A/N: I was so sad when Nuriko died that I wanted to write this…he was my favourite character… My first Fushigi Yugi fic! Yay! Hotohori's POV. (also I've only got as far as vol.9)
In Memory of Nuriko
I had that feeling that something had been wrong…I just didn't know what. When Miaka and the others came back my first question was: "Where's Nuriko?" It was Miaka who broke the news…I have to be honest, I broke down in tears.
I always hoped that all seven celestial warriors would live to see Suzaku summoned, I even hoped that we'd all live to a ripe old age, but that won't happen now… Nuriko wasn't even 20! Well…at least he met death honourably in battle, fighting against the Seiryu warrior Ashitare.
I remember when we all thought he was a woman and he was competing to be my empress. I suppose really…I did love him, but surely we couldn't have been…together…
I'm gonna miss those weird yet funny comments he made…I'm never gonna hear his voice again…
There's gonna be no man in drag to follow me and like me…
Then I realise…I'm really gonna miss Nuriko… I realise how much I really did like him, much more than I thought.
And so I say goodbye, goodbye to a great friend… But he'll always be in my thoughts and my prayers.
Goodbye Nuriko
THE END
A/N: Okay I dunno if you like it, I haven't really wrote a fic like this before… I haven't got to the bit where the Suzaku warriors see Hotohori again so I made that bit up. Please review, I wanna know if I'm any good at this type of thing.
