Fushigi Yuugi Fan Fiction / Slayers Fan Fiction ❯ Sibling Rivalry ❯ Chapter 5

Wow! It seems people really like this story! Melyn is very happy! ^.^

Well, I just got back from my first anime con and it was so cool! People came up to me and asked to take my picture! I got lots of pictures of the Slayers and the Suzaku seven. (I'm very happy). I bought a lot of soundtracks, one of which has Hotohori singing!

*takes deep breath and calms down* OK! Back on track. I have worked more on this story, but I don't know when I will update next, I still really don't know where I am going with this. I think I will just humiliate these people until I can think of a decent plot. I hope no one minds.*evil cackle*

Well...I watched Fushigi Yugi over the weekend and talked with A LOT of people about both Slayers and Fushigi Yugi, so I got many many ways to make these people scream in frustration by the time this is over. ^.^ On with the madness!

Chapter 5

******

Nuriko smiled as he and Amelia walked down the halls of Konan palace. "Miss Amelia, Do you know where you companions would be?"

"Knowing them, the kitchen is where they all will eventually meet." Amelia sighed. "Those people have the biggest appetites you will ever see."

Nuriko laughed. "I have a friend like that!" He turned a corner and the two headed in the direction of the kitchen.

"Miss. Amelia, your country sounds facinating. I would love to know more about it." Nuriko smiled. "I would also like to know exactly how your companion mannaged to destroy our entire front gate."

Amelia laughed. "It's quite simple, Miss. Korin, you see, Miss. Lina used an attack called the 'fireball'. The attack does exactly what it sounds like it does." Amelia went on about all diffrent forms of magic as the two twisted and turned in the halls.

*****

Lina drooled at the sight in front of her. If she pawned that she could live comforably for the rest of her life.

"I bet I could buy a castle with it." Lina cackled as she ran a hand over it's smooth serface. "Forget my brother...I found something that repays all the damage he's done, with intrest!"

The sorceress looked both ways and found no one near her. She lifted her goal off it's stand and proceeded to carry it out of it's resting place.

"First I'll melt it down...then I'll make bands and rings and necklaces and other things out of it. I'll sell my rings off at high prices and make a bundle!" Lina cackled again.

*****

This day turned out to be much more stressful than Hotohori first imagined. These foreigners were much different than he imagined.

He really didn't expect them to be violent!

At least Princess Amelia told him about the one that destroyed his palace before he made a rash decision. What he did not understand was why someone would teach dangerous spells to someone as violent as that woman named Lina Inverse was beyond him.

He was grateful Nuriko took the princess to her room. All he wanted right now was a relaxing bath to sort out his thoughts.

There had to be a reason this Lina did what she did. He swore he would get to the bottom this before anything else was broken. The repairs on the wall alone were phenomenal.

Hotohori looked up in a personal ritual. It always calmed him to see the shrine of Suzaku.

He was shocked to the core at what he saw.

A short red-headed woman with practically no breasts was trying to force the golden statue of Suzaku out the door! She pulled at Suzaku's neck swearing worse than Tasuki.

"Stop that!" Hotohori screamed out, not to sure what to do. No one dared to disgrace the shrine ever, let alone try to rip the most sacred item of the shrine out by it's neck.

The woman growled and looked over at Hotohori. "What do you want?" She huffed.

Hotohori's jaw hit the floor. This had to be the most vulgar woman alive! "I want you to put the statue of Suzaku back! Do you know the punishment for disgracing the shrine of Suzaku?!"

"Let me guess. Death?" The woman scoffed. "What are you planning on doing, Pretty-Boy? Tell the emperor. I'm so scared." She snorted and went back to yanking the statue.

"I demand to know who you are."

"Lina Inverse, sorcery genus. And you are?"

"I am the emperor! Put Suzaku back now and I'll think about giving you a fast death." Hotohori growled.

"Your the..." The woman pointed at him and her jaw fell. "I uh...I...damn your hot..."

Hotohori crossed his arms over his chest. "Put Suzaku back!" He yelled louder than he intended. His voice echoed off the walls and he was quite sure even the towns people could hear his yell.

*****

Nuriko and Amelia stopped walking.

"Was that the emperor?" Amelia gasped.

Nuriko gulped. "I think it was...he never yells like that..." He gasped. "Something happened!" He took off down the hall as fast as he could in a dress with Amelia close behind him.

*****

"What was that, no da!" Chichiri poked his head out of their new hiding place in the bath house. "I think Hotohori-sama was yelling!"

"If he's yellin' dat's a bad thing!" Tasuki grabbed Chichiri and pulled him back inside the towel closet. "Lina's probably over there! Why else would he yell like dat!"

Chichiri nodded. "Your right. I don't think I've ever heard him yell like that before, no da."

Mitsukake sighed as he heard the loud outburst. Someone upset the emperor, and he wasn't dying to find out who. He'd most likely hear it later at dinner. He knew that whoever went now would be in the line of fire and he was not much of a fighter.

Besides, right this moment he had a sleeping toddler in his arms. The child finding his parents came before the emperor's troubles (but he would never admit that to the emperor himself).

"Val!" Mitsukake heard a frantic woman cry out. "Val! Where are you!?"

Mitsukake shifted the boy in his arms. "I think we found your mother."

He headed off in the direction of the woman's voice and quickly found a blond woman on the brink of tears.

"Miss." He called out to the woman in pink. "I think I found your son."

The woman gasped and ran over. "What happened?! Is he alright?! Who did this?!" She bombarded him with questions.

"Your son is alright. He just fell asleep." Mitsukake put the child in his mother's arms. "He's very sweet." The doctor smiled.

"Sweet, yes. But he is a handful." The woman laughed. "I guess boys will be boys."

Mitsukake nodded. "It was a pleasure to meet someone with that much energy. I'm Mitsukake."

"Fillia, and I bet Val has already told you his name. The other guy is Xellos."

Mitsukake looked around the hall. "What other guy?"

"Uh oh..." Fillia groaned. "Is there anywhere I can put him while I look for that namagomi."

"I could take him while you look for him." Mitsukake took back the child. "I hope everything goes well. I'll take him out to the garden. You can find us there after you find your husband."

"Thank you." Fillia called out as Mitsukake walked away and he heard her mumble under her breath. "And that namagomi will never be my husband."

Woo! Another chapter done! Finished! Over with!

*sigh* School starts up again for me next Tuesday, which kinda sucks. But it's all cool. My senior year will be a breeze. ^.^ Yes, I am a slacker and I did sign up for easy credits this last year of hell.

I'm really working hard on my stories (but you can't really tell that I have. *sob sob*) and I promise to post a whole lot more when I get a chance. Who knows when that will be though.

Disclaimer: I hate repeating myself. *sighs and rubs temples* I truly don't own Slayers or Fushigi Yugi. I do, however, own the 1st and 2nd OVA of Fushigi Yugi (not the rights) and Slayers and Slayers Next (again not the rights.) The only way I will ever make money off of these anime's is if I round up all my merchandise and sell it all in one big garage sale. And, I'm sorry, that will NEVER happen. I am very attached to my lil' plushies and trading cards and CD's and video's and whatever else I have lying around.

But, offer me an enormously ridiculous price and I might consider it.
