Disclaimer: If you'll buy Fushigi Yuugi for me, I'll give you all my homework in return! ^_^
Thanks to shadow priestess, RyogazGal, TA Maxwell, Kang Xiu, and Kouryou Sanomi for reviewing!
Warnings: A somewhat girlish Genrou, and an evil Houjun abound in here. Approach with caution. Also, a corny ending… ~_~;

Yurushi (Forgiveness)
"To err is human, to forgive is divine."
"Oh, please! I'm really [#@*&^] sorry…" Genrou whined after Houjun.
"Look, Genrou. You've somehow managed to burn my homework, which I have to redo now, lost my library book, which I didn't even get to read, and actually got me kicked out of the house by Ryuuen," Houjun spoke through his clenched teeth. 'All this in the space of one week," he thought unhappily. If not for the fact that Ryuuen had tossed them out for quarrelling and fighting, he would not be roaming the streets with Genrou behind him.
"But I'm am truly [^#@*%] sorry! I'll do anything to make things right again!" Genrou pleaded. He knew that Houjun was really angry this time… and he was one of the calmest people Genrou knew. He had just been trying to copy off some of Houjun's work so that he would not get scolded by the teacher. He had also been trying to cook breakfast at the same time. But the people had somehow slipped under the stove, even though he had really been careful. And the library book? He had borrowed that to write on. Where it was now, he had no idea. 'But the main idea is to get Houjun to forgive me now, right?' He thought to himself.
Suddenly, a brown streak leapt onto him.
"Genrou! What are you doing here?" Genrou jumped in fright, and stifled a shriek. He looked back, and saw Miaka, his good friend. She had been told to stay in school for remedial, so did not come home with the others. Houjun quickly joined then, and revealed what had happened. Miaka stared.
"That is a lot of damage, even for someone like you Genrou," she admitted. "But I think the two of you should come home now. Ryuuen called me, and she was close to hysterical." Houjun nodded and smiled. Ryuuen usually solved all problems by tossing Genrou out, but this time… she had thrown out a very, very angry Houjun as well. * 'It's not too bad,' he mused.
When they returned home, Saihitei, Ryuuen and Doukun were sitting in the living room. Saihitei tried in vain to make Houjun forgive Genrou, but Houjun was adamant that Genrou should redo his homework for him, which Genrou could not accept, since he was still trying to hand in all his late homework. Doukun sighed.
"To err is human, to forgive is divine, you know," he said. Houjun's eyes flickered.
"All right. I suppose I could redo my homework…" He muttered.
"Really? Thank you, Houjun!" Genrou looked up with hope in his eyes.
"And I could go look for the book myself…" Houjun crossed his legs.
"Thanks a lot!" Genrou smiled.
"But I have a small request. Lend me your diary."
"What?! No [$@&#^] way!"
"Otherwise, I won't forgive you…"
Genrou stared in horror at Houjun, and looked to the others. They shrugged their shoulders, and looked away. He sighed and slowly pulled out his secret diary from his pocket. Houjun took it with an evil smile, and started to flip through the pages.
"Now I know why we never get Houjun angry…"
"He's so scary…"
Suddenly, Houjun walked across the room to Genrou." I didn't know you like my sister."
The house was filled with a blood-curdling shriek, which abruptly stopped when Genrou was thrown out the window. (The teacher didn't understand this bit. ~_^)
"Oops…" Ryuuen stared at the broken window and looked back guiltily at Saihitei.
[Saihitei sighed. "Don't worry, Ryuuen, I think I can pay for it…" Ryuuen smiled in relief. "Arigato, Saihitei, you are quite divine!" Ryuuen grinned.]

* - We've never actually seen Chichiri angry before (except when he was confronting Hikou) so it makes sense he would be VERY scary when he got mad. ^_^;
A/n: All the stuff in between the brackets [] are what I didn't write during the exam, mostly because the teacher would not accept Tasuki language, and that I didn't have enough time to finish… Also, because she specifically told me not to write fanfiction (or manga stories, as she calls them), this is the last part to the trilogy.
But there's still the Commonwealth Essay… *laughs evilly
