Chapter 11:Beginnings...
by:black crystal
Tomo cackled his amazingly high laugh while he took out a small clam from his pocket and opened it. Everything around Tatara and Jana began to shimmer. The next moment, they were in a forest. There were trees and bushes everywhere, the perfect hiding place. She slowly turned in a circle, all the while thinking//what the hell!?! where am i?"Tatara had placed a comporting yet somewhat shaking hand on her shoulder and started to guide her along a rocky path to the west.
"Hello miko... you're in MY demension now! and there's no way to escape.KEKEKEKE!!!"
Tomo's high voice rang throughout the "forest" and birds flew up and away. Jana trembled slightly and she felt Tatara's grip on her shoulder tighten. They began walking/jogging down the path, which never seemed to end. Suddenly, in front of their path, a huge boulder fell and blocked their way down. Jana screamed as it missed her by inches. Tatara pushed her to the side of the road as more boulders fell all around them and Tomo's cackle rang up in the sky.
He held out a hand and soon plants began to rise out of the ground. Vines intertwined to form a simple, yet sturdy-looking dome shape around them. Jana shivered as the rocks continued to fall then almost fainted when she saw ants scrawing towards them. Tatara looked at her finally when she continued tugging at his sleeve. He gasped. Millions and millions of fire ants crawled towards them at an increasing speed. No way they could stop them. The plants may be fine to protect them from a huge earth attack, but the tiny tiny ants could crawl in, no matter how much he tried. His miko could never surrive this. The ants would eat at her and the plants would be crushed soon. a well-aimed boulder could kill her instantly.
Jana saw the first of the ants crawl through the cracks of the plant dome. No matter how much they stomped, the ants just kept on coming. Tomo's cackle was drowned out by Jana's screaming and Tatara's apologies..and then, silence. the ants that were crawling up her legs were gone, vanished into thin air. She opened one eye slowly and her face turned into that of anguish. Chichiri was laying on the floor, his left cheek cut and the bump still on his head. There was blood and bruises all over him. She could make out a hole through his arm and side. He was on the ground, panting and coughing up blood. Tomo, beside him, knocked out.
Jana rushed over to Chichiri and lifted his head carefully. He was alive but the pulse was weak. She held out a hand and focused her chi into it. again, a white light surrouded it and all his wounds disappeared. Jana stared into his face and saw that he was unconsious. She put his head down and with the help of Tatara, helped him onto her horse. She was about to leave when she heard Tatara cough and turned around. He was pointing to Tomo's unconsious body laying on the ground. Jana walked over and stared down at him. He was breathing and his clam lay a few feet away. The two long feathers on his hat were drenched with blood. Chichiri's blood no doubt. she curled her lip in disgust and picked up the clam. She pocketed it and went back to Mist. she started down the path and hesitated.
"Tatara, tie him up and leave him somewhere he doesn't know so he wont bother us again..at least for awhile. You better be fast, and careful. i dont want my first seishi hurt."
She said the last part with a grin and slowly led Mist along the red brick road. Jana and the horse carrying Chichiri's body went down the hill-shaped road, off into the distance. The sunset was right in front of her and it seemed like she glowed with power.Tatara smiled as he remembered someone he knew, just like her.
"Jana..you shall make a fine miko...just like Suzuno."
He took tomo's body with him, making sure to hit Tomo's head against every pebble that came across their way.Tatara left him in a faraway place deep in the woods and ran back to the city, ready to travel with his miko and find his fellow seishi...
**Melissa-Suzaku no miko.**
Hotohori and Boushin took Tasuki to his old room, where he dumped his things and said he wanted to look around the palace. Boushin and Hotohori said that they had some catching up to do and that all would be explained soon.
Tasuki sighed as he drank his 3rd bottle(*IS* sake in bottles or cups? i dont remember...) of sake. That damned priestess. Most likely she'll fall for that Tamahome and Hotohori will go after her...just like before. She is so the opposite of Miaka though. and inner voice said.
"S-shuddapp...ugh...you dont k-know m-meeee."he slured.
Miaka had been chirpy and was a little dense. Always eating too.Melissa...she was gloomy at times, happy at others, cunning, may be the word. Gets mad easily and was a clutz. where Miaka depended on others, she acted like she could get along just fine by herself. Fuck her. .. oh and she cussed. thats a first. Mikos didnt cuss...did they?He thought of miaka and kept thinking about her...but everytime he did, Melissa's smirking face appeared. Dark brown eyes, almost black, replaced light brown ones, Blacker- than-black hair replaced light brown.
Tasuki shook his head furiously. it's the sake! it must be the sake...yes. that was it. He threw down the last bottle and ran outside, only to collide with something coming the other way.
"ITAI!!!! YA DAMN CLUMSY BAKA! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING IDIOT!!YOU COULDA FUCKING KILLED ME!!"
came Melissa's voice from where she was lying on the ground, her hands in the air still, protecting a red orb with fancy golden lines all over it. also, on the ground beside her, there was a mirror. She groaned and got up, cussing at him all the while.
"Where ya get da damn mirror from? didn't know you were that much like Hotohori."
Melissa just huffed and walked away. Still the silent treatment. She went to a room by his. Obviously hers. Tasuki frowned and stuck his tounge out at her retreating back. He went back to his room also.
