Chapter 8
SEIRYUU? Are you sure?
@Back in Konan@
Miaka cried in Hotohori's arms while Chichiri gave Hotohori an account of Kutou mission and also the loss of Kimiko. Tasuki was sent to a room while Mitsukake healed Miaka then regenerated his powers.
~Hotohori~
"Chichiri are you sure what you've just told me is true? Kimiko is in the hands of our enemy, Tamahome is not coming back and Tamahome is the one who injured Miaka?"
Uso…. That must be why Miaka….
~Flashback~
Miaka had tears cascading down her porcelain cheeks clinging onto Hotohori.
" I told Tamahome goodbye"
~End Flashback~
How can this be! Kimiko told us Tamahome was controlled but really is there no way we can break the spell? Kimiko said that Miaka's love for him would be enough to break the spell!
Stopping his train of thoughts when Chichiri spoke up again.
***********************
"Heika-sama, There is something about Kimiko that we should be wary of. She apparently has some powers like telepathy and ki control. I do not know the extent of her powers yet. She did projected her thoughts when she wanted Tasuki and I to get ourselves out of there so as not to be captured when Miaka and herself were."
Chichiri paused then spoke thoughtfully.
"I could sense a strong amount of ki she had when she blew Tasuki back with a ki-blast. I could feel that she had not intended to hurt Tasuki but intended to make sure we escaped safely because she saw Tasuki was going to try and get her since she protected him by throwing herself in front of him when Nakago had tried to blast Tasuki. She was injured severely because she had received a particularly strong ki-blast, which was meant for Tasuki and she had been injured already. She may also be dead by now though I doubt she is. Demo…. What I cannot understand is why she also radiated Seiryuu's ki and why I didn't sense it."
Continuing after voicing his question.
"She apparently doesn't know that she had powers because when she used a ki-blast on Tasuki she had a disbelieving look on her face. I also felt no malice in her ki. Seiryuu seishi may also use her against us which is a fatal problem for us." (A/N: All right I know Chichiri is supposed to keep saying no da but it gets tiring typing that over and over again so just imagine it yourself that he does keep saying no da. Add it in yourself. Gomen for being lazy)
Hotohori absorbed what Chichiri said solemnly.
"She is indeed valuable to us and also fatal. The Seiryuu will not kill her as she holds the same value to us as to them. She would have never revealed and helped us if she was against us. I think we have to get her back as soon as possible once the injured are healed."
"Hai heika-sama"
~Chiriko/Amiboshi~
She hasn't revealed me and she is now in the hands of Nakago and injured. Though she is a threat to me I still feel for the hope that she is still alive and safe.
I better find out what is happening over in Kutou. I hope otouto is okay. I excused myself from the throne room.
Is oracle alive?
What is going over there?
Do we continue with the mission?
Waiting a while for a reply I was rewarded with a slight pain on my skin.
Oracle is alive though very injured.
Nakago has her unconscious..
Continue with the mission.
I am fine.
I smiled. My otouto knows me so well that I needed to be reassured that he is okay. I made my way to the Suzaku no miko's room to comfort her and to carry out my mission.
*********************
@Tasuki's room@
Tasuki lay on his bed looking up at the ceiling trying to recall what had happened before everything turned black.
~Tasuki~
I saw Kimiko as she flew in front of me then was knocked back from the force of the bastard's blast that was meant for me. I saw her worried tinged with relief expression when she pulled me out of the way when Tamahome tried to strike me. I saw her determined face to prevent me when she knew I was going to get her and her disbelief when the blue ki-ball formed in her palm then hit me.
Who was she anyway? Why blue ki? Does that mean she is from the Seiryuu bastards' side? If she were why was she encased in Suzaku's light when she was sent here. Why was she surprised at her powers? Why did we feel no threat from her? Why did she help us and protect me? Naze Naze NAZE!?
She protected us and sacrificed herself. Even if she is from the Seiryuu's side I hope she is okay because I…. I…. I what? Why do I feel the need to protect her… a need to make sure she is all right? Thinking about Nakago again I raged.
That Seiryuu bastard struck her twice. I can feel white-hot rage burning in hate for the blonde Seiryuu bastard. I can still see her pale face as she lay bleeding on the ground. If she dies that Seiryuu bastard shall die even quicker.
As images of a burnt and bloodied blonde Seiryuu seishi ran through my mind Mitsukake walked in. He firstly proceeded stoically but roughly in my opinion to dress my wounds. He couldn't heal them yet.
"ITAI TAI TAI ITAAAAAII! Not so rough! You are killing me!" I screeched.
