Ch. 2 :  What Do You Do When They Come For You?

          Two days later, Miaka was coming home from cram school, traumatized from seeing her mother with a *gasp* boyfriend.  Her mother was waiting inside, and as soon as Miaka walked in the door, she slapped her.

          Miaka astonishedly said," Why the heck did you slap me?!"

          Mrs. Yuki said," I am a crappy mother, so naturally I'm over-reacting to your getting a *gasp* boyfriend.  I bet you even skipped cram school to be with him." She started crying happy tears. "I'm so proud!" 

          Miaka started yelling," WELL I SAW YOU WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND TOO!" and she slapped her mother. 

          Mrs. Yuki, now thoroughly pissed off, yelled," THAT'S IT YOUNG LADY! GO TO YOUR ROOM AND NOT A PEEP UNTIL DINNER TIME!"

          Miaka shouted," I DON'T WANNA GO TO MY ROOM!"

          Mrs. Yuki bellowed," THEN GO TO THE FRICKIN LIBRARY FOR ALL I CARE!"

          Miaka sniffled," F-fine…..maybe I will go to the library…JERK!"  Keisuke then came through the door and said," Hey, I'm home!"  Miaka tackled him, got back up to her feet, and then raced out the door to the library.

          Keisuke groaned," Ouchie…..Mommie, can you kiss my ouchie better?"

At the library, Miaka had grabbed her favorite book off the shelf and started to read.

          "See Spot.  See Spot run.  Run, Spot, run!"  She sighed.  Even the complex actions of the cute little dog couldn't calm her down.  She noticed a bunch of kids pointing and laughing at her choice of book.  Miaka thought, Maybe I should get a big, fancy book to cover up this one so that I look smart!

          And so, coincedencially, her hand reached out for The Universe of The Four Gods.  As soon as she opened it to act as decoy, however, she was swallowed up by a familiar red light, once again vanishing from the public library. 

*********

           Miaka woke up on a wagon.  Suddenly, she remembered what had happened to her.  Oh yeah! I got sucked into See Spot! Oh my gosh! I get to meet Spot and Jane! COOL!

          So Miaka hurried off to meet her heroes.  Of course, she was actually in The Universe of The Four Gods, but she didn't know that.  I mean, this is MIAKA we're talking about here.  For her, 2 + 2 = FOOD .  But anyway, on with the story. 

          Miaka was walking by a food vendor when all of a sudden, her stomach pitifully said," Feed me.  Feed me!"  The vendor, noticing her plight, said," You know, you CAN buy some food here." 

          Miaka said," Thanks but no thanks." And with that, she grabbed a bunch of hot buns and ran like the dickens.

          "GET BACK HERE!" the vendor cried in vain.  But Miaka was long gone, and the food didn't even stand a snowball's chance in hell of lasting longer than 2 seconds.

          Tamahome was in a bar doing what normal people do in bars; drinking milk.  His mind kept going back to the girl he had saved earlier.  Why can't I get her out of my mind?  I mean, I've seen pretty girls before, but for some reason a mental image of the girl with her hair in buns gorging her face out really gets my heart racing.  How come?  Suddenly, he overheard two ladies talking about a weird girl in a short skirt asking around for a dog and some girl.  Tamahome, needing no further clue, raced out of the restaurant.
