Kido: You know, you've been neglecting your RPs on Quotev, right?
Kida: I know! And it really sucks! But I want to get my stories done! To all of the people I'm RPing, I'M SORRY!
Kido: Just come at her with torches and pick forks.
Kida: Do you want me to die?!
Naruto: It wouldn't be the first time.
Mitsukake: Kida Tenshi does not own Naruto or Fushigi Yuugi. She only owns Aika Hitsubasa and future OCs.
The Shinzahou, necessary to summon Suzaku, is delivered into Nakago's possession. Aika looked up and saw the wolf disappearing into the fog. "God dammit!" She hissed as she punched the ground. Taiitsukun then appeared to Lady Aika and suggested the most feasible way to recover the Shinzahou. She must couple with Nakago and weaken his life force. 'This time, I will be the sacrifice.'
"Aika!" Tamahome shouted making her flinch.
'Please forgive me, Tamahome,' she thought before running off. However, the Taiitsukun who appeared before Lady Aika was an illusion created by Tomo of the Seiryuu Seven. And the coupling was actually a trap set up by Nakago.
"Stay away! No!" Aika cried as Nakago drew near. "Tamahome!"

Shikamaru stopped reading and was glaring at the book. Naruto looked over when he realized.
"Hey, what's happening with Aika? Read it out loud, would ya?" Naruto asked.
"We can listen while we work on this," Sasuke added as he read the book.
"Just settle down. They're traveling around in some big empty desert and there's nothing much to read now," Shikamaru lied. 'Oh man…'
~0~
Tamahome kept riding his horse in search for the Priestess.
"Aika! Aika!" He called for her. 'This is strange. What's happened to Aika? Where is she? Where did she go?!' He thought with worry and anxiety.
~0~
Nakago chuckled as he gripped Aika's chin, letting his other hand trace her collarbone and down her chest.
"Such a young one," he said as he grasped her breast while she looked away. Aika bit back a moan, disgusted by his touch. "For the record, Priestess, this is not the method I would prefer."
"I will leave Aika behind in this world," he remembered Yui saying.
"However, Lady Yui insisted you were not to be killed. Consequently, this is the next best way to defeat you all. In coupling with a man, the Priestess loses the right to summon the Beast God. The Gods seek out an unblemished body, her blood must be pure and her flesh unspoiled. Tell me, were you impressed by our false Taiitsukun?" Nakago asked making Aika's eyes widen. She then glared.
"That was a fake Taiitsukun?! Then you lied to me! I knew something was up when you didn't seem surprised that I even showed up!" She growled.
"We didn't entirely lie to you. There is a way of controlling one's life force based on sexual intercourse," Nakago smirked.
"And you used it on Yui I bet," Aika glared.
"Sadly, no. The Lady Yui still remains a virgin," he said making her eyes widen. "I killed her assailants when I discovered them there in the back streets of Kutou, but when she awoke, Lady Yui was distraught and attempted to kill herself. And every day afterward, she wept, calling out your name."
"Aika…" Yui whimpered in her sleep. "What did you come back here and save me? Aika…Aika…" Aika's eyes were wide as she thought of her friend.
"And until you were reunited, I would repeat the sentiment to her. Every day," Nakago smirked.
"Aika…Aika, why?" Yui asked reaching her hand up. Nakago grabbed her wrist making Yui's eyes open at him.
"That girl has betrayed your friendship, Lady Yui," he said making her eyes widen before turning her head away. "She denied it at first, but day by day she wavered a little bit more."
"Is it true that Aika would only come back to this world to be with Tamahome and not to save me?" Yui asked after sitting up. She then let out a soft sob. "Would you do that, Aika?" She then saw Nakago walk up to her.
"And finally, Lady Yui believed me and trusted in me completely. Lady Yui has chosen me over you," Nakago smirked at Aika. Aika's glare grew as she thought of her friend being tricked by the blonde in front of her.
'He did it to her. He took Yui when she was hurt and made her hate me, made her fight against me. He's the reason she became the Priestess of Seiryuu. It was him,' she thought as tears flooded down her cheeks. "Give her back…."
"Aika!" Yui smiled at her.
"Give Yui back….give her back!" Aika shouted with a fierce glare. It's then her fists started glowing red making Nakago's eyes widen. Red lightning appeared around her body. "I will never forgive you…I'll never ever forgive you!" She said as she was able to move her arms.
"Ah, look here. The girl is breaking free of my life force. So, you have advanced far enough to have that ability now. However," he said as his symbol glowed and he lifted his hand. "You will do no more," he said before using his ability on her. She screamed in pain as she was thrown to the ground.
'Tama…home…' Aika thought weakly before she passed out. Nakago walked up to her, smirking.
"I think you've had enough," he chuckled a bit as he moved some of her raven hair away. He then lifted her head up. "An inexperienced girl like you would probably not give me much pleasure," he said before he then smirked. "But the look on that boy's face will be amusing and make it all worthwhile," he said before stripping her of her clothes. "When he learns another man has touched you, the one he says he loves…" Nakago then chuckled.

