2nd Gen Suzaku
Chapter One
I Am
"Sit still Lady while I finish your hair…" A maid said while trying to make the young princess' hair. The girl squirmed furiously she hated being smothered which was all to often.
"It's my birthday celebration…why can't I dress the way I want?" The young lady asked. She had waist length hair and was turning fourteen this evening. There were many times where she had chopped of her hair. This so called 'Lady' acted as though she were a young boy. This girl was educated and well mannered…at most times and around the people she had to behave around.
The empress walked in…Houki, Hotohori of the Suzaku sevens' wife. She watched her 'Precious Flower' Mei-Hua. Mei-Hua was not in particular beautiful but had this certain look that attracted people…far too many she believed.
"Mother, please allow me to be me…I don't wish to look like a little…sacrifice." Mei-Hua whined. "Let me be me…for today alone" She asked in as she cocked her head to one side while making a face. She was dressed in elegant lady clothing and her hair was finally put up.
"Alright," Houki said, "But please do not get too dirty." She finished smiling at Mei-Hua as her face brightened. Immediately Mei-Hua took down her hair and ripped of the first few layers of her gown. She changed into boys clothing, not noble blood boy clothing but just the average dressing. She was out the door past Houki within minutes.
Meanwhile elsewhere in this realm, a young boy picked at a scab he had gotten a couple of days ago. He had pulled his pants above his knee so he could pick at it. He was an orphan. His friends in the orphanage cringed as they watched him peel of the dry skin. He laughed at them and looked up. Outside the owners of the orphanage were talking about something. The young boy listened in on their conversation, they talked about it being the princess' birthday and how the orphanage was supposed to go and visit her. The boy muttered and stopped picking at his scab as the owners came in.
"I know we're leaving for the palace…" The boy said, as the owners were about to speak. No sooner then said were the orphans on their way.
Somewhere else in the palace a ten-year-old girl walked around. She walked around worried for it too would be the first time she saw the empress' daughter, Mei-Hua. The girls name was Tak-Shoo. Tak-Shoo was tall for her age and was dressed elegantly as she wished to look good everywhere she went.
That evening, Mei-Hua ran around and played with boys of the orphanage. When one of the younger boys from the orphanage fell he started to cry. Mei-Hua went over to him…
"What the hell did you do?!?" A boy yelled as he pushed Mei-Hua down. It was the same boy that was picking his scab at the orphanage. His hair was bright red and he had large canine teeth. He resembled Tasuki but truly had no relation to him. "I don't know what hole you came from but don't you dare touch my friends!!!" The boy threatened as he punched Mei-Hua in the stomach. Mei-Hua stood up warily and quickly tried to explain she didn't hurt him but the boy didn't listen he hit her in the gut again.
"I will have no more of this" Mei-Hua said as she drew her sword, "No boy ever hits a girl unless in self defense and I have done no wrong…" She said fiercely. She dodged his next attack and counter attacked by hitting him with the wrong end of the sword. He fell bruised and then said, "GIRL! You are not that…why would a girl hit a defenseless young kid." He replied with bitter despite. The girl stood up gaining grace and composure, "Who are you? My name is Mei-Hua." The boy also stood up and then replied coldly, "I am Shou-Yee, but I am a celestial warrior of Suzaku and you can call me Shou-Tamahome." At that Mei-Hua left suddenly.
"Yeah…I knew she wouldn't wanna fight with a celestial warrior." Shou-Yee said in a triumphant tone when, "Shou-Yee, you just beat the Princess up". The little boy who had fallen said in a meek tone while tugging on Shou-Tamahome's shirt. At that realization Shou-Tamahome froze and turned pale…
