Chapter 3

"Nakago! What the heck do you mean by 'my priestess'!"

"Exactly what it sounds like." He was in front of her in a blink of an eye. He took her hand and said, "You, are my personal priestess. I love you." He knelt down and kissed her hand. She snatched her hand away so fast, she might have given him whiplash.

"S-stay away from me!" She said. She would have slapped him but she didn't want to touch him again.

"Why? You can't deny that you like me. The last time you were here, I saw the way you were looking at me." He said moving closer to her. She backed away.

"I'm telling you Nakago, stay away from me! I will kill you without hesitation." She said. She then started standing her ground.

"And how do you expect to do that with your hands tied together?" He snickered.

"What?" She looked down and noticed that her hands were suddenly tied together in the back. She looked at him for a second more, turned on her heel and bolted away from him. She ran for the door to the courtyard. She ran as fast as she could with her hands tied behind her but it didn't help. When she looked in front of her, there he was, Nakago was already waiting for her. She stopped abruptly and started backing away. "Stay away from me Nakago! Just leave me alone!" Aoi tripped and in the blink of an eye he was by her side.

"Do you need help?" He said. He picked her up and she struggled to get free from his grip.

"Let me go Nakago!" Aoi screamed.

"Why should I?" Nakago said really close to her face. Close enough to kiss her.

"Because if you don't I'll kill you."

Aoi and Nakago's head turned to the doorway. Chichiri was standing there without his mask on. He had a lot of chi gathering around him. He looked furious.

"Chichiri!" Aoi said sweetly.

"What do you want?" Nakago said to Chichiri.

"I want Jen! NOW GIVE HER BACK!" Chichiri sent a huge wave of chi at Nakago. Nakago lifted one hand and he blocked Chichiri's attack. While Nakago was blocking, Chichiri grabbed Aoi out of Nakago's hands. He noticed but couldn't do anything about it. He still had to block Chichiri's chi.

"Suzaku warrior! Darn you!" Nakago yelled.

"Jen, are you okay?" Chichiri whispered in Aoi's ear. He cut her ropes.

"Yes I'm fine." Aoi was clinging tightly to Chichiri and she could smell his scent of Sakura trees. She had her head pushed up against his chest so when she spoke, her words sounded muffled.

"That's good to-AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Chichiri yelled.

"What's wrong?!?!" Aoi asked. She was trying to hold him up but she didn't have enough strength to.

"What's wrong is he's too weak to protect you." Nakago said standing before them. Chichiri had cuts everywhere. Especially his back.

"Jen.... Run...."

"No. I'm not leaving you. I won't."

"You don't have a choice in the matter, priestess." Nakago said. He knocked her out with his hand and he swooped her in his arms. "We'll be seeing ya Suzaku road kill."

"Don't you dare Nakago." Chichiri said on the ground. He was unable to move. Nakago was holding him in place with only a little of his chi.

"She deserves to be with a real man like me. If you really loved her you would see that." Nakago disappeared in thin air.

"Damn." Chichiri said to himself. "I couldn't save her, damnit!" Chichiri was no longer bound to the ground. He punched the grass even though it sent unpleasant pain through his whole body. "I'm coming for you Jen. Don't worry. I'm coming."

Aoi was waking up and found that her hands were, yet again, bound. She looked around her and found that she was in what looked like a dungeon. She felt weird and different. She looked down at herself to make sure she was all right. She gasped for air. And then she screamed.

"Chichiri, how could you let Nakago get onto the mountain and steal her away?!" Tasuki said. He had come to take Aoi back to the palace in Hong-Nan.

"I let my guard down for two seconds. He wasn't even supposed to be able to see this mountain so it's not all my fault, ya know." Chichiri was lying on his bed being healed by Lai Lai. He didn't have his shirt because it was all ripped up, Lai Lai was also fixing his clothes." But she probably is suffering right now. I've got to save her." He winced in pain.

"Stop moving. Can't heal, can't heal!" Lai Lai said.

"Are you kidding yourself Chichiri? You can't even move without hurting a little! I'll go and find her."

"No. She's my responsibility." She is my love, he thought to himself.

"All done! All done!" Chichiri sat up after hearing Lai Lai say that over and over again.

"I'm going with you, whether you like it or not." Tasuki walked out the door.

"Tasuki!" Chichiri yelled after him. Lai Lai set his shirt next to him and left him alone. "What am I going to do? I have no clue where she is and I can't pick up her chi. She must be far away-" Chichiri doubled over. He was on the ground. On hand on his heart and the other on the ground. He heard Aoi screaming. The defining, high-pitched scream was definitely hers. But how was he able to hear it? She was too far away for him to sense her chi, so how could he hear her scream? He didn't know how but he threw on his shirt and all his equipment to finish his outfit. He ran outside his door and watched the mountains. He said an incantation and he disappeared into his hat.

"Oh my God!" Aoi looked at her self again. She felt her hair; it was up in a side ponytail. Her long, wavy, hair wiggled every time she moved. She looked for a mirror to see how bad she looked. After all she couldn't see everything just by looking at herself. What about her face? She frantically searched around for a mirror. When she found one, she screamed louder and longer than before.

She wasn't wearing the clothes she had on before. She was wearing a gold bikini like dress. The dress tied around her neck and went all the way down to the floor. The top bikini part was a long V down to where the top ended. The bottom bikini part had a skirt connected to the back. There was shear fabric over the actual bikini but it was all tied together. That meant that if the top came a loose....

"Oh my God! Since when does this time era have this kind of clothing?!" Aoi was trying her hardest to break free but to no avail. "Damn you Nakago!"

"For what?" Nakago suddenly appeared in her cell. He came closer to her. "You look nice."

"Oh cut the crap would ya?! Where the hell did you get this outfit?! Why did you put me in this outfit?! When did you put me in this outfit?!" Aoi was spitting out questions left and right.

"I didn't change your clothes. I wouldn't go that far until we," He moved closer to her and stroked his fingers down her arm, "know each other a little better." Aoi tried to break free again. She was furious.

"Don't touch me! No one is allowed to touch me like that except-"

"Except who? That toothpick Suzaku warrior? You actually feel well guarded when you're with him?!" Nakago yelled at her.

"His name is Chichiri and yes! I do feel guarded!" She yelled back.

Nakago looked like he had been hit over the head with a huge metal bat. He regained his posture and said, "I will make you love me, whether I have to do it the easy or hard way. I will make you love me. Your Chichiri is coming to get you now but I," He snapped his fingers and two gold bracelets appeared on her left arm and right ankle, "can give you whatever you want."

"I want Chichiri." Aoi said bluntly.

"Then you will have him. He just might be in pieces though." After he said that, he disappeared.

"Pieces? Oh no. Chichiri!!!!" Aoi cried.
