-Chapter 5- Calm Before the Storm-
The attic wasn't the most exciting place to be; dust was gathering up almost everywhere, there was an old bunk bed, where the wood structure looked as if it was going to collapse any second. The three stood at the floor boards which looked as if they were to break into pieces making them fall to the floor below.
Kimi- "I GET TOP BUNK!"
Aki- 'Stupid flies, so friggin lucky I don't have my fly zapper.' "I'll sleep on the bottom"
Shiori- "Please excuse the mess, and we don't have any more guestrooms either, Hiei and Yukina are already sharing the room, so you'll have to be sleeping here until, I leave"
Kimi- "Huh? MINAMINO SAN IS LEAVING! WHERE? WHY?"
Shiori- "Shhh! You'll wake Shuichi up, and leaving for half a year, my mother herself isn't doing very well, and well, Shuichi has school, so, I don't want him to go. I already bought the plane tickets to China, and I'm leaving tomorrow, when Shuichi has school"
Kimi- "BUT WHO WOULD COOK? LAST TIME HE BURNT THE BREAKFAST!"
Shiori- "SHH! He'll learn, and it's time to sleep, good night" (goes downstairs)
Wordlessly, Kyo took a blanket and used it as a pillow to sleep on. The dust flew everywhere as she plopped down onto the floor. 'Shit, it's a crescent moon tonight' "Hey, we have to get outta here before midnight." Lying awake because of all the flies, Aki replied to Kyo's remark, "It's tonight? Heh, at least the windows work, maybe they won't notice"
Kimi- (head leaning towards the floor) "Awww, It's already here? Hmph!"
Aki- "It's starting…"
A cold mist wrapped around Aki's body, and two black eyes pieced through the mist. Walking out, came a girl hair of silver with Wolf ears popping out of her head, and a shimmering tail of the same color. Snapping her fingers, her index finger lit a fire, lighting the attic. "Let's hope this is quick"
Kimi- "Uh...oh…"
Bubbles came from the space around her, engulfing her into the bubbles. Moments after, the bubbles disappeared, leaving behind the same red-head, with x's on her eyes, but from her now pink and white head came two bunny ears and she had a cotton ball tail. "Ow…."
Aki- "You still can't get use to this, after so many years."
Suddenly, a rupture of spirit energy came into the room, but disappeared as fast as it came. "Seems like I'm losing my control…" Kyo had turned into a cat-creature, with ears coming out from her now, black and ivory grey hair and a tail of satin black. "Hope they didn't notice, let's go"
Kurama woke up panting; a yokai was near, very close, more than one perhaps.
There was a knock on the door; cautiously he opened it, staring at him, a crimson-eyed fire demon.
Hiei- "Did you feel that?"
Kurama- "Why do you think I'm awake?"
Hiei- "Nevermind that, we have to watch the tape."
-The Tape-
Koenma Productions-
Koenma – "Ahem, as always, the tape can only be viewed by those with spirit/demon energy or a sixth sense. Now, onto the issue, we have been noticing some demon energy around the area. And as Yusuke's comrades, you must contact him about this immediately, and get theses demons in control. We are informed that there are more than two and they act together. So watch your backs, AND GET THIS MISSION DONE! Good luck!
-End of Tape-
Kurama-"….well, I guess since we know about this, we'll tell Yusuke tomorrow, go to sleep Hiei."
Hiei – "Hn"
Aki- "It's almost time, let's go back"
Kimi- "Finally! It's too cold out here!"
They headed back to the house as they started to turn back into their human forms. The three laid themselves back in their sleeping positions and slept until a scream was heard from downstairs. Kimi, half dazed went down the stairs and looked at the Kurama, who was stunned still.
Kimi- (rubbing one eye) "Shuichi… why are you screaming?"
Kurama- "Mother has LEFT! And SHE HAS ENROLLED YOU THREE IN MY SCHOOL!"
