Holy crap! She lives! She lives! Yes my darling readers I am alive and well. Sorry for not being around in forever, and I do mean that literally. School and work have been hectic and I haven't had the time to really sit down and write. But, this new idea came to me and I couldn't resist, so without further ado here is my first EVER Boys over Flowers/ Inuyasha Crossover! Yay! (throws confetti into the air)
For those of you who don't know what or who Boys Over Flowers is (Shame! Shame!) It is this absolutely cute Korean drama! If anyone wants to see it go to w w w. drama fever . Com (without the spaces) or if you want go to drama beans and just read through the episode guides. Ahahaha. Pairings are as follows:
Jun Pyo & Jan Di
Yi Jeong & Ga Eul
And…
Woo Bin & Kagome! (I love that Mafia Prince and since he got no lovin' in the drama this makes up for it! Yay!)
Ga Eul yawned as she woke up that bright Saturday morning, well afternoon. She had stayed up with Jan Di late last night talking about Jun Pyo and the F4 and went to bed during the wee hours of the morning the next day. Thankfully for her she didn't have anything to do today so she could laze around.
Climbing out from her tangled bed sheets she reluctantly put her feet on the cold wooden floor and shivered. Getting up she arched her back and smiled when she heard a crack. Ga Eul's eyes dropped toward the photo on her bedside table and that smile turned into a sad frown as she gazed at it.
Determined not to let past memories ruin the rest of her day, Ga Eul walked past the photo on her bedside table and into the small bathroom of her apartment. There she did her morning ritual before coming out and changing into a simple outfit consisting of jeans and a white t-shirt with a cute picture of Hello Kitty. Throwing her hair up into a pony tail she went out of her bedroom and walked down the small hallway before entering her kitchen.
Toast in hand she went out of her cozy apartment complex and downstairs into the lobby where she could pick up her mail.
Greeting the old lady who lived a floor beneath her Ga Eul quickly grabbed her mail from her cubby and hopped back into the elevator. She wanted to get back to her apartment and call Jan Di, they still had so much to talk about!
Once she was back in her apartment Ga Eul ideally flipped through her mail as she searched around her kitchen for her cell phone. Knowing Jun Pyo, he had probably dragged her to hang out with him , and possibly the other F4, at one of their many lounges. Ga Eul was just about to call her friend when a letter with an intricate gold border caught her attention.
Curious, the young seventeen year old put down her cellphone and opened the letter. Taking the equally intricate card out from the envelope she opend it and began reading. As she read through the letter the parlour of her face went ash white and her hands began to tremble. Hastily picking up the envelope she looked at the date it was sent then back to the date written on the card.
"Tommorow…" Ga Eul whispered, feeling her throat begin to swell with the effort not to break down crying. Not knowing what to do, Ga Eul grabbed her phone and called her best friend, Geum Jan Di.
Jan Di resisted the urge to roll her eyes as Jun Pyo went on a glory streak about how he was the best at the racing game he and Woo Bin were playing. She smiled over at Ji Hoo's form as he dozed on the recliner and chuckled at Yi Jeongs annoyed look as he stared at the bickering Jun Pyo and Woo Bin.
It was times like these that made her happy. Jun Pyo's mother got caught up on a bussniess deal so the young couple could have some time to themselves before she came back on a rampage.
"Jan Di," Ji Hoo's voice broke her train of thought "Your phone is ringing."
Jan Di shot him a thankful smile, one that Jun Pyo saw with mild irratation, and fumbled for her phone. Seeing the caller idea she happily answered.
"Ga Eul!" she chirped, a smile on her face. The F4 were curious when they saw that smile turn into a frown.
"Yah, Ga Eul calm down. Breathe." Jan Di instructed, worried "I can't understand a thing your saying when your crying. Calm down."
At the mention of Ga Eul crying, Yi Jeongs attention snapped towards Jan Di as she talked on the phone. He wouldn't admit he was worried, he was just curious. Really. Even Woo Bin and Jun Pyo had stopped their bickering to listenly raptly to what Jan Di was saying.
