Okay, okay. ^^; Yes, it is another one of my insane stories… @_@ But it's summertime! @_; But then again, school is starting in nine days, for me. So don't get prissy if I don't update this story up-to-date after August 26th.

Oh, character notice… the new characters you will be discovering are very similar to the Suzaku Seishi. O.o; It's hard trying to figure out the backgrounds of new seishi! +:wails her arms around, irritated:+ Including new looks!

Reirei: +:sends Satil into a mental hospital, sighing:+ Onto the show…

------------------

"Your basketball skills are going downhill, Maoni-san," the substitute basketball coach complained, his arms crossed in front of his chest. "You did a good job in the beginning of the season, but now you're slacking."

Maoni Reirei leaned against the wall, her eyes not on the coach, but the floor. She held her basketball protectively in her arms in front of her chest.

"You were the best player in the Yotsubadai Highschool Girl's Basketball Team," her substitute coach continued. "What's going on, Maoni-san?"

Reirei bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say. Then, "Don't pry into other people's business." With that said, she turned and left the stuffy gymnasium and into the locker room, where her friends Mayo and Saori were just getting done changing.

"Hey, Reirei," Saori greeted, grinning. "What'd the sub-coach want?"

Reirei shrugged. "Saying I'm slacking. Boy, if Sukunami-sensei was here, I'd do so much better. At least he encourages me and helps me on my skills."

"Sukunami-sensei, huh?" Mayo said, flatly.

"He's a pretty good coach, isn't he?" Reirei asked them. She was already bare-naked, with only a towel wrapped around her. "I hope he and Yuuki-san are doing fine in their lives."

"Well, we're off," Saori announced. "Raori's party, remember?"

"I'll take a shower here, then I'll meet you guys there, 'kay?" Reirei was already in the showers.

"Okay, ja," Mayo and Saori left the locker room, leaving Reirei to think she was all by herself.

'God,' she thought, still shampooing her hair. 'Life is so horrible right now. I would've told Coach that my parents are going through a divorce, and are having constant arguments. And, just so my dad could piss my mom off, he brings home his girlfriend! Then, my three-year steady boyfriend told me that he didn't want to see me anymore, because he doesn't want commitment. Right after I told him for the first time that I loved him, too…' Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the doors swing open, then shut. She listened, becoming quiet.

"Hello, is anybody there?" she called, waiting for an answer. But when she didn't get one, she continued to shower.

She heard another noise, but only shrugged it off. And then another, but this one sounding as if somebody stepped into the wet floor behind her, making a squishing sound.

Instantly, Reirei turned around, and saw her twenty-eight year old coach standing there, wearing a nasty and excited grin.

"No!" she cried, then made a run for it. But due to her damned bad luck, she slipped and fell onto the floor; her head making a loud 'thud' as it hit the ground. She was on her back, and unfortunately, couldn't get up because her ankle was wrenched. Her extreme headache kept her from being able to say anything, or move around.

The last thing she saw before everything blurred out, her coach got on top of her, still wearing that disgusting grin…

-

Reirei woke up, drowsy, along with a severe headache and a wrenched ankle.

"What… happened…?" she thought out loud, feeling dizzy.

Flashes of her coach on top of her appeared in her mind.

"Oh, God, no!" she exclaimed, instantly getting up to her feet, realizing she was wearing her school uniform. "No… no!" In the blink of an eye, she ran (AN: or limped in extreme speed for a gimp… whatever floats your boat. XD) out of the school in disbelief.

'I wasn't… I wasn't!' she thought, miserably. She kept repeating the same thought, until she finally cried out, "I… WASN'T!" From the tears that were coming unstoppably, and her weak ankle, she fell down to the floor, right in front of the National Library.

"I was… I was…" she whispered, scared more than anybody else at the time in the city of Tokyo. Her eyes darted from the ground over to the National Library. It was only 5pm, and the library closes in an hour.

'I'll go in there and clear things up,' she thought. 'There's a room that nobody goes in, but I will.'

Slowly getting up to her feet, she limped towards the library. Luckily, when she stepped into the building, nobody paid much heed to her disastrous appearance.

Walking over to the flight of stairs off to her left, she felt the pain from her ankle increase. She groaned, obviously not feeling so hot. But when she reached the top of the stairs, pretty much out of breath, she opened the door that had a sign that read:

Important Documents Reference Room

Employees Only

'Forget it,' she thought, grimly. 'I've just been raped. Nothing matters at all anymore.' Lazily, but cautiously, she opened the door and slipped into the dark, musty room.

-

A young boy watched the injured girl slip into the restricted room. Curiously, he followed her…

-

Limping like the gimp she is, she went over to the farthest aisle on her right, and sat down, leaning against the case of books. She closed her eyes, thinking of what she should do.

'Tell somebody?' thought Reirei. 'No… I'm not exactly ready. But what am I going to do about basketball…?'

'……

'I'm sure as HELL I'm not going back until Sukunami-sensei takes the position of coach back.

'Yuck, I can't believe my sub-coach did that to me…

'Don't think about it, Rei…

'But he's been giving me looks all season! I should have known…

'I hate men. They're all a bunch of jackasses, anyway. My abusive father, a scared shitless boyfriend, my coach…' she shuddered.

Stretching out her legs, she hit something with her foot. Opening her eyes, she saw that it was a tattered, red little book.

"Oh, what's this…?" she picked it up, and opened it to the first page. She raised an eyebrow, when the first page revealed nothing. Not a single word. "What kind of book is this!?"

Setting the book aside, she sighed and stared blankly at the bookcase in front of her. "I'm not longer clean…"

-

The Tiger God watched her from the Clouds of Heaven up above. He observed her injuries, and dug into her thoughts.

She has the will to call upon me… he thought, looking at her closely.

-

Reirei looked over at the book. She examined it closely, then noticed there was Ancient Chinese lettering on the front cover. Luckily, she was able to read what it said from the extra classes she took in middle school.

"'Shijin Tenchi Sho'…?" she took the book in her hands and opened it again. Unlike before, there were words appearing on the first page!

"This… can't be!" she gasped, and began to read what was being written. "'The meaning of new Shichiseishi being born, meant a new Miko needed to be found.'

"That's weird. Shichiseishi, a Miko…?

"'The Shichiseishi of Byakko were already being born, along with Genbu's and Seiryuu's. Byakko Seishi had to fulfill their reason of existence. They had yet to meet their Miko…'

"What does that mean?" As soon as those words slipped out of her mouth, a wihte light shone from the book, engulfing Reirei in it. "What is this!?"

Everything around her disappeared, replaced by the bright, white light. And before the confused high school girl stood a tall, broad man. He had long, beautiful white hair that flowed all around him, his sideburns wrapped in a silky, gold band. He had a charming face, with cat-like eyes the color of green, pointy nose, and full, luscious crimson lips. His body was built, wearing a long, white coat with the collar and trims the color of gold. The pants he wore were also the color of gold, but his knee-length boots were white.

To make him any more intriguing, he had beautiful, soft, feathery wings that enveloped himself and Reirei.

"Who…?" Reirei had a shocked look upon her cute, pudgy face.

"Be calm, Maoni Reirei," the beautiful man before her spoke, looking at her gently. "I am he Avatar of the Tiger God, Byakko. I have called upon you…"

"Byakko?!" Reirei repeated.

But he disappeared before her, and everything around her became white.

-

Moments after Reirei disappeared, the boy who was watching her from afar picked up the book and began to read the text that was appearing on the pages.

"'The girl from another world woke up in a desert, the heat beating down upon her sore body…'"
