When Fuuko Mysteriously Plays
Chapter 7
The Leikaku Bandits
Tamahome was watching Hotohori and Yanagi talking from the corner. He turned back looking really pissed and went back to his bedroom.
"That Hotohori guy is hitting on my princess", Recca said. Tokiya just grinned.
"Don't worry about them. Too many people are affected already"; Domon tried to get Recca to calm down.
"I know, I have a feeling that Tamahome also likes her".
"The Suzaku no Miko passed by and saw Nuriko looking at the emperor and her friend", Tokiya continued.
Nuriko was also watching them from afar.
"Nuriko? What are you doing?" Fuuko asked as she passed by. Nuriko didn't answer and just looked at Fuuko with anger and jealousy in her eyes then looked back at Yanagi and the emperor. Fuuko looks at them realizes what was wrong.
"Oh, I see", before Fuuko could continue, Nuriko stood up.
"I'm going to my room", Nuriko said and left.
"This isn't good", Fuuko shook her head.
The next day...
"You're going to look for the other three Seishi?" Hotohori asked. "Even if you lost the 'Book of the Four Gods' in Kutou?"
"Hai, we're really sorry, Hotohori. But Taiitsukun gave us this. She said it'll give us a signal if there is a Seishi nearby", she showed Hotohori the mirror.
"Fuuko-san are we going yet?" Yanagi came in.
"Yanagi, you're coming with them?" Hotohori asked.
"Hai, I want to help them", Hotohori looked at Fuuko.
"I didn't think it's a good idea at first too but I Yanagi thinks she's useless and she'll just be a burden if she stays here. She really wants to help us and I thought she could heal us if any of us gets injured. We've been through something like this together before. She can handle it".
"Well, ok, be careful then".
There were three horses. Nuriko and Fuuko, riding in one. Tamahome and Yanagi in another and Chichiri in another.
"Hey, look at this. It says mountain"; Fuuko showed them the mirror.
"That means there must be a Suzaku Seishi in this mountain. But I heard there are lot of bandits here".
Back at the palace...
A really, really cute Chichiri appeared in front of Hotohori.
"Chichiri, what are you doing here?"
"I came back cause I know how worried you are about Fuuko and Yanagi no da".
"I want to make sure that they're safe but I can't do anything. I can't leave the palace".
"That's why I'm here no da", Chichiri transforms into Hotohori. "Now I look just like you no da. You can go with them while I stay here in your place na no da".
"Thank you Chichiri but... I'm not beautiful enough. My eyes are supposed to be smaller and my nose should be higher and you're not sexy enough. Transform again!"
"I can't transform any better than this no da".
They're all seated down ordering some food. Nuriko had been giving Yanagi the silent treatment. Not like she ever talked to her anyway. Nuriko had also been staring at Yanagi with an evil eye. Yanagi had noticed this and had become really uncomfortable whenever she's around Nuriko. Fuuko had also noticed it.
"So, where's Tamahome and Chichiri?" Fuuko tries to break the silence. No answer from both of them. Fuuko sweatdropped. Nuriko keeps staring at Yanagi.
"I'll go get Tamahome-kun. He's outside having some fresh air"; Yanagi finally had it. She stood up and went out.
"You know Fuuko, I'm not very fond of your little friend", Nuriko said.
"Yeah, I can see that. I wasn't very fond of her the first time I met her either"; Fuuko remembers the first time she had met Yanagi. She was mad because someone like Yanagi became Recca's hime, a title she had been wanting ever since they were little kids. Especially when she found out that she only became Recca's princess because he wants to.
"Why? Because she stole you're man from you?"
"Eh... You can say that. Actually, she became Recca's hime because he wanted her to be when they only met each other. I wanted him to be my ninja ever since were kids and I've been working so hard to get the title then she stole it away".
"See, that's exactly the same thing that's happening now. She's stealing Hotohori-sama from me", Nuriko banged her hands on the table and it broke down. Before Fuuko could tell her not to worry because of Recca, Tamahome and Yanagi come in and sit down.
"Oh, this wood is rotten".
They all sit down at another table. The waiters give them their food. Nuriko was still so focused on Yanagi to notice anything. They all started eating when Tamahome saw some men whispering and laughing.
