3-The New Universe- By Lovely-chan

Back in Kuto...

"Suboshi!!" Amiboshi yelled in his room and ran outside. "Nakago-sama! Suboshi is badly hurt, I must go find him."

"Tell Soi to go with you." -Nakago

"Alright." Amiboshi run over Soi and without telling Yui he left.

Yui saw them leaving and asked Nakago. "What's wrong, where is Suboshi?"

"He failed. Amiboshi went to find him, he is badly hurt."

Yui's eyes wet. "Suboshi…"

"Calm down Lady Yui, they will be no match for us all." -Nakago

Amiboshi found Suboshi fainted in the ground of a lonely place. "Suboshi! Suboshi please answer me!"

Suboshi opened one eye slowly and tried to smile. "A…niki. I knew…you'd come."

"Don't try to speak, we are going to take care of you right away. Let's go Soi." Soi teleported them back.

"Suboshi!" Yui ran to where he was lying. "Please be ok, you promised."

"We have to be prepare, they can attack us and if we don't pay attention, the Shinzajo will be taken away." Amiboshi said worried.

"I won't allow that Amiboshi. I don't care much for this world, but I accept to help." Nakago's attitude was a little weird for all of them.

"Don't eat so fast Miaka! You don't change at all." Nuriko said smiling. "We need to get Chiriko and Mitsukake…then we are all ready."

"Chichiri, did you locate Mitsukae or Chiriko?" -Miaka

"I haven't no da, something is disturbing my concentration."

"It's got to be that evil force taking over this world." Hotohori suggested.

"There is a possibility no da."

"We have to find them, before is too late." Taka said to them.

"Taka…I can't help it, I am too worried about Mirei. I want to find her first." -Miaka

"I know what you mean, I can't stop thinking about her…I didn't wanted to tell you this, but…I think she is the Kamii no Miko."

"WHAT!!!" Miaka was hysterical.

"Calm down Miaka, that is just Tamahome's opinion." Tasuki said.

"I though about that too no da."

"You mean, you all believe my daughter is…our enemy!!!" Miaka started to cry without consolation.

"Don't worry Miaka, if Mirei is in their side, she will listen to us and stop this right away." Taka tried to calm her down.

"Do you really think so Taka?" -Miaka

"Yes." -Taka

"Unless she is under some kind of spell." Nuriko opened her big mouth.

"You could at least try to calm her down!!" Tasuki yelled.

"Oops." ^_^ -Nuriko

"Takibi, it is great to have you here you know, because our meals are cook in just seconds and very nicely done too." Mirei eat and eat.

"Is that all I am good for?" L

"Of course not." Kaze said. "You are also good to turn some light on when the place is dark or at night." ^_^

"You think you are so funny, bird boy!!" -Takibi

"That doesn't bother me, because I am a bird boy." ^_^

"By the way Kaze…are you really human or a bird?" Mirei was so curious about Kaze.

"I was born from a woman, so I guess I am more human than animal. I was able to change to an owl after a spell a sorcerer of my tribe put me under."

"How do you break the spell?" -Mirei

"I can't, but I don't mind. I like flying and being an owl. I usually are an owl all the time, but since you guys appeared in my life I change the tradition." ^_^ -Kaze deep inside wanted to be normal.

"I liked you as a bird better…you didn't talk." Takibi said.

"I recall you hating the owl and not trusting it." -Kaze

"Oh, but now I prefer the owl." ^_^ -Takibi noticed the attention Mirei was giving him, that was the real reason.

"I think he is a lot more beautiful as a man." Mirei said and then blushed when she realized what she just said. "I mean..I…"

"Thank you Lady Mirei." For the first time we could see Kaze's cheeks in deep red.

"Are you sick Kzae, your face is burning!" Jimen laugh.

"I feel fine." -_- Kaze was so shy.

"Enough of this foolishness, we must concentrate on our surroundings and our goal. The Seiryu Shinzajo." Seiryoku had no sense of humor apparently.

"You are always so serious man, relax and enjoy." Takibi protested.

"We are not here to relax or enjoy; we are here to protect our priestess and achieve our goal."

"He is right." Jimen supported Seiryoku.

"So we must get bored huh." Takibi was upset.

"It's ok Takibi…I'll go fly around to see if there is no one near here." Kaze fly away while Mirei stared at him.

"You can stop looking now, he is gone!!" Takibi was apparently jealous.

"What is your problem anyway!" Mirei didn't like the attitude.

"We are near the place." Seiryoku said in a low voice.

"How do you know?" Jimen asked.

"Kaze told me." -Seiryoku

"What? He is not here." -Jimen

"Seiryoku can communicate with animals…that's why he can communicate with the only animal around." Takibi laugh again.

