Yep, after 4 months(?) I finally update! So this is chapter 4 and I'd like to thank my only reviewer so far (sniff...nobody else likes my story). Anyways; thanking my only reviewer:

Lola-gurl! Thanks for reviewing; hope you keep reviewing and won't be disappointed by anything!

On with the chapter!

Oh and by the way; do you spell Kouji like that; or like: Koji? I've checked some different stories; and they're all different...

Oh yeah; and just to tell anyone who's actually reading, I accidently started writing with different names 'cuase...i was just being dumb, I guess and so, if you see a different name, replace it with what makes sense. I've corrected all the mistakes i could find but i might've missed some...
Enjoy the story; review, review, review!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Tasuki's head swirled around at the scream. Chichiri got a serious look on his face. Men were looking confused and they were in the way of the seishichecking it out. Kouji was looking frustrated with the men. Chiriko ran in just then.

"Kouji! Tasuki! Chichiri!" he yelled, "Sakuya has been taken!"

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Kouji yelled.

Chiriko nodded quickly, "Yeah; when I got to her room, she was gone"

"We have to get her back!" Tasuki fumed.

"She was screaming 'no', right?" Kouji asked, "Maybe…maybe she saw that guy"

"What guy?"

"The guy that tried to…"

"Quick!" Chichiri said, "Where did you find her? That guy might be going there!"

"In the market that's near Suzaku village!" Koji said.

"Ok, people; get on" he said, taking out his kasa. They all got on; Kouji a bit more hesitant than the seishi.

"You're coming Kouji?" Tasuki asked.

"Yeah; Sakuya's like my little sister. As a big brother, I HAVE to protect her!" he said, holding up his fist in determination.

Tasuki nodded while he sweatdropped, "Been practicing your dramatic scenes?"

Kouji just shot him a grin that couldn't come close to concealing his concern for Sakuya, "Just hope we get her back safely and unscarred"

"And the girl was captured by the one that she most feared in that world" Cassandra read aloud, "Wow, poor Sakuya, huh?" she asked Katura. Katura just yawned, "Another one of Sakuya's melodramatics? No thanks"

Cassandra frowned. Why would Sakuya's own sister be so uncaring? Jason wasn't any better; he was actually sleeping right now.

As if sensing her thoughts, Katura reached over, "Here, let me read"

"We're here, no da!" Chichiri announced.

"Good; your landings stillsuck Chichiri"

"Not my fault, no da!"

"Where would that guy keep Sakuya?"

"I dunno; we'll have to ask around"

"Let's try the restaurant first; there's a lot of people in there"

They did so and were met with a surprise.

"Hey guys!" Miaka yelled when she saw them come in.

"Miaka?" Chiriko asked. Miaka ran to them.

"What are you guys doing here?" she asked, dragging them to the table.

"Well…" Chichiri said and began to explain, "...And that's why we're here, no da"

"I see…good job; you found the oracle" Nuriko said. He turned to Iris, "Iris, where would the guy keep her?"

"That guy is probably Yuan" she said, "He's known for trying to rape every woman he sees, sometimes despite the age too"

"And where would he be?"

"He lives in a big old shack by the river"

"Let's go there, then"

"No…"Sakuya whispered to herself. The man; his name was Yuan, looked at her with lust.

"I couldn't get you last time; I'll get you now" he lunged at her.

Tears streamed from her eyes. as she struggled against his hold on her.She'd soon be violated by a man that she feared, that had caused her pain the first time she had realized she was in this world.

"STOP!!!!!!!" she shouted. The man only laughed. Then a thump was heard as he fell onto the ground. She looked at her savior. A man in his twenties.

"W-who?"

"You can call me Nakago" he said, giving her his cloak.
(AN: Nakago! Dun dun dun! Our favorite villain is back!)

"Sakuya!" Koji yelled when they reached the shack. She wasn't there. Some of her clothes were there, ripped up and the man was there, unconscious.

"Where is she?" Tasuki asked.

"Stupid asshole" the man on the ground grumbled as he woke up. Tasuki had him against the wall in a second.

"Where is she?"

"I don't know!" the man whimpered, "In case you didn't notice, I was knocked out!"

"Damn it…"

"But I think that guy took her; Na-something" he said.

"Na?"

"Nakago!" Tamahome growled, taking a guess.

"What did the guy look like?"

"Blonde hair…blue eyes…lots of armor…" Yuan said, "I didn't even get to do that bitch"

"Do you even know who 'that bitch' was?" Tasuki asked, narrowing his eyes.

"No…" the man said shakily.

"She was the key to winning against Kutou; and guess what? Now you've messed things up because now she's in the hands of Kutou's general!" Nuriko yelled, clamping his hand on the man's neck. The man screamed in pain and they left, leaving him to his death.

"Now what do we do?" Chiriko asked. He looked over at everyone.

Kouji, who was still with them, had a worried look on his face. Tasuki was furious. Chichiri, like everyone else, had a worried look on his face. Miaka looked like all hope was lost. Nuriko and Tamahome had a determined look in their eyes. Mitsukake was explaining things to the little girl, Iris, was it? She was confused and shocked at what they had done to the man.

"We can't just stand here…we have to get to Kutou to get her back"

"Hate that place…" Tasuki muttered.