"Hey, Chichiri, let's rest a while and wait for Aika and Tamahome," Tasuki said as he stopped his horse.
"We have to hurry, ya know. If you don't travel by night in the desert, you can be fried to a crisp when the sun comes up, ya know," Chichiri replied.
"I know that! But my horse has a mind of its own and refuses to go on!" Tasuki told him before looking at the horse. "Come on! You still in a huff because I stole one little carrot from you?! Will you move it?! We're getting further and further behind, ya stupid horse!" He said hitting the horses head as he spazzed out. The horse grew a tick mark. The horse then did a upper cut on Tasuki. Tasuki began bowing to the standing horse. "I'm sorry! Really! I am! Please let me ride you! Please! I'm sorry! I said-I've said that enough! Oh please!" Tasuki said to him. Kurama rolled his eyes.
'Reminds me of when Naruto summoned Gamabunta for the first time. He shouted at the large toad only to be yelled at in return….suddenly Naruto was bowing to him. Oh, he and Tasuki would get along just great…if it weren't for the difference in hair and eye color, I'd swear they were almost twins,' he thought to himself.
"Chichiri," Chiriko said getting the monk's attention.
"Yeah? Don't tell me you're having trouble with your horse too, ya know," Chichiri said to him as Tasuki used his fan to trip his horse.
"Look at all the lights there!" Chiriko pointed. Chichiri moved up and looked.
"Huh? Is that-?" He asked seeing a lot of lights.
"That must be Sairo. What other well-known city would be situated out in the middle of this interminable desert?" Chiriko smiled.
"Let's go check it out, Tasuki," Chichiri said before sweat-dropping. The horse was now stepping on Tasuki's head.
"Ow! I said I was sorry!" Tasuki cried.
"Would you two cut it out?" Chichiri asked annoyed. Kurama sighed when he saw they weren't stopping.
"BOTH OF YOU IDIOTS QUIT FIGHTING OR I'LL GO INTO MY LARGER FORM AND EAT YOU!" He shouted at Tasuki and the horse. Suddenly the two stop fighting and hugged each other out of fear for the little fox.
"You're really good at stopping fights, ya know. Uh, good work there, Kurama," Chichiri sweat-dropped.
"I thought so, thanks," Kurama smirked. On a cliff, Tomo was watching them, chuckling.
"Yes, yes, come right in, gentlemen of Suzaku. Once you've stepped inside Tomo's city of mirages, I'm afraid you'll never be able to escape. I imagine the Priestess of Suzaku has already fallen into Nakago's hands," Tomo said before cackling.

