Author's Note: This is a five-part fiction consisting of four main characters and an ending. I couldn't help it and included myself as one of the characters. I hope you enjoy this one.
Finale
And It All Comes Down
Each of us took a step. Whether the step I made is right, it was my decision and I have no regrets. A sudden realization occured to me as I was doing so.
One way or another, each of us will have to face the evil within ourselves. The choice is up to us if we give up or try and overcome these hindrances.
Only you can complete yourself. No other person can do it for you. It takes more than a lifetime to discover oneself. Don't cut it too short.
Black, white, or any color of the rainbow, everyone has a right to live no matter how cruel the world may be. Whatever fate throws at you, take it and keep your head held high.
I am alive. The fact that I am here makes me worth something. I don't know what that is yet but I have a lot of time to find out.
"Miko, don't just stand there and help me pull Chiriko up!", Tomo shouted at me and broke through my reverie.
I leaned over the edge and saw Chiriko hanging on to some sort of a pin which has been stuck on the face of the mountain. Reaching over, I grabbed the little hand that is being held out for me. "On three, Tomo. One. Two. Three. Go!"
Chiriko was safely pulled up. He dusted himself and said, "I am Miboshi. I have possessed this body to do as I please!". "Why did you do this? I was supposed to die in order to protect the world from you!". "Oh, come on! Apart from Nakago, you're the only one who could ever resist my powers. A genius like you, do you really think that this is the only way?". "You have a point...". "Look, I only summon monsters because no one else was around to keep me company.". "And I read a lot of books and study a lot because nobody wants to talk to a brain like me.". "We're not that much different from each other.". "Maybe we could get along.". "Yes. We probably can.".
He/they (from now on I'll drop the "he" when referring to Chiriko/Miboshi) turned and walked away. Tomo and I stared, gaping at them. After taking a couple of steps away from our direction, they turned back to us saying, "Thank you for saving us. We appreciate it.", and left.
"You're welcome!", I called back to them. Turning to Tomo, I asked, "So, why didn't you jump?"
"As I was taking a step, I imagined myself lying on a pile of dust in a ridiculously horrid position with no poise whatsoever and it just didn't appeal to me.", Tomo replied. "Well, I better go too and find the local drug store to get something for this pimple and my bruise. And to buy a nail file and more make up and more... You get the picture. Ja ne!" With that, Tomo entered the shadows and is gone.
*Sigh* Certainly, that was not the realization that I came up with. I'm happy for him just the same. Hey, there were four of us. Oh, my... Too bad that Miaka never got to grasp what I learned before taking that step forward. She gave up and was blinded by sadness that she didn't see the light of hope ahead of her.
I know now that this incident will never happen to me again - thanks to them. Miko Reznor is made from tougher stuff... And I have another story to add to the fanworks section.
END
End Notes:
The character in the story with my name does not exactly represent who I am. I just couldn't think of any other character in Fushigi Yuugi to fill this part and so I submitted myself to act in this story.
Heehee. Did you like it? This story is not meant to hurt anybody in any way. I wanted it to turn out to have a learning after reading it. I hope you got my message ;þ. So, hang in there!
