A fanfic by Jashi

Rated PG to PG-13 for language, and themes.

Chapter Six…

(Ayako's POV)

Ano… I don't really know what to think. In the past two hours, I have somehow forced myself to see the dream four times.

You might say my mind's a bit tired now.

Mitsukake let me have a quick break because he understands this is hard.

The dreaming, that is.

Never mind that I'm also getting a crash course in advanced medicine.

But I'm not going to complain. I'm lucky. Mitsukake is pretty cool. Tall, strong, and silent, you might say.

Teehee. ^_^

But anyway, the sun isn't so low now, it's the true morning. There is lots of bustle.

Truly, I liked it better when no one was awake. There was so much quiet!

I laugh to myself.

Mitsukake appears at the door.

"Ayako-san? We should get back to work now." he says in his quiet voice. I do a mental sigh. At least he's stopped calling me 'Ayako-sama'.

We sit there, in the inside room, and simply think. Cogito ergo sum. Just think.

I'm starting to get just a tad angry.

We've actually figured out one of the pieces, with four more left to go.

I sigh and sit back, and think really, really hard.

If only I knew I was going to be doing this…

(Chichiri's POV)

Grrr…no da. Tasuki has a hangover…AGAIN NO DA! Jeeeeesus, does the guy know how to drink without getting so drunk he gets a hangover so bad only Mitsukake can fix it?

Don't answer that no da.

And I'm trying to find him, but the healer seems to have permanently hidden himself somewhere where I couldn't possibly ever find him no da.

I'm in a bit of a bad mood right now, no da, because Tasuki also did some…er…daaaa…inappropriate things while he was drunk. Nothing too bad, but enough to make a guy feel…blah, no da.

Heheh, no da.

I hear sounds of talking when I pass a room. Mitsukake's voice, deep and very quiet. But, there is another voice .

Dark…fluent…nice to listen to.

Ayako's voice.

I think it has changed, from the time I first met her.

Which is REALLY weird no da.

But she's in the same room with Mitsukake, so I finally find my way in. They must really want privacy, because I can't hear what they're really saying. It's something in advanced healing, or more complicated things. I wonder how Ayako learned it so quickly.

I knock on the door, and quietly open it, and walk in. They look up from their slight debate.

"Ohayo, Chichiri-san." says Ayako cheerfully.

"Ohayo." says Mitsukake.

"Er…gomen for disturbing you. But Tasuki has a hangover again no da…" I stutter a bit.

Mitsukake chuckles a bit. "That is to be expected." he gets up, and walks outside, and walks down to his room. When he returns, he has a small bottle in his hand. He throws it to me.

"That's a pain lessener. It won't cure him, but hopefully it will teach him a lesson." he says.

Ayako and I laugh.

"I doubt that it will." says she, placing her head on her hand. She sighs and looks away.

(Ayako's POV)

I sigh. Good lord, I am beginning to hate plants. Well…I'm afraid I must take that back, but still, I'm getting tired of…thinking of nothing but them. Chichiri leaves, saying, "Good luck no da."

Heh. That man is so cheery. But why, I have no clue. Scratch that. One of these days I'll randomly know.

I'm having a love/hate relationship with myself.

I wish this power would drip off me like water when it rains. But then I remember that I can do good with this power. But then I think of the past…and then I feel like I may cry.

No.

I will never cry, never let a single drop of water gently pour from my eyes to caress my cheek.

No.

No.

No.

No.

I will never cry again.

!@!@!@!

Hey there! It's Jashi. I know I said this chapter would be long…but it's not really.

I'm so sorry L don't flame me! I beg of you! But I am sorry about the wait for this chapter.

Ayako's acting a bit like the psycho she is, eh?

But Ayako's NOT A PSYCHO!!!! Remember that! If anyone says she's a Psycho, I will hunt them down!

*rants for a few more minutes*

Ok… I got that out of my system.

I don't own FY, but I do own AYAKO. ~Jashi~