"The only beautiful animal, I must correct." ^_^ Mirei looked at Takibi with funny eyes.

"Oh I forgot that was an important detail…NOT!" Takibi was so jealous.

"Will you please be quiet Takibi, we have to be very careful."

"Yes sir!" Takibi knew he was being imprudent with all his yelling.

"Can't you take anything seriously?" Mirei asked a little annoyed.

"Well excuse me for having a sense of humor." _ -Takibi

"The entrance is this way. Follow me, and Takibi…be silent." -Seiryoku

"Ok, ok." -Takibi

They went to the back door, where Kaze told them to go through, there was no one outside on guard. Seiryoku opened the door and let them all inside; Kaze was staying outside to guard the exit.

"Convenient the owl, huh?" -Takibi

"I though I told you to stay quiet." -Seiryoku

"Sorry." _ [I can't say a word.]

They walked through an endless corridor till they reach an immense door blocking the way. "We must go through this door, but how can we open it, it is locked." Seiryoku was thinking.

"I could make the land make our way through, but we must go underneath the door."

"That could be a way…do it." -Seiryoku

"Hey I can burn it down." Takibi wanted to do something.

"What do you say Mirei?" Seiryoku asked.

"Let's burn it, maybe the movement of the ground can take too much attention." -Mirei

"It will be like an earthquake." Jimen

"Let's burn it, Takibi, do your thing, but don't be too messy." Seiryoku ordered the noisy warrior.

"Ok, I get the picture. Please stay back." Takibi burned a hole enough for all of them to go through without making any mess or burning the whole place out. "How about that?"

"Great job." -Seiryoku.

"Amiboshi stay here with Lady Yui and Suboshi, they are here. Soi, Miboshi come with me." -Nakago

"Yes." Both said.

Nakago, Soi and Miboshi went to the room where the Shinzajo was hidden and guarded by…them?

"There it is! Lady Mirei, you must be the one to take it." Seiryoku explained.

"Ok." She came closer. "Wow, it is a beautiful jewel."

"Just take it, let's go!" Takibi yelled.

"He is right come on, they can be here any minute." -Jimen

"Not so fast Kamii no Miko, I believe that belong to us." Nakago stand in front of her. She was so small beside that tall blond man.

"Yiahh!!! Seiryoku Help!"

"Leave Lady Mirei alone!!" -Seiryoku

Nakago grabbed her and lifted her in the air. "So this girl is the Kamii no Miko. You remind me of the Suzaku no Miko." He took the Shinzajo. "This is what you are looking for? I must not let you have it." He throws her to the ground, but Takibi managed to catch her.

"Thanks." Mirei said relieved.

The battle began. Nakago throw one of his life force blast toward them failing completely because of Seiryoku's shield, in return Seiryoku blast him as well, but Nakago protect himself with his own shield. Soi started the fight with Takibi and Miboshi with Jimen.

"Where did you leave your wind boy?" Miboshi asked; he wanted to get revenge with him.

"He is around." Jimen replied. "Now you can play with me."

"Good." -Miboshi

Nakago and Seiryoku were fighting very strongly, both of them were really powerful, and their powers could be compared somehow. "You can't touch me Seiryoku."

"We'll see about that!" Seiryoku's body glowed in purple light, his eyes also glowed like a real demon; even Nakago was impressed by the look of him. "Ahhh!!!" His entire body sent an energy wall against Nakago letting him go through Nakago's barrier.

"Impossible" Nakago fell on the floor with the impact but wasn't hurt.

Soi was trying to electrocute Takibi with her lightning, but he managed to avoid them. Takibi was already turned into a man of fire. Takibi surrounded Soi with flames but she teleported away to escape.

Miboshi was trapped inside a mountain of dirt. He was almost dead, trapped inside a hard and thick wall of ground. "This wasn't that bad." Jimen said.

Soi keep trying attacking both Jimen and Takibi, but Seiryoku used the energy of the lightning against her. "That was a bad trick girl, I can control energy, and all you send was energy. Convenient for me." Seiryoku smirked looking at Soi's body thrown in the floor.

Nakago tried to escape with the Shinzajo, but he noticed Soi and Miboshi were down. "Soi! Miboshi! They are all hurt." He looked around and decides to leave the place. He teleported to where Suboshi, Amiboshi and Yui were. "We are in trouble, we have to go now."

"You mean you couldn't stop them?" Yui yelled worried.

"I am afraid not." -Nakago

"I can't leave Suboshi. I will try to stop them wile you leave." Amiboshi said without hesitate.

"There is no use Amiboshi, we have to go. Forget about Suboshi." Nakago said roughly.

"No, I won't!" He insisted.

