It had been a month since Raiden and Sachiko had discovered their divine nature. For the kits it was an odd experience, discovering they were different, special, able to do things no other kitsune could do. It also had an impact on those the kits called friends.
"So how does the kits being divine even work,"Gail asked. Pam, Neela, and Stella shrugged, despite being geniuses even they had a hard time discerning the meaning behind the kits celestial nature. As far as the girls could guess, the kits were magical in nature, stronger, more powerful than any other kitsune.
"I think being called a god is a misnomer," Pam stated as she now shoveled a handful of popcorn into her mouth. "Early man probably referred to the kitsune in that matter."
"Like Greek mythology," Stella asked. "Greeks would make their heros into actual deities based on their heroic feats."
"Except those myths usually referred to demi gods not actual gods," Pam countered. "I think Raiden and Sachiko are probably more a genetic abnormality. Kinda like how some people are born as natural athletes."
"And I think Gail only started this discussion to avoid her makeover," Neela grinned. Gail now gulped, tucking her legs underneath her as she anxiously gazed around Stella's room. "No I didn't, I just umm thought it would be interesting to talk about."
The teens now giggled, slowly advancing on the auburn haired girl. Despite the teens penchant for academic discussions, they did enjoy more juvenile activities. This is how the four teens now found themselves in Stella's home for a sleepover. Stella's 14th birthday had been greeted excitedly by the four teens. After watching a movie the girls had returned to Stella home for a sleepover. Now dressed in their p.js they decided on making over Gail, until she had started talking about Raiden and Sachiko.
"Cmon Gail it won't be that bad," Neela stated.
"I don't see why I have to go first Neela," Gail protested. "Why don't you do your hair and nails first." Neela simply shook her head, casting a mischievous smile at her friend. "We drew straws Gail you lost," Neela giggled, holding up two garishly bright bottles of polish. "I go second. Now which color you like? Neon pink or Perfectly Purple?"
Gail bit her lip apprehensively, she really hated these makeovers. Far too many times her friends would paint her nails every color of the rainbow. Only a miracle could save her now. What she got though wasn't exactly divine intervention.
A blinding flash of light now illuminated Stella's room, the teens letting out a startled shriek. As their vision began to clear they gasped at the four individuals now standing in her room.
"Darren," Gail exclaimed. "What are you doing here?!"
Darren said nothing, anxiously looking around the room before blushing. "Akira used his mirror to get away," he said quickly, noting his teachers were dressed in pajama pants and shorts. "Umm sorry we ummm didn't mean to umm..."
"What happened to Abolith," Neela exclaimed jumping to her feet. The Indian teen leaping out of her slippers as she approached Fukushu.
Fukushu was quiet, holding the bleeding and barely conscious Abolith in his arms. "She needs medical attention," he said quietly. "I had the Catalyst bring us to someone who could help."
"Put her on my bed," Stella exclaimed as she tossed a robe on to cover herself. Fukushu did as she asked, laying Abolith on the teens bed as Neela began to examine her.
Aboliths injuries were severe, the teenage prodigy noting bullet wounds, bite marks, and blunt force trauma to the elf assassin. "Geez Abby what happened?"
"Can you help her," Fukushu asked.
"I don't know maybe," Neela stammered. "I mean I'm still in med school, I'm not a doctor yet!"
"Please," Fukushu pleaded. "She needs help and her wounds prevent magical healing." Neela fidgeted, she had no Idea where to begin. She had never worked in emergency medicine, that wouldn't begin until the summer. She wasn't sure exactly what to do.
"Neela," Abolith whispered, reaching up with a bloody hand the elf now gazed into the Indian teens eyes. "I trust you."
"Okay I'll do it, " Neela stated. "I'm going to need the proper tools. Also Abolith is probably going to need a blood transfusion." Fukushu now held out his arm, focusing his steely gaze on the girl.
"That won't work," Neela stated. "I need to know what Aboliths blood type is."
"My magic will allow our blood to match," Fukushu stated. "And the Catalyst can conjure anything you may need."
"Okay but what about Stella's parents," Pam stated. "I'm pretty sure they heard us scream. What happens if they come to check on us?" With a wave of his hand, Akira now cast a spell before answering. "I've cast a sleeping spell on anyone in the house that is not in this room," he said. "We should not have any interruptions from anyone."
Neela now took a deep breath, looking over Abolith before turning to her friends. "I'm gonna need everyone's help here," she said. "Can you act as my nurses while I try to fix Abolith?"
Stella, Gail, and Pam nodded, the three teenage prodigies rushing to Neelas side. As Darren now watchedhis teachers now try to help Abolith, he thought back on what had transpired over the last hour.
