Jillybean01: My school has been on a teacher's strike for about a month now. I shall be coming back on November 3. /Thinks of all the chapters that could be submitted during break./

Kita: Why? Are they on strike because they couldn't stand your face/dodges another shoe./

Chichiri: You have to give her more credit, Kita, no da.

Jillybean01: Thank you!!

Chichiri: They may be on strike because she's too dumb or because her singing voice sucks, no da.

Jillybean01: /glares at Chichiri./ I'll let you know that I get straight A's and that I can too sing!

Kita: Prove it.

Jillybean01/grabs a microphone and sings a perfect rendition of The Battle Hymn of The Rebulic./(don't own)

Kita & Chichiri: / looks on at her in amazement/ Wow she really can sing (no da).

Jiru: /walks in/ Oh man! Why do I always walk in at the wrong times!!

Disclaimer: I don't anything dealing with Fushigi Yugi. I do, however, own my made up characters. You should know who they are by now.

Chapter 6

"Jiru!" Kita shouted. "Get your butt down here!!!" She couldn't wait to tell Jiru what had happened to her in the park.

Jiru came running down the steps.Only to find herself trip and tumble down instead. "Owie!", she cried as she carefully picked herself up. Kita just ignored her.

"Jiru, I had the most exciting day! I found this..." She stopped short as she noticed that Jiru was wearing something totally foreign to her (the shawl/kesa thing). "Jiru, what the heck are you wearing?"

She didn't wait for an answer as she just continued talking about her day. (ego much?).

"I found this weird hair-clip thing at the playground!" Kita took it out of her hair to show Jiru. "And then it started to glow a weird green color."

"Maybe it's because it's really dirty." Jiru suggested. "That's what usually happens to stuff when you leave it outside for too long. Besides, it's not like you to just take random things." Jiru got into her scolding mode. "You don't even know where it has been. For all we know a chipmunk could've eaten it, threw it up and died." Jiru said this matter of factly.

Kita looked at Jiru with a blank expression on her face. "You are the most disturbing person I know Jiru." Jiru seemed quite pleased with Kita's response as she gave a great big smile.

Kita snapped out of her blankness with a shake of her head. "This thing was different though." She was referring to the hair-piece in her hand as she put it back in her hair. "It's like it was calling out to me."

Suddenly the hood of Kita's sweater started moving as Hona jumped on her head and meowed indignantly. "No, I haven't forgotten about you Hona.", as she patted the kitten's head.

"Awe!" Exclaimed Jiru. "She's so cute! Where did you find her?"

"Oh, yeah. After I put on this hair-clip thing I found her behind a bush. "Meow!" Hona seemed angry. "Alright, Alright. I didn't exactly find her. She found me instead. Is that better?", she asked talking to the kitten. The kitten nodded her head.

"Looks like you two get along well.", laughed Jiru. But a second later she became very quiet with a thoughtful expression on her face. "Do you think that maybe finding that hair-piece and finding Hona is in any way connected?", she asked.

"How so?", asked Kita lazily as she started playing with Hona.

"Well, don't you think that it's a bit weird that once you put on this...this foreign object a cat suddenly jumps you? I mean what if this is some kind of device that attracts animals? I don't know why but it just seems that way."

"Yeah right, Jiru." Kita started sarcastically. "C'mon! You know that kinda stuff don't happen in this reality. Though I have to admit it was pretty weird when Hona came to me."

"It does too work, Kita." Jiru forced herself not to cry when said her next lines. "Remember about seven years ago when I did that weird magic thing with my hands and remember when you lifted those two bad guys as if they were nothing?" (I don't know why she cries, she's just sensitive I guess.)

Kita was shocked at hearing this. "You remember that Jiru?, she asked quietly. I only denied it being true so you wouldn't recall it and get sad, plus it does seem pretty incredible. Are you sure that it's not in our minds our anything?"

Jiru shook her head. "It's not." She knew Kita was just trying to protect her but she had to face these fears herself. "See just this evening I woke up and found this weird cloth thing," she pointed to the pink shawl/kesa she was wearing, "I chanted one of these spells from my books and then it started to glow."

