Chapter 8 - Return
Disclaimer - I Do Not Own Fushigi Yuugi. So there!
It had been a week since Kiki had been returned to the real world. She was finding it harder and harder to stay there too. Her grades were falling and every time she read the book it saddened her. Kyandee was getting stronger and was sending her "pet" gods on more and more killing sprees. She had asked her mom several times how she had returned to the book when she was kicked out the first time. 'I just opened it and I was taken back. That's all.' Kiki sighed, she had tried everything that came to her mind, jumping on it, flipping to every page, staring at it for a whole entire day, nothing worked.
Niko and Miaka were worried. Every time they saw Kiki she was pale and looked sick, although she told them she was fine. "She looks like a ghost, it's freaky." Niko and Miaka were walking back from visiting Kiki. Miaka nodded in agreement, "Yes, she does. I've tried to take her to a doctor, but she won't leave her apartment and her school has told her that she should stay home until she is better." Niko stopped walking, "It's the book!" Miaka blinked, "The book, what are you talking about." Niko pointed up to a window. "Look, she's reading it." Miaka followed her hand and they could both see a faint outline of a girl reading a red book.
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~ ~~*~~
Kiki looked up as Niko threw her door open. "Niko, what are you doing here? Hey!" Niko had dashed over and grabbed the book. "I'm taking this." Kiki stood up, "Give it back Niko!" Niko shook her head, "No, you look horrible and you're a mess and this stupid book is because of It. All you do is sit here and read don't you? Have you even eaten in that past day?" Kiki just glared at her. "Answer me Kiki! Answer me now!" Kiki looked away, "I, I can't back. I can't help them. Kyandee. she's going to kill them all." Niko's expression softened as her friend look back at her, crying. "I can't do anything but sit here and watch as she destroys everything! My father is in there Niko and I can't bring him back or go there to help him! There is nothing I can do! Nothing!!"
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~ ~~*~~
Later that night, Kiki was over at Niko. The two had made a compromise. Kiki could have the book If she moved in and obeyed Niko's orders, temporarily. "I don't understand Niko, why are you going through all this trouble?" Niko smiled, "Simple, it would be inhuman to just leave you there like that." "Wow, you know large words." Niko turned around to see Kiki laughing and grinned, "Yeah I do, surprised? I learned a lot from reading that little demonic book." Kiki looked token aback, "Demonic? Did you learn that word too?" Niko nodded her head, "Yes, I did! What are you going to do about it?" The two started laughing.
Niko picked up the book, "It's weird." Kiki looked up, "What is?" Niko sat down on a chair across from Kiki. "That this book can cause so much trouble." She tossed it to Kiki who caught it. "Yes it is, but there are good things about it." Niko raised and eyebrow, "Like?" Kiki traced her fingers over the symbols, "Like meeting the wonderful people in it and being part of something that is amazing." Niko yawned, "Well go ahead and read then, but read aloud, I want to know what's going on too." Kiki nodded.
"Kyandee's power was growing stronger with each village and city she took down. As hard as they could, the Suzaku senshi could not take down the gods when all three battled together. Their powers had slowly been weakening since their priestess had been returned to her own time..."
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~ ~~*~~
Kyandee smiled evilly at her orb. "Alright my pets, It's finally time! Tonight my clouds will part and the moon of blood shall shine down upon this zombie world. Your powers will be taken their to peaks and the last city shall be destroyed!" Kyandee tossed the orb into the air it glowed a dark red. The three gods behind her roared and vanished. She laughed as she watched them reappear outside the main gate of Konan. There, the Suzaku seishi were waiting.
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~ ~~*~~
"The fight began and they instantly aimed for Genbu, since it was the slowest, but when the moon's light fell upon the god it became faster and stronger. The other two just as well. All around the senshi were being attacked. The warrior Tamahome thought of a plan and Nuriko him grasped onto Genbu's neck. If it worked the other gods would try to attack them, but hurt Genbu instead. Right before the attacks hit, the two jumped down, allowing Genbu's head to be cleaning severed off. The Lord Hotohori and mage Chichiri were trying to get rid of Seiryu, but Byakko hindered them, sending them constantly into the outer wall of Konan." Kiki stopped reading, "I can't read it anymore." Niko took the book, "Ok then I will." she sat back down.
