Ayashi No Ceres Entering the World of Angels and Hell
4. We Have Another Problem
*****
Aya felt warm and cozy.
She opened her eyes slowly and closed them again quickly. Sun was pouring into the room like mad. Aya rubbed her eyes and yawned.
'What a dream,' she thought to herself as she got out of bed. 'But it felt so real..'
"Aki?" Aya called as she stretched tiredly.
Aya heard the door creak. She turned to greet her brother as usual, but it wasn't Aki.
"Your awake," the young man said thoughtfully as he entered the room.
Aya backed away cautiously.
"Who.who are you?" she sputtered as he slumped into a table stool near her.
The young man smiled.
Aya blushed. He was quite handsome.
His hair was tied up and his eyes were gleaming. But he was wearing such strange clothing. It was older than her grandfather's generation.
Before the boy could answer her first question, Aya looked around and asked alarmingly.
"Where am I? Where's Aki?"
The boy gave her a puzzled look.
"Aki? Who's he?" he gave a sly grin, "is he your boyfriend or something?"
Aya gave him a crossed look.
"He's my twin brother. We were fishing and then..and then..." Aya blinked. She couldn't remember what happened.
The boy placed his chin onto his knuckles.
"Your twin brother huh? You probably ended up her just like Miaka..we're in Mikinto right now, Hotohori and Chichiri is talking to the mayor right now about the damages."
Aya looked up at him giving him the same puzzled look.
"Damages? Mikinto? Miaka? What are you talking about? I don't understand."
The boy sighed and rubbed his head.
"The damages done by a horse gone wild. We were-err.. kinda responsible. Mikinto's a city. It's quite famous for it's hot springs, but I don't suggest going in them right now, you'll be cooked. Geez, don't go out often do you?"
Aya sat back down on the bed again. She still didn't get what he was saying.
"There was this boy..I was in the horse incident, wasn't I?" Aya asked staring at him right in the eye.
The boy gave a hearty laugh.
"Almost got yourself killed too. Didn't have this kind of stuff since that incident with Yui."
"Yui?"
The boy shook his head.
"Nothing. You should get some rest. I'll bring dinner up in an hour."
Aya stared at him as he got up from the stool.
"Dinner? Isn't it morning?"
He smiled warily.
"Weather's getting hectic. The sun won't set for hours nowadays."
"Oh."
The boy tucked Aya into bed and kissed her forehead.
"Get some rest okay?"
Aya blushed. She nodded quickly and hid her cheeks behind the covers.
The boy left the room quietly and joined the other Suzaku senshi next-door.
-----
Chichiri entered the room sighing heavily as Hotohori poured tea for everyone.
Tasuki raised his head from his arms and looked at Chichiri sleepily.
"Are we cleared or busted?" he asked him gloomily as he picked up a teacup full of hot tea.
Chichiri smiled.
"Clear no da! But we have to pay for damages no da!"
Chichiri then stared at Hotohori thoughtfully.
"Gomen-ne Hotohori-san."
Hotohori smiled as he sat down on a stool.
"It's fine Chichiri. I don't mind."
Tasuki gave them a painful smirk.
"Old fool's too rich to know what to do with his money."
Tamahome just entered the room but started laughing evilly.
"You can give it all to me! Bwahahaha!"
Nuriko sighed tiredly on his bed. "Oh please Tamahome! Honestly, give you all his money. That's the stupidest thing I've heard from you."
Tamahome glared at Nuriko and said sarcastically, "Well sorry Mr. Beauty Queen."
Nuriko ignored Tamahome's remark and said absentmindedly, "How's the girl?"
Tamahome slumped into a chair next to Nuriko.
"She's okay," he replied as he blew on his tea thoughtfully, "wants to see her twin brother though. She can't seem to remember how she got here."
Nuriko rested his head on the bed pillow.
"Miaka?" he called with his eyes closed, "do you think she got in like you?"
