Chapter 3: The Reality of Changed Lives
"So, that's basically it," summed up Komyosa. "If my brother here wasn't such a baka," she said as she jokingly nudged him in the ribs, "this would've never happened."
Ano Kotae blushed bright red. "I am...truly sorry Kanshisa-sama. Please forgive me."
Kanshisha smiled. "Baka," she said lovingly. "I already told you at least ten times that I forgive you. It was my fault, anyways, for jumping to conclusions like that..." She looked down at her hands that rested limp in her lap.
"No," Ano Kotae begun. "It was..."
"Can we PLEASE stop this!..." Komyosa yelled as she nearly ripped out a chunk of her own hair, she was pulling on it so hard. "So guys are going to drive me insane!...'No, it's my fault, please forgive me all-high-and- mighty Suzaku no Miko!' 'But my dearest Seishi, I am the only one to blame.'" She said, getting up from her seat on the side of Komyosa's bed, and acting out the entire scene with herself.
Fuyu nearly fell over laughing, while Kanshisa and Ano Kotae blushed a deep shade of scarlet. Komyosa could barely stand afterwards when she was done, her straight mouth twitching first at the corners, and then bursting out in a full fledged laugh.
"But...anyways..." Fuyu said, being the first one to gain back her breath after the spell of laughter. "Welcome, Suzaku no Miko, to our humble abode!" she said, making a welcoming motion with her hands.
"Well...kind-of, anyways," Komyosa said as she looked at their bleak surroundings. "Aw, don't worry about it, anyways. You'll get used to it. It's not so bad..."
Then they all looked at her to see what her reaction would be, but all they got was a look of confusion.
"Wait....What's a 'Suzaku no Miko?'" With that, everyone who was standing fell over.
Komyosa was the first to recover, pulling herself up onto the side of the bed, resting her shin on the matress. "You mean...you really don't know?"
Kanshisa shook her head.
"Oh boy," Fuyu said, tossing her braid back over her shoulder since it had fallen into her face when she fell. "This might take a while."
"You mean we just explained everything to you about what was going on, and you don't even know who you are!?" Komyosa exploded.
Kanshisa shrunk back a little. "Ah...Oops?"
"Oh, gods," she said as she leaned back on the side of the bed. "Suzaku help us."
"Okay," she said, turning around, resting her head on her arms, leaning onto the matress. "You, Kanshisa, are the Suzaku no Miko. You were sent here from another world to help bring Kotou and Konan back to peaceful times."
"And we are your Seishi," said Ano Kotae.
"Put here to help you with your mission," added Fuyu.
Kanshisa looked a little dazed.
"I think we might had over-loaded her," said Ano Kotae.
Komyosa waved her hand in front of the girl's face. "Hello-o..."
Kanshisa blinked and shook her head. "Huh?..Wha?...Ah-I'm okay...It's just that...Uh..Wow?"
"It's okay, " Fuyu said with a smile. "You'll accept it as reality sooner or later."
"Even if you did have the choice," said Komyosa.
"What do you mean?" Kanshisa asked, startled.
"Well, you're not goinh to leave us, are you? Kotou has been trying to blast us into oblivion, and...Err...I hate to say this, but you're our last hope."
Kanshisa took a very audible gulp.
"Don't worry about it," said Ano Kotae, flashing her a friendly smile. "Now that you're here everything is going to be all right." 'I hope...really hope.'
"So..Like I said before," began Komyosa. "My Seishi name is Tamahome."
"And mine's Nuriko," Fuyu said with a smile.
"And I'm Tasuki," Ano Kotae said with a grin.
Kanshisa looked at them, confusion spreading across her face.
"But you can just call us by our original names, if that would confuse you less," said Ano Kotae.
"Yeah, I like it better that way, anyways," said Komyosa. "Something about the name 'Tamahome' just doesn't seem to settle right as a girl's name." She shrugged her shoulders. "Oh well."
Mottekuru grinned to himself and had to keep stifling his laughter. These stupid Seishi had just told him all of their plans, and now he even knew where their hideout was, and, most of all, just how weak and naive their treasured Miko was. He looked at them from the shadows and sneered, before slipping through the doorway like a slient shadow.

By the time Dokan had finished his story, Hogosha's jaw was nearly touching the floor.
"Wait a second...You're meaning to tell me that I'm the PRIESTESS of this Seiryu god?!"
"Well, Priest, I guess. We were expecting someone who was female, but you will do just fine," he said with a smile.
Hogosha leaned his head back on the door and looked up at the straw thatched ceiling. He sighed and then looked back at the young man who was sitting across from him.
"So," Hogosha said. "What do we do now?"
Dokan's smile grew. "Off to the capital, of course. We need you right now. We already have four Seishi, other than myself, but we need your help in finding the other two."
Hogosha nodded. "Okay, fine."
"Good. Let's get going," Dokan said as he looked out the window to make sure the tiger was gone, and then un barred the door. 'I can only hope that their reaction won't surpass mine. Imagine...A Seiryu no SAISHI...I guess in these times of change and turmoil, all sorts of odd things are going to happen...Oh well...All I can say is...' "May Seiryu help us," Dokan mumbled to himself.
"What was that?" asked Hogosha.
Dokan looked at him and shook his head. "Nothing. It was nothing. Come on, let's go."
Hogosha shrugged his shoulders and followed Dokan out the door, closing it shut behind him. "Okay, suit yourself."
"What?" Dokan looked at him and blinked.
Now it was Hogosha's turn. "Never mind. Just keep leading the way."
"As you wish Seiryu no Miko....Err...Seiryu no Saishi...As you wish."
