The Right Kind of Wrong
By Izanami Hime
D/c Fushigi Yuugi doesn't belong to me. But you knew that already didn't you? The only characters that are mine are Lina, and anyone else who isn't in the show.
A/n This fic takes place in our world. To make this all work, I made Miaka and Yui 17. Lina is 15. Everyone else is that same age they were in the show.
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
"Are you sure Chiriko?" Lina Yuki leaned against the doorway. "It's supposed to be a really kickin' party."
The 13 year-old looked up from his textbook, and shook his head. "I'm sorry Lina but I have to study(1), and then I have to go to the Suzaku meeting."
"CHIRIKO! Since when do YOU need to study? And can't you blow off the meeting for once?" She pleaded to her friend. "Besides if you don't come, I'll be all alone…what if some creep attacks me?"
Chiriko smiled. "I pity any creep who attacks Lina Yuki. Why don't you ask someone else?"
"I already did. They're all busy, ya know considering they're all part of Suzaku, plus Nuriko said that he saw some Seiryuu punk around here."
"A member of Seiryuu was snooping around here again? I'm sorry Lina, but this means that I definetly won't be able to skip tonight's meeting."
Lina was now cursing her sister and that stupid gang of hers. "Fine, I'll just go by myself!"
Lina Yuki was determined to have a good time tonight, friends or no friends.
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
The sun was just beginning to set when Lina showed up at the park clearing where the party was to be held. She was dressed to impress in a lilac blazer, short skirt, and high heels which showed off her legs. Several guys were openly gawking, and she giggled to herself. It was always nice, even flattering to get that kind of attention at times.
A few feet away, as if to prove how much the universe loves irony, another teen was arriving. Unlike Lina he was not enjoying himself at all. In fact he was physically being carried into the clearing by two other guys.
"Oh come on guys, I really shouldn't be here." The brown haired boy tried to slip out of his friends grips, but they only held him tighter.
"Really guys, there's no need for this."
"Amiboshi, its summer. You need to relax."
"But I just wanna go home." Amiboshi complained almost whining. He hated parties, he just never seemed to fit in.
"Nope, you're gonna stay here and enjoy yourself, got it?"
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
A few hours later, the ten or so people in the clearing had become several dozen, and some of the latest hits were thumping through the air. Bodies gyrated punch was poured, and a good time was being had by almost everyone. Amiboshi glanced to make sure nobody was watching him and covertly slipped one hand inside his jacket. Time to make this party a little more enjoyable…
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
He slunk through the crowd. His target spotted from afar, laughing, dancing, and most importantly drinking. He reached into his jacket and drew out the bottle. She was talking to someone else, and had no idea how close he was getting.
A quick tip of his hand, and the pills dropped into her cup, melting quickly in the sugary punch. Unnoticed, he slipped back into the crowd. All he had to do now was wait…
She had such lovely brown hair…
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Lina blinked as she lifted the cup to her lips. What is that sound? It was a beautiful melody, almost drowned out by the stereo.
"Who could it be?" She wondered as she walked off into the bushes. Sitting on a rock, was a boy about her age and height. He had short brown hair, and wore a blue bandanna over his forehead. His eyes were closed, and he swayed slightly in time to the music he played on his bamboo flute.
"That's a beautiful tune"
Amiboshi was startled by her voice. Somehow this girl had snuck up on him.
He blushed as he realized just how incredibly beautiful she was.
"Uhm…thank you…"
"My name's Lina."
"Amiboshi. I am pleased to make your acquaintance, Lina." He lowered his flute, and returned it to his jacket pocket.
"I'm sorry I drew you from the party, Lina. I just felt the need play something."
"Don't worry Amiboshi. It was…beautiful."
Amiboshi watched her carefully, hoping he wouldn't say the wrong thing. "Well it couldn't possibly be as beautiful as you, Lina."
Lina paused uncomfortably. "Do you… want to dance?"
"Sure. Why not?" Amiboshi grinned boyishly and hopped off of the
rock. As they re-entered the clearing, the music changed and Amiboshi took
Lina in his arms.
"I KNOW ALL ABOUT, 'BOUT YOUR REPUTATION
AND HOW IT'S BOUND TO BE A HEARTBREAK SITUATION
BUT I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M HELPLESS
EVERYTIME THAT I'M WHERE YOU ARE
YOU WALK IN AND MY STRENGTH WALKS OUT THE DOOR
SAY MY NAME AND I CAN'T FIGHT ANYMORE
OH I KNOW I SHOULD GO
BUT I NEED YOUR TOUCH JUST TOO DAMN MUCH"
"What an odd song... I wonder what it's about?" Lina asked.
The song was upbeat, and good for dancing to.
"I think I know," answered Amiboshi as he held her a little
closer to him. This party was just getting better and better... he was
so glad he had decided to come...
"LOVING YOU ISN'T REALLY SOMETHING I SHOULD DO
SHOULDN'T WANNA SPEND MY TIME WITH YOU
I SHOULD TRY TO BE STRONG
BUT BABY, YOU'RE THE RIGHT KIND OF WRONG
BABY YOU'RE THE RIGHT KIND OF WRONG…"
Lina smiled as she looked up at Amiboshi. "Thank you for the
dance, good sir."
