Dear Suzaku Seishi,

I really dont know what I should do, guys help me please!! Well its my birthday on May 30 and I plan to go to rockwell (a mall) with my best friends but on May 30, one of them cant go from May 26 to 30 actually, so as on May 31 another one cant go until June 5 and so I plan it on May 25 because my brother's band is going to play with a celebrity named Sam Milby, but my other best friend cant go on May 25!! We're 6 and 5 of us, including me, thinks May 25 is a great day since the band and all. But how will I deal with this? Please help me!!

Anime101

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Awww the show ends today (even if I watched it a lot of times already, still..) Im sooo upset. I dont know when I would watch it again... I mean it has been 3 years the laaaaast time I watched it still, Im sooo upset but happy to see the last episode again. I cant record it coz I dont have a recorder, i mean, its broken anyways. *sobbing silently in a corner*

Jamie May

Dear Mitsukake,

*walks in and sits on a chair* Mitsukake I have a problem, you see... my appetites changed drastically in the past few months, I used to eat regular meals (you know the 3 meals a day stuff) they were well portioned not overly sized meals and stuff but lately I dont really eat much at all, infact when I look at or even smell food I feel like I'm going to be sick. And I find myself being restless, like I have to be constantly running or something, I exercised regularly but for some reason I have to be in constant motion. I dont know if that sounds stupid but thats how I feel right now, maybe you can help? *smiles sadly as if a plead for help*

Kaya

Dear Hotohori,

InuYasha: *scratches the back of his head* I dont think shes mad at Suzaku more or less she's mad at Seiryu... maybe she thinks the gods are all in it together...

Seiryu is such a pathetic god, he hates everything and he's the god of battle look at how much devastation was caused by him.. *reveals a mirror flashing back to the war for a quick second and puts the mirror away*

Boushin: that all happened because of him?

I dont know all the details but... I blame that dragon for a lot... *unties the silk scarf she had on and turns around and pulls her kimono down to show 5 dragon claw marks on her back and pulls her kimono back up and pulls InuYasha's robes to reveal that same mark on his back* Sesshomaru has it aswell...

Boushin: but why would he do such a thing?

Kaya, InuYasha and Boushin

Dear Chichiri,

Well I'm still a bit angry with her and I don't feel much like talking right now. Maybe we do need some time apart... though I'm bored t' death because I aint as close with any of my other friends. *sigh* Oh well... this is just a life lesson I'll have to endure. Growin' up can be tough sometimes, ne?

*giggles* Glad ya like m' work! I'd have more Tasku pics, but I always find him more difficult to draw. More practice then I guess. Heheh.

Suiren

Dear Tasuki,

Shun'u: Well at least I like women and can openly express my feelin's fer 'em!!

Murin: Yer 13, ya ain't ready fer love. I'm 16 an' I still ain't interested.

Shun'u: Oh really? Hyourui seems to be snugglin' up t' ya quite nicely.

Murin: So long as he doesn't go crazy I'm willin' t' give the creep a chance.

Yuuen: Aw, don't be so mean to 'im. Hyourui really loves you Murin-san.

Murin: Che, he can love me all he want, don't mean I'll ever be interested.

Shun'u: Ya slept with 'im an' yer still sayin' that?

Murin *growls* I HAVEN'T AND YOU KNOW IT!!

Kyuuen: Hehehehe, oi Aneki, I think ya do like 'im. Ya wouldn't make such a fuss if he meant nothin' t' ya! I'm gonna go find 'im!! *runs off*

Murin: Don't you DARE!! *takes after Kyuuen*

Shun'u II, Murin, Yuuen, and Kyuuen

Dear Chichiri,

*Smiles* Glad to hear it. Though it'll be a bit before I have a copy in my hands (hopefully it'll be BEFORE the end of the school year..) But yeah, I haven't listened to the orchestra performance yet so I'm really excited to hear that one! Though my arm was REALLY bothering me yesterday! All the way from my shoulder down to my fingers it was horrible! D*MN NERVE!! I dunno what I've done either to get it all worked up either! Only thing I can think of is when I hurt it again when I played my Frumpet but that was a while ago! ARGHITY GRR ON IT! Lol, last Friday after Big 9 I was over at my friends house for a while and I was just headin' home and I was bein' a baka and I was running in my high heeled shoes (not the hard High heels to walk in.. lol) and I was trying to get to the van cause it was chippy out that day and I hurt my leg... lol. I laugh because I was being and idrio when I hurt it heheh. But I finished another music video this weekend! I have way too much fun making those but I'd say I'm pretty good at 'em ^^ Ah well.

Last night I was in the living room with my dad and sister (mom's away til tomorrow) but it was storming out and we were all watching 24 (AWESOME SHOW!) and I look out the window and I was lightning hit the bluff! It was so cool!! Then it was weird cause while we were watching 24, the rain would like go harder at the more intense parts! It was actually rather creepy heheh. Hey, have you ever watched or read something called "A Rose for Emily"? THAT is a VERY creepy story... But yeah... Well it's about 20 after I should go get ready... need to leave in a half hour (Though I only take like 15 minutes to get ready... -_-) Have a good day Chichiri

Yuri

Dear Tasuki,

How utterly adorable, Gen-chan! I never knew that a rough and tumble bandit could blush so becomingly!

I'm relieved to know I won't be flamed for daring to hug you, and that the sake is well recieved. I've heard of your affection for the firey brew and, with your temperment, find it a suitable match. Oh. I just noticed I called you 'Gen-chan', is that alright? If it's too forward I will refrain from calling you that and endevor to call you Genrou instead.

You are too cute when you blush and if that is the reaction I get when I hug you I shall have to do so more often. /sparkeling smile/

Your friend,

Celeste

Dear Hotohori,

smiles thanks ^^

lily

Dear Tasuki,

... hm... are you oen of these bandits? or one of the Mt.Reikaku bandits? ... im looking for them... and i cant turn back and go home... i haev know parents... they... died... in the war... *starts crying*

lady taki

Dear Hotohori,

*fumes* because they look down on half demons... *turns SD and runs about screaming* why that good for nothing vulture!! *sticks her tongue out at the statue* I dont need you.. you filthy bird... *hmpfs and walks out to go sit by the lake*

InuYasha: *ears go back slightly and smiles* shes so protective of me.. dont know why? o.o

Boushin: so... shes gonna be mad at Suzaku for awhile?

InuYasha: Looks that way...

InuYasha and Boushin

Dear Tasuki,

weird... maybe... ahh... My shin splints are finally going away... ^^

Faye

Dear Tasuki,

Genrou, I'm not leaving. /sparkeling smile/ (I must have inherited that from my cousin ^_^) I was just ending my last letter to you. I'm sorry for the confusion.

One bottle of sake is hardly enough, so I am having one of my servants bring you a crate of our finest sake. I think twenty-five bottles will go a long way in repaying you for your kindness and friendship. I still think it's hardly enough but if you insist, I have no right to tell you no. I did say to name your repayment and you did. I am content.

