Ok this time I'm writting my A&N thingy before we start. Just a warning, this chapter is REALLY boring, this was one of those chapters that set things up for the future, yet it really sucks. Again if you have ANY story ideas, please help me out...but of course if they're compleatly insane then they probably wont be in there...yet usually I'm cool with any idea. So no flames because this chapter sucks.
I do not own these characters, (some of them yes) nor do I own Yuu Watase's book series. But this guy had to learn his lesson, didn't we? holds the tied up laywer who claimed to own the characters last chapter...other laywers who helped tie him up stare Hmmmm...Gets on knees and starts to poke tied up laywer, the other laywers shrug and start to poke him HEY, YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT IF YOU GIVE ME PACK MY POINTY DEATH DEFYING STICK!...Sniff They stole my pointy stick.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Limdo slowly opened his eyes, wondering where he was for a second. Then yesterdays past events flooded into his memory bank. He smirked knowing now that he had an excuse to follow Takiko around…but he couldn't go to school as a GUY. Somehow he and Takiko would have to figure out a way.
He inhaled deeply…but paused. Something or someone really small was on his chest. He slowly looked to see the 'thing' that had made its home in his chest. All he saw was a great big hairy thing.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Takiko had been flipping the channels and eating cereal when she heard Limdo yell, "DEMON!!!!" and then a screech that sounded like a cat. Crap, she forgot to tell him about puss.
She jumped up from her chair and ran down the hall, yelling, "DON'T YOU DARE HURT PUSS LIMDO!" she threw open the door to see Limdo holding the cat up by his fur, which the cat didn't take to kindly.
She snatched the cat from Limdo's grasp and started hugging it. "Its ok puss, don't worry, the mean man won't hurt you anymore." She cooed, causing Limdo to growl in annoyance.
"Why did you get a cat when you have me?" Limdo asked, folding his arms and pouting.
"Because one; at the time I got puss, you weren't around. Two; you don't like to feel owned." Takiko pointed out as she left the room. Limdo followed saying, "Yea you have a point…AND WHY AREN'T YOU IN BED?!"
"Because now I'm on the couch." Takiko flopped herself onto the couch and started flipping channels again. Limdo sighed and sat down in the chair on the other side of the room, staring at the TV screen. If that's how she was going to act, fine! Two could play at that game.
After a couple of minutes of channel flipping, Limdo yelled, "WOULD YOU PICK A CHANNEL?!" Takiko stopped at a movie channel. "There I stopped. Gosh, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed."
"I was on the right side till I saw that cat on my chest." Limdo growled.
"Well you didn't put puss in my room. When I forget to put him in my room, he usually sleeps in the room your staying in."
"Excuse me, I was supposed to put the cat in your room?!"
"Well you did force me into my room and then stay outside my doorway till I fell asleep, so yes, you were."
"So now the cat's more important?"
"I NEVER SAID THAT"
RING! "NOW WHAT?!"
"LIMDO THAT'S THE PHONE…DON'T KILL THE PHONE!!!"
Limdo picked up the phone and practically screamed hello into it. "Gosh Limdo, I go through the trouble to keep your identity a secret from the government, and you repay me by yelling?" Asked a voice over the phone.
Limdo calmed down a bit. "Oh its you Hikitsu…" that's all he got to say before the phone was snatched away from him.
"Hey Hikitsu, its Takiko! How have you been?" Takiko squealed into the phone. "I've been fine your eminence. Right now you have your own health to think about." Hikitsu stayed calm.
"I know…Hikitsu take a break from whatever you're doing…" Takiko pushed Limdo off of her, for he had jumped on her to try to get the phone back, "…and pick up Tomite….LIMDO GET OFF OF ME!!!"
"Alright I'll try…and what are you two DOING over there?"
"Limdo's just trying to get the phone back, GET YOUR OWN CELL PHONE!" Takiko pushed Limdo off again.
Takiko hung up and Limdo sat down on his chair again, grumbling something about possessive woman. "Limdo you practically tear the head off of any guy who even checks me out." Takiko pointed out.
