Ch 3: the psychic

Disclaimer: I don't like this little part of the story but I have to put it anyway.

Hey guys waz uppp!!!!… Well I need to make things clear first I forgot to clear up a few things, first the money. Even a crazy person would not blow up a brief case full of money. The money… you ready for this… was FAKE (gasp). Masao does have money so he counter fitted about 50 five-dollar bills and filled the rest with paper to look like it was full of money. Now Jake as I have been asked is American that moved to Japan when he was eleven and decided to stay. He met Masao when he was 20 and fell deeply in love. Alrighty now that I have that cleared up I just have to say thanks to my reviewer my single reviewer that has a heart. Sniffle lets start.

/start/

"Argg" Masao said as he groggily opened his eyes to find the morning light shining though the window between the curtains "where am I?" he asked sleepily. He looked around and realized he was in his bedroom alone. "Damn, I got to lay off eating right before bed." He said shaking his head.

-He gets out of the bed and gets some close out of the drawers and walks to the shower. He takes a shower and then gets dressed, puts his dirty clothes (which were laying on the floor) in the hamper and then looks at the clock that said 8:30 am. He walks into the kitchen.

"Morning" Jake says as Masao walks into the kitchen. Jake was sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee.

"Morning" Masao said walking to the coffee maker.

"You didn't sleep well last night huh? You were Kicking and screaming like the bloody Mary was after you. I tried to wake you but it didn't quiet work."

"Sorry" Masao said, I probably should have waited before I went to bed.

"Baaa" Jake said waving his hand "That old superstition is a lie, I ate more than you and slept like a baby, more or less" Jake chuckled slightly. "Something is bothering you. What's the matter Hon?" Jake said as he got up and put his hands on Masao's shoulders (ho was sitting across from him.)

"Nothing" Masao said slowly

"You now I think dreams have a hidden meaning to them, I also think they show you how you are feeling." Jake said

"Well then I don't want to know what I'm feeling it can't be any good." Masao sighed.

"You never know it actually might mean something good when deciphered."

"Oh ya?" Masao said as he rolled his eyes.

"Come on let me read your cards for you?" Jake said as he gently pulled Masao along

"No, no"

"Oh come on," Jake said

"Why?" because I wanna see what they will say." Jake said simply

"Their not real." Masao said softly

"Well then if their not real then you should have no problem doing it" Jake said with slight irritation.

"Fine" Masao sighed, "lets go"

-Jake pulled Masao into the living room and moved the rug from the floor. Then he walked over to a wooden chest that had symbols carved into it and opened it. He pulled out a velvet bag, candles, and their holders out then closed it. He then goes around the room closing all the curtains to make the room dark. He then placed the candles on their stands in a circle around Masao and himself. He then lit the candles with a lighter he pulled out of his pocket.

"Ok" Jakes said breathing deeply. He took the velvet bag and reached in to pull out a deck of cards. He then closed the cards in his hands closed his eyes and prayed. Masao watched in wonder thinking of how Jake can get so into this.

Tarot Masao thinks to himself this is sooo old but it still happens over and over again. Why??? Masao watches Jake then he notices something. What the? It was a flicker of light huh? The light seemed to be in Jakes hands. Then Jake opened his hands and it was gone, Jake opens his eyes and hands Masao the cards must have been a candle.

"This is what you do…" Jake started before Masao cut him off.

"I know what to do. I use my left hand to shuffle the cards on the floor in a clockwise motion. I do this while I am thinking my question" Masao said flatly then immediately regretted it.
"Hmmm… so you've done this before? You told me you didn't believe in this." Jake said with a slight irritation.

"Well…" Masao said sheepishly " I did go to a psychic a couple of times but what the cards apparently 'said' wasn't true."