"Wait, don't eat those. Those men are bandits", he said.
"What?" Nuriko looked behind her and stopped the big knife before it sliced her and broke it down. Fuuko stood up and saw a man trying to hit her with another weapon. She fell on the floor and fortunately was not hit although it was inches away from her body.
"That was really close", her eyes are wide. Another man was behind Yanagi.
"Yanagi, behind you", Yanagi looked behind her and saw a man with another weapon. And obviously, she can't do anything about it. Tamahome tries to jump to her rescue but wasn't able to get there in time. With a puff of smoke the man fell down before he was able to hit her.
"Hotohori!" Yanagi said as she saw him.
Later...
They were all in the forest resting. Hotohori and Yanagi were talking. Everyone else was behind a tree watching them. Nuriko and Fuuko in one tree. Tamahome was on the other side.
"Hotohori, do you know that someone likes you?"
"No", Hotohori smiled; thinking it must be Yanagi.
Nuriko was getting angrier; also thinking Yanagi was talking about herself.
"That Yanagi!"
"Nuriko, I'm sure she's-".
"SSSHHHH!!!!" Nuriko stopped her before she could continue.
"Well, there is. She's right in front of you and you don't even notice her".
"I'm sure I do notice".
"No, you don't".
"Will you tell me who it is?"
"I'll tell you next time", Yanagi walked away. She slipped on the rope on the ground. It was a trap; there was a big thing with spiky things going to hit Yanagi.
"Yanagi!!!" Hotohori ran to her to save her.
"Hotohori-sama!!!" Nuriko ran to them.
"Nuriko!!!" Fuuko ran after her. A big log behind Nuriko hit her. Fuuko turned around and was hit by the same trap. Tamahome went out behind the tree and was hit on his head by a log.
Fuuko woke up and saw herself tied up in a room with Hotohori, Nuriko, Tamahome and Yanagi. Everyone wakes up.
"Where are we?" Tamahome asked.
"The last thing I remember, was when I ran to Hotohori-sama".
"Hey there", some men came in.
"Bandits", Tamahome whispered.
A man with blue hair came in.
"Eiken says, I should take one of them to him", he said.
"Take me!" Fuuko volunteered.
"Fuuko".
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, remember Taiitsukun's mirror. It says mountain. The Seishi must be one of these guys. I'll ask the leader, so just stay here and keep quiet".
"Fuuko-san, these men are bandits", Yanagi said.
"I've been through worse. I can always just blow them away", Fuuko shows her Fuujin to Yanagi. Fuuko came with the men outside.
"What does she mean she can always blow them away?" Tamahome asked.
"She has Fuujin".
"What's that?"
"You'll find out soon", a man held on to Hotohori's face.
"The three of you women are a real beauty. Why don't you drink with us?" the man said.
"Women-?"
"Hotohori-sama, Fuuko's right. We should stay quiet".
"Are you telling the emperor to act like a woman?"
The men untied them except Tamahome.
"Alright, now get us some drinks".
"Just give me a minute", Hotohori puts on some make up and turns back around. "Nuriko, Yanagi, let's go".
Nuriko, Yanagi and Tamahome just stares at him. Hotohori serves some drinks.
Fuuko was walking with a man with blue hair and a scar on his cheek along with some other bandits. They stand behind a door.
"Who is it? It's me, Kouji. What are you doing here? I'm here to bring you one of the girls. Alright, come in. Arigatou", Kouji said and opened the door. Fuuko stares at him like he was in some sort of medication.
"Kouji, what have you got for me?" a big ugly man said. Eiken looks at Fuuko from bottom to top. "Wow! She passed my test".
"What test? You better keep your paws off of me or you'll be sorry", Fuuko said.
"We're leaving now"; Kouji and the others went out.
"Hey! Where are you going? Get back here!" Fuuko shouted at them.
"Forget about them", Eiken grabbed her arm. "Now stay still".
"I warned you!!!" Fuuko kicks Eiken away from her.
Nuriko and Hotohori were serving the bandits.
"You're very tall for a woman but you're very pretty", a man in front of Hotohori said.
"Yes, lots of people say that about me", the man rubs himself on Hotohori.
