Fushigi Yuugi Fan Fiction ❯ Man! I feel like a woman! ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

Hi people! *Melyn waves* Sorry I haven't updated for a while...(it seems I've been saying that since chapter 2...) Well, your wait is over! Here's the next chapter! I'm so hyped for this! It's about as exciting as well...stuff!

Ooh! Ooh! I was at the movie store yesterday and I saw something I want for Christmas! And if I don't get it for Christmas, Santa's getting a veeeerrry nasty letter sent by a veeerrry obsessed Fushigi Yugi fan.

I saw the Ekoden Saga! It's a pretty green box with Suzaku! I was drooling over it for ten minutes then one of the workers came by and asked if I needed any help. I told him no, I was just daydreaming about owning that. And he looked at what I had and was like "The Ekoden Saga came out!" And then we got into a very deep conversation about Fushigi Yugi (he liked Nuriko). Unfortunately, he had a girlfriend (who didn't like Fushigi Yugi or anime) so I put the box back and left the store.

*sigh* That always happens to me...Oh well, I'll wait a month and try him again. Since his girlfriend doesn't like anime and he was an otaku, that relationship won't last long...hopefully...

Oi! Wench!" Tamahome heard a familiar voice

She turned around to see who had the nerve to call her 'wench' with flaming eyes and a flaring temper. "Who do you think you--" Tamahome's scowl turned into a sly smirk. "Oh...It's you."

The man eyed her. "Do I know ya?"

The wheels in her evil mind spun furiously. She put a hand to her face and pretended to hide a giggle and a blush. "How can I not know you. Tasuki-sama talks about you all the time."

Koji smirked. "He talks 'bout me all the time?" He moved closer to the woman. "What kind of things does he tell ya?"

Tamahome put a hand on his chest and giggled again. "He talks about you so much...You are more handsome than I thought."

"Ah...um...ah.." Koji seemed to be at a loss for words "W...where's Genro?"

"I can take you to him." Tamahome dropped her arm and turned around. "Follow me."

"Miss...haven't I met ya somewhere before?"

"I don't think so."

"Ya sure? Ya look very familiar."

Tamahome gulped. "I...I guess I have that kind of face...Here's Tasuki-sama's room!" She said a bit louder than she intended.

"Thanks...I...I'll see ya later then..." Koji had a slight blush.

******

Tasuki yawned as she laid on her bed. She had thrown those damn women's cloths over the fence (much to Nuriko's dissatisfaction.) and now she lounged in her men's cloths, which were much more comfortable.

"...Here's Tasuki-sama's room!" Tamahome said from the other side of the door. What was she up to...

"Tasuki...sama..?" She said out loud. Sense when did Tama say that sorta thing about her? This was not good, whatever she was up to had a bad ending for Tasuki.

"Thanks...I...I'll see ya later then..."

Tasuki's eyes widened to the point where they would have fallen out of their sockets as her face paled. "Koji!"

She tried to leap out of bed, but got tangled in the sheets and crashed to the floor. She scrambled to the window as she heard it sliding open.

"Um...Miss," She heard Koji say as her body was halfway out. "Yer secret's safe with me.'

Tasuki didn't stay to hear what that bitch's secret was. She gave one final push with her feet and landed in the shallow pond.

*****

"My...secret..?" Tamahome squeaked. Was it possible Koji found out she was actually a he?

"Yeah." Koji smirked. "You, a lady, hanging with bandits and all...I promise I won't tell the emperor you've been hanging with my kind and give you a bad name."

"That's..." Not the answer she thought it would be. "Sweet." She turned to leave.

"Miss!" Koji called.

"Yes?"

"Genro's not in here..." Koji pointed in the room.

Damn her! Tamahome growled. She must have heard them coming. "Nuriko!" Tamahome snarled and ran in the direction of her fellow seishi's room.

"Wait!" Koji followed.

*****

Tasuki spit out the water in her mouth and made her way out of the fish pond.

"Tasuki?!" She looked up to see Nuriko and Hotohori gaping in horror at her.

"Hi. I kinda fell out my window...can I have that dress back ...like...now."

"No, but I will get you something you can ruin." Nuriko shook her head and walked off in a daze.

"Thanks!" Tasuki walked out of the pond. "Hey." She nodded a hello to the empress.

Hotohori backed a few steps back. "Don't you dare drip that dirty water on me."

Tasuki shrugged and took of her shirt to ring it out. "Will do."

"Haven't you ever heard of modesty?"

Tasuki didn't have a chance to answer as Nuriko returned with a well worn cotton dress. "Thanks!" She quickly put it on and made a mad dash away.

"What was that?" Hotohori pointed.

Nuriko shrugged. "I think she's lost her mind."

