PART 20

Disclaimer: We don't own Fushigi Yuugi but we don't care we're just borrowing the characters, in one way or another, that is. We also don't own the SD boys and it sure bothers us a lot...wish we owned Mitsui, Sendoh, Kiyota...but what the hell. Takehiko Inoue does, however.

Note: Uh for those who are confused cos this fic is really confusing, the characters refer to Kiyota as a lady cos we think he's too cute to be a guy, he has long hair and a very cute face. As for Rukawa, he was wearing a pair of really short shorts when he fell into the mystic world and his legs were really hot and he has a very fair complexion...er, sorry that's the best we can come up with. Thanks for the reviews we appreciate them! :-)

----------------------------

"Get off my tail" Kiyota warned Taskuragi.

"Me? no way, this is once in a lifetime you know, you're even cuter than Miyakaede, you're a doll, i'm handing her down to Hotosashi, just for you." Taskuragi grinned maliciously at Kiyota, his left eyebrow bouncing.

"Disgusting" Kiyota said flatly but indignantly "But you can be of use to me...go get me some softdrink and fries, bacon-mushroom melt and ketchup, I want oatmeal cookies and Hershey bar for dessert, get it? I'll wait here, if you come back with everything I ordered, I'll uh," he paused, "I'll show you to my room." he finished with is-that-ok-with-you-look.

Taskuragi couldn't think straight, being the pervert that he was, he didn't even realize that he never heard of the things Kiyota asked him to get. He went straight to the table and in seconds Kiyota was nowhere to be found.

Makigo spotted Kiyota and motioned for him right away. Kiyota smirked and made his way proudly to the Makigo.

"May I introduce to you, the very lovely Lady Kiyuita" Makigo announced, Kiyota bowed earnestly concealing his evil grin as he bowed lower chuckling his head off. Makigo introduced everyone from Shohozaku and Shoyokkaido.

I don't believe this, he thought as his eyes fell on the Lady Nurikenji, He's cross dressing too and he's prettier than me, that stupid Moroboshi told me i was the prettiest! Before more jealous thoughts overrun his head he caught sight of the very handsome emperor, so before he could restrain himself he blurted out,

"You should have been Tamahome you know, instead of that big mouth Sendoh." He told Hotosashi

"Pardon me, my lady?"

"Nothing...shit" With this Kiyota left the group without feeling slightly embarassed.

He went to the washroom dodging his way from Taskuragi's sight. He locked himself in and opened the book he retrieved earlier from the library, it was hidden in his robe all the while. And started muttering to himself,

"Now let's see...it says here all i have to do is turn the book to page 300 and stand under the moonlight and at the sight of 300 witnesses, how scandalous, hold hands with the other shrine maiden and then...wait a minute, I have to hold hands with Rukawa my meekest rival? This has to be a typographical error...whatever I'll work it out...and then i have to chant the words Ulyaoth, Mantarbok, Pargon, Redgomor, Pargon, Pargon, Pargon...and poof! I'm back to present day Kanagawa, with my mom and school and stuff. But this is so hard to memorize and it says here i have to pronounce the incantations correctly. whatever."

He took off his robes and underneath he was wearing his original clothes: basketball shorts and T-shirt.

He went out of the cubicle and the first person he saw was Kaede Rukawa who just stared at him indifferently.

Kiyota summoned all the courage he had and pulled Rukawa by the sleeve and dragged him all the way to the middle of the garden exactly under the moonlight. Rukawa was confused but he was too sleepy to react and he was finding it hard to move because of his garments. Heads turned as Kiyota and Rukawa made their way clumsily.
"People of Koainan, Shohozaku and the other kingdoms, behold the departure of the great Kiyota Nobunaga number one player of Kanagawa and number one rookie in Japan! HAHAHA!" Kiyota cried triumphantly and hysterically which resulted to confusion among the crowd.

"Do'ahou" Rukawa muttered under his breath, to which the arrogant rookie replied,

"And also, don't forget Rukawa the most boring cross-dressing-" Kiyota didn't finish for,

"My Lady what is this all about?" Makigo said, his jaw tightly closed.

"This means goodbye, Maki-sempai...I can't live to see how this story ends, it's absurd and ridiculous and above all; spell this...BORING!"

"My lady calm down-"

"Oh, shut up Jin-sempai, your voice alone sends infinite irrational disgust through me" This stunned everyone, Kiyota continued, "so, as I was saying, goodbye" he paused,

"And before we go, I'll tell you a little secret, we're men, not ladies!"

No one understood what this meant, no one tried or ordered anyone to stop the brat who held Rukawa's hand who didn't react. And uttered the words, Ulyaoth, Mantarbok, Pargon, Redgomor, Pargon, Pargon, Pargon impeccably and loudly. Nobody knew he managed to do it correctly but what the hell.

Red and orange mists started to rise from Rukawa and Kiyota's feet, some thought it was a magic trick that they even cheered.

Hotosashi reached for Rukawa but even as the latter's image was before him, his arms touched nothing tangible, not even the mist that was surrounding the two. Rukawa was thinking of responding to Hotosashi's plea but...Slowly they faded from everyone's sight, Rukawa watched Hotosashi in horror as his surroundings turned to something he could not comprehend, as his beloved slipped away.

Makigo oredered his men to stop the two boys but it was too late. Even if there was time, Miyaboshi and Moroboshi would've stayed rooted to their spot, for they knew what has befallen.

Tamakira couldn't believe his eyes, he didn't want to believe that Miyakaede had gone without any parting words. But she was gone, gone for ever. Tears started to stream down his smooth and fair face, he sobbed soundlessly, but there was no one there to comfort him. Love had come and gone too soon.

Taskuragi dropped all the food he had grabbed for Kiyota, sadness has overtaken him and no ardent words violated the air.

And in seconds they were gone, the lovely ladies who fell from the sky as legends say.
