Chapter 7
Kimiko gets left behind
"AAAAAAAAHHHH!"
* SPLASH *
* SPLASH *
* SPLASH *
* SPLASH *
The two Suzaku seishi, miko and Kimiko were dropped unceremoniously into the Kutou Palace's garden pond.
"Chichiri!" all three glared at the mage.
" Whaaat no da! You said not to land us in a tree no da. Gomen no da!"
~Kimiko~
Crap. Instead of landing us in a tree he lands us in a pond. Itaii…. The impact sure hurts.
"Daijoubu ka minna-san?"
"Daijoubu" My comrades chorused quietly.
Looking around I saw Tasuki was the first one to get out of the pond. * evil smile *
"Tasukiiiii that was really fast how you got out of the pond."
"Uhh…." Tasuki had no answer with a stricken look on his face. (A/N: Why am I so mean? I love Tasuki yet I torture him lol)
* laughs * "Tasuki…."
In the clearing I saw Yui walking up to us. Uh oh how did she find us? Were we that noisy? If Yui is here that means Nakago is close behind. If things were still going to happen like in the show I better get Chichiri and Tasuki out of here first then Miaka and I can have backup.
Miaka like loveable idiot she is ran to Yui embracing her babbling incoherently while from my position I could see that Yui was smiling coldly. That spelt trouble. Inching towards Chichiri the words "get yourselves out of here now" kept ringing in my head.
Chichiri stared at me then nodded understanding my intentions. Then I heard the sound of a harsh stinging slap on skin. My eyes focused on the two girls. Miaka was on the ground holding her stinging red cheek while Yui smiled triumphantly. She then went on to say how she would not let Miaka take Tamahome and that Tamahome was hers. Tasuki was about to lunge at Yui but I grabbed his hand and gripped it tightly making sure he didn't.
As soon as Nakago and his small army arrived surrounding us I nodded discreetly at Chichiri. He grabbed Tasuki and teleported to safety. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Tasuki struggling nevertheless disappearing.
I pulled Miaka up and had her stand behind me. Only then did Yui take notice of me.
"Who are you?" she sneered and turned towards Miaka. "Another of your pathetic seishi? I see the other two have escaped."
Nakago had an impassionate mask on his face as he answered Yui's question while I said nothing narrowing my eyes. " Yui-sama as our sources has told us that she is from another world and is an oracle."
"No matter. Capture both of them Nakago."
"Yui-sama, I would like to keep the oracle for questioning."
At that my eyes grew slightly wider and Miaka gripped my arm in a death grip.
I turned to Miaka and whispered that I will be fine. Though I knew that I may not be if Nakago happened to want to use me or kill me. Damn I should have known this was gonna happen. Amiboshi must have told him but of course that must have been a must.
~Tasuki~
"K'so Chichiri that Nakago bastard is taking Kimiko! We gotta save her!" I whispered harshly.
We were now on a tree hidden from view but we were viewing what is happening with our miko and Kimiko. Why did Kimiko ask us to go? Two valuable women left in the clutches of the enemy is definitely trouble. If that asshole hurts Kimiko I swear I will kill him.
~Chichiri~
How did Kimiko know telepathy? I could hear her projecting her thoughts telling me to get us out of there quickly. There was urgency in her eyes and I understand her reason. It would be futile for all four of us to be captured. We have the powers so she must want us to save them later.
Demo…now Nakago captures her. We must have faith in her. Suzaku keep her and Miaka safe.
~Nakago~
Seiryuu it is she. She's the one I saw so many years ago. The one who gave me a sliver of hope but that was crushed after she disappeared. What is she doing here? Is she the one you request for Seiryuu?
Wakkata…. I will do as you ask.
********************
Nakago walked off holding Kimiko captive. Kimiko knew that she could not struggle. Nakago could kill her on the spot if he wanted so she walked with a stiff back and her head held high.
@In Nakago's Chambers@
~Kimiko~
"What do you want with me?" I asked evenly.
The only way I won't start freaking out is to keep myself detached and pissed. Okay work on that, now to get some answers.