"We should just think of what we're going to do when we get to Kutou" Chichiri said, "Let's go somewhere where we can talk…privately"

"We rented rooms at the inn already" Miaka said. Iris nodded, "The owner gave us a discount 'cause he knew my daddy and my mommy and he felt bad for me!"

They followed Iris to the inn where she led them to the rooms.

"Ah" Miaka said, flinging herself onto the bed.

"Now…what should we do?"

"Where are you taking me?" Nakago turned at the girl's tone of voice.

"To the Kutou palace"

"Oh…" the rest of the trip was in silence.

"Here" Nakago said, extending his hand to help her off the horse. She was still wearing his cloak.He saw that she was still wearinghis cloak. He would have to getsomeservants to give her some clothes; he liked that cloak,though clothes probably weren't the biggest worry on her mind at the moment. He led her down the hall and then another, a turn, another hall.

'This place was like a maze' Sakuya found herself thinking

"Here; rest here for now. A maid will bring you some clothes later, Sakuya-sama" he said and he closed the door on his way out. As he walked down the hall, a smirk came over his face.

"Here you go" a maid come not too long later, carrying a bunch of clothes. Sakuya thanked her and she left. The clothes consisted of what she had seen women at the market wear.

"Needs adjustments" she took off her shoe and a pocketknife fell out, "Too bad I know shit about designing and measuring clothes..."

Scared. That's what I was. When the man had appeared at my window. I couldn't move so I screamed. I found out that the man's name was Yuan. Through that whole time, I wanted to kill him, to inflict damage. To make sure he didn't touch me again. At all. But I was scared. What kind of 'warrior of the oracle'or the 'oracle' am I if I can't even protect myself against a perverted man? It was like the time with Damian…No, I shouldn't think about it now. I wish Kouji was here now; then I could leave. This place is such a maze…that Nakago guy freaks me out, but I really have to be grateful, don't I?

"Sakuya-sama?" a boy with dirty-blonde hair walked in, disturbing Sakuya from her thoughts. She fell back onto the bed.

"Yeah?"

"Oh, Yui-sama wants to see you"

"Sure" she said and he began to walk away.

"Um…hey, what's your name again?"

"Suboshi"

"I don't exactly know the way…"

"Well…that's why you're supposed to follow me" he grumbled, looking incredulously at her.

"Fine" she said, and crossed her arms grumpily.

They were silent for a few moments.

"So…um…what are you doing here anyways? You don't look like a servant"

"I'm one of the Seiryu Seven…though, I wouldn't be talking 'cause you definitely don't look like a maid. Only Nakago knows why you're here and he refuses to tell" Suboshi had a scowl on his face when he mentioned Nakago's name.

"I take it you don't like Nakago" she commented.

"Hell no" he replied, "Do you?"

"Nah…he gives me the creeps; especially when he's staring at me"Sakuya shuddered. Suboshi dropped his scowl and smirked, trying to keep back a laugh.

"What?" she crossed her arms, indignantly.

"It's just that usually women have the opposite reaction of yours" he said, "I guess it's not really funny but it's good to see that not all girls like him"

"I'm not like most girls...trust me on that one"

Suboshi answered her question with a genuine smile. Sakuya smiled. Finally; a person in this place that didn't seem like they would try to hurt her.

"Here we are" Suboshi said, the smile still on his face. He knocked, "Yui-sama; I brought the girl to you"

"Come in" Yui said, "You may leave, Suboshi"

"Yes, Yui-sama" he said, turning to leave.

When he was gone, Yui turned to Sakuya.

"So, what's your name?"

"Sakuya Chang"

"I'm Yui Hongo and I don't know why you're important but Nakago said to meet you, so here we are" Yui said. She had a cold tone of voice, as if she was trying to forget something but wasn't really working. Silence reigned the next few moments.

"Yep, this isn't awkward" Sakuya commented. Yui smiled faintly.

"Wow, I got you to smile" Sakuya said.

"Alright…I met you" Yui said, her face hardening, "Suboshi!" the blonde came in, "Take Sakuya back to her room!"

"Yes Yui-sama"

After a while, Suboshi turned to her, "Well, at least you weren't maimed…"

"Has she been known to do that?"

"Does getting a Suzaku seishi to turn against his own priestess and break her arm count?...not that I'm complaining..."

"Good to know…" she said sarcastically.

"Ya know…it's weird, it's easy to talk to you…just like it was with my brother"

"Was?"

"Yeah…he died not too long ago. He was killed by the Suzaku sichi seishi"

"Oh…I'm sorry…" she said as he was telling her about his brother, "I know how you feel"

"Do you?" he asked, almost angrily, "'Cause if you really don't, I don't need your pity"

"Fine with me" she said, "But I'm not pitying you"

"Good" he said and walked off.

Suboshi's POV

What the hell was that? How…did I end up talking to her about Amiboshi? I haven't talked about him since I found out he died…and then suddenly this stranger waltzes in and I practically open up my memories to her. It's really weird…but she's easy to talk to…like Amiboshi was…

Oooh....looks like Sakuya made a friend don't we all wish we had Suboshi as a friend...

Sakuya: HAHA! I'm lucky and you're not!

Shinitenshi: Shut up before i reveal your secrets!

Sakuya: starts moping

If this sounds weird, I'm probably hyped up on sugar at the moment.............sugar.....................hope you liked the chapter; bye bye!
