First of all, if you havenÕt read Ch. 7 yet, I suggest you go back, because I rewrote it. And in this chapter, our enemy shows its face! Sorta. . . Anyway, I promise to have the next chapter out soon! As well as the CCS/SM crossover. I know I said I wouldnÕt start writing it until I finished this fic, but I canÕt help it!

If you donÕt get it, if the two girls put on the necklaces, theyÕll be able to take on the form they had during the silver millenium, which is their most powerful transformation.

Disclaimer: I donÕt own Fushigi Yugi, or Sailor Moon.

Chapter 8: Taken Over


The two shadows flew through the sky, as quickly as they could. Their eyes were glued on two pale lights that marked their target. Passing through a closed window of a house, one of the shadows walked towards the jewerly box, and opened it.


Both of the shadows placed their right hand over each of the necklaces. The room suddenly got colder, as the bigger shadow began chanting words of an anicent tongue. In a flash of light, both shadows disappeared, leaving no clue that they had ever been there.


Except for one thing. The red and green glow of the two necklaces, was now drowned out by black. . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Makoto leaned agasint the door frame of the house, Ashitare had led her to. Hopefully, he had actually led her to his home, and not someone elseÕs like he did before. She grinned inspite of herself.


Ashitare watched her, as she rang the door bell. She didnÕt seem as sad as she did before. He was curious, what had made her cry like that? And what was that scar on her wrist?


Makoto tapped her foot impatiently, as she waited for someone to answer the door. Reaching forward, she scratched the wolf behind the ears. Again, she had the feeling that she knew him from somewhere.


The door finally opened to reveal . . . the 8, no, 13 year old boy from yesterday. MakotoÕs eyes bugged out. Ashitare belonged to the crazy kid!?


ÒIs this your dog. . . er. . . wolf?Ó she asked as she pointed towards the wolf.


ÒNo, heÕs not mine.Ó


Makoto mentally slapped herself. Ashitare had brought her to the wrong house, yet again! She glared at the wolf, as he contiuned nuzzling her hand.


ÒHey Chiriko! Who rang the summoning bell?Ó


Makoto looked up when she heard TasukiÕs voice. The older boy ruffled ChirikoÕs hair, before his eyes settled on her. Makoto felt her heart beat quicken.


ÒWhat are you doing here?Ó


ÒUm, I was just wondering if you knew who he belongs to.Ó she said quickly, as she lightly blushed.


Ashitare suddenly started barking, and tackled Tasuki, sending him to the floor before jumping up onto his master, who had just entered the room. Makoto folded her arms, and stared down at Chiriko.


ÒI thought you said, Ashitare wasnÕt your wolf.Ó


ÒHe isnÕt, heÕs NakagoÕs.Ó Chiriko answered honestly.


Makoto began mentally hitting her head agasint the wall. Why did this kid have to be so literal?!


Tasuki had just managed to get up from his undignifed position on the floor, when Ashitare came barreling through again, making the man fall back down to the ground. Lightly bitting the girlÕs sweater, he dragged her into the living room, and towards his family, before running off again.


Makoto looked nervously at the seven people in front of her. All of them were wearing really strange clothes, and were starring at her. Suddenly, she saw all of them weaved in a blue green light. Different symbols appeared on their bodies. Nakago, Soi, Tomo, Amiboshi, Suboshi, Miboshi, Seiryuu no Miko. A dragon appeared behind them. She barely felt TasukiÕs hand on her shoulder as he asked her if she was alright.


ÒAshitare! Come back here with that!Ó yelled Miaka, as she chased the wolf out of her room. The stupid wolf had stolen the dragon necklace out of the jewelry box. If anything happened to that, they would all be in trouble.


She ran into the living room, where Ashitare had run into. The wolf ran straight to a brown haired girl, who was starring at the Seiryuu seishi. Her eyes widened when she saw what happened next.


Ashitare nudged the girlÕs leg causing her to snap out of her trance. Makoto tore her eyes away from the people in front of her, and kneeled down beside the wolf. The wolf then lay the dragon necklace on the floor.


