Hello. Good-bye. No, no--gomen, gomen. -- b.l.e.r.g. -- ZzZz...Soo tired...TT.TT I can't ever stay awake. I'm gonna make this as long as a chapter as I can. Eheheh...

Chapter Twenty

"Gee, Yusuke. We never thought you'd be so desperate as to use mayonaisse. I'll run out and buy you some real hair gel now. I think you've suffered enough. Come on Hiei--you can come with me."

"Hn. Whatever."

Rolling his eyes, Hiei allows himself to be unceremoniously dragged out of the room by Olivia who has a big smile on her face.

"Come on, Hiei!"

Touya enters the room, decked out in his usual attire. His eyes are blurred--Touya is not a morning person. He yawns widely, not bothering to cover his mouth. Malia shoves her face in his, scaring the wits out of him. Her eyes search him carefully, looking for signs of sickness. Touya blushes furiously, a sad look in his eyes. But it disappears as he gives a big smile.

"Something wrong, Malia?"

"Eh? N-no..."

"If you're sure."

Jin looks at Malia weirdly before she turns, grabs his hand, and drags him out of the room--most likely to train. Kurama stares after them for a while before grabbing his own charge and walking out of the room and into the woods behind their mansion. Nissi glances up at her sensei. The sun shines above them, happily. Nissi bows her head and follows faster, accidently bumping into Kurama's back. He leans back and turns to Nissi.

"Something wrong, Eunice?"

"Y-you used my name!"

"Eh?"

"You called me Eunice, not Nissi. That's the first time you've ever called me Eunice since you learned my real name. Heh. Sorry, I'm being...stupid I guess."

"Oh, no! Not at all."

"Yesterday was so much fun I think I'm just losing it," Nissi yawns.

Kurama cocks his head and stares up into the sky. The sun is shining nicely at the moment but dark clouds loom in the distance and will for sure bring some heavy rain tonight. He sighs. Things have been so confusing around the mansion, what with school and all the attacks. And even though it is Tuesday morning, (a/n: I lost track of what day we were on so let's just pretend, okay?) the girls have no intention of going to school at the moment. Even Nissi agrees that it would be pointless to go until they have properly woken up. And what better way to wake up than a good fight with your sensei?

"Now, Nissi--we're going to try something different today. It seems that almost all of your power is focused towards your legs, is it not? Well I want to see how well you can focus that power into one or two exact points."
"Kurama..." Nissi questions. "Why is it that my power is focused towards my legs?"

"It seems that over the years you have built up a tremendous amount of strength in your legs that you never really...let loose. So now we are going to try honing all of that energy. Ready?"

"Ready!"

"I want you...to try to harness your power in the bottom of your feet and go climb up a wall."

"EH? Well aren't you going to help me?"

"I cannot."

"Why?" Nissi tugs his sleeves.

"I cannot help you with something I have no idea how to do. I merely want to see if you yourself can do it. Now come on--you'll be late for school."

Kuwabara stands at the stove with Yukina, helping her cook. As it stands, Yukina remains the best cook in the house--no one rivals her. Today's breakfast features sunnyside up eggs, bacon, toast, and a tiny helping of sweet-snow (affectionately called ice-cream by everyone but her) to top it off. Vanessa eats quickly.

"Yukina you make the best breakfast in the world. How long are you staying?" she asks as she deposits her plate in the sink.

"Well I'm not sure, to tell you the truth. I'd like to stay as long as you'll have me but I can see that you're overcrowded already so maybe I'll leave..."

"No!"

This is shouted by Meagan, Yusuke, Vanessa, Malia, and Kuwabara which gives it a much more stunning meaning. Yukina sweatdrops and smiles. These guys...so funny..."Maybe I'll stay longer, then."

"YESSS!"

They pile on top of Yukina, squeezing her to death, when suddenly...

"And what the heck is going on in here?"

The five look up to see Olivia and Hiei standing in the front door with questioning faces. Yusuke ambles up to Olivia, eyes imploring. She hands him a big bottle of gel, "There."

He gives a loud war cry and marches off to his room to apply it properly. Hiei glares at the four who remain piled on Yukina and they instantly back off. Something about his eyes...Yukina, however, fails to notice the evil look and gently shoves himself and Olivia into two empty chairs, setting before them a plate of food.

"Mmm! Yukina you cook so well--you should live with us forever!" Olivia rubs her stomach and floats her plate to the sink where it lands softly. Hiei glances at her from the corner of his eye.

"Do you like it, Hiei?"

Hiei looks forward to see Yukina's smiling face and nods, putting another bite in his mouth. Yukina's smile widens, "I'm so glad."

"Hey, it's time to go. Who's driving?" Meagan instructs.

Malia grabs everyone's bags and tosses them at them unceremoniously. She holds Nissi's bag in her hands as she is still outside training. Since Kurama is the only one who is actually old enough to drive but does not have a car at the moment, it seems that walking is the way to go. They wave to Nissi and she comes running. And with a mournful sigh and their hands full of books, the Destinies head off to school, preparing for another long week.

o.0 Nissi is scaring me. I'm sitting here on the phone listening to her wage war with her siblings. If you were me, you'd think it's very interesting, as I do. Ciao!
