Late yeah, okay, whatever.

I hate the beginning of this story, is that a bad quality for an author?

Chapter 12: Hate

"Get under something!" The teens had run into the house and jumped under something right before the lights went out. Since it was still light out it was still easy to see things. The earthquake was making everything fall off of the shelves, causing them to shatter right in front of the gang's faces. K.C. was hovering over Sonya and Holly as Kurama was doing the same over Botan as they occupied the large kitchen table. Kuwabara was huddled next to Hiei and the still unconscious Jackie in the dining room. Jackie, though not able to talk or move on her own, was twitching spastically. The other girls were screaming as the earthquake continued for another minute and a half finally settling and allowing everyone to process what had happened. As they slowly came from under their hiding places, Jackie started to stir. K.C. walked straight to the window to find out what had made the power go out. As he opened the blinds, he saw a tree had taking down the wires. The tree that Jackie was in. He shuttered at the thought of what could have happened and turned around to see everyone huddled under the dining room table looking at Jackie.

"Jackie? Jackie? Can you hear me?" Holly was resting Jackie's head in her lap under the table as Jackie was mumbling words that didn't make any sense. Everyone was staring at her; the fact that her eyes were still open and she was talking made them slightly uncomfortable. Then, her eyes closed and her talking stopped, for several seconds no one even breathed seeing if she was going to do something. Then, her eyes opened again, to her normal eye color and she stared quizzically up and Holly and everyone else.

"Jackie?" Holly said in a low whisper.

"Huh?"

Later

"You sure you're gonna be okay Jack?" Everyone was still surrounding Jackie who was now lying down on the couch.

"Yeah." Jackie seemed distant, she wasn't aware that she was in the tree before and the thought of herself falling from so high up scared her. But something else was also troubling her. And her friends noticed it.

"Jackie... did you see something when you were out?"

"I had a flashback. Again." An inaudible sigh went around the room through Jackie's friends. They knew she was going to soon elaborate on a strange dream that she said was a memory of hers. They never believed her.

"What was this one about?"

"I was at my Grandmother's. And we got attacked."

"By demons?"

"Yes, who else?" Jackie stood up from the couch and paced the room while everyone else just rolled their eyes at what was going to happen next.

"I was in the living room with my grandmother, she was telling me about the demons again, and how they were the worst things in the three worlds—"

"Three worlds?" Botan perked up a bit after Jackie said that. So did all the others; they started to listen more intently now.

"Yeah, there are three worlds. The human, spirit and demon worlds. Or, as my grandmother called them, The Ningen Kai, Rekai, and Makai. She's part Japanese like you guys." The others just stared at her dumbfounded. Yusuke was about the say something but K.C. beat him to it.

"You can't honestly believe in that stuff Jackie, you're grandma was weird, she was telling stories to you. These were dreams! Not real."

"So you're saying that when the demons attacked me in my dreams that these scars appeared magically?" Jackie pulled up her pant leg and there were scratch scars running down her calves.

"Jackie."

"Let me continue..." Jackie turned around and walked toward the TV and Yusuke and Botan shot quick glances at each other afraid at what she was going to tell them now. "We were in the living room, and she was explaining to me how horrible these demons were. That they, they killed humans and ruined their lives because of their own selfish greed. Those demons killed my grandfather you know. Then, right when she was about to tell me something important, something that she said would change my life, these horrific looking demons, with horrible black eyes, came in and attacked us." Jackie slowly turned around. Her eyes that glazy gray again, she continued with a lost look on her face, "They grabbed her and me, and dragged us into the kitchen. There was so much going on, things falling off of the wall, the house was shaking. It felt like... like... like an earthquake. I was crying, and they ripped her away from me. I screamed, and a bright light flashed in through the window. A storm had begun, thunder, lightning and all. Then they killed her. They ripped into her stomach, and blood spurted out and her body went completely limp. I just stared. Then I was dropped, the demon that was holding me had let go and I fell to the floor, I hit my head, and everything went hazy. The last thing I remember was a man, he looked human, but something told me he was a demon. He picked me off of the floor and hugged me, and then stared into my eyes and kissed the top of my head and put me back down. And that's when everything went black. And I woke up in the middle of the living room and all the blood that came from my grandmother in the kitchen was gone, and so was she. I could barely walk because my legs were covered in blood."

"Okay that's ENOUGH!" K.C. shot up from his seat and walked in front of Jackie, catching her attention, forcing her to stop.

"Just stop with this nonsense! I know you like these fantasy kind of worlds and elaborating on them but stop trying to pull them across as real! You need to get into reality Jackie and see that there are no such things as demons, or three worlds and no one killed your grandmother!" The room was silent. All of the gang was so surprised that Jackie seemed to know more about everything than they expected. The others were surprised that K.C. was yelling at Jackie.

