Chapter Four

Recap
"Of course, my liege, demo we will not take that chance." Nakago turned his attention to Ashitare.
"Bring her here."
===
"She must do this on her own…"
"Yes, but what shall happen when she comes back to us…when she finds out…"
"IF she comes back…when she finds out…"
------End Recap-------
"That's MY chicken!" Usagi snarled at Nuriko, trying to sound as dangerous as possible with food in her mouth.
"Too bad. There's more over there." Nuriko grinned at her, pointing to the plate of chicken at the center of the table.
"I want that one!" She pouted, sounding like a spoiled child.
"Iie." He said, swatting her hand as she made a grab for it. Usagi growled.
"I'll get it back, just you wait."
She made several more unsuccessful grabs at it, as the onlookers watched in a mix of silent amusement and embarrassment. Nuriko scoffed at her attempts.
"Hah! I'd stop going after Hotohori-sama for a week if you could!" Sweatdrops appeared all around the table.
Usagi growled, making yet another unsuccessful lunge for the chicken.
Chichiri cleared his throat, catching all attention, and bringing Usagi's attention away from the chicken.
"The Hikari no Miko?" He asked, as Usagi turned to face him.
Nuriko looked at Usagi, curious. She nodded in response once, then began to attack her food with a vicious grin.
"Hai, my…" She swallowed her food. "Miko."
"And where is she, no da?" Need I say who?
"Somewhere…probably in Konan, since Zaku-chan sent me here…AIIIEEE!!!" Usagi screamed, her blue eyes opened wide, horrified and teary.
"Usagi-chan?" Hotohori looked at her, concerned. But Usagi ignored him, instead burying her head in her hand.
"Usagi-chan?"
Sniffled met his inquiry. The room became silent, save the stifled sobs coming from the small form of the goddess.
"No…" she whimpered. By now, all in the room was concerned, including Nuriko, who had just been about to eat his chicken when Usagi had screamed out.
"Usagi, are you alright?"
"Iie…"
"What's wrong?" Nuriko moved closer to her, his chicken still in the chopsticks. Usagi looked up at him, her blue eyes teary.
"Do you really want to know?" she asked him, her voice wavering.
"Hai!, " He tilted his head sideways in silent query, looking at Usagi's deep eyes.
"I.."
"Hai?" Everyone, including a seething Hotohori leaned forward, awaiting her answer.
"I…"
Closer.
"I TOLDCHA I'D GET THE CHICKEN!" Usagi grabbed the chicken away from Nuriko, and plopped it into her mouth.
Everyone else stared, confused for a moment. Then broke out into sweat drops. Nuriko growled, as a now very content Usagi swallowed the chicken and grinned cheekily at him.
"No worries, Nuriko, there's more chicken." Nuriko stared at Usagi, before closing his eyes and wailing to the heavens.
"I DON'T WANNA STOP CHASING AFTER HOTOHORI-SAMA!"
Sweatdrops, all around.
-----------------------------
Chiriko sighed. After Usagi had stolen the chicken from Nuriko, dinner had resumed as normal, with Usagi talking of her friends. Nuriko, however, had gotten it into his head that Usagi was trying to snatch Hotohori away from him, vowing at that moment to make sure she didn't…even if it did involve the most unthinkable and cruelest method—Nuriko would cut her hair…tonight.
He had announced his plans to everyone, save Usagi and Hotohori, of course, after dinner, when Usagi and Hotohori had slipped away, Usagi to her room, and Hotohori to see his council. The group had just stared at Nuriko, embarrassed for him as he announced everything he would do to her. As a matter of fact, Chiriko was sure the purple-haired cross dresser was on his way to see Usagi, right now.
Several minutes passed, and all was quiet. Perhaps Nuriko had been bluffing, after all, who would be stupid enough to anger a goddess?
A large bang rang throughout the palace.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOINNNGGG????!!!! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!" *sigh* Then again, Nuriko isn't the smartest cream of the crop.
