Chapter 4 - A Little Action.
~~~Cyeryl~~~
I stirred as someone shook me.
"Young lady~! Wake up~! It's dangerous out here~!"
I snapped open my mismatched and now swollen eyes and stared into the person who had woke me up. The man had an odd looking clothes which made me remember about the dream yesterday. That is when I studied the area I am in.
"W-where am I?"
And the man kindly replied,
"You're near the Konan boarder, young lady."
I blinked.
"Um... excuse me but... how can you talk English??"
The man gave me a look as if I'm from another world(well, really I am though).
"What are you talking about??"
He shook his head and walked off.
"Uh... thank you for waking me up!!"
He waved it off. I was leaning against a big tree, under the cool shade.
"Now, how the hell did I get here? I mean, not by falling from the sky."
I thought hard... but shrugged it off.
"Hmph! Who cares now? I don't even want to go back anyway!"
Pulling my hair band out and replacing it again, I went straight through the boarder and into the city. It's sooo~ crowded in here and a lot of people gave me looks. I looked at my clothes. Okay, I know I'm all blue but they don't have to stare at me like that!
"Anyway... this place looks like Ancient China!! So cool!"
I was gazing all around me and I didn't realise a person right in front of me. 'BUMP'
"Ah!! Sorry!"
I apologised to the person but when I saw... HER, I was surprised.
"Miaka!!"
Miaka mumbled some ouchies then looked at me. She sprinted onto her foot and hugged me. We both landed onto the ground.
"Cyeryl-chan~!!!"
I became blue.
"M-Miaka... can't breathe..."
She let go off me in a flash and nervously laughed.
"Umm~ Sorry~"
I stood up and dusted myself off.
"It's alright. But next time... PLEASE just don't do that. You're going to kill me..."
Miaka scratched her head.
"Gomen...! Cyeryl-chan, your Japanese is really good!!"
I blinked.
"Your ENGLISH is."
Miaka's face twisted.
"Oh, never mind. Why are you here anyway? And where's Yui?"
Miaka suddenly grabbed me by my shoulder and violently shook me.
"She's not with me today. I got sucked into that book!!"
"Book?"
Miaka replied rushingly,
"Yeah, the red book! You came here last time because of that, didn't you?"
"Hm, I've thought of that. Hey, where were you going?"
Miaka paused and slightly blushed.
"Well, um, you see... you know that boy who saved us?"
I did two nods as a reply.
"Well~ it's not that often I see a handsome boy like him... so I--"
I grinned.
"So you decided to find him and be his little girlfriend, eh?"
I saw her blush madly.
"Nonononono!!!! It's nothing like that! I only wanted to thank him!! That's all!!"
I continued my grinning and said,
"Whatever~"
While we did some little chit-chat, time has passed and soon, I saw a man put his hand on Miaka's shoulder. She quickly turned around and blinked.
"Yaa ojousantachi(hello young ladies)."
He smiled at us... I don't know him. Don't talk to strangers. I pulled Miaka with me.
"Miaka, ignore him."
Miaka looked back and forth.
"Hey, wait wait! I heard that you(Miaka) was searching for a boy with a symbol on his forehead, am I right?"
Miaka brightened and nodded her head continuingly. The man went on.
"Well, he's a friend of mine."
"REALLY!?"
Miaka stupidly bounced on him and ordered him to show us where he is.
"Come and follow me."
The man pointed his thumb towards a dark alley. This is so not good. I tried to keep Miaka away from him but she didn't listen.
"Miaka!! Don't follow him!! You wouldn't know if he's telling the truth! Come on!"
She was already in the middle of an alley. I ran towards her and whispered,
"Do you want to get raped!?"
This certainly took the attention of the brainless girl. And I continued.
"Men in every world is the same!"
Miaka turned towards me with a worried look on her face. Gah, NOW she realises!!
"But... what if he is telling the truth?"
I sighed deeply and pulled the man towards me.
"You. Better. Be. Telling. The. Truth. Or. Else...!"
The man snickered.
