Disclaimer: I do not own Fushigi Yuugi or the Sims.

Warning: Slight shonen-ai. Also, I haven't played the Sims in a good... three years... maybe four, so I'm going on what I remember.

Notes: Based off of Crys's Sims House and because I haven't gotten nearly enough sleep lately. Review it, flame it, whatever.

Nuriko Plays the Sims

"Hey, Miaka, what're you doing?" Nuriko asked. The miko was staring at a little black box and giggling occasionally. She waved him over.

"I'm playing a computer game! Come see. It's called the Sims!" Nuriko looked at the box. He squawked.

"There are people in there! How did they get in there?! Can they get out?!"

"Silly!" giggled Miaka. "They aren't really people. They're my Sims! I based them off of people I know." She pointed to each one in turn. "That's me, that's my brother Keisuke, that's my mom, that's Yui-chan, and that's Tetsuya, one of Keisuke's friends." Nuriko sat next to her, fascinated by the way the people moved around and interacted with each other.

"Can I play?" he asked.

"Sure! Here, I'll start a new game and we can play together." She moved the little arrowhead and Nuriko heard a few clicking noises. The people vanished and up popped another box that said, Do you want to start a new game? Yes / No. Miaka clicked yes and shifted the laptop so that Nuriko could see it better.

"You can make people, name them, change what they look like and give them personalities," Miaka said. She showed him how. Nuriko made a replica of himself for the little house. Then he made the other seishi. Miaka grinned and clicked a few times. Everything sped up, so that the little moving people were just blurs. "We'll leave them alone for, say, a week, and then see what happened."

They waited a few minutes. Miaka slowed the game down again and they went to find what had happened to the seishi. Chiriko was playing with Tama, happily bouncing small toys for the cat to chase. Mitsukake was working with a chemistry set and looking intrigued. Tamahome was lounging on the couch, watching TV and eating something that Miaka called "potato chips - ooh! That kind is yummy!" (Nuriko pointed out that all food was yummy to her.) It took them a while to find Nuriko, Hotohori, Tasuki, and Chichiri. When they did, Miaka giggled and Nuriko blushed.

The game versions of Nuriko and Hotohori were in a smallish room that neither of the players remembered putting there. They were kissing. Tasuki and Chichiri were in the same position, in another smallish room that had appeared from no where.

"I guess that means you have a chance with Hotohori after all!" laughed Miaka. Nuriko blushed a bit more, and then it cleared and he grinned evilly.

"Yeah... But I'm more excited about the fact that I'll be able to tease Tasuki forever."
