HELLO MINNA! As promised, I have written very fast this time!!! It's the year-end school holidays here in Singapore, so I should have plenty of time to write! Except that our schoolteachers are mean and they gave us homework. Even when next year it will probably be a different teacher taking us! *Fume fume*
But there's something that might prevent me from writing… You see, during early December, I will be going to…
*Whisper* Japan.
*Quietly sneaks off before any one murders her*

Review response:
Otaku Pitcher: Nope, I'm not giving up even if this takes me till next year! ^_^ And I won't think about what would have happened if you hadn't understood why they had to die… *room temperature drops by a few degrees* Kowaii… And is it really that good? ^^;;; Arigato! As for Chichiri and Tasuki… You'll just have to read on to find out! ~_^
Faerie_X: As you probably read on, Miaka and Yui will (automatic sensor as Draconsis nearly gives away spoilers for her own fic). But you know… ^_^;;; (stupid censor machine…-_-;;;)
Kai: I'm still very much alive, and no thanks to having your sword run through me. P.S.: I told you it would be up by Friday ne? *Horrendously smug look*

A Draconsis Fanfiction
The Great Wars of The World
~ Flowers of the Sands Arc / Sabure no Hana Enko ~
[Chapter 09 – A white flower on top of red sand]
A white flower on top of red sand
Directly beneath a small swaying shadow
Of a flock of birds inside the palace
By all means, by all means, be happy
By all means, by all means, be happy
~ Arai Akino: Red Sand, White Flower
"Caution. Rabid wolves in the area." Byakuya said in a flat voice.
And then the wolves were upon them.
The pack leapt forward as one, yellow fangs bared, bloodthirsty lust in their rabid eyes. Howls tore through the evening air, black shapes intent on the kill. The lean shapes swooped forward, tails streaming behind them in their dash.
Byakuya flicked knives at the approaching wolves, the spinning motion sometimes injuring more than one wolf. Another knife flew straight into the heart of its target, which crumpled to the ground with an anguished howl. Knives soon exhausted, he drew a short blade from a hidden scabbard and resumed the fight, hacking at the relentless attackers.
Broadsword flashing, Saihitei spun through the melee, expertly carving apart the furry shapes. Murky red blood soon stained his clothes, spurting forth from the wolves he injured. Every blow from the broadsword struck home with its intended target, and soon corpses littered the ground around him.
Ryuuen punched and kicked at any wolves that came within striking distance, leaving the unconscious wolves to Kokie, who absorbed their ki and shot it back at the approaching assailants. The two were making short work of the pack members that dared to approach them, but the wolves continued to rush forward, fangs and claws bared.
Amefuri slashed at approaching wolves with her Fan-sword, though they often evaded her sword strokes. She was not as good as Saihitei, but flows of wind sharpened into blades made up for her lack of swordsmanship. The Windblades swirled around her, acting as both an attack and a shield. The wolves were at a lost to battle an enemy they could not see, but they still forged ahead, despite the onslaught.
Subaru stayed back in the protective circle the group had formed around the sign, a method of protecting each other's backs so as to face the threat of the wolves. Not knowing any fighting techniques, she did not participate in the battle, but fingered her scroll, hoping for a sudden insight as to how it would work. She would yell out if any wolf came dangerously close to someone who had not noticed it, serving as an extra pair of eyes for the whole group.
More wolves appeared for every wolf the group cut down, apparitions that slunk out of the terrain, lured on by the howls of a hunt. Though the group cut down many wolves, the endless stream of lupines would have given a group double their size problems.
It appeared that there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
-~=*[^]*=~-
Ryuuken Kiako sped after her dog, the animal finally finding the cat that had stolen their lunch. Pochi had gone berserk when the animal had stolen its fish, and had leapt off into the grass after the feline.
Pochi had an excellent sense of smell and was a good tracker, but the feline was fleet footed despite the carp in its mouth, and it scampered straight as a die in one direction. They had lost it several times, but as soon as they found it again, Pochi-inu would bound right after it, barking madly the whole way.
