Hey look! A new chapter! Sorry it took awhile. I was at home for break and the computer there is a piece of crap. Anyway, now I have my nice beautiful computer back, yay! Anyway, I'm not sure where to go from here, but we'll see. Hope you enjoy this latest installment. All kinds of madness breaks loose as some interesting characters decide to stop by to play.....
PS Thanks for reviewing!!! I love you guys!!!!
PSS Oh yeah, I don't own any of the anime characters. The only ones I own are Jena and all the crazy girls in the first chapter. Well, techincally they own themselves since they're real, but we won't get into technicalities right now.....
"Well,… you have a fear of trains and photographs," Jena said timidly. "And, you like food-,"
"Well, yeah, but what's in my future?" he interrupted. Jena sat in silence a moment as Kagome moved around the hut fixing dinner.
"Let's see, you are going to go on a train," she said after contemplating. Sano's face blanched.
"You mean I have to ride in one of those possessed teapots?" he asked. Jena nodded.
"Yeah, and then you're going to go to Kyoto where you jump in on a fight that Kenshin is having with a really psycho guy who looks like a mummy," Jena said, feeling more confidant. Sano leaned in close to her.
"Do I win?" he asked across the fire. Jena shrugged.
"That's for me to know and you to find out," she said with a devilish smile. Sano jumped to his feet.
"Tell me!" he shouted. "I want to know my future!"
"What? Someone knows the future? Oh, come on Shigure, let's go find out our future!" someone shouted from outside the hut. All turned to look through the open door to see a man and what looked like a woman, but somehow Jena knew better.
"I only want to know my future if it involves you," the man, obviously Shigure said. Jena sighed and rolled her eyes. Who else was going to show up before this dream was over?
"Ayame! Shigure! What brings you to our hut?" Kagome shouted through the door, the only one who was obviously happy to see the notorious Fruits Basket duo.
"Oh, we were just out for a walk when we thought that we would stop by for a visit," Ayame gushed as he tossed his long silver hair over his shoulder. "You know, I just designed this absolutely adorable dress the other day and it made me think of you Kagome. You must come try it sometime-,"
"You know, normal people only come over when they're invited," Inuyasha said as he glared at Ayame.
"Hige and Sano weren't invited," Shippo squeaked, but no one really listened.
"Who's your new friend?" Shigure asked as he walked to the door and eyed Jena.
"This is Jena, she's psychic," Kagome said as she stirred a pot of boiling water. Jena smiled up at Shigure as he walked over and sat on the other side of Jena.
"Oh, really? Tell me, do you see any high school girls in my future?" he asked as he took Jena's hand.
"Please, you're just as bad as Miroku," Sango said as she glared at Shigure. Jena pulled her hand out of Shigure's and smiled sweetly.
"No, but there is one pissed off editor with rope," she said brightly. Shigure sighed and shook his head.
"There are only so many ways to torture that woman," he said as his favorite torturing memories passed through his mind.
"Hey! Get your hands off me!" Inuyasha yelled as he back away from Ayame in the yard in front of the house.
"But you would look so cute if you put it in pigtails! It's such luxurious hair!" Ayame fawned as he tried to grab a handful of Inuyasha's locks.
"I'm warning you snake! One more step closer and I'll-,"
"And you'll what? Sounds like someone is itching for a fight!" another voice shouted from outside of Jena's view. She hopped up and ran out of the house just in time to see Kyo glaring at Inuyasha. Ayame was apparently smarter than he appeared and ran out of the danger zone to stand next to Jena. Jena sighed and shook her head. All of these random characters popping up from no where were beginning to give her a headache.
"Oh, so you want to fight, huh? Bring it on, kitty!" Inuyasha shouted as he grinned maliciously.
"You're asking for it, dog-breath!" Kyo shouted as he ran towards Inuyasha. The two then commenced into a somewhat brutal battle, which slightly worried Jena.
"One of them is going to get hurt. Shouldn't we stop them?" Jena asked, worry knitting her brow.
"Oh, I wouldn't worry. They're always like this around each other," Shigure said as he walked up to Jena's other side. She looked over at him. "Yes, Kyo will probably get ripped to shreds, but he'll drag himself home, lick his wounds and be ready to come back for round 2 tomorrow. Or was it round 362?" Jena turned back to watch the skirmish.
"They really always fight like this?" she asked as Inuyasha scratched Kyo's side. Shigure sighed and nodded.
"It makes sense, really. Cats and dogs never really get along, do they?"
"And bipolar cows don't help the mix," Ayame said cheerfully. Jena looked over and saw Haru bounding down the path towards the dueling cat and dog.
"Oh, great. It's Black Haru, isn't it?" she said. Shigure looked down at Jena.
"How's you know that?" he asked.
"Psychic, remember?" she said. Shigure nodded.
"Yes, that would make sense. Now, about my future…,"
"Hey Kyo! What's with you? Running off in the middle of our fight!" Haru yelled once he had gotten close enough. Kyo and Inuyasha stopped fighting momentarily to look at the psychotic boy that had ran up.
"Ha! I knew you were a coward!" Inuyasha yelled at Kyo. Kyo turned to Inuyasha.
