Part 3: The Meeting…and a Surprise

Author: Hfan

Notes: Haha! All of you that had been waiting for! The 3rd part of Hotohori's past, present and future! Hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Disclaimer: Okay. This part of Fy belongs to the OVA sequential stories. They don't belong to me. As my hiragana translation is rather…okay, VERY weak, I can't possibly translate everything they said. Some was just using my imagination to yak off the character. Hope you don't mind I'll try my best to make the story more…err…to the story line! ^^;;;

"Miaka…minna…we are finally going to meet…" Andy signed as he came down from his flight from China. It had been a long flight of about 5 hours and his legs were stiff, but the thought of going to meet his long lost friends made him forgot the pain as he stepped to the immigration corner.

Once when he stepped into the arrival hall, he was surprised to see hundreds of fans, mainly girls, screaming his name. There were even some that brought banners with his name splashed on them.

"Well…I never expect to see so much people in Japan to recognise me…but of course! I'm already quite well known!" Andy thought to himself. (Hfan: Hotohori's nature strikes back…)

He flashed them a bright smile as he walked past them, stopping now and then to sign things that were thrust out to him. But he remember who he was going to meet so he hastily signed the last few things, went into the Mercedes and drove off, trying to resist the temptation to posed for a few more photos for the delighted fans.

~***~

As he knocked on the Yuuki's front door, he felt rather happy, but a little sad and worried at the same time.

"What if they don't really remember me? Miaka…" He muttered.

Just then, the door swung open and a rather familiar voice (Miaka) cried out "Hotohori!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Before Andy knew what was going on, he was pulled inside.

~***~

"It's been quite some time since we saw each other ne Hotohori-sama no da!?" Chichiri said.

"Hai! Ever since we defeated Tenkou, we had been wondering what would happened to all 4 for you!" Miaka said, indicating Joe (Nuriko), Duke Prio (Chiriko), Pedro (Mitsukake) and of course, Andy (Hotohori).

"Well…we had all been busy…" Joe said airily as he took a can of drink from the fridge and slammed the door shut. But to his horror, the door broke and swung at its hinges instead.

"Ahhh…that happened sometimes…" He gave a weak laugh as others sweatdropped.

~***~

"Mhfff…I'm sooooooo hungry! After all those excitement!!!!" Miaka said between her non-stop-meal-eating-mouth-bites.

"Haha! Still the same eh Miaka!?" Tasuki mocked as Chichiri put in "Da…We haven't seen her eating for so long that we forgotten her no da! But it does get rather scary."

Meanwhile, Andy and the others are discussing about their past and present lives now.

"…I realised that I was Suzaku shichi seishi Mitsukake when Miaka's brother and Tetsuya actually asked me about me 'healing abilities', which I actually didn't realised until a few days ago…" Pedro said to the others.

"Ah…I'm worst. Even thought I'm a man working for the French navy, I still dress as a women!" Joe laughed. Andy didn't lose out either. "I actually realised I was Hotohori when Tetsuya mentioned Miaka's name…"

Duke Prio interrupted "Nan de? Why Miaka's name…?"

Andy replied hastily " Because I knew that I was more beautiful than her and that her eating habits would never leave my mind…"

"MIAKA IS NOT THAT HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Miaka spoke up between mouthfuls of food, causing everyone to laugh out loud.

"Miaka…you are still as genki as ever…I'm glad that Tetsuya asked me here…" Andy thought happily as he laughed with everyone

~***~

MEANWHILE…

Taka: It's amazing how you brought them all here, even Tasuki and Chichiri!

Keisuke: * laughs * Say that to our Mr Smart Guy here!

Tetsuya: Well…I figured out that Miaka would like to meet all her seishis, so I decided to do a little researching to bring them all here.

But knowing his best friend, Keisuke suspected that Tetsuya was into one of his more cunning ideas…

Keisuke: Okay! Tell us your plans now!

Tetsuya: * Innocently * Eh? What plans?

Keisuke: Come on! You are not that kind as to go to all those troubles just to give Miaka happiness?! She is not your sister!

Tetsuya: Hehe! You'll know soon enough! 7 people are just right!

Taka: ???

The NEXT DAY……

Huge crowds gathered at the stadium. "Welcome to today's baseball match! And today we have a new group that just signed up at the last minute! They are….The Suzaku Seven!!!!!!" The commentator said as the Suzaku Seven stepped out into the field.

Andy was rather surprised and a little annoyed. "Called me all that way from China just to play a dumb baseball match!?" He thought, irritated at the fact. But looking at Miaka's excited face and the others, he felt himself getting excited too and he put those thoughts aside as he strode to his place.

As Andy watched, Tasuki lifted up his TESSEN and whacked at the ball that the opponent threw. "LEKKA SHIEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The fiery ball soared across the sky as the crowd gasped. Pedro caught it just in time before it became ashes.

"Oi! You there! Can you hit lighter next time!? Good thing I'm trained to catch flying balls or else our group will lose a point!" Pedro yelled at Tasuki

"Ack! Gome Mitsukake-san! But we really need Tasuki to whacked that ball, or else it wouldn't be caught on fire and the opponent may find it easy to catch!" Joe replied for Tasuki.

But Andy retorted "Hmph! I can throw that ball better than he can…"

Joe was at a loss for words. (Hfan:…-_- the narcissistic side of my Hotohori…again) "Wah!!!! Chiriko!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!"

Duke Prio replied "Hmmm…but according to my calculations, that person may not win against Hotohori-sama. Hai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he cried at the opponent swung his bat and send the ball flying towards Andy.

Andy didn't even bother to look at the ball as he caught it with ease. "That was easier than I thought. Probably it's though my years of training accuracy when I was Hotohori…" He thought as he shouted to the person "You there! Is that your best shot? Then be prepared to lose!"

Chichiri urged him "Hotohori-sama!? Hurry up and throw back the baseball no da!!!!!!"

Andy was disappointed that he couldn't continue. "Hmph!" Andy scoffed as he threw back the ball, scoring a straight 1.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Andy-san!!!!!!!!!! Andy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Girls screamed his name as he scored.

"And that's 2 points for Suzaku Seven!!!!!! Andy scored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The commentator said.

"Woah…and I'm actually enjoying playing baseball…" Andy thought, surprised.

The game continued. The Suzaku Seven beat every team easily to get the 1st place, that was rather obvious, since each Suzaku seishi are talented in a way, and they are not normal humans either.

~***~

Keisuke: So THAT'S what you are planning all along!

Tetsuya: Hehe…now you know? Seven people are just enough for a baseball team. And I'm their manager.

Taka: That was pretty smart. Since all of us got special abilities, we would beat other teams easily…"

~***~

Back AT YUUKI'S RESIDENT…

The Suzaku Seven and their miko were having a whale of a lifetime. Sake bottles were thrown everywhere and laughter was everywhere.

Andy looked around him. He smiled. Not any of those smile he gave to the press, but a real smile that showed his happiness, a feeling that he haven't had experience in a long time.

"Miaka…minna…arigatou!" He muttered as Miaka gave a smile in his direction.

BUT IN THE CORNER OF A ROOM……

Keisuke: NOW WHAT YOU ARE GONNA DO ABOUT THIS!?

Tetsuya: Wah…calm down!!!

Keisuke: No I can't!!! Now you had made this mess, how are we gonna fix this!? You had called out Tasuki and Chichiri from the other world, how are you gonna send them back!? My parents are going to be back by tomorrow, so you had better think of some idea to send them back immediately!!!!!!

Tetsuya: Ah…^^;;;
