Chapter three
Lenni and Liz had long since been thrown into a gross little cell. The floor was cold and kind of wet, and the walls were covered in something green. It was cold, hard and very uncomfortable.
(E/n: yes, tis my job to overly describe things…hehe)
Liz had been trying for the last half hour to reach Kurama through telepathic talking. It wasn't working…
Liz- Damn it, I can't find Kurama…Youko's mind is like a maze!
Lenni- For the sake of our sanity, TRY HARDER!!!
Liz- I AM! DAMMIT!
Lenni- do you think its cuz Youko is way all the way down the hall that you can't probe his mind as effectively…?
Liz- no… (forced calm)…it isn't.
Lenni- What??? (mock hurt voice)
Liz- Oh, forget it…I'll try again…
Lenni- Okay.
Liz- (probes into Youko's mind again. This time she finds Kurama, but there is a barrier around him.)
Lenni- any luck?
Liz- Well…I found him…
Lenni- Yay!
Liz- Problem is there's a barrier around him, I can't break through it to get to him…
Lenni- oh…great.
Liz- Damn it…
Lenni- should I try then?
Liz- If you want to…
Lenni- kay…OOOOOOMMMM!!!
Liz- …
Lenni- RRRG! MMMMM!
Lenni continued like that for a good five minutes, Liz watching with a look between amusement and baffled on her face. Then Lenni looked up, having just remembered something.
Lenni- I just remembered something, Hanyou-sama.
Liz- That being…?
Lenni- I can't probe minds!
Liz- You just realized this?
Lenni- yep!
Liz- Hey! I've gotta idea! Hold up a sec. (goes back to probing Youko's mind)
(E/n: probing minds is completely painless; in fact, there is no feeling to it at all. So, your mind could be being probed right now, and you'd have no idea! That's why Youko isn't reacting to all this going in and out of his mind…kay?)
Lenni- Well, I don't know what you're doing, but I know that I can break barriers. I offer my services…
Liz- but, you can't probe minds…we already accomplished this fact.
Lenni- I know, I know, but I can use your probe to go into Youko's mind.
Liz- I'm confused…
Lenni-It's sorta like taking my conciseness and making it go through the probe you're using, so it can go into Youko's mind. There, I can dis-erect the barrier.
Liz- wow, so you do have an intelligent side.
Lenni- do you want my help, or not?
Liz- yes…
Lenni closed her eyes, and began to detach her consciousness and make it to go into Youko's mind. After about three minutes of the girls combined efforts, Lenni looked up.
Lenni- okay, try to get through now.
Liz- okay… (tries again)……Yes! I got through!
Lenni- Yay!
Liz worked for a moment more, before a misty outline began to form in front of them. This misty outline was Kurama. Just, having to body to reside in, he was kind of like a spirit. He was see-through, and floated an inch or two above the ground.
Liz- Kurama-sama!!!
Lenni- Kurama-kun! Wai!
Lenni, being the over eccentric fangirl, was instantly on her feet. She tried to glomp Kurama, but wound up going right through his not solid form and into the wall on the other side.
Lenni- owowowowowowowow…that hurt…
Liz- heh heh heh…
Lenni- YOU SHUT UP, BAKA HANYOU CHIJIN!
Liz- no 'sama' at the end?
Lenni- no.
Liz- awww, how come?
Lenni- Cuz you don't deserve it!
Liz- fine then…
Kurama stood off to the side, a look of complete confusion on his face.
(E/n: I must be tired; I almost wrote 'a look of complete confusion on his feet' I need to get more sleep…)
Liz had then burst out fake-sobbing, yelling that Lenni hated her. The argument continued…
Lenni- yes, I hate you, Hanyou, whatever. But that isn't the point. The point is that I CAN'T GLOMP KURAMA-SAMA!!! (burst into tears)
Liz-…but how are we gonna get Kurama-san back into his body?
Lenni- um…?
Kurama- By getting Youko here.
Liz- meaning…?
Kurama- If I can get back into his mind and gain control, I can take my body back…
Lenni- What if you can't get control?
Youko- You will NEVER get control of MY body! Muwahahahahaha!
Liz- Baka kitsune…
Lenni- When did he get here?
Liz- He was always here.
Lenni- Really? …wow…
Youko- YES, BAKA ONNA!
Lenni- Gomen, I'm kinda out of it…
Liz- no kidding… but you aren't the only one…
Lenni- no…?
Liz- I have a MAJOR HEAD ACHE HERE!!! Did you think probing kitsune's mind here would come without side effects?! Sheesh!
There was a brief silence, in which Youko eyed everyone form the other side of the iron bars of the cell, Kurama stood off to the side, looking more than confused. Lenni and Liz sat on the floor, gazing up at the two demons. And the water falling from the ceiling went drip, drip, drip! Then Lenni broke the silence,
Lenni- Well, Kurama-sama, it's now or never! GO GO GO GO GO GO GO!!!!
Liz- Len, you should be a coach when you grow up…
Lenni- humph.
Liz- Whaaaaaaaaaat???
Lenni- I'm offended!!!
Liz- Gomen, Lenni-san…
Lenni- Whatever…hey, where'd Kurama go?
Liz- You told him to 'GO GO GO GO GO GO GO' remember?
Lenni- Yea, but I expected at least a hesitation…
Liz- Kurama wouldn't be scared to go into his own mind, Len.
Lenni- oh, yea, that's right! I'm the one who hesitates! Whoops!
Liz- yup…
Youko- WHAT THE HELL?!?!!
Lenni- AWG! WHAT???
