*Seisetsu*
Blake stood in the hallway watching Jera on the phone, he held his special bag of sugar in one hand and Juju in the other. He looked down at the skateboard. Jera seemed focused on bringing him to this barbecue, he frowned and scratched his head, he wanted to go he really did, but the possibility of making that sensitive girl sick at the sight of him made him not want to go. But he knew Jera, she would fit in well here as a DBZ female, she was stubborn as anything. He watched as her tail lashed about behind her, which meant she had obviously gotten upset with something said over the phone. He heard her sigh in defeat.
"Look I don't have to go, if they don't want me." Blake said trying to make it easier.
"Hey and leave you alone? I think not." She scolded.
Blake shrugged and he looked in to Gohan's room where the bed for him had been set up and he saw Jera's bag. He looked at her. "Can I look through your bag?"
She nodded. "Yeah sure." Her voice faded off as he wandered in to the room and he picked up Jera's bag and began going through it, hopefully to find something interesting.
He pulled out a cuddly white soft toy bunny wearing a red bandanna and a jacket with 'Goten' embodied on the back, he put the bunny on the bed pulled out Jera's laptop he opened it up and he saw her cell phone and he grabbed the cables and hooked everything up, he was going to go nosing through her computer and he brought up her music files he blinked. "R and B.... typical..."
He found her rock folder and opened it up. "Marilyn Manson... nice." He rolled his eyes and scrolled some more, he found nothing really interesting and skipped to another music folder finding a cartoon song remix she'd done featuring Hades from Disney's Hercules. He grinned. She worshipped the God of the underworld. He clicked on the song to let it play out and then went back to going through her bag and pulled out a big black leather bound book with 'Book of Shadows' on the front and spine, he flipped it open and read the inside of the cover.
'Book Blessing'
I ask the Lord and Lady to guide my hand,
over the seas and the land,
to empower my spells for all things right,
through the hard times and the light,
let all those who see
the truth of power within thee.
Powers that be, powers that see,
powers that control the three times three,
Bless this book with powers beyond thee,
keep the magick safe from all
who wish to harm me.
May this blessing not reverse
and place upon me any curse.
as I wish it, mote it be.
Blake closed the book and he looked at Jera still on the phone. He then went back to going through her bag when his hand felt the energy and power of something stronger. He pulled out a red like book and blinked when he looked at it, in this animated world, it
looked almost like a real book but he knew it wasn't and he read the spine of the book.
'The Clow.'
Blake placed the book down and he opened up the latched and pulled out the cards looking at them.
'She actually has these?' He thought to himself and chuckled.
He saw he look in at him and she smiled and flashed him the typical anime victory sign. "Like my cards?" She asked him
Blake nodded. "Are you actually talking to someone?"
"No.... The phone's ringing through and I'm annoying like that. I'll like let it ring until it automatically disconnects."
"Just try again later, don't be a child." Blake remarked.
"Gah call waiting..." He heard Jera complain and she flicked the call over. "Yo this is Gohan's phone something chronic. Your calling here so it's on your bill not his so wassssssssup?"
Blake chuckled. She had some way to answer the phone.
"Oh you're kidding me!" Blake watched as Jera slapped her forehead. She looked at Blake. "Molly's literary been split in half." She remarked to him.
"Molly is?" Blake asked scratching his head.
"She's the one with the black and white cat." He saw her smirk, "Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Postman Pat and his black and white cat-" She began to sing.
"Oh.... so she's got a good half and a bad half now?" He asked interrupting her singing of the old British children's show.
Jera nodded. "Vegeta's sent Goku out to get her."
Blake rolled his eyes. "Typical Vegeta doing chores is hard enough to picture as it is, but actually helping one of us." He sighed. 'I wonder who she's talking to?'
He watched Jera's expression change suddenly. "Oh no way you're kidding me!! Trunks have you told your dad?" There was a pause. "Well I think you better tell your dad about your mother's body swap.... what do you mean you're busy?"
"Is that Mirai?" Blake asked growling. He hated that guy... Killing Eighteen had done it for him. He saw Jera shake her head.
"Nah ordinary Trunks. He just got back from a dragonball hunt with one of the other authors cause it got to dark."
"Did they find any?" Blake asked.
