Schweppes: New chapter! Yay! This fic is getting WAY too long, and we're only still in the beginning. Hope it doesn't end up being a 100 chapter fic that'd get annoying. But think of all the reviews!
Jack: What are you muttering about now?
Schweppes: Well, maybe if you listened the first time, you'd know.
Bakura: Stop bickering and go on with the fic before I kill you all.
Meilin: Meep. Well, guess I'll say the disclaimer then. We own everything! They may tell us over and over again that we don't own a thing at all, but they're wrong! All wrong! Muahahahaha.
Malik: Okkkaaayyy... now that Meilin's gone insane, let's just get this over with.
Notes: -action-, 'Riku's thoughts', (A/N)
WARNING: Yaoi
Last time: "L.. look!" I was stuttering as well as pointing and staring at Schweppes. Schweppes on the other hand seemed to be transforming as well, probably from watching Meilin change or something along those lines.
Toxicity
Chapter Eleven: Alice meets Oz
When Schweppes was done transforming, she had a wolf-like tale and little ears.
"Schweppes, you look like a wolfish creature!" Sora said, stating the obvious.
"AHH! IT'S A WEREWOLF!" Kairi screamed. Everyone facefaulted.
"Huh?" She turned around and to her surprise, looked like a wolf.
"She isn't an ordinary wolf demoness, she's part fire too. A rare combination." Kurama stated.
'But what does this have to do with Meilin being some sort of princess? Oh! I get it now, she used to be a princess before and ended up in New York somehow. But how would she end up in New York and not remember anything about being here, it would be pretty hard to forget if you ask me. Schweppes must have been here too, she's a demon as well.'
"Kurama, what are you?" I wondered.
Kurama then began to transform, to show us instead of trying to tell us.
'He didn't have any trouble at all, and it went more smoothly then Schweppes or Meilin's transformations. He's probably been doing it longer and obviously more often. Could there be a certain time of day that they transform, kind of like werewolves? No, I'm not going into that, I'd be really embarrassed if I were wrong, but then again, I know nothing about it, so they wouldn't be mad. Better not ask though, to be safe.'
I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up at Kurama, he had really long sliver hair, little fox ears, 4 silver-gray tales, a white tunic, and yellow harsh eyes. 'His eyes have changed, a lot unlike his normal eyes.'
Meilin then appeared to be having a huge headache. She was crumpled up on the ground in a fetal position.
"Are you okay, Meilin?" Kurama wondered.
"Kurama, is that really you? Oh, Kurama! You look older. I've missed you so much!" Meilin didn't sound herself. She was acting really different.
"Is this the Meilin I know, the princess?"
"Of course it is, why wouldn't it be? And how'd we get all the way over here, last I knew I was standing by that big cliff near town. When some rocks began to fall, I called out your name and the next thing I know I'm here. And who are these people?"
"You don't remember me, Schweppes, your best friend?" Schweppes was sounding worried.
'Meilin doesn't even remember her whole time in New York, or even us! It must have been years that she's been away, and she's acting like no time went by at all. That rock must of hit her on the head and she got amnesia.'
"No, who are you? You look like some sort of wolf demon, and fire too? Isn't that forbidden?"
"Yes, I believe it is." Kurama was remembering.
"So I'm forbidden? Is that probably why I don't remember anything?" Schweppes was curious.
"That and maybe you don't come from here, you could be from some other world altogether. Or at least from the past where we roamed free in Japan." Meilin stated.
"You seem to know so much, but what year do you think it is?" I asked.
"It's 1990, why wouldn't it be?"
"You're wrong. It's 2004. You must have forgotten everything that happened back then, you had amnesia and slipped into another world. We think the same type of thing happened to Schweppes, but she doesn't know it yet." Sora said.
"Wait, you never told me you thought that the same type of thing happened to me. Now I'm confused!" Schweppes blurted out.
