Still Morning at Konan Palace; Tamahome's Room

Tamahome awoke earlier then he wanted to due to the fact that the sun was coming in through the window, which he was sleeping by. He rolled over and looked up on the bed, not remembering that Miaka was there until he saw her, then he wished he hadn't looked. She was even more beautiful in the morning then she was in the day. Her fiery red hair drifted down over her shoulders and flowed further on down her chest. Her one strap of her spaghetti strapped shirt had slide down her shoulder and was exposing some of her breast, which Tamahome tried not to notice, but he failed miserably and started to get aroused at the sight of her. Then he noticed that her short boxers had risen in her sleep and were now exposing her white silky panties. This was the last straw.

Tamahome began to inch up to Miaka till he was only inches from her. He admired her beauty immensely and stared at her for a few seconds before placing his lips over hers and moving one hand to her left breast gently cupping and kneading it through her skimpy top. She gently moaned while returning the kiss, and slowly opens her eyes. He broke the kiss abruptly looking at her for a sign to go on, but instead Miaka smiled, pushed him away, and turned on her side. She felt his hand rubbing up and down her side and began to squirm uncomfortably.

"Tamahome! Stop that!!!!" Miaka smiled slightly before tossing his hand to the side.

Tamahome then moved his hand lower, searching for the "correct spot", which would drive her crazy. He slowly pulled down her short boxers and traced his fingers along her moist panties, sending chills over her body making her tense.

"Ohhhhhhhhh.......Tamahome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She looked up at him, scared of how forward he was being.

He looked into her eyes and sensed their apprehensiveness. "Don't worry Miaka, I promise, I'll be gentle if you let me." He slide her panties gently down over her hips and off her body and then he pulled her top over her head and started to kiss her neck.

Just then there was a knock on the door and then it opened and Chichiri walked in. "Priestess I have a message from..." His voice drifted off as he saw what was taking place and he quickly averted his eyes and turned his back to them. His mask fell off in the process revealing a single tear running down his cheek.

He kept his back to them allowing Miaka time to get dressed, and then he bent down and picked up his mask placing it over his tear stained face.

"His Majesty wishes to talk to you alone Miaka." With that he turned and left.

Miaka stood up as she finished putting on her clothes. "I have to go see Hotohori."

Tamahome grabbed her wrist and pulled her back for a kiss, but she pulled away and left for the Emperor's room.

Palace Lake

Chichiri made his way down to the Palace Lake. He sat down on the cliff, where he spent many of days fishing and took off his mask putting his head in his hands.

"She doesn't even know that I have feelings for her, ya know. What am I talking about, I'm just to shy to tell her and she is to busy with Tamahome and Hotohori to notice my feelings, ya know. I just want her to be happy and Tamahome makes her happy, but why does it have to hurt so damn much when I see them together!!!!"

He snapped his fingers and a fishing pole appeared. He then baited the pole and threw it into the lake. "I know I am just a warrior of Suzaku and I should only be protecting her, but I've done my job so well that I've developed feelings for her, I've gotten too close to her. I need to get rid of these feelings before they hurt someone else besides me."

Kutou Palace; War Room

Nakago paced in the war room impatiently. Yui said she would be dressed and ready to go to Konan in twenty minutes, but he swore that it had already been thirty minutes and still there was no sign of her.

"Where is she?" he said aloud.

"Are you looking for Lady Yui?" Nakago turned around to see Suboshi standing behind him.

"Yes, it seems that girl is always late, it must be her age."

"Yeah it must be." Suboshi stated looking slightly down.

"You like her don't you?" Nakago said in a calm yet comforting voice. "It's written in your eyes and yet you don't tell her."

"She seems more interested in Tamahome not to mention..." He cut himself short because he saw Yui and Soy walking towards them.

"Hi guys!" Yui stated in a happy tone. Nakago, I invited Soy and Suboshi to come along with us, I hope you don't mind."

"No not at all Yui...as long as it gets the job done." Nakago then noticed Yui outfit. She was dressed in some rather immodest female armor. She wore a rather form fitting breastplate that seemed to show off her every curve. His eyes continued to venture down until he found the next distracting piece of her so called "armor", a very short skirt that was black in color. His eyes ventured more until he finally saw the last item, a pair of black knee high boots with at least a three-inch heel. Attached to her one hip was a long slender black whip with a leather handle and to her other was sheath with a very long sword in it that had a shiny silver handle. He admitted to himself that it was a better outfit then what she normally wore and that it was a nice change of pace.

