Now I'm You

'Ryuuen... Korin.... Korin is dead,'

'It's best just to forget all of this. Just forget about her, yes, that is the best...['

Ryuuen tore of his shirt and climbed into bed. His stared into space, looking lost. Tears welled up in his eyes, threatening to pour out. Ryuuen shut his eyes tightly. 'Korin! Give me Korin back!!!!'

~¤~Flashback~¤~

"Oniichan! Look!" Korin smiled at her older brother, she pulled down the collar of her dress, revealing part of her chest. (Alright people, get your minds outta the gutters, right now) A red work marked her skin.

"Korin, what's that?" Ryuuen asked.

"It's a symbol. It means that one day, when I'm grown, the Suzaku no Miko is going to come into our world from another and I'll protect her! I am the Suzaku shichi seishi Nuriko!" Korin replied brightly.

"Korin..." Ryuuen was worried, "Promise me, be careful. Protecting someone as important as the Suzaku no Miko is dangerous! You could lose your life!" Ryuuen drew his little sister in a tight embrace. Korin inhaled sharply, shocked.

"Oniichan, don't worry about me! I promise, we'll always be together!" Korin returned the hug.

~¤~End Flashback~¤~

'GIVE ME KORIN BACK!' Ryuuen shouted in his head, suddenly, he was bathed in red light. It lingered for several moments, then faded. Ryuuen looked down. On his chest, clearly printed and still glowing, was Korin's Suzaku symbol. 'Korin... I see... I see... Korin didn't die! Ryuuen did. Korin is still alive, I am still alive... I'm you now, Korin, we'll always be together, I promise....' Ryuuen left his room and headed to where his father had taken Korin's things.

'I am Korin... I am Nuriko of the Suzaku shichi seishi. I promise, Korin. I'll give you the best life that other girls would die for!'

I know, I know, this sucked, but hey, what can I say? I'm low on caffeen and sugar, it's 4:00 AM, so sue me.
