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 18*~

"Look at that!" Mitsukake pointed at the boulder that was looming overhead in front of us. It seemed to be breaking apart. We passed through the middle of it, and the skies began to brighten.
"That's Hokkan Country!" Chiriko exclaimed.
"We made it!" I cheered, clinging onto Tasuki.
"Stop clinging onto me like that!" he complained, peeling me off.
"That's great! Now we can get into Hokkan Country all the faster!" Miaka said. "We've finally arrived. Genbu's territory, where the Shinzaho is." We got off the ship and collected our things to take with us.
Miaka lead us the way, but stopped right before a huge field. Her jaw dropped, and she exclaimed, "A huge valley! Awesome... all those sheep!"
"Nevermind that, this place's freezing," Nuriko rubbed his arms. "Tasuki, make fire with that tessen of yours."
"Dumb shit! It's not for trivial stuff!" Tasuki bopped Nuriko.
"So, how do we find our destination?" Mitsukake asked.
"This country's three times the size of Konan," Chichiri said.
"No shit, Captain Obvious," I said, looking over the huge valley.
"Three times?!" Tamahome exclaimed. "How're we supposed to find the Shinzaho under those circumstances?" By then, we heard a kid crying. I looked where it was coming from, and a little boy was being carried off by a horse. The horse was out of the kid's commands, and was running full speed, out of control. "That's not good! He'll fall!" Tamahome ran and grabbed the kid off the horse.
"Tamahome!" Nuriko, Tasuki, Miaka, and I shrieked. The horse trampled over Tamahome, sending him into dizziness.
"T-Tamahome!" Miaka cried. "Are you... still alive?"
Tamahome got off of the little boy, all dazed and bruised.
"Oniichan, are you okay?" the boy asked.
"Just fine, just fine," Tamahome assured.
"Oh, you helped my son," the mother of the boy Tamahome saved looked very happy and relieved. "What can I do to thank you?"
"Fifty gold ryou!" Tamahome quickly said, but got smacked by Miaka and I.
"If possible," Chichiri suggested, politely, "Could we stay the night here?"
The mother hugged her son, smiling, "Please feel welcome to stay. I love hearing about foreign countries. I'll take care of you."
She served us some food, and Miaka took one bite out of it, and loved it. "It's good! Just like yogurt!" She exclaimed.
"Their diet is very different. This is mutton," Nuriko said, liking it, too.
A man stuck his head into the room. "Travelers, the chief has come."
"Yes, sir," Miaka said. We all put down the food and entered the other room. We were greeted by an old, old man with a long, long white beard.
"I'm the chief of the To Tribe, Tomoru," he said as we all sat down.
"P-pleased," Miaka stuttered.
"Heard you came from Konan to search for the Shinzaho," the chief said.
"Yes, correct. Do you know any details about it?" Miaka asked.
"Just a legend from my grandfather."
I sweat dropped, staring at the man. 'His grandfather!?' I thought. 'He looks so damn old! Seems like he's the grandfather of himself!'
"Two hundred years ago, Genbu no Miko, from another world, came to Hokkan country," he began telling his story. "At the time, Kutou was strong militarily and trying to take over this country. But because of the Miko, animal guardian, and her seven Seishi, Hokkan Country was protected."
I could tell a lot was going on in Miaka's mind. I decided that I'd ask her about it later. 'Genbu no Miko and Genbu's seishi already have come and gone, huh?' I thought, deeply. 'And her animal guardian? Interesting. In this world, this happened over two hundred years ago. That means somebody already have opened this book long before Miaka and Yui did. Funny.'
"You mean that Miko called the animal god, Genbu?" Nuriko asked.
"It means that," the chief answered. "Then Genbu made a treasure, the Shinzaho that's now buried."
"Huh?" the man that was sitting beside the old man interrupted. "You're not right, Chief. I heard the Shinzaho was sealed in the Orb of Genbu."
"What?" the old man snapped.
"No, I'm sure," the man continued. "Genbu no Miko gave the Seishi supernatural powers. My mother's cousin said so."
"You're saying my grandfather lied?!" the chief challenged.
"I'm sure the Shinzaho is part of Genbu's shell," the man said.
The other man sitting on the other side said, "That's different than what you said before!"
"In any case, if you go to Toran in Chugoku you'll see where the Shinzaho is," the chief continued.
"Can I ask one question?" Tamahome asked. "After Genbu no Miko called her God, did she return to her world?"
'...Are Miaka and I going to return to our world?' I added in my mind.
"Everyone says so, but I'm not sure," the chief answered.
"Is that right?" Tamahome said.
'I know what you're getting at,' I thought. 'You and Miaka are in love, and you don't want her to leave you here in this world.'
That night, I climbed into the bed I was sharing with Nuriko. Everything was troubling me so much, it was driving me mad!
"Nuriko," I whispered, since everybody else were asleep.
"Mm... what do you want?" Nuriko mumbled, half-asleep.
"Everybody is wondering what will happen to Miaka when she summons Suzaku. But I'm from the same place she is... what will happen to me?!" I complained, but Nuriko didn't answer. His snoring did.
I sighed and tried falling asleep, but only hours later, that I did. Thoughts of where I was going to go troubled me.
