Chapter 6 They all sat around in a circle, the woods surrounding them. All the celestial warriors had their hands up as if in prayer. Caitlin, Kristin, Martha and Kailein all sat in the middle, awaiting for the image of two eyes which were known as Naiidoska. The warriors prayed, putting all their life force into the circle they had created, and then, darkness seemed to envelope them all, and two bright eyes like headlights appeared in the sky before. A dark, low voice was heard. "I am Naiidoska. What is it you wish for from me?" "Cheez its," the girls heard Nakago mumble. "I will give you a life-time supply of cheez-its but later. Now, what is it you really wish to know?" "We need a way back to our world," Hotohori said. "We must return with our Priestesses." Naiidoska paused, thinking. Then, he said with a laugh in his voice, "These aren't the girls Taiitskun had in mind, but I guess we'll leave her out of it." "Wait a minute," Hotohori said, and Kristin cringed. Please don't say her name, she thought. "These aren't the Priestess according to the Great Taiitskun?" "Believe me," Naiidoska said, "You don't want the ones Taiitskun picked. The Suzaku no miko will break your heart, and the Seiyru no miko is a bitch. Take these girls; believe me, you'll thank me in the end. As for your wish, all I need to see is Nakago do the Mexian Hat dance for me." Nakago coughed. "Excuse me?" "The Mexican Hat dance," Naiidoska said. "Or do you want to stay in this world forever with Andrew, the Lone Wolf Warrior and Phil, the Tuba Master? Come on, now then! Mexican Hat dance!" "I don't know what you're talking about!" Nakago growled. "I don't know nothing about a Mexican Hat dance!" "It's really simple, actually," Tomo said in his soft, sweet voice. He got up, and put his crown on the ground. "You just dance around the hat like so." And he did a demonstration dance, clapping his hands as he went. Nakago growled. "Would you do it for me?" Martha mused, as the girls all smiled widely at the chance of seeing Nakago do a Mexican Hat dance. Nakago growled and got to his feet. Then, he sulkingly made a dance around the crown of Tomo. "You can do it better than THAT." Nakago put on a wide smile and leaped around the crown. The end of his dance was met by wild applause from the girls and fifty hidden people in the trees. With a red face, Nakago plopped back down on the ground. "I better get cheez-its for this," he muttered. Naiidoska was still laughing. "Brilliant! Okay, I'll send you home now. Oh oh. she's coming. I can see her! Quick, hide?" "What?!" Kristin cried. "Why don't you just send us back quick?" But Naiidoska was gone. "Now what?" Caitlin cried. "We hide," Kristin said, getting to her feet. "From who?" Hotohori asked. But, it was too late. From the bushes emerged Katie, a bit dizzy from the tuba experience of Phil's. She smiled a big smile and cried out, "Hey! I want to join too! Where's Tamahome?" Everyone froze. She then noticed Nakago, screamed and ran away. "I don't have to follow her, do I?" Hotohori asked. "No," the girls choursed together. "Good."