He looked over at Suboshi who was taking in the whole thing for himself and found that Suboshi was actually staring at Yui, making her rather uncomfortable. Nakago hit him on the back and he blushed and turned away.

"Do you like it? I borrowed some of Soy's old clothing." Yui looked at both men waiting for a comment. They both swallowed hard not sure how to answer the question.

Nakago was the first to speak. "It's nice, it really is. What do you think Suboshi?"

Suboshi blushed in response. "It looks very...umm...lovely on you, Yui..."

Yui smiled in response to both of them, then hugged Soy "Thank you. Tamahome will surely find me attractive in this outfit."

Soy smiled a motherly smile. "If he doesn't he is not worth your time Priestess."

"I think we are ready to go. Prepare the horses!"

Konan Palace; Outside Hotohori's bedroom

"I wonder what Hotohori wants to see me about...," Miaka thought as she stood outside the Emperor's bedroom. "Especially in his bedroom!!! Maybe I am making a big deal out of nothing. He probably just wants to talk to me about something related to summoning Suzaku or me being the Priestess of Suzaku. Yeah, that's it! He wants to talk about that."

Miaka knocked on the emperor's bedroom door. "Hotohori, it's me, Miaka!" Hotohori soon answered the door.

"Hi Miaka. Glad you could come. Please come in." She came in and he shut the door behind her.

Hotohori ushered her into the bedroom and they both sat on the bed, since the room lacked chairs. "I've been meaning to talk to you Miaka. I don't know how you feel about me, but I really do love you as I have stated endlessly before. I want you to be with me. You could have anything you wanted here. I would give you anything you wanted. I guess what I am saying is I want you to reconsider being the Empress of Konan"

He gently stoked her hair as she leaned her head on his shoulder. "I know you could Hotohori, but some times that is not what is important in a relationship. I love Tamahome and he loves me. I know sometimes he can be rude and even down right wrong, but I still love him in my heart. No matter how much he hurts me...You deserve better than me any way. I'm flattered that you have chosen me out of all the women you could have, but sadly I can not return your feelings because I do not feel the same thing I feel with Tamahome with you. It's different. I mean I have feelings for you, but it's not as strong as the feelings I have for Tamahome."

She broke down crying. "I gotta go!" She ran out of the room.
***************************************************************** *************
Konan's Royal Garden

Miaka ran until her legs could not carry her any more then she collapsed in the middle of the royal garden weeping.

"Why do men think I am a prize to be won?? Pretty so I am just going to say to hell with all men and go back home and become a nun!! Why does everyone want something from me? Especially such big things...Hotohori wants me to become his wife...The empress of Konan. Tamahome wants me to give myself to him because he doesn't want to loose me and that is how he thinks he is going to keep me. I'm too scared to do either thing. I feel so alone."

Chichiri and Tasuki were walking in the garden when they heard Miaka crying and they hid in a rose bush and heard the whole conversation.

"I can't believe Tamahome is trying to force himself on Miaka and he doesn't understand how it makes her feel." Chichiri exclaimed.

"HA! Tamahome didn't make it past 2nd base!!!" Tasuki said in a rather annoying voice. He went on. "I can't believe Hotohori is putting all this unbelievable pressure on her. I mean she is only one girl, not to mention a young girl. First he puts the pressure of being the Priestess of Suzaku on her, now he wants to make her his Empress too. That's too much for one girl. I mean to go from childhood to adulthood so fast. Poor Miaka. Do you think we should comfort her?"

Chichiri sighed. "I don't think I should it would only be an awkward moment, since I do have feelings for her, and she certainly doesn't need an awkward moment. It would only make me feel down. Maybe you should talk to her and I will stay here and listen."

Tasuki looked at Chichiri seriously. "You like Miaka?"

Chichiri shook his head yes.

"That is a very noble thing to do...I mean push away your feelings for her benefit." Tasuki smiled. "You are a true friend to her."

Tasuki stood up and smiled at Chichiri. "I'll go talk to her, but you know how much I dislike talking to girls."

Tasuki picked a rose off a bush then started to walk towards Miaka who was still crying on the ground. He bent down and handed her the rose. "You know pretty ladies should not be on the ground crying...especially a priestess, it doesn't suit them."

Miaka smiled slightly. "Thanks Tasuki...so you heard everything?"

Tasuki shook his head yes and took Miaka's hand and helped her up. Then he sat at a near by bench and patted the seat beside him. Miaka came over and sat beside him waiting for him to give her advice.

"Well the only thing I can tell you Miaka is to follow your heart. It knows what is wrong and right for you." Tasuki placed his hand on her shoulder only to have her wrap her arms around his neck hugging him.