Yanagi goes to Tamahome and starts untying the ropes.
Nuriko sees it and uses the table to attack the bandits.
"What's going on? Are you men or something?" one of them asked.
"You only realized that", Hotohori said as he pulled out his sword. The man was still hugging him.
"I don't care if you're a guy. You're still very beautiful".
"Nuriko, will you do something about this man?"
"I'll be glad to. I'm the real woman here", Nuriko gets him. Kouji comes in and Tamahome holds him.
"Where's Fuuko?"
"Tell me, is there someone here with letter that pops out of his body?" Fuuko tortured Eiken. Nuriko punches the wall.
"What great power", Nuriko showed off to Kouji.
"Fuuko? Are you ok?" Hotohori asked.
"Of course, I'm ok. I told you, I can handle it", Fuuko smiled. "So, are you going to tell me or not?" Fuuko hurt him again.
"Ok, ok. I'll talk. There is someone with a letter in his body. He's Tasuki".
Just then someone came in the window.
"Long time no see, Eiken. I heard you became leader while I was on journey", a man with flame colored hair said. He threw some paper at them and wolves came out. Before Fuuko knew it, he was holding her.
"What are you doing? Let go of me. HIIIIYYYAAAA!!!" Fuuko hit him.
"Ouch!!! What the fuck did you do that for?" he asked.
"Why do you think?" Fuuko asked as she landed. "Genrou?"
"Fuuko?" they asked together when they saw their faces.
"What are you doing here?" they asked together.
"I'm looking for the rest of the Seishi".
"I'm here to get my title".
"Genrou!!! What are you doing here?"
"I just answered that same question!!! I'm here to get my title back. Fight me to see who is the leader".
"Fine, but I don't think you would win. Takes a big fan out".
"Will somebody tell me what's going on?" Fuuko asked angrily. She looks at everyone being attacked by wolves. She uses her Fuujin and blows them away. The wolves turn back to paper.
"Fuuko! What's that? How did you do that?" Nuriko asked.
"This is a madougu called Fuujin".
"Madougu? It's so powerful", Tamahome said rubbing it.
"It's my most prized possession. I'm not letting you have it", Fuuko punched him. They all look at Genrou and Eiken. Eiken uses the tessen and makes fire come out. They all go out. Fuuko used her Fuujin and hit Eiken with her wind. He drops the tessen and Genrou picks it up.
Later...
"Why did you help me?"
"Because you helped me once. And I did it to save my own life too. I knew that guy was no good. You're telling me you're supposed to be the leader of these bandits and he became the leader because you were away?"
"Yes, our leader passed away a month ago and he always wanted Genrou to be the leader. Even before he died he was still thinking about Genrou", Kouji said.
"The Suzaku no Miko helped Genrou to be the leader of the Leikaku bandits", Tokiya read.
"Is there anyone here with the name Tasuki?"
"Maybe Eiken knows".
"I don't really know who he is", Eiken answered.
"Genrou?"
"I know who he is. He's our former leader. He's Tasuki but he's dead now".
"What? The fifth Seishi is dead?"
"Sorry, but if you want to visit he's tomb we can take you there", Kouji said.
In the tomb...
"Yanagi, can't you revive the dead?" Tamahome asked.
"No, I can only heal. I can't revive the dead".
"I heard this rumor that there is someone in Chohkoh who can revive the dead".
"Really? Is that true?" Fuuko asked.
"I don't know it's just a rumor".
Later...
"I don't know about this. Fuuko, are you sure you wanna do this?"
"Not really but we can't summon Suzaku if one of the Seishi is dead", Fuuko looks at the mirror. "Hey, look. It says healing. There must be Seishi nearby".
"Hey miss, is this Chohkoh?" Fuuko asked a woman passing by.
"Hai".
"Is it true that someone here is able to revive the dead?"
"Yes, it's me. My name is Shoka. I'm on my way to revive someone right now", Fuuko and the others decide to go with her to see if she's really telling the truth.
Shoka resuscitates a dead man and he wakes up.
"Wow! It's really true. She can resuscitate the dead", Yanagi said joyfully.
"An incurable disease had broken in this town about a month ago. It gives you fever then makes you feel really weak and soon you die. It's even better to die and have you revived back to perfect health instead of suffering", said an old man.