"2004? I missed 14 years? When did that happen? Oh, now I'm so confused." Meilin fell over into another headache, maybe this time her memory's going to come back from being in New York.
When Meilin came up from her second headache, she didn't seem to have changed. "Hello Schweppes, I see you've met Kurama, but how?"
"So, does this mean that you remember New York and this weird world?" Schweppes asked.
"Of course I would, why wouldn't I?" she chuckled, "By the way, why do you look like a wolf?"
"I turns out that I'm some sort of wolf demon. How come you never told me you were a fox demon thing?"
"I don't know, I guess I forgot about it until now."
"Now that we got this settled out, how about we find that spiky haired guy." The Mayor suggested.
"You haven't talked since I first met you." Kurama noticed.
"Well, I guess I've been too shocked. But we really should find him." The Mayor was worried.
"All right then." And Kurama went off to find Hiei, everyone in toll.
'I wonder why the Mayor wants to find Hiei so badly. Maybe he felt bad for him or something, or just wants to get out of here and find Jack. We still need to find out who is behind that whole thing, we're never going to find out if stuff like this keeps popping up everywhere.'
Kurama led us around the bamboo forest to a town. We walked into one of the buildings and Kurama gathered some supplies, probably expecting to go on a big journey, knowing where to find Hiei.
'I really hope he knows where he's going. Hiei and Kurama seemed to have a great bond, so he'd know where Hiei went, I hope. If they didn't then, they wouldn't have been so close. Yes, that's gotta be it!'
"Where are we going?" Kairi wondered.
"You'll see, it's pretty far away." Kurama answered.
"Where are we anyway?" Sora asked.
"We are in a land called Makai." Kurama said, without even bothering to look up.
"WHAT!" Sora, Kairi and I sweatdropped, the Mayor and Schweppes looked at us weird.
"What's so weird about that?" Meilin wondered.
"In Japanese it means Hell." Kairi said.
Schweppes's eyes started to twinkle with joy, "Wow! We're really here?" She had that weird anime look when they're in complete joy. The Mayor was speechless.
"I really don't know what to say. I mean, going from Halloween Town to that New York place, and now here, I wouldn't be surprised if elephants started to fly." Mayor said.
"Mayor, elephants do fly. There's a movie on it called Dumbo the flying elephant." Schweppes said.
"See, and I'm not surprised at all." As there's a sweatdrop behind his head...
(Jack: LIAR! HE'S SURPRISED!
Schweppes: I think we found that out.
Jack: Just stating the obvious.
Schweppes: Now stop doing it and get on with the fic!
Jack: Fine -shuffles into another room- Ya know, your head's really empty. Don't you have some sort of test next week?
Schweppes: That's why you're staying here, to give me the answers! Muhahaha!
Jack: If she's going to use me like that, then I'm gonna be here for a while -sweatdrop-
Meilin: Even longer since I'm gonna use you too... just in my head.
Jack: Holy crap.
Meilin: On second thought, I'll use Riku instead. Rikuuuuuu! Come heeereee!
Riku: Hell no! I'm not going near you! Last time I did you tried to kidnap me all for yourself!
Meilin: So, what's wrong with that?
Schweppes: You WHAT?
Meilin: Meep. -runs to Riku- Save me!
Riku: She's never gonna leave me alone.
Jack: I know how you feel.
Cloud: How come I'm still here, can I leave yet?
Schweppes: Wait, why are you here?
Cloud: Meilin forced us all to come back against our will.
Schweppes: Gahhh!
Meilin: ... oops. -hides-)
We finally leave Kurama's house after a while of getting some stuff.
"Kurama, I know I asked this already, but where are we going?" Kairi asked again.
"I told you, you'll see when we get there."
I overheard Meilin and Schweppes whispering, "For some reason I think I've seen Kurama and Hiei before, but I just can't put my finger on it."
"I know what you mean, Schweppes, but I've known them before. Why would you feel like you know them?" Meilin responded.
