DDL: On the last chapter of Lost or Found we found two of our character faced with a huge problem. Lishers and Hiei destoryed the house and in fear of Lor decided to feel town to see Lishers strange sister Tiffany! Before they left though Kurama reveiled to Hiei that he was in love with Lor and wondered about his feelings towards Lishers. Hiei did not I repeat did not give an answer. In the morning Lor discovered Lishers note and decided it was a fake and they were going to get married. Not wanting to miss out she showed food down her mouth and Kurama and they left in a hurry.
Lishers: That was a mouth full.
Kurama: I don't think she's done.
DDL: SHUT UP!...-clears throat- What will happen in this chapter! Will Hiei reveil his love? Will they figure out that message? What does five more days mean? Are they going to get married? Will Kurama tell Lor he loves her? Will they finally figure out why Kurama and Hiei are in their time zone dimenson place? Read through to find out.
Hiei: That was pointless and a half.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lishers and Hiei stepped off the plane and went to collect their bags. The whole time Lishers couldn't stop laughing at Hiei because he had to move and sit next to what he called an annoying old hag. She constantly nagged him about the way he dressed, sat, spoke, and anything else you could think of; even how to eat. If Lishers wasn't there and if there was a chance he wouldn't have to go to jail again he would have slit her throat.
"Shut up, already." Hiei glared coldly picking up their bags.
"About what?...Me sis said she'd pick us up. I called her and she sounds really nice. She already has one kid this is the second one. Kali, I believe, and the first is...I wonder what me sis looks like..."
"One topic at a time! Stop saying me sis! Argh...I sound like that old hag."
"Lishers?" said a tall purple haired, red eyed women wearing black jeans and a tight white button up shirt.
"...Tiffany?" the strange women ran up to Lishers and yanked her off the ground into a hug like a rag doll. "Let go! Let go!"
Lishers fell with a plunk on the floor. "So, you're Hiei right?" she didn't wait for a reply. "Nice contacts. I got a red pair myself." Tiff took out the red contact to reveal the eyes the color of true sky blue. "Let's go to my place now." she put contact back in as Lishers got off the floor and followed her and Hiei to the car.
- Air port -
Lor and Kurama dragged their feet towards the area they parked. It would seem they were getting no where fast.
"LOR!" an unearthly cheerful voice rang out through the parking lot. Lor whipped around with the speed of light but not fast enough cause she was knocked down. When Lor opened her eyes Kurama was helping Kelly off her. "Sorry, Lor." Kelly dusted herself off. "What are you doing here?"
"Uh...we were trying to get tickets to California."
"Where's Lishers? She knows one of the people that work there...Ben, I believe. They go way back he says."
"They won't sell us tickets."
"That's strange." Kelly winked at Lor. "No worries. I'll help."
Back inside the air port Kelly talked with the man called Ben while Lor and Kurama stayed in the far back of the building near the exit prepared to walk back out.
"Sorry...about the kissing thing earlier." Lor kicked an imagery pile of dirt.
Kurama built up some courage and tried to ask a question. "Did you..." he felt so embarrassed by just the thought of what he was going to say next that Yoko quickly took over. "Do you want to kiss me right now?"
Lor looked up into Yoko's eyes and slapped him across the face. "You say the most idiotic things, pervert."
"Ben said that Lishers told him not to sell tickets to Lor and Kurama and not to let me buy tickets for you guys, sorry." Kelly crossed her arms.
The group stared downward trying to figure out there next course of action when an idea zapped into Lor's mind. "There is one flaw in this plan...Lishers can't remember who Yoko is so Yoko can buy us tickets."
"Are you sure?" Kelly questioned.
"Well, we could pull some random drunk off the street or something."
"Go get them tickets Yoko."
- Tiffany' House -
Lishers and Hiei sat in the kitchen with Tiffany while her husband, Andy, took their things to the guest room. A little boy that could be no older than five ran up to Hiei and tugged on his coat.
"Hey, mister. Play! Play?"
"Sebastian," Tiffany said in a motherly tone. "What do you say?"
"Please?"
