Chapter 26: Nooooo touchie!
Carr Carr spend the next day in bed sleeping or moving and regretting every second of it. Her hole body felt like it was demolished. The only good thing she got out of it was the pain med's (tylenol 3s) and the feather light touch of Ivys telekinesis. By late dusk she could move with not too much pain and only one tylenol extra strength. She made her way up to the roof and watches the last bit of the sun go down and the city light up like stars on earth.
Ivy climes up and all suspicions are confirmed. "Hey I finally found you." Carr Carr turned slightly. "What you up to? Well . .besides avoiding Aya- kun"
"Well I was thinking. Everything is suppose to be made up of energy and human life energy is called chi, right? And well everyone has chi but the dead people. So I thought maybe I could find where they have taken Sakura. I have already tried to finder her but I came up with nothing. I am really starting to feel useless."
"Ohh! Don't be that way!" Ivy very gingerly did an air hug around her friend using her powers to give the sensation that she was there. "Maybe your just trying to do to many things at once before your fully better. And well this place is really big and if your trying to find one person with out homing the ability first I wish you all the luck."Ivy paused and thought "Why not try finding me. You know me" Ivy sat down in front of her friend. "Focus on me. See my chi. When your ready I will start moving around and see if you can follow me. How dose that sound. When your trying something new you have to start small."
Carr Carr nodded and closed her eyes took a deep breath and reopened them.
She saw her friend sitting in front of her, her eyes closed and waiting not giving her any pressure. She let her power flow and she saw a light blue fuzz around her friend. It had a calming effect. Also indicating that she was calm. She closed her eyes and pictured what she saw this time the back round colors were faded and not in focus. Ivys chi flared and became clear. "Okay"
Ivy opened her eyes and stood walking as quietly as she could she stopped behind her friend.
"Behind me." Carr Carr didn't open her eyes but rotated her minds eye to see her friend.
Ivy walked to Carr Carr's left walked back and crouched trying to make her self as small as possible. "To my left and your sitting or something." Ivy nodded
"Crouching actually but good. Now don't focus on me and count to 5 then tell me where I am again." Carr Carr nodded. Ivy walked to in front of her friend and laid down.
Carr Carr did a mental sweep from her left side she stopped when she founds her friends blueish turning orange glow. "In front of me. You are laying down?"
"Yep." Ivy stood and walked to a different spot. This time Carr Carr pictured her friends face and found her on the edge of the building behind her to her right. She pointed.
"Good now do you think you can find the boys?" Ivy joined her friend sitting down again.
Carr Carr pictured Yohji and found a green orb "Yohji is in the living room" next Omi she saw a yellow orb "Omi is down stairs, I think he's on the computer" then Aya, a red orb "Ayas practicing his skills in the dojo." a purple orb for Ken. "Kens making dinner"
"Well thats how I left them all so either you can read my mind or you actually found them good job!" Carr Carr opened her eyes to see her friend smiling back at her. "Don't feel to useless now eh?"
Carr Carr smiled slightly a hand going to her head as the sky started to spin and wobble "woah. This cant be good" she looked up at Ivy and saw her lips moving but didint hear anything. As she watched her friend get up with a frightened look on her face in slow motion her vision went black and felt her self slowly layout.
"Carr Carr! Carr Carr! Shit she's passed out." Ivy kneeled beside her friend. "I guess even that was too much for her. Ivy lifted her right hand, her friend started to rise off the roof then float over to the edge. Carr Carr paused movement as Ivy started to clime down the ladder. Ivy giving 2/3rds of her concentration to Carr Carr and not letting her fall to her unconscious death, very slowly went down the ladder.
Ivy carried Carr Carr to bed as Aya came out of the dojo shirt wrapped around his neck and hair stuck to his face with sweat, the clear liquid beading down his neck and chest. His sheathed katana in is right hand.
Ivy looked up and saw him coming out "hey Aya can you help me out? I need you to pull back the sheets of the bed please"
The anger in his eyes evaporated when he saw Carr Carr floating in Ivys arms. "What the heck happened?" his anger returned to his voice. "Did you get attacked again?"
"No nothing like that. She was trying to make mends for losing the one person she hates most because she knows that you need her to save your sister, the one person who you love most in this world. Shes just not all up to par yet and she pushed her self; for you. She feels bad so you better stop being mad at her right now! And go flip back the sheets please." Ivy walked into the room Aya in tow.
He flipped back the sheets when commanded and stepped back in silence thinking. The look on his face said he was clearly worried. In a temp to comfort him she said "well at least you can be thankful for her not getting a concussion. If it will make you feel better I will wait while you go have a shower because. . . well personally I wouldn't want to wake up to my bun sweaty and sticky."
