Flashback
Koenma quickly answered Hiei's question. He was already having a headache; he wants this to end, already. "Genki will explain it to all of you. And so you need to be prepared. After two days, report back here and Botan will all lead you to the temple. Dismissed."
Ch 5: Only Me
Genki's temple
(OC's POV)
"Kill that child! She is not meant to live! Kill her"
"Please, take my life instead! Spare the life of my daughter!"
"DIE!"
I quickly sat up from my futon. I was sweating in my forehead and so I wiped it away with my right hand as I clutched my chest with my left. I hate these dreams, it keeps on reminding of my past; my family's past.
"Beep. Beep. Beep". Damn. I quickly turned off my alarm and paced into the bathroom to freshen up.
I quickly ran out of my room and continued towards the hallway. I was wearing my jacket over my purple tank top when I saw Yukina waving at me. "Good Morning Sa-" she said but I quickly cut her off. "Mornin'!" I yelled as I passed by her.
Damn, sorry Yukina. I am so late; she will kill me. I glanced at my wrist watch. Only 30 seconds left. I speed up my run and turned around the corner. 10 more seconds. Then I saw the door to her room. I smiled to myself, I was definitely going to make it…but I guess I said that too late. As I started to slow down, I started to slip.
So I guess you get the picture. I started slipping on the damn floor, I skidded on the damn floor and I entered her room in a different way, fly-through-the-door-way.
"What kind of idiot are you? You could at least enter an old ladies room with manners!" Master Genkai shouted at me as she looked at the hole in her sliding door. "By the way, you are 0.5 seconds late, you know what's the punishment." She added.
"Sorry, I told her quietly, I forgot to set my alarm clock." I closed my eyes, hoping that she will buy my lie. She gave a heavy sigh and turned her back on me. "Better set it right or I will be the one waking you up." And she left. I smiled as she turned the corner, Master Genkai was something else; I was the type of person who does not trust a person completely without getting to know them inside and out; I mean it, inside and out but here I am, completely comfortable in a place with a person whom I only met for two days.
"That went well," said a silky voice.
"Agreed," replied three voices in unison.
I growled in frustration; I'd rather take ten of Genkai's punishment than be humiliated by my own annoying sisters. But I guess the Gods must hate me and gave me four older sisters that love to torment me every day of their lives.
"I guess you saw us, right?" I asked. A girl with black hair like mine and icy blue eyes said cheerfully, "Yup, everything, from your stunt to your "little talk" with Master Genkai". By the time she mentioned the word "stunt", I was fuming but she continued, "Your face was so priceless when it smacked unto the door." A chorus of laughter was heard after that.
This time I was about to burst. "Shut up" I shouted at them as I grabbed a bowl and dumped cereal in it. Pure silence was heard as I ate my cereal. Well, I can't blame it, my sisters and I only arrived here and we are "in hiding". I remembered Koenma telling us that our existence should not be felt by the Demon world. I held my lava necklace (1) which was a gift of my father to me when I was only one year old. He promised me that through that necklace, my sisters and I will be safe. But the life we are living now is not safe. We are here, hiding from the world, hiding from greedy demons, we are nothing! I just stared at my bowl but I was distracted when one of my sisters asked me, "Will you eat or just stare at the damn bowl?" I quickly snapped out of my trance and I quietly placed my bowl in the sink. I need to get out of here fast.
But before I could leave, my older sister approached me and reminded, "Remember that Koenma's team will meet us, I still don't know the complete detail but I think they will be our new bodyguards.
I nodded my head as I went out the door. I breathe in some air and in less than a second, I disappeared.
At the bottom of the stairs (of the temple)
"Damn that Koenma!" yelled Yusuke. He wants to make sure that his favourite toddler gets the message that he hates stairs.
"Come now boys. Everyone is waiting for us," whined Botan. "Besides, you don't want to have a lecture from Genkai," she added. And with this Yusuke ran towards the stairs while shouting, "Well, what are we waiting for?"
"Baka" replied Hiei. Kurama only chuckled. Yes, everyone was now ready.
When they reached halfway of the staircase, Yusuke suddenly blurted out, "Hey Guys (Kurama and Hiei), what more do you know about the "chosen ones?"
Hiei remained silent. He left his friend to do the talking. "I'm sorry Yusuke but as Koenma said, we cannot get further information until we meet them.
Yusuke only nodded and said with a wide grin, "Bummer, and here I thought I was the famous one."
"Come on guys, we still have halfway to go," whined Kuwabara. "My dear sweet Yukina, wait for me!" he shouted as he raced up the stairs.
The rest of the group just followed the trail left by Kuwabara but none of them noticed the red dark eyes that spied on them.
