Say Hiei- 5'3, Yusuke-5'7 Kurama-5'8 Kuwabara-5'9
"Goodbye my most wonderful parents!" Michi said, closeing the door on their blank faces.
"She's at it again."
Chi ran down the sidewalk, in her uniform that had been modified. She had cut the short blue skirt for mid-thigh. She kept the shirt intact, save for the elbow length sleeves and the little tie she died black. She put saftey-pins in the skirt on the sides of the skirt . She also had black knee high socks.
She put on her earings and some braceletes.
"Hey! Chi! Was up?" That familar voice of Kitty asked.
"Nothing the but the pretty sky which tortures usat randome times." Chi said as she continued to walk, Kitty running after her.
"Yep. So are you still in for tonight?"
"Of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world." Chi replied happily.
Kitty closed her eyes as she pointed a acusing fingure at Chi, "Good because if you didn't, it wouldn't go as planned and we would have to wait till next time. Since it's you who has-"
"Puppy!" Chi said smothering the puppy a older woman had, who only smiled. "Aww it's soo cute! Then they groww up and get fat and lazy. Somethimes they eat the furniture and tackle you. Well bye-bye puppy." She jumped up and ran to Kitty who stayed away from the dog. "What were you saying?"
Kitty sighed, "Nothing. Nice uniform though."
"I know. I was gunna die it red but I thought blue was more my color." Chi said holding her shirt out. "Well I go this way. Say hey to every-body for me."
"Righto chika. Later." Kitty ran off with her casual dressing and Chi walked off to her school.
"-and so that's how to do that problem." The math teacher said showing it on the board.
Chi sat in the back, her head on her arms, drool dripping onto the desk as she stared bordly confused at the board.
I wonder where they picked...haha..picked. Like that kids picking his nose. Ha ha. Bet he thinks no one sees him. ...ewwww.
I wonder where Yusuke and Kazuma are...guess Ill visit Keiko today. Mom said it would be good. She does go to this school, but I only have two classes with her. Hmm...ooo a bird. Aww. it has babies. Now it's throwing them off... Wonder if that's dangerous. ... Man. Im gunna skip tomorrow. Way to boring.
She sat back, wipping the drool from her chin. She put her hands behind her head to try and go to sleep as she closed her eyes.
"Miss Usagi...Mis Usagi...Miss Usagi!" Chi jolted awake from a loud sound, falling backwards just in time. She grabbed her skirt so it didn't fly up as the class snickered.
"Pick yourself up and do the problems on the board." The teacher said. He was the second period teacher. Chi noted as she picked herself up and glared at the teachers back, that she sleep threw first period.
She glared at the giggling student as she made her way up to the board. She did the problem and the teach checked it.
"Miss Usagi. Did you even try?" He asked, sighing angrly.
"You said to do the problems, not get the correct." She said with that annoyed attitued but then got that cat face Botan usually does and pointed to a smiley. "Besides. I made you a smiley face on the board."
"Just go sit down." She turned heel and walked back to her seat. She folded her hands and smiled at him as he watched her sit but placed her head, bordly in her palm, looking out the window when he turned around.
Soon lunch came around. Leo and Dice pulled up again with food.
"So. You ready for tonight?"
"Yep. Hope I didn't get to hard a job."
"Nah, usual. Zee's gunna help out.
"Mmkay. So you guys up to visiting Keiko today? Mom said it would be nice."
"Yeah I guess. But doesn't she go to this school?" Dice asked leaning back in his chair.
"Yeah she's over there with the ever bubbly Botan. Oh tomorrow.You guys wanna come over in the morning and practice for the gig? My parents are leaving early because of a busy-ness-trip. Mom just wanted to go with him."
"Sure. Nice to get a break. We'll tell the others tonight." Leo said throwing his trash to the sidewalk.
"Alrighty. I's gots to gos. Luv yas Byez." She jogged off, as Leo closed the door.
"Hey Keiko." Michi met up with her on the way out of school, "Mind if me and Leo, Dice, crash at your place for a bit. Ma said I should come and talk with you."
Keiko was with Botan., who didn't know Chi and was kinda freaked when the girl walked up and slung her arm over Keiko.
"I guess. We could catch up."
"Yay! Ill make dinner there if you want as a thanks."
"Alright. See you there." Keiko waved as Chi jogged down the side walk.
"Who was that?" Botan asked looking after her as she stummbled in a puddle.
"That. She's my crazy cousin. She's not direct but her mom was adopted into my family. And every once in a while she shows up with some of her friends. Well don't you have a job to do?"
"Oh yeah! If you need me ther Ill be sure to stop by."
