{~*~}The Strong Man - Nuriko Is Next!{~*~}
"Tamahome," Miaka whined, "I'm hungry." Taka, sighing with a sweat-drop
hanging over his head and Sei grinning as he remembered Miaka's insatiable appetite,
they decided that it was time to find some lunch. As they headed to a small cafe not to
far from them, they heard the delighted squeals of a little girl and the astounded 'wows' of
a couple little boys from across the street. Curious, Miaka looked to see what the kids
were looking at. A young muscular man was lifting various objects for the children's
delight. Miaka stopped dead as she saw the young man's face. Sei and Taka, stopped as
well, wondering what had startled Miaka. "What's up Miaka?" Taka asked.
"Nuriko," is all she said before dashing across the street. The guys rushed after
her, having no idea what was happening. As the trio got closer to the small of group of
children and the young man, Miaka, stopped running and waited for the other two to
catch up to her. Still out of breath, the guys asked Miaka what the big idea was, running
off on them like that. She merely nodded to the young man, who was currently lifting a
stone bench over his head with one hand. The guys looked at each other and they all
began to grin. They made their way to the group and the children scattered as they
approached. Setting the bench down, the young man turned to them and smiled, "Hey.
Enjoying the show?" he said as he winked at Miaka. Miaka smiled sweetly and said,
"What's your name? Can I get your autograph?" Taka snorted, feeling a twinge of
jealousy at the coyness in Miaka's voice. Sei merely hid the grin of amusement at Taka's
reaction. The young man, not noticing a thing, grinned widely, "Why sure, Bishoujo,
anything for a lovely lady." Miaka walked toward him, holding the Orb in her hand. The
young man glanced at it briefly, but assumed that she had a pen and paper in her pocket.
When Miaka was within touching distance, she held the Orb in both hands and the Orb
reacted, sending a beam of red light to the young man's chest, right above his heart. The
young man, astounded tried to back up, when he felt a familiar power surge into his blood
and memories erupted from his mind like a dam had broken. Crumpling, he closed his
eyes until the memories subsided and he got used to the power flowing inside him. Then
he opened his eyes to meet brown ones.
"Miaka!" he cried as he clutched the girl close and cried with happiness at seeing
her again. "Nuriko," she whispered as she hugged him tightly, grateful at finding her
closest friend again. When he had calmed, the third warrior of the Suzaku Senshi, raised
his head to see Taka and Sei. "Tamahome! Hotohori-sama!" he cried as he got up to hug
his long time friends. "It's good to see you again, Nuriko," Taka said. Grinning and
shaking his head, "My name in this world is Souseiji Ren."
"I'm Sukunami Taka,"
"And I am Hogoki Sei."
"And I'm just Plain old Miaka!" Miaka said with a big grin. The guys laughed, and
they rejoiced in the fact that their group was almost complete.

"So, Nuriko, where are we going?" Miaka asked as the group walked around
downtown Tokyo. Grinning, Nuriko just said, "You'll see when we get there." They still
hadn't eaten yet, and Ren said that he knew the perfect place. Miaka was getting cranky,
but the guys joked and teased her so she soon forgot about being hungry. After twenty
minutes, Ren stopped and looked over his shoulder to the others, "We're here!" It was a
small restaurant that Miaka and Taka had eaten at a few times. Miaka turned to Ren,
"You work here, Nuriko?" Grinning he replied, "Work here? This is my family's
restaurant." Walking inside, they were greeted by a girl that looked very similar to Ren
who seated them in a cozy spot near the kitchen. "Mi, hold on a sec," Ren said, catching
the girl's hand. Turning back to his friends, he introduced her, "Guys, this is my twin
sister, Misora. Mi, this is Taka, Sei, and Miaka." After the introductions were made,
they placed their orders and sat and got to know each other better. They learned that the
reason why Miaka and Taka had never seen him here before was because he had been
living in America with his aunt to learn in an American school until he felt ready to
return home.
"Ren, is Mi your sister from your past life as well? And what about your other
brother?" Miaka asked with great interest. Laughing, Ren explained all about his family.
He did have a brother and he suspected that they were his siblings from his past life, "But
it really doesn't matter anymore. I've found all of you again, so I know that I'll be
happy." Then, taking out a small switchblade from his pocket, Ren cut off his ponytail
like he did before they went on the quest for the shinzahou. Everyone gaped at him, but
he shrugged and said, "I want to live this life right and live it as a man." Miaka, smiling
spotted Mi carrying the tray with their food and she began to drool openly. Taka, with a
pained groan started to apologize, but Ren simply laughed and said, "Some things never
change Tama-chan." As they ate, they chatted some more, and remembered the good
times of when they were all together. Soon they were ready to head out to see who else
they could find.
