Forget what happened after the first part of episode 11! I am writing this as though Nakago became obsessed with Miaka and persuaded Yui to stay to insure the peace. He then attempts to arrange a marriage between himself and Miaka. Read to find out what happens next.

Prologue

"You will not be getting her back." I told Tamahome as I faced him in the Imperial Courtyard. I knew in that moment I could not let her go. The Priestess of Suzaku was hidden inside the palace with the Lady Yui and I would not allow this impudent boy to take her.

Tamahome, however, did not seem to like what I'd said. He lunged in for an attack which I easily dodged. It was then that I attempted to strike him, only barely connecting. I felt a strange power attempt to hold me in place as Tamahome ran off in search of his beloved priestess. The fools did not understand that she was MINE! I had no intentions of every allowing another man to touch her.

It had been so long since I'd known the love and gentleness of a woman. The Lady Yui had been far from what I needed. She was strong willed and lovely, yes, but she could not fill the emptiness within me. Many thought that today was the first time I had ever lain eyes on Lady Miaka, but they were wrong, I'd awaited her return.

When they had been traveling to find away to send her home, I had seen her. She seemed ill but somehow, still full of energy. When they were in the forest, I hid in the shadows and watched as her mirror self attempted to manipulate them. I was amazed when the monster was destroyed and the real priestess reappeared. The thought of her willingness to sacrifice herself for her friends impressed me. Such loyalty was something I had rarely seen. I didn't care if we were enemies, I wanted her and I had decided that she would be MINE!
