Chapter 6
Miaka and Tamahome made their way down the hall slowly. It was mid- morning so they figured everyone was in the dining hall. It took them a while to find it, but eventually they came upon their destination. Miaka pushed open the door and slowly they entered the room. Upon hearing the door open, all occupants in the dining hall turned their gaze to the doorway. When they saw Miaka and Tamahome standing there the three Suzaku Seven quickly left their seats to greet and assist their friends.
"Tamahome, you're finally awake! Geez took you long enough and worried Miaka so much that she didn't even eat. I didn't think that was possible," Nuriko said scolding Tamahome, but then he smiled, "Still it's great to have you back."
"Are you two hungry?" Chichiri asked.
At the sound of food Miaka's stomach grumbled. Everyone just laughed a slight blush crept up into Miaka's cheeks.
"I guess that's your answer for you," Tamahome answered with a smile.
Miaka helped Tamahome to a seat and then took a seat herself right across from him. Seeing the food in front of her made her even hungrier. She then realized how long she had gone without food. Instantly she piled her plate and began inhaling the food.
"Damn Miaka can you eat any faster? Are you even tasting the food?" Tasuki asked with a look of shock on his face. He had seen Miaka eat before, but not like this.
Miaka swallowed what was in her mouth and answered Tasuki by saying, "Ya, I taste it and it tastes great!"
With that Miaka began stuffing her face again. Everyone just sighed and tried finishing their meals. After about 5 more minutes of filling her face with food Miaka was finally done.
"Yummmmmmmmm! That was great!" Miaka exclaimed.
"By the way, Tamahome as soon as you feel you're ready we need to return to Konan," Chichiri stated.
"I think I'll be fine today. Why has Hotohori already paced a hole into the floor?" Tamahome answered.
His comment made everyone laugh.
"I shall get some medicine that will help you two regain your strength. I will be right back," Taiitsukun said as she turned and left the room.
"I'll go inform Hotohori-sama that we will be returning today," Chichiri answered.
"I'll go with you," Tasuki stated.
With that the two of them left the room. Nuriko turned to the couple.
"You two should freshen up before we leave. We'll most likely be leaving before sunset so you might want to get a move on," Nuriko said as he left the room as well.
Miaka looked at Tamahome.
"He's right. I help you back to your room and then I'll go change into a new set of clothes," Miaka said as she stood up and made her way over to Tamahome.
Tamahome had managed to stand by himself, but was still having a little trouble walking so Miaka lent him her shoulder. He gave her a look saying "thank you" and then they continued to his room. Once they had arrived at his room Miaka grabbed a change of clothes for him and handed them to him. Then she left to let him change and to change into some new clothes herself. Miaka changed into a light pink kimono (sp?) with little blue flowers on it and then brushed out her hair before she redid it up into her usual hair style. She exited her room with a smile on her face. She gave Tamahome a couple more to change before she went to check to see if he was done. On her way to his room she passed Nuriko.
"We're leaving in an hour so make sure you two are ready. Meet us in the main room in an hour," Nuriko said as he passed by her on his way to talk to Tasuki.
Miaka nodded and then proceeded to Tamahome's room. When she got there she knocked on his door and said, "Tamahome are you done yet?"
There was a noise from inside the room and then the door slowly opened. Tamahome stood in the doorway breathing a little heavier than normal. He stood in his normal outfit, but this one was clean.
"Yes, I'm ready," he answered.
"You know you should take it easy for a while," Miaka told him as she walked over and put his arm over her shoulder, "Come on we're leaving to return to Konan in an hour."
Tamahome nodded and then started their journey through Taiitsukun's house. It took them about 45 minutes to get to the main hall because first they had gotten lost and second was Tamahome was still a little weak. When they arrived in the main hall everyone was waiting there for them.
"Geez, it took you two long enough. Did you get lost or something?" Tasuki asked them.
Miaka and Tamahome just sweat dropped.
"It's almost time to leave. Is everyone ready?" Chichiri asked.
Everyone nodded. Miaka looked to Tamahome and ask, " Will you be okay if I go thank Taiitsukun really quick?"
"Do you think I'm going to die or something if you let me stand by myself? I'll be fine don't worry," Tamahome answered.
Miaka left his side and walked up to Taiitsukun.
"Arigato Taiitsukun. I don't know what would have happened to me without your help," Miaka said as she bowed.
"It was no problem. Just be a little bit more careful Miaka. There are many others out there like Kina so don't let your guard down," Taiitsukun stated.
"I will. Thanks again Taiitsukun," Miaka said as Chichiri yelled that it was time to go.
Miaka ran back to Tamahome's side and helped him over to Chichiri and the others. They all said their farewells to Taiitsukun and then they disappeared into Chichiri's hat.
***Konan's Palace***
Hotohori stood pacing around the throne room again. They were due back any minute. A hat appeared on the ground and within a minute four of the Suzaku Seven and the priestess of Suzaku appeared from out of the hat. Once everyone had made it through Chichiri picked his hat up and placed it around his neck.
"Hello Hotohori-sama," Chichiri greeted.
Hotohori was glad that everyone was alright at least by what he could see.
"So you're all alright?" Hotohori asked.
"Yep, the only one that's having difficulty is Tamahome, but that's because he's still weak from helping me," Miaka said.
"That's good. Miaka why don't you take Tamahome to his room so he may rest," Hotohori stated.
Miaka nodded and led Tamahome out of the room and around the palace until they arrived at his room. Tamahome pushed open the door and they entered the room. Miaka led Tamahome over to his bed and let him sit down.
"Thank you Miaka," Tamahome said as he regained his breath.
"No problem. Are you sure you're okay though?" Miaka asked staring into his eyes.
Tamahome nodded and leaned forward closing the gap between them and kissed her on the lips. Miaka was surprised at first, but then relaxed into the kiss. It was light and soft, but she didn't care. Tamahome pulled away slowly from her.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine as long as you're okay Miaka," Tamahome said with a smile.
Miaka smiled and nodded as tears of happiness ran down her cheeks. Tamahome lifted his hand to her face and gently cleared the tears from her face.
"I love you Miaka with all my heart and soul."
"And I love you Tamahome with all of my heart and soul," Miaka said.
Then the two lovers leaned forward to share another kiss as they promised to never let each go.
