~ Seshiri Kou

Chapter 1

ALGEBRA IS EVIL!!!

Seshiri threw her Algebra book down on the lunch table. "UGH! I HATE algebra! Whoever invented it should be drug out into the streets and SHOT!"

Name: Seshiri

Age: 15

Occupation: Student

Hair: Light blue

Eyes: Purple

Nanuri laughed saying, "Baka, the person who invented algebra is dead, buried, and rotting in their grave!" Seshiri frowned. "Well then I vote we bring them back to life and kill them again!"

Name: Nanuri

Age: 15

Occupation: Student

Hair: Red/Orange

Eyes: Green

Gurase nodded. "A thousand deaths are not enough for that criminal!" Saihitei smiled at Gurase laughing. "Such violence in a young girl!"

Name: Gurase

Age: 16

Occupation: Student

Hair: Navy Blue

Eyes: Brown

Name: Saihitei

Age: 18

Occupation: Student

Hair: Light Brown

Eyes: Brown

Hmm… I bet Gurase is happy about coming to this school… If she didn't come to a college combined with high school she and Hotohori would NEVER be able to be going out! Hell they probably wouldn't even have MET! Which would mean they wouldn't be the champions of the "Cutest Couple Award"… That's probably the same with Nuriko and Nanuri… Minus the award heh… Hmmm. This year maybe Nuriko and Nanuri will win… They are pretty cute together!!!

Seshiri rolled her eyes. "Well if YOU were still taking algebra you'd feel the same way! I've had to take this damn subject TWICE! You'd think I'd get it by now!" Nanuri shrugged. "Well at least you got to ruin Mrs. T's reputation for being an 'excellent algebra teacher'."

Seshiri sat down grumbling. Nanuri laughed, "Just be glad you're not in Geometry! That class is eating me alive!" Nanuri pulled out her lunch, and started to eat.

Ryuuen walked over to their table, sitting down next to Nanuri. Seshiri smiled at him sarcastically. "Come to join us and complain about classes? Oh goody!"

Name: Ryuuen

Age: 18

Occupation: Student

Hair: Purple

Eyes: Purple

Ryuuen rolled his eyes. "Baka, of course not! I'm just here to visit, that's all!" Seshiri looked around behind him. "And where is your sidekick?" She asked, sitting down.

"Don't bother looking for Genrou, he's being held in during lunch." Saihitei stared at him. "Again!?" Ryuuen shrugged. "What can I say, he's badmouthed one too many teachers."

Name: Genrou

Age: 17

Occupation: Student

Hair: Orange

Eyes: Amber

Seshiri sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Detention?" Ryuuen nodded. "Hai." Gurase shook her head. "Damn. If he has another detention he COULD be suspended or put on probation or something."

Well if he was put on probation I would DIE.. I'd never have time to see him! He'd better stay in line this semester or he is gonna be NAILED by the Dean!

Nanuri snorted. "This school? Are you kidding me? You could get away with lighting a trash can on fire!" Seshiri turned red. "There is NO evidence that that was me!" What… there ISN'T… they have no proof…. Nanuri shrugged. "Hey, I'm not pointing any fingers or anything!"

Seshiri laughed. "You didn't have to SAY it but I knew what you meant!" Saihitei smiled and sat down on the table. "Gurase, luv, PLEASE don't tell me you have the cafeteria food again…" Gurase shrugged. "Hey, sorry, I have no time to pack myself a lunch!"

Chibi-Nanuri slammed her fist on the table. "And you think the stuff they serve is EDIBLE!? You're kidding.. right?" Seshiri nodded. "Do what your boooyfriend tells you!"

Gurase blushed. "Hey! Look who's talkin'!" Seshiri laughed and pulled out her lunch. Quickly glancing at the contents of her pack lunch she gagged. "Oh NASTY!"

"What?" Ryuuen looked over at her curiously. Seshiri sighed. "A PB&J…" Nanuri jumped to her feet. "Trade you!" Gurase stood up. "Well I'm going to get in line for the cafeteria food.." She turned to Saihitei. "Come with?" He grinned. "Sure."

The two lovebirds walked off together hand in hand to get in line. SD Seshiri turned starry-eyed.

"Oh that's SO adorable! Damn. If only I had a camera…" Nanuri waved her hands around. "Hey! They aren't the ONLY cute couple around!" She gave Ryuuen a short hug.

Seshiri's voice dropped to a whisper. "Nuriko, do I HAVE to call you Ryuuen? I mean I remember n stuff… it's REALLY hard and I keep almost slipping up!"

Ryuuen shook his head. "Gomen Seshi-chan, but you have to call me Ryuuen. I don't think Saihitei and Gurase remember yet. Wouldn't it kinda freak them out if you started calling me Nuriko?"

Seshiri shrugged. "Yeah.. that makes sense I guess…." Nanuri nodded, pulling out the pudding Ryuuen had given her. "Of course it makes sense!"

Seshiri sighed and rubbed her forehead. Nanuri frowned and leaned across the table towards Seshiri. "Hey, something wrong?" She whispered.

Shaking her head Seshiri sighed again. "No… Not really.." "Oh come ON, I'm like your frickin clone over here, give me a LITTLE credit, I KNOW when something's wrong!" Seshiri rolled her eyes. "I've seen the others."

"Nani?" Ryuuen blinked and leaned closer to her so he could hear what she was saying. "A few days ago I could have sworn I saw Nakago." Nanuri frowned. "No way!" Seshiri raised her voice, frustrated.

"Nanuri, WE were reincarnated, what makes you think that the OTHERS weren't reincarnated too?! Hotohori over there, even Gurase were brought here! What makes you so confident that the Seiryuu guys didn't get transported here..?"

Nanuri shrugged. "How the hell am I supposed to know?! It just never really occurred to me that maybe they came too… but now it makes sense!" "Now what makes sense?" Ryuuen stared at her. "I thought I saw Yui yesterday in Gym class. But when I looked back to make sure she was gone."

"I didn't know that Yui and Miaka came to this school…" Seshiri said, leaning back in her chair."

"Well they do now!" Nanuri said, ending the conversation just as Saihitei and Gurase came back. "Ugh, after seeing this stuff I am SO.. not hungry…"

Seshiri looked over at the mashed goo on Gurase's plate. SD Seshiri jumped back, screaming. "HOLY SHIT THAT THING JUST WINKED AT ME!"

Nanuri snorted. "Well it's good Genrou isn't around, he woulda pounded it!" Ryuuen laughed. "Seshi-chan, I'm sure it didn't… wink.. at… you…" Ryuuen stopped talking and stared at the goo.

Gurase dropped her tray on the table. "OMG IT MOVED!….. THERE IT GOES AGAIN!" Saihitei pulled Gurase away from the tray. "That's it, that is the LAST time I ever have the food here.."

