Chapter ten: To sooth the savage trainer.

.

.

.

The girl grins at the sight of Malik. "Ok, let's make this battle interesting." Turning, she points at Malik as she yells, "Sic 'em Yugi!"
Yugi backs away from his trainer, his hands in the air as he protests. "But you know I hate fighting! I'm a pacifist!"

Jess sighs as she stuffs her hands in her pockets. "So who's gonna fight?" she asks, not noticing another trainer walking in, flanked by Marth and Roy. Natalie on the other hand, does see them, so she grins happily as she races after the other trainer. Malik sighs impatiently as he taps the Sennen Rod against the palm of his hand.

Kat frowns thoughtfully. Suddenly, very loud and creative cursing from the halls draws everyone's attention to the door. A Mirai Gohan barges in, swearing his head off, his hair having been bleached white. Behind him is Faramir, who's trying his best to calm the Saiyan down. Seeing Yugi, Gohan growls, "why you little-!" before zipping forward and choking him Homer Simpson style.

All the trainers but Kat sweat-drop at the sight of the two Bishonen. Kat just sighs as she stands up. "Yugi, you know Gohan's gonna try to REALLY kill you know of these days!" she says as she taps Gohan over the head with his ball. At once, the irate Saiyan is sucked back into his ball, allowing Yugi a chance to breathe. The San grins sheepishly up at his trainer as he massages his bruised neck. "How did you do that anyway? I would think he'd have woken up if you'd tried at night."

Yugi grins proudly as he climbs to shaky feet. "I rigged up a bucket with bleach so that it fell on him when he entered the bathroom."

Kat grins. "Nice one." As she says this, Gohan's ball shakes violently in her hand, as if Gohan had heard her. Grinning even harder, the girl reattaches the ball to her belt as she whistles. "Faramir, you're up!" she yells. At once, the Man jumps to his feet, sizing up his opponent.

Malik raises an eyebrow as he looks back at Jessica. "No way. I'm not gonna fight him!"

Jess grins evilly. "Oh, you will, unless you WANT me to sing the 'Happy song' to you!"

At once, Susan and all of Jessica's older Bishonen yell for her to stop. Jess grins though. "Too late!" she chirps before launching into a rather demented song and dance.

"Blood and guts and bones and gore,
Spleens and kidneys on the floor,

Got to rip his chest apart,

So birds of prey can eat his heart!!"

With a flourish, she finishes, and grins broadly at the rather stunned trainers and Bishonen around her. Finally, Kat weakly asks, "And pray tell, where in the world did you learn that?"

Jess shrugs as she says, "A Dilandau that belonged to a friend."

At once, everyone says, "Oh!" as if it explains everything. Actually, it kinda does, considering how insane a Dilandau really is!

Brett shudders and whispers to the others as Malik finally consents to fight. "She used to use that song to get me to shut up back at home, so don't listen to her, she made it up herself. Personally, she's gone completely off her rocker."

At this, a shoe clonks him over the head, and Jess snarls, "I heard that!" as she retrieves her shoe. Walking back over, she grins as she watches Malik in action.

At once, the two fighter bishis had clashed, Malik slashing with the knife in the Rod, Faramir trying to get through with his sword. Grinning evilly, Malik feints an attack at Faramir's waist. When the Captain moves to block, he whips up and smacks him over the side of his head. Dazed, Faramir stumbles back, desperately blocking the Egyptian attacks, trying to clear the stars from his eyes. In the stadiums, the Saiyans yell for him to look out, and he stops an attack to the face again just in time. Grinning, he twists his sword, pulling the Rod out of Malik's hand in one swift movement. With a clatter, the Rod falls to the group a few feet away, and Malik scrambles for it, Faramir trying to stop him. With a yell, he drives the point of his sword into the floor, catching a bit of Malik's baggy shirt, pinning the San to the ground only a few inches from the Rod. Panting, the Man pulls out a small dagger, and acts as if he's about to cut the boy's throat.

Yelling, Malik raises the Rod and points it at Faramir, just seconds before the dagger touched his skin. At once, Faramir jerks, as if he's being pulled from behind, and grabs at his head, fighting the power of the Millennium Item. While Faramir's preoccupied, Malik tugs at his shirt, freeing it from the sword with a rip. Pulling a face, he climbs to his feet and halts his onslaught on Faramir. Recovering, the Man growls before lunging at Malik, the pommel of his dagger aimed at Malik's forehead. Raising the Rod, Malik aims at Faramir with the round end of the Item as he charges as well. With a resounding clash, the two hit each other at the same time. With a groan, they collapse to the floor, both knocked out.

