I swear these chapters are so freaking long! And I keep forgetting my disclaimers! I suppose I'll continue doing them every other chapter. Props to Nissi for the Jell-O idea!

Chapter Four

When we last left our hero's, Yusuke had just found Nissi in Kurama's room, Olivia was outside burying a cockroach doll, and Vanessa, Meagan, and Botan were gossiping in a room. Here's a bit of detail for what happened next.

Oh no, Yusuke found me! And at such an opportune moment too, what with me sitting here blushing just because Kurama put a bandage on my shoulder! Pathetic! Nissi jumps from her spot on the bed and dashes out of the room with such speed that Yusuke must pause for a moment to regain his sanity. Nissi keeps running, not really knowing or caring where she will end up. She jumps, for no particular reason, and stops, her eyes closed. When she opens them, she is on the roof.

"OH NO! SOMEBODY GET ME DOWN!" She wails, clutching the ends of her hair in terror. "This must be one of my powers and it's cool but...I'm so scared!"

"Nissi?"

Nissi looks down to see a dirt covered Olivia, a shoulder slung over her left shoulder. Her pants are stained with brown and green and her hair is mussed and matted. But her hands are the worst. Olivia's hands are covered in so much dirt that she looks darker than she really is. Her nails are not visible, and Nissi can't help but think that no amount of soap and water will ever get her back to normal. Lost in her thoughts, Nissi doesn't see Olivia float up on a hazy cloud of black smoke.

"Oh my gosh how did you get here?"

"I rode a cloud. One of my new powers! " Olivia laughs, materializing her cloud again. "Hop on! We need to go get Vanessa and Meagan."

Cautiously, Nissi steps on the cloud as if it will break under her weight. But when she finds it to be quite sturdy, she hops on and prepares for a fun ride. Olivia maneuvers the cloud around the house windows until they see Botan's blue hair flash. When close enough, Nissi reaches out and pulls open the window, beckoning for Vanessa and Meagan to get on.

"This is so cool!" Vanessa shouts.

"Shhh!" Meagan clamps her hand over Vanessa's big mouth. "Yusuke is still looking for us, remember?"

The two ease out of the window and onto the cloud. As Olivia prepares to fly away, Botan calls them back. "Here, take a pair of clothes and...about two-hundred dollars and go have fun!"

"Two-hundred dollars? No, Botan we couldn't--"

"Please take it. It's my money that I've collected over the years, but I don't need anything so I'm giving it to you! Bring something good home."

The Destinies open their mouths to protest further, but a rattling at the door stops them.

Botan advises, "There's a small rest house not too far from here. Change their, and then walk to the city and go crazy! We won't be here when you get back; we have to make a trip to Spirit World to check in with Koenma. But we'll be back around four, okay?"

"OK!" The Destinies fly off, careful not to fly too high, just as Yusuke breaks down Botan's door.

Behind them they can hear the shouts as Botan scolds Yusuke for being so violent over such a small prank. Yusuke's loud voice rings in their ears as they fly towards the rest house so Olivia can change. When she comes out of the bathroom, a look of utmost disgust is plastered on her face.

"Pink. I hate pink."

Indeed it was pink. The outfit picked out is as follows: a bubblegum pink shirt with black pants with pink lines down the side, pink socks with white hearts, and God forbid this word ever describe shoes again, cute light pink shoes with white laces. Meagan bursts out laughing and soon the rest of the Destinies are too. Olivia stands in front of them, crossing her arms, until she has had enough at which time she whacks them all.

"Sorry..." they gasp, massaging their heads."Just...so...funny!"
"Imagine if Hiei could see you now!" Nissi laughs.

"What's that supposed to mean, miss I'm-going-to-blush-every-time-Kurama-comes-near?"

"How do you know about that?"

"Hello! I can read minds--you know, my powers?"

"..."

"Um...can we get back to shopping now?" Vanessa prods her friends for attention.

"Yes! I propose we buy a whole bunch of Jell-O and incorporate it into the mansions water system so when anyone turns on a faucet, they will get Jell-O!" Nissi cackles madly, forgetting the Kurama comment Olivia just made.

"Brilliant!" Olivia compliments, beaming.

Meagan drags them all away, "Let's shop!"

At precisely 1:00 pm, the Destinies arrive home from their long day of shopping. They emptied nearly every shop in the city of their clear Jell-O, so that it would look like water the first moment it was seen. Now with only three hours to make the Jell-O and find the correct way to stop the water flowing and make the Jell-O flow, the Destinies set to work. Olivia sets about to ripping open every packet of Jell-O and beginning the preparation line. She pours it into several bowls, then passing those bowls onto Meagan, who does her thing then passes it to Nissi, who then sets it to cool. ---a/n: I really have no idea how Jell-O is made; I can't cook to save my life! n.n ---

Meanwhile, Vanessa sits and racks her brain for the perfect way to get the Jell-O into the system. It comes to her after about an hour, and so she sets off to work on that part of the plan. At about 3:30, when all the Jell-O is cooled, Meagan and Nissi drag it out to Vanessa, who works her magic ---a/n: sorry it's me again, but I'm sure there's really no way to make this plan work but as this is a story I'm going to make it work so please bear with me!--- and soon Jell-O is running through every part of the house--the toilet, the bathtub, the sink, etc. The Destinies smile at their prank, but know it will not last long for soon they will run out of Jell-O to feed through the pipes and then will have to convert back to water.

