Chapter 14: Ayame, the late daughter of Tais-kun

Ayame looked at the two couple in the corner. Tatara was calming Suzuno down as she was crying that she instead leave him or be eaten alive. "Don't worry, Suzuno. We will be together again, someday," He tried to calm her even though his heart had ripped apart. Ayame walked to them looking as deeply as sad as them, "Don't worry, you'll be together, just believe in God." She tried to cheer them up.

"It can't be helped," Tatara retorted, "No matter what, we can't be together." "I know that's the legend told but I understand you two well," She smiled back, "I don't like to see you lose one another. Like I don't want to lose Tomite." "Aw... Ayame..." Suzuno wiped her tears and hugged her, "It's nice of you to understand us...." Ayame's eyes trembled, she wished to do something for them. She smiled at Suzuno and she held to Tatara again. Ayame walked over the shrine of Byakko. "I summon all the great forces of Justice, Faith, and Good will from the fourcorners of heaven and the four quarters of the earth to call on you, the Divine Byakko and Gensebasu, the God protector of all the realms!" Ayame claimed through the shrine that the color of green and violet were produced from the statues. "We ask that you descent from the seven constellations to the earth, to protect us, and destroy all evil with your divine powers for the sake of the people who worship you!" The three maidens claimed together and were surrounded by the each of their color. They floated. "Who are you to call us?" Two Gods in shrine appeared looking at the maidens. "We are the maidens that call upon the Gods," The girls said together, "For all who respect you, for all who adore you, for all that wish at your appearance, grand us the three wishes." "As you wish, maidens," The Gods replied and Suzuno wished for the safety of her dear friends and returned her back to the real world. The Gods looked at Ayame, "What do you wish, maiden of Gensebasu?" "I wish for this world peace. Secondly, I want everyone here in this world live harmony without any evils. Thirdly…" Ayame said seriously and there were sweat drops streaming down from her forehead. Tais-kun popped out near the door worried, "Ayame?" "Ayame!" Tomite ran towards her but the violet color pushed and refused him away, "Ayame!" "What the…" She started to feel pain, "Thirdly… I… want… I want…" The color violet suddenly vanished and Suzuno was fading away. "Thirdly… make… " Ayame fell down and tried to stand up to wish for the third wish but the Gensebasu God vanished. Blood burst out her mouth and everyone started to worry, "Make Suzuno and Tatara…" "Ayame, stop it now! You can't do it," Suzuno yelled in the air and was fading little by little. "Suzuno!" Tatara ran towards her trying to reach her hand. She smiled, "Tatara, I always will love you... and remember you. Good luck my friends..." She vanished and there were her tears drops. "No!" Ayame fell down again and blood flow heavily out from her mouth sweating in despair. "She can't over stand the power of Gensebasu so she was refused for the third wish…" Tais-kun retorted seriously. "No, no, you can't die!" Tomite held her up, "You promised that we'll be together." "I didn't mind being eaten alive but… didn't fulfilled Tatara and Suzuno's wish… this is…" She moaned and tears burst out, "I can't make anyone happy…" "It's all right, Ayame. No one could…" Tatara said from behind. "But I want to do it…" She corrected and held Tomite's face, "I am so sorry, Tomite. But I need to go and try my best to let Tatara and Suzuno be together…" "No, I won't let you!" Tomite demanded back yelling, "I don't want to lose you!" "Father…" She called weakly, "Burn the pearl with my remains and thank you for your care all this years…" She looked at Tomite with tears and kissed him, "I will always love you, Tomite…" Her eyes closed and her hand fell down making Tomite screamed.

Mizuno lost conscious and fell down. "Mizuno?" "Why do I feel I know that story?" She thought curiously. "She died with no reason?" Tamahome repeated. "But been eaten or killed?" Miaka added.

"She couldn't over come the power of Gensebasu. Gensebasu is not an ordinary God as the others. He is the strongest of the Gods," Tais-kun retorted casually. "Mizuno, hold on," Chiciri nudged Mizuno, who fainted, "Wake up!"

Keisuke let go of the book as it turned to be hot, "What the hell-?" "What's the matter, Keisuke?" Tetsuya asked back. "The book was boiled before I could read what happened to Ayame," He replied and picked the book. A figure appeared on the two pages. It was Gensebasu and they gasped.

"Why didn't you help her? Is it because she wasn't related to you?" Nuriko asked angrily and Chiriko tried to calm her from behind.

"Or because you dislike her?" Tasuki added. "How can I dislike her when I took care of her for a long time?" he corrected angrily and the Nyan Nyans looked down.

