MYSTERIOUS REALITY
Ok well basically, the summary of last chapter was in the title. Ideas. The Genbu and Byakko warriors all forgot about their differences for the time being and decided to help the Suzaku Sieshi in getting back Miaka.

Thank you to all those who review. If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have continued the story.
~Chapter 8~ First Test Of Strength
The warriors and priestesses were all moving towards Yui's house as they seemed to be talking about who would take on who. It seemed that they agreed to move in a group but when it actually came to fighting, two people would fight and if they got in a jam, only then would the others interfere. But under no exception would the priestesses be left unguarded and would not fight at all, despite their abilities.
These rules and decisions were not really for the best interests of the mikos, as most wanted to believe and tried to make the others think. It was more of a sense of pride for all of the sieshi. They wanted to prove to the two that they were all honorable warrirors and that each could fulfill their purpose. Deep down, they all suspected that the two revived girls doubted all of their abilites, even ones of their own sieshis'. That bothered them all. "Now please try to be safe, all of you." Takiko commanded to all. Suzuno chimed in behind all the others, "Yes. Everyone please try to be careful. Not all of you are my warrirors or of Takiko's but we still worry and are concerned with all of your well-beings."
"Which is why," Takiko explained, "We wanted you to find two people with what seemed to be a similar personality or strength. We all might be of different gods, but we are not all that different. Even the gods all have two things in common. China, and being a form of an animal. They have many more but right now we want you to find your similar brother in the crowd."
After making some strange and funny faces at the mikos, the sieshi all got into pairs of three: Hikistu, Tokaki,& Tasuki; Subaru, Chichiri,& Uruki; Mitskake, Karasuki,& Noname; Naname, Hotohori,& Kokie; Toroki, Chiriko,& a another warrior of Genbu; and Nuriko, Amerfuri,& another Genbu warrior. There was an exception to the three group though. Taka and Tomite, who paired by themselves. A warrior was missing but Taka didn't dare to ask. He already had guessed that the other who would have been with them would have been the missing Tatara.
"This is stupid!" Tasuki complained, "Why do we have to fight in threes while those two get to fight with just themselves?!" A few glares from the Byakko seishi obviously told him to keep his mouth shut or it may have been Suzuno's painful gaze that revealed to him that there was something that no one was telling him.
Finally, Taka's foot landed on the doorstep of Yui's household. Takiko was shivering and Suzuno looked a sickly pale and seemed to be getting paler by the minute. Subaru looked back at the girls with a slight concern then looked up at the home of the Seriyuu Priestess. She felt it too. Evil poured over this unhappy home and was not a pleasant feeling by far. "Maybe you two should stay out here." Subaru began to suggest but before she could explain why, Takiko's shaking hand was already turning the handle to the front door. Suzuno just looked at her warrior and shook her head no. Both were determined to go.
Upon opening the door, a blue force field stood in their way, blocking their path to the rest of inside. Taka glared angrily as he ran towards the field with his muscular arms crossed infront of him. "I won't let you stop me from rescuing Miaka! Not you! Not anyone!!!!" he declared as his love for Miaka filled his heart, giving him strength. "Taka, you moron, don't kill yourself before you save her!" Tasuki warned with concern. The others watched with shock.
"Let's see this one's power. Think he's strong enough? Bet you he doesn't pass." Takiko whispered in her friend's ear. Suzuno had a dull glaze over her eyes. One of her own sieshi looked back almost as stunned as he was at the display by Taka but now he was stunned by that uncaring look of his miko's. "Priestess, don't you care!?" Tokaki asked with a hint of anger. Suzuno just looked at him then back at the warrior charging the field, leaving the question unanswered. Takiko held back a giggle and elbowed her buddy in the arm lightly as if it was a game to toy with their mind; then Takiko's attention went back to the event at hand.
Taka collided straight into the blue light as hot lightening bolts shot off the barrier and was about to strike him, but his love for Miaka caused his own power to grow. A red light came over him as his body suddenly began to overcome the lightening's attack, his senses numb to the shock and sure enough, the lightening was tossed back to the barrier. The light around him increased, and transformed into a red flame that engulfed his entire body, powered by his love for Miaka. As the flame glowed brightly and with his body against the barrier, the blue light that once stood in their way now slowly began to crack and then shattered and disappeared as Taka broke through.
At first, everyone was left in awe. Never had they ever seen such power. Suddenly, the warriors erupted: clapping and cheering, running over to Taka's side, as the fire slowly became one with his body and returned to his soul within. He smiled to his comrades then looked back to the two girls. Takiko seemed surprised while Suzuno seemed pleased with the performance. Everyone congradulated Taka as they continued their quest, further into Yui's house.
"He's stronger than I suspected." Takiko muttered to Suzuno, with just a hint a disappointment. Her friend smiled to her knowingly, "Well what did you suspect? A weakling? Come on Takiko, he's a warrior just the same." Takiko's blue eyes narrowed into a glare. She didn't like being talk to like this. She didn't like being wrong either, "I thought that he would have weakened because he moved to our world. But if I didn't know any better, I would guess him to be one of the strongest!" Suzuno slightly laughed quietly so to not grab the attention of the others who were now walking infront of them. She then smiled, "Of course he would be strong. His love is strong for Miaka and their god is of love." Takiko just glared at her buddy and Suzuno sweatdropped, "Its true." Grumbling, the Genbu miko replied, "We'll just test him again with the others. Then we'll see just how strong exactly he is." Sighing, shaking her head sadly, Suzuno went on in silence as Takiko returned to her love's side.
