(A/N) This story came to me when I was watching my finger swell up from being jammed in a door. (How is that significant in any way!)

Disclaimer: I do not own Fushigi Yugi. Watase-sensei does. However, if I DID own Fushigi Yugi, Tamahome would have his shirt off a lot more often.

She pressed the cold glass bottle against her lips as the fizzling soda trickled down her throat. She leaned back in her chair and took a good look at the man standing in front of her.

He was very tall, had long blonde hair, and very cold looking eyes.

"What do you want?" She demanded.

"Don't play around with me, you know what I want." he said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" she said innocently.

It was truth though, Miaka knew very well. She was one of the best trained assassins in Tokyo. She also knew because she'd heard of him before. Nakago, he was called. She'd heard from her friend Yui about him and how the guy he wanted killed was impossible to eliminate.

Miaka eyed the man again. When Yui had described him however, he sounded much easier to the eyes.

"Look," she said "I know what you want. You want me to get rid of...what's his name, the man who seems to be impossible for anyone to kill."

"Hmph." Nakago looked irratated. "So much for you being the best, you bitch."

"Fool," Miaka laughed "Yui, who's just as good as me, wasn't willing to accept the challenge."

"If she's as good as you, then what makes you the best and not her?" He interrogated.

Miaka smiled her sadistic smile "Because I accept."

Nakago grinned "Good. So what shall your payment be?"

Miaka saw Nakago's hand reach towards her chest, and she hit him with her soda bottle.

"I'm not that cheap!" she yelled at him.

"Hm" he smiled "obviously Yui, or Seiryu, didn't tell you how she was paid to get rid of the family of that fool I want you to kill."

"Seiryu..." Miaka echoed. So that was Yui new assassin name. That chick was always changing her alias. Miaka had always stuck with Suzaku.

"Wait," Miaka suddenly realized "if her new name is Seiryu how do you know her REAL name?"

"She told me..." he leaned towards Miaka again "when she recieved her payment."

"Ew." Miaka said rolling her eyes.

"So," Nakago said to her "how about I pay you five thousand dollars...plus what Seiryu recieved?"

Miaka shivered at the thought. "Double the cash," she demanded "and forget the sex."

"You drive a hard bargain, Suzaku."

That was over a week ago and Miaka had been trailing her victim ever since. His name was Tamahome, he was tall, thin, had black hair, and was rather good looking.

Miaka had been waiting for oppourtunities constantly, but none came. She followed him as best as she could during the day, but every time she tried to kill him he got away. He was too damn fast is what Miaka thought.

After that week Miaka decided it was going to be an inside job, though it'd have to be stealthy. She'd heard from reliable sources that those who went after this Tamahome, were often founnd dead later on. However, Miaka knew exactly what to do.

She decided that if this was going to be an inside job, it may as well be fun. She was going to get him to fall in love with her. She'd never tried this approach before, she'd usually become "friends" with them.

There was something different about him though. He seemed like he would be more difficult to lure into her trap.

"Seiryu, Miss Yui." Nakago said to Yui softly.

"Nakago." Yui reached out and embraced him.

"You're friend...Suzaku...is not a very nice girl." he whispered in her ear.

"Oh she's really nice and kind too, she even has good morals...for an assassin I mean. She wont kill anyone unless the person paying her has a really good reason, that's why she probably accepted the Tamahome problem. Since he's been so evil to you." Yui ran her fingers through Nakago's hair.

"So you don't know what she calls you behind your back?" Nakago said sounding surprised.

"Wh-what?" Yui sounded shocked.

"She called you a slut, who only became an assassin because the only other job you could take would be a hooker." Nakago said bluntly.

"Miaka Yuki! That bitch!" Yui's tone of voice changed.

"Miaka Yuki..." Nakago quietly echoed.

(A/N) Yeah I know it's really wierd but oh well, review anyway! And if your going to flame me, you'd better have a good reason other than 'it's stupid' or you 'just don't like it.'
