Chichiri stared into the camp fire as he listened to the conversation between his deceased friends. He hated it when any one of his friends were having problems. And wether Tasuki showed it or not, he had a problem. Further more, it was athe type of problem that wasn't so easy to solve, and also, will hurt someone in the long run.
"Hey Chichiri, why so quiet? Something on your mind?" He looked up to see Nuriko's inquisitive gaze on him.
"It's Tasuki, y'know. He hasn't quite been himself since Tamahome and Miaka returned." Nuriko gave a solomn nod as agreement.
"I know.I mean, who hasn't noticed?" He shrugged helplessly and looked into the clear night sky as Chiriko chimed in.
"I agree fully. He hasn't been quite as brash as usual."
"That is until Tamahome is meantioned." Hotohori said softly, putting his two cents in. Chiriko looked over towards the ghostly figure of the Emporer of Konan and tilted his head slightly.
"Do you think he is jealous in some way?"
"I do," Hotohori replied just as softly as before. Nuriko gave the two a curious look.
"Of what do you think?"
"Miaka" Hotohori and Chichiri replied in unison, then Nuriko smiled slightly.
"Oh I see." He mused softly." Who would of thought a girl had won his heart."
"Oooo a girl won whose heart?" Miaka asked curiously as she sat down next to Chichiri. She appeared just moments ago and everyone was so involved in their conversation to take notice.ofcourse, until she said something. She blinked a few times as everyone avoided the question, except for Chichiri, who chuckled softly.
"Tasuki's. Hey where's Taka, y'know?" he said as he glanced around quickly, not catching sight of the one who seemed permenantly glued to Miaka's side lately.
Miaka's eye grew wide as she just noticed that Taka wasn't with her, which was quite unusual.
"He.he's not here?" She stammered uneasily. "He was at his house when I came here."
"Hmm.." Chichiri brought his finger to his chinthoughtfully. Miaka shifted a bit to get more comfortable and glanced around. Only one, aside from Taka, was missing.
"Hey why isn't Tasuki with you guys?" She asked, beginning to feel a bit worried. Monsters have been running rampent lately, and he might be in trouble.
"He went off by himself." Nuriko replied, jerking a thumb in the right direction. "But he has been gone for a while.maybe one of us shoud go after him."
"I'll go!" Miaka volanteered, scrambling to her feet.
"Do you think that is wise Miaka?" Hotohori asked quietly, concern filling his voice. Miaka smiled and turned towards the direction Nuriko pointed out earlier.
"Don't worry about me! I'll be just fine!" She waved and headed off to find Tasuki.
