Note: Just because I was crazy in my last stories, doesn't mean I'm going to be just as insane in this story. Some characters are altered to benefit the story. Like some of the Byakko and Genbu warriors *which I have no idea what their power is so Im going to make it up if you dont mind!!!* So don't shoot me!! I didn't finish the whole series!! Im almost done. :)
Fushigi Yuugi: Internal Conflict
When you turn the page..the adventure begins....
Chapter 1: Return to Konan
"Oh my god! I'm late for school!!" Miaka said running around madly. She couldn't beleive she would be late as she was running around. She took a small breakfast out the door only to slam right into Yui. They both landed in the soft snow. She looked up as Yui rubbed her head.
"Hey, you are running late today," she mentions.
"Um...gomen!! I didn't wake up when my alarm went off!" Miaka explained. Yui got up and helped Miaka up as well. They both ran to school before they were seriously late.
It had been a while since they had their adventure in the book,"The Universe of the Four Gods". They were so glad to be friends again. They both managed to pass the entrance exams together and were now in highschool. They were so happy to be together again. So today they decided to study after school in the library together for a big test they had in their classes. As the day dragged by, school was finally over and both of them met at the library.
"Over here Miaka!" Yui said waving a hand. Miaka looked over to find Yui at a table already with her books open. Miaka ran towards Yui in delight.
"Hi Yui!" Miaka said to her loudly.
"Shhhhh!!" all of the people said to Miaka. Miaka gulped and sat down quietly. Yui almost laughed, but didn't want to get shushed down by a bunch of people herself. So she tried hold her laughter in by snickering a little.
"Uh..sorry," Miaka said quietly to Yui.
"Its ok," Yui said smiling. She closed the book she was reading and took out the book she was going to study with Miaka.
"Wow...its been a while...hasnt it," Miaka said looking at the door that used to hold the book,"The Universe of the Four Gods."
"Its been a while what?" Yui asked.
"Since we were in that book.." Miaka said.
"SHHHH!! Don't mention that book ever again," Yui said getting a bit upset. Miaka couldn't blame her. The story was really rough on Yui's side of the deal.
"I wonder if its still up there?" Miaka asked curiously.
"Look..if you are going to just keep thinking about that book..then we might as well study at home," Yui said getting up from her seat.
"Im sorry Yui.." Miaka said as she quieted down. Yui sat down again and gave a sigh. Then she started to review over with Miaka. They did this for a couple hours when it was almost time to leave. The announcements started comming on, repeating that they were going to close in a few minutes. Miaka decided to run upstairs to check out the back room. Yui groaned as she ran back up there with her.
"Miaka!! Wait up! Stop running!" Yui said as she ran after her. She stopped before she went to the door to the old dusty library upstairs. She was afraid to go back in. Miaka was in there looking for something.
"Come on Miaka! Lets go!" Yui said.
"No wait! I want to see if they still have that book here!" Miaka said looking around quickly.
"WHY ARE YOU SO INTERESTED IN THAT BOOK STILL?" Yui yelled angrily.
"It may have been bad to you Yui...but you can't blame me for wanting to see it again," Miaka said as she looked around. She finally found it. It was glowing on top of the shelf. She managed to grab it and pull it down. Yui hesitated to move in the doorway. Miaka opened the book. It some how was different. Instead of it saying,"The Universe of the Four Gods." it said instead,"The Internal Conflict of the Four Gods".
"Yui!! Look!! The story title changed on the book!" Miaka said.
"How do you know it is the same book?" Yui asked.
"Becuase the cover is the same," Miaka told her. Yui walked in slowly. She looked at the book.
"What do you think that means?" Yui asks.
"I really don't know," Miaka said. Miaka started to open the book when Yui closed it shut.
"Don't you dare open that book Miaka," Yui said. Miaka looked at her strangely.
"I doubt we need to go back into the book again," Miaka said.
"Please...just dont," Yui pleaded. Miaka looked at Yui's sad eyes. She stopped and put the book away on a lower part of the shelf. They then started walking out together. When this happened, the book all of a sudden dropped from the shelf. Miaka and Yui looked back. The book started opening by itself. They both grew wide eyed.
"No way..." Miaka said as the book started to glow immensly. A strong vortex came from it as it started to suck everything in including Miaka and Yui!!! They both tried to struggle as all you could hear was a scream....and then all there was was silence.
The next thing they knew, they woke up in a strange chinese city. Some where in the slum area, they looked around to take a look at their surroundings.
"Miaka...wake up!! Miaka!" Yui said trying to wake her up. Miaka finally woke up as she looked around herself.
"Where are we?" Miaka asked.
"You won't beleive this...but we are in the story again. It looks like we are back in Konan," said Yui.
"Konan??? THE STORY?? WE ARE BACK IN THE STORY??" Miaka said in sheer delight. Yui wasn't so amused as Miaka was. They both got up and dusted themselves off.
"What do we do now?" Yui asked.
"Lets find Hotohori!!!" Miaka said happily.
"If you say so..." Yui said as they started to walk together along the streets.
"Miaka....remember the time where you said you were only gone for a short while. Yet in the book, it felt like three months when I got sucked in?" Yui asked her. Miaka nodded, curious to know what was the point of the question.
"Don't you think that years have occured in the story by now?" Yui asked. Miaka looked at her now with a concerned face.
