Thierry finally spotted a nice hotel, after driving around for an hour. The taxi driver was nice and paid for it himself, since they were 'unknowing teens'. Deidra got hot after the comment, but they pulled her back her back and pushed her into the hotel.
The hotel was a Grand one. A long rd carpet led upstairs, while attendants pushed, gold, baggage carts. They marched up to a marble desk, which was open. "Excuse me?" Inez said, sweetly. "We need some rooms." The woman smiled, but leaned closer. "Rooms… We need some." Inez repeated, not so sweet this time. The woman shook her head and pointed to a sign; SPEAKS NO ENGLISH and pointed to another booth, with a line as long as the Great Wall of China.
They all sighed. "Hey," Thierry cried, snapping his fingers, "we'll crash-out at my dad's cabin! I'm sure no one's there. It even has a well," he said, more to Deidra and Jessie than anyone. Deidra shook her fist at him. "I'm already in a bad mood! Don't make me show you how mad I am now." Jessie and Clare smiled at the woman, pushing the two of them outside, followed by Deanna and Inez.
They, yet again, had to wait for another 'English' taxi. They, unfortunately, didn't receive one until it was, almost, dark. Thierry told the man the directions; then, they were off to a 2-hour drive to a deserted cabin.
Jessie began to play poker with Deidra, after a few, slow, minutes. Thierry took Deidra's manga out and started reading it and Inez, Deanna, and Clare began to talk about some weird stuff or something.
"Stop winning!" Jessie called to Deidra's sly grin. She set down triple aces'. Jessie slammed down her cards to show, only, and ace and four 2s. Deidra's grin turned into a yawn and she stretched, looking at her watch. "Man, it's only been an hour!"
"It sure is pretty though," Jessie replied, looking out into the dark night. "How so?" Deidra asked, leaning over to look out the window too.
She snorted and sat back. "What?"
"It's only stars… And plus! I want to gaze at them with my dream guy, who loves a cherishes me." She wined, but smiled a little. "But," Jessie began," you never know if that well works or not!" Deidra nodded herself to sleep.
Jessie, again, pulled out her journal and flipped to a clean page. But, she got writer's block. 'Now? Aw…' She wined in her head, but yawned on the outside instead. She curled up against the door, and fell asleep.
She woke up at Deidra's scream, just as much as everyone else looked at her, panicked. The driver swerved a bit at the shrill sound. Jessie stuffed her journal back into her bag, quickly and looked up at Deidra. Her hands were shaking violently. Jessie shot up and gripped her hands. "Jeez, what's wrong?" Deidra just kept staring at the floor. "Deige?" Deanna asked, shaking her shoulder. Deidra's head shot up and her eyes were pure blood red. The blood was raining down her cheeks, falling onto Jessie's hands. Clare and Inez screamed. "Scarlet Witch! She's coming!" Deidra's voice was scratchy and didn't seem like her own. Deidra's head turned to Jessie. "Scarlet Witch! She going to get us!" Deidra was rocking back and forth. Thierry wasn't anywhere to be seen, but the shrill laughing came again as a blade cut through the roof and there she was. Laughing evilly. She raised her blade and swung it down. Blood splattered across Jessie's eyes, and she saw no more.
Jessie's eyes opened regularly. She sat up, and sat on her hands to keep them from shaking. "We're almost there everyone!" Thierry said, looking out the window. Everyone did so, as well. Deanna swallowed, seeing the lights were on. "Thierry spotted it and slapped her shoulder with a smile. "It's all right; I called him while we were waiting for the taxi." Deanna nodded. "It's really nice. It has six rooms, four bathrooms, and a large lounge with a sleek kitchen." Jessie clapped her hands. "What about food? I'm starving!"
"Plenty of that my friend. My dad-" The car parked, the trunk opened and everyone got out of the car.
()()()()***()()()()
"C'mon, Thierry! " Deidra begged. "We were tired… I don't even remember leaving the car," Deanna finished. Thierry, simply, turned and waltzed into the kitchen. Being the only boy, it was kind of hard being with five other girls.
Jessie stood at the stove, flipping pancakes, listening to 'Good Charlotte's, The Anthem'. She clicked it off as she finished the last cake. She set them all at the table, along with six plates, six cups, and six forks. She brewed a fast pot of coffee and set that on the table as well. "Time to eat!" she called into the lounge and took her seat across from the angry Thierry. "Yay!" Deidra called, running to the table, followed by the others.
It didn't take long for them to finish breakfast. They were too excited about wandering around Japan. They even made up their own schedules and groups for certain spots. Deidra and Jessie, of course, scheduled a tour of the animation collage. Deanna and Inez decided they wanted to go to the Zoo first, above everything else. Thierry and Clare wanted to see a 'Love Hina' movie, even though it only had subtitles in English.
