Nargals Under My Bed


L.A.: So, I know, I've been gone for awhile. School is killing me.

L.A.: Not only that, but apparently the last time I updated Pencils and Paintbrushes turned a year old.

Amu: You are horrible.

L.A.: I guess I should do something special for it but right now I'm too tired.

"There are nargals under my bed," Sira announced the next morning when she entered the living room. Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara turned to her in confusion

"What?" Kuwabara said.

"There are nargals living under my bed," she said again as she lifted up a sock. "They are the reason why I can only find one sock."

"Or," Tori called from the kitchen. "It could be because you're messy."

Sira stuck her tongue out. "I am not messy."

"It looks like a tornado threw up on your side," Tori said as she entered the room. She avoided looking at Kurama.

Sira rolled her eyes. "Whatever, the fact remains that this interferes with my endeavors."

Haku came sneaking out of the bedroom. He paused mid-stride as he sniffed the air. With a howl, he charged into the kitchen. There was the sound of kitchen ware clattering before Akira came running out of the kitchen. Haku was right on his heels snarling and howling.

Tori quickly scooped Akira up as she glared at Haku. "Haku, quit that. Akira is a friend."

"See," Sira said as she pointed at Akira accusingly. "Haku doesn't like him either."

"That's probably because you don't like him."

Sira shrugged. "Whatever," She dropped her sock as she skipped to the kitchen. "I'm getting ice cream."

"It's still morning," Yusuke pointed out.

Sira nodded. "Exactly."

Yusuke rolled his eyes. "That didn't even make sense!"

Sira ignored him as she reached into the freezer and grabbed the pint of chocolate ice cream. With spoon in hand, she lazily walked outside with Haku trailing after her.

She frowned as she noticed someone standing in the front yard.

There was a little boy with black hair and a star next to his eye. He was casually fiddling with a yoyo.

She glanced to her right and saw Hiei walking up. "There's a little man in our front yard," She said as she pointed to the boy in front of her.

The boy glared. "I am not little."

"He's even shorter than you," she said the Hiei.

"Hn," Hiei said as he crossed his arms.

"Excuse her," Tori said as she appeared beside her. "Apparently she never learned to pick up on social cues."

"What?" Sira said, her mouth full of ice cream.

"Hey Rinku," Yusuke said as he walked out. "What are you doing here?"

"Koenma sent me," Rinku said as he held up an envelope. "He wanted me to give this to you guys."

"Oh," Kuwabara said with a grin, "So now your Koenma's errand boys?"

"No," Rinku glared at him as he sent a yo yo hurling at them. "I'm doing this because I owed him one."

"Since when did my home become a meeting ground for you idiots," Genkai said.

Sira and Tori jumped at the sight of her.

"I forgot she lived here," Sira whispered.

Genkai shot her a glare. "I heard that."

"Um, I'm going inside," Sira said as she grabbed Tori's hand and dragged her. "Come with me Tori."

Slowly, they all filed in after them until Kurama and Akira were left outside. The little fox was staring at Kurama with owlish eyes.

It was a little unnerving. Although he had not voiced his opinions, he too did not trust the strange fox. "Who are you?" He said, not really expecting an answer.

He was surprised when he saw Akira grin.

"I am me," Akira whispered. "I was born from misery. Where you were I am instead. Making you wish that you were dead."

"What?"

Akira just laughed as he ran into the temple.

"What's your problem, fox?" a voice said behind Kurama.

He looked to see Hiei staring at him.

"Did you hear it?"

"The little fox?" Hiei shook his head. "Why is he important?"

"I must of imagined it. " He sighed. "I don't trust him," Kurama said as he leaned against the temple. "His energy seems off."

"Hn," Hiei said. "I would be more worried about your current situation."

Kurama raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"The girl, Tori," Hiei said. "You've grown too attached to her."

"I have not forgotten our mission," Kurama said. "I just want to make sure she is safe."

"Make sure it stays that way," Hiei said as he turned to leave. "You should remember that they will go back to their world eventually."

"Then you should be careful as well," Kurama said. "After all, Haku seems really fond of her."

"Hn," Hiei said before he flitted away.


As Rinku chatted away with the rest of the Yu Yu gang, Sira used the opportunity to escape and have one of her walks. She had found that having these short walks was a great way to sort through stories ideas and her own thoughts. It was like taking a shower without getting wet.

As she was about to round the corner, she heard someone talking.

"I have found them, my liege… No, they do not know yet, I'm being a tease."

There was a pause before the voice continued. "I will keep an eye on them but we don't have much time. If we don't hurry soon the world's stake will be on the line."

She rounded the corner but all she saw was Akira.

He looked at her owlishly from his perch on a rock.

"What are you doing here by yourself?" she asked.

"Nuuuulaaaaak" He yawned as he hopped down and trotted past her.

"What a weird fox," Sira said as she looked around. "I wonder who spoke earlier though."


L.A.: So, it's probably going to get weirder after this before it gets clearer.

Amu: You've been watching way too many Lost episodes.

L.A.: Anyway, the poll results. 35% said Amu is a muse. 28% said she was my best friend. 21% said she was a co-author. 7% said she was a character from a previous story and 7% said she was ruler of the world.

Amu: Who ever said I was the ruler of the world is now on my totally awesome people list.

L.A.: Anyway, the correct answer is that she is a muse, so now you know.

Amu: And in honor of this/she just made it up when she was sick. Simple Musings is up. If you're bored and want to be entertained read it.

L.A.: Anyway, tell me what you think!
