Fushigi Yuugi
(Chapter 5: The Swimsuit part 2)
When Chorie looked up after she shut the door behind her and saw Nuriko standing there glaring at her, next to her on the bed there were two boxes with pretty bows on top. "Oh, hi there Nuriko… what's wrong? Are you ok?" Chorie asked with a smile as she walked over to him. "NO! No I'm not ok! You scared me shitless!" She yelled loudly at Chorie and Chorie just giggled. "Umm, hey Nuriko?" Her smile quickly became a frown as she looked at Nuriko. "Yeah? What is it?" He said angrily as he plopped himself down on the bed behind him. "Never mind…" Chorie said to herself quietly and sat next to Nuriko on the right side and looked at the old dusty floor beneath her feet. "No, no I'm sorry for yelling, what did you want?" Asked Nuriko while patting her head with her right hand and leaning near her face and smiling at her.
"Well you see there's a problem… I don't know what to do. Can you help?" Chorie asked sounding a little desperate for someone to listen to her. "Sure I'll listen…" Nuriko said with a warm smile. "I-… I'm in love." She whispered quietly to Nuriko which made Nuriko's eyes widen. "With who?" She asked loudly and repeatedly eager to know the answer. "One of the Suzaku seven…" Chorie mumbled under her breath but Nuriko could hear it quite clearly. "What? First you mother go's off with your father, now you're in love with one of us!" He said loud and worriedly with his face turning pale. "O, M, G! Who is it?" He shrieked like a girl who just got some juicy gossip.
"It's, oh I can't say it!" Chorie said covering her blushing face with her hands. "It's ok I promise not to tell…" Nuriko said quietly while rubbing Chories head trying to comfort her. "It's Chichiri…" Chorie said while a tear fall from one of her eyes. Nuriko stopped rubbing her head and said nothing for at least a few minutes. "Chichiri? Really?" Nuriko said finally breaking the silence. "Yeah… Is that wrong?" She asked with more tears dropping to the ground. "No it's not as being in love with Hotohori." Nuriko said with a giggle as he hugged Chorie. "But that's not my problem… Nuriko, Tasuki likes me…" Chorie said with a little sniffle. "What?" Nuriko screamed as he grabbed her shoulder shaking Chorie back and forth like a rag doll. Then Nuriko stopped as Chorie looking lifeless in his grasp.
Her head was leaned back and the robe fell off as she started saying weird things like. 'Grandma is that you?' or 'I see the light…' Nuriko let go of her letting her lay down on the bed and looked at her with an odd face. "Whoa that was one heck of a ride." She said and sat up, but right as she did she got hit with a box that Nuriko threw at her. "Ouch!" She yelped loudly and looked at Nuriko who was giggling and trying to hide his smile. She had a big mark on her face from the box.
"You jerk! I'm trying to express my feelings and you throw a 'box' at me?" She yelled with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Just open the box, ok? It's a gift for you." Nuriko said with a smile. "Bu-…?" She tried to say but Nuriko interrupted. "Oh, once you're done opening that one there it another one I made myself!" Nuriko said excitedly with a grin holding the other box in his lap. Chorie looked at the box in her lap when doing that she also noticed she was wearing nothing except a bra and panties and Nuriko didn't even care.
"Umm, ok. I guess I'll open it. It might make me happy anyways." She said to herself while Nuriko picked up Chichiri's robe and folded it neatly. As she undid the bowtie Chorie looked back up at Nuriko and smiled. "Thank you; you really know how to cheer a girl up." She said and looked back down at the box lid. I wonder what it is. She thought to herself as she took off the lid and set it on the bed next to her. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked in the box. There in the box lay a beautiful looking kimono. It was beautiful light pink with a gold thick trim at the bottom that had patches of red maroon flowers on it in different places and a bit of gold patches on the pink. The middle section had a golden string with five golden balls in the middle and little gold tassels that hung from them.
Looking under the Kimono it had white leggings that went all the way up to the thigh and a necklace with red rubies going all the way around it. But the rubies were made into spears and were so smooth. "Oh my god Nuriko!" Chorie shrieked excitedly and smiled looking at Nuriko's face with so much joy. "That isn't all I actually have one more besides the one in my lap!" He said with so much excitement.
"Really? Oh Nuriko, you're awesome!" She yelled looking back down at the things she just got. "Here open this now…They're the shoes that go with it." He said softly with a smile as he handed Chorie a smaller box. "Oh thank you!" She shrieked again and opened the box to see luxurious black clogs that hat black lace that looked so sexy. "Oh thank you!" She yelled and gave Nuriko a big hug. "Take off your bra and panties and I'll give you your last present and no I won't rape you, ok?" He said with a smile that was so comforting to look at. I've been through so much… so why shouldn't I? She thought and then nodded with a cautious look as she reached behind her back unclipping her bra.
Once she slid her black bra with white lace off, she put it next to her. "Here… here is the last present. Hurry up and open it before someone comes in and see's you like this." Nuriko handed her a shiny black wooden box. She slid off her black panties that had a white bow then stood up and opened the black shiny box. "Hurry I hear voices outside!" Nuriko said with a worried face. Chorie looked at a beautiful red two piece swimsuit that had a golden skinny chain that wrapped around the neck and underwear skirt with gold trim. So she quickly slipped on the swimsuit top and the swimsuit underwear skirt with gold trim.
"Hold on just a minute I'm getting dressed!" She yelled as she got the white leggings and the kimono with the red ruby necklace on. "Come in! I'm decent now!" She said and smiled at Nuriko who was sitting on the bed smiling back at her. The door opened and she looked back to see who it was and Nuriko looked at the door as well. "Hey, there-…" Tasuki tried to say but stopped to look at the priestess who looked so beautiful. "We settled the fighting, whoa-…" Chichiri tried to say but before he could he spotted Chorie. "Whoa…" Chichiri and Tasuki said with their mouths wide open. "Hey you guy's isn't she pretty?" Said Nuriko standing up from the bed and walking over next to Chorie. "Uh-huh…" Said Tasuki nodding his head as Chichiri just stared. "Hey guys." Chorie said as Nuriko put his hand on her shoulder and winked at Chichiri. "Huh? What was that for-?…" Chichiri stopped and realized Nuriko knew something so he just played cool.
"What did you guys want?" Chorie asked with a cute smile that made Chichiri and Tasuki blush a little. "I, I mean we were wondering if you got your presents? But we see you got them now… We were going to take you swimming in the creek. Do you want to go?" Asked Tasuki as he shook his head and finally caught track of what he had come for. "That's why I made you the swimsuit part of the kimono." Said Nuriko with a smile as she patted Chories back.
"Well do you want to go?" Asked Chichiri with his head tilted to the side a little and a smile. "Ok, why not?" She smiled at everyone and laughed then walked over to Tasuki and Chichiri And grabbed their arms looking back at Nuriko and mouthing out the words 'Thank you' and walked out of sight with the two men. Nuriko giggled and followed the two complaining man as Chorie and Nuriko just laughed.
