~*Chapter 3*~
Monday, June 18, 2001

There was a knock at the door. "Permission to enter your room, sir."
"Permission rejected. What do you want?" Koji let go of me and waited for an answer.
'I guess he doesn't want anyone seeing me in his room,' I thought.
"There are three woman trespassers. One of them will be sent to Eiken, the other two will serve the men."
"Let me guess; You want me to bring the girl to Eiken?"
"Yes. Eiken will only grant your permission."
"Fine. I will." Koji let out a sigh. "Wait out there for me so you could lead me to where they are." He faced me. "You coming?"
I shrugged. "Why not? I don't want to be cooped up in your room. I wanna explore!"
He grinned. "Alright. Follow me."
We walked out of his room, and was greeted by a man probably in his early forty's. He looked rather friendly, but a bit fat and looked as if he hadn't shaved for months. The man lead the two of us through the hallways and to a group of men and a girl in front of them. Koji and I pushed through our way onto the front. I looked at the girl, and she seemed to be shaking and looking real scared. To my surprise, she was familiar. Then it hit me. She was Miaka! One of the girls who was in the restricted area of the library! "You!"
She looked at me, still shaking. Nervousness and fear were shown in her big eyes. "What..?"
"It's you! You're-!" I was cut off by Koji's meaningless jabber.
"Excuse me, please. Who's there? I have the boss's orders to bring one of the females," Koji began. I had a sweat drop, and the girl looked at him strangely. Koji had a weird face on as well. "It's Koji. You're welcome. Please come in. Thank you so much." He pushed open the doors.
We were all greeted by a nasty, twisted fat man drinking sake. He must've been the most ugliest thing I've ever seen! I guessed he must be Eiken. Never would I have thought he was fat! I expected a tall, sexy man. This poor girl is going to go through some serious Hell. "Oh, Koji! I've been waiting for ya."
By this time, even I was shaking. This guy was as ugly as Hell, and he made the room smell like a camel's ass. Miaka's face turned pale, and so did mine.
"Hang in there," I heard Koji comfort Miaka. A bit of jealousy was inside of me. But why was I?
"K-Koji, are you really going to have this girl...?" I began to ask, looking away from the fat man's face.
"Yes," he answered coldly.
Eiken was checking out Miaka rather slowly, stopping to stare at certain places that I shouldn't name. Miaka was shaking and squealing. God, this guy was making me sick! He made the peace sign, and said, "She passes!"
"But I don't WANT to pass!" she cried out. I was surprised by her voice. She looked about fifteen and she sounded like an eleven year old.
"I guess we're out of here," Koji announced, turning to leave.
"Wh-what?! Oh, don't leave so soon! Please...?" Miaka pleaded. "Don't leeaave!"
"Koji!" Eiken called out.
Koji turned around while the other men left. "Yes?"
"What about that girl?" Eiken pointed to me, and I squealed.
I noticed Miaka was looking at me, too. She must've been marveled at my appearance since I was wearing the same clothes people wear in the future.
"What about her?" Koji's voice sounded angry and irritated by now. I looked at him, and he looked as if he didn't wanted to be messed with.
"She can join us." Eiken checked me out, too. My knees became wobbly and I felt like rubber. I wanted to cry.
"You leave this girl alone."
A wave of joy swept over my face. "Koji..." But then, I felt sorry for Miaka.
"Too bad." Eiken paid his attention to Miaka.
I ran to catch up with Koji since he was walking rather fast. I closed the doors behind me, but then I heard some screaming from the girl.
"No! No! Don't get near me! NOOO!" Miaka wailed.
I lowered my head in disgust. "Koji, I can't believe you're gonna leave that girl in there to be raped."
"If I don't do my job, Eiken will have my head," Koji replied. "He has the power, and I don't. What a worthless bastard..."
"And what the hell is this 'power' you speak of?"
"It's an iron fan, called a tessen. If you say two certain words, fire would come from it. It takes lots of concentration to fulfill other powers, which Eiken doesn't know of."
"So you're afraid of a stupid fan?"
Koji just didn't say anything, so I followed him to another room. He opened the doors, and I gasped. Men were piled under a table, with a woman sitting on top of it. She had long purple hair in a braid, and her legs were crossed, hands on hips.
"What the...? Y-you! What's going on here?" Koji's face was in shock. Just then, I saw a woman come up next to Koji and a sword was put to his neck.
"K-Koji!" I cried.
"Miaka is...WHERE?" the woman demanded. She was gorgeous, and had long brown hair, amazing green eyes, and was quite...muscular. Something was wrong with that picture, then I figured out she was a man!

