Fushigi Yuugi

(Chapter 10: Unwanted Words)

The next morning Chichiri woke up clueless of what had happened the other night until he looked over at the 'NAKED' Priestess who was sleeping next to him. "Oh no… not good…" He said quietly to himself as he touched her shoulder lightly. "Chorie… did this really happen?" He said again quietly to himself as he reached for his mask when the door suddenly opened and then shut. "Oh Chichiri? What do you have their?" Asked a female voice with a little giggle. Chichiri stopped and tensed up a lot as he slowly turned around to look at who it was. "Nuriko?" Chichiri asked with a scared voice as he looked at the person with purple hair standing there giggling at him.

"Yes? That is my name…" Nuriko said with a smile as she walked over and sat on the end of the bed next to Chories feet. "Why are you in here?" Chichiri said cautiously as he grabbed his mask and put it in his lap. "I'm here because I heard what happened last night." Nuriko said while folding his arms and looking at Chichiri in disappointment. "What did I do? It's not my fault…" Chichiri exclaimed as Nuriko just glared at him. "What?" Chichiri whimpered with a worried face. "You know since you did that to her she could get pregnant right?" Nuriko said angrily while he looked at Chorie who was all curled up into a little ball with her hands next to her face and her legs half way curled up and her hair spread out behind her, she looked adorable.

Chichiri looked at her in shock then back at Nuriko, who was still looking at her. Chichiri put his right palm on his face and slid it down. "You really think she'll get pregnant?" Chichiri asked eagerly awaiting an answer from Nuriko. "Well Chichiri, there's about a fifty, fifty chance because you didn't use any protection, so yeah, most likely yes!" Nuriko said angrily as he glared at Chichiri who was devastated by the answer he got. Chichiri looked back at Chorie as he caressed her face with his hand.

He was so worried now and on top of all that he might have lost his powers. "Nuriko… that's not the biggest problem. There's something much worse that might have just happened…" Chichiri said as he looked back at Nuriko with a serious face which surprised Nuriko a little. "What would that be Chichiri?" Nuriko asked eagerly awaiting his answer. "Well, you see. I may have lost my powers because of what happened last night…" Chichiri said softly as he looked down at the mask that sat in his lap. "WHAT!" Yelled Nuriko at the top of his lungs which woke up Chorie. "What? What's happening Chichiri?" said Chorie as she sat up holding the bed sheet over her chest. "Chichiri may have lost his powers!" Yelled Nuriko again as he pulled his hair.

Chorie looked at Nuriko with a weird face. "Yes, I already know that… your point?" Chorie asked politely with a smile. "Yeah! Then he won't be able to protect you!" Nuriko yelled in Chories face and Chorie just laughed as Chichiri laid back down facing up with his hands behind his head which pissed off Nuriko, a lot. "Do you not care at all?" Nuriko yelled which woke up Hotohori and Tasuki.

Tasuki and Hotohori ran in at the worst possible time. "You know she might be pregnant!" Nuriko yelled at Chichiri with an angry face. "What?" Yelled Tasuki as he stood in the doorway with a shocked face as well as Hotohori who was stunned he couldn't even say a thing. Chichiri, Chorie and Nuriko looked over at them with a surprised face. "Umm hi?" Nuriko said with a worried smile while holding up his hand to say hello. "Oh great…" Said Chichiri as he turned to face the wall. Chorie just looked at everyone then down at herself to realize she was still 'Naked' and she turned bright red. "…Get out…" Chorie mumbled to herself, Chichiri and Nuriko heard but the others weren't so fortunate. "GET OUT!" She shrieked as covered herself.

Suddenly everyone including Chichiri who was fortunately wearing his robe, went flying out of his room crashing into the wall outside as the door slammed behind them. "Ouch that hurt!" Yelled Hotohori as well as Nuriko and Tasuki. "Ouch! That hurt you know! Why'd she even throw me out?" Chichiri yelped as he covered himself quickly with the robe. "Man she's strong…" said Hotohori who was rubbing his hurt head and Tasuki was rubbing his as well.