Jera shrugged. "None of my concern." She looked back to the phone. "Okay Trunks who's going to bring your little sister, Pan, Seventeen, Marron and Vegia back from the past if you're mother is refusing to work on the time machine now that BananaGirl's-" She stopped she was obviously interrupted in mid sentance.
Blake watched Jera rub her temples. "Yep fine, you better know what you're doing though, I'd hate to be sent anywhere that I can't get back form because who's going to watch over the nut bar authors that are running loose here if I vanish?"
Blake watched her sigh. "Yeah I guess I trust you Trunks, okay see you tomorrow afternoon. Bye." She changed the call back over.
"No one's still answering!" Jera exclaimed after five minutes and hung up the phone.
Gohan walked out in to the hallway. "Finally and I thought Goten was a phone hog."
Jera sighed. "Hey it's not like the phone was for you anyways..."
Blake watched Gohan sigh, there was something definitely forming there, but both seem to deny it for the simple fact of Videl, Blake guessed.
"Hey what's with the Clow Cards?" Blake called out.
Jera blinked and looked at him. "I use them for tarot cards, hey if Cate Blancett can use those star triangle mind ready psychic type thingie cards for her readings why can't I use the clow deck? Besides they work I've given them my magickal energy, cleansed them and I've done readings with them."
"Do people take you seriously cause you use a deck that was created for an anime?"
"Hey everyone has their own original deck eventually, this one more suits my persona of the anime freak I want to be but can't cause my stupid country doesn't get many."
"Yeah like Fushi Yuugi!!" Blake pumped his fist in the air.
Jera blinked. "I still don't know what that anime is."
Blake fell off the bed in an anime style.

*Maria Cline*
The egg absorbed the nutrients and natural magic around it. Slowly but surely it grew and grew until it was five feet tall. If one could see what was inside, that person would see a small figure asleep and growing. The figure stirred and looked up. It held it's hands onto the shell and it exploded.
The light faded and in the middle was a tall woman. She had long black hair, dark sunglasses, and soft light green skin. Her eyes were neon green on black and her outfit was a green and black set of tight armour. "Whoa... what a trip." The woman commented as she held her head. The last thing she remembered was getting on to play a game on the computer.
"Weird..." She looked at her outfit and gasped. "Oh man, I wish I have a mirror."
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a full length mirror appeared before her. Marie glanced at the figure and turned around. "I'm a babe, and I don't need my glasses any more!" She squeaked when she looked around. "But... what happened to me? I wish I know."
Suddenly, a flash of memories came to her and she gasped. "Oh my Kami! What did I do?! And Lady Seru is out there with half of my power! I gotta stop her!" She posed dramatically. "But how?" Then, she snapped her fingers. "Got it! I'll just go to some of the other authors and see if they can help me." She reached outward and sensed a group of strong powers gathering. "Cool... there's a gathering coming up! I can meet lots of people there!" She put her fingers on her forehead and vanished.
(A.N: if anyone wants to meet me, just e-mail me.)

*J'dee*
I walked in to the bedroom and I saw Gohan give me this odd look before I shut the door leaving him to the lounge. I felt kinda bad shutting him out like that, but then again he had yelled at me. I hate it when people yell at me.
"Wanna do me a reading?" He asked and handed the clow cards over to me. I took them and began to shuffle them up quickly and handed them to him.
"Shuffle ask the deck ask question in your head if you want it to be private." I yawned.
Blake shuffled the cards, "Tired?" He asked me while shuffling.
"It's true how Sakura was using up all her magickal energy on Card Captors, that happens to us all. Mine for some reason is just being drained."
"That's cause you pulled my bag of sugar through dimensions." Blake handed the deck back to me.
I shuffled one more time and handed them back to him. "Yeah I guess, but salt is more powerful than sugar."
"Salt, I like salt just not in large quantities like sugar." Blake looked at the cards. "So what do I do now?"
"Split the deck in to three, face down then put it back together in whatever order you want." I explained. "Salt it has a lot of magickal qualities, for example you need salt to cleanse water before doing a ritual that involves the use of water. And Salt is used for creation of a magickal circle. If I had used actual salt for my magickal working instead of hot chips salt I might of actually only pulled myself through and not a handful of others."
