New York City

The Temple was almost abandoned if not for the fact the efforts of some philanthropists caused monks to agree to flock to the place hidden off in the land of China, namely a part of the country strongly influenced by Buddhism where it would be an acceptable idea. Looking over his shoulders quickly, Jack was looking around. only a couple torches were lit, as well as the two candles he placed on the altar along with some Jewelry/Jewels, some food, and finally, a small unlit candle. This one he put his finger on, and breathing carefully, Ki began to flow out, a small couple of sparks of what could only be tiny amounts of Bio Electricity at first, before a full, Dark Blue Flame burned.

Pulling his hand back, and then putting that one with his other in prayer, he looked towards the ground, away from the small statue of the First Horseman.

"Oh Mighty Tenumako…" He spoke clearly, and at fair volume. "Grant me the Ki that can Devastate Earth, and All the Planets. The Strength to Crush Evil and claim victory in honorable combat Speed fast enough to be unseen, and Agility to leap to the Heavens. The power bestowed to you by all the Gods, and the Great Mother Gaia!"

All the other flames in the room went out as the dark blue flame in front of him burned brightly, showing a constantly changing figure. One minute it was a warrior, the next a thin figure who appeared to be washing itself. The first was male, and almost resembled the mini statue, while the second was almost feminine in nature. A small flame that appeared as a Heart Shape appeared from the top of the fire of the candle, separating and disappearing as a light began to appear. Shutting his eyes nervously, Jack prepared for the appearance of the First Tenumako Heavenly Rider behind him on his Warhorse, A Giant Tiger.

Larayna was in the bathroom of her father's palace, washing herself. She had been forced to go to a grand ball all day and felt disgusting from all the make-up and dancing and even worse, the nasty, slobbery kisses of the guys she danced with. As was custom, she was entitled to reward each male she danced with with a kiss, and most of them were horrible at it. Not to mention, she danced with at least 18 different guys. Disgusting.

All of a sudden, she heard a voice. It was deep and enchanting, calling for the ki of her father to grant the speaker power. Then her world went black and, bewildered, she fell through the sky towards Earth.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed, tumbling through nothing but air straight towards the ground. Subconsciously she must have knew she was in danger so she was followed by all the water in her bath which provided some amount of comfort for her landing. Which happened to be on her head on the cold hard ground of what seemed to be a temple. Confused, in pain, and clothed very little by dress of pure water, she sat up and looked at the knight before her. "Hello?" she said. "What am I doing here?"

Jack watched the form land on the ground before him while he leaped back. even being simply clumsy, the half Asura had just committed a great speed feat. Jack wiped some little trickles of sweat as he tried to regain his breath. There was an angelic, beautiful form before him: A young woman. No older than he was. Her body was well noticeable, especially with her supernatural garb that was made of water that seemed to hover and/or stick onto her skin. the bathing suit areas had dark sea water as covering, the rest being fresh, clear water.

Regaining his composure, he put his hands together again, and bowed.

"I was summoning a great being!" He explained. "That being and I would be together for quite some time to do important things!"

Unfortunately, he meant the Tenumako horseman and his training. It sounded more like he wanted to marry Larayna and "Do the Act."

"I'm not quite sure if the request was granted though…" He said humbly/innocently, looking up at her once more.

Larayna looked up at him, her eyes growing wide. His voice must have been the one that she heard. He called to her. She felt like it must be fate for them to be together. A huge grin grew on her face and she jumped up at him, wrapping her arms and legs around his torso and rubbing her head against his chest.

"You must be the one who called me! I was in Daddy's palace bathing, and heard a voice calling, and now I'm here. Oh you must be the one!" she exclaimed happily. Indeed, he was so much different than all of the boys that she was introduced to. They were all princes and gods and all had proper personalities. But he was so different. He excited her. And now she got to be his wife! At least that's what she figured he had called her for.

"Oh, I'll be so happy with you! And you're so cute too," she went on to say. She was glowing with joy and her ocean eyes sparkled as if they were alive and in motion. "My name is Larayna, but you can just call me Lar. What's yours?"

The girl had leaped onto him, the water now soaking the Karate Gi he had worn to appear as a warrior to honor the Tenumako. She began going on about bathing in her 'Daddy's' Palace, and hearing a voice calling, HIS voice most likely. He tried to kindly take her off, and wrap her in some clothes from his bag. he eventually dropped onto his back from the weight, and looked up at the girl...

"Oh, I'll be so happy with you! And you're so cute too~!"

