Summary: Rei is the inheritor to the White Tiger Village, but to keep his inheritance, he must choose a mate before the 61st of the Yami Season. Traditionally, the maiden is from the village, but Rei wants someone else.
Fushigi (2/17/04)- I'm happy! I've cut my hair by about... Two inches, which brings it a little above my shoulders now. Also, we're going to see 'A Thousand Cranes' tomorrow. No school!! Yay!! So happy! *Bounces around the room*
Kid- *watches Fushigi, then trips her.* *smirk*.
Fushigi- *rubs her nose* Itai~! What was that for?!
Kid- To get you to stop acting like an idiot. *still smirking*
Fushigi- Good for nothing, brainless, LOTR hater, HP hater, stupid, bloody git.
Fuyu- Uh, excuse me... Girls? *Puts hands up, trying to stop them, but failing miserably.*
Fushigi- Why do I put up with two muses?!!
Kid- *mockingly* why do I put up with two muses? Whatever.
Fuyu- Um.. Okay, I guess this will be -my- fic now, seeing as they aren't going to take responsibility for it. Updates: As said before, Love over Life Chapter Four is written, and typed, but not posted as of yet. I'm still trying to write on it a bit more, maybe add in a few things? Heaven found in Hell is coming along and it's going very nicely. I'm getting close to the end of it. *smiles* I think that's all for now.
Kid- *pushes Fushigi out of door and locks it.* Now, we'll be finishing this. Fushigi has no say in this fic now, and send all complaints to Fuyu.
Fuyu- Oro?!
Disclaimer- I own Kid and Fuyu no Toki, nothing else. I'll trade Kid for almost anything! Please!
Chapter Three:
Rei is easily pulled along through the village by Mizuhara Max, who looks back every now and then to smile at the new boy. First stop: Village temple. They stop, pay their respects, then Max drags Rei to the center of a ring of teenagers. Rei looks them over, looking at the clothing, thier shoes.
"Hey, guys, this is-"
"Max, I'm not a guy!" Says one girl with mahogany hair. Max grins and scratches his head. "Yeah, I guess not. That was Lila Wolf. She's exactly as her name says: the black wolf. This," Max continues, ignoring the 'Black Wolf's' glares. He points out a younger looking brown haired boy. "is Lila's brother, Jibril Wolf. Beside him is Aubrey Kantrell, George, Bob, and Mi." Rei smiles at them all. "Hi."
Rei stays at this village long enough to get plenty of sleep and food (no more 'tree cookies' either). He leaves with his pack full and a new coat that breaks the biting wind a little ("And it has a hood! I can keep my ears warm now!"), and feeling happy. But the feeling doesn't last long. Soon, a blizzard forces him to stop and do his best to wait it out by a very small fire in a tent.
But the blizzard didn't seem to want to let up, and Rei was growing impatient. Finally, he leaves the little tent, not bothering to even take it down. He trudges along, trying to see two feet ahead of him, and not until he had triped over the body, literally, had he noticed it. The boy's blue hair had been completely covered up by the snow, and his skin was close to the same shade. He searches for a pulse, letting out a sigh of relief when he finds a faint, but steady, heartbeat. He picks him up, and carrying him on his back, walks back to the little tent Rei had earlier.
When the boy finally wakes up, the blizzard had let up a little, and the fire was warmer now. Rei tries to feed him some soup had had fixed, but the boy turns over, mumbling "I'm not ready to get up mom. Let me sleep a little longer." Rei pokes him with his now empty spoon. "I'm not your mom, and if you don't eat willingly-" Suddenly the boy pops up. "Food?! Where?!" Rei shows him the soup. "Aww... That's not food. That's not even an appetizer. Where's the real food?!" He looks around the tent, hoping to find some sort of meat, rice, other then soup. Rei rolls his eyes. "I'll be back then. Don't leave." Rei walks out, but the boy grabs onto his legs, knocking him down to the ground. Rei pulls his nose out of the ground, then looks behind him. "Wha~t?" The boy looks up. "Where are you going?! It's a freakin' blizzard out...." Rei lifts the door cover, revealing only a small flurries falling. "There. Oh." The boy lets go and Rei leaves.
