Rei was busy trying to find Orion's Belt when a big, burly demon came into her line of sight.
"Well, if it isn't a little human girl. Er... you don't smell so human, though... Haven't I seen you with that disgusting human boy?"
Rei barely acknowledge him, but then he said, "You look yummy. Maybe I should eat your soul."
Rei jumped up and punched him in the face as she said, "In your dreams, bucko!"
The demon fell to the ground and Rei flexed her hand. "Hmm. That hurt worse than it usually does. Maybe I should exercise more?" she asked herself. She looked over and saw Ishida giving her a weird look.
She grinned and gave him a peace sign-- confirming all his thoughts that she was crazy.
"What the heck are you doing out here?" he asked and looked at his watch, "It's almost 11."
"What are YOU doing out here?" she asked, a playfull gleam in her eye. He mumbled "Don't start messing with me."
Rei sighed blissfully and laid back down in the sand. Ishida almost stopped her but then shook his head. He sat down next to her and watched the sea as she watched the sky. A few minutes later, he stood up and brushed himself off.
"You better get inside."
"Is the rest of the Akakihana in the room?" Rei asked and stood up.
"Uh, yeah. Why?"
Rei didn't answer and headed for the hotel, leaving Ishida behind. She walked past the Urameshi door and knocked on the Akakihana one.
Saori answered, "Rei! What're you doing? Why are your shoes wet?"
Rei smiled and asked, "Can I come in?"
"Sure!" Kanu answered from the couch. "We were all about ready to die."
"Two fire demons in one room is enough to up the heat a little," Ces said from where she sat on the windowseat, next to the open window.
"Not to mention one hot shadow demon!" Saori winked. They giggled and Kireau asked, "Why aren't you in your room?"
Rei looked to the floor where the tall, fire kitsune was leaning on a pillow. "I... felt like hanging out with you guys."
Ces clapped her hands, "Good! I've been dying to talk to someone other than these three." She stood up and stretched her back, "Anyone want a pop? We're gonna have a mini-party!"
"I'll take one!" they all answered. Just then Ishida opened the door and Ces pointed at him, "You've been elected. Come help me."
He rolled his eyes and closed the door again. Ces followed and Kanu turned to Rei, "I swear, it has to be PMS or something."
Rei laughed, "You've noticed that about him too, huh?"
"Just a little," Kanu answered as she stood. "Hey Kireau, do you know if we brought the cards?"
"Cards?" Kireau answered sleepily.
"Yeah, playing cards. Y'know, for Poker?"
Recognition passed over Kireau's eyes for a second, "Oh yeah, they're in my suitcase. Front zipper."
"Thanks," Kanu said and walked to the bedrooms. Rei sat down on the couch and Saori looked to her, quite seriously, "You never answered my first question."
"Oh," Rei started. "I was down by the beach."
"Oh! That's why you're a little sandy, too," Saori bubbled. "Du-uh!" she hit her head with her palm. "I'm a little slow tonight."
Kireau waved her hand, "That's alright. I think this tournament is getting to ALL our minds. Ishida becomes moody, I get tired, Kanu gets moody, Ces gets tired and you get crazy. The fun never ends."
Kireau yawned and Rei shook her head, "I'm not totally sure if that all made sense."
"I'm still trying to figure out what she said," Saori said, a little quizzically. Kanu entered before they could laugh and said, "I heard my name."
"Yeah, we're talking about everyone," Saori threw herself onto the floor and grabbed a huge pillow as she went. "I just wuv dis pwace. So many wuvvwy piwwows..."
Rei looked around their room and said, "I think you guys got a better room than we did. I don't have any big pillows in mine, and dude, ours is so bare."
"I think it's because they knew four girls were going to be living here for the tournament," Ces reentered with pop and Ishida. They set the pops and bags of munchies on the coffee table and Ces straightened up, "Good thinkin'! I totally forgot about playing cards."
Kanu shuffled the deck and said, "So did I until I remembered Kireau had a deck."
Saori sat up and reached for the bag of chips and a pop, "So, what're we playing? Knock? Poker? Euchre? Dai Hin Min?"
Ces sat on a pillow as she opened her pop, "Those all sound fun, but let's start with the easiest first."
"Poker it is, then," Kanu shuffled one last time and dealt the cards. Kireau groaned and Kanu grinned evilly.
"You know I stink at Poker," Kireau rolled over on the pillow.
