The beginning of a new legend
A Fushigi Yuugi Fanfic by Kosaku Mitsuko
As always the characters belong to their creators and not to me...regretfully...
" Myst, no da!" Myst blinked, sitting up, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
" Nani, no da?" She stood slowly, her knee length black hair falling delicately over her shoulders.
" It's almost time to eat, no da. you should go to the market and pick up a few things, no da."
Chichiri popped his head into her room." and hurry back. Don't go getting into any trouble, no da."
She waved a hand in front of her,slipping on some shoes. She was clad in her typical attire, loose fititng black pants, and a shotrsleeve green silken shirt. A green peice of silk was tied around her waist. After that, she slipped past Chichiri, making her way outside, and to the market.
Sunlight reflected from her brilliant green eyes, and she smiled, as there were so many people about. She hadn't seen so many people in a while, as she was alone with chichiri most of the time. He'd found her after her village was attacked. Her parents were dead, and he was the only family she now knew...
Shaking her head, she picked up a few things, and walked around. As she was leaving the market, she blinked, as a noise perked up her senses in an alley close to her. It started to rain lightly, and her hair plastered slightly to her forhead. what was that noise?
Giving into curiosity, she followed her ears, and soon found herself in an alley. There were four men, one welding a sword, and a girl, being held by one of the men. She blinked, dropping the bag, walking over.
"She's worth 40!"
Miaka bowed her head. " Tamahome..." The man holding her snickered.
" Awww, 'smatter, sad cuz yer man'll sell you?" She rose her head, glaring.
" No. not sad. I'm pissed!!" SHe punched at him, yet was held back again, slapped.
Tamahome turned, his symbol now glowing feircly. " Leave her the hell alone..." And then he froze, as a sword was to his neck.
"You should watch what you're doing." the man holding the sword smiled. It was at this time, Myst decided to reveal herself.
" Hey, what are you doing to these people, no da?" She blinked, holding her hands down at her sides. " You should leave them alone, or..." The man holding the sword gazed quickly at her, and laughed.
"Mind your own buisness, girl..." and then he looked at her again, " Hey...you could fetch some price....get her." Two other men came from nowhere, and ran at her. She blinked, leaping backwards, landing in a squat.
" That wasn't very nice. Two against one, no da." she smirked, standing. They again, rushed at her. She leapt again, kicking one of her attackers in the back of the head as she landed, knocking him into the other one.
As it seemed those two wouldn't be getting up for a while, she calmly walked to the one with the sword. " Now, I reitterate, what are you doing to these people, no da?"
The rain grew heavier, colder, and thunder lit the heavy sky. The light faded, giving everything an eerie glow.
The man holding the sword smirked, pushing Tamahome away, over to Miaka, whom had been left alone some time ago.
" A tough one are you?" He brought his sword above him, and brought it down at her. She blinked, jumping over slightly, the blade cutting into her shoulder a bit.
" I-Itai..." She placed a hand on her shoulder, as blood ran down her arm, the rain making it quicken it's pace. " Now that was just wrong, no da." The man glared, stepping forward, bringing his fist across Myst's face. Her head jerked to the side, and, again, she winced.
" Now I'm angry, no da." She sweeped her leg under her attacker, knocking him down, easily. Then, bringing her leg down, made a kick to his neck. The man's eyes widened for a moment, then slowly began to close. And as they did, he took his sword by the blade, and swung the hilt with his dying strength at Myst's temple.
She fell away from him, landing in a puddle, her eyes closing, a welt in the side of her head, blooding dripping into the water she lay in. darkness.
Tamahome stood, and blinked furiously. "wh-what the...." His gaze traveled to the girl's forhead, where a symbol glew softly. Miaka stood behind him, also gazing at the girl. " Who...Who is that...?"
Tamahome walked to Myst's unconsious form, kneeling beside her, rainwater dripping from his hair. " I...I don't know...but whoever she is...we can't leave her here..." He said softly, picking Myst up. "let's go back to the palace. We'll get her fixed up there."
Miaka looked at the both of them and nodded, following Tamahome as they went back to the palace.

Myst arose, light shining in her eyes from the window across from her. An unfamiliar window.She opened her eyes, glancing around. The room....it was new....the bed, everything...
" So you're awake now." She closed an eye and winced, as the sound hurt her head. She hurt everywhere.
" H-Hai...where am I...?" She glanced to the person who had spoken to her. He was a man, young by the looks of him, teal hair, amber rose eyes...
" You're in the palace, in Konan." The eye she shut Re-opened.
" How did I get here, no da.....?" the man moved closer to her and smiled, placing a hand to her head.
" You got knocked unconsious... I didn't want to leave you alone, so I brought you here. Are you okay?"
She gave a short nod" Yea...I'm fine....head hurts, that's all, no da.." The boy nodded as well.
" Well, anyway, my name's Tamahome. And...thank you for what you did...ya know, with the slave traders.."
She waved a hand in front of her " No problem. really, no da. My name's Myst." She blinked, as Tamahome took one of her hands in his, and brought it to his lips. And then she blushed.
" It's very nice meeting you, Myst." His gaze traveled up to meet hers, and her blush deepened.
" Same...Tamahome, was it, no da?" the boy nodded.
" Well, I'll leave you rest then...." He stood from her side, walking to the door. " I'll be back later with some food." He smiled, and she smiled back.
" Thank you, no da." Yet another nod from him, and the door closed and she was, again, alone. Lying back down, she gazed at the ceiling. The ceiling blurred, as her eyes began to close; and then her eyes did close, and there was nothing but blackness.

"Myst...." Tamahome took her hand in his, his eyes burning into hers. " Ai shiteru."
Myst's eyes widened, as he took a step closer to her, and placed his lips to hers. Her face flushed slightly, and her eyes closed.
Tamahome's free arm tightened around her, and his eyes fluttered closed, as everything was now perfect.
