Chapter 13: Toads don't like humans
"Karla. What's wrong?" Shippo asked.
Karla came back to reality, "Oh sorry Shippo did you say something?"
"Ya, I was just asking what was wrong that's all."
"Why did you think that something was wrong?" Karla asked.
"You just looked kinda distant and all." Shippo replied.
"Oh. I did?" Karla sounded confused.
"Ya. It was really weird. You looked like you were really deep in thought…"
"Maybe because she was Shippo." Sango told the small demon.
"Oh. Sorry Karla."
"Think nothing of it Shippo." Karla smiled. The rest of the trip back was in silence not wanting to disturb each other's thoughts. 'I wonder what type of powers THIS shard of the Shikon jewel has.' Karla wondered.
"Kanna. Did everything go according to plan?" Naraku asked awaiting the answer. All Kanna did was nod. A small smile tugged at Naraku's lips. "Excellent. Then phase two shall begin. Kagura, Lily I'm assuming that you know what must be done now?"
"Yes. We do." Kagura told him and with that they flew away.
"Kanna make sure that you watch them closely. I don't want any screw ups." Again Kanna nodded.
SIGH "When will Master Sesshomaru get back Master Jaken?" Rin asked politely.
"How should I know." Jaken snapped at Rin.
"Humph. You don't have to be mean about a question Jaken." Rin told him. A sound was heard in the bushes. "Master Sesshomaru!" Rin exclaimed. "Your back!"
Sesshomaru just stood there with a blank look on his face, "Let's go Jaken." And with that he walked past them back into the forest.
"…Wait! Master Sesshomaru!" Jaken yelled soon stumbling after him. Rin got on Ah-Un and followed them unsure where they were going.
Sesshomaru stopped and turned to Rin, "Rin stay here with Ah-Un." And with that he was off.
Sakura let out a sigh. 'Karla what's wrong. And what was that little girl saying to you?'
"Still worried about your friend Ms. Tao?" Croquet asked from behind her.
"Since when did you get there?" Sakura asked shocked.
"Just now. But are you?"
"You mean if I'm still worried about Karla…?" Croquet nodded. "Then ya. I mean who wouldn't? She was talking to someone who was working for Naraku, does that mean that she is going to work for them?"
"It seems that you have a lot of doubt in your friend. Why?"
"…I…I don't know why." Sakura looked down at her feet. "So why did you come out here any way? 'Cause I'm sure it wasn't just to ask me that one question."
"Croquet! Come back in here and finish this poker game." Kemo yelled out.
"…Oh. That's why."
"Heh, heh." Croquet looked back at Kemo for a moment and sighed; "Well I guess I should get back to getting my butt kicked." Sakura only laughed a little bit before Croquet glared at her. "It's not that funny you know."
"Sorry." Sakura smiled sheepishly. 'Poor, poor Croquet. Maybe I should help him out…' Sakura looked back at Croquet who was loosing very badly while Kemo was gloating taking all of Croquet's money.
"Don't worry about it. He doesn't need you help. He can beat Kemo when he gets to cocky and bets too much and then change the game so that he can win it all." Pegasus explained to her.
"Where the hell do you people come from?" Sakura asked kinda mad that she can't do the random appearing thing as well.
"Huh?" Pegasus questioned
"Don't ask." Sakura thought about something for a moment, "Why were you looking around in my mind…again?"
"I dunno. Maybe because I can." He smiled.
"If I remember correctly you said and I quote, 'Just because I have the power to do so doesn't mean I chose to use it.' End quote."
"And your point being…?" Pegasus urged her to go on.
"My point being is that just because you can use your power to read minds doesn't mean that you should. Peoples thoughts are private and you should respect that." Sakura finished off.
"I LOST!" A loud yell was heard from inside.
"Hey you win some you lose some." Croquet smiled, "But for you it's loosing…a lot." Kemo just walked out of the hotel room mumbling about Croquet cheating and how he lost all of his money on a stupid game. "That was…" Sakura started.
"Random?" Pegasus finished.
"For the love of god will you STOP reading my mind?" Sakura yelled at him exasperated.