Chibi-Seshiri prodded the mush on the plate with a spork. "That's what we've been TRYING to tell you, but did you listen? Course not!" Nanuri said, smirking.

"Well now you know better." Ryuuen said, grinning at Gurase. "Yeah…" Gurase shuddered, hugging Saihitei.

"Pst…." Seshiri looked around. "Who said that?" A hand pinched her leg. Seshiri kicked around under the table. AHHH WHO THE HELL PINCHED ME!?!?

"OW! FUCK!!! Seshi-chan… It's ME!!" A voice whispered up. "Eh?" Seshiri looked under the table. Oops… ehehe…. My bad…. "Genrou, what are you doing down there? Don't you have lunch detention???"

Genrou smirked. "I busted outta there!" Seshiri rolled her eyes. "Baka, you know that will get you into even MORE trouble, right?"

Genrou looked down, frowning. "Damn… I hadn't thought about that…" Seshiri laughed as he continued. "I need a hiding spot! A place where they can't find me!" Seshiri nodded. "Just a minute." She look back up at the others. "Genrou."

"Ah." Saihitei said. They all nodded, understanding. Seshiri looked back under the table. "Why don't you try the library? They wouldn't think about catching you there!" "The LIBRARY? But I HATE that place, it's full of books, I wouldn't be caught DEAD the-… ok I see your point…"

Seshiri grinned down at him. "Ok, I'll see you later, Ryuuen wants us to go to his place and have some sort of a weird meeting.. thing…"

Genrou smiled. "Ok, see you there!" Seshiri smirked. "I take it you're ditching class?" He gave her a fangy grin. "Me? Ditch? Never!" Seshiri laughed. "Don't get into TOO much trouble, ok?"

He held up his hand in the peace sign. "Hey, don't worry! I promise!" Seshiri rolled her eyes. "Hey, not funny, you KNOW how I'm feeling about promises now!" Genrou grinned. "I know, I know, I'm kidding Seshi-chan!"

Gurase's voice called down to her. "Oi, Seshiri, are you going to be joining us any time soon? If you want to finish lunch you better do it soon, class starts again VERY soon.. like… 5 minutes…"

Genrou winked at Seshiri. "Later!" He reached up and kissed her on the cheek. "See ya.." Seshiri said, sitting up straight. "Ok! I'm back!"

Nanuri rolled her eyes. "How nice of you to join us. Any news from lover boy?" Seshiri smirked. "He's ditching class… again.. and he busted out of lunch detention. He was looking for a place where no one would think to look for him and I said to try the library."

Saihitei laughed. "Study hall would have been another perfect hiding spot for him!" Saihitei looked down at his watch. "I should probably be going now. My locker is on one side of school and my next class is on the other!!"

Gurase nodded. "I swear to Suzaku that they do that on purpose!" Ryuuen shot a quick glance at Seshiri and Nanuri. He grinned at them.

Hmm… Does Gurase remember, or did that just pop out?

Saihitei smiled and took Gurase's arm. "Would thee, fair lady, care to accompany me?" He said, trying to keep a straight face.

Gurase bit her lip to keep from laughing and answered, "Aye, my liege, 'twould be my honor!"

Nanuri snorted. "Twould be twerrific!" Chibi-Seshiri fell over laughing as Chibi-Gurase stuck her tongue out at the both of them. "Just because YOU guys don't have boyfriends that care to spend any REAL time with you doesn't mean you have to try and make fun of ME!" SD Gurase said, jokingly.

Nanuri pretended to be insulted and grabbed Ryuuen by the arm. "Come Ryuuen! Let us show these um… other people what being a couple is REALLY about!" SD Seshiri covered her eyes with her hands. "AAAHH PLEASE NO! MY POOR VIRGIN EYES!"

Gurase cocked her head, blinking at Seshiri. "Virgin?" Turning Chibi they all erupted laughing. Seshiri wiped away tears of laughter before sitting up straight. "Ooo that was funny!"

Seshiri stood up quickly. "Ok well the bell is going to ring VERY soon and if we all don't get our books we are going to be VERY-"

BRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

The bell rang out, practically bursting kid's ear drums. "AGH!" Gurase yelled, covering her ears. "Why don't they turn that thing DOWN a notch!" "Or two." Saihitei added. "Or a DOZEN!" Ryuuen said, muttering.

Seshiri jumped up. "Come on you guys! We're gonna be late for our next classes!" Nanuri smirked. "And this is supposed to be a new thing for us?"

SD Seshiri stuck her tongue out at Nanuri and grabbed her backpack. "Ok I'll see you guys la-"

An ear splitting screech was heard as the loud speaker came on. "We are now having a fire drill… please exit calmly, this is only a drill!"

Seshiri rolled her eyes. "Oh gods.. why the hell do we have these things?!" Ryuuen shrugged and grabbed Nanuri's hand. "Come on!" He said, grabbing his backpack and throwing it on.

Saihitei frowned. "Why do I feel as if someone should be carrying my books FOR me?" Seshiri had already started walking and was in the lead. She called back, "Because you are royalty dear sir, royalty!"

Saihitei froze for a moment, zoning out. Seshiri smirked as his eyes lit up as he remembered. Bingo. Lover-boy remembers! Go mee go mee go mee! Now if only we could get GURASE to remember….

Gurase tugged on Saihitei's sleeve. "Hey, earth to Saihitei. We kind of have a fire drill going on so you might wanna get a move on… the scouts are giving us weird looks…"

Gurase gestured to a group of teachers that were checking for the fire that wasn't there.

Ryuuen and Nanuri both disappeared around the corner, heading outside. Seshiri walked next to Gurase, who was holding Saihitei's hand. "Explain to me something. WHY do they check for a fire if it's only a DRILL?!"

Gurase shrugged. "Who knows, who cares…" She turned to Saihitei, who was still half zoned out. "Helloooo…? Anybody home?" Saihitei shook his head slightly.

"Ah. Gomen Gurase-chan!" He said, smiling down at her. Chibi-Seshiri turned starry-eyed. "AAAHH KAWAIIIIII!!!!"

Clasping her hands together she looked over at the two. "Omg you guys are WAY cute together! It's no WONDER you guys win the 'Most Cutest Couple" award!"

Saihitei gave Gurase's hand a squeeze, smiling. "Well-""Oh. Holy. Jesus…" Saihitei frowned. "Seshiri, if you would let me continue-" Seshiri jumped over to the doors and threw them open.

Rushing outside she stared at the endless lines of students. "Where did he go?" She muttered to herself, scanning the crowd.

Gurase ran to catch up to her friend. "Where did who go?" "HIM….." Seshiri muttered, looking around. "OMG I WAS RIGHT!" Her jaw dropped as she stared at one of the guys talking to a small group.

Gurase looked over at the group. "What? I don't see anything special…" "Who is THAT?" Seshiri pointed at the guy. "That? That's Houjun….. Why?"