Please don't think me forward but, I have to hug you. It's a female thing. /Hugs him quickly and steps back/ There, now all I have to worry about is if you, or the fangirls, are going to flame me or not. I suppose I would deserve it for being so presumptious as to make you hug someone you don't know very well.

Your friend,

Lady Celeste

Dear Chichiri,

::grumbles:: Yeah, I know. ::grumbles again::

Kouji-kun

Dear Tasuki,

::grumbles but shuts up::

Kouji-kun

Dear Tasuki,

I was refering to the sweet way you took care of Celeste when she fainted, baka. *grins*

I'm glad that you didn't die of embarassment after the towel whack pic, but it really makes me grin to know that CnA liked it. *evil smirk* Glad that you guys are back! *glomps everyone* Ganbatte kudasai, Miss CnA!

Miaka-chan

Dear Chichiri,

Hai, and I got to listen to what we had played on Friday and we were SOOOO flippin' good! I can't wait to get a recording and have them up on the internet for you guys to listen to! ^_^

Yuri

Dear Tasuki,

Shun'u *gasping for breath*

Kyuuen: Who's the best baka onii-cha~an?

Shun'u *gasping* Y-You!!

Kyuuen *lets him go*

Rouen *chuckles* Kawaii.

Yuuen: Shun'u-chan, make sure you hurry up so you can come down to Souun with me an' Rouen!

Rouen: Yeah, if not... I'll have the whole afternoon with Yuu-chan. *puts an arm around her*

Shun'u *flusters* Don't you even think about snugglin' close t' MY GIRL!!

Kyuuen: Shun'u and Yuuen sittin' in a tree...

Shun'u *blushes brighter* URUSAI!!

Yuuen *giggles*

Kyuuen, Shun'u II, Rouen, and Yuuen

Dear Chichiri,

... um... maybe I was in a rush this morning when I typed that letter... and forgot the link... but I'm sure I... *thinks* Oh well, let's try it again.

OH! And the reason why I wrote in about dumpin' a friend... I've been really p*ssed at Yuri for a while. She doesn't talk to me and it seems like she's been ignoring me. I've been on edge for the past week, but still... I felt this way fer a while. Usually I like it when others pay no mind to me, but it hurts when friends do it. *sigh* And when are they gonna figure out that I don't like Avatar as much as they do? It's ok. I no longer say it's stupid. And they can like German as much as they want but give it a break. I love Spanish but I don't go around blabbin' it all the live long day. Anyways... as of right now I feel like a lil b*tch and I guess by all rights I should. I'm still mad at her for being so cold to me and the excuses she gave were kinda pathetic. *sigh again*

I need a nice long vacation... but school's out June 1 and then I gotta go to summer school and get a job... why doesn't someone just kill me right now? I just wanna relax... my body can't take this much more... I think I'm getting sick again.

Suiren

Dear Hotohori,

*still death glaring the statue* its a VERY evil bird - -+ *has a stronger vendetta for Seiryu though* the gods..they think they can just push us around...I'd like that parakeet to pop out of his statue so I can give him a peice of my miond...

InuYasha: *stifles a laugh* Kaya your too much..

Boushin: Suzaku's a parakeet?

InuYasha: I dont think so but then again she called Seiryu a little maggot o.o;;

InuYasha, Kaya and Boushin

Dear Tasuki,

Genrou, you are too kind.

If you believe that it would be best for another bandit or Miss Aidou to care for him, then I must accept your decision. Please let me make it up to you somehow. I've caused too much trouble around here to let things go. I feel the need to repay all of your, and everyone else's, kindness.

Name your repayment. Whatever you ask for, I shall endevor to give you. I know you will try to wave this offer away but I must insist. I am in your debt and I always repay my debts. I've imposed on your time and been the root cause of problems, I must make recompense.

That said, I shall take my leave. You all must be tired having to reply to so many letters.

Thank you for your time,

Lady Celeste of Devonshire

Dear Chichiri,

I can't give ya each individual link, that'd take too long. SO here's my gallery. There's 10 pics in the Family Portrait series. They were all added May 5. And Hyou's glad your happy for him.

Suiren

Dear Tasuki,

Kyuuen *snickers*

Shun'u: URUSAI BAKA IMOUTO!!

Kyuuen: What was that?! *pounces on him and starts brawling*

Murin: OI! We got no time to mess around.

Kyouen: Onee-san, onegai...

Kyuuen: I'm killin' 'im this time!

Shun'u *in a choke hold*

Ryuuen: Why god? Why? I don't deserve this...

Kyuuen, Shun'u II, Murin, Kyouen, and Ryuuen

Dear Chichiri,

I did have a wonderful time... I played my heart out... And I even heard word that the Orchestra judge said that Winona was the best so... that's good news. It was weird playing at 8:30 though... lol but I'm getting a cd so as soon as I get that I'll post a couple of the songs up for you all to hear.. other than that... I need to get ready for school.. have a good day..

Yuri

Dear Tasuki,

Heh.. I'm having a great time... The show's been going really well.

I had such a weird dream last night!! So my not-boyfriend (the one from a long time ago) my third grade crush and a guy friend all thoguht they were engaged to me. And was flattered, but also terrified!! I'm not old enough for that!! So my not boyfriend was like. "You can move to where my college is!!" And I was all sad bacause all of my friends are HERE!! And then my third grade crush was like. "I'll take CARE of you!!" He was really sweet, and I should've chosen him... Then for some reason I chose my guy friend.

My dream skipped the wedding and all that. At this point, I guess I dropped out of shcool and I was living in an apartment... So my guy friend comes home, and he's a little nervous, and he looks at me and says. "So are you ready to have kids?" And I flipped out, and he got really mad, then I woke up... WHAT DOES IT MEAN?! TELL MEEEEEE!!

Question. Am I considered a "b*tch" if I totally just blow up and cancel a friendship on someone? I have a feeling the answer is "yes" but I need a lil advice from you.

Suiren

Dear Tasuki,

InuYasha: *looks over at her again* eh I guess you can say that...

Boushin: can you kill a god?

*from the shrine* its been done...

InuYasha, Kaya, and Boushin

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Hey Suzaku Seishi!

It's been forever, ne? Probably don't remember me much, since it's nearly been a decade since we last spoke. Things have changed a lot for me - I'm no longer in junior high, but graphic design college, I'm engaged to a wonderful man whom I've gotten into your epic stories... and I'm turning 22 soon! X_x I feel so old.

I'm working on putting up new Fushigi Yuugi sites based off of my old ones, but need to collect information and images and stuff. I've got a few websites right now, but it's for my artwork which has been my main source of income to live! Thank goodness I practised drawing you all so often, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am now!

On to the questions though...

My fiance has been asking many questions about all of you lately, and that's when I pulled up this link to show him. So he asks:

1. Why does Tasuki like wolves? "Not that I've ever had a problem with that..." He's always been into wolves and he's a better artist then I am when it comes to wolfy stuff.

2. "When one of the Gods is called, is that the end? Or is there an oppurtunity for a second miko to start their own story and have their wishes granted?" The story couldn't just be over, right? There couldn't be no more adventures! Whenever the countries fall into desperation, a miko will appear right? So that would mean that if a war were ever threatening again, a second miko could appear, right?

