An: Thanks for reviewing when you guys did. For a moment I was worried I had alienated my reviewers. (Yawns) sorry I had a terrible night's sleep on Saturday night. ( if you call being up all night and not falling asleep until 5:30 in the morning a crappie night sleep then yeah.) and then waking up four hours later due to my younger sister wanting to check on me but I went to bed early so …Any how now that I received your reviews I could sleep in peace. Oh and I am doing swimming lessons and I am now at level TEN!!!!!!! Yay! Oh and a friend corrected me on the name of Alex's Muse Kade It is really spelled Kaede.
Dark Inu Fan: All right I'll remove the I'll remove the poll results until the final bonus feature chapter and surprise every one. But hey thanks for the complements. Thanks for participating.
Bradybunch4529: Thanks for the compliments and the reason why Muriel feels like she has the need to be popular is because she would feel insecure other wise and she likes to see other people suffer. A lot. Yeah the gang definitely dislikes bullies. Thanks for participating in the polls.
kuramalover21: You love my fic? Aw you comment's flatter me so much. Thank you.
Wolf-black-flame: Do don't like Muriel? GOOD! Muriel was based off of a bunch of girls who made my early years hell on earth in elementary or middle school even if we didn't go to the same middle school the scarred me so bad I never made any attempts to make any friends. My friends in high school found me eating lunch in a dusty corner and we became friends very quickly.
poltergeist report 101: Okay thanks for participating in my poll and I'm glad to see you like flying… As for your what you said earlier I have on thing to say… Holy Shit! Are you Physic? You were thinking the same thing I was thinking. Yes I didn't make any efforts to change any of the writing but all that extra stuff will become part of some of the things that will happen later in the fic.
Baka Hanyou Rahvin: Hey Thanks for Reviewing my Fic! I can see who your favorite male character is. You seem to have a lot in common with him. I've got a friend like you too. Thanks for your compliments. And you've got a great fic going on Keep up the great work.
For all of you reviewers this is the chapter Yukina finds her long lost brother… Oh and I noticed that every thing in Italics means that it is a flash back.
Chapter 22
Yukina's long lost Brother.
(Not that we already knew. Poor Hiei)
The chibi sat on her textbook it was twelve inches tall and looked like a miniature vision of Sharivani. It smiled and looked up at its creator.
"Chibi me happy! You're my new best friend!" it cheered.
"I am?" Shairvani asked. Last time she made one it only lived for two days and it killed it self by jumping in to a fish tank for a swim and it turns out that the tank was filled with hungry killer goldfish. No matter how much common sense she would try they didn't live for very long. One once had a favorite hoppy of being flushed down the toilet.
"HUG!!!" it shouted as the chibi gave Sharivani a tight hug. All of Shairvani's chibis had the same personality. But you had to admit they were absolutely adorable, annoying at times, but adorable.
"Puu." The spirit beast flapped his ears to look at the new little creature.
Seeing a new friend the chibi smiled at the spirit beast and ran to poor Puu who had no idea what to do. The chibi was so happy it tackled the poor spirit beast only to have been saved by Shairvani.
"Shairvani it's time for me to go to work and you to go to your friend's house for the rest of the school day." Uma called wearing the uniform for her part-time job at the theater.
"Okay mom." Shairvani had grabbed the chibi by the torso and now dropped it in to her pocket and tried to hide it from her mother. Uma was not supposed to know about the chibis.
"Chibi me don't like the dark." Came the muffled protest.
"Tough, just be quiet and I will let you out in a minute." Shairvani whispered back.
"Okay! Chibi me happy to have a friend like you!"
"Shairvani did you say something?" Uma asked.
"Yeah... I'll miss you and I'm happy to have a mother like you."
"Oh That's sweet. Well let's get into the car." Uma lead her youngest to the car thinking 'She made another one of those chibis didn't she. Oh well at least that is the least she can make and I need to encourage her. She has the potential, just not the ingredients required to make one survive for more than two days. However the ingredients are inaccessible to her for now and she needs to practice on these things before she makes them live as an adult goddess. Most things as smart as a piece of paper often don't live for very long.'
Driving down Interstate 178 Shirzuru had taken the wheel of the yellow Volkswagen Beetle. Her fingers tapped to the beat of the radio while Genkai, Botan and Yukina were fast asleep.
