I don't own Fushigi Yuugi or Star Trek: Deep Space 9.

Tasuki and Chichiri followed the colored man to a small office, well, they thought it was an office. He had conversed with the man in blue and then they had been joined by a man who looked like he was wearing a mask and a woman with odd ridges on her nose and an interesting earring.

The man spoke to them briefly, but once again they couldn't understand it. And they definately couldn't understand the other two new people. That language didn't sound human at all. A quick conference between the others and the colored man walked towards the wall and pressed some colored pads there and two small items appeared out of no where, causing Tasuki to yelp and jump towards Chichiri.

They watched, fascinated as the man approached and held them out to them. When they didn't take the offered items, he sighed and approached quietly to Chichiri and pressed one of the items to Chichiri's shirt before stepping back and talking once again.

"Gdoldyh holegeod lsd otldyt ldh I just want to know if they can understand me yet."

"Yes, I can understand you."

Tasuki glanced to Chichiri, astonished. "You can understand them?" Chiri nodded and looked towards the colored man. "How can I understand you though?"

The man smiled. "These are communicators, but they also translate the different languages spoken here. They are harmless, but your friend will need one to communicate efficiently with us." He was holding out the other communicator which Chichiri took cautiously. He turned towards Tasuki.

"They translate our words, Tas-chan." Tasuki gave him a dubious look and then nodded as the woman spoke softly. "Tas-chan?" Chichiri pressed the communicator to Tasuki's overcoat and then stood back and watched his friends face go from dubious to slightly awed as the conversation around him began to make sense.

The colored man smiled slightly "I take it you can understand us now?" Both warriors nodded and the man spoke again. "My name is Captain Benjamin Sisko. This is my first officer, Kira. Head of security, Odo and our cheif medical officer, Dr. Bashir." He stopped and Tasuki and Chichiri shared a quick glance. "My name is Chichiri, no da. This is my friend, Tasuki."

The group nodded and Captain Sisko spoke again. "What are you doing on my station, Chichiri?"

The monk shrugged "I am not sure, no da. We were in a lake, being dragged under by something and to save us, I used my powers without a focusing item and I've never been terribly good at that, no da." He blushed slightly, looking away as Tasuki muttered "Just like your landings."

Chichiri turned to glare at Tasuki, the effect ruined cause of the mask when Odo spoke. "Powers, focusing item? Landing? What are you talking about?"

The two seishi shared another glance. "We are the two remaining celestial warriors of Suzaku, from the Land of Konan. I'm a monk. I have items that allow me to focus my energy and use powers, such as teleportation, telepathy, changing my appearance, ki shields. Tasuki was granted supernatural speed by Suzaku."

"Who is this Suzaku you speak of?" They turned to the woman, Kira.

"Suzaku is the God that we worship in Konan."

"And where is Konan?"

"In the Universe of the Four Gods."

Benjamin blinked for a second "That religion that started on Earth in the 20th century?"

The two shrugged slightly as Kira turned to her commanding officer "You've heard about it?"

Sisko nodded "Supposedly there was a book that would draw in people from our world into this universe and the girls they took would become priestess's, calling the God's of the world to grant them wishes. Genbu, Seiryyu, Byakko and Suzaku. The priestess's would have seven warriors to help them call the God and protect her."

The others turned to the warriors and looked questioningly at them. "So, you are tell me that you two are celestial warriors of Suzaku?"

They both nodded "Yes, Miaka was our priestess and we spent alot of our time with her thwarting Kouto, who had their own priestess, the Seiryyu no Miko. Her name was Yui and she and Miaka were best friends in their own time, but enemies in ours."

"How do you know about the Universe of the Four God's anyways? Even in Miaka's time, it's not widly known." Chichiri could have groaned at Tasuki's slightly rude tone, but Sisko just smiled.

"My father was into history and that was one of the few stories that really caught my attention. Why you would end up on my space station though..." He trailed off thoughtfully and Tasuki yelped "Space Station?"

