(Kibou's PoV)
I opened my eyes and found myself in a normal room.. I knew this room.. it was my old room.. Back when I lived in Japan... I can't be back.. I just can't be!.. Chichiri.. I left him.. I left him after I said I wouldn't!! I sat up quickly, I looked down at myself, my sword wasn't on me. I jumped out of the bed and reached for the knob.
"So Yui wished you out of the book and Tamahome came with you, along with Kibou?" asked the voice of Keisuke.
"Yeah." Miaka's voice answered.
"I'm home!" yelled my mother's voice.
I'm home... I'm actually home... "Why are you two in the hallway?"
"Well.. Ohne-chan's home." I heard Miaka say.
"What?! They found her, did she call?!"
"..She's home, she's in her old room, she's asleep right now."
"Oh my god."
I quickly got back in to my bed and layed down as my mother came to me. "Oh my goodness, Kibou! Your Okay!"
I turned to her. "It's good to see you too, mother."
She leaned down and hugged me. "Where have you been, you've been missing for a month! My goodness, I've never realized how much you've grown!"
That's right... Crap... I've actually been gone for 6 years.. "Well, we'll talk later, I'm just glad your home right now."
"Mother, may I do a long distance call to check on Ellyn?"
"Well... I guess so.."
"I'll pay you back mom."
She sighed. "I guess so..."
I went downstairs to the phone. I was about to reach for the phone. *K----bou-------whe----ar-----ou*
I looked around.. Chichiri?... I tried to reach him through my thoughts. *home* I tried to tell him.. I'm home.. But I have to get back!.. I have to find the Universe of the Four Gods.. Where did Miaka find the book she went through? I reached for the phone and dialed the number. I asked to know about Ellyn.
"She's left the hospital two days ago."
My jaw dropped, but I tried to hold in my excitement. "Thank you."
I hung up and call her house. "Hello?"
"Ellyn?"
"Kibou? Is that you? Oh my god, I heard you we're missing for a month!"
"From who?"
"Jason."
My lips froze when I heard his name.. "..H-he's out of prison?"
"He's out, he got out some time ago.. He's been looking for you.. He said he's sorry for what he did,"
I bit my lip and sighed. "...Ellyn... I'm coming to America... Right now, I'm finding a plane and coming there!"
"No, stay there.. I'll come to Japan, just hold on.. I'll be there.."
"I have something important to tell you, it involves Jason.. yet it doesn't.."
"..What can you tell me now?"
"...I don't love him anymore."
There was a breif silence. "..What happened to you?"
"I'll tell you when you get here."
"Ok.. I'll do it as fast as possible, I already have my pass port on hand, I'll get there.. wait for me. I was planning on coming anyway to see how your mother was doing."
"Ok bye."
"Bye, and another reason I was going to come was--ah--never mind.."
I hung the phone up.. She's safe, Ellyn's out of her coma. I'm so glad.. I went back upstairs. My mother was waiting for me. "You have explaining to do."
"After I take a bath.. If that's ok.."
My mother sighed agitated. "Fine."
I went into the bath room and turned the water on, I made a bubble bath and got in. '6 years, I haven't been able to take a normal bath... now I finally do!..But I couldn't forget.. I had to get back... No matter what, once Ellyn gets here.. I'll pay for her ticket back and I'll go back. I can't imagine how long I've been gone to Chichiri... He must be worried about me.. I looked up to the ceiling, I couldn't help but feel happy that I was finally home.
"Ohne-chan! I need to use the bathroom!" yelled Miaka from outside.
I sighed, my bath was done.. "Ok, be out in a minute.. but I need to borrow some clothes, Miaka!"
"Alright, I'll put then in your room!"
"Thanks." I yelled back and got out of the bath tub. I put a towel on around me and went out of the bathroom. "I'm going out for groceries! I'll be back soon!" my mother yelled as I heard the door close.
I went to my room and saw clothes on my bed, a red blouse and jeans. I put them on quickly and went to the door out. "Tell mom I'm going out for a bit, I'm just gonna go around town, I'll be back soon!"
I left without another word. No matter how happy it made me to see so many familiar things, I was sad. I was away from Houjun, and not even being here long, I missed him. Ever since I was together with him in Konan, I never wanted to be away from him, and I was greived by what happened around me, but I felt more comfortable when he was near..
"Houjun..I'm sorry." I whispered rubbing my arms from the wind that blew by. I walked down an empty park after a few hours, where no one was close to. The street light glowed and didn't make too much light. I sat on a bench and looked down. I heard people in the park, just a couple, then I heard footsteps in the grass nearing me. I didn't turn or even try to sense their ki.
