Me: Now the evil and weirdness begins…

Hao: If it has something to do with Marco, it's got to be creepy.

Me: You aren't exactly the king of normal yourself.

Hao: But at least I look sexy doing it!

Me: -rolls eyes- oh well, he's my second favorite character. Here's chapter 17! Thank you for all the lovely reviews from everyone so far!

CHAPTER 17

The bad weather wasn't understandable, no matches again, and everyone was getting worried. Lyserg asked Hao if he was doing this. "I'm afraid I'm not, and I can't seem to stop it." Hao said. Then the three of them spotted someone. It was pretty short, so it was either a child, a woman, or both. Even though ever else seemed preportioned, her belly stuck out of the baggy white robe she was wearing. She tried to run quickly, probably trying not to be seen. None of them could see her face, but her furyoku energy seemed familiar. Especially to Yoh. Her boots made loud clangs, but they all could see what was in the back of the robe. It was the X-laws symbol. But the only person that was that short was... Jeanne. How could that be?

It was too dark to see anything else. The storm was getting worse, and the winds blew harshly. Probably biting at the person with it's cold. But this woman moved forward anyway, no matter how much she struggled. Yoh wanted to try to help, but he didn't know for sure it if was who he thought. He gulped, not knowing that the other two did the same. Lyserg felt his mouth go dry, but all he could do is look in awe. All three of them thought it was Jeanne-sama, but Lyserg then thought it wasn't possible. She couldn't be pregnant, and she wouldn't be out walking in this terrible weather. But they stayed silent and watched the figure until they couldn't see it anymore. It was strange.

"Was that who I thought it was?" Yoh asked. Lyserg tried not to say yes, and then spoke his thoughts. "Who was that? I thought I knew her, but I didn't see her face." Lyserg said. "I thought it was that girl that the X-laws call Jeanne-sama. But it couldn't be, she looked... pregnant," Hao said. Yoh nodded. "It was no mistake, it was her. But I also felt another life force inside... could it be possible?" Yoh asked. Lyserg chuckled nervously. "Come on guys, we just saw her yesterday. She was still thin, and for you to be that big when your pregnant... you have to be like 8 or 9 months." Lyserg explained. Hao shook his head. "Not if a human and a ghost mate... but there's someone who knows the spell for that?" Hao said. Lyserg and Yoh's eyes widened. GHOSTS AND HUMANS COULD HAVE SEX?

Everything was silent for a while. No one wanted to say anything. They thought and thought, but no one could think of something that made any sense. How was that possible that that girl was Jeanne-sama? Hao knew it was her, but he didn't think anyone would know such knowledge and spells in this age. What were they planning? Why were they going through all this trouble to get revenge on some guy named Marco's death? He was nothing special. Could it be that... he and Jeanne were close...? But isn't that against the rules of their beloved god? Weren't they looked down by their sins?

"Nah, I'm sure that those X-laws would make Jeanne-sama give up her purity." Yoh said, with a carefree smile on his face. Lyserg sighed in relief and agreed. They waited for Hao to say that he thought the same, but nothing came out of his mouth. "I wonder what they're planning?" the elder Asakura twin mumbled to himself. His eyes were actually filled with worry. Why couldn't he predict what they were doing? "Onii-chan, are you okay?" Yoh asked. Hao nodded, though he didn't say anything. Both boys started to worry. This wasn't the calm and cocky Hao they knew... it looked like a scared dog...

CHOCOLOVE

We are at Chocolove's funeral... just kidding! He was happily eating with Manta and the twins. The four seemed to be getting along. But then Pirika started walking up by, thought she didn't see them. Chocolove got those lovey dovey eyes. Taylor and Sarah laughed and copied him, mocking the boy. He saw them and glared. Manta laughed. "Seriously Chocolove, why don't you just ask her out? I don't really know Pirika that well, but I know she's the kind of person that gives everyone a chance." the vertically challenged boy said. "How do you know?" Chocolove asked. Manta smiled. "I just do, now go!" he said, pushing him. Chocolove took a deep breath and walked in long strides.

"Oh hey Chocolove, what's up?" Pirika asked, finally spotting him. Chocolove decided to get serious. "Um Pirika... if there aren't any fights in the future, you want to go out sometime?" he asked. Pirika smiled. She had taken a liking to him too. "Sure Chocolove, if you ever stood me up ever though I'm going to kill you with a sickle." Pirika warned. "Then I'll come back from the dead and tickle you," Chocolove said. Pirika laughed. "Your so funny, how do people control themselves not to laugh?" Pirika asked. Chocolove smiled. He learned two things. Pirika has the sweetest laugh, and you should always listen to midgets...

THE NEXT DAY

The weather doesn't seem that bad today, meaning that there would be fights. Hao, Yoh, and Lyserg didn't have to fight though still. Though when they saw who was fighting, they gasped at the form of X-laws Jeanne-sama. She wore a baby doll dress that was pure white with white ribbons and frills. Even the lace and everything. But her stomach was sticking out. Just like the woman during the storm. But she stood with only one other X-law, the other team mate was Marco... but he can't exactly participate anymore. Their opponents were just Shamans from Brazil. Their energy levels were weak, and usually the X-laws would spare them. But they seemed to catch Jeanne-sama on a very, VERY bad day.

She yelled for her oversoul to chain them in the air and soon devour them. Her red eyes glowing with anger. The other X-laws yelled for her to stop, but she was like a stubborn little child that didn't want to listen to it's parents. She unleashed her anger and wished their screams of pain were Hao's. Oh she could picture it. And that boy who killed Marco. He would pay as well. Stupid Asakura Yoh, not joining her when he had the chance. The last member was eaten in pieces, first his right arm. His scream reached the girl's ear, making her laugh. Everyone thought she was going insane. She continued laughing until... SLAP! When she fell back, she let go of her oversoul and the one armed man held his bleeding shoulder.

The preist tended to his wounds and said that the winner was Jeanne's group. The man coward when his eyes met Jeanne's. "That's no girl! A monster! A monster I tell you!" he yelled. He shook and wrapped his arm around his body. Rocking back and forth. The blood still dripping to the land, but he didn't care. That girl said she was a servant of god, but how could she do such things? Such hate, such darkness... no servant of god was that unforgiving. The preist Silva didn't know what to do. He bandaged the man's little stub of an arm and looked at what Jeanne was going to do next. Ever since that blonde, Marco's death, she had been acting insane.

Jeanne touched her cheek and stared at her follower. "How dare you! DIE!" she yelled. The X-law screeched in pain, gripping at the place in his uniform where his heart would be. "Please forgive me Jeanne-sama!" he gasped. He was now floating in the air, his agony voiced loudly. The cold pain that shot at heart, like a frozen arrow pierced it. As soon as he stopped screaming did he fall back to the ground. He didn't get up. Jeanne left the battle field, and ordered the others not to follow her. This girl, the so called servant of god, was on the brink of insanity. Hao smiled evilly. "She is amusing, isn't she?" he asked. Yoh sighed. And Lyserg nodded in agreement. "But it's trouble some," Yoh said in his lazy manner. Then a light blinded them for a split second and something amazing happened.

The bond broke...

CHAPTER 17 OVER

Me: Argh! Why are the chapters so short! I got to stop that!

Hao: I know, the useless chapters are longer.

Me: Shut up! -sigh- Read and review, I enjoy comments and critisism (and help in spelling).
