Lina watched her fellow classmates with eyebrows raised, but said nothing on the matter. instead, she said, "Can I use othe other phone? I have to call home and let them know I'm staying over."

As Alex was helping Sonny up he was momentarily distracted by jack suddenly leaving. "Wait!" He called. "It's probably safer not to travel alone!" He wondered if Jack had heard him or if he was already gone. Regardless, he had apparently missed something that Sonny had said when he then rushed into the kitchen. Alex wondered for a moment if Sonny would be alright on his own, but the sudden turn of speed somewhat indicated that he was probably doing a bit better already.
Alex then had his attention drawn away again by Lina. He nodded, relieved to have something so simple to deal with and handed her the wireless phone from a small side table.

Lina nodded her thanks and quickly dialed her home number, hoping someone would be there to pick up the phone. Finally, after a moment, there was a voice on the other end. "Hello?"
Mentally breathing a sigh of relief, Lina responded, "Amelia? This is Lina calling."
"Ah, Miss Carolina! I was wondering where you were!"
Lina rolled her eyes. "First off, it's Lina, just Lina. Second, I went out with some classmates to Starbucks and get some drinks..."
She was interupted by an excited exclaimation from the other end. "Oh, how wonderful! I'm so glad you're gettng involved with other people again!"
Lina repressed the urge to groan. As much as she liked their long-time housekeeper (indeed, at times she was more like Lina's mother than her own)... she could be a bit overeager when it came to her charge's affairs... offhandedly, Lina wondered if that what mothers were like.
"Look," she said, in a bit of a rush, "I was gonna come home afterwards... but then there was a sudden change of plans and we had to go over to to one of my classmate's houses, and I'm staying the night."
A pause. "Carolina," came the response, "I hope you're not getting yourself into anything bad ..."
"What? No, no of course not! You know me, I'll be able to handle myself!" Plus, she thought with a grin, If anyone does plan to do anything funny, I'll know about it.
The whole "having psychic powers" thing was really starting to grow on her... not that she'd admit it or anything.
"Look, if it makes you feel better, I'll come home as soon as I can. If my folks get home... just tell hem I'm alreay in bed, okay?"
There was a sigh at the other end. "Alright, I can tell you want to do this... but please just be careful, okay?"
"I will, bye." Lina hung up, feeling equally relieved and guilty at the same time. Shaking her head, she turned to Alex again. "...So, what's there to eat around here?" She asked, trying to distance herself from her own issues.

Jason reached into his pocket with his unshielded hand and pulled out his cell phone once more to check the time. It was now going on 6:00 PM and dusk was beginning to set in. Jason knew that his parents wouldn't let him spend the night with someone he just met, regardless of how safe or cool they were.
"Sorry Alex, but I have to head home. I know for a fact that my parents will call the police if I don't come home soon. Sorry to leave so soon. Good bye everyone, I'll see you all at school tomorrow. Alex, don't forget to take care of Bleu." Jason reminded Alex before walking out of the door and heading towards his house. Jason's house was about an hour's walk from Alex's but Jason had his shield so he had nothing to worry about in terms of danger.
After walking for what felt like an eternity, Jason finally made it home. It was a fairly large house, two stories tall, accompanied by a lawn in the front and garage on the left side of the house. Jason unlocked the front door with his key and went inside.
"HEY! I'm HOOOOME!" Jason called out to anyone in the house.
"Oh hi Jason, how was school tod-What is that thing on your arm? " Jason's mother greeted him in the foyer, instantly noticing his shield.
"Oh, this thing? Its just a prop for our Theater class. The teacher is a bit nuts and gave me this shield to do god knows what." Jason explained.
"Oh, alrighty then. I'm not cooking tonight so you will have to fend for yourself." Jason's mom walked off into the living room and sat down in front of the television.
Jason walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge and found some leftover pizza from the other day. He took the pizza upstairs to his room where he plopped down on his bed and began eating the pizza.
He looked to his shield. Now how the hell do I get this thing off? Jason pondered. He ran his hand along the blue surface, feeling just how smooth the metal was. He grabbed it and tried to pull it off. Surprisingly, it worked. The blue line of energy connecting his scar to the shield was severed and the shield was now free from Jason's arm. He dropped it on the floor next to his bed and suddenly felt very tired. His eyes rolled back into his head and he fell back onto his pillow and passed out...with a slice of cheese pizza hanging out of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Bleu was still feeling uncertain about all of this. Then she remembered that she could change her appearance while in the Human world to blend in. "Oh! I jusssst remembered sssomething. Hold on a sssec." Bleu closed her eyes and concentrated. Slowly, her tail began to fade back into the ghostly transparancy that it was back at the coffee shop, and a pair of human legs were left underneath the transparent tail.
She tried standing on them and stumbled a great deal before steadying herself on the TV set. "Sssorry, I'm not very usssed to walking on legsss rather than sssliding along the ground." Bleu apologized. She carefully hobbled back over to the couch and sat down. "Ssso, what are we going to do about food? i'm ssstarting to get a bit hungry."

