Ok, so here's the next chapter. And so enters a new character. If you haven't already figured it out yet, I'm bringing in all sorts of anime characters, which makes for some pretty interesting scenes. Well, at least I think so. I hope you enjoy it, though I apologize if there are any typos or things that don't make sense. It's about 2 AM right now and I'm not making much sense. Oh, and thanks for the reviews that I've received so far. This chapter is for you...

A few minutes later, Sango, Kagome and Jena were sitting around a fire in Kaede's hut. The shades were drawn letting no light it and causing the girls' shadows to dance on the walls from the firelight. Shippo sat in Kagome's lap completely intranced with Jena. Jena sat with her legs crossed indian style and her eyes closed. She was utterly hamming up the psychic thing.

"So, what's in my future?" Kagome asked as she leaned towards Jena.

"Hush," Jena said as she raised her hand, eyes still closed. "You're upsetting my chi." Kagome's eyes widened as she shut her mouth and sat back. From outside the flap to the hut, Inuyasha could be heard scoffing.

"I bet she doesn't even know what chi is," he said loudly.

"Well, you don't either," Miroku said. A large crash sounded, followed by Miroku whining.

"Shut up, you idiot!"

"Sheesh, did you really have to lay him out, Inuyasha?" Hige said. All three girls looked towards the door, irritation apparent on their faces.

"Would you guys shut up! You're ruining Jena's chi!" Kagome shouted.

"Yea, if you don't want your fortunes told you can go somewhere else!" Shippo shouted from Kagome's lap.

"I can tell you what you can do with your stupid chi!" Inuyasha yelled. They could hear sounds of a struggle from outside the hut. There was furious whispering followed by more struggling. Suddenly, there was silence.

"Fine! I'll sit here and won't say anything," they finally heard Inuyasha yell. Sango and Kagome turned their attention back to Jena.

"Now, where were we? Ah, yes. Kagome." Jena closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I see great danger in your future," she said dramatically.

"That's a load of crap! I could have told you that!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Inuyasha! Sit boy!" A large crash sounded, followed by muffled grumbling.

"You're whipped," Hige said with a laugh. Kagome looked back at Jena.

"Please go on." Jena nodded and continued.

"You're going to be kidnapped," she said dramatically. Kagome, Sango and Shippo's eyes all widened as they leaned in closer.

"By who?" Kagome asked after gulping.

"Beware of the cats." Kagome knit her brow in confusion.

"Cats?" Jena opened her eyes and looked at Kagome.

"Yes," she said, falling out of character. "Large cats. Panthers actually. Oh, and you're going to get cursed by a really old, pissed off priestess. But she's not Kikyo."

"Wow, your future's not very bright, is it?" Sango said. Kagome was suddenly becoming very pale.

"I thought you were going to tell me something about my love life," she said weakly. Jena grinned madly like the Cheshire Cat.

"Actually, I do know something about that," Jena said. The grumbling outside the door ceased. Color began returning to Kagome's face.

"Really? Is there love in my future."

"Yes, but neither of you will admit it to each other, even though it's painstakingly obvious to everyone else." Kagome frowned.

"Really?"

"Yeah, you guys will frugal(1) a bit and share a pretty passionate embrace-,"

"How passionate?" Kagome interrupted. Jena shrugged and sat back.

"Enough to 'transform' him," she said with a grin. Kagome blushed furiously as Sango giggled. "And that's all I can see right now." Shippo bounced up and down in Kagome's lap.

"Me next! Me next!" he shouted.

"What about my love life?" Sango asked quietly, stealing glances towards the door.

"Don't worry, he'll tell you he loves you when the time is right." Pink chased across Sango's cheeks.

"He loves me?" Jena grinned.

"I'm saying no more." Suddenly, Hige came crashing into the hut. Jena could see a very dodgy Inuyasha and a sly Miroku peeking around the corner of the door.

"She's good," he said softly so that only Inuyasha could hear.

"Yes, very."

"Hey, what do you see in my future?" Hige shouted. "Food? Pretty girls?"

"No fair! It's my turn!" Shippo squeaked from Kagome's lap. Jena patted the spot on the ground next to her. Hige sat.