Before Shoka can leave, Fuuko blocks her way.
"Ms. Shoka, how could you do that? Are you a Suzaku Seishi? Do you have some sort of letter in your body that lights up".
"No, I don't".
"Could you come with us? We have someone we need you to revive".
"My powers will be gone if I leave this town"; Fuuko looks at her not knowing what to do. Then at Hotohori, Nuriko, Tamahome and Yanagi.
"Should we bring Tasuki here?" Fuuko asked. No one answers.
Later...
They were on their way back to the Leikaku bandits to get Tasuki's body. They pass by this place with graves everywhere.
"I think were in a cemetery", Hotohori said. "We must've made a wrong turn. We better go back".
"We can't, we have to keep going", Fuuko argued. Yanagi falls back at Hotohori. Hotohori felt her head.
"She has fever", he said. They remembered the man who told them about the disease.
Fuuko and Nuriko and Fuuko fell off their horse. The horse fell into this hole.
They hear Yanagi scream. She was being pulled by hand from the ground.
"Yanagi!!" Tamahome shouted and yanked her away from the hand. More bodies stand up. Fuuko tries to blow them away with Fuujin but they keep coming.
"LEKKA SHINEN!!!!!" They see fire cover the bodies.
"Genrou???" Fuuko saw Genrou with the fan. He burns all the dead bodies.
"I wasn't going to come but you guys are just so unreliable", Genrou said. "We've all decided to make Kouji the leader. I'm sure our boss would accept that. I wasn't coming but they told me to go ahead".
"Why?"
"You still don't get it? Genrou's just my nickname. I'm actually Tasuki. I'm sorry I lied", he showed his letter.
"You're Tasuki???" Fuuko asked with a really angry look.
"You know all the trouble we've been through because of you?" Hotohori said.
"You're Tasuki???" Fuuko repeated looking angrier.
"Yeah, we've been through a whole lot thanks to you", Nuriko said.
"You're Tasuki???" Fuuko looked even angrier.
"You even got Yanagi sick", Tamahome said.
"You... are... Tasuki?!?!" Fuuko turned all red with anger.
"Hey, I said I'm sorry".
"You... You..." Fuuko started chasing him around.
Yanagi faints.
"Yanagi!!" Hotohori caught her. "We should really get back".
Author's Notes: I know this chapter totally sucks but I'm kinda experiencing some sort of writer's problem right now. You know like I can't think of what exactly to write and I start getting really lazy when I'm writing this. That's normal, right? I think there's a name for that. Anyway, watch out for the next chapters. Hopefully, they will be better than this. (Disclaimer: I don't own Flame of Recca and Fuushigi Yuugi and all its characters and storyline I've used here or anything else I can't possibly own) Please review!!!
Chapter 7
The Leikaku Bandits
Tamahome was watching Hotohori and Yanagi talking from the corner. He turned back looking really pissed and went back to his bedroom.
"That Hotohori guy is hitting on my princess", Recca said. Tokiya just grinned.
"Don't worry about them. Too many people are affected already"; Domon tried to get Recca to calm down.
"I know, I have a feeling that Tamahome also likes her".
"The Suzaku no Miko passed by and saw Nuriko looking at the emperor and her friend", Tokiya continued.
Nuriko was also watching them from afar.
"Nuriko? What are you doing?" Fuuko asked as she passed by. Nuriko didn't answer and just looked at Fuuko with anger and jealousy in her eyes then looked back at Yanagi and the emperor. Fuuko looks at them realizes what was wrong.
"Oh, I see", before Fuuko could continue, Nuriko stood up.
"I'm going to my room", Nuriko said and left.
"This isn't good", Fuuko shook her head.
The next day...
"You're going to look for the other three Seishi?" Hotohori asked. "Even if you lost the 'Book of the Four Gods' in Kutou?"
"Hai, we're really sorry, Hotohori. But Taiitsukun gave us this. She said it'll give us a signal if there is a Seishi nearby", she showed Hotohori the mirror.
"Fuuko-san are we going yet?" Yanagi came in.
"Yanagi, you're coming with them?" Hotohori asked.