"Or else what? You'd kick my ass because I led you two to my OTHER friends?"
I felt anger boil in me.
"Miaka, do you know what? I WAS RIGHT!! Now get your sorry ass out of here while I could get rid of these--"
A man appeared from the corner where this stupid man was taking us.
"Miaka! Hurry up!!"
I looked at her at the corner of my eyes and she hesitantly ran. When I looked back at the man, I saw another coming. And another. And another.
"You fuckin' piece of shit!!"
I threw the man I was grabbing and he landed hard on his back.
"Show me what you've got!!!"
The fight has started. One single girl vs skimpy old lads.
~~~Miaka~~~
"What should I do!? What should I do!?"
I can hear the sound effects and screams even from far away. I was panicking.
"I should of listened to what Cyeryl-chan said!!"
I began to search.
"Anything! Anyone! A pole, a bat, a frying pan, a sauce pan, food!! NO! Not food! Argh!!! SOMEONE--------!!!!!!!!!!!! HEEEEELLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!"
When I didn't see anyone coming, I was more than worried about Cyeryl-chan!!!!! Ohmigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh!! It's all my fault!! I whimpered.
~~~Sou Kishuku(Tamahome)~~~
I was taking a walk across the top of the roofs. Today, everything seemed so loud but peaceful... until I heard a scream.
"SOMEONE--------!!!!!!!!!!!! HEEEEELLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!"
I looked around to find the place where the voice came from. Just when the scream ended, I heard a whimper from underneath the roof I was standing on. I jumped.
~~~Miaka~~~
As soon as I whimpered, I felt a shadow cover up my whole body. Was it one of the men? I didn't look up but a familiar voice made me.
"Daijoubuka?(are you okay) What happened?"
I slowly pointed at the direction where Cyeryl-chan was fighting... huh? The sound effects has gone!! Is Cyeryl-chan in... trouble!? I ran as fast as I could.
"Please be okay...!"
I skidded to a stop when I saw about more than 15 limp bodies on the ground.
"Oi, what's going on here!?"
The boy asked next to me. He was amazed after I quickly told him about Cyeryl-chan. But changed his expression when we heard a weak,
"Get... off of me... you mother... fucker..."
And what sounded like two people's,
"Now, now. Watch your language girlie."
"Hehe... Hey, I'll hold onto her. You have your fun first."
I gasped. NO!! They better not hurt my friend!!! I ran to round a corner but was stop by a strong hand.
"You stay here. I'll go."
He cracked his knuckles for few times and he rounded the corner. All I heard was,
"Huh!? who are--" 'PUNCH''CRASH''KICK''PUNCH-IN-JAW'
"A-aniki--" 'KICK''ELBOW-IN-FACE''KNEE-IN-GUT''CRACK'
I sweat dropped as I heard the screams as well. After a while, the boy came from the corner, carrying the blooded limp--
"CYERYL-CHAN!!"
The boy silently placed Cyeryl-chan on the ground and I cried.
"Cyeryl-chan, Cyeryl-chan, Cyeryl-chan!! I'm so sorry!! I don't think I could ever walk over your dead body!!!!!"
Suddenly, someone whacked me on the head.
"Who said I was dead, huh?"
I blinked back tears.
"C-C-C-Cyeryl-cha------------------n!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I tackled myself to hug Cyeryl-chan.
"ITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(OUCH)"
Her scream pierced through my ears and into the boys. He covered his ears until the scream finished but I was still clung onto her. The boy sweat dropped and peeled me off of Cyeryl-chan.
~~~Cyeryl's Short POV~~~
"Get... off of me... you mother... fucker..."
I was so beaten up and those few words gave me pain. My vision began to get blur.
"Now, now. Watch your language girlie."
This fuckin' little coward...
"Hehe... Hey, I'll hold onto her. You have your fun first."
