Chapter 4 ~*~The Real Story Begins...~*~

Disclaimer: I do not own Fushigi Yuugi but if I ask nicely do you think Watase Yu would make me her successor and next in line to all her work and
stuff?

I have decided not to quit because I've just got a whole flood of ideas.

And I've decided to try and type around 150 chapters (well that's my goal anyway...)

Oh and I'm an Azn girl.

A note to Hotohikari-i-can't-remember-the-rest-of-your-name:

I originally planned to sorta follow along the story of Yu Watase, but even though there are similar events there will be very different consequences, I will also add quite a lot of my own events every now and then but this story will be completely different (the word*liar* appears on forehead) consider it an alternate adventure of Fushigi Yuugi ^_^

Right now I'm guessing most of you would be giving me this 0_o expression

T-T I guess I'm a really bad writer T-T

I feel so down... (Runs into a corner and hangs head in shame)T-T I don't deserve your praises *sniffle*

(I think I got into a habit of kicking myself every chapter)

Miaka looked around in wonder at the buildings lining the street.

People bustled and pushed as sellers yelled at the top of their voice shoving things under people's noses from their stalls while pick pockets roved the streets looking for an opportunity to make some quick money.

Miaka was able to walk freely since people gave her a wide berth, whispering and murmuring as they stared at her

She caught snatches of conversations as she walked deeper into the city.

"Such strange clothes..."

"Very pretty..."

"Shouldn't be walking by herself..."

"Probably escaped from slave traders judging by her scratches..."

"Wow a babe..."

"Yui are you still there?" mumbled Miaka as she walked faster, wanting to get away from the growing crowd

'Yeah...'

"What are you doing?"

'Reading'

"What does it say?"

'The Chosen One walked faster, feeling nervousness settle in the pit in her stomach as she- Grrr rrrr what was that?'

"Uhhh..."

'Miaka?'

"My stomach"

'What?!?'

"I haven't eaten since lunch time"

'Oh...'

Miaka felt her stomach tighten when some unwise guy decided to pinch her bum

Miaka whirled around and did a quick high kick aiming her foot at the man's chin; another one of the pressure points and jumped backwards to avoid being squashed as the man fell forward.

The crowd ooohed and rushed forward as everyone tried to catch a glimpse of Miaka

Miaka walked backwards and felt her back bump gently on the wall behind her as the crowd advanced upon her like a pack of hungry wolves

"Uhhhh... Yui..."

'Miaka look behind you, there should be a back alleyway'

"Thanks"

Miaka swiveled around and ran down the alleyway only to find a dead end

"YUI!!!"

'Oops'

"What am I supposed to do now?" wailed Miaka as the crowd came nearer

'...'

"Yui?"

'Miaka do you remember that Chinese movie we watched when we were 9?'

"Yeah"

'And do you remember how the main character jumped from wall to wall to get up onto the roof?'

"Oh no..."

'Miaka you can do it, judging by the width of the alley way and the height of the walls it should be easy for you'

"How'd you know?"

'The pictures showed me'

"But..."

'Miaka do you want to be mobbed and touched by a whole crowd of people?'

"Good point there"

'Right, now in the picture there's a big stone block on your left, jump on it and you know what to do after that'

"Okay..." Miaka took a deep breath

'Miaka, hurry! Look behind you!'

Miaka took a quick glance behind her and was startled to see the crowd naught but 2 meters away from her

"It's now or never"

Miaka did a quick leap onto the stone and felt herself shoot toward the wall opposite her Thump she hit the wall, as soon as she touched it she shot off again bouncing like a ball as she shot from wall to wall

'You know Miaka, you remind me of Tarzan on how he kept on bashing into trees' commented Yui as she read the words appearing on the pages

Miaka didn't reply, instead she was too busy concentrating on landing properly on to the roof.

'Cummon Miaka you can do this!' thought Miaka furiously as she pushed herself off the wall for the last time.

Miaka soared high, just high enough to grasp the edge of the roof; she quickly flipped onto the top of the roof just as the side where she had hung onto seconds ago crumbled and fell onto the heads of the shocked crowd

Miaka did a quick wild dance on the spot

"Whoohoo! I did it!!!"

'That was great Miaka!'

"Thanks"

Grrr rrrr

"Urrr...So hungry..."

'Now we need to fix your hunger' said Yui as Miaka sat down

"Problem is I've got no money"

'Which means you're gonna need to earn it yourself'

"But I don't have any real qualities"

'Hmmm... your right...'

Miaka sat in silence when she over heard a conversation between two men that were walking past

"Hey are you going to the tournament?"

"Why?"

"I heard that Tamahome's going"

"Really?"

"Yeah, and this year the prize money is 500 gold ryo!"

"That's twice the amount they usually have!"

"Uh huh, that's why Tamahome's entering"

"I'm going then, he's a natural for the Martial arts"

"No one can beat him..."

Miaka stared at the men's back, her thoughts in a race

"Hey Yui, you read all of that right?"

'Yup, you entering?'

"You betcha"

'Okay, but be careful'

"No biggie"

'You're right, with your level you should be able to beat your opponents without so much as breaking a nail'

"mm hmm I'm going to follow them to see where the tournament is held"

'But be careful of this Tamahome he sounds dangerous'

"Nah, I'll be fine"

Little did Miaka know she was going to be far from fine...
