Alatáriël: I'm hungry!
Kate: Me too!
Chichiri: Fish sounds good, no da!
Alatáriël: *cringes* No... pizza sounds good.
Kate: *dreamy sigh* yeah... pizza.
Chichiri: *frowns* Fish is better for you! Makes you smarter, no da!
Kate: *glare* You calling me dumb?
Alatáriël: *eye twitches* You're going down, monk! *runs after him with Kate in hot pursuit*
Chichiri: DA! *runs away*
Chapter 14: Beware the potty!
Chichiri and Kate were, as before, still lost in the woods somewhere on Earth... They hoped. Chichiri let out a cry of success in the form of ,"Soup's done, no da!".
Kate grinned and clapped as he held out a bowl for her. She thanked him and took it into her hands. They both ate happily.
Chichiri was a great cook! His soup tasted a lot like potatoes. Finally out of pure curiosity, Kate decided to ask some strange questions. (AN: *grins evilly* Fear it!.. um I don't own these...)
"Hey, Chichiri.... If you are trapped in a room with no windows and a locked door. How do you get out?", she asked. Chichiri stared at her strangely, "...Da, break down the door, no da?" Kate smiled, "Nope. Go threw the holes where the windows used to be!".
Chichiri slowly broke out into a grin. "Kate-chan... Why is the sun so bright?", he asked. "Umm... I'm not sure", she answered. "It listens to its elders, no da", he says with a smirk and taped her on the head with his staff. She laughed, "Cheesy!".
"How far can you walk into the woods?", she asked. Chichiri grinned and looked around him, "A very good distance, no da!". Kate smiled, "Half way, after that your walking out of the woods!" Chichiri looked thoughtful. "Do you think we are half way threw the forest?", he asked. The way he said it made her looks at him in shock. (AN: To understand this think of the FY plot ^_~... The story is the forest)
"Threw the forest... To tell the truth... I hope not... I hope it has just began", she answered and he smiled at her. "Do you plan to go back to your world after we summon Suzaku, no da?", he asked.
She smiled at him, "Nope. I would much rather stay here... This world has a lot of possibility for adventure! Mine's boring", she said. "Really, no da? Wish I could see it sometime", he said with a sweet smile.
"That would be nice", she replied. Suddenly a bright light shot out of the soup! Kate yelped in surprise and suddenly knew no more. Then her mind clicked to life.
'Chichiri..?', she thought weakly and felt something touch the side of her mind. "He's here child... You have four days...", a male voice said and everything went black again. She wasn't sure how long she was in the darkness... In a way, it had been centuries.
Kate woke up with a headache. "W-What happened?", she wondered out loud. Suddenly she noticed where she was. 'My room?! How!?', she thought and jumped up. Tears threatened to spill over. 'Chichiri... no', she thought and fought back a sob. Had it all been a dream?!
Suddenly motion caught her attention and she turned around just in time to see no one other than Chichiri laying next to her. She hadn't seen him due to the fact it was night time. He was moving slightly in the simple motion of turning over, now facing her.
She held her breath. He was here. In her world. How? Why? What the hell was going on?! She took a deep breath and ran a hand threw her hair one thought going threw her head, 'How do I explain this to mom?'.
Then her attention was placed in the hall. Something huge was peeking into her door with it's big eyes... It was... Chichiri's horse. "Oh this is just perfect", she said sarcastically as it bit at the shag green carpet (AN: I have shag green carpet... It does look like grass -_-)
With a loud ripping sound it tore a huge chunk of carpet out of the floor and munched on it lazily; all the while staring at her. She sighed and got up, walking over to the horse. She sighed as she tried, mostly unsuccessfully to move the huge animal.
Eventually Kate was able to get out the door and into the living room. She half expected to see her mom there staring at her with a belt in her hands with a 'where-the-hell-have-you-been' look on her face. No such luck.
The only face to greet her was her dog, who sprang up to her wagging his tail happily. She examined the house carefully, trying to determine how much time had passed. Her eyes trailed out the window. It was snowing on the ground when she left now there were buds on the trees outside. "Oh, shit", she cursed.
This was great. She had been gone at least a whole season! She walked over to the tv and turned it on to the news station. The tv dude talked about some rebellion that was going on and the President. She sighed. It was March... She had been gone for 4 months in this world and a little over a week or two in the other.
It was just the opposite of Miaka's. She was sure her mom thought her dead. She didn't want to have to explain this. Gods no. She only had one option in her mind.
She ran back to her room and grabbed her bag and began stuffing clothes in it. She left out a pair of guy jeans and an old blue shirt her dad had left behind on the bed. She then took out a pair of green jeans, a black shirt, and her homemade hoodie and ran into the bathroom to change out of her ancient attire.