Shirzuru's eyes darted toward the gas meter only to find that the meter was leaning on E. She sighed and noticed a motor service sign that mentioned a petrol station in a town called Mid-trench.
She reached for the radio and then found a song of interest that said:
"when I'm walking in a crowd in a faceless town, I need a touch of a friend. In the county side, I wonder far and wide, the isolation gets me again. I don't know were to goooo when I feel like crying, oh my."
Yukina opened her eyes and sat up.
"It's time to open myself, do something new. I wanna stop, and grow up a bit."
At the moment were the radio sang "I wanna stop" Genkai opened her eyes and stretched.
" Then suddenly my power and confidence starts swelling up, magically erupt. And it's because of the kindness that I feel from people that I hardly even know."
"How long have I been asleep?" Botan asked. Shirzuru shrugged.
"Thank you for waking me up!" the radio ended.
" Shirzuru, why are we stopping?" Botan asked again.
"We're stopping because were out of gas." Shirzuru at that moment as she pulled in to a gas station.
"Oh."
"That was Smile Bomb, by-" at that moment the radio wasn't able to say who the artist was because Shirzuru pressed a button and the radio was off.
Then she rolled down the window to talk to a gas station employee when all four of them felt the same presence, three presences to be exact. One was of warmth, protection, and maternal care, the second was of splashing sea water, and the final was alien that not even Genkai could identify. But all three of the presence was similar to Donamarine's energy. That meant they were in the right place.
"Um Excuse me sir, but may we borrow a phone book?"
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Kurama rose his voice to Yusuke and Kuwabara who were wrestling each other rather roughly. "You are wrestling too close to the rosebush!"
This was one of Domie's wrestling practices on Medea's front lawn before Domie had to go to her real one. She paused for a moment, leaving Hiei to struggle out of a headlock, before looking at the distance between the two boys before shaking her head.
"Kurama, that is five inches… not five feet!" Domie shouted.
Domie, Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara were wrestling, Kurama was the referee
Domie already had her "conversation" with Prop on Rangnorock. (Please note Ragnorock jargon does not have good grammar.)
Kairos Skyeyes: prop have problem
Propagondi: what kai?
Kairos Skyeyes: well m is pretend related to two single boys who all these girls are hitting on they don't want hit on…
Propagondi: oh uh well what 22?
Kairos Skyeyes: 4
Propagondi: exactly.
Kairos Skyeyes: what u mean?
Propagondi: well girls think they have girls they leave alone
"Hey guys!" Domie shouted as she turned her head from the computer.
"What, Domie?" Keiko asked because she was the closest.
"Prop has a solution."
"Really?" Kurama this time spoke up.
"Yeah, He thinks the best way is to have you guys to pretend to already have girlfriends. And the best way is to have local girls to pretend to be your girl friends." Domie smiled.
"Well how exactly are we going to do that?" Kuwabara asked. "Take the Fox and the shrimp in to a random dating service?"
"Wait just a sec." Domie turned back to typing.
Kairos Skyeyes: mean us?
Propagondi: yes
Kairos Skyeyes: uh girls who r available r me and al do you mind if i "cheat" on u? m is pretend 2 be related c not good relationship
Propagondi: not at all pretend breakup
Kairos Skyeyes: need story
Propagondi: uh…
Kairos Skyeyes: how bout u officially move spain
Propagondi: uh okay
Kairos Skyeyes: don't speak word spanish
Propagondi: sound good got to go
So Domie had permission to pretend to be Hiei's girl friend while Alex was pretending to be Kurama's.
Alex was busy on the Internet in Medea's Kitchen while talking to Jeffery and her two muses. Blackie was having another conversation with Puu, this time it was on favorite foods. "For me I like Tofu personally but that is because that was the first thing I ate ever since I was hatched and I love tofu."
"Puu Puu, Puu, Puu."
"Really? I never knew that… I'll have to try Keiko's cooking sometime later… Grandma Uma's tofu soup and Grandpa Peter's lemon tofu, now that is stuff to brag about!"
Medea, Chandra, and Keiko sat at the kitchen table working on homework. Shairvani was trying to teach her Chibi the basics of moving.
"La la la la." The chibi had already mastered skipping and was practicing the movement until… WACK! Chibi me skipped right in to the wall at full speed.