Seshiri stared at him. Chichiri! What's he doing here!? Aha this is rich, my old teacher being taught at the same school as me! But what's he doing, and how did he get here…?

Seshiri turned around to face Gurase when her jaw dropped again. "HOLY SHIT!" She yelled, staring behind Gurase. "WHAT?" Gurase said, spinning around.

A Chibi-Miaka was running closer to them, screaming. "SESHIRI!!!! GURASE!!! HOTOH-.. I mean GUY THAT GURASE IS WITH!"

SD Seshiri ran over to Miaka and hugged her. "MIAKA-CHAN! IT'S BEEN WAY TOO LONG! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CAME HERE!" "I didn't know you came here either!!!!!! Didn't you just die a while ago though?"

SD Seshiri sweat dropped. "Miaka-chan.." She whispered in a hushed voice. "Gurase hasn't remembered yet.." Miaka sweat dropped. "Oooh…. I see….. Hello person that I've never met before!" She said, turning to Gurase.

Gurase watched Miaka uneasily. "Er.. I'm Gurase…" Seshiri grinned at Gurase. "Will you excuse us a moment Gurase an Saihitei? I gotta little somethin' to discuss with Miaka…"

Seshiri pulled Miaka away from the two. "Miaka! Don't DO that! Do you REALIZE what could happen if they were suddenly 'awakened'? A TOTAL shock to the system!"

Miaka nodded, looking down. "Gomen." Seshiri smiled. "No problem…. By the way.. how are you and Tamahome doing?"

Miaka looked up grinning. "We're fine…." "In love as ever I presume?" Miaka nodded eagerly. "Ok, would you tell me who remembers?"

Miaka said, eyeing the crowd of students. "Well, Tasuki, Nanuri, Nuriko, me.. I think Hotohori remembers. As far as I know Gurase has NO idea… But, are the others here?"

Miaka nodded. "Hai! Didn't you notice! Mitsukake is even one of the TEACHERS!" Seshiri blinked. "Nani? What does he teach?" Miaka giggled. "Sex Ed!"

SD Seshiri laughed. "Poor Mitsukake!" Miaka continued, listing off the names. "I know Chichiri is here… I could have sworn I saw Chiriko as one of the Professors… Yui is here…. And so are…." Miaka paused, looking Seshiri in the eye.

"The Seiryuu Shichi Seishi…" Seshiri finished. Miaka nodded solemnly. "Now, I don't think any of them remembers… but… if they do then we need to be on the lookout…"

Seshiri was about to say something when flames burst out of the school windows.

Screams rang out as students fought to get away from the burning school. "AAAAGH WHAT THE HELL!?" Nanuri yelled, racing over to Seshiri with Ryuuen in tow.

"I thought it was a DRILL meaning there IS no fire!" Ryuuen nodded, "Hence the title: DRILL!!"

Saihitei pulled Gurase back to Seshiri and the others. "What's going on? I thought it was just a drill!" Nanuri nodded. "That's what WE thought it was but apparently.." "It's something different." Ryuuen finished, turning to glare at the burning building.

Genrou came running out of the building, stumbling as he headed towards them. He reached the group with amazing speed. Breathlessly he whispered, "I was with you guys the WHOLE time!"

Seshiri rolled her eyes. "WHAT did you do THIS time?" A herd of scowling teachers stomped their way over to the small group. "GENROU!" One the one in the lead roared. Genrou coughed. "Y-Yes ma'am?"

"THAT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT!" He smiled innocently. "Why, ma'am I've no idea what you are talking about! I've been here the whole time!" Saying this, he put his arm around Seshiri.

Oh you SO owe me for this! "Hai, he was! He walked out with us and hasn't left my sight since!" The teacher grunted. "Yes well miss Seshiri, you are NOT on my favorites list right now!"

Chibi-Seshiri paled. "I did NOT set that trash can on fire!" The teacher grunted again and rolled her eyes. "Come on." She said, directing her herd in another direction.

Seshiri smirked at Genrou. "You KNOW you owe me!" He laughed saying, "And I KNOW I can make it up to you!" Hugging her tightly. Gurase giggled, hugging Saihitei and whispering something into his ear.

Seshiri raised an eyebrow and watched them. "Care to share the joke?" Gurase shook her head. "Nooo I don't think I will, virgin!" This only resulted with laughter from those who had been present during lunch.

Genrou looked between the 5 of them. "Eh? I don't get it…" Miaka smiled and crossed her arms. "Don't worry Tas-kun, I don't get it either."

"Yes well YOU barely get ANYthing Miaka!" Genrou spat before he realized she had called him by his Shichi Seishi name. He glanced up at her quickly and she smiled, nodding. He turned to Seshiri who also nodded.

Gurase muttered, "I don't get it.. what's with all the nodding?!"

Out of nowhere the fire department came roaring up. Jumping out of their trucks they all raced over to the school with the hoses, trying to control the situation.

Nanuri looked around. Most of the panicked students had left, but only a few small groups remained.

Nanuri raised her hands up and yelled, "HEY! COME ON EVERYONE! LET'S GO OUT AND CELEBRATE!" This statement was greeted by loud cheers from all as they all walked off to the Ice cream parlor

~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~

Chibi-Seshiri pressed her face up against the glass drooling. "Mmmmm so many flavors!!!!!! I can't decide!"

Chibi-Genrou drooled as he ordered. "I'll have 2 scoops of the peach ice cream…."

The young man turned around, adjusting his hat. "Is that in a cup?" He looked up and gasped. "TASUKI!" He yelled, backing up. Genrou looked up.

"AMIBOSHI!" He growled, narrowing his eyes. Bystanders stared at the group. Seshiri grabbed Genrou, trying to hold him back. "TRAITOR!" Genrou yelled, trying to get free.

Name: Amiboshi

Occupation: Ice cream worker!

Age: 16

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Blue

Ryuuen quickly jumped up from his table and ran over to Genrou. "It's ok Seshi-chan, I got him." He grabbed onto Genrou and pulled him back. Seshiri turned to Amiboshi, wide eyed.

"Amiboshi!" She said in a hushed voice. OMG AMIBOSHI! What's he doing here? Well serving ice cream obviously.. but why is he HERE? Reincarnated?… it's stupid to believe that only WE were reincarnated… if the Suzaku Seishi are, why should I be surprised to see him like this? But.. he remembers! I wonder where Suboshi is….

Genrou calmed down. "I'm FINE…" He growled, freeing himself from Ryuuen's hold. Nanuri quickly walked over to them and whispered, "You might want to start acting normal.. people are staring…"

Seshiri whirled around and laughed nervously at the people staring at them. "Ehe… Gomen nasai minna-san…" She said, for everyone to hear.

Nanuri turned to Amiboshi. "I suggest you give him his ice cream…" Amiboshi nodded nervously. He grabbed the scooper, hand shaking and scooped up Genrou's ice cream.

