The Frog Seishi
Once
upon a time in uh… ancient China there lived a very beautiful princess---- I
mean uh… prince, named Hotohori. Hotohori was the prince of the Konan Empire and
one day he would be the emperor of the whole country.
Now
one day Hotohori was playing out in the garden with his golden ball, only
royalty can afford balls made of precious metals you know and it was really
heavy being made of solid gold.
Unfortunately,
as Hotohori was looking into the spring and determining that he was much more
beautiful than all the flowers in the garden, his gold ball slipped from his
hands and fell with a great splash into the water.
SHPPEERRRLLAASSHH
Now
his first inclination was to sit down and have a huge fit of temper because,
not only had he lost his ball, but he had also gotten his royal face wet.
However, of course, he was in a garden and if he sat on the ground, he would
get his royal robes dirty.
So
instead, Hotohori sat gingerly on the stone edge surrounding the pool and
resumed looking at himself and being amazed at his own magnificence.
"Ahem"
Hotohori
sweatdropped and looked around, hoping that no one heard him complimenting
himself.
"Hello?
Is someone there?"
The
only answer was the sound of insects buzzing.
"I
command you to show yourself," the prince declared standing up to give the full
impression of Princlyness™. He sweatdropped further as again someone cleared
their throat and spoke.
"Down
here your highness. In the water."
"Oh"
said the prince and he looked down to find a strangely pretty purple frog (with
a beauty mark no less) looking up at him adoringly.
"You
know your majesty you are the most handsome prince I have ever seen and I was
wondering if there is anything I can do for you."
Hotohori
stammered for a moment, he had never spoken to a frog before let alone a purple
frog who looked like he would probably be batting his eyelashes if he had any.
"Well
I did just drop my golden ball. Could you possible retrieve it for me? I mean
it is very heavy you know." He said finally, and added, "by the way what is
your name?"
"My
name is Nuriko," answered the frog, "and I would be happy to get your ball
really!"
Nuriko
the frog immediately dove down into the pool and soon returned to the surface
with the gold ball in his mouth. As soon as he reached the edge of the pool, he
hurled the heavy ball onto the grass and beamed at Hotohori.
"There
your Highness, now I was wondering if I could come up to the palace sometime
and hang out for awhile, you know I did get you your ball back and everything."
Hotohori
thought for a moment and said, "Ok sure why not, come on it is almost time for
dinner." He held out his hand and the
purple frog leaped into his palm and snuggled down for the short walk to the
palace.
When
the prince walked into the palace, it didn't take long for his mother to notice
that he was carrying a very pretty purple frog.
"What
in Suzaku's name are you doing, bringing a frog into the palace?" She demanded.
After
Hotohori explained all about his golden ball and the fact that the frog could
talk, the Empress waved a hand dismissively and pointed at the frog, "I don't
care if it can talk I want it out of the palace."
Hotohori
glared at his mother who he really couldn't stand because she was always trying
to control him. He stuck his tongue out at her and said, "Mother, I don't care
what you say I love this frog and I am going to marry her so there!" With that,
he kissed the the frog right on the cheek and Nuriko swooned before suddenly a
red light filled the room.
The
frog dissapeared to be replaced by a beautiful young… Suzaku seishi.
Hotohori's
mother immediately passed out and had to be dragged to her chamber by the
servants.
Nuriko
bowed politley to the prince (who was really starting to like this uh… seishi
because not only was she beautiful she had made his mother faint) "Thank you so
much your highness, I was placed under a curse by an evil Seriyuu seishi and
was doomed to be a frog forever. But now I pledge my allegiance to you
Hotohori.
Hotohori
married Nuriko and they lived happily ever after as husband and seishi. (That
is until a snotty little meatball head named Miaka Yuuki came along and tried
to seduce my Hoto-chan…)
I
don't own any of this… and I don't actually even own my plot so uh… if I get
sued you get two stickers and my retainer! Congratulations
Love
me? Hate me? Tell me all about it.
And
thanks for actually reading this thing and uh… that's it I love you guys!
