Demoonica's Story: Home

An hour later the sun was just peaking over the horizon. Demoonica was sitting on the loveseat with Zander, she was half flopped over the armrest looking at the baby moniter. Raine was sitting in one of the plush chairs, focused on restoring her Mana pool. Sasuke was currled up on the couch with an icepack held against a ball shaped bruse that refused to go away with healing magic. Demoonica's BishiGear gave a soft beep that ment it was 6AM.

"So, what do you think would be best?"

Raine blinked her eyes open. "A caretaker center."

"A what?" This came from Zander.

"A... Bishi Center, but personal. Simply investing in one of the auto-healing devices would be fine. After that... a training arena where everyone can safely burn off energy in a confined environment."

"I don't think we can afford that Raine." Demoonica said.

"Hm... right, you've spent credits like water this month already."

"Training outside." Sasuke imputted. "It not like we have to go out of sight from the house. Set the Monster Battle Chip to 'On', set the distance to the smallest area posable and sit on the front porch or something..."

"Could work." Raine said.

"That's true." Demoonca agreed along with Raine. "It's getting cooler though, in this part of the world it's almost fall isn't it?" Her only answer were shrugs, neither Sasuke or Raine were from close to Epoh City. Demoonica frowned. "I also don't want a repeat of tonight..."

"Not all new trainers are going to be that... single minded."

"You are going to see them in droves, too. Living this close to a town." Zander said. "Trust me when I say I know from experiance."

Demoonica chuckled, remembering the first time she'd seen Zander in the Epoh City Orentation Center. The dark agitated energy he'd been putting out had been almost palatable when he'd stormed by her. She felt a sudden... tickle at the back of her mind, then a few moments later a soft sound came across the baby moniter. She recognized it after a moment more and smiled.

"G'morning Kagome." Demoonica said as the black haired woman came down the stairs.

"Morning... you are up very early." Kagome said as she looked at the four of them.

"Some very early mornin' drama I'm afraid, but it's mostly settled now. Damia is still asleep?"

Kagome nodded. "Should we start putting together breakfast?"

"Give it another half hour, I doubt anyone else has woken up yet." Demoonica stood up. "I'm going to grab my gear, be back in a moment." She headed upstairs. When she returned she was carrying her PD BishiBall Belt and her BishiGear.

"What are you planning?" Kagome asked.

Raine had gone back to her meditative state, and Sasuke seemed to have dozed off. Zander took Demoonica's Belt when she held it out to him, right before she sat back down next to him. "Not clear on the details yet." He offered in reply when Demoonica aparently didn't hear Kagome's question. Instead she was fiddling with her Gear, probably tuning everyone out.

"Give me the quick version then."

"A way to occupie everyone... or at least anyone who's bored being at the house all the time. Sasuke, before he fell asleep sugested-"

"Ah-ha! Got it. Here look." Demoonica interupted and pushed the Gear into Zanders field of vision.

He caught Demoonicas' hand and pulled it back away so he could focus on the small BishiGears' screen. "What am I looking at?" He finally questioned, haveing never handled any of the trainer devices before.

"This is the programing options for the Random Battle Chip. Here," she pointed, "is the setting for field size and this one is the encounter rate. I can set it for as small as the length of an American Football field."

"A what?"

"Sorry. One hundred yards. Though in both directions not just one."

"That's not bad." Kagome commented.

"Exactly."

"Okay." Zander pushed Demoonicas' arm down the rest of the way. "It that small enough space?"

"... I can't say it isn't, I can't make it less. It will have to be enough."

"Demoonica, don't forget, it isn't just going to be one or two people at a time, you could have half or more of your Bishounen wanting to get in some training."

Kagome stood. "You're thinking to keep them busy at the house through random battle training... that's... actually a really good idea!" She said brightly.

"Thank you." Raine quipped, making Kagome jump.

"It was basicly her idea." Demoonica added. "Though I think Raine had in mind something... more like..."

"A gym or arena." Raine filled.

"Yeah, but we can't afford building anything like that. So Sasuke said just to use the Monster Battle Chip, like I do when we aren't rushing to get from one city to the next."

"Everyone has been busy." Zander said as he stood. A sound had came across the baby moniter, and this time it wasn't someone quietly checking in on the infant. He headed upstairs.

