---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's Note (AN): Since I tend to ramble I'll be putting my notes at the end unless you really need to hear something before the story. ^^; I did a little searching and found more Survivor type shows out on FF.net. I didn't read any of them for the purpose of not being involved in so many disclaimers. I didn't copy any of them! -.-; Just so you don't say I copied so and so. Anyway, here's the next chapter!
Disclaimer: If I owned Fushigi Yuugi I would be famous and wouldn't have to use an FY character as my pen name. ^^; In other words, Yu Watase owns it and all those companies she gave the rights to, but not me. :( oh yeah, I'm not sure if I put a disclaimer for the reality shows in the prologue but I don't own those either.
(Italacized = confessional scene. You know, they switch to a later scene where people are talking to the camera and junk
::action:: = I may switch my writing to this once in while. It's usually for action)

"Hey Tasuki!" Nuriko called throwing two sticks to the ground in frustration. "We could use a little help with the fire y'know!"
"It'd benefit all of us, no da," Chichiri added.
"Ah, hold your horses!" he called back. "It's not even dark yet!"
::The sun suddenly goes down and the moon replaces it. A gust of cool wind blew across their little "campsite"::
Tamahome's ki flared as he glared at Tasuki.
"Ah, all right! Sheesh!" the bandit cursed under his breath and took out his silver fan out.
::A flame bursts from it and lights the fire...::
Hotohori (who had only sat beside them before with a mirror in his hand) coughed out smoke, his face black with ash.
Apparently the fire wasn't the only thing he lit.
"You're walking on thin wire fang boy," Nuriko shook his fist, the seishi's face burnt as well.
Tasuki blinked and laughed nervously, "Ah well, it was an honest mistake." He felt a tug at his collar and a hot breath on his neck. His eyes widened and he turned to see the blue haired seishi staring at him. "Hey, Tama, whatever you do with Nuriko or Nakago is your deal but I'm not that way.."
Tamahome's face turned red, no one knowing if it was from anger or embarassment. "Why you!" he tightened his grip but the fabric of the orange haired man's clothes ripped and Tasuki escaped. He stuck his tongue out and ran off.
"Come back here!" Tamahome called after him. Nuriko joined in tapping lightly Tasuki's shoulder causing him to tumble back. Who would expect less from the purple haired seishi? Hotohori joined in stomping on the bandit threatening to pull out his sword after the incident that turned his only mirror into charcoal. Even little Chiriko joined in after having his book turned to ash that was more en*light*ening than he wanted. Of course, Tasuki was cursing the whole time wondering what he had done so wrong.
"Let's drop him in the ocean and see how he likes the water!" someone shouted and the others nodded, each doing their share by taking hold of a limb as they ran down to the beach.
"Oh boy. I better help no da," Chichiri sweatdropped and followed. Surprisingly enough the wandering monk didn't help until Tasuki's had was submerged under the water at least once. Even when he did help it was hard to stop the other seishi.
A large sweatdrop formed on Miaka's head and she sighed.
------------------
"We can't survive like this anymore," the Suzaku No Miko spoke to the camera. In the background Tasuki was sitting alone muttering curses as the other seishi ate fish. Their wet clothing drying on a tree branch nearby (they aren't totally naked at that time though ^^; ). It was easy to tell that the event was taped later than the previous scene.
"We should do this more often," a voice in the background, sounding much like Tamahome said.
"Yeah, Tasuki should *fish* for us from now on since he's so good at it," Nuriko grinned, the other seishi burst into laughter.
"Pretty soon, someone will be voted off," Miaka continued, her head bowed. A low murmur of voices were still heard in the background. She looked up again with a big grin on her face. "But I'm the Suzaku No Miko! No one will vote me off! They need me!" she laughed insanely.
------------------
"Hey Miaka!" Tamahome called to her. "What are you doing?" his clothes were soaked with the salt water, but he seemed satisfied after the whole Tasuki ordeal. The other seishi were behind him helping Tasuki (who was busy gasping for air and too tired to say anything) out of the water. They laughed when he removed his shirt and a bundle of fish fell out.
"Great," the orange haired muttered. His eyes widened when he felt something move in his pants.
"I don't think Tama will even eat those," Mitsukake chuckled as stroked the brown and white cat, but a moment later the little creature was already hiding behind the tall man. This only made the other seishi laugh harder.
"Miaka? You all right?" Tamahome called again, when she didn't answer.
Miaka giggled glancing at the others. She seemed to forget where she was and finally broke out of her trance. "I'll be right there!" she cried back before she ran towards the little camp fire they were able to make earlier. She took a seat next to Tamahome, resting her head on his knee as he smiled down at her.
------------------
"Look at her. Little Miss Miko," Tamahome growled at the camera, glancing back at the camp behind him. By that time, even Tasuki got back into the swing of things and ate a fish or too, but that doesn't mean he was happy. Miaka laughed as they all continued to make jokes about fish but assured the fiery haired seishi that it wasn't really that funny. The blue haired warrior looked back at the camera. "She thinks she can't do anything while she's here because she's the Miko," he shook his head, though he knew it was a fact, that they didn't have to do much yet. Shelter didn't even seem to be a problem yet. And food... Well, we all know about the food. ^.^
"Well, here's a little secret," he came closer to the camera. So close that his breath fogged the lens each time he breathed. "If we already summoned Suzaku we don't need her anymore!" he laughed insanely. "What do we need her for? She can't do anything! Does she have powers? No. Can she even cook? No, by the flame of Suzaku no," he shuddered at the thought. "I bet she won't even survive the first mission!" He sat back and sighed before going up to the camera again. "You know I think she's even cheating on me with what's his face," he took one more look back but it was hard to tell which one he was talking about. He returned his gaze at the camera, "I don't trust her." He paused, "I don't trust her at all..."
"Hey Tamahome! What are doing to the camera?" he heard Nuriko cry. A large sweatdrop appreared on his head and he shook his head.
"This is going to cost me," he muttered returning back to camp.
------------------
"I wonder how the Seiryuu are doing..." Nuriko said, finishing his second fish. "Without Tasuki they should be dead by now," he laughed. The others nodded, grins ear to ear.
"Would you guys shut up about that already?!" he clenched his fists and struck them into the sand. "This is getting ^%#%* old!" he huffed. For a moment it was quiet, then Mitsukakae shrugged.
"Well, he is right..."
The other seishi looked at each other and shrugged as well.
"Yeah, I guess."
"Whatever."
"Don't look at me. I didn't say anything, no da."
Tasuki blinked and fell over.

Author's Ramblings (AR): A place where my author's notes can be long! ^.~ For those of you who do not like reading (which would makes me wonder why you are here at a fanfic site ^^; ) I'll keep this short as I can. aw.. Poor Tasuki... FYI, the scene with Tasuki was inspired by something that happened on an FY rpg I am on. Though this one is a bit different from that.. Kinda like the ep where they are the ship and stuff too. Guess you can say it's your classic scene. ^.^ Just so if the people on the rpg read this and kill me for thinking it was all my idea. ^^; Which it isn't. It'd be bad because I haven't even known them that long! -_-; Anyway, this chapter and the next couple are mainly based off things I wrote a week ago. Sorry if it seemed rushed. Somehow I lost interest in this fic and I only write when I have the idea fresh in my head. I'm working on another fic so I'm not sure where this one will head. I WILL finish this one though, but because I write like that you won't see the next chapters without a few weeks between them. ^^; Oh yes, I'm going out of the country tomorrow for two weeks so I won't be able to post anything anyway. ^.^ yeah.. er.. well.. I'll shut up now.. See ya in the next chapter!