"Ugh, Chibi you are not supposed to run in to a wall you are supposed to turn when you get to a wall." Shairvani pressed her hand on her forehead and shook her head. "We've spent the last ten minutes trying to teach you how to turn and you did well a few minutes ago."
"Pain feels good. Chibi Me Happy."
"NO pain is bad, pain is not good."
The chibi sat up, its eyes were out of focus and crossed.
"Chibi Me see purple stars…"
"Maybe we should take a break."
"… I think I wanna touch them… woo ooh."
"A looooong break." Shairvani muttered developing a big sweat drop as the chibi fell from a sitting position to a drunken fallen position.
Then all of a sudden the sounds of tire wheels were moving down the street. Chandra, Hiei, Kurama, Blackie, and Puu heard the wheels first. Then Shairvani, Medea, Alex, Kuwabara, Yusuke, and Keiko then also felt a set of familiar auras.
"Who are these people coming down the street?" Medea asked.
"I know those people." Keiko smiled.
"Who are they?"
"My friends Genkai, Shirzuru, Botan, and Yukina!" Keiko instantly exited the kitchen.
Medea, Chandra, Alex, and Shairvani got up and followed.
A yellow slug bug pulled up in to the drive way with Domie holding poor Hiei in a wrestler's hold. Yusuke and Kuwabara just stood their smiling slightly. Keiko and the indoor girls left the freshly repaired front door and Keiko smiled at her friends. Her new senses were the first things to betray them.
She instantly noticed the bonds between the tentai and the girls and elderly woman. She was so focused on her other senses that she didn't hear Alex whisper something.
Shirzuru and Kuwabara shared a bond just like the one between Medea and Shairvani, the feel of petting a soft mammal mixed with the irritation of scratching on a chalk board. But the chaotic sense didn't stop there; the same bond was between Hiei and Yukina only it was half as strong. In her shock, Keiko lost control of her mouth and thoughts.
"Holy shit… Yukina, I never knew Hiei was your brother!"
In the next moment was a mix of reactions. Hiei gave a loud shout of pain, as Domie's arms squeezed hard out of reflex, his own arms, pulling them back in an angle that was never meant to be bent that way. Any harder and Domie might have dislocated his shoulders.
Shairvani was in the middle of a step then she lost her balance and fell on to her side in shock.
Her elder sister's eyes traveled to Yukina and Hiei resting on the fire youkai. She briefly nodded at the confirmed fact that they were indeed brother and sister, or at least half brother and sister.
"You mean you never told your own sister!" The Demigoddess of Chaos shouted.
Chandra just stood there with her eyes wide and her mouth hung open. Alex just turned to her muses with a happy look on her face.
"See you two, I told you that they were Siblings. I told you Mr. Dumplings I wasn't crazy. Yes Kaede I was right." Alex whispered to her muses excitedly.
Botan, Yusuke, and Kurama did an anime fall while Kuwabara looked quickly from Hiei and Yukina and said "the Shrimp? Yukina? Why didn't I figure it out sooner?" His older sister and Yusuke's mentor just developed sweatdrops.
Yes a lot can happen in a moment, don't you think?
Once everyone had gotten over their shock, Domie released Hiei. He collapsed on to the ground and once he sat up his head was in range.
"You idiot! You never told her you were her brother?!" Domie roared as she bobbed the Jagonshi on the head. "Now I'm sure you did that for her protection from your enemies! But how long would ignorance protect her, when she could have been lulled in to a trap?!" When you're being bobbed on the head by the only girl on the wrestling team, not once but twice you would be in a hell of a lot of pain too.
Hiei had to hold on to his self restraint to keep him self from killing the girl but also because his arms were nearly dislocated and in no condition to reach for his sword.
Later that evening at about eight a clock Domie finished loading her plates in the dishwasher in her own tan kitchen. The tiles were a light tan with dark brown designs that resembled a complex weave of lines in the shape of a flower, fairy wing, and even a dagger in some corner. The title on the counter was a dark brown with the clutter of manga books, mail, a phone, and hidden dog biscuits her golden retriever would beg for sometimes. The counter had a part of it removed from the wall and act as a barrier for half of the room and ending in the middle of the room, half way between the first wall and the wall parallel to it. One the other side of the two foot wide counter was an oak table with five chairs all around it. On the side of the table was a window about five feet wide and four feet tall.