"It's not fantasy K.C., I saw it happen, and therefore, it happened." Jackie walked away fuming and opened the door to leave. She turned around to say one last thing, "I do believe in demons K.C. All different kinds. And I think they all can go to hell and burn because if there is one thing in these worlds that I despise with my whole body, it is demons." She walked out, and slammed the door shut. The room had gotten really hot.

"Holy crap it got hot."

"Seattle has bipolar disorder when it comes to weather."

"K.C.?" Sonya stood up and walked toward him. He was facing the front door where Jackie had just left through.

"I'm going home." He then quickly left as well.

"Um." Sonya turned around to the rest of her guests who just looked at her awkwardly.

"I think we should leave." Botan stood up as did Kurama. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei quickly followed. They waved at the rest before exiting.

Outside

"We have to call Koenma, now!" Botan pulled out her communicator and called Koenma to get there as fast as possible. Once they got back to their home after a couple of minutes Koenma was seen sitting in one of the chairs waiting patiently in his teenage form.

"How come you never showed us how to get here that fast instead of fifteen hours on a plane?" Yusuke walked in and plopped himself down on the couch as did Kuwabara.

"That isn't important now Yusuke. You called me for a better reason than that I certainly hope."

"We did, sir. We were at one of Jackie's friends houses when an earthquake occurred. Jackie was in a tree at the time but she's okay, Hiei caught her when she fell." Botan added in the last part when she saw Koenma's eyes go wide. She continued. "She said she had this dream, flashback thing. In it, she revealed that she knows about the three worlds. She said demons attacked her and killed her grandmother! Is this all true? How does her grandmother know about it all?" Botan and the rest looked at Koenma for more answers and looked down at the floor for a moment. This showed that he knew why everything was happening.

"I haven't been completely open with Jackie and her situation. Jackie is really, well, a demon. Er, well, half that is. Her mother, whom I assume you've met, is a human. Her father, however, is not. He is a full fledged demon. He was also very sought after in the demon world. When he made relations with a human woman and produced Jackie, he knew that their lives were in danger. At the time, they were living in the demon world; Jackie was only a couple of months old so she wouldn't remember being there. But, her father had her and her mother come to live in the Human World because it was safer.

"Every since then though, demons have always tried to come and find her. She has a mysterious power that was prophesied to become born in a child that lied between the two living worlds and it was said to come from her father, Darien Sonojo, the only name he is known by. He also had to keep things like that a secret from Jackie, whose real name; as I have told you is Kairi, because the emotional impact it could have on her would catastrophically change the world. When her grandmother, who knew the truth of Jackie's mother's relationship with a demon, told Jackie all those stories about how evil demons were, she tried to implant the idea that they were horrible things that lived to ruin humans. Sonojo had to react, otherwise Jackie could destroy the world just from hearing it all, he reluctantly decided on slaying her grandmother. Jackie's mother never forgave him for it. Sadly, though, Jackie now has the notion of all demons are evil and shouldn't be trusted for what they did to her grandmother."

The whole room just stared at Koenma for his little speech there.

"It seems that you left out A LOT of information there Koenma." Yusuke shifted in his seat and crossed his arms.

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't let you go in there knowing she hated demons. It could have negatively affected the mission. I, however, feel comfortable to tell you this now because of the time you've spent here. Jackie's seemingly immovable force field is coming down faster than hoped. If we're lucky, we could have her in Japan by semester!"

"This is a lot to take in. I still would like to know more about Jackie's 'catastrophical power' as you called it. It seems her emotions are tied into natural disasters." Kurama had found a common thread between the strange occurrences of earthquakes and storms for when Jackie's emotions got out of control. The raining when they fought the other girls, the recent earthquake when she was in danger, and the other storm and earthquake that she mentioned in her flashback. It all had to be connected.

"I would like to learn more about her father." Hiei was sitting aside from the others thinking the same thing as Kurama and knowing a little bit of this Darien Sonojo's power and that prophecy.

"I guess this would be a better time than ever to share that information as well. I will have it found and sent as quickly as possible." Then, Koenma said his goodbyes and disappeared.

Shade- It's been over a year hasn't it? How many birthdays did I miss? I've read over this story and realized I don't really like the beginning but I'm too lazy to rewrite anything now especially since I have WASL next week and that will determine whether or not I graduate. Yeah, bunches of fun. Now, I semi like where it's going, I sort of have an idea for it in the future. Since I'm so bored, I decided to continue these stories.

I hope new readers won't hate the beginning so much that they won't read the next parts.

Oh yeah, People died cuz I took too long and they have a short life span. But more People will most likely make their way back into my Author's Notes. Only time will tell.

People- Yo

Shade- Time: 00:00:01

Please review

Mini edit about the dad's name. Not sure if I caught it all but I'm too lazy to check. And his first name was first, Darien. Instead of Sonojo Darien like it would appear in Japanese terms.
