Fushigi Yuugi Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ The one ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

Hey I don't own fushigi yuugi. I own all other characters.

Tasuki was walking back to his room. He was steaming with anger. "That wench, thinks she can control me because of last night. If I could have stopped it I would have. Tasuki punched a banister close to him. It cracked and splintered then separated. Tasuki was seething with so much anger he didn't notice it cracked or that his hand was bleeding. He stood still for another minute. He was knocked back into reality by Nuriko's voice.

"Tasuki," Nuriko said as she patted him on the back. Tasuki went flying. He went right through the banister he punched, through the next three, and went through the railing, as he started to descend, which blocked you from the pond. He skidded through the pond, swallowing a lot of water, in turn catching a fish with his mouth. The water started slowing him down. "I guess my strength has grown hasn't it?" Her faced showed a puzzled look.

"NOBLH, NOBLH!" He screamed as he slowed down. He hit the other side and skidded up the stairs and stopped right in front of Hotohori. He looked up with the fish head sticking out of his mouth. It wriggled inside his mouth trying to get away. Hotohori stood in his new clothes, looked at Tasuki with a shocked look. Tasuki slowly stood up. He turned around and spit the fish out. It landed a foot away from him. He kicked it back into the Pond. "NURIKO WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" Tasuki screamed at her. He brought his arms up and shook them, to get the excess water off. "I hate water." Tasuki mumbled under his breath. He folded his arms with a SLAP.

"SORRY TASUKI, I DON'T KNOW MY OWN STRENTH," She shrugged. She started walking away.

"Tasuki fumed, until Hotohori spoke.

"The others will not be with us until they can finish their training," His regal voice said soothingly. He looked down, his expression showing pain.

"What's wrong your highness?" Tasuki questioned, quite concerned. Hotohori sighed. He then turned around and went towards the throne room. "I have business I must do, I had an unexpected trip and am far behind in matters." Tasuki stared at his back until he turned a corner. He shrugged. "A'int no skin off my back. He slowly turned to his left and walked toward his room.

By this time Nuriko had come over to the other side of the pond. "Tasuki," She called happily.

Tasuki jumped Ten feet in the air. "Don't do that Nuriko," Tasuki ordered. "What's wrong with Hotohori?" He said as he stared across the pond.

Nuriko turned her head away. "His majesty and I each had to face him in battle, that was how we gained our new strength. His majesty faced him, and really hurt him. That's why the other warriors, that have not battled Suzaku, are not going to be with us for a couple days. Suzaku has to heal.

"Who else did he train with?" Tasuki asked, as he started walking to his room. He tried to put his hands behind his head, but he couldn't hold them there. His cloths were heavy; he still had his coat on.

Nuriko walked behind him giggling a little. "Tamahome, Chichiri, me, and..... Hotohri." She stumbled to say Hotohri. "We all learned so much in a short time, how is my only response. Now we face a new battle. Was that why we came back all of a sudden? Miaka appeared with Taka out of the blue that was after all the warriors that were killed came back. We left our new forms, which we lived in until the day we regained our strengths. Or the exact minute we had control over our powers from before. We all questioned why, but then soon just left it alone and started living our lives with the priestess once again. It had only been about 7 to 9 years, while in her time it had barley been one year. She told us how she found Taka, for the ones that had died. We then went around the capitol buying things. Life had been quiet for a month and now we can assume why." Nuriko was knocked out of her thoughts when she ran into Tasuki. "HEY WHATS THE BIG IDE....... She looked at his face. It was blank and he looked normal, but he wasn't moving. "Tasuki what's going on.' She tried pushing him forward, but he didn't budge. She stood horrified; her strength hadn't left had it. She stomped the ground, and created a small hole. "No, then what is going on?"

She slowly looked around, unable to feel any new presence. Slowly the earth around her began to shake. She stood firm, hardly able to stand.

"Well now she fell into the trap nicely didn't she," A dark malice voice range. It was a high and low voice mixed. "Carootto, I am in need of your service."

"Mistress, may I ask why we need the warriors?" A small, yet evil looking, girl asked. Her voice was that of a woman's. She was 4' 3", had black hair that went, just barley, to her shoulders. It was parted down the middle, with the bangs hanging in her eyes. She had rhapsody colored eyes. They were dark and held no emotion. She had a chest plate, for armor, and wore a squirt that cascade to the floor, being longer that her legs were. Her arms were bare. The chest plate was a black, gray color. The squirt was a brilliant white.