**two hours later**
Melissa, dressed in servant's clothing, snuck out of her room. She had just been to an awkward and boring dinner, which consisted of great food, but two boring people and a person she was not speaking to. Now she could finally have some fun. Get out of this boring palace and go into the fun city of Konan(ACK!which is Suzaku county? Kouto or Konan? ughhh bad memory!)
She crept past most of the guards until she got to the gate. There, she tried acting casual and kept up a fast pace. She was almost out when a guard pulled on her arm.
"And where are you going at this time of the day?"
"Um..the miko wants some things from the market and i was asked to go get them."
"There's everything she could want inside,and if not, we can get it for her. go b-ACK!"
Melissa punched one of them in the stomach and the other pulled at her disgiuse.
"Miko? what are you do-Ugh..."
That one also got beat up, but not before he yelled at all the guards that the miko had escaped.
"kuso..."
she cursed and ran for it. The city's lights and noises were heaven compared to the uptight and boring palace. Her eyes glittered at all the laughing people and the street lights.Without warning, a hand pulled her in before she even got a chance to scream.
"Hey girlie. This time you wont get away from us."
Two dark figures pulled her into an unseen street and then, all went dark.
**at the palace**
"T-The miko...hieka, she went out to the city. F-Forgive me please..."
The trembling and beat up guard laid his head on his knees as he bowed on the ground. Hotohori frowned and went to get Tasuki. He was sleeping and snoring very loudly and had a cursing fit when he was awoken. He was immediately awake when he heard about "the damn miko. cant take care o herself. probably fucking dead right now."
They dressed in casual clothes and went out to the city. Hotohori and Tasuki combed through every street and shop there was. They were losing time fast. Finally, Hotohori suggested that they split up and so they did. Tasuki took the west while Hotohori searched the east.
Tasuki ran around, asking people here and there if they had seen a girl wearing strange clothes.they all shook their heads,scared of the crazed man with a metal fan. He growled and started searching the dark alleys too.
**After about another 10 minutes**
He ran into the last street on his section, probably deserted. Tasuki heard signs of struggle and ran down the street. A strange sight beheld him.
Melissa was kicking at two men, whom were weilding knived but were apparently too afraid to go near the phyco girl holding a shoe and kicking at them, her hair flying everywhere. One got up the courage and went near. her leg came flying...out cold. The other started slicing the air but hit nothing, until...her leg was sliced and a huge gash appeared, glood gushing out. she started a string of cuss words, some that even Tasuki had not heard of.
He remembered that he had to save her and went over there. The man was trying to tie her up, was Melissa was having none of that. He finally hit her on the head and her head started bobbing forward and back. Tasuki tapped the man on the shoulder and the man turned around. It was a soldier.
"REKKA SHINEN!!!!!"
Tasuki had much pleasure flaming this soldier. Then, he remembered Melissa's state and ran over. She was bleeding in the leg and her head was still bobbing, eyes up and her tounge sticking out, for some reason.
"T-Tasuki?My leg hurts..."
was all she said before she passed out.
**in ...grace's place.ill tell u later**
Tomite woke up with a treamendos headache. Well, he was hurting all over, but mainly his head. He groaned as he saw Grace. Eating saltine crackers and drinking sprite, watching T.V. She looked over at him lazily.
"Oh. so you're up? got anything to say about my height NOW?"
Tomite groaned as memories of what happened before he passed out came back to him. Him and his big mouth...damnit.
Suboshi came out of his room, first peeking through a crack in the door. He plopped down on the couch. Grace grunted but said nothing.
"So...you wanna know where you are?"
"grunt."
"Ok...you're in Tokyo."
Grace spurted out a mouthful of sprite all over suboshi, who blinked and got a towel.
"I'M WHERE?!!!"
"in Tokyo."
" I CANNOT BE IN FUCKING TOKYO!!!!!! MY PARENTS ARE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS!!!!!!! NO FUCKING WAY thEY ARE GONNA LEMME COME HERE!!!!!"
"Thats ok. They believe that you are here on a trip you won from a writing contest."
"..."
"what?"
"they fucking BELIEVED THAT?!?!? I CANT WRiTE AT ALL!!!!!"
"well...Taiitsukan helped."
"who is that?"
"you want to meet her?"
"Uhhh hell why not?"
"Ok. ill follow you into the book and then you can meet her. im warning you though...be prepared for the worst."
"alright whatever. cant be worse than doing nothing."
Suboshi got the book from his room and Grace placed a finger on it, as if her hand just KNEW what to do. She screamed as she got sucked in. Suboshi sighed and turned to tomite before he too got sucked in.
"if you weren't injured...you owe me BIG!!!!"
Grace and Suboshi dropped into a large palace. There, a 'woman" looked up at htem.
"Taiitsukan. this is the tennyo.she wanted to meet you."
Taiitsukan looked at grace and sweatdropped.
Grace had started shaking and was muttering nonsense, her eye also twitching. she ran around in circles and waved her hands around in the air. Finally, she ran right into a wall and was knocked down, still laughing shrilly and eye still twitching. Taiitsukan looked up and started to float away.
"First the Byakko miko faints, then the Suzaku no miko starts screaming nonstop. And now when i thought that they were the worst, this "tennyo" comes along and goes mental on me. Teenagers this centry...no respect for their elders, and also the reason why in their world there are more phycologists than teachers."(maybe not true but hey! ^^)
