The next morning, Alexis didn't realize that someone was trying to wake her, until she stretched out her arm, and whacked whoever it was in the nose.
"Ouch!" she heard a recognizable voice say.
"Oh, no, Kurama, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize you were waking me up, are you okay?" Alexis said, trying not to laugh.
Kurama rubbed the place where his nose got hit, earning a little blood but nothing serious, he looked cross-eyed double checking the damage, that's the reason why Alexis was trying not to laugh. He looked over at her and replied
"Yes I'm fine-what's so funny?"
"You don't want to know, anyway why are you waking me up?" Alexis answered
"Because Koenma's letting us leave now, and come back if anything else happens." Kurama replied
"Good I was getting tired of this place, and not have Tameo and Kiki to talk to, uh no offense to you guys, I mean it's good to have you around but, I can be a little more um, unusual you might say, around those two."
"So I've noticed, anyway get ready, and I'll meet you downstairs for breakfast, then we'll leave."
Alexis nodded, and watched as Kurama left her room. She didn't see any point on getting anything together, but decided she had better clean up. Alexis was grateful that Koenma had been able to get them back to the human world in so little of time, but she couldn't help but feel that maybe going back there at the moment wasn't such a good idea. Oh well, Alexis thought sighing and pinning her hair up, what'll come will come, I'm just glad that I know how to use my powers that way I don't see anyone get hurt by needless bloodshed.
Alexis was about to head down, when she suddenly felt weak, her world began to sway, then the pain that was in her side, like a constant reminder, hurt worse than anytime before. She was down on all fours, feeling horribly sick to her stomach, breathing hard, then as suddenly as it came it stopped. Alexis's world began to come back into focus, but slowly, she got up and headed to the bathroom mirror.
Looking back at her was someone who was scared, pale, and downright confused. It's never hit me this hard, she thought, why now, why now? Alexis began to walk towards the door when her body felt like it was engulfed in flames, the pain was becoming to much for her to handle, and she screamed. Alexis felt like fainting, but she got up, and walked to the door, realizing that her body was covered in electricity and blood. She made to the end of the hall where the staircase was before going into blackness.
Kurama, and the others, heard Alexis's scream and went to check it out, he was the first one out the door to the kitchen, and the first to see Alexis falling down the stairs, luckily Hiei, seeing the severity of this, caught her, seeing as to Kurama was not as quick as he (a/n-of course none of them are, and don't get the wrong idea, Hiei now has a deep respect for Alexis.). Kurama examined the wounds on Alexis's body, "These are no ordinary cuts, Yusuke, you and Kuwabarra take a look in her room, Hiei help me, would you."
"Hn. Does it look like I have a choice?" Hiei replied
Yusuke and Kuwabarra did as they were told, they looked around but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. About to leave and report to Kurama and Hiei about their not finding anything, something caught Yusuke's eye. He turned to look and the edge of the door, where he found some strange parchment.
"Kuwabarra, take a look at this." Yusuke said
"Hey, those look like some strange seals that priests and priestesses use." Kuwabarra said
"How the heck do you know that?" Yusuke asked
"My sister." Kuwabarra replied simply.
"Yeah well, let's go tell Kurama." Yusuke said and headed back downstairs.
Meanwhile, Kurama had Alexis's wounds doctored up, but she was still unconscious, and running a fever, Hiei sat by the window, looking unconcerned even though he was. What could've done this to her, Kurama thought, I certainly hope this doesn't have anything to do with what Koenma told me.
Alexis's breathing was shallow, and she was still in a lot of pain, she didn't have any clue what happened. It was as if she had lost her original state of mind, because she knew that someone had helped her, and was putting a cold cloth on her forehead every now and then, but all she could see was darkness.
Yusuke and Kuwabarra walked in and told Kurama of the seals. Kurama looked like he was about to kill anything that stood in his way when he heard about it, it surprised even Hiei, but again being the never-show-much-emotion-guy didn't show it.
"Show them to me," Kurama said, following Yusuke, when he saw the seals he recognized them as demon seals, but not just any demon, how in the world did these get here, he thought, I didn't see them when I came to wake her earlier, and why would they affect her, unless she really is a-Koenma would know, wouldn't he?, he turned to Yusuke and said, "Call Koenma immediately."
Yusuke nodded, did as he was told, Kurama was as confused as ever, he had that dream again, last night, then this happens, gees I don't know if she can keep this up.
Alexis was now in dream world, and was having a very disturbing dream, her parents were fighting demons, and she couldn't do anything to help them, because a strange man had a hold on her, he was shouting something to them, then the scene changed to a dark room, Alexis was strapped to a chair, the person in front of her said,
"Where is it, Alexandra, tell me."
"I'll never tell you." Alexis heard herself reply "And for the last time it's Alexis!"
The person backhanded her, while saying, "You'll do well to tell me where the key is, I all ready tortured those friends of yours, and I have a little insurance that you'll tell me."
A light appeared, Kurama was there, fazing in and out of his human and demon form, he was shackled.
"You wouldn't dare, he has done nothing to deserve this!" Alexis said
"Well you'd better tell where the key is then." he replied
"I can't tell you want I don't know." Alexis stated, that earned a smirk from the person.
"It's your choice," the person replied, snapping his fingers, lightning then hit Kurama.
"Kurama, NO!" Alexis shouted
The dream faded, and she felt someone shaking her, Alexis's eyes flew open and she had a spirit arrow to the persons throat, then she it realized it was Koenma. He was looking at the spirit arrow, got freaked out and fell backwards twitching.
"Oh, I'm sorry Koenma, I didn't mean to scare you that badly, you just surprised me." Alexis said sitting up, a cloth fell to her lap.
"Stay laying down, you still haven't broken your fever." Kurama said, stepping towards her.
"Kurama!" Alexis half-shouted, throwing her arms around his neck, and crying into his chest.
Kurama was completely taken by surprise, but nonetheless he hugged Alexis and began calming her down, by rubbing her head. The funny thing of it was, Alexis was beginning to feel really sleepy, being rubbed on the head like that. Whether or not it was just coincidence or a technique that Kurama used, she didn't know but Alexis soon fell a sleep.
"How'd you do that?" Yusuke asked
"I don't know, really, just came to mind I guess." Kurama replied, he still didn't think it was safe to tell any of them about his dream, but he suspected that Alexis was actually a half demon.
"Ouch!" she heard a recognizable voice say.
"Oh, no, Kurama, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize you were waking me up, are you okay?" Alexis said, trying not to laugh.
Kurama rubbed the place where his nose got hit, earning a little blood but nothing serious, he looked cross-eyed double checking the damage, that's the reason why Alexis was trying not to laugh. He looked over at her and replied
