Ch.7
Laughter filled the house as Jessica, Kaito, Kitsune, and Edward walked in….well more like stumbled into the house like a bunch of drunks….
"That gasp was haha great!" Jessica exclaimed through gasp for air and burst of laughter as she collapsed onto the green satin couch in a graceful heap, taking over the whole thing giving a contented sigh at the feel of the cool fabric against her skin…of course THAT peace could NEVER last long!
"Umph!" Jessica grunted as the wait of yet another human being settled itself on her lower back grabbing the remote from her hand as she turned her head to glare icily at him.
"Off. Now Kaito." She stated calmly as she fixed him with a glare…unfortunately the only good that did was cause that damn chester cat grin to spread across his face…Never should have allowed him to watch Alice in Wonderland….
"Now why would I do that?" He stated in a low voice as he leaned down to her ear. "Your way more comfy…" His husky voice sent shivers down her spine as he blew gently against her ear causing the hair at the back of her neck to bristle as she glared at him playfully from the corner of her eyes not even bother to turn her head to look at him as she rested on her head on her crossed arms looking at the T.V., ignoring the extra weight on her lower back as she made herself comfortable again as her eyes focused on the anime show that was playing on the T.V…wasn't sure exactly what it was…it was two in the morning after all…
"You cheated" she finally mumbled out only to have it even more muffled by her arm causing her to sound even MORE childish than she already did.
Kaito and Kitsune burst out laughing at this tidbit of info…having been around her long enough to know exactly what she had said…
Oh did I mention Kitsune had just gotten out of the shower and decided to only wear a very short towel that was wrapped around his waist and that's all?
Resting her chin on her arms so that she could get a could look at him, kicking her legs in the air slightly since she seemed to always need to move one way or another, she gave a slow appreciative once over his body, fallowing the water as it glided down his chest before looking back at his face a lazy smirk gracing her face as she stated. "You trying to seduce me or something?" the mischievous look in her eyes ever present as she watched to see what he would do next.
He walked over to her slowly every movement of his body graceful and seductive with a purpose to it all as he looked down at her with the eyes of a predator.
Craning her neck to look at him the smirk still present she waited to see what he would do next in their little game…
He leaned forward slowly, leaning into the ear that Kaito wasn't already hovering over.
"And what if I am? What would you do?" he whispered huskily with a dangerous underlying tone that seemed to promise many pleasurable things to come.
Jessica eyed him before she let her eyelids hood her large eyes pulling up to her elbows and then her hands in one smooth graceful movement that caused her back to arch in a very cattish way…while forcing Kaito to get off of her. Slowly, moving her face up to look him in the eye leaning forward on her hands as she positioned herself on her knees to steady herself as she moved her face so that her lips were only inches away from his own.
And just then there was a flash in her eyes before she leaned over to his ear smirking evilly.
"I'd say you…FAILED!" and with that she tackled him to the floor rolled over to the side and made a mad dash for the kitchen hoping to get there before Kitsune snapped out of it, Kaito's laughter fallowing her the whole way…
With the yyh boys in Spirit world
"Ok let me get this straight." Yusuke gritted out through clinched teeth as he took a threatening step closure to the cowering form of Koenma…and a crying George… His eyes blazed with fire as he continued his threatening slow way to Koenma…" You want us to find these four with the only info being three are guys and one is a girl and the girl should be around our age?!"….now Yusuke was practically steaming through the ears….ok so his face was red to…what difference does that make!?!
Koenma shrunk back slightly before taking a deep breath to calm his nerves before looking back at all them with calm eyes his hands folded on his desk trying to look official…which is pretty hard to do when you look like a toddler…. gotta give him props for trying: hear clapping in the background:
"Anyways as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted!" He gave a pointed look at Yusuke who just crossed his arms with an 'Hmph' and turned to look away. "We believe the girl of the group just moved her yesterday." Yusuke twitched, causing everyone's attention to be drawn to him not that he cared he just glared at them before giving them all the finger….good old Yusuke!
"Yusuke." Koenma directed in a very official tone. "If you know anything we need you to tell us. Even if it is just a hunch or a suspicion or just something that matches with what we have stated so far."