"Hmm," She murmured as she looked into the crystal ball. "That woman is remarkably beautiful, but is in disguise."

"Disguise, mistress… How so?"

"DO NOT QUESTION ME AS IF I AM YOUR EQUAL I AM FAR HIGHER THAN YOU CAN EVER BE. She shot her hand toward the girl, palm facing out. Her fingers bent for a slight second then returned to their first position.

"AHHH," Carootto screamed. Her arms were trapped to her side and you could see some kind of blue electricity running over her body. She stood for a short time, and then fell to her knees. The blue light was now gone from her body and she fell forward and braced her self with her hands. She was now in a bowing position. Her breathing came in very short gasps.

"Next time you speak to me as though I am a mer mortal you will not see the light of another sunshine," The dark woman voiced evenly. `IS THAT CLEAR," Her voice rang through the cave, echoing then dieing instantly.

"Yee," Carootto coughed. She sat in this position until she regained her breath. She slowly stood up, making sue to keep her eyes to the floor. Looking her mistress in the eyes after a punishment showed stupidity, for she is able to tell what one is thinking through them, weather they show nothing or a major emotion. Her emotions were hate and disappointment. She stayed in that position until her mistress said she could get up or leave.

"You may get up anytime…" The mistress moved from her black spiked throne. She stood, as her dress cascade down to the floor. It was a dark black-blue. It was a medium cut. It was long sleeved and at the wrists instead of the usual fluff, it had a section sticking out that came to a point. It almost looked like there was a knife on her wrists. The body of the dress fit her like a glove, she was very slender, and had black sparkle beads all over the front, set in a design of a spider. The squirt of the dress was an onyx color, held no shine. It was a tight fit to her knees, where it widened till it was to the middle of her shins, the dress stopped there. Revealing her black high heel boots, they went to her knees, and covered the kneecap. They were made of a thin material, with a crisscrossing design on them. She walked slowly, with a ^chink, chink^, behind Carootto and went to a shelf about 5 feet away. She picked up a scroll and undid the ribbon holding it. It fell open and stopped at the mistress' waist. She slowly read what it said to her self. After five minutes or so she rolled the parchment back up and turned to face Carootto. "But under no circumstances even try to leave, I have things I need to discuss with you.

Carootto slowly rose, placing her right hand, in a fist, on her shoulder. Her head still bowed to her mistress, eyes closed. She turned and faced her mistress, removing her hand, from her shoulder, and placing it on her side. She slowly raised her head revealing her closed eyes. She stood with her left knee now bent and her right hand on her hip. The other arm draped around her midriff. Still refusing to open her eyes.

"Terrool," a strong masculine voice called from the ceiling. Both women looked toward the spot, the voice had come from. The mistress dropped the parchment.

The mistress looked over at Carootto, she still had her eyes closed, with her faced turned toward the voice. She waved her arm, the parchment and, Carootto rose into the air. She waved her arm once more, the scroll and Carootto both disappeared. The same instant her body grew heavier and a man appeared behind her. He started kissing her neck. He squeezed her closer to him, *his hands placed on her shoulders*. She lolled her neck to the side to give him better access.

*His arms are criss crossed. His left hand touching her right shoulder and his right hand is touching her left shoulder. Just wanted to clear that up just in case. *

"Mmmmm" Terrool moaned. Upon hearing this, the man suddenly stopped. He unwrapped his arms and pushed her away. She instantly turned around to look at him. Her eyes held no emotion, not even a question of why.

"Your always the same." A casual voice sounded from him. He shrugged and made a chair appear. He flopped down in it and stared at her. "No questions, no emotion, nothing. You just stand there and take what's happening. A normal girl would have slapped me or moved out of my grasp. We all know you can do that without trying. But you might be thinking if you did that…" He trailed off as he stared at her hard and with a stern expression. "I would toss you away right."

Her eyes shot with surprise, but returned to normal an instant later. Blinking would have been a bad thing. "Now why would I think that?" Terrool questioned sternly. , Her facial expression never changing.

"I wonder, maybe because you're my puppet. He disappeared the reappeared behind her and grabbed her, the same as before. He squeezed her none to gently. He bent down to her ear and whispered. "Isn't that right my little muffin?"

