Chapter 7: Pedestal

Can you believe it's already Chapter 7? *I know most of you are sitting on your duff thinking Uh yeah it's kind of easy to believe! well I don't care if your thinking that right now *I know you can't see it but I'm sticking my tongue out at the moniter, yeah I'm still a kid, but hey, who isn't?* now on with Chapter 7!

***Nori's POV***

How could that insolent little, little, LITTLE BAS----!! Do that to me!? I mentally screamed in my head for the 3rd time from running back into the bathroom. I thought they were supposed to protect me!? Not, not …. FEED ME TO THE PERVERTS!!! Ugh, this is so aggravating! To think I have to live here and go to school as his cousin!! I thought as I aggressively pulled on a pair of black pants with a black short sleeve loose fitting shirt. Well I better just go out there and get it over with quickly.

Okay this will be a little test of music knowledge. heh-heh

So the first one to guess the right artist or title of the song before I put up the eighth chapter will get an E-mail from me stating that they are the music champions of the chapter, then I will email the 8th chapter to them and let them decide the title! Plus they get to decide the next lyrics to go to the test of music knowledge, just be sure to E-mail me the artist's name and the song's.

Here are the lyrics:

Now I will tell you what I've done for you,

50 thousand tears I've cried

Screaming, Deceiving, and Bleeding for you.

And you still won't heeeeaaaar meee.

(this part might give away the song title, so I'll skip a couple of words)

Don't want your hand this time - I'll save myself !

Maybe I'll wake up for once! (wake up for once!)

Not tormented daily defeated by you - just when I thought I'd reached the bottom.

Can you guess correctly the artist or title of this song?

If no one get's it right I will tell you the name of the song and the name of the beautiful and talented artist, who every one says has one hell of a one-of-a-kind voice. I very much agree ^.^ L8R!!!! *Check her out on

When I got out there I was happy to see Yusuke *with anime tears coming out of his eyes* all black and blue. "Wheew." I said sighing.

"Now that that's taken care of." Botan said wiping her forearm on her forehead standing up looking down at Yusuke, with Kurama on the other side. "I think we should tell Nori about the school transfer." Botan said looking me in the eye.

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." I nodded as Botan started stating about me going to school as Yusuke's what-ever-it-was cousin.

"OK." I said uncertainly.

"Oh you will have so much fun at school, wit Keiko, and maybe I can even come sometime!". Botan said happily skipping over to me and clapping her hands.

"Suure, but who's Keiko." I said with a slight shrug of my shoulders, still looking at Botan's purpley eyes (Yes I know purpley is not a word…. I 'm not that stupid!).

"Oh yes you haven't met Keiko yet, well Keiko is Yusuke's girlfriend!" Botan said while turning around to look at yusuke on the couch with a pack of ice on his head.

"SHE IS NOT MY FREAKING GIRLFREIND---OOOOW!!" Yusuke said as I could hear popping coming from all over his body.

"Your lucky they didn't accidentally snuff you." Kuwabara said pointing at his face.

"Oh would you shut-up!" Yusuke said crossing his arms.

"So when will I be going to school?" I asked Botan, now that I think about it I hadn't been to school since the 9th grade back in America.

"Oh tomorrow of course. you'll have so much fun!"

"Suure she will." Yusuke said sarcastically.

From what I remembered from school it wasn't that fun, but I tried to hide my sarcasm and asked "So, do we have to wear a uniform?" I asked her eying the plastic bag in her right arm.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about the uniform, here." she said holding out the bag.

"Tea's ready." Yukina said poking her head out of the door's threshold.

"Oh, thank you my darling!" Kuwabara said jumping up off the couch next to Yusuke who was slowly-getting-feeling-back-in-his-body on the couch, and bounded over to the now giggling Yukina.

After everybody had finally made their way into the kitchen *Yusuke came 7min. Later than everybody* and were sitting around the table Hiei came in through the window, grabbed a cup then went and stood in the corner of the kitchen.

He must already know. Being telepathic and all. I thought to myself, or so I thought.

***Around 10:00 in the night***

Your pedestal is falling down, falling down --------------------singing

Your pedestal is falling down, duh-da-da-da-da (ooh,ooh)

I know that song! I thought as I bolted upright in my bed from about ½ an hour of sleep.

I jumped out of bed and started walking down the hall way to where the song was coming out of --- Yusuke's room.

He better not have scratched a CD!

I opened the door to see Yusuke sitting on the floor with a boom-box next to him. Bobbing his head in tune to Pedestal.

Record sales are on the mart, 'cause that's about the time the rumors start.

Where all the people talking out of the air.

Well some ones got to sue you 'cause you got no class.

"What are you doing to my CD?"

"Listening to it." Yusuke said looking up at me with the look of innocence.

"That's fine, but I don't want to find a scratch on it or you owe me a new English-version Fergie CD, and could you turn it down?!" I said looking down at Yusuke.

"Yeah, just don't go getting to bossy, shee." after he reached over and turned down the volume he asked me:

"Hey, do you really want to go to school?" Yusuke asked me in a quiet voice.

"Well let's just say, I could live without it." I said in the same tone. Then I quickly added:

"Good luck with Keiko." I said with a wink then left the dumbfounded Yusuke looking at me like 'Why you little son of a -----.' and sprinted down the hall to my bedroom.

***In the morning***

I quickly pulled on my new school uniform. Then I slipped on a pair of Capri's underneath it.

No one will notice it right? Oh well to late to think about it.

I ran out of my room and into the kitchen to get some breakfast.

"Well look it's sleeping beauty." Yusuke said eying me.

"Well sorry I haven't been forced to wake up by an annoying beeping sound and had to get it together all before 6:45 and on top of all that I don't even know where my back pack is!" I said almost yelling at Yusuke.

"Calm down." Kuwabara said looking at me and then at Yusuke.

"Oh, Botan said Koenma told her to give you this." Kurama said as he picked up a brown bag and handed it to me.

"Sorry for snapping at you Yusuke, it's just Dammit I'm not a morning person!" I said looking at him and picking up a piece of toast from the plate on the table.

"We'd better get going!" Kurama said looking at the clock on the wall.

"B-but I just started eating." I said giving him a pitiful look.

"No time for that let's go." Kuwabara said hauling the moaning Yusuke up by the collar of his shirt and walking out of the door with Kurama in suit.

I got up and quickly scraped the plates together and brought them over to Yukina. "sorry about the commotion at breakfast." I said while slightly bowing.

"C'mon let's go!" Yusuke yelled from the door. "Fine were leaving with out you!"

"Wait, wait, wait!!!" I said running out of the door after them.

There's chapter 7, please at least try for the music knowledge!

- L8R! :3
