GIRLENIGMA DESU! 'Allo folks! And welcome to my first ever Fushigi Yuugi fanfic. If you don't know much about Fushigi Yuugi, don't worry, I try to write as if people know diddly squat about the original series. However this fanfic may become a little confusing if you haven't read at least a couple mangas or watched a few episodes of it. For a quick rundown of the series I would suggest that you visit this page- because I've typed up a quick summary and sort of a review on the series. I've also included links that may be helpful if you're lost. Also I've included some Japanese in this story. Not much but some. Don't spaz, I've included little notes too. So if you don't know what a word means and it has a pair of parenthesis after the sentence that it's in then you can find out it's meaning! Yay for GirlEngima!

Miyamoto-chan has been generous enough to make all the Fushigi Akugi in this story as well. Basically the F.A. is just a little parody part of my story that Miyamoto-chan has thought up. Most of them are really funny. ^.^ So make sure to support her too! You can visit her ff profile page here -

I don't own Fushigi Yuugi! (Mysterious Play!)

History

Once upon a time…there was an ancient world, inside a book, that was at war with each other. Two girls from our world accidentally got sucked into this world. Miaka Yuuki, a cheerful young Japanese junior high student, and her best friend Yui Hongo, a very intelligent Japanese junior high student with a bright future, were the two girls sucked into this book, this Universe of the 4 Gods. Inside this book Tamahome, a Suzaku Seishi, saved them both. As soon as they were saved they were brought back to their world though. Events passed and eventually both of them were brought back into the book. This time, however, they were not on friendly terms. Miaka had become the Priestess of Suzaku and Yui had become the Priestess of Seiryuu, both enemies. Yui was bitter and jealous and Miaka had many burdens to shoulder and had finally found her true love. But the ancient world was now even more at war with two countries claiming a priestess of two of the four gods.

There was a time when the four gods all got along just as Yui and Miaka for a time were best friends. It was a time when they constructed the world and chose who would become their priestesses. It was then that the four gods decided that they would bestow a gift to the world they created, they would give their world two gifts. The gods Byakko of the western kingdom and Genbu of the northern kingdom created in their image and in their priestesses' image a single girl who they named Jiyuuiki. She was not a real person yet. She could only become real once the two priestesses of Genbu and Byakko came into the book. Then she was made into a mortal form. They sent her spirit out into the world, as it's first gift.

The second gift was from Suzaku and Seiryuu. They did the same thing that Byakko and Genbu did. They constructed a spirit girl of both their powers who they named Kumiko. And as time passed when Yui and Miaka entered the book she was sent into a human body, which they also constructed. They used half of Yui's egg and half of Miaka's egg. Then they took half of Tamahome's sperm and half of Suboshi's sperm and melded all of the cells together to make her mortal and to represent their seishis and priestesses who protect their lands. They both loved her the best of everything but they sent her out into their world for its gift. Kumiko was placed gently in the Nyosei region. There she was found by the local women and cared for by all. Kumiko was considered everyone's child and since she appeared to have no father it was the country's greatest gift. The house of Miyahara adopted Kumiko.

Jiyuuiki was placed in Nyosei too. She arrived there before Kumiko did however. Nyosei women did not discover her though. She was taken away by bandits that lived in the Hokken mountains. There she grew up as a maid to them. They renamed her Nanaho and she lived with the family of Ishimaru. There she grew up, tough and bitter, knowing that she had been happy with her family of Byakko and Genbu and knowing that she had been deprived of living with them. But she did rise in rank and before she knew it she had become the leader of the bandits. She struggled to claim both kingdoms of Genbu and Byakko for herself. Genbu and Byakko's priestesses are already gone from the book, one dead and the other quickly approaching death. Their seishis were scattered and most were probably dead. Jiyuuiki has only one family that she knows of, Kumiko, and she is determined to scour the land to find her.

Kumiko is oblivious to Jiyuuiki's existence. She doesn't remember much. She just feels a strong pull to Konan and the Kutou kingdoms of Suzaku and Seiryuu respectively. But she does love her home in Nyosei as well. She doesn't know much about men since they aren't allowed in Nyosei but she wonders about her real family and how she ended up in Nyosei in the first place.

And our story begins as Kumiko finally realizes her calling to go to Konan and Kutou where her life may start...or end.