"It's okay. I don't think you'd really like them." Keiko waved to the retreting Reaper.
" Hey T! Im going to Keiko's after Dice and Leo get here!" Chi yelled into the house as she stepped in.
"Whatever. Don't come home with the cops this time." He said poking his head around the cornor.
"Well excccuuusssee me. That was a controlled fire. And they wouldn't have caught me if I didn't have the matches."
"Exaclty. Just get out of here." He went back to talking on the phone.
She sighed and ran upstairs. She changed into black flared pants that had a blue dragon at the buttom of the left leg.She wore black flip-flops and and a dark blue spaghettii strap. She combed out her hair, taking it down and had her earings in, but all blue. She put on blue and black brancelets.
Hearing a stirr outside she went to her window. Not seeing anyone she peering where a branch moved.
"Hey Hiei! Have you seen the others?" She asked spotting the black blurrand noticed a red hue on his face.
"Hn. No." Hiei stared at her fromthe tree in the middle of Kurama's and Chi's house. It was on his lawn just Chi could see it from her window.
"Okie Dokie!" She left the window open and ran downstairs.
She shut the door and stood on the porch.One minute went by and she sat on the porch swing, waiting. Bored of swinging she jumped down to the steps. Laying on her back and leaned back down the steps. She started to work-out dowing crunches. Seeing the door...the sky, then the sidewalk. The door, the sky, the sidewalk. The door opening, the sky, Shuichi.
"Hey Shuichi! Have you seen the other two?" She asked laying back so she focused on the upside downhim.
"Yes. I believe they went.."
"Ahhh! Get off you big baffon!" Chi yelled.
"...home." Shuichi sweat dropped as Hiei made his way to him.
"Well maybe if you didn't randomly lay by the door I wouldn't of fell on you." Tomi yelled getting off his squashed sister.
"Excuse me. I was waiting and talking to nice Shuichi until your lardo ass fell on top of me!" Chi said wipping her pants. The two squarlled as Hiei and Kurama sweat dropped.
Beep Beep
"Oooo" Chi said getting all happy, "That's my ride. Bye-bye fat ass. Bye you two." She ran over and climbed into the backseat.
"That was interesting." Shuichi said as they drove off.
"Hn."
Ding-Dong
Her door opened showing Chi in the front and the two taller boys behind her, Dice and Leo. They all had ear to ear smiles on saying in unison, "Hi!"
Keiko smiled at them and moved to the side, letting them in.
"So. How is are little lady?" Dice asked sitting down with Leo on the opposite sides of the couch.
"Fine. How are youguys?"
"Good. Get to go out tonight." Leo said happily.
"You guys really need to stop. I promised not to say anything but if anything happens I will."
"Even on yourlittle cousin?" Chi asked poking her head in from the kitchen.
"Yes short stuff. I got some good black mail on all of you." Keiko said smudgly, laced with worry.
"Yeah yeah. Some how you always find out." Dice sighed stretching out.
"How are Kitty and Shela?" Keiko asked tossing Leo the tv clicker/remote.
"Good good. Next time we go over to the arcade you need to go." Leo said flipping threw the channels.
"Hey. We met that boyfriend of yours yesterday." Dice said looking at her witha smirk as she blushed.
"He's not my boyfriend!" She argued.
"Then what are with all these pictures?" Chi asked behind her as she loked at the many different pictures of her and Yusuke.
"We're best friends. Why wouldn't I have pictures of him?" She asked looking at Michi.
"Then whats this one?" Chi asked waving a picture of her and Yusuke as littler ones, and was tacken as Yusuke leaned over giving her a kiss on the cheek as she blushed looking down at her folded hands.
"Ahh! Where.. Ah. We were little!" She defended standing up quickly, her face strawberry red.
"Riiight. About what nine...ten maybe?" Chi continued.
"So. I have a whole list on you guys. Care for me to tell?" She asked crossing her arms.
"No!" They yelled at once. "Thought so."
A noise was heard just as the phone rang.
"Did you guys hear that?" Chi asked looking around curiously.
"Hello?" Keiko's voice entered.
"Hear what?" Dice asked as Leo sniffed the room.
"Sounded like a fire lighting up. You know that -phft- or w/e sound." Chi continued.
"Ya I have some company over. But you can invite them also." Keiko said twirling the phone line. Chi could be seen in theback horror stricken (lips twitching and the anime lines covering her eyes) as the two on the couch looked with big curious eyes at her.
"You can come over I guess since you-" Keiko was cut off by Chi.
"Ahhh! Fire!" She ran into the kitchen as the other two jumped up, jumping over the coffee table,following her.
