o umm...sorry bout the 'ka-chan thing I should've explained. And yupyup right you are
the person who said it was a shortened version of oka-chan or oka-san or whatever.
'Ka-chans different from oka-chan or oka-san in the sense that 'ka-chan's generally
more of a punkypunk way to say mom oka-chan. Recca in Flame of Recca uses this to
refer to his mother to give visual aid.

Usagi stared up the ceiling trying to sort out her feelings. It had been
a month since she had arrived in this strange place. Was it a different world? She
couldn't say she was never allowed to venture beyond Nakago's room. Who lived
in this place? The only people Usagi had met was Nakago but sometimes through
the doors the heard the giggles of women and the small talk of what seemed to
be guards from their clanking armor. She blushed as she thought of Nakago. The
only reason she didn't break out of here was because of him. At first she had thought
of Nakago as a brother guiding her in a new world but the night before a week ago Nakago
had tried to kiss her and when she reject his kiss because of Mamoru he had confessed his
love for her. She remembered that night clearly.
**************************************************************
FLASHBACK
It had been drizzly and all Usagi could do was lie on the bed and listen
to the pattering and wait for Nakago. He had been acting funny this morning and she
wanted to know why. She got up as he entered.
"Sorry," he apologized, "The meeting was long."
She shook her head, "No, don't be its not your fault....Nakago-san,
I don't understand why I can't leave your quarters."
He took a long time before answering, "It's dangerous. There are
those outside these walls who if they knew of your existence would surely try
to kill you..."
"Oh....I see...." Usagi looked down disappointed.
"You know..." Nakago said, "You look especially beautiful tonight."
Usagi squealed inwardly but outwardly with grace and poise smiled and
batted her eyelashes. They stood staring at each other until without warning Nakago
made a sudden movement towards her and before she knew it he was lowering his
head down to meet hers. She pushed him away.
"Why? I love you," Nakago said.
Usagi shivered. The way he said I love you was the same way he
said everything, emotionlessly and calculatingly. "No, I-I'm not ready...There's some
else back in my world...."
"You're never going back to your world. Forget about him. Someday,
I want us to get married and I don't think I can wait that long" Nakago
responded.
"But...But..."
"Think it over during the night." Nakago guided her firmly to the bed
and after making sure she was tucked in turned to his head on the ground. He
blew out the candle. When he heard Usagi's deep breathing he smiled. It was
only a matter of time before the girl gave in and granted him immortality.
**********************************************************************
With a very handsome man confessing his love for her, all the food she could eat,
no tests to take, no annoying teachers to put up with, and no wake up time it truly did
seem like heaven. But it was driving her nuts. 'ARRRRRGGGG!!!!' she screamed
in her mind, "DOESN'T HE KNOW YOUNG GIRLS HAVE ENERGY TO
BURN?????????????' She continued ranting on until the door opened. She jumped
up from the bed expecting Nakago but instead a strange red headed woman
stood there.
The red head stood there smirking at her, "Hmph! So the rumors are
true Nakago has been keeping a woman in his room.....or should I say a girl?
To think I was actually worried! So tell me the truth, what nasty tricks did you
play on Nakago to make him bring you here? Are you his personal
concubine?" she demanded.
Usagi turned red in the face and shook her head furiously, "No!
It's not that! Nakago-san....he brought me here and-"
The woman glared at her ferociously, "SHUT UP! First you DARE
call him by the title less than sama and now.....you LIE TO MAKE IT SEEM
LIKE IT'S NAKAGO'S FAULT????" She raised up her hand to strike
Usagi and Usagi readied hers to punch her back when a hand shot out of the door
and grabbed the woman's to twist it behind the woman's back.
"Soi. Don't touch her or Seiryuu seishi or not, I'll kill you!
Go outside and wait for me there!" Nakago pulled her out and a seething Soi
took time to glare at Usagi more before being shoved out. "Please excuse
Soi. Are you hurt?" he asked seeming concerned.
Usagi shook her head and satisfied at that Nakago excused himself.
Usagi sat on her bed trying to figure out what the heck was wrong. "Jeez!" she
said aloud to herself, "I'm tired of figuring things out...." She got up off of the bed
and crept into the place outside the bedroom. It was an enormous hall with lavish
decorations that had awaited her outside the door. She looked around quickly and
making sure nobody was there she followed the footsteps every now and then
darting behind one of the columns if anyone happened to pass by the hall.
**********************************************************************
"Who is she and WHAT is she doing in your room?" Soi demanded.
"She is.....the key to immortality. Her husband and her guardians will
automatically share in her immortality, so I suggest you start changing your behavior
towards her." Nakago said. Seeing the still bitter expression on her face he continued
on, "Don't worry after I gain the immortality I'll find a way to get rid of her. She's annoying."
'Oh,' Soi purred inwardly, 'then we can be immortal together forever....'
They continued on talking never noticing the girl leaning against the column
facing away from them crying, until she got up and ran away. "Who was that?" Nakago asked.