"There ain't no way you can stink at Poker! It's all about luck!" Saori said, looking at her cards.
Kanu looked very serious, "Trust me. It's possible."
***
Kireau ended up winning seven-out-of-fifteen rounds of Poker, which was more than any one of them. Ishida had turned in early-- well, earlier than the girls-- and Saori and Kireau had fallen asleep where they were on the floor. Kanu went into the bathroom and Ces took her spot on the couch.
"Three-out-of-fifteen, isn't too bad, is it?" Ces asked, referring to her score on the Poker game. Rei chuckled, "Nope, considering there were five of us and I only won once."
"Yeah, and you pulled the greatest move there is. Royal Flush, all the way!" Ces snapped her finger, making her bracelets jingle. Rei smiled and asked, "So, wind Miko?"
Ces nodded, "Yeah. Wind Miko..."
"Did you watch the last round?"
"Yeah, did you see that Wind-boy? Wooh!" Ces looked towards the window.
"Yeah, Jin. But what about the Ice-guy? Poor thing, that last guy hit him a good one," Rei lowered her eyebrows in concern.
"I think their names were Touya and Risho. Risho being the jerk," Kanu came back in. She sat down on the windowseat and looked out as Rei asked, "What about you, Kanu? Any stories behind your powers?"
Kanu took a breath, "Nope. Nothing really." Ces and Rei exchanged a glance, but Ces said, "There is a story behind Saori though."
"Oh?"
"Yeah. She doesn't remember much about being little, but she did say she was abused. She ended up running away from the tribe and got rescued by a human lady. When the lady died, she found herself a fugitive and that's where I came in."
Kanu yawned, "Interesting stuff. How come she never talks about it?"
"She doesn't like to," Ces answered.
"I don't blame her," Rei said. "I had somewhat similar experiences...."
Ces looked over, "Really?"
"Yeah, but we'll save that for some other time," Rei yawned also. She stretched a little before asking, "You guys don't mind if I sleep here, tonight, do ya?"
Kanu had laid her head on her knees and answered, "There's no problem. We're all falling asleep anyways."
Rei found a comfy spot on the couch and said, "Alright. Thanks. Goodnight."
***
They didn't wake up till after 11, and they awoke to the sounds of cheering. Ces seemed to have been awake for a few minutes before the rest of them opened their eyes.
"Owwwwww...." Saori groaned, turning her head. "Someone remind me not to fall asleep like that again."
"Yeah, same here," Kanu said, trying to stretch her back. Rei leaned forward and stretched a little like a cat and as she was reaching for her feet, had a thought, "You guys didn't see Chiba come in here, did you?"
The other girls shook their head, and Rei groaned, "He always manages to run off without me noticing."
"How much trouble could a komi get into?" Kireau asked, still laying on the floor with her eyes closed.
"It's a kinena," Rei said as she tried to stand up and turned kinena. "And, you're asking the wrong person. I seem to get into enough trouble myself, I'm almost afraid to think what Chiba could do."
Saori looked over to Kireau, wincing as she did, "Why didn't you call it a 'scat'?"
"Do you know what a scat is?"
Ces stood up, "Okay, let's not get into this conversation before breakfast."
Rei giggled as she opened the door. Standing in front of it, looking back at the girls, she asked, "You guys want me to get breakfast todayyeee--hey!"
Rei turned quickly to hit someone when she felt her butt being grabbed. Her hand went straight over Jin's head as he ducked. Grinning wickedly he turned and walked down the hall with his arms behind his head. The blue-haired Ice boy briskly walked to the door with an ashamed look on his face.
"Sorry about Jin... He's a bit unpredictable," Touya bowed and ran off after the taller Shinobi. Rei looked down the hall after them and then back at the girls. The Akakihana girls were already laughing at her, and Rei looked back down the hall as she shook her head. She noticed Chiba's head poking out of Jin's mass of red hair.
"Oh, hey!" Rei ran after them. They turned and looked at her. She caught up and caught her breath a little before pointing to Jin's head, "You have my pet."
He looked surprised and pulled Chiba out of his hair. "This thing? I found 'im strollin' near the beach last night. Didn't see 'nyone near by, so I flew down and picked 'im up."
Rei looked at the kinena and asked, "Chiba?"
Instantly, its ears perked up and he jumped from Jin's hands onto Rei's shoulder. Jin crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Well, that's good. Atleast he has an owner."
