Disclaimer: I do not own Fushigi Yugi in any way, shape, or form. All credit goes to Yu Watase. I only came up with the altered storyline, Jade Stevens, and Tara Robinson. Okay, this is my first story, so please R&R!!!
Chapter 1: Mysterious World
"Jade! Wait up!" A dark-haired girl came hurtling out of nowhere into Jade Stevens. Jade picked herself up and scowled. "Tara, what is it? You have to be more careful!" Tara smiled at her best friend, her dark eyes glittering. "Jade, I got the part in the play! Can you believe it?" Jade flicked her long reddish-brown ponytail back over her shoulder. "That's great, Tara! Next time, just watch your speed when you come to tell me!" Laughing, Tara picked up her books. Selecting one, Jade read the title. "Universe Of The Four Gods? Is this another fairy-tale novel with dragons and magic crap?" Tara shrugged. "I didn't read it yet. Do you want to borrow it?" Jade normally would have refused, but something about this book interested her. "I guess...let's go to your house to study for our French test!"
Tara and Jade headed to Tara's apartment. While Tara got snacks, Jade flipped to the first page of the book."Hmmm...let's see...This is the story of a girl who made her dreams come true, after she came to possess the seven stars of Suzaku and many powers were bestowed upon her. The story itself is a spell: the one who reads it through will be given the powers and granted a wish, just like the girl in the story. Because the story begins and becomes real the moment the first page is turned. Okay then..." Tara returned with a plate of cookies. "Hey Tara, come read this! It says something about a spell." Tara came over and read over her shoulder. "Hmmmm... What's the next page say?" Jade flipped the page. Suddenly, a red light enveloped them and they disappeared.
****************
Jade woke up, her head pounding. "Tara? Where are you?" Instead of finding Tara's bedroom, she was in a barren wasteland. Tara lay beside her. With a groan, she pushed herself up and tried to revive her friend. "Tara? Please wake up, Tara!" Tara's eyes slowly opened."What happened? Why are we here?" Tara sat up looking around wildly. Jade gulped. "I think we're dreaming...does this hurt?" She elbow-bashed Tara. "OWW! That hurt! We can't be dreaming. Wait a second. Didn't that book say something about turning the page and activating a spell? Do you think the book brought us here?" Jade rolled her eyes. "How could a book teleport us? There's no such thing as magic." Tara was about to answer when a screm filled the air. Jade was instantly running in the direction it came from. Tara quickly followed. They suddenly saw two girls being attacked by men. The girls wore school uniforms similar to theirs, except they were brown and white, instead of black and orange. Running forward, Jade tackled the nearest man. Tara watched as her best friend punched out at the mob, giving a very good fight. Jade soon began to tire, and the men grabbed her once she faltered. Beating her with clubs, Jade was almost unconcious when a shout was heard and the men backed off. Jade watched as a man with blueish-black hair beat the mobmen to a pulp. When they had run off, the man helped Jade up. "I watched you battle. You're pretty good! What's up with your weird clothes?" Jade noticed that the man was very good looking. She blushed as she said "I'm not from here. My friend and I fell into a book, and we somehow got here..." The two girls that had been attacked stepped forward. "You fell into a book? So did we!" said the brown-haired girl. Jade turned. "You did? What's your name?" "I'm Miaka Yuki, and this is my best friend, Yui Hongo." Miaka pointed to the blonde. "I'm Jade Stevens." Jade extended her hand. Miaka shook it, giving a delighted smile. "Don't forget me, Jade!" Tara reminded her. "Oh yeah, that's my best friend Tara Robinson." The man stood, looking confused. "Are you going to pay me or not?!?" he yelled. Jade turned red. "You greedy pig! Demanding money like that! You're not getting a damn cent from us, so get lost!" The man, furious, ran off. Jade glared at the receeding figure."Jerk." Jade muttered under her breath. Turning to the others, she smiled. Just as she was about to speak, a red light enveloped them. Jade felt herself floating upward. Just as she was being sucked into the sky, the light faded. She fell down onto the ground. Miaka fell on top of her. The others had disappeared. "Tara?" Turning to Miaka, she said "Miaka! Whare are Tara and Yui?" Miaka looked around wildly. "I don't know! We have to look for them!" Jade pointed to the nearby forest edge. "Maybe they're in there." she suggested. She entered, followed closely by Miaka.
****************
"Jade?" Tara looked around wildly. She was back in her room, but where was Jade? She picked up the book. Opening it to the second page, she read "The girls from the foriegn world searched the Yuurika forest desprately for their friends. What they didn't know was that they were steadily approaching the capital. Wow, Jade's still in the book!" Tara continued reading. "They stumbled upon a man with an ogre symbol on his forehead, who had saved them earlier."
