Ceres: I do not own Fushigi Yugi. Do not sue me. Do not flame me.

When she was finished, Chichiri took out his Magic Mirror and began to chant a spell. Hikari watched behind him as a face of a girl appeared. She had brown hair and brown eyes. Her face was round. Behind her was a very handsome boy. He had black hair and brown eyes. "Hey Miaka. Hey Tamahome." Chichiri said to the mirror.

"I see you have found a girl to be with, Chichiri." Tamahome teased.

"She's not my girlfriend, you know. I accidentally transported myself to the world that the priestesses come from. Hikari here cared for me." Chichiri said as he pointed Hikari out.

"She's a pretty one." Tamahome remarked and then Miaka punched him in the stomach. "Well she is." he said as a defense.

Hikari bit her lip to keep the laughs from escaping. "Thanks, Tamahome, but I'm taken." Hikari said just to stop Miaka from beating him up.

"You can't have her now, Chichiri." he said with a sly smile.

"I came to talk about business, you know. Stop it with the jokes, Tamahome." said Chichiri.

"What's up, Chichiri?" asked an anxious Miaka.

"Well, I have to stay here for a while. It might take a while for me to gain enough energy to bring me 'n' Hikari to our world."

"You can have as much time as you need."

"CHICHIRI!!!" said Tasuki as he jumped in front of the other mirror.

"Hey, Tasuki!" answered Chichiri.

"Hey who's the cute girl?"

"This is Hikari. She took care of me when I accidentally transported to her world."

Hikari waved at Tasuki and said, "Hi." Tasuki waved back.

"Well, this spell is gonna expire soon, you know. I have to go now, you know. Talk to you guys later." said Chichiri.

Tasuki, Tamahome, and Miaka said bye and the connection was lost. Chichiri sighed and put the mirror away. "You miss them don't you, Chichiri?" asked Hikari.

"They're my only family, you know." answered Chichiri.

"Am I part of that family now?"

"Yeah. Since I first met you, you've been like a sister to me, you know."

"Well, it's getting late. I don't have any class anymore but we have to go to my graduation tomorrow. In the meantime, let's get some rest." she kissed Chichiri on the cheek, "G'night, Chichiri." She left the room to the couch.

"Good night, nee-chan."

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

The next morning, Hikari woke up and instantly began to get ready for graduation. She tried not to wake Chichiri because he was still conserving his energy. After 45 minutes, she was ready and began to wake up Chichiri. She knelt down so her mouth was next to his ear.

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

Chichiri was dreaming of home, the peaceful sounds of the animals in the forest. The empress and her young son, Hotohori, Tamahome, Tasuki, and Miaka having fun and waiting for him.

"Chichiri..." they called to him, "Chichiri... Chichiri... CHICHIRI!!!"

Chichiri woke up and found Hikari yelling his name in his ear. "We have to go to my graduation. You are the only family I have so I want you to be there." Hikari said.

Chichiri sat up and walked over to the bag that held all his clothes. "I'll take a shower, you know. You make us some breakfast."

Chichiri walked over to the bathroom. Hikari began to make breakfast in the kitchen. "Oh yeah. My friend, Kaworu, is coming with us. It's his graduation as well." Hikari yelled back at Chichiri.

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

When they were done with breakfast, Hikari and Chichiri went to the elevator and went down 3 floors. When the doors opened, Chichiri saw a pale- haired boy with red eyes. "Hey Kaworu!" said Hikari, "You're earlier then I expected. You're usually late for these things."

"This is much more important then class." answered Kaworu with a growl, "Anyway, who's your friend?"

"This is Chichiri. He's staying over my place for a while. I'll tell you the whole story later."

Kaworu nodded and said, "Nice to meet you, Chichiri." Kaworu held out his hand, expecting a handshake.

Chichiri shook his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, too."

The three of them went down to the lobby and they climbed into Hikari's car, Hikari and Kaworu in the front and Chichiri in the back. "So, Chichiri. Where are you from?" asked Kaworu.

"Konan." answered Chichiri.

"Where is that?" Kaworu asked Hikari.

"Chichiri teleported from another world. It's not like he's an alien or anything." answered Hikari, "He's staying with me until he regains enough strength to bring me and him to his world."

"I see." Kaworu raised his eyebrow in disbelief.

"I saw that." said Hikari without even taking her eyes off the road. "It's true anyway. He did come from another world."

"How are you so sure?"

"It's that sixth sense I have. I have a feeling that he's telling the truth."

They reached the college and walked towards the courtyard where a lot of people were getting ready for the graduation. Hikari, Kaworu, and Chichiri walked over and Hikari began to introduce Chichiri to her friends. When she was done, she let Chichiri have a seat in the front so she can keep an eye on him.

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

When the graduation finally began, Hikari was one of the first to be called up for their diploma. Hikari was also given the Valedictorian award. Kaworu was 10 people after her. Kaworu was, of course, given his college diploma and the award given to those second of the Valedictorian award.

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

When everybody got their diplomas, Hikari went over to Kaworu and hugged him as congratulations. They both walked over to Chichiri. Chichiri hugged Hikari and shook Kaworu's hand. They decided to go to a restaurant to celebrate.

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

When they got home from hanging out with Kaworu as a celebration, Chichiri went out to the balcony to rest for a while. Hikari went to cook dinner for the both of them. When she was done, she went out to the balcony to get Chichiri. She found Chichiri with a strange glow surrounding him. She began to walk towards him. When she got too close, the aura around Chichiri threw her back and away from him. "Chichiri?" she called, "Chichiri?"

Chichiri turned around and realised his magic was keeping her away from him. He ceased the spell and immediately began to shiver. "I'm sorry. That spell protected me from everything around me, you know. Even the weather, you know." he explained.

She swung her arm around his shoulders. "Come on. You're gonna catch your death out here. You're not used to this kind of climate. It's much more nicer in Konan than it is here."

"Thanks."

They walked inside together and Hikari brought him a blanket to wrap around him. She put a bowl of ramen in front of him and rubbed his shoulders while he ate to make him warmer. "So. What is your country like?" she asked.

"It's a beautiful country, you know. Peaceful, too. But the coutry is still on the rebound ever since the war against Kutou ended, you know. The weather is wonderful, warm everyday, you know. The skies are always blue, you know."

"It seems much better then it is here."

"It is." Chichiri smiled.

"I wish we can go soon. My life has been boring and dull until I met you. I want to meet your friends. I want to go to your world."

"We will. Don't worry. I feel my powers coming back to me, you know."

"We'll rest tomorrow and the next day so your powers can be fully restored."

"Thanks."

"No problem at all."

When Chichiri was finished with his food, Hikari brought him to her bed. "Good night, Chichiri." she said.

"Good night." replied Chichiri.