Can't even do a single thing by himself... When I was about to black out, I faintly saw someone come up to these suckers. All I've heard was,
"Huh!? who are--" 'PUNCH''CRASH''KICK''PUNCH-IN-JAW'
"A-aniki--" 'KICK''ELBOW-IN-FACE''KNEE-IN-GUT''CRACK'
And I went unconscious. The next time I woke was when Miaka was babbling something about my dead body so I whacked her head.
"Who said I was dead, huh?"
Miaka blinked back tears and shouted,
"C-C-C-Cyeryl-cha------------------n!!!!!!!!!!!!"
As she tackled herself to hug--
"ITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(OUCH)"
I screamed for such a pain she had caused me and I went unconscious.
~~~Sou Kishuku(Tamahome)~~~
I felt blood rush up to my face when I looked at the girl's clothing. Most of it was ripped and torn. She had cuts everywhere as far as I can see and on her face has only a scrape that had a faint blood attached to it. On the other end, there was bruises, cuts and blood mixed onto her body. To say the truth, she had a quite good looking. And I think I saw red and blue eyes before she went unconscious again. One thing that really surprised me was that, how did she manage all those men? She must be a great fighter... Kuso! What am I doing!? I better go and take her to the doctors quickly! I picked up the girl and headed to the doctors.
~~~At The Doctors, Miaka~~~
I sighed in relief when the doctor said that Cyeryl-chan would be alright.
"Thank you so much, doctor!!"
The doctor shrugged it off.
"Well that is the doctor's job."
He smiled.
"And about the bill..."
The boy acted as if he was in heart attack next to me. I stared at him. Ah, he doesn't want to pay for it...
"You don't have to pay."
I turned around towards the doctor. The boy was dancing around.
"But..."
He continued, saying,
"It's really okay. You said that she was attacked by the thugs, right?"
I nodded.
"Well... the leader of them is my grandson. Even if I told him to stop, he'll never listen."
He sighed and seemed to be lost in his thoughts so I decided to leave him alone and pulled the dancing boy with me as I left the little building.
"Um... thanks for everything..."
I said to the boy who looked at me but grinned.
"Any appreciation?"
I closed my eyes and sighed.
"I'm sorry. I don't have any--"
I couldn't finish off my sentence since a loud trumpet's sound took over my voice. I looked over to where the sound came from and watched in awe.
"What's happening?"
A long group of soldiers and horses. People were cheering happily.
"It's the Emperor of Konan-Koku."
The boy said as he sighed dreamily.
"I wish I could have his crown... or just one or two jewels on it... I could be rich."
I sweat dropped seeing his face.
"Um... your dessin has gone weird..."
But then, an idea appeared into my head.
"If I get the jewels, could you take it as my way of appreciation?"
He just nodded, not taking his eyes of the little(compared to the crowd) box where this oh-so-called Emperor is in. Yoshi! I ran into the crowd and then next to the box(I don't know what it's called).
"Excuse me, sire!"
I shout as I walked by.
"You are...?"
A calm reply came from the box. He sounded really young! I wonder how his looks are like?
"Oh, I'm just a passer! Um, could you do me a favour please??"
The soldier on the horse next to me was gasping. But I didn't bother to stop.
"Please give me one or two jewels on your crown!"
I smiled and stretched out both of my hands excitedly. AND I didn't notice a little rock peeking from the ground. I tripped on it.
"Waaaah~!!!"
Without thinking, I grabbed hold onto something beside me. It bared with my weight for a little time but then it ripped. Making the sound which made all the soldiers turn their heads towards me, gasping.
"H-how dare you disrespect his highness!!"
A random soldier raised his sword, preparing to ...strike at me!! Gaaah~!! Doushiyo, doushiyo!?(What should I do(x2)!?)
~~~Sou Kishuku(Tamahome)~~~
"That idiot!!"
Just as the soldier raised his sword, I threw a kemuridama(smoke ball) at them and jumped towards that stupid girl to rescue her AGAIN. Ugh, what's with her!? She's like an accident, waiting to happen!
"Baka! Do you want to kill yourself!?"
I picked her up easily and jumped away from the crowd.
"A-arigatou! You saved me again! I better ask for more!"
