Blazing Divine Flame
Disclamier: I don't own Fushigi Yugi, neither the manga or the anime. As much as I would like to, I also don't own Tasuki, but I do own Makani!
A/N: Because of all the reviews I got concerning this fic and how many people wanted me to keep writing it, I decided to add another chapter..If the reviews keep coming like they've been, I might be forced to write even more! This chapter is PG-13 because the beginning is extremely sappy. Enjoy it, this might be the last!
Chapter 7: Surprise!!
They broke apart no less than two minutes later. Tasuki still held Makani's chin in his hand, so that when they parted, he immediately was looking down into her deep green eyes. She sent him a pure, loving smile that warmed his heart so much it was reflected on his own lips.
"Ai-" Tasuki began.
"Ai shiteru," said Makani. "I loved you from the moment I met you and I knew that no matter what happened, I would never be able to let you go." Makani grasped the hand he had on her cheek in her own.
"Ai-ai shiteru...I love you too...I thought I couldn't...That I'd never be able to love a girl...But now I know..I know for certain, that I love you," Tasuki said as he pushed a piece of stray hair behind her ear.
Makani unexpectedly took a step backwards from him. Tasuki looked at her in shock.
"We're forgetting something," she said, still holding his hand.
"What?" Tasuki asked, startled.
"The leader, Kouji, and the rest of the bandits of Mt. Leikaku, do we tell them..You know, about us?"
Tasuki took a step towards her and caressed her face gently with his hand. "Let's keep it a secret...Besides, we'd probably give them all heart attacks." Tasuki saw the startled look on her face now and laughed. "They still think I hate girls, remember?"
Makani laughed. "Oh yeah..Maybe that is the wisest thing.."
"I'm glad you agree," Tasuki whispered as he bent his neck forward and brought her face towards his own. They embraced each other as they kissed, even after the door to their room was opened.
"Genrou, Chichiri just sent me a message that you were back and I wanted to tell you that Makani now has her...own...room...G-genrou?" Kouji's eyes widened in shock as he saw his best friend, the young bandit who had hated girls his entire life, passionately kissing one.
Makani and Tasuki parted only when they heard something heavy hit the floor behind them.
"What the-" Tasuki said as he turned around, and then noticed Kouji, passed out, in the door frame behind him. He walked over to him and pulled open his eyelids, his eyes were rolled into the back of his head. He put his hand above his mouth and felt his warm breath course over it. He stood up and looked down at his friend. "Poor Kouji, he fainted."
Makani couldn't help but burst out laughing. "He probably had a heart attack."
Tasuki joined in with her. "Maybe we should've told him after all. Come on, help we get him to the infermery."
"Sure," she said, as she went over and helped Tasuki pull Kouji into his arms.

Kouji opened his eyes to a blurry world. When he finally focused them he noticed that he was in the sick ward with a blue haired monk and a flame haired bandit looking down at him worriedly.
"Wh-what happened?..I had the strangest dream...I was walking down the hall to tell you, Genrou, that a room had freed up and Makani could have it...But, here's the odd part, you and her were kissing!..Funny, right?" he said, as he started to, or at least tried to, laugh.
Tasuki blushed bright red and looked away.
"It was just a dream, w-wasn't it Genrou?" said Kouji as he sat up. He leaned over the side of the bed, straining himself to see if he could get a look at Tasuki's face. Tasuki turned back and faced him, his face as hot as the fire that spewed from his tessen. "Y-you d-didn't? Genrou?"
"You need to get some rest, no da," said Chichiri. Kouji's eyes focused on him temporarily before they flicked back to Tasuki.
"I-I love her..," Tasuki said.
Kouji felt faint again and feel back into the pillows on his bed. "You're kidding! Ha ha ha! Good joke Genrou! You! Falling in love with a girl! That's priceless!"
"He's not joking no da."
Kouji's face paled. "Y-you're serious?"
Tasuki nodded.
Chichiri quickly got up, seeing that the two obviously needed time to talk. They were best friends, and Tasuki needed to tell Kouji what he already knew. "Sayoonara, no da! I'm not needed here anymore!"
"Wait! Chich-!" but before Tasuki could finish his sentence, Chichiri had disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"So...you're in love..," Kouji said. Tasuki could tell from the blank look in his eyes that this newly acquired piece of information was having a hard time sinking in. Suddenly Kouji shook his head, suddenly coming out of his reverie. "Well..um...a...Congratulations!..."
Tasuki laughed. "You haven't changed a bit...Don't worry about it...I'll make sure there's no replays of what happened before..."
"Thank the gods," said Kouji as he pushed himself up into a sitting position again. He felt his strength return to his limp muscles. "So you're seriously in love with her, huh?"
"Yup," Tasuki said as he helped Kouji to his feet by taking hold of the hand he had offered him.
"So...What now?"
"I don't know...Um...I want to be in the same room with her.."
"Oh..Y-yes of course...Is there...err...Anything else?"
Tasuki looked up at Kouji, faint touches of blush still on his cheeks. "N- no."
"All right," said Kouji as he put a friendly arm around Tasuki's shoulders "So when's the wedding?"
Tasuki flushed an even deeper red than he had initially. "I..um...a..."
"I'm just kidding!" said Kouji as he opened the door and they both stepped into the hallway. Makani was waiting outside.
"Tasuki! How'd it-? Oh...Um...H-hi Kouji. H-how are you feeling?"
Kouji smiled. "Just fine..."
"Tasuki?" Makani asked him, he knew the question without her even asking. He could see it in her eyes. He nodded his head. Makani almost fell over with relief.
Kouji chuckled. "It's okay...I don't care...I mean...err...I'm happy for you and Genrou!"
Makani and Tasuki both flushed this time and Kouji couldn't help but laugh again, except this time at the matching shades of red on their faces. Know, if I only knew what to do with a best friend that's fallen in love.. Kouji smiled wearily at them and then turned away, walking towards his room. He saw them clasp hands as he turned away. Who'd a thought, he said, as he shook his head in disbelief. Genrou in love with Makani..Who woulda thought?
