Fushigi Yuugi Fan Fiction ❯ Kentah Den ❯ Prologue: Spotting Visitors ( Chapter 1 )

Kentah Den

Disclaimer: I do not own Fushigi-Yuugi, any of its characters, places, or items. All I do own is the village of Kentah, its people, and Kage Nasumi.

Summary: It has been six months since the war between Khonan and Kutou ended. Tasuki and Chichiri travel with each other along the countryside of Khonan and stray near the border between their beloved country and Kutou. Stopping in a village around during the Moon Festival, they have no idea the dangers that surround them. For ever since the war between Khonan and Kutou has ended, Kutou's scattered troops wander the county-side pillaging and burning villages. And the last two seishi have just happened to stop at the next target. . .

Warning: Will contain yaoi between Chichiri and Tasuki later on.

Prologue: Spotting Visitors.

A boy in his early teens looked up from the farm work he was doing and glanced around, just waiting for the hired farm hands to look away for second. He casually brushed a strand of his cerulean away from his eyes and started edging towards the woods nearby.

Thankfully he was not noticed and he dashed away. Glad to be away from all the farm duties. The brilliant hues of orange, red, and yellow made his heart jump in excitement. This was going to be great! Summer's gone, winter soon draws near and no more plowing, or weeding in the fields to take care of!

Kage stood still to let his skin soak in the last of sun's warm pleasant rays that filtered through the branches and leaves. Winter would be dark and gloomy so he wanted to make the best out of the remaining time that he had. The shapes of swallows darted through the air still traveling further into the southern land of Khonan.

Wandering deeper into the woods, Kage halted as he heard loud boisterous singing and grinned at the words. They were thickly accented but distinguishable as the voice belted out the dirty words. He ran down to the road that led to and through his village and clambered up one of the nearby trees and waited to see who the person was. His silver-green eyes peering anxiously down the path. It wasn't often that people would come near here, well, ever since the war. But that was all over now, though the village was still left alone.

Soon Kage could see two figures walking side by side on the road, one a queer looking monk with powder blue hair that had bangs that defied gravity at the greatest extent, his face was ever-smiling and eyes were the shape of crescents. The other, the one who was doing the tavern singing had fiery orange hair and shouldered a gleaming fan.

* What a weird looking pair of travelers. Hmph, better than nothing though. * thought Kage.

Suddenly an unfortunately familiar voice echoed through the valley for everyone to hear. "KAGE NASUMI! YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW AND FINISH YOU CHORES!" . . . it was mother. Kage winced and slid down the tree and ran back to the field. It was probably worth the work tonight, after all it was the Moon Festival, and there would be foreigners here tonight.

Tasuki immediately stopped his singing his face paling and he jumped behind Chichiri and clung to the monk's shoulder like a small child. "What the fuck was that?!" demanded Tasuki.

"Probably just a mother calling a troublesome child no da, no need to worry Tasuki-kun no da." said Chichiri turning his head to look at the ex-bandit, "What's the matter na no da?"

"Hmph, women. If you were stuck ina family fulla dem you would know what I mean." snarled Tasuki brandishing his tessen.

"I don't see what the problem is Tasuki-kun no da." said Chichiri, Tasuki growled as the smile on the kitsune mask widened even further as the monk teased him.

Tasuki made to whack Chichiri on the head with his tessen, but the monk dodged it and gently rested his own shakujou lightly on Tasuki's forehead. "Yah know, it you weren't a monk an' the only one that knows de way back to Mt. Reikaku. I would kick your ketsu from one enda Khonan to another."

"Behave Tasuki-kun no da. Or else I will be passing straight through the next village and you can forget about sleeping in a bed and having another night of fish to deal with tonight no da." threatened Chichiri in a grave voice.

"Nooo! I can't live another HOUR with fish! It's just too much! And I'm missing out on some fun tonight in town cause yah know that it's the Moon Festival t'night! And…" Tasuki was cut off in his complaining be Chichiri.

"Then behave Tasuki-kun no da." smiled Chichiri removing his shakujou from Tasuki's head.

The two continued walking in silence for a while, seeming to admire the scenery until the silence was broken.

"Chichiri?" said Tasuki.

"What is it now no da?" asked Chichiri stopping and turning back to look at Tasuki.

"Annata wa baka." muttered Tasuki. Chichiri sweat-dropped and continued walking as Tasuki started ranting and cursing at him again.

So whadayah think neh? I know it's kinda slow now but it'll get better after a while. The only main couple in this fic will be Chichiri and Tasuki. They aren't `together' right now. But they will be don't worry. Kage, you'll see.

By they way you pronounce Kage `Kah-gay' in Japanese.

Question: Do you think I should use Japanese in this or Chinese. I know more Chinese than I do Japanese. Heh.

And for those of you that have read my `Dropped into Middle Earth' don't hate me please! I'll try to continue it. But writers block on it is huge! I'm really stuck.

Chichiri: * blush* You're putting me with Tasuki no da?

Fire Pendant: Why sure! Why not?

Chichiri: You do know that this is your first ever *published* yaoi fic neh na no da?

Fire Pendant: * blush * Uhhhh, yeah. But I'm doing my best! I've read plenty other ficcies and I think I can do my own now!

Well Jaa everyone!