Aki – (coming from behind Kimi replied with confusion) "But we're not even 14 yet"
Kurama- (reading from note) "I have enrolled Aki, Kyo and Kimi into Meiou High so you can watch over them, and because paying all together in one school was cheaper, I will be back in a few months, take care. And I asked Shizuru to come and live here too"
Kimi- "COOL! Who's Shizuru?"
Kurama- "She's my friend's older sister, so… I guess these uniforms are yours"
Kurama took the box from the doorstep and opened it. Inside, were two magenta female uniforms and one male uniform. "I guess she made a mistake…"
"No she didn't"
Kurama turned around; Kyo was looking at the uniform and walked towards him. She took it off his hands, "Kyo is a boy name isn't it?"
-7:30 am-
Kurama standing in front of the complaining three-
Kyo was wearing the boy's uniform, although much to her liking, the color was horrible. "Why is it pink? Why do boys wear pink!… This color doesn't suit me…." She said in monotone.
Kimi- "IT IS RED! IT MAKES ME LOOK LIKE A TOMATO!"
Aki- "Magenta sucks…why the hell is the skirt so friggin short!
Kurama- "Kyo… do you really think that they're going actually believe you're a guy?"
Kyo- "You shouldn't be the one speaking"
Kurama- "Even if you do look more like a boy in that outfit and with the hair tied, your voice is still very feminine"
Kyo then used her hand and squeezed her throat, "But not anymore" She indeed sounded like a male, and now a very successful crossdresser. Meanwhile, Aki was still trying to make the skirt as low as possible without pulling it down whole. "Grrr, why is this thing so short!"
Kurama – "It's time to go, let's head towards the school…" 'This is going to be a long few months…"
-School-
Class 2D –
Sensei- monotonous tone Class, we have three new students, please settle, Mitsu-kun, Amaya-chan, and Akako-chan come in.
The three walked in, as they did, the class was silence. They came into the room, not in the order as the teacher called. Most stared at how short they all were compared to the rest of them. Having two years of difference, the three were at least 4 inches lower in height than everyone else.
Sensei- "Now, why don't you introduce yourselves to the class?"
Kimi- "OK! HI! I'M KIMI!"
Aki – "My surname is Akako, that's all you need to know."
Kyo- "……….."
Sensei- Now, all of you please take any empty seats
Kyo took the seat all the way at the end, furthest from the window, basically, the dark corner, where no one sits near. Aki took the closest seat and cleanest in reach, which was the second row, third seat from the window. Kimi took the seat right in the center of the whole class.
First class- History-
Sensei- reading from book "…And after the man saw the woman, he stole her feathered robes. Not knowing that they were what she needed to go back to the heav—AMAYA CHAN, PAY ATTETION!"
Kimi then looked up to the teacher, she was doodling. The doodles consisted of bunnies, ice cream, more bunnies and more ice cream.
Sensei- "And would you please tell us what I just said, AKAKO CHAN!"
Aki picked up her head from her arms, which she was sleeping on. Only a few hours after the transformation was really tiring her. "The man saw the woman, and... he stole her stuff"
Sensei- "What was this STUFF? MITSU-KUN!"
Kyo had her head on one hand, and she too, was sleeping, not because of exhaustion, but because school was just plain boring. "They were what she needed to go back to the heav—Amaya chan, pay attention."
Sensei- "WRONG! ALL THREE OF YOU! GET A BUCKET OF WATER AND STAND OUTSIDE!"
The class snickered; the three midgets just got to class and already have ticked the teacher off.
-Hallway-
Kimi was balancing the bucket on her head while trying to spin around really really fast. Aki held the bucket really close to the ground, occasionally dropping it when no teacher was around, and was resting her head. Kyo, she was just holding the bucket while leaning on the wall, looking at the vibrations of the water inside.
Walking down the hall to the bathroom, Kurama saw the three.
Kurama- "You guys, girls got yourselves in trouble already!"
