It Only Took Some Time
CHAPTER 1: Total Denial
Disclaimer: Hey, I do not own the characters of Fushigi Yugi...unfortunately. Anyways, please enjoy, this is my first attempt at a FY fic. ^-^
How beautiful was the sky, glittering with radiant, incandescent stars. Yui Hongo gazed up at these brilliant ornaments that hung overhead, those that created magnificent patterns in their ever-changing dance. And in the near center came the brightest of all stars, even if it be not a star at all. The moon, a colossal orb that stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the tiny pinpricks of astral light against the darkness of the midsummer night. The moonbeams cast a phantom glow over Yui's ivory countenance, bestowing upon her a ghostly façade. The entire world seemed to have fallen silent; the only sound, which seemed so loud it could be heard for miles, was the rapid beat of Yui's heart. She raised a slender, pale hand to clutch the soft fabric of her uniform, feeling the pulsating rhythm against her chest. In one way, Yui felt relief from the stillness in the air; on the other hand, the pounding in her chest gave way to the aching of loneliness she was feeling. There was also something else, a faint feeling of nervousness. Soon the time would come when she would have to perform the ceremony, the only reason she had stayed within the book of The Universe of the Four Gods, the ceremony to summon the Dragon God of the East, Seiryuu. Once it was all over, she'd planned to return to her "normal" life, back in her own world. Truth be told, however, she wasn't certain anymore if this was the path she wanted to take. She'd told herself over and over that the only one she would trust was Nakago, her savior...but even now, she was starting to doubt his loyalty to her. Yes, it was true he was kind to her, and he was a comforting soul when she needed it.
'But why...why does he seem...changed?' she asked herself, over and over again in her mind. Lately, the look in his eyes has been harsh and cold, never a warm look like when they had first met. 'Would he betray me, too? Like Miaka did? No! He couldn't...he wouldn't...!' Yui shook her head in mild frustration, causing short, golden locks to fall in front of cerulean shaded eyes that seemed to match impeccably with the endless night. With a start, Yui gasped as a hand that was not her own brushed away the loose strands of gold that had been obscuring the young woman's vision, and tucking it behind one of her ears. Yui breathed a faint sigh of relief to see the familiar face of her seishi, Suboshi. Instantly she tensed, however, those dark eyes of hers seemed to turn to ice, and it caused Suboshi to wince at her sudden change of expression.
"I...I'm sorry, Yui-Sama...you've been gone for a rather l-long time, and I was...well, getting w-worried..." Suboshi stuttered, feeling like a complete moron from the way he sounded. He mentally kicked himself, this was only Yui...and yet, he could only find himself to act this way around her all the time. Yui's facial features showed slight irritation. Alas, he was always worried about her! Taking that thought in, she somewhat giggled to herself.
'Silly Yui...that's his role! He's your seishi, he's supposed to worry about you! But why...why doesn't Nakago worry so much as he?' she mentally asked herself, her expression shifting to a somewhat disappointed look. Suboshi mistook that look to be directed toward him...he felt she was angry he was there.
"I, um...I'm really sorry, Yui-Sama...for bothering you..." he said sadly, pivoting on his left foot to turn around slowly, until he was stopped by a hand gently being placed on his shoulder.
"No, no...I'm sorry, Suboshi. I'm kind of glad you brought me out of my daze, anyhow." Suboshi's face beamed happily at her words.
"Really?" he inquired almost too excitedly. Yui simply chuckled and nodded her head, truly glad she was able to bring him to smile.
'He's so adorable when he smiles...' Yui blinked as her eyes went wide. Did she actually think that? 'No, no! I didn't...I mean, I shouldn't have...' Yui couldn't even complete her thought. She just let it aside and turned to gaze up at the moon. It was so brilliant tonight, she wasn't sure why. Suddenly, there something laid heavily upon her shoulder, and she turned her head slightly to see Suboshi's face, his profile giving of a subtle glow from the dim moonlight. She was about to question as to what he was doing, when he started to speak.
"The moon is lovely, don't you think?" Before giving her a chance to even answer, he started again, "Although it pales in comparison to your beauty." The heat began to rise in Yui's cheeks as they turned a shade of crimson. She immediately felt her heartbeat increase rapidly, and it scared her.
"...We shouldn't be having a conversation like this, Suboshi," she replied firmly. However, Suboshi was much more stubborn than she knew. He lifted his head from her shoulder, and took a step forward in front of her, turning so to face her. He regarded her with misty gray eyes, eyes as wild as a hurricane. Yui always seemed entranced in those eyes whenever he looked at her with such...emotion.
"Yui-Sama, why must you always push me away from you? Can you not see the love that burns in my soul? The love for you?" Yui remained silent, staring intently at him with bewildered features. "You and Aniki mean the world to me, you both are my everything...but now, Yui-Sama, I've lost my Aniki, my other half! You...you are the only one that can fill this enormous gap in my heart...I need you, Yui-Sama...my life now revolves around you and only you...please, don't deprive me of the love I so rightfully deserve..." he pleaded, not only with his words, but those eyes. Yui stood astounded, contemplating what he was saying to her. They stood there, an eerie silence between them. With quick movements, Yui suddenly bolted away from him, eagerly trying to escape this confrontation. She heard him call after her, but she never even looked back.