"Kibou?" asked a familiar male's voice.
I turned around, I gasped at the person before me.. my heart filled with fear immediately.. "..Jason.." I whispered getting up.
He had become stronger, obviously, but he was a wreck, I couldn't tell when he took a shower last, it doesn't look like he had any sleep.. Was this all for me? he came around to me. "Kibou, your ok." he said about to hug me.
I took a step back. "Jason.. I.."
"..What? What happened Kibou, did something happen to you?" he asked worried as he came closer, but I just took another step back.
I shook my head. He came closer and touched my hair. "It's grown so much.. You look so much more older.."
Because I am... I am older.. I'm not 18 anymore, I'm 24. "Where have you been?" he asked looking me straight in the eyes which sent a chill down my spine.
"Away.." I said turning away not to face his eyes.. "I can't tell you... you especially."
"Why..? H-have you been with some one else." He said assuming that quickly.
Yes I have. I wanted to say, but I only stayed silent not quite sure how to answer that, worried that if I lied, he'd find out. "You have? You have, haven't you... You've been missing for a month, *cheating* on me?!"
He grabbed me by my shirt. "Who is it?! Who's the god damn mother fucker you decided to cheat on me with?!"
I just shut my eyes and didn't answer him, frightened to death, my old fear coming right back to me. "Who is it?! Tell me now!!"
He pushed me away and punched me in the face. Tears filled my eyes as I stumbled down to my knees, holding the cheek that was hit, as I started to taste the blood in my mouth. Jason came up to me and picked me up by my neck. "Don't you ever..*ever* cheat on me! I don't want you to see him ever again!"
I chocked for air and I could see my vision whiting out and finally, I felt myself scrap against the concrete pavement and fall. "..Don't let me catch you with him.. Because know this, I'll kill both of you and him if you do."
I watched him leave slowly down the road.. Why couldn't I do anything? Why didn't I do anything? Why didn't I say anything? After all those times I've been tormented by him like that.. I couldn't stick up for myself.. I couldn't even fight! I put up a fight against a stronger man then Jason, a stronger man than me! And I did what I could to kick his ass!! And now.. I couldn't do anything!! If Chichiri was here.. If he were here.. then even though I wouldn't have done anything.. He would've been right there for me, protecting me with or without his power..
Tears filled my eyes and I looked down. "Houjun.."
~*~*~*~
(Chichiri's PoV)
"Stay still Chichiri, your weak." Mitskake said calmly putting a cold wash cloth on my forehead. I attempted still to get up ignoring Mitskake's words. "You have to get some rest, I'm sure that Kibou's fine."
"..No, I have to find her! Mitskake..she's all I have left, she's my life... I just have to get to her!" I said even though it hurt my head to talk, I managed to sit up.
He layed me back down, a bit more rashly than normal. "Your in no shape!" He said raising his voice. "The only way you can contact her is through deep meditation, you tried to contact her in another world! You could've died Chichiri! If Kibou was here, she wouldn't want you up! Or to even do what stunt you just pulled off!"
I looked to the side. "..Your right.. but I can't help..but be worried.. The man that ruined her life lives in that world.. She's still afriad of him.. I know she is... I just want to be there to protect her.."
"I know Chichiri.. Just hold on.. You'll see her again." He said getting up to leave.
"How do you know? They disapeared.. we may never see them again." I said with a flat tone in my voice.
He stopped at the door. "She loves you.. No matter what, she'll fine her way back to you. It might take a while.. but don't worry, she'll be back." he said and left the room, closing the door softly behind him.
"..Thank you Mitskake." I said and closed my eyes to rest.
~*~*~*~
(Kibou's PoV)
I heard thunder off in the distance, I got out of the park and looked to the left and right, right was the way home.. Left.. the library.. Miaka said that.. She had found the book in the National Library.. It's time I went there, alot time has passed for Chichiri... I just have to get back! I started running, time was wasting, I had to get to him fast. Dodging people who were hurrying inside before the storm hit, I kept running.
When I was almost a quarter mile from there.. I saw my mother, damn it! I was so close. I stopped to catch my breath, my mother came up to me. "What are you doing out so late, Kibou?"
"..I wanted to see the town.. been away a while.."
My mother frowned. "That's no excuse."
I nodded and looked down. "..I'm sorry." was all I could say.
"Did you see Jason?" She asked as we started walking. She held some groceries that I offered to carry.
I only nodded, not having a spoken response.
"..I see, I saw him today, just a little bit ago..He seemed to be in a foul mood. When I asked him.. He said that it was you.."
I looked up to my mother in shock. "Well.. I..I..."
"He said you were cheating on him." She said her tone getting more and more serious.