Miaka leaned on the wall beside the window. She looked at Nuriko's side.
"But isn't there only one Universe of the Four Gods? My brother has it right now.." Miaka trailed off with her words and fell silent.
"She can't be a miko though," pointed out Chiriko as he sipped his tea slowly, "the four mikos have already been chosen."
"Your right.." Hotohori said softly. His tea was left untouched.
"Then why is she here?"
Tasuki poured himself more tea. They were all silent except for the sipping from their mouths.
Nuriko sighed.
"Is she..gonna..tag along?" Nuriko asked as he moved his bangs from his eyes.
Chichiri shook his head in confusion.
"No clue."
Nuriko smiled absentmindedly.
"Then we'll let her decide."
-----
Aya opened her eyes half way.
She couldn't sleep. The room was too bright and it was burning to the point where you could cook eggs on rocks.
Aya got out of bed and looked around the room. The chair in which the young man was sitting in was not tucked. Aya blushed again and felt her forehead. The lips from the boy's kiss still lingered on her forehead.
Aya shook her head from embarrassment and sat on a stool.
"Maybe I should go see him. I have nothing else to do," Aya said out loud, clapping her hands together.
She opened her door slowly and peaked outside.
The hallway was very narrow, but polished to a satisfactory state. Doorways lined the walls leading to unknown rooms.
Aya stepped out of her room uneasily.
Was this the boy's house? Aya had never seen a house like this before in the city.
'Maybe I should call Aki to tell him where I am,' she thought to herself as she walked down the stairs ever so quietly.
As she looked around the strangely decorated building, a cleaning lady passed by Aya.
"Um, excuse me?" asked Aya to the lady, as she was about to climb up the flight of stairs.
The lady turned around irritated and gave Aya a flat smile.
"Yes Miss?" she asked in a hurried tone.
"Can you direct me to the telephone?" Aya asked quietly, staring at the floor uneasily.
The lady looked at her doubtfully and placed her right hand on her hip.
"The 'what phone'?"
Aya looked at the lady in confusion. Surely everyone knew what a telephone was. Maybe she heard her all wrong.
"Telephone," repeated Aya slowly just in case she was speaking too fast.
The lady gave her an annoyed expression.
"Miss, I think you've heard wrong."
And with that, the lady walked away from her up the flight of stairs.
Aya stood there dumbstruck, but collected herself. She finally decided to find the phone herself.
-----
"Ow!"
Mitsukake shook his head.
"Nuriko-san, if you keep on moving like that I might break you back," he said calmly as he poured foul smelling liquid onto his hand and rubbing it onto Nuriko's bare back.
Nuriko glared at him distastefully.
"Well sorry if it hurts like hell!" he grunted as he lay his head back onto his arms.
Tasuki scratched his head.
"You know Nuriko..I could just give you my special backbone relief technique-"
"No!" Nuriko interrupted, waving his hand at Tasuki. "It hurts more than Mitsukake's rubbing! For get it!"
Tasuki shrugged. "Suit yourself, but it's a whole lot quicker."
Chichiri sighed.
"I don't know how you get yourself into these things Nuriko-kun.."
Hotohori looked up from his tea.
"Shouldn't someone check onto girl? It has been awhile," he suggested gulping down his tea slowly trying to savour each drop.
Chiriko looked up from his book and smiled.
"I agree with Hotohori-san," he said cheerfully as he looked at the others, "one of us should go."
Chichiri got up from his seat and headed for the door.
"I'll go no da!"
"Arigato Chichiri-san!" Chiriko called as Chichiri left the room.
Chichiri walked towards Aya's room but soon stopped in his tracks. The door was opened. He stared at the opened door for a second then walked towards it again looking perfectly calm.
"Miss?" Chichiri called as he entered the room.
No one was there.
"Oh my," Chichiri said wearily as he looked around the room and realized she had left.
Chichiri put his hand on his head.
"Not another problem!"
