It was storming.The thunder and lightning was getting worse.Vanessa walked into the house alone.There was 9 people standing around in the room."Good evening everyone welcome to Deathside Manner,you all know the rules,you must stay here for the night and you will recaeive 100 thousand dollars each.The ones who leave before the time is up won't get there money,there money will be devided amongst the rest who remain."Mr.Kamiya said."This place is creepy"Sara said."If your talking like that you should leave."Nanci said.Vanessa sat down on the couch."hmmm....maybe i will."Sara said getting up.She then ran to the front door and ran out."That was fast."Nanci said.Vanessa stared intently at the floor."Hey lighten up!"Nanci said to Vanessa."Huh?!me......ok.My names Vanessa what's yours?"Vanessa said."I'm Nanci"she said. Quatre,Trowa,and Duo walked over to them."Hey i'm Duo,this is Trowa and Quatre."Duo said."Yes nice to meet you i'm Nanci and this is Vanessa."Nanci said."Vanessa look out!"Quatre screamed.He grabbed her off the couch.A big chandellear fell down right where Vanessa was sitting."Are you ok?"Quatre asked."Umm.... I think so."Vanessa said.She was hugging Quatre tightly."Ummm then you can let go"Quatre said."Sorry" Vanessa said,she let go."You frighten easily don't you"Duo said smiling at her."Hmmmm....I knew I shouldn't have come here tonight."Vanessa said."You'll be fine if you had enough guts to come here in the first place you'll be ok."Quatre said.She looked at Quatre sadly."I only want the money for my sick friend who's in the hospital.She needs the money for an operation.........."Vanessa said."That's a really good reason to be here.You must really care about your friend if your risking your life for her."Quatre said."Well she's the only friend i've ever had......"Vanessa said.Trowa crept up behind Vanessa and put his hand on her back.
"Ah........!"Vanessa screamed.Trowa started laughing at her."You'll never make it"Trowa said."Your probably right."Vanessa sighed."Trowa that's mean leave her alone!"Quatre said."No I can do what I want.Plus if we get rid of her more money for us."Trowa said.Quatre shook his head."Vanessa i'll help you get through the night."Quatre said."Thanks Quatre but I think I should do this on my own."Vanessa said."No I want to help you,I think you deserve this money more than anyone else."Quatre said.Vanessa hugged him."That's really sweet Quatre."Vanessa said."Don't worry Vanessa i'll protect you"Quatre said. "Looks like Quatre's got a girlfriend."Trowa said."So what if I do like her as a girlfriend!"Quatre said. "Nothing......"Trowa said."So you like me as a girlfriend."Vanessa said smiling at him."Yes if you will be my girlfriend."Quatre said.Vanessa kissed him."Of course I will."Vanessa said.Meaghan,Heero,Julie,and Wufei walked over to them."Hi I'm Meaghan and this is Heero,Julie,and Wufei."Meaghan said."Hi I'm Duo and this is Trowa,Quatre,Vanessa,and Nanci."Duo said."So Vanessa how was the experience with the chandellear?" Wufei asked."Leave her alone Wufei!"Quatre said.He put his arm around Vanessa."Vanessa I hope you do make the night."Nanci said."Thanks"Vanessa said."Hey kids i'll be leaving you now."Mr.Kamiya said.He walks away.
Nanci walked over towards the middle of the room.Trowa heard a creak and looked at the skylights which were about to cave."Nanci......"Trowa yelled.He pulled her back just in time.All the glass shattered in front of them.Nanci started to shake."T.....t......tt...rowa"Nanci stammered out."Nanci it's ok." Trowa said hugging her close to him.She started crying."Don't cry i'll protect you."Trowa said smiling at her."I'm so scared......I knew I couldn't do this."Nanci said."Well I'm not going to let anything happen to you."Trowa said.They walked back to the group.Wufei statred laughing at everyone."Your all so paranoid this is only a house.It's just falling apart."Wufei said."You don't get it do you Wufei this is a haunted house we came here knowing that you come at your own risk.We all may die here."Meaghan said.Wufei grabbed her arm."Don't try to make me sound stupid woman."Wufei said.He pulled her over towards a book case. "Stand here for a minute and see if it falls on you."Wufei said.Duo ran over to them."Let her go Wufei"Duo yelled.The book case started to creak.Duo grabbed Meaghan.But Wufei just stood there.So he got hit by the bookshelf.Duo and Meaghan took the bookshelf off of Wufei.He was unconcious but still breathing. "Meaghan are you ok?"Duo asked."Yes Duo thanks for saving me."Meaghan said.Duo kissed her forehead. "Anytime"Duo said.Meaghan smiled at him.
"I really want to get out of here."Nanci said."Well let's go then my love"Trowa said. "ok let's go Trowa."Nanci said.Then Trowa and Nanci walk out of the house and go back to the car.Then a red substance started pouring down the walls.Vanessa looked at it."Quatre....I'm so scared"Vanessa said. Quatre smiled at her."Don't worry my love I won't let anything hurt you"Quatre said."Look Vanessa now that Trowa and Nanci are gone and Sara left there is only 7 of us left and no one died so that's good"Quatre said.Vanessa held onto Quatre's hand tightly."Don't leave me please."Vanessa pleaded."I won't i'd never leave you now."Quatre said."I love you Quatre."Vanessa said."I love you too and if anything happens to you i'll never forgive myself."Quatre said."Hey you two better watch yourselves."Heero said.Wufei started to awake.He got up and walked towards a statue holding a scythe.

