The Tale of Byakko

Chapter 2

Been a loooong time since I updated this lil' ficcy. Oh well. Yes, people, click that cute little button that says 'Go' and type in a few words for a poor author with verrrry little reviews. *sobs*

" Tataraaaaaaaaa !!!" What looked like a mini-whirlwind came flying into the room, startling Suzuno. " Yes, Amefuri ?" Tatara asked with an eternally-weary-because-of-this-girl air.

" Oh Tatara, where did you go ? Everyone said that the Priestess of Byakko has arrived in this village. Is it true ?" Amefuri asked, nearly choking him to death.

" She's right there." He choked out, pointing to Suzuno.

" Oh, so you're the Priestess." Amefuri seemed to inspect Suzuno, then nodded, satisfied.

" I am like Tatara, another of the Byakko no Seishi." She said respectfully, a white sign blazing across her forehead.

" As you can see, Tatara and I are old friends, aren't we, Tatara ?" Amefuri nearly squeezed Tatara to death.

Grandmother ordered for Amefuri to stop before Tatara died of loss of air.

Mieko and Ayako chuckled together, giggling, " Amefuri, still the same as ever."

Only Suzuno felt slightly left out. Apparently everyone here knew Amefuri. While she didn't. Plus Amefuri was choking poor old Tatara to death.

The other thing was that Amefuri was stunningly beautiful (despite her peculiar nature), with wavy black hair and lovely piercing eyes of a strange cobalt. Quite unusual for a Chinese, Suzuno noted. She also seemed to be quite friendly with Tatara, Suzuno observed, feeling a wave of jealousy wash over her.

Wait. Don't be silly, Suzuno. A day with him, both practically strangers, and you're all starting to get possessive ? That's dangerous territory, you know. And for all you know, Amefuri could be his well...you know. She might not appreciate you acting all possessive, right ?

But even as she said that to herself, she could feel a kind of sad resignation as she watched Amefuri and Tatara...

AN : Yes, I'm not familiar with Amefuri, whether boy or girl, but I'm just doing my own fanfic, OKAY ?