The blue headed boy looks around. "There's got to be something fun to do while I'm waiting!" He scans the tent's area, looking for anything that can entertain him. Finally, he picks up a stick and begins to prode the fire. "Bor~ing!!" He says, then as a tiger comes through the front flap, two snow colored rabbits in it's mouth, the boy yells, stumbling to the back of the tent, saying "Nice kitty.. Nice, pretty kitty." The tiger drops the rabbits and growls, causing the boy to shudder. He hides his face.
"Hey, I'm back." Rei says, putting a hand on the shaking boy's shoulder. "AHH!" He yells, then looks up at Rei. "Oh, sorry. There was a tiger in here. Uh.. Why don't you have any clothes on?" Rei looks down at himself, then bends outside and gathers his clothes. "You don't expect to see a tiger in clothes do you?" He asks, putting his clothes back on. "Wha?" Rei laughs. "I'm a Neko-jin. I can change into a tiger at will. How did you expect me to get food?" "Food? Those rabbits? You.. Wow!! Let's eat!!!! By the way, I'm Takao!" "Rei."
It doesn't take long for the two usausa's to be completely cooked and eaten. Takao, Rei soon finds out, had an appatite to feed both for a week. "So, why were you out in the blizzard?" Takao scoffs at the Neko-jin. "You think I'd be out there without a reason eh? Not likely. Ah, my village kicked me out. I went into the Aki Forest without permission and it's a taboo to go in without. I just had to see what it was like for myself though!! It wasn't anything special. It's much like the Henshin Woods in the White Tiger Village." //What did he say!? Those Woods are sacred!!// The White Tiger growls in Rei's mind, causing him to flinch and cover his ear. Takao cocks his head, showing a confused look on his face. "Nani?" "Uh.. The White Tiger doesn't like what you've said about his Woods." Takao jumps back a bit. "You can talk? I mean, actually talk to the White Tiger Spirit?! Wow." Takao leans forward, his nose only a little ways from Rei's. "So, so.. You must be someone special then, eh?" //Yes! So pay your respects!// ::He can't hear you, you know.:: //Humph.// Rei nods shyly. "Wow. Soo.. Who are ya again?" "Kon Rei, Inheiriter of the White Tiger Village." Takao contemplates this for a minute, then sits back. "Uh.. R-really? You actually inheirited the Village? How?" "When my parents died, they left the Village to me, but I couldn't actually have it until I turned sixteen. And there's the matter of having to find a mate by the 61'st of the Yami Season."
"Wait!!"Takao bounces up. "Isn't the mate supossed to be from the village you're from?" Rei nods. "It's years and years of traditions going down the stream without a second thought." Again Rei nods. "And you're okay with that?" "I'd rather break a tradtion then mate with someone I don't love, or want." Takao sits down. "Man, why didn't I think of that?" Rei's eyes match that of a cup. "Wai--? You agree with me? But from just a second ago, you seemed ready to rip my head off." Takao shrugs. "I never really agree with tradition. Nothing special to me."
Rei looks out the tent door. "Its completely stopped now. Keep the tent. I've got to get going." Takao looks around. "Wait?! You're leaving me here alone? With no food?! How can you do that to me?!! I don't believe you." Takao crosses his arms and legs. "Fine! Leave then." Rei laughs, one eyebrow raised. "Well then, I'll see you later, Takao." With a disbelieving Takao stairing after him, Rei leaves the little tent. "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT CAT JUST LEFT ME!!!!"
~~*~~
Rei's walking hadn't stopped. He had left Takao and the tent that he now wished he'd brought behind. It was now the 22nd day of the Yami Season. He had only 39 days left before he would lose his inheiritance. But frankly, he didn't care anymore. All he wanted was to find the boy in his vision. Two toned blue hair and light blue eyes. A soft, but strong voice. These were the only things that kept him going. And the White Tiger kept giving him more, but not by choice, it seemed. Because none of them were pleasent. He kept hearing ever growning anguish and pleading in his voice. It was like someone dieing, close to him. Rei now noticed, that with each new vision, a sharp pain kept increasing in the back of his lower neck. He brushes it off, but it keeps coming back with each one.
Rei shrugs it off as a new village comes into veiw. A wide grin plays across his face, his eyes brightening. He runs toward it, hoping this was the one.
