Nuriko was well
aware that he was dead. Dead was dead was dead. But it didn’t explain why he
suddenly felt pain flowing throughout his body of what should have just been
his soul or whatever he had ended up being. He listened, trying to ignore the
pain. He listened for one of the many fountains that graced the vast lands of
Taikyoku-san but heard nothing but people breathing all about him. Now that he
thought about it, that was rather odd since he didn’t need breathe and neither
did Chiriko, Mitsukake, or Hotohori. Slowly he opened up his eyes and was met
with a sight that he never would have thought he’d see in a million years.
‘I always knew
something was up after Tamahome came back from Kutou. Now I know. Hope Miaka wouldn’t
be too pissed if she ever saw that.’
Softly snickering at the fact that Obake-chan and Kutou’s shogun were currently
spooning against one another, their heads pillowed on Mitsukake’s chest.
‘Wait’ Nuriko blinked, the picture he was currently
seeing finally processing. ‘There was no way either one of them would have
been able to actually touch the reticent healer since the healer had died on
the battlefield’s sidelines.’ Frowning Nuriko looked around and noticed
that Chiriko had taken a safe haven nearby Tasuki, it was a sweet scene and for
once the bandit wasn’t sprawled all over everyone. The feeling of something not
being quite right was plaguing him again. He looked down and saw that he wasn’t
as see-through as he had been before Miaka had –
“SON OF A BITCH! I’M
ALIVE!?” And with that, he had woken up everyone else that was still asleep, or
pretending in a few cases. Grumbles and curses aimed at the purple-haired cross
dresser as he practically jumped and danced in his small space, his strength
leaking out as he rattled the floor, the cracks growing and reaching towards
the two as of yet unnoticed miko watching their seishi with wide eyes.
Flames suddenly
leapt in the air as Tasuki, in his own form of infinite wisdom, managed to get
everyone’s attention.
“What the hell is
going on?” Okay… maybe not. Nuriko stomped up to Tasuki, looked him up and down
before pulling his arm back and punching Tasuki into a wall before picking him
up again, hugging him and swinging him like a child too long from their
favorite stuffed animal. Tamahome and Soi snickered before stopping and glaring
at one another. Nakago chuckled softly. And everyone stopped to look at him, in
response he just shrugged.
“I don’t know why I
never thought of this before. We should have just let the Suzaku no Shichi
Seishi take care of each other, that way the takeover would have been so much
more easier than it had already been.” He smirked at the fuming Suzaku-tachi as
his own group snickered and laughed at his words. Nuriko, Tamahome, and Tasuki
growled and attempted to begin to rush the arrogant shogun.
“NO!” and two bodies
jumped in the middle of the fray. Make that two petite, female bodies between a
group of not so happy warriors. Not the best of places to be, but there they
were. Of course, never one to pass on an opportunity to demolish the enemy,
Nakago began to pull his ki together to form one of his more favorite attacks.
This particular ki blast would be very messy and anyone who was not behind him
would suffer the intensity of the blast before simply becoming ash. He took no
notice of the females in between both groups, particularly that of his own miko.
“Yui,” Miaka gasped
as she saw what her friend was going to do and moved to stop her. “Yui, that
might not be a good idea at the moment.”
“I don’t care.” And
with that, Yui jumped and grabbed a hold of Nakago’s arm, surprising him as he
realized who it was that had attached themselves to his person. He then got a
good look at her at the same time.
“Stop staring at her
you pervert.” That was yelled just before a shoe had hit him in the head,
causing the Suzaku side to howl with laughter. Glaring he took note of a
completely naked Seiryuu no Miko hanging off his arm and a half-naked Suzaku no
Miko, who was attempting to give her friend some form of covering with a very
tattered fukuu jacket simultaneously glaring at him.
“What the hell are
you two doing here?!” Both Tasuki and Tamahome were not happy that both of the
miko were still present or near Nakago for that matter. Though, from the blushes
both teens sported, one would figure that it was more the fact that neither one
of the Otherworldly girls were completely dressed. The girls merely blinked and
looked at each other.
“I don’t know.” Yui
stated calmly. Miaka was silent, a frown upon her face as she tugged her shoe
back in place.
“I think it has to
do with my wishes.” She attempted to smile, but it failed as she didn’t know
where to go from there. The glares she received from both sides didn’t help her
confidence, but she took it in stride and decided to look around where-ever it
was they were. She pulled Yui off of Nakago and gave her the jacket of her
uniform before walking around the room. She counted the people in the room and
noticed two things at once.
The first was that
Miboshi was nowhere to be seen – that could be either good and/or bad. Meaning
that he could be floating and wreaking havoc in this place was not a good thing
since it had taken one of her own seishi’s deaths to defeat him before. She was
not willing to let that happen again. Or he just hadn’t been brought back - but
that would mean complications in the balance of seishi power.
