Tasuki's Life
Far away from Taka's and Miaka's world, the book of the Four Gods still existed. It floated between the real world and the other world, still continuing the story of the Suzaku warriors.
Tasuki lay asleep in his chamber; his lean body was slick with sweat. He twitched slightly and his hand rose up a little as if feeling an imaginary object. "Suzaku…" Tasuki murmured as he turned onto his side. His head turned from side to side as he mumbled more words and suddenly, he jerked up from his sleep. "Suzaku? My life will be exciting? What's going on?" Tasuki cried out. Sitting upright on his bed, the blanket fell away from his upper body and showed off his rather tan skin. Tasuki swung out of his bed with ease and stood, staring out of the window to see the sunrise.
It was a beautiful day if it had not been for the dreams Tasuki had been having recently. Suzaku had kept calling out to him, telling him repeatedly to leave the palace and start his own life. For a year now, the land had been peaceful, all the rest of the Suzaku warriors have reincarnated, all except him and Chichiri. However, he was the only one left at the palace, advising the new emperor about certain issues like weaponry. Chichiri had decided to go and discover more new places and gain more experiences with his life.
"Life has been so boring for me that I must be beginning to hallucinate. Sheesh!" Tasuki talk to himself as he changed and walked out of his chamber, stretching. 'Though I wonder how Taka and Miaka are doing in their world and the rest of the warriors. They probably can't remember me anyway.' Tasuki thought with sadness. He continued walking, heading for the beautiful lake within the palace walls. He had always loved the lake; it reminded him of the old times with everyone. He still remembered teasing Tamahome with Nuriko, seeing Chichiri in his calm state of mind, Mitsukake healing him, Hotohori walking round the palace, Chiriko studying like crazy and Miaka… Miaka, always with her laughter and great appetite for food. 'How I miss everyone' Tasuki thought and sighed. He finally reached his destination.
The lake was still and as Tasuki leaned forward to look at the water; his clear reflection looked back at him. Flaming red hair covered slightly his right eye and his eyes followed his hair, crimson. Broad shoulders and a muscular- built body, most maids would gawk at him. Sighing once more, Tasuki looked up to the sky, admiring the beautiful white clouds floating above him. "How I definitely missed Miaka. I guess I have loved her beyond what I thought I was capable of." Tasuki whispered.
"Oh well…Maybe I should follow my dream and leave the palace, I have nothing else to do here and I guess I want to see my best friend, Kouji." Tasuki grinned at remembering his best friend. "Yes! I will do that!" Tasuki turned away and walked back to his chamber.
Two hours later, Tasuki stood outside the palace, looking far away towards the direction of Mount Reikaku. "Guess I better start my journey or I won't make it by nightfall." Tasuki thus began on his exciting adventures…
Suzaku smiled as he sensed Tasuki was following his repeated advises to him through dreams. Orange-red flames licked at his legs, unaffecting him. His surroundings look like he was in space and time seem so slow there. Suzaku closed his eyes and sighed. "It's about time, Tasuki, about time…"Suzaku's voice echoed around him. "I shall just watch him for a while…"
