Chapter 6- Injured (a week later):

Charlie:
"Will you stop laughing," I said as my eye twitched. I tossed a nearby paper wad at Dean- he dodged.
"He," he said as he laughed, "he has a crush on you!"

I growled,
"I know. Chika has a crush on me!"
I pouted and banged my head on the table. Sam sighed,
"As funny as this is, shouldn't we get back to looking for yellow-eyes?"

Dean coughed,
"Right."

I rolled my eyes and sat up- popping my back as I did so.
"So, when do we get moving?"
"We are going no-where," Sam said, "Dean and I are going hunting for it."
I scowled,
"I understand it's personal, but you need my help!"
"Like hell we do."

That's it. I stood up angrily,

"Okay that's it! What is your deal! You two have been goin' easy on me this whole time! What is your deal!"

The two of them looked at me a bit sheepish.

"….We can't let you go….you're pregnant," Dean said a bit slowly. I blinked.
"What?"

That was the last thing I expected. Both of them were blushing.

"Well," Sam said, coughing uncomfortably, "….we know you did it with Castiel…and we just-"
"You thought I was pregnant…Pregnant. Me?"

"You're not?"
I put a hand on my hip,
"Well, if I am no one told me."

Dean and Sam let out a sigh of relied. Dean clasped Sam's shoulder,
"Well, Sammy, I guess we aren't uncles just yet."
I shook my head and then looked at them a bit hopefully,
"So I can go on the hunt?"
"No."

I groaned.

There was a knock at the door. I didn't look up from what I was doing. I was fully concentrated on getting the spoon perfectly balanced on my nose- and I wouldn't cheat using peanut butter either. I would've tried and escaped right now but Dean and Sam had convinced our little host-family to post guards at my door.
"Come in!"

The door opened and in came Hunny and Mori. It was the weekend after all- so no host club.
"We're going to Haruhi's, Charlie-chan, do you wanna come with us?"

I shrug,
"Sure."
I went to use the restroom and then came back out. When I got back, Hunny wasn't there. Mori seemed a bit different than usual. He said that Hunny was waiting in the limo, but then he led me to a dark alley- and I played along. Mori turned to me with narrowed eyes,

"Now why would they leave you?"

I had this odd feeling in my gut- something here wasn't right. Mori doesn't talk like that.

"Christo."

His eyes turned back. Shit.
"Charlie-chan!"

Hunny came running to me,
"Takashi is acting weird!"
"That's not Mori," I said darkly as I pushed Hunny behind me.

I patted Mori on the back,

"You don't need to beat yourself, big guy."

He looked at me sadly and I shrugged,
"'Sides, I got ya back…sorry about that by the way."
He rubbed his arm- where there was a three-inch gash from my knife. I didn't mean to- sort of. In my defense, he had hurt me as well. I had a bruised side, a black eye, and a few small cuts. It wasn't that bad- really. It was a long fight until I managed to complete the exorcism. Hunny was scared, but I had him to thank. If not for his help, I would've been hurt a lot worse. Hunny wasn't hurt though, thankfully. Mori was sitting down in a chair- the plans for Haruhi's were canceled. Since Mori was sitting down, I didn't miss the opportunity to ruffle Mori's hair,
"Look, you weren't you. You were possessed. It's fine."
"How come you never get possessed Charlie-chan," Hunny asked cutely.

"I have the symbol tattooed on my chest, keeps me from getting possessed."

I shrugged.

My plan worked though. Through Hunny and Mori, who had taken me to the town, I was able to get out of that house. Now all I had to do was sneak away so I could find Sam and Dean to join in on the action. My phone vibrated and it was a text from Dean.

'Where the hell are you?'

My plans went out the window. They were done hunting and back at the house. I was dead.

'Out and about.'

Now, I had to avoid going back. Hunny was currently occupied looking at sweets through a bakery's shop window while Mori stood close by.

"M-M-Ma!"
I turned to see Ritsu.

"Hey."

Ritsu:

I was a bit shocked to see Charlie there.
"You're a girl," I asked a bit shocked. Tetsuya was standing behind me and he looked shocked as well. Charlie shrugged,

"Hell yeah, I'm a chic…but that doesn't really matter," she shrugged.

She didn't look like the small, flat male that I had become good friends with. She had curves, a bust. She had on black skinny jeans, a dark green tank top, combat boots, and a black leather jacket. The oddest part was that she had on sunglasses. I saw hints of bruises on her shoulders, but besides that almost all her skin was covered. She chuckled,
"Yeah, I bandage my chest for school…"
"Why," Tetsuya asked. I just stood there- still in shock and a bit embarrassed.

