Chapter 3: Seishi
Long chapter. This is where all the OC come in. Oh, and did I mention that my Japanese did in fact NOT all come from a reliable source? This comp ain't reliable. Soooo, some of it might not be correct. OK, that's all

We arrived in Konan in about an hour. The first thing I saw was blue.
"Konninichiwa no da! Welcome to Konan - AMIBOSHI?!? I thought you were dead na no da!"
"CHICHIRI! I thought you were single na no da!"
"NANI NO DA!?"
"Kami! KoK said you were married!"
"I am, but who is KoK and how did it know no da?"
"KoK is my girlfriend and she says Nakago's earring told her."
"Nani mo no da?"
"BU KOUTOKU!! You know very well I was JOKING!" KoK said indignantly.
I laughed. "You're as easy to tease as otouto! The people I live with are so fun!"
"Urusai, omae baka!" Otouto brandished ryuuseisui at me.
"You wouldn't really," I laughed.
"Iie," he sighed, putting them away.
Chichiri cut in. "Well, you coming to heika's palace no da?"
"Sure, we've got to meet this Shouka girl. How does she survive the narcissism?"
Chichiri pointedly ignored me. "Then come on no da!"
"Coming no da!" Otouto copied his speech pattern.
We arrived at Hotohori's palace within the space of 5 minutes.
We were met by Hotohori himself, and Shouka with him. She was a tall, pretty blonde girl of about 17.
(sadly, I seem to be the youngest person in Konan. I don't think I've ever met anyone younger that me, except for otouto and KoK. Yui and Miaka might have been younger though.)
Anyway, we were greeted and brought into the palace. When KoK displayed her knowledge, she was corrected.
"You forgot Mitsukake," laughed Hotohori.
"Mitsukake?"
"Hai," said a voice behind me. I turned and saw the healer, standing with a tall, blue-haired and golden-eyed girl wearing a purple kimono. "Please meet Hidemi."
"Konninichiwa! Watashi wa Chichiri's imoto."
"Chi...chiri?"
"Hai no da?"
"Do you have any other relations I don't know about?"
"Only Hidemi and Maze no da. Hidemi survived the flood, she was picked up by a small fishing craft, and we've only just been reunited na no da."
"Thank Suzaku." (I was referring to the fact that maze and Hidemi were the only ones)
"My view exactly no da. This is Maze, by the way no da."
Maze was brown-haired, blue-eyed, and, again, older and taller than me. It made my head hurt. "Konbanwa, Maze-san."
"Konbanwa, Amiboshi-san."
"C'mon no da!" Chichiri teased, " You want to meet Taira, and Waen, and Tomoko, right na no da?"
"Are they taller and/or older than me?"
"Hai no da!"
"Iie no da!"
"Aw, you know you want to no da!"
"Fine, fine."
Tomoko and Tasuki made an interesting couple. She was tall, slender, and had large blue eyes. Her black hair went down to her waist, and the clothes she wore was a blue kimono sashed with gold. Compare that to Tasuki's red hair, amber eyes, and blue coat, not to mention his bandit finery, and you got a...strange...picture. But they got along well.
Taira looked annoyingly like Nuriko and the now-deceased Houki. She'd be a nightmare. Long purple hair in a braid, clothes I'd swear were styled after Nuriko's female attire, and identical bracelets. Eugh, if I could tell them apart it would be a miracle. Another couple meant for each other.
Both of the girls were 16.
Oh, and let's not forget Waen. Black hair done up Soi-style with scarves, eyes the colour of moss, and two half-snake, half-horse beings made of ice, not to mention the age of 29. Well, she and Hikitsu were DEFINITELY meant for each other. They shared that strange love of long-distance horse-back riding, as well as their ice-based powers.
KoK shared the same thoughts as I on the subject of keeping everyone straight, apparently, for she smiled helplessly and began to scribble a discription of everyone and their names on her wrist. I contemplated doing the same.
"I'm gonna be like Mits and say 10 words a day," she whispered. I nodded.
"Ne, Yui-sama, it's great to meet so many new people, a`?"
KoK and I both groaned.
Yui cracked up.
"Ne! Omae! It's too much! Boku o korosuuu! Ahh!" I fell to my knees, pretending to sob with emotion. Otouto whacked me gently on the back of the head with ryuuseisui. I flopped down, lying on my back and staring up at the ceiling. "This is an interesting ceiling. It has a tessen blast painted on it."
"I don't think it was painted..."
"Hontou? Do tell."
"Can you play the flute like that?" KoK inquired.
"Nani, on my back?"
"Hai."
"I can tryyyy..."
"Go ahead."
From my awkward positon on the floor, I struck a pose and began playing. KoK sang along. "Tokimeki no doukasen ga karada-juu wo hashitte'ru! BARABARA ni naranai you ni SHIKKARI shinakucha watashi!"
"Like you would!"
"I might!"
"Yeah, right."
"Chotto! 'Demo chotto, kyou wa chotto!' Chotto, kitto!"
"Chotto, kitto?"
"Hai!"
"Yoi kami-sama!"
"Gizoku mo kizoku!"
"THAT was random! KoK, sometimes you scare me! Omae wa kowai koneko!"
"Nani MO?"
"Hai," I returned with a grin.
"Am not!"
At that point everyone joined in the torture.
"Tama-neko wa koneko," suggested Waen.
"Byakko-seikun wa koneko!" laughed Tomoko.
"Nani? Hontou?" asked Maze.
"Hai! His okaa-san wa Byakko-seikun's okaa-san!" That came from Hidemi.