"I-I.. He--mom..I-" I stuttered but the words wouldn't come..
My mother frowned in disapointment. "No daughter of mine will cheat!"
Like a scary coincedence, right at that moment, a roll of thunder roared through the air and I felt rain starting to come down. "Apologize to Jason, he's been trying so hard." She said firmly taking the groceries and walking ahead of me.
I stood there, angry and surprised at my mother. She doesn't understand, she doesn't know how much I have suffering from all the pain from Jason.. I'm not going to go back and APOLOGIZE to Jason! She's crazy! The same thing will happen like it did before.. The rain started to pour and I fell to my knees. I watched my mother leave my sight as tears of anger filled my eyes..but I didn't let them fall.. I looked down. "What am I suppose to do.."
"Don't forget! Someone's waiting for you.. in both worlds to see you." said familiar feminine voice.
My eyes widened and I turned quickly. "Nuriko?"
There was nothing there.. The sound of the rain softly tapping on the ground was the only sound.. The rain was the only thing there.. I got up. "...Both worlds?.. Ellyn!.. God, I almost forgot about her.." I chuckled softly. "..Here I am.. Only worrying about something that's not in this world.. when some one can't wait to see me... Nuriko... You always seemed to know what's right.." I said getting up, he's still there for me, like my guardian angel.
~*Next Day*~
I came home at around 3 o' clock in the morning, I slept in untill 1 o' clock in the afternoon. When I woke, I felt as if it was a normal day, waking up in a normal room, with my family.. in Japan.. I felt as if I didn't have a care in the world. When I sat up, I realized a necklace around my neck. I looked down, the ring Chichiri and I shared... maybe that was why Chichiri was able to communicate with me, but being so far away from the book, that must've been the only way he could've communicated with me.. I layed back down.. I need to get back to him.. But I'm not doing anything untill I see Ellyn though.
There was a knock at my door. "Ohne-chan! Ellyn-san's here!" yelled Miaka's voice from outside the door.
I jumped up out of my bed and ran out the door and downstairs where Ellyn was waiting. I glanced over to the living room expecting to see Keisuke watching TV, but it was Tamahome, looking at the TV shocked. Then I remembered that Tamahome came with us, I looked back to Ellyn. "It's so good to see you again, Elly." I said giving her a big hug.
"Good to see you too, Kibou." she said hugging me back.
"I have alot to tell you.. There's so much that happened.. Come on.."
I lead her upstairsto my room and she sat on my bed. "Wow... You look like so much older.. Where you doing drugs?"
"What the hell?! Why in the heck would I be doing drugs?"
"I dunno.. I haven't heard anything, I'm just assuming."
I smiled. "You never changed, even after your coma.. Thank god.. But I am older.. I'm 24."
"oh.... ok...woah.. ok.. What happened now?"
"Ok.. Ellyn.. I don't know if you'll believe me.. but I am 24, I've been in another world for 6 years.. given powers of wisdom.. and gradually fell in love with a man who helped me since the begining.. Always being there for me." I explained slowly.
Ellyn nodded slowly. "...Wow.."
"You believe me right?"
She nodded again. I smiled.. Ellyn, the type who believed paranormal things, and junk like that.. She knows that I wouldn't of had her come all the way to Japan to just tell her a lie. "I know I'm not going into detail... I just don't have time right now...But..just know...His name's Chichiri.. but his real name's Houjun."
"..Ok. That made absolutely no sense.."
"There's something called the Suzaku seishi.. I was one of them....so..Ah, I'll explain it to you later... Come on, you have to come with me, I have to get back to the other world."
She smiled. "I'm glad you found your true love."
I nodded. "Help me pick something out to wear."
She got up and to open my closet. She looked at the mirror to fix her hair and I just stared out the window, waiting. There wasn't any movement for several moments, I looked back to Ellyn, I couldn't see myself behind Ellyn, but I saw her face shocked. "What's wrong Elly?"
"..Kibou..you..you.."
She moved out the mirror's way. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped, I had no reflection!

"..Ok. That made absolutely no sense.."
"There's something called the Suzaku seishi.. I was one of them....so..Ah, I'll explain it to you later... Come on, you have to come with me, I have to get back to the other world."
She smiled. "I'm glad you found your true love."
I nodded. "Help me pick something out to wear."
She got up and to open my closet. She looked at the mirror to fix her hair and I just stared out the window, waiting. There wasn't any movement for several moments, I looked back to Ellyn, I couldn't see myself behind Ellyn, but I saw her face shocked. "What's wrong Elly?"
"..Kibou..you..you.."
She moved out the mirror's way. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped, I had no reflection!
