Okay; I found time to write this. But it's still so short; it's just a chapter of Keikomi in the real world, so therefore, it won't be that interesting and therefore, short and somewhat boring…

Too lazy for reader's response and stuff…but thank you to all those who reviewed. (insert random happy face here)


Keikomi was not sure when the last time she felt so uncomfortable and out of place was. Walking down the extensively decorated halls of a boarding school, even more prestigious than Jonan High, she in her black colored and slightly ripped clothes stood out against the white and pale blue walls, and even more so, among the students in their prim and proper uniforms. It actually made her feel sick seeing everyone look and dress exactly the same like they were clones in some sort of lab.

Unlike what she had led the principal of the school to believe, she was not here to see if the school was a suitable pick for her. The reason she was here lay in her pocket, blinking red as a means of tracking the priestess of Suzaku. As she walked further down a hall, the blinks grew shorter apart and finally, once outside a cedar door with a fancy handle, it remained a constant glow of red. Thankfully, no one else saw this seeing as most students were supposed to be in class. Obviously, however, the priestess of Suzaku was not in class.

She knocked on the door and no one answered for a few moments but then after knocking once more, for whatever reason, the door swung open by itself. Keikomi looked in and saw a girl about to climb out the window. When said girl saw she had a visitor, she tilted her head curiously, "Do I know you?"

"I don't think so"

"Oh. Well, did Mika get you or something?"

"Who?"

"Mika. Tattletale. She said she'd be getting someone to stop me going after Kay"

"Now, why ever would I do that?"

The girl was contemplating something, "You have a ride?"

"I can…get one" Keikomi's eyes brightened at the way this conversation was headed. If there was one thing Keikomi liked more than the color black, it was the chance to cause trouble.

"Well then. I'm Naomi Nakamura; and you are?"

"Keikomi Fujiwara" Keikomi smirked and dangled the car keys she had taken from her math teacher's pockets before heading up here, "Shall we?"

"Let's"


When Naomi had said she was going after Kay, Keikomi had expected that perhaps this Kay had went into the nearby forests and had a horrible sense of direction or something similar to that situation. What she didn't expect was that they were headed to a club in Tokyo, where Kay had snuck out to get drunk.

Which was why she was sandwiched into the crowd of young adults at the moment. With a half empty bottle of tequila in her hand and her head bobbing along to the music. It was safe to say that after the first few moments of watching the pretty strobe lights and effects that the club had, Keikomi's priorities went out the window as well as, after a good number of drinks, her ability to walk straight.

Naomi was not any better off. She was attempting to say something, but it kept coming out so slurred that no one understood what she was saying. She could be saying that she was secretly Godzilla in disguise and no one would by any wiser. Unless they were also drunk. Drunken people seem to have this amazing ability to understand each other's drunk speech. It is remarkably like a language of their own. Of course, the setback to this would be that the next day, they would wake up feeling like they had accidentally stuck their head under the wheel of a truck and got ran over fifty times. Also known as a hangover. Oh yes, both girls would get one or those in the morning.

Luckily, however, for them, Keikomi had the sense to call Keisuke before entering the club to ensure that he would be able to pick them up after. Keisuke, eager to be part of teenage shenanigans once more (Oh, how he missed getting drunk with his friends and singing Christmas carols on summer nights!) had agreed, much to the amusement of his student. Keisuke had also been told where to find the book and to keep it far away from Taka and Miaka, who was currently still in the dining hall back at the boarding school.

Keikomi stood up and staggered for a bit, "Well…let's go…" she said. While she couldn't walk in a straight line, for some odd reason, her speech wasn't one bit slurred. Naomi, was the opposite: able to walk properly, couldn't talk properly. What a pair.

They left the club and Keikomi waved at the five Keisukes standing in front of the car looking amused and trying his best (since he was a teacher) to look angry, but somehow, it wasn't working. Keikomi wondered if this was a good time to ask Keisuke why he never told the team he was a quintuplet.

"Looks like you're really hammered" he commented.

"Coach…why didn't you tell me you had four brothers?" Keikomi asked, sounding rather unlike her usual self.

"I only see one…" Naomi managed to say with as little of a slur as possible.

Keisuke sighed. He wondered how Taiitsu-kun would react to having one drunk warrior and one drunk priestess appear in the other world. It would definitely deem to be interesting, but first, "Keikomi; I need you to let me into your house so I can get the book"

"Right…okay" Keikomi said, staggering into the backseat of the car and taking up the entire backseat. Naomi took the passenger seat and began chattering in nothing but slurred words, which Keisuke wisely ignored due to the fact that he didn't know what the hell she was talking about. Finally, after a couple of mixed up directions from the girl lying on the backseat, they stopped in front of a mansion. Keisuke watched as Keikomi tried to put the key in the lock and after the tenth try, she did it and the door swung open. Surprisingly, nobody was home and they got into the study just fine. Keisuke grabbed the worn, gray book from the desk and they went into the kitchen, where Keikomi's bottomless (thanks to Taiitsu-kun) bag was.

Of course, Keisuke had just been joking to himself when he was wondering what would happen if the two drunken girls showed up in the other world…drunk, but little did he know that Keikomi would choose that exact time to take out the crystal and give it to Naomi. As soon as the priestess touched the crystal, it glowed a brilliant red and Keisuke had to shield his eyes.

He opened them a second later to find the two girls, the bag and the crystal gone. All that was left was the book and he sighed, "Good luck" he said to no one in particular and made a hasty retreat out of the house. Who knew when Keikomi's guardians would be back?


Taiitsu-kun was mad. No, she was more than mad. She was furious.

The two girls had shown up at the Konan palace, completely drunk and they were passed out too. She couldn't believe how irresponsible the two were.

The seishi didn't help things either. Tasuki even suggested that the rest of them get drunk just so they would be on equal footing with the two girls when they woke up. Of course, this got a whack across the head from Nuriko.

And then there was Akai.

The rest of the day, the only thing that the palace heard from the bird was, "Tam-thing!"

So of course, Taiitsu-kun was beyond furious.

And her next thought made her depressed.

…this was only the first set of seishi, and they didn't even have all of the first set yet.
