Fushigi Yuugi Fan Fiction ❯ Man! I feel like a woman! ❯ Chapter 5

Lalala...I really should work on this story more. I know people like it. ^.^

I don't really know where I'm going with this so suggestions on how to, you know, make the cast squirm is very much appreciated.

This is a note to Cyrida Whiteraven, yes, there is fanart! Oh joy! Right now I am working on building a website (and I've been doing this since oh, let's say Julyish...)

The process would be much easier is the guy building it would get off his lazy butt and work on it. Or maybe I could learn HTML. Either which way, I do have fanart and sometime here I will have a site to post it at.

So anyway...on with the fic!

Chapter 5

*****

The Suzaku seishi was on edge for the next week. After the 'Tamahome incident', as they now called it, all the former men (namely Hotohori and Tasuki) feared what 'it' would do to them.

Tamahome was very moody that week and her attitude changed on a dime. One minute she was happy as a clam. The next instant she was bawling over how her tea was cold. Then she became violent towards Tasuki and said some harsh comments concerning the red heads height and bust size.

Tamahome then broke down crying again and complained about cramps. Miaka handed the poor woman two pills from a bottle marked 'midol.' Tamahome soon settled down and acted somewhat normal.

"What other secrets do these woman have?" Hotohori pondered to herself. This whole experience was great for learning, but oh holy Suzaku were these woman confusing. It seemed she had learned more in the past two weeks about woman than she had known her whole life. (And some of the stuff she learned she really did not want to know.)

"Hotohori-sama." Nuriko sighed and patted the empress gently on the back. "Pray you will never know everything about women."

"Why not?"

"Trust me." Nuriko sighed. "Some of women's secrets are meant to be secrets."

"No!" Chiriko ran into the meeting room and slammed the door shut. She plopped down at the table and sulked.

The senchi stared blankly at the little girl for a few minutes. "Chiriko..?"

"What?" The seishi snapped and glared at them.

"Uh...it's nothing, Chiriko..." Nuriko waved it off.

"Then why are you staring." She growled. The look on her face could have sent the all of the Mt. Reikaku bandits running for the hills.

"What's wit her?" Tasuki whispered to Hotohori.

The empress shrugged. "I don't know." She whispered back. "Maybe Chiriko is just in a bad mood today."

"You're talking about me, aren't you..." Chiriko's eyes swelled with tears. "Why are you being so mean to me? What did I do?"

"No no!" Miaka leaped to the little girl and wrapped her in a hug. "They were not saying things about you! They were discussing...Kuto!"

"Really?" Chiriko wiped away her tears. "Do you mean it?"

Miaka nodded. "While were planning this, you go and study, alright?"

Chiriko smiled. "Alright! I'll see you later!" She almost bounced out of the room and hummed a happy tune.

Everyone let out the breath they did not realize they were holding. "What was that?"

"My cousin is thirteen right now and she is a real pain." Miaka sighed. "Mood swings galore. Hormones are way outta whack at that age."

"So Chiriko is gonna be like dat everyday?!" Tasuki groaned. "And I thought dat one week thing was bad."

Miaka nodded. "I'm afraid so."

Everyone groaned and simultaneously slammed their heads into the table. This would be a long adventure...

The Kuto place felt the rage of Nakago since the episode with the guards. Soi and Yui stayed the furthest away from the shogun, even if he had nothing against them for the time being. Amiboshi and Suboshi hung out in their room and did not come out for anything. Tomo just kept away. She knew her presence around Nakago at this time would cause a major disaster, mainly to herself. Besides, she always had Shin if she needed company.

"Yui-sama?" Suboshi watched as the priest(ess) of Seiryuu entered the twin's room.

"Hi." Yui sat on Suboshi's bed. "I was board. How are you?"

"Good." Suboshi sighed. "How mad is Nakago-sama?"

"Um...let's wait a few more day's before talking to her..." Yui sighed. "Did you know that most of the guards tried to call in sick this week? It didn't work and all of them are here."

"Too bad for them." Amiboshi cracked a smile.

"Look, I need to go past Nakago's room..."

I'm not going there!" The twins yelled in unison.

"Please?"

Suboshi gulped. "Nakago's really angry..."

"Please..."

"What do you need beyond her room anyway?" Amiboshi eyed her priest(ess).

"I left my little blue bag in there the other day. I want it back."

"No way! I'm not doing it! Going past her room is one thing, entering it is a death wish."

"Just stand outside of her room." Yui hissed. "She's out right now making sure everyone is in their place."

"Alright." Suboshi sighed. "We'll do it."

"We?! Where does this 'we' fit in here?! I did not agree to do this." Amiboshi folded her arms across her chest and glared.

*****

"I really hate you for this." Amiboshi growled at her twin. The two stood outside Nakago's room and watched for the shogun to return.

After ten minutes (which seemed like an eternity) Yui exited the room, his blue bag in hand. "Let's go..." He whispered.

The trio crept around a corner and came face to face with Nakago.

"Uh... Hello Nakago..." Yui forced a smiled. "How are you?"

Nakago glowered. "Why are you here? The twins have no reason to be down here."

The twins began to pray for their immortal souls.

"Um...we were going to take Ashitare on a walk." Oh, that was probably the worst lie ever. "He...she has been locked up for so long I thought it would be a good idea to--"

Nakago glared. "That would be dangerous to do, Yui-sama."

"Y...your right. I'm sorry." Yui pushed the twins away. "Well, I guess I'll see you later."

"Yui-sama."

The priest(ess) stopped in her tracks and faced the pissed woman. "Yes?" He squeaked

"Next time ask before entering my quarters."

"Sorry!" Yui, Suboshi and Amiboshi were thankful the shogun was not too angry at them. Sure she wouldn't do anything to Yui, but the twins were quite a different story.

Maybe they would stay in their room just a bit longer than they originally planed...

*Yawn* Melyn is tired and has a big report due tomorrow. That is not a good combination. Anyway...Review. Melyn likes to read reviews.

Now to start that report....

Disclaimer: I am not Yu Watase. I will never be Yu Watase. I'm sorry to disappoint all of you loyal readers who think that I am Yu Watase, because I am not her. She lives in Japan and I live in Minnesota. She has money. I am broke. She is worshiped by fans from across the globe. I am worshiped at my school for my knowledge of amine. As you can see, we are two different people. She makes money off of Fushigi Yugi. I make diddly-squat at my work, which has nothing to do with Fushigi Yugi.

Thank you for your time.
