I'm backies! This is a serious fiction now…so I'm gonna use a lot of nice big words! *Pause* Gonna is not a word, was it? Oops. ^_^;;; Anyway, I'm gonna … going to have many nice original characters. And I mess around with the characters a lot. This is going to be so much fun!
Seishi shrink away in horror.
Aw… come on, I'm not *that* bad.
As a vague note, I'm a big fan of word art. Not the computer program. You know…stuff like this -- ^_^, -*title*-
Names are also written in Japanese style, with the surname in front and the given name at the back.
The original name of the fiction sounded much nicer in Japanese, which is Sekai-juu Taisen. Heck, it even sounds better in Chinese! Which is shi jie zhong da zhan. I am amazed. My best language by far is English. And I can't translate the title nicely from Chinese, which is my second language and mother tongue, or even Japanese in which I have no formal learning. I am stunned.
I am also stunned that I have written an author's note in perfect, proper English.
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! THE WORLD IS ENDING!

Seven girls lounged around on the various roller chairs that dotted the Nanyo High Computer Lab. Five were glued to their computer screens, while another listened to music, and the last did splits on the floor.
"Ooh, lookie! A new Fushigi Yuugi site!" cried one of the girls who was using the computers. She turned around to jab one of her friends.
Her friend blinked sleepily before turning around to see what the girl was jabbering about. The others, however, paid no attention to the two fanatics.
The computer in use began to flash madly with a blinding white light, just as the first tremors of an earthquake reached the computer lab.
The second tremor came before any of the girls had time to react. A massive crack developed in the ceiling, and before any of them could call out, 2 tons of concrete and architecture fell onto them.
Three hours later, the rescuers verdict was that all seven were killed on impact. None could have survived, and indeed none did.
That was the first of the earthquakes that rocked in world in 2002.

The Empress of Sairo sighed. Her son would finally be able to return from Hanasaru village, where he had been sent to keep him safe from the continuous wars that had torn apart the once glorious nation of Sairo. A truce had just been agreed upon between the four countries, declaring that there would be no wars for two years.
[*Sigh* Two short years…]
The past years had been hard on her. After her husband had died, she had personally insisted on overseeing the country. And when the great wars had started, she had been in charge of deciding the strategies that Sairo would use against It's enemies.
[At least the Wars have been stopped for a while. Maybe we can come to an agreement before they are started again…]
She smiled in anticipation of seeing her child again.
[Byakuya-chan should be around 18 now…I really must try to find him a wife…]
She summoned a guard and told him to get her carriage ready. She would like to visit her people, the common people of Sairo.
[After all, a leader isn't a leader if he or she doesn't know what shape her followers are in…]
~-=*[^]*=-~
Hokori Kokuro weaved through the crowd in the market place, lugging an empty basket alongside.
[This is the only place where my height is useful…sheesh…being short is such a pain…]
Kokuro ducked as a woman waved her hand about, bargaining over the price of a fish, narrowly avoiding being hit. A flare of hostile ki from the rooftop alerted her, and Kokuro looked upwards, using her hand to shield her eyes from the hot midday sun.
A man covered in head to toe with black caught her attention. The only things visible were a pair of sky blue eyes.
Another shopper jabbed her in side and she lost track of where that mysterious person had gone. Her thoughts turned back to the more immediate task for her.
[I hate grocery shopping…]
"MAKE WAY FOR THE EMPRESS OF SAIRO!!!"
[The Empress of Sairo! Cool…]
Kokuro turned in the direction from where the voice had come, grocery shopping totally forgotten.
~-=*[^]*=-~
The Empress of Sairo, Tora Hikaru, glanced out of her covered palanquin. The commoners were doing quite okay, even though there was a war raging on. The food stalls were still selling a diverse selection of things, and the market was rather crowded.
[All good for the Sairo economy.] She though, with a slight smile of satisfaction.
She was distracted by a scream from one of her guards. She was about to open the thin curtain shielding her from the sun away to see what was wrong, when a spray of blood splattered across the curtain. She let the partially raised curtain drop and drew away in horror.
[I don't believe this…an assassination!? In broad daylight!?]
~-=*[^]*=-~
From her place in the crowd, Kokuro had seen the mysterious man suddenly leap off a roof and stand in front of the procession. With an almost negligent flick of his wrist, he used his ki and bent the guard's neck backwards. There was an audible snap and blood spurted out from the severed neck. The poor man barely had time to scream before his soul left his body, never to return.
Kokuro starred at the spectacle in disgust. She could feel hate building in her, searing her soul.
[Who does that guy think he is?]
The man next pointed his outstretched palm towards the empress's palanquin. An azure chi began to glow around it.
"NO!!!"
Without thinking Kokuro raised her hand up in the traditional ki throwing posture and directed her ki towards the assassin. She was aware of a stinging heat in her throat, and she felt herself grow stronger. With a sense of wonder she realised that she was surrounded by a white aura.
The man dressed in black collapsed to his feet. But Kokuro persisted, continuing to let the spiral pearl coloured ki flow from her fingertips. She realised that she was absorbing his energy, thereby leaving him weak and powerless. She was also getting stronger by the second.
When the man had bent over, gasping in horror, then did Kokuro finally stop, ceasing the flow of the deadly ki from her fingertips.
~-=*[^]*=-~
Tora Hikaru parted the curtain only to witness a girl single handily reduce the assassin to a weak quivering lump. The girl shifted out from the ki position, and the empress could clearly see the white symbol glowing brightly on her throat. She drew in her breath sharply.
['Wei'…Byakko no Shichi Seishi Kokie?!]
-~=*[ Tsudzuku ]*=~-
Notes:
You must read the author's note. It is very important.
The ki position – Feet together, one hand outstretched with fingers outstretched. It Is a very Nakago-ish position. I am going to be sick if I have to type the proper description out every single time I use it. So I shall call it the ki position! Why? Cause it's the key position to doing an attack with your ki.
Nyan Nyan: That was sooo corny.
I knew it was a bad idea to let you be my beta reader! Bad Nyan Nyan!
Nyan Nyan: I thought you were writing the story notes?
((BIFF))
Alrighty. No more Nyan Nyan. I can continue!
Japanese guide:
Hanasaru – Means Sand flower. The name of a village.

My name, Kokuro, means little black. That's not too bad since my sister is little pink and my brother is little purple. Plus Draconsis syas you guys are gonna see a lot of me in the future!

Kokuro: I'M A SEISHI!? WAH HEYYYYYYYYY-
((BIFF))
*Dusts off hands*
Yes, Hokori-san is a seishi. That's all the spoilers you are getting. And at the risk of sounding like an idiot, i put her symbol on the throat, instead of on her stomach. Why? Because in Chinese acupuncture, a main life force/ki channel is the blood vein on the throat.
And putting the symbol for stomach on the stomach is just a bit too much…
Anyway, can you guys please read and review? *Puppy dog eyes*
Pretty please with a cherry on top and whipped cream and chocolate fudge?
Pleaseeeeeeeee…
Nyan Nyan: I think they get the idea.
OUT! OUT OF MY BRAIN I SAY!
Nyan Nyan: You have a brain?
You are so dead.
