SIM: Ok chapter 16. This is so sad! I'm almost done! I'm half excited, half dreading it. Oh well, on with the chapter. Ami, disclaimer, please.
Ami: SIM owns nothing.
SIM: Thank you.
Last time on Safe House
"I felt it when he was here. Empathy is a nice power to have at times like this." Ami explained, "So here's what we do…"
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"So here's what we do. Aya goes in to "surrender." Hiei will watch what she's doing and when she says the keyword… uh… squeakidy squeaker squeak… Hikari will open a portal to where she is and we kick ass. Then we go save Kurama." Ami explained her plain quickly, earning her a bunch of odd stares from Yusuke, Kuwabara and them while Aya, Shihira, Hikari, and Hideki just burst out laughing when she said the keyword.
"Squekidy squeaker squeak?" Kuwabara asked.
"What the heck is that?" Yusuke added.
"Long story meant for some other time when we're not planning to save the world." Hiei answered, annoyed.
"Well, one problem. What if he just kills her as soon as she gets there? Or what if there's something we missed. We'd be putting her in the lion's den." Koenma interjected.
"Well does anyone have a better idea?" Ami snapped back.
"Call them, and tell them we're gonna blow 'um up." Shihira suggested.
"Uh…no."
"I agree with Ami's plan. I can still fight just as good as before. And if I get in trouble I can just say the code word." Aya said, "Besides, I know Tadashi better than anyone else here."
"I guess you're right, though Kurama's not going to be too happy about this." Koenma admitted.
"Ehehe… what he doesn't know can't hurt us." Aya replied, sweat dropping.
-Meanwhile with Kurama-
"a-a-achoo. Hm, how did that old superstition go? Maybe someone's talking about me. Probably Aya, she's up to something, I just know it." Kurama said after he sneezed.
WWWWWWWWWThree days laterWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
"Today's the day." Ami thought as she walked downstairs. When she got downstairs, almost everyone else was already in the living room. It was around 4 in the afternoon. She walked over to Aya, who was slumped over at the table with her head in her crossed elbows.
"I don't feel so good." She said as she sat up to look at Ami. Her face turned slightly green and she got up and ran to the nearest bathroom to puke her guts out. The sink ran for a minute. When she came back she looked a little better. Less green, anyway.
"Are you sure you're up for this?" Ami asked, sweat dropping.
"Yeah, it's just this dumb morning sickness. Though, why they call it morning sickness when it lasts all day is beyond me. It's very misleading. They should call it 24 hours a day sickness." She complained.
"Aya? It's time." Koenma reminded her.
"Okay." She replied, paling for a second, but quickly covering it up. She walked over to where Botan was preparing a portal. Hikari was going to prepare the second one, so that Tadashi didn't recognize it. The blue portal opened up and Aya said a quick, "wish me good luck" before stepping through.
"Do you think she'll be ok?" Ami asked.
"I don't know. We can only hope." Hideki answered.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
-At Tadashi's castle-
Aya stepped out of the portal into a dark room.
"Jeez, this place is still as dank as ever. You'd think he'd make it a little more… homey." She muttered to herself as she walked through the doors into familiar corridors. She navigated herself expertly through them until she reached the throne room. She opened the door and stepped through to see Tadashi sitting in a chair twice his size. Aya rolled her eyes at this. Arrogant bastard… She thought to herself.
"Ah, Aya darling, I'm glad you came." He said, clueless as to her thoughts of him at the moment and how many ways she could think of killing him that were really gruesome. She sighed and tried not to throw up at what she had to do.
-Meanwhile with Kurama-
"Wake up fox." Kosuke said as he nudged him with his boot. Kurama woke up and scowled up at him. Kosuke merely sighed and turned around. He pushed a button on a remote type thing and a screen appeared, "The boss wants you to see this." The screen turned on and showed Tadashi and Aya in the throne room. Kurama kept his face, but on the inside he was screaming bloody murder and banging his head on a wall. What the hell is she doing here!!!!! He thought in exasperation.
-With Aya and Tadashi-
Aya straightened up and put on a smirk. "Tadashi-kun, it's so nice to see you." She said in a low, husky voice. She took a few steps towards him, swaying her hips suggestively. This was apparently not what Tadashi was expecting so he took a step back, "Oh don't be that way baby. You don't know how much I've missed you." She said and took a few steps closer.
"Y-you d-didn't seem l-like it w-when I saw you before." He stuttered out.
"Oh, but I was with my friends then. I couldn't say this in front of them." She replied all too innocently. She took a few more steps and Tadashi noticed her attire. She was wearing a black kimono that was hanging off her shoulders (the bite mark was glamoured so it didn't show up) and showing a bit too much cleavage. It had red butterfly designs all over it and let's just say it was very revealing. Her hair was up in a bun but a bunch of it was falling out and framing her face. He blushed and tore his eyes away from her clothing (cough chest cough perv cough)
"Um A-aya I-I u-um…you b-b-betrayed m-me." Tadashi stuttered out, blushing like mad. Aya put a finger to his lips.
