Old Enemies, New Friends

Part 2

By: A.J. Matthews

1 In Reedington

Li stared at Miaka. "So they've been taken to this other world?" He looked pale.

"Yes. Tamahome is from the other world as well," Miaka said. She felt sorry for the boy, who looked distraught.

"Yes, indeed," Yui said coldly. "I'm sure Nakago will give them a proper greeting- once he figures out that they're from my world."

"What does that mean?" Li snapped. He really didn't like the blond girl. She was cold and scary. And she kept glaring at Miaka.

"Oh, nothing." Yui smirked.

"Stop it, Yui!" Miaka yelled. "There's a chance that they might end up in Kutou, but hopefully they'll end up in Kouna. Hotohori is the emperor there, Li."

Yui slapped Miaka hard. "Don't tell me what to do. Remember, everything that happened to me was your fault. You found the book."

Tamahome slapped Yui back, as tears ran down Miaka's face. "Stop blaming Miaka, Yui. She couldn't have done anything to save you even if she had been there."

Yui glared at Tamahome. "Well, we'll never know, will we? I'm outta here." Yui walked away in a cold fury. She looked back at Li, who didn't understand what she was referring to when Yui told Miaka 'everything that happened to me was your fault'.

"Hey, kid, better hope that what happened to me doesn't happen to them," she snapped, as she exited the library.

Li looked at Miaka. "How do I get my friends back?" He didn't want to ask about why Yui acted the way she did; not too mention why Miaka let Yui treat her like t hat.

"I'm not sure. Tamahome, Yui, and I were brought back here by one of Yui's three wishes. Maybe Taiitskun can do something." Miaka wiped her tears away.

"Could you guys come with me and explain it to Sakura and Kero?" Li asked. "I'm not sure I understand it fully myself."

"Sure, Li," Miaka said. Tamahome nodded.

Li then realized that Tori had the keys. "We'll have to take the bus."

The three of them walked out of the library together.

2 The Base of Mount Taikyo

Julian opened his eyes slowly. He felt better than he had in days.

"Tori?" he mumbled, as he sat up.

"Yeah, Julian?" Tori looked over at his best friend, still bound tightly in chains.

"You ok?" Julian stood up and ran over to Tori. He pulled on the chains. "Why are you chained like this?"

"We were captured, remember? You passed out," Tori said.

Nakago laughed. It was a cold, harsh laugh that sent shivers down Julian's spine.

"You're both awake, then? Good." He walked over to Julian. "Change, boy," he said. "I want to fully understand your powers."

"What do you mean?" Julian asked. He looked baffled. Inside of him, Yue tensed. Tori was giving him a look that said, don't do it.

"Transform, kid!" Nakago snapped. "Unless you want to see your friend get hurt." He snapped his fingers.

Soi and Muboshi walked over to Tori. Soi had her whip out and cracked. Muboshi pulled Tori's shirt up, revealing his bare back.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Julian protested.

"Do it, Soi," Nakago commanded coldly.

Her whip struck Tori hard. To his credit, he didn't flinch or cry out.

"I really don't know, I swear!" Julian said, looking at Tori.

"Again." Nakago looked at Tori. "Five times, this time."

The whip cracked down five times. Blood dripped off Tori's back.

"Tori!" Julian cried. He turned to run over to his friend, but Nakago grabbed his arm.

"Change!"

Julian's eyes met Nakago's blue ones. "I really don't have any idea of what you're talking about! Stop hurting Tori!"

Soi struck Tori again, ten times this time, and harder each time. Tori looked at Nakago and smirked.

"He doesn't change consciously," he snapped. His bare back was bloody.

The whip cracked down again.

"Lekka Shien!" The fire burned the whip before it touched Tori's back.

"Stand down, Nakago, and let them go," Hotohori said. Tasuki and Nuriko stood next to him.

Nakago slammed Julian into a rock. Hard. Julian cried out and changed.

Yue's eyes looked straight at Nakago's.

"Let go of me." His voice was soft, yet harsh. "And I may spare you then."

"Yue!" Tori cried.

Nakago smirked at Yue. "I don't think so. Your powers are incredible. I will use them to crush the Suzaku warriors."

"Very well." Yue summoned his energy and flew into the air. Nakago still held him tightly. Yue flew in circles and upside down, trying to get Nakago off him.

Muboshi tried to attack Hotohori, but was stopped by a bolt of fire.

Tasuki smirked at him. "I don't think so, asshole."

P.

Tori finally managed to climb onto his feet, thought they were still changed together. He swung his chained hands at Soi's head, and struck her hard, from behind. She crumbled to the ground.

"Payback sucks, don't it, bitch," he muttered. He looked at Tasuki warily. The last time he'd seen this guy,

he'd tried to burn him with a bolt of fire. Then he looked up in the air. "Yue!"

