FD:Hi everybody!(Hello, Dr. Nick!) I've gotten together with my good friend, an authoress by the name of Shimoariku, to bring you a random story of randomness!

Shimo: And I hang around her? Oh well. This little story is just for fun. Keep an eye out since we have characters from all over the place. You'll understand in time, Grasshopper…

FD:Stuff in bold is mine, and italics are by Shimo-chan! Also, I have a big surprise for all of my regular readers and I shall explain at the end of the chapter.(Looks back and forth shiftily.)

Shimo: Don't ask… it will only hurt your brain. And for My regular readers… if I have any… this story will be in my favorites listing for easy access. Wait… that sounded better in my head… (runs around frantically pulling out her hair) GYAAAA!!!

FD: (sighs) We no own. You no sue. Roll it.

With a Little Help From My Friends

By: Fenrir's Daughter and Shimoariku

-----+-----

Kurt, Shimo, FD and Tsume were riding through rural China on a rickshaw, being pulled by Shimo's latest undead minion, a shinobi named Sasuke Uchiha.

It was quiet enough; besides the constant "Are we there yet?"'s from Tsume, the forest around them was fairly silent. But in the back of her mind, Shimo knew something was going to happen. As a Vampire, she had unquestionable tiger instincts. Indeed; something was gonna go down… something random…

"Be on guard," she said. In answer to their master, FD and Tsume bared their fangs, sniffing the air for possible enemies, and were rewarded with a scream and a loud explosion.

Plummeting from the sky was a person in a black tattered trenchcoat, their backpack in flames.

"Ooohh! Pretty," Sasuke said, shielding his eyes from the glare with one hand.

"Damn it Sasuke," Shimo said. "Don't stare at the light. It'll hurt your eyes."

"Ssorry Misstresssssssssssssssss," he said, bowing his head.

"You better be." Shimo just sat back after snapping Sasuke's reins to move the cart forward. FD, however, decided to go somewhere else.

Transforming into a wolf, FD jumped off into the afternoon, tracking the fallen… whatever it was. Finally, after a few minutes, she found a boy in a smoldering crater, huddled in a ball and breathing deeply.

She shifted back into her human form, stumbling down the side of the crater to him. She felt for a pulse and woke him up, smiling down at him.

"Uggh… What the—Who are you?" the startled boy asked looking around suspiciously. Oh great; he must have crashed.

"Fenrir's Daughter," she answered with a smile. " I don't really have a name, so everyone just calls me FD. You fell from the sky, man, but from the screams I thought you were a girl."

He turned a deep shade of scarlet, gathering up the remains of what FD now recognized as some sort of jetpack or other.

"Are you okay?" she inquired.

"Like you care!" he said in a huff, then muttered, "Like anyone cares."

"Cough—emo—cough…"

"Exsqueeze me?"

"Nothing!"

Suddenly, there was a bright flash and grey smoke, accompanied by a sulfur smell. When it subsided, Kurt was standing a few feet away holding a very ticked off Vampire.

"Damn it FD!" Shimo yelled making her way over to the ookami (1). "Don't do that again!" Her attention was caught by the boy with the fire truck red hair.

"…FD…" Kurt noticed the anime vein popping in Shimo's forehead.

"Shimo…" Kurt was a little too late.

"GOD DAMN IT ALL! FD, I said no more strays!"

"Aww, c'mon!" she said, throwing her arms around the boy protectively. "Pleeeeeeeease?"

"AUGH! Get it off! Get it off!"

Shimo rolled her eyes. "FD, let him go. Damn it, don't make me get the hose!"

She whimpered, loosening her grip on the boy as he scrambled away. His head finally clearing, the pale boy with the red hair got a good look at the other three in the crater with him, and in a moment hysteria felt strangely akin to Santa Claus when he realized he was in Halloween Town, with all the monsters staring down at him…

The girl who woke him up stood around 5'6"; she had brown eyes and glasses, and her dark brown hair was in messy braided pigtails. She wore black converse all stars, dark blue boot-cut jeans, a purple T-shirt with lime green stripes and leather bracelets with metal studs on both wrists. In addition to this, she now had pointed ears and a fluffy wolfbrush of a tail.

