***Oooh suspenseful, I don't know I think I should continue the story, but I'm not sure. Do you really honestly appreciate me and my beautiful work? Bah! God, I even annoy myself. I'm so stupid, dumb, idiotic, moronic, and....and.....and I've run out of words to say. So, I'm going to start the fanfic now. Bye-
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Miyoko went to Hotohori with the letter and read it aloud "Dear all my friends and all that read this letter, I love you all so much. I have caused so much pain. And it will stop now! I can't cause any more pain or suffering in this world. I care about you all so much and I don't want any more pain. I bet Tamahome is gonna rejoice after hearing this news. I must say this though, I have had second thoughts about this I must say that. It does scare me the pain and turmoil I will endure in this decision I have made. I know if I told you would stop me in this decision. I would like to make these final requests though. Miyoko's new best friend will be Yui and Miaka will be the new empress and wife of Hotohori. I love him very much and just want him to be happy. I know I am just excess baggage. And now its time to get rid of the baggage problem. Thats why I have decided to go and exterminate myself now. Hopefully, I can forget about the pain I cause my loved ones especially Hotohori. I'm just not good enough for him. Love yours truly, Hamatsu P.S. This message will self-destruct in 15 seconds. NOT! I just always wanted to say that. Bye-bye my friends"
Miyoko wiped a tear away and chuckled sadly "That fool! She knows we're going after her. She just doesn't realize it yet. She honestly thinks that we will listen to her in this good-bye letter, She's gotta be that stupid. You shouldn't be that worried, Emperor Hotohori." Hotohori walked out of the room with Miyoko following him "No, I am worried because you have seen what this country has come to. You will have a clueless pregnant woman defend herself? I will not. I know she can probably defend herself, but when I took her as my wife I vowed to protect her........always and forever. Now go and get the others we will find her TONIGHT!" Miyoko slightly bowed and left for the other's rooms.
Everyone headed walked into the throne room. They all were barely awake and were yawning like you wouldn't believe. After all of them were in there. Hotohori announced "The Empress Hamatsu has....has....has gone off and the one who collects her first will be in my debt & I shall owe them greatly." A look came across Toroki's face. A face of evil schemes. Muahahaha. Toroki stepped forward and bowed to the ground "Sire, let me be the one to retrieve the Empress. I protected her as the priestess and I can protect her as the empress. Hotohori nodded, but added "You may search for her, but I hope that everyone that wishes to help will. I sadly can not go, but I would like Tamahome to go in my place. I thank you all." Everyone bowed and left with that.
Hamatsu was walking down the road. Her backpack was only on one shoulder, so it fell to the ground. Spilling everything out amongst the ground. She squatted down and started to collect her things. She heard footsteps behind her and her dogs started to growl. Hamatsu turned around and got in fighting stance. She spotted three familiar faces. She couldn't quite match them up, but she tried to. Another one came up behind her and held back her arms. Hamatsu attempted to flip her attacker over, but before she could another one lifted her legs off the ground and now Hamatsu's was like a hammock. And as much as she tried to fight back she couldn't. She did notice that the one holding her arms was a lady, but she too was very familiar, but the face just didn't strike Hamatsu. Hamatsu pushed her neck to the side and pulled out a few of her ninja fighting stars and threw them at the attacker holding her feet. Before they could hit another man caught them in between his fingers and laughed at this. Hamatsu heard a fighting cry come from behind her attackers and saw Miyoko in mid air kicking her feet's attacker in the back. Leading him to fall into Hamatsu leading her to be pushed into the woman.
Hamatsu was stuck in between two of her attackers. She shouted out "Get off me! I am not the ham & cheese in this sandwhich." She kicked the one of her and applied pressure of the arms to the lady as she popped up. She started to fight those two while Miyoko was fighting the other two. The girls finished all of them off. Three of them ran off while the blonde one said "This is not over Priestess of Byakko. Konan will fall as will your husband. His head will be mine." Hamatsu spit in his face and said "His head his mine as well as the rest of him and you touch him and I will kill you with every fiber of my being." There was that certain glare in her eyes. That cold, heartless, clever, uncaring, and showed no mercy glare.
