StR: I would like to note I made a mistake in the last chapter. I put 'Rei started to dance around the warehouse.' I meant to put 'Rei's lighting started to dance around the warehouse.' Sorry. But I have happy news!
Y: Like what?
StR: TOMORROW IS MY B-DAY!

If an ambulance is on its way to save someone, and it runs someone over, does it stop to help them?
Chapter 8: Meltokyo
"What's wrong with Rei?" asked Kurama.
"Well, her powers are out of control," said Hatori.
"Such the live of an elemental psychic," sighed Ayame. The guys finally had a chance to have a good look at him. He had pale skin, long light blue hair, and matching blue eyes. Very very hot.
"Elemental…psychic?" asked Yusuke.
"A psychic with elemental powers. Of course every now and then we gat some with out elemental powers," said Ayame.
"What about Rei? How do we get her powers under control?" asked Hiei.
"With this," said Hatori holding a syringe needle, "But we can't get any where near her."
"That's why were here," said a voice from behind the guys. They turned around quickly to see two girls and one boy. The boy had spiked blond hair, blue eyes, and a yellow headband. He was holding a camera up to his eye. The girl who spoke hand long brown hair with cold brown eyes and a copper headband. The last girl had wavy long electric yellow hair with teal eyes and a white headband with a lighting bolt in the middle.
"Are you crazy? You could seriously get injured!" yelled Ayame, "Right Hatori… Hatori?"
"Zoe shouldn't get hurt, lighting doesn't affect her. Ami and Yuu could take to much of her lighting in but right now we really don't have a choice." Hatori gave the brown haired girl the needle. She and Ami went inside Rei's hospital room. Yuu went over to Ayame and plopped his camera in Ayame's hands.
"Here, get everything on tape. If I'm to die I want everyone to know I died an honorable death," he said. Everyone sweat dropped
"You're not going to die," sighed Ayame.
"You don't know that." Yuu went inside. From the window the guys could see Zach and Ami taking in most of Rei's electricity that danced around the room and Zoe sticking the needle in Rei's arm. After all the purple liquid from the needle was gone Rei's lighting faded away. Ami and Yuu collapsed with swirling eyes. Zoe grabbed the two by the collar and dragged them out.
"Told you," she simply said and walked away dragging the other two with her.
Rei groaned as she sat up. "What happen?"
"You're powers got out of control," said Hiei startling Rei.
"Geez Hiei, don't do that! Where are we?"
"In Meltokyo."
Rei nodded her head. "Oh- HOW'D WE GET HERE? Wait you about Meltokyo?"
"That doctor told us everything."
"Everything? What exactly did he tell you?"
"That cities like Meltokyo are throughout Makai and they are inhabited by humans called elemental psychic. He also told us that you're a Spirit Guardian. But he didn't tell us what a Spirit Guardian is."
"It's kind of like a Spirit Detective. We help good demons and we try to keep most of the b-class demons away from the Kakai (?) barrier. We so other stuff too. Is that all he told you?"
"No, he told us that you disappeared from here three months ago."
"Yeah…Where are the others?"
"Don't change the subject."
"Where are they?"
"If you're talking about us, we're right here," said Yusuke at the doorway. He came in and threw Rei a water bottle.
She caught it. "So where are those other guys? You know the two hot ones, with the kid and the drunk?"
"We told them they could leave," said Kurama
"Oh…I was really hoping to get to know those hot guys better…" sighed Rei.
"Well it's good to know that you haven't changed one bit," said Hatori who just walked in. Rei screamed and pulled the covers over her.
"Keep him away from me!" she cried.
"It's not my fault you don't come to your appointments and have to see my bad side," said Hatori.
"You have a good side?"
"I would if I didn't have to chase around you and Ayame all the time. Ayame was a good kid before you came to this town."
"Really he was? That's amazing!"
"Yes now go to the living room. Master Roshi wants to see you."