"Um…no…" Pegasus smiled childishly at her. "Oh by the way, it's 3-1." Sakura looked puzzled for a moment till she remembered Pegasus' childish little game.
"You're STILL doing that?" Sakura asked.
"Yup, and by the looks of the score your sill loosing." Pegasus smiled gleefully.
Sakura just rolled her eyes and sighed. "You are SO childish."
"And that's why you like me." Pegasus' smile was still there.
Sakura blushed, "Uh…um…well…er…I never said that did I?" 'What does he look at while he's in my mind?' Sakura wondered.
"I've been looking at enough." Pegasus chuckled a bit.
"Ever wondered what it would be like for you hair to be set on fire?" Sakura asked darkly.
"Um…no." Pegasus said slightly nervous.
'Hmm I win. 3-2.' Sakura thought knowing that Pegasus was reading her mind.
"You're still loosing though." Pegasus remarked.
.- "Do you EVER listen?" Sakura scolded.
"Maybe…" Pegasus made that word as long as he could before he took in a breath and looked at Sakura unsure of what she was going to do next. And hopefully for Pegasus it wouldn't be painful.
RING, RING "Um…Ms. Tao the phone is for you." Croquet told her.
"Oh! Thanks Croquet." Sakura glared at Pegasus and answered the phone. "Uh hi."
"Sakura!" A familiar voice sounded at the other end of the phone.
"Uh…Ms. Mann?"
"Yup! Could you come down to the main hall? Please." Ms. Mann said in a happy tone.
"Uh…sure…" Sakura said unsure of her self.
"Great!" With that Ms. Mann hung up.
"OK…That was odd." Sakura thought aloud.
"Who was it?" Pegasus asked walking over to her.
"My drama teacher. She sounded drunk…" 'Wouldn't surprise me though.' Sakura thought to her self.
"What did she want?" Pegasus asked.
"For me to come down to the main hall…" Sakura started but got cut off by Pegasus.
"Well then what are we waiting for let's go." He grabbed Sakura's arm and headed towards the door.
"Huh…wha…what are you doing…? She said ME not you." Sakura held onto the corner of the doorframe trying to stop him from going any farther.
"Why can't I come?" Pegasus asked giving her puppy dog eyes.
Sakura gave a loud sigh, 'That's cheating…' "Fine you can come but don't do anything stupid."
"So Kaiba are you going to go?" Duke asked after he got off the phone to a drunk sounding Ms. Mann.
"No." He replied not once looking up from his computer.
"Karla, are you?" Karla shook her head. He looked at the other girl in the room, "How about you Rei (A/N: 1)?"
"Sure but I'm not participating." She said with a blank look on her face.
"Karla are you sure you don't want to come?" Duke asked one more time just to make sure.
"Ya I'm sure. You two just go and have fun I'll stay here." Karla said with a fake smile, 'I've been doing too many of those. I should just let my emotions come naturally and not force them.' Karla thought to her self. After they left Kaiba looked up from his laptop and asked why she didn't go. "I…just didn't want to. That's all." Karla looked out the window for a moment before turning back to him, "Kaiba could you do me a favor?"
"What?" He asked dryly.
"I want to go to the feudal era for a little while but the others may try and stop me…so I want you to lie to them and tell them anything except the truth," She looked at him in a pleading way. "Please Kaiba."
"Fine. But what will you give me in exchange for my secrecy?"
"Um…I don't know. What do you want?" Karla asked.
"Something valuable." Kaiba said dully.
"Uh OK…how about one of my arrows?" Karla asked.
"No."
"Why not? They have magical properties. And magic has power."
"It has magic in it." He spat that word out like it burned him.
"UGH MUST YOU BE SO DIFFICULT?" Karla screamed at him.
"Do you want my help or not?" Kaiba smirked, "Or shall I tell your friends about your little fiasco?"
Karla was in a panic, "NO!" Karla said in a loud voice but quickly changed her tone in case Kaiba changed his mind on the spot, " I mean no," She said in a calm voice, "Please Kaiba, please help me."
"I told you I would but I need something in exchange. And because you have nothing of value I will continue to read my progress report of Kaiba Corp." Karla thought frantically if she left he would tell them if she didn't she would be forced to face her friends with her fake smiles more and more.
