Rea: hey. um…the quote down there is just for fun and has absolutely no relevance to the chapter as you will soon find out. I meant to finish typing this last night but I had to go to a birthday party and then I found out that my mom's friend's baby died right before it was born so…yeah. it was sad. and I cried. so I didn't get a chance to finish this as soon as I would have liked but it did get finished and so enjoy the new chapter.

CrazyDeafGirl: that was a bit violent:laughs: anyways...i guess that i'll answer your questions right now...Icama is a plant demon so she doesn't like it when other people eat plant foods (i.e.: salad, apples, etc.) because it's like they're eating her and Minna like to annoy her by doing so. the teacher couldn't see them because they were hiding behind some branches in a tree and she was being careless about her security. let me know if that clears it up or not, okay?
Hiei'scutegirl: of course i understand! we gotta stick together against the cuteness of the younger sibs! anyways, this one's waaaaay longer than the last capter, so enjoy!

Chapter 11
"Bubbles! Bubb-bubb-bub-bu-bu-bubb-bubbles! My bubbles!"
-Finding Nemo
Black.
All black.
A girl's eyes opened and shut but nothing changed. Everything was black.
A bright light suddenly came from a far corner and illuminated wherever she was a bit. It seemed to be a room of some kind. There was a bed in the far corner that looked dark and shadowy especially with the black chair standing in an awkward position next to it.
The girl looked around, curious as to why she was in here. She looked back at the bright light and her curiosity grew, drawing her towards the light. She slowly took steps towards the light and was almost at it when a sudden force pushed her into the far wall and knocked the wind out of her. The pain was blinding. She slid down the wall and tried to breath. It was as if she was suffocating. Her blurry eyes looked up at the ceiling, drifting over the crater made by her broken body.
Her breath was ragged; pain shooting through her side every time she inhaled. She grimaced as she turned to face the light again. Something in her said that the light would help her breath; make her fell better and heal her wounds.
The girl slowly fell to all fours and gasped from the pain. She slowly crawled towards the light, anticipating the force that would for sure kill her. She waited at the edge of the light circle for a few moments before reaching out a shaking, bloody hand towards it.
Pain shot through her arm. The girl gasped as she tried to withdraw her hand from the burning light. She found, however, that the light would not let go of her hand. The girl tried desperately to take her hand back but only resulted in causing herself more pain as her entire body was sucked into the light.
It was bright as the sun.
The girl shielded her eyes. Her eyes went wide when she discovered that she could shield her eyes as well as breathe normally. She was completely healed. The girl grinned as she looked at her healed body. Her white hair fell into her coal black eyes as she looked around the bright place.
A path suddenly sprung up from the ground. Rocks and trees grew around the dirt path and formed a scenery. The light shrank into a small, bright globe: the sun.
The girl looked around and discovered that she was in a forgotten place from her mind. This was a memory that she had intentionally blocked. She suddenly grew scared and tried to go back to the dark room but was blocked by a wall of sickly looking humanoids, colors purple, green, brown and black. Their bodies twisted in grotesque ways and silver eyes glared out at her. Golden teeth shown from what might be assumed mouths and snake-like tongues flitted out between them.
The girl screamed and ran in the direction of the path, closing her eyes for what she knew would come…
"Is anyone there?" a ten year old Minna asked. She turned a bend in the road and looked down the path. "Hello?"
Minna could have sworn that she had heard someone come through the woods. Minna looked behind a couple of bushes before taking her sword out of the scabbard. She cautiously looked around the small circle of dirt that surrounded her before walking a bit farther up the path.
A small noise came from her left. Minna turned with blinding speed towards it and held her sword at the ready. Her hands were shaking. She hated to admit it…but she was scared.
A large snake suddenly leapt out of the woods and would have sliced Minna's arm in half if she had not dodged at the last second. Minna jumped nimbly at the snake and brought the sword down, anticipating the sound of flesh being cut, bones cracking, and blood spilling.
No such sound came, however. The sound that did come was one entirely unexpected. It was the sound of metal breaking and falling in splinters to the ground. It was the sound of an evil laugh coming from the mouth of the snake and the sound of Minna's scared breathing.
"Who are you!" she screamed. "What do you want!"
The snake laughed again. "What do I want and who am I? Hahaha…I thought that you would know. I am simply a hired assassin and my employer wants your head on a platter. Not only my employer, actually…but the entire colonies of Dark and Light. You are an abomination, don't you know? Your own grandparents want you dead. And as I am being paid most handsssssomely…I want it as well."
The snake's head went for Minna, the large, yellow, poisonous teeth glinting in the fading sun. Minna closed her eyes as she anticipated the sting of the bite and the feeling of death.
The feeling of death came, but Minna did not feel it on herself. Minna opened her eyes and found that the snake was lying on the ground, dead. Minna stared at the corpse with an odd fascination.
How did it die! Minna thought. She looked around for the source of power that had killed the beast but found nothing. Until she looked at her hands.
They had turned into black fire-like orbs, giving off the feeling of glowing brilliantly yet not at all. Minna stared at them for a second before feeling scared again. What had she done?
The girl shook her head.
"No…no! Wake up! Wake up! WAKE UP!" she screamed. She grabbed her head and sank to the ground She began sobbing as she tried to block out the feelings that had come back, the memories that were flooding themselves in her mind, and the knowledge that she couldn't wake up on her own.
.:Hospital Wing in Koenma's Palace:.
Minna had been on the bed for six hours without making a single response. Icama sighed as she touched the bandage surrounding her head. She had woken up around ten minutes after they had arrived here but Minna was still asleep. At least, that's what Icama told herself. Minna was probably in a coma or something. A tear rolled down Icama's face as she realized that this was probably true, considering that Minna was not having to wear her helmet like usual.
Icama looked down to the floor for a second before looking back to Minna. Odd…,Icama thought, she looks different.
A slight trickle played around Icama's feet. She looked down and screamed. Blood was rushing around the floor and it was rising steadily. Icama was hyperventilating as she looked around the room. Ugly humanoids covered the ceilings and the room was steadily getting darker. Icama tried to open the door but found that she was stuck to the floor. Icama tried to think of some way out of this but nothing came to mind. She started sobbing suddenly and screamed.
"KOENMA!"
