Jillybean01: Hello, Hello, Hello, there! I'm back after a somewhat decent weekend at my father's.

Kita: I bet it sucked.

Jillybean01: sigh/... I wasn't that bad...

Jiru: Well what did you do?

Jillybean01: absolutely nothing. Oh and thanks for the wonderful reviews AngelWingsRinoa77! You know I'm loving you right now, right?

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that deals with Fushigi Yugi, including Chichiri and Tasuki. I do, however, own Jiru, Kita, Briko, Tenielle, and an unknown character that will soon appear in the future. (I wonder who it is?)

Chapter 7

Kita started pacing around the kitchen. She was in a somewhat foul mood. "What do you mean we have to get out of here?!"

"What I mean is that we have to get out of here, out of this house!", cried Jiru. "We are not safe anymore!"

Kita looked at Jiru as if she were insane. "What are you talking about? We are fine!" She was starting to feel a little uneasy. This wasn't like Jiru to freak out on her like this.

"Don't tell me you didn't sense anything from that guy!, exclaimed Jiru who couldn't believe what Kita was telling her.

Kita started knocking on Jiru's head. "Note to Jiru up there. If you remember clearly I didn't even see that guy. So I wouldn't really know what to sense."

Jiru started to calm down. "Now is not the time for arguing Kita." She was about to say something else when they heard a loud banging noise on their door. They both looked at the door in fear. "Darn, they came sooner than I expected them to.", Jiru said as she closed her eyes and rubbed her temples to rid herself of an awful headache.

Kita had no idea what was going on but she was smart enough to finally figure out that they were not exactly in a comfortable situation. She heard Jiru mutter something as she saw a white light surround the house through a window, thinking back on that day a long time ago when Jiru had cast that protective barrier. "Jiru", she started. "How...?"

"No time to explain now." Jiru replied. "We still have to find a way out of this. Just then the house started to shake violently, causing book cases and shelves to fall. The girls lost their balance and fell to the floor. Kita seemed to be fine but Jiru landed on something sharp and gasped as her arm was bleeding...not the normal red color one usually sees when cut, but a silvery-whitish color.

Seeing that this was not a good time to be distracted by the color of her blood she turned around to see if Kita was alright, hiding her bleeding arm beneath her shawl/kesa. "Are you alright Kita?"

Kita looked up at Jiru "Yeah, I think I will live. How about you?" "Just a little scratch." Jiru replied. Kita didn't believe what Jiru was telling her. But before she could say anything Jiru grabbed her arm and ran upstairs to where her spell books were.

Jiru was quickly disappointed when she found out that a really big shelf was blocking their path. Kita, however, noticed something glowing up her arms.

She looked down in silent amazement as the bracelets that she had been wearing since she was 13, started to expand up her arms. Immediately she got an idea and lightly pushed Jiru aside.She walked up to the over-sized shelf and, surprisingly, lifted it over her head. 'Wow. More super strength!', she thought. She didn't know what to do with the shelf so she just tossed it downstairs.

Jiru quickly thanked Kita with a nod of her head and opened the door which led to her books. She ran to her bed and reached under, but to her dismay they weren't there. 'The earthquake must have moved them around.', she thought. Jiru didn't think they would help anyway because she had all her spells memorized and there was nothing that dealt with problems like this. She slumped down in defeat.

Kita observing all what was happening realized that something was wrong. "Too bad we can't just teleport outta here." She was just joking for some comic relief but Jiru looked up at her with a sparkle in her eyes. "Hey. Is there something in your eye, Jiru?"

Jiru ignored her as she did infact remember a teleportation spell. But where it led to she had no idea. She beckoned for Kita to come near her. Kita seemed a bit confused but came anyway.

Once Kita was near her she latched onto her hand. "Kita it just so happens that I may know of a transportation spell. I don't know where it goes though, seeing as it has never worked before. I have a feeling it might work now."

"I don't care if it takes us to Canada," Kita replied. "Just as long as it takes us far away from this place." Kita was all about survival now and didn't really care if it took her away from her beloved home.

Jiru seemed relieved. "Good. Okay in order to cast this spell I would have to drop my defense barrier around this house. Now listen closely Kita." Kita edged closer to Jiru so she could hear better. "This is where you come in. Sinch that barrier will soon be gone there are going to be many intruders in this house. Since you are the strongest you will have defend the both of us with your fists, because my concentration might break if I get hit, alright?"

"Alright." Kita replied seriously as she stood her guard. Seeing that Kita was prepared Jiru closed her eyes and had just dropped the barrier as she started muttering the spell incoherently. A white light/aura glowing around her. But something peculiar happened: As the white light surrounded Jiru it turned a strand of her hair white. Most of her energy was being used so it must've strained her.(Think of Rogue from the X-men movie...don't own.)

Kita stood alert as she heard all the windows in the house being shattered. She faced herself to the doorway as she heard a series of heavy foot steps coming up the stairs. She smirked. "Bring it on!"

The door opened to reveal about a dozen strong armed men wearing black faceless masks. When they saw Kita they started charging at her but with a swift kick to a side here and with a tough punch to a face there, she knocked them down pretty easily. But there was just one problem...they just kept multiplying. There was now an unlimited amount of goons against her.

She noticed a big guy run towards Jiru with a sword. She leapt over there with a sharp kick to his head, but not before he cut her leg with his sword. They fell at to the ground at the same time, Kita with a deep wound on her shin, and the other knocked out cold.

Despite the pain and exhaustion, Kita kept fighting. 'I can't not let Jiru down!', she screamed in her head. 'If I stop now, then we will never get a chance of getting here outa here alive and it will be all my fault!'

Jiru opened her eyes as she felt that her portal was ready. She turned around to see Kita fighting for her life. Jiru couldn't reflect on it too much or help her dear friend because all of her energy had been depleted, so she did call out to her instead. "Kita the portal is ready!"

Kita acknowledged Jiru with a nod of her head. She didn't look over, though, because she didn't want to get distracted. With a sharp punch to someone's jaw she started started running towards Jiru. Out of no where two muscle-clad men grabbed her arms. "Let me go!" Kita screamed but she couldn't struggled since she was too weak, as she was being dragged away.

Jiru felt something pull her backwards as she was being sucked back toward the white light. "Kita!", she screamed.

"Don't worry Jiru!" Kita called back. "We will see each other again soon." With that Kita was knocked unconscious as Jiru disapeared into the portal also knocking her unconscious from the sheer force of it.

Jillybean01: Hmmm. I wonder what's in store for our dear characters. Don't worry Chichiri and Tasuki will be in the next chapter. I was going to put them in this chapter but then I thought it might've ended up a bit too long. Plus I kinda like cliffhangers. It adds to the suspense.

Chichiri: Are you sure I will be in the next chapter, no da?

Jillybean01: Posilutely abstively my dear friend.

Chichiri: I feel so special, no da!.../Tasuki is busy sleeping in a corner/

Jiru & Kita: Hey what about us?!

Jillybean01/being indifferent/...What about you?... /receives some glares/... Oops. gotta go!

Till next time everybody...!