"Fine, let's go Yui-sama."

"I can't leave him." Yui said worried.

"We have no choice." After those words the Kamii seishis get inside the room. Nakago and Yui left. Amiboshi play one song making their ears hurt till their brains. In his pain Seiryoku communicate with Kaze to let him know they were escaping with the Shinzajo. When Nakago stepped outside with Yui, Kaze flied and took the Shinzajo from Nakago's hands with his claws. Kaze was making the wind blow stronger than in the middle of a hurricane; the air was filled with dust and it was hard to see things clear. Nakago try to stop him with a chi blast, but he managed to avoid it and with a strong breeze he flied away. Nakago and Yui couldn't see with all the dust in the air and loose the owl. "Damn! Don't worry Lady Yui, we'll get it back."

While Kaze was safe with the Shinzajo he communicate with Seiryoku telling him he had the Shinzajo. Seiryoku didn't answer, but did get the message; by this he figures they were in trouble. [Mirei…] He though worried. [Should I go back?]

Mirei's head seem to explode, she didn't understand how that same boy was still alive and without a scratch, then she saw Suboshi on a bed. [Their twins!]

Jimen noticed he was trying to protect his twin brother so he used his weak powers to provoke an earthquake, when rocks start falling down the roof Amiboshi realized he had to escape or Suboshi will die. He stop playing the flute and took Suboshi in his arms while he left in a flash.

"He won't get away!" Takibi yelled.

"Let him go." Seiryoku said calmly. "We have the Shinzajo."

"What do you mean we have the Shinzajo, we don't!! The blond guy took it!" Takibi yelled hysterical.

"Mirei!" Seiryoku ran to her. "Lady Mirei, please answer." He touched her arm. "She is alive, but in week conditions. That tune was really annoying; it must be too much for her. Those two boys…twins."

"I will take her." Takibi offered himself to carry her.

"Very well, let's go. Kaze have the Shinzajo." Seiryoku finally said.

"I figured that when you say we had it. That guy is amazing, how did he do it? That blond was really strong!" –Jimen said.

"He was." Seiryoku agreed.

"I get rid of one of them." ^_^ Jimen was pleased to kill Miboshi.

"Are you sure he is dead?" Takibi asked.

"Well, he must be suffocated by now." Jimen replied.

"We must take care of her soon Seiryoku, I am worried." Takibi said as he looked at Mirei.

"We'll take care of her now." Seiryoku answer coldly.

"What happen to her?! Is she ok?" Kaze asked as he stepped in front of them.

"She will be ok. Lay her down for a second." Seiryoku tried to send her some of his energy to help her react.

"Would that work?" Jimen asked.

"I hope." Seiryoku replied a little worried.

(Cough, cough) Mirei opened her eyes very softly. "Seiryoku…where is Kaze and the others?"

"Right here beside you." Kaze looked at her and smiled.

She turned her head and saw them all. "I am glad you are ok."

"We, who care about us. All we care is for you Mirei." Takibi was very worried for her.

"Thank you Takibi. I must rest now." –Mirei closed her eyes.

"You'll do that." Kaze said with a smile.

"Chiriko!!!" Miaka hugged the young man. "You are so big!"

"I am not a kid anymore. ^_^ Yo Tasuki, time have done no good to you."

"I was told already." -_- "I am old ;_;"

"Come on Tasuki, I am too no da!"

"Yeah, but no one is saying you look bad." -Tasuki

"I am sorry Tasuki, I didn't meant to hurt you." Chiriko smiled. "So I know why you are here, I read it in the stars. Kamii is trying to destroy this world to create her own new universe."

"We have to get all 28 constellations form Suzaku, Seiryu, Genbu and Byakko together to fight against them." Taka explained.

"Not only that Taka, we must join forces together, but must fight as one group, not separate groups, or we will loose." -Chiriko

"Looks like Chiriko have been doing his homework." -Miaka.

"We must find Mitsukake at once and find the rest of the groups. They know what they have to do too." -Hotohori

"Tatara, we must part…we are late already." -Suzono

"Suzono, I don't wish to go back." -Tatara

"Everyone else is there. Tokaki, Subaru, Kokie, Amefuri, Toroki, and Karasuki. We are the only ones that are not reborn." -Suzono

"If we go back, we would be separated at the end." -Tatara

"Let's see where this will take us." -Suzono

"I am by your side, Suzono." Both Tatara and Suzono weren't reborn again; their wish to stay together was stronger than the wish to come to life, but this time they must return. Byakko appeared before them and send them to the book world with a temporary body. They were needed to be reborn as adults and not as child, so they accept the proposition.

"I'll see you soon, Tatara-san." -Suzono