The second was that
they were not locked up anywhere, but were in a large room. It was obvious that
it was more of a meeting room than anything else. Where they were was eluding
her, but she knew somehow that the answer to that would be answered in time.
She just had to be patient.
Nuriko watched Miaka
as he handed her friend Yui one of Miaka’s extra outfits since Tasuki had
brought her backpack with him to her world before all of them were transported
to where they were now. He shielded the girl as she dressed herself since it
seemed that none of her seishi were willing to help her. He didn’t like that,
but decided to let it go for the moment. He had also noticed that the wolf
creature that had been the cause of his death was there as well. Although he
wasn’t happy about that, he was willing to put up with it just as long as the
wolf-thing didn’t attack anyone from their side.
Miaka was walking
around the room, even going so far as to go over to the Seiryuu side. He
tensed, ready to get her from there at any moment. But he saw that Amiboshi was
also keeping an eye on his celestial companions, keeping them from harming her.
Though most of the Seiryuu seishi snubbed her presence they left her alone. The
wild card was Nakago, but he seemed more interested in where they were as well.
So he relaxed a little. And with a few minutes, Miaka moved back towards the
now dressed Yui.
Yui for her part
gave him a thankful, though embarrassed smile. Miaka gave the girl an
enthusiastic hug, grinning widely as she did so. Yui wept a little, repeating
how sorry that she was with Miaka saying that it would be okay. Nuriko had to
smile to himself at that knowing that all Miaka truly cared about was that her
friend was safe and unhurt.
Miaka had noticed
that Nakago was also checking out the room that all of them were currently
ensconced in but was not completely comfortable with him, read: at all, to ask
him what he thought. So she chose to keep her thoughts to herself until someone
decided to bring it up.
“Oi! Anyone here
know where we are?” Tasuki’s voice startled everyone else and Miaka had to
stifle a giggle. The timing was rather good if not a little odd.
“Why should anyone
answer your foolish questions?” Nakago hissed moving into Tasuki’s space. It
was completely evident that he was trying to get a rise out of her seishi,
trying to start a fight.
“Enough.” She glared
at Nakago, who blinked at her. He remained silent and took a step back from her
seishi, so she turned to Tasuki. “We’re not prisoners here. I don’t know
exactly where we are, but it doesn’t seem like we’re in danger since there has
been ample opportunity to hurt us – especially when we were out.”
Everyone blinked at
her and she felt a little annoyed at the fact that they obviously weren’t
expecting an answer like that from her. But then again, she didn’t exactly do
the smartest of things and this was fairly obvious so... And here she mentally
shrugged.
She turned to
Nakago. It was now or never.
“Do you know where
Miboshi is?” He raised an eyebrow at her, it was obvious that he hadn’t even
cared enough to check if all of his fellow seishi were with him. He looked
around and grudgingly answered her.
“No.”
“That could be a
problem.” Miaka frowned again. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed Chiriko
beginning to tremble and pale. She understood why as well and didn’t blame him
in the least. Thankfully Mitsukake had put an arm on the boy’s shoulder to
reassure him and she smiled a bit at the sight.
“What don’t trust us
Suzaku no Miko?”
“At the moment I
don’t trust most of the Seiryuu shichi seishi any farther than I could throw
any of you. And since Nuriko cornered the market on strength I know I wouldn’t
be able to even lift you let alone throw you.” His eyebrows rose, obviously
surprised that she wasn’t just yelling insults at him whilst guarding Yui –
keeping her away from him. Again she had shocked everyone, not only by not
showing fear, but by being very calm in the face of what could only be the
fastest and yet most painful death known to any of them – in other words
Nakago’s chi blast.
“Who are you and
what have you done with Miaka?” Yui tugged at Miaka’s arm to get her attention.
Miaka snorted.
“Just because I act
like an idiot doesn’t truly mean that I am one.”
“But your
grades...?”
“You can’t get
common sense out of a geometry textbook no matter how hard you try. As for my
grades, well, I earn what I get – for better or for worse. I still have to
study to keep it in here.” Miaka poked her head and gave Yui a small smile that
was returned with some relief.
Knowing that these
problems all of them were facing – and they were problems – needed to be
figured out, she turned back to both hers and Yui’s seishi.
“Okay, so we have
two problems that we’re dealing with. Where Miboshi is and where we are. Anyone
have any ideas?”
Clapping was heard
after Miaka had posed her question. They all turned towards the sound and found
Taiitsukun floating towards them, clapping her hands, with Nyan nyan following
her.
“Very good Suzaku no
Miko. I understand the reasons as to why Suzaku is more than happy with you. I
will answer your questions, though by now I expect that one of them has already
been answered.” Taiitsukun smiled at them in what seemed amusement.
