Chapter 5: Aw, Shit
"Aw, shit," was the only thing the silverrette could say as she was being hauled off to Koenma's office, on a Saturday morning, 6:30, and being dragged through the halls by her ankle.
'The world seems different from this perspective. Almost as different as how hands look when they're naked…I really need to stop quoting Good Charlotte. Oh, well.'
She sighed and placed her arms under her head. 'Might as well sleep now, I sure as Hell, know I don't sleep at night…' And with that she closed her eyes and fell asleep to the slow motion of being dragged along the floor.
Life is sweet.
"Shut up," the brunette mumbled to her twin. All day she had spent trying to bring Reynna out of bed! Now she was dragging her through the halls of Koenma's castle, and in into 'an important meeting', as the toddler had said. Ganaru glanced over her shoulder at Reynna and sighed sadly.
'Rey's not sleeping enough again. I thought she was over this…'
The girl sighed again and continued towards the mini ruler's office.
'He seriously needs to clean his office…And get a few chairs or something…'
Yusuke was about to open his mouth to yell at Koenma for waking him so early but the door opened and out walked Ganaru, dragging a sleeping Reynna after her.
Koenma raised a brow as Ganaru dropped Reynna's ankle and stood there, casually. Kuwabara stared, stupefied, Kurama looked amused and curious, while Hiei just blinked, Yusuke slightly opened his mouth.
"She needs to rest," she shrugged. "Now what?" Ganaru turned to face the stupefied Koenma before crossing her arms and lightly tapping her foot. This was her 'Say-something-fuckhead Pose,' as Reynna creatively dubbed it.
Koenma cleared his throat. "This concerns Reynna… immensely concerns her," Koenma added when Ganaru was about to protest. Not that it stopped her anyway.
"Koenma, she needs rest! She isn't sleeping anymore! And she's even lost her liking of cherry lollipops!" Ganaru exclaimed loudly, stomping her foot. Reynna absolutely adored cherry flavored lollipops, she usually had 3 a day but lately she only had one in a week. Reynna was only functioning of coffee and anything containing large amounts of caffeine or sugar.
And frankly Ganaru was a nervous wreck. Reynna only got sick like this once before. Ganaru didn't even know what had happened to Reynna when she went tumbling through their apartment door all bruised and bloody. This was the only secret of Rey's that Ganaru didn't know about.
But Koenma didn't waver. He was acting strange, like he was anxious and nervous. "She needs to hear this. It's the reason she can't sleep," was all Koenma needed to say to get Ganaru to shake Reynna awake.
"Rey, get up. You need to hear this," Ganaru pulled the sleepy teen out of her fetal position and stood her up. Reynna softly shook her head and looked around her, her eyes still droopy.
"Wha…?"
Koenma cleared his throat again. "Rey, I'm afraid I have some bad news… but, I need to explain a few things to everyone. Do you know what I'm going to tell them?" Koenma spoke in a soft voice, seeming like he was treating Reynna with special care, afraid of what her reaction would be.
The 5 other people in the room tensed and stood strait, sensing the seriousness of the awaiting answer and what Koenma had to tell them.
The silver haired girl nodded her head. "Yeah, explain everything."
Koenma nodded then turned towards the other teens in the room. " Reynna comes from a long line of honorable weather demons from the North- the Northern Storms- as they are called. Each offspring from the clan has a different ability to control a small portion of the weather. Like one can control when it rains, another can control the wind currents, and so on and so on," Koenma pointed to the picture of a tall muscular man, with pale blue spiked hair in front and short silver hair in the back, dressed in black pants, boots and a cloak that covered his upper torso. He resembled Reynna; two- toned hair(though Rey's is fake), same devilish smirk, and steel blue eyes.
But what shocked the 5 teens was not the striking resemblance to Rey, but the fact that Reynna was in the picture!
She had on a white elegant Chinese dress with gold trimmings and black sakura blossom designs stitched in the silky fabric, a giant ball of green electricity crackling in her left palm, and another in her right hand, underneath her left arm.
"This is Coniki, son of Hagisimu and Aquanis, the King and Queen of the Northern Storms. Coniki is also the heir to the throne, wielder of the ability to control wind, and older brother to Reynna Daishi; the 3rd in line for the throne, wielder of the ability to control lightning."
Koenma paused for a while letting the news sink in. Coming out of his shock, Kurama blinked. "Why do we need to know this? Why is Reynna 3rd in line?"
Reynna looked up. " I have another brother, Miyashu, he's 2nd. And we need to stop Coniki before he does something stupid. Before he takes over the Maikai," she spoke barely above a whisper.
Ganaru walked over to her. "Rey, what do you mean? When we saw him last he was doing business with your dad. Why does he want to rule the demon region?"
Reynna smiled sadly. "…I don't know. He just turned on our kingdom, and slaughtered most of the castle guards," she sighed and hugged herself. "…I seriously don't know what went wrong. He was about to get married… he had planned his whole life out the way he wanted…then he left."
Ganaru pulled her into a hug. "Aww…Sparky…We'll figure something out, and we'll get him back. I promise."
