Tsume-n-carnet: Welcome to my first Fishigi Yuugi fan fic! WHOO HOO! I will be the first to point out, that one of the main characters of this fic is a total Mary Sue! You don't like fics like that then… DON'T READ! But I hope those who do read like this fic! I have to admit I don't know anything about the Byakko celestial warriors (ex: Toroki in reality may very well be a guy) so this is my interpretation of them… k? So please don't get angry if you know 'em better than I do… I'm only guessing! Kk, please review and I hope you enjoy!

Byakko no Miko

Kami Ashurastarred up at the blue sky with lazy eyes, watching clouds floating by over head. The park she lay in was completely diserted except for a few stray pets that had wandered from backyards.The seventeen-year-oldsighed and watched a couple of squirrels bickering in a nearby tree, her brown eyes completely blank.

'I hate summer vacation,' she thought, sitting up and picking some twigs out of her long black hair. 'None of my friends ever stay in town. They all go on vacations so there's no one left to hang out with.'

Kami stood and stretched.

'And it's not like I have any money to go spend...' she sighed inwardly. Then she perked up. 'Oh! I know! I'll go to the library! They're bound to have some new editions in the rare books room!'

Kami felt herself blush as she remembered who would be working there. A boy from her high school volunteered at the local library during the summer. She'd had a crush on him since her sophmore year at the school. This would be the perfect time for her to finally talk to him alone! That decided it for her.

"TO THE LIBRARY!" Kami shouted happily, adapting a heroic pose. She picked up her bag from the ground and started running in her skirt towards the library.

She stopped panting outside of the main entrance. Pulling a brush form her bag, she used one of the building's windows as a mirror and pulled up her long hair into two, tight buns. She was about to go inside when she stopped, and decided that a little make-up couldn't hurt either. After putting her make-up supplies away, she squared her shoulders and walked into the library.

'Remember, when you see him,' she started telling herself. 'Don't zone out when you look at him. You don't want Kurosaki-kun to see you staring at him!'

Kami gazed around the library, seeing shelf upon shelf full of books. She subconciously bit her lip, a habit her best friend Yuka had been trying to break her of, as she noticed that Kurosaki wasn't at the counter as usual.

'Is it possible, he's not working today,' she thought in utter dissapointment. She clenched her fists and spun back towards the door. 'AND I WAS SO CLOSE!'

"ACK!" Kami opened her eyes to find a black-haired boy on the ground clutching his stomach, where she had accidentally punched him.

"Oh my gosh! Kurosaki-kun! Are you all right? I'm so sorry!" Kami practically yelled once she recognized him, helping him stand back up.

"It's fine, really. I should've known better than to try sneaking up on you," he said, flashing a dazzling smile. Kami felt her face flush.

'He's so hot!' she thought. Kami mentally kicked herself as she realized she was starring at him. 'You dolt! Don't stare!'

"Oh, well, I really am sorry!" she said again. Kurosaki nodded.

"Really, it's fine. So," he started again, his blue eyes flashing. "Did you come to see our new additions?"

"Uh... how did you know?" she asked. He chuckled slightly.

"All the librarians here know you by name, Kami-chan. It seems they love to tell stories," he said. Kami blushed, not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Come on, I'll show you the new rare books," Kurosaki invited, heading down an isle of books.

"Oh! Sure, That'd be great! Thanks!" Kami called, gaining a combined 'SHHHHH!' from angry readers. She hurried up to Kurosaki's side and said in a whisper.

"Gees, it's not that hard to concentrate on a book, is it? It's not like they'll miss anything."

Kurosaki chuckled again and approached a door set into the back wall of the library that read 'Rare books room, get permission before entry.' The two entered and Kurosaki switched on the lights.

O.OKami's mouth dropped open and she clapped her hands in wonder. Two new shelves of books had been added since her last visit, and Kami was an incredible book worm!

"Oh, WOW!" she sighed excitedly, heading straight for the shelf on her right. She didn't notice Kurosaki close the door behind them. Kami picked up a brown book and looked at the title.

"Oh, WOW!" she said again, her voice quivering with excitement. "The tenth addition! I've waited my whole life to read this!"

"It's a beautiful book, isn't it?" Kurosaki asked, looking over her shoulder. Kami nodded while carefully flipping through the pages of the book.

"It's beautiful," Kurosaki repeated quietly, "Just like you."

Kami looked up in disbelief. She turned to face Kurosaki, pure shock on her face, not entirely certain she had heard him clearly. He took the book from her hands and placed it back on the shelf.

"Kurosaki-kun...?" Kami started in confusion.

"Kami, there's... something I've been wanting to tell you," he started, coming closer to her until his face was very near hers. Kami felt her face flushing horribly. Kurosaki put his hands on the shelf behind her, accidently knocking another book to the floor... but he didn't notice. He stared into her brown eyes, a strange look in his own blue ones. Kami felt herself shaking slightly from disbelief.

"Kami... I..."

Just then, a librarian burst through the door and Kurosaki drew back immediately.

"Kurosaki-san, we need another person at the counter, right now!" the librarian said urgently.

"Right, I'll be right there!" Kurosaki answered. The librarian nodded and left again. Kurosaki headed for the door, turning to look back at a very shaken Kami.

"Kami-chan, we'll finish this talk later... ok?" he said smiling. Without waiting for a response, he left the room, shutting the door behind him.

Kami stared blankly at the wood for a long moment.

'Did what I think just happened, really happen?' she thought, her mind in total shock. She looked blankly at the book that had fallen to the floor. She picked it up, and stared at the cover.

"The Universe of the Four Gods..." she read out loud. That sounded interesting.

'Go ahead and read it... get your mind off of Kurosaki,' she told herself, settling down on the floor and opening the book. It looked old and the script on the pages looked hand written. She started to read to herself silently.

Thee who reads this book to the end, shall have three wishes granted for them... Do not read unless willing to see it through.

"Willing to see it through?" Kami asked herself outloud. (sorry, I know that's not exactly what it says!) "Does it mean willing to read to the end? What kind of book is this?"

'Only one way to find out,' she asnwered her own question as she flipped to the first page, and started reading.

On a sunny afternoon in the country of Sairou... and that was as far as she got.

Suddenly, the book began to glow with a strange light as a wind picked up around Kami. She dropped the book and covered her face, watching with frightened eyes as the words on the pages began to dissapear. She felt herself being drawn towards the book. She tried to resist, but then passed out, falling into darkness.

When the mysterious light faded from the room, there was nothing left, but an open book left lying on the floor.

-----Kami's pov-----

Kami's head was pounding and she knew she had landed on something hard. Landed where and from where she had absolutely no idea, all she knew, was that someone was there with her. She could barely see the dark sillouette of a person leaning over her. She felt her mind giving out again and knew she would pass out. As she slipped once more into darkness, she felt a gentle hand brush her cheek, and a soothing male voice floated to her.

"Rest well, for you are safe now," it said. "Welcome to Sairou, Byakko no Miko... priestess of Byakko."

Tsume-n-carnet: I think that's an ok place to stop! I hope you liked it so far and hope you keep reading! btw, Kami isn't the Mary Sue I was refering too, that character comes in later! Please review!
