Flute and Willow
A FY fic
By Sakura
Part 5
The quest for the
shinzaho was a complete success. Not only did they get the shinzaho before the
Seiryuu seishi, they also managed to all come back alive. Thanks to the timely
appearance of Amiboshi. If the former Seiryuu seishi hadn't shown up when he
did, Nuriko would have surely been killed by Ashitare on Mt. Black. Of course
they had to go to Sairou for the other shinzaho, but that too was a piece of
cake since they had the added help from Amiboshi.
The sandy haired
boy proved to be extremely useful against Tomo's illusions and Miboshi's mind
control spells. However, he hadn't planned on meeting his twin brother Suboshi
so soon. After urgent pleading for him to come join him with his new friends,
the younger Seiryuu seishi told his beloved brother that even though he loved
him, there was someone he loved even more. He watched as his brother gave one
last kiss goodbye and walk away, desperately fighting the tears pouring from
his eyes.
*****
The violet haired
man now stood next to his sandy haired lover as they and the other Suzaku
seishi waited for the appearance of their miko. Once all eight of them had
returned to Konan, Hotohori had made preparations for the summoning ceremony,
after welcoming Amiboshi back and congratulating the others of course.
"You
okay?" he asked when he noticed the boy's sad look.
"It's all
right. I was just thinking about Shun-kun," Amiboshi replied.
"I know how
hard it is not being able to see someone you love. Maybe he'll come to his
senses and come back once Miaka seals Seiryuu."
"I hope
you're right Nuri," he said.
A wolf whistle
echoed through the temple as a girl dressed in extravagant red robes entered.
"Watch it fang boy! That's MY Miaka you're gaping at," said a boy
with blue-black hair. Blushing, Tasuki coughed then proceeded to flame his
other best friend.
"Rekka
Shinen!"
Amiboshi and
Nuriko laughed as the flames died out leaving a rather crispy Tamahome.
"Would you to stop it? This is serious business no da," said Chichiri
wacking both seishi on the head before they went into another of their
wrestling matches.
Smiling, Miaka
went up to the altar, both shinzaho had been placed there earlier and now the
Suzaku no Miko began to gather her chi as the blue haired monk had taught her.
The other seishi around her fell silent and began to add their chi to hers.
Amiboshi politely
stepped away from his lover since he wasn't to be part of the ceremony. 'Please
let this work,' he silently prayed as he watched the others from a corner.
He still remembered what happened the last time they tried to
summon the phoenix god when he was there.
Miaka's eyes
snapped open and she began the chant that would call Suzaku. "The four
directions of the sky, by using the way of the mind and goodness, please tell
the protector of the south, Suzaku that now I will speak the words. From the
sky to the earth, come to us physically through the for ultimates. Please rid
every mind of evil. By using your godly powers, protect us. Only I wish, please
listen to this. Please come down to us from the sky!"
The mark of
Suzaku appeared on her forehead and began to glow bright red. Clouds darkened
the sky above the shrine and a beam of bright red light shot from them,
surrounding the girl and two shinzaho. The light flared and the seishi had to
avert their eyes to keep from going blind. When Suzaku no Miko opened her eyes,
she realized she
was somewhere else, surrounded by the same warm, red light that
had brought her to the world of the Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho.
Before her stood
a young man with spiky red hair and red feathered wings. The same red mark that
had glowed on her forehead moments before was mirrored on his. "I am
Suzaku Sei-kun," he said softly as not to frighten the girl. "Are you
the miko who summoned me?"
Not knowing what
to say to a god, Miaka just nodded. "I will now give you my power to use
as you wish." He then vanished in a flash of red and another beam of light
went into her chest, filling Suzaku no Miko with warmth and the god's power. "To
use my power, say the word 'kaijin' when you are ready," she heard the
god's voice say.
"Kaijin?"
she repeated more to herself than to Suzaku. Then just as suddenly, the red
light was gone and she was back standing in front of the altar. She turned and
started down the steps of the dais when she stumbled.
"Miaka!"
Tamahome, Hotohori, and Nuriko cried as the three seishi rushed toward their
miko. The blue-black haired boy caught her before she even hit the floor.
"Are you all
right?" the emperor asked, just as concerned as Tamahome.
"Yeah, I'm
just a little tired," she replied.
"I guess
summoning Suzaku took a lot out of her," Nuriko said helping Tamahome as
he almost tripped himself over Miaka's robes.
"I'll take
her back to her room," the younger seishi said leading his lover out of
the shrine.