I blinked. This girl...
"I'm Sou Kishuku. But people call me Tamahome."
"Tamahome..."
She whispered my name and asked,
"Oh, what about the appreciation?"
I smiled and closed my eyes.
"I'll have it now..."
I lightly kissed her forehead and she seem to panic.
"Eh!?"
~~~Miaka~~~
When Tamahome kissed my forehead I blushed. I started to panic and all. Suddenly, I glowed bright red.
"Eh!? N-nani!?"
Everybody around us had their eyes on me. I stared at my hands as they began to disappear and even Tamahome was shocked to see me like this. Oh no!! Am I going back to my world!? No way! I've just got to known him... The scenery around me was slowly replaced with a familiar place. The reference room in the library! Wait... WAIT!! I grabbed someone near me with a worried look on my face and I closed my eyes tightly.
"Chotto matteyo--!!(wait up already--!!)"
When I opened my eyes, I saw Tamahome staring into me.
"... W-what are you!?"
He asked me shockingly.
"I-I'm just a student who is going to face the exam."
I nervously replied. In a flash, a group of spears and swords were pointing at us. And we were took into a dungeon.
~~~Cyeryl~~~
I know I'm badly hurt... I just know. I heard somebody talking as I tried to wake up.
"Ryosuke... Why can't you stop?"
The voice sounded like an old man.
"Tell me the reason why I want to."
A grumbling voice sounded like... THAT FUCKIN' BASTARD!!!!! I snapped open my eyes with anger and sat up.
"Miss. Cyeryl!! You can't wake up yet!"
I turned to the old man.
"Have you got the right to tell me what I should do!?"
I shouted at him--ACK!!! M-my stomach...!
"Well, I am the doctor in case you haven't noticed..."
As I looked around, I saw another boy getting treated by the doctor. When he turned around and looked at my face, we stood up and pointed at each other.
"YOU ARE!!!!!"
We both shouted in unison and the pain stabbed me... and him.
"ITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~~~After We Calmed Down~~~
"So..."
I started while the pain still stung me.
"I'm just gonna tell you that--ouch... after we're both fully healed--OUCH... l-let's have a fight~--OUCH!!... O-one~ v-versus~ o-one~--OUCH!!!!!"
I couldn't talk properly since the pain kept on stung me. The boy turned his head rather slowly(because he knows that if he do it fast, he's going to break his neck).
"... Hmph... why the hell do I--ACK!!"
I think I heard his bone...
"We. Are. Doing. This. Fight. You. Coward..."
I said while I tried to endure the pain. The doctor sighed deeply and sweat dropped.
"You two... please concentrate on healing... You can do this afterwards. Ah, Miss. Cyeryl, I'd LOVE to introduce my GRANDSON, Ryosuke."
I raised my eyebrows at where he went loud to represent his point.
"Ryosuke is 17--"
I cutted him off with a,
"17? Ha, you so don't look like--ouch... 17 with all those bandages--OUCH... around your... face..."
Ryosuke glared daggers at me. I stifled a laugh. The doctor continued.
"-- and he thinks he's cool---"
Again, I interrupted.
"Damn straight... he thinks he's cool--ouch... with all those pigs he's hanging around with--OUCH... and he's only the top of the mountain--OUCH!!... The pig's mountain... BWAHAHA!--OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!"
I blinked back tears and Ryosuke growled at me.
"-- and he has no respect for me..."
"In fact he has--ouch... no respect for anyone--OUCH... he didn't even say sorry--OUCH!!... For trying to rape a girl!!--OUCH!!!!!!!!"
Ryosuke blushed crimson. And he finally spoke up.
"I-I... ... ... ... I'm... ... ... kinda, sorry..."
Kinda! KINDA!? I would of kicked his ass right now if it weren't for the pain!!! Ryosuke fidgeted with his fingers and he stared at his foot. I sighed. Oh well, at least he did say the word SORRY!!
"... Good boy!"
I grinned, blocking off the pain.
