Nain stared at Amiboshi. Was he to baby-sit her until she was let free? Or were they going to let her go? Nain looked questioningly at Amiboshi, and repeated her question, daring to break the impending silence. He turned away from her.
"I haven't a clue....It's up to Nakago I guess." Nain detected a bit of some emotion in his voice. Was it pity? Or perhaps sorrow...or guilt. Nain couldn't tell, and Amiboshi looked back at her.
"But while you're here you're in the care of either me or Otoutu..Suboshi.. or me. And I'll try to take care of you or at least give you hospitable stay here." Nain smiled at him, and was delighted to see that he returned her smile. Her heart fluttered for a moment as he smiled at her. Nain looked away from him before she thought the thoughts that would come over her under normal circumstances. Nain was in no position to be thinking about Amiboshi in that way. Sure he was incredibly hot and so sweet, but this was not the predicament to be in when thinking about those thoughts.
"She looked back to Amiboshi and found that his gaze had not left her. "You smile," Amiboshi broke into her thoughts, "but I only see sadness in your eyes." Nain nodded and looked into his amber eyes.
"I'm afraid," Nain whispered. She felt an emotion stir that had lain dormant for years as her throat tightened. "We came here to save Miaka...now Yui and I are separated.." Nain got up and walked to the little window and rested her palms on the sill. Since her back was to him, Nain didn't notice that Amiboshi, too, looked sad.
"Nakago told Yui...." Nain waited for Amiboshi to continue. "He told her that you and Miaka had abandoned her, and he's saying to her that you're here now to sabotage the summoning of Seiryu. He's determined to implement those thoughts into knowledge in her head." Nain spun around.
"Why is he doing this?!" she cried. Nain pounded the windowsill and Amiboshi stayed silent offering no answer. He stood and Nain took no notice of him until she felt his arms wrap around her. Amiboshi pulled Nain to him and held her tight. Amiboshi pulled Nain to the bed and lowered their bodies slowly until they were sitting on the bed. Nain began to cry into Amiboshi and he merely held her.
Nain however, was ashamed for crying, even though Amiboshi didn't mind.

Salre looked around the room she was given by Tomite. He had said she'd be comfortable here and Salre hoped he was right. Now though, that wasn't what was traveling though Salre's head. The only thing she could think of was why. Why her? Why had she been brought to this world? Why was she not with Nain? Thoughts such as these ran through Salre's head quickly.
A soft knock sounded from her door.
**************************************************************************** *****
Suboshi opened the door of Nain's room to see if Amiboshi wanted a break to go eat or rest. He stopped in his place when he saw Nain and Amiboshi together on the bed. Nain was lying curled up with her head in Amiboshi's lap and Amiboshi was sitting crisscross playing his flute softly.
"Aniki!" Suboshi hissed in a whispered voice. He beckoned his brother out into the hall. "What are you doing?!"
Amiboshi answered truthfully and innocently. "She was so sad and she kept crying, so I thought I'd let her sleep and rest awhile so I was playing the flute to relax her.
"Well why was she lying in your arms? Or rather in your lap! That is so not like you Aniki. You don't' make moves like that."
"Otoutu!" Amiboshi was angry, but only for a minute. He could never stay mad at his little twin, and Amiboshi saw that Suboshi had also calmed down.
"I'm sorry, Aniki......it's just this whole damn mess with Nakago......and I think I feel things for Yui....things I shouldn't feel."
"I know what you mean. I feel trapped and contained by Nakago's control.......and I'm starting to feel for someone as well..." Suboshi held his breath and prayed that it was not Yui that his brother was referring to.
"I feel strongly for Nain......" Amiboshi said his last sentence in a whisper, but Suboshi still heard him.
"Aniki.....we shouldn't have feelings for them. These feelings are new, and we hardly know them..besides, we are warriors...of Seiryu...and that girl..she's the priestess of Byakko. Even if you did end up feeling for her, it wouldn't be allowed to be..even if she also felt for you. And Yui, she's also a priestess.....besides we have to much to worry about and we already have each other.."
Suboshi embraced his older in a hug. "I know, Otoutu....but I just..." Amiboshi's voice trailed off and he pulled away from Suboshi. "Even though we have each other....is that really all we need..."
"You're right, Aniki..."
Nain pushed herself into a sitting position and listened to the voices beyond the slightly opened door. No one was in the room, and Nain felt like calling out to Amiboshi. Then she remembered she had lain with him the night before and she felt her cheeks rise up in flames. Amiboshi opened the door and stepped back in the room to find Nain had awoken. Suboshi stepped forward from behind him.
"Nakago wishes to see you." He said and Amiboshi stepped out of the way as Suboshi led Nain away. But Amiboshi caught Nain's eyes, and she lingered a moment to see his bright eyes before following Suboshi.

Salre looked to the door and it began to creak open. Tomite appeared and was followed by a large man. Tomite nodded a greeting and the man bent in his waist slightly. Tomite introduced this other man as Hikitsu. He was a very polite man, and Salre quickly made mental note of that. They sat in chairs across from her spot on the bed.
"You will not have to worry about gathering your seven constellations of Genbu, Lady Salre," Tomite said softly.
"We will find them all for you," Hikitsu added. Salre stood and walked to the window. Tomite continued with what he intended to say.
"We will make things as simple for you as possible, seeing as how you are here, not by choice, but by consequential actions." Tomite paused. "And I think we will leave you with your thoughts." He said in response to the silence of Salre. He stood and followed the already leaving Hikitsu. He stopped however when he felt Salre's arms wrap around his waist quickly in an embracing hug. Tomite was shocked, until he heard sobs coming form behind him. Salre was crying softly, and he heard a mumbled "Thank you" come from behind him. Salre dropped her arms and stepped back and kept her gaze fixated on the floor.
Tomite turned to look at her and bent slightly to take his turn embracing the priestess. "Anything for our priestess," Tomite whispered before brushing a light kiss of kindness over her cheek. Salre looked to him as he turned and exited the room with her eyes brimming with tears. Salre sat back down and began, once again, to dwell upon thoughts that should never have become awoken.
