Title: One Thing Led To Another (5?)
Author: Lady Shinimegami
Pairings: Well let's see if I can list them all off. Tasuki/Nuriko (but that's only from the drunken frenzy), Tasuki/Kouji, Chichiri/Tasuki, Nuriko/Hotohori and I suppose it could go without mentioning, but Tamahome/Miaka (although I try to avoid them and their fish love…)
Warnings: Foul language (but of course, this is me after all), violence, TWT, I only hint at lemon.
Disclaimers: Sigh Ok, I admit it; I don't technically own Tasuki (but I still have him stashed away in my basement)… or the rest of these people.
Summary: Tasuki kinda loses it.
Troubled Little Mind
Nuriko put his hand on Tasuki's shoulder. He forgave him, for now. Whatever Tasuki was going through, it had to be hard if he just lost it all of the sudden. Of course, the second this was all over he'd have to beat Tasuki up for making his mouth bleed like that, all over his favourite shirt too.

All the Suzaku Seishi, minus Hotohori and Tasuki, Miaka wasn't there either, sat down at a table in one of the conference rooms. Tasuki was out of it for now, Hotohori was still locked away in his room and nobody had the heart the wake up Miaka this early in the morning. The five of them that sat there all knew all about what Tasuki did last night, and were all fairly speechless, but all determined to help him.
"He's not sick, as far as I can tell," Mitsukake informed them all, nobody knew if that was a good thing or not.
"Maybe he's home sick?" Chiriko piped up.
"You think he should go back and spend some time with the bandits no da?" Chichiri asked, now wearing his mask again.
"Might help…"
"Do you think it has a lot to do with… well, me?" Nuriko asked rather silently.
"Don't think that, it had to be something from before hand." Tamahome reassured him.
"Maybe him sleeping with you set something off inside of him," Chichiri added, not to completely dismiss what Nuriko said, and to back up Tamahome at the same time, of course, at the mention of 'sex', Chiriko suddenly looked a lot paler.
"He isn't sick physically, so it has to be a mental scar," Mitsukake suggested.
"He was going on about Kouji-San," Chichiri said remembering.
"Same when he was drunk," Nuriko said deciding it wouldn't hurt to tell anyone.
"You think he misses Kouji-San?" Tamahome asked.
"Probably," Nuriko and Chichiri said at the same time.
"So why attack you two last night?"
The room went silent; nobody could really come up with an answer for that one. In speculation one could say Tasuki was just so sad or lonely that he just snapped and found the first opportunity he could to get some attention, or to just vent on someone living, someone who could fight back. But that didn't sound right.
"I think we should ask Hotohori-Sama's permission to leave and one of us take Tas'ki-San back to the bandits," Chiriko suggested having recovered from the 'sex' talk. "Just for a little while… until he's needed back here again."
"Who?" Tamahome asked looking around at the room.
Nuriko looked over at Chichiri. "I think you should."
"Me?" Chichiri asked, shocked and more than willing to spend some time alone with the redhead.
"Yeah, who better to not only keep Tas'ki-Kun out of trouble and at the same time protect him on your way?" Nuriko continued.
"Protect Tas'ki-Kun?" Chichiri asked, almost finding the idea ridiculous.
"He's not exactly all there…" Tamahome pointed out.
"You don't have to if you don't want to, I'm sure Tamahome-Kun would love to-"
"No… I'll do it," Chichiri said and got up from the table. "Now to ask Hotohori-Sama if we can leave.
(I have officially shocked myself. I was thinking "oh great, the ending will come soon" and then I throw this at myself. Wanna know my problem? My mind saw that I couldn't end it yet, it was too soon, too un-developed, their love I mean. What better way to develop it if they're alone together for a little while? Isn't it funny how I have almost no control over my own writing? By the by, I'm really sorry this took me so long to write, but I have a fairly good excuse. I was trying to catch up on my other Fics, and I've now watched the entire FY series, and after a lot of analyzing I think I know their characters a lot better. I swear, I am Tasuki… only real… and a girl… Anyhoo, I'm actually hoping this makes 10 chapters; I have a couple cute scenes already planned out. By the by, I will official state that this is a TWT (Timeline? What timeline?) and I guess, no, it is an A/U figure that one out for yourselves. If you want the next chapter soon, GIVE ME LONG REVIEWS BY THE TONS! Now it's time to say, Sayonara)
Edit: Teh original ending, the original set-up for the second half of the story that will never be. I think that scene was probably just an excuse to write in Chiriko, and Hotohori was probably gonna be in the beginning of chapter 6. I'm sorry I never finished this. Really, I am, but even now I don't know what the hell do to with this story. So I shall let it stand like it is, and hopefully you people will at least be entertained.
