Yukago:
A Post-Fushigi Yuugi story
By Pyro Kittie
Author's note: I have no claims to Fushigi Yuugi or the characters thereof, so don't try to sue me. It would be a waste of your time anyway since I am currently broke. Thank you.
Story Summary: As mentioned by the title, this is a post-FY fic. The main character is Yui and Nakago's son, Yukago. (For those of you who hate that pairing, you're not alone: so do I, although Nakago's an ok guy. I just thought I'd give it a shot.) He is out to search for Miaka, the Suzaku NoMiko, whom Yui has been searching for. He ends up finding hers and Tamahome's daughter, Koura, and falling in love with her. But the question is, where is Miaka? Maybe an old friend of hers could be of some help.
Also appearing in this fic are Hutsomi, Hotohori's daughter, and Tsukishiro, Tasuki's son, whom I also made up. They are, in fact, a couple, unbeknownst to their fathers. [Wait 'til they find out. this should be good. (::evil laughter::)] They meet Yukago and ultimately help him in his quest by introducing him to the old friend I mentioned before. Sound simple? It's not. You'll see why.
One more thing: remember the priestesses of Genbu and Byakko? How they're dead? Looks like two Gods are in need of priestesses, and I, Pyro Kittie, have provided them! You'll be surprised at who they are.
Well, that should have you sufficiently curious. R/R and enjoy. And just so you know, I don't accept flamers- any that are sent to me will be duly noted and ignored. Thank you.
Oh, btw, you may want to brush up on your Japanese. just a hint.
JA NE!! ^--^

Chapter One
Dusk had fallen on the city of Kouto and a young blonde and his mother were sitting outside the palace. "You're quiet tonight," she said to him. The teen just smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing. I'm just thinking about training tomorrow. I hope otou-san will take it easy on me- - I'm still a bit sore from today." She smiled back at him. "Your father can be rough, but you'll need it later in life. To defend yourself. Who knows when we could be attacked? The Emperor is sick, though I fail to see how that's a bad thing. We need all we can to protect the city and its guardian, Seiryuu." "Yeah, yeah, I know. You've told me a million times: 'Protect Seiryuu; defend your town; keep us safe; blah, blah, blah.' It can get old." The woman looked surprised at her son's sudden outburst. "Yuka. you've never spoken this way before. is something wrong?" "No. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to say that. I guess I'm just stressed. Maybe I should turn in early tonight. Some sleep may do me good." He kissed his mother goodnight and walked into the palace. The woman looked after him with a small smile. 'Oh Yukago,' she thought, 'What am I going to do with you?'
The next day, Yukago awoke to his father shaking him. "Ok, ok, I'm up! What is it that you want, otou-san?" Nakago released his son and stood over him. "It's not me that needs you at the moment. Your mother has requested your presence in our chamber. It sounded urgent." The teen groaned and laid back down in his bed. " Please tell her that I'll be with her as soon as I get another hour or two of sleep." "Iie." The older blonde grabbed his son by the shoulder. "I am not a messenger. I am a deliverer. Now change into some suitable clothes and go to your mother, or by Seiryuu I swear today's will be the worst training you have ever endured." He pushed Yukago off the bed and threw some pants and a shirt at him. "I mean it."
"Oka-san?" "Hai, Yuka." "You called me here?" Yui nodded and motioned her son to come forward. "Yuka. I know I ask a lot of you already, but there is something I need you to do for me." "Hai." "I need you to go south to Konon, the city protected by the phoenix god Suzaku. When you reach there, go to the palace of the emperor Hotohori. He is an old friend of mine, though we haven't spoken in years. He'll let you in. From there, you must find and talk to the Suzaku NoMiko, Miaka." "Miaka? But. what has she to do with us?" "She is my oldest and dearest friend, but I have fallen out of contact with her too, I'm afraid. The last letter I received from Konon was from Chiriko of the Suzaku Seven. He had asked if Miaka was here, because she had been traveling east to see me and was well past the date she had planned to return on. I went out myself and searched for her, but it was all for not. I couldn't find her. And I never received word saying if she had returned or not. That was eight years ago."
"Eight years? Surely she's returned by now." "I don't know. But I want you to find her, and after you do, bring her here." The teen nodded. "Of course. But why?" "Because," she said, "she and I were supposed to be arranging a peace treaty between Konon and Kouto. She was coming to let me know about it and deliver Hotohori's terms for me to look over when she vanished eight years ago. That's why our meeting is so necessary. That peace agreement must be reached or either one of us is subject to attack by the Kiaku Alliance." "Kiaku Alliance?" "They are a faction of defected nomadic tribes from the Genbu/Byakko region. They are ruthless and refuse to accept any of the Four Gods. They claim an unknown bear god named Kiaku is the truly omnipotent one; that Seiryuu, Genbu, Suzaku and Byakku are all weak cowards." Yukago chuckled at the thought. "That's ridiculous. There are none more powerful than the Gods, Seiryuu especially. You have nothing to worry about." The woman let out a hollow laugh. "Oh, Yuka. So naïve. Just because we have the Four Gods on our side does not mean that we are invincible. I could call Seiryuu and Miaka could call Suzaku and we could resurrect the priestesses of Byakko and Genbu to call their gods, but if their army is stronger than ours are, we're out of luck." He nodded again. "I understand." "So you'll go?" The teen bowed and saluted his mother. "I will."
Two days later Yukago was ready to begin his journey. As he was preparing to leave, he heard his father calling. "Hai?" "Come here." The younger blonde walked over to where Nakago stood. "Hai?" "Here. Take this with you." The shogun reached into a pocket and produced the back of an earring.
"Otou-san. what is this for?" The older blonde looked at his son. "Put it on the back of the earring you wear. Give me the one that's there now. By doing this we can talk with each other through them. You will be able to communicate with your mother this way too." "Nani? I don't understand." "Just do it." The teen nodded and obeyed. "There. Now, if you should ever need me, for any reason whatsoever, we can communicate thru these. Just contact me and I'll be there instantly." "Otou-san. why are you doing this?" The shogun's face softened. "You are my son, Yuka. If you are hurt or harmed in any way, Seiryuu help he who does it, because if I find him, he will be dead. I swore the day you were born that no harm would ever come to you; that you would in no way receive the life I have received. And I intend to keep that promise." "Oh, you don't have to." "Hush. Allow me to accomplish one thing in life I said I would do. Please." The teen reached over and hugged his father. "Shh. Calm down, Yuka. Now go on. Your mother is counting on you. So am I. So don't screw it up." Yukago laughed, got on his horse, and rode toward the city of Suzaku.