Part 2 (Ready for Yesterday)
It fell right on top of Wufei.The scythe went right through Wufei.He died."Oh my god."Vanessa screamed. Quatre hugged her."Vanessa I think it would be smart if we left now while we still have a chance."Quatre said kissing her."Yes let's go."Vanessa said.They went to go towards the door and all the exits got locked. There was no escape now."No! This can't happen......."Quatre yelled."Now we've all sealed our fates."Julie said.Vanessa fell to the floor crying."Why.........I finally find love.....and now i'm going to die.I know I wanted the money but at what cost....."Vanessa said."Vanessa calm down i'm going to get you out of here."Quatre said.He picked her up off the floor.Vanessa cried in his arms.Duo and Meaghan walked over to them."Well I'm going to help you two get out of here"Meaghan said."Ya Julie and Heero are you two coming too"Duo said."I feel so chlostrophobic."Vanessa said."Calm down Vanessa I promise you i'll get you out of here" Quatre said."Yep i'm not staying here"Julie said."Since Julie is going i'm coming to protect her"Heero said."Thanks Heero."Julie said.Then they all headed towards the staircase.Vanessa held onto Quatre tightly.Vanessa and Quatre went first then Meaghan and Duo then Julie and Heero.As Julie was on the last step it started to crack.Heero grabbed Julie."Don't worry Julie I told ya I would protect you"Heero said."I'm feeling kind of lightheaded"Vanessa said."Do you want us to stop?"Quatre asked."You guys go on without me i'll stay here.I'm only slowing you down."Vanessa said."No i'm not leaving you here to die."Quatre said"Quatre if we stay in one spot we will die."Vanessa said."No i'm not going anywhere."Quatre said. Vanessa fainted in Quatre's arms."Go on without us she was right you 4 must get out of here."Quatre said. He kissed Vanessa's forehead."No Quatre i'm not leaving you and your girlfriend to die.Your my best friend."Duo said."Were staying to."Julie said."Yep"Heero said.Mr.Kamiya walked up to them with a knife. "Mr.Kamiya what's wrong?"Julie asked.Then he went to stab Julie but Heero got in front of her and got stabbed instead."No one leaves here!"Mr.Kamiya yelled.Vanessa started to awake."Quatre.......you stayed with me......."Vanessa said smiling at him."Of course I said I will never leave you,but right now we have to really get out of here."Quatre said.Vanessa got up."I still feel weak."Vanessa said.She fell backwards and knocked Mr.Kamiya over the railing.He fell to his death.Heero was bleeding really badly.Julie tried to stop the bleeding but she couldn't.Heero smiled at her.He put his hand up to her face."I may die but at least I got to meet you"Heero said.Then he died."Heero........I love you."Julie cried out.She got up and ran from the room.Vanessa ran after her."Vanessa come back!"Quatre yelled.He tried to run after her but Duo stopped him."We'll go together."Duo said.Meaghan looked at her watch."Hey it's 2:30"Meaghan said."Come on we have to get Vanessa back"Quatre cried.
"Julie stop!"Vanessa yelled.But she lost Julie.Vanessa fell to her knees and started crying uncontrolably."Your so weak I knew you could never make it!"A voice yelled."Wufei.....but your dead..."Vanessa said.She got up and ran."Why am I always the one to hear voices in my head."Vanessa said.Vanessa saw blood all over the floor.She kept walking then she saw the bloody corpse of Julie on the floor."Julie.........this is all my fault......if only I didn't faint,Heero would be still alive and you would still be with him now.This is all my fault."Vanessa said.She got up and wandered further down the halls.She found a door so she decided to go in.It was the control room.She saw that the button for the opening of all locks was there so she pressed it.All the locks were opened.Vanessa walked back out of the room."Vanessa there you are my love."Quatre said."Quatre........where are you?"Vanessa asked."I'm in this room over here come on."Quatre said.Vanessa saw the shadowy figure of a guy up ahead of her."Quatre don't run from me" Vanessa said."I've found a way out my sweet"Quatre said.Vanessa kept running,following him into a room. Quatre got up on the ladder and climbed onto the platform."Quatre what are you doing?Get down from there your scaring me."Vanessa said.He jumped off the platform and fell into this pool of red liquid.Vanessa ran over to the pool."Quatre this isn't funny where are you?"Vanessa cried.She looked into the crimson pool of blood.An arm reached out and pulled her arm."Quatre let go don't scare me like this."Vanessa cried out.The hand kept tugging at her arm.Tears streamed down her face.Quatre ran in the room with Duo and Meaghan.
Quatre ran over to Vanessa and pulled her away from the pool."Vanessa why were you in here?"Quatre asked."I followed you in here,you were telling me you found a way out then you jumped off that platform and fell into that pool."Vanessa said as she cried into his shirt.Quatre hugged her tightly."No my love I would never try to hurt you."Quatre said.Vanessa wouldn't let go of Quatre."I'm so scared" Vanessa said."Vanessa come on all the locks are open now."Quatre said."I know I opened them"Vanessa said.Quatre picked her up into his arms and ran down the hall with her.Duo and Meaghan followed.They went back downstairs and Meaghan saw the time."Hey we made it"Meaghan said.She saw the ten checques on the floor so she picked them up.They ran outside.Then the whole manner collapsed.
It fell right on top of Wufei.The scythe went right through Wufei.He died."Oh my god."Vanessa screamed. Quatre hugged her."Vanessa I think it would be smart if we left now while we still have a chance."Quatre said kissing her."Yes let's go."Vanessa said.They went to go towards the door and all the exits got locked.

Final Part (i know its short but hoo cares)
Meaghan handed 5 of the checques to Quatre and Vanessa.Vanessa was still pretty shaken so,Quatre carried her out to the car while Duo and Meaghan followed behind them.When they came out Trowa and Nanci were in Quatre's car waiting for them."Vanessa i'm proud of you!You made the night."Trowa said smiling at her.He noticed the fear in her eyes."Quatre don't jump please....."She said."Vanessa snap out it" Quatre said.Vanessa looked at him."I'm sorry I guess I wasn't fast enough."Vanessa cried."Vanessa come back to me."Quatre cried."Huh? What's going on"Vanessa said as she looked around."Quatre........Duo, Meaghan your still alive"Vanessa said."Where's Julie at Vanessa?"Meaghan asked."She died.......it's all my fault.I'm weak Wufei was right,he told me I was weak just before Quatre led me down to that room."Vanessa said shaking."Vanessa I love you.The spirits must have tricked you into going down there."Quatre said. Vanessa looked at the blood on her arms."Can we go home Quatre?"Vanessa asked."Yes let's go Trowa" Quatre said."ok"Trowa said.Quatre wrapped his arms around Vanessa."We'll be home soon,I will always be with you."Quatre said."I'm so scared Quatre.."Vanessa said.Quatre kissed her forehead."I'll be with you forever Vanessa"Quatre said smiling at her.Vanessa snuggled up into Quatre's arms and fell asleep.