Olivia dumps the last portion not used for the pipes into the small pool in the back yard. It is not too big, so therefore she was able to fill the pool to about the right setting, and then jump in. "Come on in guys, the water's great!"

From the distance come the other Destinies, preparing to jump into the pool of Jell-O. They had managed to dive down to the bottom, eating bits of the Jell-O along the way, and come back up again before Yusuke and Co. arrived. Yusuke noticed them first, then dragged the rest of his team down to see them. The look on his face was that of genuine surprise.

"Didn't know you guys like to swim. Mind if we join you?"

The Destinies laugh, "Not at all!"

Yusuke and Kuwabara jump in first, ripping off their shirts as not to get them wet. Botan is next, dropping her oar at the edge. Hiei, with a little shove from Kurama, also joins in, dropping his cloak off first, and Kurama jumps in last, leaving all articles of clothing on, much to Nissi's disappointment. ---a/n: has anyone else noticed the shirt thing with Kurama?--- They surface at the same time, giving the Destinies a very weird look.

"Is this...Jell-O?" Kuwabara pulls up a handful and licks it, devouring it whole when he finds he likes the taste.

"Uh-huh!" The Destinies chorus, slapping each other high fives.

"I need a shower..." Botan mumbled, jumping out as fast as humanly, or death reaperly, possible. The others soon followed suit.

"Enjoy your showers!" Vanessa shouts.

"We will!" Kurama replies.

"You won't," the Destinies whisper.

"WHAT THE HECK DID YOU GUYS DO!" Hiei yells, as he and the rest of the gang figure out that their house is overrun with Jell-O.

"Sugoi...you can really yell," Meagan rubs her ears.

"Don't worry Hiei-kun, it will go away soon," Olivia pats him on the head.

"Yes, you will have your normal water soon, Hiei-kun," Nissi pats his head too, grinning.

"But until then, you guys will have to smell like strawberry Jell-O," Vanessa says.

Olivia yawns, tired out from a hard day's work, "I'm off to bed. Ja ne!"

She climbs the stairs to the room she shares with her friends but stops at the door, her attention turning to the attic door. She had only been up there once, with the rest of the gang, but wanted to visit it alone. The stairs are dank and musty, covered with ancient cobwebs. But the attic itself is very neat. The floors are polished, the windows streak-free, and it seems like the dust bunnies just refuse to visit this place. The windowsill is large enough to lie on, and that is precisely what Olivia did. Before drifting off to sleep, she tried contacting Nissi through telepathy. It worked.

Nissi?

Oh my gosh who said that?

Relax...it's just me. Hey, I'm up in the attic so don't worry, okay?

Okay. Goodnight and we'll see you in the morning.

You should try sleeping up here by yourself sometime. It's so...peaceful.

The connection faded as Olivia fell asleep, in which she would remain for some time.

Downstairs

"Olivia is up in the attic asleep, and she doesn't want us to worry. In fact, I propose we all sleep in different places tonight. Well, at least us Destinies."

"Why not?" Meagan's face brightens.

"Well...we do have a basement. It's very clean," Botan considers.

"Mine!" Vanessa claims, running down there. "Night!"

"And there's a greenhouse out back..."

"Good night and I'll see you later!" Nissi runs out before Botan's sentence is finished.

"What about me?" Meagan queries.

"There is a room next to mine. Genkai said she boarded it up, but then reopened it for storage. It's still--"

"I know, I know. Pretty clean. I'll take it. Show the way, Botan! G'night boys!"

Meagan drags Botan out of the room impatiently. She leads the way to the secret storage rooms and points out where the blankets and pillows are held. In their own rooms, the Destinies feel very content. Nissi, out in the greenhouse, falls asleep to the strong scent of roses, Vanessa to the sound of Jell-O running through the pipes and the satisfaction of a plan well executed, Meagan to the shifting winds that flew through the small holes in the wall, and Olivia; already asleep; had fallen so to the slight warmth the moon gave as it hung in the sky.

Important Notice:

The world will soon be drowned in sugar! Lol, that was weird. Nissi says that I should wait a while before posting the next chapter because then I get more reviews, but I just had to post Chapters 4 and 5 today. n.n But alas, readers my next chapters will be updated much more slowly because these first five chapters were kind of planned in one weekend at a very fancy hotel when we had nothing to do after we had watched all the second season of Inuyasha and Nissi's parents informed us that we would be staying another day. T.T But I promise I'll update as quickly as I can! Ja ne! ---Calismo---
