~*Chapter 5*~
Wednesday, June 20, 2001
I hung around with Hotohori and Nuriko outside while Miaka was getting apologies from the bandits inside about what happened. The whole time, I couldn't help but stare at Nuriko. He looked like a woman, but I knew he was a man! Guilt kept making me blush, and he would always ask what was wrong with me. 'I wish I could look into a mirror,' I thought. 'I forgot how I looked like.'
"Your clothes..." Nuriko said.
"Huh? What about them?" I asked, looking at my shirt and skirt.
"They're different. They look something like Miaka's," Nuriko answered, still looking at them.
"Believe it or not," I started. "I am from her world."
"You're from her world?" Hotohori repeated.
"Well, our world is the same as yours, but far more in the future," I explained. "During those years, everything has changed... a lot."
"So, where you two are from is from the future?" Nuriko asked.
"Yeah, I guess," I answered.
"Mima!" Genrou called. I heard his foot steps come to where the three of us were standing about.
"Is it time to go in?" I question.
"Yeah. Koji's already getting worried about you, too," Genrou said. "I think he gots the hots for ya."
I blushed. "No... no way..." He laughed and I followed him back to Koji's room with Hotohori and Nuriko going their own way.
"Where did you come from?" Genrou asked.
"Miaka's world..." I answered.
"Kidding me, right?"
"No." Then I began telling him the story of the library, being stranded in the desert, and being found by Koji. He listened to me rather well, unlike most guys at my school.
We reached the stronghold and I told him I'll go into Koji's room now. "Today was a day, and I'll calll it a night. See ya."
"Good night," he called to me. I opened the door and saw Koji walking around the room in a circle. He looked and saw me walk to the bed.
"Mima! I was worried," Koji admitted.
"I'm sorry to make you worry, Koji," I apologized. "It wasn't right of me."
"That doesn't matter anymore, because you're safe." Koji put his arms around my waist and he hugged me like there was no tomorrow. I began to blush like mad. I mean, I never experienced anything like that, and I felt weird. For me being a little eleven-year-old, I wouldn't know how to respond to such a hug like that.
"Koji?"
"Oh, sorry..." Koji let go of me and I could tell he was blushing. "Koji... crazy..." he mumbled.
"No, it's alright." I sat on my bed and searched through my backpack. There were clothes, brushes, makeup...aha! My binder and textbooks.
"What are those?" Koji sat next to me.
"This..." I pointed to my binder. "Is a book that I could write in. The other is something that I need to read from."
"Why do you need those?"
"So I could do my schoolwork." I opened my math book first, and looked at the problem:
-5x+2y=36
2x+2y=-6
"Okay, maybe I DON'T want to do my homework!" I said aloud, closing the books and looking at Koji. "So, what were you and Genrou saying to Miaka?"
"The fifth Suzaku guardian is Tasuki, and Tasuki was our former leader. Genrou said that he passed away."
'This is a story of a girl who gathered the Seven Guardians of Suzaku...' the line from the book went through my head again. I shook it away. "Would Miaka need all the guardians to summon her God?"
He shrugged. "I don't know, but tomorrow morning at dawn, we're all going to pay our respects to the former leader. Coming?"
"Yes."
Just like Koji told me last night, we went to pay our respects to Tasuki at dawn. I could sense that Miaka was mighty crushed that Tasuki was dead, since she needed all of the Seishi to summon Suzaku.
"Lord Hotohori, what should we do without Tasuki?" Nuriko asked, staring at the coffin Tasuki was laying in.
"But we can't revive a dead man," Hotohori mumbled.
"Hey, boss!" another bandit called.
"What is it?" Genrou asked, boss-like.
"I've heard something."
"And...?"
"In Chokou, to the north, there's someone who can raise the dead," the man answered.
Miaka's face lit up. "WHAT?! Mister, are you serous?"
"Well, it's just a rumor..." the man insisted.
"I don't care! I'm going to Chokou," Miaka decided.
"Miaka...!" Hotohori, Nuriko, and I said in unison.
"What? I'll cling onto even a one percent chance. But before all that..." Miaka started. "May I have a bowl of rice, please?"
Everyone fell over.
