Chapter 4- Tamahome, May Be More Than a Friend
Tamahome and Saizu were silent. Sitting there next to the pond looking at it. Tamahome still held her tight in his arms till he knew she was okay. Saizu looked at Tamahome's wrist and smiled. He was still wearing the silver bracelet she gave him. Tasuki one of the celestial warooiors walked outside."Ey' Tamahome enough with the romance and bring that girl with ou all of us celestial warriors are havin' a party." Tamahome showed a weird grin on his face."I forgot to introduce you to Tasuki, and Tasuki this is our new priestess Saizu." Tasuki stared at them in a funny way. Tamahome and Saizu stood up."Well let's go to this party." Said Tamahome. Saizu and Tamahome started walking twoards the palace. Tamahome held Saizu's hand and Saizu smiled and blushed. They walked inside and saw Hotohori and the rest of the celestial warriors. They were all enjoying themselves, talking, laughing, and drinking sake. Saizu thought that this would be a great way to get to know everyone better. Tamahome went to go chat with Chichiri and Mitsukake. Saizu decided to go and talk to Nuriko first."Hey Nuriko what's up?" "Nothing really but I see that you and Tamahome are getting closer." Nuriko had a grin on her face. Saizu blushed."Yeah I guess." She giggled."Well hey tonight you should come in my room and I can give you a makeover, we can talk more." "Sure that sounds like fun." Saizu smiled.
Nuriko smiled and then walked away. Saizu walked over to Tasuki."Hi i'm Saizu." She held out her hand. Tasuki just looked at her."So your the new priestess?" "Yeah I am." "You know you kinda look like Miaka." Saizu gave a weird smile."Uhh thanks I guess." "Here have a drink." Tasuki handed Saizu a cup of saki. Saizu drank the whole thing in just seconds and poured herself another. She got so many that she ended up drunk. Saizu then walked wobbly over to Tamahome who was telling a really stupid joke to Chichiri."Hey Tamahome how are you doin?" Saizu smiled."Umm Saizu are you alright." Said Tamahome with a worried look."I'm fine heehee." Then Saizu collapsed to the floor. Tamahome caught her before she hit the floor."I guess makeovers tonight are out of the question." Said Nuriko. Tamahome then carried Saizu to her room and layed her on her bed. Tamahome got a chair and sat right next to her bed. Then he leaned over and softly kissed her on her lips. Tamahome fell asleep in the chair a couple minutes afterwards.
The next morning Tamahome was woken up by Hotohori which had a worried look on his face."Hey Hotohori what's going on?" "I'm afraid I have some bad news. You see the Seiryu celestial warriorshave been resurrected, including Nakago which is a real big problem." Tamahome couldn't speak. He was so shocked he couldn't even move."Sadly Yui is again their priestess. I guess she never learned her lesson from the last time." Said Hotohori."Yes I already knew that. Saizu told me." "Our empire will be under heavy guard this time. We don't want anything even worse than last time. We don't want anyone else killed." Hotohori said in sadness."I will see you at breakfast in thirty minutes." Hotohori said as he left. Tamahome walked over to the peaceful sleeping Saizu and woke her up."Breakfast is in thirty minutes so you might want to change." Tamahome leaned over and kissed her then left the room. Saizu blushed and wondered what just happened. The servants then walked in and got her dressed in a very beautiful blue dress. Saizu walked out of her room. Istead of tripping on her dress she walked straight into the door."Hehe oops I guess I forgot to open it." Everyone started laughing. Saizu then made her way to the dining room and sat down.
