Unspoken Love:// Act 3
A/N: Gomen! It took a long time for the next chap eh? Sorry ^^; I've been busy. Anyway hope you like it and please Review!!!
A bright light descended from the sky, shooting out from the clouds to the snowy mountains below. A feeling of warmth embracing him, Nuriko smiled. He didn't know why but someone was watching over him.
'Kourin...'
Landing, his feet pushed against the snow. Opening his eyes his first instinct was to look around. "Where am I?"
Cold wind brushing against him he shivered. "Burr! What the hell? Where is this?"
Clutching his arms together in an attempt to contain heat, Nuriko scanned the area. His eyes opening wide he let out a slight gasp. "I can't believe it...that witch! She landed me where I died? How sick is that!?"
Waving his arms at the sky, Nuriko scowled. "You're a sick, sick old woman you know that?!"
Another breeze nipping at him he soon returned to the position he was in before. "Sheesh...cranky aren't we?"
Walking around the snow he looked for any sign of the others. "I guess they left...well of coarse."
Wandering a little further he came up to some trampled snow. Following it he soon saw the huge cave and boulder that he had removed. "I don't sense their Ki anywhere...they must have already left Mt. Black...but to where?"
Frowning Nuriko started to rub his arms more vigorously as the cold started to get to him. "Wherever they went, I need to get warm soon!"
As he started to jump up and down the scroll dropped out of his pocket. 'That thing...'
Picking it up he frowned at it. "Well it brought me back but...how useful is it now?"
About to throw it away he stopped when the scroll started to emit a strange red light. "Nani?"
Bringing it down to him he looked at it closely as it pulsated in his palm. "Nani? You don't want to be garbage?"
A strong wind gushing by, the scroll flew out of his grasp as it opened up, the red light dying away after one last blast. As it gently floated to the ground Nuriko quickly grabbed it. "Wow...quite a show."
Looking at the now opened scroll his eyebrows furrowed. "What the?" On the map was a picture of what looked like a small village.
"So I'm supposed to go there? Well...alright I'm not the one who comes up with this stuff." Putting the scroll safely back into his pouch, Nuriko started to jog down the slope.
"I need to get to town and warm soon...that old bat could've at least gave me a horse!" Scowling Nuriko ran faster as snow started to topple down behind him creating a small avalanche.
"It was a joke!!!"

"If it's the only way...then I have to do it." Making up her mind, Miaka looked up dertermined. "I'll go to Nakago and...and...do it."
Taitsuken gave an evil grin as she watched the girl run from her and shouted after, "Hurry, time is running out Miaka. You must get to him before they are able to use the Shinzaho."
Transforming back to Tomo, the evil wizard laughed. "Baka, girl. Her trusting nature will be her downfall."
Running as fast as she could, through the woods, Miaka closed her eyes as tears started to slide down her face. 'I can't believe I'm doing this! But I have to or...or everything will be over! But how can I betray Tamahome like this? I love him...I can't believe I'll be giving myself to someone as evil as Nakago. The man who was behind killing Nuriko. Nuriko...'
At the thought of her lost friend, Miaka's heart clenched tightly. "I miss you..."
As his last words replayed in her mind, Miaka stopped, slumping next to a tree and falling to her knees. :Arigato:....:I'm glad:....:Wo Ai Ni:
'Wo Ai Ni...'
"Nuriko!" A new wave of tears coming forth, she barried her face in her hands, as quiet sobs took over her body. 'Nuriko...why does it hurt so much? I miss you so much, do you know? Do you know wherever you are how much I miss you? How much I wan't you to pat me on the head and tease me? How much I miss your voice and smile...how much I love you?'
Startled by her own thoughts, Miaka aburtly looked up after her last thought. 'Tha...that's right. I love him but...but...why is it the same as Tamahome? No, no I love Tamahome that way and only him. He's my...my soulmate. We were meant to be together, I love him the most!'
