About an hour later, the two girls sat in their new room, getting adjusted and unpacking what little they had.
Reya took off her soccer cleats and shin guards and put them neatly in a corner, then began to go through her bag.
Circe chuckled, taking weapon after weapon out of her Kendo bag and place them neatly on her bed. "You know, these might come in handy."
Reya sighed, shaking her head. "I'll pretend I didn't hear that." She muttered.
Circe grinned, taking her hair down and shaking it out. "So we're going shopping, huh? With who?" She asked.
Reya smiled, changing into her school clothes. "Well, the guys all thought it over and they decided that Cye and Sage have the best taste so they're taking us." She replied, buttoning her pleated skirt.
Circe's face dropped. "Oh yay. Best taste, huh? Could have fooled me…"
"Thanks." Sage replied nonchalantly, leaning in the doorway.
Circe rolled her eyes.
Reya blushed. "Uh… could you…"
Sage raised an eyebrow.
Circe smirked, brushing her bangs out of her eyes, and walked over to the door. "Take a hint, Sage." She said, turning him around and hitting his butt as she pushed him out.
+++++++++++++++++
Sage glared at her as she shut the door. He heard it lock and crossed his arms, leaning against the opposite wall, next to his and Rowen's room. "Bitch."
+++++++++++++++++
"Uh, Circe, you could have been a little nicer… they are paying for everything…" Reya reminded her, changing her shirt.
Circe began brushing her ebony hair out, rolling her eyes. "I'm sure he'll get over it." She muttered.
Reya laughed, shaking her head. "Really, Circe. One of these days you're gonna get what's coming to you." She warned playfully.
Circe began braiding her hair back, a wry smile on her face. "I doubt it."
+++++++++++++++++
As Kento, Ryo and Rowen finished explaining what happened and how the two foreigners came home with them, there was a small moment of silence.
Yuli giggled silently, rolling over on the ground, and Mia just burst out laughing.
"The waiter fainted?!" She cried, holding her stomach.
Rowen grinned, nodding. "Yeah. It was great."
"You should have seen the manager. He was turning red, yelling at Circe. I thought he might have a heart attack." Ryo added, running a hand through his hair.
Mia sighed, fanning herself. "Oh my… well, they can stay as long as they need to. But we still don't know how they got here." She said.
Kento cleared his throat. "Uh… they fell through a locker."
Mia blinked, exchanging looks with Yuli.
"Yeah. Reya told us that they were in a locker room and she had noticed something shiny in one of the lockers and went to pick it up." Kento began to explain.
Ryo nodded, going along with him. "But when she did, she somehow got pulled through and ended up in a tree, probably in the city park. Circe came right after her."
Mia sighed, rubbing her forehead. "That's really strange. The locker must have been some kind of dimensional portal or something…" She mused lightly.
Rowen smiled slightly, thinking about it. "Heh… dimensional lockers…"
Yuli giggled.
"But what was the shiny thing? Do you think maybe that's what caused them to skip dimensions?" Ryo asked.
Mia nodded. "It's possible. When they get back, try and get the details… maybe we can figure out what it was."
+++++++++++++++++
"I'm not wearing anything pink. And you can just *forget* dresses." Circe said, staring in distaste at the cute sundress Cye was holding up.
He sighed. "Right. Maybe Reya will like it." He said, and headed over to where the tawny haired girl was looking.
Sage snickered, and picked out a frilly, light purple thing. "Oh Circe… it's you." He held it up for her to see, shaking it slightly.
Circe glared at him. "I'm gonna shove that right up your-"
Reya cleared her throat loudly, getting their attention. "Uh… I hate to disrupt you two, but I thought that you might want to check some of this stuff out." She said, and showed them over to where she had been searching.
Circe's eyes lit up. "Sweat pants!"
Reya smacked her forehead. "That's not quite what I was talking about."
Sage smirked. "But it's probably the only thing she'll look good in."
Circe glared again, stepping towards him. "Ok, I can see we aren't going to be very good friends." She said quietly, pushing her sleeves up.
Reya stopped her friend, smiling nervously. "Come on, Circe, just drop it. Look at these pants…"
Cye glanced at Sage wearily. "Sage, man, do you have a death wish?" He asked quietly.
Sage rolled his eyes. "She's just… getting on my nerves…"
Cye gazed quizzically at him, crossing his arms. "Really…"
"Uh, excuse me, boys, but what do you think?" Reya asked, holding up a pair of blue boxers covered in fish.
Cye grinned. "I like them."
"You would." Sage muttered, rolling his eyes.
Reya stuck her tongue out at the blond. "Well, I like them too. So there."
"Hey Reya, I found some jeans." Circe announced tossing them to her.
Reya nodded. "Cool." She said, looking them over.
"Hey, I found some nice shirts back there. One of you want to take a look?" Cye asked, pointing with his thumb.
Reya nodded. "Sure. Just lead the way." She grinned.
Cye grinned, then glanced at Sage. "Hey, you two behave. I don't think the owners would appreciate blood on the merchandise." He admonished.
Circe gave him an innocent look that fooled nobody.
Sage rolled his eyes, leaning against the wall, and glanced at Circe. "We'll try."