"Hush," She in took a breath as he squeezed her. She listened to what he said and didn't even try to get free. He pushed her away quit roughly almost causing her to lose her balance. She caught it at the last second and stood up straight. He slowly walked up to her and shoved her to the ground. She fell forward and landed on her hands and knees. She waited for him to step on her back and push her further to the ground. It never came.

She looked back at him. He was hovering over her with an agitated look. He closed his eyes and shot them back open. "Why don't you ever DO THINGS TO YOUR OWN ACCORD?" His voice rose. He kicked her in her stomach. She went flying and skidded on her left side. When she stopped she laid there not even complaining about the pain. She slowly sat up, on her knees, and grabbed her left arm. Her whole arm had a burn mark. The worst was on her elbow. She rose to a kneeling position, and then stood. Hey eyes still held no emotion, as did her face. She limped over to him. His look angered even more. She reached him and brought her right hand up to cup his face.

She touched his face then pulled her hand back and …… "SMACK."

Carootto felt her self be lifted in the air and a moment later felt a wind as she landed on her bed. She heard a plop as the scroll landed on her desk. She slowly opened her eyes. She instantly closed them as the streaming sunlight lit the room. She turned away from the window and dropped her legs over the side of the bed. Again she opened her eyes, this time more slowly. She looked around her room. Next to her bed was a TV stand that had a clock and a fanon it. Next to this was a window that was always open, weather in the winter or summer. At the bottom of her bed stood a desk.

It was a brown wooden desk that held many boxes of different types: A jewelry box, crayon/colored pencil box, a fun art box with a unicorn on it, a box that had Chinese characters on it, that held different things, the last box was a collectable beanie baby unicorn. The other stuff on the desk was videotapes of an anime series, along with collectable figures and other things from that series. They were in front of the jewelry box. Next to those was a wooden holder, which held collectable unicorn figures, and two dolls. It had a picture book on the top, along with many stuffed animals and some heart shaped candy boxes, a couple of chocolate roses, and some bubbles. In front of this was a unicorn picture and a unicorn figure with a faerie on it's back.

*On the opposite wall from her bed was a dresser. * On top of it was a TV and a DVD player. A VCR stood a top the TV, which was held above it by two wooden blocks. The dresser stood right next to the door.

*Lets say the bed was on the wall furthest from the door. *

The last wall had a CD and videotape holder next to it, just beyond the point where the door opened and hit the wall. Next to that was another dresser, that was a wooden one, painted white. It was on its last legs and hardly stood. One of the sides that supported it was almost broken in half, screwed together so it wouldn't fall apart. It had all of her other anime collection on it, along with Disney videos/fox/dreamworks/so on, and many recording tapes. Next to this was a Bookcase; it had all her mangas on it, some notebooks with stories and drawings in them. On the top, of this three shelved bookcase, stood a boom box that had a single tape deck and a CD player. The little space next to this held her CD case. Most of those were recorded ones from a computer. This stood next to her closet. Which had stuff crammed into that hit the clothing rack. The closet was right next to her window. There was a little wall on the other side of the window which had a lone picture, won from a fair, of a blue unicorn with its mane blowing in the wind.

The walls above her bed had many unicorn pictures a couple pictures, one of which you could take the back off, and put others small unicorn and Pegasus pictures in it. The wall above the desk held a Dragon ball z Beach Towel and a poster. The wall above the dresser had two dragon ball z posters on it. The wall above the white desk had 5 unicorn posters on it, a unicorn picture, and a unicorn folder.

She looked at the floor, which was cluttered with clothing and other things. To her, her room was home; to others it was cluttered and messy. She always got ragged on how it needed to be cleaned. When she did clean it, it got dirty again and she always hated that. Once more she looked through her room. She spotted the rolled up parchment on the white desk. She stood up and retrieved it. She then plopped back on her bed and leaned against the wall. She undid the parchment. It read:

Carootto

This parchment is just to tell you what I was gong to say. I am always interrupted by felrnn. Lets just say he sees me as a toy. I play along so I can get use to the hurt.

