Fushigi Yuugi

(Chapter 5: The Swimsuit part 1)

"I'm ok know, thank you for fixing my finger." Said Chichiri cheerfully as he glanced over at the door that locked. "Hmmm umm Chorie since the door is locked… you could sleep on the bed while I take the floor?" Chichiri said with a smile. "No, it is ok I'll take the floor your hurt Chichiri." She said with a sweet smile that amazed Chichiri. "I can't allow that…" Stated Chichiri with a serious face that turned into a smile. "And why can't I, Chichiri?" said Chorie with an annoyed face. He giggled with a grin looking at her and leaning close to her face and whispering in her ear. "Because it's not being a gentleman to the priestess. Besides would a man do that to the girl he likes?" He said with a mischievous grin like an eight year old that just hid a mouse in his mother's shoe.

"Well I can't allow you to take the floor… you're hurt. So I guess you'll have to take the bed…"She said as she started to lay down facing the wall, but what he didn't know was that she wasn't thinking right because she was so sleepy. "Umm o-…?" Chichiri started to say but stopped as he heard her snoring lightly and mumbling things under her breath. I guess I got no choice she'll get mad if I sleep on the floor… Chichiri laid down beside her thinking to himself about what had just happened a few minutes ago. "Goodnight Chorie." He said as he turned over facing her and watched her sleep then shut his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning the door slammed opened, it was Nuriko who was scared half to death. "Chichiri! Chorie it gone!" She yelled which woke up Chorie and Chichiri. "Oh crap…" Chorie whispered to herself as she hid under the blankets. "Huh? She should be in her room Nuriko…" Said Chichiri calmly as he turned over to face Nuriko. "Well she's not!" Said Nuriko worriedly still standing in the doorway. Dose he even know I'm still here? Chorie thought to herself with a concerned look as she lay still under the covers.

"Nuriko go check she might have gone to the restroom or something you know." Chichiri said with a worried face that looked so convincing to Nuriko and so she left to go check. As soon as Nuriko left Chorie popped out from under the covers and took a long breath. "Gosh I thought I was going to suffocate!" She said loudly as she sat up, Chichiri rolled over to look at her with a smile. "Pretty convincing right?" He asked with a grin that made her angry. "What do you mean convincing I thought you forgot I was here? A where is your shirt?" She asked with a rosy red seeping across her face.

"I took it off… I knew someone would come looking for you so I had to make it look convincing that you weren't with me. But don't worry I've got pants on." He said with a sad face as he got up throwing the blanket and sheets off him and walking over to where his clothes lay. "Oh… why do you look so sad though?" She asked him as she watched him pick up his shirt and put it on. He slid it over his head then he looked at her as he put on his shirt. He looked away for a moment and slid his arms through the long sleeves popping his hands out and the end then tugging his shirt down over his toned body. "Why do you insist on staring like that?" he asked her with a straight face staring at the ground while he spoke.

"I'm sorry…" She looked at her fidgeting hands as she tapped her fingers together while she started sweating a little. "It's ok, you're young… But why would you like an old guy like me?" Chichiri asked looking up at her and walking to the bed and sitting down. "Huh? Old?" She said with a puzzled face. "I'm like twenty-four, and aren't you like fifteen? Because that's how old you mother was when she came in the book." He said with a worried face facing her with his one leg on the bed and the other hanging off the side. "I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm 17 I'm almost an adult, sorry. Besides I'll make my own decisions on who I like and how I act, got it?" She said with an angry look as she glared at him while she gripped the sheet tightly. "Ok, ok I'm sorry…" Chichiri said as he looked at her and noticed all she had on was a bra and underwear. Was that all she was wearing late night? Whoa that not good…

"Chichiri? When my mother left did she leave any clothes here that might fit me?" She asked turning quiet red as she pulled the sheets over her chest. Which only hid the front of her as the back was completely visible. "Umm yeah I think she did… I'll check you stay here ok?" He said while turning bright red as he stood up and walked to the door. "Wait!" She yelled to him. "What?" he asked turning around with a puzzled face. What could she possibly want now? He asked himself. "Could you get my clothes from my room first…?" She mumbled while looking down at the blanket she was holding close. "Well of course priestess." He smiled and left the room.

