Do do doooo!! These are really short chapters, so you get three today… and tomorrow you get to see the ultimate discovery of Kori!!! Tomorrow! The moment we've all waited (so patiently) for… and I'm quite grateful, btw…
No disclaimer, you know the drill… I really just want to get these chapters edited and posted today…
Chapter Sixteen: The Treacherous Tune
"What!? Only three wishes!?" Miaka gasped. Then quite suddenly, Kori dashed into the room.
"Wish for your lives!" she shouted dramatically. She bent over to catch her breath "He's... he's...!"
"He's what, Kori? Who?"
"Tasuki's back!" A suddenly very energetic and fully cured Tasuki had just trampled on Tamahome (Go Tasuki!!). "Thanks t'all you fans out there waitin' fer my return—"
"Watch it!" Tamahome shouted, taking Tasuki by the collar. "That hurt!"
Tasuki chuckled lightly. "Eh? Oh, Tamahome! I didn't know you were on the floor… I gotta be more careful what I stomp on."
"Tasuki's recovered." Chichiri turned to Mitsukake and seemed to glare through his mask. "Your doing, Mitsukake? No da?"
"Yup," Mitsukake nodded guiltily.
"I was definitely more peaceful before his recovery…" Kori noted aloud.
"What'd you say!?! Yer s'posed to be on my side!" Tasuki shouted back.
"I don't get it." Nuriko had just entered and had stopped an upcoming fight. He was looking at a small crystal.
"What is it, Nuriko?" Mitsukake asked.
"Hey, you remember how Taiitsukun gave us the crystal ball to find Suzaku's Warrios when the Universe of the Four Gods was missing?"
Chichiri nodded. Nuriko held out the crystal. "It's doing it again. And the character means knowledge."
"It's probably broken." Kori said. "We have all seven Celestial Warriors now."
"Yeah. You're probably right!" Nuriko agreed quickly.
"Of course. Why the hell else does everybody like me?" Kori laughed.

"I can't believe you guys are finally going to summon Suzaku!" Kori grinned and played with the small reed in her hands. She was laying on the bed in Miaka's room, and the two were happily chatting whilst (such a cool word…) Miaka prepared for the summoning.
"I can't wait! Say… when we get back, is there any way I can reach you?" Miaka turned to Kori, who smiled and waved her hand around.
"I'll give you my e-mail address. I think the attendant wants you now, though." Kori pointed to the attendant, who was standing quite impatiently by the door of Miaka's huge room.
"Hey! Wish me luck!"
"Good luck!" Kori waved as Miaka's disappeared through the door.
"Do you wish to see the summoning?" another attendant, one Kori had befriended recently, asked.
"Hell yeah!" Kori grinned childishly as the two scuffled down the hall. They chose a good spot where no sound could be heard, but the view was great.
"They'll do the incantation, then Suzaku will appear," the attendant stated officially. She had apparently studied such things, as she continued rambling. Kori ignored her and watched the scene below.
Miaka was finally prepared, and she put her fingers together and chanted something. Everybody stood around, waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. Kori watched as Chiriko suddenly put his flute to his lips.
"That's…" Kori struggled to remember a picture she was forming in her brain. It was from the comic book from… how long ago was it? "Amiboshi!"
"What!?" the attendant asked, but Kori was already running to stop the boy. She had just reached the door when it flew open. She went to stop Amiboshi, but he took his flute and rammed her as hard as he could. She fell backwards and could only stand in time to see everybody emerge.
***
Stupid Amiboshi… no! I like Amiboshi! He's cool, just not here…
Well, I'm not even going to bother with my other junk—well, yeah, I am.
