Hey guys
This is a Yuri fanfic based on the friendship of Yui and Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi
As much as I shipped Miaka with other characters (NOT Tamahome/Taka) they had the strongest relationship in the anime
Please favourite, follow and review
Many thanks

Miaka was quietly hanging out the laundry on the line her thoughts elsewhere. She was aware of the chores that needed doing but her heart was elsewhere. "It's been 3 years since that day hasn't it" Miaka thought to herself quietly.
flashback
"Taka! You'll be ok! Please hang on PLEASE!" Miaka screamed loudly. Hadn't he promised they would be together forever?! How could he do this to her?
Taka lay in the hospital bed quietly his vision faded, his head spinning from blood loss and his entire body aching yet the pain was slowly numbing. All he could remember was being hit by a large truck and getting crushed after it capsized.
A drunk driver named Yoshiro Matsuya aged 30 had been drinking way too many beers while driving a lot wet roads. Earlier that evening his wife had thrown him out and admitted to sleeping with someone else because he was distant, an alcoholic and emotionally abusive.
In a fit of rage he had driven off in the truck, robbed all the alcohol she had, picked up a hooker while driving and decided to drive to get himself some thinking done. As you can guess he had caused many accidents, abused the hooker while she did her job and ranted on about his wife in a drunken stupor.
Taka who had been on a late shift had been waiting to cross the road, he had caught sight of the van but a woman had injured herself while trying to escape the trucks pass. Being the hero he was Taka had pushed her out of the way and allowed himself to be hit.
"How could this have happened? What about our life? What about Hikari! She's 7 months old! She needs her daddy! She needs YOU Taka!" Miaka sobbed angrily.
Her heart was so full of sadness, rage, confusion and anxiety. She'd been so happy before all this! They were so full of joy once Hikari was born and Taka had been working hard to provide for them since Miaka was on maternity leave.
She was used to losing people; she was used to loss and grieving, she was used to the fact that people around her died so much. Hell she'd watched Nuriko bleed to death after Ashitare impaled him, She had watched Chiriko commit suicide in order to protect her and the others from Miboshi's wrath.
But this was too much now she was losing the man she loved after they were finally together in the real world and had just received their first child. WHY did the world hate their love?!
"...ka" Taka muttered quietly.
Miaka's eyes widened in shock and she stared at him. Had she just heard him right? Did he just say something?
"...Miaka" Taka whispered painfully a look of peace yet solemnest on his face.
"Taka I'm right here! What is it? Tell me!" Miaka begged anxiously. He was still fighting; he wanted to live!
A sad yet peaceful smile spread across Tamahome's face "Wo...Ai Ni" he whispered gently as his eyes closed slowly.
Suddenly Tamahome's hand became limp and dropped slightly in her own. A feeling of dread filled Miaka's heart and fear overwhelmed her.
She laughed nervously her tone timid and quiet. This wasn't real right? This was all a dream wasn't it?
"Taka..." Miaka said quietly her tone eager as if he was playing a game with her.
Taka didn't respond; his battered body lay there peaceful with a content smile on his face. He was with his friends now; Nuriko, Chiriko, Hotohori and Mitsukake were there greeting him.
Miaka's heart dropped and her emotions overcame her. Tears poured over her cheeks and her heart began to race with nerves and anger. She leapt forward wrapping her arms around Taka clinging to his lifeless body.
"NO! YOU CAN'T BE GONE! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS! WHAT ABIUT HIKARI? WHAT ABOUT OUR PROMISE? HOW CAN YOU DIE LIKE THIS! HOW COULD YOU TAKA!" Miaka screamed bitterly as she clung to his neck like a vice.
A nurse heard the screams from the hallway and came to investigate. When she came in on the scene her heart dropped and she asked another nurse to get the doctor then entered and placed a hand on her shoulder gently.
Now
Miaka finished hanging the bedsits quietly the wind gently blowing a breeze into her open patio doors. She tucked a small strand of hair behind her ear gently as she enjoyed the gentle breeze of autumn.
"Mama" a quiet voice said from behind her.
Miaka turned and smiled gently "Sorry Hikari did you get lonely?" she apologized gently.
