Soi had an angry look on her face and raised both of her hands into the air. The last thing Mizuki saw was a streak of lightning coming down on her. This wasn't Mizuki. "W-Who are you?!" Soi asked with fear trembling in her voice. "I am Akita Suzaki. I am the creator of the air gem." Everyone gasped. Her voice was sweet but it echoed across the boat. Akita slowly swiped her hand across the trapped warriors and the electronic prison that was surrounding them had vanish. "You have darkness in your heart. You are not worthy of the gem and you must leave." Akitas eyes turned completely yellow. Mizuki woke up remembering nothing until the lightning was coming down on her. She slowly sat up and was attacked by the blond twins. "What happened?" Mizuki asked. Nuriko came into the room with a bowl of soup. He started to explain what happened and the advice that Akita had given them. Mizuki smiled slowly eating her soup. Tasuki came in and instantly hugged her tightly. "Thank Suzaku your OK." Mizuki hugged him. "Where are we now?" Nuriko said "We are pulling into Shantou. That's where the next gem should be located." Mizuki smiled knowing that they were getting closer to their goal.
At the Docks of Shantou:
Mizuki smiled at the area until a freezing breeze came by. "Look at all the fluffy sheep!" Mizuki yelled "They need that wool ITS COLD HERE! Tasuki use that fan of yours to light us a fire." Nuriko said shivering. "I don't use it for stupid stuff like that you moron." Mizuki started to shiver at the cold air. "We better head into town to buy some winter clothes. I need my toes for walking." Mizuki giggled as Tasuki was fanning Nuriko. The group stopped into a little shop and bought enough winter clothes. "OH THANK WHOEVER! I thought I was gonna freeze to death." The blue and orange haired girl said stretching. Tasuki came up from behind her with a big hug. Rin and Len were hugging for warmth. "Rin, Len, you two go to the library and try to find out about the gem of water." They did a salute and ran off to the library. "The rest of us will so to see if we can find any clues to the location." Everyone split up and started to search for the gem.
In the Library:
Rin and Len were searching through mountains of books. They searched threw every section they could think of. Rin was getting so bored that she actually fell asleep but Len kept of reading. They searched and read for hours until Len could almost not see straight. He was about to give up when he saw what they were looking for. "HERE IT IS! I FOUND IT!" Rin jolted awake at his words. "This is the story of the water gem." Len started to read it out loud.
The Story of the Water Gem:
Umiko, which means child of the sea, is the second sister. She fell in love with a foreigner named William Smith and him with her. In order to be together, she sealed her powers in a gem like her sisters and kept the gem around her neck. But William wasn't faithful to her so she lost it. Her powers returned to her and Umiko wreaked havoc on the town. Her sisters calmed her down and they decided to be together for the rest of their lives. Their power grew weaker. Umiko hid the gem in a mountain she use to play in with her sisters. The mountain is located in the regains along the edge of the border.
In the Present:
"We have to find the others. We got to tell them that we found the gem." Rin and Len ran out of the library and started to search for the others. The sun was setting until the twins found the others. "HEY! GUYS!" Rin and Len said together. " They ran up to the group and said "We found the gem and the story of the gem." Mizuki shushed them and they they all were pulled into a crowded eating area. "OK. Tell us what you found." Len started to tell the story of how Umiko lost her head and where the gem is located. "Well then. Tomorrow we should all head up to that mountain. It should only take a little while to get there." Everyone toasted to the idea. "But how are we going to get there? We don't have any horses." Rin asked. "We can just ask Mizuki for some assistance." Mizuki looked at Kouji confused. "Last time you summoned wolves to take us up. You can summon another animal to take us up." Kouji had a happy grin. "I will try. But I am not familiar with the fauna in this area so we must hope that we have large animals here that can assist us and take us up." Mizuki drank her beverage. "We are getting closer and closer to summoning Suzaku every day." Miskage said. Mizuki realized that after all of this is done, everyone will go their separate ways. She kept the fake smile on as they ate and went off to bed.
The Next Day:
Mizuki woke up early and saw the sun was just starting to rise. She yawned and changed into a pair of long legged pants with a long sleeved shirt. The blue haired girl ate an energy bar for breakfast then suited up in the winter clothes. She went outside close to the forest. She called out to the wild and a large wolf howl came from her lips. She heard rustling from behind her. As she turned around, Mizuki saw four large wolves come out from behind her. She gasped at them then smiled. Slowly pushing her hand towards the beautiful creatures, she lightly petted them, gaining their trust. As she was petting them, Mizuki noticed that Nuriko got on a horse and started heading to the mountain. After looking at the direction, she knew that Nuriko was heading to the mountain alone. "Dumb-ass." Mizuki ran inside and told the person in charge of the hotel a message to tell her friends. Mizuki ran out of the inn and sprinted towards the tall mountain. After she was far enough away from civilization, Mizuki changed into her fox form and dashed to the top with a growl escaping her lips. Snow kept splashing into her face and her fur felt heavy from the melted water. As she got closer, she smelled blood in the air. "Nuriko. Wait for me!" Mizuki ran faster and faster as she could. Like a dog she panted until she saw Nurikos horse running down the hill. When Mizuki saw that, despite her exhaustion, the fox girl ran faster then ever before. When she reached the top, she saw something she never wanted to see.
Back in the Hotel:
Tasuki, Rin, Len, Miskage, Chichiri, and Kouji all went downstairs thinking that Nuriko and Mizuki were already down at breakfast. The owner came up to them and said "Lady Mizuki left a message for you." Tasuki looked interested. "She said: I saw Nuriko go up the mountain alone. Come straight up as soon as you can. I sense danger coming this way." With that everyone looked at each other and ran out to buy horses. Thanking the owner, the group mounted their horses and began riding to the top.