"I…she…letter…tomorrow…" Ga Euls voice said through the phone. Jun Pyo got up worriedly when his girlfriends face went completely white and she dropped her phone.
"Yah, is everything ok?" Yi Jeong asked, trying to sound disinterested.
Jan Di quickly grabbed her phone and brought it to her ear again.
"Ga Eul," she said, voice shaky. "Please tell me your joking."
There was a long silence on Jan Di's part as she listened intently on what her friend was saying. Finally she cut the call, only to smash her phone against the floor in anger and running a hand through her hair while giving a frustrated sigh.
"What the hell happened?" Jun Pyo asked annoyed at the change of mood his girlfriend displayed.
"I need to go," Jan Di said, abruptly standing up and grabbing her jacket.
"Is everything ok?" Woo Bin asked, concerned with the recent behaviour of his best friends girlfriend.
"No," Jan Di said quietly "It's not ok. Ga Eul is really in trouble right now…"
No one noticed Yi Jeongs worried expression, he wanted to ask what was going on but refrained.
"Then let's go!" Jun Pyo said, grabbing his girlfriends hand. He turned to the rest of his friends, "You guys coming or not?"
The F4 quickly assembled and got into their cars. They were surprised when they reached Ga Euls apartment complex that Jan Di practically jumped out of Jun Pyos car and ran into the building, taking the stairs two by two to reach her friends floor. But with Jan Di's usually stupidity she didn't notice the F4 getting into an awaiting elevator and going up there in a less vexing way.
By the time Jan Di was on Ga Euls floor the F4 were already there waiting paitently. Jan Di stopped for a minute to catch her breath and glared as Jun Pyo chuckled. Straightening up she swung the door open to Ga Euls apartment, not bothering to knock, with the F4 right behind her, every step of the way.
Seeing Ga Euls tear stricken face both Yi Jeong and Jan Di frowned. Jan Di quickly crossed over to the other side of the room and grabbed the letter in Ga Euls hand before slumping down next to her on the couch. Ga Eul continued to softly weep and the F4 were more than puzzled.
"Yah!" Jun Pyo said annoyed, sitting down on the other couch in Ga Eul's small living room, his friends doing the same. "What's going on here?"
Yi Jeong made a move to grab the letter that seemed to be the cause of all this but was surprised when Jan Di snatched it up.
"My…" Ga Euls throat seemed to work for a minute. "My…"
"Her sister is coming tomorrow!" Jan Di blurted out.
"Half sister," Ga Eul fixed miserably.
There was a long silence in the room before Jun Pyos hardheadedness kicked it right out the window.
"Is that all the fuss is about?" he said in a bored tone. He gulped at the glare Jan Di directed at him.
"Since when have you had a half sister Ga Eul-yang?" Woo Bin questioned curiously.
Yi Jeong continued to stare at Ga Eul, concerned. The Casanova of F4 had a feeling there was more to the story than the two girls were letting on.
"Is there something more to the story?" Ji Hoo asked in his soft voice. Jun Pyo let out an annoyed grunt as his girlfriend gave her ex-crush a sad smile.
"Long story," she said "You sure you want to hear it?"
"Yah, of course we do!" Woo Bin said "We gotta know what's making all this gloom and doom!"
Jan Di slumped back into the couch and looked expectantly at Ga Eul who gave a bitter laugh, surprising the F4.
"My, wonderful father," she began "Was married once before he had married my mother. He came from the prestigious line of shrine maidens and priests, in Japan. The Higurashi family."
Jun Pyo made a sound of recognition but let Ga Eul continue.
"My father had an arranged marriage to one of the branch families of the Higurashi clan," Ga Eul continued, in a strong but somber voice "As far as arranged marriages went it was unpleasant. Kun-Loon, his wife, was hopelessly in love with him but he wasn't with her. But as a result of the marriage and pressures from the clean head they convieved a child, Kagome. My half sister."
