Now, I really feel that no one cares about my fic. Either that or the fic was so fabulous you cannot comment on it. Sighs…never mind, enough…I just had my bio test today. There's additional maths tomorrow. So, is this fic good? Or is it really bad? Should I stop? Nah, I wouldn't…

Disclaimer: I want Fushigi Yuugi, but could never get it…sighs…

Taka

"I have kept my ring somewhere. Miaka and I share the same type of ring. Except that I took it off one day and it rolled off to god knows where…"

Mayo sighed and Saori simply hung her head respectfully. "Taka, I could not believe you! You took off the one thing that ties both of you together? Really, I don't know why Miaka loves you so much!" Mayo grumbled. Saori nudged her hurriedly.

"You loved Taka once too, Mayo," she hissed. It did not stop Mayo from feeling angry. She pointed a finger at Taka, shivering with emotion. Tears leaked out from her eyes.

"You are supposed to love Miaka more than your soul, and now you lose your ring? Your wedding ring! The thing which caused me to run into the book! You and Miaka are so loving to each other, I am touched! I gave you up to love Keisuke, but that's because I could not find anyway to break both of you up! Personally, I think Keisuke would treat me better than you treat Miaka!"

"Mayo, it's just a ring…" Saori started.

"If you are not careful, you might lose both of them, both Hikari and Miaka! You will be left with nothing! If you had something important, you must keep it close, and not throw it around like some trash! Hotohori had done it to Nuriko and I hope you won't repeat the same mistake!"

"Mayo, Nuriko is a guy at that time…" Saori Kawaii interjected softly, trying to calm her best friend down.

"Does it matter?" Mayo asked her friend. "Does it matter if you are a guy or a woman? Love could last lifetimes, no matter what type of love it was! It is something rare, and should be treasured! If it's gone, it is gone forever! And having somebody love you does not mean you can treat the person anyhow and take her for granted! Come, Saori, I do not know this person. And unless he finds his ring, I doubt I would have any respect for him either."

With that, Mayo stormed out of the house heatedly. Saori turned back to look apologetically at Taka, before sighing and following Mayo.

Taka was shocked. "I…they were…right…I will find the ring now."

Chichiri

"And so that's what happened, Suboshi, Amiboshi."

"Wow, I did not know that we have missed so much…it's like missing a lifetime of adventures, right Aniki?" Suboshi asked, punching his twin playfully on his shoulder.

"I will pity Yui for the first time…" Amiboshi joked.

"What, you did not know she's so lovable?" Suboshi laughed.

Chichiri spoke, "I'll be taking my leave now, no da."

"Bye, Chichiri! Be sure to come visit us again! Maybe we can form a band or something!" Suboshi said, waving. Chichiri smiled, stepping into his hat. Suboshi had finally lightened up enough to show his true personality, not angry, vengeful one centred on Yui and Amiboshi.

Mitsukake

It was a feeling of emptiness. Like something important was happening and he was not a part of it. Misukake stared at his bun thoughtfully, before taking a slow, hesitant bite.

"Do you feel that we are missing something?" he asked his wife calmly. Shouka looked shocked, setting a bowl of milk for Tama.

"Miss what, a baby? You know, it's too early to know that…you are a doctor yourself. And our Marriage was only two days old."

"Not that!"

"Huh, are you saying that you are cheating on me? Naughty Myojuan! Really, if you did not make me remember, I would've been kept in the dark about my last life! I wonder…why is it I am Shouka again in this life?"

"Maybe Shouka is a really nice name…but we all are referred to by a general name you know. It's like I am Mitsukake and Saihaitei was Hotohori. Never mind, let's finish up and open up the clinic. You are not going to help me again, are you?"

"What would I do, raise the dead again? No way, Myojuan! I would not have you kill me a third time!"

"I am already traumatised enough by the first and second time. I will not do that to you again!" Mitsukake said, determined.

Shouka smiled gently. Holding his hand, she sat down beside him. "We will do what we could not do in the last life. I shall promise you, you will get a baby. And I won't die giving birth either," she said hurriedly, as she saw Mitsukake open his mouth to retort indignantly.

"Let's open the clinic, Shouka. Bring Tama along…"

"Sometimes, I feel that you love that cat a teeny bit more than me…"

"Shouka!"

The Suzaku Seishi

"How in the world did you manage to find all of us last time?" Nuriko asked, looking out to the rising sun, stifling a yawn. "It was all fate and luck! No strategies, no nothing…oh, except for a scroll."

"Hell, you are darned great, Miaka!"

"Our lives are all interwined, no da. We will meet each other sooner our later, no da," Chichiri commented. Tasuki was overjoyed to see Chichiri.

"Now, teleport us to Suzaku village!" he demanded. "Hotohori would be there, as clear as day! Most likely staring at the mirror…"

"Stop teasing Hotohori!" Nuriko scolded.

"Hell, Nuriko, you can stop backing him up, now that you are not lovesick all over him! We all know he's in love with himself! Maybe he masturbated!"

Crash!

"Maybe one or two reminders would shut you up, Tasuki," Nuriko said coolly. She turned to Miaka and saw, to no one's surprise, that she was stuffing herself. "I wonder where the fat all went…she is still fairly in shape…"

"Climb into the hat, no da!" Chichiri requested, holding it out. Koji hugged Tasuki and smirked.

"I will lead the bandits, Tasuki! And I will work hard on getting a girlfriend like this one here!" he pointed at Nuriko, who was rather oblivious due to the fact that Miaka had eaten up her breakfast. Tasuki seethed inwardly.

"Hey, stick to your share!"

"Nuriko… I have a high metabolism!"

"That's no excuse!"

"Is it?"

"Yes, it is!"

"Anyone want to go to Suzaku Village, no da?"

"Me, me, me!" Nuriko exclaimed, jumping straight into the hat. "Couldn't wait!"

"She says that she's given up on Hotohori but from the looks of it, she hadn't really broken free yet…" Miaka said.

"It's those gay habits, no da. Nuriko won't be Nuriko if she could really break free of them, no da."

"Let's go, come on Miaka, damn it! Leave the food alone!"

"But…"

Tasuki pushed Miaka into the hat and jumped in too. Chichiri slowly lowered the hat around himself.

Hotohori

"Why do I feel a sense of foreboding?" he asked himself. He put the fresh flowers on the grave. Hotohori, or Eian, prayed for awhile, knowing very well that his brother would be reincarnated, or would be like Nuriko, a ghost goofing off at his own grave. However, it's the least he could do for his deceased brother. "Brother, what's happening? The misfortune seemed to be heading this way."

Hotohori took out a mirror in his pocket to make sure a hair was not out of place, that he was still stunningly beautiful. However, what he saw in the mirror made him jump back.

"It's a while now, Saihaitei. Or, should I say, Hotohori or Eian now?" a cold voice hissed from under the hood. "Lovely. Let's recall the time you died under my hands. In fact, I insist that you remember me."

Hotohori felt a shiver run up his spine as he slowly recognised the voice. "Nakago, this is a cemetery, not a place to kill."

"What, afraid that you will die here, where corpses lie, like that last time?"

"Do you want to kill me in this life too? If you want to, just say so."

"You don't want your life?" Nakago asked, sounding surprised.

"No, I want it badly. I just want to make sure you are determined to kill me, so that I can prepare myself."

"You got this wrong, Hotohori. I did not come to kill you. In fact, I want your forgiveness. I want to set things right."

"You are…"

"WATCH OUT!"
