Ch.4
As they ate, they were sizing each other up, now in a friendly way unlike when she first saw him. 'He's very friendly once you get to know him, and not to bad looking either.'she thought smirking to herself.
Genrou was thinking about her too 'she is a tough chick! We need a girl like her on our side. Once she is done training all the other women we can start having better raids and we don't have to except outsiders anymore. My plan is great!'he thought with pride.
Alice, having different thoughts, misinterpreted the smile that he had shot at her 'does he like me too! Wow!' she thought smiling to herself. Then she looked closer and saw his cannies 'Shit! Does he sharpen them like that? Damn!' she thought about it for a while until he started talking to her
"Hey! I was wondering what you were doing when we captured you?" he asked her, tring to make small talk, not realizing how big it was.
'I can't tell him about the book, I mean he lives in it!' thought Alice "My friend and I were outside taking a walk and then she disappeared and then you captured me." she said not pressing to hard on what happened. "Oh, yeah, my name is Alice, and you are Genrou right?"
"Yeah, and nice to meet you Alice." genrou said kindly. 'She is tough, but can be nice. That's good.'
" Was that my room that I was in? And if it is I want my bag so I can settle in."
She said firmly letting him and anyone know that she wasn't messing around.
"Yeah, it is. I'll help you get your bag, no one messed with it" he said, getting up and walking to the place were her bag was. When she followed, there were eyes on her, she wondered why. Genrou knew, they thought that he had had his way with her and she was the only woman they had seen in a while 'I better talk to her about that'. When they got to the room were her bag was Genrou said after closing the door "Look, I don't want them to get to you so don't go anywhere without me, ok?" he said while looking for her bags.
"I can take care of myself and if not I'll scream,ok?" she said helping out in looking for her stuff. "What is all this stuff any ways?"
"It's stuff we stole. And here ya go" he said handing her all of her stuff. "Feel free to take any thing that you like."
"Really? I can have these?" she said pointing to a scroll, a few elegant silk kimono and a pair of soft red shoes. After he nodded she yelled "Yay!"
"Ok. I'll help you settle in." he said showing her to her room. He helped her put things away and set the furniture the way she wanted. When they were done he asked "What are all those things you have and the books were did they come from?"
"Genrou, can you keep a secret?" he nodded " me and my friend, Monique aren't from this world, we were transported here through some portal and brought here. In fact I believe that this is a similar world but a bit in the past"she aid the words just falling from her mouth.
"Oh, Suzaku..." he mumbled
"Huh? What's a suzukuie?" she said showing the baka side of her. "Oh! Suzaku, the bird I read about in the incantation?"
"Suzaku is our god, in konan, land of the south." he said. Then he thought for a second and said "and you are the suzaku no miko, the woman who will raise suzaku with the seven stars of suzaku!"
Then she thought'This is the story of a girl, who made her dreams come true
after she came to possess the seven stars of Suzaku,
and many powers were bestowed upon her.
The story itself is an spell. The one who reads it
through will be given the powers and granted
a wish like the girl in the story.
Because... the story begins and becomes real...
The moment the first page is turned.'
"So that's what it was talking about! How do you know any ways?"she thought out loud.
"~ I ~ just happen to be a star, or seishi of suzaku!" he said pompously while pulling down his jacket sleeve and showing a red kanji symbol. She got closer and read 'wing'.
"Wow! What does it do?" she asked skeptically
"'it' gives me the power to be faster then any one and I can shot fire from my tessen"he said in a 'holier than thou' voice(of corse, he is!). " and I get it all for the privilege to protect a certain miko"
"Me? Why would you need to protect me?"she asked
"There are four gods in this world, and each is for each of the countries is a god. And Seiryu ( which is cool!), of the east, is an enemy of konan, therefore killing our only miko is a good plan for them."he said in a 'mater-of-factly' voice.
"I have so much to learn!" she shouted
