NOTE: Well, I'm still pretty angry about not getting any reviews from more than two people, but I love those two people and this chappie is dedicated to them! So give a HUGE round of applause to ihrtinu and Andrea8000! Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy! -claps- Theyve reviewed every chappie since chappie # 1, so they deserve it!

Also, even though school hasnt even started yet, I'm gonna decide to enter the talent show this year. (if they have one. Last year they didnt) It usually holds tryouts after XMAS vacations, so ive got lots of time to practice. And to get over my stage fright issues. I was in chourus last year, and it was great! Now, I dont get scared when I sing/speak/etc with a group, but even when I have to answer a question out loud in class, I choke up. It sorta doesnt make sense: I'm the leader amoung my friends, and they say im very outgoing; very Jack Sparrow-like. But when i get up in front of a crowd, I flip out. Here's some stuff Ive done/do to attempt to get over it. I know some of them sound outrageous, but i only sing when no ones home.

1) Sang in front of a mirror

2) Stood on the coffee table and sang, facing my reflection in the big screen tv. (We dun have that coffee table anymore 0 . 0;;)

3) Sang kareoke before at parties ( ppl said i sounded like avril lavinge after I sang "my happy ending". My legs always feel like rubber while im singing)

4) Joined chourus. (I made it this year, too. yaaaaay me!)

5) Sang in front of friends

6)recorded myself singing

7) Now that I have a Jack Sparrow poster ( a BIG one), I sing facing it. I always crack up laughing/ get nervous/ feel strange when I look at Jack's face, so It makes it hard to focus on the song. This one acually helps. Sure, I mess up a few words here and there, but I sounded better, and was lots louder, too. My chorus teacher, Mr. Williams, always makes the chorus face the wall when were too quiet, and says "Knock the wall down!" And since the posters on the wall, it helps, yet again. I LOVE YOU, JACK SPARROW!

Jack: -walks in the room- Do you really mean that, love? 0 . 0

Kumori: eep...0 . 0 -clamps hands over mouth- (me and my big mouth!)

Uh oh, Im in trouble now. Well, here's your RR's!

Andrea8000: Your answers were awesome too! I adored #'s 1 4 6 and 9. And i have a little inquiry about # 1...about the part in parentheses...do you mean like a couple? Just wanna make sure. tell me by next chapter!

A SHOCKING STORY: I'm not gonna delete this story b/c of those two girls up there , and the fact that Andrea threatened me. I luv them, cuz they answer my questions, leave awesome reviews, and are just all around great girls, so I'm continuing the story for them! -huggles the two-

ANOTHER SHOCKING STORY: I wore a corset to a funeral last week. Its not really as bad as everyone says it is; you can breathe just fine, its just tight around your waist.

Chapter Five

Mustang's House

--:Dedicated to ihrtinu and Andrea8000:--

When we got downstairs to the lobby, we were about to go up to Mustang, when Havoc burst in the door, yelling

"I HEARD SOMEONE HAD A WET SHIRT!" He looked around the now silent room, and spotted me. He stared and had hearts in his eyes. I took out my pistol and aimed it at his head. We stood there in silence for a few seconds, and then I snatched his cigarettes. Havoc started screaming like a girl, and fainted.

I noticed that Dark kid standing in a corner, looking at me as I lit a cigarette. I inhaled on it.

"What're you looking at?" I grumbled, releasing the smoke with a glare. He quickly looked elsewhere. Shrugging it off, I walked up to Mustang.

"Okay then, we're ready to go." I said.

"Can I come?" Dagger cried, popping up from behind me.

"Okay, sure." Mustang sighed, walking towards the door. It was Saturday, and nobody really worked on the weekends exept a few select people. So, in other words, Mustang was off today. Dagger didnt have to work either, she was just there because Hiei really doesnt trust her staying home alone. I wouldnt either, but she keeps things in order, believe it or not.

"Come on, Boys. Time to head out!" I called to Ed and Al. They got up and follwed us as well.

