Fushigi Yuugi Fan Fiction / Slayers Fan Fiction ❯ Sibling Rivalry ❯ Chapter 1

Aren't dreams nice. That's how this idea came to me. I dreamed Lina Inverse, from Slayers, and Tasuki from Fushigi Yugi were brother and sister. Now my dream was kookier than this story (being that my dream was a musical and also had Seth Green in it...) but the idea nagged at my mind.

I got to thinking about them. Tasuki is terrified of his sisters. Now Lina and Luna Inverse would scare anyone into hating the entire female population. Lina only mentions (this is according to the TV show) she has a sister. She doesn't say anything about the rest of her family, I could be wrong so if I am please just bare with me. Now Lina is a known "bandit killer" If you don't know that, have you never seen the series or what?! Ok, back on track, Tasuki became a bandit, again, we all know this. Now, don't you think that maybe Tasuki was so traumatized by his sister Lina the bandit killer that he found that the only way to rebel against her was to become a bandit? (See! My psychology class did pay off!) The only thing I can say is, Freud would have a field day with this family.

Another family issue both hold is the fact their families were both dead broke. (I don't really know if Tasuki's family was broke. I am just assuming)

Next I looked at them physically (mmm...Tasuki's body...*drool*) *Ahem* Both Lina and Tasuki have flame red hair. Both have fangs. Both like fire...a lot. Both have attitudes and both need anger management. Both beat on companions (Ie, Tamahome and uh...every Slayers person that messes with Lina...)

Well, with that out of the way, please R&R!!

A loud shriek of terror ripped threw the halls of the Konan palace. Everyone in the large structure stood in shock as Hotohori, Chichiri, Tamahome, Nuriko and Miaka ran threw the maze like structure, quickly finding the source of the screams. The unsettling sound seemed to began in the room of the Wing senchi of Suzaku.

"Tasuki?!" Miaka burst open the bandit's large double door and ran inside. The pale yellow room was a mess, cloths were scattered everywhere, as was a purse full of coins. Amazingly Tasuki was nowhere to be seen, thou the screams most likely did start in this room.

This had been the wing of the palace where the shrieks started. Tasuki had requested a room far far away from the rest of palace life. He was kind of paranoid of someone stealing his belongings, the other senchi guessed his paranoia started when he became a bandit. Chichiri, on the other hand, believed the paranoia was due to Tamahome's money issues and Tasuki didn't want to find his stuff out in the market place.

"Tasuki?" Nuriko scratched his head, "Where is he?"

"N...Nuriko..?" Tasuki said from somewhere in his room. "Is...is it...jus' you?"

"Miaka, Tamahome, Hotohori-sama and Chichiri are with me." The lavender haired bishonen looked around the room once more for the bandit, a little confused by the fearful tone of voice Tasuki was using.

"Thank Suzaku." Tasuki sighed in relief and crawled out from under the bed. He was very pale and shaking , a sight rarely seen coming from the red haired man. "I thought it was someone else!" He laughed nervously.

"Like who?" Hotohori knew it was bad. If anything scared Tasuki to the point of quivering in fear under his bed, it had to possess great power. Something Konan couldn't deal with in this moment in time. Not with a war going on.

"Nothin' really, jus' a person I knew."

Nuriko snorted. "Liar."

"I said it was nothin' important!" Tasuki belted. His hands balled into fists and the rest of the Suzaku Senshi heard paper crumple in his grasp.

"No one, eh?" Tamahome sleeked over to his rival, "Than what's the paper? A letter, perhaps?"

Tasuki flushed in anger and shoved the paper into his pocket. "I said it was nothin'." He growled and left the room.

"Now that was weird."

Chichiri sighed and left the room. In back of him he heard coins rustling.

"TAMAHOME!" Nuriko screeched "Put Tasuki's money BACK!"

The monk chuckled and continued on. "Tasuki!" He rounded a corner. "Hey Tasuki, Wait up, no da!"

Tasuki whipped around and faced his friend "Look! I said nothin's wrong! Lay off!" He hissed.

The older man frowned and crossed his arms. "Absolutely nothing, no da?"

"Absolutely nothin...no da"

"Than why are you angry, no da?"

"Cause I can! That's why!"

"Tasuki..." The monk used his most dangerous warning voice. It usually worked on the bandit for some strange unknown reason we're not getting into right now.

Tasuki groaned in defeat. There was no way to get around this. Chichiri was persistent and wouldn't give up until he had every dirty little detail. "I got a letter from my sister. She's commin' here."

Chichiri smiled brightly. "Here? That's great, no da!"

"Not when yer sister is a deranged psychopath! She's jus commin here ta mooch offa me!"

"You can't be certain that's what she's planning. She could just miss you."

"Yah, sure. We miss each other as much as someone would miss a disease. A slow fatal disease that forces ya ta cough up blood an' ta go blind an' ta shrivel into a ball of puss!"

Chichiri made a face. "Come on, everyone has sibling rivalry! I bet Tamahome had arguments with his younger brother, no da."

"My sister is an enemy ta all thing that live!" Tasuki threw his arms into the air for emphasis.

"Oh come on--" Chichiri was cut short by a loud rumbling that shook the floors. This was followed by a very loud explosion.

"What in the world?" Chichiri braced himself on a wall as the rumblings turned into the ground violently shaking.

"It's her!" Tasuki bolted down the hall, leaving a trail of dust in his wake.

^.^.^.^.^.^

"Fireball!" The red headed sorceress screamed and destroyed another section of the beautiful wall. He was not getting away, oh no. He owed her a ton of money and now he had to pay. She walked threw the inferno she created, her ruby eyes ablaze. He ran out on her once. Now that she found him he would not get away.

Ok, that's the end of chapter 1. I'm sorry this is confusing right now. I promise it will get better. Please review. I don't know if you people really enjoy it or not if you don't review.

Disclaimer: Although it would please me to no end to own either one of these lovely shows/manga/stories I don't. I am sorry to disappoint everyone who believed that Yu Watase or Hajime Kanzaka (the person that created Slayers) wrote this or, better yet, joined up to write this and then post it over the internet instead of selling it for oodles of money. I am sorry, you are mistaken. I am Melyn Tenshi. A seventeen year old otaku.
