I'll See You Again, Sometime

Warnings: For the whole series? SPOILERS, dark themes, language, violence, etcetera.
A Note On SPOILERS: Spoilers for the whole series, esp. episode 33. ;_;
Disclaimer: If I owned Fushigi Yuugi I wouldn't need one.
A/N: My attempt at a story someone might *review* (unlike my other attempts --;;;) and my first fic that will be on my *own*, *new* account on ffnet. Of course I'll transfer my other fics onto it, along with some previously-unposted stuff ('cuz Rowen woulda flipped) that I'll put up too. ^__^ Anyway, this is a reincarnation fic, hopefully all my ideas haven't been done before (bet they have.. since I suck..) but I haven't seen them, soooooooo.. let's begin!
NOTE: the prologue takes place (somewhat) in ancient China. Taiitsukun is asking everybody how they'd want to be reincarnated if they died (it's back when everyone is alive). So that accounts for the lack of reincarnation names. ^__^
PROLOGUE
CHOICES
"Nuriko." The aged oracle watched the young man keenly. The aforementioned seishi shifted uncomfortably under her gaze, fidgeting in a kind of impatient nervousness. "If you should die, how would you like to be reincarnated?"
Nuriko kind of froze, looked around at the others, dark-violet eyes wide and puzzled.
"Taiitsukun, why do you assume that any of us would die?" He finally asked, his voice quiet, eyes turned towards the ground. "We need everyone for the ceremony, ne? So none of us can die, isn't that right?"
But Tasuki noticed that he sounded more worried than confident of his opinion. More dreading than confused. And he didn't like that.
"Just choose, Nuriko." Taiitsukun replied. "I cannot reveal everything, nor should you ask me to."
"So one of us is going to *die*? Maybe more than one?" Nuriko demanded, looking back up at the old woman again, a kind of almost-fire in his eyes. "You know that one of us is going to die, don't you? But you won't tell us so that we can *save* them, will you?"
"Nuriko, I thought that you of all people would understand." Taiitsukun said sternly. "You have already given your life for another, and yet you wonder why I won't tell you? Think about it, Suzaku no seishi Nuriko."
Nuriko's expression changed from confusion to comprehension before Tasuki could even realize what the old hag had been saying. "Because.. because they die saving someone else, don't they? You won't say.. because if *their* death is prevented, someone else would die anyway, right?"
"I knew you were good for something," The old woman said, probably the closest thing to a compliment she had ever given any of them. "Now decide."
Nuriko muttered something under his breath, and the other seishi and Miaka didn't hear it. Taiitsukun did, however, and nodded.
"Very well." Taiitsukun said. "Who's next?"
~**~SCENE CHANGE~**~
So now.. now he understood, as he lay there in the cold snow, pain coming dangerously close to making him cry.
It was because I'm dying instead of Miaka, huh? he thought. She wouldn't say because they'd try to protect me.. and then Miaka would have died.. so I guess it's okay, right?
I don't want to die.. he thought. But I kinda wish Hotohori-sama were here, or Tasuki-chan, but.. it doesn't matter. They'll understand.. I hope..
Those were his last thoughts, before the darkness took him.

A/N: Hah, my prologue was a Nuriko death-fic.. *great*. Oh well. I hope you'll review and such. The whole prologue is kind of pointless, but it *will* make sense during the fic itself. ^__^ So don't worry so much!
Please review and lift my spirits because I really need it.. ;_;
