Miaka and Yui sealed the book so the two worlds could not pass between each other anymore. But what if they weren't specific enough and the Gods interpretted it as they couldn't pass between the two worlds anymore?? What would happen if Suzaku needed help for his senshi??
The two newest members of Keisuke Yuuki's collegiate group of students, interested in Chinese Legend, stood together waiting impatiently for the group to begin their studying. The leader's younger sister was late as was usual for Miaka Yuuki; only three things at any given time occupied her mind: Taka, food, and Taka. And as such was an incredibly huge annoyance to the shorter of the two members, Sachiko Aijuntani. Sachiko was only about 5"3' with short, pixie-like lavender hair and large soul-searching periwinkle eyes. Her soft skin was a pale peach, she never tanned, and she was rather well-endowed. She had a fiery temper when riled and rather distrusting of people in general; but at the same time was incredibly loyal to her friends. No one knew much about Sachiko's dark past except for her best friend Takako Morimoto. One would wonder how such physically different women had become such close friends.
Unlike her short counterpart, Takako was 5'9" with long tan legs. Her slashing silver eyes could pierce to the center of one's heart and offset her waist-length ebony locks rather nicely. Takako had a soft smile than endeared her to everyone but was not a social person. She, herself had a rather large bust, but not as big as Sachiko's (and she teased her best friend about it endlessly). Her personality was very similar to Sachiko, except she was much more tranquil; hence why their friendship was so strong.
Both girls were rather slim but had enough meat on them to fill their figures favorably; which aided in their uniforms making them very attractive, though neither noticed such a phenomenon. Short, midnight blue, pleaded skirts with matching jackets adorned the two women, along with a white blouse and a striking red tie. While the uniforms were rather bland, personal touches made them unique. Sachiko always wore black, stiletto heels with her uniform and long silver hoop earrings. This of course differed from Takako who wore a seemingly endless amount of black and purple gel bracelets and a silver locket.
The warm, studious interior of the group's room on campus seemed to turn cold as Takako spoke, her soft voice floating melodious around the room, "How late did Miaka say she was going to be??"
Sachiko replied her annoyance for Miaka creeping into her voice as she rolled her eyes, "She called about five minutes ago. She had to stop and pick up Yui at her apartment," reaching over she glanced at her friend's pocket watch, "And it's starting to get late."
Keisuke only smiled, "They'll be here soon. And we can continue studying until they get here. Then Yui can tutor Miaka and," he nudged Tetsuya, "And you can tutor Yui."
Sunglasses adorning his face, the young man never lost his cool. With a mischievous smile, Tetsuya continued reading through his research. Being a rather impatient woman, Sachiko began to rummage through the group's horde of books. At the bottom of a cardboard box, that was quickly falling apart, she found an old leather bound book with gold writing on the binding. But the title was in Chinese and she couldn't read the language very well, "Huh…what's this book"
Takako glanced over and shrugged, "I haven't seen that one before. Where'd you get it Keisuke?"
His cheerful eyes glanced up and widened seeing the book they were holding was indeed The Universe of the Four Gods, "From a library. They were getting rid of it and it looked interesting, so I took it," he covered the true story with a lie.
With her petite hands, Sachiko moved to start flipping through the pages when Miaka and Yui walked in and with a sudden burst of speed Miaka snatched it out of her hands, "That one's mine! Don't open it!"
Takako rolled her eyes, "Chill, Miaka. It's just a book. What's it gonna do….eat me?"
For once in her life, Miaka stood speechless wondering if Takako knew how right she truly was. But nonetheless, she held the book tight to her chest possessively. Understanding, Yui walked over and gently placed a hand on Miaka's shoulder in comfort, "She's just a bit protective of it is all. It's very old and fragile."
"Ya could've asked me for it ya know?" Sachiko replied and sat down, "Can we get on with it? It's late; Taka-chan and I need to get home soon; more finals in the morning," she offered a soft smile.
Tetsuya returned the smile and sat up, "sure…I've got tonight's research here….somewhere, rummaging through papers everyone quickly sat in a makeshift circle, except for Takako. Looking at the group she merely asked her question, "I'm getting a drink. Anyone want one?"
Nods came all around, except from Miaka, who was sitting in-between Keisuke and Yui. She was running her fingertips across the book's cover as if reminiscing, "Taka said he couldn't make it tonight."
"You can tutor him later then," Takako replied while grabbing glasses for everyone.
Miaka smiled; Takako was always very nice to her. She suddenly remembered she needed her books to show everyone what she had found for their study group. Momentarily forgetting about the book in her lap, she jumped up sending it tumbling in the air.
Tetsuya saw it falling open first, "The book!"
"Grab it!" a panicked yell came from Keisuke.
Sachiko watched curiously and shook her head in confusion when she thought she heard the cry of a bird, "C'mon, it's just a bo-"she stopped when she started to glow red, "…Takako?"
The soft clinking of glasses informed everyone that Takako had returned to the study area, but confused, "What's going on?" When she too began to glow red, the glasses filled with various liquids dropped, spilling onto the floor.
The four friends watched horrified as the book finally fell open and their two newest companions vanished in the blinding red light, leaving only the open book in its wake.
Keisuke's soft comment of disbelief broke through the thick silence, "…oh no…"
Why didn't Miaka and yui get sucked in again??
Leme know what you think!!!!
