Tachiagair Jakunen Written by: Fira Flame

I do not own these characters; they belong to their respective owners. Keeren belongs to me and Missy and Teri belong to Missy and Teri.

This is a re-written version of the original copy of Tachiagair Jakunen, which I had written in the fall of 2002. It sucked, really bad, so here I am, re-writing it...

Enjoy!

Chapter 4

"Do bee... do bee dooo..." The Saiya-elf sang under her breath as she walked around and between trees. The evergreen surroundings were making her feel a bit giddy, her elven side taking over then. She spun around in a full circle, and on the last of her cycle, she let herself fall onto the soft forest floor looking up at the canopy of the trees. The constant sloshing sounds of the lake were hushed from the extravagant amount of plant life blocking the sound waves. She let herself rest in the shade and comfort of the forest.

"Good afternoon, Lady Teri." A blond Saiya-elf, much like herself said, leaning above her. Teri smiled and reached her arms up to Legolas, who bent down and allowed himself into her arms. Teri hugged him and let him lay perpendicular to her, his head resting against her chest.

"The forest back home isn't like this one." Legolas said. Teri nodded.

"This one's much too green, it's healthier than the one back home." Teri replied, running her fingers through the prince's silken hair.

"But none in this world can match it's beauty to that of the Greenwood realm."

Teri frowned and knocked him on the head with a fist. "Quit dissing my world." She drummed her fingers against his cranium, which was quite an annoyance to the blond.

"Stop that." Legolas said, Teri continued, but quicker and using what nails she had not bitten off yet. Legolas reached up and snatched her hand.

"Hey!"

Legolas kissed her hand before turning over onto his belly to face her. He gave her back her hand, but kept a firm hold on her index finger. Teri pulled, hoping to get it back, but Legolas had a good grip on it. On her final pull, she made a sound from her mouth that sounded very similar to...

"That's disgusting..." Legolas said, releasing her finger and sitting up. "I swear, if that wasn't fake, I'd be unconscious by now."

Teri frowned. "Come on, I know Gimli has farted worse than that and I'm sure you didn't pass out." She sat up.

"Maybe, but lady's don't pass gas."

"Since when was I a lady?" Teri asked, a fake face of confusion showing. "Last I checked...." She trailed off, beginning to grin. Legolas arched an eyebrow.

"I don't think I'll ever understand you." He said.

"And I hope you don't, it'd kill ya."

"Come and get it!"

"You don't need to say that every time we have a meal"

"But I WANT to, so I'm gonna!"

"Baka..."

Nuriko held her plate forward lazily and waited for it to be weighed down with food. When it didn't come, she looked up and glared at Melissa.

"Food?" She said. Melissa frowned and stirred the pot a little.

"Not until you say the magic words..."

Nuriko frowned. "May I PLEASE have some FOOD?"

"Yes, you may." Melissa smirked, plopping a load of baked beans onto her plate. Nuriko snatched a ready made hot dog off of a pan and went to find a seat. She found one on a boulder not too far from the camp. She sat, facing the lake and began to eat. After a moment or two, Chiriko and Chichiri came to sit with her.

"Konbon-wa, no da."

"Kouguu" Nuriko replied, pushing a mouthful of beans into her mouth.

"You want mine?" Chiriko asked, motioning toward his baked beans. He'd always been stingy about them. Nuriko nodded and let the teen push them onto her dish from his. He then sat in the grass behind Nuriko's rock. Nuriko looked up from her food, watching Mirai walk across the camp to a log, where he sat down to eat his dish of food. She arched an eyebrow at his five hot dogs and nearly dripping off his plate amount of beans. She had to remind herself that Mirai was part Saiya-jin, so he was usually very hungry. A strong warrior needs a full stomach, she thought. Mirai looked up and noticed Nuriko watching him. Nuriko quickly looked back down at her plate and stuffed her hot dog into her mouth. After a moment of trying to chew the large amount of food in her mouth, she looked back to the Saiya- man to find him looking directly at his hot dog.

Nuriko sighed, feeling a small rush of blood to her face. Damn he was hot! Nuriko couldn't help herself but to watch him eat, not noticing her own food growing cold.

