little Mary-Sue is what keeps us all interested :)

Raelyn's POV
"What are we supposed to do when she wakes up?"
"Debrief her. She needs to know what's going on, and what will be happening now that she understands her situation. She'll be housed at Genkai's from now on. There's no other option."
"And if she tries to create one?"
"Then we are prepared."
Darkness. Just the back of my eyelids. My senses were dulled. I could...feel...but everything was muted. Listening...Shuichi? Then, a sort of pure but hardened voice, and a harsh and jaded one. Open, I told myself, but my eyes remained shut.
"...sense her?"
"It's a defense mechanism. Only those familiar with and openly searching for the energy signal can find it. But it's not perfect. For other demons and those humans whom are spiritually aware, and even those whom are not, there is still an unexplainable pull to her. No one realizes why they are drawn to her, just that they cannot help themselves. The most that we can reason this from is her lineage. Though it may not be as abundant as it was when man and demonkind first emerged, there are still and always will be forms of worship towards them. Perhaps there is just a sense of connection to them through her."
Kurama's POV
This girl...confused me to say the least. She had referred to a 'they'. Was she aware of where her abilities came from? She was an interesting case. From what I personally gathered of her, she was a very dark person. Not in a personal way, but she had a very dark, almost artistic quality to her. After all, our class together was majority male students, most of AP stature there for a challenge. She was there because she was genuinely interested in the psychologically dark part of the human mind.
It was an uncomfortable situation to be in. The three of us sitting there, silently waiting for not only Botan to retrieve Yusuke and Kuwabara, but for Adelyn to regain consciousness. The once comfortable chairs where now stiff and uninviting. I opted to stand.
Hiei's POV
This girl was strange. One would think that given the gift she was and on the scale that it is, she would be a carefully selected perfectly capable host. You would be incorrect. She was human and unbelievably foolish. She was impulsive and incredibly frail, not to mention lacking in any kind of ability to handle stress. It was a waste, so much it disgusted me.
Adelyn's POV
It felt like I had been sitting here for millennium. Floating, unable to wake myself from this half-hearted slumber. The silence was driving me crazy. They weren't talking anymore, just occupying themselves with nervous habits. Pacing, finger tapping, the occasional sigh. I was dying. I needed to wake up and get out of here. I can't be here, I'm not supposed to be here. This isn't right.
The mental battle with myself continued for some time, through Yusuke and Kuwabara joining the mix with an undoubtedly extra female body. I was itching to move, to blink, to do something. Every second more I spent laying here was another that I could feel the uneasy impulse to make a break for it seeping through my pores.
What confused me the most was when they spoke to each other. There was one side, which was the normal human conversation, but then there was another that was making the situation even more uncomfortable. It was the side in which they spoke of me, not just me but me as an item, something that needed protecting. And all of this talk about my ancestors, are they the ones who control me? The ones that cause these impulses and gave me this ̶ ability in the first place?
Kurama's POV
As we all sat around and played the waiting game, we could all feel the atmosphere weighing heavier on us. The tension was almost nauseating.
"Uh...hey guys I think she might be comin' around..."
It didn't take a second for all eyes in the room to be glued on her. The tips of her fingers were twitching slightly, and you could easily see the slight scowl in her mouth from the strain of bringing herself to. Then, just like that she was awake, jade eyes mixed with a flurry of emotions. Confusion, anger, fear, doubt. She looked like a caged animal.
"Well, good morning sleepy head!" Botan had always been the one to ignore circumstances.
"I'm just going to be realistic here and take it you're looking for the answers to quite a few thing: Where am I? Who are you? What do you want? I assure you that we are here to do nothing more than assist you. We understand your confusion, and we are here to help clear all of that up. My name is ̶ "
"I don't want your help."
Normal POV
"I don't want your help."
"Ah...well I understand where that may be coming from, but you really don't have a ̶ "
"A what? A choice? I don't think you understand what I'm saying to you. I don't want your help, your protection, or your explanations. Don't you get that life is hard enough for me as it is? I don't want to know why everything is the way it is. I've dealt my whole life coping with the fact that I'm some bizarre freak of nature. I don't want a reason for it! I don't even want whatever it is! So do me a favor and just leave me to what I can make of my life, I've done it for seventeen years so far without you, or any of you for that matter! I'm just fine all by myself. I've been friendless for my entire life, so don't go thinking that suddenly a few weeks of hospitality will restore my faith in the human race or give me any reason to cling to it. It doesn't. Please, just get off this high, chivalrous horse, and leave me be."
"Botan, take her home."
"What?"
"You heard me, take her home. She's made it very clear that she does not want to be here, so take her back to where she's supposed to be."
Adelyn's POV
"...take her home."
Finally, some logical thinking and proactive action. No more of this utter insan ̶

Kaelyn: Sorry for the wait on this one! I've just been ultra busy with finals and finishing up school, not
to mention my work ethics are kind of horrid ... but I've resolved that to right a bit everyday,
so I don't feel pressured to write a whole chapter in one sitting. That kind of awakens my inner
procrastinator. Remember! If there's anything faulty or something that you just think would be
a nice part of the story, don't feel ashamed to let me know! I love doing little personalized bits
to make you happy :D