3. What exactly are Hotohori's seishi powers? "Besides being beautiful, is it protection? Is it fighting in the name of protection? ...and tell him I really like the colour of his hair."

And finally, I have a question...

What ever happened to that love struck little anonymous man who fell in love with Hotohori on Mt. Reikaku?

Hey Tasuki? Didja' miss me? Now I'm old enough and of age - we should go drinking some time! ^_^

Kaori

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Thanks very much for replying! I was ecstastic when you guys replied! Thanks for replying one by one for what food you like and what song/s you guys like too! But Fushigi Yuugi/Curious Play would end on May 9... Oh well, Ill just see you guys and send letters throught the internet then! Guys, I really wanna go to Japan, but, my dad says its too hard to get a Visa there., Oh well., hehehe ^_^ What do you think of this? : "Life Leads you to whatever things that sometimes you dont even expect in Life. That makes it Life. We all have to go through it but no matter what, God is with us." Please tell me what you think guys! ^_^ Thanks!

Jamie May

Dear Tasuki,

Watzup Tasuki? *sings*: Pump it by black eyed peas. "Just pump it! Pump it" *Dances around the room like an idiot!* Tasuki!!! Join the dancing fun!!

Animeness101

Dear Tasuki,

*his head swims as he wakes up* Wha? *glares at the ropes holding him to the bed* What th'... Who's th' hentai what decided ta tie me up?! Last thing I remember was you gettin' in my way an' then Aidou wringin' my neck!

*looks around frantically* Where'd she go? Where's Celeste!? What didja do wit 'er!?

Lemme up! I gotta find 'er! No tellin' what happened to 'er! LEMME UP!

*strains against the ropes*

CELESTE! Where didja go, hon? CELESTE!

Ya gotta let me go, bro! I gotta find 'er!

Kouji-kun

Dear Tasuki,

u dont think im like u.... do u?...

angela

Dear Nuriko,

ooo... she noes... im finished wiht hotohori's novel (its was very very sad...) so im starting tasuki's novel now... and maybe also urs too!

angela

Dear Tasuki,

Genrou, I am utterly mortified! I can not believe I fainted! I've never fainted in my life, granted I've never been kissed quite that deeply before either.

I'm sure you could tell I was startled and confused when he... did what he did. As surprised, shocked, and amazed as I was I didn't expect him to be beaten quite as badly as he was. I feel a bit responsible for getting him in such trouble so, when he has recovered from being possessed, I will volunteer to tend his wounds.

Mistress Miaka-chan said that he was possessed /again/, I am curious. When was he possessed before and how did you find out he /was/ in fact possessed? Will Master Mage be able to save him?

I feel I must retract a statement I made in an earlier letter; Miss Aidou isn't the sweet girl I had thought. She was down right frightening! I didn't know that a woman could lift and /throw/ a full grown male, especially one as solidly built as Kouji. Is she always like that or only when she's angry?

One last thing to mention before I go...

I am /so/ sorry that you had to care for me. I had not intended to become a burden or be as helpless as I seemed. Gomen nasai, Genrou-san. /drops to her knees at his feet and touches her forehead to the floor in abject submission/ Forgive me, Genrou-san.

Your Friend,

Lady Celeste

Dear Hotohori,

That's nice. I know what you mean by having busy weeks.. This week has been one of them for me heheh. But I can't say much at the moment, I've got work that I need to do so I will talk to you later! *hugs*

Yuri

Dear Tasuki,

So... Your sisters would beat ya and stuff when you were younger, huh? That means you got beat up by girls! +points and laughs+ HA HA HA HA. 8DDD

Ahhh, just the mental image of little schoolgirls attacking you is hilarious!

8D You're still kinda cool, though.

nikkori

Dear Chichiri,

I know Chichiri... I know... But Big 9 is tomorrow and I can't wait! Sure I have to get up earlier but that's alright. It'll be worth it! The performance last night was beautiful! From the Orchestra, Choir AND Band! WHOO! But I am so ready to do this! I've been working a long time for this! OH! Did you know that this Big 9 Conference thing is the Longest running school band thinger in the United States? It's the 74th annual one this year! I'll get to participate in the 75th one! WHOO! And 76th! Four years of it! Not too often someone gets to do that! And what's better about this year, I'm in the orchestra too! And what the orchestra teacher said is we're one of the best orchestra's out of the 10 schools! So WHOO! *Brings French horn out and just starts cleaning it* Need it to be all pretty for tomorrow!! Well I must get going, I shall talk to you tomorrow!! *BIG hug and smiles*

Yuri

Dear Tasuki,

*hugs him* You are too sweet! Celeste is right! You are a sweet and kind guy, *pinches his cheeks* How KAWAII!

*lets go and wanders back to her fics*

Miaka-chan

Dear Chichiri,

*guffaws loudly* It didn't even cross my mind until you said something! *laughs harder* Sounds like you were letting your thoughts drift to the hentai side. *grins and wipes tears of laughter out of her eyes* Sorry, 'Chiri. Ya know I love to pick on you, and you just left it far too opne for me to pass up!

So, you going to be able to fix Kouji up? I sure hope so, Celeste hasn't woak up yet as far as I can tell. Tasuki thinks Kouji frightened her to death. I think she died of over stimulation. She leads a real cooped up life from what I've read so far, so she probably hasn't been touched too much. Heh, Kouji probably sent her in to sensory overload! That's most likely why she fainted.

*shrugs and looks down at the bound Kouji* Think he's gonna have brain damage? Aidou sure strangled him a long time...

Miaka-chan

Dear Chichiri,

Okay so the epilogue is nothing fancy. Just some closing lines and a retired Tasuki lazin' around by Suiren's grave, noticing the flowers blooming around it and smiling.

Hyou's never entirely happy though. Suiren gave her life for his when she didn't neeed too, so he carries that guilt with him for a while. He's fully healed though and living contentively with Murin and his two sons.

Hehe... I'll get the Family Photo Album up on my deviant account soon so you can see everyone. ^^

Suiren

Dear Tasuki,

Murin *cleanin' an' complainin' at the same time* What ever happened to being "daddy's little girl?"

Shun'u: Little girl grew up into big b*tch.

Murin *dunks his head in his bucket and holds him under for a few seconds*

Ryuuen: It's not fair that I have to do this! I never even did anything wrong! I keep my room clean, I train vigorously, AND i find time to take care of my younger siblings!!

Shun'u *coughs a lil* Any other time he just ignores us! It's only when we get in trouble!

Kyuuen *peaks her head in and giggles* I knew it! Oi, minna! Come see what the "high and mighty" are doing!!

Shun'u: KYUUEN?!

