Disclaimer: I don't own Fushigi Yuugi. It is own by Yuu Watase, not me. If it was, Miaka would be smarter… maybe... or she'd just be gone completely. Anyways, don't sue me. OK? Bye!

A/N: I have to say that I probably don't have the right personality for Tamahome… but it's my story. Anyways, I hope you like this! Ja ne! ^.^

            Tamahome sat in his apartment, staring into empty space & replaying events he saw the previous night, over & over in his mind.

~~ FLASHBACK ~~

            Tamahome walked home at night from his school. He had just gotten home from a school trip & was annoyed by the fact that he had to walk all the way home, especially since he was tired. Tamahome trudged on, grumbling about various things. When he was walking across the street from the entrance to the park, he saw Miaka & Tasuki getting out of a taxi & enter into the park.

            What? Tamahome thought, following them, What's Tasuki doing with Miaka? I better follow them!

            Tamahome followed them & when they stopped he watched them from the bushes & listen to their conversation.

[A/N: this next scene is from FY Reunion… up until they kiss.]

"Tasuki…do you have a crush on me?" Miaka asked.

"Daa!" Tasuki said, falling down anime style, "What do ya mean?"

"Tasuki," Miaka said grabbing his shirt sleeve, "tell me the truth or I'll hurt you in some way… or at least throw you into the lake."

"Daa…" Tasuki said, knowing he didn't have his fan for protection, "Fine! I do have a crush on you, Miaka." And his face grew bright red.

Miaka smiled at him and sat down on a bench. Tasuki stood there staring at her.

"What's wrong with having a crush on me?" Miaka asked calmly, "You know besides you and Tamahome, Hotohori and Nuriko have crushes on me too."

"I know that… but remember… I'm the guy who always said I hated girls." Tasuki said, sitting next to Miaka. Miaka and Tasuki sat in silence for about two minutes.

"Tasuki… I'll do you a favor if you don't tell Tamahome." Miaka said looking into Tasuki's eyes.

"Uh… ok… what will ya do?" Tasuki asked, a little nervous.

"I'll let you kiss me, and I'll kiss back, as long as we keep it secret and don't tell Tamahome." Miaka said smiling at Tasuki.

"What?!?!" Tasuki said, "You'll actually risk your relationship with Tamahome just to let me have one kiss with you?"

"I guess…besides if he finds out we kissed I'll just say you kissed me." Miaka said. Tasuki sweatdropped and then whacked Miaka on the head.

"I guess that good enough." Tasuki said.

Tasuki then wrapped his arms around Miaka waist and Miaka wrapped her arms around his neck. Miaka and Tasuki leaned close together and kissed.

            As soon as they kissed, Tamahome ran off, with tears in his eyes. He ran as fast as he could, his head mixed up… everything scrambled.

            Why? Tamahome thought, Miaka…why?

            When he got to his apartment, he fell onto his bed & cried himself to sleep. That night he had a restless, dreamless sleep, & in the morning, his head was still messed up.

~~ End of Flashback ~~

            Just then, he noticed that there was a message on his answering machine. He got up & played it.

            "Hi Tamahome, this is Miaka," Miaka's voice said from the message, "I have to take this kid my mom adopted &enroll him in the school in the morning tomorrow. I'll stop at your apartment with him on our way back, ok? Bye!"

            "I still don't get it…" Tamahome mumbled, erasing the message, "I guess I'll have to go talk to her about it…"

            With that he got up & headed to Miaka's apartment. Soon he found himself at her door, unable to knock, but he pulled himself together & knocked.

*Knock, knock*

            Tamahome was ready to yell at Miaka as the door opened slowly. When it was open, he found not Miaka, but a 15-year-old boy with brown hair, cut similar to his own.

            "Good morning, Tamahome!" the boy said, cheerfully, "I'll get Miaka!"

            "Wha?" Tamahome said, shocked, "w-who are you? How do you know my name?"

            "Sorry Tamahome," the boy said, "you probably don't recognize me… I'm Chiriko!"

"Chi-Chiriko?!" Tamahome stuttered, "What are doing at Miaka's apartment?"

            "He's my brother," Miaka said cheerfully from behind Chiriko.

            "Miaka adopted me!" Chiriko said happily, "It's so great to see you again, Tamahome!"

            "Uh…" Tamahome said, sweatdropping, "it's nice to see you again, too, Chiriko!"

            "So, what are you here for Tamahome? I was gonna drop by your apartment a little later…" Miaka said, smiling, as Tamahome stared angrily at her, "You look angry Tamahome. Are you mad at something?"

            "Yes…" Tamahome said as Chiriko slip away into his room, "I wanted to talk about someth-OW!!!"

            "TAMA! HOW YA DOIN'?" Tasuki exclaimed loudly from Tamahome's back & said softly, "Good morning Miaka…"

            "TASUKI!!! GET OFF ME!!!" Tamahome growled, throwing Tasuki off, who was caught by Nuriko, "Grrr…"

            "What'd ya do this time Tasuki?" Nuriko said setting Tasuki on his feet.

            "I dunno…" Tasuki shrugged, "He's just pissed off for some reason…"

            "Good morning Nuriko!" Miaka said, slipping past Tamahome & giving Nuriko a hug, "what are you here for?"

            "Well…" Nuriko said, pointing at a group of people behind him, "Tasuki, Mitsukake, Chichiri, Hotohori & I decided to take the day off so we all, along with you & Tama-kins, can have a picnic together!"

            "Hey! What about me?!" Chiriko protested, suddenly appearing in front of Nuriko.

            "Chiriko?!" Nuriko smiled, "Well, of course you get to come! I didn't realize we had found you already."

            "YAY! Let's go! It's great that we're all together again!" Miaka said, heading down the hall.

            "MIAKA! STOP!!!" Tamahome yelled, angrily, as Miaka & the others turned & stared at him, "I NEED TO TALK TO YOU NOW!!! AND I DON' CARE IF THE OTHERS ARE HERE!!!"

            "Ta-Tama…home?" Miaka murmured, backing slowly away from him. The rest of the Suzaku seven stared at him with amazement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: Mwhahahaha!!! Cliffhanger! OK! Let me tell you all where I want this to kinda go. Tamahome tells Miaka that he had seen the whole kissing scene w/ Tasuki… and then eventually they all go & have the picnic. Twist is…the next chapter will be a fake ending (kinda like the movie Clue), just to amuse ya, & the fourth chapter will be the real ending! And guess what… you readers get to decide what ending will be real! Here are the choices:

1. Tamahome & Tasuki get in a fight; Nuriko stops them; Tamahome/Miaka break up & the go to the picnic

{A/N: I'm not gonna ruin the ending so you have to go on that}

2. Tamahome & Tasuki fight; Miaka runs away & gets together with someone she runs into; they all go to the picnic
