This trequel, my friends, is going to be demon and conflict free...to a degree. Nobody is going to be coming after us. Call it a...Christmas special, if you will. As these were written even before I finished the second story, I don't really know what to say here, so I'll just get to Chapter One, ne? Ja ne!
Disclaimer: Only the evil, diabolical plans are mine. Well...Vanessa did some, too.
Chapter One
"It's the beginning of Christmas Break!" The Destinies clap their hands as they walk down the crowded, snowy street: window shopping. As it is their first Christmas with the boys, they need to make sure that it is as special as it can possibly be. And knowing the Destinies (a/n: Which I most certainly do...) they can make things very interesting when they put their minds to it. And they are most definately putting their minds to this occasion.
A collection of old swords catches Olivia's eye as she walks by, "You think Hiei would like a new sword?"
"One made by a human? Doubt it," Meagan shrugs.
"I miss Yukina," Nissi moans. "She was so sweet."
"Yes, you and her share about the same innocence," Malia comments.
Vanessa shoves them out of the way as a cyclist comes whizzing by them, nearly splattering them all into the pavement. She sweat drops as they continue on with their conversations. They didn't even notice...The snow picks up, swirling around the street and blinding the people who happened to be walking on it; the Destinies included. Well, it was affecting everyone save Malia. After she figured out her relationship with Touya, everything snowy and icy appealed to her like nothing else...except Jin. But at the moment the fiery red-haired demon is in Makai taking care of some "personal business," leaving Malia to obsess over the snow.
Struggling as the snow picks up even more, the Destinies walk into the first store they see-which happens to be the biggest in the district. Looking around they see no one-no clerks, no attendants. Sighing, the Destinies search moments more in hopes of finding someone who can help them. There is none. Finally they hear a voice of an actual human being, but they most definately don't like what it is saying. The simple mumblings of, "lights out for the night," and being thrown in the darkness are not very happy when one realizes what they mean when they are put together.
They are trapped.
"What are we going to do?" Fumbling, the Destinies scramble over each other, panicked. Even as experienced as the Destinies are with darkness, they do not like this feeling of being thrown into the darkness. As they lose all sense of where they are, the only thing they can think of is "oh crap." Finally after what seem to be forever, Vanessa summons her fire ball to illuminate the room. It is dark and shadowy but as the Destinies move on and move on, a light switch comes into view. The Destinies run for it, flicking it up in a hurry. Immediately all the lights come on and the doors unlock. The sudden light blinds the Destinies like deer, causing them to only be able to stand in place for a while.
"Enough of this," Malia rubs her eyes impatiently. "What are we going to do?"
"Didn't you just ask that question?" Olivia implores.
"Yes, and no one gave me an answer."
"Well, I suppose the best thing would be to find a phone and call Shizuru or one of the boys to let them know we're safe."
"And ask for a ride."
"Or," Vanessa says hopefully, "it's not too cold and Meagan can teleport us there."
"Nope. Not possible."
Vanessa looks crest-fallen and Meagan looks agitated. She knew there would be a limit to her teleporting powers, and the previous incident with Touya had proven her right-her powers did not work in the cold. The Destinies look around with glum faces until Nissi smiles widely. Her friends stare at her with caution-they know this look.
"Well...while we're here, we might as well have some fun."
"Define 'fun,'" they demand.
Nissi points to a shop, "Anyone up for slushies?"
o.0 And with that the Destinies scatter, all heading towards the slushie shop. Laid out before them are-not only slushies-but a variety of different ice-creams. Chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, mint, caramel. The Destinies give a whoop of happiness, grab a cherry slushie, and retreat to other parts of the store. The manga store is currently claimed by Nissi and Meagan, the electronics by Vanessa, and the movies by Olivia and Malia. It is heaven. I repeat-heaven. But, alas, all good things must come to an end. And they do-just not right now.