Hiei looked at Tiffany then to Lishers then at Sebastian then at Lishers again. "Go on. He doesn't bite...I think..." Lishers gave Hiei a little push as Sebastian led him out of the room.
"It's been awhile since our last talk." Tiffany started pulling two cans of RC out of the fridge. "I heard you got in some sort of accident about…..what… five years ago? I was moving to here then so I didn't know and it's not like you write much so I had to track you down. Last time we talked you were going by the name Lishers. I can see you still are. You've changed your name so many times it's hard to remember what your real one is. I swear every week was something different when you ran away from home." Tiffany giggled as Lishers processed what Tiffany was telling of the past.
"Tiffany...I can't remember my past still and I'm not really sure if you are my sister...please stop talking about the past. I'm not ready for it." Lishers closed her eyes "It'll shorten my time."
"I figured that out when I saw you at the airport. You didn't say been awhile sis, you don't want me to talk about the past, and Hiei as been given me death glares since he has been here."
Lishers rolled her eyes. "He does that to everyone but anyway I wanna know how you've been."
"Well, I got married to my husband Andy. I had Sebastian while you were in a coma. Before you said..."
"Tiff."
"Oh, right..." Tiffany cleared her throat and took a sip of RC. "I own a flower shop down the street and my husband has an anime store so we have odd working shifts."
"That's neat. I can't even remember what I did yesterday."
"What?"
"Shhhhh...From what I can gather I've been forgetting things faster and faster like getting old timers at an early age. Oh, well, just don't tell Hiei."
"...Alright. You know, I was surprised you even came." Lishers giggled thinking of the reason why she did come. "I was more surprised you brought a man instead of Lor." Lishers sank in her seat and sipped her RC thinking of how she met Lor. "You and Hiei are married right. I can't believe you settled down. That explains the tie around your hand, that holds your wedding ring right." Tiffany went on and on.
"Married...Hiei...married...a match made in hell...he'd probably blow up hell..." Lishers sunk farther in her seat changing her thoughts to how to tell Hiei about this when Tiffany grabbed hold of her hand.
"I wanna see what it looks like." she unrifled the tie as quickly as possible and was shocked to find Lishers hand all torn up. "Lish Lish your hand!"
"Ah..Uh...I..ah..broke glass in my hand."
"Figures with you. You never could control your anger. I'll get ace bandage but I still wanna see that ring." Lishers fiddled with her wedding finger trying to figure out a plan.
"I can't just make a ring appear...come on, think of something..." Lishers jolted up straight when she felt someone touch her hand.
"Where's your bandage?" Hiei asked looking over the cuts and trying to hide is face.
"Tiff went to get me new ones...what's that on your face?"
"Nothing." Sebastian ran into the room covered in finger paint.
"Mister! Mister, I told you not to move."
Lishers giggled lightly. "Hey, sub man your auntie needs to see this man for a bit. He'll come back and play later."
"Okay..." the boy whined leaving the room.
Lishers tilted Hiei's face up to find it covered in different shades of paint. "It's not funny."
"Yes, it is." she giggled lightly and switched to serious mood and stared into his eyes. "We have a problem."
"What sort of problem?"
"Lishers I found it! Do you have your wedding ring?" Tiffany shouted from some where far off.
"Ring?" Hiei questioned.
"She thinks...uh…well, we're married. Surprise!"
- Air Flight -
Lor watched out the window as they flew over another town. "When will we arrive again?"
"Sometime tomorrow." Yoko answered slamming his fist against Lor's laptop.
"Give me that before you break it." Lor snatched her laptop back and searched the web for Tiffany's baby shower. After a long, long time which was really long she finally found it. "Lishers...Lishers...Here it is!" Lor whispered pointing at the screen and gasping. The screen read:
Vicky Carlson
Lishers Jaganshi
Sam Park
"Is that really Lishers last name because Hiei as that last name?" Yoko asked glancing over the names.
"I really don't know. She never said and Kelly didn't know her last name. Strange huh...this proves they got married! I can't believe I missed the wedding. Oh well, we'll just have the greatest after party of all time."
