The Universe of the four gods
Disclaimer: I do not own Fushugi Yuugi yada yada yada you guys all know that Yu Watase owns it *sigh*
This is gonna be an extra little long so sit back, relax and enjoy! (When I mean little I actually mean a lot)
The beginning of this chapter is sorta boring so just skip it if you are in a hurry or something
Miaka was still a little dazed as she opened the door to the apartment. Before she knew it she was knocked down by a little fluffy ball.
"Ahhh! Menchi! Gerroff!"
Miaka gently pushed her new dog off her face and stood up, Menchi rolled on the ground staring adorably at her.
"You sure are one happy pup" said Miaka as she walked to her bedroom, she dumped her bag on the floor and sat on her bed looking at Menchi who was still gazing adorably up at her.
"I guess you're glad that I bought you off your previous owner what's her name? Excel or something..."
Upon hearing her name Menchi ran to Miaka's closet and pulled out a bow and heaps of arrows, slinging them over his shoulder he ran over to her drawers and pulled out two shotguns with a belt, strapping them on his waist he ran to the kitchen and grabbed a butcher knife and ran back to Miaka's bedroom and pulled a rifle from under her bed, then proceeded to take daggers from under her pillow and slipping them on the spare spaces left on his belt, taking the rifle with his two paws he quickly reloaded it.
"Wow Menchi, that's a cool trick, did she teach you that?" asked Miaka as she watched him look around her room
But Menchi was too busy peering into her rubbish bin to take notice.
With a sigh Miaka padded to the kitchen and proceeded to cook dinner, she was almost done when someone came in through the front door.
Miaka peeped around the door frame to see who it was.
"Keisuke!"
Miaka ran up to her brother and gave him a huge hug.
"Miaka! You're home early" said Keisuke as he gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Cooked dinner yet?"
"Just about finished"
"Great! I'm starving"
2 Hours later...
Miaka walked out of her room and knocked on Keisuke's door.
"Come in"
Miaka walked into her brother's room and looked around, there was a blue bed in the corner of his blue painted walls and there was also a blue carpet; in fact everything was blue, Miaka spotted Keisuke swinging on a blue chair next to his blue desk.
"Have you finished studying Miaka?"
"Yup"
"Okay, so what did you want to talk to me about?"
"I was just wondering why mum isn't home yet"
"She told me she was staying at Aunt Haruka's place for a little while"
"Oh... can you please tell her that I'm staying at Yui's place for a night or two"
"Yeah sure"
"Thanks, night Keisuke"
"Night Miaka"
That night...
Miaka felt something touch her gently on the cheek and slowly opened her eyes, she found herself staring into the eyes of a red bird that was bending over her bed.
Miaka smiled sleepily this is the coolest dream I've ever had she thought as she watched it stand up.
"No, this isn't a dream, this is real, but if you don't believe me then I will not push you" said a voice I her head
Miaka stared open mouthed at the phoenix
"I'm going crazy" she mumbled shaking her head
"No you're not"
"Yes I am"
"You don't have any proof" the bird pointed out
"Yes I do I'm hallucinating, but if I pinch my arm you will vanish"
"Go ahead"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"You said so"
Miaka lifted her arm up I can't believe I've stooped so low to talking to my imagination She thought as she gave her am a hard pinch
"Owww!"
"I'm still here"
Miaka looked up; indeed the bird was still there
"Okay I give in, I might as well go along with this, so why are you here?"
The next morning...
Beep Beep Beep
Miaka frowned as she rolled over
Beep Beep Beep
"Just five more minutes" she groaned
Bip Bip Bip Bip
"Alright, alright I'm up already, yeesh!"
Miaka rolled out of bed and rubbed her eyes.
"Miaka, breakfasts ready!" called Keisuke from the kitchen.
"Gimme ten minutes" she called back as she almost tripped over Menchi and headed for the bathroom, Miaka looked at her reflection in the mirror through bleary eyes as she brushed her teeth when she noticed she was wearing two red water-crystal earrings
"Ahhh!!! Keisuke!!!"
Miaka sprinted down the hall and burst into the kitchen
"Keisuke!!!! Is this your idea of a sick joke?!!!"
"Miaka what in the world are you talking about?"
"These! I'm talking about these!" she yelled pointing at her ears.
Keisuke walked forward and inspected one of them.
"Miaka, where were you last night?"
"Sleeping of course, where else would I be?" sobbed Miaka
Keisuke hugged Miaka close to him
"Shhhh, don't worry I'll help you take them out, somehow" he murmured knowing Miaka was very upset and disturbed at the moment.