Her Joyful eyes, which were like the Ocean, glowed and her soft body against his, including her buxom chest, which was separated by his Gi top and shirt. The girl was saying something about being happy with him, and how he was really cute.

"Jack. Jack McCoy's the name…But please tell me why you appeared and not the First Tenumako?…Why can't I have my infinite power?…I mean, if I have to be with you for that power, I'll totally give it a shot."

When the nice boy, Jack, asked Lar why she was here, she was stumped. "Well uhmm, I guess it's because the first Tenumako was busy. And I have Ki energy! I can help you with whatever you need me to. I can be a lot stronger than I seem!" she made a strong face and put up one of her arms like she was flexing it, trying to look tough. But of course she had no muscle at all; she only really had skin and bones. But she wanted to impress her new love. Love, that's what she felt. Jack and Larayna, together forever. She could see it now and began to go off on a daydream about their life together: their beautiful wedding, where they would live, how many kids they would have...

Finally she looked down at him and giggled, realizing how uncomfortable he looked with her on top of him. "I'm sorry, I can get off of you if you want!" She put a hand on his biceps, feeling all of his strength and energy and his past fights. She could tell how powerful he was. He would make a perfect husband for her! She giggled again, this time to herself.

Jack blushed to himself. Had this Supernatural girl seriously claimed him as her fiance, and said to also be powerful, flowing with the Ki he needed- Wait, the First Tenumako was busy?!

Sighing, and watching the girl sit there in the nude, he rummaged through his bag, looking for an outfit she could use. Finding nothing, he ran off elsewhere, and grabbed the first thing he could find.

"Ah…Uh, Larya…" He began, bowing down again and holding out the clothing. "I had found very little you could use. I can buy you an outfit before we head back to my home in New York City…"

it was a shirt and some shorts….

"I hope this is good enough…Uh, Princess?…Right?…"

Having traversed a great amount of land in the past months… He had finally managed to find a temple deep within the deserts of India. It was a brutal journey that had all but worn Syaoran down to bones. His thin body looked frail as he looked about the room. It was worn down, possibly deserted many years ago. He dropped a backpack he had been carrying with him during his travels on the ground and walked over to what appeared to be a circular inset on the stone floor. In its center stood an old stone statue of a man who, based on Syaoran’s studies was one of the Tenumako Horsemen. This was the place, alright. After having closed the stone doors to the temple in order to silence the raging winds, which he had grown accustomed to at this point, he set to work setting up various items around the statue. Upon its head he placed a golden headband. He then placed three wooden monkey totems in three indentations around the circular inset. He took a piece of chalk out of his pocket and marked a line running from each of the totems to the other, completing the triangle. From there he took out a large flask of water, pure in color, and poured it into the circular inset until it rested at the feet of the statue. He couldn’t help but smile as he took out his one remaining offering, his staff. It was Syaoran’s weapon of choice. He laid it parallel to the base of the triangle he had inscribed. Closing his eyes to concentrate, he imbued his fingertips with Ki before gently placing them against the chalk triangle. This caused the chalk to glow, and soon the monkey totems themselves were glowing as well.

Needless to say, he was excited. He grinned foolishly before getting on his knees and bowing deeply before the shrine he had made. “Oh Mighty Tenumako. I offer you my entirety. My desire to protect others knows no bounds. I beg of you to help me in this quest. In order to protect people, I must become strong. So I ask of you to grant me this power. The Ki necessary to Protect this World and its People. The Strength to claim Peace when faced with Evil, the Resolve to stand against any Threat, and the Will to Fight. Grant me the power bestowed to you by all the Gods, and the Great Mother Gaia!”

As soon as he had finished the incantation, the water he had pool of water he had created began to shine brightly. On its surface, instead of a reflection, Syaoran saw the image of two people. They appeared to be a man and a woman. They grew ever closer to eachother, before suddenly bursting outward in a firework like display. It confused Syaoran somewhat, but he didn’t have much time to think about it because by this point the water was glowing brighter and brighter. He recoiled at the sudden increase in light, covering his eyes with his arm. This was finally it. Soon one of the Tenumako Heavenly Rider’s would appear before him… or so he thought.

Lar scooted off of him and sat on the floor, looking at his tiger. She had never seen one of these animals in real life and it was beautiful to her. She started to reach her hand up to pet it, but then Jack came back with some clothes for her to wear. "I hope this is good enough…Uh, Princess?…Right?…" he stuttered out. She had made him blush already, and he was so cute when he was nervous. Now she giggled. "Oh Jack, they're wonderful! I've never had clothes like these before," she explained in honest amazement.

