recap "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. recap
"Chirala, I did not tell this to you earlier. You do not only have the ability to heal, but also the ability bring those whom you wish back to life."
Chirala and Chichiri stood dumbstruck. "Whaaaaat?" Chirala asked in disbelief, giving Taitsukun a look as if the old woman had lost her marbles. "Dead… back to life? Me? I can do… what?" she spluttered.
Chichiri looked at Taitsukun a smile trying to appear on his face. "You mean she can bring Mitsukake, Chiriko, Hotohori, and Nuriko back, ya' know?"
"If she wishes." Taitsukun stated, looking to Chichiri, and then to Chirala.
Chirala looked at Chichiri weirdly. "Who are Mitsukake, Chiriko, Hotohori, and Nuriko?" She asked him.
Chichiri looked to Chirala, and replied, "They are the Suzaku warriors that died, when we first summoned Suzaku…"
" Oh… So Taitsukun, how is it that I can bring these people back to life? I mean, don't I have to have a DNA sample or something?" Chirala asked, quite confused now.
"Of course not! You must use your healing power like you would on a normal person but on a spirit instead, and that makes the spirit alive. When the spirit returns to its body, the body's brain and heart will start to function again." Replied Taitsukun. "There is just one thing I must warn you. The power will not work on any spirit that's body has been dead for longer than a period of five years."
Chirala stared at Taitsukun in surprise, before wrinkling her nose slightly. "I hope that the bodies go back to their original states, rather than staying the way they probably are – ya' know, decaying and such..." she said.
"Of course they will. Do you think I'm an idiot?" Taitsukun asked in a very irritated tone.
Chirala blinked, and then laughed nervously, shaking her head. "No, no, of course not..." she said.
Taitsukun looked over at Chichiri who was standing to the side a few feet away. "Chichiri, the reason you are here is that you are needed to help her to summon the spirits of Hotohori and Chiriko." She said, pointing to Chirala.
Chichiri stepped forward a bit, glancing at Chirala, before turning his head to Taitsukun. "Oh? How can I help her Ya' know?" he asked. Chirala glanced at him, then looked back at Taitsukun, and nodded her head. "Yeah, how can he help me? And when should I start this? Do I need to have the bodies here while I do it?" she questioned.
"Chichiri, the reason she needs you to help is, she is not strong enough to do this by herself. You will need to bond with her while she is summoning. And incase you didn't notice, the bodies are already here." She said pointing to the two coffins in the corner of the room.
Chirala and Chichiri looked to the coffins, and Chirala blinked, looking back to the floating old woman, before standing up, and walking over to the coffins, kneeling down and running her hand over the wooden surface of the one closest to her. Chichiri walked over next to her, and kneeled down next to her, before looking back at Taitsukun. "Alright... how do I bond with her? I think I already know, but I'm not sure I'm correct, you know..."
Chirala looked up from the coffins to Taitsukun. "I believe I know how. We kind of have to…uh….kiss, don't we?" Chichiri looked at Chirala slightly confused. How would she know that?
Taitsukun nodded then spoke up again. "After you kiss, you must enter eachother's body." Chirala and Chichiri looked up in surprise. "After kissing, place your hands on the side of eachother's heads just above the ear. Then touch your foreheads together. After doing this you will be both mentally and physically bonded. You will know the other's memories, and think their thoughts, but will still be in your own body also. You will need to say the words 'Nhat Nuca' I am leaving now, I will see all of you at dinner. " Taitsukun disappeared.
"Okay, I think I know how now." Chirala said. She walked over to Chichiri, and then they both went to their knees.
Chichiri lowered his lips to Chirala's; he was amazed to feel how soft they were. He released his lips from her then placed his hands in the places Taitsukun had instructed. Chirala placed her hands just above Chichiri's ears. Then they touched their foreheads together.
They both felt a great sensation after they touched their foreheads together. It was like seeing out of each other's eyes. They both whispered the words 'Nhat Nuca' at the same time.
Suddenly two silver orb shaped forms of mist appeared in front of them. Chichiri let go of Chirala's head and Chirala did the same. They both stood up and looked at the orbs. Except the orbs weren't there anymore.
The orbs had materialized into two humans, full of life. Both were looking around themselves in aw.
"Chiriko. Your Highness!" Chichiri exclaimed then ran and hugged each of them. "I'm so glad you're back ya' know!"
"Chichiri, how did this happen? Chiriko and myself were dead." Hotohori the young Emperor asked.
"I have never heard of such a thing as bringing the dead back to life, except for miss Shouka." Chiriko said.
"Well we have four more seishi. Chirala.." Chichiri pointed to Chirala. "And myself brought you back to life Ya' know. If you come with us you can meet the other three. Ya' know."
Hotohori smiled. "That will be nice."
Chichiri walked out the door, Chirala, Hotohori and Chiriko followed.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
They all walked towards the end of the hall where the rest of the girls, Tamahome, and Tasuki were waiting in their rooms.
They all walked into the room that Nurio and Chirala were staying in. "I'll go and get them." Chirala announced as she walked back out of the room.
Minutes later she walked back in followed by Diaski, Amibiou, Nurio, Tasuki, Miaka, and Tamahome.
Miaka gasped and ran towards Hotohori, hugging him as if there was no tomorrow. He laughed and hugged her back. "It is so good to see you Miaka."
Miaka laughed also, tears began to fall from her eyes as she hugged him. She let go and hugged Chiriko. Then she walked over to Chichiri, as to question him.
Tasuki grabbed Chiriko and hugged him so hard; Chiriko began choking from loss of air. "I'm glad your back Chiriko." he grinned.
"I'm glad to see you Tasuki." Chiriko stuttered, gasping for breath.
After the happy reunion, they all turned to Chichiri for an explanation. "Chichiri what happened?" Tamahome asked.