"I guess we'll have to find out later." Schweppes left it at that.
'How could Schweppes of known them before, we already found out that she wasn't from here, she's from some other world inhabited by demons. This is all too confusing.'
As we continued our hike, we came to a big forest. 'I hope this isn't going to be like Wizard of Oz. Lions and tigers an bears, oh my!' I was laughing out loud without realizing it, and everyone looked at me weird. Not a word was spoken, no silence was broken.
(Jack: What was the point in rhyming?
Schweppes: We're taking poetry in English and I got it on the brain. Speaking of brains, I'm eating a brain lollypop, it tastes really good.
Cloud: A BRAIN LOLLYPOP? What will they think of next?
Meilin: A way to make bishies to come to life! Muhahaha!
Cloud: Yet again, I will never get out of here alive.)
In this forest, it looked mostly like a normal spooky forest. The only leaves are on the ground, a really thick fog coats the area, so cold you can see your breath and all the trees seem to be black and there is no sky in sight.
Schweppes's and Mayor's eyes lit up, whilst Sora, Kairi and me really didn't want to go, but Kurama kept on moving, so we followed.
In the forest we met up with lions with umbrella heads, tigers that disappeared with only a smile to be seen, and bears made up of dustpans. Following us the whole way was a little brown dog (think of Toto from Wizard of Oz) with a broom as a tail. He was sweeping away the yellow, brick-type path we were following.
We got the first fork in the road and there was a tiger with a strange voice saying, "Pick the right path to find your way, The paths may change no one can say. Choose the right path, or feel our wrath, but get free of us you may." (Like my poem? I don't.)
"I know my way, it's nothing to be afraid of." Kurama sounded serious.
"You're way? But don't you mean the queen's way?" The cat asked.
Everyone ignored the cat this time, and went on to our destination that I have yet to discover.
We had gotten to a dead end, when Kurama clicked his shoes together. Then a flash of light and we were at a hill.
After a while of hiking we finally made it. I lost track of time and yet, no one seemed to want to talk until we met that crazy cat/voice thing.
"Hiei, we found you. Are you ready to come out yet?" Kurama asked up into a tree.
"Why would Hiei be in a tree?" Mayor asked suspiciously.
"And what was with that insane world? I could have sworn I saw the Cheshire Cat!"
"He has a weird habit of climbing trees, you'll learn to get used to it."
"Just like his attitude problem?" Sora joked.
Hiei jumped down from the tree, "Yes, I've been ready. I was just waiting for you to come here. What took you so long?"
"I didn't want to go as fast with the new guests, they are a little slower than me."
"Hey, who you calling slow?" Sora asked, I rolled my eyes at him and winked.
There was someone else hiding in the trees with Hiei. He came out into the clearing. He was wearing green clothes and had black hair, even though it looked blueish.
"Hi, my name's Yuske. Want to introduce me to your new friends, Kurama?"
"Sure, this is The Mayor, this is Schweppes, Meilin, Riku, Sora, and Kairi." Kurama was pointing to all of us as he said our names.
"I KNOW YOU! You're from that show-" Schweppes was cut short when Meilin kicked her in the shin before she finished the word, "OW! I mean a dream I had! Yeah, he he... dream."
'A show? Could people from New York of found out about them and wrote some show on it, turning their lives into entertainment? Could they have done that to us too? Meilin said she had a dream about us before, maybe she told someone and they turned us into some sort of show or game back in that New York place.'
Schweppes was whispering to Meilin again, I only caught a couple words, "Told ya so!", "Shhh, they're not supposed to know that." and, "What do you mean?" But besides that I couldn't understand anything else.
'So who is this Yuske person anyway? He just appeared out of nowhere, wait there's another person appearing from the forest now!'
This person was a girl. She had blue hair, pink eyes and was floating on an oar.
"Yusuke, wait up next time!" The girl yelled at him.
"Sorry Botan." Yusuke apologized.
"Now what?" Hiei wondered.