Karla sighed and thought for a few moments till she got something she took off her necklace and handed it to Kaiba, "This is the only thing I have of value now will you please help me?" Tears were welling up in her eyes but she blinked them back.
"Hmm…This is the most valuable thing you own?" Kaiba asked.
"Yes." Her voice was weakening but she pulled her self together if she wanted his help then she was going to have to give this up.
"Fine. But you can have the necklace I don't wear jewelry." Karla stared wide eyed at him.
"You…you mean it?" Kaiba nodded and she smiled a genuine smile this time and conjured a portal to the feudal era and left.
"So Sakura, Joey, and Tristin are the only three people doing these skits?" Ms. Mann asked everyone nodded and she let them start.
"Today my baby Musa and I are going to fly to Canada." Tristin said with Joey crawling like a baby beside him. They walked past the ticket person.
"SIR! Sir, you buy the tickets over here." Sakura said from her side of the stage.
Tristin walked over to Sakura and asked, "Is this where you buy the tickets?"
"I just said that."
"OH! YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!" Tristin started to have a spaz.
"If he's not right then he gets like this." Joey told her.
"OH! Um… Sir you are right this is where you buy the tickets." Sakura told him.
"I thought so."
"So where are you headed today sir?" Sakura asked politely.
"We are headed to Canada." Sakura punched up two tickets.
"And who is this?"
"This is my baby Musa."
"How cute." Sakura patted Joey on the head and he pretended to look hurt.
"YOU DID NOT JUST HURT MY BABY MUSA!" Tristin yelled as he 'slow motion' slapped Sakura and gave her a punch for her to be knocked out. "Baby Musa grab the tickets."
"Ugh. Oh god my face." Sakura said holding her face and walking off stage. (Sakura is two people in this skit the ticket person and the flight attendant.) Sakura walked on stage pretending to be holding a cart and walked towards Joey and Tristin, "What would you like to drink sir?"
"Cranberry juice."
Sakura looked in the 'cart' and pretended to look disappointed, "I'm sorry sir we don't have any cranberry juice I'll go to the back and get some."
"You had better." After Sakura had gone back stage Tristin turned to Joey, "Baby Musa why don't you ever speak?" Joey did that clicking tongue thing and Tristin just looked at him oddly, "In Japanese." Silence.
Sakura came back on stage, "Here's your cranberry juice sir."
Tristin took a sip and spitted it out and threw the cup down, "You call this cranberry juice?" He yelled Sakura only nodded, "Well I call it CRAP berry juice. Go and bring me some more."
"Sir we have no more!" At this time Joey rolled off stage unbeknownst to Sakura and Tristin (In the skit.)
"What!" Tristin slapped her twice and did the kneeing thing and knocked her unconscious.
Sakura woke up about a minute later, "Ugh. My head."
"Go find my baby Musa!" Tristin said menacingly.
Sakura bowed, "Yes sir right away sir!" Both of them walked off stage and Joey rolled back on Sakura came shortly after, "OH! There you are I have been looking ALL over for you. Come on your father has been worried sick…well actually he hasn't but you get the point." Sakura bent down to his level but baby Musa clicked his tongue and slapped her, "UH! YOU UNGREATFUL LITTLE BRAT!" Sakura pushed him down to the floor.
Enter Tristin, "YOU DID NOT JUST HURT MY BABY MUSA!" He yelled at her. "Baby Musa pass me 'Shotty'." Joey grabbed a rifle from the ground and passed it to him and Tristin shot it at Sakura. She did some Matrix stuff till there were no more shots.
"Out of ammo eh?" Sakura asked.
"Ya…NOT! Baby Musa pass my the double Ozzyes!" Sakura didn't have time to react and got 'shot'. It then went into some WWF stuff and the plane landed. "Look at all of the Igloos!" Then they all went to the front of the stage and yelled, "END SCENE!"
"You two were pretty good." Kari complemented Joey and Tristin.
"We know it." Joey gave Tristin a high five, "But I was better."
"You give them a complement and this is what happens." Kate shook her head while pulling her friend away from the soon to be brawl.
"YOU were better?" Tristin asked annoyed.