Ga Eul took a shuddering sigh, a result from crying previously.
"Kagome was everything the clans head wanted in a child. And even though she wasn't a boy as he had hoped for he knew she was special." Ga Euls voice turned somewhat fond at the mention of her half sister, though the sad expression on her face remained. "A few months after her birth though my father had had enough. He was in love with my mother and had been having an affair with her behind Kun- Loons back. No good Casanova."
At the mention of his status Yi Jeong flinched involuntarily. Woo Bin shot his friend a pitying look before turning his attention back to Ga Eul.
"She was naturely heartbroken and sought a divorce immediately. When my…grandfather" Ga Eul hesitated as she said the term "Found out he was furious. He absolutely adored Kun-Loon and despised my mother. My father was disowned but Kun-Loon kept ties with the family. Grandfather took her, her father and Kagome in with him. My father was free to marry my mother and do as he pleased. Two years later, when Kagome was about two I was born."
"So Ka-go-me" Woo Bin pronounced the Japanese name "Is our age now?"
Jan Di nodded and Ji Hoo raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Caged bird?" he murmured to himself.
"Just a few years after my birth my fathers mother demanded we go and visit her. My mother was timid, and didn't go. She knew she had caused enough problems with her husbands family. So off me and my father went. I remember being so excited, I would meet more of my family." Ga Eul laughed bitterly as she recalled the memory. "When we had gotten up the shrine steps I saw a young girl, a few years older than me dressed in the traditional shrine maiden outfit. I remember thinking she was amazing and stopped to stare at her as she hit target after target with her bow and arrow. Father had stood next to me and watched in a solemn silence. Before he could stop me I broke away from him and ran towards the pretty girl, wanting to meet her."
Yi Jeong had a feeling this story was going to take a turn for the worst.
"Papa! I yelled, wanting him to come and meet her too. The girl immediately stopped and looked at us. Another thing that made me want to meet her, be like her. Her eyes, twin sapphires against her pale skin. It was then I noticed she looked somewhat similar to me. I had bounced up to her and gave a bow before giving her an enthusiastic hi. She looked like she was going to talk to me but another woman, even prettier than my mom, in my opinion, came out and dragged the young girl in. Hours later we were in a large room. My grandfather was sitting like a king on his large chair, Kun-Loon beside him. Kagome standing beside him in a kimono. He looked at me and said…"
Ga Eul stopped to breathe through the hurtful memory. Jan Di placed a comforting hand on her friends back and the F4 exchanged sad looks between them.
"This is the abomination that you left Kun-Loon and Kagome for?" she finished her grandfathers sentence "At the time I didn't know what that word meant. But my grandfather, the cruel man he was continued on. Did you know, he said to me. That this girl, this beautiful and talented girl is your older half sister? Kagomes eyes had widened and she glared at my father. She knew the story of his betrayal but I didn't. I was genuinely happy I had an older sister. But my grandfather crushed my happiness even as my kind granmother tried to stop him. He told me about the affair, Kun-Loons suffering and Kagomes fatherless life. At that moment I hated myself and I hated my father. I had run out of the compound and kept running till I was in the forest. That was where I met Jan Di."
Ga Eul couldn't seem to continue her story so Jan Di jumped in.
"After that me and Ga Eul became fast friends. My parents had been visiting family and with nothing to do we just spent time together. We would try to keep away from her grandfather as much as possible. He hated her and 'everything she represented'" the young girl rolled her eyes "But we would always spy on Kagome. Just for the fact that we thought she was the most amazing thing in the world. Even at such a young age everyone knew she would be amazing. Kagome was graceful, cute, polite, well mannered, admired and a prodigy. But never did we have the courage to talk to her. Then one day I remember Ga Eul and I were playing when I fell and hurt my knee. It was a really bad scrape and it was bleeding a lot, so Ga Eul went and got the first person in sight."
Ga Eul decided she could continue the story and resumed from where Jan Di left off.