Once everyone has found a place to rest for the night, whether it be Alex's house or your own home, I will progress the plot once more and the next day of school will commence. Sweet dreams everyone!
"Hello, Mother? Yes, I know... Yes, I am... No! Oh, God no! Noooooo, nonono. I was, uh... hospital! Yes, I'm in hospital!" Sonny patted himself on the back for this ingenious excuse. There were one or two teensy flaws in telling his mother this, but it was better than what she had suggested. Dear Christ, was it better... Sonny shuddered, then returned his attention to the bare-faced lies he was telling his one parent.
"It was, uh... a truck! Yes, I was hit by a truck, and they're keeping me in hospital overnight due to my truck injuries! No, no, don't worry; it's nothing serious! Just, uh..." At last, Sonny had an opportunity to be slightly truthful, and he grabbed it with both hands. "Two twisted ankles, a few loose teeth, lacerations along my back and possible mild concussion," he said, ticking off the injuries as he said them in his head. Had he been thinking straight, his mother's reaction to this news may have been fairly easy to predict, but as it was he was rather shocked by the sudden high-pitched noise blaring from the phone and was forced to hold it away from his ear to prevent any damage to his hearing.
"No, calm down, mother, it's alright! No, don't- no! No, you can't visit me! I, uh... I don't know which hospital I'm at!" Ha! "No, no, I can't ask a nurse, because..." Sonny racked his damaged brains for a reason why. "Uh... because they hate me." A masterstroke. "If I try to talk to them, they call me names. And... they hit me." Suddenly, a new idea popped into Sonny's head; not a moment too soon, as the shrieking coming from the receiver in his hand was beginning to make his already-present headache even worse. The genius of this new idea caused Sonny to grin with glee and self-satisfaction, and he declared quite cheerfully into the phone, "Oh, no, here they come now! Oh, what are you doing? No, I was just calling my mother- aah, no, please don't hit me again! Oh no; Mother, they've got the phone! No, please don't-"
Sonny hung up, then barely managed to prevent himself from leaping into the air in ecstasy. The first day in his sure-to-be-long career of lying to his parent - a pastime every teenager should engage in, he noted - and it had gone spectacularly well! He didn't feel good about worrying his mother, no, but the satisfaction of a tale well strung, combined with the significant effects of the earlier head trauma, made feeling bad about it rather difficult.
Finding walking easier with every step he took, Sonny strode quite confidently back into the living-room, still grinning. Then remembering that he had to maintain his pleasant manner in front of these people so they didn't think he was unusual - well, obviously they knew he was unusual by now; in fact, it had probably been fairly simple to deduce the second they'd laid eyes on him, but he was unusual in his own Sonny-ish way, not some grinning psychopath way - and wiped the smirk off his face, before sitting back down on the couch he had lain unconscious on half an hour earlier.
"I suppose I'll be sleeping on the couch, then?" Sonny asked Alex, taking care not to allow any inflictions that may imply that this was anything other than fine enter his voice. The man had carried him all this distance, dressed his wounds and provided him with a place to stay for the night; Sonny couldn't rob him of his things any further.

