A/N:

And I'm actually reaching chapter five! I'm so pleased with myself.

NOTE!! I have now found a beta-reader for my story. She is Alyssa Ang, however known in the as "buta-chan." I recommend for you to read her work; they're marvelous! Also, in this chapter, I will show some of the 'Super-Suzaku' power.

Previously on "Reflections Through the Mirror: Reversed Universes": Yui, Hotohori, Keisuke, and Tamahome set out onto Kutou, while riding Soi's storm. Can they make it?

Chapter Five:

To See You Again -- Riding Through the Storm

Tetsuya bit his lower lip. 'Man, Keisuke,' he thought, grasping his heart. 'You keep this up, I'll have a serious heart attack.'

"'And the Suzaku no Miko rode on with the two Sei and the man she brought from her world. The storm grew fiercer, and the path became as dark as the darkest and deepest hole on the planet.'"

(NEXT SCENE)

Without getting exhausted, Soi increased the power of her thunderstorm. A light gray-blue aura surrounded her as Seiryuu's fierce roar echoed with every "BOOM!" of thunder. Her beautiful blue eyes grew darker with every passing second as the storm grew.

Nakago watched the storm from the inside with Miaka. "Don't worry," he had said to the girl, "they'll be here as soon as the storm passed." Of course, Miaka did not know that one of the Seiryuu Sei was doing this, and not just the forces of Nature. 'What am I going to tell Tama once he gets here?' he asked himself. 'We used to get along so well...before Seiryuu interrupted everything.'

He heard Seiryuu's roar once more as the thunderstorm grew fiercer and louder. The dark night sky trembled with fear, threatening to fall down with each passing minute. The winds whipped violently, trees getting weeded out, rivers flooding from the rain. The winds increased, the lighting brighter, the thunder louder, the rain harder. Soi's power was indeed a formidable one, and was not to be messed with. And that thought gave Nakago an idea.

"SOI!" he shouted over the ruckus. Soi lowered her hands, using her Chi to keep the storm up and running perfectly, according to her power level.

"Yes, Lord Nakago; Seiryuu no Miko?" she said, bowing before the two.

Nakago hugged Miaka tightly, and then let her go. "Seiryuu no Miko, go and tell the chef that you would like more to eat; would you?" and Miaka nodded her head eagerly. "Well then, I am sure that the cook will be pleased to serve the Seiryuu no Miko." And Miaka left, running for the kitchen.

"Woman, I need you to go and find the Suzaku Sei and delay them as much as possible," said Nakago softly. "I have not seen Tamahome ever since I was seventeen, when Seiryuu called me."

Soi rose from the ground, mauve hair swaying in the wind. "As you wish, Lord Nakago," she said, and teleported, making sure that her Chi was efficient enough to keep the storm running while locating the Suzaku Sei.

(NEXT SCENE)

"Yui, you never mentioned we had to cross storms like these!" whined Keisuke, tipping his sunglasses.

"Keisuke, just take off your sunglasses," said Yui sharply. "There's no sun at all!"

"At THIS rate, we'll NEVER get to Kutou!" said Tamahome.

"You fools think you will reach Kutou through MY power?" laughed a woman, appearing right in front of their horses. "You are now facing one of the Seiryuu Sei, Soi. I control the weather, and as you see, this wonderful lightning storm was my creation!"

As lightning cackled, they had a full view of Soi. She had really long purple hair in thin braids, and she had beautiful blue eyes. She had a fair complexion, and she was wearing a sienna-colored tunic with a silver breastplate. The cuffs of her long-sleeved tunic were emblazoned with the sapphires of Seiryuu, and she walked on two stiletto, black shoes.

"Stop this storm!" cried Tamahome.

"And you must be Tamahome of the Suzaku Seven," chuckled Soi. "This will be most fun; tell me, are you familiar with martial arts?"

"Of course I am," said Tamahome indignantly. "What do you think my Sei power is? Putting makeup on?"

Keisuke, Hotohori, and Yui had to stifle a laugh, but shut up quickly when Soi's piercing blue eyes found them, and narrowed them.

"You, Tamahome of the Suzaku Seven, will face me," declared Soi.

"Name your game!" shouted Tamahome fiercely over the rolling thunder, getting into a fighting stance.

Instead of answering verbally (as Soi would just 'waste her energy' over it), she jumped once more, and kicked Tamahome right in the stomach, sending him flying into a huge boulder.

"TAMAHOME!!" cried Yui.

"You okay?" shouted Keisuke as he saw Tamahome get up again, the character, "Oni" ("Ogre), glowing brightly on the center of his forehead, crimson light emitting from it.

