Chapter One

 

The four guys had their plane tickets, today was the day, J'dee was flying out of the country to go over seas and they were following her, she looked at her ticket and sighed. Sephy had left on a flight to Virginia earlier that morning. J'dee had seen her off and told her she'd e-mail her with the new contact details and so forth.

“Awwww c'mon why did you sit me next to Gojyo Sanzo? I won't get any sleep!” J'dee exclaimed.

Sanzo scoffed. “It's not for your benefit it's for ours… if he's next to you maybe he won't hit on the flight attendants.”

Gojyo instead of snickering was just standing there looking at J'dee blinking. `It can't be… she looks just like…'

“Hey you sure you're not a half breed?” Goku asked looking up at J'dee. Gojyo instantly hit him over the head.

“Shuddup monkey you don't just ask her that!”

“What she looks like one except the eyes.”

“Then I don't look like one do I?” J'dee smiled. “Not fully anyway.” She patted Goku on the head making him smile.

 

Hakkai looked at Gojyo then at J'dee and he knew what Gojyo saw, the ghost of the half-breed woman Kougyoku who Gojyo had tried to save, she wore her hair the same way, save for it being in a braid, she wore a big black puffy Nike jacket and black jeans with yellow boots.

J'dee looked at Goku. “Why do you ask Goku?”

Goku blinked and smiled. “Ya kinda look like her… that girl the one Gojyo liked, when you wear your hair like that scept she died.”

J'dee blinked. “Well I don't plan on dying.”

Gojyo slipped an arm over her shoulder. “Glad to hear it beautiful.”

“But I am a mongrel.”

Gojyo blinked and looked at her. “You're a…”

“I'm part Chinese, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Chez, Dutch, Maori, Micronesian and Swedish I think that's all.” She smiled at them. “I call it a pizza of ethnicities. Which all I'm quite proud of thank-you, just don't ask me to speak anything but English cause you've lost me.”

“But you're just a human though right?” Goku looked at her.

“Yep… only human.” She heard looked over the railing down to the main part of the airport they were already through the customs part and she watched a group walk to the ramp outside to wait and watch the plane take off. “Now let's move before we miss the flight…” She headed towards the gate number. “I hope I don't get lost in LAX last time I was there it was horrible, I had no clue where I was going… then again I was only eleven.” She smiled at them walking backwards towards the boarding gate.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Belle smiled as she moved the sofa at a better angle to see the television set, it was perfect. It had been a bitch to move to the city, extending her morning drive to work to thirty minutes, but it was going to be so cheap with J'dee living with her that it was going to make up for it big time. She couldn't stop the giggle as she grabbed her purse, she just couldn't wait for J'dee to arrive. Of course she had to be coming into NYC so Belle would have to drive a few hours to go pick up her best friend. Still, she didn't have to leave for a few hours so she was going to pick up fixings for dinner.

 

Unbeknownst to Belle she was being watched, carefully. Seven forms were watching the woman, only three were on duty at the moment, dressed not in their usual black and white uniforms but street clothes. A blond with hair in his face, a bald man with red eye-shadow, and a redhead with tattoos; all three were focused on the woman as she walked down the street to the grocery store.

“She really does blend in with the natives here quite well,” Kira stated as he watched the woman as she walked down the street. “I can't believe she's an Espada.”

“Yeah well so did Aizen,” Ikkaku grunted and Renji elbowed his former Division's third seat. He really didn't like how Ikkaku was treating the members of traitors' divisions since Aizen's betrayal. Kira looked down at the ground and shut his mouth.

“She's on the move,” Renji stated into his cell phone.

“Copy, where is she headed?” Hisagi's voice replied.

“Looks like the grocery store,” Renji replied.

“We'll join you there and then we'll split up,” Hisagi informed Renji.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Gojyo looked at J'dee sitting next to him blocking him from the isle. “Shit this is no fair…”

“You got the window seat so stop being a baby and complaining… me I'm stuck between two idiots while Hakkai and Sanzo get the best view for the on flight movie in center row.”

Goku was looking at the flight card. “So is there a menu on here?”

