Author's Notes: This is my first fanfiction story, so go very easy on me! This is my view on if I was in the Universe of the 4 Gods = SI (self-insert) story, so at least give it a shot! And super sorry for the prologue! I wished I didn't make it that long… ^_^u

Premise: After the failing of Suzaku, Miaka and Brittany have to tell their true loves what Taiitsukun told them. The journey to Hokkan will be a different one, and two Suzaku Warriors will live. Will they both go back into their own world, or will both stay in the book world forever? And, will the Seiryuu no Miko be in the path of the Suzaku Warriors, or is she a pawn in a game?


Chapter 1: Memories

As I open my eyes, I knew that it was too early to get up. To me, I thought it was afternoon, but it was morning. I got up and stretched my arms and legs. Yesterday was terrible. We, Miaka and me, fail in the summoning of Suzaku. I don't know why Suzaku needed two Priestesses, but we failed horribly.

The fake Chiriko was Amiboshi, of the Seiryu Seven. He fell into the rapids of the river in town and died. I stayed with Mitsukake, Nuriko, and Hotohori, and was told what happen. Then out of nowhere a little kid came up and told us that he saved our lives by playing the other tune. HE was Suzaku Warrior Chiriko. Tai-tsukun came from the flames of Suzaku and said that we have failed. Miaka and I was upset. We could of saved everyone, but now, we was lucky to get a second chance. Now we have to go to Hokkan and Sairo and get the shinzahos and to summon Suzaku once again. I was only fifteen, and going through too much stuff! Back home, it was only winter time. Feburary, almost March, as I remember the fridged days...

I open the doors and let the sunlight and air fill up my bedroom. I noticed that no one was up yet (go figure) and deciced to go to the gardens to walk off my pain. It was still a little wet from the downpour we had a couple days again. I came up to a sundial and saw that it was only eight thirty in the morning. I NEVER got up that early so why am I up now? I saw the bench next to it and deicied to sit on it. So much is going through my mind. I heard a little noise, and saw that it was Hotohori, walking towards me.

"Oh! Good morning, Hotohori!" I uttered as he nodded.

"Good morning, Brittany. Isn't it early for you to get up?" He asked me, as he sat down next to me.

"Yep. Guess I should go get some breakfast then."

"Well, at least let me take you there. I want to walk with you." Hotohori said as I nodded and held my head down.

'No... I can't tell him yet... Not yet... I will have to sooner or later...'

"You okay? You have been really quiet since the incident with Amiboshi." Hotohori asked me, looking concerned.

"I guess, I mean it was part of mine and Miaka's fault because we had the mirror and we should know that he was a Seiryu warrior. I'm sorry..." I said looking down at the ground.

"You don't have to apoligize, we understand. Everyone should of know that he was not Chiriko, but we was foolish as well. We all are sorry. Anyway, you should get something to eat before Miaka gets up. Knowing her, she will be hungry." Hotohori said as he took my hand and drag me towards the dinning room.

"Good morning Hotohori-sama, Brittany you are up early, you know." Chichiri said as he sat next to Hotohori.

"Yeah and getting up early gets it surprises." I said as the chef brought some food to me and the emperor.

"Well, how was your morning so far Tasuki and Chichiri?" I questioned them as they shrugged. "Ah... Well, is anyone else up?"

"I could go wake Nuriko up..." Tasuki uttered as I shook my head. "Or Tamahome... Or Miaka..." He got up as I looked at him.

"Tasuki, you stupid idiot! Don't you dare wake the others up!" I said yelling as he ran. I was just to slow.

"Too late Britt, he ran too fast for you, you know." Chichiri said.

"Well, this is going to be fun! Nuriko hates getting up early, no less waken up by someone who gets him up." I told Hotohori. As if on cue-

"TASUKI! SHUT UP!" Nuriko yelled so loud, we could hear it in the kitchen. If you wake him up too early, you will suffer.

"Ahh. Tasuki got Nuriko up too early?" Miaka said as she yawn and sat down with Tamahome.

"Yep. And look who comes crawling back. Tasuki, do you need Mitsukake?" I said in a baby voice. He had a HUGE bump on his forehead.

"AH Shut UP! You asked if anyone else was up, and you was botherin' me!" Tasuki exclaimed as I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever... You got what you deserve." I stuck my tounge out as he went over and continued to eat his breakfast.

"Brittany, can I talk to you, outside? And Miaka, stay away from our food, just for today." his highness said as he and I stood up to go outside. As we was outside, he close the dinning room doors.

"Hotohori, are you okay? Do you have something you need to say to me?" I asked him. I was concern. He looked like he needed to say something to me. I didn't come into the book until Miaka went into the book again. During that time, I decided to go out for the adventure with Tamahome, Nuriko, and Miaka.

"Well, I don't think Miaka told you yet so I will tell you myself."

"What is it Hotohori?"