They sat in silence again and watched the TV. "Takiko?" Limdo spoke up during a commercial.
Takiko muted the TV and looked him in the eyes. "I'm sorry for the way I've been acting…I just don't like waking up to find a cat on my chest." Limdo finished, blushing. Takiko smiled. "I know, that's why I wasn't angry."
"Could…could I sit with you?" HE asked. Takiko made room for him and he jumped next to her. They watched as the next movie started to play. "OH, it's Pirates of the Caribbean!" Takiko squealed.
They watched the screen silently…almost. Limdo kept asking questions like, "How'd they do that?" or, "Why is that ship on fire?" after a while, Takiko just told him it was magic.
After about an hour, which by that time, Limdo kept pointing to Captain Barbossa and saying, "I could totally beat that Guy." to which Takiko would reply, "I know, I heard you the past twenty times."
Anyhow, about an hour later, the phone rang again, and this time it was Rick from the desk downstairs. "Takiko these three guys claim to know you…one is called Hikitsu, another is called Tomite, and the last calls him Soren. Do I send them up?" Rick asked over the phone line.
"SOREN'S HERE TOO?! SEND THEM UP NOW!" she immediately regretted yelling, for her head started to hurt again. She hung up the phone and rubbed her temples. Limdo noticing this placed a hand on her forehead again. "Takiko, are you sure you shouldn't get more rest? You still have a bit of a fever…" he started to rub her back.
"I'm fine Limdo this is nothing." She smiled at him sheepishly.
The elevator door opened to reveal three men. One had short black hair with brown eyes. He had his right arm in a sling and he wore a black t-shirt and blue Levi's
There was a blonde next to him. He had an eye patch over his right eye and he wore a dark green shirt with baggy black jeans. He obviously didn't care he looked layed back.
And the last one had long black hair and almost black eyes. He wore black sweats with a black hoodie. He must've been running before he dropped by.
"SOREN, HIKITSU AND TOMITE!" Takiko jumped from the couch ignoring the pain. She hugged each of them and pulled them over onto chairs. They talked about what they'd been doing since arriving here in Takiko's world. Apparently Hikitsu became an top FBI agent (Even higher than Kay was apparently) Soren was at the moment working as a waiter for a local coffee shop. Tomite was just a lazy butt, and no the job didn't pay. Though he claimed he should be paid for it.
They were silent for a couple seconds. "Hey Takiko, did you ever…use that third wish?" Tomite asked. The other three men looked at Takiko expectantly. Takiko paled, knowing that if she told them, they'd want more details. And she didn't want them to know the details, especially Limdo. If he found out…he'd never let her out of his sight. Of course that wasn't a bad thing; it was just that it would feel weird to tell him. Plus, it happened two years ago.
She looked away from them and nodded, knowing she couldn't exactly lie. "Well what did you wish for?" Limdo asked impatiently after a couple of minutes of complete silence.
Great, the question she dreaded came up. She had to make an excuse up fast, like she'd been doing for the past couple years. Like when people asked her how she ended up on the shores of California half dead. She told everybody she'd been on a boat trip with her family and the boat wrecked and she was the only one left alive. And they believed her. But she wasn't sure if she could out fool Limdo, for he knew her better than anyone.
She sighed deciding not to lie to him, but instead told them, "You know, I really don't feel like talking about that right now." Limdo seemed like he was about to object, but Soren stopped him. "That's alright Takiko, but remembers you can tell us anything." Takiko nodded, instantly feeling a sick feeling in her stomach. The look Limdo gave her seemed heart breaking. He really wanted to know, he cared that much. And what was worse?
She couldn't tell him how her father was killed because of her wish.
The elevator doors opened, and Takiko knew immediately who it was. She turned to greet her friends, knowing why they came here. Yet…she didn't know why Takara was with them.
"Hey Elie, Lex, Kay…and hello Takara…I didn't expect to see you here…"
The girls looked around Takiko at the men sitting on the couch. They paled at the sight of Limdo/Aya.
