Chapter 1 - The Suzaku Priestess and Princess.
There was a stock clearance at one of the antique bookstores. The owner was now bankrupt and he was selling all his property. On the way back from school, Miaka and Hoshi decided to stop by to check out some of the old books to see if they can purchase any books for their ancient history club. They would also like to get some story books for themselves since they both love reading books.
Earlier Taka had already met up with Miaka in her school and promised to go for a date later that evening. Taka is the reborn form of Tamahome without his memories but even so he felt like he had known Miaka for a long time even though they have only met for the first time 6 months ago. They have been dating ever since.
A few glances here and there and they already found about three books on ancient culture and civilization. While Hoshi was trying to reach a book on ancient traditions which is something they didn't have, another book dropped onto the floor. Picking it up, she saw that the book was titled 'The Universe of the Four Gods', the same one which Miaka got sucked into two years ago.
Showing Miaka about it, they decided to find out why did the book showed up in front of them again and what's its connections to the dreams Miaka have been having. You see, ever since Miaka got sucked into the book she has become more and more a believer of destiny.
Together they paid for the book as well as the others. Excited about finding the connections between the book and her dreams, Miaka totally forgot about her date with Taka. Upon reaching home, they quickly pack their belongings and clothes because based on past experience they will surely be sucked into the book again.
Upon turning to the first page, they were engulfed within a red glow and disappeared from view. All that was left was the book with, open showing a picture of two girls who resembled a lot like Miaka and Hoshi.
Miaka and Hoshi appeared inside the book again together with Taka. Somehow when Miaka and Hoshi got sucked into the book, Taka was just resting on his bed so luckily his disappearance from the real world would not be so shocking to other people.
It seems that Suzaku has lost his powers and he needs his priestess and guardian princess to restore him his glory. Miaka and Hoshi landed in front of her warriors, in the Shrine of Suzaku while Taka took his place as one of the warriors. Everyone welcomed him back and was very friendly towards him but with him not having a clue of what's going on, he merely accepted their welcome gestures politely.
Then looking at Miaka in front of him he suddenly remembered those stories that she told him about a book and realize he must have got sucked in together with them and those welcoming him must be his comrades. Miaka seemed to know what he was thinking and she nodded her head in agreement.
As Suzaku's light continued to glow around them, a warm reddish glow emanated from Hoshi's chest and she instinctively raise her hands towards her chest. A ruby crystal materialized, floating in between her hands and then she moves her hands outwards and upwards to reveal the ruby crystal reddish shine.
As though possessed, she then declares "I hereby embrace the grail of Suzaku within my hands, that which contains the essence of Suzaku and must be presented during summoning to channel the combined powers of myself, the guardian princess and the priestess."
As Hoshi was saying this, Miaka and Hoshi's appearance have changed into the ceremonial manifestation of a celestial priestess and guardian princess.
Hoshi wore a red strapless dress with the top half lining her bust while the bottom half, her skirt, that is close-fitting extends from her bust all the way down to the floor while both her arms has arm plates with the phoenix bird engraved on it. Around her bust part of the dress there is a thick decorative layer with the phoenix bird ornament on it. Her bluish black hair was tied into an intricate bun with braids while some hair curls were dangling at the side of her ears.
Meanwhile Miaka wore a red v-neck robe with the v-shape extending down to her waist. A yellow cloth adorns her back robe and is tied in front at her waist into a ribbon. Her robe was straight and knee length with a transparent silk layer lining her robe and covering her legs and arms. She had gold bangles on her feet and wrist. Her hair was tied into a bun with a lock of hair dangling out and on her head she had a wreath with the phoenix bird ornament on it.
Both their dresses glowed in the red light and made it seemed they were both floating just slightly above the ground.
While Hoshi was offering the grail's powers, Miaka then spoke that through Suzaku, she will now bestow powers to the warriors. The spirits now have solid bodies with powers but cannot be harmed by other warrior's powers or blasts. Tasuki got more fire power while Chichiri got more magical abilities. His scar on his left eye was also healed. Now he has his eyesight restored to him.
After all that was done, a red phoenix bird appears and got absorbed into the priestess and princess. Their eyes glint with a fiery bird before both their bodies collapsed from exhaustion and their appearance returning to their original form.
Immediately the warriors brought their priestess and princess to rest while they discuss what just happened. They conclude that a new enemy must have appeared and stolen all of Suzaku's power until Suzaku has to conceal his remaining sacred powers within the priestess and princess.
For now, they needed to rest and the next day they will start adjusting to their new powers.
Somewhere an evil laughter can be heard and a voice that says. "Rest now Suzaku warriors for when the time comes I will crush all of you like little bugs."