"Come on over I gotta go!" She hung up and ran into the kitchen where the boys took off their jackets and fanned the fire that cunsumed the boiling pot, while Chi was yelling at them, "That makes it worst you bakas!"
"Well then what do you want us to do!" Dice said in a panic.
"I don't know! I never had this problem!" Chi yelled back as she ran over to the faucet and got a cup of water.
Leo stopped and sweat dropped when he turned around and saw a twitching Keiko. Dice backed away just as Chi put the fire out, sighing with relief.
"Chi! How could you forgeta boiling pot! And then NOT smell the smoke! Arg! Your so infuriating!" Keiko said jumping at Chi with a rolled up newspaper.
The two boys sweetdropped as they sat down.on the couch watching Keikoe chase after Chi, hitting her every once and a while on the head making Chi whine.
"Keiko I said I was sorry!" Chi continued to whine holding her head, "Just sssstttooooppp!"
"Ahh!" Chi tripped over the rug in the room, falling towards the closed door. She braced for impact but was caught by a sweatdropping Hiei.
"He hee...Hey guys!" She said nervously as she looked up into the harsh glare ofHiei. "Hn."He set her up and walked over to the window-sill. She sat cross legged by the door watching as the gang filled in.
"Hey guys. I would of had dinner ready but someone decided to have a fire." Keiko said at the smiling girl.
"Hey." Dice said, "Didn't she start one outside last time?"
"We have our own little pyro." Leo laughed.
"Har har. They are all accidents!" She defended crossing her arms and turning head.
Dice, Keiko, and Leo laughed and the others chuckled.
"So guyes. Where were you today?"
"Skipping." Yusuke said quickly before Kuwabara could say anything.
"Oooo kay. Well sorry I couldn't make you some dinner but we gotta go. Love ya doll. See ya round." Chi said getting up.
"See ya later babe." Dice said walking out the door.
"Sorry 'bout your oven. Later toots." Leo said following Dice while the two got scolded from Chi, "Don't call here that! Her boyfriend is there! Seriously you too have no-" She was cut off as the car door clothes.
"Soo. How do you know them?" Yusuke asked with a jealous tune unoticed by him but the others caught on, "You seem to be well accuainted with them."
Keiko laughed, "Your jealous. Anyways. Michi is my cousin and the other two are friends."
"Whatever!" Yusuke said turning his back to her.
"So do you want to go out to eat seeing as your oven is out of use?" Kurama asked.
She sighed, "Yeah. Let me get some money."
"Stop licking it."
"Ill lick whatever I want."
"Just stop it. Let me help."
"Its better when I do it, go away."
"Stop pushing me away. I need to get it."
"No. I like to taste it. It can be my snack."
"It's going to hurt worst if you don't stop."
Michi just stared out the window of Zee's shop, listening to the two love birds bicker. She watched the many people pass while she looked at her bike. Do they know how wrong that sounds? Man. He should just let her lick it. So what if it gets infected it's just a scratch. I wonder if they know their on type. I smell Blackmail!...wait no. That's just this, ewww. rotten milk. I bet it's all chunky.
She held up the rotten carten holdin her nose closed as she threw it in the trash. She ran into the bathroom and grabbed air freshener.
Spraying it quickly she looked up and saw Zee standing there. "He..heyyy Zee." She said nervously putting down the container.
"You are soo lucky I was wearing eye protectors." He said wipping away the air freshener from his mask.
"Sooo. We about ready?" Chi asked leaning over the counter.
"Yeah. Go get your stuff. And tell those two to shut up." Zee said, his words laced with annoyance.
"Yes Sir!" Michi marched out and into the next room, "Guys. That sounds sooo way wrong. So your not allowed to talk anymore. And get ready cause we're almost done."
"So. Where are we going?" Keiko asked.
"This one restaurant. I heard it was really good. It's just up ahead." Yusuke said, refering to a more downtown spot.
The more they walked the more poor(er) people they saw. Some were off their rocker and running around trying to sell stuff.
"So. A good restaurant is in here?" Keiko asked as the boys surrounded her more.
"Come on Yusuke. Lets go to another one. We'll check this one out some other time. Maybe without Keiko." Kurama suggested stopping.
"I never heard their was a restaurantdown here guys. I've been here before." Keiko said looking around, "Unless it's new."
"Who took you here?" Yusuke asked slightly angered, and jealous.
"Umm...It was a long time ago but it was Michi and her friends." Kieko said looking thoughtful as she sweatdropped.
"Lets leave." Hiei said agervatied.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk. Leaving so soon?" Someone said rounding a corner.
"Nice going Urameshi." Kuwabara rubbed in.
"Ah shut up. Keiko get back." Yusuke said getting into a fight stance along with the others. Their was about 10 of them.