Chichiri looked equally stunned and Sisko caught himself having to explain the Federation to two men from what would be ancient china.

HOURS LATER!

Tasuki paced back and forth in front of the large window, showing space and a planet they came to find out is Bajor. The bandit was stauntly not looking out the window, every time he did, the overwhelming fear of the unknown would close in.

Chichiri, on the other hand, was standing against the clear material, face pressed against it, looking as far as he could in all directions. Tasuki turned his back on the imposing sight and the monk, flopping down on the weirdly shaped couch in the room. "I can't believe it, Chichiri. Not only have we travelled to a different time, but to a different world all together. You really did a number on your history of horrible landings this time."

The monk finally turned from the window to give Tasuki a mild glare and then moved towards the couch that held his friend. "I don't think it was me entirely that brought us here, Tasuki, no da. I felt another force involved when I teleported us. No use blaming me solely for it."

The bandit cast a glance at his friend from the corner of his eye and then sighed. "I know, I'm just not all that comfortable with the idea that my feet is touching a solid surface, but the solid surface under me is not on any ground, but hangin in space. And it can't even be the space around our world, it has to be the space around another world at that."

The monk agreed to this and fell silent, his thoughts roaming over their predicament.

After several more minutes of silent brooding, Tasuki cast a glance at his companion and correctly read the tenseness in the monks posture. The damned mask was still on, but he knew his friends moods well enough to know what was going on in Chichiri's mind. He tried to lighten the moment and smiled, fangs peeking out. "Hey, Chichiri. How about we go and see what type of excitement this place has to offer. Sisko-sama did say we could explore that Prominade area all we wanted, after all."

Chichiri, pulling from his mussings, was about to decline the offer and tell Tasuki to go on ahead when he stopped and caught the look in the bandit's eyes. He knew if he declined, Tasuki would sit back and pout, but not leave the room and he smiled suddenly. His brash friend was as unsettled by this as he was, if not moreso. If Tasuki could act natural, then he could too.

"You just want to find the local tavern, no da, and try out the local booze." Tasuki grimaced and looked away, a smirk leaking onto his face "Ya have no faith. I just wanted to mingle, Chichiri."

The monk smirked and stood, kesa fluttering to settle softly back over his shoulders and he nodded "Fine, we will go and mingle as you say. I totally refuse to drag your drunk body back up here though, no da." He moved towards the door, grabbing his Shakujou. When they had arrived at their quarters, their items had been there, waiting. Chichiri suspected even more surely that Suzaku had a hand in their being here.

Tasuki smiled as they left the room, moving towards the Prominade, using Chichiri's sense of direction (not Tasuki's). "If I get that drunk, Chiri, ya can jus leave me where I fall and get me in the mornin." The monk just sighed out a soft "Daaaa" and led his overly cheerful friend onward.

Up ahead, Odo watched the two newcomers from the doorway of his office. He felt it best not to warn them that he was keeping an eye on them, as the redhead looked brash and probably wouldn't take to it well.

However, the more outgoing of the two wasn't the one that he was curious about. The blue haired one reminded him greatly of the Founders, with his featureless face and permanently smiling face. Something just wasn't right about him. Both strangely dressed foreigners had odd items in their possession. The blue haired man held a strange staff with an ornate top on it, one that Sisko had called a "Monk's Staff."

The other had a metal fan strapped to his back with the use of ingeniously arranged belts and straps. He had a feeling both could be used as weapons, although he didn't see how they would be very effective against phasers of this time. However, as he watched the redhead cheer upon coming to Quarks and bolting in faster then humanly possible and the bluette sighing as he followed, he knew that he would definately keep an eye on these two till he could figure them out. Odo stepped from his doorway and walked towards the bar, standing casually as possible across the way.

He groaned quietly when Quark approached. The Ferengi spoke low and nodded towards the two warriors "Don't know what to make of them, do you?" Odo glanced at the bar owner and grunted again. "I just want to keep an eye on them till I get a feel for them more, plus keep an eye on you also."

