Fushigi Yuugi: The Next Generation - Part 32
Disclaimer: Same as always. I don't own Fushigi Yuugi. Yuu Watase does. Blah. Blah. Blah. I own all the new characters. Blah. Blah. Blah. Please don't take without permission. Sanrio owns hello Kitty. =^._.^= (Tama-neko, not Hello Kitty)
Author's Note: I'm a big tease, aren't I? LOL. ^_^. Does anyone out there have at least a guess of where the summoning is going to take place? The hints in the omake should be very helpful to you. I had to cut Nuriko off. He was going to say something. Also, I would like to thank everyone for their reviews. Someone e-mailed me and asked who my favorite couple was…I don't know. I really don't. There's going to be yet another pairing in this part. Anyway, on with the story. We're now in the western country of Sailo. The Byakko group cast list is in the forum.
The Byakko group was back in Neko's father's house to decipher the riddle at the bottom of the scroll. They have been working on the riddle longer than any of the other groups. Neko's father, Shi Chang, was more than happy to allow them to stay at their home and help with the scroll's riddle.
"I feel like the answer is right in front of us," said Amai with a sigh. She took off her glasses and leaned back on the chair. Inochi was watching her. He was worried that she was straining herself too hard. Lately, Inochi had been thinking about Amai a lot. It had nothing to do with her being his miko and him being a seishi.
'How come I didn't notice her before in school? She's sweet and considerate. She's always thinking of others. I'm the one who needs glasses,' thought Inochi.
"Hey! Snap out of it, Inochi," said Sakana interrupting Inochi's train of thought.
"Um. Yes. It's been over two weeks. We haven't even come close to finding out where the summoning is going to be," said Inochi.
"Let me look at it again," requested the child genius. Amai handed the scroll over to Neko.
"This is getting us no where," said Kaze.
"But, we can't do anything until we know where it's going to take place. At least we know that the other mikos and seishi are ready to go," commented Kitsune.
Tsuchi was sculpting something out of some clay that he had made. It was moving on it's own.
"Come to the center. Where all the energy converges," said Tsuchi softly.
"It's so simple. Perhaps we're over thinking it," said Tsuki, "Did the seer in the Genbu group have any luck?"
"No. Even if Yogensha could see where the summoning is going to be, he can't tell exactly where it is. He doesn't know the layout of the land. That's why we really need you, Tsuki," answered Amai.
"Perhaps some tea will make everyone think more clearly," suggested Shi Chang.
"I'm up for that, Papa. I'll help you," said Neko happily.
They all sat down at a large table to have some tea. Inochi was sitting next to Amai. When his hand brushed against her to pick up a roll, he blushed slightly.
"You can have it, Inochi. I don't mind," said Amai with a sweet smile.
"Uh…thanks, Amai," stammered Inochi nervously.
Sakana and Kaze were eyeing him strangely. Inochi quickly looked away from him. They lifted their eyebrows in a knowing gesture. They knew that the first seishi had a thing for their miko. He was just too shy and nervous to act upon it.
"Let's take the rest of the day off. I think our brains are fried from all of this," suggest Amai.
"Yeah! Lady Amai, do you want to see my dolls?" asked Neko eagerly. She really looked up to Amai as an older sister. Amai thought of Neko as a younger sister.
"All right, Neko," agreed Amai.
They went to Neko's room to look at Neko's dolls. Kitsune went outside to practice with her wooden sword. Tsuchi decided a nap was in order. Tsuki helped Shi Chang clean up after everyone. They didn't mind. Sakana and Kaze decided to approach Inochi.
"You know you've been acting really strange, Inochi," said Kaze.
"What do you mean?" asked Inochi suspiciously. He was horrified. Did they know that he had a crush on their miko?
"Oh, you know. You've been acting weird around Amai. If you keep that up, she just might notice," said Sakana. Kaze elbowed him in the ribs and glared at him. "What I did I do?"
"Shut up, Sakana. I think what Sakana is trying to say is that it looks like you like Amai. And I don't mean as a friend," said Kaze with a wink.
"I-I don't. L-leave me alone," stammered Inochi with a deep blush on his face.
"Aww. You're so cute," squealed Kaze.
"She's right you know. We'll help you," agreed Sakana with a huge grin on his face. Kaze nodded in agreement.