Getting slightly uncomfortable, Kuwabara spoke up. "…So what are we supposed to do, I mean, how can we help?"
"I need you to protect these two as they stay with Reynna's family for a while, as they figure things out. As for your parents and sister, make up something that will take about a few months at the most. You'll be leav-," Koenma was cut off by Yusuke.
"Why do we have to come? Aren't these two your best spies or something?" Yusuke nodded towards the two girls.
"Yes, but Yusuke, Coniki has slaughtered most of the castle guards by himself. Imagine if he managed to gather a small army of demons. Even with the trained warriors, the castle will never stand a chance," Kurama said, looking at the picture of Coniki intently.
Yusuke as well as everyone else thought over Kurama's wise words.
"All right. I'll go, but when are we going?"
Koenma sweat dropped. "I was going to tell you before you interrupted me. Anyway, you'll be leaving as soon as possible. Get packed tonight and be ready for tomorrow."
As they were about to walk out the doors to Koenma's office, Kuwabara spoke to Reynna quietly.
"How are you holding up? I mean, with all this stuff about your brother?" The human asked timidly, trying to comfort the obviously sad demon.
She looked up at the human and cracked a small smile. "I'm okay…just a little disturbed and worried. But I'm happy to see my family again. Maybe you and the other guys could train with Miyashu? He loves to fight," she grinned.
"Yeah," Kuwabara laughed. "He'd probably kick my ass easily! I can tell you're strong, so I don't really wanna fight your big brother!"
Reynna just giggled. "Maybe. But he was trained by our father…"
"Yeah," Kuwabara agreed. "What's your brother's power? I know you have Lightning and Coniki has Wind, but what about your brother and parents?"
"Oh!" she laughed. "Miyashu controls Thunder, my mother Rain, and my dad Temperature."
Kuwabara nodded and thought about something. "You said Coniki has a fiancé?"
"Yeah," Reynna nodded. "Chiaki. She's really nice and controls- well I don't know what she controls…Hmm…I never asked before…"
Kuwabara just laughed.
"Aww…He cheered her up! That's nice of him," Ganaru smiled, fondly watching the laughing teens in front of her.
Kurama nodded. "Usually he would be declaring his love to her by now, I guess he sees her more of a little sister."
"I know how he feels. I'm Rey's unofficial twin and she mine but, somehow, I find her more of a little sister."
Kurama looked at her. "How, may I ask, did you two meet? You seemed pretty shocked in there…"
She chuckled. "We've been best friends since we were babies. I knew all about her family and that, but I was surprised at Coniki. Rey used to have an attitude problem with everyone beside the ones she respects, and Con was her hero." Ganaru stared into space, remembering her childhood.
"One time, I remember, Rey and me were walking in the fields surrounding our castles and my brother Jakuro and Con were playing a game of some sort, and in the end Con broke his finger. Rey looked so concerned and she ran around screaming that her 'beloved brother was dying a slow and painful death filled with hurt and misery', and only stopped when Con gave her a piggyback ride home and had his finger wrapped properly." Ganaru laughed lightly, remembering when Reynna did a ballet for Coniki.
Kurama looked forward at the two teens talking with Yusuke and remembered something.
"Ganaru," he asked. "What do lollipops have to do with Reynna's health?"
She smiled. "Con gave Rey a cherry lollipop on her 5th birthday and she fell in love with them. She used to eat 3 or more a day, but she only ate one this week. And she hasn't been sleeping well."
Kurama raised a brow, waiting for her to continue.
"She can tell when something's wrong with her brothers. Like last year, Miyashu had a small cold and Reynna stayed up all week fussing over him. Or when Con and his fiancé, Chiaki, got in a fight, Con fell into depression and Reynna went with him. She wouldn't even eat that month," Ganaru sighed then laughed.
"What's so funny?" Kurama quirked a brow.
"I talk too much."
Unknown to the 5 teens walking down the hall but an angered glare rested on the human talking to the silver and black haired princess.
His never-ending stare shifted towards the kitsune and wind elemental.(Ganaru is a royal too, but of the Elemental Kingdom)
"Con gave Rey a cherry lollipop on her 5th birthday and she fell in love with them…"
'Hmm', the fire appiration thought, 'She loves cherry lollipops…'
"Heh," a man with blue eyes scoffed lightly. "It seems my little sister found herself a boyfriend…"
He looked at the boy with the orange hair. 'He will not do, I hope she finds nothing interesting in him…she needs a protector, and a good one.'
He looked back into the ball and found someone staring at her…rather glaring at the humans talking to Reynna.
'Oh, he would be a nice companion for her…but only if you knew little sister, what has truly happened. But you can't, for your own safety. Please, don't hate me…'
Suddenly Reynna looked strait into the ball, as if she could see her brother threw the small glass.
'My sweet sister,' he thought for a moment she could really see him. Her blue eyes staring directly at him. Then she…smiled.
'My sweet little cherry pop…'
What do you guys think? Please tell me! Thankies!