"Hmmm," Jake said like he was thinking something over. "Well what you did last time will not happen like that. First you are going to cover the cards with your hands thinking and remembering the dream that you had, remember as much as you can. Then you will drop the cards and shuffle with your left hand thinking of your question think of the question of what your dream means. Then you will scoop them up and make four piles." Jake said then Masao put his hand over the cards and closed his eyes; Jake put his hands on Masao's knees and closed his eyes as well. Jake was going deep into Masao's mind secretly seeing what Masao sees (A/N: gasp). Soon the dream shows up and it's fuzzy at first then it began to get clearer and clearer. Soon Jake and Masao could see the dream as clear as they could see each other (with their eyes open).

/the dream/

"Why am I running?" Masao said to himself as he ran down a corridor.

'There is something following you' a voice said in his head 'and if you stop it will kill you.'

"What is that?" Masao said as he saw a dark 'thing' in front of him, He stops.

"Drip…drip" he heard something like water dripping into a bucket of water. Something wet was dripping onto his face. He looks up and screams. A scream so loud it would break a 2in. glass pane and still break the eardrums of the people past it, a face appeared out of the darkness. Eyes glowing red and white pointy teeth that seemed to sparkle with an inner light but had light drops of blood dripping from them. His face was the face of the devil himself but black. A sneer was on his face like he knew something that Masao didn't something evil something dreadful. And then he laughed, he laughed and evil laughed that would have stopped a waterfall in its tracks and froze his blood. Then he felt something brush up against his legs. Something wet and cold, he looks down and sees a dark crimson liquid, soon it had engulfed his entire feet and was tugging him down. Then the floor disappears and he fell into the metallic tasting liquid. 'Swim' Masao thinks to himself 'swim' he tries to move his arms and legs but they wont move. 'Can't breath' and slowly he sank down into the depth of the blood. Slowly he sank until everything went black, it was so dark you couldn't see your hand 2 in. from your face

"Thing you have committed, things you have done." A deep voice said, "Your punishment is death. A lonely death." The voice said as it laughed and grew fainter and fainter,

/ End dream/

Masao opened his eyes to find Jakes hands resting on his knees and breathing deeply. "Drop the cards," He said in a husky voice, and Masao did as he was told. He dropped the cards then shuffled them with his left hand. He shuffled for a good five minutes thinking of his question over and over again what does that dream mean. Finally he brought the cards together and separated them into four piles.

Jake reached down and reached for the first pile saying past" then flipped over the card "The 10 of wands, reversed: meaning strength, energy a desire to ruin happiness of others, a cleaver person." And reached for the second pile and said, "present…"

What the? How did that happen? Masao said as he stared in disbelief as the card said what his past was. And Jakes eyes are starting to glow. "…Death, upright: meaning transformation, making way for the new, unexpected change, loss failure, illness or death, bad luck." Jake said in an even emotionless voice.

Death? Masao said it couldn't be he though kind of scared.

Jake reaches for the third one and says "future, the wheel of fortune, reversed: meaning failure, bad luck, interruption, outside influences, bad fate, unexpected events." Jake said with the unemotional voice until he reached for the last pile "are you sure you want to see this one?" he asked with a hint of sorrow

"Yes" Masao said entranced in everything because it all seemed to be true.

"Fine…" Jake reaches down to pick it up but as he does he drops it saying "…ouch, " the card flutters to the ground landing in a sideways position in front of the deck it was just taken from.

"Here let me…" Masao said as he reached for the card.

"No don't" Jake said in his calm voice with a hint of curiosity "this is an interesting card this has never happened before never has it meant all things at once. The devil, sideways: meaning…" Jake paused closing his glowing eyes "… revenge, weird or strange experiences, downfall, unexpected failure, controversy, violence, disaster, an ill tempered person…" he stops to open his eyes. "…This may also mean divorce, release, handy caps are overcome, and or enlightenment. It could mean all or one, I am not sure." Jake said as his eyes were slowly losing their glow. Slowly he picked up all the cards and put them in the bag then he blew out the candles. He then put everything back into the box where he had gotten them.

Masao sits on the floor lost in though and says something as Jake reaches to open the window "I fear something bad is about to happen." He says.

"Jake turns around and walks over to Masao "I know" he says as he places his hands on his shoulders and sits. "I know".
