A/N: I just now got back from my orthodontist. O--how I despise, loathe, and hate him. He makes me experience pain--which is not something I deal with well. I hate him...I HATE HIM AND WISH HE'D DIE. -looks around for Kayla Dawn- Where's a frying pan when you need one?
My dad says nobody ever dies from having braces. Well how exactly would HE know, when the retard orthodontist probably buries his dead patients beneath his office? Besides--why do you think they wear gloves, anyway? (-evil glare- to hide the evidence, that's why...they've been getting on our good side ever since they crawled from the bowels of Heck, those orthodontists...BUT I SEE THROUGH THEIR THIN CHARADE!)
On a brighter note, this means I am not going to youth group and that I have time to type and publish lots of stuff. And this means that I have lots of time on my hands. -looks around for something to dump time on- -notices computer- -gladly dumps all time on monitor and immediately zones into the Internet- -spaces out completely- -forgets what we were talking about-
Notes:
Hm...OK people have been asking for me to elaborate on what I want from them.
Let's see...
Kay (not Ana) : Yes by all means elaborate on the six heads. And all six showing up will be unlikely and I am bound to change one teeny little fact to fit the story. Is that OK? Namely how often the six show up.
Dragonheart 7: Why don't you like Magus Black? Is there something wrong? -confused- And also DON'T CURSE ME! -snarls- I AM UN-CURSABLE, AND INSTEAD I SHALL CURSE YOU, SHOULD YOU MAKE THAT FOOLISH MISTAKE! (JK.)
pices Aquarius: Thanks for giving her to me. I like writing about kitsune's...for some odd reason they're my favorite kind of demon. -shrug-
Magus Black: That is a very good point, I mean the shoes...no I have never been kicked with them but I do own a pair...are these Dutch shoes, just asking 'cause I'm curious. And plus--have you ever walked in them? It's like walking in cement blocks. And make sure you don't step on anything that could possibly stick to your shoe--say for instance, a nail. Which I have done. And I see your other point, the question one. Well I will eventually come up with something. And also yes I have -counts email addresses- five addresses.

-----------------------
The King, successfully drinking himself into a state of unconsciousness, ordered Eijiro before he clonked out to show his guests to their rooms. She nodded, catching the King as he collapsed from consuming so much sake.
Kurama, who hadn't had much sake, was immobilized in the process of dragging a very drunk Alianore across the floor. He frowned before hoisting her over his shoulders and carrying her instead.
Eijiro led the way into the hanare (see last chap for translation). Kurama followed, Alianore singing country songs and quite badly at that while taking a piggy back ride on his back. Kurama heaved a sigh and set the drunken kitsune demoness on the bed provided for her.
"Kurama-kun," she crooned from the bed, her hair falling onto the floor, her head hanging off the edge. "Come sit with me."
"Alia," Kurama relied, "I don't think so."
"Please?" she asked, still holding a bottle of sake. She tipped it back to drink from it, only managing to spill sake all over herself. Kurama, heaving another sigh, went and fetched some towels to clean her up. He ordered her into the shower.
She smiled goofily at him and tried to pull him in with her, despite the both of them still being fully clothed. Kurama shoved her off and locked her in the bathroom until she was finished.
When the shower finally stopped, Kurama unlocked the door to let Alia out. She came tumbling out all right--but not wearing anything but a clumsily strung towel around her shoulders.
Kurama tried to look away as he tried to assist Alianore in putting her clothes back on, since she was incapable of doing anything but hiccuping and singing "A pirates life is for me" over and over again, and only those words, too, since she didn't know the rest of the song.
Alianore got the smart idea of trying to wrestle with Kurama as he tried to help her, and succeeded in pulling his shirt off. Eijiro chose this moment to walk in.
The ferry girl dropped the glass she was holding and covered her eyes, slamming the door as she yelled, "Sorry I interrupted!"
Kurama dropped Alianore and opened the door. "Wait--it's not like that!" But Eijiro was already hurrying down the hall, her face buried with embarrassment in her kimono.
Alianore crawled on the floor over to Kurama. "Who the hell is she?" she slurred. "What...did she come...hic...in here...hic...for?"