Back at the Top of the Mountain:
Mizuki saw Nuriko with holes in her stomach and in a pool of blood. She ran to the man and felt for a pulse. "Barley alive. I have to do something. Stay with me Nuriko!" Mizuki thought for a second then remembered the chi transfusion. Mizuki pulled Nurikos head to her lap and stared at him. She gasped knowing that her life would be at risk. Despite her fear of death, Mizuki placed her palms against Nurikos temples and closed her eyes. A small force field of pink, orange, yellow, red, and black surrounded the blue haired girl. "Sit aura nigrum, rubrum , rosea , flavo impia amicus. Producite eam , et dedit illi virtutem continendi vim vivam!' The force field started to surround Nuriko. Mizuki opened her eyes but they looked dead. She let the chi slowly drain from her and into the cross dresser. The priestess felt her body grow weak and frail. She fell back with her hands still on Nurikos head and her eyes turned dull. Moments later; the rest of the gang came up on the mountain to see Nuriko waking up and Mizuki lying lifeless against the cold snow. Tasuki gasped and ran to Mizuki as Nuriko sat up, pulling his head away from Mizukis hands. Tasuki pulled Mizukis lifeless body into his chest screaming her name. "She did a chi transfusion." Chichiri said. Tasuki looked up to him confused. "She transferred her life force into Nuriko. It is now up to her own will to live." Tasuki looked down at Mizuki continuing to yell her name.
In Mizukis Head:
Mizuki woke up looking confused. "Where am I?" She asked in a daze. "Oh right. I gave Nuriko some of my life force. This must be limbo." She can hear faint screams coming from above. She looked around to see a little field of flowers. In the field were her parents waiting for her. Mizuki ran towards them when they stopped her. "Mom. Dad." They smiled at her. "Mizuki. Listen to me." She looked at her mother. "You need to go back." The blue haired girl gasped and shook her head. "NO! I wanna stay here with you." Her dad chuckled. "I know you miss us. But look at all the friends you have now." Mizuki looked down. "And what about Tasuki?" Her mother said. "Listen closely." Mizuki could hear screams coming from behind her. She could hear the faint sound of Tasuki screaming. "But what about you two?" They petted her head gently. "We're fine. We are watching over you. So don't worry. Live your life and be happy." Mizuki smiled at her parents waving goodbye. "I love you." was the last thing she could say before she was lifted into the air. A bright flash of light appeared before she vanished from her mind.
Back in the Normal World:
Mizuki groaned before opening her eyes. Everyone gasped and smiled with tears in her eyes. "Oi my head. What happened?" She was suddenly attacked my Rin and Len. Everyone was shouting their joys and happiness so loud that it echoed through the mountains. Tasuki looked the happiest of them all. "Mizuki. I am so sorry that you had to do that for me but you could have died." Mizuki smiled at him. "I was bout to walk into heaven when my parents stopped me. I heard all of your voices oulling me back. But Nuriko, if you ever do something that stupid again, I'll tear yiur throat out." Everyone laughed. "Now if I am not mistaken, we have a gem to get." Mizuki stood up but was instantly hugged by Tasuki. The group walked in with Tasuki holding Mizuki close. As they were walking deeper into the cave, the stalactites started to shake and come down in the group. Mizuki raised her hands and created a barrier along with Chichiri. As they stopped falling, two warriors appeared out of no where. "What buisness do you have here?" Mizuki walked forward and said "We need the gem on water in order to summon Suzaku." Ice snakes were suddenly thrown at her. Before they could hit her, Tasuki used his flame to melt the snakes. The guardians grabbed Mizuki, holding her wrist behind her back and started to examin her. She was dropped to the ground and was told "if you are the priestess of Suzaku, then prove it with a test." Mizuki agreed. "Take off all your clothes!" Everyone gasped at this and Tasuki started yelling at him. "THATS HOW YER GONNA TELL IF SHE IS THE PRIESTES?!" "YA GUYS ARE A COUPLE OF SICK PERVERTS!" Kouji finished. The guardians started yelling at them when Mizuki yelled "I'll do it!" Mizuki started to take off her clothes piece by piece as Tasuki tried to cover his friends eyes. She stripped till she was down to her underwear. One of the guardians lifted his hand up and Mizuki felt a cold chill flow through her body. Before she knew, the bottom part of her legs were covered with a thick block of ice. "MIZUKI!" Tasuki yelled trying to run towards her but was stopped by a clear wall of ice. Every few seconds, an inch of ice moved up. Mizuki started screaming in pain as the ice reached to her stomach. She screamed louder as the ice reached her shoulders. She took a deep breath and her body was surrounded by a block of ice. Mizukis name was being shouted out by her friends. "She was just a normal girl after all. Her heart will stop soon." Suddenly the ice started to crack. Tasuki looked up to see Mizuki pushing the ice away. A bright light surrounded the girl and was powerful enough to break the wall. Mizuki feel to her knees coughing and shivering. Tasuki can up to her and started to wave his fan in front of her. She started to warm up instantly. The box with the air gem in it started to levitate. A heart shaped ice blue gem floated into the box then the box landed in Mizukis hands. "Take good care of the gems... priestess Suzaku." The guardians said together as they bowed deeply to the girl. They started floating in the air and vanished from sight, signaling that the gem now belongs to her.
