Chapter 2
Nakago stared with unguarded interest at the pretty goddess before him. Her chi was extremely powerful. He watched in amusement as she blasted off his soldiers back. Coming closer riding his horse, the guards parted for him. The woman looked at him with anger and tried to hit him with her energy. Nakago used his shield and it absorbed her attack. The girl narrowed her eyes.
"What is it? What is it you want this time? You've gone too far involving my sister! Your fight is with me." Serena said scowling at the stranger before her. "Who has come back this time? Is it Beryl? Chaos? Or is it a new enemy?" Serena spat out.
A cold smile formed at Nakago's mouth. He held out a hand to her. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but we are merely looking for our priestess. We have no intention of hurting you nor are we held responsible for your sister being here." Nakago drawled.
"Am I supposed to believe you?" Serena asked skeptical. "Given my past record it's either you desire the crystal, my annihilation or both." She muttered. Nakago took his hand back and smiled frostily. "Maybe you don't have a choice. Seeing you helpless on the ground." He said smirking.
Serena seethed. "Believe me, I can still do a lot of damage." She said darkly. "Perhaps you can, but if you really want us to leave, then we will. "But see those guys?" Nakago pointed to the 2 men who were waking up, that tried to hit on her and Yui earlier. "I know for a fact that they still have lots of friends who's willing to come back and go for someone like you. Here all alone by yourself, you can't handle them all alone." Nakago pointed out.
"Your point is?" Serena asked impatiently still annoyed that she's still on the ground and is looking up to him. "We'd like you to come with us, and when you do you'll have my protection and the army as well, we can even help you to look for your sister that ran away." Nakago said smoothly. "I guess if you people aren't really dangerous, It was stupid of me to let Yui run off alone with no place to go." Serena said softly. "But what would you want to do with me?" Serena asked warily.
"We just want to ask a few questions, if you are our Maiden of Seiryuu or not." Nakago replied shrugging. "And if I'm not, you'll just let me go?" Serena asked doubtfully. "Just like that?" she added slowly. Nakago nodded assuring her. "So you'll come with us without any resistance?" Nakago asked her triumphant that he got her to agree. Reaching out a hand to her again Serena nodded reluctantly.
She accepted his held out hand. Expecting to be pulled up roughly. She was surprised when he went down from his horse and picked her up gently. He placed her on top of his horse first before he mounted up too. Grabbing the reins Nakago signaled for his men to get going. "Can I really trust them? Yui please be okay." Serena thought worried as they started to go back to the palace.

Yui ran to nowhere. She stopped to catch her breath and found herself lost in a forest. She walked blindly and found herself walking in circles. She finally gave up and sat down exhausted. She took a deep breath taking in her surroundings more clearly. There was a gust of wind making Yui's hair blow. She held herself for a moment a bit cold since sunset is nearing.
"What's that? Yui thought nervous as she heard a rustle of leaves. She felt someone or something watching her. She took a step back and leaned against the bark of the tree and swallowed nervously, her heart beating wildly in her chest.
In the shadows a pair of eyes gleamed. Yui shook when she heard a growl. Yui waited eyes stricken and the seconds seemed to last forever as Yui waited with dread. And then sprang a black panther growling dangerously. Yui's shoulders shook in fright. She clenched her eyes closed tightly, that tears formed at the corners of her eyes.
She heard the panther's roar and felt it leap. Yui put her hands in front of her face in a last attempt of defense. She waited for the animal's attack and the enormous pain that she should be experiencing now before her death when she felt nothing.
She opened her eyes and saw a handsome man. He was fighting the panther with ease and was winning. After the animal was taken care of. The guy turned to look at her.Yui blushed a bit at the stranger's stare and felt her heart beating furiously although not in fright this time.
"Th…Thank you." Yui said bowing gratefully. The guy shrugged. "You could thank me better if you pay me with money." The guy said easily. "Huh?" Yui though confused. Well… I guess I do have some. Yui mumbled a bit surprised.
As Yui was fishing out money from her pocket, the guy studied her intently. Yui looked up when she felt the guy's intent stare that was making her uncomfortable. "Is something wrong?" She asked uncertain. "Oh it's nothing, it's just that your clothes are the same as the other girl." The guy said lightly.
"What other girl?" Yuui demanded. "Is her name Miaka?" Yui asked controlling herself.
"Then you must be Yui, Lucky you…I guess you don't have to pay me anymore." The guy said solemnly. "My name's Tamahome…You can call me that." He said starting to walk away.
"Hey wait! Where's Miaka?" Yui asked running after him and looking around. "Oh Miaka's in the palace." Tamahame said casually. "What's she doing there?" Yui asked looking at him curiously. "Something about being the maiden of Suzaku." Tamahome answered. Yui grabbed his arm. "Can you take me to the palace, where Miaka is?" Yui asked with hopeful and desperate eyes. Tamahome looked intensely at her eyes for a moment before nodding reluctantly.
"I guess it's no trouble, Miaka's looking for you too, and I'm heading back there anyway." Tamahome said thoughtfully. "Thank you so much." Yui replied bowing. "Sister I hope that you're alright, I'll get help, I promise." Yui thought determined.
