A/N: I do not own Fushigi Yuugi, Yuu Watase does.

Recap: "Now that the men are out I will tell you about your powers." She said to the four girls, Miaka listening in. End of Recap

Diaski, Chirala, Amibiou, and Nurio listened intently, as Taitsukun began to speak.

"Diaski, your power is sword fighting, and you have gentleness. Chirala, you have the healing power, and you have very strong magic powers. Amibiou, you have the power of extreme intelligence. Nurio, Superhuman Strength is your power. If you once perform these powers, your symbols will appear."

As Taitsukun finished her little talk a sword appeared in Diaski's lap. A special, holy potion in Chirala's. A scroll in Amibiou's. And last of all, a pair of beautiful red bracelets that had one little jewel in the front, on each appeared in Nurio's. Miaka stared awkwardly at them.

As they stared at their new possessions, Taitsukun clapped her hands together twice and four Nyan Nyans walked in. "They will take you to your rooms." Taitsukun said as the Nyan Nyans waited for the five girls to stand.

They stood and walked out with the Nyan Nyans not even replying to Taitsukun. As they walked towards their rooms, Tamahome's head popped out of a room. He beckoned to Miaka. She quietly said goodbye to her friends and went to join him.


The Nyan Nyans disappeared after taking the girls to their rooms. Nurio and Chirala were staying in a room together, and Amibiou and Diaski were in a room together. It was pretty late so all the girls decided to go to sleep.

In the morning the girls all got dressed, the two Nyan Nyans came to take them to the room where they would be eating. When they got to the room they found Tasuki, Chichiri, Tamahome, and Miaka already there.

A couple of minutes later Taitsukun appeared in her chair at the end of the table where they were eating.

She seemed to have noticed that no one were talking except for Tamahome and Miaka, who were having a very silent conversation at the other end of the table.


After they finished the meal Taitsukun spoke up very loudly. "Now that we are finished I would like the women to come out to the training grounds with me." She said clearly.

"Okay." All five girls said at once. Tamahome and Tasuki seemed very annoyed that they weren't invited to come.

The girls stood up and followed Taitsukun outside and onto the training grounds. When they got there Taitsukun began speaking again.

"Miaka could you go into that shed over there and bring out the pole that you will find?" she pointed to the nearby shed.

Miaka nodded, then walked into the shed, walking back out minutes later carrying a large metal pole. Taitsukun took the pole from her, and then put a spell on it. The spell made it turn into a robot-looking thing that could actually move.

"This will be your test Diaski. You must fight with the pole, using the sword I gave you." She announced.

After Taitsukun finished speaking the pole/robot-thingy lept at Diaski, nearly knocking her to the ground. Diaski then grabbed her sword off the ground, where she had laid it only minutes ago.

She slashed at the creature feebly, then suddenly it jumped at her, injuring her arm. She looked at it in anger then all of the sudden a red mark appeared on her neck just above her collar. It flashed brightly as she gripped her blade tighter then sliced through the creature neck.

The pole went back to normal, and fell to the ground, all of the other women stared at her in shock. "What's wrong?" Diaski asked the people staring at her.

"Y-Your neck. It has a Chinese marking on it." Chirala stated, eyes wide.

"What are you talking abo-.." She cut herself off when she looked down. She could see red light coming from her neck, then suddenly it began to fade.

"What was that thing on my neck Taitsukun?" She asked hastily.

"It was your seishi symbol." She said calmly. "It shows that you are a protector of the Priestess of Suzaku."

"Oh. What about the others? Will they get the symbols too?" Diaski asked.

"Once each of you has practiced your power, your symbol will appear." Taitsukun said getting a little bit annoyed at the questions.


Two hours later all of the girls walked into their rooms, each of them sweating like a pig. All of them changed and then went down to dinner.

"What's wrong with you?" Tasuki asked Diaski, who looked very exhausted.

"None of your beeswax." She answered, sitting down across from him. Tasuki kept on glancing at her over dinner.

During dinner Taitsukun noticed that people were actually talking to each other. Nurio, Chirala, and Chichiri were deep in conversation about what happened last time Miaka had come through the book. Tasuki, Amibiou, and Diaski were talking about the real world, Tasuki wide eyed of course. She also noticed that at the end of the table, Miaka and Tamahome were trying to kiss each other's lips off.

After dinner Nurio, Diaski, Chirala, Amibiou, and Miaka walked up to their rooms, the men came up a few minutes later. Only ten minutes passed, before a NyanNyan came up and Chirala that Taiitsukun wished to speak to her.

Chirala walked down to where Taitsukun was with the NyanNyan. When she walked in she noticed that Chichiri was there also. "Taitsukun why did you need to speak with me?" Chirala asked.

"I have something to discuss with the two of you." Taitsukun motioned for them both to sit down. They did so and Taitsukun began speaking.
