I do not own these characters; they belong to their respective owners. Keeren belongs to me and Missy and Teri belong to Missy and Teri.
This is a re-written version of the original version I wrote in the summer of 2002, it sucked royal ass, so I'm re-writing it! Enjoy!

Chapter 7
Teri coughed into her hand as she stumbled back to the house. She wavered in and out of her straight line towards the door like a drunken bandit. She opened up her palm and gazed down at it as she walked. Specks of blood littered her dirty glove. Around her the yard was dark, not even the backyard light was lit. Just a few more feet.
With a struggle, she finally pushed the sliding glass door open and staggered into the kitchen. She winced at the bright light from over the sink. Her stomach ripped with pain as her jaw was incredibly sore. Her left leg felt broken and she was sure she lost at least two teeth. Hopefully they'd grow back someday.
She was halfway through the kitchen when her legs suddenly collapsed. She fell to her knees and with a cry of pain to her face. The light suddenly turned on in the room, Teri not caring she was in so much pain. Gentle hands suddenly took a soft hold of her shoulders and lifted her from the ground. A moment later she found herself sitting on the dining table. Teri looked up to find the concerned face of Chichiri, mask off. She couldn't help note how extremely beautiful he was.
"Teri-chan? Are you okay?" The monk asked, pushing a lock of her chocolate hair away from her emerald eyes. Teri tried to take a casual position and nod, but the shifting of her weight displaced a broken rib. She suddenly grasped her side and moaned painfully. Damn her irish pride.
"Obviously not." Chichiri sighed. "Let me get you into bed. I'll get Missy- chan to heal you."
Teri nodded lightly and Chichiri carefully lifted her into his arms. He was so warm and cozy. She was tempted to lean into him and rest. Temptation won her over.
Chichiri stopped in mid step and looked down at her. She was sleeping in his shoulder. He smiled and began descending the stairs again. He got to her bedroom and gently laid her down into her bed. She winced slightly before shifting into a comfortable position. Chichiri smiled again at her relaxed expression.
Swiftly and silently, he bent down and placed a tender kiss on her cheek. He pulled up and gazed down at her for a moment for before left to go retrieve the healer Saiya-jin.

Keeren stepped into the kitchen with a quiet yawn. She observed the room to find Melissa and Nuriko sitting at the table, chatting softly. She waved to the two as she prepared a breakfast for herself.
"Morning Kee-chan" Melissa said over a mug of rich coffee. Keeren nodded in return. After pouring herself a bowl of cereal, the Saiya-jin sat herself down across from the two other females.
"What was up with Teri last night?" Keeren asked, looking towards Melissa. The healer set her coffee down on the table and sighed.
"She.... uh... trained too hard." Melissa said simply.
"That hard?" Keeren arched an eyebrow. "I've known her to do some really stupid things but isn't she smart enough to know when enough is enough?"
"She is. But I'm guessing that this thing that's happened between her and Legolas fucked with her sanity a bit."
"More than it already has?" Nuriko inquired, her lips curling into a foolish smirk.
"Shut up Nuriko." Melissa snapped at the Suzaku Seishi. Nuriko blinked and eased back lightly. Melissa took a sip of her coffee once more and continued.
"This isn't good at all. If she keeps this up she'll very well kill herself trying t' get stronger."
"Maybe we should tell her that we found out where Ryu-Oki is?" Keeren offered, stuffing cereal into her mouth.
"That'd be a good idea."
A moments silence reigned out. After a while Nuriko stood and left for the shower, leaving the two friends to themselves. Melissa and Keeren chatted a bit more before they agreed that they would tell Teri that afternoon and try to leave the next day.

Melissa crept into the room, stealthy like a mouse. The afternoon sun came into the raised window and cast over the bed creating pits and shadows. A foxy grin rose on her face as she snaked up to the bed. She was trying her best not to laugh out loud before the trick was pulled. Stepping up tot he edge of the bed and too a hold of the mattress.
"TER-RIII!!! EARTHQUAKE!!" The healer screamed at the top of her lungs, lifting the mattress off it's box spring and dropping it again. She repeated this until Teri fell shrieking off the opposite edge of the bed.
Melissa collapsed in laughter, holding her sides tightly. Keeren fell through the doorway pounding at the floor as she laughed for all she was worth. Teri glared at the two from under her hair. She eyed the two viscously, figuring out which was the closest one to tackle. Melissa proved as the best subject.
Teri let out a battle cry and leapt over the bed, tackling Melissa effectively. Keeren stopped her fits of giggling to watch the two for a moment, just before erupting into laughter again. Teri grabbed her sister's multi-color locks of hair and yanked on them with all of her might. Melissa yelled out and snatched Teri's tail and yanked on it until Teri let go of her hair and fell onto her back. Teri jumped up once more and seized Melissa's throat, shaking her sibling's head to and fro.
"Enough!! I surrender!!" Melissa croaked. A moment later Teri let go and rolled off of her. She lay on the ground a minute and began to cackle madly. Melissa soon joined her on the floor laughing with Keeren crawling up to them.
"Thanks guys, I really needed something to cheer me up." Teri laughed.
"Don't mention it." Keeren said. "I'm just glad you didn't attack me." She smiled sheepishly. Teri eyed her maniacally.
"Well Keeren better keep her yapper shut or Teri might upper-cut her." She sliced at the air with her fist. Keeren smacked a hand over her mouth and nodded fanatically. Melissa pushed herself off the ground and sat herself on the Saiya-elf's bed.
"By th' way Teri. Just for a turn of good news, we know where Ryu-oki and Legolas are."
Teri went from the expression of humor to sober as she sat herself up.
"Really?" She asked, looking up at her younger sibling. Melissa smiled and nodded.
"They're in an emerald ore mine up in Alaska inna place called Emerald Springs."
"You've really got it down to a exact location?" Teri asked.
"Well... not really." Keeren started. "We don't have like longitude and latitude and stuff but, yeah, we've got the right place. We can get a ma-"
"Shut up Kee, you talk too much." Melissa cut in. Keeren looked back at her with a scowl.
"Well." Teri stood, stretching as did Melissa. "Since we've got it figured out, I'm goin' out to train!" She said chipper-ly. Melissa frowned and yanked her sister by her tail down to the floor.
"There is NO way in hell I'm letting you go out and train again." Melissa stated, a faint growl in her voice. "Not with how you came back last night."
"But-but-but-" Teri pleaded, raising her pointer finger in the air.
"No is no." Melissa said severely. Teri frowned and dropped her hands into her lap. She muttered something weakly in defeat. Keeren smiled up to Melissa and held up a thumbs up.
"Well, if I cannot train." Teri started up again. "Can I at least get some breakfast?" She looked up at the two Saiya-jins surrounding her.
