Kissed by the Enemy

Konnichiwa, Minna-san! Are you all ready for another chapter!?

Houjun Ri: Yeah, I had this weird dream, and it had nothing to do with FY, when suddenly, when I wake up, I'm thinking "I wanna make a pairing that is so rare, people will enjoy it!" or something like that, I don't remember because I was half asleep then. ::cough::

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Fushigi Yugi. Sue me, and DIE. ::insert evil laugh here::

Chapter II

The Suzaku group reached Hokkan, Genbu's country. There, they split up to search for the Shinzaho. Chiriko gave each small group an emergency flare, if they found out some information about it. The groups were Tamahome, Miaka, and Nuriko; Tasuki and Mitsukake; and Chichiri and Chiriko.

Tasuki yawned. It's been a several hours, and now he and 'boring ol' Mitsukake have decided to go to an inn to spend the night in. they didn't find out ANYTHING about the Shinzaho.

Tasuki sat in the room at the inn. He looked up at the ceiling, a bottle of sake in hand. Mitsukake walked in with Tama Neko. The bandit didn't notice they came in, because he was closing his eyes in thought. He remembered the Seiryu Warrior Soi, and why he just couldn't get her out of his mind.

"You've been quiet." Mitsukake spoke, making the hot tempered bandit to jump (I really hate it when that happens).

"Yeah? So what about it?" Tasuki asked, taking a swig of sake.

"It means something is stuck on you're mind, and you are actually thinking for once. You're not jumping at helpless old men for information." Mitsukake took a drink of herbal tea.

"Y'know how much I wanna kick yer ass right now?" the bandit asked in annoyance. Ignoring the comment, and knowing that wasn't true, Mitsukake pet Tama Neko.

"Listen, once you get whatever it is off your mind, you'll fell a lot better. So, tell me." The healer looked at Tasuki with a serious look.

"I got nothin'! See? I'm fine!" he yelled.

"Not mentally." Mitsukake said. The fiery haired bandit snorted, and took another swig.

"Y'know me to well." He sighed. "but I ain't tellin' you nothin'!"

"Have it your way," Mitsukake shrugged, and fed Tama Neko some fish. "have whatever is stuck in your mind haunt you." Tasuki knew this trick. The healer was trying to get info out of him. Like it would work. Hah!

They felt something. The next day, Tasuki and Mitsukake set out to find info about the Shinzaho. But during the search, they felt something. Something inside made them want to burst out and cry. They saw smoke go up from the mountain up ahead, and they felt the presence of three there.

"It's gotta be Miaka, Tama-Boy, and Nuriko! They're in trouble!" Tasuki said.

Mitsukake and Tasuki ran into Chichiri and Chiriko.

"One of us is in trouble, no da!" the monk yelled.

Reaching the top of the mountain, the group gasped at the sight. Tamahome had started the smoke signal, and Miaka was crying over a bloody Nuriko's chest.

"Wh-what in the hell happened. . .?" Tasuki asked. Tamahome walked up to him, and whispered in his ear.

"Nuriko faced one of the Seiryu Warriors, and got injured. . . and just now he. . ." the seishi couldn't continue. The bandit couldn't take it.

"Y. . .Y' stupid. . . y'call yerself a MAN!? I thought you. . . I thought y'were stronger than that!!" he cried, ready to pounce on Nuriko'a dead body. Tamahome held him back. "w. . .wait a minute. . . Mits. . .you can. . .you can heal him, right!?" No answer. "Mits. . .you can heal him, RIGHT!?" the healer looked away. "no. . .j. .. jus' yesterday. .he was smilin'. . . jus' yester. . .he was alive fer Suzaku's sake! Like he was. .Like he was goin' t' live for at least the next seventy years! Damn the Seiryu. . . DAMN THEM!!" Tasuki cried. Who cared about Soi. She was the enemy. She was with the guy who did this to Nuriko! Everyone was in tears. Miaka got up, saying that Nuriko wasn't dead. She ran away, and Tamahome chased after her.

The Shinzaho was stolen by a wolf. After all that they have been through. The Suzaku group had said their good-bye's to Nuriko, and went into the cave to claim their prize. There were two ghosts guarding the Shinzaho, both Genbu warriors, Hikitsu and Tomite. Miaka had proved that she was the Priestess of Suzaku, and they achieved the necklace that was worn by the Priestess of Genbu, during the ceremony to summon the beast god.

Then the wolf, who has turned out to be Ashitare, stole the Shinzaho from Miaka's hands, and ran away with it. The priestess had chased after him.

Now, Tasuki, Mitsukake, Chiriko, and Chichiri were in a desert. They had to get the second Shinzaho, in Sairo, land of Byakko. Of course, they had to travel by night on horseback.

Sadly. . . Tasuki's horse. . . just didn't quite agree with him, for. .the bandit just swiped one little carrot. Now, the horse was beating him up about it.

Suddenly, lightning striked out of no where, separating Tasuki from the rest of the group. . .and his stubborn horse.

"Tasuki!" Chiriko yelled. Chichiri jumped off his horse to run to the bandit, but was blocked by an invisible force.

"I sense the presence of a Seiryu Warrior, no da!" the monk yelled.

Tasuki rubbed his eyes, to find that he was surrounded by pitch black darkness. He could hear the yells of his friends, but couldn't find them anywhere.

"Good to see you again, Suzaku Warrior," A familiar female voice announced. Tasuki quickly looked around, and saw Soi.

"Wh-what do you want!?" the bandit demanded. The woman leaned down.

"What do I want? Don't you mean. . . what do you want?" she asked, with a look on her face one of the reasons why Tasuki hated women.

"Don't be thinkinng about that right now!!" the fiery tempered boy yelled, trying to keep his nose from bleeding. Soi stood back up.

"I can't believe you kept the secret this far," she said.

Chichiri, Mitsukake, and Chiriko could hear talking inside the, now dome shaped shield colored pitch black.

"Tasuki's talking to someone. . ." Chiriko said.

"What do you mean by that!?" Tasuki demanded.

"I thought you would tell on me just to get rid of me. But you didn't. I wonder why. . ." Soi grinned, while getting an uneasy look from the bandit. He backed away. ". . .of course, I love Nakago-Sama FAR more than you, but you're just fun to play with. . ." Tasuki gulped, once he backed into the shield. He couldn't see his friends anywhere, and neither could his friends see him. . .

Oowah! C'mon! You want more chapters, don't ya!? Please, R & R, and you'll get what happens next!
