Moshimo...
Note: FY ain't mine. Tasuki has really caused a great hoo-ha this time... Oh yeah, let's just say everybody got reincarnated and everything was okay. JUST FINE. Nobody died, that is. And it's pre-OVA. Er...Shiyo is mine. And everybody except Tamahome live in the palace, I dunno why, everybody meaning the Suzaku Shichiseishi.
The story begins...For the third time.
3 : Hotohori
Hotohori was in the throne room, wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a veil, covering his terribly disfigured face. Wailing and lamenting and cursing Shiyo softly, he was at a loss. Nuriko was also glaring at Shiyo, *she* hated to see Hotohori so sad. Shiyo was apologising profusely while Tasuki was snickering. Then she glared at Tasuki with a look of pure poison. "We'll talk outside." Tasuki made no motion to move, so Shiyo gritted her teeth and stated, "NOW." Tasuki shrugged, cursed, and strolled out behind Shiyo's urgent steps.
Shiyo took out a vial and raised it. Tasuki got wary and took out the tessen. Then he 'flamed' her.
His flame 'backfired'.
As the flames reached her, Shiyo took out the vial and threw it on the ground, causing a screen to spring up and the flames were shot back at Tasuki. He was fried, and the birds in the trees surrounding them flew up, screeching their heads off.
Then Chiriko started to cry, causing Shiyo to turn around. Tasuki almost got her, but she ran into Chiriko's room just in time. He had wet himself...
"Chiriko, look here. Look at this chemical. I know you're not as clever as you were before, but maybe you could remember when this wears off? Come on, smell it!!! You're my only hope..." Shiyo pleaded and looked at the little boy as tears of fear welled up in her eyes. She was afraid that Hotohori would send her to the dungeons of the deepest, darkest basements of the huge palace. Chiriko put a hand on her head, and looked at her with his big, babyish eyes. Then he said, "Kreks tos!!!" sort of triumphantly. Shiyo's eyes widened. "Twenty two? Twenty two hours?! Oh thank heavens, Chiriko, you're a genius!" Hugging him as he drooled on her, she promised to make him well again. "You're a life-saver, Chiri-chan!" Chiriko simply gurgled in sheer happiness, not knowing what he had done.
* * *
"IT WILL WEAR OFF IN TWENTY-TWO HOURS!!!" Shiyo screamed as she ran into the throne room, causing the birds outside to screech again, flying out of the trees. Hotohori looked up and brightened, "Really?" Shiyo nodded vigorously. Everybody cheered and Shiyo said, "Now, we have to get Chiriko back in order..."
* * *
Tasuki was just outside Chiriko's room when Miaka ran up to him. "Hey, have you seen Mitsukake?" Tasuki replied, "Nope, dunno where he has *beeping* gone to." Miaka argued with him about his use of profanities and they started a fight when Miaka sniffed the air.
"Tasuki, did you fart?"
"NO I DIDN'T! I thought it was you."
"Masaka...!!!"
"*beep* Uh-oh."
Tasuki ran into Chiriko's room and saw him sitting in a small pile of...
* * *
No, the plot doesn't thicken THIS time. Sorry.
"I, Yuuki Keisuke, hereby swear never to eat anything cooked by Yuuki Miaka, my sister, again in my life. Unless for some reason I want to commit suicide. Everybody in favour, please groan." The beds beside his groaned. Yui, Taka, Tetsuya and Mrs. Yuuki then said at the same time, "I shouldn't have eaten that strange salami!" Keisuke then said, "Mom, why did you EVER let Miaka cook? I bet if she cooks instant noodles, we'll get food poisoning too!"
"Now, now, Keisuke, what a bad thing to say about your sister!"
"Although she is my best friend, Mrs. Yuuki, I agree with Keisuke."
"I really have nothing to say, I just came over for a meal and look what I got? Three nights in a hospital!"
"I know she's my girl and all, but Miaka really should've checked the expiry date first..."
Then they all groaned again.
No birds flew up into the sky. Oh well, I guess modern Japan has very few trees and birds.
* * *
Hotohori was in his room, asking Houki, "I'm disfigured. Do you still want me?" Houki thought, Frankly, no. But since you're the emperor, I'll put up with it. "Of course I do!"
Nuriko stood jealously outside the room, listening intently. I bet Houki doesn't want Hotohori...I want him... Then Nuriko burst into hears and wailed loudly as *she* ran away. Nevertheless, as everybody heard the birds screeching and flying out of their perches, Shiyo asked, "What was that?" (She meant Nuriko's wailing.) Chichiri shrugged. "Probably some wild beast no da." "Oh."
* * *
Miaka was absently chewing on a walnut when Shiyo came up to her later that day. "Boy, this has been one hectic day. Mi, why are you eating Chiriko's brain?!" "Huh? OH!" She hurriedly threw the walnut away. I really can't believe Chiriko's brain is actually the size of a walnut... "Hello, Mi, you there? Earth to Mi!"
"Huh? Oh. Yes?"
"Why are you so distracted all of a sudden?"
"*sighs* Ever since I came, so many bad things have happened..."
"It's not your fault! Don't be so superstitious. Anyway you're better off than me, you don't have an enemy."
"Enemy?"
"Tasuki...grrr...That b*tch thinks she's so great just because she's got big boobs!"
"*sweatdrops* Shiyo... Language please, this is a PG fic!"
"*looks at reader* Sorry! Hehe."
"I miss Japan..."
"Go back then!"
"I've been here for barely 10 hours! And anyway, time passes differently in Japan than here."
"*suddenly getting one of her mood swings* I HATE TASUKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!"
The birds flew out of the trees, screeching, as Miaka sweatdropped.
* * *
Mother bird: Here children, I've brought you some juicy worms!
*Shiyo screams*
Mother bird: Hang on, I have to screech and fly out of here for awhile...
Baby birds, to each other: Humans are baaaaaaaad!
*Mother bird hears them and says to herself, "I shouldn't have had that affair with that ram...They sound just like their father. People will notice, afterall."*
-TSUTSUKU-
Author's note: The last paragraph IS pretty lame, anyway flames are still unwelcome, next and final chapter, Happily Ever After In a Fairy Tale World, coming up later...I hope. And yes, Chiriko's intelligence has shrunk to about the size of that of a cat's, which brain is about the size of a walnut. Arigato, minna!
