A/N: Many thanks to those that had reviewed my story & spoken to me via email. I am very grateful for your comments. Finally, when I have my own story, I know what it is like not to get any reviews. It really sucks. So everyone, please review! Thank you!

Here, I would like to credit The Spatula Chick for the name Chuei. I took the name from her unknowingly. However, I am changing the name Chuei to Churei. =) Also, I changed Emperor Shi-to's name to Shi-Ro instead. A friend laughed at the name Shito & I admit that it does suck. Please read the story Tasuki's Daughter because it is really a great story & The Spatula Chick is really a great author! =)

Sorry for not updating, I had been very busy with stuff. Ok, here's the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Fushigi Yuugi. They belong to Watase Yuu.

Yui

"No! No! Get away from me! Please! I beg of you… Please let me go… Let me go! Ahhh!!!" Yui woke up screaming.

"Miko! Are you all right?" guards stationed outside the Seiryuu no miko's room shouted.

"I'm fine. Nothing is wrong. Be alert." shouted Yui.

"Yes madam!" replied the guards.

Yui looked around & checked her surroundings. She sighed & relaxed when she saw that she was in her familiar room. She clenched her fists in anger when she thought of her dream. 'Damn it! It had been years since I last had that dream. I wonder why I dreamt of him again.'

With that thought, Yui stepped away from her bed & drew her nightclothes closer to her. She looked out of her window & marvelled at the big round moon just outside her room. 'I have not been watching the moon for so long now… ever since I had been named as the Seiryuu no miko. Thank goodness for that. I can't imagine how life would be for me had I not been chosen.' Yui shuddered at that thought.

She looked out of the window, lost in her thoughts.

"Seiryuu no miko!" shouted the guard outside the door.

"Yes?" asked Yui with a frown. 'What is it this time? Hadn't I sent that hideous monster into Konan as Emperor Pervot had ordered me to?' thought Yui angrily. She had not wanted to send that beast over knowing that it would be a waste of time & effort. However, no one ever dared to defy the emperor & Yui was no exception.

"Your majesty seeks your audience!" said the same guard.

Yui cursed under her breath & changed into her miko clothes. She pulled her blue sash tightly over her purple outer coat & made sure her clothes were secured before she left the room. Emperor Pervot was like what his name indicated. He was a pervert & a lecher to boot. Yui thought back to the time when she was still young. 'I really suffered a lot of humiliation back then. However, today my status is not as before. Not one can touch me this time.' She clenched her fists at this thought & left the sanctuary of her room.

Yui walked into the huge room where the emperor held most of the court sessions. "Ah… Seiryuu no miko! What a pleasure to see you today. It has been such a long time since I had last seen you. How beautiful have you grown!" exclaimed Emperor Pervot.

Yui gritted her teeth in response. She didn't trust herself to be pleasant & polite at this moment. "May I know how I may be a service to your majesty?" asked Yui.

Emperor Pervot smiled and said," I would like to know the extent of the damage we manage to wreck at Konan."

Yui winced. She knew that the emperor would not be pleased with her report. "Only a maid was killed. The crown prince of Konan is safe."

As she had predicted, Emperor Pervot grimaced & cursed. "What have you been doing then? Why did all our attacks fail? Are you really a miko of Seiryuu? Incompetence girl that you are!" shouted the Emperor.

Yui stood in front of the Emperor, calm & unperturbed. This was not the only time that attacks had failed & she was used to it. "I will seek out the divine's advice. Seiryuu's glow has been getting dimmer. It is advised that I leave Kutou as soon as possible for the other world." reported Yui.

Emperor Pervot nodded & dismissed Yui.

Yui walked along the cold corridors of the palace of Kutou. Kutou had always been a cold place for it was either winter or autumn here. She thought back to the wonderful days where she was young & stayed at the border near Konan & Kutou with Miaka. She stopped walking & snarled at the thought of Miaka.

'Miaka… you traitor! I swear that I will make you suffer the depths of agony that I had when you betrayed me! I will never forgive you!' Yui's eyes flared with an intense anger before she smoldered them over with cold eyes & walked into the temple of Seiryuu.

Outside the Seiryuu's temple, a cold bitter rain began. A small child wandered along the corridors of the temple. Suddenly a flash of lightning followed by a tremendous clap of thunder stunned the small child.

Inside the temple, Yui thought that she heard a child's whimpering. She stood up from her prayer & walked outside. She spotted a small girl crying & walked towards her. "Hey, you ok? What's wrong?" she asked the small girl. The small girl looked up towards Yui with vacant eyes & a scared expression. Yui bit her lips & tears slowly dropped from her eyes. 'Poor child. That hideous monster of an emperor! She must have been his latest toy. Bloody asshole. She looks barely 10! ' Yui hugged the small girl close to her body & walked towards her chamber. As she walked, she thought back of the days when she was just a toy in waiting & was not a miko.

~TBC~

A/N: Ok, this is about all. The next chapter won't be pretty so I am thinking of changing the rating. I know there is not much action but I need this chapter to explain Yui's character. As usual, I accept all criticism but would like to know why & I took out a lot of Jap terms coz some friends complained that they do not understand the terms. Explaining in the text itself looks funny so I stopped that. PLEASE REVIEW EVERYONE! ARIGATOU!