A smirk came to the guys face as they pulled out their weapons. Daggers, metal poles, chains ext.
"This isn't your average street gang." Kurama said.
"Hn." Hiei grabbed his sword.
"Hiei, you can't kill them." Kurama said to the firey koorime.
"Why not? It's called self defense." Kuwabara said.
They fought as best they could getting few to many cuts. Kuwabara with most.
"Ahh!" Keiko screamed as someone picked her up from behind her. She struggled kicking while pushing his arm away.
"Well Well. What do I have here?" The big muscle man said sniffing her hair."Mmm."
"Lets her go you freak."
"Well now you know rule number two. Never leave your woman alone." He chuckled as some others gathered around.
"Well then whats rule number one?" Kuwabara asked.
"Never bring your woman out in the first place."
"This town is run by gangs. Everyone in the upper city knowns that." Someone said in the crowd.
"Yusuke! Get me out of here!" Keiko screamed as frantic groups ran to their own hideouts.
"Boss! The gang Unmei is back again!" Everyone looked at him, his gang running little by little.
"Get back here you cowards! It's only-" He was cut off by a grappling hook going threw his chin. Keiko screamed as they guy went limp letting her go as he was dragged by a bike.
"Don't think we should stay here any longer. Let's go." Kurama said helping Yusuke with Keiko as they ran off. Hiei watching the people, "Hn." He dissapeared.
"Yeah hoo! One gang gone! Lets go met the others at the spot." Kitty said ecstaticly, pointing where to go.
"Alright!" Michi zoomed off, their black helmets on securely. They saw people poke their heads out of the curtains and look away in fright.
"We still got it!" Kitty said laughing, "Oh oh! Hit the ramp!" She said with a ear-to-ear grin.
"Right." Michi sped up jumping off the ramp.
"Hey! I found a gang's hideout!" Kitty pointed out.
"Right. Remember it." Chi said as she sped off to the factory.
"Took you guys long enough." Leo said leaning against the now black, with sun roof, sports car.
"Yeah Yeah. We had to help out Keiko. Oh well lets go." Chi said setting down her helmet.
"Ready when you are." Leo replied.
"Righto. Lets go." Kitty agreed.
"Alright. Mr. Explosion. Blow down the doors." Shela ordered.
"Alright. So what's in here?" Chi asked leaning on her bike.
"There's a rumor that there's a stash of cash hidden in there. Don't worry about killing. They're all youkai." Kitty was grabbing her weapon, Sais and throwing stars as she spoke.
"Alrighty. And if there's not. We got to blow up a building!" Chi said smiling as she adjusted her katana.
Crash "Alright It's open!" Dice said smiling as the alarm went off.
The rest raced over there as peopl inside grabbed their weapons. "Not to shaby. Getting cleaner." Chi encouraged as she looked at the damage.
"Alright. Me and Leo-" Shela started.
"Ah Leo and I."
"Whatever. Leo and I will go to theright and Dice and Kitty with go to the left. And Chi. You go threw those double doors." Shela said punching a man as he approached.
"Right." They said together and took off. Leo changed quickly. A silver wolf took his place. This of course freaked the people out, especially when he trashed them, tearing them limb from limb with his muzzle.
Shela ran up the ramp herself changing as Two fuzzy brown ears and two long brown tails dipped in light brown emerged from her...back.She grabbed her rose, a black rose, and snapped it. It's a black vine and as she masacured the people in her way posin escaped threw the vine, killing them instently.
Kitty was having a ok time. She kept mumbling to herself about getting the hardest job. She ran on the ramp, slicing the humans with her claws. She had a black tail that swung playfully as she killed off the demons in her path. Her two black ears flatened against her head as two men grabbed her arms. Going limp in their grip, they loosenedin surprise. She slipped from their grip and flipped back wards, only for them to get impaled with throwing stars.
Dice was having a blast. Human he was, he was a strong human. Slicing the people with his, wakizashis (a dagger just longer), he punched and kicked the others.
Now Chi. This loveable careless, clumsygirl. Was burning people, andlaughing maniacally as they screamed in agony. She then would heat up the fire with a little wind. She was the worst of them all as she sliced threw them with the katana, not caring where their blood splatered. She sliced them with her claws and then finished their bodies off with some fire.
Ah, she loved this.
"Koenma sir. There has been a recent drop in youkais in the downtown area of Tokyo." Ayame said quietly, bowing to the prince.
He sighed, "It's alright." He watched the names on a screen as the youkai were killed off, "They all found a way into Ningenkai without permission."
"Hai sir." She dissapeared.
