Twin Rivalry

Disclaimer: I do not own any Sailor Moon or Fushigi Yuugi characters.

A/N: I haven't updated in a long time! I finally had enough time after school to write this. Enjoy!

Last Chapter: The Seiryuu seishi warriors plot to trick the Suzaku seishi warriors by sending a false Suzaku seishi warrior, Amiboshi, to pretend to be one of them. In doing this, the Miko of Suzaku would lose the power to grant their wish when burning the sacred rolls. While the Seiryuu empire are making their master plan, the Suzaku seishi warriors already know that their Miko is going to arrive soon. In Tokyo, Minako and Usagi are in the library to study, due to failing grades on a test. Minako soon finds the book of the four gods and is taking in with her sister.

Chapter 2: The Miko of Suzaku and Seiryuu

Snapping her eyes wide open, Minako shot up into a sitting position. Holding her forehead from the massive headache she had, she darted her eyes at her surroundings.

"Where am I? What is this place?" she asked herself as she saw trees around her. She had guessed she was somewhere in a forest.

Getting up unsteadily she held onto a tree to stable herself.

"Usagi?" she called out to her sister when she noticed that her twin was nowhere insight.

Getting no reply she set out to go look for her odangoed sister and maybe be able to find someone to help here with her problem.

Minako kept her eyes open as she felt very uncomfortable in the vast forest alone. She felt like she was a small bug compared to the high trees. They were incredibly tall.

Hearing a low growl behind her, she spun round to face a lion. Eyes widening with shock she dared not move as her mind screamed with fright.

'Oh my god, oh my god. I'm too young to die!!! Wait a sec, how could a lion be in the forest??'

Gulping, Minako managed to say in a shaky and squeaky voice, "Nice kitty, good kitty..." but she had no luck as his eyes still held hunger in them.

'Oh god, what do I do?'

Minako slowly moved her left foot back behind her as she began to walk backwards slowly. But the lion caught on quickly and growled, showing his daggered fangs at her.

"AAAHH!!!" she finally took off into a sprint as she screamed; the lion close behind. Minako wasn't able to go far though when she reached a cliff.

"Get away from me if you know what's good for you!" she screamed, throwing a pebble at the lion's head.

But unluckily for her, he growled loud from frustration and leaped at the frightened blonde.

"AAAAHH!!!" she screamed as she closed her eyes shut and embraced herself for the blow. But to her surprise she felt hands grabbing her body had lifting her into the air.

Feeling no pain from the lion's daggered teeth or claws, Minako slowly opened her eyes. She saw a young very striking boy. He had dirty blonde/brown hair and a blue bandanna was wrapped around his forehead.

"Are you alright Miss? He asked kindly, giving her a warm smile.

Blushing a bit, she managed to nod. "Thank you" she peeped.

Realizing that he was still holding her, she looked down below. What she saw wasn't what she had expected. The young boy had saved her from the hungry lion by picking her up and jumping to the nearest highest tree where the lion couldn't catch them.

"Oh my god" she shrieked from seeing the distance she was from the ground. She flung her arms over her young hero's neck from fright.

Amused at Minako's behavior the boy began to jump down each branch to satisfy her.

"Sorry about that. It was the only way to escape the lion. I had not intended to scare you from your fright of heights." He apologizes.

Minako heard him and answered, "I'm not scared of heights. It just that this is just way to high."

The blonde was amazed at how the boy landed on each branch smoothly, not messing up any landing. She also noticed how cute he looked when the wind would blow through his face, making his hair dance with it.

When reaching solid ground, he let her down and she praised the land that she walked on. She kissed the grass and hugged the trees to show how much she really was happy that she wasn't on top of the trees anymore.

Sweat dropping a bit at Minako's weird actions, the boy spoke again. "My name's Amiboshi." He said politely by bowing to the girl.

"My I ask what's yours?"

Minako blushed again and softly answered, "Minako."

"Minako... what a pretty name. I like it." He informed as she blushed deeper.

A loud growl interrupted them as they turned to face the same lion that had tried to eat Minako. He was panting heavily demonstrating that he had run a great distance to go look for his runaway meal.

"Ah! I thought we lost him?!" Minako cried as Amiboshi went in front of her in a protective way.

"Well I guess he was too enlightened with his meal's beauty that he couldn't forget about you." he answered as the lion took a step forward.

Just understanding what Amiboshi had just said, Minako blushed again. (I know. She blushes way too many times. But hey, wouldn't you blush to such a handsome guy?)

"Get ready to run Minako" Amiboshi suggested as he took a step back from the lion. Every time he took a slow step back, Minako did the same thing.

The lion growled at Amiboshi as his eyes darted from him to Minako, who was behind the boy. Licking his lips he went closer and closer.

"What are we going to do?" she whispered as she felt her back pressed against the tree they were just on.

'Why can't this stupid lion just leave me alone?!!' she screamed in her mind as she held onto Amiboshi's shoulders as he bumped into her.

'I haven't even found my sister yet. Hey, he smells good.' Minako shook her head to get that precise thought out of her mind.

'God Minako. You can't be thinking about boys now! You're about to die!'

Amiboshi looked around him to see if there were any ways he could get the lion to go away. Seeing none he darted his eyes back at the hungry beast.

'Shit. I haven't even reached Konan yet and it's just a couple of more miles away. Wait...'

Amiboshi had an idea storming in his mind. He went to reach for his flute when deciding on using his magic to kill the lion. But before he could get a holed of it, the lion leaped in the air raising his claws in away to strike the boy. But the creature failed as the lion felt a great pain on his side. He let out one last growl at his victims before going unconscious.

Minako looked at the lion with a puzzled look. She, unlike Amiboshi, had not noticed the five boys around them. One of them with purple hair had elbowed the lion's side with his Suzaku gift of strength.