"Let me see your hand," she said. Hige held it out. Jena pretended to study it. She traced several lines before speaking. "This is your life line. It's jagged and short. That means you're going to suffer and die." Hige gulped and turned pale. "But it loops like this, meaning happiness. So, you're going to die, but you're going to be happy about it. But then you come back life and it's all good." Jena looked up at Hige, barely able to keep a straight face.

"I'm going to be happy about dying, and then come back to life?" Jena nodded. Hige sat in contemplation a moment before speaking. "So, before I die, are there any girls or giant feasts?" Jena looked up at the ceiling.

"Hmm, I see one girl, but she thinks you're disgusting... cute, but disgusting...and I see ice... lots of ice... and a walrus." Confusion filled Hige's face.

"A walrus?" Jena nodded.

"Yes, a very big walrus."

"Do I kill the walrus?"

"No, but you eat it." Hige jumped up and shouted.

"Score! I get to eat walrus!"

"What's a walrus?" Sango leaned over to ask Kagome.

"Don't worry about it," Kagome whispered back. Shippo began jumping up in down in Kagome's lap again.

"My turn! My turn!" he shouted. But no one paid attention to him, because a very tall man dressed in white with spiky black hair stood in the doorway to the hut. Everyone went silent.

"What's going on here?" he asked, his eyes falling on the fire. "Are you cooking something?" Jena sat in shock. She couldn't believe her eyes. Kagome finally grinned.

"No, Sano. Actually our new friend Jena was just telling our fortunes. She's psychic." Sano's eyes fell on Jena. How on earth did all these people know each other?

"Damnit. I thought surely I smelled food," he said with a pain expression.

"Let me guess, Kaoru's food not up to par lately?" Inuyasha asked as he looked up at Sano. Sano sighed and nodded.

"It's been particularly bad this week. That's why I came here. I was hoping Kagome had brought some of that ramen stuff that tastes so good." Kagome glared at Inuyasha.

"I did, but someone ate it all." Inuyasha jumped to his feet.

"Now don't yell at me! You said I could have it!" Kagome stood quickly.

"I said you could have some! Not all, some!"

"Oh great. Every thing is always my fault!"

"Inuyasha! Sit boy!" Inuyasha crashed head first into the ground, much to the amusement of Hige and Sano. Jena was still sitting in shocked silence, staring at Sano. Sano was beginning to squirm under her intense stare.

"Um, your friend is kind of weird," he whispered to Miroku, who was now standing next to him.

"You have no idea." Sano looked around the hut as a loud gurgling reverberated off the walls. It broke Jena's trance.

"Was that you, Hige?" she asked. Hige grinned sheepishly.

"Yeah, I guess I'm still hungry."

"Maybe you should make some food," Sano said. Jena looked up at him.

"How did you get here from Tokyo?" she asked. A look of bewilderment filled Sano's face, then changed to one of suspicion.

"How did you know I was from Tokyo?" he asked, narrowing his eyes at the strange girl.

"I told you. She's psychic," Kagome said. Sano stared at Jena a long time.

"So what are you doing here?" he asked. Jena started to speak when Inuyasha interrupted.

"We were trying to figure out how to send her home when someone wanted their fortune told!" he yelled, glaring at Kagome.

"Hey, is it my turn yet?" Shippo yelled.

"Fortunes?" Sano murmured as he rubbed his chin. Silently, he stepped into the hut and sat across the fire from Jena. "Ok, Jena. Tell me my fortune. And while she's at it, make some dinner, please Kagome." Jena gulped. Sano had always seemed slightly intimidating when she watched Kenshin. But that was when she thought Ruroni Kenshin, Inuyasha and Wolf's Rain were all just animated TV shows. She took a deep breath and looked Sano in the eye.

"Well...,"

Grins evilly Don't you love cliffhangers? Actually, it wasn't intentional, I ran out of stuff. Anyway, a note on frugaling. Its a termed used by younger generations that mean two people are acting like a couple, but yet refuse to call each other a couple, even when it's VERY obvious to everyone else that they are in fact a couple. It's quite popular on college campuses. Anyway, please review! I hope to update again soon!
