Seishi fighting for the love of the Miko of Suzaku

In the palace of Konan…

Miaka was staring at the mountains in the distance far away. Her seishi, Hotohori came over to join her.

"Miaka? Are you ok?" Hotohori, the emperor of Konan including being her seishi, asked.

"Yes, Hotohori. Some tears come out from her eyes. Hotohori takes out a handkerchief to brush them away.

"Miaka, don't worry, we'll get through this." Hotohori said hugging Miaka. Miaka blushed a bright shade of red. A loud ahem was made from behind them. Nuriko, another seishi glared at Miaka. Miaka tried edging away from Hotohori but he held on to her hand refusing to let go.

"Nuriko, I want to make things CLEAR. I'm not gay, sorry. I love Miaka and noone could stop me from loving her!" Hotohori said sharply. Tamahome at that time heard the comment while looking around for Miaka and came over. Just in time to hear the comment, see Miaka blush, and see Hotohori holding Miaka's hand. He turned angry.

"Hotohori, may I talk to you in PRIVATE?" Tamahome said with a serious pissed off tone. Hotohori nods. Tamahome leads Hotohori a safe distance away from Miaka and Nuriko.

In Kutou…

"Nakago, what's our next plan for the Suzaku seishi?" Yui asked. Nakago didn't answer her. He was staring at the sky. Yui poked Nakago. No answer. She pushed him onto the floor.

"Oh! Sorry my eminence for not answering earlier. I was ---" Nakago said finally after a while but was interrupted by Suboshi who entered with Amiboshi at his arm.

"Your eminence, could you help me wake up Amiboshi? He seems to be daydreaming or something. I tried my flute but he didn't even move." Suboshi told Yui.

"Let me use your flute Suboshi." Yui said. He gave it to her. She advised him to cover his ears. He did. But Nakago and Amiboshi didn't cause both of them were daydreaming about the priestess of Suzaku. Yui blew horrible notes onto the flute making Nakago and Amiboshi both fall onto the floor. They both blinked in confusion. Suboshi unplugged his ears.

"Brother, are you okay?" Suboshi asked.

"Huh? Yes. Why do you ask?" Amiboshi replied. Suboshi told him all the stuff he tried to do to get Amiboshi to move, talk, or do anything. While the brothers were deep in conversation, Yui tried bugging Nakago to talk to her.

"Nakago! What the hell are you thinking about!" Yui said whining.

"Arigatou, but I'll like to keep my thoughts to myself." He replied apologizing. Soi came in.

"Nakago, may I talk to you in private?" Soi asked. Everyone except Yui knew what she meant by that. Usually her meaning is seducing him.

"No." Nakago said.

"What!" Soi said in shock. Everybody had their jaws open. He always said yes, not no. Yui looked around in total confusion.

"I must go to Konan on important business." He said aloud while striding out of the room. Now everybody including Yui was staring at him in shock. Amiboshi also excused himself by saying he must visit someone.

Back in Konan:

"Hotohori, I must ask. Do you or do you not have feelings for the Priestess of Suzaku?" Tamahome asked.

"How is it your business Tamahome?" Hotohori replied back coldly.

"It's because, I'm in love with her! And whoever else is in love with her is my rival!" Tamahome said with the equal coldness in his voice.
