A large burst of Flame erupted from the corpse, flesh started to form over the dusty bones, The hair, once dusty and gray grew to a beautiful shade of purple and magenta. The skin was pale and smooth, her body perfect, long hair flowing everywhere. Slowly the womens eyes opened to an eerie shade of green. She sat up slowly, than stood up. As soon as she stood up she fell and died. "fool of a corpse!" shouted an old woman. The woman was tall and wrinkled with long gray hair pulled up into a long braid. The old woman picked up the body and dissapeared into a dark swirling mist.
At Eiyou at the Emperial palace of Konan.
A scream of pain is heard across the court yard. "please lady, you must try to push!" "I'm trying! AGHHH" A red light exploded from the mother and out came a beautifull child with a small patch of brown silk for hair on the top of his head.
"My lord, the baby was born with success. Would you like to see him?" Said a birthing maid to the emperor. The Emperor Seishuku walked into A large room Dressed in wall tapistrys and curtains. On the other side of the room, layed his wife and his beautiful baby boy. He picked up him up. "I shall name you Saihitei Seishuku ( did I spell that right? )" " My lord! Hurry quick! The kuto wariors have reached the east border of konan." The Emperor Seishuku gave the small child to his wife and than he left the room. The Emperor Seishuku was never seen again. They say he died by a blast of blue chi.
The old woman appeared in front of the Konan palace. She set the Woman down in the mud and dissapeared into the dark mist again. The cold rain beat down on the womans naked body. Soon she was cold and covered in mud. A red light shone down and devoured the womans body. The light was warm and calming Soon she was on a bed and full of life. "Are you Chi?" a warm scratchy voice said in her head. Chi winced a bit and said "where am I?" "you are at Daikyokuzan Mountain." The voice replied. Chi opened her eyes and saw an old woman with wriknles on her face looking like cooled lava, and an elegant kimono on and a ribbons flowing from it, Her hair was up in two buns perched on top of her head. "EEEEEKKKKK who are you ?" Chi screamed. "Quiet child! I am Tai Itskun, mother of the four gods." "four what whats? Mother of who?" Tai Itskun had a look of annoyance on her face. "you are the mother of the four gods? WOW!" Chi looked down at her body. Her breasts were very small, and her feet were small, toes were short and fat and she had a scrape across her knee. "ACK IM SMALL AGAIN! WHY AM I SO SHORT, WHERE ARE MY BOOBS?" "I had to turn you back into a child so you can relive your life to your new destiny." "WHAT?………AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Chi was once again wraped in the warm light and placed in the emperial palace. There she saw a small boy with long flowing brown hair and beautiful brown eyes. "hello, who are you?" said the boy. His voice was calm and sheepish. "Im chi, who are you?" "I'm Saihitei." "Saihitei? Hmmm Lets be friends!" chi said as she hugged Saihitei. " Saihitei! Get away from that maggot! Who are you maggot? State your name!" yelled one of Saihitei's advisors. "Im chi. Im a sevant in the court." "How old are you? Wretch?" The advisor said coldly. "I'm ten sir." Chi said meekly. "fine if you are a servant, keep lord Saihitei company!" he said as he walked off. Chi and Saihitei walked off into the garden and started to play with butterflies.
Four years later.
"Saihitei please don't cry. It will be ok. Im still here for you." Saihitei was sitting on the bench in the garden where chi and him had spent many of there days. Saihitei was crying. "Saihitei please, don't cry". Chi was hugging Saihitei to comfort him. But she wasn't able to comfort the pain he had. No one could after his mother died.
Three years later.
"Emperor Saihitei? Who is she?" chi asked sheepishly. "she is the new priestess of suzaku." Saihitei replied dully. "woman return to the harem!" said Advisor Koai. "yes sir." Chi said sadly as she left Saihitei. Chi was now seventeen, Saihitei eighteen. Chi cried in her room. Why had Saihitei become so cold to her? Why would her words no longer reach him? Chi thought of this often.
It was night when chi left the herem. She went to see her beloved Saihitei. Slowly she crept into his room. He was sitting at the table in the corner of the room reading. "Saihitei, may I talk with you?" "Yes, come in chi." Saihitei said with a smile on his face. Saihitei motioned chi to a nearby chair. "Saihitei, have I done something wrong, something to hurt you." Chi said shaking as she looked at a flower on her kimono. "no chi you have done nothing, what makes you think that?" "iiiits just that every time I try to talk to you, im turned away by a cold man, not my beloved Saihitei." Chi said as a small tear slid down her cheek. Chi stood up and hugged Saihitei. "Saihitei I love you." Saihitei had a shocked look on his face. "c c chi I didn't know you felt that way." "yes yes Saihitei I have always felt this way about you. Since the day we met, the day your mother died, the day I first entered the herem!… I have loved you." Chi blurbed. Saihitei hugged chi and kissed her neck. Chi was crying. Saihitei wiped the tears from her face. "chi, I love you to, but…" "Saihitei don't tell me you cant return emotion for me! Please don't tell me that. Please don't tell me that you love someone else! Please….. just say its me, please." "chi, I I I do love you, but it cant happen." "what what why why not tell me Saihitei tell me why." "because you and I are suzaku wariors." Chi went silent. "what?" "yes chi we are suzaku wariors. And if we are suzaku warriors, we cant love one another." Chi let go of Saihitei and slipped out of the room and back to the herem. Her heart was broken, she cried through the whole night. What would it matter if she and Saihitei were suzaku warriors, why couldn't she love him? Those thoughts ran through her head the whole night.
The next morning at breakfast, there chi saw Saihitei and the new priestess Miaka talking like old friends. She was sitting with him at the bench where Saihitei and chi first kissed, where chi and him talked, where chi comforted him after his mother died. Chi was furious, she was on the verge of tears, and ripping Miaka's head off. How could he just be over it like that? How could she take her place? Could he just forget about her like that? Her heart felt like it was ripped in two and tossed into the ocean and eaten by sharks. Chi was heart broken because she had to walk past Saihitei and Miaka to get to her room. Ill just hold my head high and keep walking. Yeah that's what ill do, I don't even have to look at her or him. Chi stuck her chin up and kept walking. "Chi, may I talk to you for a minute?" Saihitei said calmly. How can he be so calm? Like nothing happened! He ripped out my heart, and now he expects me to be fine! "yes Emperor Saihitei?"
"I would like you to meet Miaka, she is the new priestess. Miaka this is Chi, my dear friend." Saihitei said in his kind voice. What? I was rejected for so long from his kindness, and she shows up and she gets all the happy happy stuff?
"Nice to meet you miaka." Chi said calmly as she bowed. "Chi, did you know that you are the charichter moon in the suzaku seven?" "No I did not Emperor Saihitei." How in the name of suzaku does he think that he can be so friendly? My heart, it hurts. "Chi, please call me Hotohori." "yes Emperor Saihitei, I mean Hotohori." " well you can continue what you were doing."