A couple weeks later,Vanessa and Quatre had married.Vanessa soon got over what happened to her.Vanessa gave her friend the money for the operation.Meaghan and Duo got married a week after Quatre's and Vanessa's wedding.The friends stayed close,but in each of there hearts they would never forget the lives lost that night.

Demonic Fever Part 1!!
“Brrr!! It’s so clod out there!! I have NEVER seen anything like it!†Serena exclaimed as she and the others were inside of Kaede’s hut. She was shivering inside of a large blanket, in which she was huddling into with Shippo in her arms.
“Y-yeah...†Shippo said with his teeth clattering in his mouth. “I-I have been through with this kind of winter once in my time! When mom and pop were alive! And it was so warm inside the cave...â€
“Well... I think in my time there’s lot warmer inside of my house but since it’s snowing so badly now outside the hut... I doubt we will get through it... without getting cold first.â€
“You’re right, Serena. No one is crazy enough to go into THAT kind of blizzard!†Miroku sneezed by the fire pit, holding his blanket closely.
{ACA}morrigan sat next to Miroku with her demonic pet, H_P_M lying next to her, trying to warm her owner with her body heat. “I agree. Even H_P_M wouldn’t go out in a weather like this!†She pets her demon pet onto head.
“Hmm... yeah.†Serena nods to agree. “Hey, where’s Trunks?†She asked startled from everyone as she noticed that the dog-demon wasn’t with them at all.
“Dunno, Serena. I haven’t seen him since yesterday,†Shippo answered, shivering from his bones.
“Neither do I,†said Miroku as he sneezed once more.
“{ACA}morrigan?†Serena turned to look at her friend, hoping that she have seen Trunks. But the youkai-hunter shook her head.
Her last hope was the old priestess but: “I haven’t seen him either, Serena.â€
“You-you don’t mean that he’s still out THERE?!†Serena pointed at outside where there was snowing crazily. “We have to find him!! He could die out there in the cold!!!†She stood up quickly, with Shippo falling from her arms onto the wooden floor, making him yelp in surprise and then he ran at {ACA}morrigan, diving into her warm blanket.
“Serena! Calm down! You shouldn’t go out there!†Miroku said worried, fearing that she could get a cold as she looked for the dog-demon.
“I have to go, Miroku! I can’t leave Trunks out the in the cold! I have to find him and bring him back into warmth!†She said, putting her thick, long and warm jacket on and stepped out side.
“I better go after her,†{ACA} morrigan said standing up from her place, leaving Shippo in her blanket and taking a warm cloth with her.
“I should come with you...†just then Miroku sneezed, feeling pretty much sick at the moment. “You don’t go anywhere, houshi-sama. You have got a cold already.†Kaede said determined to him. “Aw, rats!†The houshi muttered.
^^^
Damn, it’s so cold here! A certain half-youkai thought as he walked through the blizzard, his feet gone cold and blue as ice itself! And his red kimono was wet and damp from the snowing.
Trunks breathes carefully as he walks through the snow and the blizzard but he couldn’t see a thing. He even couldn’t see his own nose at all. I have to find shelter! I have to find that obabaa’s hut!
By that chance, he walked on something that gave him a bad feeling.
Krik!
what?! Trunks took another step...
Krak!
Uh-oh... I’m walking on a thin ice!! Got to be more careful now. Now he was walking with cautious, trying to void the weak spots on an ice.
CRASH!!!! PLOSH!!!!
Too late.
Trunks just managed to walk to the weakest spot on ice and falling through the hole into ice-cold water. The half-youkai struggles to go up to the surface but finds only ice blocking him to come out of the water. He hits at the ice surface and broke through the ice and drags himself out of the water, gasping for air. Feeling even colder than before.
Damn!!! Now I’m freezing here!! I got to--I got to get to the shelter and fast!
He continues on struggling through the blizzard when he finally felt so cold that made him fall into the snow, his lips shivering and showing deathly blue. No! I... mustn’t fall in sleep! I won’t die because of some f@(?ing blizzard!! I must survive... for Shikon or Talon and for... Serena...
The dog-demon tried to stand up once again but he only fell back into the snow and was about to lose his conscious. Before he lost his conscious... he heard someone calling out for his name. He looked up and saw two dark figures coming at him. Trunks got a sniff from the air and he recognises two scents that were hanging on the air. It was Serena and {ACA} morrigan’s scents!
“S-Serena...†he said as he lost his consciousness.
^^^
“Serena! Look over there!†{ACA} morrigan points out the strange red mount in the snow.
âOH MY GOD!! IT’S TRUNKS!!! Quickly, {ACA} morrigan !! We have to get him into shelter!!†Both girls rush shiftily at the still dog-demon and lift him out of the snow.
“He’s so cold and damp! {ACA} morrigan!!â€
“Brrr!! It’s so clod out there!! I have NEVER seen anything like it!†Serena exclaimed as she and the others were inside of Kaede’s hut. She was shivering inside of a large blanket, in which she was huddling into with Shippo in her arms.

“Well... I think in my time there’s lot warmer inside of my house but since it’s snowing so badly now outside the hut... I doubt we will get through it... without getting cold first.â€
“You’re right, Serena. No one is crazy enough to go into THAT kind of blizzard!†Miroku sneezed by the fire pit, holding his blanket closely.
{ACA}morrigan sat next to Miroku with her demonic pet, H_P_M lying next to her, trying to warm her owner with her body heat. “I agree. Even H_P_M wouldn’t go out in a weather like this!†She pets her demon pet onto head.
“Hmm... yeah.†Serena nods to agree. “Hey, where’s Trunks?†She asked startled from everyone as she noticed that the dog-demon wasn’t with them at all.
“Dunno, Serena. I haven’t seen him since yesterday,†Shippo answered, shivering from his bones.
