ok. next chapter. YAY!!!!!




Flowers and Sister.



The next morning, I was so sore. My whole body hurt, especially my back. I was covered in bandages, and it hurt to move. Right when I woke up, a servant walked over to me, and said,

"You need tp get up, get some excercize and fresh air!"

Was she kidding? I felt like if I moved, I would just fall over. I stared at her confusedly, and slowly, moved the covers. At least this time I wasn't wearing a gown. I gently touched one of my feet to the floor, and pushed all my weight on it, I did the same with the other, and balanced. I slowly walked, and she followed me, she led me outside.

"This is going to be your therapy.", she handed me some flowers and a vase. "Flower arranging.", she smiled. "If you need me, I'll be over here, tending to the plants.", she walked off. For a minute I stared at the flowers, beautiful bulbs of all colors. I picked one up and put it in the vase, followed by another. I only used one of my hands, for I had a deep scar in the other. I arranged them until they were a big burst of flowers. The servant walked back, "It looks beautiful!", she said. She held out her hand, and I slowly grabbed it. I stood up, she supported some of my weight. This woman had long blue hair, and caring green eyes. She had a beautiful smile.

"Im Noshi.", I said.

"Yes, and Im En-chi.", she said. We made it through the door, and we walked a little bit down the hall. Even this hurt. We walked in the dining room, and saw that Miaka and Chichiri were missing. She pulled a chair out for me, and I sat in it. Now, my feet were sore. Well, they had to get well somehow. I noticed they were looking at me.

"Well? What are you staring at me for?", Oh yeah ,this is the first time we had spoken since the ceremony.
"Oh? That...Well...uhh...", I smiled innocently, I didn't really know what to say. Luckily, En-chi came in,

"The nurse told me to tell you that, you need to go outside and walk the grounds a bit. For therapy, and to explore. I'll be back in a minute to take you."

"I'll take her!", Nuriko said.

"Well, alright.", and she walked off. Nuriko walked over to me and helped me out, and we walked down the hall, slowly. We got out side and we explored for what seemed like an eternity. Finally, we walked over to the gate. It lead down a steep hill, and you could see the whole town. Nuriko explained about this, and I leaned against the gate. After he explained he said,

"Why don't we rest here a moment?", I nodded, and slowly sat down. He sat down as well, next to me. We stared off a moment, not saying anything. I finally found something to say,

"So...I guess you saw my memories, huh?", I waited to see what he'd say. He surprised me, his face showed no sadness, or shock. He was smiling. He continued to stare off.

"Yeah I did."

"So, what did you think.?"

"I think, I think you're strong Noshi.", those words meant a lot to me. I smiled at him , and he looked at me.

"You're like a little sister to me you know that?I care about you a lot, and after that, I don't think I could ever let anything happen to you.", he said, smiling. He ruffled my hair, and stood up. He held out his hand, and I took it. We walked back in together and didn't say a word.

When we got back, my flowers were sitting on the table. I smiled at them.

"So, Noshi, how you feelin?", Tasuki asked, glad to see I was out.

"Pretty good I guess, but damn, my back hurts. ", I said. He got out of his chair, and poked me in the back. I jumped around screaming.

"OWWW!!!OWWWWWWW!!!! DAMMIT! DONT TOUCH IT!", I yelled. I wanted to hit him, but I'd just hurt my hand more. I walked over to Miaka, who was staring at a book, looking confused. I looked at it. It was arithmetic. I looked at how far she had gotten, and found her problem.

"Miaka-san, you need to divide this not this.", I said pointing to the paper.

"Hey! Yeah! You're right!", she said. I still had another question. Ever since we left the bandit's I wanted to ask it.

"Miaka-san, who is Tamahome?", the room fell silent. Everyone stared at us. "Did I say something wrong?!", I yelled.

"No,no. It's alright. Tamahome is the man I love...He's being held captive by my best friend right now."
But tonight, we're gonna go get him!", she exclaimed. That sounded messed up.

"Ok.....", I said, confused.

"These flowers are beautiful.", Miaka said, as she touched one. "I arrang-!", my eyes went wide. When I said that I had pointed at the flowers and a shot of fire came out of my finger. I singed the flower.

"WHAT THE HELL?!", I yelled. I stared at my finger. It looked normal.

"Hey that must be your powers.", Tasuki said.

"That is correct.", someone said.

"AHH!!!!!!!! ITS THAT POTATO!!!!!!!!!!!"

"OLD WITCH!"

"OLD HAG!"

We got bonked again. It was Taiitsukun.

"Your powers are small amounts of theirs.", she said indicating the seishi. "For example, you ealing power can heal small wounds. Remember you must use your powers to protect the seishi.", I nodded.
She disappeared.

"HEY ! It's almost dusk time to get ready!", Tasuki yelled.