The man gave her an amused look as he left.
Hamatsu face went back to her pouty angry look as she whined at Miyoko "Why are you her? I told you to not come after me. I can handle myself. I can protect myself you know. There is nothing that can ever slow me down. SO, just leave me alone, otay Miyo?" Miyoko was a little annoyed by this, so forgetting herself yelled "BUT YOU DO NEED PEOPLE TO HELP SINCE PREGNANT WOMEN ARE PRETTY MUCH USELESS FOR NINE MONTHS, ESPECIALLY YOU!!!"
Hamatsu looked at her and asked in a quiet tone "I'm I'm I'm......WAIT! AND NO ONE TOLD ME THIS STINKIN INFORMATION. YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE. LETS KEEP EVERYTHING FROM THE USELESS DITZ."
Miyoko saw the tears in her eyes and back-handed her friend and said "There is no yelling at the ninja master, baka."
When the girls arrived back at the palace. They walked in and Hotohori had his head leaning into his hand he was very antsy and irratible. He looked up and saw Hamatsu standing there. She stood there looking at him.
He ran up to her and hugged her. By the time Miyoko had located Hamatsu on the road the night had ended and it had been early morning. Hotohori had stayed up all night, waiting. He almost had tears in his eyes as he asked "My love, why do you keep denying me? Why do you prevent my love if it is because you have to force yourself to love me then I shall understand." Hamatsu slapped him then grabbed his face as she stared into his eyes as she stifled her tears "I will only say this once and once only. Mainly because I hate to get mushy to others, but I will say it. So, you will never doubt me again. If there were no words to speak I would still hear you. If there were no feelings I would still feel for you. Even if the sun refused to shine, even if the romance ran out, you would still have my heart until the end of time. Your all I need and all of my life I have been waiting for you and what you give to me. You have taught me to love unselfishly and you will have my heart. I would follow you and stay with you anywhere at that. Even if it means giving up my life in our time. And if you can't see this then....then....I have failed to love you how you deserve. I mean if I'm dreaming don't wake me up. I'm so sucked into you I feel as though I can't breath. I mean I 'm so emotionally wrapped up, physically attracted to you that I run into walls. Sometimes I so wrecklessly I need. Sometimes I can't believe this is real the way I feel about you. You have got me so electrically charged up that I love you. "
Hamatsu was crying face down. Hotohori grabbed her face and kissed her. They both stood there kissing eachother, eyes closed, hearts beating, and tears streaming down Hamatsu's face.Tamahome came in and put his arm around Miyoko he whispered into her ear "Um...Miyo whats with all the melodrama between the two of them. Its kinda unnecessary in this case, so she just left. There's no point to the crying really here.I wanted to see her 'leave' really, but I was a miniority in that feeling, so I was outvoted. If you ask me she has emotions like a roller coaster, but her stupidness is what really eats at me. She's just so-" Miyoko shot him a glare as she asked "So, are you saying you wouldn't do anything for me or even feel the way they feel in this type of situation?"
Tamahome got red then got in her face and said "I would be going through Hell if you left like that. I would be going out of my mind. I wouldn't be able to contain it as 'good' as his majesty." He kissed her on the cheek and walked out of the room.
Hotohori hugged Hamatsu and called for an attendant to get her back into her empress clothing and to send her back out to him. As Hamatsu started to walk off he whispered into her ear "I will not be letting you out of my sight anymore. I refuse to let you give me that feeling I had when you left. That emptiness and worry shall not return ever." Hamatsu looked back at him and said playfully "Since when do you give ME orders? I think you don't know who your dealing with, my dear." Hamatsu smiled evilly and coyly as she walked back to Royal Chambers to get dressed into her proper clothing.
Hamatsu put on the crown herself and the attendants were unpacking her things from her filled backpack when they said "Empress Hamatsu, we are glad to see you here back. The emperor was very worried and irritable. We have never seen him act that way. You have truely changed him in a good way."
