Chapter 3
" Your Highness, there's someone here to see you ." one of Hotohori's advisors told him early the next morning.
" Tell them we'll see them tomorrow we have some very important business to attend to today." Hotohori replied.
" But your Highness, they said it's urgent," his advisor said weakly.
" Were any villages attacked?"
" No."
" Then we shall be showing the Suzaku No Miko around today."
" Yes, your Highness." He said as bowed and walked away.
~~~~~~~~ with the visitor ~~~~~~~~
" I'm sorry, but his majesty will not be able to see you today, he will see you tomorrow though, Lord Tamahome. He's with the Suzaku No Miko, Lady Khai, right now." The advisor told Tamahome.
" That's why I'm here, this Lady Khai disappeared along with her friend Kiki a couple of hours ago in the other world, and then Suzaku called me back." He grabbed the collar of the advisors robes and lifted him off the ground, "Now tell me where my daughter is right now!"
" Your Daughter!?" he gasped.
" Yes, she's my daughter, now where is she?!"
" S.She's .She's in the Emperor's chambers." He stuttered.
When Tamahome heard this he was even angrier than before. While running down the hallway to Hotohori's room he thought to himself, ' First Miaka and now Khai, what is it with him and the Suzaku No Miko?
~~~~~~~~ In Hotohori's room ~~~~~~~~
Hotohori looked at the sleeping Khai, from a chair by the fireplace, and saw the resemblance between her and her mother ' I wonder if Tamahome and Maika stayed together, and if he's Khai's father? But then if the Suzaku No Miko is here that means that Tamahome has to come back sooner or later. Well in this case, I hope its later.' He thought as he moved closer to the bed, when he got close enough, so that he could look down on her, he knelt down beside her and put his lips to hers.
~~~~~~~~ with Tamahome ~~~~~~~~
When Tamahome reached Hotohori's chambers the sight that met his eyes, was one he thought he'd never see. Hotohori was kissing his daughter and her arms were wrapped around his neck as if she were to let go she would surely die. Tamahome was seeing red, her ran in and grabbed Hotohori by the collar of his robes [habit forming isn't he?] and slammed him into a near by wall, "What the hell do you think your doing?!" he yelled.
Khai was catapulted out of the nice warm dream by a loud slam and a voice shouting, coming from near by. She sat straight up in the bed and stared at the scene in front of her." Tamahome-papa? What are you doing here?!" she asked nearly yelling.
Tamahome wasn't listening, though he was still punching Hotohori in the stomach, and was about to deal a pretty painful blow, when a small form popped out of thin air.
" NO DA!" it yelled.
" AHHH! Deranged squirrel!!!" Tamahome yelled.
" Don't worry Tamahome. It's only Chichri." Hotohori gasped as Tamahome let him fall to the ground.
" Tamahome-papa, what are you doing here?" she asked quietly.
' Why can't she just call me dad, daddy, papa, or even father? It's always Tamahome-papa, like I'm not her real father.' He thought to himself before answering her question. " I was summoned here by Suzaku, we were going crazy in our world trying to find you and Kiki! But that's beside the point. Hotohori what is she doing in your room anyway?
" I had a dream." Khai sated timidly.
" Khai everyone has dreams!" Tamahome stated sourly.
Silent tears started flowing down her down her cheeks. " Yes, but not like this." She stated sadly and ran out of Hotohori's room to go find Kiki. While she was running she ran right into the person she was looking for and they both fell backwards.
" Khai is that you? I've been looking all over for you, I was getting worried about you! You weren't in your room this morning when I brought u your breakfast." She told her softly.
" I'm sorry, but I had another dream last night." She said timidly.
" There getting worse aren't they."
" Yes." Was all Khai said, then she up and walked to the garden as Kiki followed silently behind her.
~~~~~~~~ in the garden ~~~~~~~~
when Khai passed a bench Kiki grabbed her hand and pulled her down to sit next to her. " Come on Khai, you told me about all the other dreams. Please tell me about this one." She pleaded.
" Alright," Khai said, "I was near a reflecting pool meditating, when all of a sudden, a spray of water hit me and broke my concentration, but even before I opened my eyes I could see a blue light. When I did open them, the face of a marvelous blue dragon was looking back at me with pain in it's flame-like eye. When I finally broke my gaze with it I saw the worst thing imaginable.