Nanuri and Ryuuen both sat back down, sighing with relief. Genrou grabbed his ice cream and shoved a handful of bills into Amiboshi's hand. "Arigatou." He mumbled, walking over to the others.

Seshiri sighed. She leaned over the glass towards Amiboshi. "Ami-san. I think you should come meet us over there for a minute." Amiboshi nodded nervously. "And what are you having Seshi-chan?"

SD Seshiri looked back down. "MM I dunno! I'll have……. Cookie dough! Wait no I'll have the Strawberry! Wait… cookie dough… or strawberry… uhm.. no.. I.. I CANT DECIDE!"

SD Seshiri looked at the ice cream. "How about YOU decide for me? Wait no I'll just decide. No YOU can decide! No-" Amiboshi laughed, cutting her off. "How about you just have the Vanilla cookie?"

Chibi-Seshiri looked over at the Vanilla cookie. "Oh yeah that looks good! Uhm.. One scoop…" Amiboshi raised an eyebrow. "No… two… no.. one.. no-" He smiled. "I'll just give you two, in a cup.. ok?" She nodded. "Yeah yeah that's good."

He grinned and scooped her ice cream, handing it to her. She took it before taking out her money. Counting it out she handed it to him. "There ya go! Now, don't forget to come meet us." Amiboshi nodded and turned to the next customer.

"Arigatou!" Seshiri said, before skipping off to her table. As she sat down next to Genrou they all greeted her.

Saihitei said, "Seshi-chan, you guys got AMIBOSHI?" She nodded. "Hai. He's coming over in a minute…" She faced Genrou. "And I EXPECT you to behave. Ok?"

Genrou mumbled. "Ok…" Nanuri leaned in closer and whispered. "If you guys take a look around you'll notice that Chichiri is here… He's busy talking to TOMO!"

Seshiri gasped and looked up. "Where?" Miaka pointed, "Over there!" Seshiri gasped again as she saw Chichiri and Tomo talking in heated voices. "Ooooh looks like they're in an argument!"

Miaka nodded. "Hai." Seshiri turned back to them, noticing Gurase. "Guys… should we be talking about this when uh a non rememberer is here?"

Saihitei put his arm around Gurase smiling. "On our way over I helped Gurase to remember." Nanuri gagged. "Oh gods that sounds SO wrong, you know that right?"

Seshiri laughed as blushes spread across Gurase and Saihitei's faces. Trying to stop laughing she began to act serious.

"Ok. Time to act serious now." "You? Serious? I think a pig just flew by…" Nanuri laughed, grinning at Seshiri. Seshiri reached over and whapped Nanuri. "Shut up!"

Genrou smirked and put his arm around Seshiri's shoulders. "Hey, don't make fun of Seshi-chan! She wants to talk seriously, for once.. this may never happen again ya know!" "Hey!" Seshiri laughed, gently hitting Genrou's arm. Gurase laughed. "Get on with it already!"

Seshiri leaned in, whispering. "Ok, so… so far we have: Tamahome, Nuriko, Nanuri, Gurase, Hotohori, Amiboshi, Tasuki, and me who are definite rememberers.. now.. the others we know are here are Chichiri, Tomo, Chiriko, and Mitsukake… have we seen any of the others?"

Genrou frowned. "Even if we DID find everyone else, what would we do about it?" Ryuuen rolled his eyes.

"Tasuki, don't you think it's kind of strange that we're all together again?" Genrou shrugged. "Well…. I guess…" "So." Ryuuen continued. "There HAS to be a reason. We can't all just be reincarnated randomly together! It just doesn't fit!"

"Hai…" Genrou said. Saihitei frowned. "But, who else have we seen? We haven't seen EVERYone…"

Gurase sighed. "Well I have to admit I did see Nakago in study hall." Ryuuen turned to Gurase quickly.

"Are you serious?" He asked. Everyone turned to Gurase, holding in their breath. "Hai…" She said quietly. Hotohori pulled her close to her as she continued. "Of course THEN I didn't remember. So I didn't freak out or anything like that."

Seshiri froze. Oh gods. What if… if.. oh gods. Shit! If all of the others are being reincarnated, wont ASHITARE come back!? Even.. Miboshi? Seshiri gulped. Genrou hugged her. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing…" She said quietly. He frowned slightly and gave her a reassuring hug.

Amiboshi walked over to the group quietly. "Konnichiwa." He said in a small voice. Genrou looked over at him and glared. "Well look who's here. The traitor."

Miaka smacked Genrou. "Shut up baka!" She turned to Amiboshi. "Hey Ami-san, sit down."

"HOUJUN I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS!" A voice yelled out. Seshiri turned back quickly to see Chichiri, maskless, glaring at Tomo.

"MY problem? YOU just wont LISTEN to me!!" Tomo turned his back to Houjun. "FOR THE LAST TIME…" Houjun said in a very raised voice. "I am NOT bi! And for the last time I will NOT go out with you!"

Tomo wiped away a tear. "UNDERSTAND?" he finished, frowning at Tomo's back. "H-hai!" Tomo said, stuttering.

Nanuri bit back her laughter. "Nani?" She said quietly. "Tomo is asking out Chichiri? Does Chichiri remember?!" Ryuuen shrugged and put his arm around Nanuri. "I don't know but Chichiri doesn't look too happy about it…"

Miaka stood up. "Gomen minna-san I have to leave. I promised Yui I'd meet up with her at her house! Call me!" She said, heading out the door. "Ja ne!" Gurase called as Miaka left. They turned their attention back to Chichiri and Tomo.

Chichiri sighed angrily and headed for the door. SD Seshiri jumped up on her seat and called, "Oi! Chichiri-san! Come over here!" Houjun froze at hearing his Seishi name and looked over to them.

"HEY!" He yelled, grinning. Rushing over to the group, Chibi-Houjun smiled. "You all remember?! I wasn't sure and I didn't want to do anything that would MAKE you remember because well if you didn't that would be kinda bad for me!"

Seshiri stared at Houjun. "Oh. Holy. Jesus. You just said that WHOLE thing with not ONE no da!" Houjun sweat dropped. "Gomen. I just kinda stopped saying no da in this life no da… I broke the habit no da… DAMMIT NO DA! You got me started saying no da again no da!"

A/n: I'm just going to write their Seishi names now because it is WAY confusing for my poor little brain cell to handle everyone having like two names…

Chibi-Seshiri laughed. "Gomen Chichiri-san!" Chichiri grinned and sat down smiling. "Don't worry no da, it's ok no da…" Nanuri couldn't help but smile at him. "It's good to have Chichiri-san back! I really missed those no das!" Chichiri looked over at Nanuri. "I think I did too no da!"

