A quick note: I didn't create any of these characters..I WISH! Maybe I can find that book...;; anyhoo. Im not making money off this so please dun sue me!
Also: I know Nuriko is a GUY but since he's always saying he has the heart of a woman I feel it best to call him "she", "her", etc. I dun mind constructive critisism at all (it helps improve my *very small* skill) but please dun be mean. My wittle heart can't take it. Arigatou ^_^

"I wish to make everything in Tokyo go back to the way it was! As if nothing happened!"
It was dark. And his back was sore. Of course that was probably because he had landed on his back with a smack right onto the hard earth. The fact he had his eyes squeezed shut would explain the darkness too.
He heard grunting around him, four..no five? voices all moaning in about the same manner.
A seperate voice made a different sound, however, "Miaka.." was all the person said, the man's sorrowful tone repeating the name over and over.
Suddenly, the man on the ground felt a shove in his shoulder, a voice close to him speaking out, "Oy, Tasuki! Get up allready, no da!"
He opened his eyes, looking right up into the face of his spikey blue-haired friend..or rather the mask that covered his face. Tasuki sat up, rubbing the back of his head and groaning, "Where are we?"
"We're back home, no da." his friend replied.
"All of us, ChiChiri?" Tasuki asked, cricking his neck and letting his eyes adjust to the light of the late morning sun.
ChiChiri was silent, lowering his head slightly in response to the question.
Tasuki looked over at the man he had heard speaking in the first place, only able to see his back although it was obvious from the slump of the shoulders that all wasn't well with him. He ran his fingers once or twice through his red hair, "Lookin' at Tamahome I'd say Miaka ain't with us.."
A blue haired woman walked over to Tamahome, placing her hand upon his shoulder but the man merely jerked away, his head hung low as he shoved his hands in his pockets and walked a bit down the hill to be alone with his thoughts.
Tasuki sighed, "He's gonna be like that a while."
ChiChiri nodded as a young boy walked over to be with them, his brown hair gathered into a high and short ponytail at the top of his head, his hands hidden within his sleeves.
"Hey Chiriko." Tasuki smiled, a fang poking out, "How's it feel to be back?"
The boy smiled, "Good I guess." he then lost his smile slightly, "Will Tamahome be okay?"
"Sure he will." came a voice from behind, the three males looking up at the one that had spoken, a small white cat resting upon his shoulders, "He's lived through a lot..he just needs to have some time with himself and his family."
"Mitsukake's right, no da." ChiChiri stated, "Tamahome's been through worse.."
"I don't know about that." the woman said as she walked back over to the others, "Tama-baby seems pretty torn up."
The men looked at her then over at the hillside Tamahome had.
"It's a sad day when even I, the wonderful Nuriko, can't cheer up my Tama-baby." she said.
The four men looked at her, blank expressions on their faces. They then shook their heads as another voice spoke from the side.
"They will see eachother again."
The group looked over at the man that made the statement, his long silver hair tied back behind him but floating gently upon the wind. His face was neutral as he stared off towards the horizon.
"You really think so, Hotohori?" Nuriko asked.
The emprorer turned his gaze to face her, "The power of Suzaku is based upon love..." he then looked back to the horizon, "A love like theirs will surpass time and space."
He then looked at them again, "I must get back to the palace...I wish to see my wife and son."
Hotohori then walked down the hill, emperial grace hidden in each step.
"Aren't ya gonna chase after him, Nuriko?" Tasuki grinned, his fangs showing.
Nuriko hmphed. "He's taken now! Besides..I don't think he likes the kinda girl I am." she stated, alluding to the secret the Suzako no seishi had discovered during their journeys.
"Heh heh.." Tasuki said, unable to pass up the oppourtunity, "Yeah..not to many men want--mmph!"
He was cut off by ChiChiri's hand covering his mouth, the monk sweatdropping and laughing nervously.
Nuriko gave Tasuki and ChiChiri an evil eye as the red head struggled under the monk's grasp, flailing his arms angrily. She then hmphed again flicking her hair behind her, "Well I'm heading into town. Any of you guys coming with?"
"Sure I'll come." Mitsukake said, uncrossing his arms and walking over to stand next to Nuriko.
"Me too." Chiriko smiled, "I can get back to reading. There's a library in town, right?"
Nuriko shrugged, "Uh..sure kid." she obviously had no idea nor did she really care. Nuriko was ready to enjoy life again and a nice cup or two..or three of sake would really hit the spot.
"Uh..what about you two?" she then added, looking at the two others, Tasuki still flailing under ChiChiri's hand.
"We'll catch up with you, no da." ChiChiri smiled nervously, Tasuki trying to get out a word but everything ending up muffled by the monk's hand.
Nuriko looked at them like they were nuts before shrugging, "Allright suit yourself." she then turned and walked off down the grassy hill, Mitsukake and Chiriko following close behind.
ChiChiri kept his hand over Tasuki's mouth until he was sure the group was gone, the redhead simply growling now as he missed his perfect oppourtunity to diss Nuriko.
The monk then let go, Tasuki promptly whacking ChiChiri on the head and shouting, "What ya do that for?!"
"Ow!" ChiChiri explaimed, rubbing his head.
Tasuki grr'd. "Man! Perfect oppourtunity." he folded his arms over his chest in a huff, sitting cross-legged on the grass of the hilltop.
ChiChiri fluffed his blue hair, "Well they're heading into town, no da. You wanna do the same, no da?"
"Hmm.." Tasuki pondered, "I wanted to see the gang again...will there be a bar in this town?"
"Uh...sure no da." ChiChiri replied, obviously not knowing nor really caring about going to get drunk.
"Allright!" Tasuki leaped up pointing foreward, "To sake! er.. town!"
ChiChiri deformed, jumping onto Tasuki's shoulders and smiling in his chibi form.
"Gah!" Tasuki jolted, "You always gotta do that?!"
ChiChiri simply nodded, holding onto Tasuki's neck as the redhead rolled his eyes and headed off into town.