*This necklace . . . I feel drawn to it, as if itÕs a part of me, that I lost long ago . . .*


As she reached her left hand forward, both she and the necklace began to glow brighter and brighter. Her hand grasped the chain, and electrical shocks began going through her. Her untied hair was swirling around her, as the symbol of Jupiter appeared on her forehead. More and more images began appearing in her mind.


flashback:

ÒDaddy, could you tell me more about the stars?Ó asked the seven year old, as she sat with her father on the roof of the palace. A faint breeze brushed agasint their leather wings.


Her father laughed and pointed up at the stars above them. ÒOne day, 7 children of the stars will be born. They will have great powers, and help make the world a better place. Their names will be Nakago, Soi, Tomo, Miboshi, Amiboshi, Suboshi, and Ashitare.Ó


ÒI canÕt wait to meet them.Ó


Seiryuu turned to her, and his eyes saddened. Reaching out, he wrapped his wings around her. ÒMakoto, I want you to promise me something. One day, the wind will call for you to join it in its dance. When that day comes, I want you to stay with me, you understand?Ó


The child nodded, as she let out a sleepy yawn. ÒI promise daddy.Ó


The vicious god of war gently kissed her hair. He closed his eyes as he leaned back to look up at his stars. She would break her promise to him. The fates had already determined her defeat. . .

flashback:

Rei gave a strangled scream as the arrow flew through her heart. Gasping for breath, she fell to her knees. Makoto quickly stood in front of her, her wings shielding her cousin from anymore attacks. With one last gasp of air, Rei fell silent, just as Makoto was hit in the side with a spear.


With a scream of fury, she sent her most powerful attack through the armies, killing all she could. At last she fell, the fates had began cutting her life line. Her breathing became shallower. A tear slipped down her cheek, as she felt the wind agasint her face.


*IÕm sorry father, but I must break my promise. . . the wind . . . itÕs calling me. . .*

end flashback


The light died down, and Makoto stumbled, out of breath. Tasuki caught her before she hit the ground. Ashitare approached her first, and began licking her face. Slowly the rest of the Seiryuu seishi approached the girl.


ÒAshitare found her,Ó whispered Amiboshi, as he stared at the symbol on her forehead.


Yui took the girlÕs hand, and gasped in shock. On the girlÕs wrist was a cut, very similar to her own. A cut one makes, when theyÕre trying to commit sucide.


ÒMakoto!Ó A startled voice rang out.


All the people in the room looked up to see a violet haired girl standing beside Hotohori. Rei stared in horror at the Jupiter symbol. What was happening here?! Where these people demons!?


MiakaÕs hand began to feel warm, and she looked down to see that the pheonix necklace that she was holding in her hand was now glowing. Looking back up, she saw that like the daughter of Seiryuu, the other girl was starting to glow. The necklace began flying towards Rei, and she caught it in her right hand. The symbol of Mars appeared, as she too recieved memories of her past, very similar to her cousinÕs.


Her voice rang out, as she broke out of her trance. ÒYou are the fourteen stars of our fatherÕs. . . and these necklaces will help us transform into our final level.Ó


Rei opened the clasp of the necklace, and put it around her neck. *IÕm coming daddy. I promised IÕd come back to you; when I died.*


Makoto soon followed her cousinÕs lead. The seishi moved back as Rei burst into flame, and Makoto was surrounded by pure electricity. ReiÕs violet hair turned into a beautiful red colour, as did her eyes, and wings of fire emerged from her body. MakotoÕs hair became a brillant emerald, and leather wings burst from her back. But as they were transforming, something happened that was not intended. Two black balls of light entered the girlÕs bodies, just as they finished transforming.


Both of them fell to the ground. Hotohori rushed to help Rei up, while Nakago went to help Makoto. Hotohori gently lifted Rei up, and watched her worridly.


ÒRei? Are you all right?Ó


A giggle broke through the silence, and Rei lifted up her head. Her eyes were completely black.


ÒIÕm sorry, ReiÕs not here right now, could I take a message?Ó


ÒWhat are you talking about, Rei?Ó asked Hotohori in alarm.


ÒReiÕs asleep, this is my body now.Ó
