Hello! I wrote this story awhile ago, but never got around to posting it until now. This was actually quite long before, but I've edited since then. (whew!) I took Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, and Fushigi Yuugi, twisted the two together, and put fingers to the keyboard. I'll admit, the first chapter is sort of boring, but it sets the scene, I suppose. So, go! Read! And remember to please review when you're done!
***All Alice in Wonderland and Fushigi Yuugi characters and plotlines belong to their respective creators and I own nothing, except a computer, some twisted ideas, and on occasion, some original characters.***
1) In Which Miaka Envisions Tamahome and He Appears
It was a beautiful spring day in the land of Konan; one where the weather was just the right temperature and everything sparkled like Hotohori-sama after he powdered his face. Miaka, holding a cupcake in each hand, came skipping down a path towards her favorite tree. It was at this tree where Miaka would plunk herself down and sit thinking about Tamahome and complaining about being bitten by ants.
Upon arriving at this tree, Miaka did just that. She plunked herself down, finished her cupcakes, complained about the increasing ant population, and thought about Tamahome. As visions of Tamahome danced in her head, all prior thoughts, especially the important ones, were forgotten.
"What a nice day," she said.
"But what would make the day even better is if Tamahome stopped chasing after money and patted me on the head more often," she added, holding her hands close to her chest like she usually did when Tamahome was around. Her eyes took on a glazed-over appearance. This coma-like trance, however did not last long. It was interrupted by a harried voice.
"I'm late! I'm soo late!"
Miaka shook her head, clearing the rapidly constructed cobwebs that had formed in her noggin in the last five minutes. Steam poured from her ears; her face twisted into a look of anger and turned a lovely shade of red.
"Who dares interrupt my daily daydreaming of Tamahome?" she growled, fists clenched.
A man with dark blue hair ran past her.
"I'm late! I'm late! Where's the money that I made by raising the admission prices to the Konan palace?" he yelled, searching his pockets for the bag of money that was now MIA.
The gears and levers in Miaka's brain turned as she attempted to identify the voice and match it to the person who just ran by. After several seconds, a loud sound was emitted from Miaka.
"TAAMMAAHHOOMMEE!" she squealed, drawing out the pronunciation so that the normally eight-letter name now consisted of fifteen letters.
"Tamahome! Where are you going?" she cried as she took off running after him.
"Wait Tamahome! I wanna come!" she wailed as her eyes began vibrating. Unfortunately, as Tamahome did have a thirty yard head start and she was a lot slower than him, Miaka soon lost sight of her beloved Tamahome. Only his voice, carried by the wind, let Miaka know that she was not alone in this wood.
"Oh dear! Where is that money? I'm sooo late! I'm gonna get whipped if I don't get this money to..." Tamahome's voice trailed off, leaving Miaka all by herself in the dark forest, with no indication of where he went.
Will Miaka find Tamahome? And why is Tamahome going to be whipped?! Find out in the next installation. (And hopefully, I'll have it out in a reasonable amount of time.) Please review, thanks!
