Salre felt her hands tingle and looked down to her hands. A green light came over her and she found herself blinded. She closed her eyes tightly and counted to three slowly before opening her eyes. She found herself by a lake and a guy with a hat on was sitting not too far from her. He had seen her appear and he knew who it had to be. He had experienced this process before.
"Are you from the other world?" he asked her from where he sat. Salre looked over to him.
"Other world?" Salre's short light brown hair blew before her face. She looked around her. "Where am I, exactly..?"
"China. Bei-Jia. But I don't understand..we aren't at war..why is our priestess here.."
"Miko? Who are you.?" Salre was very confused.
"I am Tomite, and I am a warrior of Genbu. You are our priestess." Salre looked at him in confusion. What's going on?
Salre turned from Tomite and threw her head to the sky. "NAIN!"

Yui awoke and looked around her. She was lying in a soft bed, and was sore. "What happened..." Yui muttered to herself. Yui widened her eyes as her memory worked and she remembered being grabbed. She remembered having her shirt torn off at one point and her crying for Miaka. But Miaka hadn't come..She's probably on the other side of the world...or somewhere far away... A man came into her room and saw that she was awake.
Yui looked in his arms and saw her clothes. She was dressed in a robe, currently.
"What did you do to me?" Yui asked pulling her blanket tight around herself.
"I saved you," he answered. He had a white cloak on that fell over one of his shoulders, and blue and white armor and cloth underneath. Yui recognized him as the man who had given her and Nain water when they had been here previously.
"Who are you, then?"
"I am Nakago. I am one of the Warriors of Seiryu."
"What is Seir....wait...that's the God that Nain read about in that incantation..." Nakago looked at Yui strangely, before turning away.
"You are the priestess of Seiryu. So you have to stay with me and find the warriors," Nakago said curtly.
Well, fine...as long as you don't do what those men did...

Miaka felt something; a flash inside her. Yui? Miaka could feel her presence, but only for a moment.
Nuriko looked at Miaka strangely, noticing the distant worried look in her eyes. Nuriko said nothing, however, for they were now moving towards the city. Miaka wanted to break the silence, but she was preoccupied. After she had felt Yui, another flash had come, but Miaka didn't know who it had been.
Nuriko was talking in undertones to Hotohori, and Tamahome was silent. They came to the city entrance and Nuriko and Hotohori went ahead of Miaka and Tamahome telling them to come in a little while.
Miaka was walking ahead of Tamahome so that a person wouldn't be able to tell that they were with each other. Miaka felt something in her stomach and felt hands grab her shoulders. She was thrown down and Tamahome rushed to her. He threw a hard punch and it connected with the guy who had thrown Miaka. This time Miaka looked at Hotohori as he beat these guys. The symbol appeared on his forehead.
The symbol was red a fiery.and Miaka knew that it was the mark of Suzaku. Any doubts Miaka had previously had were now gone. Tamahome finished beating up the men that had attacked Miaka. He saved me twice now..Miaka was surprised and confused.
"You need to be more careful," Miaka's heart skipped a beat as Tamahome stared at her with genuine care in his eyes. Miaka shook her head and looked away from Tamahome. He made her feel funny, and Miaka didn't like it.
"Let's go," Miaka said quickly. "Hotohori and Nuriko may be worried about us.." Miaka stood and began walking the way she thought looked like the way to go. Tamahome went behind her and put his arms around her neck.
"Wrong way," he whispered in her ear. "That's why you need someone to take care of you here, Miaka." Miaka stood still and stiff. She didn't know how to react to Tamahome's action, so Miaka merely stood there.
"Tamahome," she whispered. She was feeling uncomfortable being held like that by Tamahome. She hardly knew him. Tamahome rested his head on Miaka's and she took a step from him.
"Let's go, Tamahome," Miaka said commandingly as she turned to Tamahome. She didn't look at him however, and waited fro him tot lead the way. Tamahome stood still only a moment longer before heading towards Hotohori's palace.

Nain sat before the book, and the glow faded. She looked at the book in confusion, and flipped the pages. There should be one more.. Nain couldn't find it..Is the last priestess not needed? Maybe they only need so many for now... Nain pushed the book away from her.
"Damnit.!" Nain's fist connected with the floor. She put her forehead in her hands and closed her eyes. Yui..Miaka. Nain begged anything that would listen in her mind. She needed an answer from any God that would give it. Nain could see a tiger before her in her mind's eye, and it merely stood before her. Somehow, Nain's eye blinked and she didn't see the tiger for a moment. She heard something rustle before she opened her eyes. The tiger was gone and the book was in her immediate reach again.
She looked at the book, and saw that the page she had been searching for was now open. She read the incantation in the book and waited. Nain crossed her fingers, hoping she was the one that would be taken. Nain felt her skin warm up and a white light engulfed her. Nain closed her eyes and opened them again when she felt sand beneath her. Nain recognized the same place she had landed before.
A hand grabbed her shoulder from behind and she swung around quickly. She recognized the face. "Suboshi?" Nain wanted to make sure she was right. But she knew she was, because Amiboshi's face and eyes had been etched into her mind. He nodded curtly in response, and pulled her to stand.
"You have to come with me." Suboshi said with authority in his voice. Nain questioned nothing and merely followed Suboshi to the town that she saw in the distance..
