Blah speaking in her head
"blah" Talking out loud

The Combination
Not that would matter…if he so much tries to harm you we'll take over I laughed at Hecate's statement. She likes to pop out of nowhere. Another thing I learned in time. I smiled over her protectiveness.
She has a point. Besides, you have your own powers that would cause some real damage and especially since he's just been healed That was Solace speaking for sure. I always knew who was who when they spoke.
Can't we kill him already? Celosia snarled. The boy-hater. Don't mistake her for being boy-crazy or she'll pretend that you're a candle that she can set on fire. I shook my head.
He's my friend, CELOSIA! LEAVE HIM ALONE! Shiva said in alarm.
Calm down, Shiva, we won't do any harm to him I replied.
What did you say his name was? Solace asked the third spirit.
Hiei…
And you know him how? Celosia frowned. I rolled my brown eyes. They would fight forever if I didn't step in now and then.
Shiva gave a childish glare at Celosia but they froze when we all heard movement in the room. It was the Hiei person. His eyes have opened and OH MY GOD THEY'RE RED! Run away! But my body wasn't working with me. Shiva must have done something. No fair. He scanned the room. Obviously, he sensed a presence but thanks to my powers he couldn't see me. I tried to make myself appear to him but no luck. But then all the sudden he was staring at me and I froze. Sort of since I was already stuck in the first place.
"Who are you?" He asked me. Funny that I could say the same.
"You can see me?"
"Of course I can."
"He can see me! Oh my god!" I grinned. Maybe my powers dropped down because of Shiva's healing improvement.
"What is wrong with you!."
"Hard to explain." I scratched my head
"Who are you?" He repeated with annoyance.
"I could ask you the same thing."
"That's none of your business."
"Then who I am isn't either."
He glared at me and I looked into the mirror. Hallelujah! My body was back and I could see my reflection. I looked back at him and he was trying to stand on the bed and miserably failing. I had to swallow down a laugh as he fell. He snarled and glared at me more. The kind of look that said 'if you laugh you die'. I smirked.
Well, isn't he charming Solace chuckled.
I still say we should kill him Celosia frowned.
He changed a lot…he has more ..muscles and stuff Shiva smiled.
Do I sense a crush? I teased the spirit and she scowled at me.
"What are you doing?"
Opps. I must have spaced out on him while talking to the others. Must think I'm weird. But then again I would have to agree.
"Nothing. Just thinking."
"About what?"
"Nothing."
"Hn."
"How did you get wounded like that?"
"None of your business."
"Fine geez!" I snapped. How could Shiva, the gentlest spirit in the world, tolerate him! I slowly closed my bedroom door and heard a low grumble. I smirked. He was hungry.
"Want something to eat?"
"No."
"But you're hungry."
"No I'm not."
"Yes, you are! Your stomach growled!"
"Hn."
"Good god! How can Shiva be friends with you!" I scowled.
His eyebrows rose and his eyes darkened. Did I say something wrong?
"How do you know her?" He asked me. I gave a nervous laugh.
"She's a friend of mine, why?" His eyes widen in surprise at that.
"Your friend?"
"Yes…"
"Where is she now?" He was getting a tad bit too excited.
"I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know!"
"Calm down, Hiei! I'm not her keeper!" I blinked and mentally smacked myself. He hasn't told me his name. So by saying that out loud gave me away. Shit. Oh shit. Me and my big mouth. He glared at me.
"How do you know my name?"
"Umm…a good guess?" I gave another nervous laugh. Amazingly, he got up from his bed and tackled me. And here I thought he didn't have the strength to do that just yet. Ok Regulus, now would be a good time to step in. When ever you feel like it. Hiei had me pinned down.
"I'll ask you again. How do you know my name? Did she tell you? Where is she?" Hiei scowled. Then I finally heard it. Regulus coming to my rescue. The silver-white cub with black stripes came prancing in and spotted us. He gave Hiei a nasty glare and Hiei got up. He looked around the room. My guess to hide.
"Where did you put my katana?" Hiei inquired.
"Your ka-what?"
"My katana, human," He snarled.
"Don't snarl at me buddy! I didn't find any… whatever it is.. around you when I noticed you at the playground," I muttered.
"So I don't have my weapon, marvelous," He growled at me.
"Calm down. Regulus won't do anything unless I give him permission," I petted the tiger cub. The feline was actually still young and in training but he still obeyed some of the commands. Like attack, sit or wait.
