Still on an experimental state ... Anyway, here goes nothing.
DISCLAIMER: If I owned Fushigi Yuugi, Miaka would end up with Tasuki instead of Tamahome. Sooo much more manly and definitely not into that mushy romantic crap ...
"Let it be known that the Priestess of Suzaku has been found! " was the sentence that was repeated, over and over again, throughout the capital of Konan Empire.
The citizens were happy. Their savior was here! The rumor was soon spread to the local market.
A pair of deep blue eyes watched in annoyance at the crowd passing by. *How utterly and shockingly annoying* the owner thought, tutting.
The faint sound didn't escape the notice of the old man that was standing by, though. He turned his gaze to the person. "What is it, Hisoka? " he questioned.
Hisoka blinked at him, seemingly calm and unaffected by everything around them "What do you mean, father? "
The old man chuckled "You may fool others, but you don't fool me, child. Something's bothering you. Come on, out with it "
Hisoka shrugged, saying only a few words "The Priestess of Suzaku"
The old man smiled, his black eyes softening "It's time, isn't it, Hisoka … no, Urumiya? "
"Don't call me that. " Hisoka hissed.
"You can't avoid your destiny, my child " he sook his head. "Such is the will of the Gods, and it shall be done. Besides, you have to find another purpose in life, other than helping your old father in his travels, or cross-dressing to be able to do so. You have your dead mother's beauty, and yet you hide it. My beautiful girl, it is your time to shine. "
Hisoka sighed. Her faher's smile only made it worse. So what if Genbu had decided to help Suzaku and atone for the previous Urumiya Warriors? She wasn't from this country, she didn't worship any of these Gods. And she sure as hell had a purpose in life. To travel with her father, a wandering merchant, to help and guard him, even if she had to pretend to be a guy to do it.
Without her, what would he do? Go back to Japan and be a farmer, all alone in a house that would remind him of his long-gone wife? This would kill him.
No, she would make sure he'd be alright before setting off for that journey. Even if she'd have to bargain her services for that …
PREVIEW:
"The God of the North Cardinal point wants to atone for his previous mistakes and offers me, his warrior, to Suzaku's service "
"That's great! "
"Hardly "
Next Chapter: Who are you, again?
