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;;;

!IMPORTANT NOTICE! IMPORTANT NOTICE!

If you've seen the whole series of FY, you probably know that I can't write a whole lot because they show barely anything about Chichiri and Tasuki, so some of these chapters are being really short. So, right now, everybody has the fever, but Mima being out of that world and not used to these kind of weather conditions, she has it the worst.
I should explain what's happening while everybody is in Sairo Country:
Miaka believes she was raped by Nakago, so she can't see Tamahome anymore. She feels as if she betrayed him. But when they finally find each other again, Miaka leaves once more, leaving Tamahome to try find her again. She then falls into a hole, being found by Amiboshi, a Seiryuu Seishi, Suboshi's twin! Amiboshi was the boy who pretended to be Chiriko a while back.
But Tomo, a Seiryuu Seishi, makes an illusion for Tamahome, having Soi appear to be Suzaku no Miko, Tamahome's lover, Miaka. But, when Tamahome refuses to have sex with Soi, who could bring down his chi and destroy him by using the Bochu Magic, Tomo steps in and decides to kill Tamahome himself.
Miaka and Amiboshi find Tamahome, and try to save him. But Tomo, being evil, decides to throw Tamahome over a cliff, to kill him, and ruin Miaka. And then Amiboshi is being held back from saving Miaka, for she is being surrounded in Tomo's illusion. In the illusion, Miaka is back home, falling in love with a boy in her class named Aono Tomo, who is Tomo's alter-ego. (Tomo has no make up. oO;; It's scary.) But Miaka keeps finding signs, like seeing the ogre symbol, and seeing the National Library, which is Tomo's mistake by making Aono live so close to it.
In Aono's home, they are about to make love, but Miaka remembers too much about the Shijin Tenchi Sho, and especially, Tamahome and Suzaku. Then Miaka gets back her common sense, and tells Aono he isn't the one she loves. So Aono tries raping Miaka, keeping her from summoning Suzaku.
Oh, yeah, another notice. ^^; The Taiitsukun Mima and Miaka saw in Chapter 23, that was also another illusion done by Tomo. So not being a virgin was a plain lie, and you really do have to be one to summon their animal god. The animal gods love virgins.

Enough of this information. On to the show!

~*Chapter 26*~
Sunday, August 4, 2002

I woke up back in the room. I had a fever, and I wasn't feeling my best at all.
The first person I saw was Chichiri. "Chichiri-sama," I said.
"You okay, no da?" he asked.
I felt hot all over, I was sweating, and I could hardly breathe. I was nearly in tears. "No, not really."
"We all don't feel too good, either, no da," Chichiri said. "But you being from Miaka's world and not so strong as us, you got it the worst, no da."
I sat up, but realized it hurt too much, so I laid back down. "I was feeling just fine earlier."
"There's something strange about this place, na no da," Chichiri put his hand on my cheek. "Something's not allowing me to use my magic, no da."
But just then, I felt a sting inside of me, causing me to collapse and slip down onto the floor, not being able to take this unfamiliar feeling.
"Mima!" Chichiri got down on his knees to catch me, keeping me from hitting the ground too hard. "What's the matter, no da?"
I struggled to catch my breath.
"Something's wrong with her," I heard Mitsukake say. "I can't use my magic to heal her, either."
"Mi...a...ka..." I mumbled.
"Nani? What did she say?" Tasuki asked, looking down at me.
"It hurts... it... hurts..." I started breathing heavily.
Chichiri helped me back up in my bad, drops of sweat dripping down the sides of his face.
"Mi...a...ka," I tried talking. "She's... in... trou..ble..."
"Nani?" Chichiri took off his mask to get a better look at me. I looked up at his face, and saw that a scar ran across his left eye, keeping it closed.
'Must have been horrible,' I thought. 'I wonder how he got it.'
"What's wrong with Miaka-san?" Chiriko asked.
"Can't you... feel her?" I asked. "She's... in so much..." I couldn't talk anymore. It took too much effort.
"Mima must feel her chi the most because they're from the same world, no da," Chichiri said.
I closed my eyes, but I felt somebody sit down next to me. A hand held my hand.
"Get to... Mi... aka... Let's go..." I opened my eyes and saw it was Tasuki who held my hand. I got up, and put on my Vans shoes. "One...gai..."
"Mima's right, no da. She's in trouble," Chichiri put his mask back on. "Hurry, let's get on our horses and find Miaka. Hurry!"
"Right," everybody agreed, while Tasuki helped me up.
We tried the best we could to hurry up and out of the hotel. I held everybody back, making me hate myself.
'Why is everyone holding back, on the account of me?' I thought. 'Miaka's more important. If they lose me, they still can do what they want, which is to summon Suzaku.'
We mounted the horses, and I wrapped my arms around Tasuki as tight as I could.
They kicked their horses, and the horses started to walk, and then run rather fast. Luckily, in maybe in half an hour, we found Miaka standing at the edge of the cliff, being held by a boy who looked like Amiboshi.
"There she is!" I exclaimed, surprised that my fever was gone! (AN: The Sairo Country they were at was an illusion done by Tomo.)
Everybody got off the horses, and ran up to them, when Tamahome appeared in front of us and blast a chi at Amiboshi, who was surprised.
"Suboshi! Long time no see," Tamahome exclaimed. "If you don't want to die right now, then you better let go of Miaka and get out of here."
"Shut your fucking face!" the boy who was Suboshi, Amiboshi's twin, shouted.
"Rekka Shinen!" Tasuki got out his tessen and had the blast of fire aim towards Suboshi, who jumped out of the way, letting Miaka, who was in her bra and underwear only, and Tamahome reunite. "If you don't wanna be ash, be nice. Can't let Tama be the only cool guy."
"Tasuki!" Miaka exclaimed.
"We were having the worst time, no da," Chichiri said.
"Chichiri! Mima! Chiriko, Mitsukake!" Miaka exclaimed, joy showing up on her face as she looked at us.
"So what'll it be, Suboshi?" Tamahome asked. Suboshi looked down at Amiboshi's body, who was lying on the ground, and picked him up. Then he ran away.
"Ah, running away again!" Tasuki exclaimed.
"No! Don't do anything!" Miaka shouted. "Amiboshi saved my life."
We watched as Tamahome and Miaka were being all lovey dovey, while the rest of us were all glum.
"We almost died, too," Tasuki said, flatly. "Please be pleased about it."
"That's good, that's good!" Tamahome said, trying to fulfill our wishes. "So quit with the disgusting faces."
And then Tamahome explained about Tomo, and all the illusions.
"Everyone was fooled by Tomo's illusions, na no da," Chichiri said.
"Even with a near fatal injury, I wouldn't leave you," Tamahome said.
"I'm glad to hear that, Tamahome," Miaka said, "but there's a strange old man gawking at us."
I looked at who she was talking about, and I fell over, sweat dropping. "Hentai!" I cried.
Tamahome kicked the old man and said, "Damn, you old fart!"
And then the old man got back at him by uppercutting Tamahome, and saying, "How dare you say that to your master!"
"Master?" Miaka replied.

Tamahome's master led us back to his home, and let us stay in a room. We all were very tired and exhausted after that fever and almost died from dehydration, so we drank gallons of water, and went to sleep. Tasuki, Chiriko, Mitsukake, Chichiri, and me, that is.
