Woot, woot! Bringing in another friend here. Heh. Ah, watching Jin talk all funny makes you feel...funny. Eh, I'm not explaining right, am I? One to one to one till I'm a tower on my feet holding the five. That was Jin talking, not me. Did you guys know that the person that plays Jin is the person that plays Kyo in Fruits Basket? Along with other characters who are the same but I'm not going to tell you them. Don't have time. Ciao!

Chapter Twenty-two

"Do you have to go?"

The Destinies cling to the boys swiftly, begging with their eyes for them to not go. They pry them off impatiently, needing to go. The Destinies pout, crossing their arms over their chests. Sighing, Hiei creates a portal and the four step through, much to the Destinies displeasure. However, they know better than to follow. Besides, the portal only leads to Spirit World and if they run into Koenma they will surely be restrained.

"Hmph. Well I suppose we should get ready for school," Vanessa murmurs.

"Are you crazy? I'm going back to bed..." Olivia replies unhappily. "Who wants to go to school?"

"I guess..."

Sighing the five move back into house, passing Yukina's room quietly. They don't want to wake her. Separating into their rooms, they flop down on their beds, pull the covers up over their heads, and try to sleep. It is imposible. With a cry of frustration Olivia yanks the covers away and stomps out into the front room, reaching for the phone. Punching in the numbers, Olivia hears it ring and someone picks it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Olivia. I've got a plan and I need your help."

"Whatcha need?"

"Paint. Lots and lots of paint."

"Any particular color?"

"I think you know what I'm planning."

"...I'll be over in an hour."

"Thanks."

DING-DONG! "I'll get it, I'll get it, I'll get it--Kirsten?"

"The Master has arrived!" Kirsten strikes a Jiraiya pose. (a/n: Jiraiya is in Naruto, in case anyone is wondering.)

"Uh..." Vanessa twitches.

From her place on the counter, Olivia swings her chair around, "Come on--cut the fanfare and all that jazz. We've got work to do."

Kirsten, yet another friend, stands in the door with her red hair pulled back and a wagon with lots of paint trailing behind her. She barges past Vanessa and moves off to Olivia who is, at the moment, eating a large bowl of cereal. She smiles as she sees Kirsten ready to work--she's ready herself. Her eyes are snapping with curiousity; partly because she can't wait to start on her idea and partly because she's wondering if she's really going to do this. She is.

"Ready?"

"Yup," Olivia nods, "I just have to fill everyone in. COME HERE YOU GUYS!"

She winces as she realizes that Yukina is still fast asleep, but the ice maiden must be really tired as she does not reply to the ear-shattering scream.

"What's going on?" The Destinies file in, leaning on the table and nodding their hello's to Kirsten. Quickly, Olivia explains to them her plan.

"Basically, since they think we can't handle a mission in which our own friend is being hunted, I want some revenge. So...we're going to paint their rooms...pink!"

o.0 Vanessa and Meagan burst out laughing, slapping high-fives. Malia cracks a grin, and Nissi nods in agreement. Kirsten clears her throat, catching everyone's attention. She nods to the wagon full of paint, telling them that she chose several different kinds because she didn't know what they wanted. Olivia hops off her stool and drags it in, pulling the lids off in the process.

"Hiei most definately gets this hot pink... I suppose Kurama should get the one closest to red, since he's...well, he's Kurama," Olivia concludes.

She lifts her pail up to approve the color for Hiei's and Kurama's room and her action is met with several agreeing faces and two that are much too busy doubling over in laughter to really care which shade of pink it is as long as it is pink. Olivia begins laughing, too.

"I think Yusuke should get this one," Nissi and Meagan point to a pail that holds a putrid pink.

The Destinies nod, knowing that Yusuke will hate the color very much.

"And Kuwabara gets this regular one," Vanessa points. "Well...what do you think, Malia?"

"How about the baby pink one?"

"All right."

Grinning happily at the thought of something to do on this otherwise boring day, the Destinies grab the pail carrying their respective color and move off towards their sensei's room. Kirsten moves off with Olivia, satisfied with everyone's choice of color, and Malia goes off with Meagan to paint Yusuke's room. Paint and paintbrushes in hand, the Destinies begin with vigor. With each stroke the rooms become pinker and pinker and the Destinies smiles become wider and wider.

"How you guys holding up?" Meagan asks them at break time.

Yukina sits at the table with them, shaking her head at their idea. But she's not shaking her head in disagreement--quite the opposite, actually. She agrees wholly with them, and tells them so. The seven girls crowd around the small table, sipping their BubbleMan (a/n: BubbleMan! It's the best grape soda in the world! Heh. Sorry.) and eating the sandwhiches Yukina happily made for them. She also cured injuries which the Destinies had acquired through several little accidents such as dropping the high rollers and tripping over the stools.

"I'm almost done with Hiei's room--it's so small," Olivia murmurs.

"And we're almost done with Kuwabara's. I never noticed how many rooms there are in this dang mansion." Vanessa flips her hair out of her eyes. "And my dang hair won't stay up!" Her friends laugh.

"Enough to host a whole party for a long while. Well, we're going back to Yusuke's room."

Malia and Meagan walk off--Yusuke's room is a bit bigger than everyone else's. Olivia nudges Kirsten and suggests that she go help Nissi with Kurama's room. Nissi shakes her head.

"Nah, I'm almost finished. I'm just waiting for the walls to dry so I can paint the cieling."

"Eh?"

"I learned a new power!"

"What?"

"I can...walk on walls. You know--without hands and stuff."

"That's cool!"

"Sure is. Kurama taught me. Well, gotta go!"

"Bye!"

Sighing contently, Kirsten moves off to Hiei's room, dragging Olivia with her. Yukina waves good-bye and amuses herself with the T.V. The strokes continue, the rooms pinken, the grins widen, and in this way the whole day passes and everything runs smoothly...until Botan suddenly enters with her briefcase in hand.

"Hey, Botan. You should see what we did to the boy's rooms."

"I'm afraid we won't have time to. You guys need to clean yourselves up quickly. Koenma needs you now."

"Why?"

"What's happening?"

"The boys have been...caught."

Lol. And we leave it at a cliffhanger. The plot thickens. Thanks to Kirsten for allowing me to put her in the story. So you've met the Master. Hope you've enjoyed. Very small chapter but yuh...Ciao!