At Mustang's house, it was pure hell as I tried to unpack. There was Ed and Mustang screaming at each other, Al trying to make peace, and Dagger was snooping in my stuff, as always.

"Kumori, can we go now? I think my ears are starting to bleed..." Dagger whined.

"Hang on, let me get changed." I said, pulling off my wet shirt. (A/N: Dont start thinking dirty thoughts, theyre friends, theyre girls. big deal.)

Dagger looked elsewhere as she took a book off of the shelf beside my bed. It was called "Hurricane!" (Its a good book, ive read it 4 times) She opened it and flipped through the pages as I changed into dry clothes. I chose something I could work in; A pair of paint-stained jeans, ripped in several places, and an old Harley Davidson t-shirt. It was black, and had the H.D. logo on the back. ( maybe i should put it in the scanner so u can see it) I put my black hair up in a messy bun, and went to the closet and started digging around for my black work boots. I could only find one, so I started looking under my bed. While I was digging, I found a box with my new outfit inside.

"Why havent I worn this yet?" I asked myself, confuzzled. (DC: Andrea8000's word) I Found the stupid thing hidden behind my box of junkfood I stole from the kitchen. After I pulled it out from under the bed, I took a fruit roll-up out of the box, and threw a pack of M&M's at Dagger.

"OUCH!" She cried, dropping the book she was reading. "Why'd ya do that?"

"Just shut up and eat the damn things." I said, lacing up my boots. "Can't let Mustang or the Boys find out about my secret stash."

I laced up the one on my left foot, kicking the box back under the bed as I stood up.

"C'mon, Let's go."

Dagger stood up with a sigh, and followed me out to the front room, where Ed and Mustang were both red from yelling so much, and Al was trying to make them stop.

"Hey...Hey...HEY!" I shouted. They grew quiet, and looked at me.

"What?" Mustang asked, looking at me.

"Can we use your car?" I asked.

"What's wrong with yours?"

"Well..." I pondered. "nothing much, just EVERYTHING! The proportioning valve has air in it, brakes dont work, no a/c, door on passenger side won't friggin' open, the transmission's shot, speedomoter wont work, muffler needs changed, and so do the tires. And besides, my keys are locked inside." I explained. I took a deep breath as Mustang stared at me bug-eyed. He let out a sigh and handed me the keys and a $20.

"Alright, just make sure you fill it up before you bring it back."

I nodded, and headed out the door with Dagger close behind.

NEXT MORNING...

Kumori: -wakes up in her bed. she sits up, holding the blanket close to her. She is rubbing the sleep from her eyes, when suddenly, she notices her clothes are gone. Her eyes widen, and she nervously looks to her right. There is Jack, fast asleep. She screams.-

-The door bursts open, and in comes ihrtinu, aka Jess-

Jess: IVE GOT THE MOP! -she sees Kumori, standing there, wrapped in a bedsheet- Whats the matter? What happened? -runs up and shakes her- Tell me! -she then sees Jack in the bed asleep. her eyes widen- You did'nt...

Kumori: -sad look- I think I did... -starts crying-

Jess: -gives her a hug and pats her on the back- Its okay...Everythings gonna be okay...

Uh oh, what happened? Is this for real, or was it just a dream? You tell me! 0 . 0 I think I slept with Jack...

QUESTION TIME!

1- Any good ideas on how I can get rid of stage fright before the Talent show?

2- What brand of cigarettes did Kumori take from Havoc?

3- Why was Dark staring at Kumori?

4- What kind of car does Mustang have? ( I already know, but I'm asking you anyways)

5- What were Ed and Mustang fighting about this time?

6- What do you think Kumori's room is like?

7- What kinds of junkfood does Kumori have in her secret stash?

8- How many pairs of shoes do I have? ( Hint: double digits, more than 15)

9- What kind of car do you think Kumori will get later in the story? (hint: It's from the Dodge manufacturers)

10- What do you think of Dagger?

11- Just what the hell happened with Kumori and Jack? And was it a dream or not?

I'm pretty sure you know how this works by now. A the Q's in a review. (teehee, that sounds funny)
