Chapter 4 -Dream.
The dragon roared again, its blue scales tinted red by the moon's light. Tasuki took out his fan, "Alright, leave this to me! Rekka Shinen!" the flames covered the dragon. Yet when they subsided the dragon was unharmed and it roared in annoyance. "Great Job Tasuki, you only pissed off." Tasuki glared at Nuriko, "Well I'd like to see ya try somethin!!" "Quit fighting both of you no da. The enemy is the dragon no da. Not each other no da." The dragon roared and stared down at the Suzaku warriors. Tasuki blinked, "'Ey, that dragon looks awfully familiar." Nuriko sighed, "Does it now?" Tasuki narrowed his eyes, "Yeah it does!" "Watch it no da!!" "Whoa!" they just barely dodged the dragons attack. "Ok, that attack looks familiar too!!" "It's Seiryuu no da!" the dragon opened it's mouth a blue light began to form from deep inside it.
"REKKA SHINEN!" Tasuki launched another attack and aimed it directly into the dragons mouth. It roared in pain and moved its huge body around dangerously. "I've just realized something guys." "Really now Nuriko, what is it?" "This is a trap!" Tasuki blinked, "What do you mean?" "He's right no da, haven't you noticed, there are no villagers here no da. Those we saw earlier were just illusions no da. We've been setup no da."

Kiki finally understood why people in movies, books, animes, and manga's just stood there staring at the enemy when its about to attack you, they were just too damn scared to move. She slowly stepped back a few inches and tripped over the kendo stick, falling backwards onto the ground. "Ow." she cringed in pain, remembering her wounds from earlier. She looked over at the other others as they fought the huge dragon. Tasuki had managed to do some damage and the dragon was crying out in pain. Suddenly Kiki felt something cover around her waist and her mouth.
Her muffled screams for help were drowned out by the dragons loud cries. She tried to grab her kendo stick but was being dragged into the bushes. The small branches made tiny scratches on her arms and legs. She could no longer see her friends or the dragon. She finally was getting angry and didn't like being dragged on the ground. She sunk her teeth into what ever was covering her mouth. "Aha!" it retracted and she heard someone curse softly behind her. "Argh, Kiki, you could like not bite so hard!!" Kiki blinked, she knew that voice.
"Father?" Yes, it was none other than Tamahome. "Man, your just like your mother. Ahh!" Kiki tackled him, "It's so great to see you! I missed you so much!" Tamahome sat up with his twenty-two-year-old daughter still hugging him. "For someone who's wounded you sure are active." she blinked, "How do you know I'm hurt?" "We've been following you with the book." "The book?" he sighed, "Yes, the Universe of the Four Gods book. Your mother was going insane because she couldn't get into it and help you. She was driving Niko and me insane as well. Never heard her scream or cry that much." "Is she ok now?" he nodded, "Should be, Niko has the book now. We both agreed it would be better for Miaka. Hey, are you listening?" Kiki had turned around and was trying to see if she could spot the dragon or the others. She knew they were there, Tasuki and Nuriko's yelling could be heard all the way from there.
She stood up, holding back the desire to fall back onto the ground. "Where do you think your going?" "I'm going to help, isn't it obvious?" Tamahome stood up, "You're wounded, you can't help them." "Man your annoying even in here!" he blinked, "Ok young lady, your grounded!" she blinked, "You can't ground me!! I'm 22-years-old!" she stalked off back through the bushes again and when she saw Seiryruu, she almost wished she had stayed back in the forest. "Damn, that is one big dragon... Whoa!" Tamahome started pulling her back, "Wait here, ok? I don't want to see you killed." She sighed, "Your only saying that because you're my father." "It doesn't matter, now stay put!" "I'M NOT A DOG!!" "Never said you were sweetie." Kiki fell to the ground, "I can't believe him."
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~ ~~*~~
Tamahome ran over to the others, "Hey guys, need some help?" "Tamahome?!" they all stared at him, "What the hell are you doing here?" "What your language Tasuki, my daughter is behind us." Tasuki rolled his eyes, "Whatever, if your gonna help then hurry up and start doing something." "Alright then, I will." Tamahome ran up to the dragon, the ogre symbol appearing on his forehead. He slammed his fist into it and.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" everyone's jaw dropped, Tasuki grinned, "Looks like the little ghost can't make the cut! Wahh!" Tasuki started running with Tamahome almost on him. Seiryuu roared loudly and a bright blue light began to form in its mouth. "I think it's time we left no da." "I think your right Chichiri. Tasuki! Tamahome! Get over here!" the two quit fighting and ran over, standing on Chichiri's kesa. "Wait, we're missing someone!" Chiriko quickly pointed out. "Kiki no da! Hurry up and go, I'll get her no da." The others started disappearing into the kesa as Chichiri teleported over to Kiki and picked her up. "Chichiri! Watch out!" she pointed at the dragon as it released the energy it had been collecting and aimed the beam at the two. The whole are become lighted with the brilliant blue light and faded once again into the darkness as the attack ended.