The Ferengi smiled at him, sharp teeth showing. "Why Odo, I didn't know you cared." With that remark, the Ferengi went back inside to take an order from the two.

Chichiri held his surprise in at the sight of Quark, although Tasuki screamed outloud and said that the bartender looked like Taiitsukun. Chichiri just sighed as the strange man frowned. Quark looked to the monk. "Was that an insult?"

Chichiri, hearing the undercurrents of hostility, bowed to the strange man and spoke politely "No, Taiitsukun is the creator of our world and a very powerful and respected entity." Tasuki, realizing his mistake at his reaction gave a nod. "Yes, that is right. I just for a moment had thought Taiitsukun had come to return us to Konan before I got to taste booze in this place."

Quark, not totally convinced at the sincerity of the bandit's words, none the less straightened and took their order. Captain Sisko had said to serve them as they needed, within reason, and he didn't mind educating the redhead upon the finer points of what he had to offer. The blue haired fellow with the strange face mearly ordered a glass of water. Obviously he knew enough about his companion to stay sober at the obvious enthusiasm the red head was showing towards drinking.

Quark returned not long after with their drinks and smiled as Tasuki slugged down a Romulan Ale. His face turned an interesting shade of puce, which clashed wildly with his hair before he began to cough. The other stood and slapped his friend on the back, murmoring calmly to him. A minute later the redhead was smiling shakily at the other. "Thanks Chichiri, almost as good as Mitsukake, and ya can do that more then once a day." The man, Chichiri, nodded "But I would prefer to save that for later, not the first drink, Tasuki, no da."

'Tasuki? Chichiri? Weird names, even for humans.' Quark kept these thoughts to himself and smiled. "By the way, I'm Quark. Owner of this establishment. And you are?"

Chichiri stood and gave a half bow, "I am Chichiri and this is my brother warrior, Tasuki." Quark frowned over the odd phrase. "Brother Warrior? You two don't look like brother's."

Tasuki began to chuckle at this. "Nah, Chiri and I ain't blood brothers, but we are 2 of the 7 chosen warriors of our God to fight for our country. Tha's what he means. Can I get another of those?"

Quark nodded as he digested these words and cast a quick glance towards Odo, whose expression said that he had heard the words. They are warriors. He returned with the Romulan Ale and set it before Tasuki, who drank this one more slowly. The owner sat across from Chichiri.

"So, tell me more about these warrior brothers of yours?"

He watched both men grow pale, well Tasuki did, although that might have been the alcohol. Chichiri went pale at the neck, but not the face. Something majorly wrong with that man, that's for sure. The redhead smiled. "Well, there were 7 of us ta start with. We were to help our Miko summon our God, Suzaku, to save our country, Konan, from invasion."

Quark nodded "Were?"

Chichiri spoke softly, not aware that not only was Quark listening, but so was Odo, Kira, Jadzia, Worf and Bashir, the others hidden behind a pole and some plants.

"The legend went that the Priestess that would summon Suzaku would come from another world. Our Priestess was Miaka. She came from a place called Tokyo, in Japan. Her warriors were Tamahome, Hotohori, Nuriko, Chiriko, Mitsukake, Tasuki and Chichiri. We were the Seven Celestial Warriors of Suzaku."

Tasuki was silent, seemingly concentrating on his drink as Chichiri gave a run down of the fight to summon Suzaku.

"We were infiltrated by Kutou spies and one, named Amiboshi, deceived us and posed as Chiriko. He was discovered to be a Warrior of Seiryuu, from Kutou and with him at the summoning, our God failed to appear. He tried to kill us, but the real Chiriko appeared in time and it was thought that he fell to his death, but he was later discovered alive.

We found out from Taiitsukun that we could still summon Suzaku if we discovered and found the two Shinzaho items that were on the Priestess's of Genbu and Byakko when they summoned their beast gods. Outside of the cave where the first item lay, Nuriko was killed by the Seiryu warrior called Ashitare. We thought Ashitare was dead, but when his man side was killed, he was reborn as his wolf form and when we exitted the cave with the necklace, it was stolen by Ashitare, and taken to Nakago, the General in charge of Kutou's army, and also a Seiryu seven.

