If Things Were Real
Chapter 9 – Mating
-

Wow, ok get control. To these people you never met him before. Of course that would mean I would have to stop staring. Oh god, how can I make this work? Go inside, now there's an idea. I started to go inside when Yusuke started with the questions. Maybe I can make this interesting… yeah maybe. Just got to find Kurama, easy. I hear him in the other room. I stepped in as Kuwabara and Kurama looked up to see me.
"Hey, guys. I think there's someone outside you know" I said
"Who?" Kurama asked.
"I don't know but Yusuke seems to know him" this was gonna be fun.
"Dose he have gravity defying hair?" Kuwabara asked stupidly.
"I highly doubt its Hiei" Kurama said, looking at Kuwabara.
"But he does have a cool bandana" I said, using all my efforts not to laugh.
"Is he short?" Kuwabara asked.
"Nope"
"Then it's not him" Kuwabara said boldly. The thing was, I wasn't lying. That's why I was staring. Hiei was now Yusuke's height, and that's pretty tall considering that he's taller than me. How I may never know… or maybe I will.
"Well, I want to go meet him, even if it's this Hiei person or not. You two should come. It'll be… fun" I grin and made my way to the door. I heard them get up and follow. I walked over to the door. I held it open for them. Kurama and Kuwabara walked outside, but I waited a few minutes. When I did walk out side, nobody was talking. Strange, yes?
"Someone want to fill me in?" I asked, taking a seat at the table.
"The guy in black, who used to be short, is Hiei. But he won't tell us shit about where he was" Yusuke said. Something wasn't right. I don't know what just something. Maybe it's the fact I expected everyone to start flipping out. Or maybe I just have an over active imagination.
"Right, Hiei" this was awkward. Here I am looking at the guy I 'mated' with and I'm supposed to pretend like I don't know him. Can you imagine my pain? Okay, I'm being over dramatic, but what's wrong with that? Hiei and Kurama are leaning up against the house and Kuwabara and Yusuke are sitting at the table with me. Silence, something that usually doesn't happen here. I didn't get much time to think because my left shoulder suddenly hurt like hell.
My right hand instantly flew to my shoulder. The pain was intense. My vision blurred. I felt tired. It felt like I was spinning. I closed my eyes and gasped. And then, as soon as the pain came, it left. My feeling of tiredness was replaced with a feeling of adrenaline. I stood up slowly. I then noticed that the place were Hiei bit me. The marks from his teeth were glowing red. "That's odd..." I muttered.
"What's odd?" Yusuke asked. I finally regained all of my senses to realize that I stood up pretty fast and everyone was looking at me. I quickly covered the mark and said "nothing". I knew it wasn't nothing. "You know I'm feeling tired. I'm going to head up to my room", I lied. I left my self back in and made my way up stairs.
Once in my room I took a look at the mark again. It was back to normal… well normal meaning how it was before. I sighed and fell on my bed.
"Stupid mark" I muttered as I shut my eyes.
"Do you always talk to yourself?" a voice asked.
"Only when I feel like it" I responded not bothering to look up. I heard shuffling by my window. After about a second I opened my eyes and sat up. I saw the fire demon sitting patiently on my widow ceil. "Do you always climb in people's windows?" I asked.
"Only when I feel like it" he replied with a mocking tone
"How the hell did you get so damn tall?" I asked quickly. I felt blush creep up my face at my forwardness.
"Because you're tall" that made no sense… at all. He noticed the confused look on my face and went on explaining. "We mated. I gave you a mark and you gave me your blood." My confused look didn't fade. Is he trying to tell me that he got taller because we got together? Ok, don't act like a spaz, act like you know what he's talking about… easier said then done.
"We have to be careful" he spoke up after yet another silence of awkwardness.
"Why?"
"Kurama knows the signs of mating and when you stood up out there, he probably recognized a few things."
"Like what?"
"The fact that you grasped the same shoulder that most demons usually mate with can have something to do with it"
"It couldn't be a shoulder spasm!?" I felt my anger rising at my extremely stupid answer as I quickly stood up. I felt dizzy. I closed my eyes and saw a flash of black.
Soon after that I saw Kurama and Hiei standing in a room looking extremely pissed. Hiei had to be the worst. The looked like he would kill the next person who even tried to enter the room but I wasn't looking at them directly. I thought that was the end of the vision but then I noticed something else. A body, a body that looked drained of life it self. It looked cold, very cold but the last the last thing I saw was Hiei's face. Something I really never want to see again. A look of horror, anger and rage. You know how you can see something and it makes your blood run cold, but you don't know why? That's what it felt like.
