Disclaimer: I do not own Tasuki, or any other character associated with
Fushigi Yuugi. You dig? I do, however, own Akire, Ikegai, Amria or any
other character or whatever that you can't recognize.
A/N: Please forgive me for any inaccuracy in the characters' personalities or whatever, it's been so long since I wrote a Tasuki fic.
Akire is a 297-year-old monarch of Amria who is also the Paladin, a dimension protector. There, simply enough for you, or do I have to break it down a bit? Amria is where the Amrians live, duh. And Amrians are very similar to us humans, except they tend to hang around longer, age-wise. Akire is just a teenager to the rest of Amria, you know. And right now, Akire is very peeved. This morning, she just captured one of the pests of her life, and right after, he escapes. Very annoying, isn't it?
Well, Ikegai is an Amrian so infatuated with her that he turned into a villain to make her notice him, or probably force her to propose. Well she doesn't want to be involved in a relationship, though who'd fall in love with an egomaniac anyway?
"What kind of Paladin am I?" she murmured, burying her head in her hands. Aside from her personnel, she also lives with her older sister, Janes, and her cousins, who I'd, rather introduce slowly as there're quite a lot of them. Anyway, Janes looked with pity at the frustrated Paladin and shook her head. Juggling a whole country and unfathomable number of dimensions can stress out a person, or an Amrian, which is why she and the other cousins are doing Akire a favor.
"What's this, Janes?" Akire asked, looking at the cousins assembled before her. Daryll, the second oldest male cousin, stepped forward, "Well, you probably know my interest in dimensions, and I've been doing some tinkering with my tracers, and I traced Ikegai's energy into a specific dimension." Thank God for cousins, Akire thought. "You're brilliant! Thank you so much!" she said, hugging him tightly.
Akire then packed a few clothes, her sword, and a spare cloak, with a carefully worded letter in her hand. Janes read it and said, "Neighboring kingdom, Akire faithful servant of the empress and Chief of the Guard?" "No need for them to know who I really am. It's not like I'd be staying there for long," she said, swinging her bag over her shoulder and opening a dimension portal. "Well, good luck on finding Ikegai! Bring him back here, unsafe and unsound!" Daryll yelled, as Akire crossed the portal and emerged on the other side.
Hotohori read the letter sent to him. " 'From the Empress of a neighboring kingdom, I would like to extend greetings of peace. I am Akire, her loyal servant, and Chief of the Guard in her kingdom. I would like to ask permission stay at your country, for one of our fugitives has reportedly escaped into your vicinity. Signed, Akire.' Well, what do you all think?" He passed the letter around to the assembled Suzaku Seishi around him. "What harm would it do? Anyway, if she's planning any treachery, we're all here to stop her," Tamahome said, tossing back the letter. "It's been so long since another woman's going to stay here!" Nuriko said, excited. Everyone had a positive attitude towards this. Well, everyone except Tasuki. "Another woman, oh great," he groaned. "Hey, you don't like the idea just because you hate women!" Nuriko said. "Good, it's decided," Hotohori said, taking out another piece of paper. " 'To the Chief of the Guard, Akire. Permission granted." "Okay, I'm in, I got permission," Akire said. "Look out, Ikegai, 'cause I'm coming for you!"
