Warning: Hey get this …this fic isn't a shonen-ai fic. It's actually love between a guy and a girl. Some of you might be going but Hotohori is a guy and Nuriko's a guy too, so how can one be a girl. Well if you watch Fushigi Yugi Eikoden you'll understand this fic sooo much better. This story is also in Nuriko's and Reishun's POV but the POV never changes because they're one. .

Disclaimer: I don't own Fushigi Yugi … its Yu Watase's.

For all the people who haven't seen Eikoden: Ko Reishun is Nuriko's reincarnation; Shu Eian is Hotohori's reincarnation.

Author's note: Woot chappy two!! Thanks a bunch to my only sole faithful reviewer, you helped me so much, like you always do YY. I work at this house; giving out cookies and hot coco… what that had to do with anything I have no clue. It's fun there but I think it's haunted. Well I was working on the story there and I kind of lost it so this chappy is going to make the whole story sadder. I kind of promised myself that this would be a happy fic, you know no random bus accidents XDD (I still can't believe I thought of that o.) This chappy was originally supposed to be PURE sap but I have to add just a lil tear jerker … if my writing can have that effect o. That's about all I have to say for now. So on with the story. XDD. All pure grade A ramble.

I hummed a cheerful love song as I walked down the street to meet one of my best friends. Both of us worked at a small inn, were we served people there food and drink.

The sun was shinning just as bright as ever. It was the perfect day … to be in love.

Visions of romance filled my mind as I entered the door to the restraint. Immediately upon entering I ran into Sato Aya who greeted me like always. She dropped the carrying tray, thankfully with nothing on it, and hugged me saying, "Morning morning …" She pulled back to look into my eyes.

"You look well!" I said laughing. She began to jump up and down in excitement. This girl had problems and hyperactivity was just one of them. I looked for a quick diversion, so I could tuck away my over shawl.

"You know we're both going to get fired If you keep on doing that, right?! You could break something next time." I mentioned light heartedly, pointing at the dropped tray, as I started to move toward the main counter.

She bent down to pick up the tray, giggled as she followed me into the back room "I know I know, but getting fired won't hurt you…" I could just hear by the way she spoke that she had a grin on. "You have Eian working for you, even if you lost this job you guys would get by no problems."

I smiled slightly, she was right, Eian had a semi important job in the community and my work just brought in a little extra income. Aya's family on the other hand wasn't doing so well.

She sighed, "You've got it made. When is Eian planning to propose?" I looked over at her, as we picked up our wash cloths and headed back to the tables. I made a face, and she let out a giggle, "So he's still the slow little boy he always was?"

I nodded, "He has no idea of how I feel, not like he ever did though." I made my way toward a table and she did as well. No one was at the restraint at this time of the day so we were free to talk and clean as we pleased.

"But he's not a little boy anymore; his voice had gotten a lot deeper." She commented breaking the temporary silence. The comment made me blush, she was right he was a man now, not the little Eian I snuggled next to after our parents burial. He was a M-A-N!

I turned to look at Aya how was now sitting quietly at one of the tables looking at me work. She had such a loving smile on her face. To be honest everything about her reminded me of Miaka, the only big different is Aya hardly eats a bite.

Her hair isn't long like mine, but it's a little passed her shoulders. I always marvel at how big her eyes are; they are the same color as her hair deep brown almost black. Everyone in Suzaku Village sees her outer and inner beauty; they'd have to be blind not too.

She shifted uncomfortably under my gaze, "What are you looking at?" She asked shyly. I just smiled and sat down at the table that I was cleaning.

"Nothing, nothing at all." I smiled sweetly and she looked confused. After a moments silence. "Aya?" I asked.

She tilted her head, "What is it?" Her eyes blinking still totally confused.

"You have tones of admirers that have asked for you're hand and you're only 15" she flushed and looked down at her hands as though they were the most entertaining things in the world. So I continued, "Why don't you pick any of them?"

After about a moment more of fidgeting and she looked up again. Her face now utterly and completely flustered, "well …"She began stuttering just the slightest bit, "I'm in love with someone, and besides there all jerks."

"How so?" I giggled.

She looked disgusted at the thought of talking about them but she sighed and nodded, "I'll tell you later today, after work ok." I smiled.

"Ok but you promised … Who's the lucky man …huh? You know the one you like." There was no response to my question. Just a more sudden case of fidgeting.

When she finally looked up the fluster was gone from her face and a mischievous glint was in her eyes, "So how bout Eian huh? Did he make a move on you …at nigh … in bed?!"

My face exploded into deer in headlight mode. Aya didn't even have to say what she was thinking; I herd her loud and clear. The tone in her voice just screamed "Playback".

At seven the restraint closed and I was headed home for the day. Aya walked with me. Her house being halfway to mine, it was convenient, this was every day we could walk home together. She had given me hell all day about making dinner for Eian. But I might not even have that chance due to coming home so late. We usually got out at 6, but since it was a Saturday everyone decided to come out to eat.

As promised Aya told me the stories of why in, her mind, the men in the village were jerks. And as I listened on and on, I could she where she was coming from.

"Kazuki is so rude!!!" I screeched this made Aya laugh out so hard at my anger, of someone I didn't even know.

She almost fell down she was laughing so hard, "Now you see why I don't marry any of them … that's also why I don't like men."

I razed my eye brow at her, stifling a giggle, "Soooooo you like girls then."

"NO!!" It was my turn to laugh at her now. It was so much fun teasing her. We walked on for a bit more talking and laughing until we arrived at her house. I gave her a good night hug and started my own was home.

It had gotten very dark and was hard to tell where anything was at this point. It had gotten a bit spooky too, but I wasn't too afraid. I had been threw enough in my past life to not be afraid of the dark, even though memories of death, watching my friends and loves die still pledged me.

Even if I wasn't scared of the dark I still cold and I was shivering like mad. It was now officially Winter but no snow had fallen, so far.

Every step I took I started to shiver even more; I wrapped my arms around myself shivering fitfully. At that moment I felt the coolest I have ever felt in my whole life.

My heart pounded in my ears and I stopped dead in my tracks, an icy hand grabbed hold of my hair pulling me down to the ground.

I was too cold and frozen to let out a cry of help. My last memory before fading into darkness was the sound of breathing and pain.