Kyuuen *grins and lets Rouen, Shosei, Yuuen, Kyouen, Doukun, Hyourui, and Kouran see what they've been reduced too*

Murin, Shun'u II, and Ryuuen and the rest of 'em

Dear Hotohori,

OKi doki! I'll get the link to ya as soon as I can get it uploaded... my computer is being stupid... argh... BUT!! The concert last night was AWESOME!! There was even a tv crew there!! I so can't wait until tomorrow now!!!! Sure i may not be able to sleep in on a Friday that the HIGH school gets off (NO other school gets off tomorrow lol) but yeah, still up around 7 and I need to be at school at about 7:50... close to that anyway. Heheheh. okay I wish Jess woulda stayed in the shower.. *sighs* We've been getting along pretty good actualy... though she's getting on my nerves again.. Oh well! That still doesn't ruin the night I had! Sure I fumbled with a couple little things but I played like I never had before! Heheh, I just need to work on playing a high D# and a high D. Other than that I think all I'd need to check is me high eb Other than that I think I'm good.

Dear Tasuki,

*grins at him and flashes another pic* Don't worry, this one ain't bad. It's a sorta self portrait, from the fic you guys were helping me with.

*grins* It's called "Miaka Waiting" be sure to let me know how bad it sucked. Please forgive the smudges and lined paper. Had nothing else to draw on today. U_U;

*wanders back to her fic*

Miaka

Dear Chichiri,

Okay then. Volume 9.

Hakurei is spending quality with Suiren. He ends up asking why she looks so young and in secrecy, she agrees to tell him. So long as the forest she's born in is healthy and alive, she'll stay that way. So basically she has a kind of immortality. She won't die so long as no illness or wounds infect her. Hakurei's amazed and asks if his blood is like that. Sadly no. He's got only 1/8 of the Ka blood. Suiren's got only 1/2 herself, but after it thins out a little more it's just blood and nothing more.

So Hakurei goes off thinking about life and death and all that good stuff. He stops in to visit his lil cousins at Reikaku-zan as well as pick up Soutoku and then they head for home, Haki-chan carrying Toki-chan on his shoulders.

Suiren does one of those sad smiles then perks up, going back to work an' stuff. Tasuki got some free time, so i put 'em in a deep conversation.

Tasuki: Heh, "immortal?"

Suiren: Well have I aged a day since we married?

Tasuki: Uh... not really. But you shouldn't lie to him Sui-chan. We both know... you already know when you're gonna die.

Yeah. Another one of those tribe things. So that bodies don't get so old and weak, they're kept young for 50 years. They're lives are short, but they're able to do more. So Suiren's gonna die in about 2 more years. She's only told Tasuki, Chichiri, Chouyui, Miiren, Kouji, and Kinhou about this.

The basic theme for this volume is life and death btw.

Okay, we got some smaller scenes with some of the other familes. It aint relevant, but even minor character deserve scenes.

So down in Taitou we got Murin, Hyourui, Hakurei, and Soutoku all having a lil family moment. Hyourui hasn't really been himself, but he's all the sudden getting sick. Only he hasn't told anyone and doesn't plan on it. He figures it's just some sort of weird illness and sooner or later one of his drugs will end up curing it. But it doesn't.

We go through a lotta flashbacks with him coming home to Murin and meeting Hakurei. And he's so happy. Then being their for his little sister when she tried to the same spell Chichiri used to make him. So he's close with his niece Amaya. And then of course how he made another miracle baby with Murin. Then teaching his sons how to fish an' cute lil stuff like that.

But even before all that, we have a cute lil scene where he calls Kinhou "haha-ue" for the first time, finally acknowlegding her as his mother. Aw. Chichiri just becomes to overwhelmed with joy he hugs Hyou for the longest time.

A lotta memories just start playing like a slip show in his mind.

Okay... then he goes and makes yet one more memory with Murin if ya know what I mean.

Next up we got to a family reunion where I have all the characters together!! YAY!!

Lemme gimme a brief descrip' of each grandkid.

So all is going well wtih reunion until Hyourui all the sudden passes out and low an' behold, he's dying due to the drugs he used to take long ago. They still were able to damage his body enough to collapse his lungs and mess up his brain so Chichiri, Kyouen, and Tasuki are all trying to help him!

Murin's breaking down into tears and Haki and Toki are just clinging to her, themselves in tears. Suiren gives another sad smile as she looks at her daugher and grandsons, then goes over to Hyou, pushing aside everyone else.

She looks back at Tasuki and lets him know what she's gonna do via eye contact. Beofre he can say anything to stop her, she's conjuring her vines and they're sucking up the last bits of her ki and giving it to Hyourui. And he wakes up! All better and everyone is happy. Even Suiren, who's barely clinging to her life now.

Beautiful. 'Course we never find out the answer. Tasuki never openly admiting to loving anyone. Sure he got married and had kids, but ya never really know if there was any real love. So I guess the real Tasuki would know the answer, it's not for me to decide. Though I think it's be something like "yes, it was horrible living with alla ya, but there was never a dull moment" or something like that.

The story began with Suiren's life so I guess it's only fitting to end it where her life ends. Life went on for all the others though. I imagine Tasuki and Chichiri would of died very old, probably able to be triple great grandfathers 'er somethin'. There is a short epilogue, but that'll be next letter.

SO. It's basically over now I guess. What do ya think?

Suiren

Dear Hotohori,

Houki: *smiles with Boushin wrapped around her arms, wearing an exquisite ball gown* Daarin, otanjoubiomedetougozaimasu... *looks at Boushin* Go on, Boushin, tell your father a happy birthday.

Boushin: *blinks and looks at his mother before looking at Belldandy and Skuld*

Belldandy: *nods encouragingly*

Boushin: *smiles cutely and turns to Hotohori* otanjoubiomedetougozaimasu chichi!

Belldandy: Oh goodness... the preparations should start soon *bows honorably to Hotohori and Houki* Please excuse me! *quickly leaves*

Skuld: ^_~ I wish to compliment to all of you. You seem to be such a beautiful family. *holds out her hand to Boushin* not to mention that your son is very adorable.

Boushin: *grins and takes hold of Skuld's hand*

Houki: *smiles sincerely* Would you see to Boushin for awhile? You may take him to the games if you wish.

Skuld: *brightens up* Really? Sure! Of course! *takes Boushin and straddles him close to her*

Houki: *turns to Hotohori* Daarin, shall we proceed to a dance?

Belldandy, Skuld, Houki, and Boushin

Dear Nuriko,

that is so cool that u knew each other! i told michelle and she couldn't believe it! lol

angela

Dear Tasuki,

fine... then can i read ur novel??? cuz i cant open the site and its in spanish or french!

angela

Dear Chichiri,

*grabs his arm and drags him to Kouji's room, explaining things along the way* He's gotta still be possessed! He's been acting really strange again and this time he kidnapped Miss Celeste! Locked her in his room with him and Tasuki had ta break the door down. Would you do that de-demon-izing thing again? Poor Celeste is probably mortified and Aidou's killing Kouji.

*pushes him gently in to the room* There he is against that wall, fix him please?

Miaka-chan

Dear Tasuki,

Goodness! I've never been kissed like that in my life! He put his tongue in my mouth, he wasn't supposed to do that. /covers her mouth/

Now I am confused; is kissing like that supposed to be so... er, tingly? Surely not, right? It's not supposed to feel that good, I mean like that right?

Please excuse me, I think I need to lay down. My heart is beating so fast I fear I may pass out!