"Hai, I want to help them", Hotohori looked at Fuuko.
"I didn't think it's a good idea at first too but I Yanagi thinks she's useless and she'll just be a burden if she stays here. She really wants to help us and I thought she could heal us if any of us gets injured. We've been through something like this together before. She can handle it".
"Well, ok, be careful then".
There were three horses. Nuriko and Fuuko, riding in one. Tamahome and Yanagi in another and Chichiri in another.
"Hey, look at this. It says mountain"; Fuuko showed them the mirror.
"That means there must be a Suzaku Seishi in this mountain. But I heard there are lot of bandits here".
Back at the palace...
A really, really cute Chichiri appeared in front of Hotohori.
"Chichiri, what are you doing here?"
"I came back cause I know how worried you are about Fuuko and Yanagi no da".
"I want to make sure that they're safe but I can't do anything. I can't leave the palace".
"That's why I'm here no da", Chichiri transforms into Hotohori. "Now I look just like you no da. You can go with them while I stay here in your place na no da".
"Thank you Chichiri but... I'm not beautiful enough. My eyes are supposed to be smaller and my nose should be higher and you're not sexy enough. Transform again!"
"I can't transform any better than this no da".
They're all seated down ordering some food. Nuriko had been giving Yanagi the silent treatment. Not like she ever talked to her anyway. Nuriko had also been staring at Yanagi with an evil eye.

"So, where's Tamahome and Chichiri?" Fuuko tries to break the silence. No answer from both of them. Fuuko sweatdropped. Nuriko keeps staring at Yanagi.
"I'll go get Tamahome-kun. He's outside having some fresh air"; Yanagi finally had it. She stood up and went out.
"You know Fuuko, I'm not very fond of your little friend", Nuriko said.
"Yeah, I can see that. I wasn't very fond of her the first time I met her either"; Fuuko remembers the first time she had met Yanagi. She was mad because someone like Yanagi became Recca's hime, a title she had been wanting ever since they were little kids.

"See, that's exactly the same thing that's happening now. She's stealing Hotohori-sama from me", Nuriko banged her hands on the table and it broke down. Before Fuuko could tell her not to worry because of Recca, Tamahome and Yanagi come in and sit down.
"Oh, this wood is rotten".
They all sit down at another table. The waiters give them their food. Nuriko was still so focused on Yanagi to notice anything. They all started eating when Tamahome saw some men whispering and laughing.

"Hotohori!" Yanagi said as she saw him.
Later...
They were all in the forest resting. Hotohori and Yanagi were talking. Everyone else was behind a tree watching them. Nuriko and Fuuko in one tree. Tamahome was on the other side.
"Hotohori, do you know that someone likes you?"
"No", Hotohori smiled; thinking it must be Yanagi.
Nuriko was getting angrier; also thinking Yanagi was talking about herself.
"That Yanagi!"
"Nuriko, I'm sure she's-".
"SSSHHHH!!!!" Nuriko stopped her before she could continue.
"Well, there is. She's right in front of you and you don't even notice her".
"I'm sure I do notice".
"No, you don't".
"Will you tell me who it is?"
"I'll tell you next time", Yanagi walked away. She slipped on the rope on the ground. It was a trap; there was a big thing with spiky things going to hit Yanagi.
"Yanagi!!!" Hotohori ran to her to save her.
"Hotohori-sama!!!" Nuriko ran to them.
"Nuriko!!!" Fuuko ran after her. A big log behind Nuriko hit her. Fuuko turned around and was hit by the same trap. Tamahome went out behind the tree and was hit on his head by a log.
Fuuko woke up and saw herself tied up in a room with Hotohori, Nuriko, Tamahome and Yanagi. Everyone wakes up.
"Where are we?" Tamahome asked.
"The last thing I remember, was when I ran to Hotohori-sama".
"Hey there", some men came in.
"Bandits", Tamahome whispered.
A man with blue hair came in.
"Eiken says, I should take one of them to him", he said.
"Take me!" Fuuko volunteered.
"Fuuko".
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, remember Taiitsukun's mirror. It says mountain. The Seishi must be one of these guys. I'll ask the leader, so just stay here and keep quiet".
