None of the Fushigi Yuugi characters belong to me, but is rightfully owned by Watase Yuu. Only does the character Mima belong to me. And Mima would resemble me... I rather keep the same storyline. So don't sue me or anything if there's anything in here that you do NOT like. O.o;;;;; And I'd like to recieve reviews! ^_^ But no flames... @.x;;;

~*Chapter 1*~
Sunday, June 17, 2001
It was a rather hot day in February, and that was pretty odd for everyone in Tokyo. I was just thankful that I wore a tanktop and mini skirt that day. Man, was I craving for a Snicker bar and a bottle of Gatorade! Besides, I just came back from school, and the night before I spent the night at my friend's house. So I had lots of belongings in my backpack.
"But first, I need to drop off this book..." I peered down at the Danielle Steel book I held in my right hand, regretting that borrowed it in the first place. It only meant that I had to be on my feet twice as long as I should be if I were going straight home, without any stops.
I began running towards the National Library, but probably looking hilareous since I can't run very well with something on my back. Glancing at my watch, I found out it was around 4:45 PM. "Ah, shit. The library closes at 5:00..." The book was four days overdue, and I can't afford to pay a five day one! I felt ashamed that I was such a tardy person.
Luckily, the library was only a minute away. I burst through the doors, and went to the front desk and handed the librarian the book, along with some money. After she gave my change back, I stared into my wallet and discovered that I only had little money left. I eyed a vending machine that had snacks and some drinks in it, so I started walking towards it. The vending machine was in a small little hallway, and the end of the hallway was a flight of stairs leading to a door.
I put a couple of coins into the machine, recieving the Snicker bar and cherry Gatorade I wanted. Just before I was to open the bottle and take a sip, I heard the door that was on top of the stairs shut. I stared at the door for quite some time until I noticed a red, shimmering feather just sitting on one of the steps. Startled-but amazed-by its beauty, I had to keep it. So I started up the steps, when I heard some voices behind the door. I picked up the feather, then went up to the door. The sign read:
Important Documents Reference Room
Employees Only
"'Employees Only' my ass!" I exclaimed, then slowly opened the door. I saw two girls wearing Jr. High uniforms whispering and looking at a book. Luckily, I could hear what they were saying after I tip-toed towards them and stood behind some book cases.
"'Shi Jin Tenchi Sho'?" a girl, who had short blonde hair and bright blue eyes, said. I assumed that that was the title of the book.
"What's that?" the other girl, who had brown hair tied into two seperate buns, asked.
"It's a Chinese novel."
"Chinese...?"
"'Thus, the girl of the legend opened the door of another world.'"
"Wow, Yui-chan! I didn't know you could read Ancient Chinese writing." The brown-haired girl stared at the pages for awhile, then she looked surprise. She pointed at the page. "T-that's the bird that I saw!"
"Don't be dumb, Miaka. Why would a bird be flying around in the library?" the girl I assume is Yui, said.
"But, I swear...!"
"'This is a story of a girl who gathered the Seven Guardians of Suzaku,'" Yui read on. "'She obtained omnipotent power, and made every wish come true. The story itself is an incantation, and whoever finishes reading it shall recieve this power. As soon as the page is turned, the story will become the truth and begin.'"
'Wow, what a weird story,' I thought, desperate to hear more from the book.
"What is that supposed to mean?" the other girl named Miaka pondered. There was a pause, then suddenly the room was lit up with a strange red light. The two girls screamed, and I caught myself shrieking as well.
I was trapped and surrounded in red. I heard the call of a bird, but I can't remember much more for I landed hard on something and everything was dark.
"Ah, shit..." I moaned as I felt pain all throughout my body. I could feel the heat on my face, arms, and legs. 'Try moving,' I thought, and I did so. Well, at least I was able to move myself. I struggled to stand up and I noticed blood trickling down from the side of my thigh. A blood stain began to appear on my skirt. Lifting up my skirt, I noticed a deep gash as long as a pencil. Blood was oozing out rather fast. "Yuck..." I sat back down and opened my backpack to find my scarf that I wore the other day. I tied it around my thigh tightly and got back up. "How the hell did-" I began to say when I started to look at my surroundings. "Oh... my... God..." I whispered. Everything around me was...sand. I was in a desert. No longer was I in Tokyo, in the National Library. I was stranded in a desert, no sign of life anywhere. "Where the hell am I...?" I couldn't help it. I probably stood there for at least ten minutes when I noticed a mountain up ahead. It occured to me that I should start running towards it. "No use of standing here and pray someone will find you." I took off my fancy sandals and slipped on a pair of socks I had not yet used, and put on my tennis shoes for gym. I found the candy bar and the Gatorade bottle and I hastily shoved it in my backpack. "Here we go!" And I started running.
Funny that I hated running, but at that moment I had an urge to run. To run as fast as ever, and never wanting to stop. My backpack slowed me down a bit, but I could tell I went a rather long distance.
I became tired and exhausted, so I stopped for a short moment. I opened my backpack to get that bottle of gatorade, and luckily I found it. After drinking maybe a fifth of the bottle, and began my journey again. It was rather humid and I could feel sweat pouring down the sides of my face. I've been running probably for about four and a half hours, having quick rests and making sure that I won't stall for too long. Maybe I've been running for so long, that I didn't notice the sky was getting darker until my eighth rest. By that time, my stomach began to growl and I only had half a bottle of my gatorade left. I decided to eat a little of my candy bar and eat the rest until I find civilization, or atleast an animal to keep me company.
The sky finally became dark, and the air became cool and chilly. It felt good on my skin since I was being baked the whole day. It was maybe seven or eight o' clock, and my body became tired and sore from my day's worth of running. I decided to put on my gym sweats and my 'Don't worry. I won't set your house on fire like last time' sweater on. The ground turned from sand into rather solid dirt.
I set my backpack on the ground as a substitute for a pillow and, after some thinking of the people back home, I fell asleep.
