Zombie: > stop that!
A few hours later Hannah was sat at the glass pane, listening avidly to what Rei was telling her. All the years she had been alive and she had never encountered any of the wonders this cat like boy was describing to her.
Kai and Tala watched the scene from the sidelines, Kai leant close to Tala and chuckled, "Rei's got her wrapped around his little finger" Tala just stifled a laugh in response, watching the small girl's eyes light up in awe at every delight Rei told her about.
Ghost was also listening, just not as avidly as her smaller companion. She knew that Hannah was just like a small child at mind, and the simplest things delighted her, let this boy entertain her, he was doing a good job, and it saved her from having to do it.
Rei was having fun too, it was easy to tell. He never stopped smiling once while he told the two girls all about his homeland and the wonders of the world. Kai left the room unnoticed and returned in the same manner, carrying a small bundle under his arm.
"What's that?" obviously no so unnoticed as Tala asked him.
"Clothes, for them, surely you haven't been so wrapped up in Rei's fairy tales that you haven't noticed that one of them has been ripping pieces of fabric off her sleeves since Rei started?"
Tala looked and sure enough, small strips and tangles threads were littered all around Hannah as she hung on Rei's every word, steadily shortening her sleeves to her elbows. "No I didn't notice, and I don't think she has either, maybe she does it without realizing?"
"Could be…" Kai walked over and unlocked the bars over the hole at the top of the door. He threw the bundle through the hole and replaced the cover. He then swung the cover back over the glass panel and locked it again.
Rei stood up and walked away from the door, chuckling to himself. "Man they are easy to amuse!" He grinned and got out a box of bandages, "Anyway Mr. Invalid, its your turn now!"
"Ok" Tala said, and pulled his t-shirt over his head, revealing the bandages wrapped all around his torso.
They heard a cry of dismay from behind the holding cell door. "No way!"
"What's wrong with you?" Kai asked as Hannah's face appeared at the door, pulling herself up on the bars again.
"These are BOYS clothes!" she cried, looking outraged.
Kai just shrugged, "Yeah, so? There aren't any girls here, so no need to keep girls clothes"
Hannah's expression was comical to Ghost, who started laughing like crazy in the background. "But…I am a girl! Girl's do not wear boys clothes!"
Ghost chuckled and sighed, "This is the 21st Century remember Hannah? Things aren't how you remember them, a lot of girls dress like this now"
Hannah just picked up once of the items gingerly by her fingertips. "If you say so…but do not think I like this!"
"I won't" Ghost laughed and turned away to let her friend change, having already changed into the jeans and shirt provided.
"Ok I'm done, this is ridiculous!"
Ghost turned around to look at the other girl, and immediately burst out laughing.
Hannah scowled, "what's so funny!"
"I'm sorry!" Ghost choked out, "It's just seeing you….in shorts!"
Hannah was dressed in a pair of cut off denim shorts, finishing just below her knees, and a oversized white t-shirt, long enough to finish just an inch above the bottom of the shorts. "I feel stupid…" Hannah said dejectedly, looking off to the side, "At least your clothes cover your legs!"
Hannah scowled even deeper while Ghost just shook her head and sighed. "Don't worry Hannah, you'll be back in your corsets and skirts before long"
"I hope so!" The smaller girl said indignantly, "This is not proper!"
"Nothing is proper anymore Han"
Their conversation was cut short by the sound of the metal cover being swung away from the glass panel again. Hannah tried to stay out of view from the window by sidling away from the window, but Ghost grabbed her arm and pulled her back to the centre of the room. A low growl emanated from Hannah's throat but she didn't attempt to move again.
"Well I must say I'm impressed," Kai said slowly, "You two almost look like normal humans, and with a baseball cap, I'm sure we could pass you off as a child?" He said to Hannah.
Hannah growled and moved forwards, but Ghost's grip on her arm tightened, so she stayed where she was. She noticed another boy sat at the back of the room, typing away on a laptop, his face covered by his hair, a pair of glasses perched on his head.
"Hey Kenny! Not so hard on the keys please!" A feminine voice cut through the air, it sounded mighty pissed off.
"Sorry, Diz! I just need you to finish this scan real quick!" The bespectacled boy apologized, seemingly speaking to no one.
"Ok ok! Just don't take any stress out on my board please!" The voice said again, "Ok scan complete, Kenny!"
After a few moments, the brown haired boy almost leapt out of his seat with shock. Everyone turned to look at him questioningly. "No way! I never thought this was even possible!" The boy ranted, almost hyperventilating.
Rei was first on the scene, "Calm down Chief!"
The boy seemed to calm down and actually start breathing again. "Those girls...they're…they're hybrids!"
Rei blinked and gave him a blank stare, "Come again?"
Kenny cried out excitedly, "They are a mixture of the two! Both are half vampire and half…human"
Tala was on his feet in an instant, "No way! That's gotta be wrong! No way can anyone with even a hint of humanity be a cold blooded killer!"
Hannah rolled her eyes, "Thanks for putting it so delicately…" Ghost merely glowered at Tala.
Kenny was near bouncing up and down in excitement, "Don't you understand! They are one of a kind! This could give me the chance I've been waiting for to conduct my tests!"
Ghost's eyes widened, "That psychoain't coming near me!"
Hannah just stared into space, not even paying attention.
Kai was the only one who seemed to remain calm.
Hannah suddenly broke into the conversation by screaming at the top of her lungs, "DUCK!" and flung herself to the floor, taking Ghost with her. "Not gonna get me this time!" She looked up and yelled at nothing.
"Hannah, not here! Not now!" Ghost cried and grabbed Hannah's legs aas she tried to stand up, making her to fall over again.
Hannah just wriggled away from her and stood up again, "I have to get it!" and then jumped up into the air, grabbed fistfuls of air.
Everyone just watched the tiny girl launch herself at something only she could see, letting out a cry of triumph as she grabbed hold of something. And slammed it into a wall.
"Ghost! I got it!" She cried out happily, "I finally got it!"
Ghost sighed, "Great Han, just great, now you remember where we are right?"
Hannah looked at the faces of the boys watching her with blank faces through the glass panel, "Oh…hi?" She gave a nervous laugh.
Daichi, who had appeared from no where, "I TOLD you she was a nut case!"
"Yeah…I believe you Daichi, I really do…" Rei looked confused to hell.
Kenny adjusted his glasses and peered through the glass. "Yes, clearly a sign of insanity, interesting" He typed something into the laptop and returned to staring at the small girl.
Hannah was extremely uncomfortable. "Someone make him stop, he's really creepy…"
Ghost had had enough of it all, "I want out! Let me out of this cage you bastards!" She dealt the glass a hefty kick with the combat boots.
"Ghost…" Hannah began.
"No! I refuse to be kept in here like an animal! I'll take on anyone who tries to stop me!" She yelled furiously.
Kai stepped forward, "Ok now I'm interested" he grinned, "Let her out"
Daichi ran forwards, "What are you insane! She'll kill us all!"
Kai just sort of smiled, "No she won't, Ill fight you Ghost! I win, you stay here with us, you win, you and your loon are free to leave"
Hannah fumed in the background, "Who are you calling a loon!"
Her voice went completely ignored though, as the door swung open and Ghost stepped out, never taking her eyes off Kai's. "I'm gonna enjoy this, Nemo"
Silence filled the room and Kai and Ghost stared each other down. Ghost made the first move, she ran full pelt towards Kai, her fist raised high and a scream of anger spilling from her lips.