Nakago refused to let go of Yue. The angel was too powerful to be on Suzaku's side.

Yue sighed. There was only one way he knew of to get Nakago off of him. He flew directly into the cliff side.

The Suzaku Seishi sweatdropped.

"Is he tryin' ta kill himself?" Tasuki asked.

"Yue!" Tori ran forward.

Nakago fell to the ground, unconscious. Muboshi teleported the three of them away.

Yue flew down carefully. One of his wings was losing feathers.. He landed in front of Tori. Yue turned to face the Suzaku warriors.

Tori touched Yue's injured wing as gently as he could, with his hands still chained. "You're hurt, Yue," he whispered.

"So are you, Tori." Yue saw the whip lashes on Tori's back and clenched his teeth.

"Ahem," Hotohori coughed. "It seems we owe you a bit of an apology," he said.

Nuriko nodded. "We.we thought you were an enemy. I'm sorry."

"And I am, as well." Hotohori looked at them earnestly. "Tasuki is, too, aren't you, Tasuki?" A not-so-subtle hint.

"Sorry," Tasuki muttered.

Yue and Tori looked at each other, and then back at the strangers.

"It's ok. I'm sorry we dropped in like that," Tori said. He tried to brush his hair back, but couldn't.

"Oh, here." Dainty Nuriko stepped forward and grasped the chains around Tori's hands. He tugged on them, and they snapped. After doing the same to the chains on Tori's feet, Nuriko stepped back.

"Thanks." Tori looked impressed. "How'd you do that?"

"I'm a Suzaku warrior. That's my special gift," Nuriko explained.

Yue stood in front of Tori, apprehensive. "Where are we?" he asked finally. "We were in a library, then Julian turned the page of a book and we suddenly wound up here."

The Suzaku warriors exchanged startled glances.

"A book, you say?" Hotohori asked. "The name of the book wouldn't happen to be The Universe of the Four Gods, would it?"

"Yes, it was. Why?" Yue questioned.

"That means that you are from Miaka's world, don't it, Hotohori?" Tasuki asked.

"Indeed." Hotohori looked at the strangers. "But we should introduce ourselves first," he said. "My name is Hotohori. I am the Emperor of Kouna."

"I'm Nuriko," the purple-haired girl/boy said.

"Are you a boy or girl, Nuriko?" Yue asked curiously.

Nuriko giggled and winked. "My secret."

"I'm Tasuki," the fiery red-head said.

"My name is Tori," Tori finally told them.

"My name is Yue. My alternate form is Julian," Yue said.

"Are you an angel?" Hotohori asked.

"No, I'm the Guardian of the Moon in our world," Yue replied, stressing our.

The Suzaku warriors sweatdropped and looked at each other.

"The moon has a guardian?" Tasuki finally asked. He thought Yue was kinda crazy.

Tori was frowning. "But where, exactly, are we? And how do we get home from here?"

"Taiitskun wishes to meet you, no da," a high-pitched voice said. Chichiri popped into sight suddenly.

"Who are you?" Tori asked.

"Chichiri," the blue-haired monk said, beaming. Tasuki ran over to him and stood by him protectively.

Tori started to laugh.

"He's your.kare, isn't he?" he said, looking at Tasuki with laughter in his eyes. Now he understood the youth's reaction to their appearance.

"Yeah." Tasuki growled, not understanding what Tori found so funny.

Yue caught on. "You're afraid that we'll take him away from you, aren't you?" He hid a smile. "No chance there, Tasuki."

"Oh, so 'Chiri ain't good enough for ya?" challenged Tasuki.

"It's not that, Tasuki," Hotohori said, catching on how close Yue stood to Tori, and how close Tasuki stood to Chichiri. "Haven't you figured it out yet?"

Nuriko cracked up. "It's so kawaii!"

"What?" Tasuki demanded.

"Tasuki, no da." Chichiri said, looking at his lover. "Yue and Tori are together, no da."

"NANI?" Tasuki looked over at the two, who were grinning. "Prove it."

Yue and Tori grinned at each other. "Hai."

Yue leaned down towards Tori, who placed his hands around Yue's neck. Their lips met, and fiery warmth and passion soured through them. They stayed like that for over a minute as the kiss grew deeper.

"Uh." Tasuki sweatdropped.

Chichiri smiled at his lover and claimed his lips. "Why should they have all the fun, koi?"

The two couples were watched by a sweatdropped Hotohori and Nuriko.

"CHICHIRI!" Taiitskun screeched.

"DAAAAAAA!" Chichiri cried, as the kiss broke.

Yue and Tori broke the kiss and stared at Chichiri, who sweatdropped.

"Taiitskun, no da, don't frighten me like that." Chichiri looked around guiltily.