"What am I going to do with these guys." Koenma said eyeing thefolders. "They're demon exterminators. I guess they could continue. But this Michi." He leaned back in his chair thoughtfully. "I could use a fighter like that. She'll have no choice. She is a assassin in the Makai and Ningenkai."
"Ahhhh!" Chi ran out of the double doors screaming with her hands in the air, catching the gang's attention. "Omph." She tripped over a burnt body.
"What is it?" Leo asked slightly painiced as he helped her up after she fell.
"Nothing. I just knew that would get your attention." She smiled innocently.
Leo got a anger vein. Pow!
"Owww That hurt!" She whinned rubbing the bump on her head, "Oh yeah. I found the money."
"Really!" They alljumped down, "Yeah but it's locked up soI needed Dice."
They all walked into the room, following Chi as she walked down the halls.
5 minutes later.
"Do you know where your going?" Kitty asked, swinging her tail in aggervation.
"Yes...this way!" Chi pointed.
10 minutes later.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! Almost possitive."
"Good with a sword but give her directions and she'll getlost."
15 minutes later.
"We're lost! We're lost! How big is thisbuilding anyways!" Chi screamed with anime tears running down her face as she slumped to the ground.
"Hey. There it is." Kitty said prouncing over to it.
It was a whole stash of it. But it was secured under a container.
"Alright!" Dice said pulling out two small dice. The gang backed up. "What? Hmph." He transfered his energy to them. They glowed purple, "I set it for ten seconds." He set them at the bottom and ran over to the gang who hide behind the corner.
The explosion went off along with a sound of glass shattering. The gang raced over to it and smiled wickedly.
"Did you hear that?" Kurama asked as he looked out the restaurant window. It was getting dark now so less people crowded the streets.
"No."Yusuke said stuffing his face.
"Hn." Hiei watched as sirens went off and police/fire-trucksraced down the street.
A loud noise rang threw the air.
"Whoa. I heard that." Yusuke said looking out. Smoke rose out from a building somewhere, where they just came from.
"Probably just some gang causing havoc." Keiko said nervously.
"Keiko...do you know something?" Kurama asked.
"Uhh. he hee. no. Why would I? Oh! I have to..go to the bathroom." Keiko said getting up and walking towards the bathroom.
The gang ran out to their cars(in human form)as Chi finished off the plan. She was messing with the wires expertly. "Ah!" She was flung back into the trash cans behind her. She stood up withstatic hair she pushed down. She stumbled walking over to her bike.
"Mix them up again?" Dice chuckled as he started his car.
"We gots...whoa...2 minutes." She slipped on her helmet shaking her head. Starting her bike Kitty slipped on behind her, gripping her around the waist. Dice turned up his music so it pounded(bass) making the ground shake. Shela was standing with her upper body out of the sun roof. The money bags where in the back seat.
They took off once they heard the sirens. Going the normal speed for a bit they stopped. They all cheered as the bomb went off. The building went up in flames as smoke clouded the sky.
Michi sped down the streets to get them away from the car, as it went a normal speed to move the attention away.
Chi lost the cops as she moved in front of a semi. "Im starved! You wanna grab a bite!" Chi yelled back.
"Sure! The Usual!" Kitty answered as they swerved out of oncoming traffic.
She slowed the car, going into the alley way beside their fav. restaurant. They changed from their bloodied clothes quickly and brushed their hairthen, they knocked on the back door, well pounded till it opened.
"Hey! My two best costumers. Keiko's eating here with her friends." A man said stepping to the side as they walked in.
"Thanks. We'll have the usual. We'll get our drinks." Chi said grabbing two cups. She tossed one to Kitty and filled hers up. After getting the twisty straws they walked out. Chi went straight to the bathroom. "Keiko! It's your favorite cousin in the whole wide world!"
"Hey Chi. Kitten! How are you?" Keiko said as she sat on the counter.
"Good. How are you Cake?"
Keiko giggled, Kitty gave her that nickname a while ago, "Fine. Now Chi."
"It's not just me. Why don't you scold the rest."
"Fine. Chi and Kitten. You two and the rest, need to really stop-"
"Here." Chi gave her a few hundreds. "Because we know how much pressure it is for you to keep quiet, and for this long I am really surprised."
Keiko sighed, "People like you are the reason people like me need medication." She jumped down, "Come on. Lets eat."
The three girls walked back to the booth. Chi leaned over the booth from the one behind Hiei and Kurama as Kitty did the same just behind the other three.
"Hey guys." Chi said stealing some of Hiei's fries, What is upage my homage?"
"What?" Kuwabara asked with a mouthfull of burger.
"Ewww." Chi gave a disgusted face.
"What is up?" Kitty translated grabbin Yusuke's fries.