Yusuke said nothing he just smirked and flicked them off again… "Sorry toddler! But you ain't getting shit from me!" Yusuke finished with a cocky grin as Koenma started twitching like a mad man at being called a toddler yet again but before he could go off on his usual rant Kurama decided to step in.
"I do believe what Yusuke is worried about is the safety of his sister." Kurama stated calmly with his ever calculating eyes drawing the attention of all the member of the group…except for Kuwabara who was fast a sleep mumbling about being the warrior of love or something….
"And why is that, Kurama?" Koenma addressed giving him his full attention.
"I do believe that Yusuke's sister just moved here yesterday."
All was silent even Yusuke… he was to busy glaring at Kurama at the moment…though he'd probably get over his anger at him soon…or at least that's what Kurama hoped…
Koenma's eyes darted between the two before stating. "Then she must be watched by one of you at all times." He was cut off from going into anymore detail by no other than Yusuke.
"I can prove she's innocent. You said she'd strike tonight, right?" receiving a nod he continued "Then she wouldn't leave her cell phone on would she?"
Everyone gave him a blank look before Koenma stated slowly…very slowly. "Most people don't at three in the morning…"
Yusuke smirked. "She does so that she can keep in contact with her friends in America."
All was silent as Yusuke dialed the number not waiting for Koenma's consent; he'd been as polite as he was ever going to be today!
As the sound of ringing echoed through the room everyone seemed to hold there breath...except for Hiei and Kuwabara…Hiei was just watching in interest instead.
It rang once, then twice…three times…
With Jessica
Jessica was hiding behind Edward's leg at the moment laughing hysterically at Kitsune whose beautiful black hair was now covered with goby brown chocolate pudding…with the bowl still on his head. Edward was smirk in amusement while remaining as a shield in front of Jessica while Kaito was sliding down to the ground in the doorway, his legs no longer able to support him from lack of air because all his laughing.
Jessica was clutching onto Edwards leg like a child trying to keep up as she peeked around at the very angry Kitsune sticking her tongue out childishly. "It's your own damn fault!" she concluded dropping one hand from her death grip on Edwards pants to point childishly at him as little onyx Kitsune ears flicked playfully on top of her head and her little onyx fox tail thumped against the floor as she smiled up at Kitsune through her bangs as she gave a small smile with a little fang sticking out.
She was about to say more when a shrill rig echoed through the house. Everyone froze as the all listened. It ringed again and Jessica slowly got up from her kneeling/split position on the floor and slowly fallowed the sound her fox ears twitched at the slightest of noises.
Walking back into the living room she did a quick scan of the room knowing the guys were fallowing her before leaning against the wall and picking the phone up from the cherry wood table beside her. Flipping the black phone with a silver dragon encrusted on it open she put it to her now human ears and asked quietly. "Hello?"
"Hey Jess! It's Yusuke!"
"Oh hey! Sorry it was an unknown number and I don't usually get those you know!" she laughed while winking at the guys letting them know it was ok but to still be on guard.
"So Yusuke, where are you? It says you're calling long distance." She asked strategically as she looked over at Kitsune and Kaito who were both setting up a recorder and a tracking system to the phone, as Edward listen carefully to every word I said looking for any hints that they knew about us or even suspected us…
"Uh well…You see…uh that's a long story!"
"No prob!" She walked over to the couch and flopped down again with her feet resting on the arm rest. "I got a lot of time! After all after that scare I'll never be able to get to sleep now!" She smiled sweetly as she manipulated her voice to sound like she had no clue that he was trying to get out of answering and made seem like he was trying to be nice for her benefit.
"…" the sound of the dial tone rang through her ear.
He hung up…Well that answered the question of where he was…or at least why he'd called…
She glances over at the guys meeting there calm knowing eyes with her own.
Slowly bringing the phone down from her ear she hung up not once taking her eyes away from them…slowly she lowered her eyes as the silence seemed to suffocate the room.
A few minutes passed and no one said a word. No one moved.
Slowly she raised her eyes to meet theirs'
"….I have to go." She stated quietly, her eyes held a fragile look to them that seemed to match the innocent tone of youth in her voice that seemed like it would shatter if you so much as touched it.