"What makes you think I want to see him?"
"What makes you think you have a choice?" Hatori and Rei had a small glaring contest. "It's your decision whether to go or not but it is also my decision whether to upgrade your shot or not."
"You wouldn't!" yelled Rei.
"I would."
"What kind of a doctor are you?" asked Yusuke.
"A really cool one!" shouted Kuwabara.
"Go," said Hatori. Rei got out of the bed and walked to the door. "Oh and Rei?" Rei turned around. "Your next appointment is in a month, exactly one month. You better be here." Rei stuck out her tongue and left with everyone following her.
The gang was walking down a long hallway.
"Where are we?" asked Kuwabara.
"Still the hospital," said Rei. "We're almost outside." A short time after they came to a door that lead outside to a beautiful garden. "Follow me." They continued walking down a dirty path surrounded by trees on the side. At the end of the path was a tall set of stairs.
"This is just like the old hags place!" wined Yusuke. They started the long walk up the stairs. Half way up a group of girls came walking down. They stopped when they spotted Rei.
"What are you doing here?" asked a girl how seemed to be the leader of the group. She had pink hair and brown eyes.
"I live here," said Rei.
"No one wants you to," said the snotty girl. The four other girls that were with her glared at Rei.
"Is that right. I guess Zoe, Zach, Yuu, Ami, and Ayame are nobody. Hm and I thought you liked Ayame. Guess not." Rei started to walk again. The boys looked at each other and shrugged then ran after Rei. Yusuke ran up beside Rei.
"They don't like you very much do they?" asked Yusuke.
"What gave you that idea?" said Rei. "The fact is a lot of people don't like me."
"Why?" asked Kuwabara.
"Long story."
I could actually put that long story into a simple sentence. It was because I was half demon. Yes, I Rei am a half demon, half human freak. Dirt is a holy being compared to me. You see why I didn't want to tell them what I was. The fear of them hating me swallowed me whole.
At the top of the stairs was a dojo. They went inside and took of their shoes.
"It's huge!" awed Yusuke.
"A lot of people live here…mostly they visit and eat all the good food. A boy with gray hair and gray eyes came out of a door that was on the right.
"What'd you do Ami and Yuu girl?" asked the boy.
"Hey Shin. Wait! I didn't do anything!" shouted Rei.
"That's not what Ayame and Zoe said."
"Where are they now?"
"In the living room." Rei looked at the door Shin came out of.
"No I have to go in there!"
"Sucks for you," he said going up a set of stairs that were at the right.
"Shin! SHIN!" Rei sighed. "Come on lets get this over with." The boys followed Rei inside the living room. In the room was Ayame, Zoe, Yuu, Ami, a gut with blue hair, a girl with orange-red hair with blue tips, a guy with white hair, and a guy who looked like the guy with white hair except he had black hair. Ayame, who was sitting on the couch, turned his head to Rei.
"Hey Rei," he said
"Yo."
"You weren't cheating on me while you were away, were you?" he asked, which confused the gang.
"Now why would I go and do a thing like that?" said Rei, which confused the gang even more.
"Alright!" they both said giving peace signs.
"Don't you two ever get tired of doing that?" asked the blue hair one.
"You do have a girlfriend Ayame," said the girl with orange-red hair, "and you Rei…well you don't have anyone yet but…he has a girlfriend!"
"Thanks for reminding me Aki," cried Rei.
"She available, Hiei," whispered Kurama earning a glare from Hiei.
"So? Why should I care?" growled Hiei.
"Because you do."
"What'd you know!"
"A lot actually."
"Kitsune…"
"I'll be quiet."
"Hey what happen to Yuu and Ami?" asked Rei. Zoe sighed and explained what happen. "So that's why I have no electricity in me."
"Why were on the subject…Why'd you leave?" asked Ayame. There was along silence before the room started to shake.
"An earthquake?" asked Kuwabara.