"Three broken ribs, left arm and leg broken, multiple concussions and sprains. If you can live through that nothing I do will hurt you. I'll heal you when my power is regenerated." Mitsukake told him turning to leave.
"Matte…. What about Kimiko and Miaka? Tell me we didn't leave Kimiko there! Is she okay? Is Miaka okay? I am gonna fry some Seiryuu ass!" I growled.
"Kimiko is in the Seiryuu's hands. We still do not know whether she is alive or not but Chichiri says she is most likely alive as she is tough and that she is valuable to the Seiryuu as well as she is to us. I could only heal Miaka physically but I cannot heal her emotional damage."
"K'so! Kimiko warned us of Tamahome! She tried to steel us for the disappointment! And yet we still failed in bringing that bastard traitor back and lost Kimiko!"
I punched the wall next to me and winced regretting and remembering my injuries as they hurt like hell.
"Baka! You are in such a state and you are still trying to injure yourself further. Stop that and rest." He chided me.
Mitsukake walked out gravely leaving me with my thoughts of bloodied blonde shoguns and fried traitors.
**********************
Hotohori and the Suzaku seishi still had doubts about Kimiko but they trusted that she was not against them. Hotohori quickly made a decision and ordered Chichiri to try and get in touch with her as Chichiri said Kimiko had telepathy. This was also to find out whether she was alive. It was long distance so Chichiri was not to be disturbed, as he had to use up a lot of his ki.
@ At Kutou @
Kimiko currently is unconscious in Nakago's chambers. He was not in the room when Kimiko was waking up due to a voice in her head. She had been treated for her injuries but were not healed completely yet. It is still a mystery that she managed to heal quickly. Is she a seishi?
~Kimiko~
Everything is so dark. Just like my room at home.
~ Flash back~
Young Kimiko was shoved into her room after being slapped for idiocy when she had ran into her parents' room because she was scared of the dark and wanted a night light. Her siblings both had one while she didn't.
Sniffling a bit she curled up under her thin blanket and her bed was a thin mattress almost like a cloth.
"Kaa-san, Tou-san…. I am scared. Doko da?"
Nobody answered her naturally and she cried herself to sleep.
~End Flashback~
~Kimiko~
Is dying just like sleeping in the dark? I feel so cold. Nobody will come so why do I feel like someone is reaching out to me?
"Kimiko! Kimiko! Answer me no da! Can you hear me no da?" I heard a very high tiny voice.
Who is that?
Itaiii…. I feel like something is pounding on my skull.
"Kimiko! Are you there?" The voice came again.
I strained to hear it and I wondered.
"Chichiri?"
"Hai no da! Daijoubu ka?"
"I think so…. Everything hurts. Watashi doko? Why are you in my head? Am I dead? Wait let me try to open my eyes."
"Eto…. I don't think you are dead or else you wouldn't be able to do telepathy with me. I think you are somewhere in Kutou."
My eyes were heavy as I struggled to open them but blinding white light met me making everything seem blurry as I squinted.
When I finally registered what Chichiri had said I said curiously.
"Kutou? I should have known but telepathy? You sure this isn't just one of your mind tricks Chichiri? Wait why aren't I speaking with my mouth? Great I am delusional."
I sat up as quickly as my sore body would allow. My surroundings were still blurry but I managed to make out a blue surrounding. It seemed that I was in a simple but attractively decorated room. Big with the bed I am lying on.
"Okay so I am not dead but really injured. Itaiii…. I didn't think I would live through that. How is Tasuki?! Daijoubu ka? Oh wait why aren't I freaking out over this telepathy thing?"
"Tasuki is fine though in pain but he can handle it. Mainly he isn't thinking about himself but about you. That is another thing I would like to know. Why do you have powers? Are you a seishi?"
Breathing a sigh of relief I silently said "Yokatta" then coloured. Snapping back to focus, I replied.
"Powers? What powers? Oh and I don't think I am a seishi. Both Seiryuu and Suzaku have their own full set of seishi. Is Miaka all right?"
"She is heartbroken but I thought you said her love would be sufficient. I am still wondering why I don't feel threat from you and why I didn't sense that you had Seiryuu ki. I am glad that you don't seem to be against us though Nakago may try to turn you, resist ne?"
Remembering Nakago, Miaka and Tamahome and everything that happened I recalled what Miaka had done in the show!
"Chichiri! Chichiri! Go check on Miaka! Check on her now! Hayaku! She may not be in her room! If she isn't go to the lake! HAYAKU!" I felt dizzy and my heart pumped double time because I dreaded the thought that they would not be on time though they barely were in the show.
