Ok,this is my first Fushigi Yuugi fanfic. PLEASE do not flame me. It will be ignored & promptly thrown out.

Standard disclaimers apply! Believe me, if they were *my* characters, things would be different! But they’re not; so don’t sue me for this.

NOTE FOR FIC: In the Anime,it never gives any specific time when all of the Seiryuu Seishi were found & how long they’ve been together. In this fic, it takes place at least two years or three before Miaka screwed everything up. {yes,I hate Miaka. get over it.}.

NIGHTIME CURIOSITY

Tomo sighed as he settled his head into his soft pillow and placed his arms under it. Sighing contently to himself, hi thoughts automatically turned to his hopeful dreams. His sigh was fallowed by a crash of thunder. Tomo moaned....he wasn’t too fond of noise. Espescially when it interupted his focus on his dreams......

Tomo kicked off the blankets and flipped onto his back. It was a hard day for him....baka twins run off and who had to get them?? Why, him, of course!! Of course, baka abazureon’na Soi wouldn’t even pry her drooling sappy-eyed self away from Nakago-sama to even notice. Miboshi was “busy” doing only Seiryuu knows what....and Ashitre..well,even Tomo
wouldn’t wish the twins alone with him...So it was up non-commental Tomo to go fetch them like the noble dog he is.....

“K’so...” Tomo groaned as he put his right arm over his eyes. Why was it so hot tonight?? Thunder cracked, lightning flashed, and hot rain poured.....Tomo was not amused.

Just as Tomo found something to dream about {a world without women & little brat children & only him & his love...} a sudden crack of lightning came booming down from the Heavens and a sudden rush of feet coming towards his room woke him.

“Tooooooooooooomo-chan...” A familiar voice whined. “Can I sleep with you?”

“Why?!” Tomo demanded.

“Aniki is hogging up all of the bed and the noise is scaring me...please, Tomo-chan? Please?”

Tomo sighed yet again. Was sleep too hard to ask for??? He rolled onto his side. “Don’t kick me.” He warned.

“Arigatou, Tomo-chan,” Suboshi chimed as he crawled onto Tomo’s bed.

Tomo muttered a response that was hardly close to ‘you’re welcome.’ Subosho took his dear sweet time laying down. He kept bouncing and tossing and turning. Tomo also hated motion.

“What the hell are you doing?!” Tomo asked, opening his eyes a bit.

“Sugoi, Tomo-chan! Your bed is bigger then ours!!”

“Shut up and lay down.” Tomo demanded. Suboshi giggled and laid down.

“OK,Tomo-chan.” He said happily, settling down next to Tomo.

It was blissfully quite for about two minutes, when, yet again, Tomo was almost asleep and Suboshi leaned up on his elbow and bent to look over Tomo’s shoulder. Tomo felt the curious wandering eyes and opened his own to meet them. He turned his head so he was nose to nose with the curious twin.

“Nani?” Tomo deeply asked. Suboshi just leaned back, sort of uneasy, until he was leaning back against both elbows, still staring at Tomo. Tomo turned on his other side, wanting to know why Suboshi had this freaked out expression on his usually happy face.

“T-Tomo-chan?” Suboshi questioningly asked.

“Hai....” Tomo saw Suboshi studying his face when it dawned on him. Suboshi has never seen him without his make up on!! Tomo gave a weak smile. “Yes, this is my face.”

“It’s pretty!” Suboshi automatically replied. Tomo almost fell over.

“Ne,Suboshi....*men* aren’t pretty....”

“Oh.” Tomo pushed Suboshi gently down so he was lying down. “Tomo no bishonen???” Suboshi smiled.

Tomo nodded. “Better.” He said. “Now, go to sleep.” Tomo turned back onto the side he was first on, his back facing Suboshi.

But Suboshi wasn’t content. “If you’re so bishonen, Tomo, how come you wear the make up?”

“Ack!” Tomo wasn’t expecting this question.....”I’ll explain it’s importantance some other day,all right? Go to sleep now.”

Suboshi sighed, bored and almost annoyed Tomo-chan hadn’t told him. Suboshi closed his eyes and tried to focus his mind on sleeping..but soon his eager eyes were wide open & wandering around the dark room. They suddenly fell onto something glowing on a table beside sleeping Tomo. Suboshi sat up and looked closer,trying not to lean over Tomo too much.

He saw a small glowing clam....it was the thing he reconized as what Tomo refered to as his ‘Shin.’ Suboshi knew it was very important to Tomo, but he couldn’t understand why yet....maybe whenever Tomo held it, it gave him powers to look intimnating...Suboshi was certainly intimanated by Tomo {when Tomo was pissed or upset}.

Maybe of I touch it,’ Suboshi thought, ‘It’ll give me sugoi powers too!!!’ Suboshi very slowly and gently reached over Tomo’s sleeping face. Just as his finger tips were about to graze upon the hard shell, Tomo’s long fingers clutched his wrist so violently, Suboshi cried out in suprise and pain.

‘Itai! Tomo-chan,machi na sai!!!! Tomo-chan; itai; itai!!!” Suboshi almost wailed. Tomo glared at him.

“Don’t _touch_ it!” He hissed under his breath. Suboshi went wide-eyed & nodded. Tomo twisted Suboshi’s wrist loose and smacked Suboshi’s forehead so he went down instantly on his back. “GO TO SLEEP!” Tomo hissed violently.

“Hai,Tomo-chan. Gomen na sai.” Suboshi,fearful,whispered.

Tomo muttered and went on his side again, lifting his pillow up higher over his head.

“Tomo-chan...” Suboshi whispered.

“Nani......” Tomo slowly asked in a sigh.

“You never gave me a good-night kiss....Aniki always gives me one before I go to sleep..he says it protects me....please,Tomo-chan?”

Tomo kicked his feet in frustration and flopped himself over to face Suboshi. He was about to yell and rant at the annoying little brat, when he saw the kawaii, wide eyed innocent expression of hope. Tomo let out a breath and leaned down and gave the kawaii twin a quick peck on the cheek.

“There. Now go to sleep.” Tomo grumbled, turning over, hopefully for the last time.

It was quite. Tomo was drifting in between sleep & awakeness. His mnd was slowly forming images he had been waiting for this long and tiring day. Suboshi’s littler body was curled right next to him, and he felt the patterns of his breathing, finally sleeping....

“Tomo-chan..?”

“NANI???” Tomo whined, helpless now.

“The storm stopped. I’m going back to my room.....”

Tomo chuckled to himself. “Of course....”
