Notes from the cabbit: Konyananichiwa! Copy cabbit again! So…what do you think? Sorry to end with a cliffhanger, but it was for the best, wasn't it? I know I don't have to, being that I've already stated these things in earlier stories, but here are the general disclaimers. Fushigi Yuugi belongs to Yuu Watase. Legend of Dragoon belongs to Sony. Anything else either belongs to me, or I'm just too damn lazy to say who it belongs to. Now…let's get this party started!

Chapter 2: Marriage to Himeko, no da!

"Nani, no da!?" Chitochori exclaimed.

Himeko sighed. "Didn't you hear me the first time? We're gonna get married!" she said.

"N-now, no da!?" Chitochori asked.

Himeko shook her head. "Of course not," she said. "There's plenty to be done in preparation. For example, I have to have someone send me my dress, we'll need caterers, and we also have to get my family to come."

"Nani, no da? Your family, no da?" Chitochori asked.

Himeko nodded. "Yes, my family. The King and Queen of Basil, Lavitz and Midori (Himeko is Albert's granddaughter. You'd kinda think that Albert and Emille would name their son Lavitz. Oh, and Midori is Meru and Guahara's daughter, which makes Himeko half-Wingly)," she said. She then clapped her hands. "All right, I'll go make the preparations!"

Chitochori sweatdropped. He was going to be in so much trouble when Hotohori came back…

A few days, no make that the next day, Himeko corrected, the wedding took place. Amazingly enough, a large crowd had gathered to see the emperor finally get married. In all actuality, they were happy for Himeko, the soon-to-be Empress of Konan, but they would have been happy if a three-headed monster had married Hotohori. Anyone but Nuriko, they told themselves. Himeko wore her royal dress that day, the dress looking exactly like Princess Garnet's. The tiara looked the same, too, except there was a veil attached. For some odd reason, Himeko kept silently laughing like a madman.

"If anyone has a reason as to why these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace," the minister said.

No one spoke, not because they didn't have any objections, but rather, they were frightened at the sight of Himeko wielding a very large hammer. The minister went on. "If nobody has any objections, then I now pronounce you Emperor and Empress. You may now kiss the bride."

Himeko leaned towards Chitochori, prepared to kiss him, when all of a sudden, Chitochori pointed at an area behind the crowd. "Look, no da! It's Melbu Frahma, no da!" he shouted.

"Nani!?" Everyone in the crowd, including Himeko, turned around to find…nothing! When they all turned back, they found that Chitochori was gone, and in his place was a kesa. Quickly, not wanting any witnesses, Himeko got back out the piece of paper she was writing the story on, and quickly erased the part about the crowd being there. The crowd disappeared, as did Himeko, as she put on the kesa.

Chitochori nervously glanced around as he appeared in the royal library. "Himeko won't find me here, no da," he told himself. Just then, Himeko appeared, once again dressed as Meru, holding both her hammer and the kesa.

"I believe this is yours?" she asked, holding up the kesa. Chitochori gulped, and nodded shakily.

"H-hai," he said, taking the kesa from Himeko.

Himeko balanced the hammer on her shoulders as she glared at Chitochori. "Well…?" she asked.

"Well what, no da?" Chitochori asked.

"What was the meaning of leaving me behind?" Himeko asked.

"Anou…I would have taken you with me if you had asked," Chitochori lied.

Himeko continued to glare at Chitochori, who was now looking for all possible escape routes. But Chitochori didn't really need to, as the real Hotohori had just come in, along with Nuriko, Miaka, Tama-chan, Tamahome, and new part member Taski. Himeko instantly ran over to the real Hoto-chan. "Hoto-chan! Kawaii hito (Darling!)" she exclaimed.

Hotohori blinked a few times before he recognized the girl glomping him. "Nani? Hime-chan?" he asked.

Nuriko recognized Himeko, too. "Ryuno-san," he muttered.

"Anou…what are you doing here?" Hotohori asked.

Himeko grinned. "You always said that when I returned, we'd get married," she said.

*flashback*

*Chibi Himeko and Chibi Hotohori are playing on the swing set. They are happily swinging, when all of a sudden, Chibi Himeko stops. *

Chibi Hotohori: Nani? Daijoubu, Hime-chan?

Chibi Himeko: I have to go away soon…I won't ever be able to see you again. *cries*

Chibi Hotohori: Don't cry, Hime-chan. I'm sure you'll come back one day.

Chibi Himeko: *stops crying* Really? Do you think you'll be emperor of Konan when I return?

Chibi Hotohori: Yup. And when you do return, I'll make you my empress.

Chibi Himeko: *eyes widen* Really? *hugs Chibi Hotohori* Arigatou, Hoto-chan! Don't forget!

Chibi Hotohori: Why?

Chibi Himeko: *gets out her hammer* Because if you do, I'll kill you…

*end flashback*

Hotohori blinked once again as he remembered. "Demo…I was 8 years old! I didn't mean it!" he said.

Nuriko glared at Hotohori. "Nani? I don't' seem to remember you promising anything," he said.

Hotohori glanced nervously between Nuriko and Himeko. "Anou…Hime-chan, why don't we all have dinner, and forget all about this?" he asked.

Himeko grinned and shook her head. "Too late," she said. She pointed at Chitochori, who was now just Chichiri. "Thanks to Chiri-chan, I'm now Empress!" she exclaimed happily.

"Nani, no da!? How did you know I wasn't Hotohori, no da!?" Chichiri asked.

Himeko shrugged. "Plenty of ways. For one, Hoto-chan never says 'no da'. Second, Hoto-chan always is admiring himself. And finally, Hoto-chan would have fled the country by now as soon as I had arrived," she said.

Chichiri blinked. "So you knew all along, no da?" he asked.

Himeko nodded. "Hai. Arigatou, Chiri-chan," she said.

Nuriko was extremely furious. "NANI!?" he exclaimed.

Tama-chan, who had been hanging on to Tamahome throughout this entire ordeal, grinned at the mention of 'marriage'. "Do you remember the promise you made me?" she asked.

Now it was Miaka's turn to be furious. "NANI!?"

To be continued…
