Unfortunately, I own none of the F. Y. Characters. How very tragical, ne? Oh yeah, by-the-by, I know that most of the people are dead, so let's pretend they're not for this story, please? Thank you very much!

CHAPTER ONE

"Yue! Come on we're going to be late!" Miaka shouted from down the street.

"I'm coming hold on!"

"I'm so excited, I haven't seen her in such a long time," Miaka said excitedly when Yue caught up to her.

"So, what does she do anyway, I mean, I know she's in the circus but you never told me what she does there," Yue said.

Miaka smiled, "she's a performer! The best they've got! They always have her playing the lead parts and she can do things that no one else in that circus can!"

The two girls entered the enormous tent and were amazed at the number of people. There was no way they were going to find a seat.

"Miaka! Miaka I'm so glad you could make it!"

They turned around to see a girl with long silver hair run up to them in a beautiful sparkling dress, "I haven't seen you in such a long time!"

Miaka squealed in delight, "oh my gosh! Catherine I haven't seen you for so long," and the two cousins embraced.

Catherine turned to Yue, "you must be Miaka's friend I have heard so much about! I am very pleased that you could make it here tonight!"

Yue bowed but was stopped when she felt two arms wrap around her, "any friend of Miaka is a friend of mine! You don't need to be so formal with me!" Catherine exclaimed.

"Cat, there are a lot of people here tonight, I don't think we'll be able to find a seat…"

"Oh no worries, I saved some in the front row for you!"

"Really, in the front?" Yue asked, and when Cat nodded she jumped in excitement, "you are so cool!"

Catherine looked up at the big clock that was on the wall, "well, I have to get back stage, so sit back and enjoy the show, I'll come find you when it's done!'

"Bye, and good luck!" Miaka and Yue shouted at her.

Catherine waved good-bye and she disappeared in the crowd of people.

When the show had ended, Miaka and Yue could not believe their eyes.

"I didn't know some of the stuff she did was physically possible," Yue commented.

"I told you she was good," Miaka stated proudly.

After about ten minutes they heard Catherine calling out to them.

"I'm so sorry that it took me so long to get back! News reporters kept on bothering me with questions!"

Miaka squealed again, "that was so cool! I couldn't believe some of the stuff you did!"

Yue nodded in agreement, "I didn't know that you can sing and dance on the tight-rope and still not fall. By the way, you have an amazing voice!"

Catherine blushed, "well, my voice isn't that great, but I tried my best!"

Miaka shook her head, "not that great! What are you talking about?"

Catherine shrugged, "I think I could have done better, but as long as the audience liked it," she started walking forward, "let's go to my trailer, I have to take off all the sparkly make-up and the costume."

Miaka and Yue gingerly followed her past the mob of people into the very back of the long field of trailers.

"Here we are, home sweet home!" Cat opened the door and all three of them walked in.

"It's very nice," Yue said, as she looked at all the posters of performances that Cat was in.

Miaka watched as Cat wiped off all her make-up, "can I pick out your outfit? You know I always love doing that!"

Catherine smiled and nodded, "sure, why not. My closet is right there."

Miaka picked out a white shirt with long sleeves and black pants with a cute belt that had silver butterflies on it.

Cat looked the outfit up and down, "you know, I don't remember owning those clothes…"

Miaka smiled, "that's because you never wear them because they're your only nice clothes and you don't want to ruin them."

"Oh, right!"

"So, are we going to see a movie, are we going to the park, or are we going to rent movies and watch them at you're house?" Yue asked.

Miaka thought for a moment, "how does all three sound?"

Cat and Yue looked at each other, "sounds good to me," they said in unison.

The three soon left the circus and were walking to the grand park that was in front of the big mall.

"We have to go shopping tomorrow!" Yue exclaimed as Miaka nodded.

"It's so beautiful here! It reminds me of when the group went to England and we did a play out in this big field, it was so wonderful," Catherine said as she looked around in awe.

"You must have seen a lot, huh?"

"Yes, but I never got to go to school. I've always wanted to, but I never had the opportunity. I tried teaching myself with books and such, but I'm sure that doesn't compare to the kind of education that you two have!"