"Aika!" Tamahome called. Niko meowed as he came out of a bush and Tamahome stopped his horse when he saw the cat. He got off his horse and ran over to the black cat. "Niko, it's you. What are you doing here?" He asked. Niko meowed and tugged his sleeve with his paws. "Were you…? Did you come here with Aika? Where is she? Why isn't she with you?" Niko then began acting out as Nakago and Aika. Nakago sitting in the chair with a cackle then Nakago moving Aika. He then acted as Aika when she struggled before going back to act like the cackling Nakago before going back to Aika as Tamahome sweat-dropped. "STOP IT! THIS IS NO TIME FOR CHARADES, KITTY CAT!" Tamahome shouted as Niko screeched. He grabbed the cat. "Lead me to where you last saw Aika and hurry!" He shouted at the struggling Niko held up a sign that read 'that's what I was trying to do!'
~0~
Nakago finished dressing back into his armor, putting his cape back on. He smirked as he knelt down beside the dressed Aika.
"Aika!" Tamahome called making Nakago's smirk disappear. "Aika!" Nakago then walked out of the tent. Tamahome got off his horse and followed the running cat. Once Niko stopped, so did he and he saw the Seiryuu tent. Tamahome gritted his teeth when he saw Nakago.
"Tamahome, didn't you leave for Sairo with the others of your pathetic party?" Nakago smirked.
"Nakago," Tamahome growled as he got ready to fight.
"You're looking surprisingly well. I never would have guessed that your entire family and one of your friends had just been killed," Nakago taunted. Tamahome's symbol glowed.
"You demon!" He shouted before going to punch. He only ended up groaning in pain when Nakago ended up punching him in the gut without trying.
"That angry intention won't help you out this time either, my friend," Nakago said as Tamahome collapsed to his knees, holding his stomach. "The girl you're looking for is inside the yurt down there. She has such lovely young skin," he said making Tamahome look up at him with surprise. "I always thought of her as a child, but I was wrong. Her body is very much a woman's," Nakago smirked at him.
"Aika…" Tamahome whispered stunned. Tamahome shook with anger as Nakago began walking away. "What…did you do…to Aika?" he asked as his fist was suddenly engulfed with red lightning. His skin was now a light red and his hair a light blue. His eyes became a lighter purple and his symbol glowed brightly. "What did you do?!" Nakago turned and suddenly Tamahome threw a large red energy ball at him. The energy ball had destroyed the trees around it before it hit Nakago's shoulder. Nakago groaned as drops of the metal fell to the ground. Nakago wince as he held his arm, glaring at Tamahome.
"How dare you?" He growled. Tamahome was even surprised at what he had done. He then jumped out of the way when a blue energy ball was sent at him. "Soi…" Nakago said when the woman appeared in front of him.
"Nakago, go get on the horse," Soi ordered before they both got on the horses and rode off. Tamahome glared as they left.
"Dammit!" He hissed. He then remembered and looked at his hands. "What was…?" 'What was that power?' He thought until he heard Niko meow, snapping him out of it. "That's right. Aika!" He said as he looked at the yurt.
~0~
Soi looked at Nakago.
"Are you all right? After I dress your wounds, you ought to lie with me tonight to rebuild your life force. I'll be waiting for you, Nakago," she said to him, worried about him. Nakago thought to himself then glancing behind him with a smirk.
"Tamahome, you had better believe I will pay you back for this."
~0~
"Aika!" Tamahome called before opening the flap. "Aika?" He asked as he walked in. "She's gotta be here," he whispered. He then saw the necklace Yuiren had made for Aika. His eyes widened and he picked it up. "This is the necklace Yuiren made for Aika." He then heard a groan. "A-Ai-." He stopped as his eyes widened. He saw her clothes were all messed up and she looked a bit beaten. The acorns fell off the necklace as he sat there stunned. One of the acorns rolled over to Aika and hit her hand. Aika's hand twitched and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Who…?" Her eyes widened slightly and she sat up, groaning from the suddenly pain she felt. 'My whole body hurts. Why…?' Her eyes widened a bit. 'Of course…he must have…Nakago…Nakago must have…' She covered her mouth with her hands. She then turned and saw Tamahome who was still stunned. Her eyes began to water. "Don't…look at me," she whispered as she turned away, disgusted with herself. She brought her vest up. "Don't look!" She cried.

The four Suzaku Warriors and Kurama were in the city, looking at everything.
"This is a thriving metropolis," Tasuki mused. Chichiri stepped up.
"Pardon me, ma'am. Is city in the Sairo Empire?" He asked someone who was wearing a cloak.
"Yes, it's on the border," the person replied before walking away. Tasuki stood up.
"See? Not such a long trip after all," Tasuki smirked.
"We can wait right here for Tamahome and Aika, ya know," Chichiri smiled.
'I don't know…why does it feel like my fur's standing up?' Kurama thought as he looked around with narrowed eyes. 'And Aika…I hope she's all right. I wonder what is going on. Ugh! I should have gone with Tamahome! He could be in trouble too if Nakago is involved which I have no doubt about. Old man, you better protect them and make sure they're okay,' he thought to the Sage of the Six Paths. The person that had talked to Chichiri turned the corner and turned to reveal himself as Tomo. He cackled.
"They're falling deeper and deeper under my spell. I'll never let you get to the real Sairo. Still, I don't see Tamahome with them. I better find him and quickly."
~0~
Aika held Niko as she rode on the horse, sitting in front of Tamahome. Her bangs covered her eyes now that her clip had broken.
"Chichiri and the others went on ahead of us so we better try to catch up with them, ya know!" Tamahome said trying to sound optimistic. He frowned when she didn't respond. "You know, because I worry about Tasuki getting them into trouble which he has a tendency to do, ya know. And then after all the woulda's and shoulda's and coulda's are said and done, Chichiri has to take Tasuki to task, ya know," he said to her. She didn't reply yet again. Tamahome cleared his throat. "Tasuki and task don't sound anything a like. I've gotta get myself some better material," he mumbled.
"Tamahome," Aika murmured making Tamahome look at her. "I'm a little bit tired. Can we stop and rest for a minute?" They soon made it to a forest by a stream and Tamahome stopped. Tamahome got off and helped Aika down.
"Okay, Aika, let's rest here for a while," he said to her. He then smiled and winked at her as he removed his sash belt. "Hang on. I'll go catch us some fish to cook up for our supper," he said to her before removing his shirt and shoes. Aika watched him silently as he and Niko ran to the stream to catch some fish.
'Tamahome,' she thought. She picked up his shirt and held it to her. 'Tamahome…he won't ask me anything and he hasn't said anything, but even if he asked, I couldn't answer him. Did I…did Nakago really…?'
"A soldier has taken off his armor and waited for you. The least you can do is show him a good time," Nakago smirked as he gripped her chin.
'I don't remember. I don't remember anything. Maybe nothing at all happened,' Aika thought before shaking her head. 'No, Nakago would have never just let me go. He used me like a thing. My first time and no love or desire. I was just an object of that man's plan. No…no!' she thought shaking her head and hugging Tamahome's shirt. Tamahome was in the water and smirked when he saw a fish.
"I see ya there," he said. He then quickly caught the fish and laughed a bit. "Gotchya!" he said holding the squirming fish. He looked over. "Aika! Look at this!" He smiled before he saw her taking her vest off. He dropped the fish as she disrobed herself completely and got into the water. He then went after her when she started going deeper into the water. "Aika, what are you doing?!"
"Cleaning myself!" Aika replied as she kept going.
"Hey, it's deeper over here!" Tamahome said not wanting her to go deeper.
"Maybe all I need to do is wash myself enough and my body really will become pure again," Aika said sounding distraught which surprised Tamahome.
"Aika…"
"How could I ever have done that with that horrible man?" Aika whispered. She grabbed a stick with leaves and tried scraping off all where Nakago touched her. "With that man…with that man…" she whispered as her skin reddened and starting to bleed from the harsh washing.
"Stop it, Aika!" Tamahome said grasping her shoulders. "You're bleeding!"
"Let me go!" Aika shouted as she struggled. "I said let me go!" She pushed him away. She wrapped her arms around herself and Tamahome looked at her with worry. Niko meowed his worry as his ears flattened.
"Let's get out, Aika. I'll get a fire started," Tamahome said before getting out of the water. Aika just hugged herself as she watched him.

