AN: Wow... I have no idea what I am gonna do with all the reviwers... I HAD an idea and then I ditched it... tell me plz!! Ok for the last reviewer as of the day after Christmas, what do u mean? First you tell me that it isnt funny, then that another author should do it and you end with "never stop writing" WTF?!?! I don't really get if that's a diss, an encouragement, or neither. I'm not stupid, just confused.

(people have different tastes of humor, I just go by what I think makes sense. It might not be funny to some, just try to understand and if you really just can NOT STAND it, go read something else. Im not trying to be mean.)

THANK YOU REVIEWERS!!!!!!! It's ur encouragement that makes me want to write more!!!

The winners start to show up more in the next few chapters...



Chapter 6: Mitsukake

By: fire demoness

Mitsukake walked along the ashen forest road, looking for any signs of Tasuki ever being here. Miaka had gotten worried when only 2 of her seishi were around her. Because Tamahome and her were too busy doing their "mating call"( yes like da birds…)

**memory**

Miaka: Tamahome...

Tamahome: Miaka...

Miaka: Tamahome...

Tamahome: Miaka...

Miaka: Tamahome...

Tamahome:Miaka...

(Oooo creates a perdi pattern don't it?^^sorry miaka/tamahome fans)

**end memory**

he had gotten sick of it and volunteered to find the others. Their voices still haunted him even now and so he concentrated on looking for Tasuki. Someone,called weaselgirl, had told him that there had been a fire nearby in the woods. Her name didn't make her seem like a trustworthy person, but she LOOKED nice and honest enough.

Mitsukake picked up a piece of glass from the ground. He sniffed it gingerly and stood up. Smelled like sake. Tasuki must have been here, but where was he now?

"AAHHH!!!"

Mitsukake fell face-first into a pile of leaves. He turned around to see who or what had tripped him... a log. He had been so obsessed with finding the others that he hadnt paid attention to where he was going. Mitsukake began to get up, only to spy a shiny glint from under a leaf.

He always had a love for shiny things, although he would NEVER tell the others that. And they wondered why he kept his medicines in CLEAR glass bottles instead of the wooden jars that other doctors used(1).

"Oo... what is it?"

he muttered as he picked up a long glass tube. It had markings ovber a side and... a line. A red line... amazing. There was also a silver side to the "tube" and when he put his hand on it for a closer look at the "thing" the red bar moved up. Where the line had ended at the line "96" it went to "96.5"(2)

"AMAZING"

Mitsukake turned the glass "thing" over and over again, trying to figure out every detail of how it worked. It couldn't be dangerous could it-

"AHH!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mitsukake clutched his finger as the "thing" dropped to the forest floor and broke in half. The light had reflected off the sun and hit his eyes, causing him to drop the "thing" and...

"MY HAND!"

...leaking what he realized to be mercury(3) onto his hand. He healed it immediately, before it could get into under his skin. It was pain beyond pain...Mitsukake ran away from the "thing" that leaked mercury as fast as he could...

Behind him, the mercury was spreading fast through the leaves and towards the trees...

TBC

notes:

I THINK other doctors used wooden jars...

Im using U.S. things rite now... sorry people in Asia or something...

He just knows about it from one of Miaka's books. -.-"

Ok this chapter wasn't as funny, but come oN! It was MITSUKAKE!!!

REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!please????????? for next chapter! If you want another chapter...no flames.