Angelo began walking home. It was a fair while and not too much was happening, so he had a good time to reflect on exactly what had happened. Demons exist, some want to go to human world so they get into shady deals in order to get here, but strings are attached that cause them to have to pay "rent" despite that fact that they had not been told prior. This leads to the demons who collect the rent to take away the demons back, kicking and screaming to Spirit World. Today, we stopped that from happening and maybe something worse. On top of all this, Powers among Humans exist, and Angelo, as well as just about everyone in the group, had a power.
He was able to get lightning pretty much shooting from his fingers, and that saved his life. He came away bruised in pretty much everywhere, and his chest hurt a lot, but he still had his life, all thinks to a bright spark. Angelo held his hand out and tried again, focusing himself on the fingers, but to no avail. He wasn't getting the same surge that he was before. He felt something travel through his arm, but it was weak and diminished by the time it reached his wrist.
All out of juice, he thought and walked on.
Angelo arrived at his home after walking a fair distance. His chest was in agony, and he was breathing hard from it. Demons are clearly stronger than humans, and these two were grunts. Angelo dreaded to think about who exactly was running the operation. Had to be someone strong, or have a strong bodyguard, otherwise he would have been overthrown in a flash.
Angelo opened the door and entered the hallway. Taking off his shoes on the welcome mat, he saw his mother and father were home. Earlier than he expected, at first before realising it was later than he realised. His parents were having a chat at the breakfast bar, extruding around from the main body of the kitchen.
"Hello Angelo," His mother said, noticing him walk in and his father followed suit with a nod as he took a long drink from his coffee.
Angelo smiled, he was home. Everything made sense and was fine at home. "Hi Mom, Dad." He said and walked over to pour himself a glass of lemonade.
"Did you have a good day at..." His father started before noticing that he wasn't walking right. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," he said, "I got into a fight with two guys." He didn't want to lie, but it wasn't lying so long as he doesn't mention they were demons. "I... made some friends, and we all saw two guys chase this girl, them screams. When we got over there, they were trying to hurt her, and more. We went to protect her. They were stronger than we thought, but we managed to get them away from her."
Angelo's mother sighed then looked tearful, "Ohh... Did you even consider they might have had a knife, a gun? You have to be more careful! I can't bear losing you, Angelo." She was, almost crying, making Angelo feel guilty. "Please, just for once, cast away your morals for a while. You don't have to be a hero."
If not me, then who else will stand?

Damien walked back inside. He was noticeably more lax and seemed as if he had calmed down somewhat. He slid the metal bat into its compartment as he pulled out a cellphone. "Mind if I stay here? My home is in the opposite direction from here, and my power is drained. I'm just tiger-bait right now." Damien dexterously dialed a number on his phone and wandered into another room. Damien waited with the dial tone in his ear. Finally his dad picked up. "Hey dad, it's me. Yeah, I'm fine. No, I haven't run in with a rough crowd. I made a friend and he invited me over. No, there is no homework- it's the first day. Wait, what? No! Hell no! Dad, the kid's the cap'n o' the boxin' team! I don't think he could be any cleaner if 'e put on a suit and went white collar! Okay, good. Thank you. Love you too. Goodbye."
Damien shrugged as he walked back in. "Sorry 'bout that. Anyways, my parents are cool with me stayin' 'ere. Now that we moved, so long as I'm not doin' drugs or on the wrong side of a knife again, they really don't care what I do. Diff'rent standards, I suppose." Damien rummaged around in his bag for a bit before magically producing a small pillow and a blanket. Damien saw the looks and shrugged defensively. "What? The bus ain't exactly comfortable on a 14 hour trip to play baseball. Anyway, I guess I'll take the chair, if no-one else wants it."