Chiriko quickly ran towards the screaming voice of the goddess, finding the other seishis had along the way. They quicken their pace when Nuriko joined them, also running towards the goddess's chambers, though unlike them, instead of voicing his concern for the goddess's welfare, he was muttering something about her sneaky ploy to get Hotohori into her room.
The site that greeted them made them stop, and Tasuki immediately covered Chiriko's eyes, despite his confused protests.
------------------------------
The room was in disarray. Everywhere, clothing were strewn, a new opening towards the top of the wall was allowing the moonlight through, and furniture thrown about, lying on the ground, tipped over. However, that wasn't what made the Suzaku seishi pause.
In the middle of the room, a Seiryuu seishi, Ashitare if they remembered correctly, cowered behind anything and everything, in attempt to avoid the goddess.
"HENTAI! ECCHI! BAKA! ARGH! KUSO YARO!!" With every word coming out of Usagi's mouth, each more vulgar than the next, and her vocabulary was very good, with Tasuki making some mental notes to use some of the words, and ask for the meanings of others, the wolfish man seemed to shrink in size.
"HOW DARE YOU JUST WALK IN ON ME LIKE THAT!! DON'T YOU HAVE MANNERS??!! ARGH!" Usagi switched from cursing to ranting, her eyes taking on a crazed gleam. "AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO KNOCK?!! WHAT KIND OF BAKA ARE YOU?!?! ECCHI!!!!!!!" she shrieked in her highest voice, as everyone cringed and blocked their ears.
Ashitare was dodging for his life. This blonde girl was most definetly the goddess, unless there was a Suzaku seishi who could make swords and other objects, other HARMFUL objects appear out of thin air, and was currently tossing each his way with deathly accuracy.
"THIS IS FOR NOT KNOCKING!" a ninja star just missed him.
"THIS IS FOR ENTERING WITHOUT MY PERSMISSION!!" He barely dodged the daggar.
"THIS IS FOR STARING!!!" Had his life just flashed before his eyes?
"AND THIS IS BECAUSE YOU WON'T APOLOGIZE, LEAVE, AND BECAUSE YOU'RE A PERVERTED…" Ashitare's eyes widened, blocking out what the goddess was saying. He could dodge many things, but there was no way he would be able to dodge both the scythe, sword, and barrage of jittes and daggars coming to him at once.
He dodged the barrage of jittes and daggars, with many bruises. The sword lodged itself in his side, but the scythe would have sent him the killing blow.
Had the lightning not reached him first. Electricuted, the body of Ashitare slumped to the ground.
Silence reigned for a good five seconds, before Usagi spun around towards the direction of the lightning. There, a red haired woman stared coldly at the body of Ashitare. She turned her attention to Usagi, an eyebrow quirked up in questioning.
Usagi blushed, then turned a raging red, before sending a barrage of weapons at the stranger.
"AND YOU!! YOU BAKA! HOW DARE YOU JUST STAND THERE AND WATCH ME LIKE THAT!! BAKA! ARGH!! WHY WON'T YOU STOP DODGING!?!?!"
Soi's eyes were wide. Was this the goddess that she would now have to bring back now that Ashitare was disposed of? She sincerely hoped not. Something told her that if she brought the goddess to Nakago now, only one of them would arrive to him alive…and it wouldn't be her.
"STAY STILL DAMMIT!" Soi managed to dodge all of the weapons heading her way, though an arrow had managed to skim her cheek. She growled, wiping away the thin trail of blood. She hated to fail Nakago, fearful of him.
But her fear towards him was NOTHING like she felt towards the insane goddess who was currently preparing a beam of energy that would surely kill her.
'Kuso!" was her last thought before she ran away, faster than she could ever remember running, away from the beam of light that bursted through the opening.
"AND STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" even so far away, she could hear the voice of the goddess echoing around her. She fought back a shudder.
Perhaps that girl had been sent to Earth because her voice was so loud…and shrill.