She stood up and let the water drop, not bothering to go anywhere to hide herself. She slipped the clothes on and looked back at the tiger. "This is your's, right? Do we get to ride it?" she asked Jack hopefully. She had always been amused by the smallest things. And now that she was on Earth, almost everything she saw amused her from Jack, to the clothes, to the tiger. She couldn't get her stupid grin off her face.

Jack was about to reply kindly when he went silent, and made a 'WTF' face at the tiger. This was his pet, and best friend, Gouki. A Tiger he wrestled and befriended in a poaching incident.

"Damnit Gouki!" He shouted at his best friend. "Stop sneaking up on me like that!…"

The animal looked to be as if it was almost laughing, as it walked over to Lar and began to nuzzle against her playfully, as if he'd known her all his life. In fact, coincidentally, Gouki was the name of the First Tenumako's trusted steed.

"Oh. This is Gouki. I named him after the Legend of the First Tenumako's Noble familiar and steed, Akumagouki!"

Hikari was in her father's palace in her room gazing at herself in the mirror. She had just gotten out of the shower and was in her robe. She made her way to her closet. Once she grabbed one of the outfits she heard a deep voice almost coming from below the ground. She frantically turned around to see that there was no one there that had talked in that voice. She let out a sigh of relief when everything around her went a grayish ivory color. Moments later she ended up falling on the cold hard ground inside some sort of temple scenery. Hikari struggled to stand up but then regained her balance. She looked around the almost pitch black temple to see some sort of knight {Syaoran} on his knees almost in a praying postion in front of her. "W-W-Where am I? What am I doing here!!?? How did I get here?! Hikari spoke in a small voice. She looked around the temple waiting for the knights answer.

Syaoran was awe-struck, to say the least. He had expected to have been meeting one of the Tenumako… but instead he was graced by the appearance of a lovely young woman. He stared for some time before he realized that she was dressed in a robe… He once again bowed his head, this time in order to apologize for staring at the girl. “I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Syaoran repeated, his cheeks turning redder. After a moment, he stopped, having finally noticed the problem with the situation. He looked back up at the girl, “U-uh, well... You're in a temple. I was performing a ritual in order to summon a legendary horseman." He muttered, before pouting slightly. "I was supposed to gain power... Never mind that though, who are you...?” He asked. It was a straight-forward question typical of Syaoran’s personality. “Oh, and do you know anything about the Tenumako?” Had he performed the ritual wrong? No, it couldn't be. He had read the ancient script exactly... It didn't make any sense. For what reason was there a young woman before him, instead of the person who would grant him power? His mind was a whirlwind of these frantic thoughts.

Hikari shook her head. "No I don't know them a lot about them. And I'm Hikari,princess of the east." Hikari looked down at her body to see nothing but a red robe covering her. Her faced went completely tomato red. "Holy crap this is embarrassing!!" Luckily for her she had a extra outfit with her that she had grabbed before she fell down into the temple. She looked back at Syaoran and said. "So you were really trying to summon one of the legendary horseman?" Hikari didn't know a lot about the legendary horseman but she knew that they were very powerful and could grant powers to the individuals that summoned them.

Hikari shook her head. "No I don't know them a lot about them. And I'm Hikari,princess of the east." Hikari looked down at her body to see nothing but a red robe covering her. Her faced went completely tomato red. "Holy crap this is embarrassing!!" Luckily for her she had a extra outfit with her that she had grabbed before she fell down into the temple. She looked back at Syaoran and said. "So you were really trying to summon one of the legendary horseman?" Hikari didn't know a lot about the legendary horseman but she knew that they were very powerful and could grant powers to the individuals that summoned them.

Syaoran blinked. A princess? Did I hear that right? He hesitated a moment, before getting to his feet. “E-excuse me. Did you just say ‘princess’?” He asked. His thin body was still weather beaten and worn from his journey to the temple and now he had made the mistake of summoning a princess! Oh, he could only imagine what would happen if her parents found out… He’d be murdered for sure! However, his panicking was brought to a grinding halt as he heard her ask him a question. He walked over gently, picking up the staff he had placed on the ground before the shrine and pointed at the small statue of the Tenumako Horseman. “Yeah. That’s right. That’s what I set this whole ritual up for, at least… I haven’t the slightest clue what went wrong.” He glanced at the girl once more, before his face flushed red and he turned his face away. “U-uh… Would you like me to give you a minute to c-change…?” He slurred in embarrassment.