"What are you staring at Nuri-chan?"

Nuriko was so started from the voice she jumped and her dish slipped off her lap and landed face down in the dirt. She cursed and ran her fingers through her bangs. Turning to the the one who spoke, Chiriko was looking back at her, his face as innocent as nothing.

"Um... the bushes over there." Nuriko waved her hand towards a few crimson colored bushes only a few yards away from Mirai. "They're pretty and remind me of Konan a little..."

"Ah." Chiriko smiled. "You miss it, don't you?"

Nuriko nodded. "Yeah, even with all of these cool things here, I'd rather be back in Konan."

"I know what you mean, the books here are much too easy too read. I'd rather have some from the Imperial Library." Chiriko smiled again and returned to his hot dog.

"I wouldn't go back unless I could take him with me..." Nuriko thought, looking back to Mirai, who was getting up from seconds.

Melissa looked up to the dark sky. Few stars could be seen and thick clouds were rolling in. She hoped it wouldn't rain. A rumble of thunder in the distance replied, Melissa cursed. A drop of water fell down from the sky and touched her shoulder. If it was going to rain, wouldn't the tents leak? Maybe, maybe not.

"Hi Genrou." Melissa greeted the flame haired seichiseishi who stepped out of the trees towards her. Tasuki smiled and wrapped his arm around her neck, walking down the beach with her.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Rain." Melissa frowned, looking up. There was a flash of lightning in the distance. It illuminated the entire sky. A roll of thunder followed.

"Damn." Tasuki frowned as he looked up. "I was hopin' it wouldn't"

"Well, that's what ya get for hopin', isn't it?"

Tasuki grinned and tugged on her ear lobe slightly. Melissa reached up quickly and knocked him on the nose.

"I get enough of that from Teri as it is. I don't need you doin' it to." Two drops fell on her face. She frowned and looked up. "Stop that!"

"They ain't gonna listen, so don't bother."

Melissa sighed, and walked up to the water's edge. She slipped off her sandals and walked in about a foot. She shivered only a little bit. She turned around, and beckoned Tasuki to her.

"C'mon, you big sexy bandit. Don't tell me your even scared of a few feet of water." She laughed.

"I'm not scared, I just dun wanna get sick." Tasuki returned. Melissa frowned and stomped out of the water.

"You are coming in, whether you LIKE it or NOT!" She grabbed his hand and swung him towards the water. Forgetting to let go, the two went into a spin, dancing into the water. Trip, kunk, KER-SPLASH. The two were in about a foot of water, Tasuki sitting on Melissa's lap, who seemed a little shocked that they had fallen. She grinned and grabbed Tasuki around the neck and pulled him to her lips, forcing a kiss onto him. Tasuki easily accepted, moving into it as soon as he could. He ran his fingers down her face and up her neck, playing with the hair tie for only a moment before letting her long locks of mahogany hair loose. His hands dug through her hair and he held her close as they continued. Her hands went down from his neck to his bare back where she traced his muscles and scars carefully.

A sudden roar of thunder alerted the two of the weather, just before the rain came falling on them. None seemed to care, they were already wet in the lake, why should they care about a little rain? Tasuki's lips trailed off from Melissa's lips to her neck, when she finally spoke.

"We're going to get sick..." She whispered, gripping Tasuki's shoulders and pushing him up. She could easily tell that he did not want to quit now, and neither did she by that matter. Melissa pulled herself and Tasuki up and looked around for some sort of secluded shelter. Her prayers were answered when she found a small opening in a large hunk of rock. She went over to it quickly and peered inside, her clothes already soaked. A jolt of lightning illuminated the cave and saw there was room for at least three people, four if they were small. She called to Tasuki, who was gathering Melissa's sandals. He came over quickly, and after only one glance inside, he pushed himself in, pulling Melissa in after him.

Melissa tripped on a loose rock, just barely missing the low ceiling and she found herself sitting on Tasuki's lap this time. She found herself shivering as well. Putting her hands together, she formed a small ki ball. She set it nearby, hoping it wouldn't implode on it's self. She grinned as the heat filled the room and bent down to Tasuki, who was waiting. She grinned and kissed him again. This would be a night she would never forget.