After a short time Alex reentered with some reheated pizza that he put down in front of the others. He was a touch embarrassed that he didn't have any better food around, but there was plenty to go around and he hadn't been expecting to feed anyone else. "Um, if anyone needs anything else then just tell me." He said when he suddenly herd the front door open and close again.
A female voice drifted in from the front. "Oh hi Prince. Who's a good fat kitty? You're a good fat kitty."
Alex quickly moved to where the voice was originating from and as he entered the foyer and saw about what he expected; his sister bent over scratching the huge cat that had barely moved in the past hour. Prince, the cat, accepted the attention with a half open eye and an almost subsonic purr.
Alex's sister had also dropped her own backpack and was paying very little attention to Alex. She resembled him in several ways, being quite tall for her age: 14, and brown eyes. However, while Alex was bald as a cue ball, she had jet black hair that was pulled back into a short pony tale.
"You saw my note, right?" She said without even looking up from scratching Prince behind an ear.
"Yes. But you know you probably should have been back a little earlier." Alex replied. There was a touch of uncertainty as he thought of how to bring up the next thing. "Oh, and a few of my friends are here. They will be staying the night." He just spit out casually.
"What?!" Alex's sister shot up and stared him right in the eyes, but he didn't even flinch. "You didn't tell me anything about that." Accusation clear in her voice.
"Well, things just kind of happened. It's a long story, you..."
"Fine then." She cut Alex off. "I guess that I can just have my friends over when ever I want without telling you then." She said in a huff.
Alex's voice suddenly turned authoritative. "Now look here. That is not going to be an option. Do you understand."
"Oh? Why's that? Do you get to go by different rules then I do?!" Both of them were starting to raise their voices now, they were not quite yelling but getting close.
"Yes. Yes I do." Alex replied angrily. "Because I'm older, and I'm in charge when it's just us! That's why."
"Whatever!" She exclaimed and stormed off stomping through the room where everyone else was. She passed right by barely giving a glance to them and started to turn down a hallway. Alex was right on her heels steaming just as much. However, just before she disappeared from sight she glanced back at the others and her eyes widened for just a moment.
Then, from out of sight she waved at Alex to come closer, her face no longer showing the anger it had a moment ago. When Alex got close she whispered to him. "Hey Alex! It's one of those people. One of the girls."
Alex came close now looking confused at the sudden change in his sister. "What?" He asked also in a whisper. "Is there a problem?"
She was silent for a moment as if thinking. "I don't know, but one of those girls had like... a snake tail over her legs."
Alex suddenly broke out into a cold sweat. She had to be talking about Bleu, but Alex was sure that Bleu had changed herself again or whatever. "Haha... no way, that's ridiculous." He tried to brush it off. Was it possible that she could see through whatever it was like the others could in the coffee shop?
However, Alex's sister had caught him glance back down the hall and wasn't buying it. "You know you're terrible at telling lies." She hissed dismissively.
They were both silent for a moment, they know that Alex was bad at telling lies partially because he didn't do it very often. It would take something exceptional to make him try. Alex's sister now had a touch of fear on her face with a strained smile when she finally whispered again. "What's really going on Alex?"
"I'll tell you everything later." He answered with a slight smile of his own. "Just let it go for now?"
She seemed to consider it for a moment before she spoke again. This time though her voice was agitated again and easily carried out to the living room where everyone else was. "All right then. But you'd better keep your promise." She said before retreating into her room and slamming the door.
Alex breathed a sigh of relief. He then composed himself as he raided the linen closet for some spare blankets and pillows. He then carried the pile back to the others. "So yah, that's my sister Samantha. A real charmer I know." He gave a nervous little laugh as though nothing was wrong.
"Ah, actually." He suddenly remembered. "We do have a guest room. It's not too much, but there are two beds if Bleu or Lina want to sleep in there." There was no question that he would offer the space to the ladies; though how comfortable Lina would feel sleeping in the same room as a demon, or Bleu with a human for that mater, he didn't know. Still, he had to offer.

She seemed to consider it for a moment before she spoke again. This time though her voice was agitated again and easily carried out to the living room where everyone else was. "All right then. But you'd better keep your promise." She said before retreating into her room and slamming the door.
Alex breathed a sigh of relief. He then composed himself as he raided the linen closet for some spare blankets and pillows. He then carried the pile back to the others. "So yah, that's my sister Samantha. A real charmer I know." He gave a nervous little laugh as though nothing was wrong.
"Ah, actually." He suddenly remembered. "We do have a guest room. It's not too much, but there are two beds if Bleu or Lina want to sleep in there." There was no question that he would offer the space to the ladies; though how comfortable Lina would feel sleeping in the same room as a demon, or Bleu with a human for that mater, he didn't know. Still, he had to offer.
Lina stayed quiet as Alex's sister came home, listening to her and Alex talking. Her blooming telepathic abilities could pick up surface thoughts, and what she was recieving was rather interesting...
As Alex reentered the living room, armed with blankets and pillows and asking about a guest room, Lina was quick to speak up.
"Actually", she said, "I don't mind sleeping in here tonight." She guestered over to Bleu, saying, "She probably needs it more than I do."