Nuriko grinned saying, "So… Chichiri… What was that whole thing with Tomo?! Are you an him an 'item'?" Chichiri sweat dropped. "Daaaa!" Chibi-Chichiri fell over. He sat back up quickly and answered, "No no da!!!!! TOMO doesn't remember me, if he did he wouldn't ask me out anymore no da…"

Tasuki snorted. "So he's done it before? Poor you…. I never DID have a run in with Tomo. I kinda died before that.. would you guys mind filling me in on the Seiryuu Seishi that I didn't meet?"

Seshiri paled a little and laughed nervously. "Nooo you don't want to know about Tomo… no I don't think that I'm going to tell you about him…"

Chibi-Tasuki narrowed his eyes. "Heyyy why wont you tell me? What did he do?"

Chichiri cut in before he continued to pester Seshiri. "He created a fake world for us. I perfect world so we wouldn't know what was going on around us. We thought it was the capital of Sairou but it wasn't."

Tasuki nodded. "Hai….. and?" ." Nuriko shrugged. "He kind of just wiped us of our memory and replaced it with a knew, false memory." Nanuri nodded.

"He even made a fake YOU for Seshiri-chan!" Tasuki's job dropped. "NANI?! But.. you knew it wasn't him, RIGHT Seshi-chan?!" Seshiri sweat dropped muttering, "Thanks a LOT Nanuri…."

Baka Nanuri! Now look what you've done! I have to explain to Tasuki what Tomo did! Dammit. Thanks for screwin me over, you're a great friend, REALLY.. ugh… Might was well get it over quickly as possible…

She turned back to Tasuki. "Uhm… Well…. See… I KIND of knew it wasn't you, but it was really real.. so…." Tasuki stared at her wide eyed. "So?"

She continued quickly. "Well he planted false memories! So I didn't know! He made it seem like you hadn't EVER died, and that we were going to get married… and he acted just like you cause he tapped into my memory!"

Tasuki paused. "WHAT!? HE MADE IT SEEM LIKE I DIDN'T DIE?!" Nanuri rolled her eyes. "Baka, you have to see the details like. HE MADE IT SO THEY WERE GONNA GET MARRIED!"

Tasuki gasped. "He WHAT?!?!? You guys didn't get to the honeymoon, RIGHT?" Seshiri shook her head. "UGH no WAY! We didn't have a chance to get married!" Tasuki nodded smugly. "Good… Grrr…" He turned over and glared at the still sobbing Tomo.

Oh god no.. here it comes. What is he gonna do?

"I'm gonna go give him a piece of my mind!" Hotohori put his hand on Tasuki's arm. "Don't be so foolish! You would expose us completely! Tomo is DIFFERENT now, he wouldn't know who the hell you were OR what you were doing to him, and why.." Tasuki shrugged off Hotohori's hand and stood up. "I don't give a shit!" Gurase frowned and tried to make Tasuki stay.

"Tasuki! Baka! Do you TOTALLY want to blow our cover!?" Tasuki glared at her. "I told you… I. Don't. CARE." Saying that he walked over to Tomo in quick strides and tapped him on the shoulder.

God Tasuki! Stop doing this right now, you're only gonna get us all in trouble, TOTALLY blow our cover. And even worse… give Tomo back his memory! AGH! WHY does this soap opera stuff always happen to ME?!?!?!?

Tomo, thinking it was Chichiri, back to accept him, turned around smiling. "OH HOUJUN I KNEW YOU WOULD- huh? Who are YO-" Tomo was cut off as Tasuki slammed his fist into Tomo's jaw.

A crunch was heard as Tomo sent spinning by the force of the blow. He turned his back to Tasuki, caressing his jaw. Tasuki glared at Tomo's back.

"What the hell was that for?" Tomo muttered, wincing with each word. Tasuki growled. "THAT was for Seshi-chan…"

Tomo straightened up quickly and turned to face Tasuki. "What? Seshi-chan? Why is that so familiar?" Seshiri jumped up from her seat and raced over to where Tasuki was standing.

She turned to the crowd of people watching them. "Gomen nasai minna-san! Can you tell this guy is a trouble maker?" She laughed nervously, trying to ease the tension.

An awkward silence followed, no one dared to say anything. Except Tomo.

Tomo looked at Seshiri with wide eyes. "Do.. Do I know you from somewhere?" Seshiri shook her head. "No, no, no! Hah never seen you before in my LIFE!" Tomo frowned. "I could have sworn I'd seen you before…" SD Seshiri laughed nervously and pushed Tasuki away muttering. "Back to our table.. NOW..." He rolled his eyes. "Fine…"

She turned back to Tomo. "Well I guess I just have one of those faces! I get this all the time!" She quickly turned away from Tomo, trying to avoid a continue in the conversation, and walked quickly back to her table.

OMG THANK SUZAKU THAT'S OVER! I can't believe it! He almost recognized me! That was WAY too close! Hmm… What will happen if any of the Seiryuu Seishi remember what happened?

Will they try to kill us all off again? Why would they..? Suzaku was already summoned. Miaka already got her wishes. Not much they can do about it…. Seshiri sighed.

"Thanks a LOT Tasuki! Do you KNOW what you almost did?" He avoided Seshiri's glare and looked at his melted ice cream. "Gomen Seshi-chan…" She sighed and sat down in her chair.

She grinned. "Hehe that was pretty cool though!" She gave Tasuki a quick hug. "BUT that was SO damn close!!" Slumping down in her seat Nanuri continued for her. "That could have been a disaster! He could have remembered! WHAT would have happened THEN? 'Kakaka the homo' would be back, and that would NOT, I repeat, NOT be a good thing!"

Ugh I couldn't agree more… Sometimes Nanuri can actually make sense!

Gurase nodded as Hotohori put his arm around her. "I don't think that would be very good… do you Hoto-san?" He grinned. "Hai." He leaned over and tenderly kissed her, which resulted in loud whooping from their friends.

Chibi-Seshiri whistled. "Wooo "HOTO-SAN" and Gurase are really turning up the heat over there!" SD Hotohori and Chibi-Gurase blushed and smiled at the others as they laughed.

Woooooo go Gurase! Hehe this is so priceless!

"Ahem. SO.." Hotohori tried to change the subject. "Amiboshi! How are things going… do you know who has remembered?"

Amiboshi nodded. "H-hai Hotohori-sama… Suboshi remembers. I haven't met any of the others. I'm sure I saw Miboshi somewhere though… My brother pointed him out…"

Tasuki frowned as Seshiri turned pale. "Now what's wrong Seshi-chan? What did THIS guy do to you?" Seshiri gulped. "N-nothing Tas-kun…" He smirked. "Seshi.. I know you well enough by now to know that it's NEVER nothing…"

Nanuri quietly said, "You might as well tell him what Miboshi did. It's not like Miboshi is around to get beaten to a bloody pulp." Tasuki grew wide eyed and looked around the table. "What exactly did this little bitch do?!"

Gurase gulped. "Well… he…" Seshiri closed her eyes and took a breath. "I didn't tell you how I died, did I Tasuki?"

