Red Rose here, back for chapter 15! There's gonna be a new character in the story, she wont be here that long though, I just wanted to say she was modeled after me! (smiles) If I were older and lived out in the desert and didn't scream and pass out meeting Kai. Well I know this chapter is really late but, what can I say, I am lazy proud of it! Lets move on then...
SchoolBoredom- I'm glad you liked the chapter! Just between you and me, jack plans to take Kai to the fair and win a big bear for him by throwing a ball and knocking down bottles...no...
Fallen Pheonix- MWHAHAHA NOCTURNAL! (Tries to turn her head all the way around) hey, owls can do it, why not me? Yes, yes poor Kai...and almost all the characters I make up should die...In my head they do...moving on...thank you for the review
Kerei Kitsune- Hmmmm maybe Kai didn't want to? No, definitely too much excitement...but why would Kai pass out from too much excitement? I would think that he could take a lot of excitement...you think there might have been something in the lipstick?? (pokes Kai) Kai??? Are you OK???

ON WITH THE FICC-Y!!!
The sun was moving up in the sky and the temperature was quickly rising. Jack scrunched up his eyes and slowly opened them while lifting his head up off the steering wheel "shit" he thought as became aware of the big red line across his forehead from the wheel. "Damn!" he said when he realized how hot it really was. He looked around and noticed that they had really driven far the night before, they were in the middle of nowhere with a road, nothing but dust and road.
"So you're awake, I thought you were dead" Kai smirked at Jack.
Jack looked up at the teen that was now wearing a plain black T-shirt and dark blue jeans, the clothes he put on right before Jack came to the dojo the day before. "Yeah, yeah, and I thought you were...nice...OK, I'm not that good at comebacks"
"I noticed...lets get going, It's hot." Kai sat up straight in his seat trying to shake off the soreness from sleeping on it all night.
"Thank you Captain Obvious" Jack took off his jacket and threw it in the back. He turned the keys that were still in the ignition and the car didn't start, he tried again, but still no dice. He hit the dashboard, waited, and tried again, and the car didn't even hiss. Jack pulled a lever under his seat and got out of the car. He lifted up the hood and started checking around the engine. "Kai, try to start the engine up!" he yelled. "Are you doing it, or just sleeping?!"
"I'm doing it, ass!"
"Dammit" Jack said to himself as he closed the hood and stepped back inside the car. "I think the battery is dead...just...great...damn...it...all" Jack was repetitively banging his head on the steering wheel.
Kai slumped down in his seat and closed his eyes "We're gonna die, you know that, right? Heat stroke, Dehydration, even if we did have water, we have no food, and if this road is as deserted as it looks, who knows how long it will be until another car comes by..."
"Oh, just shut up, you're not making anything better"
"Neither are you, and I think you lost some brain cells with that steering wheel stunt."
"Why don't we conserve our energy and not talk?"
"Fine" Kai laid his head on the dash and closed his eyes.
An hour passed and they both didn't move an inch, until Kai shot up straight and Jack, startled, fell out of the car's open door.
"What the hell was that for?!" Jack yelled, rubbing the back of his head and jumping up from the scorching road.
"Quiet!" Kai stepped out and stood straight up "I hear something, listen."
Jack stood up and listened then said, "I hear it too! Sounds like an engine..." The sound was getting louder quickly "We have to wave our arms or something, so they know we need help..."
"Hell no, I'm not looking like some monkey!" Kai yelled.
"I see it!" Jack exclaimed as he caught sight of a tiny black dot surrounded by a huge could of dust on the horizon. He started jumping up and down and waving his hands excitedly.
The dot was coming up extremely fast, and loud. Jack kept on jumping and Kai put his hands in the air and the dot revealed itself to be a truck, a big pickup speeding up to them. The truck came up right to them and hit on the breaks, it lurched foreword and settled back right by the crown Victoria.
Jack fell back, realizing he could have been run over if he was just a couple of inches out further. He and Kai heard the door open and saw a young woman step around the truck. She had shoulder length red, dyed, hair and was wearing dark blue jeans that fell into her large black boots. Her shirt was short, orange and had three squirrels on it and said "Squirrels Gone Wild". She had a silver lip ring and a tattoo on the right side of her hip of a black dragon surrounded by fire, with a red rose in the background.
"Hey, my name's Mars, having car trouble- damn here's your sign (1), of course you're having car trouble, how's-about you start?" she said and smiled.
"Oh, ummm my name is Jack and this," Jack pointed to the other side of the car "is Kai. Our battery is dead and we've got no way else to get to where we need to go"
"Well that sucks, I'll go see if I've got some jumper cables in my truck...hold on a second, k?" Mars jumped up into the back seat of her Dodge Ram 3500. A nice truck, it was black with white flames down the sides, raised, with powerstep, diesel engine and a snorkel. A few minutes later, Mars jumped back out "Well bad news, I don't have anything that might help your car, it's a crappy car by the way, but good news, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico!"
"What the hell? Are you going to help us or not?" Kai demanded as he walked around the car and stood next to jack.
"Well I can drive you guys to the gas station/car shop I work at, you guys can stay there for a while 'till Joe tows it back here and fixes it up for you."
"That would be great-" Jack suddenly blacked out and collapsed one the ground.
"Well help me get him into the truck, I've go something for him to drink...but him being a cop, I just don't know..." Mars grabbed Jack's arms and stepped up to the backseat of her truck.
"What the hell do you have?" Kai said as he grabbed Jack's legs and pushed him up into the truck, standing by the door outside.
"Just some beer, but I'm underage, so that's a bad thing" she reached over the front seat and grabbed a six-pack of beer and took out a bottle "Now Jackie-boy, open wide..." She held jack's mouth open and poured half the bottle of beer in it, and watched as it all poured over and down Jack's cheeks. "Well that's it, I'm all out of ideas."
"You mean you don't know what to do? Dammit! If he dies, I'll be so screwed!" Kai yelled.
"Dude, I don't think he's gonna die and I can't help that I don't know what to do! Pluto always did the doctor-y stuff!"
"Pluto? Whatever, lets just get going" Kai shut the backseat door jumped into the passenger seat.
"Alrighty then..." Mars grabbed the beer and jumped out of the backseat and got in the driver's. "You wanna beer? Twist off cap." She offered.
"Yeah." Kai took the beer she was holding out to him and twisted off the cap.
"So why were you traveling all the way out here?" Mars said as she started to drive off.
"I'm in shit with the law and Jack over there says he knows a last chance for me, but I still don't know where the hell he's trying to take me." Kai took a sip of the amber liquid. "Now what's with being named after planets here?"
"It's a long story but...we have a long drive so... When I was really little, I was found wandering the desert here, lost and alone. Pluto found me and took me back to the shop, he tried to find my parents, and relatives, but he came up with nothing. So he decided to keep me here, he said he found me March 29 and decided that would be my birthday, since that's Aries...I don't remember the rest but it tied in with the planet Mars, that's what he named me." She said and drank some beer.
"Really, and you don't remember anything before that?"
"Nope, but I figure if I forgot it, it's not good enough to remember"
I'm gonna stop right there and take a nap...o right got some more stuff to do ok
(1)- Here's your sign is from the Blue collar comedy tour, the one guy I cant remember, but he says it when somebody asks something really obvious or stupid.
