Finally we had reached the kingdom; I could see the gates in front of us. “Yeah finally!” Tasuki said enthusiastically behind me. I felt a little excited to see the kingdom; I figure it must be beautiful because it’s royal and all. “Will they let us in?” I asked. In every movie I had seen the characters always have trouble getting inside royalty gates. “Yeah they better, I was once close to their previous emperor and I am a celestial warrior. So if they don’t, I’m just going to use my fan.” Tasuki said with grin and glint in his eyes. Koji sweat dropped, “I don’t think it will come to that.” He said.

“Yeah, prison isn’t for me.” I remarked.

“Lyra, I don’t think prison suits anybody.” Koji said shaking his head with a slim smile.

“Criminals do!” Tasuki said agreeing with me.

“Ha criminals like bandits?” I inquired smiling with raised eye brows.

“W-what no! criminals like murders.” Tasuki said defending himself. I laughed and he narrowed his eye brows into a frown.

Laughing at the two of us Koji and his horse walked past us. “Alright you two, we need to find ChiChiri.” Tasuki lightly tapped the horse with his boot to get it to start walking again.

Just by looking at Tasuki the guards knew exactly who he was, so it was luckily easy to get in the kingdom. The kingdom is big, like really big. I couldn’t tell what was bigger, Tokyo or this place. It’s packed too; I can see many people in front of stalls buying and selling items. Every now and then people would stop what they were doing and stare at us. “I feel… uncomfortable.” I said ducking my head so Tasuki’s thickly muscled arms would cover my face.  “HAHA someone’s shy.” Tasuki laughed at me. “Shut it flame brain.” I mumbled.

“Flame brain?!”

“Hehe.” I started to giggle.

“Maybe I should call him that instead of Genrou.” Koji said thinking aloud.

“No, Genrou is my nickname not Flame Brain.”

“I prefer Flame Brain” I replied.

“Tch” Tasuki was clearly annoyed.

The throne room is big with red carpet and palomino walls with many paintings.

“Your majesty Houki” Tasuki said as he bowed, both Koji and me followed.

The woman has medium lavender hair plaited on the side down towards her stomach, fair skin and her eyes are a light turquoise. She’s wearing a pink and red gown. She smiled and I could tell she has a gentle personality. “Rise Suzako warrior Tasuki. What is the reason you have come?” She asked him. “Empress I have come to seek ChiChiri.” Tasuki said as he stood. “You see a mysterious girl has appeared and ChiChiri being the smart one of the warriors, he might know something.” The woman rose from her seat and walked towards me. “This is the girl I presume.” I looked up at her. “It’s okay stand, what is your name?” I stood, she’s much more pretty up close and she’s surprisingly not that much taller than me. “M-my name is Lyra your Majesty.”

She smiled. “Guardsmen find ChiChiri.”

“Yes your majesty.” They replied and walked out of the huge throne room.

Within minutes the guardsmen returned with who I presume is ChiChiri. He’s tall and he has blue hair that goes round his head and a curvy line of his remaining hair goes atop, as if floating. The man is wearing a dark-blue cape with circles and a necklace. His face seemed plastic looking and his eyes looked closed. He has light fair skin; he is holding a staff and a hat and mantle.

 

“ChiChiri!” Tasuki ran to ChiChiri and crushed him with a bone crunching hug. “Hey, it’s been a while.” ChiChiri almost went blue.” Nice to see you Tasuki, you’re choking me you know.” ChiChiri replied breathless. “Ah sorry” He said letting go and baking away. “A mysterious girl huh? This must be her?” He said looking at me. “Yeah her name is Lyra and she came here the same way… Miaka did. She even comes from the same place.” Tasuki said.

“Lyra please come closer.” ChiChiri asked.

I did what I was told, I walked slowly towards them. “Hello there, my name is ChiChiri.”

“Hi...”

“She’s a little shy.” Koji said.

“I can see that, you know.” He says ‘you know’ a lot…

“What exactly do you know want me to do?” ChiChiri asked.

“You’re the wise one out of all of us!” Tasuki said.

“Yes and no Tasuki. I don’t know everything… But I do know Taiitsukun You know” ChiChiri said.

“Eh that old wench gives me the creeps” Tasuki said with a shiver.

“You and me both” Koji said also shivering.

“That’s a little harsh.” I said trying to defend a woman I didn’t even know.

“You don’t even know her.” Koji said.

“You don’t either Koji you know.”

“S-still just by looking at her, she gives me the creeps.”

“At least she doesn’t appear out of know where on you.” Tasuki said narrowing his eyes and looking around. It seemed like he expected her to appear out of nowhere.

 “How does she help me get home?” I asked.

“The woman knows a spell and she will most likely know why you’re here too.” ChiChiri said.

“Why I’m here? All I did was read a book. It was an accident.” I said hoping it’s true.

“I don’t know about that.” Tasuki said looking at me and folding his arms.

“N-no, I’m no one special. I live in Japan and this kind of thing doesn’t happen. I live a boring normal life; I wake in the morning, get ready for school and study. Just to do it all over again the next day. Maybe I’m dreaming, that must be it.” I felt like crying, and I couldn’t help but feel pathetic because I wanted to cry.

“You’re not dreaming you know. Miaka; a normal girl from Japan went to the local library with her best friend Yui and got sucked into the book. Miaka got sent here and Yui ended up in Seiyu . Both being priestesses for different nations and gods, they became enemies. Luckily despite everything they went through they are still friends as far as I know. Anyway what I’m trying to say is both were priestesses that only means you have got to be a priestess or something, but our priestess only came a year ago. It’s far too early for another one you know.” ChiChiri said to me.

I felt as if I was dreaming, I pinched my arm to see if the old trick would work. It didn’t; I did not wake up. I always said I wanted to do something more than school and study, I always wanted an adventure but now I feel lost and I want to go home.

“Alright, guys come here. I’ll take you to Taiitsukun’s home.” ChiChiri said.

I looked towards Tasuki and Koji, they looked at me back and nodded. After koji began to walk I walked towards him too. ChiChiri started chanting odd words and before I knew it a was surrounded by a white light and in surprise I grabbed onto someone’s arm. I looked up and realized it was Tasuki’s. He didn’t seem to realize or he expected it.

~

The white light disappeared and we were standing in an unfamiliar room with white walls and brown floor boards. “Taiitsukune!” ChiChiri and Tasuki yelled out but there was no response. “I’ll go this way, Tasuki look in the bedrooms.” Tasuki and ChiChiri left the room. Koji stood several meters infront with his back facing me. I tried to walk forward but something hit the back of my neck and then I collapsed…