Domie looked at the clock it was exactly 7:55 pm, another five minutes until Muriel called. She didn't want her mother, father, brother, or older sister to answer the phone incase it was Muriel called, it would ruin the surprise and there would be no way they could figure out what Muriel wanted. Domie took a chair by the table and waited for the wireless phone to ring.
As she waited, Domie accessed her memories for the one made this afternoon.
Hiei sat on a chair with two ice packs on his shoulder and his Koormie sister healed his shoulders. He would glare at any one who looked at him strange.
"You know, I can't believe it was so surprising, I mean there is a family resemblance. " Medea said.
The fire demon's eyes widened.
"Yeah red eyes, same height…" Shairvani began.
"Uh height doesn't all ways mean that someone's related, just look at me and my brother." Domie remarked. "But they do have the same face shape."
Same eyes, height, and face shape? It was a wonder about how they couldn't figure this out sooner. But then again none of them could detect siblings either.
"There Onii-san, are you feeling better?" Yukina said removing her hand from his shoulders.
"Hn"—
The phone rang snapping Domie out of her memory state. The phone was in reach and was in her hand before it could ring again.
"Hello?"
" Hi Medea." It was Muriel one the other line. (an: I decided to underline what Muriel says on the other line.)
"Uh Medea isn't here. But you called my house." Domie answered.
"But why would Medea leave her cell phone at your house?"
"Medea doesn't have a cell phone."
"But why not, I mean anybody who is anybody has a cell phone?"
" Well Medea's parents won't let her have one because they are paranoid and over protective. If you were Medea's friend you would remember that." Domie retorted.
"Well… Medea's mom didn't seem paranoid when she was in fourth grade." Muriel lied over the phone. Domie knew she just lied but didn't say anything. Unlike Muriel, Domie and Medea never went far back, But their pasts were so similar that it was scary that they didn't meet. Chandra's past was just like theirs only if possible it was a little worse.
" Huh, did you come over to Medea's house?" Domie asked.
"Yes we were best friends. She even gave a friendship bracelet"
'Riiiight.' Domie thought.
"She even gave one to the boy she had a crush on, then I laughed at her because girls aren't supposed to give boys friend ship bracelets, you know what I mean?"
"Yeah but what does that have to do with anything?" Domie inquired. "I honestly don't see what's wrong with giving a boy a friendship bracelet here."
"Well, I was very immature in those days and didn't know better. So what are you doing this week?"
"Going to school, and Wednesday I'm going on a five k with my boyfriend." Domie said. If she were to begin her pose with Hiei she might as well start now.
"The one who lives in Seattle?"
"No, he moved to Spain and we broke up that way. My new boyfriend is Hiei."
"WHOA!!!!!!!! Medea's cousin? He's the tall red head with the long hair right?" Muriel's voice sounded hopeful with that last sentence as if she was expecting Domie to say no.
"No, he's the short one."
"Aw man! You are sooo lucky. Do you know how many girls would kill to be in you spot at this moment?" Muriel shouted causing Domie to remove the receiver about a foot away from her ear.
"No."
"What about Medea's other cousin Kurama?"
"Alex is dating him."
"Aw, lucky girls. Did Medea introduce you guys to them?"
"Yes."
"So you guys are dating on Wednesday, right?"
"I guess."
"Would you mind if I come along?"
"No not at all. Look Muriel it's time for me to hang up the phone."
"Aw, can't we talk longer?"
"Sorry but I need to get off the phone Bye."
Domie hung up without Muriel saying another word. Then she looked at the clock. It was eight thirty and homework couldn't do it self.
An: Okay I have Monday done in my fic. Next Chapter Tuesday. (Warning Tuesday has more plot points than Monday but not until later in the day. Coughfullmooncough.
I have a problem. The semester, that gave me access to computers for writing, is coming to a close and now the hard classes come. Sigh, this means that I'm going to have post less often or something. So would you like for me to post the chapters at the same length only after a longer waiting period or post weekly with smaller chapters?
So here are the two polls
1.do you want me to:
A.Post weekly with smaller chapters?
B.Longer waiting period for a same length chapter or longer chapter?
It's all up to you.
2. Please come up with ways to torture Muriel because I've been suffering with writer's block and I think it would be a lot of fun to see what you want to do with her. Or do you want to leave her alone and let me and my friends come up with something. It's all up to you.
Bye for now!
