Bishounen Studios - Ancient China

Jackie and Kristi walked upstairs looking for the ever ilusive box of books that Jake needed. They headed for the attic where most stuff was stored waiting to be unpacked. "Don't eat those cookies!" Kristi said suddenly. Jackie ignored her moving a large box from the top of the one labeled "Jake's Books."
The large boxed moved was now sitting on the floor but a closet had been revealed behind it. "There's a closet in the attic?" Jackie questioned. "It's a magical artifact!" Kristi exclaimed. Jackie ignored her sister again and walked into the closet. "It's empty... just wasted space..." she stated. Kristi walked in after her. "Ooh purdy." she said looking at one of the four walls.
Jake ran up the stairs as fast as he could. "I'm such an idiot!" he cursed himself "They're going to get themselves hurt if they--" Just then he opened the door to the attic seeing Kristi removing a piece of wood that had kept the door of the closet they had entered open thusfar.
"NOOOO!" he exclaimed as the door slammed shut closing the two girls in and a blinding light shone from underneath the door.

"What the?" Jackie asked herself noticing she was laying on the ground... outside. She heard a sniffing and sat up immediatly. Kristi was crawling around sniffing like a dog. "Kristi?" Jackie asked "What are you doing? Nevermind, I don't care. Where are we?"
Kristi jumped up and stood up all straight like. She pushed an imaginary pair of glasses up her nose before stating "I dunno." "Great." Jackie stated, standing up and looking around. She spotted a figure walking in the distance. When Jackie seemed to set her eyes on a certain object, Kristi turned to see what was so interesting and smiled "So, there is life on this planet, muaha."
"We haven't left the planet!" Jackie shrieked, before turning back to the aformentioned figure. "Hello!? Little help here!" she said running towards the figure. "All systems are loaded! Wee!" Kristi said running after her.
Jackie suddenly tripped rolling down an incline and slamming into an unfortunate person's feet, sending the both of them tumbling down. Kristi skipped happily over and "accidentally" fell on top.
"I'm sorry," Jackie stated "but could you kindly get off me." "Ow, no da." the figure stated... which happened to be a figure with blue hair and an unnaturally happy expression for this situation. "Chichiri!" Kristi exclaimed coming to a realization. "Chichiwhat?" Jackie asked, suddenly reminded of Pokemon.
"Magically cute monk of meh dreams, I love thee!" Kristi exclaimed wrapping her arms around what she thought might be Chichiri, but was actually Jackie's leg. "My leg isn't a monk." Jackie stated. "Oi" Kristi unhugged her sister's legs and sat up on top of what was the poor sweet monk's back, "accidentally" leaning foward, with her hands placed on his bum for support.
"Can you let me up, no da?" Chichiri asked, blinking at Jackie whom he was uncomfortably nose to nose with. Kristi rolled off of Chichiri and 'Oofed' when she hit the ground. Chichiri got up brushing himself off and offered Jackie a hand.
"Thanks." Jackie said allowing him to help her up "Sorry again." Kristi raised a brow looking up at the two before standing up herself and dusting off. "So... where is he?" she asked suddenly seeming anxious to get answers out of this guy.
"Where is who?" Chichiri asked. Kristi just started jumping up and down "Himuhmuhmuhmuh!" she exclaimed. Jackie, ignoring her sister, asked "Where are we?" Chichiri looked at the girls, their clothes were... they must have been from Miaka's world! "We're on Mt. Reikaku!" Kristi exclaimed noting the surroundings.
Chichiri blinked at the two. "You know that, no da?" he asked, maybe he had been wrong. "Of course I know! I'm his biggest fan!" Kristi exclaimed angrily. "Um, excuse me. She may know where we are but I certainly don't." Jackie stated.
"Maybe they are from Miaka's world." Chichiri thought "Had they read the book?" "Could you tell me how to get back to Bishounen Studios?" Jackie asked. "They are deffinatly from Miaka's world." Chichiri decided. "I don't know where that is, no da." he stated.
"Where is him?" Kristi asked looking around. "Him, no da?" Chichiri raised a brow. "Yes! Him!" Kristi exclaimed. Jackie looked at Kristi. "There are millions of hims in the world, you have to tell him which one." she said sympathetically.
"Tasuki!! But he knew that already!" Kristi said to Jackie. "Tasuki?" Chichiri asked "I'm just leaving from visiting him." "I want to go see Tasuki" Kristi pouted looking at the ground. "Where are you from, no da?" Chichiri asked. "Bishounen Studios." Jackie stated "Located in the middle of nowhere."
Kristi sighed "Just think of it as... we're from Miaka's world, just a different... kind of Miaka's world. Or something equally as... thoughtless." Kristi crossed her eyes and sniffed the air. "You read the book?" Chichiri asked.
