Fushigi Yuugi: The Saga Continues Chapter 6: Detention and a Red Book

"Man, detention sucks." Sakura huffed.
"Yeah. It's a waste of a good two hours." Usagi sighed.
"Well, Ami looks like she's having fun." Hope chuckled. Ami was currently running between shelves, grabbing books and dropping them off at the table.
"What are you doing now?" Sakura asked.
"Getting books for the camping trip. You guys are still going, right?" Ami asked, dropping another load on the table.
"Of course. I have all my stuff right here." Hope said, patting a big bag by her side. "All I need for a week long trip. Flashlight, CD player, sleeping gear, clothes, swimsuit and so on. Oh! And my bow and arrows."
"Ditto. I'm bringing my CD player, too, among other things. I also have enough batteries to last a year." Usagi said, patting her bag.
" I'm also bringing my CD player." Sakura said glancing at the huge bag by her side.
"Let's see what I'm bringing. CD player, CDs, clothes, sleeping gear, collapsible fishing pole, soap, flashlight -jumbo size, sketchbook, pencils, oil pastels, color pencils, paper -lots of it, and erasers. And that's just some of it. I'm also bringing some mangas and textbooks. Oh! And my swimsuit." Ami said, rooting through a bag the size of a small night table.
"I thought you said to only bring the essentials." Hope said.
"I did. All of this is essential to my sanity." Ami argued.
"Too late." Sakura said under her breath.
Meanwhile, Usagi was going through Ami's stack of books. She came across an old looking book, red in color, with some Chinese writing on the front. "Hey, Ami?" She asked. "What's this book?"
"Hm? I don't remember getting this one." Ami said, looking at it. She stuffed the other books in her bag. The other girls grabbed their bags and crowded around Ami to get a look at the mysterious book. Ami but the book down and slung her bag onto her back, and then picked it up again.
"Why did you do that?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know, but I felt that I had to do it." Ami explained as best she could. The other girls looked questioningly at each other. Ami slowly opened the book. As the other girls began to went it, the book began to glow red.
"What the..." The four chorused, and a bright flash enveloped them. When the flash receded, they were gone.

A.N.: Kinda left you with a cliffy there. What happened to the girls? Find out in the next chapter of Fushigi Yuugi: the Saga Continues!