After awhile Miaka's sobs ceased and then stopped.
Miaka shifted her head to look up at her brother "Keisuke, you know how you used to have an earring?"
"Yeah" said Keisuke with a sheepish grin
"Can you help me take them off? Because I've never worn an earring before and I don't know how to take off these heavy things"
"Yeah sure, let me see the back of you're earring first".
Miaka bent her head down as Keisuke took a look at the earring.
Keisuke smiled, it was one of those earrings that slide on and off not one of those cursed clippy ones.
He reached and gently pulled on the stud thingymabob (sorry I don't know the name for it) that was holding the earring in place...it didn't move. Keisuke froze, he tried again harder this time but the cursed thing didn't budge a bit.
"What the-"he muttered as he tried tugging harder at the small piece of metal.
"Keisuke, what's going on?" said Miaka as her brother pulled harder.
"Damnit Miaka, the earring won't come off!" he said through gritted teeth.
Miaka felt a bolt of pain shoot through her as Keisuke tugged harder and harder.
"Owww!!! Keisuke that's enough you're hurting me!!!" cried Miaka as tears welled in her eyes
Keisuke instantly stopped at the sound of her voice.
"I'm sorry Miaka I got a bit carried away, are you hurt?" he asked he's eyes filled with concern.
"No, I'm fine if you can't take it out I guess I'll have to leave it in, huh?" said Miaka with a small smile
"Miaka I'm sorry, but the little bugger wouldn't move, it's like someone put superglue there or something"
"It doesn't matter, besides I've got to get to school in half an hour"
"Wanna a lift?"
"Sure! Just give me some time to put on my school uniform"
"Take as long as you want" he replied as he watched her dash off to her bedroom.
Miaka closed her bedroom door and walked to her wardrobe, yanking it open she took out her uniform and slid off her silken pooh-bear night gown I just love those American cartoons! They're sooo cute She thought as she pulled on a pair of white socks and buttoned up her plain white collared shirt and slipped on her extremely short brown skirt that went down a bit past half-way down her thigh, she slipped on her brown vest and pulled on her brown jacket.
Miaka walked over to her mirror and took one of the hair ties hanging from it, quickly tying her hair into a high ponytail leaving two thin locks to frame her small face; she grabbed her sword and headed back to the kitchen where Keisuke was waiting for her with her bag in one of his hands.
"Hey Keisuke, can I borrow your tennis racket case?"
"Why???"
"Ask no questions and I'll tell no lies"
"Fine"
"Ready to go Miaka? I made your lunch so you didn't have to fix one yourself"
"Thanks Keisuke lets go" she said as she grabbed her bag and the case.
Miaka quickly sipped on her black shoes and headed out the door, her ponytail swishing behind her.
At school...
"Thanks for the ride Keisuke!" called Miaka as her brother drove away.
Feeling in a good mood, Miaka walked off in search of Yui.
A few minutes later, she found herself walking down the hall to her locker and spotted Yui's head hidden behind her locker door.
Miaka walked over and slapped Yui on her back
"Good morning Yui!" said Miaka cheerfully
"Good morning Miaka" said Yui gloomily as she rubbed her back where Miaka had slapped it earlier.
"Why so gloomy?" asked Miaka as she placed her key inside the lock.
"Look at this" said Yui
Miaka poked her head around the locker door and gasped.
The bottom of Yui's locker was littered with love letters with soppy words on the front like
To my dearest Yui or To Yui, the love of my life
"Oh my god..." was all Miaka said before she burst into a fit of giggles
"Hehehe hahaha to my dearest Yui??? how soppy is that? Hehehe"
"Don't start laughing yet, I bet your lockers littered with these love letters too" said Yui angrily.
"Nah, as if any boy would have a crush on me" said Miaka confidently as she turned her key and took it out.
Grabbing the locker door handle she pulled it open.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Miaka was knocked flat onto the floor as a cascade of love letters poured down upon her.
"Miaka, Miaka! Are you okay?" shouted Yui frantically as she dug through the love letters
"Yeah, I'm fine" came a muffled voice from somewhere deep under the pile
"Hang on Miaka; I'll get you out in a minute!"
Yui suddenly felt her hand brush Miaka's head as Miaka suddenly popped up next to her
"Whew that was close!!! I coulda died from suffocation!"
Miaka turned around to look at Yui, feeling the smile slide off her face like a raw egg off a wall
Yui had an evil smile and a dark glint in her eye as she looked at Miaka
"And who said that not a single boy would have a crush on who???"
Miaka rolled her eyes.