Kiako suddenly sensed many life forms in the direction where the cat was headed. Too many to be a group of travelers, the number suggested something like a small army. But as she got closer, she soon managed to differentiate a horde of animals, and only six humans.
Another few meters and she was able to feel the malignant presence of wolves. Leaving Pochi to his own quest, she drew her twin one-bladed swords and rushed to aid the travelers.
-~=*[^]*=~-
"CHIBI-NEKO!" Amefuri cried as the cat bounded into the fray, dropping what looked like a fish rather carefully on the ground before sinking its claws into the nearest wolf. The wolf barely had time before a full-grown white tiger savagely bit off its neck, and the head still bore a stunned expression as it dropped lifeless to the ground.
The tiger mowed down many wolves, the white fur soon stained with the blood of wolves. Saihitei had paused slightly to gap, however he soon turned back into the fray. Ryuuen looked stunned, but a less-than-delicate smack from Kokie made sure his attention would now be fully on the attacking wolves. Byakuya didn't even raise an eyebrow.
Looking closely at her scroll, several things suddenly clicked in Subaru's mind. A white glow surrounded her, and she flung the scroll at the wolves, her Seishi symbol blindingly bright. The scroll spun in midair, vanishing in a ball of ivory light that formed into the outline of a wolfhound, which joined the fray with a howl of its own. Despite being only an outline, the wolfhound bit at the wolves with every ounce of the ferocity of a real wolfhound. Subaru looked rather pleased with herself.
Panting slightly, Ryuuen backed up against Kokie, before punching the lights out of another wolf. "Is it me, or have the wolves stopped coming?" he asked.
Indeed, the wolves had stopped emerging from the sandy terrain, but a rather large group still remained, looking every bit as ferocious as their predecessors. An hour's worth of fighting did not look as if it was in vain.
"KIAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~~~~~~!" A human figure leapt into the skirmish, swords flashing. He or she was followed by a sable four-legged figure, barking madly as it accompanied its owner.
Byakuya jerked up a little at the rather unique battle cry. [Yanagi Kendo?] The Willow Swordsmanship, a reclusive sect, was the only one that used such a battle cry, not to mention the double Katanas, a specialty of that sect.
The twin swords blazed through the wolves, the blade in the right hand wrapped in white cord, while the one in the swordswoman's left hand wrapped in black cord. The group could now clearly see that it was a girl of around seventeen who wielded the blades, and she struck with a skill to match Saihitei's. An incandescent white light shone from her left wrist.
With the sudden added firepower, the wolves were soon slain, the virus in them causing them to attack relentlessly despite their clear defeat. Within a few minutes of the swordswoman's arrival, the wolves had been defeated, and each of them now a corpse lying lifelessly on the ground. The battlefield was stained with blood, crows and other carrion birds circling above, their wing tips highlighted in the crimson glow of the sunset. The fight had taken the better part of an hour and a half, and the group had scratches on various limbs.
Kiako blinked as images flew through her mind, of times in another world. She looked at her close friends, still the same in this world yet different. She opened her mouth. "Oi, Ko-chan, Sei-chan, Kui-"
She was cut off by Kokie who covered her mouth with her hand, and the three Seishi formed a wall, blocking Kiako from Byakuya, Saihitei and Ryuuen. The former three gave the Seishi blank looks.
"Hora-" Ryuuen began.
Amefuri spun around, giving the three guys her best 'innocent' smile. "Betsuni." She turned around again, intent on helping Kokie and Subaru explain to Kiako their current situation. She seemed to be getting the general idea.
Byakuya retrieved various knives from several of the bodies, wiping them carefully on a piece of cloth taken from the saddlebags. Once clean, they disappeared down the sleeves of his overcoat.
Saihitei strode up and tapped him on the shoulder. "Byakuya-kun, I feel you neglected to mention something." He gestured towards the Seishi, where the occasional smack and murder threat could be heard.
