Vanessa is staring over my shoulder. T.T I can't write like that. It makes me feel…fidgety. Ah the wonders of Microsoft Word. Sadly I don't have it anymore but that's besides the point…Vanessa is whining cause the room is freezing. We are at Nissi's at the last sleepover of the summer and we went out and vandalized the playground's spongy tile things with crayon. We wrote things…and drew outlines of people like they do at crime scenes. It was fun. Wow…that was long.

Chapter Seven

It is snowing. Hard. Much harder than it did the first--or second--day of Christmas Break when they were trapped in a store. It snows so hard that by the time that the Destinies stare out of the window an hour later, all they see is white. Pure, blissful white. Their faces light up expectantly as Touya rushes to the door and yanks it open, revealing a wall of white. Their first impulse is to shout "SNOW DAY!" but as there is no school, they don't bother.

"It looks like we're not going to be shopping today…" Jin murmurs to Touya and Malia, who nod in agreement.

"Nope," Nissi informs them, "we're going to dig a tunnel."

"EH?"

"Dig a tunnel and see if we can't find where it ends."

"…"

Nissi beams at them and holds up a few snow shovels. She tosses them neatly at the other Destinies' feet; they pick them up quickly. With shouts of joy the Destinies advance quickly on the tunnel that starts at their front door when Kurama suddenly appears out of nowhere and blocks their paths. They recoil instantly, positioning their sharp shovels anywhere but at Kurama.

"Kurama!" they whine at him.

"I'm all for you guys going out on some crazy adventure," he calmly explains after suppressing a few yawns. "Mostly because it will keep you from destroying the house. But think: it's five in the morning. You're dressed in nothing but flimsy pajamas and you want to go out and dig through the snow?"

"…" The Destinies ponder this thought for a moment, then nod weakly.

Their energy destroyed for the moment they trek back upstairs to their individual rooms and change into nice, warm, decent clothes for Kurama. When they come back down he is gone, and a note is left in his place. It reads:

If you manage to find a store, buy some ice-cream. We're out and Hiei's losing it. Money's on the table. Thank you.

--Kurama

The Destinies stare at the note blankly. Ice-cream? It's freaking twenty below zero outside and our precious Hiei wants ice-cream. "They'll think we're freaking crazy…let's go!" They grab the money and rush out the door, shovels in hand. Scoop by scoop they relocate the snow from its nice tunnel wall to a messy pile on the recently cleaned floor. And the pile keeps getting bigger and bigger as they go farther and farther threw. At one point the Destinies all decide to split up. Their breath freezes in the air as they choose a partner--one group with three--and branch off into different parts of their newly formed tunnel. Meagan, Vanessa, and Nissi go one way and Olivia and Malia go the other. The walls are tightly packed, due to all the pressure that is probably above them. They are smooth to the touch though slightly wet, and clammy.

"I wonder…how far up does this thing go?" Malia wonders, looking at Olivia sweetly.

Olivia instantly notices the look, "Oh no. Not me."

"Please, Olivia? You're taller; I'm smaller. It just works that way."

"But you're heavy!"

"Not that heavy!"

Olivia raises her eyebrows at her questioningly. Malia thinks it over for a second before shrugging in an "I don't care" fashion and flashing her friend the puppy eyes. Argument over. Olivia hoists Malia on her back, trying her hardest not to drop her. Not like she would really care if she did. The pressure on her shoulders is killing her.

Using her hands (a/n: More like claws. Some of the scars she gave me from seventh grade are just starting to disappear.) she digs out several spots for her feet and hands to grasp and pulls herself up. Olivia waits until she is a reasonable height up before materializing her cloud and starting up to the tunnel above, stopping when she reaches the first foot-hole.

Meanwhile, in the other part of their tunnel Meagan, Vanessa, and Nissi seem to be reaching one of the many hills in their front yard as they continue heading uphill for quite a while. But this hill is too big to be in the front yard. Unknowingly though, they trek on ready for some adventure. And they find it as soon as Vanessa's shovel ricochets of a very large rock.

Or is it a rock? As the three crowd in closer and dig around the supposed rock with their mittened hands, they discover it not to be a rock but…a demon skeleton. Paling until they are as white as the snow around them the three let out a blood-curdling scream unheard by anyone else but themselves. And as they stand there pointing and screaming for a few minutes, Nissi finally yanks herself out of her scare, becoming angry.

"It's Winter Break! No demons are allowed to come crashing in on us when it's Winter Break."

Meagan stops screaming also, "Not like they care. Vanessa, stop screaming."

"There are spiders on this skeleton!"

0.o Quiver, quiver, gulp. Meagan and Vanessa back away as several very large and very creepy spiders crawl from the holes in the bones and stare at them with several creepy eyes. Then, grabbing Nissi by the wrist they shimmy up the tunnel despite the fact that I really don't know how they do it. Desperation makes you do crazy things.

