Part 5
Wind, Fire, Steel and mass chaos
Yui stared up, unable to believe it.
"Oh my God, not you ... not the oversexed pretty boy," she groaned.
Ki Hatsu held out his hand looking a little awkward. Maybe she had mistaken him for someone else?
Yui ignored the hand and staggered to her feet completely flabbergasted (1).
"When? How?"
"Do I know you?"
"OF COURSE YOU KNOW ME! I'm in trig class with you! We go to the same school! Or do all those raging hormones give you a such a short term memory that you can't remember hitting on me this morning when Kazutaka-sensei got mad at you for passing notes?"
Ki Hatsu wondered if this was an insane person. For a lunatic, she was pretty hot.
"Um... no... Have you mistaken me for someone else?"
"You are Ki Hatsu right?"
Ki Hatsu jumped back in surprise. No one, by punishment of death, was allowed to say the name his father had given him. To be quite truthful, he had no idea why.
"Y- yeah, I'm Ki Hatsu," he said slowly.
"How the Hell did you get into the Universe of the Four Gods? Did Keisuke let you read the book? Wait, let me guess, you probably came by Miaka's looking for me, didn't you? My God, I don't believe you, you are so persistent! Look, there are about three hundred girls at school as pretty as me and Miaka so why don't you go for one of them? Argh!"
Yui continued on in a state of utter fury. It was bad enough she was back in the Universe of the Four Gods. It was even worse that Ki Hatsu was there as well.
"Wait a minute," something had caught Ki Hatsu's attention besides that fact that Yui's skirt was much shorter than those silly kimonos women wore all the time, "Are you that girl from the other world? The priestess of Suzaku?"
Yui stopped ranting, and stood looking like a deer caught in headlights for an instant.
"Actually, I'm the priestess of Sei-Ryu. Miaka, you know, my friend who I thought you were hitting on this morning, is the priestess of Suzaku."
"Well, just so you know, you're in major trouble."
Yui rolled her eyes. When had she heard that before?
"Tell me something I don't know."

Tasuki dove to the side as the soaring brass gauntlets only just missed the chance to implode his skull. Nataku, although his expression didn't show it, was furious.
"What's the big idea you stupid bandit, walking in on us like that?"
"RECCA SHIEN!" Tasuki's tessen only just managed to divert the gauntlet's return attack on him, "It's not like I was trying to walk in on anything! I'm looking for that blond girl! She's wandered off!"
Nataku paused as his paopei returned. "Yui has wandered?" RaiShinShi noticed Nataku had a sudden look of concern. However, that concern was not for Yui. "I pity the fool (2) that tries to fight her. She is immensely powerful."
Tasuki blinked. Miaka had never shown any extraordinary abilities besides the fact that she could summon Suzaku and make wishes. Why is it Yui had any abilities outside the priestess' summoning capabilities?
He took off to the main road hoping to find the girl, before anyone found her.

Fuugen sat in silence alongside TaiKouBou, watching the fish swirl about in the water. "It is so quiet with Dakki gone," said TaiKouBou suddenly. "Aa," Fuugen replied, reclining, "Is there something you're getting at?"
"Yes," he responded, as Suupuu Shan gave a long snore.
"Then explain. What is on your mind?"
"Dakki."
"Mm?"
"Even after we defeated her, human's still have no control of their destiny. What if... what if it were to happen all over again?"
"You're worried about Buu-oh-sama?"
"The resemblance between him and the late Chuu-oh-sama is remarkable. Do you recall at the elephant races when Youzen turned into Dakki? How Buu-oh- sama fell so easily for her temptation?"
"Aha, so you fear that Buu-oh-sama is resigned to the same fate as the late Chuu-oh-sama?"
"I fear everything we have done has been in vain. I fear I shall meet with the same fate as Bunchu and Hiko. I fear the Shuu Empire will fall."
"You think Dakki can come back?"
"The Universe of the Four Gods was opened a day ago. I don't doubt the possibility that Dakki was reincarnated and will return to us another way."
"The four Gods. . . we are well acquainted. Two of the priestesses have returned and according to Tai-Itsu, TaiYiJun has big plans."
TaiKouBou stood, his expression unreadable, "Suupuu, we're going!"
Suupuu stirred, "Ah, master?"
"We're going to find the priestesses."
"Eh?"
"I'll come too, Bou-chan," Fuugen offered, lifting Tai Kyouku Fu In and tucking it under his arm.
"Suupuu, let's go," said TaiKouBou hopping onto the Reijyuu.
"Sorry Suupuu-san for the extra weight," Fuugen apologized.

"Only a human can break the barrier between mankind and Sennine. Only a human can change fate. TaiKouBou chose the path of a human, but he's still a Doushi." ShinKouHyou mused.
"But he did manage to change it somewhat, ne?" KokuTenKou inquired.
"Indeed, but the change was not significant enough. The priestesses are human. They, perhaps, stand a chance."
"Priestesses, Seishi, bandits, Doushi, and emperors. Things are going to get complicated again aren't they, ShinKouHyou?"
"I'd say 'interesting' rather than complicated."

Ai-chan- Whew, that was tough. I won't be writing more for a while. Midterms are coming up. EEEEP! Well, here begins the plot. Ack! Where are Youzen and Tenka? What about the rest of the Suzaku Seishi? They'll becoming soon, so no worries! (Thanks again for the great responses! Wai!)
That is the greatest word in the English language. It couldn't be helped. It really couldn't. ^.^()