"I'm Cyeryl Keanes. Aged... um, doctor, what day is it today?"
I can't believe myself! Forgetting the month!
"It's the 21st. August."
I blinked.
"Already? Oh, then my age is 15. And~ I don't want to talk no more. My head and stomach and leg and back is aching."
The doctor nodded and gave me a medicine.
"Here, drink this. It's a pain killer."
I stared at him.
"... Why didn't you give me this earlier??"
~~~Cyeryl~~~
I stirred as someone shook me.
"Young lady~! Wake up~! It's dangerous out here~!"
I snapped open my mismatched and now swollen eyes and stared into the person who had woke me up. The man had an odd looking clothes which made me remember about the dream yesterday. That is when I studied the area I am in.
"W-where am I?"

He waved it off. I was leaning against a big tree, under the cool shade.
"Now, how the hell did I get here? I mean, not by falling from the sky."
I thought hard... but shrugged it off.
"Hmph! Who cares now? I don't even want to go back anyway!"
Pulling my hair band out and replacing it again, I went straight through the boarder and into the city. It's sooo~ crowded in here and a lot of people gave me looks. I looked at my clothes. Okay, I know I'm all blue but they don't have to stare at me like that!

I apologised to the person but when I saw... HER, I was surprised.
"Miaka!!"
Miaka mumbled some ouchies then looked at me. She sprinted onto her foot and hugged me. We both landed onto the ground.
"Cyeryl-chan~!!!"
I became blue.
"M-Miaka... can't breathe..."
She let go off me in a flash and nervously laughed.
"Umm~ Sorry~"
I stood up and dusted myself off.
"It's alright. But next time... PLEASE just don't do that. You're going to kill me..."
Miaka scratched her head.
"Gomen...! Cyeryl-chan, your Japanese is really good!!"
I blinked.
"Your ENGLISH is."
Miaka's face twisted.
"Oh, never mind. Why are you here anyway? And where's Yui?"
Miaka suddenly grabbed me by my shoulder and violently shook me.
"She's not with me today. I got sucked into that book!!"

"Huh!? who are--" 'PUNCH''CRASH''KICK''PUNCH-IN-JAW'
"A-aniki--" 'KICK''ELBOW-IN-FACE''KNEE-IN-GUT''CRACK'
I sweat dropped as I heard the screams as well. After a while, the boy came from the corner, carrying the blooded limp--
"CYERYL-CHAN!!"
The boy silently placed Cyeryl-chan on the ground and I cried.
"Cyeryl-chan, Cyeryl-chan, Cyeryl-chan!! I'm so sorry!! I don't think I could ever walk over your dead body!!!!!"
Suddenly, someone whacked me on the head.
"Who said I was dead, huh?"
I blinked back tears.
"C-C-C-Cyeryl-cha------------------n!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I tackled myself to hug Cyeryl-chan.
"ITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(OUCH)"
Her scream pierced through my ears and into the boys. He covered his ears until the scream finished but I was still clung onto her. The boy sweat dropped and peeled me off of Cyeryl-chan.

A random soldier raised his sword, preparing to ...strike at me!! Gaaah~!! Doushiyo, doushiyo!?(What should I do(x2)!?)
~~~Sou Kishuku(Tamahome)~~~
"That idiot!!"
Just as the soldier raised his sword, I threw a kemuridama(smoke ball) at them and jumped towards that stupid girl to rescue her AGAIN. Ugh, what's with her!? She's like an accident, waiting to happen!
"Baka! Do you want to kill yourself!?"
I picked her up easily and jumped away from the crowd.
"A-arigatou! You saved me again! I better ask for more!"
I blinked. This girl...
"I'm Sou Kishuku. But people call me Tamahome."
"Tamahome..."
She whispered my name and asked,
"Oh, what about the appreciation?"
I smiled and closed my eyes.
"I'll have it now..."
I lightly kissed her forehead and she seem to panic.
"Eh!?"
~~~Miaka~~~
When Tamahome kissed my forehead I blushed. I started to panic and all. Suddenly, I glowed bright red.
