SIM: FINALLY!!! That took 4 ever. I'm sorry it took me so long to update, but I got sucked into this really good book, Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, which I finished in, like, three days, and then I read the sequel, New Moon, and finished that in two days! Then I had to catch up on all the updates in the 22 stories I'm reading on fanfiction. Anyway, enjoy this chapter! Hiei, Disclaimer please.
Hiei: Why me?
SIM: Cuz I'm the authoress and I say so.
Hiei: -sigh- fine… Shadow Ice Maiden does not own anything. Actually, I'm really glad she doesn't…
SIM: Hey!
Hiei: Well it's true.
SIM: Just be glad Shihira doesn't own it. Then there'd be hell to pay… On with the chapter!
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
The day after our little truth or dare fun, Ayaka awoke to the sun shining in through her window and the birds singing their respective songs. She rolled over and attempted to fall back asleep, but soon a knock came at her door.
"Ayaka! It's past noon! You have to wake up." called Ami from the other side of the door.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't be asleep and then give me one reason why I shouldn't hit you with a stick!" Ayaka called back.
"I told you! It's past noon!" Ami responded.
"Not good enough!" With this Ayaka rolled over and pulled her blanket over her head. Ami let out a frustrated yell before heading down the stairs and into the dining room where the rest of the team ate breakfast.
"Guys! Aya won't wake up!" she whined.
"I know how to get her up." said Shihira with a smirk.
"How? I don't trust you for a second." Hikari stated with a suspicious look.
"You'll see." With that, Shihira climbed the stairs toward Ayaka's room followed closely by the rest of the gang because there's no way they'd miss Shihira waking Ayaka up. No matter what it was, it was sure to be bad. Shihira quietly opened the door and snuck up next to Ayaka's head, whispered something in her ear and backed away as far as she could go. As soon as she was done telling Ayaka whatever a scream erupted from her lips and she bolted up. She turned an angry face to Shihira and two sais materialized in her hands.
"You are so DEAD!" she said, walking slowly towards Shihira.
"What'd you say anyway?" asked Hikari. Smirking, Shihira whispered the same thing to Hikari, Ami, and Hideki before bolting out of the room as fast as she could. Ami and Hideki burst out laughing while Hikari slowly unsheathed her katana.
"She's going down." Hikari whispered and Ayaka smirked in return. They bolted out of the room and chased Shihira all over the house.
"What was that all about?" asked Kuwabara which earned him clueless expressions from everyone else. Eventually, after racing around the house twenty times, they tired out and came in for breakfast. They sat down at the table with Hikari and Ayaka both blushing and Shihira just smirking in triumph.
"So what was that all about?" asked Yusuke to break a very awkward silence. This only caused Ami and Hideki to burst out laughing again, Hikari and Ayaka to blush even darker, and Shihira to smirk more.
"You don't want to know…" said Ayaka quietly before returning to her cereal. Shihira laughed out loud and smirked again in a rather smug way.
"Kurama and Hiei." She said through giggles. At this, Ami and Hideki fell out of their chairs laughing while Hikari and Ayaka stood up and shouted, "Shut it or else." Hikari began to unsheathe her katana, but Ayaka stopped her, an evil grin spreading across her face.
"It's ok Hikari. I have an idea." She said rather manically.
"What?" Shihira said growing very nervous.
"ZADR" Ayaka simply replied. (ZADR stands for Zim and Dib romance. My friend who Shihira is based off of is a total zim fan and if you use ZADR on her she'll stop calling Kuama gay which she does sometimes just to get on my nerves. HE"S NOT GAY!"
"You wouldn't." Shihira said slightly gasping.
"Oh I would." Aya replied smugly.
"OK fine, I take it back." Shihira replied desperately. Ayaka and Hikari smirked a bit and Ami and Hideki rolled on the floor laughing.
"Um… if I might ask, what is she talking about and how does it involve me and Hiei?" Kurama asked hesitantly. Ayaka merely blushed furiously and turned her attention to her breakfast. Kurama then turned his attention to Hikari who was currently having a mental conversation with Hiei through telepathy, though she wasn't telling him what Shihira meant. Eventually, Ami recovered from her laughing fit and proceeded to explain, "She was talking about yaoi. Aya and Hikari absolutely despise yaoi and if you use it on her she'll most likely kill you. Shihira's really lucky she's a fast runner." Ami burst into another fit of laughter.
"So what does that have to do with… oh wait… never mind…" Kuwabara began but realized mid sentence what they were talking about. Kurama and Hiei, along with Aya and Hikari were blushing a color redder than Kurama's hair.