Youko- something…someone…inside my…nng, inside…m-my head…!
Liz- you're stuttering.
Lenni- That means Kurama-sama is winning! (Takes out green and silver pompoms and starts cheering) GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KURAMA!
Liz- (joins her, then stops, grimacing…) Ow, headache…damn it all…
Youko- …groan…!
Liz- next time, Lenni, you save Kurama, not me.
Lenni- gladly!
Liz- good.
Lenni- Hey, look, poor Youko-kun fell onto the floor cuz Kurama-sama is probing into his mind too hard! Poor kitsune-sama…sniff…
Liz- Oh, joy…
The two girls watched for a moment more, everything was as silent as could be expected.
Lenni- Do you think that Kurama has control yet?
Liz- Most likely…
Lenni- (Points at Youko who is kneeling on the floor) then how come Youko-kun is still here…?
Youko (Kurama) - because I took his body over…
(E/n: what we mean by this, is that it's Youko's body, sept' Kurama is in control of it)
Liz- YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!
Lenni- It worked! Now, let us out Kurama-sama.
Liz- Hey, wait! What about Hiei?
Lenni- What about him?
Liz- He'll kill us if we escape!
Youko (Kr) - I think he and the others went out on a victory massacre…or something like that…
Liz- I see… well, won't they be surprised…
Lenni- Won't they just!
Liz- Zip it! Here they come!
As she said this, footsteps began to echo down the halls. Then, Hiei and Touya materialized from the shadows.
Liz- HIDE!
Lenni- okay. (ducks behind Liz)
Liz- NOT BEHIND ME YOU IDIOT!
Lenni- oh…how come?
Liz- One, they'll recognize me. Two, we're sitting her out in the open. And three…uh, tell me when you think of three…
Lenni- Okay…but where should we hide.
Liz- We—
Lenni- NO! WAIT! I'VWE GOT IT!
Liz- oh you now…?
Lenni- (Takes one of the tiles on the floor and puts it on her head) I'M COMPLTELY INVISIBLE!
Liz- You're as idiotic as Kuwabaka…
Lenni- arigat—HEY!!!
Liz- (falls over laughing)
Lenni- IT IS NOT FUNNY! TAKE THIS! AND THAT! (begins to kill Liz)
Liz- ouch! Ow! Okay! STOPPIT!
Lenni- ok!
Liz- jeez, learn to have a little fun…
Lenni- you're right, he should… (points at Hiei)
Hiei- SHUT UP!!
Youko (kr)- (sweatdrop)
Liz- MAKE ME, HIEI! JUST MAKE ME SHUT UP!!!
Hiei- dragon…
Liz- eep! OK! I'M QUIET!
Hiei- (smirking) hn.
Liz- (looks over to Lenni) do you still have your tamogatchi?
(A/n: tamogatchi is pronounced tom-o-got-chi, just in case u don't know how to pronounce it.
Lenni- My WHAT??
Liz- Never mind…I'll use my own…
Lenni- What??
Liz- ugh, they're those little annoying virtual pet thingies that you create and raise… they're really stupid, but right now, they may come in handy.
Lenni- OHHHHHH! Okay, here is mine.
Lenni reached in her pocket, removing a small computerized gadget. It was blue and had yellow buttons on it.
Liz took the tamogatchi from her friend and began to push buttons.
Tamo- BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Lenni- what are you doing?
Liz- (Smirking) you'll see… (begins to reprogram it) Okay, finished. Now shall we play a game with our little Tamo?
Lenni- its name is KISHO!
Liz- whatever… (pushes buttons)
Lenni- (watching in stunned silence) o.O
It seemed as if Liz had programmed the Tamogatchi to control demons. And right now, her sights were set on Hiei. She kept her eyes to the screen of the computerized gadget and pushed buttons furiously.
Liz- told you it would come in handy!
Lenni- never doubted you for a second, Hanyou-sama!
Liz- Now you try,
Lenni- okay! (takes her tamo back and begins to play fetch with it.) YAY! I GET TO CONTROL TOUYA!!
Liz- (Takes her tamo out, makes the same adjustments and continues to control Hiei)
Hiei- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO ME???
Lenni- Heh heh…
Liz- uh-oh…
Lenni- what? Out of batteries?
Liz- No, I got extras anyways.
Lenni- THEN WHAT???
Liz- I was just worrying about what ridiculous thing you're gonna make Touya do…
Lenni- Don't even get me started… hehe
Liz- don't worry, I won't…
Lenni- (uses Touya to fetch the keys to the cell) HAHAHAHAHAH! FEAR ME MORTALS!!
Liz- you're getting ahead of yourself.
Lenni- I am…?
Liz- yes. You aren't ruling the world just yet… so save the evil laughter for then.
Lenni- oh, oops…eh heh heh heh…
Liz- anyway, please continue.
Lenni- I have the keys now!
Liz- finally!
Lenni- Let's see, where's the unlock button thingy?
Liz- right there… (pushes the open/close button)
Lenni- okay, that works!
The Tamo beeped and Touya unlocked the door of the cell, allowing Lenni and Liz to come out.
Lenni- Great! We're home free!
Liz- But what about the rest of the demons…?

E/n: we just love doing cliffies! I'll bet the reviewer people hate it, though.
A/n: No kidding.
E/n: And if you're wondering why you're hearing so much from me and not Hanyou, it's because she has zero part in re-writing this from an AIM conversation and turning it into story format. So, I'm the one making comments.
A/n: I'll kick her out if you want!
E/n: Hanyou…
A/n: --runs away for her life--