Kita was about to give a reasonable explanation of why that could have happened. Finding none she sighed in defeat. Jiru was about to comfort her when she heard a knock on their front door. "Who could that be at this ungodly hour of night?", she asked.

"I don't know and I don't care." Kita replied. "But since you were the first to ask why don't you open it."

"Alright." As Jiru walked towards the door she couldn't help but feel abit tense. Anybody would feel tense, actually, if an unexpected visitor came to your house in the middle of the night. But...this was something different. This was more of a feeling of foreboding and danger. Jiru didn't really want to open the door but she did it anyway lest Kita think her a coward.

She opened the door to find a handsome young man, blonde hair pulled back with blue eyes; holding up box of chocolates. (!) Jiru's sense of danger increased as his smile faltered into a small frown, he quickly regained it however. 'What's this guy's problem?', she thought as she slammed the door in his face.

Normally Jiru won't slam doors in people's faces. (she's too nice for that) But this was something different. She couldn't quite put her finger on it but this wasn't an ordinary person."Hey Jiru, who was that?" Kita asked confused as to why Jiru had just slammed the door.

"Oh, just some guy with a box of chocolates in his hand. No big deal.", Jiru replied. 'Can Kita not feel this danger surrounding this place?', she thought to herself.

"What?!" Kita jumped up and blocked Jiru's path with a crazy look in her eyes. "You mean to tell me that you left some guy out there in the middle of the night with a box of chocolates?! What are you nuts?. This time Kita was now in her own scolding mode. "The number one rule for females is to Never Turn Down A Man With Chocolates No Matter How Creepy He Is, Because Then Afterwards You Can Kick His Butt And Keep Them For Yourself!!" Kita was a little too excited.

It was quite obvious that Kita was lost in her own little world and that she felt nothing out of the ordinary. "It just didn't feel right." Jiru replied. "Besides what kind of man goes to people's houses, at night, with a box of chocolates in his hands?" She felt that it was absolutely necessary to analyze every aspect of this awkward situation. "For all we know he could've poisoned the chocolates and then once we have eaten them we would die or something like that."

"Ah! You worry too much Jiru. Ya gotta start taking risks and stuff." Kita ran to the front door despite the cries of warning coming from behind her. But when she opened it nobody was there. "Ah man! Jiru you scared him off " Kita looked over her shoulder to where Jiru was standing. For some reason she seemed frozen stiff from her anxiety. " Jiru?", Kita asked concerned for her dear friend. "What's wrong?"

Suddenly Jiru looked up toward's the ceiling. "We have to get out of here Kita...right now!!"

------------------------------

Lord Briko (the fake one) was playing his plan out in his his head as he walked up to Kita's home (guess he followed her) with a "special" box of chocolates in his right hand. With a quick check-up of how he looked, he put on his best smile and knocked on the door.

As the door opened his smile faltered. Standing in front of him was not the strong red-haired beauty he planned to kidnap and marry. But another woman with dark green hair, of equal beauty, and with a whole lot of spiritual energy.

'I didn't know she had a sister?!', he thought to himself. He also noticed that surrounding this girl was bright white aura that would be really hard for him to cross (he's week against white magic). But before he knew it the girl had slammed the door in his face.

The fake Briko, realized that this brilliant plan had gone down the drain once he saw that "other" girl. 'If I wish to succeed in this conquest.', he thought, 'then I must bring some powerful reinforcements. With that last thought he disappeared back into his Universe, right before Kita opened the door in search of a mysterious, so it seemed, admirer.

Jillybean01: I could have wrote more to this if I wanted to but my fingers are pretty cramped. I will just put it in the next chapter.

Kita: Why did you make me boy crazy?! You should very well know that I am an independent female!!

Jiru: And you should also know that I am not a paranoid freak!

Chichiri: And you should know that I like fish, no da!!

Jillybean01: Chichiri, we already know that.

Chichiri: I just feel a little left out, no da. /turns chibi and hugs himself./