"S-stop that the others might hear you," stammered Inochi. This was getting really embarrassing. He suddenly realized that he just confirmed what they already knew. Inochi was now bright red. He attempted to escape their clutches, but they stopped him.
"You don't have to that embarrassed, Inochi," chided Kaze.
"But, that means if you know, then Amai knows. Gods, even someone as dense as Sakana knows," said Inochi.
"I'm hurt and offended by your comment," said Sakana with a pout as he folded his arms over his chest.
"I don't want to talk about it anymore. I don't need your help," said Inochi gruffly.
"We can help you. You're a little shy around Amai because you like her so much. I don't mind. My broke heart will mend," said Sakana as he dramatically threw his head back with his right hand over his heart.
"That's cute, Sakana," mumbled Kaze. Sakana had leaned his head back into Kaze's breasts. She pushed him off.
"You think? I've been taking lessons from Kitsune," teased Sakana as he batted his eyelashes.
"Stop that you, Baka!" exclaimed Kaze as she pounded him to the floor. He was now superdeformed with swirls in his eyes. Kaze was yelling at him to be more serious.
Inochi let out a sigh, 'At least, they left me alone. What am I going to do?' he thought.
* * *
Neko and Amai were in Neko's room. Amai and Neko became friends fast because they were so much alike. Amai's parents had divorced when Amai was Neko's age. Amai's mother had give her father full custody of her. Amai's mother had walked out of her life. Amai's father was a loving man like Neko's, but he was also very busy. He did everything to make sure that Amai had everything that she wanted. Her father also gave up some of his business meetings and a promotion at one point to keep her happy.
Neko's mother had died when she was only five. Amai missed her father very much, especially when she watched Neko with her father. Neko may have been a very intelligent child, but she still acted like a little girl. Amai could only smile at that.
"Are you going back to your world when we're done?" asked Neko timidly.
"Yes. I have school when I come back," answered Amai.
"But, I won't see you again," said Neko as she looked down.
"We'll always be friends, Neko," reassured Amai with a faint smile.
"But, you won't be here, Amai. I'll miss you," said Neko. Her eyes were getting teary. Amai bit her lower lip. She felt like an older sister to Neko. Neko was the little sister that Amai thought she would never have. Amai pulled a necklace from underneath her shirt. It was a Hello Kitty necklace made out of sterling silver that her father gave her as a birthday present when she was eleven. The same age as Neko. She smiled and unclasped it.
"This is my favorite thing in the world. It's my present to you, Neko," said Amai as she handed the necklace to Neko.
"It's a cute cat. I've never seen anything like it. This must be from your world. I'll keep it safe and sound. Thank you, Amai," said Neko as she gave Amai a hug.
"It's your name. I just realized it," said Amai with a smile.
"Yeah! It is my name. Thanks, Amai. It's also our god, Byakko, except smaller and not ferocious," agreed Neko.
They looked at each other and started laughing.
* * *
Inochi was pacing back and forth. He was wondering if he should tell Amai how he felt about her.
"You know your going to wear down that rug if you keep doing that," said Kitsune. She was staring at Inochi.
"Oh. I'm sorry, Kitsune. I didn't see you come in," said Inochi.
"You're thinking of her again," said Kitsune knowingly. She put down her sword at a corner. "You are in love with Lady Amai. And you don't know how to approach her. You should just take a chance. You are a Byakko seishi. We fear nothing, especially love, Inochi. Just be brave enough to tell her. I think you might be surprised."
Kitsune gave him a reassuring smile and left the room to go have a bath. Inochi let out a sigh. Kitsune was right. He was a Byakko seishi. Why should he be afraid to at least tell Amai how he felt about her? Inochi decided to go look for her. He found her in the study looking at the scrolls.
"Hi Inochi," greeted Amai with a sweet smile. Inochi gulped nervously. He thought he was going to pass out at any moment.
"What are you doing, Amai?" asked Inochi shyly.
"I'm looking at the scroll again. I feel like I'm missing something. Like it's right in front of my face," said Amai. She had her glasses off, but she could see just fine. Amai looked tired. She was working harder than all of them. Tsuki said that she was trying her best through a tough regiment of mediation to see where the summoning was going to take place. She was in the forest mediating.
"Amai, I wanted to tell you something," said Inochi softly. So soft that he wondered if she could hear him.
"What about? Is there something wrong, Inochi?" asked Amai.