Nakago is silent just staring at me expressionless but with a hint of disbelief. He ignored what I had asked.
"What do you want with me?" I repeated slowly boiling inside.
"You know the future don't you? You should know." He taunted me quietly.
@Kutou Palace Dungeon@
Miaka looked around feeling a bit unnerved. They brought her kicking into the dungeon of Kutou. It was dark and damp. She looked around seeking escape but saw none.
* CLANG *
The metal bar doors were locked and slammed shut leaving Miaka inside. Miaka plopped onto the cold grimy dungeon floor thinking for escape. The thought of giving up never crossed her mind because she had to find Tamahome her love.
~Miaka~
Yui-chan why…. What happened to you? I will save you and Tamahome! Wait for me. Now I just have to get out of here. What can I use? Hmn…. Womanly wiles. I can use that! I have plenty of that. ^_^
***************
Miaka seductively moaned bringing the guard on duty very quickly to her cell. The guard blushed as Miaka trailed her fingertips up her thigh.
"Mr. Guard, my thigh hurts mmm help me rub it, onegai…." She moaned again. The guard was practically having a nosebleed.
Eagerly he ran inside the cell to do hentai things to Miaka but she managed to knock him out and run out of the cell. What can I say guards in Kutou are pathetic.
She wandered around the palace while news of her escape reaches Yui's ears. Yui made a plan to lure Miaka.
Miaka caught a whiff of the smell of delicious food and she walked towards the smell, which unfortunately was where Yui was.
@Back at Nakago's Chambers@
~Kimiko~
"You know the future don't you? You should know." Vibrated throughout my brain.
K'so. How am I supposed to know? All I know is that Nakago is a bad-assed shogun that wants to be a god. I only know what I saw in the anime.
"What do you know about my future? All the seishi and mikos future?" he menacingly inquired. "Why don't you tell me?"
"Nakago. All you want is to seek revenge don't you? Why? I know about your past too. I also probably am able to understand your bad assed attitude."
His icy blue eyes glinted and I found myself slammed against a wall with him holding me there painfully as he gripped my shoulders.
"I could kill you right now. So why are you tempting me to do it." He asked dangerously.
What possessed me to answer back I don't know. All I did know was that why should traumatised people be shunned? Its not their fault that fate had a way of working against you. Nakago had horrible things done to him at a young age. His counter attack was to have revenge and to close himself off to possible warmth from other people. I have done similar things, in a different way but the aim was the same.
"You aren't bad Nakago. Sure you seek revenge for what you did in the past. I can understand that. Who wouldn't if they knew what happened and how you felt. You will understand someday that not everyone is bad. Some…mmph"
Invading lips pressed hard against mine cut me off. Shocked I did nothing but my eyes wildly darted around. It lasted for only about 3 seconds before I summoned my strength to push him off.
"Shut up. You said the same thing to me before. You look exactly the same as last time. Where did you go?"
I rubbed my lips and angrily said, "What the hell are you talking about?"
His eyes glazed over as he realised I had no idea what he was talking about. He then coldly reprimanded me.
"You don't remember?"
"Remember what?"
He didn't answer. All went black after a chi blast was issued from his hand too quick for me to dodge.
****************
@Yui's room@
Miaka sneaked into the room and saw dozens of delicious food on platters. As she was about to grab some food Yui appeared out of the shadows and smirked.
~Miaka~
"Yui-chan!"
"Hello Miaka. You are so stupid. I know your weakness and your stupidity. It is so easy to trap you. Sit down and eat."
We sat down to eat and I was still astounded at how cold Yui was.
Yui was pissed even a baka like me can see that.
"I will never return Tamahome to you. He is mine and he loves me. You are a stupid baka, Miaka. I thought you came back to see and help me. I waited and still believed that you would come and help me. Do you know what I went through?" Yui paused.
I tried to tell her I didn't betray her and I did come back for her.
"Yui-chan I did try to hel…."
Yui continued not giving me a chance and ignoring me.
"No you don't! You only think about your selfish self! You had me believing that you came back to help me and save me but all along you came back to see your beloved Tamahome! You betrayed me! And now he is MINE!"
