Okay, sorry it took so long to get this up. You'll be happy to know I'm writing chapter 5 so the only problem now is getting online to update!

Rock-steady13: It's so true! Biomerging is so gross! Why would we want to see them naked? If we did, we'd look for hentai pics.



Disclaimer: yadda yadda yadda I don't own the Tamers ~grin~ but isn't Jen- san amusing?



Ruki POV:

I woke with a groan. What had happened? I remebered punching Lee, and then, there had been this bright light and I had been falling. There was something warm beneath me. I opened my eyes partway and let out a surprised gasp. Lee seemed to have been the thing that had broken my fall. He was still out cold though. I tried to get off him, but his arm had somehow wrapped around my waist in the fall.

"Get up!" I said in a low voice.

When he didn't respond I tried to shake him. He let out a moan, but didn't show any sign of coming too. There was only one thing to do. I raised a hand and slapped him. That woke him up. His eyes flew open.

"What...?" He stopped and stared at me. "Makino?"

"No the tooth fairy." I replied dryly.

"Ha ha." He sat up and I ended up in his lap. "What happened?"

"There was a light, and then I remember falling and I woke up here."

Lee nodded. His grey eyes scanned the area around us. There didn't seem to be much, just trees. A rustle alerted my senses.

"Did you hear that?" I whispered.

Lee mumbled something that I couldn't make out. I reached down for my d- power and had a start.

"Our clothes! They've changed!"

I couldn't believe what I had on. Never had I willingly worn a skirt in my life. It was fairly simple, a dull beige color. A wool sweater of the same color accompainied it. Lee looked down at himself. He too, had undergone a change. Old black pants without one knee along with an old blue sweater. Neither of us had our d-powers. We gaped at each other.

"OK... something strange is going on here." Lee stammered in surprise.

I could only nod.

"Well, isn't this pleasent."

We jumped. A figure emerged from behind a tree.

"Two poor lil love birds out all alone in the middle of the forest..."

The boy couldn't have been much older than us. I glared at him.

"What do you mean?"

He raised an eyebrow. Suddenly I remembered I was still in Lee's lap. Quickly I jumped up.

"Take it back!"

He smirked. Why should I? You're just a girl."

I began to reply, but Lee stood quickly and clamped a hand over my mouth.

"Don't listen to her. She's just... in a bad mood today."

The other boy nodded slowly. I couldn't understand why he listened to Lee and not me. Didn't he know who I was?!

Lee was still talking to the stranger.

"So, where are we?" he asked cautiously.

"You'd be in the outings of the main city." The boy drawled.

Can you tell me, what's today's date?"

"I dunno. 'S the early 1900's s'all I know."

My eyes widened. I struggled to get free from Lee, but he just tightened his grasp. I sighed.

"Thanks. We've got to get going. Which way to the main city?"

"South a lil. You'll see it when yah reach it."

Lee nodded. He hurried me away from the boy to a small path.

"We went back in time." I said in shock.

"I know. The question is how?" Lee got that far away look he always got when he was deep in thought. I waved a hand in front of his face.

"Are we heading to this main city or what?"

Lee scowled. "We're going. Hang on."

I tapped my foot. "Any day now Lee."

Just then my stomach let out a rumble. Lee looked at me, a grin coming onto his face.

"Hungry are we?" He teased.

"Shut up." I raised a fist.

He continued to grin as he turned and began walking down the path. I scrambled after him.

"How do we get back?"

When Lee shrugged I stopped walking.

"You don't know?"

He turned. "Why do you think I would know? You think I planned this?"

His voice had a sharp tone. I didn't like the way it sounded.

"What if I do? You can't do anything to me."

That got him.

"Listen Makino, I'm just as happy about all this as you are. You think I wanted to be sent back in time? And even if I did, you think I'd want YOU as company?"

I pressed my lips together. "This wasn't my idea either you know. You've always been the brains of the group, so start using your head. We have to get home."

Lee didn't answer, just began walking again. I followed behind, glaring at his back. Of all my rotten luck, stuck almost 100 years in the past with HIM. We came to the egde of the hill we'd been walking up. Down below lay a city.

"That doesn't look like a city from the 1900's." I said.

"It looks like something from a fantasy book." Lee agreed.

We looked at each other.

"Maybe we went back in time, but to another country?" I suggested.

He groaned. "Great. Stuck in the past and in a forgien country. We'll never get home."

"Not if we keep standing here. Come on."

I began down the hill toward the city. I didn't care if Lee followed me, but a few moments later I heard his footsteps. We made our way down the incline to the busy streets of the city below. I hoped that we'd find a way back, and soon.