I snapped out of my vision quickly. My eyes slowly rested one Hiei. I know I was staring. I looked away and regained my composer and sighed. It was a little too weird for me. Unfortunately, Hiei realized something was wrong… damn.
"You okay?" he asked. I shivered.
"I will be" I responded not looking at him. I wonder, does he know about the visions? "Anyway, about Kurama, wouldn't it just be easier to tell him?"
"Maybe, but if we do we have to be careful on where we are. I'm sure you don't want the detectives to know."
"You're right. Let's head back down. Oh, and do me a favor and don't say Yusuke's name"
"Why?"
"You don't want to know" we both went downstairs the way we came. I ran down the hall way and down the stairs. I stopped abruptly once I came to the first floor. It had taken like a second for me to go from my room to the first floor. 'I'm faster and he's taller, great' I thought as I made my way out side again. I needed a laugh badly. I think I know just how to do it too.
"Hey Kuwabara, why do you think Urameshi is hiding his hand?"
"Why the fuck should I know. Ask Yusuke" he said. My head turned slowly to Yusuke as he muttered something under his breath.
"What Yusuke?" I said sweetly. If looks could kill, I would have died on the spot.
"I love you" he mumbled, looking extremely ticked. I swear everyone went green, except me. I was laughing too hard. After I recovered I thought I should tell them before word gets around to Keiko.
"Chill guys, he's just zapped" I said. I didn't think anyone would get it but Kurama got an amused look on his face.
"I've heard of it before, sounds completely idiotic" he said.
"Oh it is" I said "but it all so can be very fun". Yusuke got up and left looking completely disgusted. I laughed a little more than settled down again. There was yet another moment of silence, but for once it wasn't awkward. But t was boring. I decided to yet again go inside. I got around to thinking; I really didn't know what mating was. I guess no matter how much anime you know, you can't know it all.
Being as bored as I was I just wondered around the house. Looking at pictures, portraits, and anything else that seemed to interest me. I thought a bit harder about the 'mating' subject. I think I do recall Amanda mentioning something about it. Now what did she say… I suppose I can run up the phone bill and call her. Yeah, that sounds like fun. After going through the all the extra numbers, I finally called her personal line. It ringed a couple times and she picked up.
"Hello"
"Hey Amanda" I said waiting to see if she would recognize my voice
"Jessi…?" She asked. "Yup" I responded. Then the screaming started. I literally had to hold the phone away from my ear. When the noise level got back to about normal I started talking again.
"Judging by how loud the screaming was, I assume someone's over" I said deciding to sit on the floor thinking to would be a while.
"Yeah. Jenny is, hold on a second I'm putting it on speaker phone." I heard her say. About a second later I herd a click.
"Can I ever pull you two apart?" I asked
"Nope" they both responded at the same time.
"So am I missing anything in the marvel world of America?" I asked
"No," Jenny said "but what time is it there?"
"Dunno" I responded "why did I call at a bad time?"
"Let's just say that you're lucky we had sugar." I then mentally hit myself. I totally forgot about the time change.
"Sorry guys. Look I hate to be a total bitch but I don't have much time to talk" I wasn't lying either. The last thing I needed was for someone to walk in on me and listen to a one- sided conversation.
"Why do you call?" Amanda asked.
"What I just can't call my friends for the sake of calling my friends?" I said defensively.
"Nope" Jenny and Amanda said. They knew me all to well.
"Ok, ok. The thing is me and some of my… friends here were talking about some magnas' and we brought up mating. I have no clue what it is. I think I remember one of you two talking about it."
"Oh yeah," said Amanda "mating for demons is like getting married for us, except there is no divorce. You stay with that person for ever. Unless your Inuyasha's father." My stomach felt like it just dropped ten stories. Me married. Oh, Hiei is sooo gonna die. I thought it meant like we were dating. I don't even know if I love him that much, but what if I do…
"Jessi?" one of my friends said over the phone
"Sorry I got to go. Bye" I felt a little bad hanging up that fast, but I got over it. I stood up and looked at the 'mark' once again. I had had like a total of about two boyfriends and now "I'm married or mated or what ever" I said out loud, letting the words sink in. I then realized whether it was facing Hiei, keeping the secret or just finishing the mission; the rest of my time here was going to turn my life upside down.

M- Chan- okay that's all for now. Things to look for in the next chapter:
-

-
Hiei and Jessi get into a fight, basically about nothing. Jessi slips f a few quotes from their anime, and Kurama knows more than he should. Oh, yeah did I mention that they only have about two more months to train and prepare for the actual mission?
