Feelings of Truth

Tasuki couldn't believe that Miaka left him for the second time to go back to her world with Taka! He threw his head down on his pillow and started to think about what he could have done different. For one thing he knew that he lost all of his chances for her to love him since that time at the inn when he tried to...to...
Tasuki grew angry and started to scream in his mind. "Shit! I'll probably never get ta' see her again!" He sat up and stared at the ceiling. "Why do I fell this way?"
"Knock! Knock! Who's there? It's Kouji? Kouji who? Gen-chans friend that's who! Oh great come on in! Thank you!" Kouji opened the chamber door. He saw Tasuki sitting on his bed.
Tasuki turned his body and threw himself back down on the bed, with his back turned away from Kouji. "Go away! I don't wanna hear any shit from anybody today!" He waited awhile to hear if any footsteps would turn to leave the room, but none did. "I told ya' ta' leave!" Tasuki threw himself up from the bed and reached for his tessen.
"Whoa Gen-chan! I need ta' tell ya' somethin' important."
"I don't wanna hear it Kouji! I told ya' I don't wanna discuss anythin' today. And shit! Don't call me Gen-chan! "
"But.... But!"
"Leave!"
"Alright! I'll go! Geez! I just wanted ta' tell ya' that Chichiri is here." With that said Kouji left and slammed the door behind him.

Kouji was walking down the hall, back to the main corridor. "Geez, Genrou has been rough these last few days. I wonder why he's bein' such a hothead." Kouji had to laugh at what he had just said to himself. "Haha, Genrou is always a hothead!"

"Damn! What's wrong with me?" Tasuki got up and headed towards the mirror. He looked at himself and sighed. He was sweating and he looked really tired. Tasuki ran his hand threw his hair and checked out his fangs.
"He he! You look really beautiful Tasuki no da!"
"Who's there!" Tasuki turned around and saw Chichiri standing in the middle of the room. "Oh, I figured it wuz' you. Only ya' would say NO DA all the time. What the do ya' want? I told Kouji that I didn't wanna see anyone today."
"No, you said that you didn't want to discuss anything today no da." Chichiri had to smile.
"Well I can't discuss nuthin' if your not here. Now leave!" Tasuki turned away from Chichiri and faced the mirror again. He stared into it and saw Chichiri's reflection just standing there with a stupid smile on his face. This made Tasuki really mad. He knew Chichiri never listened to him. Plus he also knew that Chichiri would never leave unless he hears what the smiling seishi had to say. "Ugh. Fine! What the hell do ya' have ta' tell me?" He went and sat down on the edge of his bed, and stared up at Chichiri with an angry look in his eye.
"Finally you come to reason no da." Chichiri said with a smile. "Now to what I wanted to say. It's about Miaka."
Tasuki's eyes opened wide and looked at Chichiri. "What about her?" Tasuki said in a low tone. He knew this was a conversation that he wanted to talk about. Anything about her would make him feel a slight comfort inside himself. He missed her. He thought about her smile and her body. Tasuki began to blush. Chichiri, seeing the slight red in Tasuki's cheeks, began to laugh.
"What are you blushing about?" Chichiri said with a huge smile.
"Shud-up! It's nuthin'. I'm just a lil flushed from drinkin' damn it! Well anyways it's none of ya' damn business!" Tasuki closed his eyes and turned his head towards the ceiling. "Well what did you want to say about Miaka?" He lifted an eye open to see what Chichiri was doing. He knew that he tried to change the subject about his blushing and wanted to see if his sudden plan worked. He saw Chichiri still standing in the middle of the room smiling at him. It was quiet for a few seconds, which felt like forever to Tasuki. "Say somethin' damn it!"
"Okay no da. Well about Miaka. She seems to be back in our world, but for some unknown reason I can't feel Taka's life force with her no da. She landed somewhere pretty far from here. She could be in great deal of danger no da."
"Then what are ya' doin' here damn it. Why don't ya' teleport ta' her and save her!" Tasuki sprang up from the bed and grabbed his tessen. He rushed out the door and down the hall. He didn't want Miaka to be in danger. All he could think about was all the terrible things that might of happened to her. No! He wouldn't stand for it. Then all of a sudden Chichiri popped up in front of him and nearly scared him to death!
"Don't be reckless Tasuki! You don't even know where to look first no da!" Chichiri had his mask off and had a stricken look in his eyes. " That's why I need you to help me locate her no da!"
"Why the hell do ya' need me?"
"With her so far away, I need you to concentrate your life force on her with mine so I can locate her and teleport there faster no da. Two people are better than one and I can teleport somewhere closer to her no da."
"How the fuckin hell is that supposed ta' work? How is our damn life force gonna help us locate her?"
"As her seishi, we are linked to her no da. If we concentrate on her I'm sure... no, I know we can some how get to her no da!"
"Hurry the fuck up and get this teleportation thing ya' do workin'. She could be in danger or worse!" That struck Tasuki hard. He never thought of Miaka dying. If she does die he'll for sure never see her again. He rather Miaka be in her world and with Taka, than her being dead. Tasuki face filled with worry. Chichiri, seeing this, decided to try to cheer him up.
"I didn't say for sure that she was in danger no da. She is just so far away that we need to get to her as soon as possible no da."
"I won't take that chance of losin' her! She is alone and unprotected! Damn it!" He grabbed Chichiri's collar and looked him straight in the eyes. Seeing himself through Chichiri's eyes, he released him. "Suzaku why am I feelin' like this?" Tasuki froze. He didn't mean to say that out loud. He looked at Chichiri, whose facial expression didn't change.
"How much do you care about her no da?" Chichiri asked, a little stunned inside at Tasuki's sudden expression of emotions. He looked at Tasuki, now bended down and leaning his forehead into the palms of his hands. Tasuki's fingertips grasped his red hair.
"I don't know." He didn't want to show his true feelings about her to Chichiri or to anyone. He decided to cover it up. " I care fer' her like a big brother, and as one of her seishi I have ta' protect her."
Chichiri looked at him still. "I know how you feel no da. Well lets get started no da. Here grab hold of my staff." Tasuki got up and held on to the staff.
"Thanks Chichiri." Tasuki felt better thinking Chichiri didn't know about his feelings.
Chichiri closed his eyes, and told Tasuki to concentrate hard on Miaka. When Tasuki was thinking about her, Chichiri decide to do something sneaky. He concentrated on Tasuki's mind and saw a quick flash of what he was thinking about. Tasuki was thinking of the time he kidnapped Miaka, and tried to kiss her. Chichiri also saw the image of the inn where Tasuki told his true feelings to her. Chichiri smiled and released his mind from Tasuki's, and concentrated on Miaka himself. A red light surrounded them, and they vanished.