Hugging herself tightly, she started to hum, much as she did at Nuriko's death, before sobbing again. "But then why does it hurt so much?! Nuriko!"
*****
Jumping from his bowl of noodles, Nuriko almost cried out, as a deep feeling of sorrow suddenly washed over him. "What the hell was that?"
By now people in the resturant were giving him queer looks and he soon settled himself back down into his seat embarressed. 'Aw...but what...it felt like I died again but in bad way. So sad...who could be so sad...and confused?'
Truth dawning on him, Nuriko jumped up from his seat again and rushed out the door, to the shock of the owner. "Hey! You didnt pay!"
'Miaka! That had to be Miaka! But why is she feeling this way?' Running down the street in a sprint he jumped as he felt the scroll get warm inside his pocket. "The stupid things acting up again? Alright what now?"
Taking it out, he peered at it, as the paper once again took on a glowing red light. Soon after the shimmer faded another map of a strange location was shown. "Nani? Where the hell is that dot on the map?"
Scratching his lavender locks, Nuriko scrunched his nose in frustration. "That's in the middle of no where! Why would Miaka and the others be there? Unless...she was in trouble!"
Shoving the map back into his clothes, Nuriko quickened his pace. 'Miaka, don't worry! I'm coming for you, just wait!'
"Soon, we'll be together again..."
*****
"St...stop!" Pushing Nakago away, Miaka thrashed out at him. "Stay away from me!!!"
Smircking Nakago advanced on her again slowly. "Shh...do you see anybody here to save you now? Little girl, you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into. So trusting...so stupid. Just like your friend Yui, you were decieved so easily."
Jumping up, Miaka clenched her fists in anger. "How dare you say that! I won't let you hurt Yui and any more of my friends! I'll never forgive you for taking Nuriko away from me!"
"The gay one? Ha! And here I thought you were in love with Tamahome." Stopping his advance as he saw the girl stiffen, Nakago caught on. "But it seems I was wrong...such passionate anger in your eyes after the mention of his name."
"It...that's not it! I...I love Tamahome! I just miss Nuriko, he was like a brother to me!" Burning with anger she could feel her face blushing with heat.
"I see...you love Tamahome, yet yearn for another. What a fickle girl you are." Licking his lips, Nakago enjoyed playing with her emotions. If she really did love that cross dresser he could get Tamehome as well as the girl. 'This is like killing two birds with one stone.'
"Tsk, Tsk, what would Tamahome think? He'd be heart broken."
"Shutup! Shutup!" Holding her head now, Miaka tried to push away what he was saying. "It's not true! It's not true! I love Tamahome! Tamahome!"
Falling to her knees she callapsed into a sob. 'Why does it hurt so much...Nakago is lying, he's lying! He's doing something to me! That's why it hurts so much whenever I hear his name...He's lying!'
An evil grin appearing on his face, Nakago started at her again. 'She's shattered...so easily I broke through her wall with the mention of his name...she's arguing with her own emotions, it'll be easy to overcome her now.'
Close by Nuriko ran frantically trying to locate the strong feelings he was sensing. "Where is she damnit!? I know she's nearby, I can feel it!'
Clenching his teeth, Nuriko resumed his search. 'She's hurting so badly...I can feel her so clearly...What happened?! What's causing this enormous pain?'
Suddenly he heard a loud shriek from a few feet away. "Miaka!"
In the tent Nakago had finally got her pinned under him as he kept her down. "Now you annoyance...I'll be rid of you soon."
"No! No! Stop please!" Tears running down her face, Miaka thrashed her face from side to side, as she felt Nakago's hot breath on her face. 'Not like this! Not like this! Please no...please help me...Nuriko!'
"GET OFF HER YOU BASTARD!" Nuriko fumed with anger as he burst through the tent and found them. "How dare you do this to Miaka!"
Lunging at a surprised Nakago, he tackled him to the ground, as Miaka scrambled away in terror and almost fainting as she saw her hero. "Nuriko!"