"Eh!? N-nani!?"
Everybody around us had their eyes on me. I stared at my hands as they began to disappear and even Tamahome was shocked to see me like this. Oh no!! Am I going back to my world!? No way! I've just got to known him... The scenery around me was slowly replaced with a familiar place. The reference room in the library! Wait... WAIT!! I grabbed someone near me with a worried look on my face and I closed my eyes tightly.
"Chotto matteyo--!!(wait up already--!!)"
When I opened my eyes, I saw Tamahome staring into me.
"... W-what are you!?"
He asked me shockingly.
"I-I'm just a student who is going to face the exam."
I nervously replied. In a flash, a group of spears and swords were pointing at us. And we were took into a dungeon.
~~~Cyeryl~~~
I know I'm badly hurt... I just know. I heard somebody talking as I tried to wake up.
"Ryosuke... Why can't you stop?"
The voice sounded like an old man.
"Tell me the reason why I want to."
A grumbling voice sounded like... THAT FUCKIN' BASTARD!!!!! I snapped open my eyes with anger and sat up.
"Miss. Cyeryl!! You can't wake up yet!"
I turned to the old man.
"Have you got the right to tell me what I should do!?"
I shouted at him--ACK!!! M-my stomach...!
"Well, I am the doctor in case you haven't noticed..."
As I looked around, I saw another boy getting treated by the doctor. When he turned around and looked at my face, we stood up and pointed at each other.
"YOU ARE!!!!!"
We both shouted in unison and the pain stabbed me... and him.
"ITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~~~After We Calmed Down~~~
"So..."
I started while the pain still stung me.
"I'm just gonna tell you that--ouch... after we're both fully healed--OUCH... l-let's have a fight~--OUCH!!... O-one~ v-versus~ o-one~--OUCH!!!!!"
I couldn't talk properly since the pain kept on stung me. The boy turned his head rather slowly(because he knows that if he do it fast, he's going to break his neck).
"... Hmph... why the hell do I--ACK!!"
I think I heard his bone...
"We. Are. Doing. This. Fight. You. Coward..."
I said while I tried to endure the pain. The doctor sighed deeply and sweat dropped.
"You two... please concentrate on healing... You can do this afterwards. Ah, Miss. Cyeryl, I'd LOVE to introduce my GRANDSON, Ryosuke."
I raised my eyebrows at where he went loud to represent his point.
"Ryosuke is 17--"
I cutted him off with a,
"17? Ha, you so don't look like--ouch... 17 with all those bandages--OUCH... around your... face..."
Ryosuke glared daggers at me. I stifled a laugh. The doctor continued.
"-- and he thinks he's cool---"
Again, I interrupted.
"Damn straight... he thinks he's cool--ouch... with all those pigs he's hanging around with--OUCH... and he's only the top of the mountain--OUCH!!... The pig's mountain... BWAHAHA!--OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!"
I blinked back tears and Ryosuke growled at me.
"-- and he has no respect for me..."
"In fact he has--ouch... no respect for anyone--OUCH... he didn't even say sorry--OUCH!!... For trying to rape a girl!!--OUCH!!!!!!!!"
Ryosuke blushed crimson. And he finally spoke up.
"I-I... ... ... ... I'm... ... ... kinda, sorry..."
Kinda! KINDA!? I would of kicked his ass right now if it weren't for the pain!!! Ryosuke fidgeted with his fingers and he stared at his foot. I sighed. Oh well, at least he did say the word SORRY!!
"... Good boy!"
I grinned, blocking off the pain.
"I'm Cyeryl Keanes. Aged... um, doctor, what day is it today?"
I can't believe myself! Forgetting the month!
"It's the 21st. August."
I blinked.
"Already? Oh, then my age is 15. And~ I don't want to talk no more. My head and stomach and leg and back is aching."
The doctor nodded and gave me a medicine.
"Here, drink this. It's a pain killer."
I stared at him.
"... Why didn't you give me this earlier??"
