Another fanfic about Miaka and Tamahome... this fic is based on the events
and dialogues of the third episode of the first ova series ( ''Parting...
and then'' ) and the last one of the anime, (I believe they 're linked in
some way and together they make the plot more clear to me) but I also added
a few things myself. I hope especially the fans of this beautiful pairing
will like this story... comments will be appreciated so leave a review so I
could know your opinion about this.
Disclaimer: I do not own " Fushigi Yuugi" and the characters who are mentioned in the fanfic.

" This is as far as you go."
The warrior with the "ogre" symbol glowing on his forehead, his eyes burning with anger, anticipated Tenkou's lethal blow before it reach the seishi and the two Mikos.
Tamahome managed to free himself from the awful clutches of kodoku thanks to Miaka, whose love for him pierced like light through thick gray clouds, the darkness that encircled Tamahome's mind.
Now the warrior had recovered completely from the dark power of kodoku but still there was another unpredictable problem concerning Miaka and Tamahome and their deepest wish to share an everlasting bond beyond realities, to live together.
Unfortunately, how this was supposed to happen since even their happy reunion was going to be short-lived?
" Right. Even if the Tenchisho is sealed, if you two are in the same world, it's useless." Taitsukun explained.
The words, the truth, struck fiercely Tamahome. Miaka was shocked, unable that moment to accept it and waited anxiously - the worry was shown clearly on her face- to hear what more Taitsukun had to say.
Standing close to his miko, Tamahome could feel her nervousness rising, while he also realized that from the moment Taitsukun started to explain their situation, he was holding his breath, as if he was afraid that if he let his breath out, he would hear what he feared the most but... it didn't work.
" It was unreasonable, Tamahome. You cannot live in Miaka's world with your past memories. This is the fate of the Miko and the Sichiseishi."
[ * Tamahome's pov * ]
Hearing this, suddenly I felt so weak... so hopeless... as if I found myself at the mercy of an unknown enemy that couldn't be defeated.
My Destiny itself.
I was almost taken by a powerful urge to grab Miaka by the hand and run, run away somewhere that we could be safe, away from Destiny.
The only thing that stopped me from doing so, was that... I didn't want to believe what I just heard. I REFUSED to believe it. I didn't want to be true.
I couldn't bear it.
I watched Miaka slowly approaching Taitsukun. What she was going to say? I truly needed to know what she was thinking right now...
I just stood where I was, my hands curled tightly into fists from the tension. I couldn't hear what Miaka was telling Taitsukun because she kept her voice low and because of the distance between us.
But after few moments, Miaka spoke her thoughts out loud, a scream of despair, coming right from her frail, yet courageous soul.
" I 'll work hard, so... I 'll do anything. So, please tell me. You 're the one who said that everything is people's feelings. That people's hearts are what create miracles. I don't need to be able to give up! Is that being grown up? If saying that, " it's beyond us" and giving up is being adult then... I don't wanna become one... No, NO! "
It astounded me the strength and passion into her words. Hot tears filled quickly my eyes and fell down my face... we were both hurting the same...
She stood up and drew closer to me and fell in my arms. I pulled her close to me gently and she embraced me back, her face buried in my shoulder. None of us tried to say anything, as we both knew what the other wanted to say to the other, we were feeling the same way...
She pulled away a little so she could be facing me, and I stared into her eyes.
Miaka. My priestess. My angel. My joy and tears.
She meant everything to me but... it was decided to lose her.
I looked at my ring. I was so happy *that* day.
And now...
I slipped off the ring, with pain in my heart, my eyes never leaving Miaka's... I needed her to keep it, to take it with her, the symbol of our bond...
[ * Miaka's pov * ]
Tamahome...
I 've never seen him so much in pain... so broken.
Why?
Why do we have to give up?
Tamahome wanted me to keep the ring... I searched his gaze for few minutes, to see if he needed to tell me something after he placed the ring into my hand... I truly needed to hear something from him at that moment... but really, I was glad he didn't try to say "goodbye". I am sure, none of us wanted to be like this.
We couldn't. It was too much, only to think about it. For both of us.
As I realized he couldn't find his voice from the weight of all these emotions - just like me- I turned around, my eyes were fixed on the ring in my palm as I walked, as if I were afraid to set my eyes on the future and sought for an answer to my questions into this ring...
As I headed to Yui, I glanced at my protectors and dear friends, the Suzaku seishi, who had looked after me during our mission here.
I was going to miss them. We may not were as close as I was with Tamahome, but after all that we have been through together, they affected in many different ways a big part of me and my life.
Forever.
" Thank you." I managed to say as I turned towards them, unable to hold back the tears, " Everyone, thank you." I meant it with all my heart.
Yui and I were ready to leave.
" Kaijin." the bright symbol appeared on Yui's forehead as she was about to make the final wish. My teary eyes met with Tamahome's sorrowful ones.
Was it over?
" Seal the Tenchisho forever. Sever the two worlds completely." Yui spoke and a bright light surrounded us.
His eyes widened in shock. He couldn't do anything now, neither me.
" TAMAHOME !" I shouted out loud in despair before everything disappear from my vision...
We were drifting back to our own world, I was holding on to Yui, my eyes closed. I felt hurt and defeated and that moment I was trying to find some comfort in her, to help me, to do something...
Just pointless thoughts that only proved how desperate I was.
But it almost seemed that Yui somehow read my thoughts and...
" Go to where you belong."
At first, I didn't understand what she was talking about so I forced my eyes to open...
Tamahome's wedding ring.
Maybe it is better that way... than keeping it with me. Maybe. More tears escaped from my eyes, as I buried my face against Yui's chest.
... At that moment, Miaka couldn't have imagined that returning the ring to Tamahome would be the only help he got to find her, the only sacred link back to her...