"Stop." Behind him comes a voice. It reminds him so much of the voice in the visions that he nearly throws himself on sword behind him to try and get a closer look at him. "Who are you? What's your business in this village?" Rei's smile, if possible, grows even wider. It was! It was him! The one in his vision! His journey had finally came to an end. "You, I asked you who you were!" Rei snaps out of the trance he'd placed. "Kon Rei. I'm from the White Tiger Village." Rei backs up, away from the seemingly razor sharp edge of the sword currently rising to meet his nose. "Leave, Kon. Now." The boy turns and begins to walk away, but Rei calls out to him. "Wait! Please wait. Ano.. Would you at least tell me what you're name is?" Said boy turns back around to face the Neko-jin. He raises an eyebrow, but speaks up. "Hiwatari Kai." Rei nods.
Rei smiles. "If you think you can rid of me that easily, you're wrong! You'll have to try harder then that, Hiwatari!" Kai narrows his eyes, ready to lunge at Rei, but Rei crys out, grabbing the back of his neck. He falls to his knees, trying to keep his vision straight. Kai walks over to him, cautiously approching the fallen boy. Rei takes his hand from the back of his neck and looks at it. His eyes widen when his hand comes back completely covered in his own red blood.
Rei's body is finally found lying against the trunk of a giant tree just outside the village gates, a bandage wrapped around his neck. He stirs, wincing in pain. He looks around gingerly, trying to find Kai, but with no luck, and ends up only finding a much older man staring at him. "Young man? Are you alright? Come on!" Rei is easily holsted up by the man. "We have a very well know doctor here. But, it seems like you've been well patched up. Hmm. Was there anyone else there with you, young man?" "Yes, there was. I think he belonged to this village." The man chuckles. "Then you'll have to find him and thank him." Rei nods.
The older man, whom Rei soon finds out is Albert Dickenson, takes Rei on a tour of the Red Pheonix Village not long after, showing him the other doctors, the inn, the houses, and many other places which Rei can't remember. Out of the blue, though, while talking to Albert, he over hears a conversation. "You remember that kid, on the outskirts of the village?" "Yeah, what about him?" "They say he's got a new obsession." "Really? Wow!" Rei looks at Mr. Dickenson, who was lifting his cup to his mouth. "Mr. Dickenson? Who are they talking about?" Rei asks, thinking it was Kai. Mr. Dickenson sits down his coffee, and listens to it a bit before returning his gaze to Rei. "Oh, that's just Johnny. He's never set foot in this village, but he always protects it." Rei laughs at this. It had to be wrong! It had to be Kai. He was the only one who tried to keep Rei out of the village. No one else had been around.
"That reminds me, Young Rei. Have you found the one who was with you?" Rei shakes his head. "No. I did find out his name though!" Rei says enthusiastically. Mr. Dickenson nods for Rei to tell him. "Hiwatari Kai!" Mr. Dickenson's happy look is replaced with a confused one. "Hiwatari Kai?" Rei nods. "Are you sure? Maybe you misunderstood him. It may very well of been Johnny!" Rei frowns. Why was he doubting him? "No! I know it was Hiwatari Kai! He told me so himself!" "Son, are you sure you're okay?" Mr. Dickenson places a hand to the Neko-jin's forehead. "Yes, I'm sure! Why? There has to be someone here by that name!" Mr. Dickenson begins to clean his glasses. "Mr. Dickenson! Tell me! Please. I know you know. I can tell." Mr. Dickenson places his glasses back on. "No, I shouldn't say anything. Just forget about him, Rei." Rei turns red. This man, Albert Dickenson, was telling him to forget the one the White Tiger Spirit says is his mate? No. He wouldn't do it. He swore he would find him, and he will. He wasn't going to give up if it killed him. "Mr. Dickenson, you have to tell me! Please. " Mr. Dickenson looks Rei in the eyes, the intensity from the golden orbs radiating from Rei. "Yes, alright. There was someone here by that name." "Was, Mr. Dickenson?"
"He died, over five years ago, Rei."
Kid- (03/12/04) There. This story is almost finished. One more, maybe two more, chapters left. In request to one of my reviewers, I let Rei and Kai meet in this chapter, but I never saw a request to finish it here, so I'll continue this later. Fuyu has the updates for you.
Fuyu- Kay! Heaven Found in Hell is now officially completed. So is Love over Life. The third chapters of Disappearance and Previous Events have been started, but no where near completed. *sigh* I need a break. Being a muse isn't easy work you know. Anyway! *smile* Fushigi is still outside the door, and still has no say in this. I'm now the secretary of these stories, so all review complaints go to me, kitto?