At that moment Tamahome walked in into the room in new and different clothes. Tamahome!
"Tamahome you're safe!" I hugged him happily for he was safe. Then I sensed something was wrong.
******************
Tamahome roughly shoved Miaka away. He took out his new weapon (nun-chucks) and struck her. Miaka was bewildered and cringed in fear at her beloved. She heard a crack and knew her arm was broken. She didn't feel the pain because she was numb with hurt.
"You are disgusting. Don't TOUCH me!" Tamahome growled.
Tamahome attempts to hit her again but he misses knocking one of Miaka's ribbons out of her hair.
~Miaka~
Iie… Iie… IIEE! This is not Tamahome. Tamahome…. What happened to you? What did they do to you?
I saw nothing but the horrible twisted smile on his face. Kutou guards came in to take me away but I was numb. I only could see that smile replaying in my head over and over again.
*****************
Miaka was led out of the room to the dungeon but on the way Nakago who is actually Chichiri intercepted them. That freaked out Miaka. She momentarily forgot about the tearing at her heart and her broken arm at the joy of seeing Tasuki and Chichiri. (A/N: Gomen minna-san you all know what happens here and it sorta happens exactly the same as in the show so I'll just skim over these parts)
When asked about her injury she lied saying she fell down not wanting to tell her seishi that her love did this to her. Chichiri left Tasuki and Miaka to look for Tamahome still in Nakago form, which makes it safer for him to scout the Kutou Palace.
Meanwhile the love note left by Tamahome fell out of Miaka's pocket and Miaka took off after tying Tasuki to a pillar with the thought of changing her love Tamahome's mind and making him remember her. (A/N: poor Gen-chan!) She raced off cradling her arm towards the proposed meeting place.
Chichiri's cover was blown when he crossed paths with the real Nakago who was holding an unconscious Kimiko in his arms. Not knowing what to do he acted on instincts.
~Chichiri~
Kimiko is unconscious in Nakago's arms. What am I going to do! Trust your instinct was what Taiitskun always said. Not caring what happened I made to take Kimiko away from him.
In the blink of an eye I had grabbed Kimiko out of his arms and sprinted away. All was done in 8 seconds flat. (A/N: I know I know its unbelievable but lets just say he is a fast runner and also that adrenaline was fuelling him)
**************
Nakago was taken aback at looking at a mirror image of himself. Only when Kimiko was snatched from his arms did he realise that it was a Suzaku seishi.
He smirked. There was a barrier blocking all the Suzaku seishis' powers. They won't get far. He knew where the four where heading to and sent Tamahome to the meeting place to destroy them.
@Under the Big Tree (Meeting place)@
Miaka was waiting under the tree anxiously.
~Miaka~
I hope he comes. He will I am sure of it. Remember me onegai….
Strong arms wrapped themselves around me. I gasped turning around and coming face to face with Tamahome. Tears of happiness formed in the corners of my eyes.
He apologised saying, "Gomen Miaka, I had to pretend I was with them. But now I am back. Where are Chichiri and Tasuki?"
My eyes grew wide.
"You….you….you aren't Tamahome. Tamahome didn't even know Tasuki."
"I see you have found out" He sneered. "You're not at stupid as you look."
Backing away I shook my head in denial. I felt the note in my pocket. I pulled it out and shoved it at him.
"Tamahome! Remember me onegai! Look at the note it says you love me!"
Tamahome stared at the note and ripped it into itty-bitty pieces just like he ripped my heart apart.
"I love no one except for Yui-sama"
"Iiieeee…. What happened to the Tamahome I loved! He is gone forever!" I sobbed collapsing.
***************
Miaka collapsed and Tamahome was about to strike her but Tasuki whisked her away taking the blow on his back.
Chichiri and a now conscious and injured Kimiko held Miaka who blacked out from the emotional damage. Tasuki was boiling mad. You could see his fiery aura getting brighter. He may not have powers because of the barrier but he was determined to fight. Remembering that Kimiko struggled to get up to stop him.
