Diclaimer: *screaming at no one* I DON'T OWN FUSHIGI YUUGI! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE! *gets taken away by men in clean white coats* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

Suki looked around. There sure were a lot of Nyan-Nyans dancing. Kyra was dancing with one of them, making her laugh at the idea each time. But she didn't have anyone to dance with. Tamahome was with Miaka, Nuriko was busy somewhere, Hotohori was looking at himself in the mirrors, Chichiri had gone to get Carrie, Tasuki had gotten into his sake stash again, and Mitsukake was way too tall for her. As for Chiriko, who knew? She hadn't seem him since they went to their rooms.

"Why don't you dance?" Kyra asked as she twirled by, the Nyan-Nyan giggling. "It's fun."

"Um, no."

"Aw, why not, my five-foot friend? The Nyan-Nyans are your perfect size!"

She spun away from the slap that had come her way.

"Well, if not with them, why not Chiriko?"

Suki looked around. "Where is he?"

"Over there by Mitsukake. He looks lonely."

"Well.he's kind of young."

"He's fourteen, two years younger than you. Not to mention you both are quite intelligent." Kyra said the last two words with a sophisticated tone.

"Fourteen?"

"Yeah, see how much you know. Just talk to him, get to know him, you'd be surprised."

Suki glanced at him.

"Not to mention he's just your height," Kyra said quickly and waltzed away before Suki could counter.

While Suki was raging at Kyra and Kyra laughing it off, Chiriko noticed them. Kyra was happily dancing with a Nyan-Nyan, but Suki.seemed less than pleased. She leaned up against the wall and sighed.

"Suki?"

She looked at him. "Hey, Chiriko," she said brightly. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, I'm just bored. What about you?"

"Same. Kyra's trying to get me to dance with a Nyan-Nyan."

He laughed. "There's Chichiri!" he exclaimed and pointed.

"And Carrie," Suki added as the two of them walked in. Chichiri held out his hand and Carrie took it, then they began to dance. Suki sighed enviously.

"Those two.they make such a great couple," Suki said, watching them jealously.

"Yeah, well, I'm glad that he's found someone he likes," Chiriko said. "He's had so much sadness in his past."

"And Carrie.had problems at home," Suki added. The two of them sat in silence for a little while.

"Suki." Chiriko began. "I, um.would you like to dance?"

"Sure," she replied and noticed a wink from Kyra as she danced by again.

After a few more songs, Taiitsu-kun made an announcement.

"Tonight must be the night you five from the other world must decide whether or not you stay here."

"Not one to give us much notice," Kyra grumbled. "But I'm tired of this field trip. I'm going back."

"Miaka? Taka?"

"We're going."

"Suki."

"Love it here, but I got a life back home."

"Carrie?"

Carrie looked around at the faces watching her. The others wanted to go back to their families, but in that moment she realized that her real family was beside her.

"You're coming.aren't you?" Kyra asked. Carrie looked at the floor and shook her head.

"But you have to!" Suki exclaimed and grabbed her. "I won't go without you!"

"Suki, look at me," Carrie said. "Look at this. Back there.I'm bound to succeed in one attempt.here.it's gone. I'm sorry."

Tears flooded from Suki's eyes as Carrie hugged her. "Suki, you have a life back there, a nice, long one. I don't."

"Come on, Suki, she ain't gonna budge," Kyra said sharply. More so than either of them had heard. Suki looked at her friend and walked away. Taiitsu-kun opened a portal, and they all stepped into it in single file.

And they were gone.

A/N: It's finally over. Or is it? Poor Suki. Having to leave Carrie there. But she'll she her again. Shh... Don't tell anyone this but- *WHACK* Himitsu, "Baka! You can't tell them that. Then there wouldn't be any suspense." But, there might be the chance that there will be omakes. That's all I can say, or else Himi-chan will hit me again. Ja ne! P.S. What would happen if someone tried to make a movie of this? Think on that and you might get your answer.