"Shhh, don't talk now. I'm sorry about that baby. Youko had power. I didn't have a choice." She said, pouting and giving him puppy dog eyes. Apparently he didn't know what to say to that. Using his silence to her advantage she leaned up to him and met his lips with hers. Ew ew ew ew ew! Gross gross gross. She was mentally berating herself for doing what she was doing.
-Meanwhile with Kurama-
-"Shhh, don't talk now. I'm sorry about that baby. Youko had power. I didn't have a choice."-
Kurama couldn't believe what he was hearing… or seeing for that matter. She was KISSING him! He felt like he was going to be sick. It was like his heart was being crushed.
"Wow. That wasn't what I expected." Kosuke mumbled with a red face. Kurama just sat there, watching his mate being fondled by his rival.
-With Tadashi and Aya-
"Aya, I'm glad you've come to your senses." Tadashi muttered through kisses.
"Yeah, me too." She replied, banging her head on a mental wall on the inside.
"Be my mate, and forget about those friends of yours."
"Of course, but before that, there's something I have to say."
"What is it?"
"Sqeakidy squeaker squeak." Aya smirked sadistically as Tadashi stared at her in shock. Blood spurted out and covered one of her sais as she pulled back. A look of betrayal shown plainly on Tadashi's face, but she didn't care. A portal opened behind her and the others stepped out to see blood on the ground, pooling around where Tadashi fell, and covering Aya who stood over him with a bottle of mouthwash in hand and swishing like mad.
"Nice acting Aya." Hikari said teasingly as she stepped out of the portal. Aya, noticing her friends, put away her sais and looked up at them. She spit out the mouthwash and said, "Ewwwwwwww! That is without a doubt the worst thing I've EVER done!"
"Yeah, well it got the job done. Let's go find Kurama." Hiei suggested and they began walking towards the door when a voice came out of the darkness.
"Ah ah ah, pets, you're not done yet." Aya recognized this voice and immediately got an 'oh shit' look on her face. "It's been a long time, Aya."
"Indeed, a very long time, Trixie." Aya replied, turning to face the vixen that was in her memory. (Ya know, the one that was making out with Youko.)
"Tadashi was strong, but he never could resist a pretty face. That was the pervert's weakness and you exploited it to a T." Trixie went on.
"Yes, I did, but I was not expecting to see you here." Trixie laughed at this.
"Don't you get it? Tadashi was merely a puppet, meant to lure you here, so that I could kill you."
"Well I don't think I'll be the one dying today." As Aya said this, she materialized her sais and dropped into a fighting stance.
-With Kurama-
Upon seeing the vixen step out of the shadows, Kurama practically choked, "What the hell is she doing here!!!"
"Trixie's been the boss all along you dolt. You don't honestly think Tadashi could think this all up by himself did you?" Kosuke answered with a smirk, "well I best be going to help her." With that, he disappeared.
-With Aya-
"Why are you doing this, Trixie? Don't tell me you're still angry about Youko leaving you." Aya taunted.
"He wouldn't have left me at all if you little slut hadn't shown up." Trixie retorted.
"I don't know. He told me the only thing you had going for you was your looks."
"I don't know about that, Aya. This chick looks like she's been hit with the ugly stick." Hideki chimed in, "Ah, make that the ugly pool noodle. It's only her face that looks like she's had a little too much plastic surgery."
"Why you little-" Before she could finish her sentence, a black puff of smoke appeared next to her, "Ah, Kosuke, would you take care of little Aya's friends here?"
"Of course ma'am." Kosuke advanced, but everyone just rolled their eyes.
"Are you sure you want to do that, Kosuke? It's one against thirteen." Aya asked.
"Oh I'm sure." As he said this, Aya sighed. She lifted him up using telekinesis and Hikari sent two balls of fire at him. Needless to say, there wasn't much left. Trixie looked surprised for a moment before smirking.
"You've gotten better, Aya dear." She said. She dropped down into a fighting position. Hikari and the others began to, too, but Aya stopped them.
"No guys, this is between her and me."
"Well, you're quite confident, aren't you?" Trixie asked.
"Come off it Trixie, you couldn't beat me over a thousand years ago and I've only gotten stronger since then." Aya said with a sigh.
"Oh, but I've gotten stronger, too. Didn't Koenma tell you about the item that was stolen from the Rekai vault?" Trixie pulled out an item that looked very old. It was a necklace that had a medallion with the design of a dragon and a serpent intertwined. Aya recognized it immediately and rolled her eyes.
"Do you even know what that does?" Aya asked.
"Well… uh… I haven't tried it yet, but I know it's very powerful. You had it in your possession for a time, didn't you?" Trixie countered.
"Yes I did. It's used to ensure safe child birth… actually, I think that would be good to have right now…" Aya said thoughtfully, before realizing what she said and clamping her hands over her mouth, "ehehe, oops."
"WHAT! You don't mean… you can't be carrying his child!" Trixie exclaimed.
"Boy are you out of the loop…" Hideki muttered.
