Chapter 3: The new legend

"What? Uh nothing!" Sying said. "I was just helping her with her kimono...well my kimono...that she's wearing..."

"Who's the old floating lady thing." Mine said pointing at the emperor of the heavens (Tai-yi-jun).

"That's the emperor of the heavens I think!" Sying whispered in her ear.

"You're worse than Miaka, the priestess of Suzaku, great now I've got another disrespectful priestess to take care of."

"What? I'm not a priestess-" Mine started.

"Yes..." Mine was cut off "you ARE."

"But didn't the other gods all get summoned?" Sying asked.

"Yes," said the old lady "but there is a being more divine than Suzaku or any more of the four gods. The goddess Guan-yin. Unfortunately when the universe of the four gods was originally written, the part about her was cut off."

"What was this part about?" Mine asked with interest.

"It said that after all four gods had been summoned there would be a time of great problems and the final priestess would appear, the priestess of Guan-yin. She would come and save, not just the north, south, east, or west, but all of them, from destruction."

"Am...I...that priestess?" Mine stuttered.

Tai-Yi-Jun smiled her scary smile "Yes."

"Will she have to search for celestial warriors?" Sying quickly asked.

"Yes, she will have to search for four, one from north, south, east, and west, but she already has found one. You." and with that she disappeared.

"Y-you're a celestial warrior?" Mine asked Sying in shock.

"I-I didn't know I was, I mean...I never had a character on my body like the warriors are supposed to have."

"Maybe it's there now..." Mine said.

Sying looked at himself, then took his shirt off to discover a character on his body. It read fire.

"So your celestial warrior name is Huo..." Mine said drifting off.

"Mine." Sying said "Go back to your room you need...sl...sleep." Sying said as he fell down and went to sleep.

Mine looked at him as he lie on the ground. She smiled. He looks so sweet and innocent when he sleeps. She picked him up (this was not an easy task) and put him on his bed.

She was about to walk out of the room when she heard a maid (or whoever) walking around outside the room.

"Oh crap!" she said "I never tied this kimono..."

She heard two people outside the room. "I guess we're supposed to guard the emperor because that girl."

"Yeah," said the other one "the emperor trusts her too much."

Great, Mine thought I can't get out of here.

About a half hour later Sying woke up again only to see Mine staring at the door.

"Mine?" he said "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep, it's just this day is pretty overwhelming you know."

"Yeah." she said "Well I can't get out of the room 'cuz you're guards are there making sure I can't get in."

"Oh..." Sying said. "Um here let me fix your kimono..." he said uncomfortably because she was still half-way dressed.

"There." he said. "So..."

"So..." Mine echoed. "What do we do now?"

"I'll sleep on the floor and you may sleep on my bed. I'll wake you up as soon as the guards are gone and you can go back to your room."

"No." protested Mine "I'LL sleep on the floor."

"Nonesense." he argued back.

"But you're the emperor, you can't sleep on the floor."

"Well you're the priestess of Guan-yin."

"Then neither of us will sleep on the floor."

"Are you suggesting we sleep in the same bed?"

"What? NO! Of course not! Not that...I would mind but...NO! I mean no! Of course not."

"It's alright, theres nothing wrong with it as long as I behave myself. Haha. Just kidding, but it's alright here you can sleep on that side."

Mine's heart was pounding. Hard. She was so nervous over...well nothing really.

Despite the fact that she was scared she drifted off to sleep quickly.

Sying however was still awake.

He admired Mine. There was somthing about her. Somthing different than any other girl he'd ever met.

Just then Mine rolled over into his arms. Not knowing quite what to do he just laid there. He couldn't push her away, but he couldn't embrace her, so he just laid there with his thoughts wandering til he fell asleep as well.

The two awoke to a servant asking. "Has his majesty found a wife?"

"Huh?" Sying said dazed.

"His majesty slept with this girl. She must be your new empress correct? Or did she force herself upon you?"

Quickly getting up Mine said "Yes, yes I am his new empress."

The servant ran off anouncing it to the whole palace.

"Why...did you say that?" Sying asked.

"I didn't want to ruin your reputation and that was the only acceptable excuse. You can dump me later."

"What if I don't want to dump you?" He said slyly. Mine's heart began pounding loudly again. She could feel her face getting really warm. "It's okay. I'm kidding, I know you can't become my empress...even if I did want you too..."

"Nonesense!" Mine quickly said "I could..." she said realizing she was being too obvious "but I must fall in love with you first."

Sying smiled. "Alright. And maybe I'll fall for you."

Mine relaxed a little. "So Huo are you ready to search for the other three celestial warriors?"

"To Qu-dong!" Sying replied.

(A/N) yeah yeah dumb I know I'm dumb, anyway...no new characters yet, they'll come...
