Chapter 5~ Oh, Kami-sama. Please tell me the squirrels didn't attack again!
!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!
Disclaimer: If I were as lucky as people think I am, I would be richer than Donald Trump. The only characters that belong to me are Leala, Liam, and Nazomi... and a few others, but you know who they are! Larissa is based off of one of KK's characters...So, in a sense, we both own her...ONLY due to the fact that I'm making her story different...otherwise, she TOTALLY belongs to KK!
!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!
RECAP:
"Nazomi! Something's wrong!" Leala yelled running up to her.
"The barrier! Something... happened! It got all orange for a split second!" Liam became frightened.
"I'm sure it's nothing. Why don't you guys go get some veggies!" She spoke in a bubbly voice and turned, trying to head back inside, but Leala stopped her.
"Why is there another presence in the hut?"
"N-No reason!"
"You stuttered! Nazomi, what's going on?" Liam questioned.
Leala pushed passed her friend. Nazomi tried to stop her, but it was too late. Leala halted in the living room when she saw the tall, male form on the couch.
END RECAP:
"He can't stay here." Came a barely auditable, female voice. He didn't dare open his eyes.
"I wasn't planning on that! I just ment to scare him away..." Came another soft, female voice, only this one he recognized from somewhere.
"You know the type of danger we're going to get ourselves into if he figures out who we are!"
"I know you know I know." The familiar voice responded. Where had he heard this voice before?
It was quiet in the room. He felt a familiar presence lean close to him. Playing opossum [without the dead part], he decided he would try and find out who these people were and how he knew one.
"Shit!" The familiar voice spoke right into his face before quickly moving out of reach.
"What?" A male voice spoke for the first time.
"Bunny, get my suitcase!" There was movement in the room. Quick movement, too. He knew this was his only chance.
"Ouch!" He softly groaned. He moved his hand toward his head and slowly opened his brown eyes.
The room was small, but inviting. He was currently laying on the brown leather couch, next to the wooden coffee table. A black fuzzy chair sat to the right of the couch, and a green, lazyboy chair to the left. A nice, earthy, oval-weaved rug sat a few feet from the wooden fireplace, where pictures stood on the mantle.
The only thing out-of-place was the young girl with long, brown hair and green streaks. Her eyes stared at him as though she were a deer caught in headlights, of course, she probably was. She wore a midnight blue summer dress which cut off at the knees.
"Where am I?" He asked. He had seen her before... but where? Realization struck him as she started to stutter.
"K-Koenma? W-Why are you h-here?" Her soft but terrified voice sounded.
"Nazomi! I-" Could he tell her the real reason? Could he tell her he was here to take her back to Spirit World? Why is it whenever the thought of these words, something inside him felt angry?
"Tell me." Her voice seemed a little stronger than before, but still quiet and scared. No matter what, he was supposed to obey the command of his father while he was still in power...
"Spirit World Intelligence came across something. I knew it was you. Somehow, someway, I did. I came searching for you. My father believes that your two-year-old raincheck is overdue." He smirked, remembering the note. After picking it up, he went straight to his office and just smiled, staring at it. He never figured out why. Maybe it was her cleverness. Maybe it was just the joke. Maybe he was happy she did escape.
"Koenma, I can't go back! I have," She paused, thinking of the right word, then raised her voice. "Things to do."
"Nazomi, you committed the crime, you will do the time." But did he really believe that she committed the crime? Two figures walked into the room, a male and a female. The female was carrying what seemed to be a very large suitcase.
"Koenma, I didn't commit the crime! Don't you understand?" The two figures stopped when Nazomi had said 'Koenma'.
"What the hell?" The boy said.
"Leala, Liam. Meet Koenma. He's my Prince Charming that has come to sweep me off my feet!" Nazomi's voice dripped with sarcasm.
After a long, uncomfortable silence, a twig snapped outside the hut. Everyone was on alert within seconds.
Making some weird hand gestures, Nazomi signaled to Liam to guard the back door and told Leala to lock all the windows. She moved to the front door.
