A.N: finally chapter two! Updated and up to speed with the rest of the story!. As usual I don't own Fushigi Yuugi but I do own Kyari and any spelling and grammar errors and any OOCness in the story. Thanks to Otaku Pitcher for the review and advice. (Sorry if I couldn't fix the dialogue I'm not too good at that part) anyhow on to the story…

Tasuki sat in bed cursing under his breath.

"Damnit Mits! Why can't you hurry up?" he vented pummeling his pillow with his good hand. "I've been here for two days already!"

He has sustained a broken ankle and arm, a shattered kneecap and a cut over his right eye that ended just before the line of his fiery red hair. Not to mention a few bruised ribs, the gash at the back of his head and multiple burns on his hands.

Someone knocked on the door.

"What the hell do you want?" he yelled at whoever it was.

"It's just Chichiri, no da."

 "Well come in then!"

Chichiri gently pushed open the door and entered, Kyari (thanking God she was so short) hiding behind him. The girl wasn't so sure it was such a brilliant idea to tag along after all. Chichiri went over to the side of the bed. "Feeling any better, no da?" he asked sympathetically.

"What do you think, idiot?" Tasuki snapped irritably.

Chichiri's eyes softened and Tasuki felt a little guilty for having yelled at him.

"Thanks for comin' by Chi-san." he said by means of apology.

Chichiri smiled. "Anytime, no da. It's what friends do." He hit his forehead "Oh yeah! Have you met Kyari yet, no da?"

"Who?"

"Kyari, no da." Chichiri repeated, stepping to the side so the girl wasn't behind him anymore "She came from another world, no da. I think the same one as Miaka."

Kyari went scarlet and waved a little.

Tasuki nodded to her. "I'm Tasuki. How'd you manage to get here?"

"Well, I fell through a book and then Chichiri found me and I've been following him around ever since." the girl answered shifting uneasily from foot to foot. Her wet trainers squished under her feet and Kyari stopped moving. She was a little intimidated by this foul-tempered young man and she really didn't want to attract too much attention to herself.

Chichiri looked at the girl. "Was the book glowing red, no da?" the monk asked curiously.

 "Yeah, at least at first. Then it turned kinda aqua-marineish." Kyari told him.

"Strange…" Tasuki murmured, shaking his head.

"Me?" Kyari asked, slightly miffed.

"Yeah that too." Tasuki answered looking her over.

Besides her navy capris and light blue top, Kyari had on a dark blue vest and a midnight bandana was just visible under her light brown hair. The girl stood about two feet shorter than Chichiri and blue-green eyes shone above a small scar that went from the bridge of her nose to just below her right eye.

"But I meant that all the seven seishi were found and we already have a Miko…so who the hell are you supposed to be?"

" How the bloody hell do I know! I just got here!" Kyari snapped back folding her arms across her chest.

Tasuki laughed and shot the girl an amused look. "You're alright, Kyari, for a girl I mean."

 Kyari blinked in confusion, then laughed a little. "You're okay too, for a guy with that kind of attitude I mean." she said looking the flame-haired young man straight in the eyes.

For a few seconds they stayed like that, staring into one another's eyes.

"Awww….So cute, no da." Chichiri teased.

"Ah, shut up!" Tasuki and Kyari said simultaneously.

The monk laughed. Suddenly there came a knock at the door.

"Yeah?" Tasuki said to whoever it was "What do you want?"

"It's Mitsukake." came a deep voice from behind the door.

"Well finally!" Tasuki muttered "Come in then!" he yelled to Mitsukake.

The healer pushed open the door and entered followed by a little white cat. Mitsukake was tall and had short, spiky black hair with crossed yellow and red bandanas around his forehead. He wore a yellow kimono-like coat over a navy sleeveless shirt, tied at the waist with a black material belt and black pants that reached to about an inch above his ankles. On his feet were what looked to Kyari like Tai-Chi slippers.

Kyari's eyes widened as Mits walked over to Tasuki and looked him over clinically.

"I can heal you." He said simply.

The doctor placed his hands on Tasuki's chest and closed his eyes. A faint red light glowed from under his left palm and a green light engulfed the injured young man. The cut on his forehead disappeared and after a minute the light receded and Tasuki swung his legs over the side of the bed.

"Thanks Mits. I owe you one." He said standing up and testing out his knee and ankle.

"Wicked." Kyari breathed , her eyes sparkling in wonder.

The kitten wandered over to the girl and she bent to pet its silky fur.

Chichiri smiled. "Looks like we have another animal lover on our hands, no da."

Kyari smiled face slightly red. "Yeah I guess you do… Who's the other one?"

"That'd be Mits." Tasuki said jerking his thumb in the general direction of the healer.

Mits smiled slightly and said "Yes. I'm quite fond of all animals but Tama-Neko here is my favorite."  he said as the kitten scampered over to him.

 He turned to Kyari "I'm sorry but I don't know your name."

"Oh. Sorry,  I'm Kyari." The girl said straightening up and inclining her head slightly.

A few silent seconds passed by and Kyari shivered. The water from the river had been cold and she was still soaked.

"We should get you dried off, no da." Chichiri said putting a hand on Kyari's shoulder and leading her out. They both turned and Chichiri grinned and said "See you later, na no da." while Kyari waved a little.

**** So whatcha think? Better? Worse? Tell me!!!!  I tried to fix it up a little but I couldn't think of much to add… maybe I'll try again some other time. Anyways see you next chapter!