J'dee sighed her head dropped taking the card from him. “Give me that it's an emergency procedure card Goku it states the exits the brace positions in case of an emergency landing.” She stuffed it in the pocket.

“Woooooow how'dya know that?”

“Cause it says so dumbass.” Gojyo rolled his eyes.

“Hakkkkkkkkai please trade with me!” J'dee begged.

 

Hakkai chuckled from where he sat. “I'm afraid you know the flight rules you said so yourself when you explained the seating arrangements, passengers are to remain in their designated seats.” He smiled at her from the center isle.

Goku looked at J'dee. “So how'd you know that?”

J'dee let out a breath. “I did a tourism college and ended up taking the flight attendant extra because it had similar requirements for cruise ship.”

Gojyo blinked. “Flight attendant huh, so did you join the mile high club with that?”

“No.” She stated.

“Do you want to?” Gojyo grinned.

“NO!”

Hakkai smiled. “Aren't you glad you're not sitting over there Sanzo?”

“'Ch I would be if I couldn't hear them, but I can and they're still annoying, and the damn assholes are out of fan range.” He huffed.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Belle was carrying her fabric bags back from the store, pleased with her ability to find a deal now that she was standing on her own two feet. She couldn't wait for J'dee to arrive, it was going to be fantastic.

As she was walking over the bridge to get back home, Belle looked up to see a small girl giggling as she balanced on the guardrail of the bridge. It stopped something in Belle's heart to see the small child with bright pink hair. After she had met a neighbor's child with bright blue hair, she knew that young children with obvious dye jobs were usually the children of neglect of some form, usually emotional.

“Wee!” the little girl cried and there was that moment that time slowed down. Belle could tell you the exact nanosecond in which the girl lent too far in one direction. It was conditioned response that had Belle drop her bags and step out of her shoes as she dove over the side of the bridge after the falling child.

 

“Shit!” Kenpachi growled as he watched Yachiru fall off the side of the bridge. The brat would be fine but she had just gotten the target's attention.

“Damn, she's going after her!” Ikkaku hissed. They had all been together to trade off about the target. Kenpachi looked up and sure as shit, the woman's feet were disappearing over the side of the bridge.

“She went after Yachiru as soon as she began to fall,” Hisagi whispered, the man was obviously thinking. The group of shinigami moved to the side of the bridge with the gathering crowd to watch the action in the water.

 

Belle was stunned for a second by the cold water, but the startled shriek of the child snapped her into action. She grabbed the child, who was obviously not a strong swimmer. The puffy coat and shirt the girl was wearing was logging her down with water and making her heavy. The child was surprisingly strong and wrapped her arms around Belle's neck, cutting off Belle's air. Only with the confidence gained from years of being a lifeguard, Belle didn't panic but sank into the water, praying she had the air to outlast the panicking child.

Training proved right and the child let go. Belle surfaced away from the child and quickly swam up behind her, grabbing the child under the arms with both of hers and clinging to the child. Belle floated on her back, doing a gentle whip kick to the nearby dock where people were quickly gathering. The child was screaming and thrashing, obviously deep in panic, but it was better than falling into that shivering silence that a child in the midst of hypothermia has.

 

It was hard for Yumichika not to giggle at the sight of Yachiru trying to drown her `savior' but he managed. The woman was making a valiant effort to appear human, too valiant. Yumichika bit his thumb before noticing that Hisagi's eyes were narrowed in thought as well. Kira, too, was obviously thinking about how bravely the woman had acted, leaving her bags and shoes behind to dive after an unknown child.

“Damn, she got Yachiru pinned. Have to have her teach me how to do that before we kill her,” Kenpachi muttered as he watched the woman swim up behind Yachiru and hold the girl's arms.

Yumichika and Hisagi grabbed the woman's things while Ikkaku and Kenpachi went to the dock to grab the two wet females. Kira and Renji stayed out of the way, best not to reveal all of their numbers.

 

Belle panted, the kid was struggling really hard and the cold water was making her muscles stiff and hard. This was not going to end well for her if she didn't get out of the water quickly.