"Nonononono, I saw the anime." Kristi explained. Chichiri just raised a brow. "Oh, I mean.. no, we don't know how we got here." Kristi said. "What book and who is Miaka?" Jackie asked, beginning to get confused... which she did not like.
"The Universe of the Four Gods, and the Suzaku no Miko." Kristi rolled her eyes "Duuh." "You learned this from... anime? What is anime, no da?" Chichiri asked. "Forget I said that... I just... I'm just... I just know, okay! My brain hurts enough already, just please take me to Tasuki!" Kristi whined.
"Could someone please make sense!?" Jackie questioned, her confusion getting the best of her. She turned to Chichiri knowing she would never get a decent answer from her sister. "Where are we?" she asked. Chichiri turned to the girl feeling somewhat sorry for her. "Mt. Reikaku." he explained "In China, no da."
"Ancient China." Kristi stated. "Ancient China?" Jackie asked. "Yep." Kristi stated. Jackie sat on the ground, suddenly silent as if trying to soak all this information in. "I can't leave them alone out here if they're from Miaka's world." Chichiri thought.
"Uh... you don't have to worry, no da." Chichiri stated. "I'm not worried!" Kristi stated clinging onto Chichiri. "I'm just a tad beyond worry right now." Jackie stated. "Chichiri can help us!" Kristi exclaimed "Tasuki too! Right Chiri?" Chichiri nodded. "Oh you actually will! I love you." Kristi stated clinging tighter.
"Let's go!" Kristi said jumping onto Chichiri's back. Chichiri huffed but walked along carring Kristi on his back. Jackie lagged behind a bit trying to figure out where she had heard the name "Tasuki" before.
"I'm tired of walking." Kristi stated. "I'm the one doing all the walking, no da." Chichiri stated. "Yea, but I'm tired of you walking. Are we there yet?" Kristi asked. "No." Chichiri answered. "Are we there yet?" Kristi asked. "No." Chichiri answered. "How about now?" Kristi asked. "For Sazuku's sake child, we are not there yet." Chichiri fussed.
Jackie continued thinking to herself "Tasuki is that guy Kristi likes from...... Fushigi Yuugi! Yea, that's it. She has a wallscroll of him over her bed. He's the redheaded ba...ba... ban" "Bandit!" Jackie suddenly yelled outloud. She would have continued lecturing about taking help from a criminal but the three travelers were suddenly surrounded.
Kristi hopped off of Chichiri's back and started doing a happy dance while Jackie promptly clung to him. "Kouji!" Chichiri stated. "KOUJI!" Kristi yelled even louder. "Kouji?" Jackie questioned.
"Chichiri? Ya back again?" Kouji asked, the other men disconcerning themselves and moving on. "Something came up, no da." Chichiri stated "I need to see Tasuki again." Kouji looked at the two girls. "Who 'er they?" he asked gesturing to them. "They came up." Chichiri stated.
"Ah." Kouji said "Genrou is up at the cabin." Chichiri nodded his thanks and was about to move on, but couldn't due to a clinging girl. "Uh... could you let go, no da?" he asked. Jackie was clung onto him with her eyes shut as if she was expecting to be attacked. Chichiri poked her a few times and she snapped out of it, noting the danger was over she slid away from Chichiri as if it had never happened.
"Now we can g--" Chichiri stopped mid-sentence noting Kristi's hold on Kouji. Kouji sweatdropped. "Chiri get 'er off meh." he stated. "Let's go see Tasuki, no da." Chichiri stated. Kristi was off Kouji in a flash. "On the road again!" she said as she happily followed Chichiri.

"Tasuki is a bandit." Jackie stated. "Yep" Kristi said with a smile. "Then why are we asking him for help?" Jackie asked "Bandits equal criminals and criminals equal bad... or did you not know this." Kristi glared at Jackie. "Tasuki happens to not only be one of the Suzaku Seven peoples, but he also is a very kind at heart person, who would probably do anything if Chichiri asked him to." Kristi smiled at yaoi thoughts. Jackie blinked. "Yea... sure." she said.
Chichiri walked ahead of the two barely keeping himself from laughing at them. "Not only that, he's an overly cute guy.. He's so unessessarily cute, he could supply the world with his cuteness. And.. and.. He could *so* beat up Scott." Kristi crossed her arms and glared at Jackie again... just because she could.
This time Chichiri did laugh. "What's so funnnnnnnay?" Kristi asked "I want to knowww." "Nothing." Chichiri stated "We're there." Sure enough during the argument the three had arrived at an old cabin... and Kristi hadn't had anytime to ask if they were there yet. "Are we there yet?" she asked, just for the heck of it.