"I can see that." Kagome watched as Zander left. "I take it Damia slept through the night again?"

Demoonica nodded. "Yeah, second night in a row. I hope this meens she's getting off the hospital scedual where nurses kept checking in every four hours."

"That's good." Kagome asked the next part quietly. "How's things going with Zander?"

Demoonica blushed lightly. "Better. To be truthful, I had expected us to get in some sort of argument if not before Damias' birth when he had so short of a time to get use to the idea of being a father... then well between then and now... It's been weeks. Instead he's taking things..."

"Better than you did? Better than expected?"

"Just better in general, I guess. I meen, it was like he took one look at Damia and it all clicked into place."

"Don't tell me you are worried he's taking it too well?"

"I can't help but be afraid it's all too good to be true and in a moment it will fall to pieces around me. Every time something good happens around... me... it seems to just be leading up to something just as bad happening next. I'm just as on edge as the guys... aren't I?"

"It sort of translates." Kagome said with a roll of her eyes. "Emotions pass through the bond both ways. If you worry, then your Bishi pick up on it. If they worry, you pick up on it. After a while it is just bouncing back and forth picking up speed and power."

"Sounds like you're decribing ping-pong."

Kagome laughed. "Try hitting the next 'ball' of emotion with less power, stop worrying so much and you'll see everyone settling down a bit more too."

"You really think so?"

Kagome crossed her arms. "I know so! Plus, the Random Battle Chip idea is going to let them blow off a lot of pent-up energy and steam."

Raine cleared her throat. "I wouldn't use the term 'pent-up' around the males of the spicies, they tend to think of sex when you do."

Kagome chuckled, then glanced at Sasuke who seemed to still be asleep. Good enough. "I can't speak for the rest of the guys, but as his wife I make sure Inuyasha and myself don't have that problem."

Raine laughed outloud. "Yes, not a conversation for the males."

Demoonica giggled too. "You guys!"

The sound of footfalls on the stairs stopped their laughs and conversation. "We should start breakfast now." Kagome said.

The three of them headed into the kitchen. Once they were gone, Sasuke's eyes snapped open and he grabbed the ice-bag as he sat up. A few moments later Zander made his way to the bottom of the stairs, Damia cradled in his arms. "Where'd they go?" He asked. Sasuke pointed towards the kitchen, then rubbed the numb place on his face the ice had left him with. Zander looked at him. "The bruse is almost gone, but you look flushed."

"Sometimes," Sasuke mumbled to himself, "I wonder if those conversations are ment as punishment." He thought about it, but truethfully he'd been fakeing sleep the whole time and heard everything, so no it was just how converstations went. He looked back up to Zander. "Just the ice."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Throughout the rest of the morning Demoonica talked to most of her Bishounen about Raine and Sasuke's ideas. She was met with a great deal of enthusiasum. Other ideas sprang up also, such as an actual obstacle course or a simple 'stadium' that at this point amounted to a dirt circle with some wooden bleachers next to it. Demoonica wrote it all down.

It was sometime before noon when she'd gathered enough ideas that she considered it okay to try putting together some of them. She couldn't aford the auto-healing device Raine had sugested and she had no idea how to put together an obstacle course that would actually challenge her Bishi. That left her with the 'stadium'... well sparing area.

Demoonica bundled up Damia and headed outside, followed by the few Bishi who were out of Ball at the time. First she called back out pretty much everyone, save Marou. Then she waved off the work supervision to Sasuke who'd delt with setting up training areas for the Acadamy before. Many of the others had also had to improvise about the same thing and together they figured it wouldn't take long.

Bringing up the overview of the property Demoonica gave herself a crash course in redesigning a world that was part program. Eventually, after a few times of misreading the cowardenents she had the area right next to the house cleared of trees. It was a very surreal time, watching tangable things like trees flicker then disappear into nothingness as she worked.

"Gah!" A very wet and angry trainer stomped out of the tree-line. "I don't know how you did that, but it was your fault! I just know it! There is no way a pond just appeared out of nowhere under my feet!"

Everyone stopped and looked up at the person. Demoonica groaned. "How? How in this world could you have been in the exact place..." She facepalmed. "I only made a water area once by mistake."
