Hello everyone! This is my first FY fan fiction so I hope you like it. I really have missed all the stories where a new girl falls into FY in one way or another and I think everyone has written one... So it's my turn! I hope you like it!

Chichiri:Can I be a main character, no da? Alatáriël: Of course Chichiri!!! You are my favorite after all! You need more screen time... and a little less yaoi (no offence yaoi lovers). Chichiri: *laughs nervously* Alatáriël:Ok, Chichiri! Announce the disclaimers, please, while I go get your co-star. *walks off* Chichiri: Alatáriël doesn't own me or FY... All she really owns is this little purple springy pen, no da. *holds up pen and hears cursing in the back ground* Daaa... On with the show! *vanishes into hat*

Well, isn't this interesting?

Chapter one: W-What happened?!

Kate sat in her room listening to her Fushigi Yugi CD. He mom and dad were fighting again over the phone on the other side of the house. She sighed and flipped threw her volume number 3 of Fushigi Yugi where Chichiri shows up. 'Man, it sure would be nice to get away from here for a while... Where is a fall-into-a-different-and-better-world book when you need it?', she thought. After reading Fushigi Yugi she became a little more than obsessed with the idea of going to a different world of any sort. She glued herself to the fantasy section of book stores looking for them silently hoping one of them would some how suck her in. It never happened, however, and she was starting to wonder if such a thing could exist as a wormhole into a world you desire. One thing she learned in Psychology class was the human brain was a strange and scary place... Anything was possible if you put your mind to it.

She hummed along to the Japanese lyrics. She knew some of the words and it gave her heck in Spanish class. Some times it was just funny. The word for idiot in Japanese was garlic in Spanish. She giggled every time it was mentioned. School was quite routine for her. She wasn't interested in romance and kept to her two best friends Kaley and Lizzie, the only other people in East Tennessee who seemed to even know Chichiri existed. She was brought out of her daydreaming (of Chichiri of course) by her mom smashing something into a wall. She cringed and put down her book. The holidays were always hard times for her and her family. Suddenly her dog, Hunter, ran into the room whining. She watched as he crawled under her desk and shacked. She growled in frustration and shut her door, bracing it with her laundry basket. "I hate this", she mumbled and sat down on her bed again. She flipped threw the manga till she reached her favorite picture of Chichiri. He had his mask off and was smiling at Tamahome and Miaka. "Chichiri needs more screen time... Less Tamahome and Miaka more Chichiri", she said more to herself than her dog.

She flipped threw it once more before putting it away. She yawned and buried her head in her arms listening to Chichiri and Tasuki's song before nodding off. She woke up to the sound of the wind chime outside her window going nuts. She got up and listened for anymore yelling. She didn't hear anything... nothing at all... She walked over to the door and opened it. The house felt very strange and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. She looked herself over in order to make sure she was awake... or not dead. "sneakers, jeans, DBZ t-shirt, glasses, check... She jumped up and down a few times to see if she could fly. "Nope no flying powers for me...dang", she mumbled and walked into the kitchen. The phone was hung up and there was a broken mug shattered on the floor. She jumped over the mug and walked around to the living room. The tree was looming over the presents and she pondered why people killed the tree and brought it inside when you could just decorate the yard.