I could feel the connection break when Chichiri closed it and went to find Miaka. Seiryuu? Seiryuu ki? I have Seiryuu ki? Naze?
Looking down at myself, I see someone had nursed my wounds on my chest and side. I looked like a mummy from waist up though with blotches of dried blood that had soaked through the bandage. My light blue silk loose pants and shirt ensemble that Nuriko chose for me were bloodied. My shirt was hanging on a chair and I was wearing my pants only.
I caught a sight of my hair in the mirror across the room and it was messy and falling over my shoulders. My favourite red scrunchie nowhere to be seen. I kept thinking about Tasuki and I still hoped that he would get healed soon.
Meanwhile I need to get out of here who knows what Nakago will do with me and what Soi, Tomo, Miboshi, Ashitare and Suboshi…. AMIBOSHI! I need to see him. But I really need to get out of here. What if I don't get back to Konan in time for the ceremony? What if Tamahome has left already to kill Miaka! I'll follow him! I hope Chichiri and the rest will get to Miaka in time.
***********************
Kimiko pondered on how to get back to Konan and the possible reasons why she should have Seiryuu ki or even Suzaku ki for that matter. She knew now she had some sort of powers but she did not know the origin.
Nakago on the other hand was attending to matters at hand like Tamahome and also he was trying to figure out a plan to make Kimiko succumb to the Seiryuu side.
Kimiko got up from her spot on the bed slowly. She grabbed her bloodied shirt hanging from the chair and wore it on then intended to walk out the door.
Just as she had reached the door, the door swung open.
~Kimiko~
Shimatta! I was staring at a very solid armoured chest. I brought my gaze upwards to the face of the chest. Nakago…. K'so now how am I gonna get out of here!
"K'so"
"Going somewhere? Kimiko?"
How did Nakago know my name?
"Maybe I am. How you know my name must be by your spies."
"You're not going anywhere." He stated bluntly.
"I can and will and you won't stop me actually unless you kill me!"
Baka Kimiko! You are practically inviting him to kill you, you baka! Was that a wavering in his eyes? Nah must be my imagination. He looked away.
"I don't think you will make it out of here anyway in your condition." He said smugly.
I flushed. Okay don't show much anger though it is the truth. This guy is definitely planning to just annoy you.
"You really think that keeping me here is going to be effective? You know I won't talk to help you guys because I know what you would do with that information. Its not like I am that important to the Suzaku seishi."
"Effective hmn? You won't talk? We'll see. You are…important. Who knows what the Suzaku seishi would do with you once they find out that you are a Seiryuu."
Now what is this crazy idiot talking about? Seiryuu? How can I be one of the Sieryuu. They have all been chosen already. He is lying!
"You lie. I can't be. You are lying." I gritted my teeth replying. Dear Suzaku it's taking me nearly all my strength not to lunge at this guy. My jaw was hurting at my clenching due to all the obvious lies the blonde was telling me.
How I wish I were with the Suzaku seishi now. I have always imagined even in my world that Tasuki would save me from my fears but hell he isn't even here! I am not of the Seiryuu's.
He smirked. "Dear girl you are of the Seiryuu's and you will know it soon. How else would you have Seiryuu ki strong enough to blow that idiot bandit back?"
It sent a knife through my heart as I realised the truth of what he was saying.
"Tasuki is not an idiot." I replied weakly.
He only raised a perfect eyebrow at my statement.
Seiryuu? Can I really be of Seiryuu? Am I a seishi or something? Does it really matter what side I am on as long as I do the right thing? Something or another has emotionally scarred most of the Seiryuus. Can I really be strong enough to do the right thing?
I was fighting an inner battle. I want to be of Suzaku though something ties me to the Seiryuu. I don't care! Suzaku has appeared to me and has told me to guide the Suzakus and… oh god the Seiryuus too!
~Flashback~
Suzaku stood in front of Kimiko in the shrine of Suzaku.
"Your purpose is that you shall be the balance. You will help and save the unhappy pasts of the Seiryuu seishi as well as mine. Be the balm that soothes their wounds."
~End flashback~
Suzaku said that I would help the Seiryuu too! But I can't do everything! I shall not abandon the Seiryuus or the Suzakus. Right now I have to get back to Konan. I can't let Amiboshi fall into that river!
"Nakago, even if I am of Seiryuu I will swear you this. I will NOT go against the Suzakus nor will I abandon the Seiryuus. You will not thwart me. End of story."
"We'll see."
"Now get out of my way. I would like to see the other seishi."
************************
Kimiko squeezed past Nakago's towering form. He caught her arm stopping her.
"Very well, I will take you to see them but put on these clothes first."
