"Who's there? Who are you?" I asked weakly.
"My name is Genai Saigusa." He paused cupping my cheek in his palm.
He leaned his head towards me and was about to kiss me.
"Phtt." I had spited in his face.
Genai wiped his face off and smiled wickedly at me. "It looks like you have some fire left in that body of your's I'm going to enjoy letting that fire run wild and free"
"If you try to do anything to me, I swear to God. I'll kill you"
Genai leaned forward and kissed me. When he did, he slipped something in my mouth. He broke the kiss and unchained me.
"Chichiri." I said fainting.
"Kara?" Chichiri asked outloud as if he heard my voice.
"Chichiri? What's wrong?" Tauki asked.
"I heard Kara calling my name"
"How"
"I heard her in my head and," he paused saying. "In my heart," he said placing his hand over his chest.
"Do you know where she is?" Tasuki asked.
"No, I couldn't tell where she was."
"What's going on?" I asked when I woke up.
I noticed I was on a huge bed, My hunds were cuffed to the bedposts.
"Shit!" I yelled. "Chichiri help me please! If you don't come for me now, I'm going to be raped by Geni Saigusa"
"Kara! Where are you!" Chichiri asked outloud.
"I'm in some bedroom in Genai's mansion. Hurry"
"We'll be there soon. Just hang in there, my love"
When I heard the last two words, I had felt my heart beet a little faster.
I had gained some of my courage I had lost when I found myself chained to the bed.
I looked across from me and saw Genai standing unclothed in front of the bed.
"Don't come near me," I said angrily.
But, Genai started walking towards the bed.
"I'm warning you Genai," I said looking at him strait dead in the eyes. "Stay the hell away from me, you bastard"
"Rekka Shin'en"
I saw this huge blaze of fire shoot towards Genai.
I looked towards the area of where the flames came from. My eyes opened wide at who I saw.
"Tasuki! Hikaru! Chichiri"
Geni started walking towards me.
Chichiri ran towards me. He was in front of the bed. He held his staff out and spoke in japanese to cast a barrier between him, Hikaru, Tasuki, and I to be away from Genai.
"Kara!" They yelled. "Are you alright"
"You guys came just in time." I paused then said, "thank you"
Tasuki and Hikaru worked my hands free from the handcuffs.
Chichiri took his cape off and wrapped it around me.
I leaned close to him. He wrapped one arm around me while still holding his staff.
Chichiri banged his staff once and the whole floor of where he, Tasuki, Hikaru, and I were standing opened up.
The next second we were in a different world.
"Chichiri? Where are we?" I asked.
"We're in Konan where Tasuki and I protect the Preistess of Suzaku, Miaka Yuki." Chichiri grabbed my hand. "And," he said taking his mask off and looked me in the eyes, "I can also protect you, Kara." He said leaning foward towards my lips.
"Chichiri?" What are you-" my question was cut off as his lips claimed mine.
My eyes opened wide from surprise, but drifted shut as happiness flooded throughout my body.
"Kara, let me protect you." He said holding his arms out to me.
"Chichiri," I said hugging him. "I love you"
"I love you too, Kara"
Tasuki and Hikaru smiled watching us.
"Chichiri! Tasuki! You're back." Miaka said coming towards them.
"Hi Miaka." They said.
"Who have you guys brought with you?" She asked looking at Hikaru and I.
"This is Kara Shinamori." Chichiri said smiling at me. "And this is Kara's best friend, Hikaru-" he paused saying. "I don't know your last name"
"Shidou," she smiled saying. "It's Hikaru Shidou"
"This is Hikaur Shidou"
"It's great to meet you guys." Miaka said.
Chichiri took Hikaru and I to meet the other Suzaku warriors.
We had met Hotohori, Tamahome, Nuriko, Mitsukake, and Chirio.
"Hi Kara. Hi Hikaru." They all said to us.
"Hi," we said smiling back at them.
"Come. I'll show you around the palace," Miaka said walking towards the palace.
We went with her.
"Wow," I said. "This place is amazing"
"Yes. It is," Hikaru said.
Hello, Preistess." The Guards said bowing towards Miaka.
"Hello, everyone." Miaka paused saying, let me introduce you to Lady Kara and Lady Hikaru."
"Chichiri?" Tamahome asked, "how did you meet Lady Kara"
"I noticed someone evil was watching her two weeks ago." Chichiri paused then said, "this evil person was Genai Saigusa"
"Genai Saigusa!" Hotohori yelled.
"Yes, I knew of him from my cousin, Minako." Chichiri said angrily, "she was raped by him. I saw her walking home one day. Her clothes were torn and bloodied." He paused then said, "I took her to my home and she told me everything that happened. From that day forward I had wanted to face him and fight him to the death. I'm glad I was able to protect Kara from him"
Chichiri saw me talking with Hikaru and Miaka.
"I'm glad I met her. She has a kind heart. I knew that from the first time I met in the woods outside her house. I love her. And she told me she loved me." He paused then said, "I'll do anything to protect her from him, even at the cost of my life."
I looked over and saw Chichiri lookng at me.
I smiled at him and he smiled back at me.
"Kara?" Miaka asked.
"Yeah? I asked looking at her.
"Since it's Friday, which is the beginning of the weekend." She paused then asked, "how would you guys like to stay here for the weekend"
"Sure," I said.
"Sure," Hikaru also said.
"Great, we can go sight seeing tonight." Miaka said smiling at us.
"I have to tell my Mom though. And Hikaru will have to tell her brothers." I said.
"Sure, let's tell the other guys." Miaka said.
We went over to where Chichiri, Tasuki, Tamahome, and Hotohori were talking.
Chiriko, Mitsukake, and Nuriko were taking a nap.
"So you guys will be staiyng for the weekend?" Chichiri asked Hikaru and I.
"Yeah," I said smiling at him. "Now you can meet my Mom"
Chichiri smiled saying, "yeah. Your Mother and I can finally meet"
"I'm so happy to be with you, Chichiri." I said hugging him. I have never loved anyone like I loved him.
"And I'm happy to be with you, Kara." He said tilting my chin up and took his mask off.
I closed my eyes as his lips claimed mine.
Everyone was happy at seeing us happy.
"Master Geni," Nakago said. We're sorry we did not stop the intruders"
"Don't piss me off again Naraku, Nakago." Geni said.
So you were the guys after my daughter!" Karen asked angrily.
"Keep quiet woman. When Kara gets here, you shall be gone. And she will be mine"
"Kara will never belong to you as long as I live! You creep"
"Are you saying you want to die Karen?" Genai asked somewhat amusingly.
"If I know my daughter, she'll kill you before you even try that"
"Are you sure Karen?" Genai asked grabbing Karen's chin.
"Get your filthy hands off my Mother, you bastard!" I yelled at Genai pointing a rifle at him.
"Click." I pulled the cock back with my finger on the trigger. "You have the count of three to step away from her or, you won't be walking anymore"
I paused then said looking him strait dead in the eyes.
"Three." I said pulling the trigger.
The bullet had hit his kneecap.
"Ow! Goddamn you, you bitch!" Genai yelled in pain holding his left knee laying down on the ground.
Chichiri and I got my Mom and left.
"Mom? Are you alright?" I asked hugging her.
"I'm alright, Kara." She said back.
"I'm glad." I paused then said, "this is Chichiri. He's the man I told you about that first night when I went into the woods"
"Well it's finally nice to get to meet you Chichiri." My Mom said holding her hand out to shake his.
They shook hands.
Mom went with Chichiri and I to Konan.