The person… or whatever… with the orange hair actually made him uneasy. She stood about 5'3", had all black clothes covered with a leather trenchcoat and black heeled boots. She was fingering her necklace with an indifferent look on her face. Her eyes were electric green with slits for pupils.

She couldn't be human; he knew this. She was creepy to say the least. But he couldn't help but stare at her. There was just something oddly attractive about her.

Shimo noticed him staring at her. More or less a little lower than her neck. She began to growl and the fuzzy dude glared in his direction. He took a few steps back in fear, not completely sure what was going to happen to him. All he knew was that glowing eyes were never a good sign. He should know; Wuya's eyes did that too.

Woah, rewind! —Fuzzy dude?! Indeed; there was what would have been a boy, were it not for the blue fur coating his body and long tail with a spade end. His legs were like that of a cat, only two toes each. Noticing his wild eyes, Kurt reached out to help the pale person up… with his three-fingered hand!

The boy yelped like a small dog in pain, trying to scale the wall of the crater, than finally crumpling into a shivering heap on the ground. FD sighed and strolled up to him.

"Are you done yet?" she asked with mock concern. The boy stood up casually and dusted himself off.

"Yeah," he said. "Sorry about that."

"So, um, what's your name?" the ookami asked, tilting her head in that cute manner of a confused dog.

"Jack Spicer, Evil Boy Genius!" he replied striking a Superman pose and smiling wickedly.

"Well, that explains the jetpack at least."

"Actually, it's a helibot."

"Like Inspector Gadget?!" she squealed excitedly.

"Ummm, no."

"Oh." There was an awkward silence. "Well, um, like I said I'm FD and that's my friend Shimoariku, we call her Shimo, and—"

The fuzzy blue dude cut her off.

"Kurt Wagner!" he said with a German accent. "But in ze great Munich Circus, I vas known as Nightcrawler!" He struck a manly pose. Shimo squealed and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, rubbing his back with her cheek.

"Eew! Emo love!" Jack twitched. Both Kurt and Shimo glared at him.

"Iam not eemo!" Kurt said.

Jack laughed. "Dude, that has to be the most emo haircut ever. And your girlfriend has the same haircut too!"

"Pfft! Zat's ze pot callink ze kettle black…" Shimo began to growl.

"Don't you mean 'blue'?"

"Leeson goss-boy—"

"Enough! Don't make me get the hose you two!" Shimo said holding Kurt back.

Kurt continued to wiggle in attempt to get at Jack. Alas, kyuuketsuki (2) have really strong grips. After a while, he finally gave up. As a reward, Shimo began to scratch behind his hears. Nightcrawler began to purr.

"Yeah, you don't want to mess with me!"

Shimo only rolled her eyes at the definitely emo redhead. She looked up at the sky to notice that it was getting dark. It was only then that she realized that she left the rickshaw with Tsume and Sasuke.

Without warning, she bounded from the crater in one giant leap and began running in the direction of the cart. Looking after her, FD, Jack and Kurt could only shrug. FD gave Kurt a nod, and the fuzzy blue elf grabbed their hands and, with a BAMF!, teleported them to the rickshaw.

Shimo: Yeah. Chapter one. Please don't hurt us… or sue. We have no money.

FD: Yeah! Oh, right; umm, Kurt is from X-MEN:Evolution, Tsume is from Wolf's Rain, and Sasuke is from Naruto. Jack Spicer...you know.

Shimo: Don't you mean 'Jacky-poo'?

FD: Actually, it's 'Jackie-kun'. OMG! The surprise! I will be awarding Mega FD Points for trivia and stuff later on. Once you get a certain number of points you can request for me to write a fic for you in almost any fandom, in absolutely ANY style. For this chapter: 50 Mega FD Points to any reviewer who knows my first name.

Ookami- Japanese for wolf. Here, it is used to describe a person with wolf ears and a tail (like neko). This term will be used throughout the fic for FD.

Kyuuketsuki- Japanese for vampire. This is as basic as it gets. This will be the term used for Shimo for most of the fic.
