"Hotohori-sama I'm going to leave for Taiisukun's now no da." Chichiri noticed the troubled look on hotohori's face. "Hotohori-sama what's wrong no da…it's about Raiye." He said taking off his mask.
"Yes. Nuriko said that she is also suzaku warrior, but there are only 7 warriors. I'm scared that the legend may be true once more." He let out a heavy sigh.
"I think your right no da." Chichiri vanished into his hat.
Nuriko stood outside of Raiye's door. Raiye still hadn't woken up yet. His miko was walking down the hallway with her beloved Tamahome. Miaka and Tamahome saw the bewildered and worried expression on his face. The two looked at each other and thought that they needed to cheer him up. Tamahome tried to punch Nuriko in the head but he easily ducked. Tamahome looked at Nuriko with amazment.
"Wow! Nuriko how did you know I was coming?" he asked scratching the back of his head.
"I felt you coming you need to work on a more sneaky way to approach Tama." Nuriko stood up straight and looked at Tamahome with a calm and serious face. Tamahome became slightly annoyed with his calm friend. ' What in the…? How could he do that he wasn't that skilled before. Well maybe it has something to do with that Raiye girl.' Tamahome looked for his girlfriend/miko and couldn't find her. He then saw her standing in front of her seishi Nuriko.
"Nuriko-niichan what's wrong? I've never seen you so serious before." She looked very concerned.
"Ne… Miaka-chan has Chiriko ever told you a legend about Byzaenyu? When all 4 beast gods merge together to create a creature of destruction?" he said looking dead even with Miaka. His face dreaded and was pained.
"Ie…demo…I thought the gods were just to grant the wishes of the miko." She said looking to her right and seeing Taiisukun floating towards her along with the rest of the seishi.
"Nuriko I believe you are right. The legend is going to be fulfilled." The old woman said with an even tone. Nuriko turned his back on the woman. " Allow me to explain. As you know there are the 4 beast gods: Suzaku, Seiryu, Genbu, and Byakku. Their main purpose is to grant their miko's wishes." The old woman let out a sigh. Then began to explain the legend.
' A demon king named Bakoji, envied the beast god's power. He wanted to be as powerful they were or even stronger but their was a flaw in his heart. He had "fallen in love" for the miko of Byakku but it was false. He used her to get the pure blood of which her body held. He drank blood from all the priestess' and used their powers to summon all the beast gods at one time. He used his demonic powers to merge himself with the ALL the beast gods…creating Byzaenyu the god of ULTIMATE Destruction.'
"Well what hell happened to the seishis didn't they do anything to stop that goddamned thing?!!" Tasuki shouted with anger. Chiriko took a step forward.
"Hai…demo…that wasn't enough all of the Stars joined: Suzaku, Genbu, Seiryu, and Byakku…the all failed. The inner power was unable to succeed alone…they needed the power of the Outer Stars: 'Raiye'of Suzaku, 'Kinino'of Genbu, 'Takishi'of Seiryu, and 'Sakura'of Byakku. They defeated and sealed Bakoji away…but in order to maintain the balance and to seal him away…they had give their lives…And the demon we saw served Bakoji. " Chiriko sounded upset. There was silence till Chichiri spoke.
" We should have somebody keep watch on Miaka-chan and Raiye-chan no da. Tamahome you watch over Miaka-chan. And …Nuriko you watch Raiye-chan no da." The normally smiling seishi had a pained look upon his face. 'We all just met her and so soon she has to give up her life…Damn Evil. We must protect both of them…and Nuriko must get his act together.' Chichiri sighed.
Raiye was awake and heard everything. She chuckled sitting on her window ledge her 'character' shining brightly, head in her arms,eyes closed deep in though. 'Tsk, really I'm to help save everyone …I came here just to die. I can feel my power returning slowly, very slowly and I suppose that this 'Bakoji' will summon very soon seeing as it will take awhile till I'm back to normal. He merged with the beast god to create a beast of destruction…guess that's what that vision meant …me in my past life fighting with Byzaenyu.' She heard the door open, but didn't open her eyes. "Nuriko. I'm leaving. I want to thank you for everything." She lifted her head with a face, which held no emotion. She moved from her ledge and picked up her bag, moved a step forward only to be stopped.
"No, I don't think so. I know you just heard how much of a 'key' player you are." The young man looked into her eyes. ' I can see how confused she is. And why is my heart racing. She is so beautiful. I could fall in love with a person like this…Agggh what am I thinking?!' Raiye saw that he was lost in thought so tried to pass him.
"Nuriko, I really appreciate what you and Miaka-chan did for me but I have to leave. I'll just kill this demon before he can do anything. " she said in a cold harsh tone. 'why does he have to look at me like that?… I feel …so helpless…damnit!'
"You know you are in no condition to be fighting and by yourself! We have to wait till your strength is up. Then we will continue." He yelled but calmed when he looked and saw the tears in her eyes; the unwanted tears, they ashamed her. "Raiye I-" he started, until the young girl's arms wrapped around his waist, clinging to him desperately, and the tears soaking though his cloths. He hesitantly put his arms around her feeling a strange comfort in the close contact. He whispered comforting sounds into her ear to calm her.
"Nuriko?" Raiyes voice finally spoke softly and muffled against his clothes.
"Ne?"
"Gomen. I'm sorry for being such a fool. And I would like to thank you once more." She was tired, so parted their 'scene' they just had. She had no clue that Nuriko had fallen in love with her. Yes it was clear to him that he loved her, at that moment of tenderness. "Goodnight." She directed him to the door. He left the room and stood guard for the whole night, not entirely ticked that he wouldn't sleep. He has a new meaning in life. Sure he had to protect his miko, but to protect one he loved more than anything…anything.
'I will protect her with all my strength. Wo ai ni Raiye.'
