" WHADDAYA MEAN IT DOESN'T WORK IN REVERSE?!?!?!?!?!?" Jessie screamed, as her head grew to enormous proportions.

" I'm sorry! I had no idea it wouldn't go backwards!" A little chibi Kat chan wimpered with tears streaming down her face.

" OK, " Jessie's head went back to normal as she calmed down, " We just need to think about this for a second..... OHHHHH THIS IS BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

" Excuse me, but what is so bad? What are you two so upset about?" An obviously confused Yue asked. (A/N: Yue is so cute when he's confused!)

Kat and Jessie stopped yelling and looked over at him. Clearly, neither he nor Seiyuki understood what was happening, and quite frankly they had no clue how to explain to them that they could not go home. Jessie sighed and walked up to Yue, looking at him with a clearly forced look of cheer on her face.

" Well Yue, what we mean by it doesn't work in reverse is.... We can't send you, Seiyuki, or Kuroneko back to your homes. I'm sorry, we'll fix it as fast as we can but..... actually there may be a chance that we can't fix it. It's 50/50, cards on the table."

" So I cannot return to my world? I may never see Sakura, Cerberus, or any of my friends again?"

" I'm afraid so."

Yue fell silent, as did Seiyuki. All was silent in the dusty basement for a while. It was not until Yue quietly lifted off the ground and flew out of the basement door that the silence was broken.

" Yue? Where are you going? YUE!? Wait up!" Jessie followed him out the door.

"So.....I can't go home either right? I can't see my sister or brother or that evil neko again?" Seiyuki asked quietly.

Kat chan nodded as she reached for the machine's blueprints.

" YATTA!!!! HAI HAI !!!!!!!! I may never have to see the Oninikko again! " Seiyuki jumped around in joy.

Kat chan sweatdropped. " Oy, you don't get it, do you? YOU may not be concerned about going home, nobody knows you exist except me and Jessie, but Yue and Kuroneko.....They're a different story."

" How?" Seiyuki asked.

" Well, unlike you, practically the ENTIRE WORLD knows THEY exist, and if they stop showing up in episodes of their respective cartoons, there will be some MAJOR confusion."

" Oh......So? What's that got to do with anything?"

" YOU IDIOT!! If Yue and Kuroneko don't go home the ENTIRE world will be put into planet-wide confusion! Humans are petty, dishonest, simple minded creatures, if just one aspect of their daily life is changed they go completely MAD! They'll riot, storm our home, and possibly kill us!"

" Oh.....That IS bad!"

" Duh."

" So.....Where'd that other girl go? She just kinda ran off after that guy with the purple eyes."

" She probably went to see if she could help him. He didn't seem too happy about the fact that he probably may never go home." Kat chan commenced to study her machine in various parts, banging on a few with a hammer.

" Why would she help him? What,does she feel affections for him or something?"

" Oh yeah! Jessie's had a crush on him since the 6th grade, and by now it's probably more than just a crush."

" Meaning.....?"

" Meaning she LOVES him, duh. So therefore she wishes to comfort him in times of despair and or sadness."

" I thought all humans were petty and dishonest simple minded creatures who are sent into fits of panic when their daily lives are changed and all that crap?"

" Well, you see, Jessie isn't really human.....Neither am I. We're both MIXED with humans, but neither of us are fully human, so we have some emotions that today's humans are incapable of."

"Oh."

Kat chan resumed examining her machine while Seiyuki began to examine the objects in the basement. He was fascinated by the washing machine and was curiously looking at it, never touching, until......

" Hmm.... Huh? Whooo.....Big....Shiny.....Red....Button....."

" SEIYUKI DON'T TOUCH THAT! THAT'S THE SELF DESTRUCT-"

KA-BOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!

" ..........Button.........." Kat chan coughed through the dust and extinguished a small flame from her tail with her fingers.

" Sorry.... I couldn't resist it, it was just so SHINY."

" That's alright, it was gonna blow sooner or later on it's own anyhow. Well I can't seem to figure out how to fix this right now, let's go find Jessie and Yue and work on it tomorrow."

Kat chan led Seiyuki out of the basement, turning out the light behind her. After hours of searching they found them, sitting in a tree, arguing over who could beat who in a piano contest.

" Yue you couldn't beat me if you tried!"

" I could so!"

" Could not!"

" Could too!"

" Not!"

" Too!"

" NOT!!!"

" TOO!!!!!!"

" AHEM." Kat chan stopped the arguement. " Well it looks as if you're both feeling better, so shall we go home now and get some rest?"

" Sure. Come on Yue, we can finish this battle later." Jessie hopped out of the tree, followed by Yue. All five (including Kuroneko) headed home.

" Umm...One question..." Seiyuki started as they neared the doorstep.

" Yes..?" Kat chan replied.

" Where are WE supposed to sleep?"

" Ummm......" Kat chan started, " Uh, Jess?"

" Kat?"
