Chapter 6: roofs
It was the end of the long week everyone was having and somehow Botan and the guys had been invited to Jackie's house to hang out.
"Oh this is great! If we keep this up we'll have that barrier down in no time!" Botan was skipping towards Jackie's house with the guys just staring at her.
"Hey, exactly how many people are going to be there?" Yusuke asked.
"She said just the normal gang. So I would guess Sonya, Claire, Holly, Denny, Nimbi, (A/N by the way, Nimbi doesn't mean that night stuff sorry ^_^; it really is like, plural for halo or something) and K.C." Botan said, freezing for a moment to think about K.C.
"Botan, stop daydreaming about him and come on." Yusuke yelled from Jackie's front step to Botan when she had stopped in the middle of the street.
"Oh, sorry." Botan ran up and they all entered.
"Hey guys! Glad you could come." Jackie said. She was sitting on her couch with a pop in her hand.
"Hey Jackie, guys." Botan said to her and the rest. It was like Botan had said, Holly, Claire, Sonya, Denny, Nimbi and K.C. were there.
"Come sit, I won't torture you. That's for later." Jackie joked.
"Honey? Are these the kids?" A middle aged woman walked into the room with a few bowls of popcorn.
"Yeah, mom. That's them. She's Botan, Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara." Jackie said pointing to each one of them.
"Oh, well it's very nice to meet you all." The woman said, then she put the bowls down and left the room.
"So, what are we going to do?" Yusuke asked.
"Every Saturday we watch horror flicks then go to the mall to torture people." Claire answered. They just looked at her like she was crazy.
"Hey, like Jackie said, the torturing is for later." Claire defended.
"Come on let's not waste time. Pop in the movie." Denny jumped onto the couch rigt next to Jackie and got ready.
Everyone sat down as K.C. put a movie in and sat down next to... Botan!
*~ later ~*
When the movie was over they left to the mall and tortured people like they said.
*~ more later ~*
"Bye guys." Jackie waved at her friends as they left then closed the door.
"So when did the people your living with say you have to be home?" Jackie asked the others.
"We live by ourselves, so we can go home anytime." Kurama told Jackie.
"What? You guys are so lucky! Wait? How is it that you weren't put into a house with a family or something? You guys are exchange students."
"Uh, well... we." Yusuke stuttered to answer.
"Jackie is that you?" Her mother asked.
"Yeah mom, we just got back. Hey, let's head to my room." Jackie walked off.
"Whew, that was close." The guys followed her.
In Jackie's room, Jackie was sitting on her bed reading a magazine and turning on some music.
"Wow. Your room's cool. My mom would never let me do this." Yusuke admired Jackie's room as he looked at black painted on spider webs on Jackie's red walls.
"Yeah, my mom doesn't really care." Jackie was bobbing her head to the Nirvana song playing. (A/N I don't own Nirvana but they totally rock or should I say rocked?)
Hiei sat on Jackie's window seat thingy and was actually bobbing his head too, but he quickly stopped.
"Your guitar's really cool." Kuwa said touching it and picking the strings.
"How long have you been playing?" He asked.
"About three years."
"You must be good."
"Yeah, I guess."
The guys stayed at Jackie's house for another half an hour till they left.
"Bye guys." Jackie waved at them and closed the door and went to go get ready for bed, sort of.
Jackie was in her pajamas, simply, of course, black pants and a large red shirt. She walked over to the window in her room and got out and climbed on the roof. She sat up on the edge and talked to herself.
"Okay, it's all okay. You're sitting on the ground in the grass, the nice green grass, which feels like shingles." Jackie opened her eyes and peered down to the ground.
"Ah!" She crawled from the roof and into her safe room.
"Crap! I'm never going to be able to see those meteors if I'm this big of a baby! Those things only come every 96 years and I don't think that I'm going to be strong enough or even alive at 110 years old!" Jackie whimpered and slid into her bed for her nights rest.
The next morning Jackie got ready to go hang with Claire, Holly and Sonya. She had on a white tank top underneath a black tank top with some holes in them. She had on plenty of jewelry including necklaces and bracelets. She had black Capri pants on and a red coat with the sleeves pushed up.
"Bye mom! I'm going to the center with the girls." Jackie left the house before even getting a reaction from her mother.
*~ gang's house ~*
"Koenma? What are you doing here?" Botan asked.
"I'm here to talk about your progress in your mission."
"We've done pretty well haven't we?" Yusuke said boasting.
"Actually, no you haven't." Yusuke anime fell.
"What? But the first day you said I weakened the barrier?" Yusuke said.
"Yes, but it is a large barrier and very strong. It was created by a demon by the name of Darien Sonojo, Jackie's father. The reason of why he put up that barrier was to protect her. He thought that putting her and his wife in the human world would guarantee their safety." He said.
"In the past there have been demons who tried to break the barrier so they could take Jackie for her unborn power, it has not been confirmed that Jackie has this power yet but we have good reason to believe that she does. Now, to break this barrier we're talking about, one of you have to become REALLY good friends with her otherwise, if we try and spread it to all of you it will take longer and we don't have that kind of time."
"Well who's going to do that?"
"That's something you need to figure out." Koenma disappeared.
*~ Seattle Center ~*
"Hey, there's Jackie." Sonya ran up to her with Claire and Holly behind her.
The girls conversed and what not till they left and went home after five hours.
Night again, and Jackie is in her pajamas and sitting on her window seat pondering.
"Okay, I can do this, it's no big deal." She opened the window and climbed outside to the roof.
'Breath, breath. Breath dammit!' Jackie was yelling at herself in her head and made the big mistake of opening her eyes.
"AH!" Jackie began to move to get off but missed her footing and fell off of the roof.
When she hit the ground she tried not to scream but that didn't work. She yelped and quickly her mother turned a light on in the house.
"Crap!" Jackie whispered. She hobbled to the back of the house to enter through the kitchen.
'That was not successful.' Jackie thought as she entered her room ignoring the pain from her leg. She climbed into bed and fell fast asleep.
"What was she doing?" Hiei was outside his house doing nothing after he saw Jackie fall off of her roof when she had climbed onto it for the second time that he saw in the past two nights.