Looking at the face of her seishi, Miaka started to cry tears of joy, without knowing. 'Nuriko, Nuriko, Nuriko!'
On the ground Nuriko was punching Nakago with such fury you could see red ki radiating from his body. "I'll never forgive you for causing her such pain!"
Getting over the initial shock of seeing the dead seishi to be very much alive, Nakago pushed him off, jumping away from them both in a blast of blue light. "So you came back to life? I don't know how you did this feat but you'll be dead again soon enough."
Generating a large ball of energy in his hand, Nakago smircked, watching Nuriko. "So you came to save your stupid miko did you? Ha! You wasted your time. She's not worth anybodies time, much less care."
Nuriko growled as Nakago's smile grew. "Do you actually care for this slut of a girl? You do know she came willingly to me, and threw herself at me?"
Nuriko's eyes flickered in disbelief but he stayed steadfast in his position as Nakago frowned. "You don't believe me eh? This worthless girl is that important to you? She's no more important then you are in the picture! Seriyuu will be summoned and you and that baka miko will be obliterated! Good riddance I'd say since she can't even seduce a man properly."
Nuriko's anger grew and Nakago's attention suddenly flickered towards Miaka. "Isn't that right Miaka? You're such an ignorant fool that your bestfriend even want's you dead. Your friends get hurt and you can't even decide who you love! You're worthless to everybody and when I kill you after your boyfriend, it'll be better for everyone."
Hearing this Miaka sunk to her knees, as if every word was another blow to the heart. "It's not true..."
"That's not true!!!" A bright red flame of Ki radiating from his body, Nuriko glared as his symbol glowed furiously. "How dare you speak to Suzaku's miko like that! She is who brought us together and is the only hope from stopping you destroy this world! But not only that Miaka's is our friend and I love her! She's the one who makes us smile, laugh, cry, learn. It's all because of her! Without Miaka I wouldn't be the man I am right now and I'll never forgive you for hurting her! Her pain is mine and for that you will pay!"
Watching him from a distance Miaka's heart jumped at every word and her breathing became shallow. 'Nuriko...I...I...'
***
From a village nearby, Soi jumped as she felt a cold wave go through her heart. 'Nakago...Nakago-sama is in trouble!'
***
Eyes, glowing a deep red and his sign changing to the symbol 'Tenshi,' Nuriko brought his hands together and a bright glow started to form at a quickening pace. The huge mass of energy in his hands he looked at Nakago's shocked face as he suddenly flung the ki energy at him.
Not being able to block the huge amount of energy, Nakago took the hit, staggering and holding his numb shoulder as it passed. "You...you...how did you do that?"
Eyes slowly becoming their usual violet color, Nuriko glared at him, Tenshi symbol still glowing. "I will never forgive you for the pain you've caused Miaka."
Trying to get up, Nakago slunk back to the ground, too battered to teleport. "I have not been beaten yet. Seriyuu will be summoned!"
"Nakago!" Teleporting beside him, Soi appeared, a shocked look on her face. Picking him up she helped him up, glaring at the two enemies with fury in her eyes.
Struggling to stand Nakago nodded to Soi before turning back to Nuriko one last time. "We will end this another time Nuriko." Looking at Miaka then back to Nuriko he also smircked.
"And before I go, let me enlighten you. You might wan't to talk to Miaka when I'm gone, since YOU were the one who caused her such pain." With that he was gone.
Confused and startled Nuriko turned to Miaka as she rushed into his arms crying. 'Miaka...'
"Nuriko! Nuriko! Nuriko!" Sobbing into his chest she clutched into him, like she was afriad he'd disappear. "Nuriko!!!"
"Miaka..." Pulling her close to him, Nuriko gently rubbed her back as the girl cried. 'Please stop crying...'
Like she had heard him, Miaka suddenly stopped her sobs. But as Nuriko looked down he saw that his miko had fainted in exaughstion. "Sweet Dreams."