Yui opened the flap of her yurt to see the sand and blazing sun.
"It's really hot out. The only thing to do is sleep until sunset," she mused.
"Yeah, that's right. And I don't think Nakago and Soi will come while the sun is still up," Suboshi said to her.
"I see."
"Lady Yui?" He asked only to receive silence. "Are you still angry with me about last night? You must believe me, I wasn't joking at all. I do-I really do love you, Lady Yui-!"
"Stop that!" Yui interrupted before standing with a glare at him. "You barely know anything about me! What were you planning to do if he hadn't stopped you? You were just like those other men!"
"Those…other men?" Suboshi asked confused until he realized. He gripped his arm as he shook with anger. "You were raped? When you first came into this world, you were raped by some men in downtown Kutou? It can't be true! I know it can't be!"
"Do you think I would make something like this up?! Now that you understand you'll stop this! It was Aika's fault! If I hadn't helped her to escape from this world, I never would have ended up here myself! It's true! It's all Aika's fault! And now, she and Tamahome are…"
"Aika….The Priestess of Suzaku caused you this suffering?" Suboshi asked angered making her eyes widen. "Lady Yui, no matter what happened to you, my feelings haven't changed and I swear, I'll never forgive anyone who has caused you pain," he vowed as he stood. He then went to leave.
"Suboshi, where are you going?" Yui asked him.
"I'll be back soon," Suboshi assured.

Aika was wearing Tamahome's shirt as the fire cackled, cooking the fishes. Tamahome picked one of them up.
"Here, Aika. Doesn't it smell good? You better have some too," he smiled at her, but saw she kept her back to him, not moving. Niko came up and bit the fish. Niko took the stick and began eating the fish. Tamahome glared at the cat and tied him to a stick while the poor cat screeched over the fire. "You little scavenger!"
"Now I…" Aika murmured making Tamahome and Niko look at her. Aika turned with a sad expression. "Now I can't marry you, Tamahome."
"Aika…" Tamahome looked at her with slightly wide eyes.

Shikamaru inwardly side and wiped the corner of his eye. He then looked at Naruto and Sasuke who were looking over the books.
"Okay…he must have joined the society back in…" Naruto's eyes widened. "Back in 1925?! That can't be! It's too recent!"
"How the hell is that even possible?" Sasuke asked. 'Just what the hell is going on?'
Kida: Poor Aika. Poor Tamahome...Must kill Nakago...
Hotohori: Though I wish we could get rid of Nakago, we need to keep him for the story.
Kida: Dammit!...I know...*Pouts*
Tasuki: You just love violence, don't ya?
Kida: *Shrugs* It's entertaining. I hope you all enjoyed the chapter! Please favorite and comment!
