Whee! Calismo here…yes, posting chapters six and seven. Eh, this is going to be short but enjoy!
Chapter Six
"This girl…is the half-demon that's been missing from Makai since she broke out of Makai prison."
"W-what do you mean? Prison? Guys, who is he and why'd he just call me a half-demon?" Malia stutters, moving closer to her friends and away from Kurama.
"Kurama I don't understand," Nissi murmurs, glancing at him. "I know that we are demons and Meagan and Vanessa are irregular humans but Malia too?"
"You five are all connected. Supposedly it was fated that you five come together."
"I still don't understand…"
"Do you remember the prophecies Koenma gave us? Well, after taking a closer look—there were five mentioned, not four."
Olivia sits Malia, who looks faint, down onto the couch and hurries off to get a drink of water.
"For now," Kurama explains, "I want you to forget about this. Have some fun for a while. Besides—we have company coming over tonight.
"Um…company?" Vanessa questions. Olivia comes in with her glass of water, looking lost and confused.
"What do you mean, "Company?"" Meagan eyes Kurama suspiciously.
Kurama gives the Destinies please note that when I say Destinies now, Malia is included an innocent smile that makes them melt in their shoes, but the smile only increases their suspicious that something is going on. Hiei, finished ringing out his cloak, gives a small "Hn" and moves away just as someone comes crashing through the window.
"Whoo-whee, never thought we'd be seeing you guys again, tha' I didn't," a red-head laughs, floating two feet above the ground.
"Jin," a voice comes from the doorway. The Destinies spin around to see a guy with green hair and blue eyes staring at them. "It would have been a lot less expensive for these girls to use the front door."
"Aww Icy, you're no fun!" the one labeled Jin floats over the girls' heads, making them flinch and shriek.
"Don't call me Icy, it's Touya," he turns to look at the girls. "It's nice to meet you. Sorry about him…"
"Whoo, you're a pretty one!" Jin flies up to Olivia, who smiles and sweat-drops.
In his corner Hiei growls, low and dangerously, causing Jin to move on to Nissi. Kurama clears his throwat and Jin sighs as he moves to Meagan. She grins at him.
"Yusuke would kick your butt."
Jin frowns, skipping Vanessa as she shoots him one of her patented death glares. Suddenly Malia finds before her the hyper red-head, smiling and cheerful. And floating.
"Waah! Why is everybody floating?"
"You're a cute one two!" Jin grabs her and pulls her up into the air. She screams.
"PUT ME DOWN!"
Sighing, Meagan pushes Malia out of Jin grasp and as she hits the floor, pushes her up the stairs and to her room. Touya sighs, apologizing to each of the girls as they walk out the door after Meagan. They nod their head in recognition as they pass him.
"Aww, Icy I wasn't doing anything wrong!" Jin pouts.
"Well I wouldn't say that. Flirting with already taken girls constitutes as "wrong" to me!" Yusuke enters the room.
"Hello Urameshi!"
"Jin…get out of the air!" Touya shouts in growing impatience.
Upstairs the four (Olivia, Meagan, Nissi, and Vanessa) try to console the hysterical Malia who is rambling on about clouds and demons and freaky floating boys. Desperate, Vanessa hits her pressure point and she falls into unconsciousness.
"Only for a little while. An hour, give or take," she rubs her temples.
"How are we going to explain this?" Nissi murmurs.
"We'll just have to try again when she wakes up…"
The four sit in silence and listen to the wind lash against the trees outside. Sighing lightly, the four clamber onto Meagan's bed and under the covers, preparing for a relaxing sleep. They drift of knowing that things are going to chance drastically for the second time in their life.
"O-oh…"
Malia, the first to awake, sits up and rubs her head. Outside the moon shines lightly. She checks her watch as she walks out of the room and down the stairs, seeing that the time reads 9:00 p.m.
"Where is everybody?"
"Hello Malia. I see you're well rested."
Kurama lays his hand on her and she spins around and slaps it away. He smiles at her. "Sorry. I see that you don't like to be touched."
"Um, yeah."
"We've made up a room for you, if you'd care to use it."
"I think…I'll stay in Meagan's room with them tonight, if that's okay."
"Of course. Well, have a good nights rest."
"Thank you."
Making her way back up the stairs, Malia pauses to glance at all the pictures assembled on the wall. There are, in places, empty spots with the word "Malia" written on a piece of tape and then plastered onto the wall. They were waiting for her. She smiles. Upon reaching Meagan's bed, she pushes her friends over to make room and climbs in feeling strangely safe after all of the day's episodes. But she would think about that tomorrow.
Hahaha! I am finished! Yes, I was up until two p.m. watching Yu Yu Hakusho with Meagan and Nissi, and now I am typing my chapters while they watch Sazuka and Genkai fight. Sigh. Life can be so wonderful at times.