"Don't do
anythin' I wouldn't!" Tasuki called, causing both miko and seishi to
blush.
"Baka no
da!" Chichiri said whapping the redhead with his staff.
"OW! That
$%@&in' hurt, Chichiri!"
*****
The next day when
Miaka felt better, she made her first wish, which was of course to seal
Seiryuu. So now the dragon god was sealed into a scroll, which Taiitsu-kun had
given Chiriko. Two days after the sealing of Seiryuu, Yui returned to Konan,
accompanied by Suboshi.
Somehow, the
sandy haired boy had convinced the formed Seiryuu no Miko that since Nakago
could no longer use her, her life was in danger. He had begun to suspect the
blond seishi shortly after the shinzaho incident in Hokkan.
Amiboshi was
overjoyed that his twin brother now realized just how wrong the Kutou general
was and embraced him wholeheartedly. Miaka taking the former Seiryuu seishi's
cue, promptly glomped onto her best friend. Tamahome stood way back, still not
willing to forgive Suboshi for the murder of his family.
"You okay,
pal?" Tasuki asked coming up to his second best friend.
"Of course
I'm not okay!" He yelled back, but not too loud so Miaka and the others
couldn't hear. "As long as HE stays here, Yuiren and the others will never
be able to rest in peace." Tears began to fall from the young seishi's
eyes.
Placing a hand on
his shoulder, Tasuki said, "Don't ya worry, Tama. I'm sure that brat won't
be stayin'. And if he does, then I'm gonna make sure he don't stay long."
The red haired seishi then took out his tessen and began to wave it around
menacingly.
Nuriko then
promptly punched the insensitive baka. "Tasuki! Geez sometimes you can be
so insensitive. And you Tama-chan, get over it! I know Suboshi killed your
family, but it's time you forgave him. It was Nakago who made him do it. So why
don't you go blame him."
The two seishi
stared agape at the violet haired seishi. Snorting, Tasuki left the throne room
in search of a stiff drink. Tamahome on the other hand looked as if he'd been
slapped in the face. "Figures you'd protect him Nuriko. After all you are
sleeping with the bastard's twin brother!" He made to hit the older
seishi, but changed his mind then ran out.
"Tamahome!"
Miaka called after him, seeing her lover running away.
"Let him go
no da," Chichiri said stopping her. "He needs time alone."
Both former
Seiryuu seishi looked ashamed, both blaming themselves for what had happened.
Yui came up to Suboshi and hugged him from behind. "It'll be all right,
Suboshi-kun," she said. The blonde girl looked at Miaka.
"I'm sure
Hotohori would forgive you, after all it wasn't your fault. Nakago tricked
you."
Later that day,
after some talking, Yui and Miaka said their good-byes as Suzaku no Miko got
ready to make her second wish. "Matte!" Suboshi yelled, rushing into
the miko's room. "Y-Yui-sama take me with you!"
"Suboshi!"
both miko yelled.
"O-onegai!
Yui-sama don't leave me here! I... I love you!"
"Suboshi,"
the blonde said stunned.
"All right
then," Miaka said energetically. "I'll just change the wish a
little."
"Miaka!"
Yui blushed. "You can't be serious! He's just a person in a book."
Not paying
attention, Suboshi grabbed the brown haired girl's hands. "Y-you'd do that
for me? After all I've done?"
"Yep. You're
Amiboshi's little brother, right?" The sandy haired boy nodded. "Well
then, that means you're not a bad guy like Nakago so I guess it's all right to
send you home with Yui-chan."
"M-Miaka!"
Yui couldn't believe what her best friend was doing. Was she trying to hook her
up with him?
"A-arigatou
gozaimasu," the former Seiryuu seishi said bowing.
"You're
welcome, Suboshi-kun." With that the miko gathered her chi and spoke,
"Kaijin!"
"Wait,
Miaka!" Yui cried, trying to stall her one more time.
'Sayonara,
aniki,' Suboshi thought. He would have written a message on his arm, but he no
longer had that ability since it was part of his power as a Seiryuu seishi.
"Send
Yui-chan and Suboshi-kun back to my world!" The two were gone in a flash
of bright red light.
In another part
of the palace, Amiboshi heard someone whisper. "Sayonara, aniki."
Turning around he saw he was alone. There was no one in the small courtyard.
"Shun-kun
what have you done?!" he yelled when he suddenly felt a very important
part of him suddenly ripped away.
Hearing his
lover's shout, Nuriko ran over to see what was wrong. "Ami-chan! You okay?
What happened?"
The sandy haired
boy then through himself into the older seishi's arms and broke down.