"Where is she!" Tamahome stomped up to Nuriko. "Where is Tasuki!"

Both women pointed in the direction she left in. Tamahome stormed off and was followed closely by a very confused looking bandit.

"So..." Hotohori nodded in the awkward silence they were left in. "Want to follow?"

"Sure."

******

Tasuki panicked as she heard Koji and the bitch nearing her hiding place. She had to think fast. There was no way in hell that Koji was going to find out about this.

"Tasuki-sama!" She heard Tamahome growl out.

Tasuki gulped. It was either Tama would tell him or she would. It would sound much better coming from her than Tamahome, that was for sure, but she still didn't want Koji finding out! Then it hit Tasuki like a ton of bricks. An idea that would save her ass.

Tasuki gulped and hoped Koji wouldn't see through the lie...

*****

"Tasuki!" Tamahome barked.

Koji jumped back and was prepared to arm himself against the venomous looking woman standing in front of him.

"Hi!" Tasuki bounced out of a room and ran over to the two standing there. It seemed she was doing a poor Miaka impression. (Well, Miaka when he was a she and just found a banquet of food specially made for her and her alone.) "Koji-san!" She shoved Tamahome away. "How are you!"

Koji looked more terrified now than he did three seconds earlier. "W...who are you?"

"I'm Tasuki's...twin...sister!"

"I knew he had a sister, but not a twin!" Koji smiled. "Where is Genro?"

"Out." Tasuki nodded. "He went out."

"Oh..." Koji sounded disappointed. "When will he be back miss..."

Tasuki's eyes widened. "My name is...uh...Reika...."

"Reika...I think I've heard that before..." Koji scratched his head. "Can't think of where though...Hey! When will yer bro be back?"

"Never!" Koji stepped back as the woman screamed her reply a little faster than necessary. "I mean...he went to visit the bandits and won't be back for at least two weeks."

"He went to visit us?" Koji's eye's lit up. "When did he leave?"

"This morning."

Tamahome pushed Tasuki out of the way. "No he didn't he's--" Tasuki tackled the other woman and pushed her into the wall.

"She's right. He left more like an hour ago..." Tasuki pushed her best bandit buddy (hehe...tongue twister) to the front gate. "Bye bye!" She waved. "Come back soon!" She slammed the gate in his face.

She turned and glared daggers at Tamahome, who leaned against the wall smugly. "You BITCH!" She hissed and lunged at the other girl.

As the two fought like cats, the rest of the Suzaku seishi came out to see what was going on. "Stop it!" Chichiri yelled at the two girl. "Stop acting like children, no da!"

The two continued to fight.

"Girls!" Nuriko snapped and stomped her foot on the ground.

The both stopped their catfight and looked at the pissed violet haired super strong seishi. They both had fistfuls of hair. "She started it!"

"I don't care who started it! I'm stopping it!" Nuriko glared and then realized what she had said. "Oh sweet Suzaku...I'm sounding like my mother..."

Everyone took a step back. "I think you sound like everyone's mother." Miaka forced a smile as he realized how ancient that line really must be.

"Let go of her hair." Nuriko said in her warning motherly voice that seemed to speak of the horrors that would befall them both if they didn't stop right that instant.

Both let go immediately as visions of what their mother used to do to them when they were bad filled their heads. It would be much, much worse with Nuriko as the mother giving out those spankings. (Author looks up from the computer as she realizes how bad that last line just sounded...)

"That's it!" Tasuki shouted. "I'm through with being a woman! I wanna be a man again!"

"Tasuki...we all want to go back." Hotohori said calmly.

"Speak for yourself." Nuriko snorted under her breath.

Hotohori eyed her fellow seishi. "But how do you suppose we get turned back."

Tasuki looked dumbstruck. "I uh....don't know...maybe the Seiryuu seishi had something to do with this! You know! Make us women then attack!"

"If that was what they did, they would have attacked already."

"The old lady!" Tasuki yelled out in the middle of her rant. "She could fix us!" She continued to pace and rant as the others thought of what she said.

"Taiitsukun?" Chichiri blinked. "She had a good idea. She could help us, maybe..."

"Ooh!" Tamahome snapped her fingers. "The Nyan Nyan's! They fix! They fix! They heal! They heal!" Everyone sweat-dropped at how much she sounded like the cute little healers of Mt. Taikyoku.

"We could give it a shot." Miaka agreed.

"We'll leave in the morning." Hotohori nodded.

Everyone parted ways to pack for the journey as Tasuki still stood in front of the gate and ranted about who could have turned them into women. "I've got it...My sisters did this to me! Those bitches always wanted to see me in pain." She stopped and looked around to see some of the guards looking at her like she had two heads. "Guys..?"
