Curious
Yui's mother knocked on the door. "Yui! Taka is here to see you and Miaka."
"Oh gosh!" Yui forced her hands against the floor, and pushed herself up. She lifted the book off the floor. She ran to her desk and threw it in a drawer.
"Yui!"
"Coming Mom!" Yui walked out her door and shut it behind her.
Tasuki, Chichiri, and Miaka finished their bath and started camp. Miaka helped Tasuki gather firewood, while Chichiri sat by the lake and fished for dinner. Miaka went quite far into the forest with Tasuki. "Um... Tasuki don't you think we should head back. I think we gathered enough wood."
"I think your right. We are pretty far out." Tasuki turned to face the camp. Tasuki didn't feel comfortable in the deep part of the woods. "Come Miaka, lets head back."
Miaka looked at him with worry. She could see the deep look of alertness in his eyes. "Alright." They took as much wood as the both could carry, and walked back.
A dark tall figure watched as the two walked back to the camp. "Soon Priestess of Suzaku! Soon!"
Chichiri saw Miaka and Tasuki emerge from the woods. "Quickly no da. The fish is ready to cook, and I'm ready to eat no da!"
"Me too!" Miaka ran over to the circle of rocks, and threw in the wood. Tasuki couldn't believe the strength she gets when she's hungry. All she could do was complain the whole way back at how heavy the wood was. And now, she runs and throws it down like she is carrying nothing at all.
"Chichiri, ya' only caught four fish?" Tasuki stared at the little fish on the ground. He knew that it wouldn't be enough to feed all of them, and knowing Miaka's appetite...
"Yeah no da! I'm sorry. We'll go into the next town tomorrow, and get some food and supplies there no da."
Miaka had a low look on her face. "But I'll die without food now!"
Tasuki and Chichiri looked at her in puzzlement. "Uh... don't worry Miaka! Ya' can have two fish and Chichiri and I will have one." Tasuki gave a forceful smile. He was really hungry, but he wanted Miaka to be happy. He walked over to the pile of wood Miaka threw down. He placed the logs that were in his arms down on the pile, and grabbed his tessen from his back. "Rekka Shinen!"
Chichiri sat down in the grass, and started to cook the small morsels. He turned to look at Miaka, but she wasn't sitting near the fire. Chichiri turned his head towards the lake and saw that she was sitting right by Tasuki.
"Tasuki..." Miaka looked at the mind consumed red head.
"Hm..."
"I'm curious... why did you come with us the first time we met?"
"Well I wasn't really gonna. Back when I first joined the Mt. Leikaku bandits... I first realized that I wuz' a Suzaku Seishi from our old boss." Tasuki fell on the grass. He had his hands behind his head, and looked up at the sky, that was now growing dark from the sun set. "I vowed then that I would never abandon the gang, especially for a girl from another world. I hated girls." Tasuki closed his eyes. He thought of how to finish his reason. "Then you showed up. I don't know what drew me back ta' Mt. Leikaku that night, but somethin' told me to go back. I saw ya' there with your weird clothing. I didn't know who ya' wuz', but I realized that Eiken took over. So I kidnapped ya', so that I can get a chance ta' fight him for the position as boss. I thought it was gonna be one of those simple kidnappings, but Miaka, ya' wuz' different from other girls. You fought back. You helped me reclaim my position, even though I thought ya' wuz' a nut case doin' it!" Miaka stared at him. She didn't like to be referred as a nut case but kept silent. "I guess if I hadn't kidnapped ya' that time, and found out what kind of girl ya' wuz'... I don't know where I would be now... But know this, I'm glad I did."
Miaka smiled. "Tasuki..."
"COME EAT! The fish is done no da!" Chichiri stared at the two and smiled. Tasuki was helping Miaka off the ground.
Miaka looked at the small fish and frowned. A huge light bulb appeared above her head. "Guess what I got!"
Chichiri and Tasuki stared at her. They were curious. Miaka ran over to her bag and dumped out a lot of food. There were a couple of fruits, candies, and chips. The two seishi stared at the weird food in wonder.
"What the fuck is it?" Tasuki picked up an apple and examined it.