Damien grinned when he saw the pizza and wolfed down two slices. It seemed to increase his depleted energy somewhat, so it was delicious as far as he was concerned. And there was still plenty left over. Damien heard Alex and his sister arguing and wondered for a moment if he was going to get kicked out. When Alex returned, Damien plastered a grin over his emotions. "Best keep yer promise- yer sister sounds like the kind who ain't gonna forget what ya promised her." Despite Damien's best efforts, a slight peal of sadness broke into his voice. Damien quickly tried to cover it. "Alright, guest room it is fir the ladies. Now I don't feel so guilty 'bout stealin' the chair." Then Damien heard Lina's denial and decided to poke a little fun at her. "Well, well, well, aren't you bold? Not plannin' anythin' are ya?" Damien laughed, then tried an experiment while he had Lina's attention. "The whole readin' thoughts thing sure is useful, ain't it?" Damien then thought about how to throw a curveball. He wanted to see how many parallel thoughts she could sift through. And if she could see deeper- well, not too much there so long as she didn't take a wrong turn.
Lina took a slice of pizza, glancing over at Damien. She could pick up what he was thinking, but said nothing. '
As long as I can at least read minds, she thought, I don't have to worry about any funny business...
Honestly, though, she didn't regret going with these guys. If anything, it made her life a bit more interesting...

Bleu hesitantly grabbed a slice of the pizza. What is this stuff? Bleu thought to herself as she nervously took a bite of the pizza. Instantly she fell in love with the cheesy goodness of the pizza.
"Ohmygosh! Thisss isss amazzzing! What do you humansss call thisss stuff!? Mmmph! Itsss ssso Good!" Bleu asked as she devoured her slice of Pizza in seconds.
"Ohmygosh! Thisss isss amazzzing! What do you humansss call thisss stuff!? Mmmph! Itsss ssso Good!" Bleu asked as she devoured her slice of Pizza in seconds.
"It's called pizza," Lina explained, smiling despite herself.
"And, there are all sorts of toppings you can put on top, from meat to vegtables. I take it they don't have pizza where you come from..."
She took a bite of her own slice, offhandedly wondering exactly what this "Demon World", and the so-called "Spirit World" were like.

"No, back home, we're usssed to eating a lot of...er...meat. Itsss probably not sssomething humansss would enjoy, but oh my god thisss ssstuff isss awesssome!" Bleu spoke through a mouthful of pizza.
I can't exactly tell them that demons eat human flesh mainly. They would never trust me for sure! I don't eat them myself...But I think I should just keep that to myself...
After wolfing down another slice of Pizza, Bleu got up from the couch and yawned and stretched her arms out.
"I'm feeling tired now ssso I think I will retire for the evening. Thank you all for what you did for me today. Alex would you mind showing me to the guessst bedroom?" Bleu asked.

I was wonderin' when we would get our C.C. parallel, AHL. 
Damien noticed how Bleu stumbled over the word meat. He thought back to the Lamia article. "What kind of meat is there I wouldn't like...oh. Oh, riiiiiiiiiiigggggggghhhhhhhtttttt. Lamia. Child eater. Meat. Well, I'm watchin' my ass next time we fight a demon." Damien shook his head. "Yeah, I'm turnin' in too. The quicker I fall asleep, the faster I c'n start gettin' some answers from Ms. Tanya. G'night, Bleu. G'night, everyone." Damien pulled the blanket up to his chest and placed the pillow under his neck. "I find grafitti on my face, n' all a y'all 'll be lookin' fer yer heads in Timbuktu." Damien joked, with his usual gallows humor before stretching and beginning to fall asleep.
"Oh, well all right then." Alex led Bleu down the hallway to a small room that barely seemed big enough to contain a pair of single beds and a disused vanity table and dresser. After making sure that she was settled Alex went back to the others.
He didn't give much thought to Bleu's comments about meat. He just assumed there must be some kind of demon animals or something.
"Well, if there's nothing else then I guess I'll tuck in as well. If there's anything you need just give a holler." With a last wave and a smile Alex headed off to his own room. He had always been a bit of an early bird and compounded with the events of the day he felt absolutely exhausted. Tomorrow was likely to be a full day as well.

