SCHOOL IS OFFICIALLY OVER!!! YAY! Summer vacations start NOW! Cept...I'm not really going anywhere am I? **looks over at dad**
Me: Can we go on a vacation?
Dad: No
Me: Why?
Dad: Costs too much
Me: But...please?
Dad: No!
See, I'm poor! Don't sue me Watase-san! You know that you own your stuff and I don't! So don't think that I do!
"M-Miaka?" I said slinking back into Mokoto. I thought of what Jiyuuiki had been saying. She didn't seem to like anyone of these people. But…I had just met Jiyuuiki. Should I really trust her? I looked back at Mokoto. I could trust Mokoto.
"W-well," Mokoto smiled uneasily clapping her hands together in an attempt to break the silence, "First impressions are always wrong anyway. We're happy to meet you Miaka."
"…And who are you?" Miaka asked.
"I'm Miyahara Kumiko," I said sticking my hand out to Miaka.
Miaka shook my hand warmly.
"And I'm Miyahara Mokoto," Mokoto said as she stood up and bowed to Miaka, "It's our first time to Konan. We're from Nyosei. We're very sorry if we startled you."
Mokoto is always so polite. I wished I could be more like her and less blunt…
"Welcome to Konan," a man with long brown hair said walking up next to Miaka smiled down at us. He was incredibly handsome.
"Oh, arigatou gozaimasu!" Mokoto smiled bowing again.
"I am the emperor of the Konan Empire," the brown haired man smiled warmly, "But you may call me Hotohori."
"Nice to meet you Hotohori!" I jumped excitedly, "Konan is wonderful so far! I'm really enjoying this trip we took!"
"Hmm," the blonde haired man contemplated, "I do feel the energy of Seiryuu on you."
"And I feel Suzaku all over you too, no da!" a blue haired man with a cat like face said popping in front of me.
"W-wai…sugoi, sugoi…" I cried pinching the cat man's cheeks, "You are too kawaii!" (1. Wai- form of expressing happiness. Doesn't really mean anything, 2. Sugoi- Cool!, 3. Kawaii- cuteeee!)
The blue haired cat man blushed and smiled widely, "I'm Chichiri, one of the Suzaku seishi."
"I'm Nakago the general of the Kutou Empire of Seiryuu," the blonde haired man said walking back to his group, "I will consult the Priestess of Seiryuu, Yui Hongo, with your arrival and what we should do. I am not sure I believe all of this."
My heart almost went with the blonde man. I felt the biggest connection with the group that he was walking back to, the group with the blue auras.
"Have you decided what we should do?" Hotohori asked Miaka, "Should we trust this information?"
Miaka smiled at me, "I know it's the truth. I can feel the pull to her, it's small, but I can feel it."
"Um…" I blushed, "So you are one of my mothers?"
"That is what that woman said," Miaka said and she crossed her arms, "And I think that's true too."
"…Is Tamahome that guy who glared at the short blond haired girl with the blue aura over by Nakago?" I asked, pointing at the man with dark hair and the demon character on his forehead.
"Yes, this is Tamahome," Miaka smiled lovingly at him.
He came up to her and wrapped his arms around her and glanced at me, "I don't know about her Miaka…"
"Don't worry Tamahome. You saw the characters yourself. She's not hiding anything. She's as much in the dark as we are. So I hope everyone is nice to…Kumiko, our daughter…" she winked at me.
Tamahome stiffened significantly. I blinked at him. His face turned the color of tomatoes.
"I'm Mitsukake," a large man with dark skin and black hair said with a small smile. A white cat was perched on his shoulders.
"What a cute cat!" I said excitedly, twirling in a circle, "Can I pet him? What's his name?"
"His name is Tama," Mitsukake smiled, "And, of course, you can pet him any time."
"Yay!" I squealed and ran over to Mitsukake.
Tama jumped in my arms and I started to pet his back.
"I'm Nuriko," a lady with a long purple braid sighed, flipping her braid behind her back.
"N-Nuriko…" Mokoto blushed, "You're very pretty…"
"Yeah and he's a cross dresser! So don't be fooled by his girly appearance. This fruit has no shame," a man with fiery red hair and tanned skin said, just before Nuriko hit him over the head.
"Yes, it's true," Nuriko sighed, clearing his throat a bit, "But I have the soul of a woman!"
"Sure, you do," the red haired man smiled.
Nuriko hit the man again.
"I'm Tasuki by the way," the man with the red hair said.
"Nuriko…" Mokoto whispered, "Do you only fall in love with men?"
"Did you say something, girl?" Nuriko asked.
"N-No!" Mokoto blushed madly.
I laughed and twirled Tama around. This was going to be so great!

"You there!" Nakago shouted at me, "Come over here. I will introduce you to Seiryuu's priestess and her seishi."
"O-Ok…" I said handing Tama to Mokoto and walking slowly over to them.
Tamahome jumped in front of me, "Are you sure we should let her go over to them Miaka?!"
"Yes. They're part of her family too," the priestess replied from behind me.
Tamahome grunted and moved out of my way. So I continued to walk next to Nakago. I looked up into his blue eyes. He felt familiar. I liked him already.
"This is Yui the priestess of Seiryuu," Nakago said directing my attention to a girl with short blond hair and blue eyes. I could tell that she was trying to smile at me but she seemed too sad to manage it.
"Nice to meet you Yui," I smiled widely and hugging her, "Jiyuuiki said that you're one of my mothers. So I hope you like me."
Then I released her and turned back to Nakago. "This is Soi a constellation of Seiryuu."
A woman with red hair pulled into a bun stepped up. She held out her hand to me. I shook it politely.
"Hello Soi," I smiled.
"This is Suboshi and Amiboshi."
Two identical boys stepped up to me. They had short dark hair.
"That's so neat. You guys are twins… Suboshi…you're…one of my fathers," I jumped up and down and smiled, "I hope you like me too."
"This is Miboshi."
A small child hovered up to me. He was a bit scary so I took a step back. His blue aura wasn't reassuring. He smiled maliciously at me.
"Um…hi."
"This is Ashitare."
Ashitare was a wolf like man, very hairy and big.
"WAIIII!" I squealed and jumped up and hugged him around the neck, "You look cool!"
Ashitare didn't say a thing or make any move to touch me so I let myself down and sighed.
"And this is Tomo."
A very decorated man came up to me. He had face paint and exotic Chinese clothes on. He bent down and smiled at me.
"Hi!" I smiled at him and waved bashfully.
"You are very kawaii," Tomo laughed shaking my hand, "I'm so glad you're going to be my little sister."
"Really!" I said clasping my hands, "Oniichan…" (5. Oniichan- Older brother)
"Now that you've been introduced," Nakago said, "I would hope that you can evenly decide which side to fight on, Seiryuu's or Suzaku's."
"…What?!" I said stepping back.
"You're scaring her Nakago," Tomo said taking my hand, "She doesn't know anyone good enough to pick a side after one day. You can give her time. Right Miss Yui?"
"Yes…" Yui said looking me over, "You… You're name is Kumiko right?"
"Hai…" I said squeezing Tomo's hand.
"It's a very pretty name… Please tell Miaka that we should call a truce for one week so that we can figure you out."
"O-ok."
I walked back to Miaka and delivered the message.
"Agreed," Miaka said, "Is everyone ok with this decision?"
"No," Nuriko smiled, "But they won't be speaking up."
Miaka smiled and nodded over at Yui. Tonight the enemies would sleep as friends.