“Neither do I,†said Miroku as he sneezed once more.
“{ACA}morrigan?†Serena turned to look at her friend, hoping that she have seen Trunks. But the youkai-hunter shook her head.
Her last hope was the old priestess but: “I haven’t seen him either, Serena.â€
“You-you don’t mean that he’s still out THERE?!†Serena pointed at outside where there was snowing crazily. “We have to find him!! He could die out there in the cold!!!†She stood up quickly, with Shippo falling from her arms onto the wooden floor, making him yelp in surprise and then he ran at {ACA}morrigan, diving into her warm blanket.
“Serena! Calm down! You shouldn’t go out there!†Miroku said worried, fearing that she could get a cold as she looked for the dog-demon.
“I have to go, Miroku! I can’t leave Trunks out the in the cold! I have to find him and bring him back into warmth!†She said, putting her thick, long and warm jacket on and stepped out side.
“I better go after her,†{ACA} morrigan said standing up from her place, leaving Shippo in her blanket and taking a warm cloth with her.
“I should come with you...†just then Miroku sneezed, feeling pretty much sick at the moment. “You don’t go anywhere, houshi-sama. You have got a cold already.†Kaede said determined to him. “Aw, rats!†The houshi muttered.
^^^
Damn, it’s so cold here! A certain half-youkai thought as he walked through the blizzard, his feet gone cold and blue as ice itself! And his red kimono was wet and damp from the snowing.
Trunks breathes carefully as he walks through the snow and the blizzard but he couldn’t see a thing. He even couldn’t see his own nose at all. I have to find shelter! I have to find that obabaa’s hut!
By that chance, he walked on something that gave him a bad feeling.
Krik!
what?! Trunks took another step...
Krak!
Uh-oh... I’m walking on a thin ice!! Got to be more careful now. Now he was walking with cautious, trying to void the weak spots on an ice.
CRASH!!!! PLOSH!!!!
Too late.
Trunks just managed to walk to the weakest spot on ice and falling through the hole into ice-cold water. The half-youkai struggles to go up to the surface but finds only ice blocking him to come out of the water. He hits at the ice surface and broke through the ice and drags himself out of the water, gasping for air. Feeling even colder than before.
Damn!!! Now I’m freezing here!! I got to--I got to get to the shelter and fast!
He continues on struggling through the blizzard when he finally felt so cold that made him fall into the snow, his lips shivering and showing deathly blue. No! I... mustn’t fall in sleep! I won’t die because of some f@(?ing blizzard!! I must survive... for Shikon or Talon and for... Serena...
The dog-demon tried to stand up once again but he only fell back into the snow and was about to lose his conscious. Before he lost his conscious... he heard someone calling out for his name. He looked up and saw two dark figures coming at him. Trunks got a sniff from the air and he recognises two scents that were hanging on the air. It was Serena and {ACA} morrigan’s scents!
“S-Serena...†he said as he lost his consciousness.
^^^
“Serena! Look over there!†{ACA} morrigan points out the strange red mount in the snow.
âOH MY GOD!! IT’S TRUNKS!!! Quickly, {ACA} morrigan !! We have to get him into shelter!!†Both girls rush shiftily at the still dog-demon and lift him out of the snow.
“He’s so cold and damp! {ACA} morrigan!!â€
Part 2: The Evil Within
It’s been two days since Trunks got sick and he hasn’t still woke up. The blizzard was gone, and now it was snowing normally and not as dangerously. Serena sighs as she sat next to sleeping dog-demon. This is the first time when she sees him so calm and relaxed as he slept. Well… she hasn’t seen him slept before…expect when he was a human and hurt after the spider-heads’ attack. But never she has seen him sleeping as a half-youkai. He slept his nights on a tree.
Serena felt someone’s hand on her shoulder and turns to look. “Any better?†Morrigan asked, with little H_P_M on her shoulder. Serena shook her head. “I begin to worry about him. It is unusual for him. He should be all right by now. He’s a son of a youkai for crying out loud!! He has abilities to heal faster than humans does!!!!†She sobbed, dropping some tears from her blue-grey eyes.
“Shhh… it’s all right, Serena …it’s all right…like Kaede said, half-youkais…like Trunks…can get sick like humans…†Morrigan comforts her friend by hugging her.
“But…but Trunks is powerful! He’s strong for being just half-blooded youkai! Like Wikiberry…â€
“Who’s Wikiberry?â€
“A half-youkai we met once… Trunks and I… when we went to look for herbs for Miroku.â€
“Oh yeah…now I remember. You told me about her.â€
Serena sniffed and wiped some of her tears away. “Yeah…she is very kind…and strong. She only needed some self-confident.â€
“And you need some rest. You have been taking care of him more than any of us. Go home. It’s safe enough for you to walk at the Bone Eating-Well… and see your family. I bet that they are pretty much worried about YOU.â€
“But…what about Trunks? I can’t leave! I have to stay with him!â€
“I’ll take care of him for you…and so will Kaede.â€
â€ATCHOO!!â€
“And of Miroku…†Morrigan groans.
“Gee… he’s still as sick as Trunks.†Serena said, thinking about Trunks.
“But he’s awake so he can’t be THAT much sick…†Morrigan muttered irritated, remembering how the houshi tried to grope her when she brought him some medicine.
“HEY!!! I have a cold like Trunks has!!!†Miroku claimed from his futon. “But unlike you, Miroku, Trunks hasn’t woke up yet.†Serena said as she tucked the sleeping half-youkai into his blanket, which made him slightly stir in his sleep.
“True…â€Miroku mumbled and sneezed again. Morrigan sighs again and turns to Serena. “You should get going Serena … go see your family and rest a little. I promise you that I’ll take care of him for you.â€
“Well… okay…I’ll go. But I’ll be back soon enough, bring some medicine from my time!â€
“Sure thing. Now, go!†Morrigan smiled to her and chuckled for her friend being so attentive of Trunks.
“Bye! See you later!†Serena took her over-sided backpack with her and went to the well. Then Trunks moans as Serena has left the hut. The scent…the girl’s scent was gone! Where is she? What has happened to her? He groans and moans in his sleep and turns his head side to side restlessly, trying to find that comfortable scent again.