"I don't know! Is this food from your world Miaka? I noticed it in your bag before." Chichiri was unwrapping a chocolate bar.
"Yeah!!!" Miaka said with a huge smile, and devoured an apple like it was thin air. "I almost forgot that I had this stuff with me!"
"I hope this stuff doesn't taste as bad as the time ya' cooked back at Tokaki's place! Hahaha.... OW!" A huge rock slammed into the back of Tasuki's head.
"NOT FUNNY TASUKI!" Miaka stood there with an angry look on her face. "As a matter of fact my cooking has gotten better, and anyways, this food was planted and some of it, other people made!"
'That's a good thing.' Chichiri thought. He kept his comment to himself, seeing how much pain Tasuki was in from Miaka's projectile. He took a small bite out of the chocolate bar. A huge smile lighted his face. "Wow Miaka! This stuff from your world is great!" He took a bigger chunk out of the defenseless chocolate.
Tasuki got over his pain, and picked up the apple he had dropped when he was hit in the head. He took a small bite, just as Chichiri did with the chocolate. Chichiri and Miaka looked at him to see what he would say about the mysterious food. Tasuki said nothing, and finished off the apple.
'I guess that means he likes it' Miaka thought to herself. She stared at him the whole time he was eating. After awhile she caught herself and broke the stare. Miaka started to blush. 'I.... I can't help but to stare at him.' She smiled. Realizing how much she cared for him. She took out a big bag of chips, and watched as Chichiri and Tasuki went through the same procedure as the candy bar and apple. Of course, they ate the whole bag of chips. Half of which, Miaka devoured. Also, both Tasuki and Miaka noticed that ever so often Chichiri would put a chocolate bar into his cape. Miaka didn't seem to mind. Then at last they ate the small fish that was growing cold.
"Hey Yui! Where's Miaka?" Taka stood in the kitchen.
Yui walked over to him. She couldn't hold it in. Her arm lifted and her hand swung across his face. "How could you? Why!"
Taka stood there with his hand on his cheek, and looked back at Yui. "What.... What are you talking about? Why did you slap me?"
"Taka, Miaka and I saw the kiss you gave to Sati."
Taka's eyes opened wide. "Yui. Understand. I didn't kiss Sati, she kissed me."
Sati stood there in her girl group. "Do you dare me?"
"Go ahead! You always wanted to!" The girl standing next to her shouted.
Sati looked at her. "Alright! I will!"
Taka stood against the wall and heard Sati cry out "Alright! I will!" He saw her walking seductively towards him. "Hey Sati...."
Sati through her arms around Taka's neck and kissed him deeply. He had his hands on her hips, and tried to push her off. Sati, refusing to let go, held on. The kiss lasted ten seconds. She released herself from him and walked back to her girl group. "I told you I would do it." The group walked away from the school. Taka could her each girl asking a bunch of stupid questions and comments, like 'was it good?' 'Wait till Miaka finds out.' They all giggled at that last comment.
"That's what happened." Taka had his face down, like he was ashamed. "That's why I came here tonight. To tell Miaka what had happened, but I didn't think she knew already."
Yui stood stunned. "Oh Taka, I'm so sorry." She also faced the floor. "I shouldn't have slapped you."
"No, I deserved it. So where is Miaka?"
"She isn't here Taka."
"Where.... Where is she?"
"She was so angry..... She... went back into the book."
"What!" Taka ran up to Yui's room. Yui ran after him. He searched her room for the book. "Where is the book Yui?"
Yui walked over to her bottom desk drawer, and pulled out the book. "Taka! I don't think you should read it." She remembered Tasuki.
"What are you talking about!" Taka grabbed the book. It magically opened, and Taka looked down. A huge light engulfed him, and he vanished.
Yui stood there stunned. She walked over to the book, which was now on the floor again. She dropped to her knees and picked it up. 'Taka looked around and saw he was at a campsite. He saw Chichiri sleeping under his cape, and Miaka and Tasuki sleeping under the same blanket.....'
Yui's mother knocked on the door. "Yui! Taka is here to see you and Miaka."
"Oh gosh!" Yui forced her hands against the floor, and pushed herself up. She lifted the book off the floor. She ran to her desk and threw it in a drawer.