"And?" Miaka asked.
"Do you think everyone has died already?" Yui asked.
"NO! That can't be true! We only left them for a couple months..." Miaka said.
"I wouldn't doubt that they are already dead," Yui said.
"I hope not," Miaka said sadly as they walked towards the huge place Hotohori lived and ruled. They walked up to the gates and stared in. A gaurd walks up to them and pushes them away.
"Hey! Keep away from the Emperor's gates!" he growled.
"We are here to see Hotohori!" Miaka said.
"There is no one by the name here.." they said. Miaka gulped.....could what Yui have said..be true?
"Come on Miaka...we need to find another warrior I guess.." Yui said as she started walking away.
"Where...where is Hotohori?" Miaka asked. Miaka remembered Hotohori's face so well, it was so beautiful with his long hair flowing lightly across his face. She wished her was here. Then something just struck her. Could Tamahome be dead as well??? What about Mitsukake or Tasuki?? Chichiri? Chiriko?? Where are they??? Miaka bit her upper lip and followed behind Yui.
"They can't be dead!! They just can't be!" Miaka said.
"Hey!!!! I cant beleive you guys are back!!! This must be a miracle!" a voice said from behind.
"Its strange that they are back in our time of need ya know!" said another voice. Miaka's ears perked up as she turned around to see Tamahome and Chichiri standing there.
"TAMAHOME!!!" Miaka said as she jumped into his arms. Tamahome was startled, but happy she was back.
"Hey...I missed you so much," Tamahome said.
"I missed you too Tama chan.." Miaka said. Yui looked around.
"Oh its so good to meet up with some one we know," Yui said walking to them.
"Tamahome..where is Hotohori?" Miaka asked.
"Oh he is with us..there is something wrong with the palace..he got kicked out for no reason. They called him a fake emperor and he is now in exile," Tamahome said.
"Its great that you are back ya know! We really need your guys help! Something is wrong with the four gods ya know!" Chichiri said to them.
"What do you mean?" Miaka asked. A strange purple haired guy came up to the group. He looked at Miaka and smiled.
"MIAKA!!!! You are back!!" he cheered. Miaka looked strangely at him as she couldn't beleive your eyes.
"Nu..nu..Nuriko?" Miaka asked.
"The one and only!" Nuriko said as he came over and hugged Miaka tightly. Miaka felt pale, its as if she is seeing a ghost. Not only that...but the ghost was hugging her too. @_@''''
"Whats wrong?" Nuriko asked.
"Its nothing...." Miaka said.
"No! Dont hide secrets for me! Something is on your mind Miaka," Nuriko said.
"Its just that....I cant beleive you are alive again," Miaka said. Nuriko looked at her puzzled.
"I never died.." Nuriko said. Something struck Miaka as she felt strange. She looked up at Nuriko and then looked back down. Something serious came over her. She looked at Nuriko strangely again and then yelled,"HEY! Quit touching my butt!"
Nuriko looked at her strangely, then blushed as he took both hands off of Miaka.
"Uh opps...sorry!" Nuriko said with a grin that made her look like he was really embaressed.
"If Nuriko is alive...so is the rest of the Seiryuu seven," Yui said. Miaka nodded and agreed.
"What does this mean?" Miaka asked.
"Well something is wrong with the balance of the four gods ya know. Some type of conflict has arisen between Suzaku, Byakko, Seiryuu, and Genbu," said Chichiri.
"As a result...all 28 celestial warriors are force to fight against each other," Tamahome continued.
"Are we at war against seiryuu again?" Miaka asked looking at Yui. Yui was concerned as well.
"No, we don't have a specific target for now. Suzaku will tell us when he is ready though," Tamahome said. Everyone seemed so calm for now. Tamahome walked up to Yui slowly.
"Its good to see you again Yui," Tamahome said softly. Yui looked down.
"Same here..." Yui said quietly.
"Tamahome!! Bring us to the others!!" Miaka said.
"Uh..RIGHT! Lets go join up with the others!" Tamahome said as Miaka grabbed his arm tightly and they went walking off in that direction. Miaka then stopped, realizing she should wait for Yui.
"Come on Yui!!!" Miaka said. Yui groaned and walked up to her.
"I don't know if returning to this book was such a great idea.." Yui commented.
"Oh don't worry about it! Probably this time Seiryuu and Suzaku will work together!" Miaka reassured her as she smiled, hoping Yui would smile too. Tamahome and the rest stared at Miaka.
"This time? Was there a last time besides our adventures together?"
Tamahome asked. Miaka gulped and kept her mouth shut. They were just story
character...yet both Yui and Miaka knew they were way more than that. Miaka
and Yui walked along with Tamahome, Chichiri, and Nuriko along the streets.
It was busy with life as many people walked around carrying food and offering
neat oriental trinkets to young ladies. Some guys flirted a little with
Miaka and Yui, but one quick glare from Tamahome sent them moving along
very quickly. Yui felt very uncomforterable, there was a growing desire
to leave this place right away. Yet she knew she couldn't leave, another
story had come into play. Their play. The one mysterious play that they
would have to act til the end. Yui was prepared for anything. Hoping Nakago
and the rest might of at least changed in this story, she could only hope
for the best. Yui walked closer to Miaka and Tamahome, she could feel something
bad comming and she didn't like it.