"Can I kill her now?" asked Hiei thoroughly embarrassed.
"No, she got what was coming to her. Your claim has been avenged." Said Ayaka with a smirk earning a 'hn' from Hiei.
"Anyway, let's all agree to never speak of this again, ok?" said Hikari.
"I second that emotion" replied Kurama, whose face was just beginning to return to its usual color. The rest of breakfast passed by silently and that silence couldn't have been more welcome.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
After the most eventful breakfast, our team could be found attempting to relax in the living room. Hikari, Ami, Botan, and Hideki sat on the floor in front of the fire place, Hiei was at the window seat as usual, Kurama and Ayaka shared the couch, Keiko and Yusuke were on the love seat, Kuwabara and Yukina sat on the floor in front of the T.V., Shizuru and Atsuko were in the kitchen, and Genkai sat on the floor sipping tea.
"Geez, how long have we been here anyway?" asked Kuwabara after heaving a big sigh.
"A while, probably a few months." Hikari replied. At that Ayaka jumped up and shouted, "Wait, what's today?"
Ami was a bit startled but she glanced over to the calendar and replied, "It's August 7th. Why? What's wrong?"
Ayaka didn't pay attention to her question. "We have to call Koenma! Before I-- oh shit, it's too late!" she looked around frantically for a second before sprinting to the door and jumping in the pool.
"Umm, what just happened?" asked Yusuke in a state of shock. Ami glanced at the calendar again and burst out laughing. Upon closer inspection, the date August 7th was circled in bright red.
"What's so funny?" Kuwabara asked, but Hiei, Hideki, Ami, Hikari, and Shihira were on the floor laughing, Kurama had a serious 'oh shit' look on his face, Yukina and Botan looked concerned, and Genkai sat smirking and chuckling between sips of tea. Hikari was the first to recover and sat up red-faced before proceeding to explain, "It's that time for Aya." before breaking out in a giggling fit. Yusuke paused momentarily before being struck with realization and joining the others on the floor in laughter. However, Kuwabara and Keiko were still incredibly clueless.
"What does that mean?" Keiko asked.
"Well, it's sort of the opposite of the human period. This is the time where a demon's body basically says, 'you need to find a partner' and the demon gets very easily aroused. In laymen's terms, it's mating season." Kuwabara and Keiko exchanged glances before putting on concerned expressions.
"But, this is bad! None of the turn outs on this are to be desired." Yukina said with an even more concerned look than before.
"Yukina's right. The way I see it, there are two outcomes. One, Aya mates and gets pregnant which I'm sure she's not ready for, two, Aya doesn't mate and goes into serious PMS. That's really bad. For you humans, picture human female PMS times 100 to the tenth. Either way it's bad." Hideki explained bringing a grim expression to all the team members' faces.
"To tell the truth, I feel sorry for Kurama." Ami mused.
"Why's that?" The rest of the group gave her an odd look before she started to explain, "Well, he and Aya have been putting this off for like…1500 years. Each year it gets worse so this year it's going to be really really bad. Combine that with the fact that we can't leave this house and you downright better fell bad for him."
"Somebody should call Koenma and tell him." Hikari suggested. With that Botan pulled out a communicator and left the room to talk to Koenma. Meanwhile, Ayaka had resurfaced in the water. Kurama went outside up to the pool and held out a hand.
"Feeling better?" he asked as she took his hand and he pulled her effortlessly out of the water. When she got out of the water, she was shaking. Kurama wasn't sure whether it was from the water or from that time of year, but either way he pulled her into a hug and whispered quietly, "Shhh, we'll get through this."
"I'm gonna go take a shower." She whispered back before taking the quick way, jumping up the branches of a tree and jumping through her bedroom window. She really didn't want to face the others right now.
About an hour later, Ayaka had fallen asleep and a knock came at her door, "Aya? Koenma's here." Kurama called.
Aya got up sleepily and trudged to the door. She opened it and standing there was everyone in the whole gang, but all she was worried about was the little bottle that Koenma was holding.
"Yes! Koenma, you are AWESOME!!!" She exclaimed before tacking the bottle and running to the kitchen for a glass of water.
"Um, what was in that bottle?" Kuwabara asked.
"Pills. They suppress her instincts so that she has a bit more control. But it's not fool proof and they don't suppress the feelings completely so don't do anything that would allow her to become aroused." As Koenma said that last part he shot a meaningful glance at Kurama. (Not that he thought he would intentionally compromise the situation, but he doesn't really have to try. He's just too charming)
"This is going to be a long week…" Kurama stated massaging his temples with one hand and walking down the stairs.
