Yuuki was standing in the middle of his grand ballroom. "Welcome
Gentleman, and all your ladies. I hope you all enjoy yourselves and have a
good time. The musicians have selected some great pieces to play tonight.
Thank you all for coming to my party." He took Lady Yuuki's hand and began
dancing with her. Miaka walked over to the table and began to eat. As
Tamahome walked closer to the table, he saw her. He was overwhelmed by her
immense beauty. He looked over to a simple servant and asked him
"Who is that beautiful girl by the table?"
"I don't know sir…" The servant said quickly
"She is the one. The one who teaches the torches to shine bright, the beautiful girl who makes the starts shine at night. Oh…Did I ever love anyone until this moment? I have never seen someone so beautiful…" Nakago was standing just a few feet away from Tamahome while he was talking and whispered to his Uncle Yuuki.
"Look, there is a Kishuku here. He has certainly come to ruin our fine party!" Nakago gave Tamahome the eyes of death.
"Is it young Tamahome?" Yuuki asked.
"Yes. It's that dirty piece of trash, Tamahome." Nakago practically spat as he said Tamahome's name
"I have heard in the streets of Konan that he is a fine man. Leave him alone, Nakago. He won't hurt anything." Yuuki said calmly
"I won't allow it." Nakago said
"You will allow it." Yuuki said sternly. "I am the master here, not you. I won't let you draw attention to this and ruin my party."
"But, he is our enemy.." Nakago started, but was quickly cut off
"Who do you think you are?" Yuuki's voice turned into a soft, but very stern whisper. "If you cause any trouble at all with Tamahome, I will kick you out of this house, do you understand?" Yuuki left Nakago, and returned to the party.
"Tamahome…everything seems great now, but just you wait. All this happiness will soon turn into misery." Nakago also left and returned to what he was doing.
Meanwhile, Tamahome had made his way closer to the table towards Miaka and he picked up her hand "If my hands are unworthy of touching you… I am ready to soothe the rough touch with love's tender kiss…"
"You think your hands did something wrong?" Miaka smiled at him "There is nothing better…it shows devotion."
"Then…let my lips do what my hands do." Tamahome kissed Miaka's lips very softly and tenderly. Just as they began to pull away, Nurse Yui came over to Miaka.
"Miaka, your mother needs to speak with you." Nurse Yui informed her. Miaka made a face, and slowly walked away from Tamahome.
"Hey…who is Miaka's mother?" Tamahome whispered softly to Nurse Yui.
"Her mother is the lady of the house. Lady Yuuki. I am her attendant, and friend, Yui." She said.
"What? You mean…she's a Yuuki? Why does that have to be?" Tamahome's face faulted. Chiriko came over to Tamahome.
"Let's get out of here…" Chiriko slowly started to pull Tamahome away.
"Miaka…" Tamahome whispered as he was dragged outside. Miaka called Yui over to her.
"Yui! Who is that guy that I was just talking to a little while ago?" Miaka said with a glimmer in her eyes. Nurse Yui sighed heavily.
"He is Tamahome Kishuku. The only son of your family's great enemy." Nurse Yui said.
"What?" Miaka said "The person that I love is the one I'm destined to hate? Why didn't I know this earlier?" Miaka looked at the ground. "Now it's too late to hate him, because I am in love with him."
"Who is that beautiful girl by the table?"
"I don't know sir…" The servant said quickly
"She is the one. The one who teaches the torches to shine bright, the beautiful girl who makes the starts shine at night. Oh…Did I ever love anyone until this moment?
