~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Miaka~

Mmmm... It's so warm and comfy... I wonder where I am? It doesn't really matter... but I better get up the others will be worried.

~Mwah(the narrator of course)~

Miaka blinked open her eyes supised to find herself clutching a human NAKED pillow, otherwise known as Tamahome. Miaka of course screamed pulling the sheets with her as she jumped from the bed. Tamahome having enough sense to wake up and grab a pillow blushed furiously covering himself.

"MIAKA!!!" "TAMAHOME!!!" "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN BED WITH ME!!!!" Was simultaneously shouted. Out of nowhere popped a sleepy Nuriko rubbing one eyelid asking.

"Can you two quiet down? I'm trying to sLeeP..." With that she wrapped a blanket around herself and closed her eyes. Miaka and tamahome stared at the place where they had both previously slept with Nuriko...(hehehehe...two guys, one girl, fun! just kidding!!!)Miaka blinked.

"L-let's get dressed then you can tell me what happened..." Miaka suggestedusing, for once, common sense. Tamhome nodded and walked out the room without blinking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Tamahome explained what had happened Miaka blinked burying her head in Tamahome's shoulder.

"Tama-chan... I think... " Tamahome looked at Miaka his eyebrows furrowed at her seriousness.

"Wow... Miaka-chan... You think??? Amazing!" Miaka frowned at Tamhome's joke and tightened her lips. Tamahome sensing Miaka's unfavorable mood asked softly.

"What is it?" Miaka looked up at him smiling softly.

"I...I want to go home..." She murmured. Tamahome's eyes widened as he pulled Miaka closer to him with his arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sora stepped away from the massive doors behind her and they closed with a thud. Her eyes were round bearing no trace of her somber mood as her face did. She continued to walk down the hallway and several corridors. Finally she stopped before a small set of double doors. She paused opened the door slowly before stepping lightly inside. She waits walks towards the bed and cocks her head slightly to one side.

~Sora~

Taitsukun's words echoed over and over around me... 'the child is yours... do as you please... but a word of advice...some men would not take kindly to the child... but others would love it simply because it is yours..few men think as such...you would do well to find him...' I had laughed at her... so coldly,so harshly, so...like Nakago... He hated and that tore away his soul... I can't be like that. I mustn't. I must make sure they all get their proper ends. I cannot befriend them...only to lose them? Can I??? Nuri-chan, I thought as I saw him laying bleeding strewn across the snow. I had acted too late, I allowed myself to enjoy being here... which in itself wasn't to be. I stopped suddenly realizing my thoughts had led me to a set of red double doors, furnished with a golden embossed Pheonix on it. They looked familiar...Whose room? I thought before opening the door slowly to be greeted by an almost completely dark room. I walked towards the red canopy bed gazing out the window at the slightly risen sun before looking at the room's sleeping occupant. Hotohori lay there cradling his head in his arms as he lay breathing softly. His dark hair pooled around him loose and unbound, his skin glinttered in the light beams cast across some of the rooom, his face was much more youthful now than it had ever seemed before... It suddenly occured to me that Hotohori was strikingly handsome... Not just pretty... actually more than that, there were many handsome people in the world but Hotohori could outdo any of them. Suddenly, an image came into my head...


~~~Nakago stood behind me watching me in the mirror as I brushed my hair... He rested one hand on my shoulder leaning me back towards him I stffened but did not resist, too tired from the day's work.

"Beautiful..." He murmured planting a soft kiss on my unmoving lips. He turned my head back towards the mirror lowering his head and resting it on my shoulder...

"You are more beautiful than any woman alive or dead..." He said while I watched. Feeling as though I was a different person, not the one in the mirror who was at the moment being kissed by Nakago and watching herself through emotionless eyes.~~~

I felt myself come to the present once more with a glance at Hotohori before I left the room in search of Miaka...


"He was wrong... I'm not beautiful...Beauty deserves better...." I however heard that usually silent voice in the back of my head... 'You deserve better'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Miaka~

After Tamahomeleft I started to cry... I, I couldn't help it... He was so upset. Look what happened because of me... Oh Tama-kun...

~ME!!!~

Sora entered the rrom to find the priestess a emotional wreck. She watched silently for amoment while confusion clouded her mind. What should she do? How could she help...? Why was it so hard to comfort her??? Sora's jaw tightened, she had to help her priestess it was her main priority.

"Miaka... What's wrong?" Miaka looked at Sora her face streaked with tears.

"I...I told... I told Tama... I told him... I ... Wanted... to go home..." Sora frowned lowering herself to eye level with Miaka. She waited while Miaka struggled through her sobs to continue.

"Then...He...got mad...at me..." Sora reached forward placing her hand on Miaka's shoulder..

"Miaka... He's mad at you because he cares... He... He wouldn't be upset if he didn't want you to stay... Now stop crying..." Miaka looked at Sora with wide eyes and gave her a quivering smile as she stood.

"Y-You're right... I-I guess I was just scared he wouldn't love me anymore..." Sora looked away unable to hidde the sadness in her features, how would SHE know about love... She'd never felt it.

"How about breakfast... Then Taittsukun wanted to speak with you..." Miaka nodded following Sora out the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Hotohori~

I slept soundly...Waking later than usual I looked around my room for Sora...She was gone. I held back a yawn however and stood preparing top join the others for breakfast... if I could figure out where that was. After I got dressed, I thought about Sora... Where was she? Why did she leave? Did I...Did I scare her away... I closed my eyes walking down the hallway...Till I realized I was lost. i continued walking only to become somewhat nervous and my pace quickened till I came to see Miaka...and Sora walking towards me. I walked up to them silently, Sora was saying something very softly to Miaka who was looking at her wide-eyed.

"Miaka, Sora, Ohayo." Sora stopped talking turning to me. She replied with Miaka, though Miaka was much more cheerful, simultaneously.

"Ohayo Hotohori.../!" I sweatdropped before asking sheepishly.

"Do you know where to get breakfast. Miaka giggled and Sora's lips turned up at on corner as she looked behind me.

"Turn around and the door on your right..." I nodded trying to keep my composure. I looked at Sora and found her looking out the corner oh her eye while once again softly speaking to Miaka. My head was swimming as I turned back using Sora's simple directions. As I opened the door I was suddenly hit in the face with a bowl of rice which knocked me over into Miaka and Sora behind me. I pulled off the bowl as I heard Nuriko screech.

"OH!!! HOTO-SAMA!!! TASUKIIII! LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!!" I wasn't suprised by a loud thud as Tasuki hit the wall.

"Miaka... Get off me..." I heard as I turned to see Miaka laying over Sora's stomach, I then realized I was sitting on Miaka and promtly stood lifting Miaka then Sora onto there feet. Sora sighed before glaring at Nuriko and the bandit before Chichiri and mistukake.

"Can't you people ever have a decent meal where food isn't thrown and people don't ruin someone else's house??" Miaka giggled before setting eyes on the food and digging in. followed Miaka to the table and began to eat watching as Nuriko, obviously offended began to argue.

"It's not my fault, he was making fun me!!!" Sora glared back resolutely.

"You didn't have to start a food fight though. And I bet you teased him too!" Nuriko pouted as Tasuki smirked triumphantly. The rest of the beakfast was quiet... Much to my relief... Then Taittsukun came...