At sunset, Nuriko, Miaka, and Hotohori were getting their things together and ready to leave on the horses.
"Thanks for your hospitality, everyone!" Miaka called out. She waved at everyone, then set her eyes on me. Miaka walked to me. "What's your name?"
"Mima," I answered, feeling uneasy.
"Well, I noticed you around, of course... and I've known the fact that you were the only girl here until I came. Don't you want to come with me?"
I hesitated, but then grinned. "Is that an invitation?"
A smile crept onto her face. "Of course!"
I was about to graciously accept, but then I looked back at Genrou and Koji. They didn't seem to hear what Miaka was asking me. Well, atleast I don't think they did. I couldn't seem to leave Koji just now, after all the things he had done for me. And the night before... when he just embraced me... "I-I'm sorry. I have to refuse the offer."
The smile was swept away, and was replaced with a frown. "Oh... well..."
"But arigato gozaimasu for inviting me, Miaka!" I smiled. "Hey, maybe some time after Koji and Genrou taught me how to become a real Mt. Reikaku bandit, I'll visit you sometime at the..."
"The Konan Empire. The Emperor is letting us stay there."
"Sugoi!" I exclaimed. "Well, sayonara, Miaka." We gave each other a hug, and said our final good-bye's. Everyone watched them leave and ride off back into the woods, towards Chokou.
"They're gone," Genrou stated.
"That girl is either pure or just plain stupid," Koji shook his head in disappointment.
"She sure is kind, though," I defended.
"She messed up our ways of doing things. We totally forgot we were bandits!" Genrou complained.
"But that's o.k., now that you're leader, everyone's relieved," Koji said.
"You really wanted to go with them, didn't you, Genrou?" I suggested.
"Don't be such a moron, Mima. I'm the leader!" Genrou corrected. "I wouldn't go against our previous leader's will, and just leave. Above all else, I abhor women."
"Hey...! I'm a woman," I said.
"You're different," Genrou said. We all turned around and started to go back into the hideout. I followed Koji in, but I could sense Genrou was hesitating.
"Genrou?" I called.
"I'm-a coming," he assured me, and came walking in behind.
It was rather late a night, and after most of the bandits were asleep in bed. Koji, Genrou, and I were outside, just hanging out. We were all laughing, joking, and then started talking about Miaka and the gang.
"Genrou, you have to go with them," Koji said.
"But, if I do, who will be the Leader?" Genrou asked, taking a long drink from his sake.
"Why not Koji?" I suggested.
Koji practically choked on his sake. "What?! Are you insane, Mima?"
"Am not!" I declared. "I mean, it makes perfect sense."
"You got to admit, Koji. She's right," Genrou agreed with me, for once!
"See? Koji, you're someone Genrou could trust, right Genrou?" I looked over to him.
"Yeah," he agreed, again.
"But...ME?!" Koji exclaimed.
"Of course! I mean, it's like you guys have known each other all your lives," I said. "Come on, Koji. If you were leader, and had to go with Miaka, wouldn't you give the position to Genrou?"
Koji nodded.
"Ha! So that means, Koji rightfully has the position," I declared.
"Koji, take it. I'm going to Chokou," Genrou finished the rest of his sake and got up.
"You're really leaving us?" Koji got up, too.
"Yeah..." Genrou gave Koji a long hug, and look at me. "You coming?"
The question startled me and Koji. "Um... uh... you're inviting me?"
"No, I'm rejecting you so you could rot and get your fucking ass kicked. Duh, I'm inviting you."
"I-I..." I didn't know what to say. Koji was right there, and he seemed real upset.
"You should go, Mima," Koji suggested.
"But with all you've done for me... I can't just leave you now," I argued.
"This place is full of men, and you're fourteen..." Koji said. I practically fell over, and was about to burst out laughing. Fourteen? Com' on! I was seriously-and really-eleven. But if I look fourteen, sure! I'll buy it. Almost everyone back home said I didn't look at all my age. "...I think you should go, Mima."
"I don't have all night, you know," Genrou said impatiently.
I looked at Koji, and then at Genrou. After thinking hard, I finally made my decision. "Yes, I will go with you, Genrou."
"Great. Get your stuff and hurry."