Peaking out of the door, Nazomi only saw the woods she had come to know and love.
"Son of a Hell-bent Inu youkai!" Came Liam's curse from inside the hut. Slamming the door shut and locking it, Nazomi ran to the back door.
Leala and Koenma were leaning over Liam's finger, which was dripping with blood.
"What happened?"
"I checked outside. As I was looking the other way... It BIT me!"
"It bit you?"
"It bit me! The freaking-god-forsaken squirrel bit me, dude!" Liam shouted. It took all of Koenma's control not to laugh his butt off, but a few chuckles escaped his mouth.
Nazomi's eyes grew wide, along with Leala's.
"What's wrong?" Liam's voice was filled with concern.
"We were right!" Nazomi spoke.
"About what?" Koenma questioned.
"The squirrels are..." Leala began.
"...Are?" The two boys questioned.
"TAKING OVER!" The girls shouted in unison. They jumped up and ran around the corner of the hallway, leaving the boys to just stare at their dust. Within seconds, the girls came back. Each struck a pose that was worth a kodak moment.
Leala had some sort of pot on her head, and was holding a frying pan in her left hand and a spatula in her right. Her suit of armor consisted of cookie sheets and other various cooking pans. Nazomi had similar attire on, but had a cookie sheet and a spatula, instead of a frying pan [Thank the lord...oh wait... Leala would do more damage with a frying pan...TAKE COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!].
"Oh, Kami-sama. Please tell me the squirrels didn't attack again..." Came an annoyed female voice from behind the girls.
Everyone turned (or moved forward) to face a "vertically challanged" Kitsune. She, also, had long, brown hair. She wore a sky-blue headband that blended well with her eyes and matched the tie she used to put her hair in a ponytail. Two stubborn bangs fell into her face. Large, purple angel wings stuck out of her back.[OoOoOo! KK's favorite color! (cowers) Don't hurt me!] She was clad in an orange tank top, black pants, and black and orange driving gloves.
"Larissa!" The two clad in cooking-ware-armor-plating, shrieked. This shriek caused Koenma, Liam, and Larissa to cover their ears. The two girls hugged their friend, showering her with questions.
"What happened?"
"Did you find out anything?"
"How did you get through the door I locked?"
"When did you get back?"
"What happened with the squirrels?"
"Did they bite you?"
"Did you kill 'em?"
"Kami-sama! For the last time there are NO evil squirrels on this premises[Sp???]! Nazomi, you of all people should know that! You created the friggin barrier!" Nazomi sweat dropped.
"Oh...yeah... I did, didn't I?" She laughed nervously.
"Although, I don't doubt that there aren't any evil squirrels plotting to take over outside of the barrier, I just don't think that the squirrels you allow into the barrier are that evil." Larissa commented.
"What barrier?" Koenma asked. Everyone turned to face the prince. Larissa's eyes grew wide in fear.
"The one I set up to keep strangers away from this place. For instance, Spirit World." Nazomi told him in a matter-of-fact voice. Koenma's lips made an 'o' shape.
"Who in the seven hells of Reikai is that?" Larissa pointed to the prince.
"That's Nazomi's Prince Charming!" Liam teased. Larissa looked at Leala and Nazomi for the truth.
"Koenma. King Enma's son." The female bunny told the kitsune.
"Oh...You guys really need to improve your security system. Bunny and I broke through that like it was pudding!" Everyone sweat dropped. Larissa started going through the details, but Leala hit her in the back of the head. "Ow!" Larissa retaliated, hitting the pot on top of Leala's head, virtually hurting herself... Thus began the war of the Bunny and Kitsune.
Nazomi moved Koenma and Liam to the living room. From the kitchen clanks and clatters continued to sound. She quickly got some bandages and started to dress Liam's wound.
"If it wasn't a squirrel, then what was it?" Koenma asked.
"I have no idea."
