Disclaimer: I don't own Fushigi Yuugi...not now, not ever; one disclaimer works for all possible chapters, alright?
"What the hell is that?" Tasuki asked, pointing at the bright beam of light in the sky. It was nighttime and the light stood out.
"I have no idea" Hotohori admitted, "Maybe Chiriko knows"
"Chiriko?" Nuriko asked, turning around to face the younger warrior.
"I actually have no idea" "Chiriko" said.
"Maybe one of the Seiryu warriors are just having absolutely no control of their powers?"
"The light...is purple"
"Oh...I see..."
"Well, I don't think it really affects us that much" Hotohori said, "So let's just get some rest; the summoning ceremony is tomorrow"
"Yes, your majesty" the warriors said and departed for their rooms.
"Nakago?" Yui asked. The blonde man had suddenly stopped talking. Nakago turned around.
"Yes, Lady Yui?"
"Is something wrong?"
"Not at all..." Nakago said, a smile appearing on his lips, "Not at all...in fact...everything is going perfectly...more than perfect"
Sakuya walked down the streets of the busy town.
"I wonder where I am..." she wondered to herself.
"Not lost, are you, little lady?" a man with his sleek dark brown hair tied back asked. Sakuya bit her lip. The guy was obviously someone she did NOT want to talk to.
"No, I'm fine" she said, trying to get by.
"No, I really think you're lost" the man said, "Well, at least you will be" he laughed, grabbing her uniform by the neck and throwing her into the alley. His hand inched up her skirt and she slapped it.
"Well, that won't do at all" the man said.
Sakuya glared at him from her position on the ground. He knelt down and slammed the palm of his hand onto the wall above her head, basically trapping her between the junk of the alley.
"Don't think you've won yet" she said, "I'm not going go give up that easily.
"You celestial idiots!" an old woman yelled, her face causing everyone who saw it to scream.
"It's just Taiitsu-kun, no da" Chichiri said.
"It's horrible!" Tamahome whimpered.
"You have messed up so I wouldn't be saying who's horrible if I were you" Taiitsu-kun said, "You have failed to gather all the warriors"
"I know; and I'm furious at myself for letting it happen!" Miaka shouted, tears springing to her eyes, "Now we can't summon Suzaku"
"Hold on; I never said that there wasn't another way to summon Suzaku, did I?" Taiitsu-kun asked.
"Why didn't you say so before, you old hag?!" Tamahome yelled.
"Who're you calling a hag?" Taiitsu-kun asked.
"You must first go to Hokkan to get the Shinzaho there"
"Shinzaho?" Miaka asked, "Alright! I'll go pack!"
"I'm not finished!" Taiitsu-kun yelled. Miaka stopped. Taiitsu-kun snapped her fingers and everyone warrior except Tamahome got a gift from Taiitsu- kun.
"No fair!" Tamahome whined.
"The road to summoning Suzaku will be harsh..." Taiitsu-kun said, "Before you leave, go look around Konan for a while; I believe help is available"
"What?"
"Alright...along with the warriors of a god, there are also two others that can make your journey much easier. First of all, there is the Oracle of Suzaku. The Oracle of Suzaku is not easy to find; first you have to find a person that they are connected with, then you have the slightest chance of finding them. Note that that person has powers; that is why in the legends, they are called the Warrior of the Oracle. Gods have blessed them also, and the warrior can be either gender"
They were all silent as they thought about what she said, "BUT! We have no idea if they are from this world or not...so..."
"That helps us a whole lot" Tasuki muttered sarcastically.
"Now, I need to talk to Miaka" Taiitsu-kun said, shooting the fiery-haired bandit a glare.
Next day
"So basically, we just travel around Konan, to look for a random person that knows the Oracle of Suzaku, somehow?"
"Yeah" Chichiri said.
"And how do we know they're even in Konan"
"Well, Taiitsu-kun said so, and she has that giant mirror of hers..."
"So where do we start looking?"
"I think the best idea is to split up in groups for now and go to different areas of Konan" Chiriko said.
"I'm fine with that, no da" Chichiri agreed, "So what are the groups?"
"Um...we can either have two groups of two and one group of three...or one group of four and one of three since Hotohori's not coming"
"Well, obviously Miaka's gonna want to go with Tamahome" Nuriko said, "That's two...but I think they should be part of the bigger group in case the enemy comes and attacks"
"Agreed" Hotohori said, "So who's going with them?"
"I will, your highness" Nuriko said, "They'll need some brute strength"
"Ok, then what are the other groups?"
"I'm heading for Mt. Reikaku and that area" Tasuki informed, "So if you can't take the journey up there, then don't be in my group"
"I'll go with Tasuki" Chichiri volunteered, "But...neither of you have offensive powers...if something should happen..." he said to the remaining too, "So you can't go by yourselves"
"I'll go with the priestess's group" Mitsukake said, "Healing powers"
"And I'll help you guys" Chiriko smiled at Tasuki and Chichiri.
"So off we go!"
Nakago smirked as he and Suboshi rode through the forests of Konan. They were searching for them. Those fools were starting their search, as if they could improve their chances to beat him...
"Aw, when are we gonna get there? I'm hungry!" Miaka asked.
"Soon"
"Why are we going to Suzaku village anyways?"
"There's a chance she might be there"
"If you say so"
She yawned, then blinked, "What was that?"
"What was what?"
"I thought I saw...something" she said, a nervous tone in her voice.
"Where?"
"In the trees"
Nuriko swiped at a couple of trees and there was a child standing there.
"What are you doing here little girl?" Nuriko asked, sending Miaka a look that said 'This is what you were talking about?'
The girl began to cry, "I don't know where my village is!"
"What's the name of your village?"
"It's near Suzaku village!" she said, still sobbing. The girl was about ten or so, with chestnut brown hair tied into two braided loops by the side of her head. Her eyes were a rare violet color that Miaka had never seen before.
"Well, we're heading there, so why don't we take you there?" Tamahome asked.
"Yay! Thank you mister!"
Miaka sighed, "Maybe the villagers there know something about the warrior?"
"Who knows?"
"Warrior?"
"Yeah kid; did you see anyone dressed strangely around your town that was emitting the light of Suzaku or something?"
The girl thought for a while, "Well, I did see a light...it covered the entire village and everybody was screaming and then they stopped. Everything was still but I could still walk for some reason. Then the light disappeared. But the light was purple"
"Purple?" Miaka asked.
"Well...Taiitsu-kun never said that the oracle didn't have a different light than the rest of us..." Mitsukake said reasonably.
"It's possible..." Miaka said, "Onward, to somewhere near Suzaku village!"
"How much further?" Chiriko asked, "My feet are getting tired"
"Not too much longer, kid" Tasuki said.
Suddenly, about twenty men surrounded them.
"Who dares come into our territory?" one of them asked. He had blue hair and was dressed very uniquely.
"Koji!" Tasuki yelled.
"Genroh? Back so soon?"
"Yeah, but I'm kinda doing my job" he said and started to explain.
"I see...I think I can help you there"
End of chapter! Review, even if you think it sucks!
