Polaris watches the violet-haired one, who seems to be rash and arrogant. Nuriko was a very interesting name. Come to think of it, every name besides Miaka was pretty strange. What kind of world was this? After realizing this, she notices their outfits. All were traditional Chinese style. Were they in ancient China?

Chichiri looks at Polaris. "Tired, no da?" Polaris snaps out of her daze and nods. Nuriko grabs Polaris' arm. "Oh no.you're coming with us and getting this shit out of my hair." Polaris blinks at him tiredly. Tamahome comes back with a huge grin. Guessing he got lots of money, Miaka bounds up to him.

Nuriko yawns delicately. "We should go back. I need my beauty sleep. Gotta be perfect for my Hotohori-sama!" Polaris allows herself to be dragged along by a bitching Nuriko. He goes on and on about how he'll hurt her bad if the goo didn't come out of his gorgeous hair. Chichiri leads the way, trying to keep an eye on the other four at the same time. Tamahome mumbles, carrying the gluttonous Miaka.

Nuriko keeps talking as they go. Polaris finally asks a question "Why do you give Hotohori the title -sama?" Nuriko stops and glowers at her. "Because he's the emperor, of course!" Inwardly, Polaris laughs. 'Of course I'm going to see the emperor of China! And this bitch dragging me along is actually a guy!" She does think a little, though. 'She's so incredibly beautiful. I can't stand feeling jealous like this.' She lowers her head in silent defeat.

The sun begins to set upon their eventful day. Polaris' eyes begin to dilate, to adjust to the retreating light. They begin to hurry up, hoping to make it back to the palace before nightfall. Tamahome pants. "Couldn't you just use your kasa to get us there faster?" Chichiri pauses. "If we went one or two at a time, I think it would work, no da." He removes it and lays it on the ground. "Nuriko, you first, no da." Nuriko steps onto the kasa, waves then disappears. Polaris watches in awe.

"Tamahome, Miaka, you two go together." They nod and step onto the kasa together. Polaris looks at the kasa, to Chichiri, and then to the kasa. "That.is crazy." Chichiri shakes his head. "It's just magic, no da." "There's no magic in my world." Polaris answers, raising an eyebrow. "We'll go together then, no da." Chichiri offers. Eyes twitching nervously, she agrees. They walk over onto the kasa. He puts his arm on her shoulder tightly then they too disappear, taking the kasa with them.

Geda: Ah, this is my favorite chapter so far! ^.^ Polaris: I'm a bit confused. Geda: You're supposed to be! Polaris: Oh.. Chichiri: no da! Geda: Where did you come from? Chichiri: *shrugs* you put me here, no da. Geda: Oh, that's right. Polaris: And I thought I was clueless.
