Deidra's hand slapped Jessie's, sleeping, face, having her snap up. "You're gunna get it now, buddy!" She opened her eyes to the sleeping Deidra and sighed. She turned to Deidra and shook her shoulders. She snapped up as well. "I love you too Inu-Yasha!" Her lip puckered, ready for a kiss. She opened her eyes and met Jessie's. Deidra looked away, scarlet. Jessie tried very hard not to laugh as they walked to the airport's entrance, tickets and passports in hand.

Thierry came up behind Jessie and Deidra as they walked towards their gate. He patted both of their shoulders, saying happily, "wasn't this a great idea?" Deidra and Jessie said nothing. He looked at the two of them. They had their eyes set on the word 'Japan' typed on their tickets. He smiled wider. "Hey, girls! It's Rumiko Takahashi!"

"WHERE?!" They both shouted, immediately, looking up from their stare. Seeing no Rumiko, they turned to Theirry with evil expressions. His face turned white, "oops…" he said and ran for it. Deidra and Jessie, both, dropped their passports and tickets and ran after him. Clare and Inez picked them up. "Sad souls…" Inez said, shaking her head. Deanna gripped HER head, lightly frustrated. "We can't take them anywhere, can we?" She asked. Clare shook her head, smiling, "but that's why they're our friends." They turned to eachother and laughed, jogging after them.

Deidra finally cornered him at the gate. Jessie started laughing as he called out, "mercy on a poor soul!" Deidra grinned, helping him to his feet and slapping him on his back. "You know we're just kidding, don't you?" He gulped with a sarcastic-looking smile and nodded. Jessie smiled, "good…"

"Excuse me, will the first class passengers step forward? " Just then, Clare, Inez, and Deanna came up. "Let's-go!" Deanna said, breathlessly. They all stepped forward, giving their tickets to the woman and walking onto the plane.

_________-Later on the Plane-________

Jessie sat next to Clare, Clare sat next to Thierry, Deanna sat behind Thierry and Deidra sat next to Deanna, while Inez sat next to Deidra. Jessie leaned forward, meeting Thierry's gaze. "Hey," she began, "thanks for bringing us to Japan with you! We know it's an emergency so, we'll try to be good. He smiled, leaned back, trying to fall asleep. Jessie sat up in her seat, looking back at Deanna, Deidra, and Inez. "How you guys doing?" They smiled, excitedly. Jessie took this as a 'fine' and sat back down.

Jessie looked around and behind herself, finding everyone asleep. She took this advantage and pulled out her journal, flipping to a clear page and writing;

Friends will Friends,

Family will be Family,

Foes will be Foes,

Friends will be Family,

Foes may be Friends…

For awhile anyway.

The cycle of Loyalty

The weight of Bravery

The sadness of Happiness…

Makes this all true.

Jessie soon fell asleep herself, after shoving her journal into her bag and grabbing a navy blue pillow to lay on. She had a strange dream, like a Deidra dream or something. It had Inu-Yasha and Miroku in it. They were talking to eachother, laughing at times, and punching eachother in the arm. She finally stepped forward, into the middle of them. They both looked up at her and horror spread over their faces, backing away from her. Then the picture switched to a different view, to where she could see herself, but it wasn't her. The woman had short, boy-cut, black hair with red tips, red cat ear with black tips. She had a tight black shirt on, black pants, and a red trench coat. She saw the woman draw a giant axe that was slung on her back and swing it like a boomerang. It slipped quickly past the two of them. She caught it and slammed it on the ground, starting to laugh, shrilly, and a line of blood began to run down their necks.

Jessie snapped awake, screaming, "Scarlet Witch!" She felt a hang grab her shoulder. She looked over at Clare. Jessie's breath was quick. She felt a tear slide down her cheek. "What's wrong?" Deidra asked, looking over the chair, concerned. Jessie wiped her cheek and sniffed, "nothing, just a nightmare."

"Must have been a bad one," Inez said, seriously. Thierry, peeked, over Clare's shoulder. Jessie looked at all of them and started laughing. They looked at eachother, confused. "You guys look like a bunch of owls on Halloween!" They began to giggle, then burst into laughter.

Jessie nodded to herself as she checked her passport after walking off the plane. "I'm okay! How 'bout y'all?" Deidra came up to her. "How can you tell?" Jessie pointed to a stamp on her passport. "Oh, okay I see!" Jessie grinned at Deidra's relieved face. Deidra stuffed the passport in her pocket, and walked beside Jessie, who was walking to a snake place.

Deidra and Inez ordered the food while the rest of them found a table to sit at. They all began to talk about what they hope to see here. "I just wanna see my tiger!" said Thierry with a slight smile. "I want to see your tiger and some pandas," replied Clare. Deanna agreed with her. "I wanna see Rum-

"Rumiko Takahashi!" They all, except Jessie, said, nodding with some giggles. Jessie blushed, not liking to be known so well.

Deidra and Inez came back a few minutes later, passing the food out to everyone. A double bacon cheeseburger with fries and a Coke slushy for Thierry. A Caesar salad with Catalina dressing and apple juice for Jessie. A normal cheeseburger, fries and another Coke slushy for Deidra. A Big Mac with fries and a regular Coke for Deanna. A cherry slushy for Clare, (she was from the food on the plane), and chicken nuggets with honey, fries and a Hawaiian punch for Inez.

After eating, and cleaning up a food fight, they heed out to find a nice hotel to stay at. They stood by the street waiting, for an 'English' taxi. Deidra looked down at Clare then; she looked at everyone else. Suddenly, a yellow object with the word 'English' on a glowing sign began to pass. Deidra threw her bag down and ran to the street, shouting, "TAXI!" The car pulled over to her and popped the trunk.

Everyone threw their bags in the trunk and slipped into the car. "Where to?" he asked. Jessie looked at him then hit Deidra so she could look at him. He looked exactly like-

"Inu-Yasha!" Deidra squealed at him. He jumped and shouted back, "would you be quiet?! That's a secret!" Deidra's fingers twitched as she asked, staring at his hat, "are your ears under that hat of yours?" He blushed and turned forward. "Shut up…" There was a shuffle. Inu-Yasha turned to his shoulder, but jumped back as Deidra's face appeared beside him, angry. "Even though you can be a big jurk… You don't have any right to tell me to shut-up!" He grunted, shocked. "I love you," he said.

Deidra whispered in her sleep, "I love you too." Jessie sighed, shaking her awake. Deidra stretched and sat up. "What a nice dream!"

"He kiss you in that one?" Deidra blushed, trying to cover her crimson face.
