AN: A sad poem in memory of our four favorite shichiseishi as told through Chichiri's eyes…

Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own Fushigi Yuugi or any of the characters, no matter how much I wish I did.

The Tragedy of Suzaku

The story I tell is sad

But I cannot cry another tear

I won't let pain take me over

The two of us,

Those who are left,

We're fighters, right?

My friends and I have been through it all

It's been a rough journey

And I was the one pushing faster

Taking no shortcuts

We made it, but our friends

They weren't as fortunate

This poem is in memory

Of everything they stood for

That we stood for together

Of strength and spirit,

Royalty and beauty,

Intelligence and innocence,

Peace and healing,

Love and devotion.

I will always remember the great times we had

The bond we shared

Our memories

And the two of us will keep you

In our hearts

And all of the godly deeds you've done

Will be known for years to come

The world is peaceful again

But our tears still flow

I thought my past was painful

But now so is my present

The future is bright because the two of us,

We'll make it to the end of the road

And live out our lives

That were so selflessly salvaged

By you all.

Angels, look over our four friends

And keep our hearts in one piece

I've learned that there are scars

That don't heal

And they will burden us

Until the day we meet

Again…