/slumps gracefully to the floor/

Lady Celeste

Dear Tasuki,

O_O; Ya did WHAT?! D@MN*T! ::grabs Celeste and dashes out the door before his killer can show up::

She's mine!

She may'a come 'ere 'cause a you, but she's leavin' wit me! ::holds Celeste closer and growls at Tasuki:: Back off!

Kouji-kun

Dear Tasuki,

*Aidou and Miaka-chan rush up*

Aidou: WHAT THE H3LL IS GOING ON!? *latches on to Kouji and begins strangeling him*

Miaka-chan: *goes over and grabs Lady Celeste* Are you alright? He didn't hurt you did he?

*pulls Celeste in to the hall, leaving Aidou to kill Kouji* Be sure ta kill him once for me, Aidou!

Aidou: *grins down at the blue faced Kouji* Oh, I'll kill him a few times. Maybe he won't try anything this stupid again. *looks at Tasuki* You really need to keep a better eye on your friends, Shun'u. Miaka-chan told me that he's been acting strange lately and that she thinks he's possessed. YOU HAVE A MONK HERE! WHY, IN THE NAME OF THE GODS, DIDN"T YOU HAVE HIM FIX THIS! *throws unconcious Kouji at Tasuki*

Miaka-chan: *shudders and is silently grateful that she's not the one getting yelled at*

Aidou and Miaka-chan

Dear Tasuki,

*searches thru other drawings* Hmm... dont really much more... gomen ne . . . it's getting harder t' hold up a conversation with ya. I have nothing more t' talk about really. At least I don't think I do... no, don't think so. My toe isn't hurting, but there's a lovely little hole in it *sigh* So... anou... *thinks* Uh... you got any ideas?

Suiren

Dear Tasuki,

Okay, here's our answer "**** off."

*they attempt to run away*

Murin, Shun'u II, and Ryuuen

Dear Chichiri,

I'd uh... rather not talk about it...

Yuri

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

I've come to my senses and I know know, you guys are gonna be my close friends! Since my friend is leaving you really helped me cheer up and I see you almost everyday in animax even and write here too, so youg guys are my close friends now! Is it OK with you guys? Hope you accept. Love you all! You guys are the best!

Jamie May

Dear Chichiri,

Hyourui doesn't truely get a happy ending. Like I said, plot twist. So it's nearly 15 years later. Everyone's set up into a cozy lil life.

Hyourui and Murin have 2 sons, Hakurei and Soutoku and run a small farm in Taitou. Hyourui sells his perfumes and potions every other day.

Shun'u and Yuuen got a place in Souun and manage an inn together with their 4 kids. Shunsei, Ryuuan, Kairin, and Raisei. Shun'u's cooking has surpassed Suiren's and he's a total success.

Rouen and Kyouen never really get married, but they have 3 daughters, Houka, Miu, and Takiga. Rouen's a strategic planner and martial arts trainer for the bandits while Kyouen is somewhat of a nurse, when her own medical problems aren't infereing.

Ryuuen, never getting into a relationship, focuses all his time apprenticing under Tasuki who's now 50 years old and still young. He prides himself primarly with being Kagetsu's caretaker.

And then there's Doukun. He got a lot of cr*p from Shun'u for marrying Shosei, since she's four years older than him. But they so deeply in love with each other and the stars, it's their common ground. They have two kids. Houshin and Tenkei.

And lastly Kouran. She's on her own as of right now. But she has a daughter of her own. Made the same way Chichiri made Hikou Hyourui. Her name is Amaya, because she was born on a rainy night. Duh. Heheh. ^^

And Tasuki and Suiren are surprisingly still together. Both don't look like they're aging though. The only thing I have to show their age is that Tasuki's hair is really long and he's got a bit of a beard. Suiren's... well I really haven't changed her much! And there is an explanation for that.

Chichiri and Kinhou are oh so crazy about each other. Kinhou's still young, but Chichiri's starting to show his age. (Chichiri: A wrinkle?! NO!!) But not that badly.

Kouji is doin' good. He's got both Miiren and Aidou lookin' after him so he's a happy man.

Chouyui and Beika still pretty much doing the same thing.

And now the final chapter... yourself.

Suiren

Dear Tasuki,

::grabs Celeste and kisses her:: Mmmm, ya sure do taste good. ::kisses her again and lets his hands roam over her back:: Feel good, too. ::drags her back to Reikaku and locks them in his room::

Kouji-kun

Dear Tasuki,

*bonks his head* So was I, aho! And people call ME dense! Men! Can't live with 'em, can't chop off the parts ya wanna keep and toss the rest. Life is so unfair. LMAO!

Miaka

Dear Chichiri,

*breaks into tears* Why are you so mean to me?! WHAAAAA!!

Hyourui

Dear Tasuki,

NANI?! NO FAIR!!

Murin, Shun'u II, and Ryuuen

Dear Tasuki,

Oh, well then for CnA, eat your lil heart out. (you'll love me for this one and Chichiri will probably stop talking to me ^^)

Suiren

Dear Hotohori,

OMG! It's really cool! lol, I'm all thingly from mowing the lawn hehehe ^^ I can see it takes just about an hour to mow the lawn here.. sucks but at least I don't have to mow it by a push mower anymore! I can get you a link to my band playing it if you'd want to hear it...

Yuri

Dear Chichiri,

Heh, thanks Chichiri. Today seemed to go much smoother than yesterday... sept there's something that's still really buggin' me...

Yuri

Dear Hotohori,

Well so far so good. Didn't get a great night sleep, I was wide awake at 1:30 but I watched tv til two then fell asleep for 17 minutes, woke up fell back asleep woke up another 17 minutes later then I was out until 6:45... my mom woke me up -_- Argh.. *puts on band music* Okay there I happy ^^ Hey, you ever heard "LIberty Fanfare" Played by a band? OMG!! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW AND FRIDAY!! I've been looking forward to this ALL FREAKIN' SCHOOL YEAR!! BIG 9 CONFERENCE HAS FINALLY COME!! *Does a VERY happy dance!!* Yup, but I"m going pretty well now in me classes ^^ AWWW!!! Simba's being so KAWAII!! but OMG! hahahh I have a lot of energy right now, though watch I'll crash at like 8 later tonight lol. Heheh, other than that I'm gonna go work on part three to a video that I'm doing! Tschau! (that's a German good-bye hehe)

Yuri

Dear Hotohori,

I would like to tour the palace very much, Heika. I've heard that it is astoundingly beautiful. You are too kind, thank you for the offer.

I must decline the offer to stay, I must sort through the mangled mess that is my list of suitors. Things are going well surprisingly enough, and the suitor today was quite nice. He is to call on me tomorrow for a second interview and a ride through town. Let us hope that he is the one; weeding through all these men is giving me a headache.

Thank you, Heika.

Lady Celeste

Yuri

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Im sooooo depressed today... Im so down. My fellow anime fan, close friend, Lyka is migrating to the U.S. ... and she doesnt know when she'll come back. I mean we always talk about anime in school a lot, I do have bestfriends but they dont share the same interest as me. And when time comes, school would start and I would'nt have anyone to talk to about my favorite anime stuff. I just thought of it now and I felt very low. Can you please say a few words and advice to cheer me up even a little? Since you guys are my favorite anime in my favorite anime show.. Please help! Best Wishes to all of you and thanks for eveything!