"It's easier, hell, I have a guy name! A bit hard to go through school…not that it mattered since I would kick their ass anyway."

The other guards that were behind me were red as well.

"Charlie's a chick," they whispered.

"I wonder what Bossnova is thinking."
"Hard to believe that guy we keep playin' kick the can with is really a chic."
I had a hard time believing it too. Either way, he…she…was still my friend. I vowed to keep it a secret. She deserved that. I wouldn't treat her any different. Before, she was like a brother. Now, she was like a sister.

"Charlie-chan! Takashi and I are going back home, okay?"

I turned to see the two hosts. Charlie smiled and ruffled the little eighteen-year-old's hair.

"'kay. See ya later then."

Takashi looked at us all with narrowed eyes. Charlie scoffed,
"Don't worry, big guy. I can handle myself."

Takashi nodded and then the two of them left. Charlie turned to us,
"Ya going to stand there and gawk all day?"

I shook my head.

"Would you like to join us," Tetsuya stepped up and asked. Charlie shrugged,
"Depends. Join ya doing what?"

I gulped,
"We were headed to the park for a game of kick the can."
Charlie smiled,

"Sounds good to me."

Third Person:

Ritsu kept his vow. He didn't treat Charlie any different than he did when he thought she was a guy. His guards, however, were a different story.

"You're a chick."

Charlie's eye twitched.
"Yes," she said annoyed, "for the hundredth time, yes! I am a chick!"

The guy looked her over and whistled,

"Not a bad lookin' one either."

Charlie growled as he slapped her butt. She caught his hand and twisted it around his back. He yelped in pain and she continued to growl,
"You keep your hands to yourself, or you won't have them anymore, got it?"
He nodded. She let him go, pushing him to the ground. All doubts of her not being able to protect herself went out of everyone's minds. She was clearly capable of handling someone- though they had small doubts. Tetsuya was the first to break the silence with a laugh,
"Well I guess you can take care of yourself!"
Charlie huffed,
"Damn right."

Ritsu smiled slightly as well. Soon, everyone was chuckling slightly to themselves- except for the one who got beat by Charlie of course.

"Hey!"

They all turned to see a very tall man that had slightly long hair. He was handsome though. Charlie gulped,

"Oh, hey Sammy!"

She smiled innocently. Sam sighed,
"You snuck out."
"Sort of."
"Dean's going to be mad."
Charlie laughed,
"Since when is he not- 'sides, his bitch face is always funny."
Sam sighed again and took notice of her company. He narrowed his eyes. Charlie rolled her eyes,
"Sam, chill…they're cool- for the most part," she glared at the guy that touched her. Sam nodded,

"Just…be back soon- the longer you're gone the more hell you'll get from Dean."
She gave him a two-finger salute,

"Dully noted."

Sam nodded and then left. The guys turned to Charlie. Tetsuya looked curious, but it was the others that kept asking her questions.
"Was that your father?"
"Or your boyfriend?"
Charlie scowled,
"Neither. Sam and Dean are my older brothers."
The guys shared a look- they looked nothing alike. But then again, it was the safest option. If it were her father- he would've tried to hurt them for hanging out with his 'precious daughter.' If it were her boyfriend, he would've tried to hurt them. However, as a brother, he just glared at them and didn't say much.

"So, does that mean you're single," one guy asked as he gave her a sly look. She huffed,
"Hell no. My boyfriend is back in America."
In an instant, most of the guys deflated- hopes of getting together with her shot down. Ritsu and Tetsuya both chuckled slightly.

After a few more rounds of kick the can, Charlie headed back. She ran into Chika and gave him an awkward 'hello.' Of course, he blushed and went on his way. She stood in front of the door, gulped, and opened it. Dean glared at her,
"Where the hell were you?"
"Out. Hunny and Mori invited me to come with them to the town, idgit, and then I was playing kick-the-can with a few guys."
Sam scoffed,
"The Mafia?"
Charlie shrugged,
"Most of them aren't that bad. Ritsu and Tetsuya ain't that's for sure. They're nice for the most part- 'sides they're friends."

Dean looked at her shocked,
"YOU'VE BEEN HANGING OUT WITH THE MAFIA!?"

Charlie raised an eyebrow,
"That's what I said."

Sam took a good look at her,

"And what happened to you?"

Dean took notice of her injuries as she took off the shades and jacket.

"Demon," she answered, "and no, not yellow-eyes…speaking of, did you find him?"
"Yes, he got away," Dean grumbled and took a drink of beer, "But we know where to find him later."
"And that's….?"
"At the school."

Well shit.
