ALMOST BEAT HIM! AND WE NEEDED THAT HEART CONTAINER DAMMIT!" Zephyr screamed (my 7 year old brother does have a mouth like that, little punk.) "WHERE IS SHE!" The girl was nowhere to be seen. Zephyr took off up the stairs while Ty just sat in shock, hands still on the useless controller.
30 mins later
Yusuke walked in and collapsed on the couch. No sooner had he gotten comfortable than-
BOOM
"Damn kids. Who's spos'ta be watchin 'em?" Yusuke grumbled as he pulled himself up off the couch and made his way up stairs.
He found the little troublemakers in Yuna's room, looking through something they found in her closet.
"This is way cool! Why didn't she ever tell us about this?" Zephyr asked, looking at a strange silver-ish orb.
"Probly because we aren't spos'ta know about it!" Tyler said, looking worried.
"It's pretty, huh?" Genevieve asked, transfixed.
"Don't worry Ty, nothing bad is gonna happen." Zephyr assured his older brother. "It's not like anyone's gonna ca-"
"Catch you?" Yusuke asked. The three kids immediately broke into excuses.
"I was just trying to hide from them-"
"She unplugged the controller-"
"I knew if I didn't find them I'd be in trouble-"
"They made me do it-"
"She unplugged the controller!"
"They were in here first!"
"She unplugged the controller!"
"OKAY! SHUTUP!" Yusuke yelled, stopping the entourage of excuses. "Look, it's not my room you were messin around in, so I'm gonna turn you over to Yuna when sh-"
"NOOOO!" the boys yelled. "We're not supposed to come in here! She told us never to come in her room! She'll kill us!"
"Why? What'd you guys find?" Yusuke asked, curiosity getting the better of him.
"I'm not sure. A buncha papers and stuff, and this glowing ball thingy. Here look." Tyler explained, handing it to him. "It was in this big heavy box."
"Damn, it's cold!" Yusuke said, quickly putting it onto the bed.
"Geez, be careful! If you break it, she'll kill you too!" Tyler yelled.
"What'dya mean?"
"Well, it looks important."
"Yeah, well then why'd ya mess with it?"
Silence and blank stares were all that answered Yusuke's question. Annoyed to the roof with the kids he turned back around and decided to deal with the orb. He sat on the bed suspiciously looking from the orb to the box that read DNT back to the orb. 'If I weren't a D student I might know what DNT means.' Yusuke thought. Gently he picked the orb up and held it up to his face "I wonder what it does, and why is it so cold?"
"I think I hear the door." Tyler whispered to the others.
"Run for your LIVES!" Zephyr screamed flying out the door and down the stairs only to run right into Yuna and Zorrita.
"And why are you running." Yuna asked looking at her brother with knowing eyes.
"Ohhhh someone's in trouble." Zorrita cooed.
"TylerYusukeandGenevieveareinyourroomandtheyfoundthisorbthingy." Zephyr said as fast as he could. "Can I go now?"
"They're in my room, with my orb that was in the box that says not to touch it." Yuna said very calmly. "Right."
Zorrita and Zephyr stood in the middle of the stair case watching Yuna slowly walk up the stairs.
"This I gotta see." Zorrita said running after her friend, while Zephyr ran the other way.
Yuna walked into her room to see that Tyler and Genevieve were already hiding.
"Yusuke," Yuna said sweetly.
"Yeah?"
"Do you know what DNT means?"
"No."
"DO NOT TOUCH!" Yuna screamed.
Her outburst caused the orb to react making Yusuke dropped it onto his lap from the sheer coldness of it, only to howl in pain.
Zorrita who was watching the whole thing fell to the floor laughing. This caused Yuna to turn around and slam the door on her face. Zorrita, still laughing, went to find Niteblaze and Hiei to see if they could help her see the rest of the show, only to tumble down the stairs.
"You know that serves you right to go looking through my stuff." Yuna huffed crossing her arms.
"I'm sorry just please undo this." Yusuke said breathlessly.
"Undo what?"
"This!" Yusuke cried pointing to his lap.
The scowl fell from Yuna's face only to be replaced by a look of sheer horror.
"Kids o-out. Now." Yuna stammered pointing to the door.
Slowly the kids came out from under the bed and gingerly walked around Yuna toward the door then booked it down the hall.
Turning to close the door Yuna said, "Yusuke remember when I froze your hand?"
"Yeah what does that have to do with anything?" He said as a painful moan.
"Well do you remember what I did to un-freeze it?"
"Yuna."
"Well I've gotta do the same thing no matter what the area."
Yusuke's eyes got as wide as disks. Looking up at Yuna he said, "You're not serious are you?"
Yuna didn't say a word just looked down at the ground.
