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;;;

I'm not good with animal names. I don't know what these animals' habits are. o_O And you'll see why I mentioned this when you read further. ^^

~*Chapter 11*~
Sunday, July 21, 2002
I woke up when Miaka slid into the bed next to me. She seemed very happy because she was humming a joyful song. 'I guess Chichiri's spell did work after all,' I thought. 'She really is going to see Tamahome and bring him back.' I closed my eyes and fell back to sleep, listening to Miaka's humming.
I stood next to him and the Emperor, braiding my hair, watching everybody set up the ceremony.
"Preparations to summon Suzaku are underway, Hotohori," Nuriko stated.
"What happens when Miaka summons Suzaku?" I asked.
"She gets to grant three wishes," Hotohori answered, "Since all the seven guardians are gathered."
"I see," I said. I finished up my left braid and started on my right.
"If we get Tamahome and the Shijin Tenchi Sho back, things could not be better," Hotohori smiled at the thought. "Oh, by the way, how's Miaka?"
"Oh? I don't know," Nuriko answered.
"She's still sleeping," I added.
"I'll go check up on her," Nuriko turned and left. I followed him outside until we reached a set of stairs. I sat down on them, Chiriko sitting on the rail on the right side of me. Still being in Miaka's pajama bottoms and tank top made me feel like a dork, but ancient Chinese people wouldn't know the difference.
I looked at him. He was looking out on the court, thinking, looking as if he was being troubled.
"Chiriko," I said.
"Mm, yeah?" he looked at me. "You're Mima, right?"
"Hai," I answered.
"Why aren't you the Suzako no Miko? You look like you're from another world, just like Suzako no Miko."
"I really don't know. I'm trying to find that out."
He lifted up his flute and started to fiddle around with it.
"Oh, Chiriko, play me a song. I really miss home, and I love the music you play. It makes me feel relaxed."
"Sure thing, Miss." He lifted up his flute and started to play a melody. It sounded like a spring type of melody.
I tied up my braids with two of Miaka's spare ribbons, and sat back and listened to it, closing my eyes and enjoying how it just relaxed me. I heard somebody come and sit next to me. I opened my eyes, and saw it was Chichiri. He smiled at me, and I smiled back, and I went back to listening to Chiriko's music.
"Mima, Chiriko, Chichiri!" Nuriko called out. "Come!"
"Where the hell are we going, Nuriko?" I asked. Chiriko's music stopped, and the monk stood up.
"Miaka's going to get Tamahome back and we're wishing her good luck. She needs all the luck she can get," Nuriko replied. We all followed him to a room and met up with Mitsukake, Tasuki, and Hotohori.
"Take care of yourself, Miaka," Hotohori said.
"Uh-huh!" Miaka smiled.
"Can't we accompany her?" Chiriko suggested.
"Yeah, I mean, the more there are, the more to gang up on those guards over there," I said, grinning.
"Oh, can they?" Miaka asked.
"Less people is better, they have a barrier, no da," Chichiri answered, being Mr. Know-It-All. "Even if my chi is down... I'm sure the shichiseishis of Seiryuu can pick it up."
"I'll go," Genrou suggested. Well, more of a statement instead of a suggestion.
"Tasuki," Miaka said.
"I want to meet this Tamahome guy," Genrou explained.
"No way!" Miaka explained. "Didn't you hear right?" She put her hands on her hips.
"Ooh...!" Genrou got out Niku Manju and held it up and started shaking his head in a worried state. "What will I ever do with this delicious Niku Manju? And here, I wanted to give it to you."
Miaka grabbed Chichiri by his collar. "That poor thing, Chichiri! We'd BETTER take him!"
"O...o...okay," Chichiri agreed, scared.
"All right, then!" Genrou put a fist in the air, then looked down, and saw Miaka eating the Niku Manju!
I couldn't help but laugh.
"H-hey! Don't scarf up my arm!" Genrou complained.
Chichiri laid out his cape (?) thing, and told Miaka and Genrou to get on. He put his staff in the senter and a huge light covered the cape (?). Genrou began falling in, and Miaka promised she'll get Tamahome back.
Nuriko said, "Be careful! Watch yourself."
We watched Miaka disappear, and then Chichiri jumped in saying "Daaa!" and we watched the cape disappear in all.
