Off to Spirit World we go in this weird, impromtu idea for the story. /sigh/ I'm trying to hold off on the pranks for a while but my friends are just bursting with ideas...it's terrible in the sense that I can't remember them all! T.T Bad me, I feel stupid. Well anyways here is your next chapter full of weirdness and Destiny-ness. oO Okay then, nevermind...
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Chapter Seven
Traveling to Spirit World is not one of the girls favorite things to do, mainly because they are taking ten minutes out of their lives that could have been put to better use. For example, more plotting. But since this trip will tie in with a little plan of the girls and it will save them from being seperated, the girls don't really mind the trip this time. While riding through the portal Olivia explains the rest of her plan. Basically all they really have to do at the moment is get something to make Yusuke look and sound more mature. Then all they have to do is introduce them to the principle. What could possibly go wrong, right?
Botan meets them at the front gate, ready to take them to Koenma. The ferry woman has developed a sort of sixth sense that warns her of the appoaching Destinies. She had to persuade Koenma not to bubblewrap all of the furniture, saying how insulting it would be to the girls. Funny thing, if the girls had known about it, they would have agreed with Koenma. After greeting Botan and scaring the ogres in the front of the building for a while, the girls move on to Koenma. The ruler of Spirit World is in teenage form, sitting loftily in his fluffy chair. Botan pushes them in, bows out, and closes the door on her way out.
"Well hello girls. Who's your friend?"
"This is Carinne. Expect her to be a demon or half-demon."
"Very well. What can I do for you?"
Olivia moves forward, "Koenma someone has found out about our little...secret. Thus we sort of told them the half-truth. And they want to meet our 'guardians.'"
"And what does this have to do with me?"
"Kurama will play the girl," Olivia smiles as Koenma twitches. "And we need Yusuke to play the guy. Needless to say he is...well...immature and short. We need to remedy this problem before tomorrow morning. That's where you come in."
Koenma sighs, sinking further into his chair, "Since this is for the good of Spirit World I will help you out. But no more, all right?"
"Thank you!"
Koenma calls for his personal ogre and commands him to a certain vault in a certain place which he keeps secret from the Destinies. Wise choice. But they will find it someday, that they will. While the ogre retrieves the needed substance the ruler of Spirit World instructs the girls on how to use it, warning them that if they mess up the consequences can be dire. Needless to say he cannot have that happen to his Spirit Detective. With the promise that they will be very careful, the Destinies accept the substance and prepare to exit via portal. As it swirls into being, the Destinies thank Koenma one more time before stepping through.
The mansion comes into view in a matter of moments as the portal deposits the girls in the front of their home. Glancing nervously around they are relieved to find that they have not been spotted appearing out of thin air. Carinne, shouting for Hiei to appear before her, shoots off into the mansion with maniac laughter pouring from her very soul. A collective shiver runs through the mansion as she pins Hiei to the ground, tickling him. Hiei does not seem the one to like to be tickled. And he's not. So while Carinne goes running through the mansion screaming her head off, the Destinies head off to find Yusuke. He is playing video games in his room, completely oblivious to the world around him.
"Yuuuuusuke!" Meagan yells in his ear, scaring him.
"What the hell!"
"Yusuke, love," Meagan smiles innocently. "You said you'd help us with our school problem right?"
"Errgh yeah, why?"
"Eat this!"
And with that said Meagan pries open the unsuspecting boy's mouth and shoves a tiny pink ball down his throat. Yusuke coughs and splutters, pushing Meagan onto the floor so that she lands on her butt with an "oomph!" before allowing the tiny ball to pass through his throat and down into his stomach. He gives a huge burp, excuses himself, then proceeds to yell at the girls who back out of the room slowly. They close the door as they exit, standing still and staring at the door for a while longer. That is, until Olivia feels this sharp pain in her shoulder and turns to see Carinne biting her.
"Ah, Carinne!"
"Grr!"
"Lemme go, you pyscho!"
"RAWR!"
(a/n: She really does bite. I wouldn't be surprised if I get Carinne-rabies one of these days...) Olivia tries to run off but Carinne is still firmly attatched to her arm and thus she is dragged through the halls as well. Their friends simply sit and enjoy the show. Presently--when Olivia gives her loudest cry yet--Carinne decides to let go, leaving Olivia to nurse her wounded arm.
"Ah Carinne you're so mean!"
"Yeah but you know you still love me!"
Olivia whimpers, running away from Carinne before the girl can decide to do anything else to her. And thus the girls disband into their own rooms, waiting for tomorrow.
Tomorrow
"Yuuusuke, Kurama! Rise and shine!"
"Ngh..."
The boys are roughly yelled awake--just Kurama and Yusuke, mind--by the girls who are ready to prepare them for being their 'guardians.' In front of Kurama they lay out a silk blouse--red--and a black skirt that brushes the floor when worn by someone of the right height; namely our dear Kurama. For Yusuke they lay out well...Yusuke clothes. A normal pair of jeans and a nice collar shirt. Green. Yusuke drags himself out of bed and marches up to the Destinies demanding why they are so demanding at such an early hour. The Destinies only gawk at him.
"My gosh is this what Yusuke's going to look like as an adult? Is this really Yusuke?"