"You have some serious issues," I turned to the glaring male and he rolled his eyes.
Like you don't Celosia smart mouthed.
Tell him I said hello Shiva whispered to me and I shook my head.
I told him I didn't know where you were
If you inform him that she's here perhaps he will leave you alone Solace calmly told me and I gave a shrug.
"She says hello," I mumbled and his head turned to me.
"What?"
"Shiva. Shiva says hello."
"Where is she?"
Great, now what oh mighty genius. Do I tell him that you all live in my head? I scorned at the alien in my mind.
Exactly Hecate replied.
Have you gone mad? He wouldn't believe us! Celosia said in a British accent. I rubbed my forehead and noticed that Hiei was waiting for his answer. Ah hell. Might as well.
"Her soul is inside my head."
He cocked an eyebrow at me. I knew he wasn't going to believe me.
"She lives inside your head," He repeated, "How is that possible?"
"Hard to explain but she's not the only one in here."
Now that obviously got his attention.
"OK, I'll explain. There are five people in one body. Kind of like a cat with nine lives. Or multiple personalities but they're actually souls. There's Hecate, who's a robot. Solace the alien queen. Shiva the veela and Celosia the pyromaniac. Then there's me. My name is Varia and this body belongs to me. The others just roam my mind," I tried to clarify.
"Sounds like the fox."
"What fox?"
"Youko and Kurama," He answered. Oh yea... That helped me so much. "Whatever."
"Can I talk to her?" He asked me. He looked like he was about to drop down to his feet and beg me. Guess he and Shiva were really good friends. I nodded my head in agreement.
Shiva…He wants to talk to you I said to her and she smiled. I let her possess my body and trust me it always feels weird when they do that.
"Hello Hiei," Shiva smiled using my lips to make them curve upwards. My voice shifted and it begun to sound like Shiva's original tone. Hiei shuddered. I wasn't sure if this was a good idea but then I noticed something strange. Hiei's eyes had gone soft and dare I say it? Watery.
"Shiva…"
Shiva nodded my head and welcomed the hug as Hiei wrapped his arms around my waist. I twitched. It felt really weird having a guy hug you when you're not really in control of your body. His body felt really warm and what is he doing? Ack! He's nuzzling my neck! Hey! HEY! This is my body!
Shiva used my hand to gently stroke his hair, which by the way calmed him. I don't know how long they stood there…well I stood there but it was pretty long cause my leg started to feel all tingly. Shiva gave me back the control of my body and I shivered. Coming back was always like walking through a ghost. I looked down and realized that he was sleeping. Out of all the times to fall asleep! I tried to put him back on the bed but he had severe grip on me. So I plopped myself on the bed with him still attached.
Shiva, you do know that this means war Celosia growled.
I agree with her for once I twitched.
But he's nice! I promise he won't do anything to harm us! He never harmed me… Shiva's voice was somewhat sad when she said that and I sighed. I gave in. It was never easy to stay mad at the child.
You should rest, Varia. You haven't got any sleep either Solace said. I realized that she was right but all the sudden a thought came to me.
Hey, where's Hecate? I asked nervously. Whenever the robot stayed quiet meant a bad thing. Shiva giggled.
At the moment, Hecate doesn't want to say anything Solace smiled.
Why? I wondered.
She's blushing Celosia rolled her green eyes in frustration.
Eh? Blushing? Now this is interesting. A robot blushing. She told me she only had one emotion.
Yes, and she says she feels weird Shiva grinned. I blinked. Could the robot possibly care for Hiei? Things get weirder every day.

EternalMidnight: Thanks for informing me on how you pronounce Hecate's name. Lol. I hope this chapter is longer. If not tell me.
Wolf-black-flame: Hey girlie! Long time no see. Hope you update soon!
Raven: -slowly backs away- I get the point. I actually do have something against guys. I dated two guys (not at the same time) and neither were faithful. –growls but then smiles- But it's not like I don't have a perfect guy out there. I mean this universe is just TOO BIG for me not to have a guy.
Suntiger: Umm.. I have pictures of my characters ( Varia, Shiva, Hecate, Solace and Celosia) if you wanna see them. I'll just have to give you them in email. So if you want a pic let me know! Hecate looks downright gothic….
Suntiger: -sniffles- I only got three reviews. Meow.. why? Did I do something bad? –crawls into the shadows- I don't wanna come out. Leave me alone world.
By the way I got the votes.
Shiva-2
Varia-3
But it's not done just yet. So keep on voting!