"Sh-Shun-kun's... h-he's... he's gone!" he said sobbing.
"It'll be
all right, koi. Shh, it's okay. We'll find out what happened to him." With
that, Nuriko gently lead his lover back into the palace.
*****
After explaining
that his twin wished to follow Yui to her world, Amibohsi was inconsolable. His
younger twin was the only other person he loved more than anything. Nuriko,
however, managed somehow to get him to snap out of it and reminded that he
wouldn't be alone.
Epilogue
The miko then
left with her lover, Tamahome to join Yui and Suboshi in the real world. Tasuki
had gone back to Mt. Leikaku, saddened at the loss of one of his best friends.
Chichiri disappeared as well, but popped in every once in a while to check on
the other seishi. Mitsukake remained at the royal capital as the only doctor in
town. Chiriko became Hotohori's royal librarian. And the emperor himself
married a woman who strangely looked EXACTLY like Nuriko.
As for the two
lovers, Nuriko and Amiboshi both decided to leave Konan and go back to Sairou
to live in the village where the elderly couple had first found the sandy
haired boy.
"Kaika!"
called his mother. "Ryuuen!"
"Oh no! Here
she comes again!" he whispered to his violet haired 'wife' as they
continued to work in the field.
"We can
always get rid of her," he whispered back, "I'm still a Suzaku seishi
you know."
"Don't you
dare!"
"There you
are! I brought you two lunch," the old woman said handing a small basket
to her 'daughter'-in-law.
"Arigatou
okaasan," he thanked her.
"Really
kaasan you didn't have to," Kaika said trying not to sound annoyed.
"We can take care of ourselves."
"I know that
son, but Ryuuen-chan's got to eat some more, otherwise she'd never survive the
birth of your children."
The violet haired
man choked almost dropping the basket.
"Kaasan!"
his sandy haired lover said, blushing from head to toe.
"It's been
almost a year now since you two got married and you've yet to have any
babies," she lamented.
"It's still
early in our marriage kaasan. I'm sure you've have your grandchildren
soon," Kaika said comforting the old woman. "Why don't you run along
now, I bet otousan's getting hungry."
"Oh my
goodness, you're right! Here I am chattering away and I haven't even given your
father his lunch yet." She hurriedly gathered the vegetables, the two
seishi had harvested and started back down the path to her house. "I'll
see you again soon, Kaika, Ryuuen-chan. Don't be strangers," she called
over her shoulder.
"We won't
okaasan. And thanks for the food," called Nuriko before turning to his
lover. "Ami-chan, why did you have to tell her that? Now she'll be bugging
us more than ever!"
"You're the
one who insisted on me telling her you were a woman," he retorted
forlornly.
"I didn't
want to break her heart, Ami-chan. I could tell just by looking at her how much
she wants grandchildren."
"I know, but
there's no way we could ever have children," the sandy haired boy said
matter-of-factly.
"Well,"
the violet haired man said, a slight wistful tone in his voice, "we could
always adopt, ne?"
"You too,
Nuri-chan?" Kaika said with mock betrayal.
"It would be
rather nice to have a little one around the house. It could be like when you
raised, Su-" Nuriko stopped mentally kicking himself in the head. No matter
how much he tried to hide it, the former Seiryuu seishi still missed his
younger twin, who left the Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho to follow his beloved miko.
A sad smile
appeared on his face as he remembered how he used to hold and comfort Suboshi
when he'd been woken by one of his twin's nightmares. "Maybe you're right,
Nuri," he said thinking it wouldn't be so bad after all to have a child to
raise again.
"But we get
to name him after Shun-kun all right?"
"Oh
Ami-chan!" The Suzaku seishi glomped his lover and kissed him happily.
"But I wanted to have a little girl like Kourin or Miaka," he said
pouting slightly.
"We can have
both, can't we?" he said embracing the violet haired man.
"Baka!"
Nuriko slapped himself on the forehead, knocking himself onto the ground.
"Oops," he said sheepishly, looking absolutely kawaii.
"Come on,
let's have lunch," said Kaika as he helped his violet haired lover up.
~Owari~
Well, it's finally done! Not much of an ending, ne? But this is
all I could do to get past my writer's block. Anyhoo, it's a little sad that I
have to say goodbye to Ami and Nuri-chan for now. They're such a kawaii couple!
(grabs a tissue ;_;) Also I KNOW it's impossible for a seishi to follow his
miko into her world, but that's the beauty of fanfiction. You can make anything
you want to happen. Until next time FY fans. Ja ne!