"Probably one of the kings concubines going off to tell her friends. But
Nakago don't you want me to help in the capture of the Suzaku no Miko and
her two seishi?" Soi wandered off topic. She inwardly gloated at having seen two twin
streams of hair running away from herself and Nakago. 'And hopefully,' she added,
'from Nakago's life.'
"No. Your presence should be a surprise for them. Tamahome can take
care of them."
**********************************************************************
Usagi ran until she felt her legs would fall off. Finally she collapsed on
the ground and after getting her breath back she looked around at her surroundings.
She was outside but funny she didn't remember walking outside. Usagi was
comforted by the full moon and the breeze that carried with it a sweet scent.
But then taking hold of her other senses she realized someone was shouting up
ahead. Curious she wobbled up and walked to the direction the sound was
coming from. A reddish orange haired youth was shouting various curses and
struggling to get free of the ropes that bound him to the pillar. Then noticing her
presence he turned to her and they stared at each other in shock. They stayed
that way until a bird cawing broke whatever spell had held them there. Usagi
became flustered, 'I umm...I-I y-you see. Umm...."
The youth seeing her school uniform panicked, "I-I'm a guard!!!
Yea! I deliberately tied myself here so I can do my job better!" Seeing she
wasn't buying it he panicked even more.
"Y-you...." Usagi observed his clothes and way of speaking
critically, "Your not from around here....are you?"
"I...What're you talking about?!" The youth scoffed, "Acourse I
am! Now untie me!"
She stared at him a long time, which unnerved him before breaking
into a small smile. She walked over to his side and gently untied him and stood
there watching him waiting for him to run away.
He was about to go in the direction he had seen Miaka go off
but he paused to turn to his rescuer. "Hey you..." he said seeing her red rimmed
eyes, "Are you......ok?"
"Yea! Of course!" Usagi rubbed her eyes and laughed a bit
at how there was so much dust in the air. "But," she looked up at him,
"No...It's nothing. Never mind." And she waited again for him to leave
but again he didn't.
He stayed there staring at her a bit. "You..." he said taking
in her appearance, "you have anywhere to go?" Usagi shook her head
and the youth stood silent for a moment before saying, "Then come with
me and my friends. I'm Tasuki."
"Usagi," she responded and they were about to set off towards
Miaka with Tasuki leading the way when, "Tasuki, our covers blown! We
gotta get out of here-Huh? Where's Miaka and who's this girl?" A face
jumped up in front of Usagi. She stifled a shriek and fell back.
"I know, I know," Tasuki patted her sympathetically, "Chichiri's
face IS scary. Don't worry you'll get used to it."
"Thats rude[no da]! But where's....." Chichiri turned to Usagi,
"Don't tell me....Miaka! You learned to transform?!?!?!"
"Ummmm...no...." Usagi's mind raced rapidly for how he could
know about her being Sailor Moon, "I-I-I'm just a plain girl! Seriously! My
name's Usagi!!! Really!"
"Oh[no da]," Chichiri looked disappointed, "Then where's Miaka?"
"Damn it....she tied me up and ran off," Tasuki rubbed his shoulder.
"Miaka did? I've heard of carelessness but this...[no da]" Chichiri
looked over at Tasuki as if reevaluating him.
"I told you! I HATE girls! They don't play fair!" Tasuki grumbled.
"Ummm....I'm a girl..." Usagi volunteered the information helpfully.
"That's nice[no da]. We have to get Miaka[no da]. Are you
coming with us?" Chichiri asked her urgently glancing behind him for guards.
"OK! I mean....if you want me to...." Usagi scratched her head
sheepish at having to dump her problems on others.
"Then let's go[no da]!" And with that Chichiri grabbed both
Usagi and Tasuki and ran with them as fast as he could.
**********************************************************************
When they got there Tamahome swung at Miaka's head and
Tasuki rushed ahead of the group in lightning quick speed rescuing Miaka
from death but getting injured himself in the process. Usagi ran over lagging
behind the rest. A month of no exercise sure took its toll on the body.
As she sucked her breath it and hoped to God all the cramps on her body
would disappear her mind raced as to exactly what was going on. 'Apparently,'
she thought, 'A girl that Tasuki and Chichiri both care about was being attacked
by that man. Hmm...she must be pretty to have both Tasuki and Chichiri love
her but I couldn't see her very well. Funny, that her name should be Miaka...but
that man. Why did that girl stay still in front of that man?' She froze in shock
now that the girl was within her view.
Note: I worship the ground Soi walks on. Although she may be pretty pathetic
doting on Nakago, she is one of the better female characters in Fushigi Yuugi.
The way I depicted her here was the jealous angry girlfriend, but don't worry
I'll bring out her other sides in future chapters.
Another note: Chichiri's face(mask) is one of the cutest around but it still gives
me a heart attack when it pops into the screen out of nowhere and it scared
me to death when he pulled it off. (also note: Chichiri's face/mask is identical to
Tama's(the cat) as proven in ep. 18)
