Crossover Anime: Fushigi YuugiHi everybody! Sorry it took so long ! It's the author here and well here is my fourth chapter. My fifth should be updated quickly after this one. This is another long chapter with 2000 words plus ; sorry.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Usagi, who was wide-eyed and tearful, dragged herself to Rei's shrine the guilt still overwhelming her. Minako was gone, and to where she was not so sure. An hour or so had gone by and the inner senshi where still looking for their leader. Makoto at one time suggested contacting the outers however Usagi forbade them to do that so soon. Luna sided with her and was also sad to realise that Artemis was missing as well.
"Is there another get together so soon?" asked Grandpa Hino who was sweeping the steps of the shrine. His eyes brightened when he saw she was alone however did not plan on doing anything.
Usagi managed to nod and walked into the shrine without saying a word. Grandpa Hino looked at the path the girl took. His granddaughter had quite a variety of friends; quiet, smart, sporty, funny…the list could go on. He could not deny though, that they were all pretty talented in their own special way. However the old man couldn't help but notice, that one of them was missing.
She was the petite blonde one who often brought her white cat with her anytime the five girls decided to have a study session in the shrine. The girl hadn't appeared for weeks causing him to think they must have fallen out somehow. That was until two nights ago when he heard Rei crying in her room on the telephone with one of the other girls. She kept repeating the phrase "Minako's gone" throughout her sentences. It got even more curious when the blonde appeared that afternoon in her school uniform. He was just passing by when he saw her so there wasn't a lot he could assess in the situation. 5 minutes later when he was going to call in Rei she was gone.
The old man was soon very tired of cleaning and decided to go inside to have a cup of tea. Rei had returned home very upset. She must have had an argument with the blonde girl or something else. However girls were complicated. It would take him a good long while to figure what was bothering his granddaughter.
Inside the shrine unknown to Grandpa Hino inner senshi mourned the loss of Minako. They hadn't found a trace of her and the jewellery box was held by the silent miko. They had not planned their next move but thought endlessly about Minako.
Where was she?
Tasuki found himself for once in a long time taking care of a wounded individual and in this case a small white cat. It was very unusual, most of the other bandits thought he was a nut caring for the "fur ball" while others thought it would be good if Tasuki would get out more and find a woman…they all received a swift punch for that one.
"So how ya doing today?" he asked one morning peering at the silent cat with jovial eyes. He knew very well the cat was not a priceless jewel or even something most would care for but it seemed there was something about him (as Kouji cleverly pointed out) that made it really hard to let go of….
….The crescent moon
It was unusual seeing that the thing was not plastered on his forehead, however there it was very much shinning and being "crescent" It had worried Tasuki that one of the not-so-bright bandits may try to skin the poor cats' head of for the golden symbol. So Tasuki managed to bandage over the bald spot and nothing came of it.
He held the cat close before walking outside his room. After that it was not a pretty site. Drunken prostitutes and drunker bandits where sleeping in heaps across the pathway. Tasuki swore under his breath.
" No more parties." He said to himself "No fuckin way I'm ever having a party again."
And with that Tasuki managed to creep out, with the confused Artemis in his hands who was still very concerned about Minako. He did not know where he was however he remained grateful to the young man.
Waking up for school was one thing. Waking up in another world with no friends any family or electricity was a whole different experience all together.
Minako's cerulean eyes struggled to get open, her eyelashes fluttering each time they tried. Around a minute or so however they where open, observing not the friendly faces of Hin-Lun or Taichin but a ceiling.
Lined with gold.
Minako blinked and her eyes opened widely. That didn't make any sense…
Sitting up was the hardest and most painful thing Minako did that morning. Her back ached and her shoulders seemed to be stiffened by an unknown source. However she had not a lot of time to curse about her backache for what she saw next astounded her more than anything.
The room she was currently harbouring in was probably the most beautiful room she had ever seen in her life. It was very big with a giant door encrypted with Chinese words on her right side. The walls were coloured in submarine blue while rimmed with imprints of silver. Oriental styled dragons where printed in what seemed to be a huge wardrobe at the corner of her room while a bath layed hidden at a corner accessorized with towels and silk robes.
Taking in her breathe Minako realised she wasn't in the small village of Quinn anymore.
"Are you okay Miss?" Asked a wistful voice
If Minako had ever wanted to do a Usagi she would have done it then. Startled at the new presence in her room she turned slowly to her side. A boy (probably around her age or slightly older) sat looking at her with probing eyes. Dirty blonde hair sat on his head while startling blue eyes stared back at her.
At that moment Minako's heart nearly stopped.
Amiboshi probably should have been politer. He swore he had been but the look the girl had given him made him doubt it completely. Nakago came back two days before slewing the girl from his back and carrying her hand held into the palace. No doubt the emperor was surprised at his announcement he had found the "true" priestess of Seiryuu however the limp girls' "attire" proved she was not from Qu-Long. Amiboshi was that directed by Nakago to watch her as Nakago had been directed by the emperor to support troops in the northern villages that wanted to prevent a civil war.
He wasn't sure why Nakago choose him. Soi was one (even thought Nakago never said so) he had trusted most out of the Seiryuu seishi and besides…what was he to say when she had awakened? He had heard she was in quite a struggle when Nakago had approached her. A frown had curved on his lips, as he wasn't sure if Nakago had caused any unnecessary bloodshed just to get the supposed "priestess". What to say to her…. she was not Yui his former priestess. He supposed he respected Yui in some way however looking back the bounds of the Seiryuu seishi was tarnished and improper for them to really work together as one force. Yui had been driven by hatred mostly but this girl was new…what would she be driven by?