Cye shook his head, and then he and Reya went to check out the shirts.
Circe scratched her head, taking a step back as her eyes searched over the materials. "Why is everything so bright?" She wondered out loud.
Sage peeked over at her with his one visible eye, smiling slightly. "To attract attention." He replied, amused.
Circe raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. "If it's that kind of attention they want, they might as well run around in their underwear." She mused.
"I'd rather they didn't." Sage murmured.
Circe smirked at him, her hands on her hips. "At least we can agree on something."
"Hey Circe, check it out!" Reya called over to her, shaking around a medieval styled shirt that tied in the front.
Circe raised her eyebrows, heading towards her. "Hey, that's not bad."
Cye smiled, showing her a different one. "I like the colors." He said.
Circe smirked. "It's all blue."
Cye nodded, grinning.
Reya laughed and Sage shook his head.
"Ok, I think you guys have enough stuff to try on. Let's head to the dressing rooms." Cye suggested, hanging the blue shirt back up.
The others nodded and they headed over to the rooms where an elder lady smiled brightly at them. "Trying on clothes?" She asked.
Reya smiled politely, glancing at the others.
Circe raised an eyebrow. "What'd she say?"
"Yes. Can you open some rooms for them?" Cye asked, ignoring the two.
"Sure. You pretty girls just follow me." The lady said.
The girls exchanged looks and shrugged, and followed the lady in.
Sage leaned by the mirrors while Cye sat in a chair to wait for them to finish.
The lady came back out and smiled at them. "What a nice thing to do, shopping with your girlfriends. Earning many brownie points, I bet." She teased.
Sage and Cye exchanged looks. "Uh…"
Cye didn't get to finish, however, as Reya came out and modeled a pair of jeans and a top. "So what'da ya think?" She asked.
The lady blinked, having a hard time understanding her.
"Looks good." Cye nodded.
The lady nodded too, although a bit confused. "Very lovely. It matches her eyes."
Reya didn't understand her, but it sounded nice so she smiled.
Circe cam out in a muscles shirt and dark green sweats she had picked out, smiling. "Comfort is a wonderful thing." She sighed.
Reya rolled her eyes. "Bum."
Circe gave her a look. "Why don't you try on the fish boxers next, Reya? Cye would just love to see them." She drawled, and then went back into the dressing rooms.
Sage snickered as Cye blushed slightly.
Reya sighed and followed the dark haired girl back in, shaking her head.
"You have very pretty girlfriends." The lady said, smiling.
Cye smiled nervously. "Uh… they're not our girlfriends. They're just… exchange students. We're helping them pick out clothing." He said.
The old lady smiled. "Oh. Well I bet you wish they were, eh? All those little looks you like to give the blond one." She teased.
Cye blushed. "Uh…"
Sage snickered quietly, looking away.
"How about this?" Circe asked, glancing in the mirror at herself.
Sage glanced her up and down. "It works." He murmured.
Cye smiled mischievously, glancing at Sage. "I think that was a compliment I heard." He said innocently.
Circe glanced back at him, then Sage, but didn't say anything.
Sage gave him a dirty look.
Reya came out in another outfit. "Ta da!"
Cye gave her a thumbs up. "Great. I think you both look nice." He said.
Reya grinned. "Thanks."
Circe rolled her eyes, and went back in.
This went on until the girls ran out of clothes to try on. They gathered what they wanted and paid for the clothes and left the department store, heading for the food court to get something to eat before they went home.
Cye nudged Sage lightly, whispering. "Remind me never to get married."
Sage grinned, chuckling.

Jou-chan's Notes:
Ah yet another chapter completed. Even though it already was… but hey, we're the authors, ne? If we want to delete the story and re-chapter it, we will!
Anyway, for some real notes:
Like I'm ever really gonna give *real* notes… er… heh… sorry…
Okay, seriously, Jou-chan's notes:
We made the chapters shorter cause we thought it made it easier for both you and us… you don't have to read so much and we don't have to write so much! Which equals-Happy reviewers/authors! Ha!
And that's just about all the math skills I have! *Does little dance* Go me… go me…
Also, I have recently found a great source of entertainment… no, not THAT… not that either… -_-;;; While Sage is good entertainment, that's certainly not what I was talking about. I'm talking about Role Playing Games (RPGs)… interested? E-mail me at Ni-chan@cfl.rr.com
And always, please review. For every review you give, you save some poor anime from starvation… so help the cause, and help yourself. REVIEW. Thank you for your time.
Cye's girl's notes:
Okay, is it just me, or did that sound really weird? Cye's girl's notes… right… So anyways…
I hope you guys enjoyed the not-so-new chapter, but like Jou-chan said, we're the authors! We thought the chapters were just waaaaaaay too long and decided to chop them in half.
As always, tell us what you think by reviewing! We love reviews!

"In a dark, shadowed hallway, three figures stood waiting. The room had an unnatural glow to it, and it was cold. An ornate throne stood before them, with golden twists and symbolic sketches decorating it. A person sat in it, silent and brooding."
"She threw… my sword… in the lake…"
"The guys just finished laughing at Kento's joke when Reya's scream pierced the air."
"Every dog must have her day."