"I was scared, as any child my age would be and the first person I saw was Kagome. Without even thinking I threw myself at my sister, sobbing and speaking incoherently. When I had realized what I had done I was scared she would be angry with me. And she had a right too. My mother and I destroyed her family and snatched her father away from her but instead she smiled and asked me what had happened. For someone her age she was quite skilled. When I had explained the situation she got the first aid kit and tended to Jan Di herself. After that day, I learned what it was like to have a sister" Ga Eul recalled fondly.
"Aye, she became a sister to me too!" Jan Di butted Eul smiled at Jan Di as she remembered the fond times with Kagome.
"So…whats the problem?" Jun Pyo asked cluelessly. Ga Eul frowned but continued on.
"After spending some time with Kagome, one night I heard my father, Kagomes mother and grandfather arguing. My father was saying that my granfather intended for Kagome to be a doll, a possesion he could wed off when he desired. Grandfather said he lost any matter in the decision when he left Kagome for my mother and I. After that I don't remember much but we left suddenly. But it was four years ago that the problem really began." Ga Eul continued her story, her voice somber and hollow as the dreadful memories she wished to keep buried reared their ugly heads. "Four years ago, when I was thirteen and Kagome was fifteen, maybe going onto sixteen, my father and I visited her and Kun-Loon again. Apparently in the span of time we had spent away from them Kun-Loon had broken away from the Higurashi clan head and made a life for herself, Kagome, her father and her new son. I remember though when I visited this time I was bitter. My mother was constantly being harassed by the Higurashi head and anytime we would vist them, specifically my grandma, my grandfather would always make a remark about how I wasn't as good as Kagome."
"Yah, don't take offense Ga Eul but your grandfather was an ass," Woo Bin said bluntly. "Like seriously, he was."
Yi Jeong silently agreed. Who could be so cruel to a young child, especially someone as innocent as Ga Eul.
"When we visited the shrine it was for custody of Kagome. My father got it into his thick head that it would be better if Kagome lived with us. Kun-Loon and Kagome fought tooth and nail against her. I remember anytime Kagome would try to talk to me I'd brush her off, because she was the source of all my families problems. But still, like the amazing sister she was she persisted. And one day…" Ga Eul took a calming breath as a new wave of tears began to form and her voice trembled "I lost it. I was having a bad day in general and I just lost it. I said so many horrible things to her, that if she hadn't existed everything would have been fine. That my family would have been happy. Not once did I think that she was ever sad or miserable because in my eyes everything was perfect for her. I remember her shocked and hurt expression and when I was finished with my rant I ran away. I heard her calling after me but I just ran like no tomorrow…"
"It wasn't your fault," Ji Hoo said, voice surpringly sad, like he was reminiscing something. "You were just a child."
Ga Eul sniffled and tried to smile.
"When I had stopped running I relaized I was in the seedy district of the town. I was so scared, there were thugs, prostitutes and every other frightening thing imaginable. Then out of no where this large group of thugs came out from this alleyway as I was trying to find my way back. They had surrounded me and the 'leader' came up to me and grabbed my chin and said I would sell for a good price."
Woo Bin had gone a bit pale at the mention of thungs. The F4 exchanged uneasy glances and looked towards the Mafia prince but said nothing.
"I thought of running but didn't try. They had guns and one had a nasty looking knife. I prayed to every deity I knew to send help. And behold, out came Kagome. A fight broke out, apparently she found the rival gang and tipped them off, but she got caught in the crossfire. She grabbed onto me and I couldn't see anything with my face in her shoulder but I heard gunshots. When I looked up I was speechless. Kagome had three bullet wounds in her opposite shoulder and two long cuts from the knife."
Ga Eul began to cry again, even as Jan Di tried to console her.
"She protected me even after everything I put her through, even after all the things I said. She was taken to the hospital but I never went. That very day my father took me back home from Korea and I never heard from my half sister again. But every single day I think about that day, and blame myself for her suffering." Ga Eul finished her story with a tremor in her voice and shaking hands.
There was silence, a long and cruel silence as the story settled into their minds.