Byakuya eyed the Seishi before turning back to Saihitei. "That they really are the Seishi and not just a bunch of demented females with the names of Seishi?" Saihitei nodded gravely.
"Oh." Byakuya shrugged and turned towards the horses, intent on continuing the journey. "Oops."
Ryuuen wore a slightly pained expression. "Byakuya, is there anything else you didn't tell us?"
Byakuya though for a while before turning back to the Suzaku reincarnations. "As a matter of fact…"
-~=*[^]*=~-
Since Subaru had conjured up a horse for Toroki, the group was able to arrive back at the capital in two days time. They had made their way back to the palace, and now they were walking up the long flight of steps and flat landings built into the slope that led up to the Jade Building, the main building of the Sairo Palace.
Ryuuen look poleaxed, alternating between gawking at his surroundings and shooting more disbelieving glances at Byakuya. Saihitei strode regally up the steps, but Byakuya caught the occasional mumble of surprise from the sepia haired swordsman. He paid no attention to the Seishi bringing up the rear, Amefuri apparently having been smacked after making a corny joke about the steps.
They finally reached the last landing, pausing in front of the vast Whitestone doors that would lead into the arrival chamber. The shock hadn't really worn off from Subaru, Toroki, Saihitei and Ryuuen. At a snap of Byakuya's fingers, several white-and-black liveried servants appeared out of recesses beside the gate.
"Please escort Sennatsu-san and Miharu-san to the Rain Cloud guest wing, and assist Subaru-Seishi and Toroki-Seishi in installing themselves in the Byakko Shrine. Assist them in freshening up, and later lead them to" There was a slight pause, "the Crimson Chamber, yes that would be best." Byakuya turned, and the doors, finally unbolted, opened soundlessly.
He turned around to one of the servants who was rushing further into the palace. "I will see the Empress first." The servant paused, nodded, and then sped on.
-~=*[^]*=~-
"Announcing the arrival of his esteemed highness, Tora Byakuya of House Tora, heir to the Jade Throne, Prince of the Sands, Protector of the West, Watcher of the Tiger Seals, and Light of Sairo." The fully armored guard at the entrance to the Grand Hall announced in a loud, booming voice. Byakuya winced at each individual title. It was a rather long mouthful, and he was quite sure the entire palace had heard it.
The guard's counterpart on the left of the entrance took up the last part of the announcement. "You are in the presence of her majesty, Tora Hikaru, High Seat of House Tora, Jade Empress, Queen of the Land, Guardian of the West, Keeper of the Tiger Seals, and Eternal light of Sairo."
Tora Hikaru sat straighter in the throne carved of a single piece of white jade. In other parts of China, green jade was considered precious, but in Sairo, it was white jade that was considered precious. However, the gem merchants still made a substantial profit each year, as Sairo was rich in both white, green, and green or white veined jade. The throne she sat on was carved out of the largest pure white jade ever unearthed, giving rise to the Saironian throne being called the Jade Throne.
She smiled as her son, and future Emperor of Sairo, walked nearer to the throne before bowing to her. She rose regally to her feet, and with her calm voice she declared the day's audience at an end.
As mother and son walked towards the Autumn Wind wing, where the royal apartments were, Byakuya raised several points that he had been meant to ask her before. The first of which happened to be the extremely long official title of the crown prince.
Empress Tora smiled and used her firmest voice on her son. "But it would sound so much less formal. It's also rather impressive."
Out of the corner of her eye she could see Byakuya look a trite stricken and she hastily smothered a laugh. Of course his friends could stay for a while. Maybe she could even wean something out of them; important states secrets and the like. Maintaining a top-notch spy system was hard work, but she was a little out of practice at gleaning information. A little recreation wouldn't hurt.