Koji lead all of us back to Eiken's room. We heard some screaming from Miaka, and I saw the brown-haired man look away with frustration. 'He must be in love with Miaka,' I thought. Then I heard a banging sound on a wall. I looked to where the purple haired girl was standing, and saw that she was punching the wall. The wall already was dented. She made another hard blow and this time, she busted the wall and made a huge hole.
"What power!" Koji exclaimed, amazed by her strength. She just flexed her arms, smirking. I looked at Eiken, and saw that chunk of the wall hit him in the head and he fell over, then Miaka got up.
"Nuriko!" she exclaimed. I look at the girl, and I figured that she must be Nuriko. I watched from afar as Miaka ran into the man's arms, exclaiming 'Hotohori'. Smiling at the thought of them being a couple, I thought about me falling in love with someone, and how lovely it would be.
Eiken got up, rubbing his head. But then Hotohori pointed his sword at his nose. "This girl is Suzaku no Miko. You touched her, and the punishment is death." I gasped when Hotohori said that Miaka was Suzaku no Miko.
'Now I know who Suzaku no Miko is... but what was the point of me coming here?' I thought. 'Was I a mistake, just by coming?' I kept thinking like that for awhile until there was another crash through the wall. Standing by Koji, we were both shocked. I heard him mumble something, but I couldn't figure what. We stared at the person who stood there. The man was tall, and had amazing orange hair.
"I-I didn't know you'd come back!" Eiken exclaimed.
"Long time no see, Eiken..." the mysterious man said. He had such an amazing voice. It was deep, smooth, and sexy. "Trip's over, and I'm back. And I see that you made yourself Leader while I was away. You're SO butt ugly. And you've married? That's just way too much to believe."
"Wh-what?! You're wrong! I'm not his wife!" Miaka objected. "You're crazy!"
"Well, you're mine now."
"I won't allow it!" Hotohori charged at the man.
"Genjitsu Shinzarou!" the man recited. He threw paper, and then all of a sudden some wolves appeared. The wolves attacked Hotohori, Nuriko, and Eiken. I was in such shock, I didn't realize that wolf was running towards me as well!
"Mima! Look out!" Koji cried.
"Nani?!" I tried dodging the wolf, but I was frozen. Then I saw Koji jump in the way, having the wolf attack him instead. "Koji!"
"Don't worry. It's just one of Genrou's tricks." Koji struggled to get away from the wolf, but he just pulled out a knife and shoved it into the wolf's neck.
"No!" I couldn't bare to see that happen, but to my surprise, the wolf turned into paper. I stared at it. "Paper...?" Then I noticed the man getting away with Miaka. He seemed to be laughing evilly after saying something. "Hotohori, Nuriko!"
"N-nani...?" Nuriko struggled to say.
"I'll get Miaka for you!" I announced.
"Mima, you don't know where he's going!" Koji warned.
"I'll follow." I took after the man who had Miaka. I chased after him through trees, over a river, and up a hill. I heard Miaka yelling at him to let her go, but he just ignored her. She pounded on him, but he ignored that, too. I felt a branch slash at my face, right below my right eye. I made a yelp. "Mi...a...ka..." It was intense pain when I felt the branch slash deep into my skin. "Fuck.... shit... damnit..." I grumbled. I didn't stop to feel it or see how much blood was pouring out, I just kept on running.
The chase came to a stop as he walked up the steps to a small...house?... up ahead. I hid behind some bushes until they disappeared into the house. "Great... first I have a deep gash in my thigh, and now my face? This is just my lucky day." I ran up the steps and put my ear against the door to listen in on anything. I heard some talking from the guy, and then him yelling out "Ouch!" Miaka jabbered on about something, and then they began talking. I grew tired of eavesdropping, so I turned to leave when I saw Koji standing right in front of me. "They're just talking."
He nodded. "Genrou wouldn't do such a thing anyway. He'd probably just kiss her then tell her he was just kidding."
"Is Genrou that guy who busted in like that earlier? Ya know, the guy with the red hair and the paper wolves?"
Koji nodded again. "He knows lots of incantations." Koji knocked on the door while saying his usual jibberish. "Good evening. Who's there? Why, it's just Koji the magnificent! Oh, Koji! You're welcome. Please come in. Thank you." He opened the door.
"K-Koji!" Genrou exclaimed. Then, in a flash, they were arm-in-arm, dancing in a circle. "Long time no see, Koji!"
I raised my eyebrow. "What the hell are these guys?"
