EP#1: TWO YEARS OF SEPARATE LIVING..
--------------------------------------------------------------

It was a rainy Friday in the land of Konan. The three of the Suzaku seishi sat on the riverbank, Chichiri busy with his fishing, Nuriko and Tasuki glaring at the blue sky with boredom, silence was all there was.
It has been six long months since the summoning of the sacred beasts to seal the evil deity Tenko. The warriors were back to their normal selves again, though some of them were separated between the two worlds.

"It feels like the world's dead, doesn't it?"Nuriko uttered, breaking the silence between the three. Tasuki turned to face the mighty seishi of Suzaku, who was once a cross-dresser.
"Yeah! I just think if we could go on another journey like finding the lost Shinzaho, then I wouldn't have to bust my ass 'ere sitting while that darn monk's enjoying 'imself!"he babbled.
"Nah! I hate to be dead again. Besides, the sight of people being in danger aint that cool,"Nuriko muttered while adjusting his position from falling into the river.
"WAAA!! I wish that darn money-grubbing gay was alive so that I could entertain myself by flaming 'im!"Tasuki stood up quickly, playing by himself with his tessen, waving it around like a mad man. Nuriko look strangely at Tasuki.
Bound by the topic Tasuki brought up, Nuriko sat still, his head collecting the memories he had when the Suzaku no Miko was with them, and Tamahome, too. But the seventeen year old Tamahome who died in the city of Tokyo trying to save everyone, was the one he and Tasuki wanted to see once again.
He recalled the clumsiness of Miaka, how she would trip abruptly and the way she eats like..better not bring this up..but it was indeed entertaining to laugh at her. Her sillyness was an enetertainment, alright, but usually it brought danger.
I wonder..will my happy moments come back? he thought...

"You miss 'im, ne? I do too..but he's dead and reborn as a different guy now. There's nothing you can do to flame the old money-grubber we once knew,"said Nuriko, in a tone so slow and soft, almost like a whisper..
"Whom ya once kissed!! HAHAHA!!"screamed Tasuki. Nuriko was red and tried to explain to Tasuki what really happened while 'rock-bottoming' him to the ground. Tasuki on the other hand, understood the action and surrendered before he himself gets 'reborn'.

*********

In the real world, Miaka and her friend Yui were walking home from school after their Home Economics extra class. Miaka wasn't feeling very well. Her heart stopped beating for about two to four seconds or so the entire day. She didn't take it seriously though, until Yui approached her about her strange behavior.
"I guess I'm being kinda emotional about minna in Konan. But I do have strange dreams at night,"she said as they walked pass by rows of houses on their way home.
"About what?"Yui interrupted. She was so eager to know, if Miaka's dreams were, by any chance, a resemblance to her's.
"Suzaku. He was very angry, as if,"
"He was fighting something like, Seiryuu?!"interrupted Yui. She was serious now, still clueless of what to do. Unconsciously their feet brought them straight into a Chinese restaurant by the name of Ryuken.
"Yes! How'd you know that?"asked Miaka. They were seated in a traditional Japanese garden inside the restaurant. After ordering something to munch, Yui replied.
"I dreamt of the same darn thing! I mean, Suzaku was like, trying to protect, or take something from Seiryuu. It was scary! I woke up screaming until my mom woke up checking on me for three days now. What was that about, anyway?"
"Funny. But I can't possibly call out for Taiitsukun now cuz..cuzz..I lost the book!"jerked Miaka panically, and at the same time Yui choked and she was about to burst her soda at Miaka. But then Miaka'll probably open her mouth to rip and swallow the soda anyway! ^.^
"Uhuk! Uhuk! You actually said what?!!"asked a familiar voice behind the wall cover. It was Keisuke, Tetsuya and Taka at another table in the restaurant. Keisuke, Miaka's brother sprayed his water onto Tetsuya's face in shock.
"ONIICHAN!! TAKA!!"screamed Miaka. Taka made a 'peace' sign being noticed. He just smiled innocently. note:Taka here tends to forget about everything except Miaka! *.*
"She..she..she..MO DAME DA!!"uttered Keisuke who wanted to cry.
Yui was still in her state of shock, but managed to mutter "Ahou!" Their 'friendly' time there was spend with Tetsuya explaining things to Taka, who *ehem,cough* forgot about everything, Keisuke and Yui choking Miaka nearly to her death.
"OK! So the book's lost, ne? We'll just have to find it then!"said Taka after a crash-memory course by Tetsuya. Everyone looked at him 'demonishly'.
"How'd the book get lost, anyway?"interrogated Yui, munching some sesame balls, the restaurant's speciality. Keisuke, Tetsuya and Taka moved to Yui and Miaka's place, with their food and all.
"Anou..hmm..I put it somewhere I usually did, uhn, on the table, I guess. At one moment, late at night I dreamt of Suzaku and Seiryuu fighting, and the book inside the dream. It just vanished!"she said. Everyone was astonished, but not Yui. She explained about their dream, and Keisuke and Tetsuya volunteered to help.

********************

As if one trouble wasn't enough, Taiitsukun appeared late at night waking everyone in the palace up. Hotohori had to explain to the workers and the guards in the palace why Tasuki screamed *he picked up Tama's phobia of Taiitsukun* and told them to continue sleeping. Tasuki, flabbergasted, hid behind Nuriko all the while Taiitsukun was there.
"I'm afraid all of you will have to go to Mt. Taikyoku now. I need to show you something that is far beyond your, and my comprehension as well,"*she* said. "The Suzaku no Miko and Sukunami Taka will join us."
A sudden joy potrayed by the broad smile plastered on the seven seishi's faces struck. They will be together again!