"I'm going to KILL you!" Trixie said and charged at Aya. Aya dodged and held up her sighs as Trixie struck at her with a dao sword. Aya parried it and struck at her, but she dodged. Trixie jumped back and sent a ball of fire at her. Aya dodged and used her telekinesis to disarm her. Trixie came at her again and Aya got out of the way, but she tripped over the bottom of her kimono and fell down.
"Oh yeah, great time to be a klutz, Aya." Yusuke shouted.
"Shut up! You try fighting in a kimono!" with that she rolled out of the way, just as Trixie was about to punch her, leaving a gigantic hole in the floor. Aya sweat dropped and started twitching, "That could have been me… ok, that's it." Aya yelled and instantly her skanky clothes were replaced by a fighting outfit with the same designs.
"Why didn't you do that before?" Kuwabara yelled.
"I don't now! I'm trying to fight here!" Aya called back, dodging two more punches. She struck out with her sais and clipped Trixie's shoulder. Trixie jumped back, holding her wound. She licked the blood off her hand and smirked at Aya.
"My my, little miss Aya has gotten a lot better." She said to herself. She charged again and Aya did a back flip and landed on her feet in front of her friends who had clustered together. She charged back at Trixie, but right before she got to her, she disappeared, "Where'd she go?"
"I'm right here." Aya whispered from behind her. She brought her sai down and tore threw Trixie's shoulder. Trixie let out a scream of pain and fell. Blood pooled around her.
"How'd you do that?" Hikari asked.
"I don't know really. You guys stay here and make sure she doesn't wake up. I'm going to go look for Kurama." Aya replied as she ran off through a door that led to a corridor. She looked for the door that led to the dungeon. She quickly found it and saw Kurama chained to the wall with his hands above his head. She leaned against the doorway.
"Hey there stranger." She said in a soft voice. He turned his head.
"Aya! Oh thank kami you're not hurt. Get me out of here." Kurama said in a rush with a smile of relief. Aya cocked her head to the side.
"No, I don't think I will just yet." She said and smirked suggestively. Kurama blushed slightly as she walked over to him and sat down, straddling his hips. Her lips claimed his in a matter of seconds and she didn't pull back until she needed air.
"This is so unfair." Kurama whined, referring to the fact that his hands were chained above his head and –cough- otherwise unusable. (yes it is like that perverts :p) They went on like this for a while until a certain nosy detective decided to check on them.
"Hey Aya, what's taking you so long… oh…. I'll leave you two alone." Yusuke blushed and turned around.
"-sigh- well I guess we better get out of here." Aya said and expertly picked the locks before turning and starting out the door. However, our favorite fox wasn't going to have that. He wrapped his arms around her stomach and whispering in her ear. "Don't think you're off the hook. As soon as we get home, we're finishing what you started." Aya laughed nervously at that and blushed.
"Suuuure… ehehe…"
"By the way, what happened to that kimono that you were wearing before?" Kurama asked, knowingly, making Aya blush even more and turn around.
"You saw that?" she asked nervously. Kurama just nodded and kissed her forehead.
"It's ok. He's dead. Although, the way he grabbed your ass makes me really want to bring him back to life and kill him again…" Aya laughed nervously again and they FINALLY got out of that dungeon and met back up with the others. Kuwabara, Yusuke, Ami, Hideki, and Shihira snickered when they came into the throne room. Apparently Yusuke told them what he saw in the dungeon…
"Let's go… wait a sec… where's Trixie?" Aya asked upon noticing that the vixen's body was nowhere to be found.
"Well, you see, about that… it sort of… disappeared. That's what I was coming to tell you." Yusuke said, scratching the back of his head and sweat dropping.
"You mean to tell me that that bitch is still out there somewhere?" Aya said, all too calmly, but a vain was throbbing on her head and her fists were clenched.
"Yeah, that's it basically." Yusuke responded, taking a few steps back from the enraged pregnant lady. (SIM: not a good combination…)
"When I get my hands on her I'm gonna…"
"You're not going to do anything, missy. You are going to go back to the house and Chuu, Rinku, Touya, Jin, Suzuka, Shishiwakamaru, Hiei, Hikari, Kuwabara, Hideki, Ami, Shihira, Yusuke and Kurama are going to track her down." Koenma stated.
"WHAT! No way. Uh uh. Not happening. You guys are so not going to leave me behind here." Aya exclaimed making an 'X' with her arms.
"But wait, there's more. We aren't coming back for eight months." Shishi stated earning him a wack upside the head by basically everyone in the room except Aya who just stood there dumbly, opening and closing her mouth like a fish.
"But, that's practically my whole pregnancy! That would mean you guys would get back a week before the baby's due." She muttered in a soft voice. She stared at her feet for a few seconds before turning and bolting out of the room, tears streaming down her face. Kurama ran after her and caught her wrist.
"Let me go." Aya said quietly, not turning around.
"Aya, you know I don't want to go, but I know demon world better than the others, and I know where Trixie would be." He said, tuning her around and pulling her close. She cried into his shirt for what seemed like hours, but was really only five minute. Soon they returned to the house through the portal. Aya climbed slowly up the stairs to her room and locked the door behind her. She flopped down on her bed and cried into her pillow. The guys left the next morning.
