Fushigi Yuugi Fan Fiction ❯ Why Taka ❯ Goodbye, Yui ( Chapter 11 )

Since only one person reviewed, I know that person was Starry Serenity (sorry if I spelled
your name wrong) I will not be getting Miaka pregnant (whew). The story will continue from
here. (Thanks Starry, I kinda owe you my sanity, making Miaka pregnant would have been hard
for me o.O;;;*whew*)

Chapter 11- Goodbye, Yui

READ: The program I write this story on saved the story all weird. And when I uploaded it, it had been messed up, sorry if it has many spaces between the paragraphs and sorry if hlaf the sentence finishes on the other line. I tried fixing it and it keeps turning out that way..:

Miaka opened her eyes to find her head pounding with extreme pain. She moaned and put her hand to her head and then lay back down. She turned her head to the side and felt someone shift and mumble something. Suddenly scared, her eyes flew open and she jumped out of the bed on the opposite side. When she jumped she crashed into the table by her bed, knocking a cup of water to the ground with a loud clang. Tasuki's head flew up and his eyes saw a rapidly breathing Miaka with a terrified look on her face. He stared up at her until the look on her face vanished. Miaka gasped and crawled back on the bed, shaking a little, reaching for
Tasuki. Tasuki stood up and reached for her hand, helping her off the bed.

He looked hard at her. First at her eyes, then her lips. He looked back at her eyes and almost missed the words that Miaka said.

"Tasuki, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

Tasuki moaned and grabbed Miaka in his arms, squeezing her, afraid to let her go. He waited
for her arms to go around him. He smiled when they wrapped around his waist, resting his chin on
her shoulder, lightly squeezing her. He ignored every ounce of pain that he had - he had Miaka back in his arms and he wasn't going let her go, not now, not ever.

He turned his head so his lips were touching the arch of her neck. He breathed and took in everything he was feeling. His moved his head and rubbed his face along her neck, making Miaka smile. She pulled her head away and brought her lips up and kissed him. The kiss was full of longing.

Neither of them wanted to break the kiss but Tasuki felt he needed to, if he was going to
keep his cool. He pulled his face away to look at Miaka who still had her eyes closed. He reached
up and put his hand on Miaka's face. Her small hand reached up and took his in hers.

"I thought you were…dead." he whispered.

She looked at him and stared, and after some time, he reached down and took Miaka's hand in his.

"Let's go see the others." He held her hand and they walked out, hand in hand.

**********************************

"I'm not quite sure how we did it, but we have to wait until she wakes up to see if she is
still under the spell that Taka had put on her, ya know. It seems that the little earring that she
was wearing was a sort of connection that Taka had used to control her body. So all we have to
do is, when she wakes up, ask her what she remembers." said Chichiri as they walked in.

"I don't remember anything." Miaka said when she heard Chichiri mention her as she
walked in the room. Tasuki felt her hand tremble and he squeezed it trying to comfort her. She
took her hand away and held it at her side. Tasuki looked down at her.

"Miaka! You're awake!" Shouted everyone in the room except Tasuki, who was looking at
Miaka with a look in his eyes that sympathized.

"Why do I feel like I did something wrong? I know I did something but I don't remember.
My heart hurts, and it feels like I betrayed everyone and I don't even know what I did. I've felt so much guilt since I woke up and I don't understand. What did I do this time? I'm always getting everyone into
danger. I -"

"Miaka, what happened wasn't your fault. There's no need to blame yourself. We just
know now that we need to keep a closer eye on you now that Taka is getting help
from someone," Hotohori paused and looked at Tasuki. "Do not worry yourself with silly thoughts that you were the one who caused it."

"But I am the one who caused it. If I had only stayed there with him and not came back
when Suzaku asked me to, things would be the same as they always were."

Hotohori sighed quietly and walked over to Miaka. He took her hands and held them in
his and tilted his face towards her hands. He looked in her eyes and then at Tasuki who was
warning him to get away from Miaka before he killed him with his eyes. He ignored Tasuki and
took Miaka in a bear hug, holding her and explaining.

"Miaka, the reason why Suzaku called to you was because Chichiri sensed something
about Taka - he wasn't himself. If you had stayed, you could have died. Taka did not change
because of you coming here. He has been this way for some time now. I think that when we took
action to try and save you, he got angry and tried to get you back."

He kept on hugging her and kept on being as close as he could with Tasuki around until she slowly nodded.

"Okay." She said, slowly nodding her head.

*****************************

**A FEW HOURS LATER, HEHE**

Miaka sat in her room reading a book when she heard a few quiet knocks on her door.
She looked up and saw the door open slowly and Hotohori's smiling head poke in through the
crack. Miaka smiled and sat up closing her book.

"Oh hello, Hotohori. Come in and sit down." She patted the bed next to her. Hotohori
walked in and left the door open. He sat down next to her and he pulled a small, round, white
mirror out of his robes.

"Miaka, look into this mirror, concentrate all of your strength into this mirror."

Miaka looked at him with a puzzling look on her face and she took the mirror and looked
into it. She stared in her reflection as she saw the picture swirl and an image appeared. Miaka
gasped.

"YUI! "

"Hey Miaka, are you all right? I was so worried about you. I didn't-" the mirror was
snatched and a smiling image of Tetsuya appeared.

"YOUR ALL RIGHT!"

Miaka smiled as she witnessed Tetsuya and Yui fight over who was going to hold the
mirror. Yui eventually won and she looked into the mirror and Miaka could see Tetsuya's body
on the floor twitching.

"Miaka, what happened to you? I haven't read the scroll lately and I don't know what's
going on."

"Taka was the one. Chichiri told me that he thought he recognized the life force and when
we found out it was Taka, he already knew."

"Yui, I'm sorry." Miaka began, " I'm sorry, I wanted to see you before I had to go and I
don't think I should ask Suzaku to send me back. I wanted to say goodbye and Chichiri told me
that this was the only way I was able to see you one last time. After I leave, the mirror is going to be sent back here in Chichiri's possession. I asked if you can keep it and he said that the object being in that world would interrupt the world over there somehow. I can't see you or Tetsuya or Keisuke or anyone after this. I'm so sorry. I'm going to miss you all."

"Its all right Miaka, we will always be together," she paused, "No matter what. We will
always be friends and even time and distance won't change that."

"Oh Yui." Miaka started crying. She looked at Hotohori who was looking at Miaka with
sad eyes.

"Miaka, I will miss you."

"Yui, tell my brother that I'm sorry. Remember you have the scroll and you can read it.
Tell Tetsuya goodbye for me. I have to go now. I love you Yui. Good bye, my friend." Yui's tear
stricken face swirled and the spell was closed. Miaka looked back in the mirror and saw her
crying reflection. Two tears fell silently onto the mirror's surface as Miaka whispered her dear best friend's name once more.