Kimi- . - "So many Shuichis…."
Kurama- (sweatdrop) "You're hopeless…" (walks on)
-Lunch-
The three headed outside, Kimi was the only one who bothered to have food. Kyo jumped up a tree, one to avoid any questions from "pretty boy" another, the shade was very nice on the sunny day like this. Aki laid herself on the grass and went to sleep once again. To the three's discomfort, Kurama came towards them anyway.
"Now tell me what happened this morning," he said as he sat down next to Aki and Kimi. Kimi, finishing a rice ball was the only one to reply, "The teacher just doesn't like us, the other people wasn't paying attention either, he just likes picking on us cause we're new." Kurama nudged Aki awake, so she would eat.
Aki- "I don't want anything, let me sleep!"
Her scream led everyone surrounding them stare, for a few seconds, then they continued what they were doing. Kyo fell from the tree when she screamed too, she landed flat on her back, onto the grass. Her head hit a rock, eyes still open, she went into unconsciousness.
Kimi- "Kyo fainted again…"
Aki – (repositioning to sleep) "Wake me and her up when its time to go back in"
At this point, Kurama started edging away from them, he heard the hoard of fangirls, if anyone saw him with them, they would be stampeded, and then burned. Kimi was in delight to know that when he left, he left his lunch.
-Home-
Shizuru- "Hey Kurama, so these are your new sisters and a… crossdresser"
Kurama- "Sisters!"
Shizuru- "Well, they'll be living with you, so why not?"
Kurama- "I guess… what about Kuwabara?"
Shizuru- "Baby bro is at Yusuke's place, our house has been eaten by termites, so we needed places to crash in"
The five orphans walked into the room, all with comments about this issue-
Kimi- "CAN WE GO SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES NOW?"
Aki- "Give me some money; I need to go buy a fly zapper, a fly swatter, and bug spray."
Hiei- "IS THERE ANY SWEET SNOW?"
Yukina- "There isn't enough room in this house…"
Kyo- "Can you keep it down? I'm trying to sleep on the couch you know"
Kurama, with a gigantic sweatdrop, took everyone to the mall. They first entered the clothing store. The seven were split into groups, Shizuru, Kimi, and Yukina in one, the other four in the other.
Kurama allowed Kyo and Aki to choose three outfits, along with undergarments. Kyo came back in her hands full of blacks, and greys. Aki had hues of blues of all kinds, and silver in her hands. 'So they basically have a color theme…" Kurama thought as he paid for the clothing with the money given by the government.
Next they went to another store, where accessories were bought. Unlike most girls, the two didn't reach for the bracelets, and expensive diamonds.
Aki came to the red head handing him two blue wristbands with an icicle in the center and silver trimmings along with a big black belt with chains hanging from the end.
Kyo threw at him a pair of black fingerless gloves with metal cuffs at the wrists along with ankle and wrist weights. With the remainder of about 500 yen, they actually bothered to get Hiei some ningen clothes.
Shizuru, starting with 5000 yen, was now down to 40. Kimi took 10 outfits, all tank tops and jeans that are way too big for her, in colors of… all sorts. Then, she went and bought a ton of belts, all black and white and all glittery.
Afterwards, Kimi demanded she get some food, so they bought 7 hot dogs for her to munch on as they walked on. Yukina bought some cloths and decided she'd make her own clothes instead.
(A/N- I know, it's getting boring, but the humor comes later… I hope….)
After Aki bought her bug/insect destroying objects, they returned home and moved beds and such. Next, they picked the person they're sharing a room with out of a hat. Kurama remains in his room, Shizuru sleeps in Shiori's room and Hiei stays in the guestroom. They decided to let the attic be, one, because the bed was too crippled to even sleep in.