"Ya. Better then you."
"HA! All you did was crawl around and click your tongue." Tristin argued.
"So. The audience loved it. Not like your character that beat up and shot people." Joey told him in aloud voice.
"That's it." Tristin lunged at him and the fist fight was on.
Kari looked at Kate, "Wanna order some pizza?"
"Sure this is probably going to go on for a while anyway. And it beats watching cable." Kari only nodded at this statement. "This is going to be a long night."
"So what did you think of it Ryou?" Mimi asked as they walked into the elevator.
"It was pretty good. Sakura stayed in character the entire time. I didn't know that she could act. Especially because of the mark she's getting."
"What IS she getting?" Mimi asked innocently.
"C+. But she got an, A last term so she went down. I think that Ms. Mann doesn't like her that much." Ryou told her as they had reached their stop.
"Oh. It does sound like she has it in for Sakura then." Mimi agreed. "What time is it?"
"Uh I'd say about 8."
"Hmm." Mimi thought for a moment, "Hey wait! Aren't Marik and Malik in the same room as Mr. Jack and Mr. Chin?"
"Oh dear God. What have those two done." Ryou wondered aloud.
Mimi looked at him, "Let's go." When they got there they heard nothing odd…and that scared them. KNOCK. KNOCK. Mimi disguised her voice before she spoke, "Room service."
Ryou looked at her, "What are you thinking they're not THAT stupid."
"SCORE!" Malik opened the door, "Hey where's the food?"
"OK so they are." Mimi smiled triumphantly, "Can we come in?"
SIGH "Sure why not."
Mimi noticed something instantly, "So where are Mr. Jack and Mr. Chin?"
"Uh…um…well…er…" Malik was trying to come up with a good lie but failing.
"Eh…They went to get food outside of the hotel…" Marik looked at Malik for support.
"They did?" Marik elbowed him, "I mean ya they did. Why?"
"I don't know but I just hope that they KNEW where they were going." Ryou hinted. "Hey Mimi."
"Ya?"
"I'll meet you back in the room, OK?" Mimi nodded and left. "So what did you two do to them?"
"We didn't do nothing to them."
"Uh-huh and I'm the queen of France."
"You are?" Malik asked.
"You're an idiot. But that's beside the point where are they?"
They turned to each other; "Well we don't want him to involve the tomb robber. He would probably kill us. I think that we should tell him." Malik only nodded. "OK they went to get us food. Happy?"
"Very. Now if I find two controlled bodies wandering around banks or Jewelry stores then…well you know what Bakura can do. Have a good night."
"When did he become evil?" Malik asked.
"I have no idea but I think that Bakura is rubbing off on him." Marik told him.
"Ya I agree. Hopefully he doesn't turn out to BE Bakura. Or were totally screwed." Marik nodded.
"I haven't been here before." Karla said to herself.
"AHHHHHHH!"
"Huh?" Karla drew her bows and ran towards the sound. She saw a little girl being attacked by a demon. "Hold on I'll save you." She shot the demon with a purified arrow thus killing it. "Hey are you OK?"
"Yes. Thanks for saving me." The little girl told her.
Karla noticed something, "Um…where are your parents?"
"Dead." The girl told her in a solemn voice.
'Oh My God I was too late to save her parents.' "I'm sorry." Karla bowed her head.
The girl looked confused, "For what?"
"For that demon. I wasn't fast enough and your parents died because of it. For that I am truly sorry." Karla bowed her head yet again. The girl just laughed at this. 'Is she crazy? She just lost her parents she should be crying not laughing…' "Why are you laughing?"
"I lost my parents a long time ago. I thought that I heard Master Sesshomaru over here so I came over here and got attacked by that demon. By the way my names Rin what's yours pretty lady?"
Karla blushed, "Karla…Rin! You're bleeding!"
"I am?" Rin looked down at her arm and remembered getting slashed by the demon but she didn't think that it was that serious.
"Here let me help you." Karla got out her first aid kit that she had brought in her bag. Karla and Rin went back to her (Rin's) campsite and talked for a while, Rin even asked her to show her how her bow and arrows worked till Karla heard something in the bushes. A freaky little toad thing came stumbling out.