"No," smiled Amiboshi, "thank YOU..."
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Lina couldn't stop smiling as she sipped her punch. The others didn't know what they were missing. That Amiboshi had been one cute guy, and he was still giving her funny looks every few minutes.
She took another sip from her cup, and realized it was empty. She must have been thirstier than she thought. She shrugged and reached for another cup.
Lina staggered a little. Her vision was getting a little fuzzy for some reason, and the whole park seemed to be spinning. She turned to the man she was dancing with.
"I'm sorry... I think I need some fresh air..."
The man nodded. "Of course. Come on, I'll find you someplace
to lie down for a second..." Carefully, he wrapped one arm around her shoulders for support as they walked away from the crowd. By now, Lina's head was spinning, and she couldn't seem to keep her balance.
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Amiboshi watched as Alex escorted Lina out of the clearing. Odd, he
thought, she didn't seem drunk when I was dancing with her earlier...
On impulse, he decided to follow after them.
He was quite disappointed to see Alex grabbing her behind the
bushes. He had already hiked up her skirt, and opened up her
blouse. Her head lolled back and forth, and her eyes were shut.
"Taking advantage of a defenseless woman, Alex?" Amiboshi
walked forward and lifted his 'friend' by the neck. "That isn't very
courteous of you."
"Amiboshi... buddy! I was just having a little - ERK! - fun!" Alex tried to smile, but choked again as Amiboshi tightened his grip around the boy's throat. Alex was rapidly turning blue.
"It doesn't look like SHE'S having much fun, Alex." Amiboshi could already feel the handle of his knife sliding down his sleeve and into his hand as he pressed the cool metal blade against the side of the other man's face.
"And you are NOT... my friend. Not if you do things like this."
Alex was now turning white. "You... you aren't going to kill me, are you, Amiboshi?"
"Maybe I should..." Amiboshi sighed and put away his knife, "but
I won't. Get out of my sight, before I change my mind."
The other man ran, and Amiboshi leaned down over Lina. Nothing
had happened, thank God. He hiked her skirt back down and hastily
rebuttoned her blouse, which is hard to do with one's eyes closed
(after all, he was more of a gentleman than Alex).
He groaned. There was something about the way she wouldn't wake up that bugged him. Maybe he should take her to a hospital, or something?
Then he would come back and beat the crap out of 'good old' Alex. With that happy thought, he gently lifted the girl into his arms and slung her over his shoulder.
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Amiboshi was almost at the hospital when Lina started to wake up.
"Huh…Where am I?" She noticed that she was slung over someone's shoulder.
"What the hell. Put me down!" She pounded on the guy's back, until he finally put her down. She looked up to see who it was, ready to punch his lights out.
"Amiboshi? What's going on?" she asked confused.
"That guy you were dancing with, he drugged your punch, and well I think you can guess what he tried to do. I saw that you were acting strangely, and followed you. I stopped him before he could do anything. I was worried, because you weren't waking up, so I was taking you to the hospital." He hoped that she believed him.
Lina could tell that he was telling the truth. "Thank you so much. If you hadn't been around…" she trailed off.
She checked her watch and saw that it was getting late. "Well, I should be on my way home now. It's getting late."
"Um…could I walk you home? After what happened, it would make me feel better to know you were safe in your own home."
It would be nice to have someone to talk to on the way home. She smiled. "That would be nice, thank you."
They walked to the apartment Lina shared with her sister, talking every now and then but most of the time walking in a comfortable silence.
When they reached her door, Lina got out her key. "She's probably staying with her boyfriend again. Ugh, oh well." She muttered as she opened the door.
"Thanks for everything tonight. I really appreciate it. I hope we get together again soon." Lina scribbled her number down on a piece of paper, and handed it to Amiboshi.
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Amiboshi was on his way home, quite happy. Tonight he'd met a cute girl, and she wanted to see him again. He wasn't really paying attention to where he was going, and bumped into someone.
He mumbled an apology and started walking.
"Hey you, just where do you think you're going, Seiryuu trash?" Amiboshi turned around and saw just who he had bumped into.
"Oh shit." It was Genro, a member of Suzaku.
"Oh shit's right. You're in Suzaku territory, and we don't welcome Seiryuu scum like you around here."
Amiboshi didn't feel like fighting right now, plus he knew that he didn't stand a chance against Genro. So while Genro was giving his little speech, Amiboshi ran as fast as he could for his apartment. Genro wasn't stupid enough to follow him into Seiryuu territory.
Once he was safe inside the apartment he shared with his brother, he locked the door, and went into his room.
"What a night." He thought aloud. "That run in with Genro wasn't exactly on my to do list, but walking Lina home was worth it." He thought of Lina, and how awesome she was. "I'll definitely call her soon."
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
1) Chirko's so smart, that he even studies on the first day of summer vacation. Must keep his smarts higher than any other genius around, right?
a/n Ok, that's part one. What do you think? Should I keep writing this? I'm going to anyway, so it doesn't matter. Anyways, the Suzaku and Seiryuu gang rivalry is important, and the reason for even putting it in this fic will show up later on. But I think you can figure out on your own where I'm going with this.