He shook his head. "No.. I figured it was of old age or something…" Seshiri took another deep breath and looked Tasuki in the eye. "Miboshi took control of my body." Tasuki stared at her breathlessly. "Nani?" He uttered in a quiet voice.

"He took over. I couldn't do anything. After a lot of struggle I took control." Nanuri looked down at the table with a melancholy expression. "Seshiri had to stab her arm with the prayer wheel." Tasuki stared at Nanuri. "Nani!??!?!"

Nuriko continued for Nanuri, hugging her. "And then Seshi-chan had to stab her leg to keep him from crushing us all…" Tasuki's breaths became quicker as he clenched and unclenched his fists.

Seshiri finished. "In the end… I had to.. I was forced to… I had to kill myself, with the prayer wheel." Chichiri nodded gloomily. "She couldn't be healed by Mitsukake, because then Miboshi inside her would heal too."

Tasuki's eyes narrowed as he clenched his jaw muttering. "So Miboshi led to your death?" Seshiri nodded, downcast. He growled. "Then I am going to have to take care of Miboshi.."

Seshiri sighed and leaned down on the table. Gurase stood up quickly. "We should go. I think we should go right now." They nodded and stood up. "Bye Ami-san… I'll see you later.." Seshiri walked over to Amiboshi. She grabbed a napkin and swiftly wrote her phone number down on it.


"Ok, this is my number. If you see ANY of the Seiryuu Seishi, call me, and I'll tell the others." He nodded silently. Smiling up at her he waved. "Sayonara minna-san!" "Sayonara! Ja ne!" They all called back to him as they walked off.

~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~

Seshiri held the phone away from her ear. "Damn girl do you have to talk so LOUD!? Talk about killing my ear drums!" She said, glaring at the phone which was a foot away from her ear.

On the other line Gurase rolled her eyes. "Gomen Seshi-chan! I don't MEAN to talk so loud, but when I'm REALLY excited I DO! So… BLAH!" Seshiri laughed, "Fine, fine. But please TRY to spare my ears!"

"Yeah ok. So today we are going to meet in the park!" Gurase said excitedly. Seshiri smiled. "Ok! I can't WAIT! I LOVE the park!" Gurase shouted. "OMG I KNOW it's SO beautiful!" "Iiiiieee!" Seshiri held the phone away from her ear again. Gurase shouted, "So we get there at 12:00… On the Park bench…. DON'T FORGET OK!?"

Seshiri grinned. "Ok, I get it." The conversation paused for a minute. "Ja ne!" They said in union, and hung up.

Hm. I'm SO glad they wont have the school back for a while! I can hardly believe they aren't trying to send us to another place to learn. Not yet anyway… it would take loads of money to send us there, and pay for the damage. I wonder if this means that our breaks will be shortened? Dammit that's no fun!

Seshiri sighed and plopped down on the couch. So.. I have about an hour until 12:00… what am I going to do until then? TV?

Seshiri picked up the remote and began to channel surf. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. No-wait…Seshiri flipped back a channel to see a face glaring at her. "About time!" Taiitsukun cackled.

Name: Taiitsukun

Occupation: Ruler of Universe

Age: really really old

Hair: white/gray

Eyes: black

Powers: Ruler of Universe (aka really powerful)

Chibi-Seshiri fell over. She jumped back and moved closer to the screen. "TAIITSUKUN-SAMA!" Taiitsukun smirked. "The very one." Seshiri frowned and tapped the TV screen. "What are you doing in my TV?" "BAKA" Taiitsukun roared. "I thought I taught you not to be so stupid!"

Seshiri sweat dropped. "Gomen nasai Taiitsukun-sama…" Taiitsukun nodded. "You are forgiven. Now a very urgent matter has come up-" Nyan-Nyan bounced in front of the screen waving. "KONNICHIWA SESHI-CHAN!!!" She said, giggling.

Name: Nyan-Nyan

Occupation: Taiitsukun's assistant

Age: old? Mind of a 5 year old…

Hair: green/blue

Eyes: dunno..

Powers: heal Taiitsukun's face?

Seshiri smiled. "Konnichiwa! Is Nyan-Nyan being good?" Nyan-Nyan nodded gleefully. "Nyan-Nyan being VERY good! But Taiitsukun-sama in BAD mood! Taiitsukun-sama not let Nyan-Nyan heal Taiitsukun-sama's face! AND Nyan-Nyan has a feeling Taiitsukun is going through menopa-"


Taiitsukun bashed Nyan-Nyan out of the way, cutting her off. "AHEM…." Seshiri tried to keep a straight face. "As you were saying?" Taiitsukun nodded. "As I was saying…"

Taiitsukun looked Seshiri in the eye. "As you may have already suspected I have a reason for doing the things I do. And I have gathered all of the Suzaku and Seiryuu Seishi together for a purpose."

Seshiri nodded. "Hai.." "And." Taiitsukun continued. "It is because there is a demon." "Nani?" Taiitsukun glared. "If you would let me finish I could explain!"

Seshiri looked down sheepishly. "Gomen nasai Taiitsukun-sama…" "AHEM. There is a demon of great power that has come to exist in the Universe of the Four Gods… Almost as powerful as me." Seshiri gapped.

"He has taken the Seiryuu no miko." "Yui?" "Hai… And the Seiryuu can not get her back alone. He captured her only hours ago and is scheming to capture the Suzaku no miko as we speak. You and the Suzaku Seishi must help the Seiryuu Seishi regain their miko before the Suzaku no miko is taken… Do you understand?"

Seshiri nodded in a daze. Taiitsukun sighed. "If this demon has the remaining miko then we shall be in very grave danger. He will use them as mediums to transport to Earth. He is not strong enough yet to leave this universe, but if he does…."

Seshiri looked at Taiitsukun and said, "But… What about the Genbu no miko and the Byakko no miko?" "They have not been reincarnated. Yet. Instead he has taken the Shinzahos."

Seshiri stared at her in awe. "Nani? The Shinzahos!?" Taiitsukun nodded solemnly. "Hai. The very same Shinzahos that you searched for. He is using them in place of the mikos, because he is very impatient and very greedy, and cannot wait any longer for the mikos to be reincarnated."

Seshiri shook her head. "No, this can't be happening!" Taiitsukun grunted. "Well it is… Now… If you will excuse me… Ja ne" The screen went black before it was filled with static.

Getting to her feet shakily Seshiri turned off the TV. Gods… What are we going to do now? We have to work WITH the Seiryuu Seishi? That's a little too hard. Especially since Tasuki wants to murder more than one of them…

Seshiri ran to the closet and grabbed her sweatshirt. I have to get to the park NOW! If my suspicions are correct, the Seiryuu Seishi AND the Suzaku Seishi will be there. And I do NOT want things to get ugly..

Seshiri slipped on her sweatshirt and put on her shoes, lacing them up. She quickly scribbled a note for her mom that she had gone to the park and would be back later, and grabbed the house key.

