1 Beyond Your Smiles Are Tears
Chapter 1: Heroic Deeds
~*~
~flashback~
The clear horizon enlightened by the bright, burning sun suddenly turned dark and tiny drops of rain poured down vertically. The raindrops pierced through my skin like tiny needles. Then the sky became darker, clouds became heavier and the rain worsened. A mixture of confusion and anxiety filled in everybody's face when they realized what was occurring. I began to panic as the waves of the sea became enormous and started to crash into the sides of the boat with full force. Things weren't easy as they should be.
After doing some safety preparations, I heard the shout of other seishis as Tasuki-san fell into the hazardous waters. I was frightened at the sight, knowing that he can't swim. Then, our miko suddenly jumped out of the boat and dived into the sea before Tasuki-san was *captured* by the gigantic wave. Of course, Miaka-san can't do it all alone. Then, apparently, Tamahome-san did the same and swam swiftly to his koibito and companion. "Baka yaro!" I heard him shout.
Then, after some moments of struggling, the red-haired seishi was saved, but Miaka-san and Tamahome-san were still trapped in the raging sea. We were still terrified for the condition of the two, but the sight that brought us to the edge was when he jumped.
Nuriko-san jumped, in attempt of saving the miko and our companion. Yet, fate seemed to play a little more trick to us. When he paved his way to the two, an immense wave suddenly appeared above them and enveloped them. The rain still poured heavily and the fog made our vision blurred.
We can't see any sight of them.
Tears stung my eyes and threatened to fall, anytime. I then heard Tasuki- san screamed. His scream was full of guilt, and tears flowed down to his cheeks. "It's all my damn, fucking fault!!!" He shouted. Chichiri-san walked towards him and said, "Tasuki, it was not your fault, no da. Let's just hope for their safety. I know that a single wave can't get them, can it, no da?"
Ah, Chichiri-san. Always full of hope and encouragement, ne? Then I put my hands up to my chest and prayed to Suzaku-sama that they may be safe. And that we may see them, soon.
Very soon.
Time had passed. Then, as if the heavens heard my prayer: They surfaced!
I was washed over by relief and thanked Suzaku-sama they were safe. We helped them get in the boat and asked them if they were all right. They said, "Hai. Daijobou desu." Nuriko-san even smiled for assurance. Their clothes were soaked with water, so as their entire bodies. The three of them panted heavily, their breathing was ragged and sat almost immediately because of exhaustion.
Yet, it looked like the girl-like seishi was the most exhausted, as if he was forced to finish some heavy load for the day. I even saw Miaka-san thanked him for what he done...and I noticed that she /blushed/.
Perhaps, it was really an excellent job he made. Then he stared at his bracelets as if there was something going on there that he can't comprehend. Still, we knew, I knew that he accomplished something, that he did something… /noble/.
~end, flashback~
Ah, Nuriko-san. You're so mysterious, ne?
I again opened my eyes and saw nothing but darkness. The part where Miaka- san thanked you and the way she blushed was deeply etched in my mind. The way you stared at your bracelets beheld so much mystery. Did something happen that we did not witness? Well, maybe something did. Still, that memory created one question that made me want to ask you.
Indeed, you're a great and noble warrior.
Demo… are you also like that, /inside/?

end, chapter 1
~tbc~
a/n:: whew… just some clarifications regarding the flashback part. Undoubtedly, it happened on the way to Hokkan , right? The flashback of events that occurred may not be /that/ accurate, for I cannot clearly remember what exact details took place, and since this is fiction… I have some right to add some twists, ne? So don't flame me onegai… another…You may wonder why the flashback part may not be as action packed as it was supposed to be. Remember that it's Chiriko's pov we are dealing with. And a child's perception is totally different from that of an adult, ne? That's why several clichés were present. Anywayz, please review!!! Chapter 2, coming up!!! ^_^x
ja!!
