Fushigi Yuugi: Kurai Kiseki

Disclaimer: I do not own Fushigi Yuugi.

A/N: Konnichiwa minna! Quick message. I did not really want to do this... not at all, but my friends pointed out that Kiki only used two wishes, so here I am writing again. Also, as for the title, "Kurai Kiseki" means "Dark Miracle" I just think it's cooler using the Japanese words instead of the English. Well enjoy!

Episode 1 - Hage Hikari - Shadow Light

The loud cheers and shouts coming from the local collage could be heard a mile away. As the students celebrated their graduation and the final time they would ever have to set foot into a school again. Tossing their hats into the air, everyone yelled happily, catching them as they fell back down. All around the students were conversing with one another, crying, laughing, and joking around. Niko climbed up onto her seat, and looked around. She spotted Kiki and waved her arms, "Kiki-chan!!! KIKI-CHAN!! AIEE!!" she lost her balance and fell backwards.

Kiki shook her head a little looking down at Niko whose long red-pink hair was sprawled out underneath her. "Niko-chan, you should be more careful." Kiki held out her hand and helped her friend up. Niko rubbed the back of her head, her red eyes smiling. "Hey Kiki-chan, are you gonna stay for some of the parties?" the brunette shook her head, "Iie, I'm going home, now actually. So I'll see you later then. Ok?" Niko-chan grabbed her arm, "Wait! You can't just leave me here, alone, with all these strange people, they scare me..." Kiki sighed, "You're such a child Niko-chan."

The two girls walked down an empty street that led to a couple of stores, a bar or two and the local shrine. They had been talking for awhile when Niko brought up the subject of Kiki's trip from the book.

"Well what are you going to do about your last wish?"

Kiki stopped walking, "My last wish? I completely forgot about it..."

"Well, now it's on the topic, what are you going to wish for?"

Kiki stood there silently, "I, don't have a clue..."

"Then how about we go get a drink!" Niko said cheerfully pointing to a bar across the street, "Haruna-chan said that the bar there just opened and is owned by two very kawaii guys. Come on, lets go, not to see the guys though, but to get a nice drink. Onegai?"

"Ok..."

"Yay!"

~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~

The bar was dimly lit and contained a large counter and several round tables with chairs around them. Looking around Kiki noticed that there only seemed to be men in the bar, and ones that didn't look like decent men either. A little worried, Kiki took a seat across from Niko's at one of the tables. She glanced over at a group of men who were gathered around one of the table's in the furthest corner, littering it with empty bottles and joking loudly. "What do you want Kiki?"

Kiki looked back over at Niko, "Uhm. I guess I'll just have a Kirin." "Ok, I'll go get the drinks then." Niko said walking over to the counter where two oddly familiar looking men were working. "They almost look li-" "'Ey dere missie." Kiki turned around to see the men from the other table around her. She could smell the heavy aroma of the alcohol on them. It made her feel sick. "K-K-Konnichiwa..."she said weakly as the men grinned at her. "'Hats a purdy laday like yerself doin' 'ere eh?" the largest one asked her. "Ladays 'ike yerself don' eally elong n'bars. Hows bout ya take a lil walk with me and me boys, eh?" "Iie... I'm here with my friend... gomen..." The man just stared at her, his cold eyes looking into hers. "No one says no ta us!" he said loudly pulling Kiki up by her arm.

Niko merely blinked at the scene in front of her. "Kiki-chan? Aie!!" On of the other men had grabbed Niko from behind, causing the drinks in her hands to fall and shatter on the floor. "Lemme go you creep!" "Now com'on... we's just wants to go on a lil walk, th-" "I'd let those girls go if I was ya..." "Otherwise... yer gonna hafta deal with us." The men turned around and Kiki was able to get a good view of the two bartenders as the walked under on of the few lights. One of them had teal blue hair, amber-brown eyes, tan skin, and a scar on his left cheek. The other had orange hair, golden-yellow eyes, and was grinning showing a pair of fangs. He took out a silver fan that looked very heavy, but continued to grin. "Now... let 'em go." The man holding Kiki gripped her arm harder, "Who the hell ya think ya two are, ordin' us 'round?" he flung Kiki of to the side and the other guy flung Niko next to her.

The orange haired man lunged at the man who had been holding Kiki and slammed the fan into his head, sending him flying into a wall. The other man took out two of the men by banging their heads together and slamming the handles of two daggers into each man's chin. Kiki looked on as the one with the fan took out the last guy by flipping a table over him. "Well Genrou, wasn' tha' a good fight?" the teal haired man said.

"Hai Kouji, havn' 'ad one fer awhile." agreed the one named Genrou, who turned to Kiki and Niko. "Ok back ther' ya two?" Kiki nodded standing up and helping Niko up too. Once her friend was up she walked over to the two guys and started examining Genrou and then suddenly clung to him in a hug. "Oi! Oi! Wha's with gettin all close an' personal 'ere? Git offa me!" he asked. Kiki looked up at him, "You don't remember me Tasuki?"

"Iie! An' t'name's Genrou, not Tasuki! Now git off!"

Kiki released him, but didn't take her eyes away. "You don't remember anything at all? It's only been a year." sadness took over her face and she made a quick bow, "Gomen nasai. I thought you were someone else. gomen." she dashed out of the bar. "Kiki-chan!!! Wait!!!" Niko yelled and ran to the door pausing by it, "You bakas! How could you be so mean?! 'Specially when you're her seishi!" and with that, she walked out slamming the door.

Niko managed to catch up to Kiki who had apparently started running the moment she stepped outside the bar. "Kiki-chan, stop, onegai?" the girl stopped moving, allowing her friend to catch her breath. "Kiki-chan are you sure that was Tasuki from the book world place?" Kiki nodded once, "Hai, I'm sure of it, he even had the tessan and everything. Plus that other guy looked and had the same name as Tasuki's friend form the book world too, Kouji. Demo..." "Lets go back then!" "Nani?" "Lets go back, he couldn't have just forgotten something so important like that." "Iie! I made a complete fool out of myself back there just now. I can't go back, he probably already thinks I'm a-" "Baka?"

The two turned around to see Genrou and Kouji standing behind them, their mouths opened in surprise. "Ya know Kiki... tha' look fits ya just 'bout right... Makes ya look like Miaka, heh." Genrou stated grinning showing his fangs. Kiki narrowed her eyes, "Tasuki you baka!" He blinked, "Oi, wha's with gettin all pissed? Com'on, its not like I coul' really fergit 'bout'cha... Oi give tha' back!" "I'll teach you to play mean tricks like that on me Tasuki!!" Kiki had grabbed the Tessan from it's sling around his shoulder and proceeded to hit him over the head with it. "Kiki-chan...?" Niko blinked watching the two beat on one another, hearing Kiki threaten to dump Tasuki into a lake if she ever found one. "Is yer friend always this hyper?" Kouji asked. Niko giggled, "She used to be, I havn't seen her this excited for awhile," the two watch Kiki score a big hit and she does an air punch, "But it's nice to see her smile again."

"Come back here Tasuki!!!"

"Oi!! Relax will ya! Aya!!!!!"

A short distance away two figures stood in the shadows of an alley. One had the body of a man, tall, broad shouldered. The other a woman, smaller and more slender. "So... Suzaku is still contained in her body?" the soft female voice asked. "Hai, and now she's found two of the characters, but only one is a seishi. What's our plan exactly?" "We'll watch and strike when the proper opportunity arises. But we should attack before she finds that one seishi..." The male nodded, his deep voice making a sound of agreement, "Hopefully that shouldn't take too long... I'd like to hurry and complete this mission and finally destroy that book once and for all..."