A cry from a cat came out as a big crash in the kitchen was heard. The cat was a blonde color with black markings. It also had green eyes and two tails. The cat quickly jumped onto Liam's lap.
"Would you guys stop fighting! You practically killed Michi!" Liam shouted toward the direction of the kitchen. The clanks and clatters stopped and two, barely auditable, "sorry"s were muttered, before an angry kitsune yelled.
"Hey! I'm not a guy!"
"Yeah! We're both women and deserve to be treated like 'em!" Leala's bubbly voice flowed into the living room.
Nazomi rolled her eyes, preparing for the rant that was about to be issued. She quickly excused herself and went to her room. Closing the door, she proceeded to remove the cooking-ware-armor-plating.
Once it was removed and under the bed, a knock sounded at the door. She moved from one side of her small bedroom to the other. It was cozy, a bed with a dresser and a closet, but it wasn't anything special.
Opening the door, she came face-to-torso [yes, it is possible] with Koenma. She mentally kicked herself for forgetting about him. Moving and allowing him into her room, she noticed his headband for the first time. She shut the door and moved toward the bed, sitting on it Indian-style. She looked at him as he stared at her.
"You have never been able to keep your eyes straight when I look at you."
"What?" Her eyebrows furrowed in question.
"When you look into my eyes... Your eyes move from one to the other." He said. A playful glint in his brown orbs.
"Whatever." She rolled her eyes. He took this time to scan the room. After a few moment's pause, she spoke. "...Alright, I'll make you a deal."
"And what might that be?" He inquired, raising his eyebrow.
"You let me find some information, and I will go to Spirit World for the rest of my Goddamned immortal life."
"A little harsh there, aren't you?" He chuckled at the look she gave him. One that said 'I-hate-you' but could also be taken as 'You-are-so-stupid'. "How long would this information take to get?"
"I don't know...A year...Possibly more?" She guessed.
"A YEAR?!" Koenma shrieked as high as his voice would ever let him go. "Possibly MORE?!"
"Jeesh! Calm down, drama prince [1]." She muttered.
"What kind of information do you need that could possibly take more than a year?" He asked.
"Information that may possibly take more than a year." Was her brilliant response.
"That helps..." His sarcastic tone couldn't be missed.
"It's not something that I wish to discuss..." She stated innocently. He half-stared, half-glared at her. After a quick moment's thought, he spoke.
"How about I will accept your offer. Only if you allow me to oversee whatever you are working on." Her eyes grew wide and her jaw dropped.
"No fair!" She squeaked.
"Life isn't fair."
"No shit, sherlock. Of all people, I should know that, and I do. I just wish things could go my way for once." She spoke, dying away. His face scrunched together.
"What do you mean?" He sat a comfortable distance away from her on the bed as Nazomi looked at her hands.
"Nothing in my life has gone my way. I was just a child, dreaming to be a ballerina, when my parents went into hiding. I grew up with Grams and followed her orders to the fullest detail. If she told me to go get the water, I dropped what I was doing and got the water. If I was to hide, I hid.
"I left and met Bunny and Larissa." She turned to look him in the eyes. "We did commit those crimes, but not the ones I was accused of."
"Well, then. Who murdered them?" He asked.
"That's one reason as to why I need to get that information. It's critical...in more ways than one." Muttering the last part of her sentence, she grabbed an earthy green pillow from her bed and hugged it.
"More ways than one?" He inquired.
"I have reason to believe the people who are setting me up have, or had, my parents." She spoke softly. They were silent. Her blue eyes and his brown orbs made a link as a tear started to fall. She cursed herself mentally, telling herself it was useless to cry over one thing for fourteen years. Before she could wipe away the falling tear, a strong hand had already cleaned it from her cheek.
She looked down, breaking the link they shared. Why did he always have to be kind to her? If anybody, he should currently be murdering her on the spot.