She wanted to take a shower but who knew when her mom would come home. She quickly changed and examined herself in the mirror. She looked oddly different. Maybe it was all the traveling? She gathered up her things and returned to her room and put her old clothes in her backpack.
She then stuffed other thing of hers into the bag for the trip back to the Four Gods. Clothes mostly. She also made sure to back her carving knife and some food. She grabbed her extra cd player and batteries. Then she ran over to her computer and sent a quick e-mail to her friends telling them she was ok.
Taking a deep breath she found some family pictures and added them to her now bulging backpack before taking out some paper and a pen and writing a quick note to her mom.
Now came the hard part. Waking up Chichiri. She walked over to the bed and poke him. "Chichiri?", she whispered. He replied with a small mumble. She blushed slightly when she noticed how extremely cute he looked laying there.
'Damn, this has got to be a dream... Nothing in reality has ever been THIS good', she thought and chew on her bottom lip thoughtfully. This time she shook him. He grumbled something before suddenly bolting up right, causing Kate to yelp in surprise.
"SUZAKU, NO DA!", Chichiri screamed causing Kate to twitch away from him and cover her ears. Chichiri blinked a few times and looked around him. His eyes eventually settled on Kate who was staring at him wide eyed. "Daaaa... What... Where are we, no da?", he asked eventually.
Kate seemed to recover her composure as she smiled and with a little over dramatics announced, "MY ROOM!". He blinked and she could almost see his face pale. "W-We are in your world?! Really?!", he asked. His voice cracked making him sound like a chipmunk.
Kate laughed. "Yes, this is where I live---d... Please ignore the mess, and sorry for having to wake you up, but we have to go... It's not really safe to stay here... Umm... You need to change in something less... weird", she said and pointed to the clothes laying on the bed.
He frowned cutely. "What's wrong with my clothes, no da?", he asked childishly. Kate grinned, "Nothing at all... In fact I love your clothes, but they are considered weird here... I'm sorry about the stain on the shirt, but it used to be used when working on cars...".
Chichiri blinked, "Cars, no da?". Kate sighed. Three minutes later Kate was standing outside her room leaning against the door while Chichiri dressed. She smiled to herself when she heard a faint curse and a thud. "You ok?", she yelled threw her door. "No, no da! I can't see how your world's males get into these, na no da!", he complained.
"Keep trying!", Kate laughed threw the door. She heard another curse. "Want me to come help you?", Kate asked jokingly. She heard Chichiri yelp from the other side of the door. "No! I can do it, no da!", he shouted back.
Kate laughed. 5 minutes later Chichiri opened the door and gave her a childish pout, "It won't work, no da". She laughed seeing his shirt was miss buttoned. She redid the buttons and gave him a small inspection. His hair was messed up due to the close to fatal battle with said clothes.
"Hmmm... We need to find you a cap or something", she said more to herself than to him and began digging threw her things via closet. Eventually she unearthed a blue baseball cap. It really didn't match the rest, but she decided it would have to suffice till they found a replacement.
"We need to go somewhere... So, don't leave my side, ok? I don't want you... getting run over or anything", she said with a small frown. "Ok, no da", Chichiri said with uncertainly. With a few final preparations they were ready to travel. Kate sweatdroped when the horse wouldn't fit threw the door. 'Looks like he would have to stay here for now', Kate thought with a small laugh.
(AN: Ok! This is what Chichiri looks like: baby blue, long sleeved, button up, light shirt. Blue jeans that are kind of tight fitting. Yellow and white oversized shoes, a dark blue baseball cap, and Kate added a green plaid shirt tied around his waist.... In the end he looked like a rap reject.)
"Come on, homie! We must travel onward to Master Josh's house!", she announced and, while holding his hand as a mother does escorting her child, pulled him down the road hand-in-hand. She didn't bring a flash light, and prayed no one was on the road.
Fifteen minutes and two passing cars later Chichiri was as white as a ghost and had to be carried, chibi form, down the road. 'I wonder how that is possible here', Kate thought momentarily, but decided Chichiri was beyond her comprehension. Kate noticed the frogs seemed to start singing louder every minute... She suspected a Budweiser commercial to pop up any minute.
Soon they came upon a church. Unfortunately for Kate, she lived in the bible-belt. You couldn't go in a mile in any direction and NOT hit a church, but there was something special about this one church... and that would be the freak that lived behind it.
Kate knocked on the front door and was surprised when it opened to her touch. "Hello? Anyone home?", she asked and peeked into the door. "YO YO YO! What's up hom-- KATE! OH MY GOD! YOU'RE ALIVE!", her friend screamed and enveloped her in a bear hug.
Josh kept rambling about how he thought she was dead and about there never being any found body. "Josh, Josh, settle!... I can't breath!", Kate said. Josh pulled away, but still had her by the shoulders. "You have a lot of explaining to do, little lady!", he said with a mock glare. She giggled nervously, "Of course!".