Kiki looked into the oncoming car's headlights and froze. She felt something shove her onto the curb. The screeched for a second and drove off. Kiki stood up and looked out in the road, "HORI!!!!!!" she began to run over to him but everything faded into darkness again. Kiki stood still, "Hori!! Hori!! Where are you?! Hori!!" Will you let the darkness take you? Or will you fight the darkness within? "I don't understand." Do not let words keep you locked up. Some words are meant to be silent. Let them. "I don't know what you're talking about! Hori!!"
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~ ~~*~~
"Hori." Kiki reopened her eyes and looked around. Looking to the side she saw Chichiri. He looked tired and injured. "Chichiri?" he looked down at her, "Your awake, about time no da. We've lost the others again no da." Sitting up Kiki saw a huge burn mark bleeding on his arm. "Chichiri, your arm." she jumped up and tore off one of the sleeves from the shirt she was wearing. "You don't have to do that no da." She knelt down next to him, "But it could get infected, then it would only hurt more. Don't worry, I won't hurt it, I promise." He nodded and she wrapped it around tightly, only causing a tiny pain. "There, we'll have Mitsukake look at it when we find those guys again." "He'll have to heal you first though no da."
Kiki smiled, "I'm ok, it doesn't hurt so much, Tasuki needed more help than me." She giggled. Tasuki had managed to really piss Nuriko off and she broke his arm when they were going into the kesa. "Yeah, I suppose so no da." Kiki sat on her knees and was thinking about her dream. It worried her; it was enough to see the memory repeatedly, it was even worse to have someone's voice in it too. "I don't understand." Chichiri looked over at her, "Don't understand what no da?" Kiki blinked, she hadn't realized she was talking out loud. "Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about something that's all." She faked a smiled and looked back down at the ground.
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~ ~~*~~
Niko jumped over a park bench and hopped a small fence. "Man, for an old lady she runs fast." "WHAT WAS THAT?!" Niko's eyes widened. Miaka was chasing the girl in a chance of getting the book back. After she had read Tamahome's note she went straight to Niko's house. Niko let her him, slipped the book into her bag and ran, Miaka figured it out about two seconds later and was after her. "Kiki is soo going to owe me big for this, I swear it!" Niko managed to jump onto the city bus as it was leaving and Miaka got left behind in the dust, shaking her fist at her and yelling small threats at Niko.
Sighing relieved Niko took out the book and opened it. "After awhile, Chichiri and the miko returned to the Konan Palace. Everyone was happy to see them except for Tamahome, who had been worried about the miko's safety. He grabbed her and yelled at Chichiri for making a careless mistake and not returning immediately. The miko broke the grip on her arm and explained to Tamahome what had happened and about Chichiri's injury.
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~ ~~*~~
Kiki's stance was solid and her voice unwavering. "I understand that you were worried, but you shouldn't yell at Chichiri. He saved me and got hurt in doing that so you cannot blame him. So apologize!" Tamahome glared at the two and glanced at everyone. Saying nothing he left the chamber and walked out. Kiki's expression saddened and her head dropped a little. Tasuki put a hand on her shoulder, "Don' worry Kiki, yer dad isn't used to be yellin back at by girls. Although ya think he would be by now. Anyways, he'll apologize, just when no one is around." Kiki looked up and smiled, but fainted. Tasuki caught her before she hit the floor.
"Whoa there, what's wrong?" Nuriko walked over and took her from Tasuki, "She's probably really tired, and she's been through a lot. Miaka had the same problem remember?" Nuriko took Kiki to the room where she was before and laid her down on the bed. Chichiri and Mitsukake walked up. "She's been injured no da. That might be part of the problem too no da." Mitsukake walked over to her and held out his hand. The symbol appeared and it glowed green. Kiki's body glowed a little and then faded back to normal. "There, she should be fine now." He left and Nuriko covered her up under the blankets. "Come on Chichiri, we should go get Mitsukake to look at you arm and change the bandages on it." Chichiri nodded and they both left.