He nodded and whipped off his shirt and placed his katana in the corner. He started to undo his pants when he remembered Ivy hadn't left the room. He left the top button undone and grabbed his towel from the closet. Ivy smirked and clearly resisted the urge to say something. He crossed the rooms in full long strides. Aya only took minutes until he was back in the room wet, clean and soap smelling. Ivy stood and Aya took her place beside Carr Carr.
Ivy walked out with out giving a look back closing the door behind her. Yohji was leaning against the wall at the end of the hall waiting for her. "If you wait like that I might thinks bad things again." Ivy smiled knowing that the little bit of her was screaming at her to get her ass back to her friend and stay by her side, where the other half, the half that won was saying that she was in good hands and she shouldn't worry so much.
Yohji fell into step beside her and draped an arm across her shoulders. "Well I was thinking. If this was suppose to happen, Who was the real victim? And why couldn't you stop it from happening? I am pretty sure that you didnt want this to happen to your friend, you would have gone instead wouldn't you?"
"Are we playing 20 questions? Why didnt you tell me?" the smile faded from Ivys face. "No, no one, I didnt know and yes I would have gone if I had known that was suppose to happen. This never happen nothing like it, Sakura didnt get kidnaped she willing went with Schwarz. The Harpy ladies were never a villain in the plot line. And well because I think that the story line will never get back on track" until the second season, hopefully we didn't mess it up that much! "its safe to say that a group of old fogeys called Estet was suppose to have Schwarz take Aya's sister to them and they were preparing a ritual that needed a person that didnt age for more then 5 years or something like that. Sakura; like Aya said, she starts to grow her hair out and looks remarkably like his sister. So she trades places with his sister and attempt to screw it up but you guys break in and kick butt and get your ass's kicked. Either way you guys win."
They reached the living room door and walked though down to the spiral stair case. Ivy continued "so in short because we are here is why they are here." she looked at him "and yes if I did know that Carr Carr was going to get hurt I would have gone instead in a heart beat." Ivy sees Omi at his computer "hey Omi can I use the net for a bit?"
"Yea sure I am just about done" Omi said still typing madly. Just as Ivy made her self comfortable on the couch Omi got up "there you go you can use it now I am done. Thanks for waiting. Hope I didnt take too long."
"Ahh! What! Are you kidding? Not at all. I just got comfy." Ivy wormed her way out of the couch and got up. She opened the web browser before she sat and typed in a search for Latin words. After a few minutes Yohji walks over and looks over her shoulder.
"What are you looking for?" he ask scratching his stomach his green eyes flitting over the words on the screen.
"Oh umm" Ivy fumbles for an answer but cant come up with anything "umm I was just thinking that maybe I could find something on the mythical beast." holy cow I don't even believe that crap!
"Okay and you say I suck at lying? What are you really looking for? And why is it in English?" he leaned on the back of the chair and squinted
"Okay okay. Carr Carr and I spent the day watching you guys on tv. Sorry." Ivy said as she watched Yohji visibly flinch "then we got dressed in what you know as our mission clothing. We went to this night club, my partner started to put moves on me and . ." Ivy's words faded as she saw Carr Carr come down the stairs with some difficulty. Carr Carr looked up at the 2 and then held the neckless the boy was wearing by the string.
"Don't for get this. The cheep ass!"
"You still have it! Oh no. I don't know if thats a good thing or not." Ivy looked from Carr Carr to Yohji's questioning face. "Okay the boy that was putting moves on me was wearing that neckless then he started spouting Latin. After the hole crises of something happing to me and
get to ask him what he was doing he starts saying bullshit."
"Saying that he doesn't know what the heck he was saying or doing. We soo don't believe him. I practically ripped it off him and gave it to me." Carr Carr said leaning beside Yohji on the back of the couch.
"Hey didnt I say there was something written on it? I couldn't see it in the dim lite of the dance club but there is enough here. Pass it over." Ivy held out her hand and grasped the shiny smooth metal of the pentacle. The moment her fingers came in full contact with it her head started to pound immensely and grow till like it was going to make her head explode.
Ivy screamed at the top of her lung and voice box capacity and dropped the neckless to grip her head with both hands. She took air in roughly though her teeth and cried "It hurts! Oh gods does it ever hurt!"
Yohji pushes the neckless out of the way with his foot and bends down to cradle Ivy in his chest. Wrapping his arms around her. Ivys whimpering and yelling started to die down.
Unfortunately it also got the attention of everyone in the building. One closely followed by the other rand down the stairs to see what was going on.
"Whats going on!" Aya demanded katana still sheathed in hand.
Carr Carr looked from Aya to Ivy to Yohji. Yohji looked to Carr Carr.