Deanna and Inez left first, then Inez and Deanna, and finally Deidra and Jessie. Renting a car, driving all the way back to the city. Since Jessie was driving, Deidra started telling her stories about some of her Inu-Yasha dreams she thought, might, become episodes in their comic for the-thrill-of-it. Jessie listened, but tried as hard as she could not to squeal every time Deidra said, 'Miroku'.
_-_-_-_--_-_-_-_
"Cool!" Jessie whispered as they walked past some Gundam Wing pictures. "Hottie alert!" Deidra pulled Jessie over to a cute picture of Inu-Yasha. Jessie chuckled. "Moving on, please." The woman said, turning to them. The looked at her and followed through some more action and romance pictures.
Lunchtime struck both of them, passing by a 'Hong au Kong Expressio'. Deidra moaned, "need-… food."
"That would be nice. Uh, excuse me?" She tapped the woman on her shoulder. "Can we stop to eat?" She woman smiled a t Deidra and nodded, leading them to a seat.
They finished and sat back. The waitress put the check on the table and slid it over to Jessie. Jessie's face turned white. "I don't have any money…"
"Ha! You're funny Jess, pay the woman!"
"I'm serious. I thought you brought your checks!" Deidra blushed. "I forgot.
Jessie and Deidra paid their price and were sent to the kitchens to do dishes.
"Jessie! I said I was sorry." Jessie scrubbed hard to get the dried meat off. They'd been doing this for hours. "It's okay…" Deidra smiled and set the plate in the water. Jessie stopped with Deidra and they looked at eachother, starting to laugh. "What an interesting night," Deidra called. Jessie kept laughing. "This is educating! Pay attention!" Deidra nearly dropped the plate Jessie handed her she was laughing so hard. "Friends forever!" They both said, and shook eachother's dirty hands.
_-_-_-_--_-_-_-_
Deidra drove home that night. Their hands were pruned from the water and sore from scrubbing, but they were still in a good mood.
Jessie looked at the clock on the dashboard. 1:37am. "Wanna check out that well, when we get home?" Deidra giggled, "yeah, sure. Why not?" The lights of the city, flashed past them. Jessie then thought of a poem. She glanced over at Deidra, reaching for her journal. She plucked the pen off her ear and wrote down the poem.
After the car drove into the pitch-blackness of the country, Jessie turned on the radio and her favorite song started. "Oh yea!" 'The Anthem' began its rock beat and Jessie banged her head slightly along with Deidra. The radio was booming in the quiet area.
They arrived soon after 'Swing Swing' from 'The All American Rejects' ended. They turned the radio off and jumped out of the car, walking to the backyard, silently. Knowing the others were asleep, they didn't say anything to one another.
They finally got to the well. The backyard was 15 acres and the well was right smack in the middle of it. Its pulley was missing, but the two poles that held it up were still there. A shinny blue ribbon was tied to one pole, blowing right in the wind. They stepped up to it. Jessie admired the blue ribbon while Deidra sat on the edge of the well. Jessie peeked over the side, looking into it. Deidra glanced behind herself as well. "There's water in there," Jessie whispered, looking at her dark reflection. Deidra nodded, "are you sure we should jump in there? I mean… There might be snakes or someTHING!" Deidra screamed as Jessie's reflection grabbed her by the waist.
Jessie quickly grabbed her hand, but the object was too strong and began to drag her along. She looked around for the guys, but they weren't there. 'Stupid rock sleepers!' She thought. The object pulled harder and Jessie lost her grip, falling into the well. "AAAHHH!"" She screamed along with Deidra. Then, both of their eyes showed darkness.
They woke, sore and angry. "I guess we don't taste good," Deidra said, standing and dusting herself off while looking around. Jessie's backpack had, apparently not come with her. She stood and brushed herself of, but something was different. She was wearing a black kimono. Her hair was longer and it was bronze. She slowly reached for hr head and felt fluffy cat ear, mounted there. Jessie and Deidra's eyes met and scanned eachother. "You're a demon!" Deidra squealed. "Look who's talkin'!" Jessie said, staring at her strange dog-ears. Deidra looked down at herself and shouted. "It worked!" Jessie cried, jumping up and down. Deidra started singing, happily. I WAS her dream anyway. Jessie felt a soft thing brush against her ankle. She leaned down to look.
It was a strange cat. Much like Kilala, except it as pure black with green eyes. She stroked her head and spoke, "how are you today, Kirasha?" She snapped. 'I knew her name?' A swishing sound started coming from Deidra. Jessie held out her arm and watched, cheerfully, as Kirasha ran up her arm and sat on her shoulder, as she rose.
Deidra was swinging around a long blade with moon chains hanging from the handle. Jessie looked at her feet. There lay an extremely long steel staff. She picked it up and measured it with herself. 'It would have to take two of me to measure up the this thing!' She thought, in awe at it. She looked back at the entertained Deidra. 'We're defiantly gunna like it here… Heck, we might even meet Inu-Yasha!'
