*** Gee you guys have a good imagination. I'm not entirely sure why you
assume that the pills happen to be birth control ones but who ever heard of
someone just taking birth control pills and having to take three pills a
day, two evening pills, one morning. Well I won't give it away because you
guys are partially right but for the wrong reasons *sweatdrops* is that ALL
you think about. There is one thing I will tell you though is that the
character Lenore is based on me so some *hint hint* of the stuff I write
about Lenore is true. Anyway I'm gonna torture you cause you won't find out
exactly what's up with that in this chapter but I promise the juicy secret
will be revealed in the next chapter. I hope to be able to post a chapter a
day for this week except for Friday. Then I won't be able to post one until
Monday or Tuesday because I'm leaving for a camping trip on Friday. I just
thought I might let you know what my schedule will be. Well either way I'll
let you go on to the actual story now 0.o***
Chapter 12
*** Chichiri's and Tasuki's Conversation***
"Oh uh hello, may I speak to Tasuki?"
"It's me, Chichiri?" Tasuki questioned.
"Hai."
"This thing is funny. I can hear you but I know your not here."
"So is Reana kind to you, no da."
"She keeps calling me fang-boy. She stole my Tessen, and she keeps teasing me and then telling me she didn't mean any harm."
*in the background you hear Reana* "Oh fang-boy, is the telephone too hard for you to use?"
"See what I mean?" Tasuki responded with a deep growl in his voice.
"So I see you are having fun there, no da," Chichiri teased in turn.
"Yeah. I usually chase her around after she calls me that but I'm talking to you so I'll get her back later."
"Tasuki, do you like her?"
"She's a girl!"
"I know but answer my question, no da."
"*sigh* And what if I do?"
"So you like Reana," Chichiri stated instead of asking.
"We pretend we drive each other nuts, but its so much fun. If only I had my Tessen I could threaten her, he!" Tasuki spoke more to himself then to Chichiri.
"You still want to go back right?" Chiri asked, slightly nervous about the answer he would get.
"Hai, of course, if we can ever figure out how. So how are you fending with that Lenore?"
"I have to be honest with you Tasuki. I think... I think I love her," he admitted silently so those unwanted ears could not hear.
"NANI!!! Are you insane? How long have you known her?!?" he yelled, trying to knock some sense into his friend.
"I knew I shouldn't have told you, no da."
"Chichiri please be careful. She IS a girl," Tasuki said in concern for his friend. He knew his friend was serious about what he said though.
"I can take care of myself, no da."
"Still be careful."
*Reana in background again* "Oh fang-boy I need the phone hurry up!"
"I have a name you know!!!" Tasuki yelled at Reana, then spoke to Chichiri, "I think I have to get off of this thing now. The 'girl' is calling."
"I wouldn't want you to get on her bad side, no da. Goodbye Tasuki."
"Bye Chichiri."
Chichiri heard a click at the other end and then put the phone down the way it was before he had picked it up. ***Back in Lenore's world***
"Well I finished most of my homework," I said to my cat, to keep my sanity.
I looked at the rest of it and decided I didn't care to continue. I put all of my homework bag into my school bag while trying not to disturb the cat that was on my lap. I put my bag aside and pet my cat while pondering what the two men had said before about what they remembered.
I kept thinking about it. Then something just clicked together. Both times the book happened to be on that pedestal!
I quickly got up almost throwing my cat across the room in doing so. Fortunately I caught her and carried her with me as I ran into the kitchen and just happened to see Chichiri put down the phone.
"Chichiri!" I blurted, then saw him turn around.
"I think I figured it out Chichiri," I continued before he had a chance to react, "Both times you guys got transported here the book was on the pedestal. If we find the pedestal and put the book on it then we can get you guys back!"
I let it sink in for both Chichiri and me, and then it dawned on me.
"Wait why am I so excited I don't want you to leave," I moped.
"Lenore, your brilliant, no da. That must be it but how can we find the pedestal?"
"I could look it up online... Wait did you even listen to what I just said?"
"*sigh* I know you don't want me to leave, no da. But Tasuki still wants to and I still have responsibilities," he explained still undecided.
I pouted, dropped my cat on the floor then wrapped my arms around him, trying not to cry. This was the first decent guy I meet and he happens to come from ancient China, how warped is that?
I held him briefly, then let go. Maybe it was best to not get too involved with him. That would be hard though, and I wanted to be with him.
I turned away from him. I couldn't bare looking at him at the moment. I began to leave the kitchen when a hand was placed on my shoulder. It was firm, and wouldn't allow me to walk any farther.
"Lenore, if we are going to be together then we must be honest with each other, no da."
"I know," I said knowing what he was referring to.
"What are you hiding from me?"
*** Ooh I'm leaving you at a spicy moment he he. I am evil! As usual tell me what you think.***