"So you mean whether or not I have little Yusukes is up to you?'
"Well yeah."
"Yuna?"
"Take off your pants."
Yusuke complied slowly as not to hurt himself anymore. Yuna gently knelt on the floor between Yusuke's legs and closed her eyes, not wanting to see her own humiliation. She, well, you get the idea.
Outside the door
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Hiei, Niteblaze, and Zorrita yelled.
"It burns!" Niteblaze cried into Hiei's shoulder.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Hiei laughed falling to the ground with Niteblaze still in his arms.
"I think I'm gonna go burn this picture out of my head." Zorrita said with a devious smirk.
"Hey you know what I just realized? Kurama isn't here." Niteblaze said looking up at Zorrita. "Zorrita where is Kurama?"
"In my room."
"Do I want to know?"
"Well let's just say he's a bit tied up at the moment." Zorrita said flashing an innocent smile.
Niteblaze lowered her head to Hiei's chest and listened to it rumble with his laughter.
In Yuna's room
Yuna sat on her bed cradling her orb in her hands and her face glowing scarlet. She was completely mortified. (Wouldn't you be?)
"Yuna?" the simple question came from across the room. There was no reply. "Yuna look-"
"Just stop Yusuke. Please." She said, still not looking at him. He sighed and went to sit on the other side of the bed.
"Ya know I really didn't want our first time to be like this." he said softly.
Yuna looked over at him, light blue hair falling across her face, "Yusuke, do you mean...?"
"Yah, I do. Are you okay?"
"I think so." She said with a sigh.
"So what is this thing?" He asked, pointing a finger towards the orb. It pulsed again.
"Leave it alone. Don't you think it's caused enough trouble?" Yuna asked, smiling.
"Yah, I guess so. So why does it…pulse like that?" Yusuke asked, scooting closer to her.
"It- it was made by my family, well, my clan…"
"O-kay."
"Let me explain it better. A long, long time ago, like a loooong time ago, this orb was created in case of desperate times. Everyone in the clan donated part of their power, in case of… well, I'm not sure."
"What do you mean?"
"It was stolen from the sirens before it was used for anything major."
"By who?"
"Another clan of ice demons, banshees. They used it, and since they didn't know how to use it, they caused the first major ice age."
"Ouch."
"Yah. Only that wasn't all. They hid it, so we couldn't get it back."
"That bites."
"Yah, but that's not even the worst of it. They figured that they had had the orb for long enough, and they tried to use it again. Ever heard of a little continent called Antarctica?"
A blank stare of disbelief followed this proclamation.
"Well, it used to be just a small island, by the name of Atlantis."
"You're kidding me."
"Don't I wish. So, after this second major freezing, they destroyed the orb. Well, that's what everyone was led to believe at the time."
"Isn't it right here?"
"Yes, that's the point. My ancestors knew the orb was intact, because not only had everyone put a bit of their power into it, they also put in a bit of their life force, so to speak. Everyone was still very alive; a sure sign the orb had not been destroyed. Unfortunately, though the banshees never really were able to harness our power, they were able to hide for the better part of the ages. The power of our family was being lost, and forgotten, because it was out of our possession so long. By the time I was born, I had no idea I was an ice siren. The legend of the sirens and banshees had been passed down through my family for generations. I thought it was just a legend, not an account of my past. I just thought I was a priestess in training with a weird knack for making it cold. I was raised in Greece, in Ningenkai. I moved to America as soon as I located relatives there. I couldn't handle the heat of the Mediterranean. It was very lucky I got out of Ningenkai when I did." Yuna paused, taking in a breath.
"Wait a minute- I'm confused. You said you went to America, but isn't that part of Ningenkai?" Yusuke asked, looking thoroughly confused.
"No, actually. Hmm, I'm surprised you don't know this."
"Well if you tell me, I'll know."
"Alright, alright. There is another realm, which consists mainly of one continent. It's called Amerikai."
"Right."
"I'm serious!"
"Well does Koenma rule that place too?"
"Nope. It's his twin brother, Soenma."
Yusuke started laughing.
"What?"
"Nothing." he laughed, "That's just great."
"Hush! I wanna get on with my story!"
"Alright alright! Go! Get on!"
"I said hush you! Now where was I? Oh that's right, Soenma. Well of course when I first got there, I still had no clue about my heritage. I was living with the people who turned out to be my actual parents. They had had me live with some of their close friends in Greece whenI was born so I would be safe. It was hard enough hiding themselves."
"Hide from what?"
