Author's Notes: For the past weeks or so, I finally decided to do an Anime Kingdom's Final Mix probably right after the Anime Kingdom: KoM (Keyblades of Memories) for people who are going to participate in my next fanfic, Anime Kingdom 2. And why I'm doing the mix, you ask?
Because:
- I have screwed up on the few Inuyasha's chapters with mixed up names and that dragon Heartless was there for nothing.
- I need to change that last part to the Cardcaptor's World, and changed the bosses too: Guard Armor to Phantom.
- I definitely need to do a remake of the Naruto's world. I had a lot of mixed-ups, and the Naruto fans can shut up. I'm tired of answer your emails. Naruto is going to be on Cartoon Network this fall anyways, and I am going to watch it.
- And storylines and plots need to be neatly done again.
Sorry, it has been 6 ½ weeks since I updated this story. Hmm…
Anyways, for today's segment is Fushigi Yuugi, requested by one of my favorite and biggest Anime Kingdom reviewer, Xiro. Hey, it's the least I could do to make up for my absentness. This time, I can FINALLY go back to one of the anime that I truly know (thank god for the FY DVDs). So, here is the premiere and a semi-hilarious chapter of Fushigi Yuugi!
Chapter 18: The Mysterious Beginning…
At The Dark Depths of Queen Beryl's Manor…
Reiha was making her entrance after the disappointment of losing the Clow Book in the Card Captor World. She walked very slowly to make up some good excuses. Reiha stopped and saw her friend she betrayed, Miyu, trapped inside a crystal structure. The rest of the 5 princess were trapped in their own crystals as well. She looked up straight and headed slowly to the stairs and came forth to the Queen Beryl, who was sitting in her own throne looking at her.
"Do you have anything to report?" the crimson-haired woman asked her.
Reiha gasped and she got down on her knees, "I'm sorry, my queen. I did not retrieve the book from the World. I would have gotten it my queen, I would have-…."
"Silence!" demanded the evil queen. "You failed your own mission, Reiha! Maybe I should get rid of your friend, who is also one of the princess of heart?"
"But how- how did you know that she was my friend?" Reiha asked.
"Remember Reiha, I am your eye. I can see anything that you sought out."
"Please, Queen Beryl, spare her life."
"That is only for me to decide," Queen Beryl said repulsively, "I decide your fate, remember Reiha?"
Reiha was one discipline away of being destroyed. She had to do something.
"Maybe I can be of some help..." said a dark, tall figure that appeared up the stairs. He stood tall and looked at the Queen with demands. He had long blonde hair and blue eyes, and wears a navy blue coat around his navy blue armor. Upon his face, he was smiling and he was 'handsome to boot.'
Reiha looked up to the man, and so did Queen Beryl, "Oh Nakago, one of my favorite allies, speak of thee now."
"Yes, the enemy is approaching my World. It will be an easy catch; I have everything plan, and plus-" he looks at Reiha with doubt, "Lady Reiha might be of some help as well."
Queen Beryl was impressed by his charm, but she seems to like him more and more. She said with her gallant voice, "You speak with self-promise, Nakago. Okay, Reiha will have her second and final chance."
Reiha was glad to hear it, "Oh thank you, My Queen."
"But if she fails me again, I will decide her fate."
The two bowed down and they were dismissed from Queen Beryl's presence. They went down stairs and silence was parting them. Reiha seems to not talk to Nakago, and Nakago was waiting for her to respond to him. Nakago looked and Reiha with displeasing eyes, "I have saved your life, are you going to thank me?"
Reiha sneered, "Why should I?"
"Cold as usual, aren't you, Reiha?" He asked grinningly.
She looked up at him and moved her eyes narrow, "Don't ask me anything without my permission."
"As promise, Lady Reiha," nodded Nakago.
Ancient China, Downtown City
"Whoa!" the three were falling from the sky…again. Donald, Sora, and Goofy landed on the fruit stand and probably broke it as well.
"Wow that was bananas! Get it? Bananas?" said Goofy, holding a banana in his hand.
Donald sighed in frustration, "Oh shut up, Goofy."
The three walked around and saw a bunch of people crowding the streets.