"What... magic!" I exclaimed, amazed.
"I hope they'll be alright," Nuriko whispered.
"A hot bath was such a great idea..." I laid back in the tub, letting the water relax me. My hair, which were still in braids, were put up. I grabbed the sponge and started scrubbing my legs, arms, etc., etc.
I got out of the tub and started drying myself off. As I went to rub my legs with my towel, I noticed something red glowing on my right hip. I looked closer at it, and it was the sign of the word "animal."
I was so surprised, and scared, that I screamed like hell.
"Oh, my God! Oh, my God!" I kept panting and fanning myself with my hands. I already had my towel wrapped around me by the time Nuriko and Chiriko came in, seeing what was wrong with me.
"Mima, what's the matter?" Chiriko asked.
"My... my... Sign... hip...!" I couldn't finish my sentence.
"Spit it out!" Nuriko smacked my head.
"There's a sign on my hip!" I cried out. "And it glows!"
"What? Where?" Nuriko exclaimed. "Let me see!"
I revealed the sign on my hip, and yet, it was still glowing.
"Eek!" Chiriko blushed with wide eyes, and turned away.
"Chiriko, just look. I'm confused on this one," I said, embarressed myself.
"It says 'Animal,'" Nuriko said.
"Animal? Whoa," Chiriko gasped.
"What does it mean?" I asked.
"You're the animal guardian of Suzaku no Miko," Chiriko answered.
"Animal guardian?" I repeated.
"Hai. You see... I heard somewhere that each Priestess has an animal guardian," Chiriko explained. "That animal guardian can be from another world or one of the seishis. Genbu and Byakko's animal guardians were among the seishis."
I looked at Nuriko. "That's probably the reason why I'm here. But why hasn't the sign-" I stopped talking when I had a feeling that Miaka, Tasuki, and Chichiri were in trouble.
"Nani?" Nuriko asked.
I put my hand on Chiriko's shoulder. "What does an animal guardian do?"
"If they're human, they can turn into any animal that exists just by thinking of what they look like and knowing their name. If they're already an animal, they can't transform into anything," Chiriko explained.
"I'll be back," I ran out of the room, and pretty much out of Konan Palace. I thought of a hawk, and all its features. I could feel myself getting lighter, and smaller. My vision became even sharper, and soon, I could feel myself take flight.
The feeling of being in the air, flying, was such a wonder! It's like when you are on a rollercoaster, upside down, and you feel like you're going to fall off and that tingly feeling is in your legs.
I peered down over the city of Konan. The streets were empty since it was late at night.
'I can sense Chichiri's chi,' I thought. Now I understood how they could sense each other's chi. It's like a strong power that you feel inside of you, and you can identify whose it is.
I followed the chi, flying as hard and as fast as I could. Pretty soon, I could feel his chi gettin stronger and I knew that I was in Kutou, close to the Empire.
I flew overhead, and spotted Miaka, Tasuki, and Chichiri being surrounded by a bunch of guards, and a girl who wore the same uniform as I do at school back at home. She looked exactly like the girl in my dream.
I landed somewhere far off, and then thought of a white tiger. My body began to feel heavy, and my vision got less sharp, but still sharper than my normal eyesight. My hearing and sense of smell grew keen, and before I knew it, I was finally in the body of a white tiger.
'God, this is going to be hard,' I thought. I stayed low behind the bushes until I was close enough to jump ontop of that tree Miaka was standing under.
'One...two...three!' I thought, then jumped and tried pulling my heavy body onto the tree and then onto a branch.
"What the...!?" Genrou exclaimed, looking above. Mitsukake's cat hissed at me.
I jumped down from the branch and landed right in front of everyone, looking into the eyes of each and every soldier, including the girl and the man with blonde hair and blue eyes. (I still have the color eyesight.) They all seemed to be startled.
"Nakago! What should we do?" one of the guards exclaimed.
The man with blonde hair, which I assumed was Nakago, said, "Nothing. It's just the animal guardian of Suzaku no Miko."
I growled at them, then roared as fierce as I could. The guards were shaken.
Nakago put his hand at me, and a blue chi ball was formed. It blasted at me, and I was thrown against the tree.
"Watch out!" I heard Chichiri cry out.
My body ached while I slid down onto the ground. I couldn't remember anything else, because everything went black.