Nissi wanders away from the manga and quietly she drifts to the candy. Picking up a packet and swearing that she will buy thousands of packets when they get out, she rips it open and prepares to eat it. If only the others had noticed sooner. Only does Meagan notice as Nissi comes back to the manga, an enormous grin plastered on her face. Her eyes are blurry and unfocused, and Meagan knows what this means.
"Nissi..."
"Mwahahahahahahahaha (sproing; bounce) YOU WILL NEVER CATCH ME! I AM QUEEN OF THE LOOPHOLES!" (a/n: She really is. You should see the stuff she does to her siblings.)
"HELP!" Meagan calls as she latches herself onto Nissi, trying hard not to let go. "We have an emergency! She's sugar high!"
Immediately the Destinies assemble in the manga collection, only to find a horrible sight. Meagan lays sprawled on the ground, a bump on her head, and a the manga store is in dissaray. Books are (not torn, thankfully) pulled from their shelves and tossed around the room. As Meagan comes to, they see Nissi's beaming face come upon the television.
"Hello my little pawns. Catch me if you can! Bwahahahahahaha!"
The screen goes blank. Shaking her head, Meagan sits up and stares at her friends. "We need to capture her before morning and get this place back in order."
"And how do you propose we do that?" Olivia pulls her up.
"I don't know. We've got the most brilliant minds of our class here-we can think of something."
"Right!" Vanessa grins.
"I suppose we should split into two groups: A and B. Vanessa and I shall be B and Meg: you and Malia can be A. For starters, A team can go and find a big white board and some markers while we clean this place up."
"Roger!" Malia winks, grabs Meagan's hand, and is gone.
Vanessa shoots Olivia a look that clearly says: you just had to give us cleaning, didn't you? Olivia shrugs and reaches for a Fruits Basket manga. Slowly (a/n: And I mean slowly. It took Vanessa hours to clean her room one time. Remember that, Inu-chan? Lol.) the manga store becomes normal looking. Just in time, too-Malia and Meagan come in with a large white board and some multicolored markers.
"We took the liberty of trying to draw up a plan. Hope you guys don't mind..."
"Not at all," Vanessa mumbles, sitting on her knees. "What did you come up with?"
"Just a basic blueprint of the store and an attack plan."
o.0 "All right then..."
Malia, clearing her throat and preparing for a long presentation as she had to do that one time in math class (a/n: That was real. Heh. I was her partner.), flips up the cover of the white board and pulls out three markers: red, black, and green. She explains that she and Meagan are the green, and that Olivia and Vanessa are red. Nissi is the target color black.
"We need to split up. Most likely she's sitting here," Malia circles three major control rooms, "with all of the controls. That's all on the second floor. SO what I think we should do is split up: one group take the third floor and one take this ground floor, then skate around in the shadows and take the rooms down one at a time. We can each get one room and take the last one together."
"Sure."
"Awright-we've done way too much searching on all the floors to be climbing anymore stairs, so you guys can get level three," Meagan insists.
"Cool."
So the two teams split up, beginning their search for the sugar-high Nissi.
"How close are we to our destination?" Vanessa whispers.
"I don't want to say...Nissi could be listening."
"Oh, right."
The two move slowly on the ground of the store, underneath all the clothes as to stay out of Nissi's sight.
Wherever Nissi Is
"I shall never let them catch me!"
Back With Olivia and Vanessa
"Ah! What happened?"'
"Nissi cut the lights! Shimatta...Don't conjour up a fire ball-it'll give away our position."
"I won't..."
Malia...Olivia concentrates hard. Malia, did Nissi cut the power with you guys, too?
Y-yes, and I ran into a pole because of it.
A...pole?
YES!
Ah! Okay, okay-carry on as planned.
Yup.
Vanessa waves her hand around, connecting with Olivia's forehead. "Ow!"
"Sorry," she whispers.
"Nevermind...let's just get going."
"Roger!"
With Meagan and Malia
"She cut the lights! I can't believe her!" Meagan shrieks, rubbing her sore head.