Jackie frowned at Kristi. Kristi shrugged "I needed to say that." she said before jumping on Chichiri's shoulders. "Must see Tasuki!" she exclaimed. Chichiri sweatdropped. "Why do you wanna see Tasuki so bad, no da?" he asked. Kristi grinned at the oppurtunity to talk. "Tasuki is the most coolest person in anime, he could blind a girl with his beauty, and he could kill a girl with his looks. Yup.. yup... somethin' like that.. Plus, Jake *won't* ever let us interview him.. he says that there's to much work to be done before we start interviewing the fushigi yuugi cast.. But I think we get to soon anyway, so basically--"
"Who's there?" Tasuki's voice came through the door they were in front of. "Your love, no da." Kristi said doing her impression of Chichiri. Chichiri and Jackie sweatdropped. "Um... It's me again, no da." Chichiri stated. Tasuki burped loudly before opening the door, Kristi promptly fainted. "Chichiri, couldn't stay away huh? What ya ferget somethin'?" Tasuki asked, not seeming to notice the girls next to him.
Jackie was vainly trying to keep her sister from hitting the ground. "Uh... little help here, she's not as light as she looks, ya know." she stated. Chichiri took Kristi up in his arms and looked back at Tasuki. "Actually, this girl was begging to see you, no da. I'm not sure where they came from." he replied "Miaka's time I suppose, no da."
Jackie blinked. "Don't ask me." she stated. "Well I can tell ya why she wanted to see me, who wouldn't?" Tasuki said flexing. "This is serious, no da!" Chichiri fussed. "Right, right" Tasuki said scratching his neck "Ya can c'mon in, I don't s'pose you wanna stand out here all day" Tasuki said, mostly to Chichiri.
Chichiri nodded and walked in carrying Kristi. Tasuki blinked at Jackie. "Ya gunna stand out here all day?" he asked. Jackie shook her head quickly and walked in. Tasuki closed the door and looked back at Chichiri "So?" he asked.
"So." Chichiri stated "I think we should try and help get them back to their time, no da." Chichiri explained, placing Kristi on a mat that was on the floor. "What!?" Tasuki asked. "What's it our business for?" Tasuki asked sitting on the floor. Kristi woke up "wethereyetburptasukifaint" Kristi chanted before looking around. She set her eyes on Tasuki and smiled "Tasuki!" she yelled excitedly clinging to him.
"Uh... Yo." he said sweatdropping. "So." Jackie said, finally getting back in this "How are you guys going to help?" Tasuki crossed his arms "We ain't gunna help! I am not gunna get mixed up with girls again." he explained. "See." Jackie stated "I told you there was no use asking help from a bandit."
"What'd you say!" Tasuki exclaimed jumping to his feet, knocking Kristi off him in the process. Kristi narrowed her eyes "Mine" she said glomping onto him."Could ya get off meh for a sec I'm tryin' ta look angry here." Tasuki stated. Kristi frowned "No! You're angry, we know it, now love meh!" she exclaimed holding him tighter.
"Save me!" Jackie said clinging onto Chichiri. "We gotta help them, no da!" Chichiri argued with Tasuki. "No way!" Tasuki said trying to pry Kristi off of him. "Tasuki!" Chichiri said, sounding angry. Kristi unclinged from Tasuki and handed him a coke. "Take a breather." she said sympathetically. Tasuki just raised a brow at her.
"We don't need your help anyway." Jackie said angrily walking towards the door. "Ai!" Chichiri exclaimed grabbing her. He turned back to Tasuki. "We can't let them go out there alone, no da. They'll get killed." he stated. "That's right! You know, I thought you were a brave hero.. guy... but you're just a coward!" Kristi said all Disney like.
Tasuki, Chichiri, and Jackie sweatdropped at the Disneyness. In Kristinese! "I mean, I thought you were cool! But your just uncool!" Kristi said crossing her arms over her chest. Tasuki, Chichiri, and Jackie all nodded and said "Ohh." Tasuki shook his head. "Hey!" he yelled.
"Well..." Kristi stated "That's what I think." "It's not like we know how ta help ya anyway." Tasuki argued. "Well, can't you try?" Kristi asked, complete with puppy eyes. Tasuki frowned at her. "Fine." he said giving up. "Hurray! That's exactly why I love you, you're just so cool and cute and I love you so much because your so cool and cute and I love you and you even smell nice, and you're stomach is like a pillow." Kristi said rubbing aforesaid stomach.
"Really? I mean, stop that." Tasuki said swatting her hands away from his midsection. Chichiri sweatdropped as Jackie continued her stride towards the door not getting anywhere due to his hold on her shirt. "He said he'd help, no da." Chichiri stated. Jackie stopped. "Oh." she stated "Well I still don't like you." Tasuki growled and Jackie clung onto Chichiri again.

A few minutes later the confrontations had been resolved and they now sat around a small table pondering how to get Jackie and Kristi back to their time.