-~=*[^]*=~-
From where Kazashimo Kagerou sat, she could see all of the stars known to astrologers of her tribe. In the west, the seven constellations of Byakko shone as brightly as ever, Amefuri-boshi, Kokie-boshi, Subaru-boshi and Toroki-boshi being particularly bright. The Dragon constellation, the Tiger constellation and the Dog constellation also shone dazzlingly tonight, what the astrologers of her tribe would probably interpret as a sign of amazing things to come. However, the best forger of the Sougen Tribe was more interested in star metal. Star metal that fell from the stars, and produced the best weapons ever known to humankind, other than weapons given by the gods.
Two sparks of red light and one spark of blue light appeared in midair, roughly a mile or two from where she was. They gently floated down to earth, unlike the breathtaking displays of the comets that had given this plain it's name. The Shooting Star Plains, famous for spectacular astral displays, and equally famous for the amount of star metal collected each year.
She called to her brother, and then spurred her mount into action. Despite the unusual falling pattern of those comets, they could still be star metal. Other watchers may have seen the star metal as well, and she was eager to reach it first. That was why she was astride one of the fastest stallions her tribe had bred. The Sougen Tribe was famous for their horses of legendary speed and build. Even the worst bred horse could go for a hefty sum in any Sairo city, and would still beat the champion horses there. Unless they were Sougen horses as well. Or a good horse from any one of the other horse breeding tribes on the plains.
As she neared the landing point, what she found was not star metal, but rather two women and one man, garbed in attire not of this world. One of the women had yellow hair, like other Saironians descended from the Hin Tribe, refugees from Kuto. The other woman had red hair tied up neatly, and the man she was fussing over had teal blue hair.
Of course the Sougen tribe would give them food and lodging. It was only natural after all; the Sougen Tribe was also famous for their hospitality. That and the horses was probably the only thing they had in common with their Hokkan counterparts.
-~=*[^]*=~-
Byakko stared very hard at his giant monitor screen before letting loose with every single one of the vilest curses he remembered. Rokou winced at each word, before giving up entirely and making his escape before Byakko-Seikun did something drastic.
"Those mangy lil… Oooh, when I get my claws into them…" Byakko snarled a few more epitaphs before teleporting off in search of Taiitsukun. Even the old hag would not pardon something like this. Dropping their Mikos smack into his territory, not to mention near his Seishi!
-~=*[^]*=~-
In a swirl of white light, he reappeared in front of Taiitsukun.
"Oh, the kitty cat is here." A sarcastic voice from the shadows drawled out. Genbu-Seikun emerged from the shadows off to Taiitsukun's right, dressed formally in green and brown brocade.
"Yamero, Genbu." The watcher of the universe called out from her perch on thin air. The Nyan Nyans, sensing the dangerous atmosphere, had disappeared. Taiitsukun turned to Byakko. "What do you want?"
"Suzaku and Seiryu have just dropped their Mikos into the Shooting Star Plains, which just happens to be in Sairo. There is also a Suzaku Seishi there." This ticked Byakko off to no end. What happened to their previous agreement to at least tell each other that a Seishi or Miko was going into another's territory?
"Oro oro, then what about the two in your palace, hm?" Genbu lazily asked. "Overlooking the sword behind you to focus on the army thousands of miles in front?"
"Genbu, do the world a favor. Shut up." Byakko spat out through clenched teeth. If he wasn't careful, that accursed-
"Tsk tsk, Byakko. Swishing your tail at another Seikun now, are we?" Genbu pointed out the one non-human part on Byakko. Each of the beast gods had kept one part of their beast forms on their human bodies, Suzaku keeping his wings, Seiryu the dragon ears, and himself the shell. Byakko just happened to pick the tail.
Byakko stepped firmly on his tail, which more often than not, seemed to have a mind of it's own. "Genbu, one of these days…"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Taiitsukun practically yelled at the two gods. Both of them stopped, but one could still feel the sparks of hatred in the air. "Both of you will do back to your respective abodes, and that is that."
"But-" Byakko spluttered.
"Give it a rest, Kitty." After delivering his parting barb, Genbu vanished in a flash of green light.
Byakko fumed for a few seconds before teleporting back to his own residence. The turtle was up to something, and all he could do was to set up various safeguards. As for Suzaku and Seiryu's Mikos and Seishi, well, if they wanted them back they could jolly well come begging for them.