Lina grabbed a blanket and pillow, putting them on the couch. "I guess I'll be sleeping here tonight," she said, and laid down underneath the blanket.
"G'night, I guess."
"G'night, I guess."
"I'll, uh... um..." Sonny pondered. "I suppose if no-one's agreed to share with Miss Bleu, I could take the other bed in that room... assuming she was alright with that, of course."
Sonny considered the possibility of going and asking the snake-woman whether she wouldn't mind sharing, but then recalled the fact that this would entail entering the dwelling of a tired, grumpy demon who probably ate children and waking her up, so rethought this plan. Perhaps he could simply tiptoe in, lie in the other bed and go to sleep without her noticing? No; when she woke up in the morning, she'd presumably be startled to find a young something there in the room with her, and may be shocked into commencing with afforementioned child-eating. What's more, even getting in there without waking her would be impossible, as in his present state Sonny had trouble even walking, let alone tiptoeing, and would almost certainly trip over, break something and startle the sleeping carnivore - as was mentioned earlier, a scenario he'd rather avoid.
"You know what, actually, this carpet's pretty comfortable," Sonny said, patting the ground he'd shuffled onto to allow Lina to lie down on the sofa. "I think I should be alright in here. Goodnight, everyone." Sonny rolled over onto his front, closed his eyes and drifted easily away into unconsciousness once more.

"And so, our heroes have finally awoken to their powers and have discovered the existence of demons in their world. They have also discovered the existence of other worlds and the evil demon-smuggling organization: Wormhole. How will our heroes cope with these new revelations? Will they be strong enough to fight off Wormhole's henchmen? Also. Just WHO is this Ms. Tanya really? Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter of: YU YU HAKUSHO! SPIRITS AMOK! " Spoke the narrator in an ominous tone.
[HEADING=2] Chapter 2: An Unexpected Field Trip. [/HEADING]
Dawn broke over the sleepy town of Danmour once more, rousing its sleeping denizens from their slumbers once more. Our heroes eagerly awoke to the morning sunlight, anxiously awaiting the answers that Ms. Tanya had promised. The group ate a quick breakfast, (Much to Alex's fridge's despair) and rushed off to the high school.
DING DANG DING DONG! The school bell chimed, signaling everyone to stop their chatting and get to class. Jason and the others found their Homeroom and took their seats. Ms. Tanya wasn't there yet, so Jason took the opportunity to turn around and talk to the others.
Jason turned around in his desk to the group. "So, how did everything go after I left? Did you guys sleep alri-." Jason only was able to get half of his question out before someone bright and cheerful interrupted him.
"Good morning everyone!!!" Ms. Tanya announced to everyone in the class. "Judging by Jason's phone call and all of the bruises that you all have, yesterday was most eventful for you. What with fighting demons and whatnot." She eyed each of the students and grinned wider and wider with each student. "Congratulations to all of you! You have all awakened your powers! And now..." She reached into her purse and pulled out a stack of Field Trip Permission forms. "I want each of you to sign this permission form. Since you all lived up to your end of the bargain, I will certainly live up to mine."
Ms. Tanya passed out the permission form to each student. The form was not very long. In fact, it was incredibly short.
"I, (Write name here) consent to going on this field trip to further learn about the powers and revelations that I have experienced in the past 24 hours." Is all that the form said...And it had the Principal's signature on the lower right corner!!!
"Ms. Tanya, How exactly did you get the principal to sign something like this?" Jason asked, incredulous to believe that the principal could knowingly allow something so strange to go unchecked.
"Oh, it was very easy actually! The paper is made of the same stuff as the forms you filled out yesterday. Only people with Spiritual Awareness can read what is actually printed on it. To him, it was just a form requesting another Dummy for our classroom since Damien was kind enough to blow it to smithereens.
"Ah-Er...well i guess that makes sense in a very messed up manner but whatever." Jason mumbled as he signed his name on the paper. He wanted very badly to know what the hell was going on with all of this.
"If you all have any questions, feel free to ask and I will answer truthfully this time, no more hiding things from you." Ms. Tanya informed the group. "Now please, sign the forms so that we can be on our way. We have a very big day planned."