For before them is a much different Yusuke. He's about seven inches taller, with the same messy hair and shining eyes, but he's different. The way he is carrying himself seems more mature, and the Destinies can only hope he will be this way when he truly does grow older.
"I think he's mature enough to drive the car, then..."
A mad glint sparks in Yusuke's eyes. "Drive?"
oO "Okay maybe not..."
"I demand to drive!" he holds his hands out for the keys.
"Definately Yusuke..."
"Come on Kurama!"
The Destinies pile into the car, ready to get this little 'mission' over with.
"Wait, where's Carinne?"
"AAIIIEEEE!"
The front door is pushed open and Hiei unceremoniously shoves Carinne outside. Kurama follows after her, head bowed in shame and embarassment. While he loves the girls and is willing to do practically anything for them, this is too much! But it's his own fault for falling for their tricks... It's just so hard to say no to Nissi! Yusuke honks the horn and Kurama sits himself in the car, mentally preparing himself for the terrifying ride that is about to ensue. The Destinies are also uneasy about this decision of theirs. Magic pill or no magic pill Yusuke is still Yusuke... But the said does not seem to notice the looks of unease he is recieving at the moment. Revving up the car, he puts the petal to the metal and goes shooting off.
"Too fast! Too fast!" Kurama yells, trying to get Yusuke's attention.
"Wheee!" the Destinies--while still frightened--are going to enjoy the peaceful part of the ride as much as they can.
Because as soon as Yusuke hits the main road...
"WATCH OUT FOR THE CAR! THE CAR!" they cry, covering their faces.
Schoom. Yusuke veers out of the way, missing the car by a mere centimeter. Kurama has been resolved to just keeping his face covered and hoping to god he won't die like this. How embarrassing that would be... The Destinies, on the other hand, have been resolved to screaming their heads off and warning Yusuke about every upcoming car. Yusuke's eyes are glinting dangerously. This is a challenge! What were we thinking, letting Yusuke drive Shizuru's car? The thought of what Shizuru will do to them if her car is hurt in any way is...mortifying. The torture continues for several more minutes until he calmly pulls into the school parking lot. The Destinies clamber out and kiss the ground, never more happy to be alive.
"Kurama drives on the way back!" they inform Yusuke, who pouts.
"Would you mind just directing us to the councilor's office?" Kurama gasps, clutching at his heart.
"Oh yeah! Come on."
Thus the Destinies begin weaving in and out of the cars in the lot to reach the main building of the school. Upon reaching the office they shove the two in there, introduce them to the waiting principal, and stand back. The principal greets them, leading them into one of the back rooms.
"We've brought in a certified councilor to evaluate your marriage."
Twitch. The Destinies stifle a laugh as the two visibly wince. They follow for a while, pressing their ears to the door. The basic introductions are exchanged, the instructions, blah, blah, blah. The girls want the good stuff. And it is coming. Once it seems that everyone is comfortable, the councilor begins his questioning.
"Are you two happy with each other?"
It is at that point that the principal shooes the girls out, much to their disappointment. It would have been worth whatever punishment they would have to recieve to see the looks on Yusuke's and Kurama's faces as that question was dished out to them. Sadly they must leave now, and so they go onto their classes while the torture continues for Yusuke and Kurama.
"Err...yes, quite happy," Kurama chokes out.
"Yeah pretty happy," Yusuke drawls, trying to keep his cool.
The councilor makes some notes on his ever-handy clipboard while the two exchange dark looks. They will pay for this later... Finished with his notes the councilor continues on with his questioning, firing one right after another, never giving them a chance to rest and collect their thoughts. Which is pretty terrible for them because if they screw up even once the girls get seperated and they will be punished by Koenma. And while they don't really think the ruler of Spirit World can do anything, err, permanent to them, something terrible is bound to happen none the less.
"Are you aware if the girls are seeing anyone?"
With a nervous gulp Yusuke turns to Kurama, who nods. Taking a deep breath, Yusuke answers, "Yes, the girls are seeing someone. All of them save Vanessa...and we do know the boys."
"That's good!" the councilor says encouragingly. "Now, are the girls involved with any activities that may be dangerous to their health or such?"
Urk...this guy really knows the sensitive spots of our lives... Kurama twists a strand of hair in his fingers, "Nothing that will get them into trouble or eventually kill them. Just some random crazy things they come up with."
"So the girls are creative?"
"Very," Yusuke and Kurama both stress the very. "They aren't the ones to be bored."
"Good, good. And how is it you found the girls, hm?"
"They were walking in the rain and stumbled upon our home," they told the man with complete honesty and straight faces.
"Hm, very well. I suppose we are finished here. Oh wait, how is it that you two found each other?"
Twitch, twitch. Kurama takes Yusuke's hand in an attempt to calm him down. Thinking quickly the fox comes up with a suitable lie.
"I was heading down the road of a delinquent and Yusuke was my tutor. We hit it off naturally..."
More note-taking. Presently he informs them that he has all he needs and that the girls seem to be in good hands. They are dismissed. Taking the keys from Yusuke, Kurama drags him to the parking lot and prepares to drive the car back home. The two can't wait for the girls to come back home so they can plague them with things to do. As the two drive off, the girls--each in their classes--are left with a strange sense of dread. And it doesn't go away.