"This is sure a big place," said Sora.
"Yeah, it's kind of bigger than that last world we just saw," Goofy responded.
"Ahem, don't you know why we are here?" Donald questioned impatiently. "We are on a mission to find the keyholes and save the world."
"In case you haven't notice, we have been here only five minutes ago," Sora ironically said to Donald.
Donald stopped and looked up at Sora with his arms folded and his feet tapping, "Yeah, that seems TOO long, don't you think?"
"Donald, you have one-track mind. You think I can't do better than you can do."
"And that's the truth!"
"What do you mean that's the truth!"
The quarrel has been frightening Goofy again. "Gwarsh, not again!" He closed his eyes and didn't even dare to look of what was going on between Donald and Sora.
"Excuse me, have you seen a handsome man with a character on his forehead?" The two looked at the modest girl standing before them. After all the dragons, the psychotic ninjas, the demons, and all the card-capturing heroes, the guys were glad to see a normal girl standing in front of them again.
Sora shook his head, "Um, no. Why?"
"I'm just curious," she said, and then she wonders off to find him.
Sora stopped her and said, "Maybe I can help you find this man?"
Miaka was astounded that they were going to help her find what she was searching for. She gasps and asked him, "Are you serious?"
"Are you crazy?" Donald said to Sora.
"Yes, maybe I am," nodded Sora.
Donald begins to fold his arms and tap his feet again in belief, "I hope you know what you're doing."
"Don't worry, I do," Sora said promisingly.
"That's cool, thank you!" said the young girl.
The three escorted the girl around Ancient China to find her missing man. Also downtown, Cloud, Aerith, and Cid were on foot through the crowded city with Cloud as their leader.
"I'm starting to hate this place!" Cid yelled out in the crowd.
"What should we do now, Cloud?" Aerith asked.
Actually, Cloud didn't have anything on his mind of what to do now. So he said, "I don't know. I really don't know."
"Excuse me, have you seen a strange girl roaming around here?" said an uninvited voice. The three looked up at the man. His hair was kind of darkish blue, his eyes were set of darkish blue-green, and he was incredibly handsome.
"Nope, haven't seen her," said Cid.
"Very well then." the man said, "I'll keep searching." He flipped his hair bands back and Cloud gasped in surprise. What Cloud saw was a strange, black mark on his forehead.
"What a strange man," said Aerith. Cloud was beginning to leave the two of them as he follows the man with the strange 'oni' on his forehead. "Cloud, where are you going?"
"Somewhere," Cloud said without giving out a specific detail. The two were looking at him; it seems that there was something wrong with Cloud, so they followed him.
Sora looked at Miaka as the four of them ventured off to find the man with the strange character upon his forehead. Miaka and Sora were going introducing each other, Miaka told Sora her secret.
"So, you are from another world?" Sora said to the brown-haired girl.
"Yep, my name is 'Miaka'," responded the brown-haired girl, "I was with my best friend, until this book just opened and we got separated in this world."
Goofy asked her, "So this is really a book instead of a world?"
"I really don't know. It seems too real to me, and all I ever wanted was to go home and eat."
Sora doubted in his voice, "Eat?"
"Yeah, I wanted a cheeseburger in this mess, and there was a bunch of men that attacked me, but this guy, he saved me."
"Who?"
"I don't know yet, he had this strange mark on his forehead, but he ran away. He said he didn't like poor people, and I wanted to give him money for his kindly deeds. And I also-" Miaka broke off her sentence, "-I also want to know where my best friend, Yui is?"
"That's nice," Donald said ironically.
"Don't worry, we'll help you of what you are searching for," he introduced, "By the way, my name is Sora."
"Nice to meet you, Sora," said Miaka.
The two of them shook hands and smiled at each other. Suddenly, a few minutes later, the Shadow-type Heartless appeared around them in anticipation.
Sora knocked out one of the Shadows with his Keyblade, Heart of Jutsu. He demanded to her, "Miaka, run!"
"No, just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I have to run from creeps like that!" Miaka said, striking in her martial arts pose.