-~=*[^]*=~-
Hikitsu stood at the window of her room in the Hokkan palace, watching the snowflakes falling softly onto the palace garden below. Snow and ice, her powers given to her by Genbu-Seikun. And suddenly, it came again.
Fire, burning everywhere. A green painted beam fell across the hallway, trapping her inside. There was no way to get out, and she could not turn back. Voices called a forgotten name, searching or crying out for her.
The wall behind her exploded in a shower of stone, and then a man was there. He grabbed her hand, and they both jumped through the hole in the wall. His sword flashed as he cut through other dim shapes, a sword held in his left hand, made of some metal that glinted green.
He passed her to a woman, huddled near a door. "Hakone-san, have you seen Fuyu?" he asked, panting from his earlier exertions.
"Iya, Heika-sama. But I heard that Ouji-sama was last seen near the throne room." The lady bundled her in warm clothes, protecting her from the cold outside.
"That idiot." The man's sword flew to him from where he had placed it on the ground. He ran off in the direction they had come, sword gleaming dangerously. "Hakone-san, bring her to safety." The lady holding her nodded frantically.
"Hayaku, hayaku." The lady urged her out of the door, and they ran across a courtyard filled with gnarled trees. She noticed an extremely gnarled one in the corner, partially hidden by a wall. They ran through a twisted metal gate, and then ran further and further away from the burning building.
Then everything went dark.
A palace maid bringing in more tea jerked Hikitsu back to reality. The Genbu Seishi nodded to the girl, who placed the teapot and cups onto the table in the middle of the room. As she turned away from the window, a reflection in the glazed celadon vase beside the window caught her eye.
An extremely gnarled tree, partially hidden by a wall.
-~=*[^]*=~-
It was after dinner, and Byakuya sat in a corner of the Crimson Chamber, watching the Seishi from a corner of his eye. They didn't seem to be anything like what Byakko Den described the previous Seishi as, not at all. The legend of the previous Byakko no Miko lay open on the table in front of him, the unabridged version. This group acted more like those women from the harem his mother had acuminated, laughing, joking, and in their case, smacking each other. He winced inwardly. It was going to be a very long and excruciating life for him.
"Chibi-neko!"
The cat they had brought along leapt onto the table, just out of reach of the canine that accompanied Toroki. Dog and cat had been at it tooth and nail since the encounter with the wolves, which Byakuya had prudently toned down during the retelling. If Tora-sama ever got any idea just how many wolves there had been, he would never be allowed out of the palace again. At least, not without a hundred or so guards and the full seven Seishi.
"Pochi!" Toroki grabbed her dog and firmly held him under wraps as Subaru retrieved the spitting feline from the tabletop.
It was hard to believe that all four of them got along so well, so fast. Maybe they had met before… yeah, right. Byakuya flipped to the next page in Byakko Den and continued to read.
The Seven Seishi of Byakko truly were the Flowers of the Sands, blooming for only a short while as such flowers did, but blooming beautifully so all could see their glory. They bloomed amongst the common folk, who are numerous like the sand, but their courage, bravery and determination set them apart. Even after the Byakko no Miko had left, the seeds these Seven had sown gave life to more who would follow in their footsteps, for the peace and prosperity of Sairo.
-~=*[^]*=~-
"And so it will come to pass that the Seven Stars of Byakko, Genbu, Suzaku and Seiryu will once again be gathered during a time of war and strife, and these twenty eight stars will return the gods to their heavenly palaces so peace can once more walk freely on the earth. Byakko and Genbu will usher in a new generation, while Suzaku and Seiryu continue the legends long believed ended. Alliances will form and be betrayed, prophecies will be fulfilled or shown as gibberish, and this world and the other will be shaken by what shall and will occur. But if good shall prevail or evil triumph, that is dependant on the hearts of the stars.
What we see, we see true, and the world should ready itself for a new legend that will unfold."
