Chapter 3: The Forest of Unknown
This child...looks just like Tamahome, but how can that be so? And why did he just call me his mom? Miaka wondered while staring a gape at the boy. Cho-Ryu grabbed Miaka's sleeve and tugged it gently.
"Come on mom, dad's been worried sick and so has Miang-Le!"
"Miang-Le?" she said with a questioning look on her face, "Do I have a daughter too?"
"Did you run into a wall again?! Yes you have a daughter, and yes I'm your son who was sent by father to come find you."
She kneeled down and patted Cho-Ryu's head. "So tell me, your father...what is his name?"
"Tamahome is his name, a powereful martial artist and he once told me he was one of a group of Selestial Warriors. He said that you were a beautiful priest and that you came from another world. He always talks about you and when you ran off he got scared."
Miaka put her left hand over her chest and whispered, "Tamahome and I are together, truly together at last." But then she tought of something else. If this world had finally become real, and she and Tamahome were finally together, what became of the other warriors? Then there's Yui, her friend who once despised her but has resolved the difference between them. Had she stayed in this book as well or was she brought back to the other world-their world?
She would not understand, not know what was going on unless she tested herself. Right now her only lead to believe anything was 3ft tall, cute and self-proclaimed as her son.
"Alright Cho-Ryu," she said with a straight face, "I think I'm ready to go home now."
"Glad to hear it mom. Now I hope you can remember how to get there, cause I sorta lost my way about the moment I came in these woods."
She swallowed her breath nervously. There way no way she could know how to get out of here, she didn't even now how she came. But being Cho- Ryu's mom and a mom to another she know she'd have to figure something out if they were going to get out alive.
Miaka grabbed hold of Cho-Ryu and dashed through the forest as fast as she could. Nightfall was approaching quicker than she wanted and she was terrifyied of things that lurked in the shadows. So she kept running and urging her son to move along at the same pace yet the young clutz tripped over a rock and fell on his face. Miaka giggled.
"Are you (laugh) okay Cho-Ryu?" she asked with a smile.
He got back on his feet and brushed himself off. "Yeah, I'm fine. I may look like my dad but I think most of my genes ore from you."
Miaka's face puffed red but soon turned pale as she heard something approach the two meanacinglly. She grabbed Cho-Ryu close and took refuge behind another tree. Putting one hand over his mouth Miaka tried to reassure her son that no harm would come to him.
"Don't make any sounds Cho-Ryu, if we keep quiet maybe it'll leave."
He nodded and slightly glanced at the unknown trespasser. Though he couldn't make out any important details he noticed that whatever it was it was indeed human and could not pose any threat.
"Mom, I think it's just another person lost in here, or maybe he can tell us how to get out."
He tiptoed slowly towards the entity and formed a traditional greeting.
"Cho-Ryu come back here! We don't know who that is or if – CHO-RYU!"
A hand reached out to the boy and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, pulling him into darkness.
"Cho-Ryu come back here! I...can't be here without you...!"
How's that for suspense! By the way I read the review I got and thanks. I'd been wondering if I spelled Suzaku right! More to come!
