***Note From Author-I'm tired. That is all, my minions. Oh yeah and I don't own any of Christina Agualaira's song, so yeah, she's a slut, but the song just fit the moment, so bye.

Hamatsu stood there for moment staring at them. Tears whelling up in her eyes. Then she was hit with a realization and said smiling softly "If that is what you wish, then you can discuss this with my husband, you pompous, arrogant, over-grown, dodo birds. Ta ta." And with that special goodbye Hamatsu walked back to her room.
Hamatsu walked in and saw Yoshiko, Hawa, Kaniele, Miaka, and Miyoko in her room sitting all on the bed laughing and drinking sake'. When they spotted Hamatsu they all yelled in unison "HA-CHAN, JOIN US!" Hamatsu ran and jumped on the bed. She started to reach for the Sake' when Miyoko blocked her and shook her finger at Hamatsu and slurred "Your...still..underage..RE-memeber." But somewhere along the line Hamatsu aprehended it.
When Hotohori came in his armor and noticed the six almost drunk girls laughing and having a good time. All he did was excuse the others with a certain seriousness about him. He waved away the stench of liquor away from his nose as the five girls passed him to leave the room. Hamatsu came up to him and whispered in his ear "I didn't tell you the first time I saw you in your armor because I was supposed to be a guy, but you look reaaaally hot in your armor. It makes me want you reaaaally bad right now." She laughed quietly to herself as she played with some of the tassles and stuff on the armor.
He grabbed her hands and kissed them as he looked deep into her eyes and said "I know you are drunker than a monk on Sunday, but my dear, understand this. Kutou has nearly times the size of their army by five. And I must go and join my troops. But before I go and know I could possibly leave this world. I will tell you the truth about Houki. We met before you had first come to this world. The advisors were concerned with the lack of heir, so they suggested I marry one of the women in the harem. We were to be married, then I met you and you turned my world around and I called off the marriage between me and Houki. I was prepared to go even to your world with you, even end my life. I would have...no, I would still do anything to make you happy."
Hamatsu turned her back in order to hide her tears from him "I'm sorry....I'm sorry I can't be her. I'm sorry I can't be a good empress. I'm sorry I can't even make you love me. Most of all I'm sorry I can't be Houki. I hate her because you loved someone once, who was the complete opposite of.......me. I can't compare to her. She's pretty, passive aggressive, looks like the gay guy who was in love with you, would make perfect wife and empress, and just all-around perfect."
Hotohori hugged her from behind resting his chin on her shoulder, so his lips were barely touching her ear. He said to her in his quiet, understanding, steady way "No one can ever make you think that I do not love you. Not even yourself. And when I go off to war though I can't be here with you physically my heart will be right here by your side and it will never leave. I have prayed to Suzaku for your safety and......that you will remain by my side always even it means me becoming a ordinary pauper. I would give up all my beauty and riches for you."
He forced her to turn around to face him. They stared into eachother's eyes for awhile.
But before they could kiss eachother. One of the soldiers came in to report something and Hamatsu screamed at him "WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE KNOCK? YOUR ALWAYS INTERUPTING THESE REALLY ROMANTIC MOMENTS BETWEEN ME AND MY MAN. COULD YOU NOT SEE THAT WE WERE ABOUT TO SHARE A KISS? NOW GO BACK OUT AND TRY AGAIN!" Hotohori looked at her with a strange glare and whispered "My dear, we shall finish this later, but keep that forcefulness upon your angelic face."
Hamatsu got all frustrated and giggly and ordered him to get out. As he left she blew a raspberry at the two of them left. Hamatsu noticed her cd player that she had brought with her from her world. She looked inside it and saw Christina Agualaira's first cd and thought "Well, its not Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, or even J-pop, but it does suit my mood."
She started to sing aloud with her cd player;
"Oh yeah-yeah, Oh yeah-yeah.......Oooh yeah....Hey there boy, did you happen to know wherever you go I follow like a cool breeze on a summer's day. When your near me, I don't know what to do. I feel like a fool like a school girl...true blue girl. Who wants to know can you come out an play. You make me feel the way a woman's is supposed to feel. So let me show you...show you....my love's for real....I'll be the rain in your summer, the chill in your fall. I'll be want, anything at all.I got a love for all seasons. A love for all time...I'll be the fire in you winter. The sun in your spring. I'll do what you. Give you everything. I got a love for all seasons....A love for all time...I'll be there for you. Keeping you warm through the storm. I'll guide you, stand by you.Till the stars fall from the sky. Wooooooaaah yeah....when you call me. I never hestitate, makin you wait for my love...everlasting.It something I just can't deny. Somehow, I gotta let you know.....this love's for you...I'll be the rain in your summer, the chill in your fall. I'll be want, anything at all.I got a love for all seasons. A love for all time...I'll be the fire in you winter. The sun in your spring. I'l do what you. Give you everything. I got a love for all seasons....A love for all time...Baby...you don't have to search no more. You don't have to change cause what I got inside for you is all your gonna need.Oh...Oh yeah-yeah, Oh yeah-yeah.......Oooh yeah....You don't have to search no more. My heart is yours. For real, for sure. You don't have to wonder why. I'll never leave, I'll never lie..."
Hamatsu stopped singing and thought "Oh my god, but I am lying to him.......about my age." Her deep thought was interupted by clapping noises. It was Hotohori and he was smiling, but Hamatsu could still detect pain in his eyes when he said "That was a beautiful song you were singing just now, dear. When I come back you must sing it for me again. I came in here to tell you that I am leaving now, along with mostly every male being who can still fight leaving the advisors here to help you run the country in my absence. In case of my death running Konan will be your duty. That is what I have ruled."
Hamatsu asked panically "Isn't the heir supposed to do that?" He smiled at her and led her to the bed. He sat her down and said smiling "Yes, my dear, but we are considerably lacking that and I am sure you know there is only one way to get an heir."

Chibi Miyoko chased chibi Tamahome and yelled "MORON! FOOL! DOLT! IDIOT! STUPIDHEAD! BAKAAAAAA!" She fell to her knees and shook her fist at him. He walked back over to her and squatted in front of her panting "I'm sorry....I have to go. The only people not going to the war is the geezers, babies, and advisors of Hotohori. Thats because those people are just useless now..oh yeah and all the woman, but thats just self explanatory." Miyoko pushed him and he grabbed her arm, so she fell down with him.
Miaka came in at that exact moment Miyoko was lying on top of Tamahome and said Please if you're gonna do 'that', go in your own room." Tamahome and Miyoko scrambled to their feet. Miyoko explained "It's not what it looks like. I pushed him and he pulled me down with him." chibi Tamahome yelled "WE'RE MARRIED AREN'T WE? THEN WHY CAN'T WE BE ABLE TO SHOW OUR AFFECTIONS IN PUBLIC, LIKE YOU AND AMIBOSHI?!?" Miyoko looked over at him in shock and then walked over to Miaka and she confirmed it was true.
Miyoko got a look upon her face and exclaimed "WHOOT!!! So, there's no hard feelings about me and Tamacakes here then?" Miaka nodded with a big smile on her face as she said "Y'know know why Yui really went back to Kutou? It's either of Suboshi asking her to or her wanting to see him."
Hotohori walked out of the room and annouced they were all leaving. All the palace guards, everyone man that was still able to fight was leaving. Hamatsu stood in the doorway and said to Hotohori "You are to come back in three months. All four of us, me, you, Miyoko and Tamahome are all going back to my world, which will be two days there. But one last time we are going back for my mom's funeral."
