Miaka lay dreaming about Julia. She wondered what it would be like
to have a replacement for Nuriko. Would Julia be the kind of person you
could wake up at three in the morning because you wanted someone to talk
to? Or would she be completely different? She knew Julia would be a
woman, unlike Nuriko, but there was something that didn't seem quite right
about that. She didn't know why.
Three girls shed in blood with arrows on their backs, bows in their hands, and swords strapped to their hips, walked over to the well. The blood they were shed in was not their own. Rather, it was the blood of Koutu spies that had been mercilessly slaughtered by the girls. Instead of being upset, they were laughing like small children. They were talking, joking, and singing happily as they washed the blood from their arms.
One girl was sitting on the edge of the well. The top was slippery. The girl fell in, but her arm was held by a beautiful girl with blue hair tied up in a bun. The robe of the blue-haired girl fell around her shoulders, exposing her them as she tried to help the other girl. Neither girl noticed the red symbol blazing on the blue-haired girl's chest, right below her collarbone.
"Are you all right, Kinu?" the blue-haired girl asked, pulling the other girl onto solid ground.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Kinu replied, smiling, but shaken. "That was scary."
The blue-haired girl started busying herself with adjusting her robe.
"Julia!" the third girl exclaimed, rushing towards her. "What's that on your chest?" She pointed right below the girl's collarbone, where the symbol for willow shone brightly.
"I don't believe it," Kinu said. "It's one of the symbols of Suzaku!"
"But... I thought all the seishi were summoned," Julia protested.
"Guess not," the girl exclaimed. "Come on! We've got to get you to the priestess! She lives in the palace, right, Kinu?" Kinu nodded. "Let's go, then!"
Julia groaned as Chika grabbed her hand and started running towards the village, Kinu tagging along behind. Seeing Chika right now, with her forest green hair billowing behind her in the wind, Julia couldn't help but laugh a little. She could get so excited sometimes.
A/N: I know this chapter is pretty short, but I couldn't think of anything else to happen. Sorry about it taking so long to come out, but I've been working on four stories at once, when I should be working on five, and AIM has been making me laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Thanks to all who reviewed! *hugglehuggle*
