Ok I know knocked out a whole chapter in one day. Awesome. I have no life apparently. ANYWAY! enjoy my little chicklettes. A.T.


*Higarashi House*

" I'm Back."

Dylan went up to his room and sat his stuff down by his desk just as Mai came running into his room, taking a dive for his bed.

" So how was club?"

" Fun, and on the way home I met someone."

" Cool..."

Mai yawned and curled up in a ball, falling asleep.

' Geez sis, nice to see you're so interested in my meeting a cute girl.'


*Mai's Dream*

Mai was running down an ally way to a group of guys standing around smoking. She aimed for the taller red head.

" Chaz! Hide me!"

" Mai what did you get your self into this time?

Tai, a brunette hulk of a human male standing next to Chaz, gave Mai a look that said ' And why do you always come to us?'

" Seriously."

" No Time! Now hid me!"

" MAI!"

A huge mass with tan skin and short black hair stood at the end of the ally way glaring at Mai.

" SHIT!" Mai took off and jumped the wall.


Mai awoke gasping for breath. She looked towards Dylan's desk to see him asleep over some papers. Mai went over to him and gently lifted him

from the chair, and slowly took him over to his bed. She laid him down carefully and kissed his forehead.

" Sweet dreams little brother."

Mai quietly went to her room and sat in the window space enjoying the night breeze while reading 'The Purple Emperor' while singing 'Still Doll'.

(Dead seriousness, this is an awesome book and the 'Faerie War' which is the prequel to much goodness.)


*Morning*

Dylan woke up in his be.

' I could have sworn... Mai'

Dylan smiled and got ready.


*Kitchen*

" Hey Dylan, how was dueling yesterday?"

Sota was sitting next to Dylan while they ate breakfast which was awesome. Since Mai was up the rest of the night, she proceeded to make

waffles for everyone with a side of bacon.

" It was fun."

" Can you show me what you learned?"

" I suppose but I really didn't learn much yet."

" Ok cool. Thanks Dylan."

Kagome sat down next to Mai.

" So?"

" So what?"

" Did you meet any girls at dueling?"

" Not really, but I met two girls on the way home."

Mai and Kagome gave him a slightly shocked look while Dylan looked up from his bacon instantly.

(ALL THE BACON!)

" Alright Dylan! Were they cute?"

" Well... the younger sister was a little cutie. And the older sister was... really cute."

Mai blank stared him.

" And Dylan has LEFT the building ladies and gentlemen."

Mai shakes her head and snaps her fingers by Dylan's ear.

" Ok Romeo. Time to go."

(Sounds like it belongs in a Disney song or something ~think Jimmy Neutron~ don't it?

~Ok Romeo,

time to go.

So let's get it started,

it's time to flow!~

...Sorry.)

Dylan was in La La Land.

" And she goes to our school..."

" HeLLOO! Wake Up!"

Kagome ignored Mai, trying to stifle a laugh.

" Really? What's her name?"

" Mayu. She's also a priestess."

Mai looked at him carefully, taking in all the information she could on this girl.

" Really? A shrine priestess?"

" Yeah! A modern day shrine priestess."

" Wow... You must have it bad huh?"

" I just met her Kagome. I don't even know her last name."

" Well then ask her next time you see her."

" Eh... yeah..."


*After school*

Eri and the others were standing out front of the school.

" Hey Dylan, you going to hang with us today?"

" Sorry I can't. I have dueling club."

Mai started a bet with he three girls on if the girl Dylan had met the other day was in the dueling club.

" She isn't."

Dylan called over his shoulder as her left he girls for club.

Mai lost.

" Damn It Dyl! I lost my last 5. Now I'm broke till I hit up an ATM."

He ran into someone on his way to club and looked to see it was Mayu.

" Sorry. Hey, it's you, the guy from he other day! I didn't know you were in dueling."


*Higarashi House*

Mai walked home alone since she left earlier than Kagome. When she got there, she went up to her room and took a nap. Kagome was sitting in

the living room with Sota.

" Is Mai OK sis?"

" Hm? Yeah she's fine. Mai lost a bet over the girl Dylan met. I think her name was Mayu."

" Mayu... Wait! Her younger sister Mio is in my class. I've had a crush on her since day one."

