Disclaimer: If I owned Fushigi Yugi, do you think I'd /ever/ let Tasuki (or Chichiri) outta my sight?! (Aka-I don't own it.wahh!!! ;_;) I do own Mikaela/Miki. And the other characters that don't appear in the anime/manga (unless otherwise mentioned.)

Review Thanks:
Chibichibi386: Yay! Thank you for reading chapter 2! Yeah, I just had to make Tasuki ticklish-he has to have /some/ weaknesses, ne? ^^
Songwind: Thank you for reading!! (I /really/ will read Bishonen and Bishojo.soon! *Bonks self on head* I need to focus, /focus/!! ~_~;;) I don't remember if you read this before I posted it.ah well. Hehe-you prolly didn't.hopefully you'll like the path I've taken the story. ^_~
Metajoker: The slashes like in "I /knew/ it was going to happen." Are the same as when you underline a word for emphasis.I just like the slashes better. ^^
^_______^: I'm glad you thought it was funny. ^_^
Ryochan8: hehe I liked writing that part with Tasuki. I don't know if you (or anyone else) caught some of the parts that related kinda to the actual story.(i.e. the boob phobia from his mom) Anyway, thanks for continuing to read!!

Chapter 3: Arrival
Thankfully, the rest of the trip was uneventful, and they reached the palace gates at midafternoon.
A group of men were waiting for them. One of the men went to talk to Chichiri, and the others bowed.
"Your Highness. We are glad that you have returned. There are matters we need to discuss with you," said one of the king's advisors.
Hotohori walked forward, sighing. "Yes, there are always matters to attend to. Meet us in our chambers in ten minutes." Then he walked away to his chambers after saying goodbye to his companions.
Miki just stood there with her mouth hanging open.
Tasuki chuckled evilly, "Surprised, brat?"
Nuriko hit him, which succeeded in blasting Tasuki across the courtyard, only stopped by an inconveniently placed wall. "Don't be an @$$, Tasuki. You were even more shocked the first time than Miki. Hmm, we need to get you a room, Miki. I think there's an empty one by me you can have. I'll take you to it."
Nuriko led Miki away, leaving Tasuki with the rest of the stuff since Miaka had disappeared to the kitchen and to check on Tamahome, who hadn't come on the trip because he had chicken pox. (A/N: Lame, I know..just go with it..it's my fic!!) Chichiri and Mitsukake went to wherever they had gone to talk-probably to Hotohori's chambers.
~~~~~~
Miki followed Nuriko down the corridor. Finally, they reached the door to Miki's new room.
Nuriko opened the door and Miki walked in, staring. It wasn't as though she hadn't seen anything this nice before, it was just that even this empty room seemed more welcome than any room in her entire house, which /was/ rather expansive.
Nuriko grinned. "Just make yourself at home. Tasuki should be here shortly with your stuff. If you need anything, I'm right next door." He turned and started walking out, then turned back, "Oh, yeah. I'll come get you for dinner in a bit. You have enough time if you wish to clean up, though." With that, he left, leaving Miki to stare at her new home; at least until Tasuki came pounding on her door, that is.
~~~~~
Tasuki grumbled. He sighed. At least there weren't /too/ many. Hotohori's bags had been taken by his servants, so Tasuki just went down the corridor, taking the bags to each room. When he got to Nuriko's room, he remembered to ask where Miki's room was.
Nuriko pointed next door. "That's his."
"Thanks, Nuri." Tasuki went over and pounded on the boy's door.
Miki opened the door, glaring at Tasuki. "/Must/ you /pound/ on the door? I'm not deaf, ya know."
Tasuki grinned, showing his fangs. "H*ll yeah! How else would I annoy you?!"
Miki sighed and took his bag from Tasuki. "Whatever. Thanks fer bringin' m'bag." And with that, he closed the door in Tasuki's face.
The red-haired man growled at the door until he heard snickering, then he growled at Nuriko before stomping across the hall to his room. He went in, slamming the door, kicked off his boots and flopped on his bed, determined to take a nap before dinner.
~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Miki unpacked, and then took a bath to get off all the dust from walking. Afterwards, she carefully rebound her chest and got dressed.
Miki didn't know how long it was until dinner, but she figured she'd explore the palace a little before eating. Once she had closed the door of her room, the girl realized she should probably ask where she could go and where she couldn't.
Thus decided, Miki went and knocked on Nuriko's door.
He opened it shortly. "Yes? Oh! Hi, Miki," he said cheerfully. Miki smiled, "Hi, Nuriko. Umm.I hate to bug you, but.do you think you could show me around the palace. I wanna explore, but I don't wanna get lost or in trouble."
Nuriko grinned. "Say no more," he said, pulling the door shut behind him. "It would be my pleasure."
Miki sighed with relief, "Thanks, Nuriko."
He smiled, "No prob. Now, anyplace you want to see first?"
"Ummm..the library and the gardens!"
"All righty then! Off to the library!" Nuriko exclaimed, and the two set off down the hall, chatting excitedly.

Sorry it's a little short. I hope the plot's not moving /too/ fast, but this is how it came to me, so this is how I wrote it. Don't worry: if you do like it, there's quite a few more chappies till I'm finished with this fic. ^_~ ~R.A.