"Takiko we need to talk….we all need to know what is going on, and you're not going to hide the truth from us this time." Elie pulled Takiko to the couch…she made sure Takiko was in-between Limdo and the other girls.
Takiko looked at each girl in the face. They all wanted to know, even Takara.
Takiko sighed, knowing she couldn't get out of this situation either.
"Ok, but you have to believe me when I tell you this." Takiko started, looking to Limdo for support. He smiled, encouraging her to press on. She wasn't worried about the information she would have to leak out. Limdo and the others knew they were originally character in the book.
"I don't come from this time period. I lived most of my life just before world war two." There was a stunned silence. The boy's didn't know this either.
"My father was not only a professor…but a writer as well. He heard of an ancient Chinese scroll titled The Universe of the Four Gods. The scroll was said to bestow the powers of the heroine to the reader. At the time, my mother had been deathly ill. My father instead of staying by her side, decided to leave us for a year to translate the scroll. The day after he returned…my mother died. As we prepared for her funeral, my father continued to write the Universe of the Four Gods in his study. I got upset and grabbed the book from him. We got into an argument, and when I tried to destroy the book, I ended up being…sucked in." Takiko drew a breath before continuing the story of how she met Limdo and Tomite.
She told the story of how she became the priestess of Genbu, and how she then learned how dangerous her journey would be after their first battle. She told of how she came to meet a boy named Hatsui, and the attack from the assassin Hagus. She told of Limdo's past (which he didn't mind for it was way in the past) and she then told of lady Analu and her meeting with Namame. She told all of this and more, the whole story. By the time she'd finished it was three hours later, and none of them had said a word.
"That…is unbelievable I'll give you that much." Lex finally spoke up. Takiko nodded. "Have you not looked at us? We're practically not normal!" Tomite laughed (Lex and Kay were hanging all over him). "Practically is not a word I'd use." Elie muttered. Limdo smirked and changed into Aya. "Does this get you to believe us?" He asked. The girls (except Takara who only blushed) yelled yes.
Limdo laughed and changed into male form. "So…you didn't get here by a ship wreck?" Lex asked. Takiko slowly shook her head. The girls looked at her expectantly. "I don't like talking about that." Takiko muttered as she leaned against Limdo. Kay and Lex had that greedy look in their eyes. A little bit of drool too.
"So you guys are a couple?" Kay asked, smirking. The two nodded. "How far have you guys gone?"
Limdo almost choked, and Takiko had to start patting his back. "W-what did you say?" Limdo managed to get out. Kay was about to answer, but Takiko interrupted. "Kay our relationship isn't about making out 24/7, it's deeper than that…and not in that way." Kay let out a disappointed sigh. "Have you guys even made out?" Lex asked, since it seemed Kay was too disappointed to speak. The two blushed and looked away. "You haven't, have you?" Kay shrieked. She could shriek loud.
"Once again, it's not all about making out!" Limdo yelled over the shrieking banshees.
"Takiko, may I use your bathroom?" Takara asked over the yelling. This was the random question of the day. "Uhuh it's down the hall and to the right…why are you wearing a long sleeved shirt and a ton of make up?" Takiko asked, now noticing something was odd about the way Takara had dressed in the middle of summer. "I-I have a cold…" Takara tried to get away, but surprisingly Hikitsu was the one to follow her, since Limdo wouldn't let Takiko, and Tomite happened to be caught in the grasp of two women.
Hikitsu waited outside the bathroom door, waiting for Takara. But Takara knew Hikitsu was waiting to press an answer out of her. So she acted.
Hikitsu could identify couching and sneezing inside the bathroom. "Hey are you ok?" He knocked on the wood door. "Yea." Takara wheezed from inside.
"Ok." The door opened and Takara stepped out. For the first time, their eyes met. (Or eye, depending on how you look at it)
His Eye made her face turn cherry red, and sweat started to pour down her face, her fragile heart pitter pattered like crazy.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Hikitsu asked again. Takara nodded before pushing past him ad towards where the others were, leaving Hikitsu stranded in the hallway.
