***The Beast God of Fire and Love*****

Nousatsu stood alone in front of the altar. She knew that they were all
there, behind her, but still, she felt so alone. "Oh for shit
Nousatsu!" she thought to herself, gaining confidence. "Where's that
warrior I know? Where's the fear you put into others? Where's the quick
tongue and fiery temper? The evil laugh and smile, the wonderful fun
you get in manipulating men? Pull yourself together!"
Confidence regained, she stepped up onto the altar. She closed her eyes
and began to concentrate. The remaining seishi and their priestess
watched as Nousatsu raised her arms and called out into the sky;
"Suzaku! I summon thee to us! Come down from heaven, O God of Fire! We
await your presence! I summon to save!"
Tasuki heard thunder and looked up. The sky was shot through with veins
of red. The winds began to swirl around in the middle of the altar,
slowly expanding towards Nousatsu, consuming her with the white cloud.
Suddenly, the round, white sphere burst with red light, and shot
upwards to the heavens. The red light disappeared in the sky; the
heavens began to swirl, slowly then quicker and quicker. A red beam
separated the heavens, and the beam coursed down until it was directly
over the altar. "Suzaku has been summoned," thought Tasuki.

Inside the white sphere, Nousatsu opened her eyes just as a red light
flooded the small area. Then, standing before her was a very handsome
man, dressed all in red. He walked up to her and looked into her eyes.
"Are you the priestess who has summoned me?"
"I have summoned you, Suzaku, but I am not your priestess."
He nodded. "Of course. You are the Eighth Warrior, the one who has
broken the seal that the Priestess of Seiryuu has put upon me. Will you
couple with me so that your wishes be granted?"
Nousatsu hesitated. "Yes, I will couple with you."
"Very well. When you are ready to have a wish granted, simply say the
word Ki-jii."
He reached out and seemed to put his hands on her shoulders, but
instead went into her body. Nousatsu felt a sensation like ice flowing
through her. She felt the God Suzaku reach into every crevice of her
body, warming each part he touched. Soon, the extreme temperatures and
the emotional weight of the God inside her were just too much.
Gasping for air, Nousatsu fell to the floor, unconscious.