"No matter what the senshi did the gods never backed down. Moreover, it seemed whenever they attacked nothing happened. Even Genbu had been revived somehow and was fighting again. The three gods had managed to block the senshi in area and were advancing on them slowly. The mage Chichiri stood in the front and quickly cast a barrier as the gods began to power up for their attack. It released and Chichiri's barrier managed to hold through, but he was weakened and his barrier was just barely able to stay up. The next attack would surely destroy him. The gods powered up for their final attack, ready to release it at any moment. The other senshi were trying to convince Chichiri to just teleport them back to the palace and have Mitsukake heal him. He refused, for then the gods attacks would hit the city, destroying it all." Niko stopped and suddenly felt the book ripped from her hands.
Looking up she saw Kiki glaring into the book. The look of sadness and worry gone. Niko blinked and realized that she had been crying. "Take me back, take me back into the book now! Suzaku, if I am truly your miko I command you to return me to the book! TAKE ME BACK!!" The book glowed and the red light of Suzaku filled the apartment. Niko shielded her eyes and when she looked again Kiki was gone and the book laid on the floor. Niko quickly picked it up and opened it. "And with the tears of the pain in her heart, the priestess was returned to the other world."
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~ ~~*~~
Kyandee's room was filled with Suzaku's light as well as Kiki was returned. "What is this? How did she break through my seal?!" she sighed and then grinned, "Well this could be good. Byakko, Genbu, Seiryu, halt your attack and return at once!" the three gods attacked stopped and they vanished.
Tasuki pointed up, "'Ey, incomin'!" they all looked up as Kiki fell. Nuriko stood under her and caught her in time. "Hey, it's Kiki!" Tamahome ran over and just stared at her, Nuriko just noticed why. "She looks really sick." Nuriko looked over at Tamahome, "Do you know what's wrong Tamahome?" Tamahome stared down sadly at his daughter, "It looks like she's been neglecting herself." Nuriko looked down at Kiki who had passed out on the way there. Behind them Tasuki was helping Chichiri up, "'Ey you guys, we should go back and see Mitsukake. He should be able ta help."
Mitsukake stood back, "There, all she needs is to rest now and she'll be fine." He left the room to go check on Chichiri. Nuriko looked over at Tasuki who had been helping Chichiri out, "Hey Tasuki." He nodded his head, "How is she?" Nuriko smiled, "She's going to be ok. Right Tamahome?" Tamahome didn't respond. He stood up from his seat and walked out. Tasuki turned around, "'Ey! It's nice ta respond ta people!" Nuriko covered his mouth, "Shhh Tasuki, you're going to get yourself in trouble." Tasuki bit down on Nuriko's hand, "Don' cover my mouth and he's bein' a jerk!" Nuriko sighed, "He's obviously preoccupied about something. I mean, judging by what he said and how Kiki looked, it seemed that she was just letting herself go. He is her father; it would probably really concern him. So just lay off Tamahome for awhile until he seems normal again." Tasuki rolled his eyes, "When has he ever been normal?" he laughed as he dodged a punch from Nuriko and the ran out as Nuriko began to run after him.
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~ ~~*~~
Kyandee paced in front of the three gods. "She managed to break my seal, little wrench. How could she?" Kyandee paused, "Since she has returned it'll give the power the seishi lost back. Making them strong again. Damn!" she started pacing again. After moments of silence she stopped, an evil grin upon her face. "I know what to do now. There is only one way she could have broken through that seal and I will use that emotion to my advantage." She turned to the gods. "But don't worry my pets, you will have you own fun, it may be awhile, but you will finally taste the blood of Suzaku's followers."