Morrigan predicted this would happen, so she brought a cloth that has Serena’s scent on it and kept it near to the dog-demon’s keen nose. It worked! After taking a sniff of that cloth, he calmed down and sighed in relief and went back to sleep peacefully. Whew! Good thing that I took this cloth from Serena last night! Or else we would have a very upset and delirious half-youkai running around the room.
^^^
- Serena’s time-
“Hello!!!†Serena shouted as she entered to her house. Her mother came from the kitchen in hurry as she heard her older and only daughter’s voice. “Serena !! Thank gods that you are all right!! You said that you would come on Friday evening and now it’s Monday morning all ready! What happened?â€
“I got into a blizzard in the Warring Age, mom. But don’t worry…I’m all right! I was in a shelter by the time a huge blizzard started there! But…â€
“But?â€
“But Trunks…he was in a blizzard and got wet and cold… and now he’s sick.â€
“Goodness! Is he all right now?â€
“Well…I don’t know, mom. He hasn’t woke up for two days now…I-I’m worried about him…â€
“Serena …I think he’ll quite all right…with you taking care of him. You do like him, don’t you?â€
Serena blushes, her cheeks have a slight pink colour on it. “Well… I… umm… that is…â€
Her mother chuckles as she sees her daughter blush and stuttering her words. “It’s quite all right, Serena. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t feel like it. Now, take a bath and then come down. I’ll make some breakfast for you. And don’t worry about your school today. It’s closed because of all that snowing here.â€
“YAY!!!!!†Serena jumps in joy and then rushes to her room to get her bathrobe and towel and went into the bathroom. She undressed herself but her mind was anywhere else but the bath. She really WAS worry about Trunks. I hope he’s doing fine without me being there.
^^^
-Warring Age, Kaede’s hut-
Trunks’s dream sequence
*~Trunks…~ the feminine voice said to him. He was standing in a snow blizzard and he didn’t feel cold at all. Trunks observes his surroundings, looking for the owner of the voice he hears. He drags his feet on a snow, not knowing where he was heading .~ Trunks…~
~Who are you??? Where are you???~ He shouted at the nothingness.
~trunks…~ the voice one more time and then there was a figure before the dog-demon. Trunks couldn’t see clearly but he knew that it was a young woman. He narrowed his eyes so he could see her face but he couldn’t. He couldn’t see them because of the blizzard. ~ Who are you?~
~A friend…~ she answered to him.*
In a real world
Trunks moans again as Morrigan tucks him into the blanket. In his sleep, he pulls the blanket over his chin and rolls onto his side so Morrigan couldn’t see his face again. “I think he’s having a dream…†Shippo said over Morrigan’s shoulder. “Yes. Let’s leave him alone for a while…we don’t have to watch him all the time,†Morrigan suggested, standing up with Shippo on her shoulder and they left, leaving Trunks alone.
Back to the dream
*~What do you want from me?~ Trunks snarls a bit, feeling pretty unsure of the woman before him. ~The Shikon no or is it Talon? If you want that, then forget it!! I will NOT give them to you!!!~
The young woman chuckles a bit.~ I don’t want the jewels of four souls…~
~Then… what DO you want?!?!~
The woman comes closer to him, letting him see her more clearly, yet not clearly enough to see her face. She was wearing strange clothes, a short green skirt and a white blouse. Her feet were almost bare, expect for the white socks that reaches almost to her knees and strange things on her feet. Trunks could see her black hair and her blue-gray eyes…but her face still remains unrecognizable to him.
~I want you to live, Trunks…for me…onegirl…Live for me…I don’t want to lose you…~*
Reality
Trunks sweats and stirs as he sleeps on, shivering and scolding a bit. He holds onto his blanket, which almost was covering his face. “I…I…†he mumbles in his sleep.
Dream
*~OneGirl, Trunks… I don’t want to lose you…Live… ~ the woman begged him, her tears falling from her eyes, which changed into icy pearls.*
Reality (again!)
Trunks’s claws started to grown longer and sharper.
Dream
*Now the woman was closer to him but for some reason, now as a full-blooded youkai, Trunks couldn’t still recognize her who she was. He has seen her before but he didn’t know… REMEMBER her name…Why did he have to remember her name, he thought in his dream, she’s just some human.
~ Live for me…onegirl…don’t give up…~*
Reality
The dog-demon’s eyes snapped wide-open and then narrows. They weren’t the same golden eyes anymore. They held the color of red and pale blue streak pupils. He sniffs slightly and caught a scent of humans! There were three of them and a kitsune, too. And one of humans was coming closer.
Just by then,
Morrigan, Kaede, Miroku and Shippo arrives, bring more medicine for the sick dog-demon.
“Trunks… it’s time for your medicine again,†Morrigan said quietly as she kneels next to him. As her hand approaches at the still half-youkai, the youkai-hunter sensed something strange from him and stumbles quickly backwards, waving her hands for the others to back off.
“ALL OF YOU!!! STAY BACK!!! SOMETHING’S WRONG HERE!!!!†By then Trunks slashes his claws at Morrigan but he misses her slightly. The youkai-hunter takes her gigantic boomerang but ease for a second, remembering that this youkai is her friend. Trunks couldn’t stand up because of his lack of clothing so he stays in his blanket, showing his long and deathly claws to them.
“Stay… away from me, you B!@(H!! If you value your LIFE!!!†He spat to Morrigan, his fangs showing from his mouth. “Now…bring me the clothes!!!â€
“Trunks…†Morrigan said calmly and with determination. “We’ll bring you your clothes IF you touch Tetsusaiga first…â€
“What ever for would I touch some ‘Tetsusaiga’?†The youkai Trunks smirks, snarling at the humans (and kitsune).
“So you can change back to your normal, half-youkai self!!!†The frighten kitsune infant said quickly before he could realize his mistake. The full-blooded dog-demon flatted his ears hearing ‘half-youkai’ and his snarls turned into deeper growls, showing his fangs again. “And WHY would I change into a HALF-YOUKAI?!?!? When I’m MORE powerful this way?!?!?â€
“Because we care for you… and you are our friend…†Morrigan said slightly calmly, wishing that Serena were here to her place and trying to calm him down.