All ready? She asked herself. Ready! On to the park! Seshiri threw open the door and locked it behind her.

Turning around she raced off to the park.

~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~

Seshiri stopped at the park bench, out of breath. "Now if only I had passed my drivers test!" She said, gasping. She plopped down on the bench and looked around.

This IS where she said right? Seshiri looked down at his watch. 12:00…. Where is everyone? On cue they all slowly walked over to the bench.

Tasuki raced over to Seshiri and sat down next to her, putting his arm around her shoulders. "Hey Seshi-chan!" He said grinning, and kissed her cheek.

Nanuri and Nuriko walked over to them, hand in hand, fingers intertwined. Seshiri grinned over at them. "Konnichiwa!" They waved and stood next to Seshiri and Tasuki.

Miaka solemnly walked over to them with Tamahome in tow. "I have some serious news but wait until everyone gets here. Gurase and Hotohori came VERY slowly, stopping to kiss every few steps.

When they finally reached the small group they smiled. "Hey Miaka-chan!" Seshiri said, grinning.

"Tamahome-san!" She exclaimed. "Long time no see!" He nodded. "It's like seeing a ghost!" He turned to Tasuki. "Well two ghosts…." Tasuki rolled his eyes. "Well where's ice cream boy?"

Nanuri shrugged and looked around. "Coming.. I guess." Chichiri appeared next with Mitsukake's cat. "Hey minna-san no da!" He said, holding the cat. "Meeooowww…." Tama-neko said, purring.

Nuriko turned around to see Amiboshi running. "Here he is." Tasuki rolled his eyes. Amiboshi ran over to the group and stuffed his hat into his pocket. "Gomen nasai everyone! The boss was giving me a LOT of trouble!" Gurase smiled. "No problem."

"Now that everyone is here…" Tamahome began. Seshiri shook her head. "No, not everyone is here." They all stared at her. "Nani?" Tasuki asked, staring at her.

She looked over a him. "I said not everyone is here…." Nanuri raised an eyebrow. "Are you ok Seshi-chan?" Seshiri laughed.

"Yeah I'm ok!" Nanuri leaned down. "Did you forget to take your pills?" SD Seshiri laughed and swiped at Nanuri. "Baka! Taiitsukun came to me through the TV."

Hotohori blinked. "Er.. I am thinking that you start taking pills, if you aren't taking them already…"

Seshiri rolled her eyes. "I'm SERIOUS you guys! Taiitsukun came to me through the TV!" Tasuki patted her shoulder. "Er.. Don't worry Seshi-chan… we.. uh.. believe you…"

Seshiri protested. "No! I am SERIOUS! She came and told me about this demon thing taking over Universe of the Four Gods! Just you wait. Soon EVERYONE will get here! And I mean everyone, Seiryuu AND Suzaku… and Tasuki do NOT beat anyone to a bloody pulp because we need to work WITH them!"

Gurase felt Seshiri's forehead. "Seshiri.. maybe you should go lay down…" Seshiri rolled her eyes. "Just you guys wait, you'll see…."

Out of nowhere a car pulled out. Stepping out a tall figure walked over to them. "Konnichiwa." A deep voice said. Seshiri smirked and leaned back. "Hello Mitsukake." The others all stared at him, eyes wide, mouths open.

Name: Mitsukake

Occupation: Teacher

Age: 22

Hair: Black

Eyes: Black?

"Um… What am I doing here?" He asked. "Who are all you, and how did you know my name?" Seshiri waved her hand at him, smiling smugly saying, "Hmm… Don't remember? Oh just wait for a while… Then everything will be explained." Tama-neko padded over to Mitsukake and meowed, looking up at him.

Mitsukake instinctively picked up the cat and pet it. "Hmm.." Tasuki stared at Seshiri. "Seshi-chan. How did you know that they would come?" Seshiri rolled her eyes. "I TOLD you! Taiitsukun came through my TV and told me!" Chibi-Nanuri frowned, thinking. "Hmm… So does that mean everyone else will come?"

Seshiri nodded. "Hai." Suddenly Chiriko rode by the group on a bike. He glanced over in their direction and skidded to a stop. "Hey…" He called out. He jumped off his bike and walked over to them. "Do I know you?"

Name: Chiriko

Occupation: Teacher

Age: 13

Hair: Light Brown

Eyes: Green

Chibi-Chichiri kneeled down next to Chiriko. "Hai no da!" Chiriko frowned. "This is some strange form of Déjà vu." Mitsukake thoughtfully pet Tama-neko. "Hai…." Miaka turned to Seshiri. "So you said the Seiryuu guys are coming TOO?!" Seshiri nodded, smiling gleefully. "Mwahahaha I am NOT crazy! It is all turning out to be just as I said!"

SD Gurase blinked. "Well yeah it's turning out like you said but that doesn't mean you aren't crazy!" Hotohori turned around as a large jeep pulled up. Out jumped Suboshi, Soi, and Tomo.

Name: Suboshi

Occupation:

Age: 15

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Blue

Name: Soi

Occupation: waitress

Age: 19

Hair: Brown/red

Eyes: Blue/Green

Amiboshi took a step back as his brother sauntered over. "Konnichiwa." He sneered, glaring at the Suzaku Seishi. Soi pushed him out of the way and smiled at the Suzaku Seishi. "Hello." She said. Smiling sweetly she looked all of them over. "So nice to see you again…" Her eyes reached Miaka and she glared. "I remember you." She sneered. "Suzaku no miko."

Tomo looked over the Suzaku Seishi without interest before he began to inspect his nails. "I don't know WHAT we are doing here, Soi-chan." Soi rolled her eyes and turned to Tomo. "Baka. Nakago-sama ordered it, for his own reasons I suppose. But he DID order it so we HAVE to be here."

Tomo smirked. "Kakaka… This should be interesting." Tasuki glared at Tomo. "Remembered have you? Given up on Chichiri?" Tomo turned red and turned to Tasuki. "You ARE going to pay. With one snap of my fingers I could put you into an illusion world!" Seshiri rolled her eyes. "Cut the crap Tomo and stop pretending. If you haven't already noticed, none of you have your Seishi marks!"

Tomo muttered and began to examine his nails again. A VERY short bald man walked his dog by the group. The dog went wild at Tama-neko and barked furiously. Nuriko took a breath and whispered, "It's Ashitare! In wolf form!" The dog growled at the group and tugged at it's leash.

Name: Ashitare

Occupation: Pet

Age: 34

Fur: Gray/Brown

Eyes: Black

The short man talked to the dog. "What is it Ashitare?" He looked up and gasped. "You!" He shouted, pointing at Seshiri. Seshiri turned pale and she moved closer to Tasuki. Nuriko grabbed Nanuri, holding her back. "YOU! MIBOSHI! BASTARD YOU KILLED SESHI-CHAN! IF YOU HADN'T" Nuriko shushed her. "Nanuri! Calm down! That was in the past life! Calm down." Nanuri kept trying to fight him off. "No Nuriko-san! No!…. It's Miboshi!…."

