Chapter 5: Awakening
"So all of that was REAL, no da," Luke thought. "Gee, I even think no da, no da."
To test it, Luke or rather Chichiri, focused on the basement window that was unbudgable ever since Luke was a small child. At first all it was giving him a headache. However, it was making his kanji grow harder and brighter. Luke tried again. He heard the window budge. He placed his index finger and middle finger over his mouth and focused even more. Suddenly, with a sudden burst, the window flew open.
Luke grinned at it. "Take that window!"
After that, Chichiri had himself disappear and reappear up in his room. His grin grew even wider. "Chichiri has awakened, no da," he thought.
However, he snapped back into reality. "Playtime is over, no da," he said out loud quietly. Out in the hall, he heard the bathroom door slam and a set of footsteps walk into Brian's room. Luke knew his older brother was heading to another college today for another interview. "Now it's time to take action..." He stood up, thought for a moment, than sat back down, "after he gets dressed, no da."
Chichiri had a good feeling that Brian was the suzaku seishi Chiriko. His intelligence despite his slight immaturity hindered that. Also there were other factors also such as Brian, like Chiriko had somewhat of an inferiority complex, precisely why Brian hated it when Luke pointed out something Brian did which was stupid. And also Brian was a little shy and perfered to study, exactly like Chiriko.
After a bit, Luke knocked on his brother's door.
"Come in," Brian said, a little bit tired. Luke did so. Brian was getting his things together.
"Hi Brian," Luke said.
"You're up early," Brian remarked.
"Well, yeah, I have something to tell you, no da," Luke said blushing a little especially after saying no da.
Brian's eyebrow rose a little, "...no da? What's that?"
Luke replied, "Nevermind that." Luke took in a deep breath. He just prayed he wouldn't get committed. Half his family thought he was crazy. "Brian, remember when I was little and I had that nightmare and when I woke up my eye always hurt, no da?"
"Yeah...the one in which you got angry at this guy who called you Houjun?"
"Yeah that one. Well, it turns out it was a past life memory."
Brian looked at Luke as if he had grown an extra head.
"I am serious, no da," Luke said. "And, it was on another world. In this other world, it looked like ancient China and magic existed."
The older brother moved his mouth but no sound came out. All that came out was a soft, "Mom..." He darted toward the door. Chichiri, bringing down the index and middle finger down the bridge of his nose, focused on holding Brian. Suddenly Brian couldn't move.
"What's going on?" Brian whined trying to struggle.
"I was trying to explain, no da," Luke said. "If I let you go, you won't run for mom?"
"You're holding me?!"
"Yeah."
Brian sighed, "Okay."
Luke released his chi and advised Brian to sit down. Brian did as he was told.
"In my past life, I was, am, a Suzaku seishi," Chichiri explained. "I was destined to protect the Priestess of Suzaku, a girl from this world, as I was supposed to protect the country of Konan. There is one problem though, no da. The rest of the suzaku seven died and were reincarnated into this world, following their priestess. This caused a rip in both worlds. The two worlds are caving in. The other suzaku seven who are here have to set things straight, no da"
"And the powers?"
"My powers were awakened when I recalled my past, no da," Chichiri explained. "Those were the powers given to me by Suzaku at birth as Chichiri, among other powers."
Brian's forehead began to break out in sweat. His heart was beating really fast. He had no idea why. "...what does this have to do with me?"
"You are one of the Suzaku Seven, no da."
This hit Brian as if a million daggers went straight through his heart. He tried to shake it off, "Come on, Luke, you expect me to believe that?"
Luke grinned, "Yep!"
"You don't got any proof!"
"I just held you in place without touching you!"
"Well....um....I think..."
"I'm crazy?" Luke pulled up his pant leg and showed Brian his kanji. He even asked Brian to touch it.
"I have one like that?" Brian asked. "Then, how come, I don't see it?" He laughed nervously.
"That is because you haven't recalled your memories, no da," Chichiri explained matter-of-factly. "Your name is Doukun Ou. Your seishi name is Chiriko. You died at age 13, and died a heroic death, no da."