"You're…" Sakura pointed her with her eyes widened, "Her guardian?" He nodded, "She was my special daughter although she wasn't my own blood. Ayame, my late daughter, the maiden of Gensebasu…"

"Then, what happened to Tomite?" Sano asked curiously. "He devoted his life to watch over the Pearl of Gods that was produced by Ayame and his love, with the help of Hikitsu," Tais-kun retorted back.

"So they are still alive?" Gau asked again. "They are dead but their body souls still protects the pearl," Mitsukake pointed out at them, "They were in the cave and maybe until now, they are still there."

"Poor Tomite…" Yui said, "He devoted his life for Ayame herself. She must be a wonderful girl." "Someone who end up being absorbed in this book will suffer and Mizuno will soon be..." Tetsuya said and Keisuke fisted. "She have suffered too much..." His eyes trembled.

"Does everyone have to suffer in this world? Suzuno, Tatara, Ayame and nee-chan herself and would I suffer too since I've been absorbed?" She thought and opened her eyes. She saw the white ceiling and blinked. She turned and saw Chiciri sitting her right side while her sister was sleeping on the other side. "Chiciri…" She whispered.

"You woke up at last…" Chiciri sighed happily, "I thought something got into you. What happened?" She shrugged, "All I remember when Tais-kun said something about Ayame's last word, I lost consciousness." He smiled, "But I am glad that you are fine." She smiled, "Thanks for worrying me… Chiciri…"

"Everyone is worried about you…" He corrected back smiling. "No, different matter of worrying. I knew it deep inside you, you care about me as much as nee-chan care about me," She corrected smiling and he nodded. "Because I love you..." He smiled and her eyes widened immensely with a blush.

"Gau, Misao, Aoshi, Sakura, you all need to train harder to protect your maiden," Tais-kun was tutoring them to become stronger. "But how?" Gau, Sakura and Misao whined, "Our powers are given not experienced."

"It's not matter of experienced," Chiriko pointed sitting, "Amiboshi himself doesn't take years to use the flute." "Hey, that was a different matter!" They yelled back, "That's a FLUTE!"

"Try Suboshi, he studied using his weapon quite a while, you know. Especially for protecting Lady Yui!" Amiboshi pointed and he steamed. "Amiboshi!" Suddenly Aoshi produced out thunder from his katana that made Misao crashed down. "You are a fast learner, Shinomori Aoshi," Tais-kun praised and Misao's eyes changed into sparkling, "Gau Ban, you're next." He sulked and mushroom breathed, "Here goes." He had a serious look and his palms were surrounded with flames and he threw it to Tasuki as his revenge.

"What are you trying to do?" Tasuki jumped up in chibi, "Trying to burn me into ashes?" Gau whistled looking away in chibi and was hit by Tais-kun. "Pay attention!"

"Stop making jokes at this time!" Mizuno whacked Chiciri again and again blushing awfully red. "I am not joking…" He giggled, "No matter how I look like, I am still serious." He was pushed to the wall and she walked out stomping like a giant. "Awake already, Lady Mizuno," Nyan nyan greeted her but she didn't pay attention, she still have her cheeks red. "I want to have my bath!" She ordered seriously and groaned childishly. "Yes, as you wish," They obeyed.

"There's nothing like a hot bath..." She sighed in the water shrine happily and remembered what Chiciri told her. She blushed biting her lips, "Is he honest?" She flinched and looked down at her reflection. She turned as she felt this aura. She saw a girl as her appearance but different expression. "Who are you?" She questioned and thought, "You must be Ayame."

She smiled gently nodding, "The new maiden of Gensebasu, please fulfill by wish. Go to the cave of Genbu and achieve the pearl from Tomite to summon Gensebasu."

"But how?" Mizuno asked back, "What if he killed me instead?" "Tomite is not that type of person. He'll give to someone who is honest deep inside. Please fulfil my wish, the new maiden of Gensebasu," She faded away and Mizuno's expression changed. "Ayame, you never forget of him, did you?"

"Cave of wonders!" Mizuno screamed and they had dotted eyes. She had a huge sweat dropped, "I am sorry. To the cave of Genbu." "Cave of Genbu? Why there?" Tasuki asked. "We'll we need to get the pearl of Gods to summon the Gensebasu, right? SO we needed that," She walked ahead, "I fulfilled your destiny, Ayame and for Tatara and Suzuno too. They will be together." "Aw... common, we don't have all day!" She called angrily and they dashed from behind.

To be continued

"Why is it so cold? Why is Tomite cold too? Don't he still have feelings? Yes, I know just from his expression he still love Ayame badly. What? He is giving me a test. Fine, I won't die in this. Just hand over the pearl so that I can summon the Gensebasu to make the promises to be fulfilled. I am the true Gensebasu's maiden and here to tell you the love from Ayame that never forget about you not even a second. Please Ayame help me, give me strength. The next chapter; Cave of Genbu. Power revealed." Review
