Me: Spatial, you have some MAJOR issues. I stress major. And if you must know, the wedding is in part two of this four part series. And to all the people who say that Nikki is cool, thanks. Cause I'm Nikki. It's a nickname my friends gave me. They called me that after Mrs. Anders(my 5th grade science and writing teacher) started calling me that.

Sarra: No duh.

Me: Shut up Sarra! You've known me since 4th grade and they haven't, so I hardly think that they would know that unless they read my bio.

Shiri: Touchy, aren't we?

Me: No, it's just after Thanksgiving and I feel like I got the crap kicked outta me.

Raiel: Don't worry, there's always a silver lining.

Me: How?

Raiel: Well, for one thing, you don't own any anime mentioned in this fic or Shonen Jump.

Me: -- That's supposed to be a silver lining?

Raiel: And, you have me.

Me: That's supposed to be a silver lining-I mean, yeah, I guess I do.

Raiel: (all happy)


After the whole Happy Birthday incident, and a few more rounds of curses from Nikki, Genkai yelled at everyone to get to bed. Nikki and Raiel shared one room. Sarra had the room that was right across from Hiei's tree. Andie and Jounouchi shared a room and Spatial had a room in between Kurama's and Nikki's. There was a door connecting Spatial's room, Nikki's, and, on the other side of Spatial's room, Kurama's. A door also connected Andie's, and Sarra's room. On the other side of Kurama's room was Jenni's, Alex's, and Jason's room.

"Hey Spatial." Nikki said changing into a pair of shorts and an oversized T-shirt.

"Hm?"

"Wanna know your Latin name?"

"No."

"Too bad. It's spatium."

"How interesting."

"I know."

"What's your real name?"

"Nichole."

"Let's see, that's Greek for victorious armies or peoples."

"Woohoo!" Nikki falls back on the bed.

"Can I take these things off now?" Raiel was standing in the corner, his arms crossed, with five layers of blindfolds over his eyes, including Hiei's bandanna.

"Huh?" Nikki looks back at him, "Oh, yeah." He takes the blindfolds off and chucks(God I love that word) Hiei's out the window. Nikki reaches over and opens up her backpack(bet cha forgot about that.) and takes out her CD player and CD case. She takes out a CD and puts on her headphones.

"Can I borrow one?"

"Sure." she throws the case to Spatial who takes out her own CD player from her own backpack.

"Dum,da da dum,da da da, dum da da dum da da da da da." Raiel could hear the heavy metal guitar through Nikki's headphones, "Well I walk into the room, passin out hundred dollar bills and it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grill. And I buy the bar a double round of Crown and everybody's gettin down and this town, ain't never gonna be the same." Nikki catches her CD case as Spatial tosses it back to her, "Cause I saddle up my horse, and I ride into the city. And I make a lot of noise cause the girls they are so pretty. Ridin up and down Broadway on my home studly Roy and the girls say 'Save a horse, Ride a cowboy' everybody says 'Save a horse, ride a cowboy."

"God woman, SHUT UP!" Sarra yells.

"BITE ME!" Nikki yells back. She slams the door shut.

"Night Spatial."

"Night." Spatial puts her headphones. Nikki plops down on the bed and heaves a sigh. Raiel settles down in the corner. (Think Kenshin style. Spatial, if you don't know that style, I'll go to wherever you live and kill you with my own bare hands. Heck, If I didn't know that style, I'd kill me too.)

"You gonna stay like that all night?"

" I don't sleep on beds."

"Why not?"

" I need to sleep light."

"Oh, I get it. It's the whole assassin thing, isn't it?"

"No, I am not an assassin. I just need to protect you."

"Sure." Nikki puts her headphones back on and falls asleep.

In Sarra's Room....

"God Hiei, don't you get cold at night?"

"Hn."

"Is that all you can say?"

"Hn."

"Oh, gonna be like that huh?" Sarra climbs out onto his tree, "Hiei, talk to me."

"........."

"The least you could do is talk to me after the way you treated me."

"The way I treated you?"

"Haha, got ya talking."

"I loathe you onna."

"I know." Sarra climbs back into bed, "Night Hiei. Don't let the bed bugs bite!" Sarra switches off the light.

Andie's and Jounouchi's Room.....

"Sporks." Andie says.

"Gawd woman, just shadd up about da stinkin sporks already!" Jounouchi yells.

"SHUT UP PERIOD!" Jenni yells from across the hall.

"SPORKS!"

"SHUT UP!!" everybody in the temple yells.

Alex, Jason, and Jenni's room.....

"Cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese."

"Shut up about the (censored) cheese already. God. Some of us need to sleep ya know."

"We know." Alex mutters from the floor.

"Would you shut up?!?"

"Cheese."

"BOTH OF YOU!"

With Shiri.....

"God dangit." she mutters as she trips over a root, "These things are giving me such a freaking hard time." Yup, she was out patrolling the temple grounds.

In Nikki's Dream...... (I have dreams?)

"Um, hello?" Nikki called out into the darkness. She trips over her toga.

"Dangit, what is it with the author and costume change?" she mutters to herself. Everything was pitch black. She couldn't even see two feet in front of her.

"Dude, this better not be the lemon dream about Sesshoumaru and Kagome I had. Again."

"I assure you it's not."

"What the-?" Nikki turns around and sees Naraku in front of her, "Oh hi. Wait, oh my god."

"Yes, you guessed it, I am Naraku."

"Crap." She closed her eyes and opened them again. Naraku was gone.

"Weird."

"Point one, never close your eyes when your enemy is on the offense." Nikki turns around and he punches her in the gut. She grunts and heaves herself up, coughing up a little blood.

"Tell that to the Buckeyes." she mutters. Naraku lets out that annoying laugh of his. (Gawd I hate that.)

"Just as spunky as when we last met."

"Huh?"

"No time to explain now, Koshii(1)" he cups his hand under her chin, lifting her eyes to meet his, "I must go."

"And don't come back." Naraku laughs and vanishes from sight.

Normal World....

Nikki bolts up in bed, cold beads of sweat dripping down her forehead. Sunlight spilled out over the carpet of her bedroom, signifying that it was day. Nikki rubs her eyes and stretches.

"Man what a dream." she says.

"Pray tell." Nikki lets out a scream and falls out of the bed.

"My....god....Raiel. Don't do that! I swear, freaking me out must be a new Olympic sport or something."

"Hardly. Come on, breakfast is ready." Nikki yawns and heads toward the kitchen, flipping Raiel off along the way.

"Minna-san Ohayo!(2)" she says.

"Nikki-chan Ohayo.(3)" Sarra says back. Nikki sits down and is about to dig into a plate of pancakes when Genkai whips it out from underneath her.

"You suck Genkai."

"Wounds now, breakfast later."

"How about a song?" Nikki shakes her head, "Sarra, if I ever do that again, slap me."

"Gotcha."

"Without the math book this time."

"You take all the fun out of it." Genkai examines all of Nikki's wounds.

"They're all healing quite nicely. The gash on your stomach will scar though."

"Of course." Genkai runs a hand over Nikki's gut and she winces.(Nikki, not Genkai.)

"Strange, that bruise wasn't here before. Care to explain?"

"Eh, heh, well, you see, it's a long story."


Me: Six pages!

Sarra: Six pages!

Me: Yeah, six pages!

Sarra: Hey goth boy, six pages!

Hiei: I know.

Me: Six pages!

Inu-yasha: Shut up about the six pages already!"