Kimiko winced inwardly at the grip Nakago had on her arm but didn't show it. Why would he give her clothes? Wasn't she a prisoner?
"Fine. I want to see Suboshi first and then Yui."
Wearing the silk deep sapphire pants and blouse outfit very similar to her bloodied clothes, Nakago led her to Suboshi's room, which was very near Yui's room. She had grabbed a blue ribbon to put up her hair. Everything it seemed in Kutou was blue.
~Nakago~
She can't possibly know what I told them right?
*************************
Nakago underestimated her.
@Suboshi's chambers@
Kimiko walked into Suboshi's room without flinching even though Nakago's grip was starting to hurt more in addition to her injuries.
Suboshi was sitting on his bed with his ear pressed to the wall not noticing that people had walked into his room.
Kimiko jerked her arm from Nakago's grasp and glared at him.
"You could have let go its not like I could run away like that and I would like to have some privacy with Suboshi."
Hearing her speak Suboshi jerked towards them, taking his attention from the wall.
~Suboshi~
Who is she? Is she the oracle aniki spoke about? I'll kill her if she exposes him! She is kinda pretty though. Not gorgeous or anything just sort of exotic.
~Kimiko~
Seeing Nakago walk out of the room, closing the door and on to his own business gave me a bit of satisfaction.
I saw Suboshi giving me curious looks.
Raising an eyebrow I said, "Yes? What is it Suboshi?"
Scrambling from his bed he turned defensive.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?"
Smiling tiredly I requested.
"Can I sit down first? I am still a little sore from those stupid ki blasts Nakago gave me."
"You survived his ki-blasts?"
"Apparently yes."
Suboshi pointed to the bed. I limped to the bed then sank down on it. He sat in a chair in front of me.
Opening my mouth to speak, Suboshi jumped in.
"Aren't you one of the Suzaku scum?"
"I am not and the Suzaku are not scum. I am pretty sure your brother in Konan has told you about me. Did he not Su-chan?"
"You are the oracle. Are you going to help us?"
"I don't plan on helping Nakago in his current plan but I do plan on helping those who want to do better. Like you and your aniki." I paused.
"Perhaps the other seishi if they want because I believe everyone deserves a good life. Su-chan, I will not reveal your aniki unless I have to and when I do I shall try not to get him killed. What is Nakago telling you Seiryuu seishi? That the Suzakus are intending to kill all of you and not going to let you have peace?"
Suboshi nodded confirming my suspicion.
"He told us that the Suzaku seishi would kill us at any chance and that if Suzaku was summoned it would take over the world and would never let us achieve peace."
"I assure you Su-chan that is not how the Suzaku seishi work. They have a kind emperor who loves his people who are loyal to him and would protect him till death. Konan's emperor would also defend his people until the very end."
I thought of how Hotohori had fought Nakago near the end of the series and how I had cried.
"The other seishi have a bond which means they trust in each other and they all act like everyone are equals. I am guessing actually that if you had an emperor like Konan you would be able to achieve peace without fighting. Achieving peace is not about fighting Su-chan. If you fight where is the sense of achieving peace? You would only have more enemies. Don't kill unless you absolutely sure about your reason and find out for yourself the truth, don't follow blindly to what others say."
"Can I really trust you?"
"Yes I am pretty sure you can because I happen to think your aniki is a good person and doesn't deserve to be in wars. You too. I shall try to make sure your aniki is okay and that is why I need to get back to Konan soon."
I saw trust in Suboshi's eyes. I am surprised that I managed to get him to trust me but I will not let his trust go in vain. It may be useless to talk to Yui and she may slap me on first sight but I have to try before Nakago screws even more with all their brains. Nakago's mind has been screwed with and it seems everything bad that happens in Kutou has a root cause, which is the emperor. Contempt and hate are the best words to describe what I feel for the emperor.
"Su-chan I'll go now and let you process what I have said. You can even tell your aniki what I have said and ask him to confirm whether the Suzaku seishi are actually a good bunch. Ask him to look at them from a third point of view and not be clouded by the outright lie that Nakago told you."
I walked out leaving Suboshi sitting in his chair.
I know Yui must be in the next room. Suboshi always seemed to be fascinated by her.
**************************
Kimiko walked over to Yui room and just as she was about to knock and go in, Tamahome strode out with a determined expression on his face. She was almost knocked off balance. He didn't even notice her.
She popped her head into Yui's bedroom. Yui had a confused crossed with unhappy expression on her face.
~Kimiko~
"Was that Tamahome?"
"Yes and what is it to you?" She snapped at me. She doesn't seem to have recognised me.
