Miaka sighed softly and tried to keep her eyes open. She had forgotten how hard traveling could be on a person! Besides, she had had that nightmare again last night. Thankfully, she hadn't woken anyone up. Hotohori smiled down at her as he led the horse forward, supporting her with his arms. "Ahhh, why th' hell do we hafta search for the sonouva-" Tasuki stopped when Hotohori threw him a death glare. Miaka smiled. Apparently, old battles were hard to forget! "Hotohori?" He looked down at her again. "What is it, Miaka?" She smiled again. "Thank you for bringing everyone along on this trip. I guess I really need their support right now." "I know." Then, to the others, he said: "Why don't we stop at the next village and rest?" Everyone nodded in agreement, and they kept riding, eager to reach the next village and rest.
**********************************************
"There's still no word?" Keisuke sat down in the chair next to the hospital bed, stroking Miaka's cold hand with his thumb. His mother shook her head and sighed, worry lines creasing her forehead. "No, not a word. The doctors say that if she doesn't wake up soon, we'll have to let her go..." Keisuke looked up in shock, then nodded. 'Please wake up soon, Miaka... please!'
**********************************************
Hotohori was pleased. The little caravan had been traveling at a steady pace, and they would reach the next village in about two hours. There, he, Miaka, and the other Suzaku shichisei could get a bath, and sleep in an actual bed tonight. Miaka yawned in her sleep and snuggled against him, almost falling off the horse in the process. Hotohori chuckled and grabbed her gently, making sure she didn't fall. He barely noticed how quickly the time passed, until Tasuki looked around and said, "Hey, ain't this near Tamahome's village?" Everyone rolled their eyes, minus Miaka and Chichiri. "Thank you for stating the obvious, Tasuki." Nuriko said, rolling his eyes again. They started to argue with each other, but it had a deeper meaning underneath; coming from two people who shared a wonderful friendship with each other. Everyone else looked on, amused, as Tasuki threatened to burn Nuriko to a crisp with his Harisen. Nuriko, in turn, flicked the iron fan away with one finger. "All right! We'll stop here and find an inn to stay at. And we also need to stop Nuriko and Tasuki from killing each other." Hotohori said. They finally found an inn with four rooms available, and they rested for the night.
**********************************************
"Miaka, no da?" Miaka gasped and turned around, clutching at her heart. "Chichiri! Don't scare me like that!" "Sorry, no da. What are you doing out here at this hour, no da?" "I don't really want to talk about it, Chichiri." Miaka turned back around and looked up at the stars. "Did you have your nightmare again, no da?" Chichiri asked her gently, after awhile. "He told you about that?!" Chichiri nodded. "Don't look so hurt, Miaka-chan. Hotohori-sama is only worried about you, no da." Chichiri hugged her gently. "Don't worry, no da. We'll find him." She smiled. "Okay, I won't... thanks for talking to me." Miaka kissed his cheek and ran back inside, determined to get a good night's sleep, for once. After all, tomorrow was the day she searched for Taka, and she had to be prepared for anything.