Blake did I explained and he nodded at that. "I've found that stuff interesting, but I don't really know much about it." He slid the deck across the bed and back to me.
I took the deck and placed down seven cards in a horse shoe shape. I stopped as I felt a nudging in my mind and Blake looked at me.
"Present to future." I point at the cards right to left, "Spooks are telling me to tell you now." Blake just nodded. "I got in to this for all the wrong reasons. I wanted evil, I wanted people to hate me and I wanted to hate everyone, I wanted dark, I wanted death, I was so mentally messed up, I was seeing things, sensing things and my energies were off the scale, I had all this anger and this foreign strength. Turned out I was possessed for three years of my life, and I can't remember a thing about those three years. A year after
I got in to this, what ever it was left me and I stayed doing this, I may of initiated for all the wrong reasons, but I stayed for all the right ones."
I flipped the cards over and looked at him and stayed silent calling on powers to help me translate the reading. I felt Blake staring at the deck.
"You asked a question regarding this world and your alliance didn't you?"
Blake nodded. "Yeah."
"Well okay since this is the Clow Deck I'll explain in terms of the show... Julian / Yue. Seisetsu / Blake except with this other side comes out it's evil and when you're Seisetsu, as you are now, you'll find yourself gathering energy, be it in large quantities of food," I motioned to the bag of sugar, "or sweets," Blake clutched the bag, "for when you will turn. When you change back to Sei you probably won't have any recollection of what's happened. It's like a possession in a way."
Blake nodded. "So I possess myself?" He asked.
"The whole Kami Piccolo thing. Except you don't split in two."
"Neat." Blake grinned.
I frowned. "Neat?"
"Well yeah."
"You're a Goth head aren't you?"

*Katrrina Vixen*
Watching Gohan take the two authors home, she sighed.
(I've finally met Goku AND Vegeta, now this is fun!) She thought, unravelling her tail, she swished it to and fro. Smiling, she walked into capsule Corp.
"Hello....wow, this place is big!"
"What do you want?" Vegeta asked, Kitty jumped and almost tumbled over.
Cursing, she brushed herself down and crossed her arms.
"Somewhere to sleep!"
"Well try somewhere else!" Vegeta growled, Kitty smiled, she wondered how many veggie fans would have wormed their way into sleeping at Capsule Corp.
"Well, in that case. When you see J'dee, tell her to contact me. I should be able to get here pretty fast!" walking to the door, she glanced back.
See ya, Gorgeous!" She added, powering up and flying off.
"Wow, a cat that can fly....teehee...DBZ RULEZ!!!!!" she cried, flying at high speed through the clouds. Not watching where she was going, she crashed into something.
"Oof....Hey....Huh." Looking up, she saw a very long pole reaching up into the clouds above her. Smiling, she flew up, singing.
"I'm gonna meet Dende, I'm gonna meet Dende!"
"Well, hello there." Called a voice. Katrrina stopped and looked around.
"Korrin?" she called, sure enough, there stood the guy. White, fluffy and well, a cat.
"WOW, KORRIN!" Kitty cheered, spinning around and making her tail swish. She landed beside him,
"You seem to know me, may I ask who you are?" He asked politely. Kitty blushed.
After telling Korrin all about her decent into dbz, he smiled.
"Are there any others?" He asked, his voice calm and smooth. Kitty nodded.
"Probably loads. How many people would love to be here!" Korrin shrugged. Sensing a presence behind her, Kitty shuddered. (Yajarobi, oh what fun!)
"Hey Yajarobi, what's shakin'?" She called, The short, fat man approached her, watching her tail with interest.
"And you are?" He asked, Kitty smiled.
"Miss Katrrina Vixen. Tall, gorgeous and fun to be around." Smiling an evil smile, she placed her hands on her hips. Yajarobi looked her leather cat suit up and down and laughed.
"Hey, What's so funny fatso!?" She snapped. Korrin smiled.
"Now, Yajarobi." he began, Yajarobi stopped laughing and grunted. Katrrina shook her wild red hair loose from around her ears.
"Humph... Well, I can't stick around! Korrin, pleased to meet you."
"And you, Miss Vixen." Korrin replied. As Kitty rose to the air, she smiled.
"Laters!" And she was gone.
