"Taitsukun, I'm beginning to worry no da. Why can't we locate his chi?" Chichiri's voice rang through Taitsukun's
palace. It had been two days since Tasuki had disappeared and everyone was starting to panic. "I am sorry, but as of right
now, even I can not make out where he is at the moment." The god's voice bellowed.

Kelly sleepily smiled as the chirping of the gleeful birds brought her out of her peaceful slumber. She sat
up yawning. Her arms stretched themselves above her head and the blankets fell to her waist. She rubbed the sleep
out of her eyes and brushed out her soft, brown hair.
Kelly remembered what happened the night before vividly and turned her head to see Tasuki still asleep.
'Gosh. What's taking him so long to wake up?' She sighed in relief and finally realized that he was really here and she
wasn't dreaming. 'I'm so glad he's here. Finally. You are real aren't you' She gazed at him and stood up. She straightened
out her wrinkled pajamas and headed for the door. She turned the brass knob and closed the door quietly behind her.
'What time is it?' Kelly's eyes wandered to the clock that hung in the kitchen. '7:00? Mom's already left for work.
There's no doubt that Jacob's still asleep.' The whole apartment seemed eerily quiet for some reason, but she just ignored
it and found her way to the bathroom. Her hands fell upon the water faucet and she turned it on with ease. The water spouted
fruitfully from the pipe. The liquid started to warm up and she placed her hands under the running water. She smiled and let
the water cascade down her delicate palms, forming small rivulets in the creases of her hand. Her hands formed a small
cup and she splashed a handful of water onto her face. She smiled with relief and grabbed the nearest towel. She dried
off her face and exited the bathroom.
Kelly opened the blinds and immediately sheilded her eyes from the blinding sunlight. Her eyes soon adjusted
and she wandered into the kitchen. 'Hmmm. What should I eat? I'm starving. I could call Ashley over as soon as I'm done
eating. She would know what to do. But I'll call her later instead.' Two slices of white bread were popped into the toaster and she
opened the fridge. "Orange juice. Orange juice. Where are ya?" Her eyes searched through the chilled shelves but there
was no OJ in sight. So she settled for apple juice which was actually her favorite but she thought orange juice would have
made more sense, it being the morning and all. The tantalizing smell of toasted bread filled the air and her stomach growled
loudly. Her hands grasped the cabinet handle and she pulled out a rather large glass. The apple juice was unsparingly poured.
Kelly jumped when she heard the toast pop up. She handled them smoothly, being careful not to burn her hands. Butter
acompanied her bread and she ate hungrily.
"Mmm. That was tasty!" After she had finished her meal, Kelly plopped in front of the tv and pushed an OAV tape
into the VCR. Hours had passed and she glanced at the clock. "12:00! Time sure goes by fast! Better call Ashley now!" She
turned off the tv and reached for the phone. It rang twice and then Ashley answered "Hello?" "Ashley it's me!" Kelly spoke
into the phone. "Hey! What's up?" Ashley seemed happy that her friend had decided to call her. "Man, have I got a surprise!
Can you come over?" Kelly was rotting with anticipation to see if her best friend could make it to her house. "Yeah sure! Be
over in five minutes!" Ashley replied. "Okay. See ya soon! Ja!" Kelly was ecstatic. "Bye!" Ashley hung up as did Kelly. Kelly
straightened out the house and herself and impatiently waited for Ashley.
After what seemed like hours, the doorbell rang. Kelly practically flew from where she was sitting and raced to the door.
She opened the door without hesitation. Ashley stood in the doorway clad in Nuriko clothing from head to toe. Kelly perked up
her eyebrows "My aren't we festive today???" Ashley smiled and winked, "I just came from a convention, had to leave early though,
so that's why I still look like Nuriko." Kelly laughed and invited in the Nuriko look alike, violet hair and all. "So what's the surprise?"
Ashley pondered. "You're not gonna believe me, so I'm just going to show you okay?" Kelly led her friend to her bedroom door.
"Okay..." Ashley wasn't sure what to say. Kelly turned the doorknob and Ashley peered inside. Ashley closed her eyes and rubbed
them, then opened them again. She gaped at the still sleeping Tasuki and her eyes bulged at him. "HOLY CRAP!" Ashley shrieked
at the sudden information that entered her brain. She pointed her fingers in opposite directions "Tasuki....you....room. How.....
possible?"
"Shhhhh! My brothers still here!" Kelly waved her hands at Ashley's speechless face. "Sorry! But holy crap! How in the
world?" Ashley frowned when another thought entered her mind, "WHERE'S NURIKOOOO!" Kelly practically jumped "SHHHH!"
"Oopsy" Ashley put her hand over her mouth. "Come on.." Kelly invited Nuri..er... Ashley into her room and shut the door. Ashley
found a nearby ruler and started to poke at Tasuki like he was a lab experiment. She poked his face, his arm, even his stomach.
"How come Tasuki gets to come here and not Nuriko??" Ashley pouted and continued to poke Tasuki. He grumbled and moved
around. "I'm sure Nuriko is here somewhere. And stop poking him!" Kelly replied. Ashley's eyes became big and stars formed in
her eyes. Clasping her hands together she said "Reeaaalllyyy?????" Kelly just rolled her eyes and smiled at her Nuriko devoted
best friend. "I'm sure."
Ashley glanced at her surroundings and motioned to all the junk lying on the floor. "Man! I've never seen your room this messy.
You sure have gotten worse in your cleaning habits since last time!" Kelly grabbed a nearby pillow and threw it at her best friend, "Shut up!"
Ashley waved her hands in defeat, "Okay! Okay!" "Hmph!" Kelly jokingly stuck her nose in the air. They both laughed and giggled. Their
laughing ceased when they heard Tasuki start to move around. They froze, his eyes fluttered open and he sat up. His amber eyes peering
around. His eyes stopped when he noticed to girls staring at him intensely.