Jamie May

Dear Tasuki,

::grins and grabs Miaka-chan, places a long sloppy kiss on her mouth:: Nah, think I'll go after th' pretty lady instead. Ya gave in too easy.

Kouji-kun

Dear Tasuki,

*wipes slobber off her mouth and rends Kouji-kun limb from limb*

TOO EASY! I'LL SHOW YA EASY! *sets Kouji-kun's hair on fire and spits on him* Sorry, that's all the water I can spare. *chugs water from a canteen then pours the rest out on the ground*

*glares at the matchstick Kouji-kun* Che! Easy my left foot!

*kicks around the disembodied limbs*

Furious Miaka-chan

Dear Tasuki,

Yeah, I'm in love with him... can't ya see how much he means to me? I beat on him, swear at him, threaten his manhood, and walk all over him. Yep, that sure sounds like love to me.

NOT!

Heh, if that was love I'd think you were in love with him too. You beat on him almost as much, if not more than me! Yep Tasuki, me and you just love our Kouji, ne?

Miaka-chan

Dear Tasuki,

*beats Kouji-kun to within an inch of his life* AHO! I'm not warming anybody's bed! Especially not yours! *rushes off to find Chichiri* Oi! Chichiri, we need to have you de-demon-ize Kouji again. Seems the first time didn't take, he's still a hentai mononoke!

*hides behind Tasuki*

Miaka-chan

angela

Dear Tasuki,

awww...! please?!! i realli wanna read it! please!!

angela

Dear Hotohori,

oh my gosh! i just read the letter (~lola~?) wrote and its so ... unbelieveable! this tendoh is ur older brother? and he was a farmer? (hope im not offending u...) anyways im gonna start reading that novel of urs!

angela

Dear Tasuki,

Genrou, how unfair! Leave me hanging at the begining of, what sounds like, a good story! I will bat my eye lashes and pout at you if that is what it takes to get the rest of that tale.

Alright, I'll admit I am smiling at the clever way you curtailed your story. I wonder if that was to get me to beg for more? If so, concider me begging.

Please do not feel the need to apologize to me, Genrou. I completely understand. Please give Mistress CnA my fondest regards and let her know that we very much appreciate everything she does here.

Heika wanders around in commoners clothing? What a delightful idea! I believe I shall try that and see if I can find some adventure that way! My ladies maids would be frantic! I believe I will try this tomorrow!

Thank you for the good luck wish, too bad it was wasted. The young man today was tolerable until he opened his mouth; I had never heard such language before! Ah, may I ask what it means when a man asks to /give you a ride/? We were already riding in the palenquine, so I know that he did not mean that sort of ride. I tried to ask him what it meant and he actually had the nerve to grab me! No, I will not elaborate further. Just know it was a frightening experiance. Kouji-kun's advances would have been far more welcome than having to deal with that.

/To Miaka-chan/ Thank you dear. I very much appreciate your wanting to stand up for me, but I can not allow you to be fondled by that ruffian in my stead! I may not be a warrior or have any idea of what to do in a fight, but I do have ways to keep men at bay. Please dear, don't worry about me. As one woman to another, trust that I can /hit them where it hurts/ if need be. /Smiles at Miaka-chan/

/To Kouji-kun/ I am not your type, trust me. I am a bit of a whiner, as Genrou can verify, and not a /demon in the sack/ , whatever that is supposed to mean. I am guessing it is not polite to speak of in the presence of a lady so please do not elaborate. I truely am cold and aloof, as you can see from my letters, and I don't have the time to devote to losing myself in romance as you seem to want of me. Please go back with that nice sister of Genrou's, if she is his sister then she can only be as sweet and kind as he is. /Frowns at Kouji-kun/

Well, hopefully I have set these two straight. I'm sorry I had to be so harsh with Kouji-kun but I could see no other way to get through to him.

Thank you my friend,

Lady Celeste

Dear Chichiri,

*sigh* You are just no fun, but I'll tell ya after I get done.

Okay so now Hyourui's just crazy IN love this time. Thank Suzaku. It's fun having him be a lil messed up, but after a bit ya just want a normal hormone raging teenage boy. (that sounded a lil wrong... )

ANYWAYS. While Hyourui's still workin' on Murin. WE get a lil peeksee into another blossoming relationship. Shun'u and Yuuen. Shun'u was a little too much like his father when it comes to looks and attitude, but he has his mother's talent for cooking. So he an' Yuuen spend their time cooking things. It's cute. And eventually, Shun'u realizes he loves Yuuen and doesn't need to be any big shot bandit leader, he just wants to live his life with Yuuen and make her happy. So he's totally NOT like Tasuki when it comes to love! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Then we go check up on Kyouen in the infirmary. Her immune system is getting stronger and while Ryuuen's off training, it's Rouen who's seeing to it that she's okay, along with his trusty monkey pet Saen. Strangely, it's Kyouen who falls for Rouen first, seeing as how he's always so nice about taking care of her while she knows it only annoys Ryuuen. But Rouen doesn't even notice her affections until they're a bit older. And thus Kyouen's delicate heart yearned for many a year for the return of Rouen's love.

OKAY. Getting back to Hyou and Muri. Well one thing led to another and they're taking the relationship a bit further. Murin's really not as short tempered with Hyou around and that is a good thing. Eventually, she confesses her own feelings of love and Hyourui, not missing a beat proposes. And... She turns him down flat, calls him sweet for asking but still no dice. In a dissapointed manner he asks if there's anything she wouldn't object to, not being serious here and when Murin says "yes" his head perks up.

Now I ain't gonna go int' great deal here. Just know that they finally go ahead and do it. But then this is when more trouble start. After a few months, Hyou realizes he's gotta stop putting off gettin' a job so he takes off and leaves Murin to wait for his return. And waits. And waits. He doesn't come back and she gets depressed. So much so she gets ill, but the doctor gives much more than a checkup, he gives Murin a miracle in revealing to her she somehow was able to concieve a baby, even though she thought it was nearly impossible.

This kinda renews her hope in Hyourui, believing he wouldn't create a miracle and just leave her. So she waits a lil more, and a lil more... and b*tches a lot during her pregnancy, and waits just a lil bit more.

Now Hyourui's been trying to find a doctor to apprentice under, but his drug making techniques are... "sorcery" and not many people want to be taking strange medicines from a pale looking boy. But he's not going home until he has something to offer Murin in terms of a life with him. The last thing he wants to be now is a failure.

And still, Murin waits, she eventually has the baby, a boy, and names him Hakurei (Spirit-Companion). Tasuki and Chichiri get into an aruguement over who Hakurei looks like the most. The Kou or the Ri. Suiren pipes up and says her blood line and sure enough Hakurei does look like Suiren more than anyone else. He's got a placid face and bright blue eyes. And he's just the cutest thing since... well, the last baby that was born. Hehehe.

