Chapter 1
Shibien, the Central Goddess


In the heavens, it was well known that the Four Cardinal Gods - Genbu the Onyx Tortoise, Byakko the White Tiger, Seiryuu the Azure Dragon, and Suzaku the Red Phoenix - resided there along with the Creator, Taiitsukun. And everyone knew of the story of the Miko and her shichiseishi that were associated with each god.
But very few knew of the Goddess Shibien, the Violet Wolf or her legend...

~*~*~*~*~

"That's it! Seiryuu is REALLY going to pay for it this time!" Shibien screamed in a raging fury and marched off to find her annoying elder brother. The beautiful violet haired, lavender eyed Goddess had had enough of her brother's antics. Screwing with her seishi is where she drew the line!
As the youngest and only girl in her family, Shibien was rather spoiled with affection from her brothers and Taiitsukun. Seiryuu was the one and often times only who could manage to tick her off and get chi blasted. He, being somewhat of a jerk most times, always had to have his way. Whenever he couldn't, he would wind up messing with anyone handy-and that was almost always her or Suzaku.
But this time he had gone beyond that very fine line and was going to pay dearly. Spotting an unmistakable flash of blue, Shibien prepared to fire her chi at him. I wonder if the others would like roasted dragon for diner...

Hikari had no idea of his destination, he just walked. This path he traveled seemed both familiar and unfamiliar. He knew he had never traveled it in the past but he instinctually knew it. And there was that feeling of having an urgent purpose, but he didn't know of any reason.
Sighing, the brown haired, black-eyed man continued on his puzzling quest.

~*~*~*~*~

Yuki sighed quietly. Long silver strands fell forward and danced over a beautiful face gracefully, but were harshly pushed back. This world was confusing, but oddly he felt more at ease here than he ever had. Like this was where he belonged.
All his life Yuki had tried to make himself fit in, but he always managed an arrogant reputation. He, no matter what, just couldn't get over being overly proper and narcissistic.
But now. Here. He could fit in and not be thought of as the 'strange one'.
Wrapping his cloak tighter around himself and adjusting his bag and Yuki walked on to an unknown location.

~*~*~*~*~

Akira awoke to feel the smaller form of his twin sister in his arms. He looked down with silver eyes to see Aki still sleeping. Her eyes were closed but there were tears streaming down her face onto Akira's bare arm and chest.
He still couldn't believe Kei had killed their family. Of course their parents had only provided them with their basic needs and occasionally a little more, but Kei had been spoiled by Akira and Aki.
Aki stirred and two tearful silver orbs looked up at Akira. Her arms wrapped around him in a desperate embrace.
"You alright, Imooto?" he asked her quietly.
"I don't know, Aniki. What about you?"
"We'll make it. We always do."
Both remained silent in each other's embrace until Aki broke the silence with a question.
"Akira. Where are we? And... my arm's not broken anymore."
Akira stayed quiet for a few moments, but in the end answered, "I don't know," to his sister. "I can't think of any reasons... All I know is we are no longer in Tokyo and whatever injuries we had," he glanced to her arm and noticed a bruise appearing, "seem to be just bruises now..."
They lay there a while longer before Aki got up and dressed in clothes quite obviously hers. A questioning look came from Akira when she tossed him his clothes.
"I just have a feeling we need to do something very important and very urgent. And we should really get moving."