Room Divisions A/N- No, it does not mean pairings
Kurama shares room with Kimi (bad luck)
Shizuru shares room with Yukina (fair luck)
Hiei gets the other two (what you get for going last)
(To all readers' relief, they all have their own beds, some might not want to sleep in it, but they have their own anyway)
-Sleeping Time-
Kurama regretted his pick dearly. Kimi had already one-third of the room covered with all her unfolded just-bought clothes. And then she took his three pillows, leaving him with only one now and her with seven. She demanded she get her comfort. Worst of all, SHE WANTS THE LIGHTS ON. WHO CAN SLEEP WITH THE LIGTS ON? Shizuru was sleeping in peace in the other room, as was Yukina, lights of, room clean, and plenty of places to walk.
The guest room was practically empty at this point. Aki took a pillow, and took it to the corner, she was going to sleep sitting up. The three drawer cabinet was all full, and was standing at the other corner. Kyo had placed the three beds at one side of the room and took the blankets of all of them and used them as a mat. Hiei… he was sleeping on the windowsill. The room was pitch dark, with even the mirror completely blacked out.
-Next day- No school
Kurama woke up at 11 am; he didn't expect a day at the mall would be so tiring. He slept for 14 hours, to his surprise, THE LIGHT WAS ON! He looked across the room, to find Kimi's clothes actually FOLDED and STACKED! And... she was gone.
Then he heard a ton of crashing sounds from the kitchen. Running down, he saw Shizuru, Hiei, Aki and Kyo all looking in the kitchen. He looked over their shoulders, to see... POTHEADS!
Kimi was running and tripping around the kitchen with a pot stuck on her head! To everyone's surprise, she was stupid enough to bang her head on the counter trying to get the pot off. Obviously, it wasn't working, but Kimi didn't seem to notice that.
Yukina was crawling around the kitchen on all fours. She ended up crawling onto her kimono and stumbling onto the floor. Yukina tried to find somewhere to go, but bumped into the counter realizing a pot was stuck on her head.
Kimi – "Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow ..."
Yukina – "Kimi, what are you doing?"
Kimi – "If only I knew...I can't see anything! Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow!"
Kurama – "STOP IT ALREADY!"
Kimi – "Which one is talking to me, Aki, Kyo, Yukina, or Shizuru?"
Kurama – "WHAT! Are you trying to say I sound like a girl?"
Kimi – "Whoops... I didn't mean it, but I just couldn't tell the voice apart. (sweatdrop inside the pot) I hope you didn't take it seriously."
Yukina – "Umm, if I'm not mistaken, is my head stuck in a pot?"
Kimi – "I'm pretty there is… "
Aki – "Since when did you get so smart?"
Shizuru – "Forget about that for now, how will we get them unstuck?"
Kimi – "oOo I KNOW I KNOW! (jumps up and down frantically) It's very simple; just keep banging your head until the pot comes out."
Hiei – "Baka ningen..."
Kyo – "Normally I could care less, but I doubt your brain damage to get any worse"
Shizuru – "I'll get it out, and I have my ways, just don't complain what happens to your head. (cracks knuckles) heh, might come off you know"
Shizuru walked over to Kimi and attempted to yank the pot off.
Kimi – "Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow"
Shizuru finally gave up after two hours of at least a thousand 'Ows' and a squirming Kimi who never stayed still. She helped Yukina out of the pot in less than 5 minutes since she was very well controlled with pain after being captured and tortured just for her to tear a few drops of water that turns into Hiruseki.
Kimi, at last, was out of the pot. She had to be held down by Kurama while Shizuru did the yanking. Kimi had a red tomato face and two X's in replacement of her eyes after three hours of suffocation.
-Next day- 6:30 am-
Kurama hid under his blanket, avoiding the sun shining onto his eyes, making him want to open them. The eternal ringing of his alarm clock was adding more difficulty into staying asleep. He never really had to use it, but the stress of having so much people in the house was getting to him.
Kimi- "WAKE UP SLEEPYHEAD! (bangs pot and spatula) I MADE BREAKFAST!"
More encouragement to not wake up...
