Disclaimer: not mine

AN: well, I took Noda no miko's advice and did this. I SHOULD have some clue to what I am doing, but not really. This is SOOO like my soi/nakago (which I hate them both but dunnoo... Miaka and____ (place name there) has been done and worn. gomen authors of that. That one was also on a winter day and is called "until we meet again." One of my better writings. Check it out! ) dedicated to: noda no miko.

Chapter 1: Saihitei

By: fire demoness

I walked down along the winter sidewalk in front of the college, my heavy textbooks in one hand and my keys in the other. Finally. School was off due to the heavy snowfall... not that anyone complained.

*beep beep*

my car door opened with that unique little chirp and I put my things inside. Suddenly, a hand came down on my shoulder and I whipped around, ready to hit whoever it was.

"WOAH!!! Saihitei!!(woops, spelled name wrong...) calm down... geez... just wanted to ask you something."

My hand relaxed as I slowly grinned. My heart rate was also going down to normal. I got in the car and the person slowly followed.

"So, what did you want to ask me Houjun (ack! Another sp!)?"

he sat there for a minute until I went to a stop sign. Then he took a deep breath and asked me a question that made me screech the car to a stop.

*HONK!!! HONK!! HONK HONK HONK!!! *

cars swerved by my little convertible as I gasped for breath. That... how.? Houjun got out of the car and walked off. In his seat was a little scrap of paper. I turned around to see if anyone had been hurt and saw something that made my heart pound.

A man with purple hair tied in a braid ran up to me. Time seemed to slow down as I took in every detail. The hair... the eyes... everything.

Nuriko...

//Hotohori, do you believe in true love following you after death?//

the note fluttered open as Saihitei stared at the person running over.

" Saihitei,

there will be a party at Miaka's next Saturday. Come. We want you to meet someone.

- Houjun "

TBC?

Uhhh... did NOT come out the way I planned. SORRY!!! I think it was a little confusing. //- is thoughts. That was the question Chichiri has asked him. Chichiri and Hotohori are best buds. Everyone says eitther Nuriko or Chichiri is TASUKI's best friend, and I agree. But this time, I felt sorry that Hotohori didn't have a best bud.

Any questions or suggestions, or just wanna chat- AIM- MysticalAngel415.

REVIEW!!!!!! I update by reviews. Oops, gotta go work on chiriko fic... "a seishi's worth"

(when reviewing, do NOT SAY THAT I CAN WRITE BETTER THAN YOU!! That means you too, noda no miko! Me, I just doing it for FUN, although flames suck big time. One flame for me wipes out 8 good reviews. Yes. Horrible people they are.)