"Wow," Jun Pyo said, acutally looking sympathetic, "You really got it bad."
Ji Hoo, the kind and gentle one, smacked his inconsiderate friend across the back of his head. Yi Jeong wanted nothing more than to grab Ga Eul in a hug and tell her nothing was her fault but stopped himself from doing so. And Woo Bin, he was staring at her in a mixture of sorrow and shock.
"So what's the problem exactly?" Yi Jeong voiced out after a while. Ga Eul got up to get herself a drink of water, silently letting Jan Di answer the question.
"Kagome is coming here tomorrow and is going to stay in Korea for a while, but Ga Eul is afraid to face her. Acutally so am I. We both left on bad terms safe to say and Ga Eul and me, but especially Ga Eul are kind of ashamed to see her," Jan Di explained quietly.
"This, is so tragic!" Woo Bin said with a dramatic sigh. He turned to his fellow F4 brothers.
"My bros!" It seemed the Mafia prince was back to his old self. "We gotta help Ga Eul-yang and Kagome become a real family again!"
"I agree!" Jun Pyo said and smiled when Jan Di excitedly threw herself at him thanking him profusely.
Ji Hoo nodded a serene smile on his face and Yi Jeong also quickly agreed. It seemed he wasn't the only one with problems with his father and family.
A sudden knock at the door had everyone looking at each other questioningly. Jan Di went to open it and was surpised to see a short, almost toad like man waddle in. (Guess who?)
"Come in?" she said sarcastically.
"I am here to see Miss Chu!" the man squeaked.
"And who might you be?" Yi Jeond questioned looking down at the man distastefully.
"Jaken." the man replied shortly and gave a strange smile when Ga Eul came into the living room. He waddled over and handed her a bag.
"Lady Higurashi has asked you go to her estate and 'air out' the place a bit. She said it would be much appreciated but to not touch anything that doesn't need to be touched." Jaken informed her "Good day!"
They watched bewildered as the man walked out, more like waddled. "That was odd," Ga Eul murmured. Opening the bag she took out a card with the address to the 'estate', a list of instructions and a set of keys.
"This sounds interesting," Woo Bin said with a smile, he grabbed Ga Euls wrist, ignoring Yi Jeongs annoyed look and dragged her out. "Let's check this place out."
And so the group, with the help of their GPS, found themselves hours later looking at a large, humlbe estate out in the country, surrounded by lush green grass and numerous trees. Ga Eul safe to say was shocked.
"This is her house?" she murmured in awe. Shaking out of her stupor she took the keys and opened the door way. It gave a somewhat ominous creak before sliding all the way open. They all filed in and she heard Yi Jeong gasp beside her, looking at what made him lose his cool she too gasped.
The entrance to the door led into a long and narrow hallfway or mirrors where it ended off with a large staircase. But what caught her attention was the vast number of awe inspiring vases that sat on pedestals lined against the wall.
"This is amazing!" Yi Jeong said breathless as she walked past her and examined the closest vase to him. "The style, the contour, the colours are simply astounding."
The F4 and the two girls watched as the potter/ Casanova walked from pedestal to pedestal, gawking at the various pots. He was like a child in the candy store, the potter within was delighted at seeing such a display of art.
"Yo my bro take a breather!" Woo Bin laughed, it was amusing to see his friend like this. But that laughter died when they entered a room adjacent to the hallway and it was him in the position of his friend.
As a Mafia prince, a famous one at that, Song Woo Bin always had an interest in various weaponry. So when they opened the door and saw what seemed like hundreds of different weapons lining the walls she gave an excited whistle.
"This keeps getting better and better," the Mafia prince said looking over the various weapons. Now more than ever he is curious to meet this Kagome. She seems like a puzzle all on her own and the boys of the F4 were very found of finding the secrets behind puzzles.
Ahahaha okie that's done. Tell me what ya'll think if I should keep going or just take t down. Etc. etc. A review would be helpful. Ja! Expect more updates in the future!