Scurrying up so fast they could break a world record the three make it to the top before they even knew that they went up. As they breathe the fresh, spider free air of above they turn and see the view. It is breathtaking. Apparently the tunnel, if they kept digging, would extend all the way to the city limits on the far other side. They could dig all day and not have enough tunnels to get to everywhere.

The sun peaks over the horizon, giving the snow a healthy pinkish tint. And, ten or eleven feet above ground, the three Destinies are treated to the wonderful sight of the largest amount of snow ever seen in one sitting. They stare, mouth agape, in wonder. But they are soon pulled out of their wondering as Olivia and Malia pop out from a hole. Then the screaming resumes.

"Cut it out!"

Olivia and Malia block their ears as the screaming continues for a moment more, then dies out.

"Um…could you help us out of the hole…please?"

"Oh, right!"

The three heave Malia out first, then move on to Olivia. And just as they are wiping themselves free of the snow that has managed to cling to them, Botan comes flying in on her oar. She is easy to spot, with her Christmas kimono and bubblegum blue hair.

"Hi!"

"BOTAN!"

The Destinies scramble on her, dragging her down into the snow. She shrieks and dislodges herself from her chaotic friends. She looks in dismay at her ruined Christmas kimono--the one she had worked all year on making the juice stains from last Christmas with the boys go away (Yusuke had spilled it on her.) which is now wet and soggy--then back up at her friends smiling faces and forgives them instantly. Then she packs a snowball in her hands and whaps it at Meagan's face. It is on.

With wild whoops of happiness the Destinies and Botan do many an assorted things over four hours: had snowball wars--Botan joining Olivia and Malia--, made snow angels, the biggest snowman they'd ever seen, and come up with yet another devious plot. And they are about to put that devious plot into affect right…now.

"Here, Hiei!" The six hold out to Hiei a pan full of snow. It is yellow. "We found some snow for you to eat."

Flashback

"Where's the food coloring?" Meagan whispers as she teleports them quietly into the kitchen while Olivia holds the pan of snow. Vanessa rummages through the cabinets until she finds the tiny, tiny packet on the highest shelf of the last cabinet.

"Figures…" she mutters as she pulls out the yellow.

Laughing maniacally the Destinies watch happily as the once white snow turns a nasty, vile, putrid yellow. Exactly like pee. Mwahahaha…

End Flashback

Hiei's eye twitches, "Onnas…you are sick!"

"No we're not, Hiei!" Vanessa takes a handful of the snow and shoves it in her mouth. "Mmm!"

Following suit, the others grab a handful and stuff their faces full of the yellow snow. Hiei's face contorts in disbelief, pain, and disgust. First his face pales dangerously, then he flushes twenty different shades of red and pink, then his face changes to a pale shade of green. Clutching his stomach, he twists and runs quickly out of the room. They can hear him retching in a toilet three rooms down. They laugh. Yusuke enters from the hallway, looking concerned.

"What was Hiei doing in the bathroom?"

They shrug, "Puking. And all we did was eat some snow in front of him. Want some?"

"Sure!"

Yusuke prepares to dip his hand in the half full pan but recoils when he notices the vile color. And before his eyes the six girls dip their hands, once again, in and take a huge slurp. His eyes widen, his mouth hangs open, and he turns and runs out on them. Kurama walks in looking suspicious.

"And what are you six doing?"

"Nothing. We're just…eating snow."

Kurama peers at the pan, "You are sick."

"It's just colored," they protest, holding up the now half-empty bottle.

Kurama sighs deeply and moves off, too tired to be arguing this early in the morning. The Destinies devour the rest of the colored snow as another devious plot comes to mind. This time they go back outside in search of real yellow snow. It is very hard to find, considering most people probably haven't been near the top and they had to do a little digging but they found it.

Moving back into the toasty warm kitchen they find the white food coloring and quickly dump the contents of the little bottle into the pan of yellow snow until it is pure, pure, white. Not a speck of yellow. As it happens, Kuwabara just walks in on them. They hold the pan out.

"We've been giving snow out, Kuwabara. We've given some to Yusuke, to Hiei, to Kurama--and now it's your turn!"

Grinning at their thoughtfulness he takes the pan of snow--it's actually only half filled--and downs it in one. For a moment he is fine. The Destinies have never witnessed someone's face go from fine to yellow to green to purple to white and then running out to the bathroom all under 1.2 seconds. A new world record.

And as they listen they hear furious shouts coming from the bathroom that Hiei had entered and soon the noise of two people puking their guts out. But then the deed is done and the girls go back to their "regular" lives. Basically plotting more evil.

To: Nissi and Meagan--I wrote this and posted this when you were asleep. Vanessa's idea!

Fin! Ah, it's nice to see how many pages I've written. Props:

First, the food colored snow to trick Hiei and Yusuke--thanks to Vanessa

Second, to the part where we do that evil thing to Kuwabara--thanks to Vanessa again.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD THAT I DID NOT WILLINGLY POST THOSE FOUR CHAPTERS AT ONE TIME. NERIEDE CHANGED MY PASSWORD AND THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT BACK WAS IF I POSTED THEM ALL. (steams)