"SUZAKU! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THERE WERE SO MANY ECCHIS HERE?!! WHEN I GO BACK, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT! ERR….YOU ARE SO GONNA GET IT, YOU HEAR ME NII-CHAN!?!? I'LL NEVER LET YOU HEAR THE END OF IT, NOT EVEN AT THE END OF TIME!! AND THE REST OF YOU, DON'T YOU THINK YOU'LL GET AWAY WITH IT! YOU'LL BE HEARING MY VOICE RINGING IN YOUR HEAD FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE!! ETERNITY!! YOU HEAR ME, ETERNITY!!!!" Usagi's voice reverberated around her. This time, she could not fight back the shudder.
Or perhaps she just terrified the gods as much as she did her.
----------------------
Far away, above all the commotion, Suzaku, Seiryuu, Byakko, and Genbu shuddered, and crouched away from the mirror.
"ETERNITY!!!!!!!" the voice echoed around the palace, coming from the mirror. Each cringed, wrapping themselves deeper into their blankets. Hey, gods had to sleep too, you know! And they had decided to sleep, watching Usagi on Earth, though they had changed to watch the humans for a while, before Ashitare should have arrived at Usagi's room.
Seiryuu growled. He had specifically sent a message to Ashitare in his sleep telling him not to enter Usagi's room until AFTER the lights to her room was turned off.
But of course, Ashitare couldn't listen to him, noo, the wolf man was just too GOOD to listen to a DREAM! And in the process, he had to ruined any chance of peaceful sleep the gods may have had by walking in on Usagi.
And to think, they had actually hoped that with Usagi on Earth, they would not be hearing any of this from her.
"YOU HEAR ME, ETERNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!" Usagi's voice screeched from Earth. They all shuddered and buried themselves in their blanket, with Suzaku and Byakko letting out a muffled whimper into the darkness.
-----------------------
All of the Suzaku seishis, and Miaka, stared at Usagi in awe, fear, and…well, most of them WERE male. She turned to them, her face still red. Her eyes widened.
"EEECCCCCCCCCHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!" letting out a yelp, they all bolted out of the room, Tasuki picking up Chiriko, still covering his eyes with one hand as he ran. They left just in time too, as any sharp object you could possibly think of embedded themselves deep into the door and wall where they had stood moments ago.
----------------------
"So, Nuriko." Tasuki turned to face the sprinting boy.
"Hai?" Nuriko turned to face Tasuki, all the while never stopping. None of them dared stop, wanting to be as far from Usagi as possible, even Hotohori, who had a dazed look on his face.
"Still planning on getting back on Usagi?"
"ARE YOU KIDDING?!! AFTER WHAT WE JUST SAW!" Fear entered everyone's eyes, though the boys in the group began to blush, save Chiriko, and if possible, an even more glazed, if somewhat dreamy look entered Hotohori's eyes, though his whole face turned red.
Meanwhile, Chiriko, who was still being carried by Tasuki, wondered what was going on.
-------------------------
Alone, Usagi used magic to clean the room, fixing every damage to the room. The whole time she was doing so, her eyes remained blank, even as she used magic to get rid of Ashitare's body, sending it back to wherever it had come from. When she was done, the empty look vanished and she sunk to the floor, still in her panties as she had been when the whole incident had started, rocking back and forth, clutching the area near her right bosom.
Tears coursed down her cheeks as she brokenly sobbed in a fetal position. Time passed, and after what seemed an eternity, she stood up and walked to the mirror. She was not surprised at all by the site she was met with.
Not even bothering to put on the clothes that she had dropped to the ground upon entering the room, having fully intended on wearing it, though that was delayed by the appearance of seeing Ashitare in her room, she went to bed.
An eerie gray glow, mixed with blue, emitted from under the sheet, and when the sheet rode down to under her chest, the gray light was revealed to be from the upside crescent moon mark located above her right bosom. Underneath the mark, was another glowing symbol, this time glowing blue. It was kanji, for Seiryuu.
