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 6

Melissa blinked owlishly up at the ceiling. Huh? Since when was she camping in a solid building? Barely registering what the hell was going on, she looked around the room she was in. Well, if you could call it a room. The healer would rather call it a 'Small-cramped-space-which-is-cold-and-barely- enough-room-for-a-stereo', yeah, that's it. It was a cave, very small, very cramped. Sunlight was filtering in through the smallish opening into the cave. Her sandals were pushed roughly into the corner.

Trying to sit up, she found a pair of arms wrapped around her. And then she realized she was naked. Turning, she found Tasuki behind her, also naked. Her eyes widened. What had they done last night? Her eyes darted around the cave for some sort of answer. Her clothes were also in odd areas of the cave, each looked like they were thrown or pushed there roughly. And then it stuck her, they has gotten too close and too carried away and they fucked each other senseless. Now that Melissa thought about it, it wasn't half bad. What worried her the most was that neither of them wore protection. Remember it was a small chance she'd get pregnant, she ignored the idea.

"Genrou..." Melissa mumbled, pushing against the flame haired seishi's shoulder. "Get up."

Tasuki moaned sleepily and without waking, wrapped his arms around the Healer tighter and pulled her close to him. Melissa rolled her eyes and pushed on his chest to get off him. If she didn't get out of here soon everyone'd be worried and looking for them. This was NOT how she would like to be found. Half crawling, Melissa grabbed her clothes and started to dress. After a few more attempts, and the idea of smashing his head against the wall failing, Tasuki finally woke up and dressed.

Climbing out of the cave, they found that most of their friends were still at the camp, and not out looking for them. Only two were missing and they were the one that were usually in the forest or sleeping. Namely, Legolas and Teri.

"THERE you are!!" A voice came from in the forest. Melissa and Tasuki spun around to find a rather irked looking Teri. Okay, so she WASN'T sleeping.

"Yeah, hi." Melissa waved, and started walking back to the camp.

"And WHY didn't you come back to the camp site last night?" Teri asked, tagging behind.

"I had plans." Melissa replied.

"Plans? What kind of plans can you have when you're in the middle of no- where?"

"Plans that don't involve you or anyone else. Just me an' Genrou, oh-KAY?" Melissa growled over her shoulder. Tasuki grinned and as he walked next to her, he smacked her butt. Melissa yelped and pulled Tasuki into a headlock, giving his a fierce noogie. Teri stopped in her tracks. Huh? She was confused up the wall and it didn't seem to occur to her what had happened between the two pryos. Being that it wasn't any of her business, even if Melissa WAS her sister, she decided to ignore it. She scurried off into the woods after Legolas, who was waiting to finish their game.

"We're not goin' ta tell anyone?" Tasuki asked. Melissa shook her head.

"I never told them about any I had before, so why tell them about this one? I'm pretty sure they still think I'm a virgin."

"Nah, sooner or later they woulda' realized."

"What, do I act like I'm not a virgin?" Melissa inquired.

"Sometimes. It might jus' be your personality."

Melissa frowned, ignoring a quizzical look from Chiriko. She went to her tent and zipped it shut behind her. Tasuki stood in front of it and waited for her to unzip it, so he could get in as well.

"You can have the tent in a minute" Was all the reply he got when he knocked clumsily on the tent frame.

*********************

"We're going home already?" Chiriko asked, when he found several people packing their things already.

"Yeah." Teri replied. "I checked the weather on my laptop and more rain is headed our way." She sighed, rolling her sleeping bag up.

"Nuts." Chiriko frowned. "Well, okay, I'll go take care of my stuff."

"Did you think we were going to stay forever?" Keeren asked, popping her head out of her tent.

"I hope not." GT replied from inside of the tent. Keeren glared back into the tent and seemed to kick Trunks.

Melissa let out a drawn out sigh as she stretched across the sofa. It felt great to be back home. She liked camping, hanging out in the woods, but after a while it got boring, and painful.

"Comfy?" She heard a voice over her head. Melissa opened her eyes and found Nuriko hanging over the back of the couch, her braid suspended somewhere over Melissa's belly.

"Yes, I happen to be." Melissa replied, then closed her eyes again. "My couch."

"I'm not buggin' ya for the couch." Nuriko said. "I needa ask you a question."

" 'bout what?"

Nuriko sighed, and fingered her braid lightly. "I dunno, maybe I shouldn't. I've been asking you for so much advice lately."

"Since when am I an advice dispenser?"

"Yeah, your right, I should never have bothered." Nuriko began to walk off.

"Wait, hey! I said wait damn it!" Melissa sat up. Nuriko turned back. "What did you want to ask me?"

Nuriko sat on the couch at Melissa's feet, still fingering her braid. She seemed nervous.

"Well... Do you, um... have any tips... to..."

"To do what? To play pool, teach Genrou how to swim, what, what what?"

"Do you have any tips on how to get a guy to notice a girl?"

Melissa blinked. Relationship problems, with Nuriko? THE Nuriko, the one who stole a man just to get another? Unreal.

"Well..." Melissa started, not really knowing |how| to start. "I dunno. I never really tried that hard to do it. I just went up to them and talked. I guess I'm just that outgoing."

"Maybe I should just ask Keeren..." Nuriko mumbled.

"Don't bother with her. She was never that much of a relationship person." Melissa said. "As far as I can tell, she jus' got bugged by guys t' get her t' go out with them."

"Ahh..."

"So, all the advice I can give you is be yourself and just talk to him. It might work out." Melissa thought for a moment, a though struck her. "So... who exactly IS the lucky guy, hmm?"

Nuriko blushed and ran a hand through her hair. "No one important." She stood and walked out of the room. "I've got things to do, see you later!"

Melissa frowned. "Okay... Now I'm just confused..." She turned and hung her legs off the side of the couch. "I've got to find out who this guy is!"

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Melissa squeaked and spun around, finding Chichiri leaning against the back of the couch.

"Do you MIND?" Melissa growled.

"Not at all, but I do mind with you meddling with Nuriko's private life."

"I wasn't!! I was just going to see who--"

"That's definitely meddling, no da." Chichiri smiled. "Just keep out of it, hmm? It's none of our business."

"And YOU'RE the seer of all knowledge and I should listen to YOU?"

"Yup, no da." Chichiri walked off. "Listen to your elders."

Melissa frowned, again. Could she have NO fun? She was about to stand but a sudden wave of nausea struck her. She put a hand to her stomach and waited for it to pass. What the hell was that?

Ignoring it, like usual, she stood, and went about her business. Making special note to see whether Nuriko had a diary or not.
