Houjun Ri: I really wanted to post this, and see if people would like it or find it at lest interesting. It's not my first FY, but it is the first FY fanfiction I won't put down. So anyway, yes this is a Yui romance story, it takes two months after OVA 2. The first OVA never happened. So moving on ~

Chapter I

SHA LA LA,

I'm sure, someday, I'll obtain it.

Hongo Yui patiently waited for her friend to finally make an appearance at the school gates. She had been waiting for literally thirty minutes, and yet her brunette friend had not appeared anywhere on the school's front yard. Feeling a bit annoyed that her 'best' friend was late, Yui rubbed her temples with one of her hands.

"Miaka," she muttered annoyingly. "This is the fourteenth time this semester you made me wait for you for so long!"

Crossing her arms, and looking down at the ground, Yui pondered why her friend was taking so long. Yuuki Miaka had mention to her that her last class was going to be released a bit later than expected, and that she would just talk to her teacher for about five minutes. But those five minutes turned to thirty, causing for Yui to patiently wait outside the school's front yard. Tapping her index finger on her elbow, she just decided to stay calm, and scold her best friend later.

'She's usually late anyways, this isn't the first time this has happened,' the blond thought, eyes closed as if she was meditating. 'Typical Miaka, late as usual. I wonder if that's her motto.'

Yuuki Miaka was indeed terrible with time. Ever since first grade she started to get the habit of coming to class three minutes late, as years pass those late tardy times turned to ten minutes. Yui was betting that Miaka (by now) should know those scolding speeches that teachers would tell her. It was probably the only speech that Miaka knew by heart (at least the only speech not publicized in the media). Even though Miaka would always come late, Yui would always wait for her. That's what best friends are for right?

Of course there would be times where she would not wait. This has only happened once, where Yui had failed to wait for her dear friend. It was indeed, Yui's great mistake of all time. Her promise to wait for her friend once had caused the ever-long friendship to almost come to an end. However, Yui realized her mistake and (in a way) apologized to her by making one single wish. A wish where Miaka knew that she was regretful. As time pass their friendship was slowly recovering, and soon they were smiling with one another once again.

"Yuuui ~!"

Yui blinked her azure eyes, and her attention then focused on the brunette girl running towards her. As soon as they were inches apart, Miaka open her wide arms and hugged her blond friend. Yui felt the bear hug that her friend was giving, even though it was a tight hug, she smiled at the caring friend she had. Soon Miaka's eyes started to water, Yui gave her a questionable look.

"The teacher made me stay because I made a mess in the kitchen!" she whined still clutching to her best friend.

Yui sighed, it couldn't be helped. Miaka was a disorganized person, and whenever she would cook, the kitchen was a complete mess. Lifting her hand to the brunettes head, the blond pat the head in front of her.

"It's fine, let's just go to Taka's apartment now."

Noticing the cheery face of her best friend, Yui's lips formed a smile too. The two soon left the school grounds. They patiently waited for the bus at the bus stop which wasn't far off from school grounds. Once entering the transportation vehicle, they chatted (more like Miaka did most of the talking) about their day at school. Yui stiffened as she heard her best friend mentioning about dinner will be prepared by her. It was true that Miaka was now officially interested in cooking, but she was always horribly at it. It wasn't that she was truly a horrible cook, perhaps if she could taste her own food then she would over think the idea of serving it to others.

When the bus took a turn, the two third year high school students disembarked from the vehicle, and headed their way to Miaka's boyfriend, Sukunami Taka's, apartment. They arrived and then finally entered the apartment. They took the elevator to the floor that Taka resided in. When reaching the floor, Miaka dragged Yui by the hand to Taka's front door. She ignored Yui's protest to let go since she could perfectly well could walk to the door. Miaka ignored her friend as she knocked on the door, resulting for the two waiting for the door to be open. Yui of course was rubbing her wrist as she waited, her friend pulls too hard.

Once it open by the dark blue haired college student, Miaka squealed, and hugged him. "Taka!"

"M-Miaka," he stuttered out, a bit surprised by the sudden visit. "I thought you two were supposed to come here at six?"

Taka's eyes looked back at the blond for any explanations, but she just simply shrugged and pointed at Miaka. His eyes then studied his cheerful girlfriend, who just smiled at him.

"Well, we decided to come in and clean first! Oh! Also cook too!"

At the same time Taka and Yui's eyes twitched, while their bodies stiffened. Miaka was oblivious to their reactions, and finally stopped hugging her boyfriend. Taka and Yui both nodded at each other, silently telling each other to forbid Miaka to step on the kitchen. They entered the small living room, causing for the two girls to look around.