“Hand me the brat,” a deep voice growled and Belle took a breath before grabbing the girl by her armpits and pushing her up out of the water. The weight was gone and Belle pulled up for a moment, fully aware of how weak she was from the combined effects of her adrenaline rush wearing off, the cold, and her limited muscle power.

“Gimmie your hand,” another voice stated and Belle reached up, blinking to clear her contacts and praying she didn't lose one in the water. The blurred figure was all flesh tone and black. A strong hand grabbed her wrist and she quickly reached up with the other hand. The strong hands grabbed her wrists in a bruising grip and pulled. Belle did her best to find footing but it didn't do much and Belle knew she'd be going to work Monday with long sleeves to cover up the very suspicious looking bruises that would be on her wrists come the morning.

Belle gasped as her wet body hit the air, it was so cold and it was such a bad idea to jump into the water with a white shirt on, not matter if she had a tank top underneath. She wrapped her arms around herself and shivered.

“Th-the girl, is sh-sh-she okay?” Belle stuttered against her own chattering teeth before a body-warmed leather jacket was placed on her shoulders.

“The brat'll be fine,” the growling voice stated and Belle looked up at the four men around her. It was too weird.

“G-g-going to a c-c-c-con?” she asked and the men looked at her curiously.

“What?” the bald guy who must have helped her up asked in confusion. The handsome man with the three scars and funky tattoos scratched his face and Belle's eyes widened at the sight of his watch.

“Oh no, I'm going to be late!” she cried before rushing to her feet.

“Don't forget these,” a smooth voice said and Belle barely noticed the man holding her bags and shoes.

“Thank you so much!” she cried before racing off.

 

“I'm not so sure about this mission,” Hisagi muttered and Yumichika nodded. Something about the woman being a soul eating monster and going out of her way to save a strange child when she could have easily avoided it just didn't add up.

“Yeah, something doesn't make sense,” Kenpachi growled as he held Yachiru close.

 

~*~*~*~

 

The flight had been long, sixteen plus grueling hours confined to a non smokers flight, Sanzo was getting more irritable by the minute without being able to smoke, he'd had five in the thirty minute stop off in LAX while they shifted from the international terminal to the domestic… but now they were finally outside and through customs at the New-York airport.

 

Gojyo watched as J'dee pulled her bag along. “Belle's going to be waiting for me… you still have the address right Hakkai?”

Hakkai smiled. “Yes I do, don't worry.”

“Then wait for a couple of days till Jet lag wears off then look me up. We'll try to figure out a way to get you home I promise… just enjoy the western country and trrrrrry not to stick out like a sore thumb.” She smiled at them.

“Take care.” Hakkai smiled as she raced through to the other side where Belle was waiting for her.

 

Sanzo looked on. “Her friend is in the file Hakkai we already know where she lives why did you take that note?”

“Because if I didn't and said she was in the file what do you think her reaction might have been?” He replied with a smile.

Gojyo nodded. “Good point, we couldn't let her know that two of her friends are targets as well…”

“So what's western food like?” Goku interrupted.

Sanzo hit him over the back of the head. “Shut up!”

Hakkai just smiled at Gojyo. “They come in threes so the saying goes.”

“What comes in threes?” Goku asked.

“Power or death normally…” Gojyo replied.

Goku looked up at the three of them their faces serious. “We're still not going to kill her are we?”

“No but that doesn't mean her friends aren't in danger Goku.” Hakkai pointed out. “Or something else might.”

 

~*~*~*~

 

After J'dee had gone to bed around dusk, Belle had headed out to gather a few other supplies her friend had mentioned needing. Primarily fresh lamb so she could enjoy her favorite treat. Belle was walking to the store when she passed the spot where the little girl had fallen. It was a secondary thought, Belle walked over to look at the railing.

“I hope she's okay,” Belle whispered. She had run from the site so quickly so she could take a shower and get going to pick J'dee up on time.

“The brat's fine,” a familiar growling voice stated and Belle jumped, whipping around to see the huge man from earlier. The little girl was perched on his shoulder grinning broadly and Belle blinked.

“Oh…I'm glad to hear that,” Belle stated. “You weren't too cold after were you?”

“Nope, nope!” the girl chirped and Belle smiled.