"Fuuko-san, these men are bandits", Yanagi said.
"I've been through worse. I can always just blow them away", Fuuko shows her Fuujin to Yanagi. Fuuko came with the men outside.
"What does she mean she can always blow them away?" Tamahome asked.
"She has Fuujin".
"What's that?"
"You'll find out soon", a man held on to Hotohori's face.
"The three of you women are a real beauty. Why don't you drink with us?" the man said.
"Women-?"
"Hotohori-sama, Fuuko's right. We should stay quiet".
"Are you telling the emperor to act like a woman?"
The men untied them except Tamahome.
"Alright, now get us some drinks".
"Just give me a minute", Hotohori puts on some make up and turns back around. "Nuriko, Yanagi, let's go".
Nuriko, Yanagi and Tamahome just stares at him. Hotohori serves some drinks.
Fuuko was walking with a man with blue hair and a scar on his cheek along with some other bandits. They stand behind a door.
"Who is it? It's me, Kouji. What are you doing here? I'm here to bring you one of the girls. Alright, come in. Arigatou", Kouji said and opened the door. Fuuko stares at him like he was in some sort of medication.
"Kouji, what have you got for me?" a big ugly man said. Eiken looks at Fuuko from bottom to top. "Wow! She passed my test".
"What test? You better keep your paws off of me or you'll be sorry", Fuuko said.
"We're leaving now"; Kouji and the others went out.
"Hey! Where are you going? Get back here!" Fuuko shouted at them.
"Forget about them", Eiken grabbed her arm. "Now stay still".
"I warned you!!!" Fuuko kicks Eiken away from her.
Nuriko and Hotohori were serving the bandits.
"You're very tall for a woman but you're very pretty", a man in front of Hotohori said.
"Yes, lots of people say that about me", the man rubs himself on Hotohori.
Yanagi goes to Tamahome and starts untying the ropes.
Nuriko sees it and uses the table to attack the bandits.
"What's going on? Are you men or something?" one of them asked.
"You only realized that", Hotohori said as he pulled out his sword. The man was still hugging him.
"I don't care if you're a guy. You're still very beautiful".
"Nuriko, will you do something about this man?"
"I'll be glad to. I'm the real woman here", Nuriko gets him. Kouji comes in and Tamahome holds him.

"Ok, ok. I'll talk. There is someone with a letter in his body. He's Tasuki".
Just then someone came in the window.
"Long time no see, Eiken. I heard you became leader while I was on journey", a man with flame colored hair said. He threw some paper at them and wolves came out. Before Fuuko knew it, he was holding her.
"What are you doing? Let go of me. HIIIIYYYAAAA!!!" Fuuko hit him.
"Ouch!!! What the fuck did you do that for?" he asked.
"Why do you think?" Fuuko asked as she landed. "Genrou?"
"Fuuko?" they asked together when they saw their faces.
"What are you doing here?" they asked together.
"I'm looking for the rest of the Seishi".
"I'm here to get my title".
"Genrou!!! What are you doing here?"
"I just answered that same question!!! I'm here to get my title back. Fight me to see who is the leader".
"Fine, but I don't think you would win. Takes a big fan out".
"Will somebody tell me what's going on?" Fuuko asked angrily. She looks at everyone being attacked by wolves. She uses her Fuujin and blows them away. The wolves turn back to paper.
"Fuuko! What's that? How did you do that?" Nuriko asked.
"This is a madougu called Fuujin".
"Madougu? It's so powerful", Tamahome said rubbing it.
"It's my most prized possession. I'm not letting you have it", Fuuko punched him. They all look at Genrou and Eiken. Eiken uses the tessen and makes fire come out. They all go out. Fuuko used her Fuujin and hit Eiken with her wind. He drops the tessen and Genrou picks it up.

"Why did you help me?"
"Because you helped me once. And I did it to save my own life too. I knew that guy was no good. You're telling me you're supposed to be the leader of these bandits and he became the leader because you were away?"
"Yes, our leader passed away a month ago and he always wanted Genrou to be the leader. Even before he died he was still thinking about Genrou", Kouji said.
"The Suzaku no Miko helped Genrou to be the leader of the Leikaku bandits", Tokiya read.