However, Soi was prepared as the character, "Bo," glowed brightly on her upper left thigh, a blaze of sapphire emerging from it.

"LIGHTNING DRAGON!!" she screamed, and a blue dragon worthy of Seiryuu himself, formed from the lightning that emerged from Soi's hands. It had piercing gray eyes, and blue-gray scales that were streaked with lightning-bolts. "Attack, my Dragon!" she shouted, and the dragon took the pleasure of wrapping itself around Tamahome. "Tighter!" said Soi, and tighter did it become. The dragon's eyes widened in glee, as Tamahome's widened in pain, the character glowing as brightly as ever from his forehead.

Just then, a sword out of nowhere thrust itself into the dragon's head. Hotohori jumped off his horse, and took the Holy Sword from the dragon's left eye. "I guess I have to say that I am not one of those who do not play fair," said Hotohori, glaring at Soi, the character, "Sei" ("Star"), glowing luminously from his left neck, spectacular red light forming a red barrier around him. "And two against one is NOT fair."

"You will pay!" growled Soi. "AVENGING LIGHT!!"

From the sky, three heavenly figures came down. A dragon, a tiger, and an eagle. The eagle was as large as the tiger, which was as large as the dragon, which was pretty large. They each had their own simple and yet sophisticated blue-green glow.

(NEXT SCENE)

"'The power of the Weather Mistress grew by the minute as her rage and furiousness grew,'" read Tetsuya, shifting his shades. "MAN Keisuke; you're REALLY gonna' give me a heart attack."

Tetsuya skimmed through the pages, but found that they were blank. He returned to the page where he read the aforementioned sentence, and saw a picture of the dragon, the tiger, and the eagle. "Whoa..." said Tetsuya, and read on.

"'The Emperor fought justly with the eagle, while Tamahome fought against the dragon.'"

(NEXT SCENE)

Nakago's eyes widened; he'd never felt Soi's power as high as this! It was almost enough to range within his own!

"Nakago?" asked Miaka; "are they getting here soon?"

"Yes, Miaka, they are," he said soothingly.

(NEXT SCENE)

"HOTOHORI!!!" shouted Yui, grasping Keisuke tightly. It was the third time he had been struck down by the eagle with its magnificent claws.

Keisuke hugged Yui as best he could -- when the girl began to glow a red light. An 'X' shaped symbol appeared on Yui's forehead, and she jumped down from her pearl white horse, ignoring Tamahome, Hotohori, and Keisuke's protest.

"Ah," said Soi acknowledging her. "The Suzaku no Miko."

"Exactly," said Yui in a voice that was not her own. One with the Trained Eye would've noticed the pale pink wings growing out of her back. The 'X' shaped character of Suzaku glowed brighter than ever. "WINGED PHOENIX!!" shouted Yui, a humungous phoenix emerging from her body, devouring the dragon, eagle, and tiger at the same time.

Soi scowled, when she heard Nakago say to her telepathically, "Soi, you may now let them pass; have them come to Seiryuu. The Seiryuu no Miko is impatient."

Soi sighed, closed her eyes, and waved her hands. In an instant, the storm that once raged over the high mountains of Kutou disappeared.

The mauve-haired woman disappeared, and the other four rode as quickly as they could to Kutou's palace.

(NEXT SCENE)

"They have arrived, Seiryuu no Miko," said Nakago, bowing deeply.

Miaka's brown eyes brightened up. "Are they outside?"

"Miaka, I'm right here!" said Yui's voice, and the girl turned around. "YUI!" she squealed, and tackled her friend.

"Keisuke!" she squeaked when she saw her brother standing with Tamahome right outside the door.

Keisuke acknowledged her. "Miaka," he said with a nod.

"And Hotohori," said Miaka. "Remember me?"

'I remember you as the creature of Seiryuu trying to deprive Yui of the right to be the Suzaku no Miko!' shouted Hotohori in his mind, but instead, he forced a fake smile that looked real and said in a false happy voice, "Of course I do. Miaka, was it not?"

"Nakago," said Tamahome, stepping into the room, his braided teal hair swinging behind him.

"Tamahome," came the reply.

There was a moment of silence, and then the two opposite warriors hugged each other like long lost brothers.

"Seiryuu I missed you!" said Nakago, trying to keep the tears out of his eyes.

"Oh, and I didn't miss you," said Tamahome sarcastically. "I missed you more than you can think of!"

Ending A/N:

Okay. A bit fluff there between Nakago (which I made OOC) and Tamahome (who was a bit OOC.).

Also, a note on Soi's outfit: That silver breastplate has to do something with summoning Suzaku; I'll have my own explanation soon.

Miaka learns the reason why Yui really came back.