***************
Miaka stumbled into Jade. Picking herself up, Jade rolled her eyes. "First Tara, then Miaka..." Miaka's eyes widened. "I think we went the wrong way." she wimpered. Jade scanned the leafy jungle. Suddenly, she noticed a shape looming out of nowhere. "Who...who are you?" Jade asked. The figure stopped, and she realized that it was the boy who had just saved them. Looking surprised, the boy stared at them. As reconization hit him, he scowled. "Oh, it's the poor girls again. Where's your friends?" Jade stood, thunderstruck. She was about to make another comment when Miaka stepped forward. " We can't find them. Have you seen them?" The boy shook his head. "Nope." Miaka slowly started to cry. "Yui, where are you?!?" Jade rolled her eyes. "We'll find them, don't worry." The man interrupted. "Excuse me, but do you need my help or not?!?" Miaka grinned and started pumping his arm. "Oh thankyouthankyouthankyou sir!" The boy pulled his arm from her. "You can call me Tamahome. The best place to look for your friends is at the capital. I'll lead you there, but then you're on your own." Jade smiled. "Thank you, Tamahome." She had noticed the odd symbol on his forehead. Something in her brain told her it was the symbol for "ogre". She decided not to question it, in case it was a touchy subject. Tamahome led them through the forest to the edge of a city. Jade stood in awe. "This is the capital? Where are we anyway?" Tamahome snorted with laughter. "We're in Konan, duh." Jade glared at him. Tamahome, still laughing, took them into the city. There was a huge procession of animals and people. "A parade!" Miaka squealed. Tamahome pointed to the palaquien being carried by a dozen men. "That's the emporer. That guy is so lucky! He has rooms full of money! What I would give for even just one of his jewels..." Miaka ran off to the palaquien. "Miaka! What the hell are you doing?!?" Jade yelled after her. "I'm getting one of the jewels for Tamahome!" Miaka answered. She approached the curtained emporer. "Excuse me, your Highness, but I was wondering if I could have just one of your jewels. It doesn't have to be big..." The gaurds stared in surprise. "Men! Grab her at once!" the emporer commanded. Tamahome ran to Miaka and started to tackle the men. Jade ran after him and grabbed Miaka's hand. "We have to get out of here! Come on!" Just as Jade was about to pull her away, a red light engulfed them. Jade felt herself floating again. She watched as the parade below grew smaller as she went into the sky. Everything went black.Then, Jade saw Tara reading The Universe Of The Four Gods. Jade tried to reach her. "Tara!!!" Tara didn't respond. Jade was puzzled. "Tara can't hear me?" she wondered aloud. She felt herself being sucked backwards, away from her best friend. Everything turned black again. She suddenly found herself on the ground next to Tamahome, who was holding Miaka with an odd expression on his face. The emporer sounded surprised as he ordered "Bring them back to the palace at once!" The gaurds dragged them off, Jade kicking and biting the whole way. When they reached the palace, they were thrown into a cell. Miaka seemed unconcious, and Tamahome rolled his eyes as he sat on the floor, leaning his back on the wall. He glanced at Miaka. "That baka! No one approaches the emporer like that!" Jade sighed. "How do we get out of this, Tamahome?" He shrugged. Miaka woke, sobbing. "I wanna go home!" A nearby gaurd rapped his spear on the bars. "Shut up in there!" Miaka pulled out a piece of gum and started to chew. Jade smiled. "Hey Miaka, gimmie a piece please!" Tamahome stared at the gum delightedly. "This would get me a lot of money! Is this from your world?!?" Jade took the piece Miaka offered and popped it in her mouth. "Yup." The gaurd watched in horror. "Wh...what is that?!?" Jade ginned mischevously and started to blow a bubble. "Aaaah! Keep it away from me!" Suddenly, the bubble popped. The guard fainted dead away. His keys landed in the cell. "Yes! Thank you Jade!" Tamahome picked up the keys. He looked over at Jade and saw that she was covered with gum. "What happened to you?!?" Jade wiped off the gum and rolled her eyes. Tamahome opened the door and they slipped out. Tamahome led them through corridors silently, until they stumbled into a room where a large golden statue of a pheonix. Jade jumped back in surprise. "What the hell?!?"
So, what do you think? I know, you're probably wondering where Tasuki comes in. All in good time, dear people. Please review my story. I will take compliments and complaints so I can improve. Arigato!