"Why didn't Hiei tell me he was getting married. Maybe I influenced it or something. How dare he not invite me!"
- Late night at Tiffany's House -
"I'm sure the shop will fix your ring up nice and good so when you make your next visit I really want to see it and wedding pictures and anything else you can think of." Tiffany chanted on and on leading Lishers and Hiei to their bedroom. They didn't know how to protest since they were suppose to be married and all. Tiffany opened the door slowly like she was revealing something really special and fireworks would go off any minute. "I know. I know. It's small but it's the best we got. The baby shower is early like one p.m. ish so don't sleep in." Tiffany left without a backwards glance.
Lishers thought her sister was crazy for saying the room was small. Sure it wasn't as big as the others but it was bigger then her room at home. To the right of the room there was a small wooden closet that blended well with the indigo wall coloring. The king sized bed was to the left of the room with royal blue pillows and covers seeming too comfortable for any living soul. Since they were on the second floor straight forward there was a set of fancy doors hidden behind thin blue curtains that lead to a small balcony.
Lishers walked over to the edge of the bed and sat down. Hiei leaned against the wall near the closet. "So, I guess, you can take the bed and I'll sleep on the floor." Lishers stared at the carpet trying to figure out if it was soft or not.
Hiei stared at her like she was stupid. "There is a tree outside. I'll sleep there." He walked over to the fancy doors when Lishers grabbed his arm.
"I'm not letting you sleep outside."
"You can't sleep on the floor. You have a cold remember?"
Lishers let go of his arms and whispered "It's not that bad..." They stood in the room trying to figure out a plan when Lishers had another bright idea. "How bout I sleep in the tree and you take the bed?"
"No."
"Then we'll draw a line on the bed so that we know which side to stay on."
"No."
- An hour of fighting later -
When Hiei was sure Lishers had finally fallen asleep he rolled silently out of bed. He opened the door just wide enough to slip out and headed downstairs. He walked into the kitchen and slowly made his way to the freezer. As he opened it a women's voice came from behind him. "We need to talk." Hiei dropped the freezer door, turned to face the women, and stared into none other then Tiffany's eyes.
- Dom and Largo's living quarters -
"I wonder if they understood." Dom said to Largo as he opened their apartment door. They walked in and threw their stuff on the ground.
"Who cares." Largo walked over to the fridge and pulled out a can of beer. "It's been two or so days since we've been home. Let's relax."
Dom walked over to their answering machine and clicked some bottoms.
A lady's voice was soon heard. "You have one message. Message one : Hey, Dom, this is Lor. I wanted to talk to you in person but I can't get a hold of you so I decided to leave this message. I'm going out of town for a couple of days and I don't think our relationship is working out so I'm breaking up with you. P.S. Largo, Lishers is breaking up with you too. Sorry she didn't call but she's tied up with another man. End of messages."
"That just ruined relaxing time..." Largo crushed his beer can thoughtlessly squirting beer everywhere.
- Morning In California -
Lishers brought her right hand to her eyes and rubbed the sand out of her eyes. Lishers stretched her right arm then went to stretch the other when she noticed somethingheavy on it. She rolled her head to the left to have her lips brush against Hiei's shoulder. Her brain shut down for about two minutes. When her brain reactivated, she used her right arm to drag her self away from him. The weight from her left hand slowly increased as it wrapped around her wrist and pulled her back.
When she was close by him again the heavy weight returned. For once thinking of what to do, Lishers, decided to check out the weight problem. She lifted up the cover gently revealing the secret of the weight: Hiei's hand. Lishers glared at the hand so hard it could have exploded.
"There was two in the bed and the taller one said 'Roll over! Roll over!' so they all rolled over..." Lishers took her right fist and thrust it into Hiei's side, throwing him into the wall. "And Hiei fell out...painfully."
- The Baby Shower...Located At a Church Somewhere -
Hiei leaned against a wall watching all the guest come in and go into another room. Hiei tried to erase the pain inflected on him last night by Lishers sleeping habits and the fact that Lishers wanted to kill him for going against the stay-on-your-side agreement when it was her fault.
