***Yet another chapter ^.^ Thanx again to all my reviewers and fans. I have
fans, hee hee. I feel so special!***
Chapter 8
I heard a knock on the door and rushed to it. It had to be Reana. I quickly unlocked and opened it and to my surprise it wasn't my friend at the door.
"Hi"
"Hello there ma'am."
"Its not ma'am, and what the hell do you want," I said very impatiently trying not to yell.
"Could you please fill out this survey for us. It's for a worthy cause," the man handed a pad of paper in my direction.
"And what cause is that?" I blurted.
"It's to see how much people make in a year and what they spend it on."
"How is that a worthy cause you greedy advertisement pigs! Go away and ask someone who cares I don't have time for this!" I was starting to loose my temper with the stranger.
Tasuki decided to get up and see what I was yelling at.
"Do you want me to get rid of him Lenore?" he whispered into my ear.
"Could you?" I responded out loud.
He nodded and I stepped back. I began walking back to where Chichiri was sitting quietly and confused, when I heard a distinct sound.
"Rekka Shin'en!"
I turned around just in time to see a charred man run away. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Thanks Tasuki. We need less of those and I have a feeling he'll never do that again. You didn't burn anything valuable did you?"
"No I have perfect control of what I flame," he responded arrogantly.
I walked back to the door to close it but before I could, a familiar face showed itself.
"Reana! Thank God you're here."
"So what was so urgent?" she asked as she stepped into my apartment and I closed the door behind her.
"Umm you know how we found chichiri and all... Well I found another one. They know each other and came from the same place."
"Oh...My...God..."
"Ya."
She peered around and noticed the new face.
"His name is Tasuki. I think it's safe to believe their story now."
Her jaw had dropped. She starred at him for a moment before reality was knocked back into her.
"Well at least he's cute!" she said louder than she should have.
Both Tasuki and Chichiri turned to each other and gave each other weird looks. I lead Reana into the living room where the two men had made themselves comfortable. I sat in my lazy-boy and turned it to face the couch Reana just stood to the right of me.
"Reana, Tasuki. Tasuki, Reana," I introduced.
"Hiya!" Reana said pleasantly.
"Hello," he responded.
"Ok now that we all know each other, we kind of have to figure out what we are going to do. I'll forget about homework for tonight so we have all the time in the world to make something work," I told the attentive audience, "Chichiri can stay here with me as planned but we gotta figure out what to do with Tasuki first. Them we can figure the rest out from there."
"Well if Tasuki doesn't mind he can stay with me. That'll solve that problem and I really don't mind," Reana responded helpfully.
"Anywhere is fine with me so long as I can get back to my time eventually."
"Thank you Reana that's great. This way we can teach them how to contact each other on the phone and we can meet every couple of days," I began, then whispered to Reana solely, "I warn you though take his fan away he's a pyromaniac."
"Ohh k. Gotcha. So that's why I saw a flamed man at the elevator. It all makes sense now."
"So one down and two to go. You guys both want to go back to your time right?"
"Hai," they responded simultaneously.
"So now we have to figure out how," I paused for several moments, "I really don't understand this whole thing, like how you got here, and how you can go back. You two will have to pool your memories and brains together to try and figure it out. I would also like to know about anything that might help you get back and I'm sure Reana would too," I looked at her for approval of that and she nodded, "This way the four of us might be able to think of something."
"I think that's good idea, no da."
"Ok and the last thing is Tasuki's clothing. I spent all my free money on Chichiri so I can't buy Tasuki any for quite some time."
There was a dead silence for about a minute before anyone answered.
"Oh, he can take some of my brothers old clothes. He has a lot that he doesn't wear anymore and they might fit him," Reana suggested.
"Good, great! Well that's all the brainstorming for tonight. I'm tired anyone want coffee?"
"Sure," Reana responded.
"Ano, no da?" Chichiri mumbled out of confusion.
Tasuki just had a funny look on his face and had his head cocked to the side.
"It's like tea only with more caffeine, er um, with a bigger boost of energy," I explained hoping they had tea in their time.
"I'll have some, no da."
"Me too!" Tasuki said, excitedly.
Reana and I walked into the kitchen together and soon after the other two followed. All the while that I made coffee I couldn't help but wonder how the heck we were going to get them back. But then I kept thinking it might be better if they stayed, but that would be selfish of me.
*** No fluff in this chapter but I promise there will be some in the next! Either way hope you enjoyed it!***