Kaito and Kitsune automatically jumped to their feet storming angrily up to her grabbing her by the shoulders ruffling and shaking her forcing her to look up at them. There eyes were frantic as they searched her own sad broken ones.
"You are not leaving" Kaito stated a determine and serious gleam to his eyes as his mouth tightened into a perfect frown.
"If you do we'll turn ourselves into Spirit World" Kitsune added from his place behind Kaito his eyes serious, calculating and deadly his mouth in a perfect set line, his arms crossed over his chest, and she knew the moment she looked up at him he was serious… they would not leave her to face this alone.
She glanced over at Edward he simply gave her the slightest of nods, the same look on his face as the others had.
Slowly a small smile graced her face as tears started trekking down her cheeks. Her eyes widened in shock as one trembling hand went up to her cheek whipping the tears away only for more to take it's place as she pulled it away to look at it in the light. She couldn't help but stare… she couldn't remember the last time she allowed herself to cry… and she knew now that she started she'd have to wait for it to run it's course…which could be a long time…there were a lot of tears to shed these last couple years…
"Well this sucks" Jessica muttered under her breath as a true smile crept on to her lips. "It seems I'm stuck with you guys!"
Laughter filled the house once again both sad and happy as all their thoughts turned to the problem ahead…What to do about the Spirit Detectives?
Around Noon
Jessica groaned as the damn constant ringing of her alarm insisted on waking her up. Reaching her had out to grab it and destroy it, her eyes still close…her brows furrowed… where the hell was it?! Her hand continued groping around trying to destroy the annoying sound that was not just giving her a headache but was also starting to actually succeed in waking her up!
The ringing stopped. And her hand froze waiting… daring it to start again…it did…but now she was awake enough to realize it wasn't her alarm clock….it was her phone. Groaning she reached down into her pant pocket tugging it out and slowly bring it her head as she flopped over onto her back. Sighing she flipped the phone open and before she could even say hello-
"Where the hell are you?!" Yusuke's voice yelled causing Jessica to yang the phone away from her ear.
Slowly putting it back she questioned sleepily "w-wha?"
"Mom says you never came home last night!"
Well as you can guess this really wasn't going over well in her sleep induced mind and it was taking quite awhile for her mind to process it all. Throwing her arm over her eyes to block the light she answered slowly.
"Yeah. So what? Neither did mom…" Jessica mumbled under her breath cursing her dear brother within her mind for daring to wake her up.
"Jessica." He stated in a warning tone that of course Jessica paid no heed to. "Where are you?"
She thought for a moment or to trying to figure out if she should give into the temptation to play with his mind or tell him….part of the truth.
"I'm over at one of my Friends house since some of my American friends came to visit so I won't be back home for a while." She stated… what?! It was partly true…
"How long is a while?" the suspiciousness in his voice was obvious.
"Couple day, weeks, months…" she shrugged on her side of the line it really didn't matter to her.
"Get YOUR ASS HOME!"
Rolling her eyes and letting a playful smirk rest on her lips she slowly with drew her arm from her eyes as she flipped over to lie on her stomach.
"Not a chance Bro!" She stated in a all to happy phone before drawing the phone away from her ear and turning it off effectively putting a stop to his cursing and ranting and raving..
Snuggling her head back into the pillow she slowly started to drift back to sleep…only to literally be Jerked out of it by Kaito who had one arm around her waist as he picked her up and carried her in that position that was very much like how you would carry your luggage, if it was small enough, under your arm.
"where's the fire?" she mumbled sleepily as far as she was concerned the only reason to wake her up that would be accepted was if she got to kill someone, got to steal something, got to shoot something, they were about to die, or the house was on fire or flooding or going to be struck by lightning or something…any other reason would not end well for the fool who dared to wake her…
Speaking of that I'll have to send Elmo after Yusuke…
Of course she got no answer but a mischievous smirk from Kaito as he opened the door and carried her out side…
Her eyes widened as she started squirming in his arms looking up at him frantically with pleading eyes. "You wouldn't do that?! Would you?" she already knew the answer…and she wasn't going to like one bit of it…
If anything Kaito's smirk widened. "It's just to damn boring when your asleep.."
Jessica's eyes widened even more as her they darted every which way frantically looking for an escape route…
"KAITO! DON'T DO THIS!"