"It...It is my mother, and father. When I was only ten years old, my father died. My mother helped me became emperor no matter what I said or did. I was the original heir to the throne, but, when I was fourteen, my mother was dying of an illness. Before mother died, I was told of an older brother. After she told me to be the best I can be, she passed away. I have never heard of him and I would love to find him. To say the truth, I was alone for so long, but now that I have more friends and family in my life, I am not alone."

"Oh... I'm so sorry that your mother died. And your father too. My otoo-chan is still alive, but he doesn't live with me. I rarely see him, if I am lucky, once a year or once every two years. When I am alone, it gets too lonely. I have friends and all, but they don't even live near me. I am glad I am in this world because all of my loneliness is gone. I have a Onee-chan (big sister), six Onii-chans(big brothers), and one ototo-chan(little brother)."

"Definitely. Everyone here is family. Do you want to talk about this later, when we are alone?" Hotohori suggested. He went over to the doors and Tamahome, Nuriko, Tasuki and Miaka fell to the floor.

"You guys are such jerks! Can I ever have a private little talk with Hotohori?" I told them, sturnly.

"Everyone get up from the floor, I have something to say to all of you." Hotohori said as he went and sat in the dinning room. Everyone got up and returned to their seats.

"If you did not know, the Star Gazing Festival is tonight and you all are allow to go and enjoy yourselfs before you go to Hokkan tomorrow." Hotohori told them and got up and went out to his bedroom.

"Well, let's get ready! Nuriko, can you help me with the outfit? And Miaka, please come with me, we need to talk. Nuriko, come too. We need to talk also." I said and grabbed Miaka's hand and went towards my bedroom and Nuriko followed behind. Mitsukake and Chiriko came and got some lunch for themselves. Then left and Tamahome began to talk.

"Chichiri, did you know about heika-sama? That his mother and father was dead?" Tamahome asked as he ate some rice.

"Yeah, when we was talking alone, before the ceremony. He misses his family, you know." Chichiri told Tamahome and Tasuki.

"Oh. Well, aren't ya going to fallow your lady, Tama?" Tasuki asked.

"No, and quit calling me Tama! I am not a cat! Damn!" Tamahome said as he left the two behind and went towards the garden to let off steam.

"Guess I will get ready for the festival tonight." Tasuki said as he went out and took his rice with him.

"Hum. Fishing sounds really good now, you know." Chichiri said to himself and got his fishing pole and hope to get some fish today.

" 'The second Priestess of Suzaku understood Hotohori's feelings and Nuriko's too. But she and Miaka-sama still has to tell their lovers that they can not love each other no more.' " Keisuke said as he was with Brittany's mom.

"Keisuke, how can Brittany, my daughter, be a priestess and be falling in love with two men?" Britt's mother asked him.

"Hey, my little sister was never this popular either, so don't worry. Brittany loves Hotohori and Nuriko, and Miaka loves Tamahome. What will you do if she can stay in the book? Will you aloud her too? She seems so happy now, and is your daughter's happiness comes first?" Keisuke asked as he hoping for a good answer.

"Well, yes, but I still want to see her and this Hotohori and Nuriko you keep talking about. If they are good to her and me, I might let her. But...it depends on if SHE wants to be there to."

"Hopefully you will, hopefully." Keisuke said as he began to read again.

" 'The priestesses of Suzaku and warrior Nuriko was in Brittany's room, helping her pick out an outfit for the Star Gazing Festival later that day...' "

"Nuriko, is this good?" I asked, even though I have no fashion taste, unlike Nuriko.

"Nah. You need something more you. What are your favorite colors and I'll go from there."

"Let's see... I love purple, red, and pink. And sometimes green."

"Okay, something purple, pink, and red..." Nuriko told himself as he went through the kimonos I was given by Hotohori.

"Ah ha! Found something!" Nuriko said in his girly voice.

"How about this Brittany? It is super adoreable!" Nuriko pull out a kimono with purple lace at the arms, red as the main color, and pink designs at the legs and arms. A purple ribbon to tight in the back.

"Nice choice Nuriko! Britt, what do you think about it?" Miaka asked me.

"Perfect! Nuriko, well you be able to help me put this on? I never wore one before and I really would like to know how to put it on." I told him.

"Yeah. Now or later?" he asked me.

"Well, what time is it if you had to guess?"

"Probably almost four o' clock."

"Then help get this on for me. Can you also do my hair?" I asked Nuriko as he nodded. "Good. Miaka, we will talk later."

"Okay, Nuriko can you come by and help me also? And Britt, when Nuriko is done with me, I'll come back here and talk with you." Miaka said as she left and went to tell Tamahome the secret. I could tell that she was going to do that. Now, I had my alone time with Nuriko.

"Okay. Ready?" Nuriko went to the door and closed it.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" I said gladly. 'How will I tell Nuriko and Hotohori about the secret Miaka and I have kept for a day? How will they react? What should I say?'