“Well, I'm glad to hear that. Remember to avoid playing on guardrails from now on,” Belle stated, watching the two carefully. If this monster of a man was this girl's father, he was horribly irresponsible. It was better not to say anything. “I need to head out now.” Belle began walking toward the store when she noticed the cute man with the scars approaching.

“I won't!” the girl chirped as Belle noticed the bald guy coming from the other way. All she could think of was a bad horror movie.

“We should talk,” the big man growled and Belle let her anger come to the surface. If you're going to go down, go down in flames she thought.

“No, no we shouldn't talk,” Belle stated as she turned to the big man and put her hands on her hips. “You are one of the most irresponsible parents I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. Your daughter was wondering around on the edge of a bridge!”

 

The three shinigami froze for a moment, preparing for the human disguise to fall away and reveal the soul eating monster underneath.

“She could have been killed if I didn't jump in after her. You are a disgrace to the parental world. Do you know how it kills some people not to have children and you're willing to let this beautiful child risk her life because you can't grasp how precious she is?” the woman stated, actually jamming a finger into Kenpachi's chest to emphasize her point. “You should be ashamed of yourself!”

“Is that all?” Kenpachi asked, preparing for a battle and the woman looked shocked.

“That's not enough?” she gasped as if he was insane.

“Look! If you want to raise your daughter like this is fantasy world that's your business but if you don't raise her safely I will call Child Protective Services on you!” Belle cried. “I really don't care if you want to play Shinigami, but you better watch out for that kid!” The giant cosplayer blinked for a moment and Belle was shocked as he caught her by the neck and lifted her off her feet.

“Captain!” the bald man cried rushing to the giant man's side.

“I'm not playing, woman!” the massive Kenpachi snarled and Belle began to fear that something impossible was real.

“Captain Kenpachi,” the Hisagi spoke and Belle blinked in shock as she dug her nails into the wrist holding her up. “She's no match for you, Sir.”

“I noticed, she's no Espada,” Kenpachi snarled and Belle felt her vision narrowing as her oxygen supply began to diminish. It was a lucky kick that caught the huge man in the nuts. Instincts kicked in and Belle rolled away from where the large man was on three limbs cupping his wounded body part with his remaining limb.

“Wow, Ken-chan, she got you in one kick,” the little girl said standing right next to the man.

“Shit, Captain, that woman ain't no threat,” Ikkaku stated and Belle looked at them.

“You can't be real,” she whispered and Hisagi approached.

“We should talk,” he stated and Belle nodded. She would back at the apartment long before J'dee noticed she was gone…and she would have to go to the store tomorrow to pick up the lamb.

 

~*~Time lapse a week later~*~

 

J'dee heard Belle call out that the phone was for her and walked to see the look. “It's a guy… you haven't been anywhere to give out our number have you?”

She shook her head. “Uh no… just work… and I'm not THAT stupid.” She remarked and took the phone. “Hello.”

“Heeeeeeeeeey Honey.”

“Oiy what are you doing calling me at this time of day?!” She hissed seeing Belle looking on with crossed arms and an unimpressed look on her face.

“I'm bored.” Gojyo remarked from the other end.

J'dee sighed. “I'm not entertaining you.”

“Actually Hakkai's going out for supplies and well he doesn't really know where to go.”

“And you think I do I've been here a weekish.”

“You're going to come out and help us shop beautiful.”

“What? Why?!”

“Because I'm sending the monkey over if you don't… I've been looking on this internet thing… seems people know about us here… that's how you knew. Does Belle know? Imagine what she would think? She'd think you were going crazy… wouldn't she?”

J'dee clutched at the phone cord and saw Belle looking at her. “Bastard that's black mail.”

“Ooooooh yeah…. By the way Sanzo moved us in two doors down, we'll be staying in the same building on the same floor as you and Belle…. Sooooooo… that means when Sanzo wants to get the stick out of his ass and figure this why they want to kill you thing out you don't have to go too far.” J'dee was sure she could hear a smirk in his voice.

Her head dropped defeated. “Bloody hell Gojyo…” She hissed. “Can't you just like wait till she's gone to work before you annoy me?” She whispered.

