Okay, I got inspiration, lemme go while I got it!
Miaka and Taka had been happy. They had gotten married and had a baby on the way. Everything was perfect. Except Miaka, she had a restlessness to go back into the book. Taka became furious and just didn't want her anymore. She felt alone and depressed since the night he told her.
FLASHBACK (Cant do it without a decent one)
" Miaka, I just… don't feel that way about you anymore. I mean, we were 15 and pretty reckless…"
"But Taka, you promised you would love me forever, you came from another world!"
" Yeah, but lust can be a pretty powerfull feeling also. Look Miaka, its not that I don't like you, I like you very much. But, there's another girl…"
"You've been cheating on me! IM PREGNANT YOU, YOU… ARGH!"
Flash forward
Miaka sat, slumped in the restricted section of the library. She looked along the spines of all the books until she found the one she was looking for. She quickly snatched it off the shelf.
"Suzaku" She whispered, "Please, take me back. I can't do this right now, take me back please!"
The form of a brilliant bird appeared in front of her.
"Priestess, I will allow you to go back to deal with your heart, for I AM the god of love, but you WILL have to come back, do you understand?"
"Yes, please take me!"
"Yes, priestess"
"Thank you divine Suzaku!"
A red glow surrounded the priestess, she was floating over an expanse of nothing, and then all at once, she was surrounded by whirls of colour and sound. The priestess looked up and was at the feet of a blue haired fox.
"CHIRI!"
"Miaka?" Chichiri asked. Then he saw her rounded belly and quickly aided her up. As soon as she was steady on her feet she launched herself into him with a bone-crushing hug.
"I missed you guys so much!"
"Even me?" Said a bashful voice behind her. A shock of red mane confirmed her suspicions.
"Tasuki!" She grinned. She attempted to hug him but he dodged her grasp.
"Hey, remember, kids don't like me much ya baka!"
"Shut up and give me a hug" Tasuki laughed and complied, although as he did a small kick was received in his stomach. Tasuki laughed heartily.
" I told ya kids hate me," Tasuki laughed out
" It was a mistake, he or she will love you!" Miaka assured him.
"I'm sorry to ruin the mood no da, but Miaka, why are you here?" Chichiri interrupted. At this Miaka started to cry silently.
"Maybe we should get her in before we go inta detail" Tasuki said, picking Miaka up.
"We can't have ya cryin in the court yard" Tasuki assured. Miaka for the first time realized she was in the mt. Reikaku hideout.
Tasuki carried Miaka into the hideout and Chichiri stayed close behind.
"Geez Miaka, Did ya gain some weight or what?" Tasuki teased while still being able to hold her quite easily.
" Im pregnant dipshit" Miaka said getting angry.
"I fergot ya were prone ta mood swings too" Tasuki said still teasing.
"Shut up" Miaka said, and for once he did. But he kept his wolfish grin, which made it hard for Miaka to be angry with him.
"I didn't realize how much I missed both of you" Miaka stated. By that time they had made it to Tasuki s room and Chichiri shut the door behind them. Tasuki laid Miaka on the bed and stood up straight. Miaka noticed he had grown a few inches.
"So Miaka, what is wrong no da?" Chichiri inquired. Miaka burst into tears again and her seishi sat on either side of her to comfort her.
"Taka…He left me, he said it was all lust. He left me alone, and I'm pregnant for Suzakus sake!"
"That bastard!" Tasuki growled, quickly standing up and pulling his tessen out. " Ill fry his goddamn ass!"
"Tasuki, later no da" Chichiri stated, not bothering to actually stop his friends anger, anger Chichiri shared also. "So why are YOU here Miaka no da?"
"I asked Suzaku… he said he was sending me here until, well I don't know, no, I don't care!" She said sobs coming back full force. "That's enough for now no da" Chichiri concluded. "So how long no da?" Chichiri inquired.
"8 months!" Miaka said, mood forgotten, she was used to the question by now.
"I could be an uncle any day then no da!" Chichiri said lightening the mood, she switched to chibi form and was doing cartwheels to make Miaka laugh.
"So Tama- Taka, left you after 8 months" Tasuki stated, his anger far from forgotten. Miakas eyes brimmed with tears again. Tasuki noticing this, immediately softened. "So are ya gonna name yer kid little Genrou?" Tasuki asked.
Miaka immediately laughed again, "Not in your lifetime!" She laughed.
"So what are the names no da!" Chichiri asked, jumping up next to Miaka, he pulled his mask off and she saw happiness in his eye. Miaka hadn't been this happy in months.
"Well, I had a few ideas. Taka and I… No I wall name him. Or her" She added as an afterthought. "Well, I guess if it was a girl, Kourin. And if it was a boy… I don't know"
"Lets hope it's a boy then, so when ya have the kid you'll think of him kicking me and say 'lets call him Tasuki!'" The bold bandit stated.
