Nain looked past Suboshi to the town. She saw nothing, though, and knew that something was wrong.Suboshi, though he seemed cold and mean, had no reason to pull Nain around, or does he..Nain was confused..
Suboshi led her past many buildings and finally walked into one. Nain followed behind cautiously. He disregarded the man behind a bar that seemed to be the owner of this apparent tavern and inn. Nain followed as far from Suboshi as she could get. Nain was walking behind him and was lost in thought as she walked up the stairs. Being as clumsy as she sometimes was, her foot caught the stair and she fell to her knees. Suboshi heard her fall, and turned but had recovered before he could see that she had gone to her knees. He went on and Nain resumed to following him. He led her to a room and pushed her inside. Inside was Amiboshi and he was sitting alone on the bed.
"I'm sorry about my brother's rudeness...Nain," Amiboshi smiled at her. So he remembered my name.. "He's a little tense right now.." Nain began to ask why but stopped as the question formed on her lips. She was practically a prisoner..why would anyone tell her anything.
Amiboshi noticed her face was troubled. "We brought you here at our 'master's' request." He said almost as if he read her thoughts. He continued to read out mind. "That's why my brother is so uptight. We don't like this man fairly much, but we have no choice.." Nain was still confused, and now even more so.
Nain forgot her confusion however, as she stared into Amiboshi's amber colored eyes. He was gazing right back into her own brown eyes, when the door opened.
A man dressed in a white robe and blue armor like things walked in in front of Suboshi. Suboshi glared at the man from behind and even Amiboshi showed, slightly, his discomfort with this man. But Nain was more confused. She recognized this man. He had given Yui and Nain money and water when they needed it most.
"You are a Miko," the man started. Nain looked at him in surprise for a moment, but then remembered her whole ordeal with the Universe of the Four Gods. Nain was tempted to ask, What Priestess am I... but a light came on in Nain's head as she recalled her dreams. Her dreams of the white tiger standing before her and unable to speak.
"Yes," Nain replied. "I am a priestess of Byakko." The man looked at her.
"Then you are in the wrong place. You are in the land of Seiryu. And I am the leader of the Seiryu Warriors."
"Self-proclaimed leader," Suboshi muttered under his breath. Nakago pretended not to hear and continued on.
"So you, Miko of Byakko, are our enemy." Nain looked from him to Suboshi, then to Amiboshi's amber eyes. To Nain's surprise, she could see hurt feelings in those amber eyes. For what reason, Nain was unsure, but she knew that they had not been there before.
Nain locked eyes with Amiboshi for a moment, before Nakago ordered Suboshi to take Nain to her "room" and to watch over her.
Suboshi silently did as he was told, and led Nain out of the room. He led Nain to another room and opened the door. This room was shabbier than the other, and it had no curtains and a bed that looked as if it were ready to fall apart. Nain sat in a chair next to the small table in a corner.
"Am I just supposed to be held prisoner here forever?" Nain questioned Suboshi. Suboshi shrugged his shoulders.
"Hell do I know. It's all up to that damn Nakago now. We have no say in anything." Nain looked at Suboshi with a little pity, and Suboshi glanced up just in time to catch that look. Suboshi's face softened as he turned his gaze out the window.
"Before Nakago found us, we were both happy. We have lived with each other for our entire existence, and we had been happy with the lives we had been living. But then our priestess came and Nakago found us. We have stayed in one place for far too long, and we have been apart more than ever. But I guess we'll have to get used to that now."
Nain wanted to ask who the priestess of Seiryu was, but she held her tongue. She wanted to get on Suboshi's better side and she would not do that by asking questions. Nain stayed silent, too, because she felt that this was the shortened version of Suboshi and Amiboshi's story. She wanted to know what had happened to them but didn't question anything.

The blue dragon was easily identified as Seiryu, even to Yui, who knew less about the legends than anyone. She, however, had the most courage. She walked right up to Seiryu and whispered in his dragon ears, "Why have you chosen me?"
"You are special, and we need to be delivered by you. We know that you will bring us victory over the South." Yui nodded slightly and a bit hesitantly.
"I just want to find my friends. Miaka is here, and I want to go home.." Seiryu stopped her. He began to change from his form as a dragon and turned to a man of blue hair and pale skin. He was fully armored in colors of blue and purples, and it looked as if he were going into a battle.
"Seiryu?" Yui asked cautiously.
He nodded to her quickly. "Now, Yui, do as Nakago says, for he knows what I wish. Now go," he said I in a commanding as he slowly started to disappear. She didn't bother to try and stop him, she had no desire to. All she really wanted to do was find Miaka.
"But Miaka betrayed you, and left you to be raped and killed.." Yui awoke with a start at the voice she heard. Nakago sat on the edge of her bed and was leaning slightly forward towards her.
"Miaka betrayed you," he repeated.
Yui only stared at him, and didn't think he really knew what he was doing, and she wondered why Seiryu had such trust in him. Yui found herself caught in a predicament, now, and was trapped, and she knew it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nain lay down on her frail bed a while later and stared at the ceiling. Her thoughts went from Miaka to Yui and finally to Salre. She thought about Salre and wanted to figure out where she was, if she was here. But her thoughts didn't want to cooperate with her, as her thoughts drifted once again to those eyes that were now etched into her mind. Those beautiful amber eyes