“BAH!!! Humans CAN’T be friends of youkai!!! Now… GIVE ME MY CLOTHES!!!!†He roars in anger.
“… If you promise NOT to harm us,†Morrigan bargains with him, knowing what would be his answer.
“Feh! Why?â€
“Because you would upset a young girl who is yours and ours closest friend.â€
“Ho… Is that so?†He smirks.
“Hai… and she’s the one who saved your life…â€
“Eh? Saved… my life? How could she possibly save my life?? Is she stupid or what for risking her life to save a life of a YOUKAI???â€
“It’s true,Trunks. She did. She went into a blizzard to find you and she and Morrigan brought you here into warmth so you wouldn’t get a cold, which you did,†Miroku said, holding his staff for protection.
“…â€The youkai stares at the humans, slightly disbelieving their words. Then he remembered his dream, a dream about a young woman. He remembers the woman being a human, begging him to live for her and saying that she’s his friend. But that can’t be right! Humans COULDN’T be friends of a youkai. Or could they? In his dream the girl was wearing strange and foreign clothes that he hadn’t seen before. Which reminds him…
“Alright, I won’t kill you. So bring me my clothes NOW!â€
Morrigan nods to Miroku and he fetches Trunks’s red kimono. Trunks snatches his clothes from the houshi and snarls at Kaede and Morrigan, telling in his way to ‘get lost’. The women leave him but Miroku and Shippo stayed with him, watching him so he won’t plan to kill them. The youkai scolds at them but he dressed into his kimono quickly so he could get away from the humans. Then a piece of cloth fell to the floor. He picks it up and held it next to his nose, sniffing it.
What?!?!? I…KNOW this scent!!! It has a human female’s scent but… I know this scent!!! He thought and then turns at the houshi, holding the piece of cloth before him. “You!!! Bozo!!! Whose is this???â€
“Why…that belongs to Serena!†The little kitsune exclaimed as he caught the scent.
Something twitched inside the youkai. “S-er.. Serena …?â€
“Yeah! She’s our friend! A friend, which Morrigan talked about! The one who took care of you!†Shippo tried to refresh Trunks’s memory since he didn’t remember them. But perhaps he could remember Serena.
Trunks blinks and held the cloth in his hand. Serena …why does that name sound so familiar to me? And this scent…I remember this scent…it…somehow comforts me… He decided to keep the cloth for sure.
“Well…it seems to me that I’ll stay here for a while…if this ‘Serena’ comes here. I want to see her and… t-thank her for saving my life,†he sputtered the last words, feeling pretty uncomfortable saying it loud. “Which means that you and I have to tolerate each other when she gets here…†he lays onto his back again, making himself comfortable by putting his arms below his head. Now all he has to do is wait and try to tolerate the hut full of human scents in it. When he has seen this ‘Serena’-girl the humans spoke of, he leaves this place at once. And never coming back here again.
It’s been two days since Trunks got sick and he hasn’t still woke up. The blizzard was gone, and now it was snowing normally and not as dangerously. Serena sighs as she sat next to sleeping dog-demon. This is the first time when she sees him so calm and relaxed as he slept.

He has abilities to heal faster than humans does!!!!†She sobbed, dropping some tears from her blue-grey eyes.
“Shhh… it’s all right, Serena …it’s all right…like Kaede said, half-youkais…like Trunks…can get sick like humans…†Morrigan comforts her friend by hugging her.
“But…but Trunks is powerful! He’s strong for being just half-blooded youkai! Like Wikiberry…â€
“Who’s Wikiberry?â€
“A half-youkai we met once… Trunks and I… when we went to look for herbs for Miroku.â€
“Oh yeah…now I remember. You told me about her.â€
Serena sniffed and wiped some of her tears away. “Yeah…she is very kind…and strong. She only needed some self-confident.â€

“I’ll take care of him for you…and so will Kaede.â€
â€ATCHOO!!â€
“And of Miroku…†Morrigan groans.
“Gee… he’s still as sick as Trunks.†Serena said, thinking about Trunks.
“But he’s awake so he can’t be THAT much sick…†Morrigan muttered irritated, remembering how the houshi tried to grope her when she brought him some medicine.
“HEY!!! I have a cold like Trunks has!!!†Miroku claimed from his futon. “But unlike you, Miroku, Trunks hasn’t woke up yet.†Serena said as she tucked the sleeping half-youkai into his blanket, which made him slightly stir in his sleep.

After taking a sniff of that cloth, he calmed down and sighed in relief and went back to sleep peacefully. Whew! Good thing that I took this cloth from Serena last night! Or else we would have a very upset and delirious half-youkai running around the room.

Let’s leave him alone for a while…we don’t have to watch him all the time,†Morrigan suggested, standing up with Shippo on her shoulder and they left, leaving Trunks alone.
Back to the dream
*~What do you want from me?~ Trunks snarls a bit, feeling pretty unsure of the woman before him. ~The Shikon no or is it Talon? If you want that, then forget it!! I will NOT give them to you!!!~

And never coming back here again.
Part 3: Tipping Emotions
-Serena’s time-
The day has grown older and it was afternoon already. Serena’s mother was making dinner to her family in the kitchen as for Serenawas in her own room, packing her backpack with useful stuffs; more likely for Trunks. Some medicine, more blankets for her friends, warm clothes for herself, food and so on.
“Hope these will do for now. It’s much colder there than here! All the help is needed there!â€
“Serena!! Dinner!!†Her mother calls from the kitchen.
“Coming mom!†Serena grabs her over-sized backpack and goes to the kitchen with it.
“My goodness…Li’l Serena. What do you have in that bag of yours?â€
Serena sweat drops. “Useful stuffs, mom. I need them at the Warring Age.â€
“Serena …Don’t you this it’s kinda overreacted a little?†Sota asked as he munches his food.
“Little Sota…eat first, then talk!†Serena muttered as she sat down next to him.