"Nothing is wrong. I just wanted to say something. I-I…," stammered Inochi. This was getting worse. He was blushing even more. Amai was looking at him with concern now.
"You look like you have a fever," observed Amai. She stood up from her chair and walked up to him. Inochi thought that was now really going to pass out. Amai placed her hand on his forehead. Inochi gulped again. She was so close to him. "Why don't you tell me what wrong?" she asked.
Inochi didn't know what came over him. Maybe it was because Amai was so close to him. Maybe it was because he had lost his ability to speak all together. Whatever the case maybe, he kissed her on the lips. It was a soft and tender kiss. Inochi pulled away. His eyes sadden when he saw that Amai's eyes were wide open.
"I'm sorry. I just couldn't find another way to say that I love you," said Inochi in a very soft voice. He turned around to leave the room, but her hand was holding on to his.
"Why are you leaving?" pleaded Amai softly.
"Because you probably don't feel the same way," answered Inochi sadly.
"You should have more faith in me. I've never had anyone say that to me before. When did you start feeling this way about me?" asked Amai.
"I don't know. I guess when I first met you at Sei's house. I'm sorry I didn't notice you before," answered Inochi.
"I don't know how I feel. But, I would like to see where this goes. We'll be going back to our world together. I would love to get to know you even better," said Amai with a smile on her face.
"That would be great, Amai! I'll make you so happy," promised Inochi. Before he could say anymore Amai kissed him on his lips. She broke the kiss.
They smiled at each other. It just so happened that Inochi was standing in front of a tapestry on the wall. Amai was looking at the tapestry past him. It was a beautiful tapestry that had the four gods in it.
"Is that a map behind you, Inochi?" asked Amai. He turned around and looked at the tapestry.
"I don't know. Why don't we ask Shi Chang?" suggested Inochi. Amai nodded. They went out to find Shi Chang.
"What's going on?" asked Tsuchi.
"We're looking for Shi Chang. I think I know where the summoning is going to be," said Amai excitedly.
"You think you know?!" exclaimed Sakana excitedly. Everyone else came rushing to the living room.
"Where do you think it's going to be?" asked Neko eagerly.
"Come with me to the study," answered Amai. They all came with her to the study. She stopped in front of the tapestry.
"I was in here with Inochi when I first had a real good look at. Is this a map of world?" asked Amai.
"Yes. It's a map of the world. It's very accurate," answered Shi Chang affirmatively.
"The summoning is going to take place there. It has to be there. It makes sense. Where is that place?" asked Amai as she point to the tapestry.
"That is Mt. Taikyoku. That's Taiitsukun's mountain. Not a lot of people have seen it," answered Tsuki. Her eyes were wide. She knew that the summoning had to take place there.
"Who's Taiitsukun?" asked Inochi.
"She's the controller of the world. She was the one who gave the original scrolls to the four Empires many, many years ago," Neko informed him.
"It makes sense. All the energy must gather there," said Tsuchi with a smile.
"Then we should contact the other groups. The summoning will take place there," said Amai.
~*ClareBear's Omake*~
Chiriko: Finally! Someone has figured out where the summoning is going to take place. It took them so long.
Miaka: Thank Suzaku! I thought that we were going to have to help them.
Tamahome: Is it me or has the Byakko group been doing things first before everyone else?
Nuriko: It's not you. The sad thing is that Suzaku group is still the last one to assemble and get everything they need. It's so disappointing. What's wrong with them? How incompetent can they be?
Hotohori: My son is on that group. So is Miaka and Tamahome's daughter. Don't insult them.
Nuriko: I think that we were better. We were the ones who got the shinzahou before the Seiryuu group.
Miaka: If I remember correctly, we got the shinzahou, but they stole them from us. They just waited until we got the shinzahou. They made us do all the work.
Chiriko: That's right. It's so sad.
Tamahome: This is so awful. ClareBear's torturing them.
He has large sad eyes.
Hotohori: I think ClareBear does wonderful work. Just look at the beautiful person she cast as me. Of course, he's not as BEAUTIFUL as me, but I'm happy….(he goes on and on)
Miaka, Tamahome, Chiriko, and Mitsukake are sweatdropped. Nuriko is superdeformed.
Nuriko: Hi folks, it's time for some shameless advertising. How would you like to check out the people we matched up with live celebrities. There are also more animes. Check it out here: http://www.crosswinds.net/~animelunatic/Matches/fushigi.html.