Hamatsu exused them and they left. But as they left, Hotohori came in. He sat Hamatsu down on the bed and sat in front of her hoding her hands "Dear, I must inform you tomorrow I am leaving for Kutou. They have already dispatched their armies and ours we'll be set out tomorrow morning. I want to fight with my people I will endure what they do."
Hamatsu raised her hand to hit him again, but instead just stood up and walked past him. She explained with annoyance in her voice "You just said that you would watch me like a friggin hawk. And now your leaving. I guess I know that your people are more important than your wife, your PREGNANT wife at that even. Thats alright. I'm at the bottom of everyone's priority list." Hotohori looked at her with an confused/nervous/happy look on his face as he asked "How did you found out?"
Hamatsu just turned her back to him and pointed to the door. He gave a small bowed and left the room. Anger boiled in za' Empress Hamatsu. Till she yelled out "MIYOKO!!!!!"
Miyoko did come, but did so "gracefully" and by gracefully I mean....she tripped over both Satan and Rysi and caused a reaction of running into the wall. Miyoko's face was red with frustration. Hamatsu was now sitting on the bed hands buried in her face as she asked "Has your bastard you he's leaving yet? Mine has." Miyoko shook her headslowly then called really loud "TAMAHOME!"
Tamahome stopped in mid-hallway and started to run. Miyoko skidded out of the room and started to chase him down. Hamatsu stuck her head out the door and called out "Did I get you in trouble, Tamababy?" He halted to a stop and called behind "Yes you bit-" He started to run again when Miyoko caught up and tackled him to the ground she pinned him down and demanded "Is this true? Are you really going off tommorrow morning? AND not taking me? I'm a ninja! Do you deny a ninja?"
He started to creep away and she grabbed the collar of his shirt and concluded "YOU ARE! Well, you may deny a ninja, bet if you know what is good for you. You won't deny your WIFE because you know what will happen to you." Tamahome tried to kiss her, but she blocked him and said "Whose putty now?" Hamatsu clapped furiously and excitedly from her room. Hotohori came up and smiled at her. He to leaned in for a kiss, but was denied. Hamatsu turned to her room and said "I'm mad at you to. You find me useless in this war. I really am a freakin' samurai and your goin' need one for this war. Maybe me and Miyoko should just join the Kutou side. We'll give you Nakago. If he's still alive in this world. I don't like him, so you can have him. Just because I'm friggin pregnant and Miyoko's.......Miyoko's....Miyoko's......Miyoko's.....Miyoko is Miyoko doesn't mean that we can't fight. I probably could kick most of our armies butts. I'm very powerful. And Miyoko.....and Miyoko...and Miyoko...uh...um...yeah." Miyoko back-handed her and rang out "Demotion" Hamatsu stood on her tip-toes to her friend and huffed "This samurai can kick your ninja butt anyday." Miyoko and Hamatsu both started laughing randomly. Tamahome and Hotohori exchanged looks at one another and they started laughing to (quite nervously might I add). Miyoko and Hamatsu stopped and looked at them angerily. They stopped and walked off.

That night at dinner. The table was once again filled with the three emperors, three empresses, 20 of the celestial warriors of Geenbu, Byakko, & Suzaku, Miyoko, Miaka, and Yui. Silence had filled the room while everyone ate their dinner, but it wasn't long before it was broken. Yui had stood up and annouced "I would like to tell you that........I'm joining Kutou. You all are my friends, but no matter what I am the Preistess of Seityuu and must stick with Kutou. I'm leaving tonight. Goodbye!" She walked out of the room. Hamatsu sighed "Well, isn't this peachy? One down. Now how many others do we have to become traitors? Who's next...THE USELESS ONE....and by that I mean Tamacakes."
Hamatsu put her hands I her hips and jazz walked to her room they all stared at her strangely. Tasuki said "one of ya'll should go after `er. She is actin' weird again and ya'll know what dat means."
They all looked at Miyoko. She just rolled her eyes and stormed into the room.
Hamatsu immediately grabbed her and threw her in the chair and explained "I have a plan.....
