A/N: This is a fic I came up with one day sitting in math class. I thought it was kinda cute so I'm testing it out on ff.net. Tell me whatcha think. Disclaimer: Fushigi Yuugi isn't mine but Rosie is.
Babysitting AngelsIt was a nice calm day in Konan where we find a certain fiery haired seishi out on the palace grounds for a walk. Suddenly out of nowhere a small, winged figure fell out of the sky and landed right on top of him.
"What the fuck!" Tasuki exclaimed, jumping to his feet and shoving the tiny figure off of him.
"You swearded!" gasped the miniature figure, blue eyes wide.
"Oh sweet Suzaku! It's…It's little and has…wings?" the bandit stammered in shock.
The girl looked innocently up at him and Tasuki yelled "Chiri'!"
Almost instantly a blue-haired monk with inch long, gravity-defying bangs appeared next to Tasuki, the rings of his shakujo chiming.
"What's wrong, no da?" Chichiri asked in concern.
Tasuki was so shocked he couldn't speak, so the bandit pointed at the small, winged girl in front of him his mouth opening and closing in horror. The girl was about three feet high with medium length red hair and a white tunic with two rips in the back to let her downy wings out.
Chichiri jumped in surprise as realization came over him. "Oh my gosh! It's an angel, no da!" breathed the monk "How'd you get here na no da?"
"I dunno." The girl told him " I fell outta the sky 'cause my wings got tired an' I landed on that guy over there." she pointed at Tasuki " An' then he yelled at me an' you appearded outta nowhere an' an ... I wanna go home!" wailed the tiny angel, tears sliding down her cheeks.
Chichiri went over to the girl and gently picked her up. "Aww, it's okay little one." He told her soothingly "We'll get you home, no da."
The girl calmed down a bit and put her arms around Chichiri's neck, face buried in the monk's shoulder.
"It's okay, I've got you." the monk reassured. "Do you have a name, no da?"
The girl sniffled a bit as she lifted her face and wiped at her eyes. "Y-yeah." She stammered, voice no more than a whisper "My name's Rosie. Rosie Hiragashi."
"Just perfect!" Tasuki burst out, finally getting over his initial shock at finding an angel "We gotta look after a pint-sized nuisance now? Like we don't have enough shit to take care of already!" the bandit paced back and forth running a hand through his hair "What are we supposed to do with her Chi-san?"
The magician gave Tasuki a helpless sort of look. "I'm not exactly sure, Tasuki. I've never taken care of an angel before, let alone one so young."
"Hey!" Rosie piped up "I'm not a baby! I can take care of myself." she said indignantly.
"Yeah right, kid. Suuure ya can." Tasuki retorted sarcastically.
"I can so!" the girl shot back, flying out of Chichiri's arms and hovering at eye level with Tasuki "I'm five whole years old y'know!" She held up four fingers to prove her point.
"You can't even count right!" The hotheaded seishi returned, starting to get annoyed.
"Be fair Tasuki." Chichiri cut in "she's only five, no da."
"Five or not, we still ain't got time to look after a fuckin' kid!" the bandit cried in exasperation.
"You swearded again!" Rosie gasped, flying back a few steps "You need to be taught manners!" the girl raised her right hand and the palm glowed with an eerie white light.
Chichiri realized with horrible clarity what she was about to do. "No!" he yelled and jumped in front of Tasuki. He was just in time to block the ki blast and the small sphere of energy disappeared into the blue sky above.
"Rosie!" he shouted "You mustn't throw ki blasts!"
The tiny angel landed softly and hung her head. "'Men nasai." she said quietly, clasping her hands in front of her.
"It's okay, no da. Just don't do it anymore." the monk told her "Now, I have to warn the other seishi about this…ah…situation, so you'll have to watch Rosie alright?"
"What!?" Tasuki cried in horror "I gotta watch her? Why don't you watch her and I'll give the others the heads up!"
"Be reasonable, no da." Chichiri told the bandit "Besides, she found you first, so you should get to watch her." he added with an impish grin." Besides I think she likes you, no da."
With that he disappeared under his kesa, leaving Tasuki standing there staring at Rosie.
*********** This chapter's a little short 'cause it's kinda late and my brain stopped working but I think it'll be okay as a beginning. Tell me if this's worth continuing or not. 'till next chapter of whichever fic I get around to first. Oh yeah and here's a glossary of the Japanese words I used:
'Men nasai-short for Gomen Nasai which means 'I'm very sorry'