“Where's the fun in that? It'll be an adventure.” He purred. “Oooh and I got my own room here too so anytime you wanna come over beautiful.”

“I'm NOT sleeping with you perv! I'm hanging up now!” She slammed the phone down and rubbed her head.

“Gojyo…” Belle remarked from beside her. “What are you keeping from me?”

“Nothing just this guy pestering me, we meet at the airport, he uuh reminds me of Gojyo.” J'dee smiled sheepishly.

“So you call him Gojyo?”

“I don't actually know his name.”

“You mean he told you and you forgot?”

J'dee smiled. “Yeeeeah something like that.”

 

They stopped at the sound of a knock at the door.

“Heeeeey J'dee! You in there! Sanzo said you had to come over now!”

Belle looked at J'dee. “Gojyo… Sanzo?” Her eyes went flat.

“They're cos-players…” She ran to the door. “Got to go see you!” She raced out the door and Belle blinked seeing her grab a teenage boy.

“ARGH Hey J'deeeee!!!” he complained.

Belle raised a brow. “You are so keeping something from me.”

 

~*~*~*~

 

“I guess it's only fair,” Belle sighed as she opened the window to see a familiar group of men hanging out by the corner. Today it was Renji, Kira, and Hisagi, Belle sighed. Someone was out to kill her from another dimension, if only she could tell J'dee, but she couldn't think of a way to do that that wouldn't make her look insane.

Belle took a few minutes to fix a few sandwiches, grab a bag of chips and a thermos of water. She walked out of the apartment before getting a whiff of cigarette smoke. It was probably that blond man a few doors smoking in the hallway again. Didn't that asshole know there was no smoking in the hallways? She gave a few exaggerated coughs as she walked by his door before heading outside.

“Hey Belle,” Renji called as she approached what looked like two punks about to beat up on a metro sexual.

“Here you go,” Belle sighed as she handed over the lunch she prepared. “You guys need to stop shadowing me so closely. Can't you go all invisible shinigami or something?”
“Strangely it's not working in this world,” Kira stated as he took a sandwich from Renji. “We need to stay close, who knows what will happen when they realize we're not going to kill you.”
“I just don't like keeping this from J'dee,” Belle sighed before turning to go back in. “Just leave the thermos on the balcony tonight.” With that Belle went back inside to get ready to go to school to grade.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Tobias hummed as he finished staining the hand railing on his porch. He bobbed his head in time with the radio he had blaring, enjoying his work. With the rise in housing costs, he had sought a place of his own. He stumbled upon this place on his drive to his best friend's house. Now to J'dee and Mabelle's horror, he only lived ten minutes away from their shared house. He had the large piece of land surrounding his house, just as he always dreamed. Granted 10 acres wasn't much but it was all his, and the thick woods on every bit of his property except for the acre surrounding the house obscured him from view. The beaten dirt driveway came up to the modest two care garage built onto the side of the ranch style home. It had three bedrooms, each of a decent size, a den, living room, large kitchen with connecting dining room, two large bathrooms, and a basement that ran the entire span of the house, excluding the garage. It had taken him months of hard labor, with help from his friends. But it was all worth it, and he was just finishing the back porch that would face the setting sun and was connected to the pool he had installed.

Tobias finished staining the railing on the steps leading to the yard and set the brush down. He capped what was left of the stain and strolled into his yard to admire his home. He smiled happily to himself. His entire life savings, gone, but the house shone. It truly was a quaint little bachelor pad. No bushes or flowers lined the house, just a large and lush lawn of grass that came right up to the edge of the house. Tobias smiled and took in a deep breath, smelling his fresh cut lawn and the smell of wood finish.

`This,' he thought to himself, `is what heaven is like.'

And it was at the moment that something came crashing down and through his roof, and shook the ground like an explosion.

~*~*~*~

J'dee lent against the door shooting the four a look. “Do you four want to get me busted?” She hissed.
“'Ch.” Sanzo just scoffed. “Like we care what you look like to your friends.”
“What you mean like I'm going completely mental? Belle already thinks I'm a munter no need to give her more evidence here… She's my best and closest friend.”
“A cute one at that.” Gojyo added.
J'dee bopped him over the back of the head. “No don't mis-behave!”