"I'm no coward! I can take on both of you at the same time!"
"Oh, this is not going to be pretty," Shigure said. "Come on, I think it would be safer inside," he said, starting to turn around. Before he could say anything else, Jena jumped around and punched Miroku.
"I told you not to touch me!" she shouted as Miroku's other eye started to blacken.
"You know, I don't see why you couldn't just slap me like Kagome and Sango," he muttered as he turned and went to go sulk by the fire near Sango.
"Nice hit!" someone yelled from outside. It was followed by a grunt and loud shout of pain. Jena decided maybe she should go back inside. She walked in and sat next to Hige again. The small hut buzzed with conversation from the many people now cramming into it. This was weird and they still hadn't figured out how to get Jena back. Jena breathed deeply the delicious smell beginning to fill the hut.
"Mmm, that smells good, Kagome," Jena said as she leaned in closer to the pot.
"Thanks. What's Inuyasha up to?" Jena looked towards the door where she could still see the three over reactive youth locked in battle.
"Uh, he's out playing with Kyo and Haru." Shippo jumped up and down.
"Playing? Wow! I want to go play too!" He started to run towards the door when Jena caught him.
"I don't think you want to go play with those boys," she said as she pulled the little tyke into her lap.
"Are they fighting again?" Kagome asked. Jena nodded. "I know how to end this fight." Kagome looked out the door. "Inuyasha! Sit boy!" she shouted. Suddenly, there was a loud crash and muffled shout of pain.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. "You're always ruining my fun!"
"Well, one of these days you're going to kill Kyo or Haru!" she shouted back.
"Well, it'd be one less stupid cat and cow to bother the world!"
"Hey! Take that back!" Kyo shouted.
"I won't!" Inuyasha shouted. Kagome sighed as she stirred the pot.
"Sit boy!" she shouted. There was a huge crash and a groan of pain. Kyo ran inside the hut.
"Kagome! Why the hell did you do that? The fight was just getting good!" he yelled, obviously irritated. Large rips littered his clothes and dirt smudged his face.
"Probably practicing so he can beat a certain someone," Shigure said rather loudly. Kyo glared at him.
"Is Yuki a better fighter than Inuyasha?" Jena asked for no apparent reason. Kyo narrowed his eyes at Jena.
"How do you know about that damn rat?" he asked. Jena started to open her mouth, but Shigure spoke first.
"She's psychic. Which by the way, you were about to tell me something about high school girls…" Jena rolled her eyes and looked over a Shigure.
"I already told you, all I see is a pi-,"
"You can see the future!? Will I ever beat Yuki?" Kyo asked as he pushed Hige out of the way and sat next to Jena. Hige, who had been eagerly watching Kagome cook, yelped in surprised at being thrown farther away from the food. Jena sighed and looked over at Kyo, not really wanting to tell Kyo anything about his future. She had just finished watching the series the week before.
"I don't know," she said honestly.
"What! You have to know! You're psychic!" he shouted. Jena just rolled her eyes.
"I don't know everything!" she shouted back. "Sheesh.' Kyo glared at her then turned back to the fire and started mumbling something about a stupid psychic.
"Um, could I have my spot back? I can't really see the food from back here," Hige said while tapping Kyo on the shoulder. Kyo turned and glared at Hige. "You know, I think it's fine back here." Jena shook her head. Her headache was beginning to come back. No one would believe her crazy dream once she woke up, if she ever did wake u p.
"You stupid cow! Do you want to die?!" Inuyasha yelled from outside. Jena looked out through the open door and sighed. All this violence was driving her crazy.
"Come on, Dog-breath! Kyo's too much of a baby to fight, but I can take you!" Haru yelled. Kagome looked up and started to opened her mouth to say 'sit' but Jena raised a hand to stop her.
"Let me handle this," she said. Looking around, Jena found a medium sized rock sitting on the floor. She picked it up and looked at the cow and half-demon standing outside, glaring at each other. She shook her head, getting a slight case of deja vu. Then swiftly, she pulled her arm back and threw the rock, hitting Haru in the side of the head. The boy clutched his head and fell to his knees.
"Ah!" he yelled in pain. "Who threw that? Was it Kyo? I'll kill you!" Inuyasha started laughing and pointing at Haru. Jena looked around, found another rock and promptly threw it, hitting Inuyasha in the side of the head. Everyone inside the hut began laughing.
"Hey! That's not funny!" he yelled. "Who threw that!?" Jena stood and walked out of the hut again.
"I did. And there's more where that came from," she said, picking up another rock. Haru looked up at her.
"Who are you?" he asked calmly. His attitude changed suddenly, almost as if another person had taken over his body.
"I'm Jena," Jena said.
"She's a psychic!" Shigure sang from inside the hut. Jena rolled her eyes.
"Really? Can you tell me my future?" he asked thoughtfully. Jena sighed resignedly. She was doing a lot of that lately.
"Sure, why not? I've already told everyone else's future. Come in," she said.
"You haven't told me mine!" Shippo shouted, but once again, no one paid attention. Jena turned and walked into the hut. The fortune telling would never end.
