Chapter 3

The carriage rolled on and Kiyoshi sat across from the emperor her head cast down as she tried to come up with what exactly was going on. Although she felt the time she received was nothing compared to the time she actually got. Before she knew it the carriage came to a halt and the doors were opened for the emperor. He stepped out his hat like thing back in place. But instead of walking off he stopped turned and assisted her out of the carriage. Geeze the man was a gentleman too! He was just too perfect.

Kiyoshi gazed up at the imperial palace. The place was beautiful and not to mention enormous. It really looked like something from ancient china. The emperor smiled at her fascination, "I see that you like the palace?"

"It's beautiful…" Kiyoshi replied slightly in awe still trying to take it all in. But then she added, "Can I see my sister….?" She asked slightly hesitant not wanting to in a way offend him.

"Of course. It's where we're heading now." The emperor smiled at her.

The smile almost made Kiyoshi blush, "Thank you." She said trying to remain polite.

Inside the dungeon Yui sat with Miaka. Miaka was busy trying to yell her lungs out at the guard and so she sat silently in the corner. Their rescuer from before sat curled up in the other corner for some reason or another…not that she knew or really cared. It was his fault they had ended up there in the first place. The greedy guy had asked Miaka for 'payment' for his services and when finding they had no money…he told her to get something from the emperor. And being the oh so reliable girl Miaka is she had…complied.

After getting annoyed and realizing that the guard wouldn't even look her direction Miaka got frustrated and slumped down and sat against the cell wall. She looked curiously over at their rescuer who she knew by name. "Hey Tamahome...what's the matter?"

"You should know…" Tamahome grumbled in his dark corner.

"What do you mean I should know!" Miaka snapped insulted when all she had done was try and see if he was alright.

"Well ya had to knee me when I came to rescue you!" Tamahome yelled back acting childish and turning into chibi form.

"I didn't knee you!" Miaka yelled back as she turned chibi.

"Did too!" Could be heard from the dark corner.

"Did not!" Was the reply on the other end.

After a short walk they were in a dungeon like place. Inside Miaka could be heard arguing and by the looks of it winning. Who ever she was arguing with was getting tired of repeating themselves.

The emperor looked a little confused at the childish arguing, "Sounds like the poor guy is tired." He said in sympathy.

"Serves them right." Kiyoshi grinned. "They should know Miaka and I can go at it forever so it's impossible to beat us!" She giggled to herself but took off at a sprint to find her sister leaving a smiling emperor behind her. "Miaka!" Kiyoshi shouted out smiling upon seeing her sister.

"Kiyoshi! What are you doing here?" Miaka asked shocked but still smiling nonetheless her previous argument forgotten much to the relief of Tamahome. "And look I found Yui!" She said pointing behind her smiling as if she had just one the big blue ribbon. Yui stood up now as well happy to see her friend.

"The emperor um….saved me?" Kiyoshi said not really knowing if she would call that saving since she didn't really need saving but hey, whatever.

"The emperor!" yelled a man in the background. But then the man saw Kiyoshi now and shuddered at their last encounter. "Oh Suzaku it's you!" He shouted in shock.

"Opps." Kiyoshi said sweat dropping. He was the last person she expected to see again. Miaka starred in shock realizing now what Tamahome had been talking about. But she didn't get the chance to ask about it.

By now the emperor had come into the cell area and said quickly to a guard standing nearby, "Release these people at once!"

"Y-Yes sir!" The guard fumbled over his words a little shocked at the order but complied quickly.

The cell door was swung open and an overly excited Miaka jumped Kiyoshi much to her displeasure. And even after having to deal with the twin attack she was jumped again but this time Yui. Luckily Tamahome didn't get his chance to 'jump' on or Kiyoshi might have been worried.

The emperor had seen the look and glared but quickly spotted the red tattoo like symbol upon this man's forehead. He sighed, "Quick…we have many things to discuss…" the emperor said turning briskly and leading the way to another part of the palace.

No one said anything…first off because he's emperor and second off because they had nothing better to do...so why not? The emperor lead the way not uttering a word and he seemed in deep thought to Kiyoshi. She looked at his attire and their surroundings and how perfect they balanced eachother. She seemed lost in her little daydream when Miaka started waving a hand in her face.

"Earth to Kisyohi!" Miaka said tauntingly in a tease like voice.

Kiyoshi just giggled a little but turned to face her sister, "Yeah?"

"You were so zoned out! What were you thinking about anyways?" Miaka asked naively.

"Just about how we got here." Kiyoshi lied…in truth she didn't know why she was thinking what she was and sure as hell didn't want to have to try and explain that to Miaka.

"Oh…" Miaka said as if in understanding. "I don't really understand it either…"

Kiyoshi nodded her head and looked blankly at the ground as they walked until doors were opened and they entered a hall. Once in the hall the emperor took his seat at the head of the room. The other found that other chairs were brought for them to sit upon. So the small party sat and looked at the emperor wondering what he had to say to them.

