"Miaka, give me your hand."
Tamahome and Miaka stood alone. No one else was around, no one else could hear.
Tamahome reached towards Miaka and grasped her hand, which rest at her side. He gently placed it directly above his heart.
"Do you feel that?" he asked. Miaka could; she felt his heart beating rapidly. "That is my heart beating away."
"Tamahome," she whispered. She looked into his sea-green eyes. The symbol on his forehead now glowed red.
He smiled at her, his eyes shining. He came closer to her, tilting his head slightly.
Miaka was swept away. Her instincts told her to kiss him, yet something deep within her kept her from doing so.
"Tamahome," she said quietly, pulling away. "I - can't."
"What's wrong?" he asked, backing away. "Is something troubling you?"
"No, not really."
How can I lie to him? Miaka asked herself. She felt ashamed that here she was, about to kiss Tamahome, when Yui-chan could be suffering. She couldn't do it.
For a long time Miaka said nothing, nothing at all. She remained there, her eyes unfocused. She was lost in her memory.
"The only reason you even came back here was to see Tamahome!" Yui-chan had said.
Could it be true? No, she had returned to find Yui-chan.
"I would have returned even if Tamahome never existed!" The words echoed in her mind. She loved Tamahome, and seeing him brought back so much.
Yui-chan loved him too; that was painfully clear. She knew how Miaka had to have felt then when she saw him. Yet he seemed to be the reason Yui-chan and she were no longer friends; him and this book.
Sometimes I wish I had never found this book, she thought to herself. None of this would have happened. "Miaka?" Tamahome's voice intruded.
Miaka snapped back to reality, leaving behind her subconscious.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Is something wrong?" he asked again.
She couldn't answer, she just couldn't. Tears stung her eyes, blurring Tamahome's outline.
Tamahome held her close. "It will be okay," he told her.
How could he say that? He did not know what was troubling her, much less that every thing would be okay.
Miaka fought off his embrace. "No, it won't be all right! Yui-chan could be in danger! She may need me!"
This was the first time Tamahome had ever seen her act like that.
"Miaka, calm down."
"NO! You are the whole reason Yui-chan hates me! You and this stupid book!"
Chapter note: Wow, that was a powerful chapter. Miaka is always stereotyped as calm and predictable, but she isn't. She can be as equally volatile as the next person. Read on to find out if this will be the end of Tamahome and Miaka.