"Is there anyone here with the name Tasuki?"
"Maybe Eiken knows".
"I don't really know who he is", Eiken answered.
"Genrou?"
"I know who he is. He's our former leader. He's Tasuki but he's dead now".
"What? The fifth Seishi is dead?"
"Sorry, but if you want to visit he's tomb we can take you there", Kouji said.
In the tomb...
"Yanagi, can't you revive the dead?" Tamahome asked.
"No, I can only heal. I can't revive the dead".
"I heard this rumor that there is someone in Chohkoh who can revive the dead".
"Really? Is that true?" Fuuko asked.
"I don't know it's just a rumor".
Later...
"I don't know about this. Fuuko, are you sure you wanna do this?"
"Not really but we can't summon Suzaku if one of the Seishi is dead", Fuuko looks at the mirror. "Hey, look. It says healing. There must be Seishi nearby".
"Hey miss, is this Chohkoh?" Fuuko asked a woman passing by.
"Hai".
"Is it true that someone here is able to revive the dead?"
"Yes, it's me. My name is Shoka. I'm on my way to revive someone right now", Fuuko and the others decide to go with her to see if she's really telling the truth.
Shoka resuscitates a dead man and he wakes up.
"Wow! It's really true. She can resuscitate the dead", Yanagi said joyfully.
"An incurable disease had broken in this town about a month ago. It gives you fever then makes you feel really weak and soon you die. It's even better to die and have you revived back to perfect health instead of suffering", said an old man.
Before Shoka can leave, Fuuko blocks her way.
"Ms. Shoka, how could you do that? Are you a Suzaku Seishi? Do you have some sort of letter in your body that lights up".
"No, I don't".
"Could you come with us? We have someone we need you to revive".
"My powers will be gone if I leave this town"; Fuuko looks at her not knowing what to do. Then at Hotohori, Nuriko, Tamahome and Yanagi.
"Should we bring Tasuki here?" Fuuko asked. No one answers.
Later...
They were on their way back to the Leikaku bandits to get Tasuki's body. They pass by this place with graves everywhere.
"I think were in a cemetery", Hotohori said. "We must've made a wrong turn. We better go back".
"We can't, we have to keep going", Fuuko argued. Yanagi falls back at Hotohori. Hotohori felt her head.
"She has fever", he said. They remembered the man who told them about the disease.
Fuuko and Nuriko and Fuuko fell off their horse. The horse fell into this hole.
They hear Yanagi scream. She was being pulled by hand from the ground.
"Yanagi!!" Tamahome shouted and yanked her away from the hand. More bodies stand up. Fuuko tries to blow them away with Fuujin but they keep coming.
"LEKKA SHINEN!!!!!" They see fire cover the bodies.
"Genrou???" Fuuko saw Genrou with the fan. He burns all the dead bodies.
"I wasn't going to come but you guys are just so unreliable", Genrou said. "We've all decided to make Kouji the leader. I'm sure our boss would accept that. I wasn't coming but they told me to go ahead".
"Why?"
"You still don't get it? Genrou's just my nickname. I'm actually Tasuki. I'm sorry I lied", he showed his letter.
"You're Tasuki???" Fuuko asked with a really angry look.
"You know all the trouble we've been through because of you?" Hotohori said.
"You're Tasuki???" Fuuko repeated looking angrier.
"Yeah, we've been through a whole lot thanks to you", Nuriko said.
"You're Tasuki???" Fuuko looked even angrier.
"You even got Yanagi sick", Tamahome said.
"You... are... Tasuki?!?!" Fuuko turned all red with anger.
"Hey, I said I'm sorry".
"You... You..." Fuuko started chasing him around.
Yanagi faints.
"Yanagi!!" Hotohori caught her. "We should really get back".
Author's Notes: I know this chapter totally sucks but I'm kinda experiencing some sort of writer's problem right now. You know like I can't think of what exactly to write and I start getting really lazy when I'm writing this. That's normal, right? I think there's a name for that. Anyway, watch out for the next chapters. Hopefully, they will be better than this. (Disclaimer: I don't own Flame of Recca and Fuushigi Yuugi and all its characters and storyline I've used here or anything else I can't possibly own) Please review!!!
