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. I have to face YY.

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

Author's note: GUESS WHAT?!?! I got a puppy … my doggy died and I went all crazy but now … I HAVE A PUPPY!!!! Anyway …I'm so sorry I forgot to say, no there is no Fushigi Yugi character named Aya. She is just this random girl that I thought of ... because I mean come on Reishun must have had friends but we just never see them. Thank you soooooo much for bringing that up… . Anyway on with the fic. Not like anyone reads it anyway really though. Sorry Simi-depressed

Sunlight…

Morning…

Pain…

All these things put together are not a good mix. I looked up at the now brightly lit sky, still half asleep and half out of it.

When it finally clicked, my body shot up into a half sitting position, a deep pain hitting right in my left inner thigh. I left out a whimper as the pain spread all the way up my body.

'What happened?' I thought bringing a hand to where the center of the pain was, my hand landed on bare flesh. I gasped looking around.

My kimono was torn at the bottom and mud stains were running up and down the full length of it.

Tears started to flow from my eyes, the first tears I had gotten in a long time. 'What happened …was I mugged, nothing's missing … am I sick ... no I went to a doctor last week and he said everything was fine … maybe …

I stopped dead in mid thought, the tears coming now even harder. It has never really happened before; I had never actually "been with a guy". Other girls in the community had said stuff about it though.

They said how it hurts and how the next day you feel like you have gone running for four hours strait.

My heart was now pounding a mile a minute, there still could be some hope. Maybe it was all just umm … I could have been beaten by a man under the influence.

Possibly

Maybe

Hopefully

I slowly got up from my place on the ground and started on my way home. I was not to far from the restraint, but I really wanted to get home.

I wonder if Eian will be worried about me… he must have noticed something, I mean we have slept together for how many years now?

The people I passed seemed to look at me, all of them just stared, or so it would seem. Maybe I was just a tinny bit overly observant at the moment. I mean who wouldn't be if they were walking around thinking they were a rape victim.

Rape victim … the words just repeated over and over in my head. Could that really happen, I mean everything was going so well. I was just a girl going home to fix a meal; I've done it a few times before.

In no time I found myself to be home and entering the vacant house. "EIAN!?" I called out but there was no response. Nothing … not a thing...

He must have gone to work already I thought with a sad smile. He almost always has to work. The only day we both have off together is tomorrow, and now my mood is kind of spoiled now isn't it!!

Well today at least I could make him dinner tonight, and nothing can stand in my way. I walked into our bed room, my Kimono dripping little globs of muddy liquid on the wooden floor as I walked.

I opened up the shelf and took out a light blue house dress and matching pants. As I got dressed I made sure not to look at myself in the mirror. I really didn't want to be looking at my body. It really didn't feel like mine now anyway.

When in my new outfit a headed to wash my hair. The once side of my head was out of its restrained loop. And there was dried mud everywhere on it. Not to mention a few leaves and twigs here and there.

I took a ribbon of off the desk, and made a makeshift wrapping it around my hair. I looked at the mirror, at my head, and gave a semi-satisfied smile. I then made my way to the door.

Upon entering the kitchen, I picked up an old clean rag, wet it and cleaned up the mud drips.

When content with the floor I washed off the rag and went outside, my mind was set on forgetting all about waking up in an alley. But how can you forget something like that?

I reached the well and took some of the water out of it and put it into a big bucket. After I had a sufficient amount I carried it back into the house, into the bathing room, and into the wooden tub.

My hair was still messy and I couldn't just leave my body like this, I wonder what the people in town already think about me. Not that I care…

I reached for my clothing first, talking them off. After I was finished I put them to the side and gave a tug on the ribbon that had been holding my hair up. I spilled down my front and back.

My hair was now as long, if not longer, that how it had been before I cut it that first time. That first time when I wanted to go fight with Miaka and die for her.

Miaka … I wander what she's doing right now.

I lowered my leg into the tub; the water was freezing. Well that's what I get for not heating it. Slowly I placed my whole body in the icy water, shivering slightly.

After a bit of adjusting to the water, I dunked my head. I rubbed my hands threw my hair getting out every little bit of dirt that was in it. After I couldn't hold my breath any longer I came up gasping.

My eyes looked back into the water; the water was no longer clear but it had a tint of red/brown in it. It looked as if mud and blood had mixed together to form the liquid I was now sitting in.

I sat down a little farther into the water letting it was up ageist my lips. Normally being alone like this would make my thoughts go wild, but I was oddly sleepy. At least the pain was almost gone.

The coldness of the water almost seemed to pierce right threw my senses, turning me blind to my own thoughts. It made me forget; it even made me relax as the water hit and brushed up ageist my lips.

It even made me forget the number one rule of bathing:

Rule # 1: Never fall asleep…
