Song I am listening to: Picture of you by Boyzone

They found themselves totally and utterly lost.

"Hey, Soi, is this even the right way to the Suzaku Seven? It does not look like anyone's going to frequent this place…"

"I'm quite surprised that this is not an illusion you cooked up, Tomo. But sure, I believe it's here. They said that a group of strange people passed through their town, so I think they might've visited that Konan Emperor, and his house was nearby."

"But this is a graveyard!"

"There's something about this graveyard that draws me…"

"Soi, let the graveyard draw only you! I am not attracted to cemeteries! And why are we by this graveyard?"

"Tomo, I know you know that all the deceased people here went up to heaven! If not, they are reincarnated like us!"

"Soi, I must remind you that there are earthbound spirits everywhere! Spirits with regrets to this world! They could not let go of a particular thing, so they remain wandering around their grave!"

Soi was flabbergasted. "Tomo, snap out of your jittery self now!"

"May I ask for your occupation here? You must realise that you are standing on my grave…" a rich voice said. Soi and Tomo were frightened out of their wits, simultaneously hugging each other desperately. "Wait, the one with the red hair looks familiar…"

Soi let go of Tomo unceremoniously. "You mean me?" she saw the speaker. "Wait a minute, a ghost couldn't be that beautiful…"

"Ah, yes…I forgot to introduce myself…I'm Hotohori, one of the Suzaku Seven, and I was an emperor once in this country," Hotohori said, and lifted a hand to Miaka, "…and this is my miko."

"As if we could forget that irritatingly naive face..." Tomo muttered, dusting her sleeve. "And what do you mean by 'my grave', huh?"

"Oh, you are standing on the burial site of my brother. He is dead."

"No one's ever been buried and still stay alive! Of course he's dead!" Soi retorted. She turned to his brother's grave and said, "I really pity you, brother of the star Hotohori. Having a boring brother who states the obvious…that's unbearable…"

"I agree," Tomo said. "But, where is the Suzaku Seven? I only see one star here…"

"What do you want with us? There's practically nothing to fight over in this life… how did you remember?" Hotohori wanted to know.

"Oh, there were two women who were very good friends. Suddenly, Soi met Nakago and remembered everything. Then she started to act very weird. One day, she slapped me was demanded for Nakago back after I've assisted Nakago in his studies. I was very bewildered. Then comes to the time when I remembered…when the opera troupe came…well…" Tomo said sadly.

"Sounds really heartbreaking…you must've loved acting so much!" Miaka said.

"Strange, the only people who understands me happened to be my rivals in my previous life!" Tomo mused.

"I'm insulted! I'm not your enemy in your last life!" Soi huffed.

"You are my rival in love!"

"That's so true!"

Hotohori turned to Miaka. "I did not know the Seriyu seven had such a good relationship with one another…I thought they were always so cold to one another."

"That's right…they have turned 180 degrees…it's amazing…"

"Taka, stop raking your hair out over Miaka. Hotohori's not doing anything."

"HE MIGHT BE SAVING UP HIS ENERGY FOR LATER!"

"Miaka would always stay true to you! You know that!"

"I don't!"

Keisuke turned to the phone. "Tetsuya, I have to say that Taka's condition was just as bad as 5 minutes ago. Remind me not to go obsessing over Mayo; I wouldn't want to be like Taka…"

"You've got to remind me not to go obsessing over Yui too, because I could actually see myself in Taka's state…that's scary. Miaka had this power over him that I could not comprehend..."

"All women had that power, Tetsuya."

"Try bribing Taka."

Keisuke put down the phone on the table. "Taka, I can give you your desired amount of money, if you could just keep quiet…"

"MIAKA IS GETTING RAPED AND YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MONEY?"

"Seems like he prioritized Miaka over money, and that's very very very scary. I never thought anyone would love that brat that much…seems that I am very wrong."

"Where in the world is that damned Nuriko? Reika…Shien!"

"She went to find the source of the demons, no da. Kai ha!"

"Then where in the hell's Nakago? Reika Shien! "

"He went along with Nuriko, no da! Mutter mutter mutter ha!"

"WHAT THE HELL! PUT THE GENERAL OF SEX AND EVIL TOGETHER WITH THAT DAMNED CROSSDRESSER? Reika Shien!"

"They've known each other for a very long time, no da."

"Like hell! Reika Shien!"

"Kai ha! Believe what you will then, no da!"

Miiru looked at the crowd of people targeting the Suzaku Warriors. "They are thinning out. I wonder why…Ren, do you hear me? The monsters are thinning out, but I do not think the problem's resolved. What's one possible reason?"

"Either they are dying off because Nuriko and Nakago had defeated the source, or they are going off to another place to fight another enemy…" Ren replied softly. "However, the pair had just started out on their mission…it could not be that fast …"

"Oh dear…Chichiri! The zombies are going off to find Miaka and Hotohori! What are we going to do?"

"It's not the time to get damned hysterical! Reika Shien!"

"Wait! I do not think they are going to find Miaka and Hotohori. The last time Tasuki went off with Miaka, the zombies attacked in full force to Nuriko and I, and none to Tasuki and Miaka."

"That's strange…" Ren muttered, fighting off two zombies. "One might've thought they would be targeting the Suzaku no miko…unless they wanted to attack the medium in which the Suzaku no miko summons with…"

Miiru saw the light and gasped. "Nuriko, they are originally attacking Nuriko! No wonder they did not give chase to Miaka! If she dies, then Miaka could not summon the beast god like she was supposed to! It's would be killing two birds with one stone - Nuriko was also a Seishi of Suzaku! This way, Miaka could never summon the beast god, unless Nuriko's spirit come down again to assist her..."

"But why? Reika Shien! Nuriko is just a medium! She was not supposed…to be the original one summoning Suzaku!"

"That's because she's our last hope, no da!"

"WHAT? We could not date another girl to take her place?"

"All the unengaged virgins were slaughtered throughout Konan…" Miiru started. "That's why Nuriko, Soi and Tomo are engaged to Nakago…it's to save their lives…only the harem women are unharmed…"

"DAMN, we've got to finish this quick!"

Miboshi did not see Chiriko in their team, but he thought that he would come along later. He decided to keep a close eye on the source of all the zombies. Something tells him that the person summoning the demons was related to him in some way. Miboshi leapt like a leopard from roof to roof and melted into the forest. He scanned the environment and saw the source of the problem. "Hum, so this is where you have landed..."
