WARNING! MINOR SPOILER ALERT!!

{~*~} The Dragon Appears Again {~*~}

As Taka and Miaka searched for their friends, Yui had decided to move on to
collage and study as a historian, specializing in ancient China.


**Twin Star: and who all saw that one coming? ^^;;**

As she packed her things to move into a dorm that was closer to the university,
she hardly noticed a shadow in the corner of her room, until she felt as if she was being
watched. Pulling out a small dagger that she had received from an old boyfriend, she
turned, the dagger held high. Then she met the piercing blue gaze of Nakago. "Nakago!",
Yui all but screamed. Smirking slightly he said simply, "You need not scream Yui-sama.
I am here for a reason."


"Indeed, I sent him to you," said a deep voice, one Yui had not heard since she
had been devoured by, "Seiryu," she muttered, shivering. "Have you come to devour me
once again?", she spat bitterly.


"Hardly. I thought you might like to know that your Senshi will be returned
to you in this world. I have already brought you Nakago, he will assist you in your
search for the rest," Seiryu said as his haunting gray eyes hovered above Nakago's blonde head.


"I also took the liberty of bringing a guide and your Miko clothes, since you'll need
them," Nakago said as he held out a pile of clothes and a Liazen Board.

**Twin Star: Li's {from Card Captor Sakura} super spiffy board {pronounced "Lay-zon"}
that led him to the cards, so yeah, just to clarify that.**

Still wary of this visit from her guardian god, she took the clothes and laid them on her bed.
"Arigatou, but why are my Senshi being returned? I thought Miaka had sealed away the book forever."
Nakago shrugged and answered, "All will be revealed as the time comes, Yui-sama."


"No, you will answer me now, or I will not cooperate," Yui demanded stubbornly. Sighing,
Seiryu explained, "All the Four gods have detected an evil energy that could possibly destroy
both our worlds, so We have decided that it would be best to fight it in this world rather
than in ours. That is why Suzaku and I have called our mikos back into our services.
Genbu and Byakko will find new mikos and senshi of this world, all of whom will meet up
with you later. Once you have found all of your celestial warriors, you will meet with the other
mikos and we will decide on a plan then." And with that, Seiryu vanished, leaving Yui and Nakago.


"Now, Yui-sama, shall be begin our search?"


"I still am not sure if I can trust you," Yui said, resentful, "The last time I did, you betrayed me."


"And I humbly request your forgiveness. Death has taught me many things," Nakago bowed.
Still not trusting him, she accepted his apology.



========================================================================
New translations in this chapter:

"-sama" - "Lord/Lady" - basically a suffix to show athority...

"miko" - "Priestess" - just like miaka is the "suzaku no miko", yui is "seiryuu no miko"

"Arigatou" - "Thank(s) [you" - ^^;;