"From Soenma. It was decided that the criminals responsible for the 'great freezes' had to be brought to justice. Many ice demons were brought in, but since my family had long ago lost the orb, we hardly registered. Plus, who would think of looking for an ice demon in the Mediterranean? My family did tell me what I really was, but I didn't believe them. I didn't want to. Everything I thought I knew, they told me was different, and I was really depressed for a while. I couldn't live with those people. They had ruined my life, it seemed to me then. I went back to my home in Greece. No one there knew me. It was as if I had never existed or had a home there. And like that wasn't bad enough, the heat made me sick. I nearly died. I couldn't, nor did I want to, go back to America, so I decided I didn't care if I died."
"Well obviously something happened." Yusuke spoke when the voice of the girl next to him faltered. He looked at her, and she looked as though she were reliving the memories she had just repeated. She looked like she needed cheering up. Yusuke put his arm around her and gave her a squeeze. She blinked a few times, looked at him a smiled weakly.
"Sorry. I'm just remembering it all like it just happened. I feel exactly like I did that day." She said, raising a hand to her eyes. When she lowered it, she felt it being covered with the hand of the boy next to her.
"You don't have to." He said, lightly squeezing her hand. (Told ya it was gonna get cheesy )
"I know. Thank you."
"No problemo. So, what happened next?"
Yuna drew a deep breath.
"Well, one day, I was taking a boat out to Crete, and it sunk. I'm not really sure what happened. Anyway, the water was so warm I could hardly stand it. All I can remember thinking was that I wished the water was colder. Right before I passed out, the water was just that; it was almost freezing. I blacked out, and next thing I knew I was in Koenma's office."
"Wait, so what happened? How'd the water get so cold?" Yusuke asked, looking confused. Yuna giggled.
"It was me. I was about to drown, and somehow that made me able to use my powers and cool down the water."
"Oh. So how'd you get to Koenma's?"
"Don't you think that'd be a bit suspicious? A sea in a tropical zone nearly freezing? I was identified as the culprit. For more that just that."
"What'd you mean?"
"They had never pinned anyone for the Ice Age or freezing of Atlantis. When they brought me in, they found out that the orb, which they now had in their possession, belonged to my family. So they charged me with a minor offense, and then they got me for the other two. Even though I wasn't even alive for either of them." Yuna's voice began to take on a more than just a hint of anger, and her hands clenched into fists. "I was given a huge sentence. After all, somebody had to pay for it. Why not this innocent girl?"
"Yuna, relax! It's freezing in here!" Yusuke spoke urgently, interrupting her train of thought.
"What? Oh, sorry. It's just…"
"Don't worry about it. I und-"
"Don't tell me you were going to say you understand. How could you possibly understand?" Yuna spat bitterly.
"I'm sorry yer mad, but don't take it out on me!" He said, standing up.
"Yusuke…"
"What? All I'm doing is sittin here, listenin to you, and now yer yellin at me!"
"Yusuke, I'm sorry. I don't mean to yell at you. I don't want you to be angry."
"Really?" Yusuke asked, sounding like a pouting child.
"Really really," Yuna smiled. "Now, will you come sit back down?"
"Okay." Yusuke sighed, resuming his seat on the bed next to her. "So after they, screwed you over, what happened?"
"I flipped out, of course. I didn't believe them, so they showed me the orb as proof. Big mistake. As soon as it got near me, all my dormant power was awakened, and not only was I pissed, but I was in full demon form."
"Hahaha! Sucks to be them."
"Exactly. First thing I did was try to kill Koenma. I almost succeeded. That's why he's so afraid of me." Yuna smirked
"I would be too. That's kinda funny. So did you start workin with Zorrita and Niteblaze after that?"
"No, that was later. At first I was partnered up with Alucita, and we worked together for awhile. The fact that she was kidnapped by Carnage was one of the reasons I was put with those particular people. You see, Koenma wouldn't let me go after my partner alone. (Back in her journal, it didn't say anything about that when she was mind controlled was the first time she met Alucita. go back and read it if you don't believe me!) He said I'd end up doing somethin stupid. Sound familiar?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. So do Zorrita and NiteBlaze know you used to be partners with Alucita?"
"Not at first. They thought I was just on their team. Truth is, Koenma figured they wouldn't get along, so he wanted me to be the leader. He just wanted a referee. Stupid toddler. But I guess he was right. They still don't get along too well. Gettin better though." Yuna said with a sigh, leaning back onto the bed, using Yusuke's arm as a pillow. This forced him to lie back too. She yawned and curled up on the bed. "Well, that sure took awhile. I think I wanna take a nap."
"Well alrighty then." Yusuke smiled. When he woke up a few hours later, he just couldn't wake the girl whose head was resting on his chest, and arms were wrapped around him. Every time she exhaled, the piece of blue hair that was across her face moved up and down. "Yeah, I don't gotta get up quite yet." He said with a grin.
