MYSTERIOUS REALITY
What Happened Last Chapter Suzuno revealed her powers of having control over time. But Taka was too impatient to get to Miaka so he decides to leave and go to her himself.

And Takiko could not be any happier to see her lost love, Tomite.

~Chapter 6~ Heartbreak
Takiko's face glowed with her happiness at seeing her beloved. It was obvious of how long it had been since they were last together. She hugged onto him, seeming as though she were never going to let him go, and they moved to the now empty living room. As soon as they sat down on the couch, they shared a passionate long kiss. The Suzaku Seven and Suzuno remained at the door trying to give them as much time together as they could. But then they noticed that Tomite was not the only guest.
Rest of the Genbu Seven stood at the door, a look of confusion on each of their faces. They didn't know where they were nor who the people were at the door. But the Suzaku warriors, except for Nuriko, recognized one with an eye patch. And he recognized them as well. After they recognized the one guy, the Suzaku Seven greeted each with such happiness and welcomed all of them into Miaka's home, except for Hotohori who thought was rude to invite them into Miaka's home without her permission. They slowly moved to the living room and sat down as a heated conversation began as the Genbu warriors told of their journey to this strange land. They all had experienced the same as the priestess and before they could understand what was happening, they were standing before Miaka's door. Everyone seemed to be interested in this story except two people, Taka and Suzuno.
No one seemed to notice their absence from the group but Suzuno caught a glimpse of him as she stood at the window. He was leaning against a wall near the door with an annoyed looked on his face. "Why are you so bothered by this visit of the Genbu Seven? Why are you not over there greeting them like the others?" Suzuno questioned him while she remained staring out the window. "I should be asking you the same question." Taka replied with a bit a spitefulness in his voice. Suzuno's brown eyes suddenly glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. He could feel her stare and sighed as He turned and faced her.
Out of respect she did the same. "Its just," he explained, "I can't stand it! Here we are, sitting around, listening to stories while Miaka is gone! She could be in danger! She needs our help and what are we doing?!" He then glanced at the other Suzaku warriors watching them laugh with the Genbu Seven. He growled and continued, "WE ARE JUST DOING NOTHING!!!" Everyone's eyes focused on him as Taka breathed slowly trying to gain control of his temper. Suzuno smiled politely and whispered to him, "You really must learn to not be so easily angered." Takiko looked to Suzuno for an explaination for Taka's outburst but Suzuno just gave her a look as if saying You are better off not knowing. Takiko shrugged and started up another conversation drawing back everyone else's attention.
Taka sighed then looked at Suzuno, "You never told me why you are not talking with the others." Suzuno looked back out the window. It seemed as though she were waiting for something and no longer paying him attention. Taka was just about to yell at her when he noticed her brown eyes grow wide and happy. She turned and ran to the door but didn't go outside. Instead she just stood there waiting. A knock interupted the conversation and caused everyone to join the Byakko Priestess at the door. Hotohori turned the knob and pulled the door to him, and there before the emperor, as well as the others, was Tokaki.
Suzuno hugged him smiling but it was obvious that this wasn't the person she was waiting for. She looked up at him with her smile as her cheerful voice greeted him, "Its been so long! How are you?" He seemed just as happy to see her. "I'm fine, Suzu-chan. But I can tell you are disappointed, is something wrong?" he questioned. She sighed while her brown eyes darted to the ground. Her meek voice replied, "Did Tatara come with you?" Taka's eyes widened as his ears caught the word Tatara. His trip to the Sairou Empire and his meeting Tatara had refreshed in his mind.
Tatara, keeper of the shinzaho for the Byakko priestess. He remembered of how him and Suzuno asked to stay together forever of the god Byakko and of how thier request was rejected. He could only imagine how much it hurt for them to be separated for so long. Now Taka's eyes looked around Tokaki, only to see all the other warriors there but he only recognized his master and his wife, Subaru. But they were now young looking. Suzuno was looking with Taka behind Tokaki but her eyes could not find her beloved in the crowd. Tokaki sighed as he laid his hands on her shoulders as his deep voice sounded sad and compassionate, "Priestess, you won't find Tatara here. He didn't come."
Suzuno's brown eyes widened and quivered as it seemed they were about to shed tears. Her voice now whispered, "Why? Where is he?" Tokaki looked away. He could not answer her questions and looked to his wife for help. He did not want to explain, he didn't want to see her cry. Subaru nodded to her husband then grabbed Suzuno's hand saying in a happy voice, "Let's go for a walk Suzu-chan and catch up on things!" The priestess didn't even have time to object to the suggestion as the young woman pulled her out of the door and through the crowd of warriors and down the street.
Taka welcomed the rest of the Byakko seishi in as the living room was now overflowing with people. Takiko, who was cuddling with her Tomite, looked up at the new crowd of people and smiled, greeting them all. But her warriors all seemed not too happy to see the Byakko Seishi. A sigh escaped Takiko's soft pink lips as her blue eyes watched the tension build up in the room and Tomite's glare meeting Tokaki's. Tasuki looked back and forth between both groups of warriors then interupted the silence by shouting in an annoyed voice, "WHAT'S WITH ALL THE GLARES?!" No one answered his question and all the seishi, except Suzaku's, crossed their arms and turned away from one another. Tomite just replied spitefully, "We cannot let rest the past. When our countries fought one another, they were our enemies. Even though it was so long ago the feelings to one another and the memories remain fresh."
Before he could continue on with the details of the fighting Subaru walked in, Suzuno trailing behind her at a slow speed. The priestess's cheeks were damp and reddened. Her eyes quivered and shimmered with tears that had yet to be shed. But it her brown eyes were wide with sadness and everyone could see that she had been crying for a very long time. Takiko jumped up, leaving Tomite alone on the couch as she ran to Suzuno's side. Seeing her best friend in this condition really made her want to cry with her. Takiko hugged her friend as she questioned with sympathy ringing in her voice, "Suzu-chan what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Suzuno was so upset her body was shaking. Her voice trembled like no one else had heard it do before. "Takiko, Tatara isn't coming. Byakko wouldn't let him come!" She broke down, crying on her friend's shoulder.