That is noy the subject I wanted to talk to you about, that is just a statement. Do not confuse this. What I'm telling you will change the course of everyone's lives no matter where they live. We need to stop it. I will start with Suzaku, he has gathered his warriors to give them their new powers on his own, well with the goddess, but that does not matter. What matters is why he is doing it, you see he is the god of fire, and his true form is Phoenix. The phoenix's life is long but when it comes to an end it will not come back for some time…

Carootto stopped reading at this point and was confused on what she meant, no one died and then came back to life. Gods certainly don't, for they are immortal, they never die. I thought they only went to their human form in front of the priestess and warriors. She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts, `they will probably be answered in the letter." She continued on:

You are probably wondering how a god can die and be reborn. Well a phoenix is a different animal, they are born of fire, but fire doesn't last forever. It must go out sometime. With a phoenix it burns out, but is reborn from the ashes. It takes many years for a baby phoenix to grow old enough to change into the god Suzaku. The god Suzaku can not stay as a phoenix for it is the only one of its kind, even after taking a wife, the only quality she gets is to stay alive or immortality, and cannot be alone forever. In time the god we know, as Suzaku now, will be no more, he does have an heir.

In the time it takes for the god to reform, he must choose one of his warriors to act as the god for that time. It is usually the one that can do a special talent, without his powers, but that warrior is not able to come near the god or goddess this time. The one he has chosen is the one that is able to harm him in the battle for their newfound powers. That one person is Hotohori. He is the emperor of Konan.

That is all I have to say for now. I will contact you later to tell you more of what I need you to do.

Your Mistress

Terrool

Carootto sighed, "well she didn't write this when I thought she did. I thought she wrote it in that five minutes when I stayed on the floor waiting for the rest of her reply to my façade of not getting up." She unrolled the parchment the rest of the way and saw a P.S.

I did write this in that five minutes, your puny brain can `t even acknowledge my power. Don't try to think you know me, for you will never. Only a lover can ever know someone that clearly.

Carootto stared at the P.S. She then dropped the parchment back on the desk. In an instant in was engulfed in blue flames and disappeared. "Just like all the other letters she has given me. She doesn't want Felrnn to know of her plans. He has no clue she is even acting on her own accord. He thinks she is just a plaything that does whatever she is told, if he only knew." She threw open the door and walked in to the hallway, slamming it behind her. The lights in the room went off as she exited.

********

Terrool looked at Felrnn with a shocked look in her face and eyes. She brought her right hand up to her cheek. He had hit he, he had never done that before. She sat on the floor just staring at him. She brought her eyes down and looked at the floor.

"Now that brought something to that stone face of yours." He roughly bent down and grabbed her by her hurt arm. He pulled her up to his chest and kissed her hard and heavy. She put her hands on his chest as an instinct. He tightened his grip on her arm. Still she didn't push away. He broke the kiss and again threw her back. She stayed standing. She looked into his eyes. They now held lust; she was still going to do what she had planned earlier. She slowly walked up to him placed her hand on his cheek. This time drawing her fingers slowly down and pulling back as though she was going to walk away. "Still just going to take the pain I should have..."

"Smack," His face turned sharply and a handprint could be seen on his left cheek. He turned his head back toward her with a look of shock written on his face. "Now do you still think I will take the abuse you give me. I am not a little toy for you. I do have a mind, just because I take a lot of things doesn't mean that I will take it forever." She turned her back on him. "Also remember my power does rival yours and in time I can beat you if I want." She felt his breathing on her neck the next instance, his hands now around her waist. She tried to get out of his grasp, but he pulled her back towards him.

"Now you don't want to play that's no fun at all." He bent his head close to her ear. "Remember your power does not rival mine completely yet." He then started kissing behind her ear. Again she tried to get away from his grasp. He pulled her even tighter to him. "No, no," He smiled into her hair, smelling it as he turned her around to face him. "You see now that you have upset me I will make you pay." He pushed her away lightly and snapped his fingers. In an instant she was in the air with ropes around her ankles and wrists. "I am going to have a little fun with you, in a way I have always dreamed of." He smiled and brought her down to his height.

Well I hope this was good enough for the long wait. I have had family problems come up lately. A death was involved so please do not be too angry. I really hope this was long enough and that I did clear some of the things that I had left you thinking up. If not you can e-mail me and I can help answer your questions. I may have confused some people. Please don't hesitate to ask me what they are I will answer them as soon as I can.
