1 Chapter 1
Ruri leaned back in her chair and closed eyes. "Ah~. What a boring day. Geez, all I did was study my butt off. And it's a weekend, too!" She opened her eyes to reveal dark brown eyes behind her glasses and she glared at her book. She sighed again. "Ugh, I wish something would happen." She closed her book and stood up to stretch, "Maybe I'll get in some anime time. I'm not doing anymore studying, that's for sure." She looked at her limited anime collection and started for her Fushigi Yuugi tape. "Maybe a little Tasuki will cheer me up."
Just as she touched the tape, a red glow flashed and engulfed Ruri. She screamed, "Nani yo!" And she disappeared.
~~~
Tasuki and Chichiri were sitting by a river, enjoying each other's company. Chichiri was fishing and Tasuki looking on, leaning on a tree.
"It's been a while since we did this, isn't it Chichiri?" Tasuki asked.
Chichiri nodded, "Hai. It has been a while, no da."
They each fell into a friendly silence, not having to talk. When suddenly a red flash caught their attention behind them. They turned and ran over to where the light came from.
"Oi, what the hell?" Tasuki exclaimed when he saw something.
"It's only a girl, no da."
"I knew that. I mean, what the hell is she doing here?" Chichiri shrugged.
They looked at the girl who was lying on the ground, unconscious. She was dressed strangely (flares, shirt and shoes) and had a funny object on her face. Judging by her size, they both assumed she was young.
"What the hell do we do with her?" Tasuki whispered.
"I don't know, no da." Chichiri shrugged, "But maybe we should take her in to see if she'll be all right, no da."
Tasuki nodded, "Why dontcha go and set a place for her. I'll carry her behind you."
"Wakkatta, na no da." Chichiri went to where they were and made a makeshift bed. Tasuki picked her up, went over to Chichiri and set her down. The two sat there waiting for her to wake up. They didn't have to wait long, a few minutes later the girl stirred and started to wake up.
~~~
Ruri opened her eyes to a clear blue sky. What the hell? Where am I?
Then a voice spoke, "Daijoubu, na no da?"
Ruri turned towards the voice and her eyes widened.
"Oi, why aren't you answering?"
Ruri's eyes widened even more and couldn't help herself. She launched herself at Tasuki, "Tasuki~~~!!!"
Tasuki flailed his arms and fell over as Ruri glomped him. "What the hell?!"
"I can't believe it's really you!" She squeezed him tighter.
Tasuki sweatdropped, "Get the fuck offa me! I don't even know you! Oi, Chichiri! Get off yer ass and help me here!"
"DA~~." Was all.
A few minutes later, Ruri settled down and sat next to Tasuki.
Tasuki glared at her, "So, how the hell do you know us?"
"Because where I'm from, you guys are an anime and I saw the whole thing." Ruri answered.
"Ano~, does that mean you're from another world, no da?" Chichiri asked.
Ruri nodded. "Hai. I was just going to do something until I was sent here."
"Hold on a minute," Tasuki interrupted. "How do we know you're telling the truth about knowing us?"
Ruri's eyes glinted, "I know why you don't like milk and women. And Chichiri, I know you wear a mask to hide a scar. Good enough?"
Tasuki sweatdropped and nodded.
"So what you're name, no da?"
"Ruri desu!" She smiled, "And it seems like I'll be staying here with you guys."
"Another girl from a different world. Che." Tasuki looked at her. "Are ya another miko?"
Ruri shook her head, "I don't think so." Before she could continue, a loud grumble was heard. Ruri blushed as Chichiri and Tasuki sweatdropped. "Eh hehe. Do you have any food?"
Chichiri nodded, "I'll get you some, no da." He got up to get some.
"I hope ya don't eat as much as Miaka." Tasuki said.
Ruri rolled her eyes, "Don't worry, I don't." She saw Chichiri coming back with food and smiled. "Arigato Chichiri!" And she started eating.