As Chichiri walked down the halls to her room he saw Tasuki standing there in front of the door glaring at him. "So where did you take her Chichiri?" Said Tasuki angrily as he looked at him with the most violent face he had ever seen. "She came to my room during the night, because I was screaming as I tried to pop the finger you dislocated out of place the other night." He said softly looking at the floor as he tried to get past him, but Tasuki wouldn't let him. "Why are her clothes on the side table then Chichiri?" He asked as he blocked the door. "I don't know she must have token them off? She asked me to come get them for her because she got locked in my room…" Chichiri tried to explain but Tasuki didn't believe him at all. "Lies, your ling Chichiri!" He pushed him to the wall and stared into his one eye as his hands had him by the collar of his shirt.

"I'm not ling Tasuki, besides nothing happened between us. I slept on the floor and Nriko opened the locked door this morning looking for her. I swear nothing happened…" Chichiri said calmly as he stared into Tasuki's eyes which were filled with anger. "Fine! What-ever! But I didn't fall in love with her because she looked like her mother, got it?" Tasuki yelled in his face. "Then why did you fall in love with her?" He asked with a straight face with made Tasuki tense up and let go of him and back off. "I don't'-…" Tasuki stopped when he hear Chories voice in the hall. They looked over to their left and saw Chorie in the hall wrapped up in Chichiri's robe which was covering up her bra and panties because it was so long.

"I came to see what was going on because I heard yelling… were you two fighting?" She asked sweetly with concern which made Tasuki blush a little and turn away. "No we weren't we just had a little disagreement." Said Tasuki quietly which made Chichiri look at him with a strange face. I guess I was wrong about him liking her… My bad. Chichiri thought as he stood against the wall looking at her. "Oh yeah Chorie, Nuriko said she made you something." Tasuki said turning around with a smile facing Chorie, which surprised Chichiri.

"Really? What she make?" Asked Chorie eager to know what it was. "She said it was some kind of suit, I think?" Said Tasuki with a smile. Chichiri was getting a little jealous for some reason so he went and got her clothes in the room and brought them to her. Tasuki glared at him then Chichiri walked away around the corner back to his room.

"Chichiri? Where are you going?" Chorie asked turning around to watch him turn the corner. "Back to my room, see you later!" His yell echoed through the halls. "Hmm, hey Tasuki what's wrong with him?" She said turning back to Tasuki who was leaning against the wall with his arm folded. He looked at her then looked away. "I haven't a clue…" He said mumbled quietly. She walked over to him and smacked him across the face with an angry look. "YOU!" She yelled in his face. He stood up and put his hand on his hurt cheek and stared at her. "You bastered! You're the one who dislocated his finger huh?" She yelled getting closer in his face which made him look away. "No I didn't…" He said quietly facing away from her. "Liar!" She yelled louder when he suddenly grabbed her by the arms pulling her close. "So what if I did! Well what could you do about it?" He yelled back at her with an angry face, he couldn't just stand there and listen to her nag at him. "I only did it because he kissed you!" He yelled in her face and pushed her away which made her drop her clothes.

He pinned her against the wall with his for arm next to her head and his other hand on the wall. "You saw that…?" She asked softly with her eyes wide open staring into his. "Yes, I did…" He said softly as he backed off slowly. "He's changed ever since you've came… he's in love again but he won't admit it to himself… So, so I didn't want to take a chance and let him get you first." He said with a sad voice as he finally unpinned her. "Oh, I never knew that." She said with a smile while looking at Tasuki. "You should say sorry to Chichiri, Tasuki I mean it." Chorie said as she kissed his forehead and started to pick up her clothes behind him, he stood there dumbstruck for a few moments. "Go say sorry he didn't deserve that, I'll meet you two later once I'm dressed." She said while smiling as she picked up her clothes and walked into her room and shut the door behind her.
