Hey! What's up, people? I'm new at this story thing, so I forgot to put little talks at the top of the story! Oh, and to my two wonderful reviewers, I know the Byakko light is white. If you read the end of the first chapter, it says both Kat AND Kate were sucked into the book, Kate with a red light and Kat with a white light. Sorry for the character names being so similar, but this is a commission for some friends of mine at school, whose name's happen to be Kate and Kat.
Right! Also, it has been brought to my attention that I have forgotten the disclaimer! Well, since it's needed, I own nothing of the original Fushigi Yuugi story what-so-ever. All I own is this computer, keyboard, and imagination! Alright, on to the story!
"What……?" Kat stared at the woman who was kneeling down on the ground next to the bed she had woken up in. "Priestess of what?"
"Priestess of Byakko." Fa Wan stood up and sat down at the chair she had pulled to the bed. "In our country, there is a legend that at a time of great need in the country, a young lady from another world will appear to gather the seven Byakko Warriors. Upon gathering the Warriors, she will summon the god Byakko to save the country. The legend says there has already been a priestess years ago, but our country has come into turmoil once again, and it must be saved by you, Priestess."
And then there was silence. Kat stared at the woman blankly, as if she would say something else to clarify everything she had just said. Taking a deep breath, Kat bravely asked the question that she was just dying to ask. "Okay, so, I'm a priestess. And I'm in another world. And I have to save a country, but only after finding these warriors, who will help me summon a god to protect the country, right?"
Fa Wan nodded.
"I knew I should have paid more attention to Kate's incessant anime talk. Well, no, I didn't think I should, because I never thought I would get sucking into one." Kat mumbled to herself. But after this thought had passed through her head, her eyes widened. "Kate! Kate must have been pulled into the place, too!" She stood up quickly and looked around the room. "I'm sorry, but I have to go! I need to find someone at once! Thank you for your hospitality!"
But as Kat was about to run out the door, Fa Wan's voice called out to her. "Wait! Someone else came in with you?" Kat turned around, startled by the near desperation in Fa Wan's voice.
"Yes. My friend Kate came with me. Why?"
"Oh dear…" Fa Wan looked extremely troubled. "We need to take you to the capital of Xi-Lang to talk to the Emperor. If another girl from your world was brought here, there could be trouble." Fa Wan stood up and walked towards the door. "Come on, Li. We must hurry." She took Kat's hand and walked out the door.
Blinking at the sudden change of light, Kat allowed herself to be drug out to door. "Wait, Fa Wan! What do you mean there could be trouble? What's wrong with Kate?"
Fa Wan had lead them out to a horse drawn wagon with Li tottering behind them carrying a set of blankets. "Well, the legend of the priestesses tells of the last time that two priestesses entered our world at the same time." Fa Wan climbed on the front of the wagon, holding out her hand for Kat. Fa Li climbed in the back of the wagon and set out her blankets for her to sit on. " It was the Priestess of Suzaku and the Priestess of Seryuu, who entered the book as best friends. But their countries, Hong-Nan and Qu-Dong, were at war, and this tension caused the two Priestesses to go to war. It was a long and hard battle where many lives were lost. But if we get you to the capital in time, then you can gather your warriors before your friend does, and there will be no need for a war." The horses had set off down the dirt road at a rather quick pace. In the back, Fa Li, who had heard the story over and over again, had fallen asleep in the back on the blankets.
"So, you're saying that Kate and I could get into a war if I don't find these warriors? So, where do I find them?" Kat looked at Fa Wan anxiously. It was bad enough when she and Kate argued, but if she got into a full scale war with her friend, God forbid.
"Well, the warriors can usually feel when their priestess has arrived, and they begin to travel towards her. Not consciously. It's their destiny." Fa Wan's face dropped slightly. "Which is why I believe we found you."
"What do you mean?"
Fa Wan looked behind her at her small daughter. "Li is one of your warriors. The Celestial Warrior Amefuri."
Yay! Go chapter 3! I hope you guys like it so far. Review for me please! Maybe I'll think of a better way to end these chapters.