Sora spins his Heart of Jutsu around like a baton. Donald and Goofy, they got out their weapons to protect themselves. The four of them were ready to fight, and Miaka started the fight out with all the kicking and punching like all moves in wresting. To the boys' surprise, she beat the crap out of the Shadows pretty bad.
"So much for battling the Heartless," Sora sweat dropped.
Miaka wiped her hands together, and all she did was make the Heartless flee away. "There, are you guys are alright?"
"Yeah, we're okay," said Sora. He put his hands around his head, "I never thought you had any strength in you, Miaka."
"You better believe it," said Miaka.
The four walked together, and Sora and Donald were just amplified by what happened. It was not about Miaka's appearance in this world, but the Heartless has come to this world as well. "The Heartless seems to be in this world as well," said Sora with a serious look on his face.
Donald looked at Sora with a hoisting tone, "We have to find the keyhole quick!"
"Is this a key weapon?" Miaka asked, wielding Sora's weapon that she secretly swiped from his hand.
"Wha-? Give it back!" Sora was trying to get the Keyblade from Miaka. At that moment, the keyblade flew out Miaka's hands and fling from the back of her. The keyblade was caught by a man with a glowing figure on his head. It seemed to be what Miaka was searching for all long. Although Miaka was thinking of how handsome he was, she still thought that he has the one who kidnapped her best friend, Yui.
The city went silent as the two finally met.
Back at the Dark Lair; Nakago's Room
The Shadows that attacked Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Miaka back there was essentially spy Heartless. They give out information about their enemies whereabouts and how. Nakago look at them, and seemingly understand what the Heartless was trying to say:
"Yes, the enemies are here and they are at the city," Nakago said. "Okay, attack at once." The Heartless obeyed his commands and faded onto the air.
"You would use those useless beings to fight them," questioned Reiha, "Don't be such a halfwit." With the snap of her finger, Reiha release an ice form of Heartless from her own spell. "You just sit and chill while I take care of this."
"You only have one life to live, my dear," Nakago said, "So I suggest you follow me or else you could get hurt."
"STOP GIVING ME ORDERS, I AM NOT YOUR SLAVE!" Reiha said with thrust of anger. It was so powerful that the crystal rose up surrounding Nakago.
Nakago close his eyes and chuckled at Reiha, "You're seriously in doubt, and I know you are trying to save your dear friend, Miyu. But I will promise you with this: With me or without me, we both know that the end is near…"
"Your stupidity is talking in riddles, how touching?" Reiha said with deep sarcasm. She walked away from Nakago, deciding she would rather be on her own than be with her ruthless teammate. Nakago didn't have anything left to say for Reiha because he knows that he was just playing with her emotions. As his energy grew even stronger, the more of the 'Invisible Heartless' appeared in numbers. Nakago was just as evil as Reiha will ever be…
Footnotes:
1. 'Nakago'- one of the Senshi of Seiyuu and is probably one of the strongest beings that Queen Beryl has ever seen. Nakago lost his parents to Koutou's forces since childhood, and he hated the Koutou's forces ever since. His has an enigma of why he joined Queen Beryl alliance in the first place. He is searching for something powerful but what is it? Played as an empty-hearted villain in 'Fushigi Yuugi' (1995).
2. 'Handsome to boot'- Remember this phrase: "He's strong, he's kind, he's always there for you, and he's handsome to boot. He's perfect, perfect, perfectly infuriating! He drives me crazy! - 'Hades' from Kingdom Hearts.
3. It seems that Queen Beryl has a fatal crush for Nakago.
4. 'Miaka'- The strong-willed and desperately hungry heroine from Tokyo. Miaka got transported inside the book which brought her to this Ancient city in China. Miaka is searching for her best friend, who fell inside with her, and the man with a character on his forehead, who she thinks that stole her best friend. If you are nice to her, then she is nice to you. Miaka played as 'Suzaku no Miko' from 'Fushigi Yuugi' (1995).
5. 'Oni' means 'orge' in Japanese.
6. Nakago is one, evil being, isn't he? Even though, he doesn't appear that much throughout the series.
7. The whole Fushigi Yuugi saga seems to be the beginning, does it? That is why it was called, 'The Mysterious Beginning…'