A dark brown/grayish hair had his sword in his hand ready for action but soon discarded it and went towards the two teenagers. Minako then noticed all the five boys around her.

"Who... who are you?" she manged to ask.

The one with long dark brown/grayish hair, Hotohori, was the first to speak. "Priestess. We have been expecting you."

~@~@~@~@~

The skies overhead of Kutou were dark and dreary. A storm was brewing as the black clouds let out a rumble. A pigtailed blonde was roaming around the marketplace as she looked around for a specific blonde twin.

"Minako... where are you?" she asked worriedly as she looked at the path she was going.

The market was closing soon since the thunderstorm was heading their way. Hugging herself for warmth, Usagi went to look for a place to stay to get out of the rain. But she had no luck when the raindrops started to fall hard on top of her head, soaking her from head to toe.

"I want to go home" she whined, beginning to panic.

"Minako where are you? Come on I want to go home!!" she screamed to no in particular as she began to weep.

Falling to her knees, Usagi buried her face in her palm and cried, not caring if anybody saw her. She wanted Minako to show up. She wanted to get out of here... wherever here was. Usagi felt scared for her life and worried for Minako's.

Just then, horses came closer to her. The pigtailed blonde could hear its hooves toddle on the muddy road. She looked up with her burning puffy blue eyes to see four men towering over her on horses. They had a hint of mischief in their eyes. Usagi sensed it right away and fear struck her.

"What's the matter doll face? What's with the tears?" one guy asked with his husky voice. Usagi could tell they weren't drunk and that they knew what they were doing by the tone of their voice.

"Um... I......." she began as she tried to stand up.

Another guy got off his horse and walked towards the girl, making her stiffen in terror.

"Don't worry babe, I'll make you feel all better. Why don't you come here and give me a kiss?" he asked; his voice very crispy in the damp air.

"Get... ge... get away from me" she said fearfully.

Seeing him not falling back, Usagi got up on her own two feet and turned to run. But she didn't make it on time when she felt a tight grip on her right arm and left shoulder.

"No!!! Let me go!!!" Usagi screamed as she felt tears come back down again. She felt the rain stinging her soft delicate skin as the raindrops fell harder. The blonde struggled out of the man's grip, making them laugh evilly.

"You're not getting away from us girl." One of the guys on the horse said as he got off his horse to help Usagi's captor.

"Let go!!! Minako!!! Please Minako!!! Where are you?!!!!" Usagi cried and screamed at the top of her lungs, dreading what the four strangers will do to her.

Usagi then surprisingly felt the guy, that had first took hold of her, loosen his grip until he wasn't even holding her any longer. She heard the two men still on their horses gasp in shock and then let out a painful scream. The second guy that got off his horse was already on the floor, blood dripping down his jaw.

The pigtailed twin stared in horror as she fell to her knees weak. Usagi heard the horses ran away quickly as possible when their master had fallen off of them but did not notice the figure near her.

"Are you alright?" a male voice asked, making Usagi look up to see dark blue eyes.

A boy was standing before her, on his knees to get a better look at the scared girl. He had dirty blonde/brownish hair and a royal blue bandanna wrapped around his forehead. The young hero had a worried expression on.

"Yes... thank you..." Usagi said softly not noticing the crimson color covering her cheeks. "Who are you?" she asked when being helped up by him.

"My name's Suboshi. I'm from the palace. And what might your name be?" he asked.

"Usagi" she answered shyly. She was not very comfortable with his eyes on her. She could tell he was examining her with his eyes wondering around.

Suboshi was indeed studying her but he was a bit taken aback by her clothes. They looked very weird in his kingdom and her hairstyle was most peculiar.

"Let me guess, you're not from around here are you." he asked when their eyes finally met again.

"No... I don't even know where here is" she explained, making Suboshi raise an eyebrow.

'What an odd girl. Although... she is... pretty' Suboshi thought examining her again.

"Suboshi, what is taking you so long?" an older male's voice asked.

Usagi turned her head to the right to see a man on a white horse. He had a very weird looking helmet on, blue eyes piercing out of a blue cloth covering his mouth and nose. (lol, I'm not sure if you guys have noticed but I thought Nakago's helmet was very funny looking when I first saw it ^_^)

"Sorry Nakago. I was just helping someone." Suboshi answered as the General of the Army in Seiryuu made his horse go closer to them.

"So I see." Nakago stared at Usagi up and down, noticing her odd clothes immediately. "Why do you have such strange clothes on girl?" he asked harshly.

"I... I don't know... back in my home your clothes would look weird." Usagi ansewered, making a slight grin form in the corner of Suboshi face. He was sort of pleased at how she insulted the blonde seishi without noticing it.

Nakago looked at her sternly when realizing who exactly was the girl in front of her. His expression changed.

"I completely understand priestess of Seiryuu. I'm pretty sure all our clothes here are unusual to you."

Suboshi let out a sudden gasp and shot his head towards the pigtailed girl.

'She's our Miko?' he asked himself, stunned.

Usagi cocked her head to one side and raised an eyebrow. She was completely confused with the general's words.

"Priestess?" she asked.

To Be Continued...

A/N: MOWAAHHHAHAHAHAHA!!! You thought Minako was going to the Seiryuu side hey? Well I read a really good fic that has SM/FY crossover in it and Minako was Seiryuu's priestess. So I wanted to try that particular crossover but wanted Minako to be the star of the show ^_^. After all, I am a Minako-fan.

I know that Amiboshi was supposed to act as Chiriko but the small lad was already found. I bet you're thinking I should have had Amiboshi act as Tamahome or Tasuki then but I decided to change it a bit. The Suzaku Seishi will not know the name of their two fellow warriors that they are in search for so they will think Amiboshi is their teammate.