And life goes on slowly... Murin's able to get a small farm all to herself with some help from family. But she's able to run it all by herself. Despite her lazy and mischievous nature, she can really be a hard worker. But a farm is hard work so they're always someone over helping her with the crops or the baby.

BUT... there's one more volume left. The short part 3 reveals an interesting twist that may break more than one relationship. Stay tuned!

Oh and the match ups were as follows.

Questions? Comments?

Suiren

Dear Chichiri,

CARE TO REPEAT THAT OLD MAN?!

Hyourui

Dear Tasuki,

Alright!! *drugs the sake and waits for the show to start, a mischievous grin on her face.*

Shun'u: Aneki, what are ya doin'?

Drugged the sake.

Shun'u : Sweet! *takes a seat next to his big sis*

Ryuuen: Now really Onee-san, is this really practical? You should focus all your energy on training, not jokes!

It's my business whether 'er not I train 'er pull a joke. Now sit down an' enjoy the fun.

Ryuuen *reluctantly sits on Murin's other side and waits*

Murin, Shun'u II, and Ryuuen

Dear Tasuki,

Well even if I did have some pics like that, there's no way for you to stop me. And even if you somehow did manage to do such a thing, I still got ones with Chichiri. Have I said to much? >.< Ooo, but gimme a break. I'm a teenager with raging hormones. Heheheheheh... ITAI!!

*holds left foot* Guess what stupid @$$ thing I did now? I was putting away my drawin' show box (where I store all me work) and I moved my foot cut enough the wrong way and jabbed my middle toe into the pointed blade of a scissors. I got blood all over the fr*ckin' floor, which I was able to clean up. But I lost a lotta blood in my foot. It still feels numb and as of right now as I'm typing this, it's only been about an hour since the incident. An' now that the bleedin' has pretty much stopped it's hurtin' like a b*tch in the 10th layer of h*ll while being sodomized by a banana! Mondays are horrible -_-...

So anyways my fiery one, I've had an encounter that's making me over protective of my baby, IE Tasuki Plushie. Amber-chan and I were having a conversation in japanese and there's a girl named Tori (Victoria) who sits between us and wanted to know what was going on. I had already left the conversation but Amber-chan was still giggling out "baka no hentai" and Tori wanted to know what it was only Amber didn't tell her.

So she grabbed my Tasuki Plushie and squeezed his lil body so tight I was afraid he'd tear if I tried to pull him back. Amber-chan tried to help but Tori wouldn't let go. I wanted to bite her hand, but the teacher was watching (and he did nothing mind you) and after a few minutes I was able to wrestle him away from Tori's death grip.

I told Heather-chan this while we were in American History after completeing a project and Heather said if she was there she would of killed Tori! Heheh, Heather-chan and Ayame-chan are the only other buddies of mine who seem to have a thing for Tasuki. And Aoi "Flippy" from Imadoki. ^_^ Heheh. But I'm keeping a closer watch now on my lil Tasuki and I'm grateful I haven't gotten around to repairing him! Tori probably woulda made it worse!

Well that was me day pretty much. Didn't get much drawn, but I added a few things to my deviantart gallery. I like this one even though it's not my best work. It's still kawaii, ne? (kuso... I am such a girl)

I just turned 16 last month. It's been a crazy life, yo. I've grown up not at all. quite a bit. I'm into roleplays, proper grammar, abusing emoticons and strikes.

...

...

Yeah, you guys don't remember me. D: +stabbed+

Anyway, I was at school and I was thinkin', "Hey, I never go to that Seishi place no more. I should do that when I get home." And here I am. O:

I've been fangirling over Mahou Sensei Negima, Shaman King, and Di Gi Charat. ... And Coca-Cola C2. That is the most godly drink in the fish world. And universe. All at once. Yeah! Dx Shaddap, I'm cool.

Yeah, you guys don't rememb-- +SHOT+

Quick question. XD; I plan on using this in a RP because of a running joke. How would one say, and write, "How would you like it if I used RANDOM ENGLISH in my Japanese?" xDDD Random English would be left in.. English, yeah. I'm silly. D:

Urm, I don't have anything else to ramble about. :D;; So, nice to see you guys again...?

Dear Nuriko,

Wow Nuriko, I had a wonderful time at prom... expet the band sucked so did their sound system and nobody was danceing at all until 20 mins till it was over. But still it was great when we went to the olive garden and as we were leaving a little girl said that my friend (Zezu) looked like Selena (she did) and she thought I was a princess, that was the best part of the night. oh plus Zezu's cousin said that I should never settal for second best and of course I think he was talking about my date... lol. but all in all that was a heck of a senior prom (even though the Jrs. class could not make a decent prom but we made the most out of it)

Zezu, desert rose and Stormia, the wind

Dear Tasuki,

Genrou, please correct me if I am wrong but have I gained an admirer? A 'Kouji-kun' seems to have noticed me and has the idea of trying to 'chase' me, please tell me this is incorrect. Kouji is an attractive man, please don't feel that I am looking down on him, but I am in no position to accept the attentions of hot blooded men!

At current I am frantically searching for a husband so that my wealth and lands aren't reverted to the crown and I am left penniless. I have three weeks to find a suitable male or else I just may end up on your door step begging to be allowed to work in your kitchens for room and board. I do not have time to wile away my time left in the persuit of romance and happiness. I need someone whom I can be merley comfortable without having to worry about their lust getting in the way of a companionable marriage.

I have an appointment in a few hours and hope he isn't as awful as the last twenty suitors have been. Wish me luck! I'll need it to fend off unwanted advances.

Your Friend,

Lady Celeste of Devonshire

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Give Subaru-san a Happy Birthday greeting for me!

Suiren

Dear Chichiri,

Oh but you should no better Chichiri. I'm not gonna make this easy for him. Besides, we got the rest of the volume to go an' it's not just gonna slide into a nice cozy little ending. Nope.

So, getting back to the drama...

Hyourui: I really do... ever since... we were little...

Murin: Anou... Hikou... I'm flattered, but ya see... I ain't interested in any kinda guy. Hell, I turned down the emperor! Love ain't fer me, so ferget about it.

Hyourui *heart breaking sad face*

Yeah, he's hearing what he don't wanna hear. A softened "no". Poor guy. And he's really got it bad for Murin. She likes him too, but as a friend. Well what's a emotional teenage boy to do? Give up? or Keep trying? As part of creating his own confidence, he's not gonna give up just yet.

So he goes of to plot. Plot #1; Ignore her. That doesn't work at all. Plot #2; Romance her. He could give her all the flowers in the world, but the answer is still "no". Plot #3 Impress her. While Murin's interests are pequed when Hikou shows her how he makes a vial of perfume or how he circulates his chi in his cape to allow flight, but the answer is still "no" by the day's end. Now he's frustrated. There is no way on earth to win Murin's affection.

A couple days later he's given up and is trying to get on with his life, but it's hard to forget a beautiful red head, so he's more pouty than anything else. Murin is at the "he's pathetic" thought and trying to be a good friend tells him she'll endure a single date with him. So he's got a chance, a slim one, but a chance.

It's nothing fancy, just a walk 'round the mountain side. They talk, exchange different adventures they've had, discuss plans for the future.