Hikari Yuki; her daughter was now 3 years old. She had no memory of her father but was aware of his existence from pictures and stories Miaka would tell. She was still very innocent and naive and often difficult but a very sweet child. She reached Miaka's knee's in height and was still very clingy but an obedient child. Her facial appearance was very much like hers but her appearance was that of Taka's which was often hard for Miaka.
Hikari had her father's turquoise blue hair with a curly M shaped bang. Her hair reached her shoulders in gentle waves much like Miaka's. She either wore it up or down depending on what she asked for. Her eyes were the same colour as Miaka's; a beautiful greenish gold colour that shone in the light like a star.
She was a beautiful child and caught the attention of many because of her lovely appearance and endearing yet adorable personality.
However many people commented on how Miaka dressed Hikari; be it every day strangers, neighbours or her own mother. It was either "What is she thinking dressing her child like a boy?", "She's so stuck up; flaunting those fancy clothes on her child in public" or "What a bitch; dressing up her child and herself like a model and acting so sweet it's sickening".
However people she cared about like Yui, Keisuke, Mayo and Tetsuya however always said to Miaka how she did a good job as a parent and how Hikari was such a lucky girl having such a kind and loving mother.
Today Hikari was wearing purple dungaree's, a white plain white long sleeved shirt with an oval neck and small trainers. Her blue wavy hair was tied up in a ponytail with a red bow.
"Mama why are you so sad?" Hikari asked quietly her tone worried. She loved her mummy very much and hated seeing her so unhappy.
Miaka gasped in shock; her child was innocent but she was however not stupid in fact she was very intuitive and intelligent for her age.
Miaka knelt down to Hikari's level to face her; she sighed heavily before placing a gentle but sad smile on her face "I was just thinking about Daddy again" Miaka said gently.
Hikari's eyes opened slightly with surprise but her expression was still calm. However she clenched her fists tightly.
"I'm sorry..." Hikari sniffled quietly her tone sad. Small tears began to well up in her eyes.
Miaka blinked in surprise and her expression became concerned. Had Hikari had an accident? Had she made a mistake? Had she done something naughty without her knowledge?
"I'M SORRY I LOOK LIKE DADDY!" Hikari cried out tearfully and burst into tears. She brought her fists to her eyes and began to sob uncontrollably. She had connected the dots by looking at pictures of her daddy that she resembled him. And she felt bad for having to make her Mother be reminded of such pain by being around her.
Miaka's eyes widened in shock and her heart was filled with both confusion and anger. It hurt her deeply to see her 3 year old daughter apologizing for looking like the man she had fallen in love with?!
Then she was filled with more anger; the neighbours often commented on how Hikari looked like her father and Miaka probably was out a lot because she was sleeping around to forget him and comfort herself.
They were such bastards always thinking the worst of her; they wore fake smiles but spread such malicious rumours it made her sick. Did they have nothing better to do than to spread bullshit?!
"Miaka grabbed her daughter and pulled he close to her grasping her tightly. How could she possibly think such things? Yes it was hard sometimes but Hikari was a child made from love!
She could never hate her daughter; she would never abandon her, abuse or upset her. She treasured Hikari with her entire being and enjoyed raising her. The fact that people made her feel like this with rumours angered her.
"Don't you DARE say that!" Miaka snapped sharply fighting tears.
Hikari's eyes widened and she stood there in her mother's arms unsure of what to do. She was still upset but she felt safe somehow...like she belonged here.
"Your daddy LOVED you Hikari more than anything else! And I love you so much! Don't you listen to those witches! I TREASURE you Hikari and I always will. I've loved you ever since the day you were born and always will!" Miaka yelled tearfully her grip on Hikari tightening.
Hikari's tears welled over and she burst into tears in her mother's arms. She was so happy to hear that from her mama. She had always been unsure of if it was true; but now she knew that she was important to her mother and always would be.
"MAMA!" Hikari sobbed loudly into her mother's chest. Why were people so mean? Why did they hate her lovely mummy?
"HIKARI!" Miaka sobbed tearfully clinging to her child. She would keep fighting for her daughter and protect her from all the evil and cruelty out there. She truly was a light; a light of purity and kindness and she would never allow anyone to taint her light...ever.