The hand that caressed her cheek moved under her chin, lifting her head to face him. The link was re-established. Slowly, but surely, his face came closer. Knowing what was going to happen and knowing it was not going to be something smart on her part, did not stop her from leaning in, also. Both sets of eyes flowed from the mouth and eyes of the other. Inches away, so very close. Nothing could stop this beautiful moment shared by these beautiful people. Nothing in a million years could stop what was going to happen...
...a knock sounded at the door.
Although, they never account for the fact that there are other people in the house...
'Shhhhh-ishiwakamaru!' Both Nazomi and Koenma cursed. [Yes, they said the same thing...and Shishi's supposed to be famous, so maybe Nazomi has heard of him or something...BTW: Did I spell it right? I'm too lazy to look it up...=^.^=]
"Nazomi?" Came a whimpered cry.
"Yeah?" Nazomi spoke, realizing Larissa's fake tone and trying to recover from what almost occured.
"Leala and Liam found the secret-hidden-stash-of-sweety-goodness!"
"But the secret-hidden-stash-of-sweety-goodness was supposed to be secretly hidden." Nazomi opened the door, allowing the panicking kitsune into her room.
"The secret-hidden-stash-of-sweety-goodness was secretly hidden, but the secretly hidden spot wasn't secretly hidden enough."
"Where was the secret-hidden-stash-of-sweety-goodness secretly hidden, anyway?" Koenma became amused at the conversation going on between the two girls standing in front of him.
"The secretly-hidden-stash-of-sweety-goodness was secretly hidden in that big-ass suitcase that no one uses, behind my big-ass dresser, in my big-ass closet."
"...Oh."
"By the way... How did they get the suitcase?" Larissa asked her tall friend.
"How should I know?" Nazomi questioned Larissa like it was the stupidest thing in the world to ask.
"You asked her," Larissa yelped and jumped back, placing a hand on her chest, as Koenma began to speak. "To get the suitcase after you figured out who I was." Nazomi mentally questioned his answer.
"How long has he been here?" Larissa snapped Nazomi out of her train of deep thought.
"A loooooong time. What? Did you think I got a giant Koenma plushie or something?" Koenma's eyes grew at Nazomi's statement. Although, she was only saying it to cover her lapse of time.
"You could have. How am I supposed to know? I've been gone." Larissa countered.
"For eight hours." Nazomi pointed out.
"You could have done who knows what during that time. If you know what I mean." Larissa raised her eyebrows a few times and nudged Nazomi with her elbow.
"Perverted people." Nazomi grabbed Larissa's shoulders and backed her up, so she was outside the doorway and Nazomi was inside. "I'll leave you to deal with Leala and Liam's sugar highs." She shut the door. Only to open it seconds later to a puppy-dog faced kitsune. "Alone." Shutting the door this time, she locked it.
Once she turned and saw Koenma standing in her room, did she realize what they were going to discuss. She moved to the bed and sat as far away as possible from Koenma. Taking a deep breath, she was about to speak, until Koenma cut her off.
"A plushie?" She sweat-dropped. Okay, maybe we'll talk about the plushie thing instead.
"Yeah. It's just a thing."
"Do I get to know this thing or not?"
"It depends...Will you tell me how you knew Bunny went to get my suitcase? After all, you were unconsious." She asked with a playful tone.
"I assumed." He spoke innocently. His eyes reflected her whimsical mood. He raised an eyebrow and leaned in closer. "So, are you going to tell me about the plushie?" She giggled and tapped her finger on her chin, making it look like she was thinking.
"Uhhh...no." She nailed his head with a pillow. He grabbed the soft weapon and hit her with it, before she retalliated with another pillow.
They ran around the room, hiting each other with the pillows. Soon, he was facing her while prowling forward. She moved back, only to accidently fall onto the bed. Well, Koenma wasn't expecting the fall either, and since he was practically in front of her...He fell, too. [I'm a naughty neko! =^.^=]
She giggled and he chuckled at their clumbsiness. Their eyes were locked in another link. One that they were unable to escape. On instinct, they both leaned forward. Both silently praying for no inturruption, their lips met in a soft, tender, long-awaited, kiss.