-Hyourui wants to be a pharmacist and study under a doctor. He wants his potions to be able to help people. He also wants to start a family, his voice is a bit quiet when he tells her though.

-Murin's dream is actually a bit surprising. She grew up bragging how she'll be the "first female bandit leader of Reikaku-zan" but now she wants to move into Taitou near her grandparents and run a small farm.

She laughs about thinking of her with a family because she says it's impossible. Hyou asks why this would be so and that's when Murin reveals a nasty scar over her lower abdominals, where a heavy blade ran right through her during a clash the bandits had during a raid. And then she explains it'd be rather difficult for her to have any children. Aw. But she's cool with that and gives a comment like one Tasuki would make. "I don't need to be chasin' lil brats around for the rest of my life."

Hyou sees an opportunity to cheer her up and says he could try to whip up a potion to heal her, she declines respectfully and shows off other small scars, explains how she got each one. Hyou's only interested in healing her body after seeing them, but he's none the less amazed by how strong she is.

So end of the "date" and Hyourui's gotten no where. Murin reassures him that he'll find someone who's deeply in love with him and he'll have his happy ending, but he says "it won't be happy without you." Aw. He's a lil Casonova, ain't he? Murin's a bit touched, this evidentally is more than just a high school crush. So she smiles sweetly, fangs an' all, and asks what he's got planned for date #2.

During these lil get togethers, Murin makes one thing very clear. "You touch me, you die... slowly and painfully." So he gets close enough where he could do somethin' but doesn't. Displaying incredible self-control. (No teenage boy is gonna be able to fight his manly urges for long *grin*) But what happens when the lil' lady gets tired out and falls asleep against ya?

"Self-control... self-control... so tempted but thou shall not touch the incredibly sexy--NO! I shall not! Hyou, no! You are not an animal! But... she's so... vulnerable. ARGHH!!! Suzaku, help me!"

And he stayed perfectly still all night until Murin woke up. *clap for the boy* Believe it or not, that's what Murin likes in a guy. Self control. She's so sick of every man falling head over heals for her and drooling all over her. Hyourui's very sleepy by now and barely has his eyes open, but he's awake enough to feel Murin kiss his cheek. ^^

OKAY. Will they end up together and will all be good? While yer thinking about that let's play match up! I'll give you the boys an' girls and you gotta guess which become couples. Sound fun? Okay. Now some don't get in relationships, so be careful of your choices. And there's no incest so don't put siblings together! And no homosexual relations either. (Ryuuen's love for Kyouen is questionable though.^^)

For the Boys:

And the Girls:

Have fun guessing.

Dear Tasuki,

Nah, Mi-chan likes me. She'd 've kicked my @$$ by now if'n she really wasn't interested. She may'a smacked me 'round a bit but nothin' too bad. Heh, I could have Mi-chan warmin' one side a th' bed and Celeste warmin' th' other! Wahoo! Two fer one an' all fer me! Now don't go gettin' jealous when they take up with me an' leave ya out in th' cold! I'll send Nuriko over ta keep ya 'company'.

::laughs his @$$ off::

Kouji-kun

Dear Tasuki,

*repeatedly bashes Kouji-kun upside the head* BAKA! I'd never go for you so get that sick thought out of your head! I have a Tasu-chan in my world, I don't need a hentai Kouji trailing after me here!

borrows Tasuki's tessen* LREKKA SHINEN! *flames engulf Kouji-kun leaving him a smoking cinder*

How's that, enjoy having a toasted @$$? I can do it again if you didn't understand it the first time.

*tosses the tessen back to Tasuki* Thanks for the loan.

*grins and wanders back to her fics*

Miaka-chan

Dear Tasuki,

::frowns:: Yeah, jus' keepin' all th' good un's fer yerself! Ya greedy b*st*rd! I wanna good lookin' girl ta wine an' dine, Aidou is jus' too clingy! She's purty, don' get me wrong, but she's jus' too much like ya fer comfort! It's like datin' a female version of you! Ick!

That Lady Celeste though... mmmMMmmm! Purty an' kind, not clingy, an' rich ta boot if'n she's related ta th' emperor! I c'd retire! Never hafta work 'nother day in my life an' have a looker like her ta warm my bed! Whoo! ::smacks his lips together:: Sounds like a plan...

::dashes off to corner Celeste and make a pass at her::

Kouji-kun

Dear Tasuki,

*gasps in shock* Kouji-kun! *bashes him* You leave that nice Lady alone! She's the only sane person around here, and Tasuki likes her so back off! He says she's nice to talk to so don't go running her off!

stands in front of Lady Celeste to block her from Kouji-kun's advances* If you leave her alone I'll kiss you and maybe let you go out on ONE date with me. But ONLY if you leave her alone! *grabs him by the ear* Ya hear me? No touchie the fine lady! AT ALL!

Miaka-chan

Dear Hotohori,

Heika, I am dazed by your smile! No wonder everyone falls at your feet in abject adoration! I must say that I am pleased to be concidered to be family no matter than I am but a distant relation.

It is also no wonder you are so well loved by your people; if you can accept a humble relation as easily as you have shows what a large heart you have. I am honored to have been granted notice and acceptance to your extended family.

/Curtsey's deeply in respect./

Thank you, Heika.

Lady Celeste of Devonshire

Dear Tasuki,

Genrou,

My /date/ as you put it, went just as terribly as I had feared. Another four hours spent fending off over ambitious advances from a man old enough to be me father. An elder cousin set up the meeting in an attempt to get me married off so that he can take over my family estates.

I was not happy with the arrangement.

Sometimes I wish I could take off and live a life as free as everyone else but, my responsibilities keep me bound. I suppose it is fair as it is my duty to provide for the people in my care. I would hazard a guess that alot of people envy my life; rich household, servants, fancy clothes /no matter that they are very restrictive and mostly uncomfortable/ and a stable income that keeps me living in comfort. I would trade it in a moment to live freely...

Forgive me for pilling my woes at your feet! I am very sorry for troubling you this way. Please disregard my complaints as unworthy of your notice.

Forgive me.

Lady Celeste of Devonshire

Dear Tasuki,

Hello Genrou. I've seen the episode where Nuriko dies, it was quite sad. I'll admit that I cried. He was such a sweet man, strange and confused to be sure but sweet all the same.

I appreciate your wanting to shield my /delicate sensibilities/ by sparing me from hearing bawdy tales of your and Lord Kouji's daring do, but I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't interested. It seems to be a very unlady like quality I have; delicious tales of daring exploits are very agreeable! I very much enjoy tales of that nature to brighten the dull and dreary life I live.

When you live in a state of constant rules and restrictions as I do, stories are as close to real adventures as I can get. So please, tell me a tale or two and allow me to live vicariously through you.

I had started to worry for you and your friends when you went missing yesterday, but I see from your kind and boisterous responces that things were fine. I'l go now and allow you to get to more important and pressing matters.

Your Friend,

Lady Celeste of Devonshire

Dear Chichiri,

*get psycho grin* You may have magic, but my potions and drugs are much more... damaging.