Yue and Miaka glanced at each other, "okay, just in that sentence, you proved that you were smarter than us."

Cat laughed, "you two are funny, I wish I had a friendship like that with someone."

"Uh, hello, us!"

"Yeah but, I never get to see you. I wish that I had a friend in the circus," her smile never left her face, "so, anyway, how about that movie?"

"Uh? Oh yeah! Come on, the theater is in the mall."

Yue and Miaka started happily walking towards the big door that marked the entrance, when Catherine stopped all of a sudden, "is it always this empty?" She asked.

"What do you mean?"

"The people, they're all gone. There is no one here."

Yue looked around, "y-you're right… I wonder what's going on-MIAKA!"

Cat and Yue were both blown back a bit when a red glow shot out of Miaka and swirled around her.

"What's going on?" Cat asked, but she was knocked to the ground when a similar blue light started glowing around Yue.

"No! Not the book! Not again!" Miaka cried out.

"What's wrong? What's happening? Miaka!" Catherine ran forward and tried to grab Miaka, but the red light cut her hand and blood was splattered all over her.

"Cat, the book I told you about-the story I told you, it was real, I-"

Her eyes widened, "the 'Universe of the Four Gods' is a real book? It was a real story?"

"Yes, and I am the priestess of Suzaku, I was the one!"

"And you," she turned to Yue, "you are the priestess of Serriyu?"

Yue nodded, and the blue light started growing bigger and brighter, "we're being pulled back in, I don't know why!"

Catherine shook her head, "I wont let them!" Despite the pain that it caused her, she reached forward and grabbed Yue's arm, "I wont let you go! I can't just watch!"

"Cat your arm! It's bleeding!" Miaka jumped forward and tried to help, but when Yue and Miaka touched a bright light shined and the three were knocked unconscious.

"Miaka? Miaka are you all right? Wake up!"

"Huh?" She opened her eyes a little to see a tall blur standing in front of her.

"Yue? Yue are you okay? Where's Cat?"

"Right there," Yue said, pointing to a lifeless form. "I tried waking her up, but so far nothing."

"Oh no! Cat please!" She ran forward and put Cat's head on her lap.

"Please Cat, please, I don't know what to do without you!"

Cat's eyes fluttered open; she had such beautiful eyes, "M-Miaka? Where are we?"

She sat up and winced at the pain that was running through her arm, "is it true, are we in the land of the four gods?"

Miaka nodded, "it looks that way. Ah Cat, are you alright?"

She smiled and nodded, "yeah! The blood makes it look worse, but really, it's just a scratch or two."

"Miaka! Lady Yue!" They turned to see a man with red hair run up to them, "I found you!"

"Tasuki! Tasuki it's really you!" Miaka ran forward and hugged him.

"That's enough, ya' know! What will Tamahome think?" A man with blue hair appeared out of nowhere next to Yue, "it's nice to see that you are both alive and well!"

"Oh Chichiri! I missed you too!"

"Who's this?" Tasuki asked, pointing at Cat, who stood up.

"This is my cousin, her name is Catherine."

"Wow, we should get someone to look at that," Chichiri said as he looked at her arm.

"Where are the others? I can't wait to see them all!"

"Uh, well, Mitskake and Chiriko aren't here because they are currently in another city keeping guard. Lots of things happened when you were gone," Tasuki said, "you wouldn't believe the allies we've made."

Chichiri nodded, "yeah, um, well, ya know how when a new evil comes, it seems to be greater and strong than the last evil?"

Miaka and Yue nodded and Chichiri went on, "well, there has been things going on. It has threatened every living thing on this earth, and if we don't stop it, terrible things are going to happen."

"We weren't strong enough to defeat its minions. That's how powerful this thing is, so we-er-we teamed up with the Serriyu Seven, actually," Tasuki finished.

"What?" Yue's jaw dropped, "you actually teemed together?"

Chichiri nodded, "we new that you were coming back because Tamahome appeared before us, ya know."

"So we went looking for you," Tasuki said, "and now we're gonna head back to camp."

Miaka and Yue nodded, "do you have medical supplies there?"

"Yes, we do, don't worry, we'll take care of your cousin."

Catherine stared on without saying a word, and started following the others to where ever it was they were going.