~~~
After she finished her meal, Ruri leaned back and sighed. "Ah~, that was good. My compliments to the chef."
"Arigato, no da."
Ruri turned to Chichiri. "You cooked it?"
"Hai, no da."
"When did you learn how to cook like that?"
Chichiri thought for a while, "While I was on my own, no da. Then when we were fighting against Seiryuu. Mitsukake, Nuriko and I took turns cooking."
Ruri pointed at Tasuki, "Why didn't he cook?"
Chichiri and Tasuki sweatdropped. "He's not as bad a Miaka, no da. But he's isn't the greatest either."
"Uresai!" As Tasuki finished his sentence, all three of them glowed and disappeared.
~~~
The three arrived and reappeared. Tasuki took one look around and crossed his arms, Ruri looked around with curiosity and Chichiri just stood there.
"Welcome Ruri." A raspy voice called out.
She turned around to come face to face with an old wrinkly face.
[A hammer lands on the author's head]
Ruri jumped back and screamed, "Sunakake baba!!" A hammer landed on her head and Tasuki was laughing while Chichiri "da"-ed.
"Watch it, child."
Ruri got up and rubbed her head. "Hai. Gomen nasai, Taiitsukun."
"Taiitsukun?" Chichiri asked. "Why was Ruri brought here, no da?"
At the question Taiitsukun smiled. She turned to Ruri. "Ruri, this is the benefit for both sides. You have been a loyal fan, so you were brought here. Tasuki, Chichiri, she will help you overcome obstacles."
"Ya mean she's gonna stay with us for a while?" Tasuki asked, "For how long?
"It depends," Taiitsukun answered.
"Dammit! Not another damn girl!" he fumed. Just then a shoe flew and smacked him in the head. "Itta~! The hell?!" He glared at Ruri who was glaring at him.
"I'm not just another 'damn girl', Tasuki." She retorted.
"Yeah well, Chichiri and I are gonna have to look over ya. So you're just like any other damn girl!"
Ruri got another shoe, "Yeah? Well, I can take care of myself!" She threw the shoe, but this time Tasuki caught it and he stuck his tongue out at her.
Before Ruri could do or say anything else, Taiitsukun interrupted them, "Uresai!!" Ruri and Tasuki stopped fighting, but took the time to stick out their tongues at each other. Taiitsukun cleared her throat. "You have a choice Ruri. You can either stay here or you can go back home for a short while. But once you go and come back, you can never return home."
Ruri thought about it for minute. If she went back, she would be able to get some essentials and clothes. Shoe looked at Taiitsukun, "I'd like to go back home."
Taiitsukun nodded, "Very well. When you get home you will have three minutes in your time to get everything."
Ruri blinked, "Three minutes?"
Taiitsukun nodded. "Three minutes your time is several hours in this world."
"Makes sense, no da." Chichiri said.
"Ok, well... anytime." Ruri said.
Taiitsukun nodded and closed her eyes. Ruri started glowing red and disappeared.
~~~
Ruri looked around her room and realized she wasn't dreaming or she would have been in bed. Grabbing her bag, she opened her dresser and got some clothes. After stuffing them in her bag, she got her toothbrush and such. Putting those in her bag, she looked around and spotted her desk. From it, she added her pencil case, notebook and sketchpad to her bag. Before zipping up her bag, she added her sneakers. As she zipped her bag close, she glowed red again and disappeared. Made it just in time. She thought.
~~~
Tasuki paced back and forth, "Are you sure this is a good idea?"
"What's wrong, Tasuki-kun?" Chichiri asked from where he was sitting.
"A girl from another world is stayin' here during a lot of trouble, dammit! It ain't safe. And we're the ones who have to take care of her!" Tasuki turned to Taiitsukun, "Why now, of all times?"
"Because this is the time for things to happen." Was the only answer he got.
"Dammit, you old bag! Tell me why exactly she's here!"
A hammer landed on his head.
"Watch your language, child. I will tell you what I want to tell."