Fire rushed between them as the kiss became more passionate. His tounge more than asked, it begged for enterance. Her mouth was kind at letting him in to explore the depths of her mouth, which no other had been allowed admission. His left hand snaked its way under her as the right played with her long, brown and green hair. Her hands were both running their way through his own thick, brown locks.
Both were too busy to see the shadow move outside the window, let alone, sense it. Only when the shrieks of Leala and Larissa sounded, did they realize that danger was surrounding the little hut in the woods.
!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!
[1] Yeah, I know I totally ripped of Genkai, but it worked...I think I might use it a little later in the fic, also.
I'm sorry about making Koenma out of character, that was not my intention... ANYWAY! I look forward to reviews (hint hint wink wink kick kick exclamation point exclamation point). Please e-mail flames or send a personal message! Thank you and good night!
!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!
Chapter 5~ Oh, Kami-sama. Please tell me the squirrels didn't attack again!

RECAP:
"Nazomi! Something's wrong!" Leala yelled running up to her.
"The barrier! Something... happened! It got all orange for a split second!" Liam became frightened.
"I'm sure it's nothing. Why don't you guys go get some veggies!" She spoke in a bubbly voice and turned, trying to head back inside, but Leala stopped her.
"Why is there another presence in the hut?"
"N-No reason!"
"You stuttered! Nazomi, what's going on?" Liam questioned.
Leala pushed passed her friend. Nazomi tried to stop her, but it was too late. Leala halted in the living room when she saw the tall, male form on the couch.
END RECAP:

"Koenma, I didn't commit the crime! Don't you understand?" The two figures stopped when Nazomi had said 'Koenma'.
"What the hell?" The boy said.
"Leala, Liam. Meet Koenma. He's my Prince Charming that has come to sweep me off my feet!" Nazomi's voice dripped with sarcasm.

"Nothing in my life has gone my way. I was just a child, dreaming to be a ballerina, when my parents went into hiding. I grew up with Grams and followed her orders to the fullest detail. If she told me to go get the water, I dropped what I was doing and got the water. If I was to hide, I hid.
"I left and met Bunny and Larissa." She turned to look him in the eyes. "We did commit those crimes, but not the ones I was accused of."
"Well, then. Who murdered them?" He asked.
"That's one reason as to why I need to get that information. It's critical...in more ways than one." Muttering the last part of her sentence, she grabbed an earthy green pillow from her bed and hugged it.
"More ways than one?" He inquired.
"I have reason to believe the people who are setting me up have, or had, my parents." She spoke softly. They were silent. Her blue eyes and his brown orbs made a link as a tear started to fall. She cursed herself mentally, telling herself it was useless to cry over one thing for fourteen years. Before she could wipe away the falling tear, a strong hand had already cleaned it from her cheek.
She looked down, breaking the link they shared. Why did he always have to be kind to her? If anybody, he should currently be murdering her on the spot.
The hand that caressed her cheek moved under her chin, lifting her head to face him. The link was re-established. Slowly, but surely, his face came closer. Knowing what was going to happen and knowing it was not going to be something smart on her part, did not stop her from leaning in, also. Both sets of eyes flowed from the mouth and eyes of the other. Inches away, so very close. Nothing could stop this beautiful moment shared by these beautiful people. Nothing in a million years could stop what was going to happen...
...a knock sounded at the door.
Although, they never account for the fact that there are other people in the house...
'Shhhhh-ishiwakamaru!' Both Nazomi and Koenma cursed. [Yes, they said the same thing...and Shishi's supposed to be famous, so maybe Nazomi has heard of him or something...BTW: Did I spell it right? I'm too lazy to look it up...=^.^=]
"Nazomi?" Came a whimpered cry.
"Yeah?" Nazomi spoke, realizing Larissa's fake tone and trying to recover from what almost occured.
"Leala and Liam found the secret-hidden-stash-of-sweety-goodness!"
