Chapter two

Flashback"Miaka, will you give your heart to me?" "I can't!"  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I screamed as I got out of bed.end flashback "It was only a dream. However, it felt real. Would Miaka really reject me?" What I didn't understand is, Miaka really did reject me...

I learned the answers later that day.. "Tamahome!" I shouted as I walked upon the bridge. "Your magesty," Tamahome spoke cruely to me as he walked away.

"Hotohori" A voice called me from across the bridge. "Hotohori, about yesturday"

Said the young lady revealing herself...  "M.. Miaka" I let out a cry of joy as I ran towards her sweeping her into my arms. I pulled her towards me and whispered into her ear. "I love you Miaka, like I said before... I will make you fall in love with me, thus you will become my emperess." She looked startled, as though she had never heard me tell her that I loved her before."Miaka!" Chichiri called from the door, "Tamahome's looking for you" "Okay!!!" Miaka ran to catch up to Chichiri.

"Miaka!" I yelled for her to return, but she didn't listen and kept running.

I followed Miaka to Tamahome's room and overheard their conversation.

"Miaka" Tamahome said as he placed his hand upon her head. "I am going bakc to my village, it would seem as though my father has fallen ill again."

"Tama..." Tamahome covered her mouth. "I would rather you stay here for your protection, I was told of some assassins in the area, I couldn't  bare it if anything happened to the woman I love." Tamahome said as he kissed her forehead and walked out of the room. As Tamahome left I walked up to Miaka and put my arm around her. She turned to me and removed my arm.. Without warning Miaka ran off. I knew she was going after Tamahome.. "Miaka!" I shouted. "I will not allow you to leave, Tamahome has ordered that you stay here." I then grabbed Miaka and refused to set her free. *FWAPPP* the sound of Miaka slapping my face echoed through the halls. I stood there with my face reddened from the slap as Miaka ran off. "Hotohori! I know you are in love with me, I know all you want is for me to love you back, I can't love you... I must go where my heart leads me to, so far my heart has only lead me to Tamahome, I love Tamahome and want to be with him now."

Miaka shouted as she ran further. "You can't stop me!"