Hakkai just chuckled and he smiled at the dirty look Gojyo shot J'dee, he probably wasn't used to women telling him off about his womanizing.
“Now Miss J'dee about this shopping?” Hakkai smiled at her.
Sanzo saw her sigh her head dropping defeated.
“Seriously I can't find my way out of a paper bag Hakkai I don't think I'd do any good here. I'm still trying to get used to the accents.” J'dee sighed as she looked down.
Hakkai flashed her a pleasant smile. “Can you read a map?”
“Of course I'm not that much of a Ryoga Hibiki.”
“Then all is well… C'mon honey…” Gojyo slipped an arm over her shoulder.

~*~*~*~

Tobias coughed as he made his way into the house. Dust filled the air and obscured his vision. He waved his hand in front of him, trying to see. He couldn't see any flames, and it didn't feel hot in the house. He hoped his insurance covered this. He made his way into the house, and froze when he heard voices.

“Hello?” A fit of coughing. “Hello, is anyone there? We need help!” It was a young man's voice, and he sounded panicked. Think the impossible must have happened, Tobias made his way threw the smoke, now trying to get the people in danger.

“I'm on my way! How did you end up coming through my roof?” Tobias called, trying to keep the boy talking. The dust was clearing and Tobias was able to make out his living room. He headed right, towards the hall, where the voice had come from.

“I'm not sure, we were on the plane heading for Tokyo 2 and then we were falling!” The boy said, and began coughing again. Tobias made his way down the hall, checking the rooms. He stopped at the second guest room, and his eyes widened in shock at the sight before him.

“Please!” Shinji Ikari begged. “You have to help Misato and the little girl!”

 

~*~*~*~

 

Outside the boy's apartment, J'dee pinned Goku up against the wall. “Goku what do you think you were doing announcing Sanzo's name like that right outside my door?!” She demanded.

Goku blinked. “But Sanzo said to get you.”

J'dee let Goku go. “What did he want?”

Goku held up an empty packet of smokes. “He wants to know if you can get his brand here.”

“GAAAAH!” J'dee twitched. “Goddamnstupidpissymonkishetryingtoexposehimself?!” She blurted out.

Goku looked at her. “So can you?”

“Yeah sure.” She looked to the side seeing Goku look down the hall.

“Hey is that your room mate?” The teenager asked.

 

J'dee looked down seeing Belle lock the door up and she shoved Gojyo and Goku in the door.

“Hey watch it beautiful!” Gojyo snapped.

Hakkai just stood in front of them smiling as Belle walked past and she looked at J'dee. “Okay I'm off you got your keys?” Belle asked as she passed.

“Yeah.” J'dee nodded.

“I have some tests that have to be marked at school I'll be a little bit late.”

J'dee nodded and blinked seeing the flash of a black tank top and black jeans down the far end of the hall and spiky red hair. “Belle what the hell is that?”

Belle looked over her shoulder seeing the flash. “Just a figment of your imagination… and mine.” She stated and looked at Hakkai.

J'dee looked at Hakkai as he pleasantly smiled at her adjusting his glasses.

“Are you the man whose been harassing her?” Belle's eyes narrowed.

Hakkai just continued to smile. “Me oh no I'm terribly sorry about him, he's my roommate I'll make sure to have him behave properly in future.”

“Oiy! What's wrong with the way I behave?!” Gojyo shouted in the background before the sound of something hitting him echoed out in to the hall.

“Shut the hell up!”

“Hahaha Gojyo you got hit!”

“Shut up you stupid monkey!”

“Argggggh OW! Sanzo, Gojyo's being an ass again.”

Belle blinked and looked at J'dee, even though she couldn't see in the door J'dee knew she knew the names. “Cos-players?” She asked.

J'dee smiled. “Uh yeah cos-players…”

Belle nodded and walked off down the hall. “See you tonight.”

 

Hakkai just smiled. “I suppose that probably could have gone better.”

J'dee let out a breath. “I give up… Hakkai why couldn't it just have been you? Because are those other idiots trying to expose themselves?”