" Oh! That's what he meant when he said the younger sister was a cutie. Lol."

" Yeah... real cute."

Sota went to La La Land like Dylan before him.


*Mai*

Mai woke up from her nap with a soft yawn.

'Meh. I'm so going back tomorrow. But I don't think I will be coming back.'

Mai took all her things and put them into her gorilla bag. Mai had the power to change the size of objects, but she would never let that slip out.

She shrunk all her things and put them into a pouch and left a few necessities normal sized. Kagome knocked on the door.

" Hey Mai, dinner is almost ready. Dylan called again saying he's going to be a bit late. He said he was talking with Mayu and he basically is going

on a first date with her. Oh I can't wait to hear about it!"

" Lol. Yeah same here. I'll be down soon."


*After Dinner*

" I'm back."

" Hey, welcome back. Tell us what happened between you and Mayu. Was it a date?"

" Well, originally it wasn't, we were just talking. She watched me at dueling club and we went to Wacdonalds after that. I walked her home and

met her family and that's it."

" Already met the family? Lol. You're moving quick bubby, but it's cute. I'm glad for you."

" Well, I'm working up to an actually relationship, but I'm taking it step by step. Besides, I don't know if she thought it was a date or not."

Dylan looked down blushing but was still smiling.

" Aw. You're blushing. Now all the girls at school will be jealous."

" Why do you say that sis?"

" Mai and I heard some girls talking about Dylan today. I was afraid she was ganna attack them with some of the

things that were saying."

( Think as many dirty thoughts as possible, then throw in some crazy stalkerness.)

" I was going to say something, but You choked me by pulling my on my hoodie."

" Wow Kagome. Usually that doesn't stop her."

" She bribed me with mint chocolaty-chip ice cream."

" I've had a lot of practice with Inuyasha. Although with Mai I can't stop her by saying 'sit'."

CRASH.

" Let me guess."

Dylan looked behind him.

" Oops..."

The door slid open quickly with an angry half demon standing on the other side.

" Ugh. I curse the day... you came up with that work Kagome."

Mai fell over, laughing so hard she was crying.

" What an obedient dog! AGH HA HA!"

Kagome held a hand over her mouth to keep the giggles from escaping.

" Stop it Mai."

" Poor Inuyasha. How did you do that Kagome?"

" Kaede. She calls the beads around his neck 'the beads of subtrigation'. That happens every time I say the trigger word."

" Oh so all you have to do is say sit?"

Mai looked at Inuyasha expectantly.

" Aw, so it only works when you say it?"

Kagome nodded the the very disappointed girl.

" Can I get a set of those beads?"

Inuyasha mumbled something about 'stupid' and Kagome gave the command.

CRASH.

Kagome ignored him and turned back to Mai.

" I don't think she has anymore. They belonged to her sister."

Dylan looked confused.

" Was her sister a priestess too?"

" Yeah. her sister was Kikyo."

" So wait, if originally the beads belonged to Kikyo, how is it that you can use the beads?"

Inuyasha sat up while glaring at the three sitting before him.

" She's her reincarnation."

" So you were a bad ass priestess in your past life! Awesome."

" Yeah I guess."

Kagome looked to Inuyasha who kept a sad gaze to the floor. Dylan followed her gaze.

" Inuyasha is something wrong?"

" No."

He abruptly stood and walked outside. Mai stood and followed him outside where he sat on the bench she did the last time they were alone. She

sat next to him and waited a moment before speaking.

" Thought you could use the company."

He only grunted in reply.

" You still have feelings for her even though you care for Kagome."

He looked at Mai next to him who was looking up at he few stars the were visible.

" Though one is supposed to share love with a special person, some people have more than one. Your feelings for Kikyo are a bit stronger, I can

tell. I can understand that."

" Yeah..."

" Well, I see nothing wrong with that in all honestly. I mean, you do care for Kagome right? So that counts for something in my book... You know...

right now, you just seem like a big sweety bear that needs love just like everyone else."

Mai kissed his cheek and stood , turning to face him while stepping in front of him.

" You're growing on me hound dog. Kind of like... an older brother."

Mai turned and began walking back to he door.

" Can never have to many brothers."

Mai said to herself, thinking of the boys she ran around with on the streets, not knowing that Inuyasha heard her.
