Chapter 3 :Discoveries and Old Feelings Reveiled

A/N: This took very very long to even think about start writing. So I hope you at least take a moment to read it to comment on it. Basically a continuation on this. If you like it I'll work on the plot more, if not comments are welcome. Times of day jump a little so bare with it. My grammer may not be perfect, and I could care less. Imperfection is sometimes beauty.

Disclaimer: I don't own FY just this story. the rest is self explaintory.

The moon was shining the stars were sparkling, it seemed to be a perfect night. The silence of the night aside from the frogs and crickets was a reassuring thought to Tasuki. Everything is allright, he thought to himself.. If anything happens to her.. Tasuki rolled over and began to fall asleep. Almost immediately his thoughts drifted to Miaka. She was the only girl he wanted. His many one night stands got boring to him after awhile. His thoughts were now of the moment he got a chance to be with her... Miaka... I love you. Gently carressing her face..kissing her neck.. hearing her say his name.. Who was he kidding anyway? His love for her is forbidden.

KNOCK KNOCK..

Tasuki wakes up to answer the door only with a look of shock on his face.

"Miaka!?.. Wha..What are you doing here?"

" I couldn't sleep. I just kept thinking about what could happen. Tasuki I don't want anything to happen to you or chichiri or anyone else for that matter, we all went through hell last time. I will try my best if anything happens."

"Miaka..everything is going to be ok.. uh by the way.. where is Tamahome?"

"Oh, he went to the shrine to pay respects, he must have fallen asleep."

Tasuki putting is hand against Miaka's cheek whispering the words..nothing will happen to you.. I promise.. I love you..

Miaka's eyes grew big and wide.. Tasuki just gasped.. He couldn't believe he just said that outloud. Miaka's gaze turned into a smile." I appreciate it Tasuki. That does explain you not being able to relaxe since I arrived. Tasuki.. let me tell you something.. all my life I was tired of being second guessed..looked over.. and not chosen. I was tired of being alone.. seeing all the other girls get the guy.. then I met Tamahome.. he helped me. and cared for me.. I realized he was the person for me. Tasuki.. I have always felt something for you. Tasuki.. I hate the feeling of being in love with someone that is not willing to return it, who keeps running away from it. Im glad Tamahome gave me another chance. You have so much to offer someone, so much love.. But I'm not the right one for you. I'm sorry.. Goodnight Tasuki."

As Miaka turned to leave Tasuki tried to say her name but all that came out was air. Rejection was not something he took well, but he already knew it was coming. She didn't care for him the same way. He wasn't going to cry. He was a man, a bandit. DAMNIT!! I'm going to get drunk!

--Scene changes to Chichiri meditating in the garden--

Tasuki...gomen..

*Earlier that day*

"Taittskun.. even though you aren't sure what is going on, what are your thoughts as to what it might be?"

"Well Miaka, its looks like the Gods are in a disagreement with each other."

"Why for? They shouldn't be after all we went through to restore peace they should be happy!"

"Calm down Tasuki, this isn't the time to get irrational, no da"

"You're right Chichiri..as usual"

"Only thing left to do now is to search for answers, starting tomorrow we should get ready to leave, looks like its going to be a bumpy ride."

"Great time to be optimistic Tamahome, BEEEEDAH!"

"Sheesh even this time you two still find time to play around, as usual"

"Yui and Tetsuya must be worried!, Chichiri can we send a message?"

"Hai no da, right away"

*Next Morning*

Miaka woke up to the sunny morning with the birds chirping just like she remember it. She rolled over to discover that Tamahome had his arms wrapped around her. Placing her hand upon his cheek his eyes opened.

"Glad to see you made it back to me, did you fall asleep at the shrine."

"Yeah, it was so peaceful, and I just kept thinking about everything. Next thing I knew I was waking up with a sore back realizing how much I missed you."

"Aww aren't you just cute, I missed you too... Let's Eat!"

"Not before your goodmorning kiss.."

Tamahome leaned over to gently kiss Miaka goodmorning... His one true love that stood through his worst stupidity. Thank god I have her, he thought to himself.. I would never have survived..

Feeling a bit sick and a bit hurt from last night, Tasuki slowly dragged himself to the breakfast table where Chichiri as always was eager to meet everyone. Chichiri took one look at Tasuki and just shook his head with a bit of a chuckle.

"What the *&%$* you chuckling about!"

"Tasuki..Tasuki.. Tasuki.. you will never learn."