Sanzo's eyebrow twitched. “Hakkai make a note for us to extend our rental agreement to two months.”

“WHAT?!” J'dee looked at Hakkai who just smiled. “Jerkwad don't you dare!”

“Come along Gojyo… J'dee's going to show us where we can get the supplies from, because two weeks of eating out is not healthy.” Hakkai smiled.

“But I like the burger places here!” Goku protested.

“Sure they are… if you like eating grease and with this body and no demons to kill I'm going to loose this killer bod, unless I can get a little bedroom work out.” Gojyo grinned at J'dee.

Hakkai smiled seeing J'dee's flat eyes. “Perhaps it might be best we tell Miss Belle the truth?”

“Wait a week at least please Hakkai.” She let her head drop.

Gojyo lent on the doorway next to Hakkai and grinned. “Ooooh yeah you want me.”

Hakkai just let out a nervous laugh. “Now, now Gojyo behave.”

J'dee sighed and shot Gojyo a look. “I'm going out with Toby and Belle for drinks tomorrow night, I promised him we would go, so please DO NOT follow me.”

Hakkai smiled. “We I'm afraid your life may still be at risk, but when we grab supplies if you could help us pick out clothes that don't stand out as much it would be much appreciated.”

“Gojyo is fine.” J'dee stated.

“I know I am.” Gojyo flashed her a grin.

“Not like that!” J'dee shot. “Sanzo needs to loose the robes, and probably change his top every so often.”

“I heard that!” Sanzo snapped from inside. “Hakkai make it six months!”

J'dee's eye twitched in annoyance. “You know what screw it we'll get your damn supplies bring them back then you're all coming out with me and we're changing EVERYONE's wardrobe, I'm not risking anything.”

Hakkai smiled. “It sounds like a plan.”

 

~*~*~*~

 

“What were you doing IN the building?” Belle hissed and Renji shrugged.

“You were taking longer than normal, we got worried,” he stated and Belle sighed.

“J'dee's getting harassed by one of our new asshole neighbors,” Belle sighed. “They're weird, I think they might be like you.”

“Maybe we should tell her,” Renji suggested and Belle nodded.

“Give it another day, J'dee and I are going out with Toby, it'll be the first time we've all been able to go out together with no stress,” Belle sighed and Renji nodded. “Then we'll discuss letting the shinigami out of the bag.”

“Why not, she can't be hiding anything as big as us right?” Renji asked and Belle smiled.

“I guess not,” she said before heading out.

 

~*~*~*~

 

“Trust me Shinji, if we wake the red-head up, she'll be able to help Misato.” Tobias assured the frighten Evangelion pilot. His mind still reeling, Tobias had checked on Misato and rolled her off the girl. As he suspected from the crab styled hair, it was indeed Washu. Misato didn't appear to have any wounds except for the large bump on her forehead. She was wearing a large containment suit and Shinji was in his plug suit. The best Tobias could figure, whatever had brought them to life had brought them here during the flight over to stop Jet Alone. But that didn't explain how Washu was here. Perhaps an experiment of hers got out of control? Tobias shook his head. No that wasn't possible, she had to be real in the first place for that to happen!

“Little Washu. Little Washu!” Tobias said, gently patting the super genius's cheeks. The goddess wearing a girl's body groaned and her eyes fluttered open. She gazed up into Tobias's face who was peering down at her.

“Um....hi?” he said stupidly. Washu screamed and hit him with a wicked right hook to the jaw. Tobias reeled back, and tumbled into the dresser, where the back of his head hit with a sickening crack. The last thing he saw before he blacked out, was Shinji and Washu's horrified expressions.

J'dee was inwardly wishing she wasn't such a good person that she didn't cast a spell or something on the asshole monk back at the apartment. She looked round the supermarket and Hakkai looked at the list pushing the trolley grabbing a few things from the shelf while telling Goku no to some items and yes to others.

J'dee had completely and thankfully lost track of Gojyo till she turned round he corner in one of the isles to find him flirting with a girl. Shaking her head she walked right past them before reaching for a cereal box of corn flakes and pulling it down.