"Tama-neko wa Byakko-seikun's ANIKI?!" Taira burst out laughing.
"Anikiiiiiii!" wailed otouto.
"Nani?" Hotohori, Shouka and I all said simultaneously.
"Evil!" he said, exaggerating it a kind of distress, "K-k-kowai!"
Everyone who knew Tasuki (and that was everyone) yelled, "Mr. Scary-face!" Tasuki glared. "URUSAI!"
"Kekekekekekeke!"
"Tomo?!" Everyone whirled around, looking for the not-to-be-seen seishi, save otouto, Yui and I. We knew. KoK grinned innocently.
"Better get used to it!" I laughed.
"Your girlfriend laughs like Tomo?!"
"Yup."
"Iiiiiee!"
"Kekekekekeke!" KoK and I laughed together.
"Itai no da!" screeched Chichiri.
Tomoko grinned at everyone. "Who knows "Blue Eyes...Blue"? Chichiri hasn't truly known "itai"!" Tasuki, Hidemi, Waen, Taira, Maze, Hikitsu, KoK, otouto, Yui, and I all raised our hands. "Hikitsu?" Tomoko raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I had to do SOMETHING with 200 years of spare time! Why not learn awful songs? Oh, come on, tell me nobody ever heard Tomite's screams down in Hokkan?!"
"Anyway. Amiboshi, you take the instrumental bit. Girls, lyrics are up to you. Hikitsu, Tasuki, Suboshi, you come in on the "blue eyes...blue" bit. Ichi -"
But she never got any further, because we all burst into song.
"ITAI NA NO DA!!!"
"Kekekekekeke!" everyone shouted.
"How are the Seiryuu no shichiseishi? Reincarnated?" I spoke.
"Iie." Tomoko.
"Just you and Suboshi." Hidemi.
"That's odd." Yui.
"Yes. But we do not question Suzaku's descions." Hotohori.
"Um. Wouldn't that be Seiryuu?" Otouto.
"His either!" Shouka, laughing.
"Ok. Oh, does anyone know the point of US being brought back into Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho? Taka and Miaka weren't. And speaking of them, why were we pulled in using green, as well as red and blue? Red I can explain, because that could be me, and possibly KoK. Blue is otouto and Yui-chan. But GREEN?
"Well, I can't offer an explanation."
"Ne," said KoK, "What if I'm for Genbu?"
"That's illogical. Demo, it is a possibility."
"All hail, the new Genbu no Miko!"
Hikitsu and Waen glared. "Takiko-sama is sacred. No jokes, o-negai," said the former.
"Okay, let's make fun of Suzaku no Miko! I was just kidding!" he protested to Hotohori stern look. "Aniki, tell him I was kidding! He doesn't believe me."
"Trust me, he's not serious," I assured the emperor. "He's almost never serious. That's strange, because in his other life he was so somber. Now, he's always kidding around. But that's the way he is."
Glare. Glare. "AHHH!" Nuriko screamed. Everyone turned to him. He smiled innocently. "Well, I had to do SOMETHING to break the mood you were creating!" he protested.
"He did," I agreed. "You need to lighten up." I turned to Nuriko, put my hands behind my back, and recited, "That was the UGLIEST sound I ever heard!"
"That's how I feel about your flute!" he joked back.
"Heika'd better put in earplugs," said Yui.
"Doshite?"
"He can't bear ugly things."
Everyone laughed.
"Now that's how you should be!" I clapped my hands. "Wai, minna-san, wai!"
"Arigatou, Amiboshi-san."
Suddenly both Hidemi and Tomoko looked at one another and grinned, and began to sing. "Anata wa watashi, wasurenaide! Watashi wa anata, ai wa hitotsu!"
"NO WAY!" shrieked Tasuki.
"Surely you don't mean it?" asked Mitsukake
"Amaku setsunakute namida sumi sou ni naru!" they sang in answer. "Of course we don't mean it! You thought we were serious?"
"Of course not," said Mitsukake.
"After all, what with you and Tama-neko!" Waen laughed.
All done for now, more later. The Japanese was
Urusai, omae baka: Shut up, you idiot.
Heika: Your highness or his highness
Watshi wa Chichiri's imoto: I am Chichiri's little sister
Konbanwa: Good evening
A`: huh.
Boku o korosu: I will die
Hontou: Really?
Tokimeki no Doukasen is the ending theme. The line she sang meant: The fuse of excitement runs all through my body. If I don't pull myself together, I'll fall to pieces. They were making fun of the fall to pieces line
Chotto: a bit.
The line was again from TMND. It meant: but a little bit, today, a little bit.
Kitto: I'm sure
Yoi kami-sama: Good lord!
Gizoku mo kizoku: Noblemen and noble bandits. Inside joke from Eikou Den 1.
Omae wa kowai koneko: You are a scary kitten.
The successive sentences mean: Tama-neko is a kitten, Byakko is a kitten, His mother was Tama-neko's mother, and Byakko is Tama-neko's brother?
Itai: ouch
Demo: but
O-negai: please, a favor
Doshite: Why
Wai, minna-san: Hooray, everybody
This is the theme for the 2nd OAV, called "Star". It's a love song.
Well, that's all for now! Expect another chapter sooner...or maybe later. Ja, KoK. Oh, yeah, I forgot. Reviewies, pwease?
Long chapter. This is where all the OC come in. Oh, and did I mention that my Japanese did in fact NOT all come from a reliable source? This comp ain't reliable. Soooo, some of it might not be correct. OK, that's all