When suddenly the door flew open and they all looked up to see an angry priestess who looked oddly enough like Miaka. Her hair was up in two buns held by ribbons on either side of her head like her mother had taught her and she was wearing an old uniform she'd found in a random wardrobe in Chichiri's room. "Whoa! It's a mini Miaka!" Yelled Tasuki and Nuriko as they pointed at her in shock, but Chichiri and Hotohori looked at her amused by the resemblance she had to her mother. "Now! Chichiri go get dressed and the rest of you had better have a good reason for barging in!" Chorie yelled angrily as Chichiri got up and went into his room a little confused as he shut the door behind him. The rest of them were a little afraid of her as they all sat against the wall looking at Chorie with a worried faces. "What did we do?" Yelled Tasuki who was confused as well as attracted by her. "One, Nuriko wakes me up! Two 'He' starts yelling shit about how I might be 'pregnant' and stuff! Three, you two run in while I'm completely naked!" She yelled as a red aura arose from her body and her eyes turned completely red.

"Wait how it our fault? Nuriko was the one yelling and so we thought you were in danger!" Hotohori yelled at Chorie as he stood up. "Yeah, we thought someone was hurting you!" Yelled Tasuki as he stood up as well. "Well your royal pain and Mr. Flame! You should knock 'FIRST' besides you… Gahhh shouldn't be so stupid like that!" Yelled Chorie which made sparks fly between Tasuki, Hotohori and Chorie. "You guys…?" Nuriko tried to say but then was told to 'Shut up!' by all three of them. "So, Miss. Priestess? You think you're all that but can you handle two guys?" Hotohori said with an evil grin which made her tense up a little. "Yes I can! I've beat Tasuki up before and I can certainly beat the crap out of you!" She yelled as she got into a fighting stance. "Oh really I'd like to see that!" Tasuki yelled and Hotohori gave a quick nod as Nuriko sat in horror in what was happening. "Ok then let's take this outside-…?" She stopped when she heard a voice behind her. "Chorie, stop this now! You mustn't harm the priestess!" Chichiri yelled quite loudly as the turned to look at him. "Gosh there is always fighting! Just stop it!" He yelled again as they just looked at him.

Chorie, Tasuki, Hotohori and Nuriko were surprised by the sudden demand and so they stopped. "Oh thank-goodness you stopped them Chichiri…" Said Nuriko as he gave a sigh of relief. "Fine…" Said Tasuki and Hotohori as Chorie stood up straight and blushed as she nodded in agreement. "Good… now come we must find the others; I mean the rest of the Suzaku seven." Chichiri said as his angry quickly face turned into a smile. "Yeah I guess you're right…" Said Tasuki nodding with an understanding face.

"Wait what? NOW!" Chorie yelled while holding her hands on either side of her face as she crouched down looking at the floor with a depression cloud over her head. "…really?" They all said as they watched her act out. "I don't know what to do now… What am I going to do?" Chorie mumbled to herself as the other looked at her like she was pathetic. "Come on the horses are ready… they're out front. Let's go…" Said Hotohori who glared at Chorie for a moment and then turned and walked down the hall rounding the corner and going out of sight. "Rudeness…" Chorie said as she stood up straight and walked over to Nuriko and helped her up. "OK! Let's go you guys!" Tasuki shouted and walked off to follow Hotohori outside and Chorie nodded with a giggle. Chichiri looked at her and Nuriko who were standing next to each other and smiling at each other. "I'm going to catch up to them, ok Chorie?" Nuriko said as she looked over at Chichiri and winked quickly and ran off down the hall around the corner out of sight.

Chichiri walked over to Chorie and leaned close to her face. "Chorie… I've been thinking… if you were to get pregnant…That would be cool…" He whispered to her then stood back up straight as he smiled at the shocked girl in front of him. "Chichiri…." She struggled to say because of the sudden shock and because it felt like there was a frog in her throat. She blushed like mad as he grabbed her by the hand and they walked down the hall to go outside.