The one thing she had come to hate about other countries that weren't her home was everything was massively supersized and she hated it, for some one used to small and medium sized packages. Supersized just seemed to infuriate her.
She thoroughly looked through the shelf. Sighing seeing there was a one meal packet and then a large and supersized packet but nothing in a medium size.
“Just grin and bare it.” She told herself before turning round seeing Hakkai pulling Gojyo away from the woman by his ear, she smirked. It was worth the cornflake hunt to see that.
Goku looked at her as Hakkai pulled Gojyo past. “Hey we're going to pay for this now you coming?!” He grinned seeing her expression. “Worth it wasn't it?”
“How often does that happen?” She asked.
“Allllll the time.” Goku laughed. “Normally Sanzo's around to hit him with the fan. Then sometimes Hakkai just glares and Gojyo stops. But other times when he wants to be polite he does that.”
J'dee just nodded. “Well then we'll get the smokes then we're done.”

When Tobias regained consciousness he saw Washu sitting in her cushion, taping on her holographic keyboard which hovered over Misato.

“Oh, good, you're awake.” Washu said. She was typing away and nodding to herself. Tobias groaned and winced as a headache hit him full force. He sat up slowly, and noticed Shinji sitting in a corner, watching Washu with a mixture of fear and awe.

“No thanks to you.” Tobias muttered. The genius shot him and smirk.

“Oh a little nap does one good every now and then. Now, I assume you had nothing to do with our arrival, since I've scanned your home and found no equipment anywhere nearly advanced enough to rip several people from their home dimensions. And since the boy seems to have his brain scrambled on a regular basis and the purple sleeping beauty over there has a bruise the size of a cantaloupe, I don't think it was them either.”

“Hey!” Shinji protested, getting his feet and looking indigent. Washu just grinned at him.

“I was just teasing spandex king. And your purple guardian is fine, just knocked out.” Washu teased and Tobias laughed. Shinji huffed and picked at the front of his plug suit. Washu turned her attention back to the screen.

“That leaves some one near here, doesn't it Little Washu.” Tobias said, remembering what she liked to be called. Washu raised an eyebrow at him and he gave a sheepish smile.

“Yes, and I'm scanning the surrounding area. So far I haven't-whoa mama!” Washu exclaimed as an image flashed on her screen. She typed something rapidly and shook her head.

“What is it?” Tobias asked. Washu sighed and stepped up from her cushion, it and her holo-computer disappearing.

“I think we have to see this for ourselves. The woman will be fine here for awhile, right?” she asked.

“Yeah, Misato should be fine here. Let's go see what you've found.”

J'dee left the guys stating she needed to put away her groceries before she'd drag them out for some serious clothes shopping.
She opened the cupboard putting the supersized box away with a sigh, the way she ate cereal for breakfast, they'd probably be there three months later.
She carried the carton of smokes in to her room and looked round with a sigh, there was still so much to sort through and unpack and most of it her mother still hadn't sent over yet.
Moving to her poster collection she pulled out a single full metal alchemist poster and then her Advent's Children poster of Zack and Aerith before pinning the two posters up.
“It's a start.” She mused. She totally decided to leave the Saiyuki posters in their container for now.
She heard the knock on her door and jogged to answer it. She stopped seeing a black sport jacket over a deep purple sweater.
“Um can I help you?” She raised a brow seeing the feather extensions coming from one eyebrow and she glanced down the hall.
“Just inquiring if Belle is in.”
“No sorry she had to go in to work.”
“What a truly ugly time to be working.” He stated before walking off leaving J'dee standing there blinking.
“Why did he look like Yumichika?” She shook her head. “Could it be…” She sighed and went back in the apartment to grab her bag and keys.

After walking a few minutes into his woods, they came upon the abandoned barn that rested in the center of the north area of tree in Tobias's property.

“What's with us and landing in buildings?” Washu muttered to herself, and opened the rotted doors. Tobias felt his jaw drop open and Washu had a gleam in her eyes. Shinji just sighed and shook his head.

Sitting in the abandoned barn that had been built years ago before Tobias bought the property, was the mecha Jehuty. Tobias said the only thing he could think of.

“HOLY SHIT!”