"I know, I know, geez you're always right about everything Yui"
"That's cause I'm a genius!!! Hohoho"
Miaka glanced at the clock
"Oh my god Yui! We should have been in class 5 minutes ago!
"Ahhhh!!! You're right Miaka!!!"
Later that day...
Miaka yawned and covered her mouth as tears formed in her eyes.
"Ugh, how boring was that"
"Tell me about it" replied Yui who was sitting next to her.
They were waiting at the bus stop for the next bus since they missed it because of their afternoon detention.
"Man, that substitute chemist teacher's really mean"
"Yeah, and she looks like an old hag"
The two of them sat on the bench in silence.
"So Yui, am I allowed to go over to your place?"
"Yeah, my parents left yesterday on a business trip to Europe so I'm all alone"
"Isn't it boring living by yourself?"
"Yeah, it is sometimes but most of the time I pre-occupy myself with books and stuff"
"Boring" said Miaka as a bus pulled up beside them
"We're going to the city library right?"
"Yeah"
20 minutes later at the city library...
"Wow...so this is the city library???" asked Miaka as they hopped off the bus, her eyes as wide as saucers
"What?!? Haven't you been to the city library before?!?" asked Yui incredulously
That's when she noticed Miaka was holding a tennis racket case.
"Wow Miaka, I never knew you played tennis"
"I don't, it's just that I needed it to hide my sword from the teachers"
"Oh... What?!? You never told me that!!! When did you get it???"
"Yesterday, my sensei gave it to me after we had a duel and I won, he chose me as his successor since he didn't have any children"
"Ohh, so that's why..."
Yui fell silent, aware that Miaka was listening intently
"What Yui? What?"
"You know how I tricked you and said you were late?"
"Yes, and I still haven't thought of anything to get back at you yet"
"Well all that was your sensei's idea"
"WHAT!!!!"
"He called me the night before and told me it was very urgent"
"Why would he do that?"
"I dunno"
The both of them fell silent for a moment
"Anyway, Miaka can I see your sword?"
"Sure, go ahead"
Miaka took the sword out of the case and handed it to Yui, Yui's eyes widened.
"This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!!!"
"I said that to my sensei as well, he said it was a family heirloom"
"A family heirloom?!?" squeaked Yui
"Uh huh"
"Oh my god"
"Uh huh"
"You wanna go in now?" said Miaka as she slipped the sword back into the case
"Yeah, let's go"
In the city library...
"Wow it's huge!" exclaimed Miaka as she looked around
"Keep your voice down" hissed Yui
Miaka spotted a drinks machine in the corner
"Cool!!! Yui I'm gonna buy one, wanna come?"
"Okay"
The two of them walked over, unaware that they were being watched.
As Miaka placed a coin in a small red feather floated down gently and landed on the tip of her nose.
Miaka looked up sharply and saw a red bird standing in the shadows in a corner.
Suddenly memories of their encounter rushed into her head.
Flashback
"Okay I give in, I might as well go along with this, so why are you here?"
"To uh... give you a birthday present... yeah! To give you a birthday present!"
Miaka looked at it suspiciously
"My birthday isn't for another 5 months" she said flatly
"Well consider it an early birthday present"
"okay" said Miaka shrugging, who cares? Its just a dream.
"Close your eyes"
Miaka's eyes slid closed
"It might feel a bit painful but it'll wear off"
Miaka felt a sting in her earlobe as something heavy appeared out of nowhere and attached themselves to her ears.
"Oooh!!! Earrings never had one before"
"They will protect you when the time comes, my little Miko..."
"Huh? Miko? What are you talking about? And who's they?" asked Miaka as the bird slowly began to fade
"Hey...don't go I haven't said thank you yet"
"You will...soon"
End of Flashback
"Follow me..."
"Hey, Miaka where do you think you're going?" Asked Yui as Miaka followed the big bird to the restricted room
"Stop Miaka! We're not allowed in there! Besides the doors locked!"
Click!
The restricted door slid open
"Oh I give up! I might as well come along just to make sure you don't hurt yourself!" grumbled Yui
As they entered the room the red bird suddenly disappeared
"Hey! Where'd you go?!?" cried Miaka
Thump
A thick blue book fell out of its shelf and landed right in front of the two girls
Miaka and Yui both stared
The Universe Of The Four Gods...
Well how was it??? Was it okay??? *twiddles thumb nervously*
Plez R&R!!!
P.S I know most of you would scoff at the idea of being able to fit a samurai sword into a tennis case but just please use your imagination...
P.S.S Please ignore my grammar...it sucks...as well as my spelling
