A/N: Okay, I have decided to do different views of what happened
last chapter. Last chapter that was pretty much Hotohori's POV.
This chapter will be Tamahome's POV when he visits the sick and
ailing (spelling?) Miaka. Next chapter may be Miaka's POV on
both Hotohori and Tamahome when they visit her. Oh yes, I'm
trying to decide whether it should be a Tamahome/Miaka fic or
Hotohori/Miaka. And I'm sorry if Tamahome is OOC in this
chapter. Don't flame me for that. Anyways, please R&R, and no
flames! (Please tell me which pairing you want in your reviews.)
Arigatou!
One more thing. Thanks to SGG-chan for the suggestion... about the servants using "Her Eminence" instead of "Miaka."
Oh yes! Just one more thing. Thank you for all the reviews!! I love you all! I got 5 reviews the day I uploaded it. Hooray! ^-^ Keep them coming!

Tamahome walked into the room, looking at the tired Miaka. "Miaka!" he said softly. Miaka's eyes fluttered open.
"Tamahome..."
He smiled. It was so good to know she was okay. "Miaka, I'm so sorry," he whispered. "This is all my fault..." He remembered how Miaka told him that she was falling in love with him. He was very flattered, but he didn't want to show that he loved her back. "It's all my fault..." He hadn't responded to her confession; that was why she had fainted, right?
Miaka shook her head. "No, Tamahome. It wasn't your fault. I was just... I hadn't meant to tell you that... I love you..."
Tamahome flinched. "Miaka, I know. And I'm sorry... I'm sorry that this happened."
Miaka didn't say anything. "I do..." She ignored his last statement. "I love you Tamahome... every bit of me longs for you..."
Tamahome gulped hard. "Miaka..." He sat on her bed and placed a hand on her cheek. "I know you love me... but what you don't know is..." He sighed. "... I love you, too."
Miaka's eyes widened a bit. "Oh, Tamahome." She sat up, and hugged him gently, burrowing her face in the crook of his neck. He returned the hug, smelling the sweet scent of her hair. He pulled away slowly, and used his finger to lift her face up. He drew his face closer to hers. He stopped there for a moment, then went on ahead and kissed her quickly. He was moving fast... too fast for Miaka. Already, he was sucking her lips, trying to pry them open and deepen the kiss. She did not, though, open her lips. She just kissed him... while he tugged at the blanket that was wrapped around her. Pulling it down, off her body. She knew she wanted this, yet... it seemed all too quick. She loved Tamahome, but this was going too far. She pulled away, but Tamahome kept giving her little kisses around her neck. She put a hand on his chest to stop him and pulled the blanket over her again. "Stop," she gasped.
Tamahome looked at her with questioning eyes. "What? Why?"
"W-We're going a little too fast..."
Tamahome looked at the ground. "Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry..."
"It's okay. Someday, Tamahome. But not now."
He gave her a quick peck on the cheek. "Oh Miaka... I want to be with you so bad..."
"Not now... not here..."
He kissed her neck softly, moving down to her shoulder. Miaka whimpered, as if asking for more, but she knew Tamahome would respect her wishes she had mentioned earlier. He suckled gently on her soft skin. "Oh, Hotohori..." she whispered.
Hotohori?! Tamahome's head snapped up. Her looked at her, wide- eyed. Miaka had just realized what she had done, and gasped. "T- Tamahome, I-I didn't mean it... I mean, Hotohori's name... slipped out..." Miaka, you are such a fool. She scolded herself. How could you do that?
He looked at her with big eyes, his chest heaving. He bit his lip, and stood up. He looked at her sadly. "I'm sorry, Miaka... I need to be going now," he said, clenching his teeth.
"No! I mean, no, Tamahome. Please... stay a while longer," she begged. "I really didn't mean what I said earlier..." She kept on talking, but Tamahome didn't pay attention.
Of course you didn't, he thought bitterly. You just thought I was the emperor... loving you... with all my heart. Oh Miaka, why can't you see that I love you? You know I love you, yet you let Hotohori come between us! What did he say when he was in here, Miaka? What did he say? He looked at her with pleading eyes.
"I'm so... so sorry, Tamahome."
"Yeah? Well, so am I." He walked out of the room, saying nothing more.
= = = = = = = = = =
A/N: Well, there you go! The two men have started competing already! Each has given her a tender kiss... It may sound like Miaka is heading toward Hotohori, but I have a few twists and maybe some rocks (okay... boulders) during the path. I already have a plan in my head, but it's up to you reviewers to decide who Miaka will give her heart to! (And no, it's not going to be Tasuki or Chichiri or any of those other people. It's strictly between to two men who love her the most: Emperor Hotohori, or Tamahome.) Please R&R, and no flames! Arigatou, ja ne!
One more thing: The chapters will not be that long, just as long as the first and second chapter. This is the standard length of each chapter, but a handful may be longer or shorter.