"Hey!" Yusuke said, soon guarding his fries as he shoved them down his throat.
Chi looked to her side after feeling a hand placed on her shoulder. It was a man, drunck obviously as he spoke, "Are, you's my wife?" He breath recked of beer.
"Sir, if you were my husband, I would posin your drink." She hit his hand off her shoulder just as he slumped forward, unconsious.
"Get off! Get off! Arg! Guys!" They all just chuckled at her, but Kurama walked over and grabbed his arm, pulling him up.
She glared at them and Kitty jogged over to her table, sitting across from her as their food came. "You know, The more you think about things, the weirder they seem. Take thatmilk." Chi said pointing at it, "Why do we drink cow milk? Who was the guy who first looked at a cow and said, "I think I'll drink whatever comes out of these things when I squeeze 'em!"?"
Chuckles where heard behind her and she turned around sticking her tongue out, "Evesdropping is bad." She turned back to Kitty who just smiled as she sucked down her drink.
They finished their meal after the gang left. "Are you coming over tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Ill walk over." Kitty said as they got on the bike.
Next Day
Michi's parents left yesterday while she was out to go on the business trip. Tomi was out at a friends. Chi was once again leaning over the steps with her guitar laying on her stomach. She was slightly playing it bordly. It must of been around 6 or so. She's been up for about two hours or so. Her friends who be there in two hours give or take a few minutes.
She didn't sleep well last night and her hyperness wore off after a hourof drinking three cups of coffee. She stared at the whole in the wall for sometime. She was in loose black pajama pants and a black spaghetti strap shirt. Her hair brushed and sprawled out down the three steps.
She didn't want to go to sleep. There were few things to scare her but her dream scared her the most. The dream no one knew about. the dream that she never told anyone about. The dream that made her regret one thing.
She sighed and sat up. She rotated her acking neck and crawled over to the house wall. She leaned against it thinking about the terrible dream that plagued her. She played a song to calm her, so she won't have anymore regret today. Especially with the gig coming up tonight.
(Remembering/Dream Sequence)
Crimson Red. Everywhere. That's how it started everytime. And their was this teenager, Michi, squatting with her legs pulled close to her chest, rocking back in forth. The picture cleared as she stood.
The bodies. So many dead bodies just laying in their own pools of blood. Brunt and crisp bodies left to shatter into dust at any given moment.
Smoke. Smoke clogged the scenses of the remaining villagers as they ran franticly. Screaming people, Crying children. Paniced animals running with their tails between their legs.
Flames ingulfed the town in a wild fire that spred to the few close trees.
Nothing scared her more, then the man's gaze. His cold heartless gaze as he laughed. She fell down backing away from the man that was behind her. Inching away he walked closer. His sword dripping with the blood of the villagers. He leaned down close to her-
"Michi..Michi...Are you alright?" Her eyessnapped open as she stopped playing, a cold sweat on her body.
"Oh. Shuichi, Hiei. Im fine. Don't you have school?" Chi asked with a deep breath to calm herself.
"Yes. It starts in a hour though. We heard your music and came over. You looked kind of...paniced, so I decided to wake you."
"Arigato. Gomen. Was I playing to loud?" Chi asked in wonderment.
"No. I always get up this early. Don't you need to get ready for school?"
"Hai, but Im not going today. Im practicing with the others for a gig. You guys should come. It's at the club, Unmei. You'll get in free since you know the band."
"Okay well I have to go." Kurama waved as he walked away to Chi asshe said her goodbyes.
"Hiei?" Chi asked, "Oh. You can stay here today if you want. Or just stop by for lunch. Ill order out because I can't use the oven...or the micowave...or even the toaster." Chi said, confusing herself.
"Hn." Hiei snapped out of his trance with a light red hue that went unnoticed. He walked up her porch and sat on the railing near her, leaning against the house. Chi smiled at him only to make him turn to hide a creeping blush.
Chi decided to softly play on her guitar a little more. Hiei closed his eyes and listened. Thirty-minutes must have passed when she stopped. Hiei opened one eye and looked down at her. She looked thoughtful.
"Hn...Hnnnn...Hmm." She felt a stare and looked up at Hiei slowly. He was staring at her curiously.
"Uh...Hee.. I was just trying it out ya know. Trying something new." A blush creeped to her face as she looked down, mumbling incoherently.
"Hn." Hiei watched her play again, resting in the tune. She screamed as her cell rang, obviously resting as well.
"H-Hello?" She asked taking a deep breath.
"Hey Chi!I can't make it. Neither can the gang.We're sorry. We'll be there tonight. Love ya!"