Kurama rolled his eyes and picked Alia up off the floor, carrying her back to her own bed. Alia complained the whole way there of not liking heights, and proceeded to vomit over Kurama's shoulder.
After dumping the demoness on her stomach on the bed, Kurama, completely wiped out, started to clean up the mess that his friend had made. During the midst of scrubbing the floor, Alia's cell phone began to chirp.
Kurama picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU TWO!" screamed Botan. Kurama held the phone out at arms length, rubbing his ear.
"Helloooooo, Kurama-sama," drooled the voice of Kay over the phone.
"Hello Kay," he said back. He heard her hit the floor at the sound of his greeting. He placed the phone beside his ear again at the risk of losing his hearing.
"Greetings, okashira-san." came the monotonous voice of Ryu. Obediently she let her other team mates take over the phone to yell at and greet him.
Somehow Mar-lo wound up with the phone. "Hey Yoko!" he screeched into the phone. "What the hell are you doing with Alia? You're not trying to take advantage of her, are you? Well are you, fox-boy!"
"Give me that!" Botan shouted over Mar-lo. There was a loud crash, the phone crackled, and finally clicked off.
Alia lifted her head. "I heard Marbles," she said, mixing up Mar-lo's name. Kurama tossed her the phone, which hit her in the head because she wasn't paying any attention. Her head dropped back down as she fell asleep.
---------------------
"Now look what you've gone and done!" Botan screeched. "You broke my phone!" She whacked Mar-lo over the head. He ducked, and she instead slapped Ryu.
Silence ensued as Ryu turned her head slowly to look at Botan. "You are going to die soon," the young hanyou informed her. Botan gulped as Ryu started walking away, back to where ever she'd been to begin with.
Kay got up from her trance and followed Ryu. "Hey! Ryu-chan! Wait up!"
Ryu suddenly paused. "Why do you keep following me?" she asked.
Kay smiled, trying to catch her breath. She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "Because we're friends, that's why."
Ryu raised an eyebrow. "I don't have friends." she stated matter-of-factly.
Kay cocked her head and bent her knees slightly to come down to Ryu's height. "Come on. I'm your friend. Our whole team is made up of your friends."
"Mere acquaintances."
Kay put her hands on her hips. "Friends," she corrected.
Ryu narrowed her eyes. "Can you even define this term you so loosely use? Friends?"
Kay was unfazed. "Someone who is always there for you is your friend."
Ryu's face soured, and she turned, continuing her walk. "Always is the equivalent of almost. Almost and always are terms that should never be used."
Kay stared after Ryu for a moment before following her. "I'm still your friend." she said, persisting. Ryu slowed, then stopped.
"You being my friend does not necessarily make me your friend." she growled. Kay put a hand on her shoulder, but it sank through and came out of Ryu's wrist.
Kay yanked back her hand. "Ryu-chan!" she exclaimed. "I thought Kurama-sama told you not to turn wraith in public!"
Ryu didn't listen. "What I do is my business," she snarled, turning around to face Kay. She opened her mouth wide, revealing huge, pearl white razor fangs, and emitted a sound that was unbearable and high pitched--a loud, screeching, crying wail. Her eyes glowed violently red, threatening to change her to a wraith here in public.
Kay noticed a group of spectators watching them act so strangely. She looked at Ryu, who was threatening to screech again. She attacked Ryu with a hug--sending her back to her demon form. She dragged Ryu back to the team while hugging her, disguising the ghost-like creature beneath her.
"I'm going to kill you," Ryu's muffled voice sounded.
"That's just great, can it wait until we beat the shit out of the King?"
A pause. "Yes."
-------------------------
A/N: -sigh- I still don't have nearly enough characters to even hope of starting, so mostly right now this chapter is stalling for time--er, I mean...oh well. Anyway, the next chapter will be the actual fights starting, and yes I still need lots of characters, so feel free. Hm...I really am at a loss for words right now. And if you want to be put on either TianLung Feng or TC please do so ASAP since they are going real quick. The other teams aren't so lucky-- Team Seppuku, Team Hitokiri, Team Ei, and some others I haven't thought up names for yet.
And a note: I still despise my orthadontist. He's evil, I tell you.
-another sigh- Ja for now, until the next chapter!