"But the secret-hidden-stash-of-sweety-goodness was supposed to be secretly hidden." Nazomi opened the door, allowing the panicking kitsune into her room.
"The secret-hidden-stash-of-sweety-goodness was secretly hidden, but the secretly hidden spot wasn't secretly hidden enough."
"Where was the secret-hidden-stash-of-sweety-goodness secretly hidden, anyway?" Koenma became amused at the conversation going on between the two girls standing in front of him.
"The secretly-hidden-stash-of-sweety-goodness was secretly hidden in that big-ass suitcase that no one uses, behind my big-ass dresser, in my big-ass closet."
"...Oh."
"By the way... How did they get the suitcase?" Larissa asked her tall friend.
"How should I know?" Nazomi questioned Larissa like it was the stupidest thing in the world to ask.
"You asked her," Larissa yelped and jumped back, placing a hand on her chest, as Koenma began to speak. "To get the suitcase after you figured out who I was." Nazomi mentally questioned his answer.
"How long has he been here?" Larissa snapped Nazomi out of her train of deep thought.
"A loooooong time. What? Did you think I got a giant Koenma plushie or something?" Koenma's eyes grew at Nazomi's statement. Although, she was only saying it to cover her lapse of time.
"You could have. How am I supposed to know? I've been gone." Larissa countered.
"For eight hours." Nazomi pointed out.
"You could have done who knows what during that time. If you know what I mean." Larissa raised her eyebrows a few times and nudged Nazomi with her elbow.
"Perverted people." Nazomi grabbed Larissa's shoulders and backed her up, so she was outside the doorway and Nazomi was inside. "I'll leave you to deal with Leala and Liam's sugar highs." She shut the door. Only to open it seconds later to a puppy-dog faced kitsune. "Alone." Shutting the door this time, she locked it.
Once she turned and saw Koenma standing in her room, did she realize what they were going to discuss. She moved to the bed and sat as far away as possible from Koenma. Taking a deep breath, she was about to speak, until Koenma cut her off.
"A plushie?" She sweat-dropped. Okay, maybe we'll talk about the plushie thing instead.
"Yeah. It's just a thing."
"Do I get to know this thing or not?"
"It depends...Will you tell me how you knew Bunny went to get my suitcase? After all, you were unconsious." She asked with a playful tone.
"I assumed." He spoke innocently. His eyes reflected her whimsical mood. He raised an eyebrow and leaned in closer. "So, are you going to tell me about the plushie?" She giggled and tapped her finger on her chin, making it look like she was thinking.
"Uhhh...no." She nailed his head with a pillow. He grabbed the soft weapon and hit her with it, before she retalliated with another pillow.
They ran around the room, hiting each other with the pillows. Soon, he was facing her while prowling forward. She moved back, only to accidently fall onto the bed. Well, Koenma wasn't expecting the fall either, and since he was practically in front of her...He fell, too. [I'm a naughty neko! =^.^=]
She giggled and he chuckled at their clumbsiness. Their eyes were locked in another link. One that they were unable to escape. On instinct, they both leaned forward. Both silently praying for no inturruption, their lips met in a soft, tender, long-awaited, kiss.
Fire rushed between them as the kiss became more passionate. His tounge more than asked, it begged for enterance. Her mouth was kind at letting him in to explore the depths of her mouth, which no other had been allowed admission. His left hand snaked its way under her as the right played with her long, brown and green hair. Her hands were both running their way through his own thick, brown locks.
Both were too busy to see the shadow move outside the window, let alone, sense it. Only when the shrieks of Leala and Larissa sounded, did they realize that danger was surrounding the little hut in the woods.
!@#$%^&*()*&^%$#@!
[1] Yeah, I know I totally ripped of Genkai, but it worked...I think I might use it a little later in the fic, also.
I'm sorry about making Koenma out of character, that was not my intention... ANYWAY! I look forward to reviews (hint hint wink wink kick kick exclamation point exclamation point). Please e-mail flames or send a personal message! Thank you and good night!