Walking back to her room she noticed a rainbow like light coming from her window. She walked over to it curiously and opened the pulled up the window shade. Sitting there braced against the window was a straw hat and a brown envelope. She stood there staring at it for a while before her face slowly broke out into a grin. "Either this is the best dream EVER or this is a very mean prank", she concluded and ran around throwing things into her seemingly endless backpack. "I've finally cracked", she told herself. 'Might as well enjoy it!'. After gathering anything she might think important (aka: CD player, CDs, her favorite book, FY volumes 2, 3, and 8, tooth brush, tooth past, dagger (she collects them), female stuff, and deodorant) she took a deep breath and grabbed the envelope. Inside was a single red feather. She felt her mouth run dry and her heart beat speed up. She placed it back in the brown envelope and put it in her backpack then reached for the hat. 'Please, Please, PLEASE let this be what I think it is', she prayed and touched the hat. It was real enough. She flipped it over and looked inside. Closing her eyes, she put her hand inside. It touched the straw. It didn't go threw. She let out a sigh. Before she could fathom what happened a hand shot out of the hat and grabbed onto her arm. She was pulled in before she knew what happened to her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kate opened her eyes slowly and jumped at what she saw. Her face was 3 inches away from one of her favorite anime/ manga characters of all time! All Kate could mention to say was "umm... hi?", to the monk. He seemed to be staring at her, but she couldn't tell with his mask on. When she didn't get a response she took a few steps back and looked around. "Well, Toto we aren't in Tennessee anymore", she said to herself looking at the nice springish weather, "either that or that was the shortest winter known to mankind". She looked over to Chichiri, who had yet to say anything. Suddenly something clicked, "Oh Gods!!! What if this is the Japanese version of Fushigi Yugi?! Damn it! I'm so screwed!", she whined and threw a chibi tantrum. The chibi Kate thrashed around on the ground before noticing Chichiri had a small grin plastered on his face. She looked up at him with tears about to come forth from her eyes. She sniffled and gave him her most pitiful look. "Oh... er... Do you understand me?", Kate asked. Chichiri coughed into his hand which sounded like laughter. "Hai, I understand you... Gomen ne, but I wasn't expecting this... I'm Chichiri, no da!", Chichiri introduced himself. "I'm embarrassed... and my name is Kate", Kate said picking herself off the ground.

'This is going to be weird', Kate thought as she walked down a road next to her favorite monk. 'I never even thought this threw before touching the stupid hat', she thought madly to herself, 'never mind the fact I made a fool out of myself', she blushed and groaned to herself. Chichiri seemed to be in his one little world which was just fine to her... maybe while he wasn't looking she could crawl under a rock and die of total embarrassment. This kind of stuff NEVER happened in the fan fiction she had read on-line. Normally the girls would show up alone, get attacked by something, and wa la! The guys they liked saved them and shortly there after fell in love with them. As for her? She just HAD TO make a total idiot out of herself. 'Where is the rewind button when you need it?', She thought miserably.

After driving herself nuts by getting "This is the song that never ends" stuck in her head she decided it was time to start some conversation. "Ano... Chichiri?", she asked carefully. She didn't want to make a bigger fool out of herself than she already had. "Hai?", Chichiri asked. "Why am I here, anyway?... It's not everyday a hat pulls you into a different world... not that i'm complaining or anything", she said. Chichiri looked at her over his shoulder, or at least she thought he did... damn that mask to heck! "Tai-yu-jun sometimes grants people wishes, no da... Was this something you wished for?" Chichiri asked. Kate stopped in her tracks and stared at Chichiri with her mouth wide open. "She can do that?!" Chichiri stopped and turned toward her. "Anything is possible, Kate-chan, no da... but this is the first time Tai-yu-jun has granted a wish like this... Oh well, no da! Let's get to the palace! You should meet the others, no da!", Chichiri said and continued on, leaving Kate to her thoughts. One thought repeated in her mind, "I hope I don't have to wear a dress"...

*end chapter one*

Alatáriël: Well, I had fun with that! What do you think, Chichiri? Chichiri: You put me in a story with a crazy teenager... How could I NOT feel scared?! Alatáriël: *laughs* Just wait until the next chapter... Chichiri:... You're mean, no da. Alatáriël: *grins* Kate: Stay tuned for the next episode! Same bat time, same bat place! Chichiri: Please review, no da! Kate: You know you want to push the button!!! Alatáriël: I'll give you a Chichiri plushy! Kate: MINNNNNNE! *jumps Alatáriël* Alatáriël: EEEEEKKKKK!