Whoa temper, temper. I intended to try and tell her not to keep fighting Miaka but I kept thinking about Tamahome and why that this scene meant something. At least my wounds aren't that painful anymore just a dull soreness.
It hit me as I was recognised by Yui. This was where Tamahome was heading to Konan to kill Miaka. I have to get out of here NOW!
"You are that oracle girl with Miaka!" She accused.
"Yes I am but I have to go ja!"
She blinked and I tore out of her room then bumped into Suboshi.
"Su-chan please help me! I need to get to Konan!" I pleaded urgently.
He nodded giving me instructions to where to get a horse. We ran all the way to where the stables were. Lucky it seemed that guards were nowhere in sight probably due to some training. Getting on the horse I thanked him. (A/N: See how crappy Kutou's security is? ^_^)
"Arigatou Su-chan! I'll see you in future. Don't get yourself in trouble so tell Nakago that I escaped and you just saw me escaping on a horse okay? Give me 5 to 10 minutes head start then you report to Nakago!"
"KYA!" I snapped the reins.
The horse was a fast white stallion with black socks. I never knew how to ride a horse so why can I now? Way freaky. I can't think about that now. I need to get out of Kutou territories before Nakago sends out troops to capture me. Tamahome has had a half hour head start no doubt he will be there in Konan faster than I would.
Galloping at high speed with heavy rain beating down on me I raced towards Konan. It seemed that I knew how to get there. It was like instinct. I could hear the horse's hooves thumping on the ground in rhythm with the sound of my heart pounding between my ears.
Adrenaline was zipping in my veins and I felt dizzy. A throbbing in my side was proof that one of my wounds has opened up yet again. Cold rain soaked through my skin and matted my clothes to my skin.
Determined to make it to Konan I carried on not thinking about anything but my goal. Using my thighs I gripped myself to the horse to prevent myself from falling off.
I will get there. I will get there. It seemed like eternity before I saw the familiar crimson and gold gates of the Konan palace. I was finally back in Konan. The horse skidded as I attempted to stop. The guards let me in as they recognised me, I ran all the way to the courtyard where I remembered the fight had taken place.
The throbbing in my side had not ceased and my vision was getting blurry. Probably the rain had something to do with it.
I slipped and hit the ground a few times. Itaii…. Stupid palace it's too huge! Finally I reached one of the many entrances to the courtyard.
Hotohori blazing with Suzaku's aura had just thrust his sword into Tamahome's abdomen. Miaka's scream of anguish pierced the air. I stumbled towards Tamahome and almost puked at the sight of so much blood. Miaka cradled Tamahome as he tried to pick his sword up. She put the sword in his hand and sobbed.
"I'd rather I die than you. Kill me if you must!" She cried.
I darted forward and plucked the blue earring, which I suspected to be Nakago's control device, out of Tamahome's ear. It was worth a try. The Suzaku seishi were about to jump forward to save Miaka but I yelled what Hotohori had yelled in the show.
"Wait watch what is happening!"
Tamahome fought his turmoil and dropped the sword. The spell was broken. He spoke as if nothing had happened and apologised to the weeping Miaka.
"Mitsukake! Heal Tamahome!"
He came forward and the green healing light healed Tamahome's wounds. The rest of the seishi came forward to welcome the real Tamahome back.
I saw Tasuki in crutches as he came up and stood next to me, Nuriko on my other side. I didn't say anything.
My vision was growing increasingly blurry and my body seemed to be burning up making me feel dizzy. The throbbing pain in my side where my wound had reopened stung more than ever. Putting my hand to my side I felt a sticky liquid substance. I could see it was a scarlet colour. It was taking all my strength to stand on my legs that were starting to lose the drive making it harder to stand. It felt wobbly like jelly.
I collapsed feeling my whole body feeling numb but somebody caught me. I vaguely heard Tasuki and Nuriko worriedly shouting my name. Nuriko must have caught me. I felt myself being lifted and a cool hand feeling my burning forehead.
My eyelids felt heavy. But I managed to croak out, "Daijoubu. Heal Tasuki first later when your power is regenerated Mitsukake onegai. I will not forgive you if you heal me first."
With that I let myself close my eyes and slipped into the comforting shadows of black.
*************************
Kimiko collapsed in Nuriko's arms after pushing herself to her limit. Tasuki yelled his concerns.
"What happened to her?!"
Soon they all managed to get settled back at the palace with Tasuki insisting that Kimiko stay in his room. Nuriko too worried about her to poke fun at him. Tasuki however uncomfortable sat watch in his room. (A/N: aww how sweet Tasuki feels something for Kimiko)
