Sorry it has been a while. Here is the seventh chapter (finally).


"Ermm..." Miaka's eyes slowly opened. She glanced over to find Amiboshi sitting on the side of her bed, sulking. "Huaike, what happened? How did I get here?" She started to sit up. Amiboshi had his back turned towards her and made no sign that he was going to respond to her. "Huaike?" She touched his shoulder which seemed to make Amibohi jump.

"I'm sorry Miaka..." The word came out slowly. Amiboshi was gritting his teeth.

"Huaike, please look at me." Miaka grabbed both of his arms. Amiboshi turned slowly his face was red and he looked upset.

"Miaka... I realize now that without your memories you'll have dificulties if people from the past show up."

"So those people really do know who I am?"

"Yes..."

"Please Huaike tell me who they are and what they are to me, please!" She squeezed his sleeves. Huaike hugged her. He knew he had to keep her happy and lying to her wasn't going to work at this point.

"Suboshi is my twin brother. My real name is Amiboshi and we are both Seiryu celestial warriors." He paused and looked into Miaka's eyes. They were big staring at his face with a look of surprise and figuring. "Nakago too is a Seiryu celestial warrior and is a very cruel man."

Miaka looked at him not fully comprehending him. "What are the Seiryu celestial warriors?"

Amiboshi looked down. "We are here to serve the priestess of Seiryu so that she may one day summon the god Seiryu." He paused. "They feel that because of the Suzaku warriors and their priestesses arrival that their country Qu Dong is in danger." He look at Miaka with a pleading look. "You are the priestess of Suzaku!"

Miaka looked stunned. "But how can I be? I am just a normal girl. I don't know anything about summoning gods!" She looked down. "But if you are telling me this Huaike then it must be true." She looked at his eyes. "And what about that man, Tamahome? Who is he?"

Amiboshi grabbed Miaka into a tight hug. "He's a celestial warrior of Suzaku and is sworn to protect you." He held her tighter. "He is also in love with you and you were in love with him."

Miaka's eyes widened more then ever now. "Huaike where is he? I want to speak to him."

"Miaka..." Amiboshi loosened his grib on her. "Alright, follow me."


Tamahome had only just woken up to find himself in what seemed to be a barn. When he tried to move to rub his eyes he found that he couldn't becaue he was tied up to a chair. He looked around to find that he was alone. He closed his eyes and began to think back on what had happened the night before. "Miaka." He murmered. "Miaka..."

Just then the door to the barn opened. In came Miaka with Amiboshi. "I'll wait for you outside." Amiboshi went outside and waited.

"Miaka!" Tamahome's eye lit up. "Miaka it' really you!"

"Tamahome..." Miaka was remembering her discussion with Amiboshi from that morning and felt very confused, but knew she had to really meet Tamahome. Was he really the one she had a dream about those nights ago?

"Miaka do you remember me? You must! I love you Miaka! Please untie me!" Miaka walked over slowly and started to untie him. As soon as he was loose he grabbed her and held her tightly. "Miaka how I have missed you!"

"Tamahome..." Miaka's eyes started to water. "I'm afraid I can't remember. I don't know what to do."

Tamahome looked a little disheartened. "Miaka I promise you we will find a way to get your memory back. I promise!" He kissed her cheek. "I promise I will always be with you no matter what." They both stood up and started to walk over to the door.

"Amiboshi..." Tamahome gave him an angry look. "How can I restore her memory?"

Amiboshi looked at his feet. "There is a way." Tamahome looked had him with a sense of urgency. "There is a counter potion, an antidote that can make her regain her memory." Amiboshi began to walk off. "I'll be back soon with the antidote."

Miaka gave a longing look towards Amiboshi. She was about to go after him, but Tamahome grabbed her arm. "Don't leave me again." Tamahome said hugging her.


Amiboshi was on his way to getting the antidote, but first went to a different barn where Nakago and Suboshi were being kept. He opened the door and immediately heard Suboshi's voice. "Amiboshi! Why am I tied down!" Amiboshi walked over to him slowly.

"You need to stop going after Miaka! You must leave her alone! She means you no harm. She simply wishes her own friends to be safe and happy. That has nothing to do with hurting you."

"But she tried to kill you remember! The reason I thought you were dead was because of her!"

"It wasn't her. It was my choice to fall into the waters. I thought I would die, but I realized I could start a new life here away from the corruption of Qu Dong!" Suboshi seemed unconvinced. "Please Suboshi! You must leave the Seiryu warriors. You will only get killed and become more enraged!"

"Hmph." A voice from the other chair tarted to speak up. "Rage? The rage comes from how Qu Dong treats it's people. It comes from the will to create a better nation out of Qu Dong!" Nakago's chi started to raise. "You simply ran away like a coward Amiboshi. You are worth nothing to me anymore!"

Amiboshi shook with freight. "It was you Nakago, you who told me that the Suzaku warriors wanted to kill all of us, but it isn't true. Miaka has shown me more kindness then I knew existed in this world! Even after she knew I betrayed her at the ummoning ceremony she still wanted to give me a chance!" Amiboshi untied Suboshi. "Please Suboshi you must leave this village and leave the Seiryu celestial warriors!"

Amiboshi quickly ran away from the barn. He went to his mother's pantry and began making the antidote in a hurry. He quickly finished and brought the result to Miaka. "Miaka please you must drink this. You'll remember everything if you do." Miaka looked a little puzzled toward Amiboshi. "I want you to be happy Miaka and I now know that you can't run from anything. After you drink it I promise to fight with you."

Amiboshi looked at Tamahome. Tamahome nodded. Miaka took the bowl that contained the antidote and tarted to drink. She gave a sigh and soon after fainted into Tamahome's lap. "When she wakes up she will remember you and everything else. Please do your best to no let her see more pain and I will do the same." They looked at each other in agreement. "We have to go. Suboshi and Nakago are here." Tamahome carried the unconscious Miaka and he and Amiboshi ran into the forest.