We were all nearly destroyed in an illusion by Tomo, another Seiryu warrior, but Amiboshi arrived and rescued us, finding that he himself had come to love our priestess and was protecting her. His twin brother, Suboshi, was also a Seiryu Seven and loved the Priestess of Seiryu, Miaka's best friend, Yui.

We found ourselves obtaining the second Shinzaho, only to have it taken by Nakago and Yui as well. In this time, our youngest Celestial Brother, Chiriko, was killed while possessed by Miboshi. He killed himself to take Miboshi down.

After Seiryu was summoned, we returned to the palace where Hotohori had stayed, as it was not safe for him to travel with us..."

He is cut off here by Quark. "Why?"

"Hotohori was our emperor." Tasuki's voice is soft and Chichiri and the redhead share a glance before the monk continues. "The kutou empire attacked and Suzaku was locked away, his powers leaving us. We became ordinary humans. Mitsukake fell in an effort to save others. He gave his life energy to save the dying around him and then Hotohori was killed by Nakago." Chichiri sighs and Tasuki turns away, pain on his features. "During these battles, Miaka and Tamahome, along with Yui, were returned to Miaka and Yui's world, in an effort for Lady Yui to seperate Tamahome and Miaka. Nakago eventually joined Yui in that world and Miaka's brother got through to us in ours and informed us that we had to find a way there. Upon arrival, we found her world being destroyed and Tamahome down and almost dead. Just in time, the Lady Yui, who was being used by Nakago, learned the truth and used her last wish to Seiryu to allow Miaka to summon Suzaku. Our powers returned, our friends borrowed the bodies of Nyan Nyan's, helpers of Taiitsukun and our combined powers flowing into Tamahome to strengthen him, made him stronger and he defeated Nakago. Tamahome was reborn into Miaka's world as Taka and our friends are hopefully being reborn into their chosen forms. Now, Tasuki and I are the last left in Konan and we wander. We were at a lake, near Tasuki's home when a spell of teleportation went wrong and we ended up here."

Quark frowned "Spell? Teleportation?" Tasuki nodded "He always has problems with landings, but usually Chichiri gets us to the right spot."

The monk frowned at his bandit friend. "I told you, something else corrupted the spell, no da." The bandit simply smirked.

Quark looked at the monk. "What are you?"

"I'm human, no da. But, I'm a monk of Suzaku and also a mage of sorts, no da."

Hearing these words, Odo backed away from his spot and walked off, leaving Quark to question the two. He saw Worf, Jadzia, Kira and Julian listening and smiled, anything else pertinant, the Major would tell him about.

Later that night, Tasuki lay in bed. Even after having a fair amount to drink, he didn't even have a buzz. What the hell was the use of drinking if he couldn't get drunk. He was purposely turned away from the window and shuddered at how alone he felt. After tossing and turning for a few hours, he rose and walked towards Chichiri's room, where the monk slept in the larger bed.

He frowned in the doorway and then padded forward before settling onto the carpeted floor beside Chichiri's bed. He didn't feel so alone in here and was almost drifting off to sleep when he heard the low voice of Chichiri.

"Tasuki, no da?" The bandit raised his head and looked into the worried, unmasked face of his friend. "What are you doing in here, no da?"

"I couldn't sleep" was the only reply the redhead gave. The monk gazed at his friend for a bit and then nodded. "To much space?"

Tasuki winced at the pun but nodded "I like to know that there is walls around me, and then earth. Outside of these walls is space. I don't like that."

The monk smiled and scooted over. "Well, don't sleep on the floor, the bed is plenty big for the both of us. Come on."

Tasuki bolted off the floor and settled onto the bed with Chichiri. He felt the mage settle back and Tasuki closed his eyes. "Good night, Chichiri."

"Good Night, Tasuki, no da."