At first, the trainers and the Bishis are silent, until Susan, who was acting as the judge, walks over to the fighters to see if either are conscious. She snaps her fingers in front of their faces, but there's no response. Shrugging, she stands and dusts her hands. "The match has ended in a draw!" She yells.

Sighing, Jess and Kat walk over to their Bishonen, putting them back in their balls. Turning, Jess grins weakly as she shakes Kat's hand. "It was a great fight. Faramir did real well!" she says.

Kat shakes her head as she polishes Faramir's ball on her shirt before reattaching it to her belt. "Yeah, but Malik did really well too! If he'd kept up with trying to control Faramir, he would have won!"

Jess sighs as she looks away slightly. "I did want to win that match though…" She whispers, a hand traveling down to rest on her stomach.

Sudden yells draw everyone's attention to Natalie, who's racing up with a beat-up Wufei behind her. "Guess what, guess what!! I won a match!!" she yells.

Jess grins as she hugs her sister, glad that she sees to be her old self again. "That's great sis!! Who'd ya fight?"

Nat grins as she points in the direction she's came from. "There was the other trainer who came in, the girl named Luinedhel. I saw her come in, and I followed her and challenged her Marth, and Wufei lost his temper, but he still won!!" she says rapidly. Holding up her purse, she waves it in the air as she yells, "Lunch is on me!!!" Cheers ring out as Jess, Kat, Susan, and Brett races after the youngest trainer, Anya staying to train with her bishis.

Later that day, after lunch and back in the hotel, a disturbed Susan walks in on Jess, who was listening to her dex.

"-Beware of the giant spiders in the northern territory past the mountains, as they are incredibly strong, and have a poison that will paralyze, allowing them to carry you to the city for punishment. Orcs and Uruk-hai roam the land throughout the territory, but they will not take you to the city. At best, they will only beat you. At worse, they will either kill, or rape a trainer, be it male or female."

With a beep, the dex stops, and Jess grins over at Susan. "Bet you didn't know about this little feature. If you ask, it'll tell you of the dangers within the Bishonen territories. Listen to this one!" She chirps before commanding her dex. "List all the dangers available within the Princess Mononoke Territory."

At once, the dex chimes as it drones on. "The Princess Mononoke, or Mononoke Hime Territory, as it is sometimes called, is filled with multiple dangers. Steer clear of the Boars, as they are simple-minded, and if they decide to attack, it will be many hours before they stop charging. The Monkey Clan will seldom attack, as they are more of a group of tricksters and pranksters. But if angered, they will seek to devour human flesh. The Wolf Clan is the most dangerous, as the wolves are smart and cunning. Luckily, Moro-Gami and her children rarely attack, and will only do so if the forest is being destroyed. Lastly are the demons. Demons can come from any of the animal Gods, but are most often created by the Boars. Do not let them touch you, for if you do, you will be cursed, and unless cured, you will be automatically sent back home in 3 weeks. A way to lift this curse is to seek out the Nightwalker, the nighttime form of the Forest Spirit. The deer-like form will not be able to cure you, but the Nightwalker is amble strong enough, if you can find him."

As the dex stops, Jess looks up and grins. "Pretty cool, huh?" she asks. "I've been looking over the dangers of the Territories we're gonna be going through. The way to the next city cuts through not only the Mononoke Hime area, but also the edges of the DBZ, Preater, and Utena areas." She sighs as she stares off into space. "I entered this world close to here. It was outside of Lutra Resort, a place on the seaside for trainers and Bishonen to relax." She snickers at the memory of that fateful day. "Boy, was I surprised when I saw Cell for the first time! He was actually heading for the sauna at the time! I wonder if his hearing has returned fully yet. . ." she musses, sighing as she flops back against her pillow.