Once inside Josh finally noticed Chichiri. "Who's the fox guy?", Josh asked. Kate laughed slightly. Chichiri frowned. "Umm... This would be Mr.Ri... He's... umm... My karate teacher!", she said. 'Oh my god... Did I just say that?', she thought.
Chichiri coughed, slightly shocked. "Ummm... Hi, no da?", Chichiri offered. Josh just rose an eyebrow. 'Damn it, boy! Buy it!', Kate thought angrily. "You got eloped, didn't you", Josh said. It was more a statement than a question.
Now it was Kate's turn to raise an eyebrow. "Where is your brain at today, Josh? That's totally idiotic!", Kate said. "It makes since. That must be the reason you ran away! Forbidden love and all that jazz!", Josh said. Kate rolled her eyes. "Right... Whatever... What's with the sponge bob pjs?", she asked.
Josh blushed, "Don't diss the sponge!... and your changing the subject!... What are you doing HERE anyway?", he asked. Kate frowned, "Yeah... Love ya too...Well, if you must know it's not safe at home and we need somewhere to stay... Since I knew you lived alone you were the logical choice!", Kate announced happily.
Josh glared, "What's in it for me?". Kate punched him in the arm and he laughed. "Fine, fine... but you'll have to sleep in the living room because I only have two rooms... or since you are MARRIED now you could sleep together", he said with a wink. Kate blushed, "Errr...Thanks Josh, but we're not married... Chichiri, you get the room... This living room gets scary at night", she laughed slightly.
"Scary, no da?", Chichiri asked, trying to ignore Josh's coment. "Ghosts... and passing cars", she answered with a grin in Josh's direction. He rolled his eyes, "I swear I saw the ghost of my dead gold fish! It was there!".
Josh lived very well for a first year college student. Kate met him when he was going out with one of her friends. They became real close fast and hung out a lot. Basketball was on the menu almost everyday, and luckily enough he managed to get her out of fights a lot. She guessed there closeness was the main reason her friend and Josh broke up... It's kind of bad when you stand up your girlfriend to play basketball with her friend.
There was never any romantic interest, but that didn't stop rumors. Kate gave Chichiri a tour of the house, knowing full well he was clueless. "Ok! All you need to know is how this works to survive here", she said while walking into the bathroom. She pointed to the toilet... which she had flushed Josh's GI joes down one day after he locked her in the bathroom during a game of hide and seek... They were bored...
"Ok... This is how it works. After you are done you push this thing", she said and made a show of taking a good four feet of toilet paper and throwing it in then pushing the button. Then showing him where the soap was and how to turn of the foists. 3 times she needed help from Josh to explain something for her.
By the time they were done it was two in the morning and they were all very tired. Kate was the first to retire. She took out a huge feather comforter and cuddled up on the couch in the living room.
Josh showed Chichiri to the guest room then turned in himself. Chichiri couldn't sleep. He couldn't believe it! He was in Kate's world!... There was so much here that was so strange... Like that toilet thing... How did THAT work?... and the candles that seemed to turn on and off at a person's will were amazing. Was it magic?... and CARS... Suzaku, they were out to kill him!
'I wonder why we are here. I wonder how Miaka and the others are doing, no da. I hope they are ok... and I wonder why we didn't stay at Kate-chan's house... So many questions, no da!', he thought with a small smile and stared out the window.
His last thought before going to sleep was, 'The sky sure is cloudy here, no da'. Alatáriël: Ok. First off... SOOOO sorry for the spelling mistakes in the last chapter, but I SWEAR the computer said NOTHING was the matter with it...3 times. O_o;;... Well, I hope you all liked this...

Kate: *glare* You calling me dumb?
Alatáriël: *eye twitches* You're going down, monk! *runs after him with Kate in hot pursuit*
Chichiri: DA! *runs away*

Josh showed Chichiri to the guest room then turned in himself. Chichiri couldn't sleep. He couldn't believe it! He was in Kate's world!... There was so much here that was so strange... Like that toilet thing... How did THAT work?... and the candles that seemed to turn on and off at a person's will were amazing. Was it magic?... and CARS... Suzaku, they were out to kill him!
'I wonder why we are here. I wonder how Miaka and the others are doing, no da. I hope they are ok... and I wonder why we didn't stay at Kate-chan's house... So many questions, no da!', he thought with a small smile and stared out the window.
His last thought before going to sleep was, 'The sky sure is cloudy here, no da'. Alatáriël: Ok. First off... SOOOO sorry for the spelling mistakes in the last chapter, but I SWEAR the computer said NOTHING was the matter with it...3 times. O_o;;... Well, I hope you all liked this...
