Chapter 54: How Old Is She? The battle had taken place in a deserted marketplace, and it had lasted for an hour or so. We quickly carried the unconscious Artemis back to the inn. She was a lot lighter now. Luckily, the bartender didn't bother asking questions and we quickly put her on her bed. She was sweating all over, and her forehead was hot. "Fever." I diagnosed. Kagome ran off for a ice pack and Sevin fanned her with his wings. Jakito placed his hands on her head and closed his eyes. A green light bathed Artemis's head, but nothing happened. She still kept sweating. Kagome returned with the ice pack and placed it on Artemis's head. Her breathing slowed down. The bed was wet with her sweat now. "Fire Charge." Timmy held out a red-hot hand. The bed dried up, but Artemis started sweating again. "I shouldn't have done that." He groaned and said, "Ice Charge." His hands became cold and he placed them on Artemis's head. She seemed to calm down. That night, all six of us slept in Artemis's room. Timmy and Jakito slept on the right side of Artemis while Kagome rolled out a sleeping bag on her left. Sevin furled his wings around himself comfortably and slept at the foot of the bed. I slept on beside Artemis on her bed. Her ears had reverted back to normal now, and Kagome had dressed her up in one of her pajamas. She was sleeping calmly. The next morning, I woke up with a hand on my chest. Artemis's hand. Something wasn't right though. I looked at her and jumped out of the bed in shock, landing smack on Kagome's body. She shrieked and woke up. Jakito jerked awake. Timmy knocked his head on the wall trying to get up and Sevin simply furled his wings tighter around himself. "What?" Timmy straightened. I quickly got off Kagome. "What was that for?" She said scathingly. I pointed at Artemis. "What the heck?" Timmy gasped. Artemis was slightly taller now. Her face seemed more mature too. She had grown older overnight! "What......" She mumbled, rubbing her eyes. Even her voice sounded more mature too! I got up, rubbing my eyes drowsily. The others were gathered around me, and some of them looked shocked. "Morning." I murmured and got up. I wasn't really feeling well, and there was a cold draft blowing around my waist. I walked into the bathroom to wash my face and take a look at the mirror. What I saw sent me backpedaling into the wall. I ran out of the bathroom. "How long was I out?" I asked anxiously. It was then that I noticed my voice was different. "One night." Alexis said shakily. I ran my hands all over myself. "How......" I mumbled. I noticed I was wearing pink pajamas, and my waist was exposed. The top wasn't big enough. No wonder I felt that cold draught. When I tried to Trace some clothes, nothing happened. Alexis was determined to bring me out for some new clothes, and I couldn't reject it. I borrowed some of Kagome's clothes, even though they were a few sizes too small and walked off with Alexis after tying my leg-length hair up in a ponytail. I was wearing a white blouse with a green collar and a green skirt to match. It somewhat resembled a school uniform, although again, my waist was exposed. Author's Note: Another Inuyasha reference. Heheh. When I got back to the room, I was wearing a pale blue blouse and a blue skirt. Both were plain. There were also other articles of clothing in plastic bags, including a few sets of underwear, a mini-blouse with a matching miniskirt, a long, flowing white one-piece dress and a Blue Armis, although it reminded me of the dead Ikki. "I guess your older self was meant to look more beautiful." Alexis shrugged. I felt myself blushing and quickly looked in a mirror. She was right, I did look more beautiful. I wondered how old my body actually was. "I've never heard of the Dark Angel being part white demon. Maybe this has something to do with that." Jakito tried to shed some light on things. I am an adult now...... |