"Alright. See you tonight. Love ya too. Bye."Chi sighed as she hung up her phone. "Well. They arn't coming. You don't have to hang around but your welcome to come in and make yourself at home. Im going in." Chi stood up, wipping her pants of dirt. Opening the door, Hiei jumped off the railing following after her.
She smiled at him leaving the door open and going to set her guitar down in her room. "Help yourself if your hungry. Ill be back soon."
Yusuke and Kuwabarawere lazily laying around doing absolutly nothing, "Hey Yusuke! Kuwabara" The cheery Botan yelled walking up to the lazy teen, "Koenma needs you guys."
"What does that binky sucking baby want now?" Yusuke asked sitting up.
"Just go there. Hesgot another mission for you four.WellI reallythink he's over doing it. But I have to get Hiei. Kurama's already there." Botan flew off once again.
"Come on. Lets go before he gets cranky." Yusuke pulled himself up, going to the portal to Koenma's.
"Give it." Michi snatched the remote out of Hiei's hands. He growled and snatched it back. So Michi glared at him, snatching it back, flipping the channel. Hiei snatched it back once more putting it in his other hand and moving it over the edge of the couch as he flipped threw the channels, as he set Chinese food that was settingin his lap on the table.
She took a sip of her coke and turned to Hiei. Smiling, she couldn't contain it and spit it at his face. He froze and turned slowly to her, eye twitching. She then jump at him, laying across his lap as she grabbed the remote. Smiling happily she flipped threw the channels as she adjusted herself upright.
"Hey Hiei." She smiled handing him a napkin. He grumbled and took it, wipping his face clean.
"Hiei! You naughty!" Chi said rolling herself off his lap and onto the floor on all fours. She crawled away from him and sat down on the floor watching the t.v happily, as if nothing ever happened.
He glared at her then felt the vibration in his pocket. "Baka Hentai." Hiei said and got up, going into the kitchen. Pulling out his comunicator, it showed Botan.
"Hiei! Come to Koenma's office. We have a mission for you and the others." Hiei's face held a scowl and he walked out, putting the comunicator in his pocket he walked out. Chi stood up, turning off the tv.
"Leaving?" She asked as he grabbed his cloak, slinging it over his shoulder he looked at her. "Obviously. See ya round Spiky. I go get ready for the gig. Hope to see ya'll there." She smirked at him, "Hn." His face seemed normal, rather then his glare or smirk he usually held.
Like when he smirked because Chi fell down the stairs again, then another when shetripped over the rug, and slammed into the couch, then when she flipped overthe couch, also running into the wall with her shoulder as she raced for the phone, when the ice poured out on her from the freezer.One clumsy girl.
"Alright gang. Glad you made it. I have a easy mission I assume." Koenma said once they all gathered.
"Then why do you need all of us?" Yusuke asked aggitated.
"She might put up a fight. I believe she goes to your school Yusuke. It should be easier for you to locate her."
"Who is this person we are supposed to look for?" Kurama asked, polite as always.
"Her name. Michi Usagi. Know her?"
"Yes but she's just a human. Why do you need her?" Kuwabara asked.
"She's no human and she's got some good skill in fighting. It could be useful on the team." Koenma said leaning back.
"So why do we need another team member?" Yusuke asked looking at her file.
"Because you all will need a strong fighter. I need you all to participate in another tournament."
"Hn. " Hiei glared at the toddler.
"Alright." Kurama said, "She'll be at a concert of sort. We can take her afterwards."
"Good. Make sure it's just her."
"Ladies and Gents! How's it going!" Michi's loud and exstatic voice rang threw the speakers as the gang walked in. They saw she was wearing black baggy pants once again just this one had a blue dragon on the right leg. All of them were wearing white shirts that said, "Save the children, Make a Donation."
Michi had a guitar, Dice had the drums, Leo was at a Dj station with a mic, Shela was on another guitar and Kitty had a bass but was standing at the side. They all had ear mics save for Leo.
She waved at them as the crowd cheered, "Alright! We're gunna start off with something, cheerful and whatnot. We're supposed to have these in the songs cause that's what we get paid for. Don't forget to make a donation for those sick children!Then of coursewe'll get to the rock and dance musicthat ya'll like!" Cheers went off as Chi put the mic in the stand.
She walked to her side as Kitty walked up to it. The guitar started it off. (It's the Chobits songs.) (I don't feel like writing all the words on here so go here for the words: http/ Reason to Live

Then,
Song: Let Me Be With You
By: Round Table f/ Nino
Kitty bowed. She had a soft voice that spoke loudly. Going over to the base she positioned herself comfortable.