He turned and scratched his face as he walked down the hall, "Though I wouldn't have minded keepin' 'im. He was a funny little thing."
Rei watched Jin walk down the hall, but Touya kept his eyes on her. She turned back to him and he blushed. "Haven't I seen you before?"
Rei shrugged, "Maybe. I walk around a lot."
He shook his head, "No... I've got a feeling you were on a team, though I don't think I fought you."
"Oh, the Urameshi team. I'm a... trainer," Rei said. Touya whispered, "Oh, that's where," to himself and nodded. "How's Kurama?"
"He's doing okay, I think. He's a quick healer," Rei twisted the truth a little. .oO{But only a little,} she thought to herself. They had started walking down the hall and were next to Jin before Rei realized it. He was waiting for the elevator to come up when his stomach growled.
"Argg..." he held his stomach. "I need food. And it won't commmmmeeee!!! It takes tooooooo loooonnngg!!" Jin was talking about the elevator, almost ready to curse at it in Irish, when the doors opened.
"Jin, could you possibly be any louder?" Touya asked as they stepped into it.
"Ah, shut yer puss. I could though, wanna see?" Jin teased.
Chiba crawled from Rei's shoulder to Jin's and she asked, "Woah, what do you mean 'puss'?"
Jin looked down at her and noticed her raised eyebrow and slightly annoyed look. He blushed and put up his hands, "'T ain't what you think! It's face! Shut your face! That's what I said."
"Ohhh..." Rei said and instantly lost her annoyed expression. Jin breathed a sigh of relief and mumbled, "Won't usin' that word 'round her," just as the doors opened. They stepped out and saw Yusuke following the Masked Fighter out the lobby doors.
"Hmm... wonder what that was about?" Jin asked no one in particular and set his arms behind his head again. Touya and Rei just shrugged and Rei waved to them, "Nice talking to you two, and thanks for finding Chiba."
Jin and Touya exchanged glances and asked, "Wanna eat with us? We're goin' to the cafeteria."
Rei thought for a moment before shrugging and nodding. They walked to the cafeteria-- which was filled with hungry demons-- and stood in the doorway.
"Well, this is just nice," Jin said, arms akimbo and frowning. He walked into the throng and started shouting, "Move it! I need food!"
Touya and Rei followed close behind, but a few demons looked at him and one asked, "Hey, aren't you that weak Shinobi that got beat by that human kid?"
Jin's mouth dropped and he sputtered, "Weak?!"
The demon looked him over, "Yeah. And ugly."
His mouth dropped even lower. The demon pushed him and said, "Get at the back of the line."
Jin was pushed against Rei and Touya, dejected, but Rei walked up to the demon.
"Hey, maybe we were cutting, but that wasn't called for," she said.
"Ah, shut up, you human bitch," the demon's friend pushed her and she lost her balance, only to get caught by a blue haired man. He was wearing a traditional, white, Japanese outfit and had a sword at his side. Standing next to him was an old man and a few other companions.
"Watch it," he said and practically threw her to the side. Jin and Touya managed to catch her, and Rei hopped back up to get a piece of the blue haired guy.
"Don't even try it," Touya whispered. "That's the Uraotogi team. They made it to the semi-finals."
"I don't give a shit," Rei tried to struggle free.
"You should. That's Shishiwakamaru," Jin said, barely stumbling over the name.
Rei stopped struggling and looked to her right, up at Jin's face. "And?"
"He'll eat you alive."
"Not to mention, if you hit him, all the female demons would be after you for 'spoiling his bishie face'," Touya said, with a small eyeroll.
They all looked back at the line and noticed the Uraotogi team at the head of it. .oO{I wonder how Shizuru manages to make that work,} Rei thought, remembering when Shizuru cleared a path for Yukina to see the screen. Jin's stomach growled and he let go of Rei's arm to hold his stomach.
"Ooooohhhh, must... have... foooood... sooonnn," he groaned. Touya looked around the cafeteria and said, "Sorry, but I don't think you'll get any within an hour."
Jin groaned louder and Rei said, "We'll have to survive on chips and pop, then."
"Whatever'll keep me alive," Jin didn't argue. Touya had a look of distaste and Rei asked, "Is that alright?"
"I guess. But that human stuff tastes funny," he stuck out his tongue. Rei giggled and shrugged, "Can't help ya there. I like them."
Jin grabbed her shoulder and turned her back towards the door. "Let's go. I'm about ready to die."