- The Baby Shower Room -
"Hey, Lishers, I know it's none of my business but you don't look to good." Tiffany put her hand to her forehead.
Lishers pulled her hand away. "I'm fine...Where is Kali? I haven't seen her yet."
"Andy is bringing her soon. Kali two weeks old now. We held off the baby shower as long as we could so you could get here..."
"She just goes on and on." Lishers coughed into her hand and excused herself to the restroom.
Not long after she left Andy arrived with Kali. Kali was passed around the room like a football and was pinched on the cheek to many times to count. When Kali came back to her mother they decided to open the gifts. Toys, clothes, bottles, and even a cross was given to Kali. She took one look at the cross and burst into tears.
- The Restroom -
Lishers coughed heavily into her hands walking towards a sink. When she was done coughing she pulled back her hands to find them drenched in blood. She washed it away and looked at herself in the mirror. "Three more days..." She slapped herself in the face. "Come on, Lishers! You can beat this!" She smiled at herself proudly and walked back towards the baby shower area.
She heard crying beyond the door and then someone started singing. She leaned her ear against the door to listen more closely.
'inch worm
inch worm
grow up big and strong
inch worm
inch worm
stay just as you are
grow up to be a girl
that everyone will adore
so close your pretty eyes
and dream and dream...
and listen to the music of your heart'
"That song...I remember it...I think I wrote it..." Lishers clutched her head in pain. "Who is singing that song!?"
- The Baby Shower Room -
Hiei held Kali and rocked her back and forth. The church women gossiped about his singing voice and whether or not he should join the choir. Tiffany smiled at him happy that Andy had brought him back to the room. Hiei carefully handed Kali back to her mother.
"Where did you learn that song?" Andy asked curiously.
"Lishers taught me it...Where is she?"
"She'll be back soon no worries." Tiffany said looking at Kali's sleeping face. "She probably got lost. It'll be fine."
Hiei's eyebrow twitched as he took a few steps back. "I'll go find her..." He walked towards the door and opened it slowly. He looked down and saw Lishers passed out on the floor. Hiei darted his eyes trying to figure out what to do. He closed the door not wanting to disrupt the party and she could not be taken to a hospital. Hospitals and demons just don't mix.
Hiei picked her up and took her to the room he had been standing in before. He laid her down on a pew and checked her temperature with his hand. "She's burning up"
From almost nowhere a familiar voice cried. "Hiei! Lish Lish!"
"Lor?" "A doctor!" "Lishers needs help!"
"WHAT!?" Lor ran over to Lishers and checked her out. She sighed in relief "She should be ok. I can't believe you two. You run off and get married. You don't even invite us. Then we couldn't get tickets, missed the wedding, and now Lishers is hurt!" Lor picked Lishers up off the pew and started walking towards the exit stilling ranting on. "I had to put up with Yoko and now I was here for about an hour and have to go back home to help Lishers..."
"What...is she talking about?"
Kurama looked at him with puppy dog eyes. "How could you not invite me to your wedding?"
"...We're not married. Lishers told her sister that so her sister wouldn't think strange things or something like that. We ran away to escape Lor's wrath. You know, lay low."
"Oh, but Lor said..."
"I don't care what Lor said!"
"Temper as usual. Maybe we should send you to rehab..."
"Get lost. I'll be out after a leave a note for Tiffany."
"Your new love?"
"Lishers sister!"
"Just don't leave it written in blood."
- Outside in a rent-a-car -
Lishers twitched and grunted in the back seat.
"Hold on Lishers. You can make it. You just have a fever...I think."
"...Damn you, Koenma!..." Lishers shouted falling silent.
Lor tried to wrap her thoughts around the words that came from Lishers mouth.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lishers: OMG! What's wrong with me?
Hiei: I never knew I could sing...
Lor: Let's start a band.
DDL: -rubs temples- The song 'Inch Worm' I wrote for my niece who is about one month old now during her baby shower cause I was bored out of my mind. We were in a church and the old folks were scaring me (we have no young people at our church besides me and my niece who is by the way named Kali too.) This expirence is also how I came up with most of this chapter. I thank thee older sister.
