Reincarnation

*Note: Okay I got bored one day and came up with this weird follow up to Fushigi Yuugi. I tried to follow concepts of reincarnation in Buddhism and stuff. But it takes place after the ovas (I forgot what happened in the lot of the ovas so sorry if something is off). Miaka and Taka have a baby boy and they name it Seihitei after Hotohori of course. And no one kill me but Miaka and Taka move to America. The whole fic takes place in America. I did this for two reasons. One, I know much more about America than Japan. And Two because I couldn't think up any Japanese Names that wouldn't be obvious. So be nice ^-^. This is my first Fushigi Yuugi fic.


Chapter 1: A New Beginning

It was a few years later after the whole insident with the "Universe of the Four Gods." Miaka Yuuki and Taka Sukunami, who were seemingly destined to be together, finally marry and have a son. After the great emperor of Konan, a country in a whole different world together, was their son named Seihitei. Taka's soul was originally from that world, however his love for Miaka reincarnated him in this world. They thought no one else would follow.

Miaka and Taka dearly loved their son and did almost everything with him. When Seihitei was three, the family decided to go overseas so Taka could watch over his aging grandmother in San Fransico. While there, the Sukunamis realized that they enjoyed America better and decided to stay after Taka's grandmother's passing. In her will she left a lot of money to Taka and with it Taka opened up a martial arts school.

His school quickly gained a reputation as did Taka and his impressive fighting skills. Taka made a lot of money off his school. He was a born capitalist and loved to make his money Miaka went ahead and started a career of her own and taught Japanese at a local High School. Seihitei adapted quite well to the change.

When Seihitei was 6 years old, Taka began to teach him the martial arts. Seihitei was good at it but no where near as good as his father. The son actually found it a bit boring.

As Seihitei started to grow older, taking on a lot of the looks of his father, he was quite quiet with a charm that a lot of the girls at school just melted over. He was a trend setter and Taka often pondered that it took Seihitei longer to get ready for school than it took most girls. Seihitei was a perfectionist that often drove his somewhat laid back mother crazy. He would complain if his hair wasn't just right or if anything was too messy he would even complain if a shirt was no longer "trendy".

As for his free time, he enjoyed reading manga, the shojo types which a lot of guys at school teased him for. Miaka realized that he was a bit of a hopeless romantic. He enjoyed watching soap operas and had a few he asked his mother to type. Seihitei gave off this vibe to both his parents that he was awfully like someone. However, neither of them could put their finger on it.

When the son was about 12 years old, Taka decided to join forces with a local kendo school. Seihitei, fascinated with kendo, decided to give it a shot. As soon as he picked up the sword, it was like he was holding an old friend. He demonstrated ability that was beyond a beginner. The kendo teacher was amazed at young Seihitei's ability. So was his parents. Miaka and Taka, watching their son giving the kendo teacher a run for his money with gaping holes for mouths, realized that something was different from their son than they thought. Then it hit them...Seihitei was extemely like his name sake.

The two discussed this that night in bed. However, after much discussion, they came to the conclusion that it was a coincidence and the Siehitei is like Hotohori because of the name.

Where our story starts to kick in is about 5 years later when Seihitei is 17. Taka was teaching his purple belt class, the class that also had Seihitei in it (he kept up his martial arts but focused more on kendo). Seihitei, warming up on the floor, suddenly felt like he was being pushed over by some incredible force. He did not even have to look up.

"Hi Carmella," he said with a grin. He turned around to face a small, wirey Hispanic girl with incrediabley long wavy black hair all up in a bun. She had an enormous grin on her face and a taunting glint in her eye. She was a little bit younger than Seihitei, only about 15. However, Seihitei thought she was just an amazing person. She was pretty and funny and fun to be around. He was always kind to her and for her birthday and for Christmas would often give her the best present out of anyone. Carmella, however, went for a different guy.

"Good you see you Seihitei," she grinned. Her eyes wondered toward the door as another boy walked in. She jumped up and tackled the boy in a choke hold. Carmella was a big wrestling fan. Seihitei looked sullenly at the boy. Greg Roberts was his name. And Seihitei had no clue what Carmella saw in him. However, Seihitei told himself it is better to have Carmella as a friend than not at all.

Carmella was sitting on Greg's back pushing on his ankle when Taka walked in. "Carmella, could this wait until after class?"

Carmella jumped up agilily, her smile not wavering, "Of course Taka-sensei!"

"Alright, I am not going to even ask if you are warmed up," Taka told Carmella with a grin.

"You are getting to know me," she giggled.

"Yes of course," Taka said as he looked over the class to see who was here. "Alright you all seem to be here except for David. Let's begin."

The class was almost through their first excersize when a boy about 13 years old came into the dojo, all bright red as if he had been running in fact he was carrying a track bag. His hair was blond with red highlights and his face was covered in freckles. His face told people that if you mess with him you get severely hurt.

To add to his tardiness, he chucked his track bag across the room letting it slide to hit the wall. He threw off his jacket in a similar fashion to reveal his karate outfit. After this was done, he said, "I'm all set now."

"You are late, David," Taka said warningly.

"And you are an old fart," David sneered. "Can we get on with our lives?"

Letting out a grin, Taka, threw a series and kicks and punches at David all which David blocked. David was able to return a few at his instructor until Taka was against the wall. When that happened, David bowed to the rest of the class.

Then he taunted, "I beat the instructor!"

"I just let you win," Taka insisted like a 12 year old.

"Yeah sure, you wrinkled prune," David replied non-chalantly.

An exchange went back and forth for a bit. However, this happened almost every class. It was all in good fun. Neither of them were serious. David just liked to argue with his superiors, everyone from his dad, to the nuns at his Catholic school, to his karate instructor. While Taka on the other hand, while David just plain annoyed him sometimes, thought he was a passionate fighter. He held a lot of respect for David. Especially when David's dad came to Taka saying David had an "anger problem" and thought karate would be a place where David could release his anger. It worked. In fact Taka believed that it was David's anger that made him so good and a purple belt at 13.

After the fight, the class continued on uneventful. Soon, the class was over and all headed home. Seihitei and Taka headed home afterwards. Seihitei looked longingly at Carmella as she flirted with Greg and David. Taka noticed his son looking at Carmella and Seihitei looked back blushing a bit. Thats the last thing he wanted was his father to tease him.

"You like her don't you?"

Seihitei nodded going SD.

Taka just smiled knowing his son was now embarrassed with Taka saying anything and they continued home. When they arrived home, Miaka had cooked a nice dinner (she had been practicing) and announced she had gotten two letters, one from her best friend Yui and one from her older brother Keisuke.

The one that Yui had wrote was to thank them for the fox tail that Miaka had sent Yui's son, Aki who was about 15 years old. She said he plays with it all the time and is actually quite good. She also mentioned some bizaar weather patterns and some tremors that were taking place in Tokyo.

Keisuke mentioned the weather patterns and the tremors in his letter. However, Keisuke joked about it saying that it was the end of the world and these were the signs. Taka and Miaka laughed over the joke. However, Seihitei, who normally had a good sense of humor, just tightened up in his seat. He suddenly felt very uneasy. Miaka and Taka stopped in their amusement to look at their son.

"Is something wrong, hon?" Miaka asked.

"Nothing's wrong," Seihitei insisted. "I just realized that my shirt is from last season." He forced a grin as he made fun of himself. Taka and Miaka just looked on suspciously.
