Hiya guys! It's Ranchan once again and here I'm trying out my Fushigi Yugi. Please don't hate me if I do it badly. This is the first one I am doing for this wonderful anime. I mostly have done Ranma, Inu Yasha and Disney fanfics. Two of my Inu Yasha are posted here on Fanfiction.net hopefully I'll post more. I ask that everyone please review my work and let me know how I am doing. No flames please but I will allow constructive criticism. Thank you all.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fushigi Yugi or it's characters. I did however change a few things though do to the fact that this is not the Suzaku Seven from the original story but a future Seven. I ask that you do please keep this in mind though. Thanks

The Mysterious Play: Act 2

Prologue: Premonition

It had been two years since Mayo Sakaki had returned from the book. Miaka and Taka's daughter was now a toddler. Both parents were well beyond being proud. Life seemed to be normal except for one thing. The book of the Four Gods had once again appeared, only this time right in Miaka and Taka's home.

No one has been able to understand why it suddenly appeared where it had. Taka now lived in the real world with Miaka, who had fulfilled her role as Priestess of Suzaku. Their lives within the book now just remained memories and stories that they would tell Hikari one day.

The day today had been like any other. Taka went off to work, Miaka taking care of Hikari. Yui had come over for a visit briefly. She was now pregnant with her own child and eagerly awaiting the faithful moment. When Taka had gotten home, he forgot about work and focused on his family. As was usual since the appearance of the book Miaka and Taka had gotten in the habit of discussing any worries or concerns about the book and the book world to a whisper. They knew that their daughter was extremely impressionable and would begin to repeat everything they said. Soon after getting Hikari to bed they themselves would retire for the day.

That night Miaka had a strange dream. It included a red phoenix, and seven people. All of which were determined to save something. Then she saw what they were trying to save, a girl about her mid teens with violet blue eyes and brown hair. A girl that looked a lot like her but also shared the qualities of Taka as well. She was struggling against some sort of invisible bonds. Then Miaka saw a closer look at two of the seven people. First was a woman with long purple hair and traditional mandarin outfit and armlets on both wrists. Another one was a guy were fancy but shabby looking clothes with red hair, and tears running down his cheeks but still determined to reach his goal through his grief. The phoenix seemed to yelling for the return of the priestess. He also suddenly yelled out for Taka and herself.

Miaka sat up with a start; one that woke up her husband as well. She was scared and her breathing was labored. She looked at her alarm clock and saw it was almost 4 a.m.

"Miaka, what is it? What's wrong?" Taka couldn't hold back the concern in his voice.

"I just dreamt of Suzaku but it wasn't with you or me. It was Hikari, I'm sure of it. Suzaku was calling for the return of the priestess, for the return of Hikari. Then it called out our names. There were warriors there too, I only saw two clearly one resembled Nuriko but was a real woman and the other looked like Tasuki."

"Are you sure Miaka? Are you sure it was Hikari?" Would his daughter end up in that world one day? Would she be another priestess for Suzaku? He didn't want to hide the truth forever but for her to one day enter that world, Taka never wanted to consider it.

"Yes I'm sure. But why show me now when the girl I saw, the Hikari I saw was a teenager?"

"I guess Suzaku wants us to know and prepare ourselves and her for that time."

"She's only two, Taka. We use our lives and our friends as parts of a story how do you prepare her for that?"

"I'm not quiet sure and you obviously don't know why she'll be chosen either. So I suggest we just work it out as time goes by. If she isn't pulled in by her 16th birthday we'll tell her out right. If you have anymore dreams tell me and we'll figure it out okay?"

"Taka there is one more thing." She said this softly because she knew why the boy like Tasuki was crying. She didn't want to be right, she didn't want her daughter to go through what she did to have the man she had beside her.

"What?" He didn't like Miaka's tone. It seemed foreboding and uneasy.

"The boy that was like Tasuki, he was crying. He was crying over Hikari. He.." She couldn't say it. It was too much already.

"He fell in love didn't he? Our daughter will face what we did if she's not careful. Is that it Miaka?" He saw her nod and he held his breath, for what he wasn't sure of though. He knew that Miaka and him had a hard time in trying to be with one another. He as well didn't want that pain for his little girl.

"Well we'll have to warn her about giving her heart up so easily now won't we?" He finally told his wife.

They then went back to sleep. As always the truth about the book was hidden behind whispers. To Hikari they were bedtime stories. Miaka received the same dream only twice over the passing years once when Hikari was 9 and again when Hikari turned 12. It remained the same nothing more nothing less.
