Chapter 7: Picking up peoples!
---------------------------
"Solaris, where are we supposed to be going, because I think we're lost." Kurama asked. He was driving this time. Foxglove was sacked out in the camper, and Hiei was listening to a CD player in the back seat. Solaris, sitting in the passenger seat, was holding a map in her hands.
"We aren't lost. See, we take this road and turn right. That'll get us to Kyoto in no time!" she cheered. Kurama took his eyes from the road for a split second to look at the map.
"Solaris, you're holding the map upside down. We're lost." he sighed. She looked at it and turned it right side up.
"Yeah. I guess so. Hey, have you ever noticed that if you took the last two letters from Kyoto and put them first, you'd have Tokyo?" she smiled. Hiei bopped her in the back of the head.
"That was a useless bit of info for one, and for another, we're lost." he sighed. Solaris stared out of her window, then pointed and jumped, startling Kurama enough to make him hit the brakes.
"Look! People!" she cried. Rolling her window down, she looked at the two people. "Excuse me, do you people know how to get to Kyoto?" A girl with honey colored hair that had aqua streaks in it spoke up.
"Sure. Take this road and turn left when you reach the fork. Can we get a ride? We were headed there ourselves."
"Kurama, what's the big idea? I was asleep back there!" Foxglove yelled from the camper.
"If you can put up with my muse, sure. Hiei, move over back there. I'm Solaris, the guy in the driver's seat is Kurama, and the spiky haired guy in the back is Hiei. And the irate voice in the camper is Foxglove." Solaris smiled. The two climbed into the car.
"I'm Day, and this is Raccoon. Can't believe we found someone going to Kyoto too." Hiei got a better look at the new passengers. Both were girls, but Day was wearing a denim skirt and an aqua halter top, while Raccoon wore short black denim shorts and a black spaghetti strap tank top that proclaimed 'Clowns scare me. They are EVIL!!' The two were carrying backpacks. Day's was aqua and Raccoon's was black. Both had ears, but Raccoon's were dog ears. Day had sky blue fox ears.
"Now we have 4 foxes on this trip. What did I do to deserve this?" he sighed.
"Not quite. Five foxes." Raccoon smiled, displaying fox fangs. For the first time, Hiei noticed Raccoon's tail. Suddenly her backpack began to thrash and yell.
"'Ey! Lemme out o' 'ere! Raccoon, if you don' lemme outta this thing this second, I'm going to 'urt you the second I do get out!"
"Uh, did your backpack just speak? And with an Irish accent?" Hiei asked.
"Oh, darn!" Raccoon said as she opened her bag. A small creature jumped out and sat on Kurama's head rest. "Sorry, Jenks. I forgot about you being in there."
"I coul' tell." the creature said in hurt tones. "D'ya know 'ow hot it gets in there? Pixies are delicate creatures y'know."
"Oh, wow! A pixy! I never thought I'd see one!" Solaris said in awe.
"Yeah, I've gotta keep him. He'd get in trouble if I didn't." Raccoon sighed as she twisted a silver hoop in her left ear. "He's a major pain."
"This one seems to appreciate me." Jenks said as Solaris picked him up off the head rest.
"Wow... you'd think pixies would have hair like where they lived, like green for a plains pixy and so on, but this one has blond hair... And some cool gray eyes... Like pearls." Solaris said. "It's so cute!" she said. (She sounded like Kagome when Shippo entered the series.)
"Is this the left you were talking about?" Kurama asked, finally speaking up.
"Yeah, this is the one." Raccoon nodded. Hiei noticed the dark green eyes light up with joy, and he realized that they were almost the same shade as Foxglove's. Why this thought had entered his head now was unknown, but he was determined not to think of the stupid trouble-causing muse now. Soon they stopped at a good restaurant. Solaris had pulled off another successful pocket picking today before they had left the restaurant they had gone to for breakfast. "Solaris, get Foxglove if you would."
"Okay!" she smiled, then ran to the camper and tapped on the door. "Foxglove! Lunch!" Seconds later she was on the ground, twitching. Day came over to help her up.
"That's your muse I suppose." she stated, watching Solaris nod. As soon as they got in there and were seated, Foxglove asked to see the wine list.
"Aren't you a little young ta be drinkin'? I mean, you can't be any older 'n 16." Jenks said. Solaris laughed a little.
"We only look young. We're really 148 years old." she giggled. Day and Raccoon laughed, Jenks did not.
"148? Please. That's not possible. I mean, for all 15 years I've lived, I've never heard of someone who lived that long." Raccoon laughed.
"It's possible if she's a spirit." Jenks said.
"Demons, actually. Fox demons to be precise. And from the look of it, Raccoon here is a dog/fox demon." Solaris said.
"Do you have to take flea baths?" Foxglove laughed. Raccoon glared at her.
"That's it, outside! No one jokes about flea baths in front of me!" she scowled. Day tried to calm ruffled nerves.
"Please, no fighting. This is supposed to be a lunch, not a blood bath. Anyhow, since you two don't look old enough, they wouldn't give us wine anyway. I'm only 17, I can't legally order alcoholic beverages, and none of you even look remotely near 18." she smiled. So the group got through lunch without a hitch.

Solaris: Welcome Raccoon (Character by MysticRaccoon) and Day (character by MFlaim)! They'll be here until our group gets to Kyoto!
Raccoon: Why are you guys going to Kyoto?
Hiei: Because the darn foxgirl wanted to. I'd rather be home.
Kurama: Come now, you can't say that it's been dull thus far.
Hiei: Yes I can. -Glares-
Day: Read and review, please!
