Fushigi Yuugi

(Chapter 8: Misunderstanding part 1)

As she walked down the halls she saw a big old dusty door. Chorie being uneasy by the size of it walked over to see if it could be opened but first she looked to see if anyone was around. There was a big long 'CREEK' when she opened the large dusty door. As Chorie peeked her head inside and she got an idea. Yeahah! IDEA, this will be fun before bed. She said as she ran down screaming down the hall.

"Who?" Chichiri said popping his head out of his room. "What?" Said Nuriko as he and Hotohori looked around the corner to see Chorie running straight at them like a speeding bullet, but her eyes were shut tight as she ran by them. "What's with her?" Asked Hotohori looking at Nuriko a little dumbfounded by what he'd just witnessed. Nuriko sighed and then shrugged with his eyes closed. "I haven't a clue… Let's find out." So they ran after her trying to find out what was wrong.

Tasuki who had just got done dressing into his slacks and a tee shirt heard Chorie screaming down the halls and so he opened his door and heard a loud 'THUD' so he looked outside the door to see Chorie knocked out cold. "Oh my god! What did I do? I killed the Priestess of Suzaku!" Tasuki said with a worried face crouching down next to her and pulling at his hair. I'm screwed now this isn't good… He said as he looked at her then looked around to see if anyone was around. Suddenly Chorie sat up like a zombie and looked at Tasuki with a cold face as Nuriko Hotohori and Chichiri rounded the corner to see her staring at Tasuki with a big burse on her face.

"Oh at least she's ok, see guys. She's perfectly fine, I told you." Nuriko said while smiling at Hotohori and Chichiri who were behind him. Then she looked back at Chorie who was strangling Tasuki to death with all her might. "Oh thank goodness… I thought the war had started already." Hotohori said with a sigh of relief as he covered his heart with his hand for extra drama effect. Chichiri just looked at Hotohori with a weird face then at Chorie who was beating the crap out of Tasuki. Well at least she's ok… He said to himself as he took a long breath and sighed while Nuriko was still catching his breath.

"Stop you're killing me Chorie-…" Tasuki struggled to say as he tried to grab her hands that were still strangling him. "You're going to pay for hurting my beautiful face TASUKI!" She stopped and looked over as the other three in the hallway who were staring at her with strange faces while Tasuki was almost dead in her grasp. Chorie dropped him and stood up walking over to Nuriko who was giving her an odd look. "So you're all finally here I see. I've got something that we can all do before we all go to bed, follow me!" She said as she ran down the dark hall as the other just shrugged and followed out of interest and boredom. "Wait for uhg… me…" Tasuki said barely lifting his head and dropping it again.

When they all finally arrived at the dark dusty room Chorie opened it and turned to face all four men. "Ok! We're going to play truth or dare!" She said excitedly with a smile as she walked into the dark room and sat on a pillow that was just laying there on the floor. "What's Truth or dare?" Asked Hotohori who was intrigued by this so called 'game' which to speak of wasn't very bright to bring up. "Yeah I agree, what is it?" Asked Nuriko who sat down next to sake' rack that was which by the way right behind Chorie who was sitting criss-cross on the pillow. "I'm not sitting on the dirty floor!" Hotohori said angrily to Chorie who gave him an evil glare which made him sit right away. "You still didn't answer Tasuki or Hotohori…" Said Chichiri who was looking around the dark room then decided to sit. "Well I'll tell you in a minute. Sit down Tasuki, I won't bite… well not hard at least." Chorie said with a giggle as the others just laughed. When Tasuki finally sat down the fun began. "So I'll go first… I'll pick Hotohori!" Chorie said excitedly with an evil grin. "Wait, how do we play?" Whispered Nuriko in Chories ear with a worried face. "Just watch… Hotohori! Truth or dare? Pick one!" Said Chorie grinning mischievously like a two year old hiding a frog in their pocket. "Fine since I've never played before I'll go with truth." "Ok then I tell me when's the last time you got laid." She asked with a laugh which made everyone laugh but Chichiri who was just observing the game. Hotohori blushed and looked at everyone around him and looked back at Chorie who was cracking up. "Do I really have to answer that?" He asked with a worried look made it even more obvious he hadn't in awhile.

He sighed and looked at everyone with a depressed face which made Nuriko, Tasuki and Chorie laugh even more. "Well I haven't had sex in quite some time now…" He mumbled softly, but t everyone heard. "Ok then I guess it's my turn to ask someone a question then?" He asked Chorie who was still laughing, but she nodded. "Ok Then… My TURN! Chichiri I chose you!" Yelled Hotohori pointing at Chichiri with a serious face which made everyone laugh even more. "Huh? Me? I don't even know how to play yet ya' know?" Chichiri said trying to get out of the game. "Chichiri don't be a wuss! Come on." Yelled Nuriko as he put one of his arms around Chories neck and laughed a little. "Fine! But this isn't cool you know… Ok I pick dare…" Said Chichiri as Tasuki sat there waiting to see him suffer.

Hotohori nodded and pointed to the rack of sake' behind Chorie and Nuriko. "I dare you to drink a whole sake' bottle!" Hotohori said loudly with a smile as Chichiri just looked at Hotohori with an evil face. "Go on, drink!" Said Tasuki who pushed Chichiri towards the sake' rack. So Chichiri crawled over towards Chorie and Nuriko and looked at them both. "Nuriko umm could you hand me one?" Chichiri said sweetly with a smile as Chorie just sat there watching him trying to open it. Everyone watched as Chichiri chugged it all down then they all cheered. "Ahhh… it burns." Chichiri said softly to himself as he felt a pat on the back. It was Tasuki congratulating him on dinking his first alcoholic beverage. "Good job! You chugged that sucker down fast!" Tasuki said happily as the others clapped with amusement. "Ok 'hic' my turn to choose and I chose you, Chorie!" He said pointing to her with an evil drunken face. They all looked at her with a smile which made her very uneasy. "Ok! I pick dare!" She yelled with her hands in tight fists. Oh gosh what am I doing? She thought to herself when she finally heard the dare. "I dare you to get 'hic' drunk!" He said with a smile as the other just stared at her. "Fine! I accept your challenge Chichiri!" She yelled as she took a bottle of sake' and chugged it down. "Hey you guys I think we should stop, this isn't good." Said Tasuki with a worried face as he stared at the Priestess turning a little pale. "Hmmm, yeah. I guess your right Tasuki, I mean just look at her." Said Nuriko as she nudged Hotohori's shoulder in amusement. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Let's take them back to their rooms." Hotohori said with an annoyed face as he put Chichiri's arm around his neck and carried him out to his room. "Her Tasuki I'll be back you take care of Chorie and take her to her room, ok?" Nuriko said while following Hotohori. Tasuki Nodded and picked up the drunken girl and carried her to her room.