Lar giggled as the tiger nuzzled her. His soft, wet nose and rough tongue tickled her. So he was named after the first Tenumako's steed...that's why that name sounded familiar! "He's so cute and sweet!" she praised. Then she looked up at Jack. "I just wanted to say thank you for summoning me. Life is so boring up there where I come from! This is like an adventure, so exciting." Her eyes gleamed as she thought about how romantic their adventures would be. Like a fairy-tale.

She stood up and gave Jack a hug and a peck on the cheek, blushing just slightly at his tender skin. Then she bowed to the statue of the first Tenumako and looked back at Jack. "So where do we go now?" She walked over to Gouki as if she was going to mount him, hoping that Jack would help her. She had never really mounted a horse, let alone a tiger.

Jack nodded to Gouki, and the Tiger happily let the girl ride on, not realizing she was so familiar because it was his mother, one of the tigers of the fearsome Old Kings Of The Jungle (Before the Chinese knew of Lions, I am serious) Family he kept in his palace. The cub was born and cared for often by the Asura People of the palace. In fact, the Tiger was practically thinking it was just a child again to see this goddess in training appear.

"I guess its off to New York." Said Jack. "The City in America, where I'm from. I need to get back anyway. I'm sure I can set up an entire life for you there, as well as an identity as a Japanese Citizen."

He took the girl's hand, and walked with her and the Tiger.

"But again: You need something. Just ONE thing at least to wear before we leave."

-

Jack was walking her into the Shopping district.

"Anything you like, I should be able to buy…" He told her, thinking she'd only get one thing.

Hikari nodded her head smiling. "Yup! Princess of the East!" Hikari was still slightly shook up about how she got here and she could clearly see that Syaoran was awe-struck about 'accidentally' summoning a princess. Then she heard Syaoran ask her if she wanted a minute to change. "Yea that would be great." Her face went red again and she ran out around the nearest corner and tried to change as fast as she could. She came around the corner fully clothed. "That's better!" Hikari smiled as she was putting her red hair up in a ponytail. "Why would you want one of the Legendary Horseman to grant you powers??"

Larayna looked around her when they got to a large street with lots of buildings. She watched all the people moving fast around her, coming and going and carrying all kinds of different bags. She jumped of Gouki and ran to the nearest building, looking through its glass windows. It was obviously a clothing store, and her face lit up at the sight of all the different sizes and shapes and colors of the dresses. She ran in and tried on almost everything, forcing Jack to sit and watch her model all of her different outfits.

Then she moved on to the jewelry/shoe store right next to it. By the time she was finished, she had picked out five different dresses, three pairs of shoes, and jewelry to match each dress as well as a cute hat.

"I can't pick my favorite!" she said to Jack, putting out her lip in a fake pout.

Jack had bit his lip at the prices, and all. Granted he had to be her husband, but it all happened so fast. he had to get used to it. Watching the girl get whistles and such for wearing various pretty dresses that complimented her beautiful looks perfectly made him uneasy.

"Uhh…" Went Jack. "There's more options in NYC. so just buy your favorite set…" He suggested. "How about this one?"

He picked out a local made dress, as well as some high heels which were blue jewel encrusted on the sides, and colored jet black, and some wristbands, because he was such a wristband nut. :D

"Here. How about this one?…Waifu?" He added at the end to try and sound more married-ish.

Syaoran turned back around so that he faced the girl, the ‘Princess of the East’ as she had called herself. He blushed furiously, as he did before. It wasn’t everyday he saw a girl like this… And she was just wearing a robe- Ah! No, stop thinking that! You need to figure this out. He shook the thoughts from his head as she asked him why he had wanted power. He ran a hand through his hair in surprise. “Well, it seems I messed up... You see, my purpose was to summon the Tenumako Horseman to help me. I wanted to become stronger so that I can protect everyone. I guess it didn’t work out too well…” He frowned slightly, looking the girl over.

The way he said everyone only emphasized his lack of concern for who they were. He was literally willing to protect anybody for no reason other than personal morals. It was an odd trait to have in this age. After a moment of silence, he continued talking. “A-anyways… I think for now the best thing to do is to head home. Ah, that is to New York City. I moved about a year ago, but went on my travels shortly after that, so I haven’t really had much of a chance to get to know the place. Either way, I have a decent place to live if you’d be so kind as to join me, Princess.” He said bowing slightly to her, with as much grace as he could, considering his hyperactive personality. It felt extremely awkward asking a girl to come home with him… to his house. The thought made him blush slightly Together… at my house… Ah! You’re doing it again! Stop!