Name: Miboshi

Occupation: dog trainer

Age: 33

Hair: Bald…..

Eyes: Black/Red

Soi stood in front of Miboshi protectively. "You better get your friends under control. You hurt any of the Seiryuu Seishi and you will pay! Big time!"

Tasuki hugged Seshiri, glaring at Miboshi who was cowering behind Soi. "Seshi-chan… Can I PLEASE hurt him?" Seshiri cleared the lump in her throat, shaking her head. "No. Gomen everyone but we can't harm them… We have to work WITH them…" Gurase turned to Seshiri. "PLEASE Seshiri? Can't we hurt them just a LITTLE bit?" Seshiri shook her head. "No! Wait until Taiitsukun comes."

A black viper pulled up, screeching to a stop. Nakago got out of the car and walked over to them.

Name: Nakago

Occupation: Millionaire

Age: 21

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Blue

"Konnichiwa." Tamahome grumbled to Miaka. "Fashionably late, as usual." Tamahome hugged Miaka and frowned at Nakago. "Hello Nakago. Long time no see." He said, glaring.

Tasuki growled. "Ok, THIS bitch, we HAVE To hurt! Ya know? Gotta have some payback!" Taiitsukun appeared floating in the air. "I am afraid not Tasuki." Everyone turned Chibi and fell over. Ashitare whimpered. Taiitsukun glared at him. "Baka!" She cursed.

SD Tasuki looked up at Taiitsukun, whining. "Taiitsukun-sama! Do you HAVE to do that!? I mean why can't you just WALK like all NORMAL people!?" Chibi-Seshiri whapped Tasuki. "Baka, do you WANT to make her mad?" Chibi-Tasuki turned pale. "No! Shit, HELL no!"

Taiitsukun grunted. "Hmph. As some of you already know, we are all gathered here for a reason. Seiryuu no miko, Yui, has been captured by a demon." Suboshi gasped, clenching his fists. Taiitsukun turned to Suboshi. "Save it lover-boy. There's more." Nakago leaned against a tree, scowling.

"This demon is trying to take over Universe of the Four Gods, as well as this world. He is using Yui, as well as the Shinzahos from the past Mikos." Chichiri nodded. "This makes sense no da. Does that mean he is going to take Miaka-chan?" Taiitsukun nodded. "Hai. He will suck Miaka back into the book as soon as possible. Your mission is to rescue Yui with the help of the Seiryuu Seishi, and stop Miaka from being captured." SD Nanuri said, "This message will self destruct in 3 seconds."

They turned Chibi and stared at her. "Nani?" Miaka laughed. "SOME one has been spending too much time watching Mission Impossible." Nanuri sweat dropped. "Gomen… minna-san…" Taiitsukun rolled her eyes. "As I was saying. Two of the Seishi still haven't remembered. So I will give them back their memory. And to the rest of you. I will give you back your powers…."

Tasuki grinned, cracking his knuckles and glaring at Miboshi. "BUT!" Taiitsukun continued, watching Tasuki. "You all must make a pact of some sorts saying you wont go around KILLING each other!" Tasuki muttered. "Dammit." "If ANY of you break this pact, you might as well scrap the whole mission. Miaka will be taken. And the Demon will rise to power, which would mean destruction for all mankind."

Sighing Seshiri stood up. "Ok everyone. Time to make a pact." "No crossed fingers!" Nanuri added, glaring at Suboshi who quickly uncrossed his. They all got to their feet and stood in a circle. Nakago refused to put his hand in the center. "Nakago! Come ON!" Seshiri exclaimed, glaring at him. "We're all waiting for you!" Mitsukake and Chiriko looked at each other. "I still do not quite understand…" Chiriko said quietly. Taiitsukun snapped her fingers and suddenly Chiriko and Mitsukake froze for a moment.

Chiriko shook his head. "Nani? Woah…" Mitsukake smiled. "It's good to remember!" He said, laughing. Hotohori sighed. "Can we hurry along?" They all nodded. Nakago reluctantly put his hand in the circle as the others joined him.

Gurase frowned thoughtfully. "Taiitsukun-sama. This guy isn't more powerful than you, right?" Taiitsukun snorted. "Of COURSE not!" Gurase looked up at her. "Then why don't YOU stop him?" Taiitsukun sweat dropped. "Because, baka, my job is not to take care of this whole thing! All I can do is show you the right path so YOU can beat him. I am only allowed to help 'so' much.."

Nanuri raised an eyebrow. "So basically you sit back and watch while we do all the dirty work?" Taiitsukun nodded. "Hai." Suboshi grumbled. "That's not fair!"

"OK! Everyone! Make the pact already!" Seshiri yelled, trying to get everyone focused. They all nodded. "Ok." Seshiri continued. "You all have to SWEAR to Suzaku AND Seiryuu that you will NOT harm ANY of those on the Seiryuu OR Suzaku 'teams'…. Got it?" They all grumbled, but nodded anyway.

The second they had finished Taiitsukun smiled, snapping her fingers. Instantly the group was transported to the Universe of the Four Gods. Seshiri looked around. "Ah. Home sweet home!" She exclaimed, looking around Taiitsukun's palace.

Miaka laughed. "Ooh I REMEMBER this place!" Hotohori nodded. "This DOES bring back many memories." Seshiri sighed. "It's been a while since I've been here." Taiitsukun waved her hands. "OK! If you all haven't already noticed, you all are dressed in your normal attire." Seshiri looked down, grinning gleefully. "Wow. This is GREAT Taiitsukun!" She exclaimed, happy to be in her old clothes.

Tasuki smirked and waved his tessen around. "Boo yeah!" He said, laughing. "ARIGATOU TAIITSUKUN-SAMA!" Chibi-Tasuki said, putting his tessen back.

Nuriko smiled and admired his bracelets. "Arigatou Taiitsukun-sama! Beautiful! I'd forgotten what it was like to have accessories like THESE!" Taiitsukun smiled, satisfied. "Your Seishi powers HAVE returned, and I have put a little guard on them so you cannot harm any of the Suzaku or Seiryuu Seishi." Tomo's mouth dropped. "Nani, then what was that pact for?"

Taiitsukun shrugged. "That was for betraying your new friends, Tomo. This is just an extra safety measure." Tomo turned around and glared at the wall.

Hotohori put his arm around Gurase. "So, Taiitsukun, when do we start looking for this Demon?" Taiitsukun raised her hands. "Right now."

Seshiri walked over to Taiitsukun. "Taiitsukun-sama!" She said. Taiitsukun paused, looking at Seshiri. "Nani?" "Does this Demon have a name?" Taiitsukun nodded gravely. "Hai. Yokoshima."