"Daijoubu, na no da." Chichiri assured him. "She'll be fine if she stayed in one place the whole time, no da."
Tasuki brightened at the thought, "JA! Maybe we can drop her off at the palace!"
"Out of the question," Taiitsukun interjected. "The empress has enough worries to deal with. She doesn't need more worries. Besides, this really doesn't concern her."
Chichiri then suggested something, "Maybe she can stay at your hideout, no da."
"No fuckin' way!" Tasuki burst out. "What about you?"
"Da~. I would, no da. But I'm a wondering monk, no da. Remember?"
"Aw, shit!" He complained. "But there's just as much damn trouble there!"
"There are men around though, no da." Chichiri pointed out.
"Then it's settled. Ruri will be staying with Tasuki." Taiitsukun proclaimed. Just then a red light appeared and Ruri appeared.
She smiled, "I'm back!" She held up her bag, "And all ready, too!"
"Remember Ruri," Taiitsukun began, "from now on you cannot return to your world until your task is completed."
Ruri nodded. "Ano, Taiitsukun? I have a question."
"What is it, child?"
She looked at Chichiri and Tasuki and blushed slightly, "It's a little private."
Taiitsukun nodded and looked at the two. "Please excuse us." Chichiri and Tasuki bowed and left the room.
"So, what is your question?"
~~~
"What the hell is that old bag thinkin'?!" Tasuki paced back and forth. "Are you sure the only place for her to stay is my place?"
"Calm down, Tasuki-kun. It's not the end of the world, no da." Said Chichiri.
The door opened to reveal a very happy Ruri. "Let's get going!" She turned to Taiitsukun, "By the way, where are the Nyan-Nyan?"
"Eh~."
Before Taiitsukun could say anything, several little girls with blue hair popped up. "You need to be fix, healed?" They asked.
One Nyan-Nyan went up to Ruri and took her hand, "Come, we fix, heal you."
Ruri blinked, "What's there to fix, heal?"
A Nyan-Nyan took her glasses off and another put her hands over Ruri's eyes. A small, white light flashed and disappeared. The Nyan-Nyan removed her hands from Ruri's eyes, "All done!"
Ruri looked up and blinked, "Uso!" She ran across the room and looked at Tasuki and Chichiri. "I can still see you guys! You're not blurry!"
A confused look appeared at the Seishi's face. "What the hell is she talkin' about?" Tasuki asked.
"Sa~" Chichiri answered as he looked on, watching Ruri jump up and down.
"She is now able to see clearly with her eyes." Taiitsukun answered.
"But wasn't she able to see before, no da?"
Taiitsukun held up Ruri's glasses. "These are called 'glasses' in her world. Wearing them on her face, she was able to see. But now, she has no need to wear them."
"You mean I was gonna have to look after a blind, little girl?!" Tasuki said. A shoe landed on his face and he fell over. When he got up, Ruri was in front of him.
"I may have been blind, Tasuki, but that doesn't mean it affected my hearing." She said.
"Okay, I will transport you three near you're hideout, Tasuki," Taiitsukun interjected before things got out of hand.
At this point, the Nyan-Nyan decided to interrupt, "We can fix, heal Taiitsukun's face like Ruri's eyes!"
"Wai! We can fix, heal Taiitsukun's face!" Said another Nyan-Nyan.
"Will you let me finish!" The next thing heard was a punch and, "AAIIIEEE~~!!!" of the Nyan-Nyan. Taiitsukun then turned to the three who were sweatdropping. "Ruri, you will be going with Tasuki. He'll take care of you."
Ruri's eyes brightened, "Honto? Wai!" She glomped on to Tasuki.
"Oi! Get offa me!" Tasuki tried to pry Ruri off of him.
Chichiri stood watching with a bigger sweatdrop over his head. A stress mark appeared over Taiitsukun's head. She concentrated and the three of the disappeared. Then she looked around and sighed, "Ah~ finally. Peace and quiet."