"Ladies and Gents, round of applause for Kitty!" Screams went off, which embaressed her only with random shouts. "Alright! Anyone want a specific song write it on a piece of paper and set it up here please. Now, what you've all been waiting for! Oh wait. tell me what you want! Who wants to get giggy with it and heat up that dance floor!"
Many cheers were heard, "Who wants to sit back and have their ears blown off with that hardcorerock!" Few cheers where heard.
Chi laughed, "Alright! Get those dance partners for some dirty dancing!"
(Im to lazy to think of my own words)
The gang watched them play and dance, expertly. They even danced some. Hiei sat at the booth drinking his drink watching them. Michi danced while playing the guitar and Hiei stared at her. She seemed so different. Carefree, calm, collect. Then she gets off stage and she's back to her normal clumsy state.
By the night was over they sang,
50cent-Candy Shop-Leo and Michi
Godsmack-Bad Religon- Leo and Dice
Linkin Park- Somewhere I Belong-Leo
Limp Bizkit- Ice Blue Eyes- Leo
Ciara- Oh-Michi and Shela, & Dice
And others Im to lazy to find.
"Whoa! Look it all the money!" Kitty said holding the bag.
"You are going to give that to the childrens funds." Keiko said.
"Of course doll." Dice said, slinging his arm around her.
"Yeah Cake. We already have enough. We'll go there tomorrow." Kittyagreed.
"Hey lovely. How is chillin?" Shela asked with her guitar strapped to her back.
"What?" Yusuke asked as Keiko answered, "Shelly! It's good." They hugged.
"It means How is it going? What is up? How are you?" Kitty translated again, puting her bass guitar in it's case.
"Hmph. I knew that." Yusuke said.
"Right Urameshii." Kuwabara sai as they got into a argument.
Back to Michi and her incident, "Is yourfoot better?" Kurama asked as she laidsprawled out on the booth. Once the people were gone and she packed up her guitar, she tripped down the stairs and twisted her ankle.
"Yeah. It'll be fine. Ow. Hey." She whinned glaring at Kurama who smiled at her.
"Hn. Fine as in it's inextreme pain?or as I need to see a doctor?"
"Fine as in extreme pain but I can suck it up and it'll be better by tomorrow. Hnnnn. Exlamation point, angry face." Michi said to Hiei since he couldn't see her face. "Oh didn't you guys say we had to go somewhere?"
"Hn." Hiei sat back sipping on hhis drink.
"Hai. We'll go in a little bit to give yourfoot more time to rest." Kurama said standing then walking over to the others.
"You know. Justbecause you get free drinks doesn't mean you need to order a whole truck full!" Chi yelled at him, looking at all the cups that filled thetable.
"So. There free." Hiei said stubburnly. "Ow! Baka!"
The gang looked over to see a triumphant Chi while Hiei rubbed his leg. "Well see you guys later." Chi's gang left with Keiko, saying they would take her home.
"You guys ready?" Kurama asked smiling as Hiei mumbled inchoherently.
"Yeah yea-Baka! Why don't you throw it across the floor next time." Michi said, glaring at a dumbfounded Kuwabara as he just slung her guitar across his back.
"Lets go." Yusuke said walking out the door with Kuwabar by his side.
"Can you walk?" Kurama asked, helping her from the booth.
"Ill be alright." She glared at Hiei who was about to say something but closed his mouth. She rotated her foot a bit before walking out following Kurama with Hiei on her side.
"Soo. We can come back for my bike. Right?" She asked letting a yawn escape her mouth.
"Yes. We'll be back to get it. But Leo chained it up for you." Kurama answered.
"Alrighty." Chi answered.
It had been about ten minutes and they started walking threw the park's forest. Chi was slowing down quickly with a limp not making it any better. Her head bobbed as she walked. Stumbling occasionally she would jolt awake.
Hiei kept galncing back at her, "Uh..mm Hiei."
"What?" He asked watching her.
"How much...further?" Chi asked walking over tree roots.
"A little further onna." Hiei stopped as she walked up to him.
"Good." She fell forwards this time with closed eyes. Hiei caught her quickly. "Fox. What's wrong?"
"Hmm." Kurama jogged over as Hiei turned her so her peaceful face was leaning into his arm. "Seems she is asleep. She was up earlier this morning, ne?"
Kurama stood up and started to walk, "I suggest you carry her. Ill open the portal and Yusuke might hit her on something."
"Hn." Hiei grabbed her bridal style and started walking after the boys, glancing down at the girl resting peacfully, her head resting on his shoulder. A blush crossed Hiei's face as her warm breath hit his neck, making him breath slightly faster.
She stirred. Rubbing her eyes she felt what she was laying. It was couch. But she opened her eyes and looked around, only to scream in pure distress.
