Chapter 2
It was a peaceful day in Konan, as the Emperor Hotohori made his daily little walk around the palace grounds. Though the sun was high and golden in a sky of pale blue, he was distraught at heart. His dear precious love was no longer within his reach, and oh! how he missed her so. It had been a year since he had seen dear Kristin, and every day passing made his heart grow heavier. When would he see her again? When would fate intervene?
Well, Fate was playing pool with Luck at the moment, and if Fate won this game . . .
"Your Highness!" came a low feminine voice from behind him.
Hotohori turned to Nuriko, a consort of high position at the Palace. At her arm was Tamafro, who's ridiculous costume and hair always made him stand out among the citizens of Konan. They all knew him by that hair . . . and that outfit.
In the year that had passed many things had happened. After the dear Priestess of Suzaku was taken back to her world, all the celestial warriors were left with one wish. Hotohori had not used his yet, but Nuriko had, and the cross-dressing male was now a true woman, and Tamafro was her man. Tamafro's wish got him a large recording studio in which he started his pop- singing career. He's Ancient China's number one pop-singer, with his big hit single, "Just wanna do the 'fro." With his studio he makes many CDs a day and plenty of music videos. All his songs capture the moments of his life ever since he became Tamafro.
Chichiri the monk resided now at the Palace as an advisor to Hotohori. He is now a devout student of Naiidoska, and he has not made his wish yet, either.
Tasuki the bandit went back to the CMB and wished for their wealth and fortune. They are now the leading and biggest producers of cheez it crackers in the whole world. Their cheez its are considered the best out of a world wide taste test.
Mitsukake is a residential doctor of Konan, and his wish brought him wealth and fortune for his medicinal work. Tama the cat met Fofo the cat and they now have three kittens named Georgie, Porgie, and Billy-Bobette.
Chiriko is in school now, and resides in the Palace, where he also advises Hotohori and hopes to replace Official Number One in the future.
Number Two fell down and broke his leg. He blames this on Number Four for leaving his skateboard out after dark, where Number Two could obviously not see it and trip and fall down the stairs because of it. He, too, wants to replace Number One, but Numbers Four and Three are determined to prevent that from happening.
Number Five is trying to persuade Hotohori on making Number Two the Official to hold the umbrella over Hotohori's throne.
"Your Highness," Nuriko said, as we finally go back to the story, "you look so glum. What's wrong?"
"Just thinking. of Kristin, of course," he said, with a sigh.
"Don't worry about it," Tamafro said, "you haven't even used your wish yet. Perhaps you'll have Kristin back sooner than you think."
"I don't think that's a wish Suzaku will grant for me," Hotohori said glumly just as Chichiri and Chiriko raced down the hall, knocking over Number Two and coming up to Hotohori and the others.
"Your highness!" Chichiri panted. "I just got word . . . from Naiidoska . . . we have to go to Mt. kikikikikiki where his Temple lays, no da. It's an emergency he says, no da!"
"An Emergency?" Nuriko asked, "ooh, I wonder what happened?"
"We have to gather all the celestial warriors at once," Chiriko spoke up. "This concerns us all . . ."
"But especially you," Chichiri said, " . . . and Tasuki."
"Uh-oh," Tamafro said. "Now what's that guy done?"
"This doesn't sound good," Hotohori said. "Let us gather the others and go to Mt. kikikikikiki and go to Naiidoska, fast!"
With that, they all parted, getting ready for the emergency run to Mt. Kikikikiki.
Back in Kutou . . .
Boboshi Three sat on the throne, looking down on his loyal subjects. Yes, Boboshi Three was made Emperor, and he proved to be a fine Emperor indeed. The land was full of milk and honey, but most importantly, cheez its.
Not surprisingly, Nakago is still General. There have been no wars, so he's gotten a bit sluggish. He complains it's very boring at the Palace, no matter how many times Tomo tries to cheer him up.
The twins have gone off on their separate ways. Amiboshi used his wish and now owns his own music conservatory, where he praises the flute players above all else. There are no tubas allowed in his school, though. Suboshi's wish got him the biggest yo-yo collection in the world. He can do the around-the-world trick better than anyone else. He lives with Amiboshi, who supports the both of them.
With the Priestess gone, Soi has tried to get her move back on Nakago. She even stooped so low as to use her wish to get him back, but ended up wasting it on a new outfit. The outfit's barely an outfit, and she keeps hoping that her much exposed self will make it's way into Nakago's heart. She has replaced Boboshi One.
Ashitare is . . . somewhere out there.
Tomo . . . ask Kailein about that one.
Miboshi works at the Palace, and has gotten himself quite famous in Kutou. He expels demons and his wish has gotten him the coolest of all demons: it looks like a horse with two large horns and wings. It stands six feet tall, and can run faster than the average horse. He spends many afternoons by his lonesome, riding his demon, named Bill, among the fields outside Kutou. His heart still yearns for dear Makiko, and he always prays that she shall come back for him soon.
Everyone makes fun of Tomo for having a kid. Poor Tomo!
Naiidoska decided to pay a visit to Boboshi Three that afternoon, and he told his Highness the same thing he had told Chichiri.
"I need the Celestial Warriors at my Temple which lays atop Mt. Kikikikiki. It's an emergency!"
Then, with a POP! he vanished.
Now, Boboshi Three looked upon the warriors who resided still in the Palace. "We will need to get in contact with those twins . . . and that Ashitare, there are reports he was traveling with a circus and was last seen on the Northern border of our land. Soi, why don't you go get him?"
"Me?" Soi said. "But it's so cold up there!"
"Then put some damn clothes on," Nakago growled.
"Soi, you are dismissed on that mission," Boboshi Three said. There was no point for her to argue. He was the Emperor now.
"Miboshi, won't you go to the Twins and tell them this news? If it's an emergency, then by gosh, it's an emergency!" Miboshi nodded and left the room.
"Nakago . . ."
"I know, I know," he said, "Tomo."
"Yeah," Boboshi Three said. "Good luck with that one."
And thus, the gathering of celestial warriors began, for both Suzaku and Seriyu as a new mission and crises was now on hand.
