A/N: Well this fic seems to be popular so here's ch 2! And to answer TA Maxwell's question, no this most definitely will NOT be a Tas/Chi fic. The reason for that is 'cause I'm one of those people who think Tasuki and Chichiri are both STRAIGHT thankyouverymuch. So yeah enough of that and on to the chapter right after I say this Fushigi Yuugi is Watase Yuu's and Rosie's mine so don't take me to court.

For a good five minutes Tasuki and Rosie stood there, just staring at each other Tasuki in disbelief and slight disgust, Rosie with curiosity and mischief shining out of her eyes. Finally the angel broke the silence by saying brightly " So whatcha' wanna play first?"

"Play?!" demanded Tasuki "You gotta be kiddin' me!"

Rosie gave the bandit a funny look. " What, you never play anymore? Geeze you're boring." An impish smile lit up the girl's features as she spied the tessen sticking out from behind the young man. "I know…Let's play 'Keep Away'!" With that the angel darted forward and grabbed the tessen out of its holster, flying down the hallway as fast as she could.

"Hey! Get back here with that ya little thief!" cried the fiery seishi, giving chase.

"Gotta catch me first!" Rosie called back gleefully.

In a matter of minutes Tasuki's seishi speed had allowed him to catch up to the tiny angel. He grabbed hold of the girl's wings and yanked her back.

"Ha! I'll take my tessen back, thank you." he said triumphantly, snatching the iron fan back from the girl.

"Owwww! You hurted my wing, you big meanie!" yelped the small angel. She started to cry loudly and Tasuki groaned.

"Aw c'mon, kid! It was only a little tug!" he said, in a weak effort to calm Rosie down.

The girl only cried harder so, Tasuki, not knowing what else to do did what he'd seen Chichiri do. He pulled the girl into his arms and patted her head awkwardly.

"It's alright…C'mon don't cry." he said soothingly "There's a good girl. Calm down…"

Rosie whimpered as she rubbed tears out of her eyes. "Can you kiss the hurt and make it all better?" she sniffled.

Tasuki's eyes widened. "Oh no ya don't! There're some lines I just won't cross!" he exclaimed in horror.

The tiny girl in his arms looked up at him with tearful blue eyes. Her lower lip trembled threateningly and she started to make small sobbing noises again.

"Okay! Alright!" Tasuki said in alarm "Just don't start cryin' again!" He kissed the angel on the tip of her wing and gave her a resentful glare. "Happy now?"

Rosie nodded. "Domo arigato." she said in the most adorable voice Tasuki had ever heard. She wriggled out of the bandit's arms and stared up at him a look of complete innocence in her eyes. "Now what?" the girl asked, folding her wings behind her.

Tasuki stared at the miniscule child and laughed in spite of himself. "You're a real firecracker aren't 'cha?"

"That's what they tell me!" grinned Rosie. One of her front teeth was missing and her small canines stuck over her lower lip, looking almost like fangs.

The bandit laughed again and said "Y'got fangs too. Just like me."

"Yup" Rosie said proudly " An' fire-colored hair too, only mine doesn't have orange in it."

"Y'might not be too bad after all." Tasuki told her, showing off his own fangs.

Rosie giggled. "You're funny, mister."

"Don't call me mister!" the bandit told her  "Makes me sound old."

"But you are old. An' 'sides, what'm I s'posed to call you?" Rosie asked

Choosing to ignore the fact that he'd just been called old, Tasuki shrugged and said, "Call me Tasuki or Genrou or Shun'u. Anythin' but mister."

" 'Kay. So what do we do now Gen-chan." the angel repeated hopping up and down, her bare feet barely making a sound as they hit the wooden floor of the hallway.

Tasuki thought for a minute. "You wanna see somethin' cool?"

"Yeah!" Rosie exclaimed, her eyes shining with curiosity.

"Then c'mon." Tasuki lifted the angel onto his shoulders and carried her towards the forest.

***********Well there's chapter two. I tried to make it as long as I could but life got in the way. Gomen! Now the glossary:

Domo arigato means thank you very much

And there's the end for now. Tell me whatcha think.
