Ch. 2 A nosy priestess
Malina awoke the next morning, curled up on the hard cold floor dirt sticking 2 her soft yet sweaty skin. She reached up and undid her braid that looked more like a messy ponytail. She ran her small fingers threw the many purple locks. She tied it back up into a braid as her sleeve slipped down reviling an inch of a red symbol on her forearm.
A girl with brown hair pulled up that look like dumplings, and big friendly brown eyes was ambling around the palace happily skipping her brown pleated skirt lightly ruffling upward into her matching vest and jacket. Miaka Yuuki is a spontaneous and happy young girl, who travels to the National Library with her friend Yui, and has a vision of a beautiful red peacock. The peacock happens to be Suzaku, one of four gods. Miaka follows the peacock to the Important Documents Reference Room, where she discovers and reads the "the book of the four gods" and is sent to the world of ancient China. Here she becomes the priestess Suzaku, and is granted the privilege and responsibility of protecting Konan Country.
Miaka is always cheerful and happy, open-minded and brave, and although she dislikes school, quite intelligent. She likes to behave goofy and easy-going to make others feel comfortable and happy, but also at times can act and talk very mature, so is not to be taken lightly. She likes to be around others, and when she is alone, she uses the spirit in people to spur herself on. She carries courage and a sense of independence also, disliking involving others in her problems. If others do become involved, she takes the responsibility for them on herself.
Miaka is extremely loyal, and has a strong sense of justice. She loves the people around her, and is a solid, strong friend. Despite the fact that Miaka initially trusts people and gives them the benefit of the doubt, if someone does something to hurt her or one of the people she cares about; she does not let it pass. Miaka's strong sense of will and her loyalty and love for her friends often leads her to taking care of things herself, with no help. She has a habit of putting others' welfare before her own.
Miaka has a bad habit of eating large quantities of food. If Miaka has one weakness, it concerns her stomach. She is always eager and willing to stuff herself with anything edible; however, whenever food is involved, Miaka will often lose her wits, as her stomach takes first priority over her mind. Miaka's ability to consume any quantity of food in the shortest amount of time possible is certainly impressive.
Miaka is deeply in love with Tamahome, one of her Suzaku Seven. His protection and loyalty for her stirs the depths of her heart, causing both her and Tamahome to love each other devotedly. It is Miaka's dream and greatest wish to stay with Tamahome; and she often finds that their love for each other is so strong that it sometimes hurts them, but at the same time, it opens their eyes and gives them a gentle, helpful understanding of the heart. Miaka and Tamahome's love is passionate, deep, and moving.
Miaka was poking around in the throne room when a soft green ribbon caught her eye, I wonder who's this is,
A guy (who looked a lot like a women) popped his head into the room. He had long purple hair pulled in a high braid wearing a bright kimono accenting his purple eyes. Nuriko was a Nuriko is a happy and outgoing man; Nuriko is a strong person, with a powerful sense of self and duty. Nuriko would do just about anything for a friend, and the well-being of others is one of his chief concerns. Nuriko likes to be happy, and likes to see the people who are important to him happy. Nuriko is an optimist who almost always sees the bright side of things, and even when he is down, he never gives up. Nuriko is definitely not a quitter and is always ready to keep trying when something doesn't work out.
Nuriko is a strong friend to Miaka and the Seishi, and is thought of as a brother to all of them. Nuriko offers a shoulder to lean on in times of crises, and is always providing care and support. His courage and willingness to accept and deal with all situations makes him an admirable person. He takes things in stride, but this does not mean he is an unfeeling person or cannot be hurt. Nuriko is open to others, honest, and straightforward, allowing him insight into the emotions of his friends, and permits him to help them.
Nuriko carries a sad past with him. As a child, Nuriko had a beloved little sister named Kourin. Although Kourin was a year younger than Nuriko, they were so much alike that people thought they were twins. One day, the young ten-year-old Nuriko was out for a walk, and Kourin raced to catch up with him. As Nuriko turned around, he saw Kourin step out onto the street, just as a team of speeding, runaway horses appeared. Before Nuriko's eyes, Kourin was trampled to death on the street. In order to keep Kourin's spirit with him, Nuriko "went" gay, dressing as his sister, letting himself take her place.
He walked over to Miaka and looked over her shoulder,
"Hey, Miaka what are you looking at?"
Miaka held up the ribbon to Nuriko,
"Is this yours ?"
Nuriko shook his head,
The guars voice lightly stroked both Miaka and Nuriko's ears from outside the room,
"I don't care what they say about that girl she's not normal it has been 48 hours she should be screaming out in pain, but no she's just standing their doing nothing."
"Leave it to me I'll make her scream."
The guards walked off snickering.