“Don’t’ call me “Littleâ€!!!â€
“Now, now, children. Peace. It’s time to eat, not to fight.†Their mother shushed them to settle down.
“Ok, mom.†Both of them said and picked up their chopsticks. After I have eat, I’ll go back to Trunks and the others, Serena thought as she ate her Dinner.
^^^
-After the dinner-
“I’m finished! I’ll be going now!â€
“Serena. Do you have to go now so soon?â€
“Yes, mom. I have to go back for Trunks. Remember?â€
“I remember. Hope he’ll be come around soon.â€
“Me too, mom. Me, too.†Serena mumbled softly, barely above a whisper. She puts her warm jacket on her and her scarf around her neck and her mittens and boots and took off. Hoping for the best that Trunks will get better.
^^^
-Warring Age-
Little did Serena know that Trunks was more than just recovered. Now fully transformed into a demon Trunks sits at the corner of Kaede’s hut, keeping his promise he made to them: not killing any of them ‘til he have met Serena and then he could leave this place and never wanting to see any of the humans ever again.
“I hope Serena comes this time later than usually, for her sake!†Morrigan whispered with a low voice to sneezing houshi.
“Me, too, Morrigan. I doubt that he can recognize her at all. He’s still little feverish and with his demon form…no wonder he doesn’t recognize any of us!â€
“But…†Morrigan glances at the dog-demon at the corner, “will he recognize Serena after all?â€
“Well… he DID recognize her scent from the cloth she left here!†Shippo pointed out from Miroku’s shoulder.
“That’s true, but will he recognize her FACE?†Miroku wisely said but unwisely tried to approach to Morrigan and got smacked.
Trunks snorted and looked pretty annoyed at the scene before him. He couldn’t quite understand their behavior at all. One minute they were all defending themselves, ready to fight for their lives and next thing they are claiming to be his friends, trying to help him. This was very confusing to him.
Humans! Such a boring and weak lot! Useless! But still… if what their were telling was true…that girl “Serena†saving my life… He starts to ponder where he has heard her name before and why did it make his heart pound faster than before.
Feh! You are losing your grip over a HUMAN! More or less over a human girl who you haven’t even MET before! Trunks snarls quietly and leans against the wall, waiting for the mysterious “Serenaâ€.
^^^
-The Bone-Eating Well-
“Goodness! It’s still cold here! At least it has stop snowing.†Serena climbed out of the well, dragging her backpack with her. “O-kay! Now to Kaede’s hut and see if Trunks is feeling any better!†The snow was so thick and deep now after the blizzard so it could take some time for her to arrive to the hut.
I got so scared when Morrigan and I found him in that snow, lying so still, looking so helpless. I thought I lost him! This thought made her think about over and over. Why was she scared of losing him? Because I care for him…perhaps even more as a friend. I…I…
It came to her. Like from thin air, it came to her. Serenastops from walking for a moment to think about it over, with feeling. I like him…no. I… love him…? Yes…I do love him. But when I have started to love him? And are these feelings mine or… she gulped at the last thought, Asmiley’s? No. No, my feelings are mine. Not Asmiley’s! I’m not Asmiley!
Something cold fell by her cheek and she knew it was a tear. No! Stop crying, Serena! It’s not worth to cry now! She scowled to herself and wipes the tear away before it could freeze onto her cheek. Get a grip, Serena! Think about this later…AFTER Trunks is well again. Right now, your friend needs to GET better!
But the thoughts of her feelings for him didn’t leave her easily as she thought first so maybe a long walk in a fresh, winter air wouldn’t do any harm for her after all. Even though it was much colder than at her time. She didn’t mind it at all. All she ever cared of was for her friend to get better. , Trunks… just hang on a little bit. I’m coming!
^^^
-Back at Kaede’s hut-
GRRRR!!!!! I can’t wait anymore!!!! I have to get out of here!!!! I can’t stand the smell of weak humans!!! Trunks stands up and was about to leave from the hut when Miroku steps before him, preventing him to leave with his staff.
“No!!!! You can’t leave!!!!! You’re sick!!!!! You have a fever!!!!!!â€
“Shut up bozo!!!!! I’ll leave when I like to!!!!! Now, step a side or else I’ll rip your f@(!ing head off!!!!!!†The dog-demon clenches his fist and showing his long claws at the houshi. But Miroku didn’t give up! He just HAD to keep Trunks indoors! He couldn’t let me leave when he has slightest fever and the rock-headed youkai didn’t realize that at all!
“No! I’ll not let you leave this place!!â€
“Neither will I!!†Morrigan said determined and stood next to the houshi with her gigantic boomerang in her hands.
“Feh! Looks like I have to brake my promise after all…†Trunks prepairs to strike but then Serena enters inside the hut, all huffing and puffing after a long way through snow.
“I’m back!! Boy! Am I tired from walking through that snow out there! It’s SO deep out there!! It was lucky that I managed to come here…†As she dropped her backpack to the floor she finally got a glimpse of what was going on in the hut. Miroku and Morrigan were in their fighting position and Trunks has turned into YOUKAI?????
What????? What has happened here while I was gone????? Why has Trunks turned into youkai????? “What is going ON here???? Miroku??Morrigan???â€
“Serena!!!!†Shippo cried out as he jumped into arms of stunned human girl at the doorway. “You’re back!!!!â€
Trunks relaxes his claws as he heard the kitsune cried out the girl’s name. Serena???
“Shippo!! Are you all right??â€
“Yes!!!†The kitsune pup grabs onto her sleeve, a little bit shaken.
“Serena! You’re here! Stay back!!â€
“Miroku-kun? What is going on?â€
“Trunks woke up from his sleep and changed into youkai!â€
“WHAT??? But why?â€
“We don’t know!†Morrigan answered quickly.
“Don’t know? What do you mean ‘don’t know’?â€
“OI!!!!!! GIRL!!!!!â€
All three human snaps their head to look at the youkai before them, slightly worried about what will he do next. They saw that the youkai was pointing his clawed finger at Serena, with slight confusion showing from his face.