"I have something serious to discuss with you…have you ever heard of the World of the Four Gods…?" He asked. Silence hung upon the room and so the emperor began to tell of a priestess and her warriors and how she would come to save Konan and have three wishes granted.

After he finished Kiyoshi was lost in the thought while Tamahome gawked looking at the three girls beside him. He then asked the question nearly everyone was asking themselves aloud, "Which one is the Suzaku no miko?" The three looked at each other confused none of them knowing really what to say.

"Well we're going to find out." The emperor said looking at them. He rose and so did the four. This time he led in mutual silence each of them wondering where they were being led and wondering if they really wanted to follow to find out. To their surprise they went to a small building and in front they stared at a place even more decorated with elaborate design and colored in shades of red. "This is the temple…and only Suzaku's chosen may enter. Tamahome if you will please step through…" The emperor said gesturing with a hand.

Tamahome blinked but figured he had nothing to fear. So he stepped forward and pulled open the heavy door to step inside. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. So he stood within the shrine looking out at the three girls. Staring at one girl in particular who he prayed would pass through.

The girls stood frozen for a moment before Kiyoshi finally shook herself out of her state of fear. "Why are we waiting…?" She asked even though she knew the answer to that. She began to slowly walk towards the open door her head level and eyes looking into the room blankly.

Miaka stood frozen for a moment but with her sisters movements she leapt up after her. "No Kiyoshi you don't know what will happen!" She yelled as she went to grab her but being clumsy like she was ended up tripping and falling towards her. Kiyoshi caught her but both screamed slightly as they fell back eyes shut closed. When they hit the floor and nothing happened they opened their eyes and blinked at each other. Nothing had happened! And both of them had entered!

"You okay?" Kiyoshi finally managed out of the stares of disbelieving eyes. Not that hers were any different.

"Yeah…you?" Miaka asked back as if startled that they hadn't been fried or something.

"Yep….I'm just peachy. But can I get up now?" Kiyoshi asked.

"Oh yeah sorry!" Miaka said jumping off quickly and then lending a hand for her sister.

"Thanks." Kiyoshi said now standing and doing a poor attempt to dust her outfit off although it was caked in dirt from the marketplace earlier. The two then oddly and simultaneously looked to the emperor as if expecting an explanation. Yui hadn't moved. She was honestly afraid too. If those two had both made it through then by what the emperor had said it would be alright for her to go in too but a voice in her head told her not too. It was the one that stopped her from moving in the very beginning.

The emperor looked somewhat confused himself but seemed to be thinking about something and seemed the least surprised of them all. "I believe…I know why you both went through."

"Really…? Because I would sure like to know." Tamahome said confused to as why Suzaku was 'telling' them there were two girls he would have to protect.

"You two…are twins am I right?" The emperor asked ignoring Tamahome his gaze on the two girls.

"Yes." They both answered and sweat dropped at how they said it at the same time again.

"Then…technically….you create one. One person…one miko. You two are the Suzaku no mikos." He said a smile on his strikingly handsome face.

Yui froze…if they were the Suzaku no mikos…what was she! She was...

"And you…are-" The emperor began as if almost reading her mind. Although he didn't get to finish as a blue light encased her. Yui screamed as she was pulled back to her original world.

Both twins gasped but while Kiyoshi remained frozen Miaka ran to where Yui had just once stood. "Where did she go! What happened!" Miaka yelled in a panicked voice for Yui.

"Probably back to your world…" the emperor replied. "She is the Sieryu no miko…not Suzaku."

"How do you know that!" Miaka asked shaking her head in disbelief to what the emperor was trying to explain to her.

"She was in blue light…that is the color of the god Sieryu…he is guardian over Kuto…not Konan." The emperor replied.

"You mean…we're going to be enemies with Yui! But she's my friend! OUR friend! She can't be our enemy!" Miaka said stunned.

"But…she is." The emperor replied a little brokenheartedly for the priestess who was in such distress. "You two should rest…and clean up a little." He said trying to change the subject.

"Alright…come on Miaka." Kiyoshi said walking out briskly and taking her sisters hand. She was going to walk aimlessly around…she wanted to get away…that was all she knew. Miaka was jerked slightly but quickly complied seeing as the alternative was being dragged.

"Where are we going?" Miaka whispered.

"Away from here that's all I know." Kiyoshi said quickly back in the same whispered tone that Miaka had used.

"Where are you two going?" Tamahome yelled out beginning to walk towards them the protectiveness of his new job already kicking in.

Kiyoshi was just about to respond to that but the red light that suddenly enveloped her took away that possibility. The light was hot…fire hot. And there was the sound of a phoenix as well as Miaka shouting her name before the red light turned to darkness and she no longer stayed conscious.