"Didn't we promise these people we'd help them find their friend?" Kurama asked.
"Their friend's missing? I'll help, it's really boring sitting around here all day anyway!" Yuske said.
"Why don't you tell us the story? I don't recall hearing it." Kurama asked us.
"Sure, I'll tell it." I said, "Okay, it all started when Kairi, Sora and I were playing around. That was when Meilin and Schweppes must have fallen out of a portal and down the waterfall..." The story went on and on, and it doesn't need to be told, since you people know it already.
About an hour later, Hiei had gone back into the forest while Yuske, Botan and Kurama were hanging on to our every word.
"So you went on that long journey, just to look for a dead guy who can probably get out of there anyway?" Botan asked.
"Yeah, I guess so. Maybe you guys can join us." Sora suggested.
I'm getting bored of writing, and I don't want the YYH to end here, so it won't, I will add more later.
Cloud: I want to get out of here!
Schweppes: Too bad, once in an author's mind, always in an author's mind.
Meilin: -glomping Riku- YEP!
Riku: Get off of me! Cloud, this is your entire fault! Is this why you asked me to come here?
Cloud: Uhhh... yeah. I couldn't stand them and I think Jack ran away.
-A slight murmur is heard from a closet-
Schweppes: Hmmm... I'll go see what that is. -Opens the closet, and in there is Sora- What are you doing here, Sora?
Riku: SORA, SAVE ME!
Sora: Riku! -Tears are streaming down his face as he runs to save his boyfriend-
Meilin: -Little heart eyes- Awww!
-Riku somehow manages to get free of Meilin's death grip and Sora hugs him.-
Sora: I missed you!
Riku: And I missed you too!
Schweppes: Give me a break, you've been in the closet, god knows what you were doing in there.
Sora: -sweatdrop- Hee hee.
Jack: -peeking out from another room- Is it safe yet?
Cloud: NO, GET BACK THERE!
Schweppes: Jack's back!
Cloud: Too late -sweatdrop-
Meilin: Hmmm... Need more bishies. -Calls up a whole bunch of people and invites them over-
-Knock, knock!-
Meilin: That was quick. -Opens the door-
Tsukasa: Did someone call? Uh oh, not this place again!
Schweppes: Oooh! Yay!
Kouga: Someone invited me here, where is this place anyway?
Jack: You don't want to know
Schweppes: KOUGA! -Bows in front of Kouga, kissing his feet-
Meilin: That is sad
Tsukasa: Hmmm... how come no one ever does that to me?
Kouga: This is scary. Wait, do I know you?
Schweppes: I don't know, do you?
Kouga: I think I do!
Meilin: NO MORE KNOWING PEOPLE!
Schweppes and Kouga: -stare-
Cloud: Meilin's got power
Meilin: Yes, and I'll make all of you stay here, forever! Muhaha... -cough cough-
Tsukasa: Looks like someone needs to work on their evil laugh
Jack: Yep.
Cloud: Wait, what happened to Riku and Sora?
Meilin: I don't want to know.
Schweppes: -taunting- You know you want to!
Meilin: No I don't!
Kouga: Who are they?
Jack: Just some gay people, probably making out.
Kouga: Ummm... too much information there.
Schweppes: This has been going on too long, let's end the fic already!
Meilin: Aww, why, this is fun, like a little party!
Cloud: -whispering to everyone in the room except for Schweppes and Meilin- If we end this soon, I bet I can help us find a way out of here.
Schweppes: On second thought... who cares. Kouga stays though, and if he doesn't I will hunt him down and skin him!
Meilin: Why would you want his skin?
Schweppes: Ummm... I could use it as a memory -dreamy look on her face-
Kouga: You really scare me -edges towards the door-
Cloud: Wait, take me with you! -opens the door and runs out.-
-Meilin then gets to the door before Kouga can get out, at least one of them will stay.-
Meilin: Cloud'll be back. They always come back.