"No worse!" yelled Rei. A boy with red spiky hair and red eyes started to attack Rei.
"Here's one reason why I left!" yelled Rei dodging the boy's attacks. "Katsuro go cool off!" She kicked him hard and he went flying through a wall into the outdoors pond.
"Great my dojo's getting destroyed again," came a voice from the doorway. It was an old man with fading golden hair and held a cane in his hand. His bushy eyebrows covered his eye and his bread touched the floor.
"Master Roshi!" said Rei.
"Who's the geezer?" asked Yusuke.
"This is my master, Master Roshi!"
"Okay."
"Speaking about old geezers…WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" yelled Rei pointing at a wall covered in shadow.
"I hope your not talking about me 'cause I am no geezer and I'm definitely not old," came a voice from the wall. Two glowing red eyes and a shadowy figure appeared. Guess who? Yup, it's Kyoto! Oh but don't tell the boy's, they don't know…yet.
"I am talking to you! Where were you when I needed you the most?"
"Hey, I saved your life! If I didn't come to bring you back to Meltokyo you would of died!"
"That's not the point!"
"Then what is!" A boy with long blue hair and dark blue eyes came in and sighed.
"Stop arguing," said the boy. "Soul combination!" A red light outlined Kyoto and Rei. The light pulled them together and then disappeared.
"HEY! Why'd you do that Kyo?" yelled Rei.
"Because you two wouldn't shut up," said Kyo. He then dropped a heavy bag on her. "Watch those tapes and separated them into a good and bad pile.
"Why me?"
"Because you are a leader and that's what leaders do."
"I never wanted to be a leader! It's all Master Roshi's fault!"
"Don't blame me…but Rei I do need to talk to you. You boys should head on home," said Roshi. They slowly nodded. "Ayame show them the way home."
"Sure," he said.
It's been a week since the indecent at Meltokyo. The gang seemed to mope around the house. Kurama occasionally set an extra plate, Hiei seemed to stay in his room more, Yusuke would barged into Rei's room like he use to only to find it empty, and Kuwabara would sigh every time he a random unlit dynamite on the floor. They figured Rei wanted to stay in her old home with all her friends. Who would blame her? They started to think they would never see her again. Sunday morning came when they went down stairs to have breakfast.
"Hi guy!" shouted Rei eat Raman on the couch. They all face faulted.
"What the hell are you doing here?" yelled Yusuke.
"I live here," she said.
"But…we thought…you've been gone for a week!" stuttered Kuwabara.
"My powers started acting funny again. Hatori had to do some tests. It seems not getting required shots for three months can really mess you up!" laughed Rei.
"So does that mean…you're staying here?" asked Yusuke.
"Yup! So Kurama what'd I miss in school?"
"Well all the girls asked where you were," he said.
"And what'd you say?"
"You died."
"What?" cried Rei. She sulked for a few seconds and intently perked up. "I guess I have to go to Yusuke and Kuwabara's school!"
"Yeah!" they shouted.
"Um…I was kidding…" They didn't hear him with all the commotion they were making.
"Kitsune, this is why you shouldn't joke. People tend to believe you," said Hiei.
"So you speak again. Funny, you start talking the same time Rei comes back."
"Merely coincidence."
"Sure."
"Kitsune."
"No I believe you…really I do."
"I don't believe you believe me."
"You should."
"I'm going to eat." Rei popped out in front of Hiei.
"Raman?" she asked putting chopstick in front of his face.
"What is with you and Raman?"
"It's good."
"Hn," said Hiei walking into the kitchen.
"It's good to have you back," said Kurama.
"Yeah…so did you really tell them I died?" Kurama sighed.
"No Rei, it was a joke. Just a joke."
"You shouldn't joke, people tend to believe you."
"That's the same thing Hiei said."
"Well that's scary," Rei said as she walked towards the kitchen.
"No that just proves even more that you and Hiei are made for each other," whispered Hiei.
