This is the tale of the fifth priestess to summon a god in the world of Fushigi Yuugi. But wait fifth? Aren't there only FOUR gods? Sure there may only appear to be four gods in the universe of the four gods, but there is a fifth hidden one. A being with powers so divine they surpass Suzaku, Seriyuu, Byakko, and Genbu. This is the goddess Guan-yin...
(A/N) Hey everyone this fanfic is like almost all me ya know, all my characters, just Yuu Watase's main idea kinda thing. I seriously do want this fic to be longer than 6 chapters (my previous record) and I don't want it to have just one theme. Not a comedy. Not a romance. Not an adventure. Not a drama. But a mix of everything. Yes I am aspiring to be like the great manga writer Yuu Watase.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fushigi Yuugi (unfortunately) it all belongs to the beloved and wonderful role model of mine, Yuu Watase.
My name is Mine Oimikado. I am the annoited priestess of Guan-yin, the supposed savior of the world.
Before all that however, I was an average sixteen year old, second year high school student, girl living in Tokyo Japan. Okay well I wasn't really normal, but I had a pretty normal life. But back then I thought I had the most boring life ever, boy was I sure wrong as hell.
Mine Oimikado was sitting at lunch with her friends Kei and Ami.
"You guys overdramatize, so what the test was hard, we probably all failed, there are more important things in life than grades you realize."
Kei sighed and said depressingly "Sometimes I wonder if the things you say are out of wisdom or stupidity."
"I'm guessing it's the latter of the two." Ami said eating up the rest of her sushi.
Mine smiled as drank the last of her soda "You know, I know exactly what will make you two feel better. A trip to the book store, I mean, we all love reading."
"Yeah," said Ami "except we all read totally different kinds of stuff."
The girls thought about how Kei enjoyed dramatic long novels, Ami liked short mushy love stories, and Rinako was a manga freak.
"Well..." Mine said "how about we go to the library and have the challenge of trying to find a book we'd all like."
"I don't know..." said Kei "you wont be able to find one, plus I don't know whether my parents want me home right after school or not..."
"After school?" Mine echoed "I meant go NOW..."
"Now?" Ami and Kei said shocked together.
"Yeah I mean my next class is-" Mine began.
"No!" Kei said "I'm not ditching."
"None of us are." Ami added.
"Okay..." Mine said.
"...wha-?" Ami was startled "just like that you gave up? I mean, you normally would complain about how much you want to go..."
"Oh I'm going." Mine said standing up "But are you sure you don't want to come with me?"
"No b-b-buh-but..." Kei started muttering.
Mine got up and said "Okay I'll see you tommarow then. Bye." And she walked off.
"Do you believe that?" Kei said.
"Well," Ami breathed deeply "I think...that there are problems going on with her that we don't know about. And I guess rebellion has always been her way of fixing things her own way."
"Yeah I guess" Kei said "when her best friend died two years ago she dyed her hair blonde."
"And last year when she didn't get into the high school she wanted to go to she dyed the tips of her blonde hair black."
"There's somthing every year" Ami said "we'll find out what it is sooner or later."
When Mine had reached the library she was already thinking about what Ami and Kei we're discussing.
I can't believe I ditched. I guess its cuz I'm so distracted lately. Ever since my brother got really sick my minds been pretty distant. But even I don't know where it's been.
As her thoughts wandered she wandered too. Right into an 'employee's only door'. "Ow." she whispered to herself, remembering she was in a library. Realizing she opened the door she reached to close it when somthing had caught her attention.
It was a box in behind the door that said "Not to be opened ever again. Warning: This book is dangerous". Mine giggled at the thought of a book being dangerous. She looked around to make sure nobody was watching then she carefully slipped into the room, closed the door, and opened the box.
"The universe of the four gods..." she read aloud. She skimmed through the begining "Wishes...my wishes will be granted? Oh how I wish-" she started to say but didn't get to finish because a bright light had flashed and she disappeared out of the room.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Mine screamed as the light consumed her. When she opened her eyes she was in complete shock. Surrounding her was a ton of people staring at her. W-where am I? she thought. I guess I'm in some little town...she thought gazing at her surroundings but why is everyone dressed so...wierd.
"Mommy" Mine could hear a little boy in the background yelling "mommy, did the priestess of Suzaku come back to save us again?" Priestess? Mine thought. "No," Mine could hear the childs mother "that was almost a hundred years ago, dear...but she did come...through the prophesisd light..."
Everyone began gawking silently at Mine. "Uh eheheh um does anyone know where I am?" Mine called out to anyone who could help her.
Just then some guards approached her. "Priestess, we will escort you to the emperor immediately."
"I'm not a priestess," Mine protested "I...don't even know where I am."
"You are in Hong-nan, priestess, don't you remember your adventure here before?"
Being completely confused Mine didn't even know quite what to say.
When she was finally brought before the young emperor (yes this is Hotohori's great grandson) she could finally talk. "Your highness" she said bowing "I'm sorry for the mistake about them thinking I'm a priestess you all seem to know about because you see-"
"You aren't her." the emperor sighed.
"No...I'm not, sorry to have disappointed you."
"It's alright" he said "I can tell you're not her, the priestess my great grandfather knew would've never forgotten Hong-nan. Besides, she was always with her lover Tamahome. Or Taka Sukunami, as he was named when he was reborn into her world."
"Sukunami..." Mine repeated the name quietly "I've heard that name before..."
"However," the emperor looked at Mine with a slight smile "you are obviously from the priestess's world and you are our guest, so we shall treat you well while you are here."
Mine smiled and said "Thank you emperor...uh.."
"Sying," he said "and what's your name?" he asked.
"Mine." she said blushing a little, though she didn't know why.
(A/N) Okay whenever there are new characters introduced (important ones anyway) I'm going to add them to the glossary, which will tell a little about them.
Mine - pronounced mEE-nAy - an out-going, fun-loving, risk-taker, who will do anything as long as she thinks it's right - her name means a resolute protector, she got this name because she will do anything to protect her friends, family, and those she loves
Ami - pronounced Ah-mee - a boy-obsessed perfectionist - her name means friend, she got this name because she is a good friend
Kei - pronounced kay - also a perfectionist, but unlike Ami, boys aren't exactly her forte - her name means reverence, she got this name because she never speaks when not spoken to
Sying - pronounced sying - like his ancestor you all know, he is strong willed, however unlike Hotohori, he is less contained, he is more open and he also is less mature, and this is not because he is only seventeen - his name means star, I can't tell you why he has this name yet but you'll see