~Kimiko~
"TASUKIIII YADA!! DON'T FIGHT! THAT IS NOT THE REAL TAMAHOME! HE IS BEIING CONTROLLED! YAMERO!" I hollered.
Pain shot through me on my side as I struggled to stand up. Nakago had hit me with a ki-blast strong enough to knock me out but not strong enough to kill me. I am sure that is no accident.
Tasuki paid no heed to my warning and jumped into the fight furiously. His eyes blazing in anger he attacked.
First things first this is no time to worry about Tasuki. He can hold out for now. I just hope he won't kill himself because he came damn close to that in the anime. Suzaku protect him. I silently prayed.
"Chichiri take Miaka and hide. Tama is somewhere in your kasa. Use Tama to get help from everyone else back at the palace. Speak through Tama and get Chiriko to break the barrier with his flute. Nakago will show up soon and he will try to kill Miaka! Hayaku!" I spoke clipped with urgency.
Chichiri hurried to comply while I stood guard to make sure if Nakago comes he will have to go through me first. The fight was very intense and every time Tasuki got hit I cringed.
Tasuki was slammed against the trunk of a thick tree very near where I was standing. He wasn't moving and Tamahome was about to strike him again. My side was still in pain but I manage to pull Tasuki out of the way and Tamahome struck wood.
"Get out of here quick!" Tasuki ordered me before jumping up.
Tamahome with evil looking eyes attacked again. Tasuki jumped up to defend the both of us.
********************
Nakago lifted the barrier blocking Suzaku's power as he thought it would be more interesting to see Tasuki with his seishi power.
~Tasuki~
I will protect Miaka and Kimiko from these bastards! Tamahome you will pay for hurting Miaka and Nakago you will die for injuring Kimiko
~Kimiko~
I have to get them out of here!
"Chichiri! Get out of here! HAYAKU!" I yelled because I saw Nakago appearing. Tasuki was trying to fry Tamahome but Tamahome dodges. Miaka had woken up and was begging Tasuki not to hurt Tamahome.
Nakago appeared and I saw his hand held up pointing towards Tasuki and a blue ball was forming. Tasuki will be seriously wounded if he ki-blasts him. Well I am not going to let that happen!
I can see he is going to release the ki-ball. Block it block it I kept chanting. A split second the ki-blast was issued I flung myself in front of it.
UNNGH! The pain is blinding white flame. The ki-blast had caught me on my upper chest.
I can see Tasuki with fiery rage in his eyes. Both Tamahome and Tasuki were blown back by the blast. I know that Tasuki will try to come and get me but there is no time! He is weak and on the verge of collapsing.
I am not unconscious yet I still have enough strength.
"CHICHIRI! GET OUT OF HERE! GRAB TASUKI AND GO WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME!" I cried.
I know Chichiri would carry out my request. I still saw Tasuki trying to come for me.
I could feel the strength seep out of me as I bled on the grass. Feeling desperation rise up I felt something bubbling up from within me. I didn't know what I was doing but a blue tinged with red light came formed within my hand and I felt my arm lifting itself and then the light shot towards Tasuki blowing him back towards Chichiri. He went unconscious.
My vision got blurry as I saw Chichiri cradling the unconscious Tasuki and Miaka weeping quietly as she said to Tamahome "Sayonara" in a crimson barrier a sign of Suzaku's power. A split second later they disappeared.
Things worked out just like the anime but I knew they were safe. Then I went spiralling into darkness. I felt no pain just darkness. Maybe this was what it was like to die.
********************
Nakago picked the severely injured Kimiko and saw Tamahome crying. He thought disbelievingly. Is Tamahome's love for the Suzaku no miko really stronger than the kodouku?
~Nakago~
I looked down at Kimiko's pale (from blood loss) face. She has acquired a few deep cuts on her face from my ki-blast that was meant for Tasuki.
Her powers are strong I can feel it. Seiryuu I am holding your grandchild, a goddess by right in my arms. I don't think she knows anything about her powers or her heritage. She will succumb to our side.
****************
In Konan questions arise in the seishis' heads concerning Kimiko. Especially Tasuki. Who was Kimiko actually?
