A/N: This does not follow the anime/manga.

Disclaimer: Fushigi Yuugi definitely does NOT belong to me. And I'm glad, 'cause if I was its creator, I would not have such freaking characters like Miaka and Tamahome wreck it by making them the lead characters. But I have much respect for Yuu Watase-sama, and I  do like Fushigi Yuugi, so…ALL HAIL YUU WATASE-sama! The title itself did not come from me. Meriadoc suggested it a long time ago so I could make a fanfic out of it (arigatou!)

Watashi no kOkOrO ~My Heart

"It's all over for you guys," a man in blue armor said as he raised his hand, up from his horse, and a ball of blue light built up around it, growing bigger and bigger, ready to strike a bunch of defenseless little star warriors. Beside him, on the same horse, was a girl, under a cloak, just staring at the poor people who were, in just a short time, going to die. A little boy was also there, smiling so wickedly. He was feeling great pleasure and excitement in seeing the people he so much hated about to get what they deserved.

They were high up on a hill, beside a cliff. The two groups of star warriors faced each other. Both their armies were fighting down the hill, one defending their country, and the other trying to invade and conquer it.

The man on the horse recalled the things they have gone through and reminded all of them about it. He gave out a silent laugh, and was now ready to fire his psychic beam that would mark their victory.

But just as he was to unleash his weapon, a guy with a red shining 'oni' symbol on his forehead appeared behind him, to save his comrades from danger. He jumped up high, his hands raised into the air holding a shiny sword that he intended to use to finish the general off.

A fanged boy scowled. His companions suddenly felt confused and wore weird expressions and especially deformed faces, for they didn't notice him going up there.

But then, just as the oni was about to stop the enemy from killing his friends, the blonde-haired general turned to him, raised his hand and, with a nasty grin, fired the enormous blue psychic beam, blasting the guy up in the air, to the cliff, melting his armor, burning his clothes, and causing him to fall out of sight.

The maiden of the phoenix's terrified scream was suddenly heard and, in shock, she fell on her knees and wept despairingly on the ground. She was calling out her loved one's name and crying her heart out, and all that her friends could do was just stare at her sympathetically. They couldn't even go near her at all. They all had grim looks on their faces. The girl under the cloak was also shocked seeing such a terrible thing happen to the man she used to love. She muttered guilt and conscience, as she turned to the man beside her. She never wanted to go this far. She didn't want anything like this to happen. The little boy on the other horse sniggered and had that demented look on his face again. He cackled out loud proclaiming the 'dear monster's' death.

And then, someone suddenly felt the urge to make the first move. The purple haired star warrior found herself walking away from his place and coming closely to the weeping girl. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and swallowed. He started by saying the girl's name, and she bent down to pat the maiden's shoulder. He whispered her friend's name again, but before he could even put a hand on her shoulders to comfort her, the maiden stopped weeping. She rose up, even though with tears still flowing down her cheeks, and looked into her loved one's killer's eyes with anger raging deep inside her.

She swore to make the bastard pay as a beaming red light surrounded her body and an enormous and elegant scarlet phoenix appeared behind her, spreading its wings and giving out a shrill and frightening cry.

The little boy gasped in horror the minute he saw this monstrous creature.

And as they looked towards the phoenix's maiden, she rose up from the ground eyes filled with tears and still fixed on the cold-hearted man, who didn't seem to care and only showed underestimation for the girl. The maiden let out one last tear drop from her eye, roll down her cheeks, and fall on the ground. The clinging sound of the tiny droplet of water from the maiden's lonesome heart signaled the upcoming end of the general's life. The scarlet phoenix gave out a deafening cry (scaring the man's horse that it neighed furiously and panicked, causing the girl under the cloak to fall off. The little boy immediately went down his own horse to catch her and protect her from the phoenix's monstrous wrath.) The phoenix charged at the dead warrior's killer, who tried to defend himself with his own power but failed. The phoenix and its miko, with the help of their other seishi succeeded in making their enemy falter. The general's body was burning away, starting from his armor, then his clothes, and his skin. The heat and flaming energy of the scarlet phoenix was seizing his life bit by bit. Truly, its maiden's anger and sorrow for the death of her most beloved was so deep and vengeful.

The enemy's leader was dying. He clenched his fists. 'Have I lost? Have I been defeated? Am I going to die without achieving my dream? No, this can't be. It just can't. I…I am…going to be…the ruler of the world. All of it…is supposed to be…mine. People will bow before me. They will bow at my feet. I cannot die. I must not…die. I…am…immortal.' He looked up and saw his maiden's face. She was staring down at him, eyes filled with tears. He whispered her name. Reminding the girl of her promise, he then asked her to make him invincible.

The girl held his hands tightly, repeating her promise, telling him to wait until she calls upon the sacred beast. That is when she could finally help him achieve his dreams. The blue dragon will make him the strongest man in the whole universe. She held his hands more tightly and whispered her words of love for him.

But the phoenix's power was yet too strong to be defeated. It was still burning up its victim's whole body, including his insides that he was gasping so hardly for air. He couldn't stop the sacred beast from killing him. Nobody could. He was still dying, whether he liked it or not. The maiden of the blue dragon was still crying holding tightly his hands begging him not to leave her. The general held up his hands, touched the maiden's face, wiped away her tears, and, to the little boy's surprise, told her that he loved her too. (Obviously, this is only another one of his FREAKIN' LIES!) And then, with one last gasp for air, he was covered in flames and was turned into ashes.

The maiden of the east then cried out so loud, it seemed so much like she was losing her self. The man she loved was gone. The young woman felt so much hate and anger inside her. She looked at her former friend loathingly, and just when she was about to stand up—she heard someone whisper her name. When she took a glimpse at this someone, she saw that it was the boy…the boy who was still there for her when there is no one else she can count on anymore. He was just standing there looking so worried about her. Then he whispered her name again…

The girl then smiled at him. She stood up, approached him, and, still smiling, said that they would now be going home. The boy smiled back at her and guided her up his horse. "I'm sorry to say that you may have won this time, Miaka," the girl said to the other maiden, with eyes not wanting to catch sight of her face. "But I assure you…" she had looked at her now, "We'll be back. And when that time comes, I'll show no mercy." And then, the Maiden of Seiryuu, the little boy, and the Kutou army soldiers withdrew and went back to the palace.

"Yui…" the Maiden of Suzaku whispered as she watched them leave. Then, with the rest of her companions, she also went back to their own palace, in the Konan Empire.

Sudden thoughts came into the minds of the Suzaku star warriors… They won. They have defeated the army of Kutou. They've killed their leader. Nakago was not to disturb them ever again. Konan could finally be at peace. The war would be ending… for now. They could finally relax and be happy once more. But, they were not happy. They've lost a comrade, a friend. Tamahome was gone. And, also…also, it didn't seem like they would be left in complete peace at all. The Seiryuu no miko's last words, "We'll be back…we'll show no mercy." The war has not, yet, ended after all. There would still be more. And who knows if they could ever survive it again…

Well that was pretty short. But what the heck, please review.