"No, she will say, he looks so innocent, he reminds me of Chichiri no da! Then she will name him Chiri in my honour no da!" Chichiri challenged. Miaka was barely containing her laughter by now.
"I don't know, Maybe Hotohori…"
"Yeah, if it IS a girl" Tasuki stated. Miaka was right out belly laughing at that point.
"Maybe, Shunu…"Miaka said when she had some composure. Then it was Tasukis turn to laugh. He has tears of laughter in his eyes by the time Chichiri caught on. Then the monk couldn't help but chuckle at Miaka.
"What's so funny about Shunu?" Miaka said. Tasuki looked into her green eyes with his amber ones.
"Did I ever tell ya my real name?" Tasuki chortled.
"No" Miaka stated.
"My birth name is Kou Shunu" then Tasuki couldn't help but laugh at Miakas expression. Miaka stared at him while he laughed. His hair had grown and so did he. He looked- and acted now that Miaka thought about it, older. Chichiri on the other hand looked wiser and holier. Then Miaka couldn't help but laugh at the two of them. She had missed them.
Couple a hours later
Miaka had been left after a good reunion in Tasukis room, to use as her own. She had found a shirt of his, and was surprised that in her pregnant state it fit her. Well, then again his clothes were always way too baggy. The shirt went down to her knees almost, not that anyone would look at her when she was so fat, even Taka… She wouldn't think of him now. Miaka tossed and turned, but her baby was restless. She couldn't find sleep. She decided, stupidly, to roam the hallways.
Miaka walked to the end of the corridor outside of her room and found a stair well. She walked up and found herself on the fortress wall. It was a nice place to walk under the stars. Miaka did just that. When she had done two full laps she lay down and looked up. She was naming off all the Suzaku constellations as she found them. Then of course, Tamahome showed up. She stared at the constellation, with contempt in her heart, she stared at the stars. Her gazing was interrupted by another warrior who happened to stand over her at that moment.
"GEEZ! Tasuki! You scared me!"
"Ya? Well yer wanderin around at night, in a bandit hideaway! I was worried! Ya coulda been caught, an with these guys… not to say there bad, but anyone when theyre drunk kin make a mistake… SO whatcha thinking about Aka?"
"Taka… I can't believe after all that's happened, all I did for him. All he did for me…"
"Some guys have what it takes, some don't." Tasuki stated.
"We were MARRIED. I'm PREGNANT!"
"I know that" Tasuki said, he sat next to Miaka, and helped her sit up. She held onto his arm for support as they sat. Miaka started to cry again.
"Ya know I hate ta see ya cry Aka…" Tasuki said quietly.
"I cant help it Tas" Miaka said. Tasuki just groaned. Suddenly an idea struck him.
"So you say you fell in love
And you're gonna get married
Raise yourself a family
How simple life can be" Tasuki started quietly, as if unsure of his voice. When Miaka leaned closer to hear him, his confidence rose, and so did his voice.
"Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you aint got the heart
to finish what you started" His mournful voice was filled with sorrow for Miaka, and she could hear it tone and words.
"Yeah you fell in love
And you went and got married
Had yourself a family
How simple life can be
Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you aint got the heart
to finish what you started" His voice quickened and swelled. Miaka was listening intently now as the tune turned harsh.
"The ones that you loved
The ones that you left behind
The ones you said you'd try to find
Are they tryin' to find you?" He looked into Miakas eyes and sang right to her. He repeated the verse twice before she realized he was talking about himself and Chichiri.
"Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you ain't got the heart
to finish what you started
You walked out that door
To find out where you belong
To fulfill your own selfish dreams
I think you might have forgotten" Tasuki sang the last part with contempt. Miaka never knew he felt that badly about her leaving, now she knew, and was sorry she ever left her warriors. ANY of them. She no longer counted Taka as a warrior. When he finished the verse, Tasuki stopped abruptly.
"Don't stop" Miaka pleaded. Tasuki just gave her a fanged grin and launched off in a rowdy voice
"The ones that you loved
The ones that you left behind
The ones you said you'd try to find
Are they tryin' to find you?" Tasuki repeated the verse again and Miaka understood it was over. She knew Tasuki just showed her a part of him he probably never would again.
"Thank you" Miaka said and went to go to her room. She realized she still had his arm and blushed. Tasuki stood up and offered his hand to pull her up, he couldn't see her red face. When she was up he offered her his arm and she took it with a laugh. She just grinned in his way and took her back to her room. When he left and was sure she was safely in bed, Chichiri popped up behind him.
"You have a nice voice Tasuki" Chichiri teased.
"Thanks fox face" Tasuki jabbed back.