Amiboshi dropped his thoughts as he looked at the girl; who had now sat up and was staring at him half shocked but half curious. He wondered how she was like…. how she lived her life in her world. Amiboshi had watched her as she rested in her sleep. And he had to admit she was quite startling. But now as she had woken she seemed to become so much more radiant even though he had thought it would have been impossible. She had just woken for the first time in two days after all.
Looking at her now as she was awake, was something he wished he hadn't because he found himself feeling feeble and extremely dirty. Long golden locks fell gracefully from her head while two god-like blue orbs sat as eyes on her fine-looking face. She had a perplexed looked on her face yet he knew somehow, she was filled with kindness.
"Err…hi!" said the wispier voice of the alien girl. Her face reddened slightly immediately afterwards. what am I doing? Minako thought this is no time for this….I have to get out of here…
Minako managed to plaster a smile at the unknown boy's direction. He managed to waver one back however soon returned back to staring at her.
"Are you okay? Do you wish for more pillows? I could get you some more…"
"…oh no, no I'm fine!" Minako dropped her legs unto the floor and suddenly felt cold. Looking down she saw what seemed to be a pad to cover up her left knee. Without realising she soon fell to the floor. The boy was soon at her side afterwards.
"Miss…"
"I'm fine." But truly she wasn't. It was almost as if she had forgotten how to walk and it disturbed her slightly. How was she going leave? Who was going to take care of Artemis now that she was gone? And now who was this boy? Was he some ancient Chinese prince looking for some sort of concubine? Her thoughts disturbed her more than anything. The minutes where ticking more and more each second. She tried to stand but her knees buckled and she landed on the floor.
"Owww…"
"Here let me." The boy looked at her kindly and managed to break into another smile. Minako nodded, before he took her hand over his shoulder and raised her up. After she sat on bed the embarrassment sprinkled all over her face. Well lack of face. Her long blonde hair covered her eyes causing Amiboshi to believe she was somewhat disturbed or in deep thought.
"Can I ask you something?" she said a second afterwards
"Yes, I've been told to answer all your questions" harped Amiboshi as if it was any consolation. The girl took strands of her hair and started twisting it with her fingers, her eyes still hidden.
"Where-where…where am I?" the girl finally asked her voice barely above a whisper.
"In Kutou."
"Kutou?"
"Yes."
Minako shut her eyes closed. She was in the capital. The one Hin-Lun had told her about. She didn't know why. How could she have gotten her anyway? Did she float? Of course she didn't float! Duh!! There must have been some other way. She had to retrace all her recent steps and faces. That was it! She was sprawled all over the floor and then…the thought struck her. That man. That blonde haired blue eyes soldier! He must have brought her ! She hit her hand of her head.
"Off course! How could I forget that?!" She thought and laughed at herself. Off course! It was so obvious it wasn't even funny! But her she was laughing her butt of. Man did she have ditz attacks but this was the stupidest. One plus one is obviously two so what took her 3-4 minutes to figure it out. She laughed in mirth at her stupid mistake. Amiboshi however stood there dumbfounded.
"Miss?" Not sure he should stop the girl from her laughing fit. What did she find so funny? Was it his hair? Did she find it funny?
"Oh-I-am-sorry." She said in between the laughing fit. She wiped her eyes where fresh tears fell from her face "Just a private joke. Hey…what's your name? I can't thank you properly if I don't know yours!"
Amiboshi's face reddened. She spoke so forwardly it was almost intimidating. However her whole face seemed to be shinning and showed general warmth and kindness.
"I'm Amiboshi." He said quietly "And yours is…"
He wanted to know her name. What name could suit this strange yet beautiful girl? Looking in her eyes he thought hard. Was it something flowery? Was she named after a season…maybe her name was both flowery and season related. Maybe it was Akina? No. it didn't fit well…Amiboshi didn't ponder long. The girl smiled at him, the brightness smile he had ever seen before. All she did was say one name and one name alone.
"Minako. My name is Minako"
Three hours had past and Amiboshi left Minako's room after she declared she was going to take a bath. They had a long conversation and he explained softly the things about the Seiryuu seishi and their duty to their priestess. He wasn't to say much for Nakago himself had to explain fully that they wanted Minako to become their priestess. In return Minako began to speak about her life in her world, mentioning her friends and the places she went to. It was fascinating listening to her voice however it soon grew to a time when Amiboshi had other duties. They said goodbye Amiboshi promising to take her "shopping" later on.
The hallways of the palace seemed to float as he walked to find his brother Suboshi. Talking to Minako almost seemed like talking with a cloud it was unbelievable yet it was possible. She had a certain charm to her even though she seemed a klutz at times (she kept misquoting before adding "Opps!" to her sentences) however Amiboshi knew her heart was good. Midway though his thoughts when he heard a voice
"Aniki?"
Amiboshi paused before turning towards his twin who stood with slight anxiousness. His features where all similar to his yet his face was somewhat saddened by something.
"She is not Yui-Sama."
Amiboshi nodded. Suboshi bent his head.
"No. She isn't."
Suboshi should have known. It couldn't have been Yui. Their lives where different now. They could not have the same priestess…no matter he wished it was Yui…no matter how much he wished to love Yui…
"She's a very nice person. I spoke to her."
He believed his brothers words. However how could he get over the fact that they had a new priestess? And that the new one…how could Aniki accept her so quickly…
"Don't worry Brother…it'll be fine…."
Amiboshi embraced his younger brother. He knew he was still attached to Yui no matter how much time had passed. He knew he had to help him …his heart was still broken…he had to help him. His brother's heart was torn and shreaded...he needed his support
"It'll be fine. I swear."
Don Dom Don! Yep I had to end it here! You think I would let it continue? NEVER! I will make you suffer! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Okay I seriously should stop copying Akito from Fruit Basket.
Venus of Love- You haven't figured out everything…
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY LOVES AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