"Master Sesshomaru! Master Sesshomaru! There's a human girl trying to hurt Rin!"
"Huh?" Karla let go of her bow and walked towards the little toad. "What in gods name are you?"
Rin came up behind Karla, "Master Jaken you're so silly. Karla was only showing me how to hold a bow." A hand came out of no where and pinned Karla to a tree the other one was glowing green ready to strike. Karla looked up at the person who was holding her it was a tall man with a blank expression on his face as well as a crescent moon on his forehead, three stripes on each side of his face and long flowing silver-ish white hair. He wore a large puffy thing draped over his shoulder a red and white kimono thing like Inuyasha's but more elaborate. It also had armor on the front and it had points sticking out from the side the puffy thing was on. Rin pulled on the bottom of the strange man's clothes and smiled up at him, "Master Sesshomaru Karla wasn't trying to hurt me. Karla was bandaging up my wounds…"
"Probably inflicted by this human." Jaken spat.
"No. I thought I heard you Master Sesshomaru so I told Ah-Un to stay here and protect the camp while I go and get you. That's when I was attacked by a demon and Karla saved me from it." Rin smiled up at him again.
The hold on Karla's throat loosed but he did not let go, "Then why was this girl pointing an arrow at you?"
"I was showing her how to use one…" The hold on Karla's throat tightened up again.
"I was not asking you human."
"She's telling the truth Master Sesshomaru. See she even bandaged my wound." Rin held up her arm to show where she had been hit.
"Hmm…" He let go of Karla. "Let's go."
"Master Sesshomaru can Karla come with us?" Rin pleaded.
"Rin I really can't…" Karla started but got interrupted by Jaken.
"See she doesn't want to come and what use would another human be…" Karla picked up her bow and arrows and shot one at Jaken. "EEP!" Jaken looked up to see that the arrow skimmed his head and landed in the tree that was behind him.
"Next time I won't miss." Karla walked over to the tree and got her arrow out of it with little trouble. "No sense in wasting a good arrow."
"See! She can shoot arrows that can kill demons like the girl that goes around with Inuyasha." Rin said excitedly.
"Kagome?" Karla asked aloud.
Sesshomaru's eyes turned to her; "You know my baka brother and his human?" Sesshomaru spat the word brother out in distaste.
"Yes. They're helping me and my friends defeat Lily and Naraku." Karla told him.
"Naraku?" Karla nodded. "Where is he?"
"In my time."
"If he is in your time then how are you here? You also said something about friends if they are real then why are they not here?"
"I can travel through time and I just…needed some time away from them…that's all." Karla looked down at her feet.
"Fine. Rin she may come. This girl might be useful."
"YAY!" Rin grabbed her hand, "Cone on! You have to meet Ah-Un!"
SIGH "Master Sesshomaru spoils that girl too much." Jaken sighed to himself, "If she had been a demon fine but…a HUMAN that's just…ugh."
"What was that Jaken?" Karla called to him.
"N…nothing." Jaken told her afraid about what would happen next.
"Ya I thought so."
'I hate humans…' Jaken thought to himself.
"Hey Kaiba where's Karla?" Duke asked when he noticed that she wasn't there.
"Out."
"Do you know when she'll be back?"
"No. Now stop bothering me I'm trying to work on some documents for Kaiba Corp." Kaiba told him not looking up from his laptop.
SIGH "Fine. Wanna go and look for her Rei?"
"No not really. She'll come back sooner or later so we shouldn't worry about her that much I mean she's old enough to look out for her self you know."
"Ya I know but still…after what happened to Sakura…" Duke trailed off.
"True but Karla's a lot more careful then Sakura is, no offence to Sakura or anything like that but she can be a little careless sometimes." Rei told him sitting on her bed and opening up a book, "You should be like Kaiba and actually use some of your spare time to work on your game." Rei told him. She could see Kaiba smirking behind his laptop.
"Why?"
"I dunno. Maybe for something to do…or for making your game better." Rei told him never once staring up from her book.
"Hmm…whatever."
(A/N 1): OK for the purpose of making the rooms work I have made Rei human. She is still a ghost and helps Mimi but I thought it might be a good idea.