"Meagan-"
"Wait till I get my hands on her I'm gonna-"
"Meagan."
"And she's going to regret what she-"
"MEAGAN!"
Malia sends a swift punch to Meagan's stomach to shut her up, and it works perfectly. Malia imagines Meagan's face contorting in pain as she realizes that Malia has just punched her. Blinking furiously, Meagan takes a few gasping breaths and closes her eyes as a way to calm herself down. It works, and silently the pair continue on with their current mission: finding their way out of this horrible store.
They whack into every single thing that they cannot see until-by some wonderful miracle-they stumble out of the store. The lights are not completely out in the hallways-more dimmed. Keeping to the shadows they creep along the edge of the wall and to the escalator. One at a time, the two lay themselves flat against the escalator and remain still as it carries them upwards towards the second floor hallway.
"Do you think Olivia and Vanessa will have done the first room yet?"
"No."
"Really?"
"I think they were in one of the clothing stores."
"Ouch." Meagan winces.
"I know..."
The target room comes in sight, and the door is slightly ajar. She's been here. That's the thought that runs through Meagan's and Malia's heads as they shove the door open eagerly and pounce on the first human being they see. As it is still dark they do not notice that they had happened to pounce on one of their allies: Olivia. She glares at them and they scramble off of her hurriedly. Giving her lopsided grins the two shrug their shoulders in apology. Olivia only pushes past them and to the back wall where Vanessa is starting up a computer.
"Find her yet?"
"Not yet...oh, there we go."
Malia leans over Olivia's shoulder, "What's she doing?"
"Shh! She's hacked into the computer mainframe and is searching for Nissi in the store."
"But we already know where she is."
"We're checking for extra exits-windows, back doors, loose panels in the cieling or the walls."
"Nothing. We're good," Vanessa swivels in her chair. "Lets get her."
Punching the air Meagan leads the way out, crouching down once she hits the main hallway. Tey creep to the room in which they are certain Nissi is in...
...and bust down the door.
"AAAH!" Nissi screams and points.
The Destinies, with the wildest indian war cries, pile into the room and head towards their sugar high friend. In retaliation, Nissi runs through the walls.
"CRAP! We forgot she can faze!"
"Outside!"
"RUN FASTER!"
The four run out of the room, flicking the lights on as they go. And as they once again hit the hallway they see...Hiei. Yes, it is Hiei, crouching over a very frightened Nissi. But it's not quite the same Hiei. His usual one Jagan has multiplied to about twenty, his skin is green, and his hair is pointed differently. The Destinies freak, "AAH! SIT!"
Whump.
"Hn. Baka onnas," he mumbles, slipping back into his other form and standing up.
"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!" Nissi regains her form and jumps on Hiei.
"That," he says a he pries her off of him, "was my demon form. What? Did you think I stay in this form forever?"
The Destinies nod.
Nissi tugs his shirt, "Do I have a demon form?"
"Yes. And Olivia. I believe Koenma already discussed this with you."
"Oh yeah..." Olivia touches her forehead lightly. "I remember."
"Anyway, let's get you baka onnas home."
He grabs them and runs out. It has stopped snowing, though the Destinies can hardly tell at the speed they are going. The mansion looms into view and Hiei increases his speed even further, oblivious to Olivia's shouts of "don't whack the trees." Needless to say, she doesn't trust him that much. He stops at the door as Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara come out with worried looks on their faces. They relax as they see the Destinies with Hiei. The five dislodge themselves from him and run into their rooms, not wanting to explain what had happened just yet. The boys look after them. Kurama laughs,
"What a wonderful way to start Christmas break."
Indiana. Sweet, sweet Indiana. How I love being back in my home state, even though I was born in Virginia. Heh. But the rest of my family was born here so yuh...I get to see my cousins. I love my cousins. Nicholas especially. Ah, but being around him makes me feel soo stupid. T.T Oh well. Destinies, how are you doing! (waves; winks) I miss you! Awright, gonna work on the next chapter! Ja ne!