Shizuru- "Kurama, you're going to screw up your perfect attendance record..."
Kimi- "Huh? Who's Kurama?"
Kurama- "It's a nickname!"
Kimi- "Can I call you Kurama?"
Kurama- "Uhh... sure...AHH! IM GOING TO BE LATE!" (rushes into bathroom)
-School- Kurama's POV
I stared into space, the teachers monotonous talking was droning the concentration out of me. My mind started to wander of how the present I'm living in came to be. From Youko, to Shuichi, to... well... now. Three strange girls living in my house. My mother leaving... I shook my head. My hair ticked my back as they came back into place. I knew I shouldn't think about Shiori, I was not going to cry, not here, not now.
The teacher handed out a test; I guess he was talking about a pop quiz. This shouldn't be a problem; tests were a matter of strategy. If you memorize how teachers make tests then it was easy to study for. Some would test students on basics in the book, others would question on complex detail. Some may even just quiz on things they spoke about in class. This teacher tested on complex detail, what a jerk...Test... was easy, I found myself daydreaming once more, looking out the window.
It was the same, as the day before; the sakura petals flying carelessly with the wind. A few fell to the ground, then were swept away once again, only to fall to the ground once more. They reminded me of Hiei, every time he tries to face Yukina, he fails, when he tries again with new false hopes; he falls down further, deeper. The same day these petals flew by, behind them was the space of thick smoke. I was in my own little world now, the teacher seemed to notice.
Sensei- "Minamino-kun you can stand outside the hall"
I stepped out the door, there I saw Kaito, and the teachers once again were competing for who could give the hardest pop quiz again. "The test was no problem?" He looked over and replied "Well, if it didn't give you any, how will it give me?" I chuckled at the remark, and then saw Aki and Kyo at the other side of the hall, to my surprise, they didn't hold buckets. I walked over, 'What are you guys doing out here?"
Kyo- "Moving the pencil is so troublesome, but I finished the test, and I slept, the teacher saw me sleeping and told me to go outside."
Aki- "The test was finished, and the teacher called me out for the same reason."
Afterwards, Kimi came out; I asked her the same question. "The teacher told me to go out here before I made anymore doodles on my test paper." That was mostly the interesting part of my day, Kimi could actually read...
After school I went to my comfortable bed and slept.
-Home- Second incident third person
Hiei- "WHERE IS MY KATANA?"
Everyone at the living room stared at the little fire demon. Shizuru, Yukina, and Aki, whom were sitting on the rug watching television, turned their heads away from the amazing box of entertainment. Kyo rose from the couch and turned her head. Hiei's face was red, but he continued yelling. "Anyone seen my katana!"
Yukina- "Ummm, Hiei-san I-I saw K-Kimi inside the k-kitchen with your k-katana"
Her stammered, shuttered words showed great fear. Hiei, with his cold mask on felt guilty, but he ran into the kitchen. His eyes grew wide as he saw the scene happening in front of him.
Kimi- "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Spinning around really really really really really fast, Kimi held out Hiei's katana.
Hiei- "BAKA NINGEN!
Kimi- still spinning "HUH? WHAT'S A BAKA NINGEN?"
Screaming the word "YOU!" Hiei raced towards Kimi snatching the katana off her hands. Kimi looked at Hiei, stared... and broke into a hysterical laughter. Hiei blinked continuously and left the girl rolling on the floor laughing her lungs out. When he entered the living room, everyone laughed, waking Kyo up. She stared at Hiei, chuckled and remarked, "Never noticed how short you were without your hair." Hiei looked into the mirror, and screamed. "WHAT THE –beep! KIMI! GET YOUR –beep-'n -beep- OUT HERE NOW!"
-end-
DR- I'll leave the chapter here, this has been way too long. Long time since update and longest chapter yet.
Kimi- 11 PAGES!
-Coffeetable- Review Corner-
Sound of crickets There's no one here...you guys don't like our coffee?