"Who would have thought a male can keep his apartment clean?" Yui muttered looking at the bookshelf that was there.

Miaka excused herself to go to the kitchen, Taka and Yui eyed each other for a while. Miaka wanted to start dinner, something the guest that would come later would not want to be surprised. As the brunette girl was walking towards the kitchen, Taka hurriedly followed her from behind. He was not about to eat cheesy lemon soup for dinner.

Yui sighed and weary eyed the couple as they entered the kitchen. She gave a silent approving smile, as she noticed them happily talking to each other. They were perhaps the perfect boyfriend and girlfriend. Yui glanced at the table near by carefully staring at the stuff Taka had out. What interested her was a small picture frame. Her slender fingers picked it up, and her blue eyes stared at the picture.

Eight people were smiling there. She could name two of them, Miaka and Taka (Tamahome) were there. She also remembered two people in there, the orange top head, and the blue haired monk. She didn't know them personally, but she remembered them just a bit. There were of course people she never met or get a glimpse at. The purple head female, the two older males, and a small child.

Yui set the picture down. Those were Miaka's Celestial Warriors, the Suzaku Seven. She remembered that Miaka had mentioned how caring and loving they were all to her. How they would all risk their life just for her. How she made bonds with them, and how much fun times they had with each other. Something her celestial warriors couldn't do.

If she remembered correctly, all of her warriors went their separate ways. There were no close contact between each other really. Nakago and Suboshi were perhaps the only ones who stayed by her side, but Soi, Tomo, Ashitare, and Miboshi were a different story. Both Soi and Tomo would occasionally glare at her whenever they saw her. Ashitare never uttered a single word to her, while Miboshi freaked her out to no end. She never really met Amiboshi, Suboshi's twin brother. Perhaps she would have gone and befriend the other twin too. Miaka said he was such a caring sweet guy.

She sighed as memories of the book began to over take her mind. She still remembered those war battles as she left the book. It was the first time she had ever seen people die in front of her eyes. Yui shuddered at the memories. She hated those memories, nothing good came out of her being the priestess.

She placed the picture frame back to it's original place, and headed to where the books were at. She was interrupted by a sudden argument. Mostly Miaka complaining why she couldn't turn on the stove. Rolling her blue eyes, she scanned the bookshelf ignoring the small argument that was going on at the kitchen. Most of the books were college leveled literature or textbooks. Yui began to picture a studious Taka in the library, somehow the picture wasn't right. She gave a sigh, while smiling and grabbing a random book.

Narrowing her eyes, she studied the book carefully. It was the same as that book she once touched long ago. Of course there was no title, just a simple red cover, but the texture was the same. Feeling a bit uneasy, she decided to place it back however her body wouldn't let her. Looking back to the kitchen, she wondered if her best friend and boyfriend were still arguing. Eyes once again on the book, she hesitantly opened the book cover. The front page was blank.

Slowly ink began to make difficult kanji characters, they were appearing as if someone was writing them. Shocked, she slowly read out loud the letters that were suddenly appearing. "Universe of the Four Gods: Reveal the Meaning of Life."

Without a second to think of closing the book, she felt the similar force of how she was once sucked inside the book.

Amethyst locks were currently being pulled by a servants hands as they began to make an elegant hair style that a Empress should have. Hair made into an exaggerated bun filled with some hair ornaments, the Empress of Konan had waved off the servant away. Standing from her chair, she looked back at one scholar and the Minister of Ceremonies who were bowing in front of her.

"Are you positive...?" questioned the Empress of Konan, Houki. Her eyes gave off a concerned look. "To have another legend like that..."

"We are positive Your Majesty!" said the elder one who was clearly the Minister of Ceremonies.

"We, scholars, are positive Your Majesty," responded a young scholar head down clearly giving respect to the Empress of the country. "We have clearly checked so many documents that could perhaps prove this legend wrong, but it is always the same result."

Houki's expression never faltered. "...Xiao Ji An."

The Minister of Ceremonies looked up. "Yes Your Majesty? What is Her Majesty's wishes?"

"I need you to send someone to find our two remaining celestial warriors," announced Houki stepping in front of the older man. "Tell this to no one."

Her eyes then focused on the three servant girls, and the scholar. "No one will spill this news outside this room is that understood?"

"Yes Your Majesty!"

The Empress of Konan rubbed her temple trying to calm the nerves. "I will now see my son, you are all dismissed."

"Yes Your Majesty!"

As everyone in the room left her alone, she couldn't help but give a sigh. "I cannot believe that there will be another legend like that. It seems much more challenging..."

With that she had left her room, and went on to search for her only child.
