Embrace the Memory

Remembrance
"Tasuki, you have to help me, no da!" Chichiri pleaded.
"Why the hell are you asking me? I hate people so just keep Miaka and her problems the hell away from me!" Tasuki snorted.
"Tasuki! I'm begging you, no da! Nothing but grief will come from this, no da!" Chichiri went super-deformed as he grovled on the floor.
"Stop that!" Tasuki snapped, "Fine, fine, fine... Alright, what happened while you were in Kotou?"
"Well...."
'Chichiri! Take Miaka and go!' Tamahome ordered.
'Nani? Why, no da? You have to come to, no da!' Chichiri cried in alarm.
'I'll be right there.. I just want to try to... Convince Yui to come back with us. I promise I'll be fine,' Tamahome kept his eyes glued on Yui. Chichiri frowned, then nodded.
'Hai, hurry, Tamahome, no da!' He said as he helped Miaka to her feet.
'Miaka, Chichiri, RUN! I'll meet you at the border!' Tamahome commanded.
"That was probably the first sign that something was screwed up, Chichiri," Tasuki pointed out.
"I know, no da... I just didn't realize it at the time, no da,"
'Yui-chan!' Miaka ran to embrace her life-long friend.
'Miaka...' Yui smiled sofly and looked up at Tamahome next to them. Miaka soon released Yui and embraced Tamahome.
'Tamahome! You're amazing! How?' Miaka asked.
'Never mind that, we have to report to Hotohori-sama,'
"And you didn't notice this damn lame excuse because...?"
"Let me continue, no da!?" Chichiri whined.
"Fine, fine, fine, and whatever," Tasuki replied.
'Yui-chan? You've really forgiven me? Really, truly, honestly?' Miaka mewed. Yui giggled.
'Yes, Miaka, I have,' Yui replied softly.
'ALRIGHT!' Miaka whooped.
'Lets head back now everyone,' Tamahome instructed as he saddled up his horse.
'There are only two horses, no da?' Chichiri pointed out.
'Miaka? May I sit with Tamahome?' Yui asked politely.
'Uh... Sure!' Miaka got on the horse with Chichiri.
"..and then we got back here, no da," Chichiri finished.
"Well, looks like Tamahome might have used his body was a bargaining chip," Tasuki shrugged.
"Nani?! !!! Tasuki! Don't joke like that, no da!" Chichiri exclaimed.
"Who says I'm joking?" Tasuki said bluntly, "Anyway-" Tasuki stopped.
"Yui!"
"Miaka! Please, Miaka! Stop!"
"Yui! Why? Just when I was so happy!"
"Miaka! Please! What will Tamahome do?"
"No more excuses, stop talking Yui. I'm going to silence you, forever,"
And the rain began to fall...