"You are a great friend Tasuki...Thanks for being here for me..." Tasuki returned the hug wrapping his hand around her waist..."Your...." Tasuki heard a twig snap.

"Sorry to break this heart filled moment!" Nakago boomed from behind them making them both jump. Tasuki still had his arms wrapped around Miaka waist then he broke the embrace and pushed Miaka behind him. "Miaka take cover!"

"I will not!! I want to fight with you!!"

"What the hell do you know about fighting???" Tasuki screamed at her.

"Umm....Well I did watch some of the Women's Wrestling Championship when I was at home."

Tasuki looked at her funny. "Wrestling?" Before he can ask any more, Nakago sent an energy blast directly his way, which Tasuki and Miaka barely dodged. Tasuki slowly stood back up and took out his iron fan.

"Rekka Shinen!!!!!!!" he screamed. As his voice evoked the sacred technique, the fan, which he was holding unleashed a deadly stream of heat. The yellow and red-hued flames lapped outwards, spiraling for Nakago's body, but the experienced warrior spun slightly, causing the raging fire to miss him by mere inches. However, this also gave Tasuki enough time to see that Miaka was slowly coming to.

"Miaka I said take cover!"

Miaka looked at Tasuki and decided that she better obey him and started to get up, but she saw a pair of boots at her side.

"Hello Priestess of Suzaku...nice to finally meet you." Soy stated in a polite voice before kicking Miaka in the stomach, making her roll the opposite way on to her back. She grabbed her abdomen in pain as the air escaped her lungs. After a few moments she rolled onto her stomach and pushed herself up.

"Sorry for the impolite introduction. I'm the Seiryu warrior known as Soy."

Miaka, not worried about herself, looked over to where Tasuki was, only to see that he was fighting an up-hill battle. Now the confrontation had turned to punches and kicks instead of magic.

Nakago connected with a sidekick, but then Tasuki hit him with a left hook. Nakago simply smiled after Tasuki's fist connected with him. Tasuki realized then that his blow had not affected the other warrior. In response, Nakago powered up for another energy blast. The energy gathered in his hand briefly then stuck out like an extended limb. Tasuki thought he was going to go left with the blast so Tasuki dodged right, however he had miscalculated. As he pivoted his foot to move to the right, Nakago adjusted his hand slightly, sending the wall of energy directly towards Tasuki's intended path. Tasuki cursed as he saw the energy streak straight for him. The blow was unbearable. The energy surged through his body, causing him to topple over onto his knees.

Miaka gasped as she saw Tasuki fall to his knees. "No more fighting!!!" she screamed, only to get kicked in the stomach once more by Soy.

Soy smirked. "Now, now we must learn to keep our mouth quiet unless talked to."

Nakago adverted his eyes from Tasuki to Miaka and smiled an evil smile, which sent chills down her spine. He moved behind Tasuki who was still stunned from the attack and kicked him in the head...knocking him out cold then he laughed. "This is too easy."

Chichiri watched the whole incident from the rose bush, barely able to contain his feelings towards Miaka. Wanting to kill both Soy and Nakago, but holding back thinking it would be better because then he could tell the rest of the celestial warriors about the incident that had unfolded. He turned his attention back to the fight.

Nakago turned his attention back to Miaka. "Hello my sweet Miaka. I'm sorry for the harsh treatment, but it has to be done."

Miaka by this time had gotten to her knees and was basically kneeling as Nakago walked closer to her. She decided it would be better to run, then to have him beat her to a bloody pulp. She got her courage up and made a mad dash towards the garden gate, but Nakago was already ahead of her and held out his hand straight and with a gesture of his wrist she was frozen in place.

"No need to run my dear...You'll never get away from me, I'm much more powerful then you are and you know it, so why try?" Soy came behind Miaka and grabbed her by both her hands pinning them behind her back while Nakago released the spell.

"Shall I chain her or tie her up Nakago?" Soy asked with a slight smile.

"No that's not needed...but I think a gag is before she decides to scream."

Soy ripped a piece of her outfit and tied it around Miaka's mouth.

Nakago looked at her. "Now don't take that off or I'll have no choice but to get mad" he stated before kissing her forehead. He then picked her up cradling her as if she was a baby. Then he carried her to his horse and put her on it sidesaddle.

"Soy go help Lady Yui. Tell her I already got our first captive." With that he mounted his horse getting on behind Miaka, then slapped his horse with the sides of his feet. The horse started up at a fast pace towards Kutou.
