The stupidest thing on this planet, who the hell lives atop of thousands of stairs!
Keiko and I had stopped at the top of the steps so I could catch my breath, my feet were throbbing in my brown boots and i already dreaded being here.
" are you sure your okay? We can go back if you don't feel like it ." Keiko was very concerned and I knew she would also be disappointed if I did leave.
" no , no its alright let me just rest my feet." I looked around , it was dark with little lights, the trees around were very old . I felt a breeze rush past me , my skin tingled and I gasped.
" is something wrong ? Keiko asked the concern was still there .
" oh no its nothing, just a little chilly, lets go inside." I stood and linked arms with her , we smiled at each other as keiko led us inside.
It was warm inside I was more surprised it wasn't as crowded as I thought. There were a few people scattered about and I nervously followed keiko to a table in the far end of the room. We began to eat some of the food and socialize with a few bystanders, that was until he showed up.
" Hey Keiko! You came and brought Amelia , pretty sweet." Yuskue walked cool over to our table and sat across from me next to keiko. He kissed keiko on her forehead and gave me fist bump .
" haven't seen you in awhile curly top. How have you been?"
" I've been pretty good , just school and work nothing special." I relaxed my head on my propped arm " nothing remotely special"
" what no boyfriend at all , I would have expected guys would be at your door step." Yuskue asked incredulous " I mean even I can see you've grown in all the right places." He took a swig of his drink and started choking once a slap sounded .
" dammit keiko ! what was that for" he coughed out his tea his eyes watering
" you don't have to be a pervert Yuskue , be more of a gentleman." She rolled her eyes and glanced back at me " I'm sorry Mia , he can be such a jerk at times."
" hey if he wasn't it wouldn't be yuskue" I laughed it off though I did feel slightly embarrassed, I knew I grew , especially in my assets. and Yuskue was right, I did get a lot of guys asking to go out with me, but I wasn't interested.
" Urameshi ! there you are I was looking every where for you . You know you should tell people where your going and not just walk away like we know what's going on and –oh hey keiko who's the friend?"
" Kuwabara this is Amelia and old friend from Junior high ." keiko stated
" nice to meet you " I flashed my smile and noticed his face turned beet red
" why hello nice to meet you " he flushed
" and Kuwabara is bitten by the love bug !" a blue haired girl popped out of no where
" not a surprise" yuskue remarked with a roll of his eyes
" oh please botan its not that easy to fall in love you have to have a connection that two spirits are destined for each other. Like me and Yukina , we are destined to be together and nothing is going to stop that."
" what ever you say romeo" Botan the blue haired girl stated she moved to sit next to me
" but I will say this , your aren't a bad looker, especially your hair ! I'v never seen anything so curly and soft in my life.
" uhhh" I looked at her sideways
" and your eyes against your skin , you look like a greek goodess" She had her slim hands in my hair and purple eyes in my face
" okay botan calm it down she isn't an exhibit" a taller woman came to sit with us
" hey sis" kuwabara said through food in his mouth "where have you been ?"
" first off baby bro don't talk with your mouth fool, second its none of your business." She lit a cigarette and blew it in his face, he coughed
" not cool sis " he mumbled
As the night went on I became more comfortable around everyone. I laughed hard and cracked jokes with them. At the end, I was glad I showed up.
As the night drew to a close , I went outside to get some air. It felt great the air in my lungs. I closed my eyes and stared up at the moon. Something I used to do a lot when I was younger.
" a nice night out isn't it?" a sneering voice sounded from behind me as I whipped around I saw the same short man with spiky hair behind me . his red eyes looked cold.
" what's it to you ?" I remarked back holding my ground. Even though he was short there was something about him that scared me , something about him that wasn't normal.
" you know you have a lot of guts to gaze upon a demon."
" a what ?" I gasped , he charged at me with a sword I saw him and than he vanished.
"what the hell!" I mumbled I turned in circles trying to see where he went.
" your mine!" I turned my curls masking most of my views , the short man jumped at me I screamed.
" Heie enough !" than a tree shot up in between me and the demon , he diverted and rolled to the side.
" why did you stop me !" he yelled into the trees
what the hell is going on
I stood shaking looking between the short man , the tree that sprouted and the voice that sounded familiar coming from the forest.
" you can't go around attacking everyone you suspect . " the voice sounded again , smooth on the air .
That voice…why does it sound so familiar.
" you can sense it to you fool ! she isn't what she seems" the short man growled out
" yes , I understand but she has posed us no harm so far. The least we could do work with her." The voice emerged from the trees , I gasped and stepped back.
The red head from my class walked out from the trees , Suichi Minamino .