Susan grins as she perches on the end of the bed. "Sounds scarring. I like it!" she jokes. Frowning now, she acts serious for one of the few times in her life as she grabs Jess's hand. "Look, I don't want to alarm you, but earlier, I followed your sister after lunch. She was acting very strange, almost as if she wanted to hurt something. She went into the forest, and actually ambushed a Denethor! Instead of capturing him, she had Wufei and Joey gang up on him, ordering them to beat the Man up! When he was no more than a massive pile of bruises and broken bones, they left to go back to the city, leaving Denethor to die! He's lucky I was there, I gave him a health potion, so he has enough strength to get back to 'Lorien." She pleads with the older trainer now, worried. "But the thing is, there's something wrong with Natalie! She enjoyed watching those two hurting that defenseless Bishonen! Please, you much talk to her, find out what's wrong!"

Jess stares at Draca in amazed disbelief. "You expect me to believe that? My sister knows better!" she finally yells. Smacking Draca's hand away, she points to the door and yells. "Get out! And don't you dare show your face again until you apologize to both me and Natalie!!"

Slowly, Susan climbs off the bed and walks to the door. Exiting, she looks back at the fuming Jess and says quietly, "As you wish. But I won't apologize, because I've nothing to apologize for. I just thought you trusted me more than that." before closing the door with a soft click.

Sitting on the bed, Jess grits her teeth for a moment before the actual horror of her actions hits her. "Oh God, what have I done?" she whimpers. Rolling up in a ball on the bed, all the emotional outbreaks of the day hit her, and she starts to cry, wishing she knew how to fix everything.

With a flash of red, the rather hung-over Legolas emerges from his ball. Staggering, he lurches for the bathroom, intent on cleaning his teeth. Hearing the sobs from his trainer and the 'bearer of his child' though, (Miroku would be proud) he pauses, wondering if she's still angry at him. A second whimpering cry from the woman helps him to make up his mind as he turns around and walks over to Jessica. Perching on the edge of the bed, he places a hand on her shoulder as he asks, "Pray tell me that thou art alright Jessica."

At once, the girl grabs him and sobs into the soft material of his shirt. Sensing her anguish, Legolas just sits there, stunned, as he pats her back gently. When she finally settles down enough, she whispers, "God, please help me, I can't do this by myself!!"

Pulling her up so that she's looking at him, Legolas gives her a small smile. "Thou dost not have to go through this alone. Not while I still have breath in my body." he murmurs, and is happily rewarded with a small smile from the distraught women.

The next morning, Anya yawns and rolls over as the sun hits her full in the eyes. Grumbling, she sits up, rubbing her eyes, and looks around the room at her snoring Bishonen. Sano is snoring loudly in the other be, Chichiri seems to be meditating in the corner, Kenshin is sleeping in another side of the room, and Haldir is draped over the couch, his eyes open but glazed over, and flinching every time Sano snores. Grinning at this, Anya places a hand on the edge of the beside table to help lever herself out of bed, when the sudden crinkling sound of a piece of paper under her fingertips reaches her ears. Picking it up, she holds it up t the light from the window.

Dear Anya, and all of her Bishonen,

I regret to inform you that by the time you read this note, Natalie and I will be far from here, doing the wanderer thing again. I find myself feeling trapped in the city, but mostly, I feel betrayed. Betrayed by one I considered to be a friend. If you wish to know more, then ask Draca, as I'm sure she'll give you all the 'details.'

I'm truly sorry for leaving so abruptly, but I need to walk my own path. I'll stick closer to the towns and cities when I start to get bigger, but until then, the Bishis of the world are calling for me! Please forgive me my friend, I promise to keep in touch.

Until the next time our paths cross,

Jessica and all her Bishonen.

Reading the note, Anya sighs as she looks out the window, knowing that somewhere out in the woods is a determined woman with her younger sister, two sisters on the adventure of a lifetime. "Good luck my friends….." she whispers into the breeze.

Jess: Yosh!! It took forever to get this one out!! Well Kat, I hope you liked the fight and your Mirai Gohan!

Sneak Peek into Chapter Eleven: Tread lightly, for there are Demons. . .

Jess grins as she pulls out a ball. "Well, can you help me out and use that Rod of yours to control the Elk, Malik?" she whispers, never taking her eyes off her prey.

Grinning, Malik holds up the Item and closes his eyes. . . .

Jess: Ok, please, if I don't get reviews, then I can't add more trainers! And good, nice reviews are the only things that help me survive at times!

So Please Read and Review my fellow trainers!!
