Chapter 18
A/N: Congradulations! It's twins! Ugh, let me explain that, I had a dream a couple of nights ago, that I...got knocked up by Hiei. W had twins, the twins grew up fast, and killed me and Hiei, then everyone else. I was the most "F"ed up dream I've ever had. Appart from the one where I'm pushed off a cliff in 1693 for being a witch, but I died so my powers weren't exposed and that no one in my family was a accused, alothough my fiance, Bane, was killed for being a warlock. Weird, huh?
The morning after the incident, Kurama and Yukina sat by Columbia's bedside, but Columbia said nothing or looked at either one of them.
"Come on Columbia, talk to me, this is your best friend here, why won't you talk to me? What's wrong with you lately?"
"A deep depression and stress, along with a multiple personality disorder and insomnia to boot."
Kurama and Yukina turned around and faced Andros (A/N: Remember him, the ex-adoptive brother, I bet you all thought he was dead.)
"What are you talking about, my sister isn't like that."
"Not yet anyway, something big had to have happened to trigger this. For about four months she'll need medication and to be watched very closely. This is what she'll need."
Andros handed Kurama a piece of paper with all the perscriptions on it.
"The pharmacy has been notified, so just take this and they'll order them to be in by tonight about 8:30 or so. Oh, and ya might want to watch her all times so she doesn't overdose or something much worse."
Before Andros left, he went up to Columbia and kissed her on top of the head, then left.
Kurama and Yukina were left stunned, so underneath that wildchild, there was an even more crazier and scared child deep inside crying out for help.
"I want Hiei here, not you."
Kurama looked up at his sister, who was looking directly at him and Yukina with a very, very pissed off look.
"Bring him here to me now."
They didn't move, so she didn't want to see them.
"Get out, get out, get out, GET OUT!"
They left Columba in that state and figured it would be best to get her meds. as soon as possible.
She knew they were gone when it got eerily quiet. Alone was all she felt at the moment, alone was all she ever felt when she was like this.
Hiei watched her as she looked out the windowwith her head resting on her knees. He had heard her yelling at Kurama and Yukina before he came in, she was definitely his girl 'cause she wanted him by her side, no one else.
He walked up to Columbia and kissed her on top of the head. She moved her head so that she was facing Hiei, her head was still resting on her knees.
"Yusuke, of all people, says hi and wants to know of he can come and see you sometime soon."
Columbia nodded, but never said a word.
"Botan and Koenma disappeared, we have no clue where that went. Kuwabara's been all depressed since, well, you know, it's honestly kinda funny. Keiko, well, she's a controlling psychopath. She wants everything to be perfect for when you come home, since your mom and Patsy aren't there right now."
"Why?"
"Who knows. She just was you to come home."
"I probably won't come home. I'm probably too crazy to step out of this damned hospital."
Hiei got up from his chair and sat on the bed next to Columbia. He put his arm around her and she put her head on his.
"You're leaving with me later tonight."
"What?"
"Tonight, I'll pick you up and we'll go somewhere."
"Seriously?"
Hiei nodded and Columbia latched herself onto him.
"I'll sneak into your house now 'cause I know Kurama and Yukina are at my house. Any requests for stuff you want me to pick up."
"Black clothes, all of them. I want you to go in my closet and do think there's anything dirty in there, but get this little box, it has more money in it than you could ever imagine."
"Consider it done. The dark couple are leavin' town tonight."
"What time?"
"What? Oh, about nine or so."
"8:30."
"Fine, you're so difficult."
Columbia watched from her bed as the best boyfriend in the world walked out of the room.
"Now, I wait."
The rest of the day passed by so slowly that the nurses let Columbia walked around to stop her from being so fidgety.
When she arrived back in her room at 8:20, she grabbed the clothes she had been in when she came to the hospital, put them on, and waited for Hiei to show up.
'Where is he?'
Just at that moment, Hiei walked in and grabbed Columbia's arm.
"Let's go."
They walked out of the room as casually as possible, trying not to draw any attention to themselves. When they finally made it out of the hospital they took off running two blocks to Hiei's, err, Hina's "borrowed" car.
"Now, I know we're both dead if we get caught."
"Keyword in that sentence Red, if. We won't get caught."
"We better not. Oh, stop at the pharmacy first."
"Why?"
"I need to pick up my meds. before Kurama and Yukina get them."
"Druggy."
"You wish."
At the pharmacy, it was a quick in and out, even though they did almost run into Kurama and Yukina, but they got away. When they were finally on the road, a feel of relief fell over them. They were finally free from the "stress" in their lives.
"Hiei, where exactly are we going."
"Well, I kinda bought two airplane tickets for us to go to Los Angeles."
"Nuh-uh, you didn-...you did."
Columbia flung herself at Hiei, causing him to swerve on and off the road. It didn't shock them, it only made them laughter harder than usual.
"Maybe I shouldn't take the meds. unless it's an emergency. They might make me crazy."
"Maybe you should, you're already crazy enough."
Columbia sat back in her seat and continued to laugh.
'I'm actually happy for once, that's a change.'
She smiled at Hiei and drifted off to sleep.
The lives they lived before are now in the past and their future in Los Angeles is to come soon.
Well, that took forever to do. The reason being, yesterday I volunteered to do this "Future Lab" thing so I could get out of all my classes and I didn't get a chance to write except during my break. Plus, I'm having a "fight" with Abby and Mandi 'cause they're mad that I did that thing yesterday, so ya know what, screw them. They could have done it too, but they didn't.
Oh, and to the reviewer who asked if Kurama was in love with his sister before Yukina, causing his jealous outrage, no, he was just playing the overprotective brother. That's why last chapter, Columbia had her own jealous rampage on Kurama, due to his relationship with her best friend Yukina. There's no incest in this story, ugh, now I'll be thinking about that one forever. So, I hope this cleared that question up.
Has anyone seen that new Mentos commercial with the birds that chirping a song. I love that commercial so much, it makes me get up and dance around like an idiot, but it makes people laugh so, oh well. That commercial is so KAWAII, I swear, if you've never seen it you gotta try.
Something weird happened today, I actually understood Geometry, I think I may have given my teacher a heartattack. Lucky me, huh? But that doesn't mean that I'm gonna do my homework or anything 'cause there is no way in hell that I'm even gonna come close to passing that class.
I'm trying to think if anything else happened, oh yeah, my house is really, really haunted. We've had activity for the past couple of nights and I've witnessed it all, last night I was talking to Andi and I thought I heard a marble hit the floor and move around, then someone was running around upstairs and this all happened around 11:30 at night, so it was pretty freaking. It only makes me want a ouija board even more and I also want to do a seance in my house as well. Who knows, maybe Cole is real, oh he's the ghost that I see, he's pretty nice to me, but that could just be an act, who knows.
Well, that's about it for now.