“Trunks…?â€
“Girl… you…are Serena…?â€
‘He…doesn’t recognize me?’ Serena thought terrified and felt how the tears were treating to fall for some reason. “Yes… I am…â€
Trunks took a step forward at Serena and Miroku came before her, trying to protect her from the youkai. The dog-demon snarls at the houshi and his eyes flashes dangerously at the human male and his dog-ears flatten against his skull.
“No, Miroku!!! I’ll be all right!!â€
“Serena?â€
“Trust me…†she said calmly and took a small step at the youkai. Trunks came closer to her, sniffing her hair, which made Serena confused and scared a little. The youkai came next to her right ear and took a sniff again and then backed away with shocked expression on his face.
“You…hold the same scent as this does!†He shows Serena the cloth before her grey-blue eyes. “You are the one who saved…my life?†He leaned closer to her face, his nose almost touching hers. “Or were they lying about it?†He indicated with eyes at Miroku and Morrigan behind of Serena.
“N-no…they weren’t…I went to look for you in the blizzard and me and Morrigan saved you from a huge blizzard two days ago and I took care of you ever since ‘til I had to go back home to see my family. I’m sorry that wasn’t here when you woke up,†she answered softly and calmly to him, looking straight at his red eyes with pale blue irises with her grey-blue ones.
Grey-blue eyes…she has the same grey-blue eyes as the girl in my dreams…It’s her…
“It’s you,†he said softly, slightly growling.
“Pardon?â€
“It’s you… you’re the girl from my dreams…â€
This revelation made Serena blush with light pink hue on her cheeks. He… has been dreaming about ME??? Trunks touches carefully Serena fine, black hair and brings is next to his nose, taking a sniff again. Then he ran his clawed fingers carefully onto her cheeks, making sure that she was real and not a dream this time. This was crazy! She’s for real and he could feel it and SMELL it!! He couldn’t believe it!
“Because of you…I’m here and alive. In my dreams…you asked me to survive with any cost.â€
So that’s why he changed into youkai-form, Morrigan thought, because he dreamt of Serena and he wanted to survive. For her! I wonder…
Trunks stares at the girl before him for a while, still doesn’t recognize her as one of his friends. And yet, there was something familiar about her that he didn’t quite figured it out. There something about her that makes him feels…secured and home as if he could trust in her even more than the other humans.
“Trunks?†Now Serena became worried of him. He just stares at her, doing or saying nothing. “Trunks?â€
The dog-demon steps backward interruptible, waving his hands in the air and sweating from the fever. He breathes heavily as he heard Serena’s heart beating raptly in her chest in fear and her eyes shows concern? Why does she look at me like that? As if she cares for me?
“Who are you…? What are you to me? STOP STARING ME LIKE THAT!!!!!!â€
“Trunks!??!†Serena comes closer to him, not paying heed on her friends’ protests and worried shouts. “Trunks… it’s okay. I’m…I’m your friend. I…I…care for you as a friend that’s all…†Now, why I’m not satisfied on that answer?
“A…friend?â€
“Yes, Trunks. A friend. You can trust me…â€
“Humans aren’t trustworthy!! They are full of mischievous and they don’t care youkais like me!! They want my kind DEAD!!!!â€
“But I care for you!!! You’ve got to believe me, Trunks!!! I…care for you…as a friend… like friends should be…why don’t you believe me?†Serena sobbed slightly, getting frustrated over this situation. Why doesn’t he remember her? Is it because of the fever he was still suffering without him to notice it? Or is it the youkai mind that prevents his memories? She didn’t know. All she wants is for Trunks to remember her and the others.
The youkai gulps nervously at the sight of crying girl. He became uncomfortable of it and yet it seems strangely familiar to him. ACK! She’s…crying!?!? I made her cry!??!
“H-hey you stupid wench!! Stop crying!!! You hear me??!?!â€
“You…honestly don’t remember us…don’t you? And you still act like a jerk *I* know!!!â€
“Ack!! You…DARE TO CALL ME A “JERKâ€???â€
Serena steps near to the youkai with anger and sadness burning inside of her. “Yeah… I dare,†she whispered softly as she wiped some of her tears away. She reached her hand to touch his cheek but he stepped away, confused of her behavior.
What’s with this girl??? First, she acts so sweet and kind, and then she’s calling me a “jerk†and then she on sweet again!!! Can’t she make up her mind already????
“I can see that you’re troubled, Trunks so I’ll not trouble you anymore.â€
“Oi!! Where are you going now???â€
Serena stopped as she heard his growling voice behind before she would walk out of the door. “I’m going out for a walk…IF you don’t mind!†And she stomped away before any more tears comes falling from her eyes, leaving an annoyed and dumbfounded youkai behind.
“That…that WITCH!!! How DARE she act like that in front of ME????â€
“If you ask me you deserveroku muttered beneath his breath but the dog-demon heard it.
“What---was---THAT, bozo????â€
“Nothing,†the houshi answered calmly to the youkai, showing no fear to him.
“Feh! I had have enough of you humans…â€
“Hey!!â€
“And kitsune… I’ll be gone now!â€
“Trunks!! You can’t go!!! You still have a fever!!†Morrigan claimed strongly to him.
“You lie!! Youkais CAN’T get sick!!†With that, he left quickly than an eye can see. Three humans and a kitsune stared after him as the youkai left. But Miroku and Morrigan became worried all the sudden.
“We have to get him back…in flesh AND in mind! We cannot let him be in his youkai form! He’s too dangerous!â€
“I agree with Morrigan. But he did keep his promise; not killing us after seeing Serena…so there might be slight of his TRUE character inside his mind… somewhere deep.†Miroku said out loud thoughtfully, his beads clinging around his right wrist as he rubs his chin with his hand.
“So that means…â€
“He’s own mind…THE Trunks we used to know is still somewhere deep inside of the youkai we saw.â€
-Serena’s time-
The day has grown older and it was afternoon already. Serena’s mother was making dinner to her family in the kitchen as for Serenawas in her own room, packing her backpack with useful stuffs; more likely for Trunks. Some medicine, more blankets for her friends, warm clothes for herself, food and so on.