Brian stared at Luke oddly just taking in some of the information. Luke just grinned at him saying, "Chiriko, come on remember....its for the sake of both worlds, no da."
Brian's eyes were wide. "Died a hero's death" echoed in his mind. Suddenly, he felt an intense pain in his abdomen. Brian let out a groan and grabbed it. Then, suddenly, it was gone. It was only a memory. Luke grinned a little. "He remembered something, no da."
"Brian!" called their mother. "It's time to go!"
"Coming!" Brian called. He turned to his brother, "We can finish this later..."
"Do you believe me?" Luke asked.
Brian ignored Luke. He had no clue what was going on. He knew his brother was odd....but not crazy. And he had a feeling if Luke was crazy, than maybe he was too...
******************************************************************
The ride to the college Brian was going to was a long one. The college he went to the night before was not that far away but this one was about a 2 hour drive. He was also tired and he wanted to get that exchange with Luke out of his mind. It was bothering him somewhat. Next thing he knew, he fell asleep.
He had a dream. It was sort of like, a dream in which you are someone else and living out their life. He was much smaller than he was. And the first thing he remembered was seeing an old woman who looked at him telling he needed to go play outside with other children. Brian got the impression this was his mother.
Brian did what he was told but the other children made fun of his shortness and teased him brutally. He found sanctuary in his house, in books and studying. He felt something on his foot, and when he looked down, he saw a kanji symbol on his foot, the kanji symbol for "stretching". Suddenly, his dark world lightened with knowledge. He was a Suzaku seishi named Chiriko. He had power and he knew what to do with it.
Next thing Chiriko remembered was going out for a government position. He passed higher than any man twice his age.
Next he remembered was saving all the suzaku six from death after the ceremony had failed. Chiriko felt responsible but his symbol didn't appear and he panicked having gone to his insecure child self.
He remembered all sorts of adventures. Including his last. His body was invaded by the Seiryuu seishi Miboshi. Miboshi was hurting all his friends. Chiriko fought to gain control and when he did, he killed himself to kill Miboshi as well.
As a spirit, he watched his friends struggle to call suzaku and in the end, after possessing a Nyan-Nyan, helped out.
After all was said in done, Chiriko saw his Miko back in her old world with Taka, Tamahome reincarnated. And he saw a few of his friends follow the miko. He wanted to too. Even though, he realized that everytime someone was reincarnated in one world to the other, time slowed in his world. Still, he chose to follow, to help. After all, it was his destiny.
Brian was jolted awake by his mother, "We're here, hon!"
To his mother's surprise, Brian called out, "Doukun Ou! That's right!"
His memories had returned and it was as if a new preasence was with him. Not one that was as evil as Miboshi, but a whole new memory.
"Excuse me?" his mother asked.
"It's nothing mom," Brian exclaimed. Man, did his foot feel strange.
He was brought into see the Dean of students and the Dean of the Arts and Sciences. Brian was thinking about going into Political Science.
The interviewed him. All went normal. They just asked a few personal questions and what he did in his spare time. However, afterwards, the Dean of the Arts and Sciences asked him a few other questions that had to do with politics and such.
What came out of Brian's mouth was estonishing. It involved complex answers that many would say, "I never thought about it but you are right." He even added ways to improve it, radical intelligent ways. When Brian was finished, himself shocked, the two Deans just stared at him gaping holes for mouthes.
The next hour consisted of Brian signing papers. He not only got into the school but he got a full scholarship as well as an internship! Brian was all too shocked on what happened. And there was something on his foot...
By the end of the day, Brian was set to go home. However, he went to the bathroom before climbing into the car. There, Brian took off his shoe and his sock. On his foot was the kanji symbol for "stretching"...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brian seemed to confuse people. That is because I went for the manga Chiriko more than the anime Chiriko. Manga Chiriko to me seems more developed -_-. However, I did notice that Chichiri and Chiriko were close, closer than Tasuki and Chiriko even. However, I think Chiriko looked to Chichiri as more a father figure while Chiriko looked at Tasuki as more a brother. Oh well...chapter six is coming and you can find out somemore about Jake-kun ^_^ as well as Seihitei's relationship with Carmella.
