OVA 1: Part Two
Flash of Grief
Tamahome sat outside the imperial estate where he was staying. 'Why did she call me Nakago? Nakago's dead! Besides, he had blond hair and blue eyes, which I don't...' "Lord Nakago...Lord Nakago? Your evening meal is ready... ...Not eating...isn't healthy...Lord Nakago." Kaen said as she came to the doorway. Tamahome turned, enraged. "Don't call me Nakago! I'll come...if you...promise not to call me that." She nodded silently. He came in and sat down to eat. "Tell me again...how did this character appear on my forehead?" She sighed. "Nakago-I beg your pardon, when you destroyed the Suzaku Seven and their Celeste Warrior...when you defeated the one called Tamahome in the battle in another world...You were going to fufill your wish and bring peace to this world...but you fell into a deep sleep. Now, even though you've been revived, you aren't yourself. Somehow...your memory has been switched...exchanged with Tamahome's..." Tamahome stood up furiously. "I don't believe any of that! I am Tamahome of the Suzaku Warriors!" Kaen started crying. "Then kill me! That's what you should do if I am lying! You can kill me the moment you're certain I am! It would be a simple thing to do for you!" She calmed down then and pulled out a small paper packet. Pouring the contents into a bowl of water, she said quietly "This will help ease your nerves..." She stirred it, and took a sip herself before setting it back down. Tamahome walked over and picked it up himself. He finished off the bowl and handed it back to her. "Thank you...You're right. I'll go get some rest, so that I can have a new perspective tomorrow..." he said before going into his room to sleep
Meanwhile...
Three travellers were making their way down the path, two men and a tiger. The blue haired man was leading, followed closely by the tiger. A hawk swooped overhead. Behind them, the redhead moaned. "Aaaaaaawwwwwwhhhhh, I'm worn out!" Tasuki whined to no one in particular. Chichiri turned back and sighed "You have to walk a little faster, no da!" "How much further until we get to the next village anyway?!" the bandit asked. The tiger turned and padded back, annoyed. Well, if you walk at a normal pace, probably nightfall!Jade fumed, using telepathy. Tasuki glared at her. "Easy for you to say, you can turn into an animal!" Chichiri sweatdropped. "She's right though, no da." The redhead gave him an evil look. "Sure, stand up for HER! Why can't you just pull out your tunic and pop us over there?! Then we could spend the rest of the day in an inn, having a few drinks with some pretty girls!" The tiger's eyes turned red. What about pretty girls?!"Ack! J-Jade-sama, I ment for Chichiri! You're the prettiest girl, hands down!!!" She snorted. You better have...Tasuki looked at her uneasily as she transformed back. The emerald ring and wolf madallion both glinted as she glared at him. The bandit laughed. "Can you imagine 'Chiri with a bunch of girls?" Jade laughed also. She turned to him and fluttered her eyelashes. "Oh sir, you are so handsome! Won't you come and have a drink with me?" Tasuki kept a straight face as he replied in a high pitched voice "Oh, I don't drink! Besides, I'm just a wandering traveller, no da! If you get involved with me, I'll just break your heart, no da!"
"Oh, you would not, you big meanie...OW!" Jade cried as she got hit with a rock. She quickly got up. "Uh, coming!" Chichiri glared daggars at Tasuki. "Stop acting like and idiot and start walking!" "No, I won't!" The Celeste Warrior turned to look at him. "Please, fang boy?" she asked calmly. The redhead started to throw a tantrum. "NO, I WON'T! AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!!" He threw himself onto the ground and started thrashing. Jade tried to calm him down, but the flame haired seishi wouldn't stop. Finally, she sat on him and told him that if he didn't start walking, there would be no wedding. He immediately shut up. She smiled down at him sweetly. "Good, now we can get to that inn! You know, a few drinks and a room with a certain bandit sounds quite appealing right about now..." she said seductively as she shifted on top of him so that she was pinning him down. Tasuki grinned devilishly. Suddenly, Chichiri pulled out his tunic and threw it over the couple, the hawk, and himself.
"Come, Kaika! The work is done for today!" Amiboshi turned and smiled. "Yes Father! Boy, am I hungry!" he said happily. His father chuckled. "I imagine the women have dinner waiting for us, so let's head home." The Seiryu seishi nodded and followed him back to their home. They walked in to find his mother and a pretty, dark haired girl finishing dinner. Amiboshi hugged them both, kissing the girl gently. She laughed and placed food on the table. "Trying to suck up, huh? Well, it won't work on Tara Robinson, that's for sure!" He laughed and went out to the barn. The other three sat down. "So, Tara, are you and Kaika planning on marrying anytime soon?" Kaika's father asked. The Celeste Warrior flushed. "I-I guess...he hasn't asked me yet...I hope Jade and Tas-I mean, Shun'u get their act together and get married. They've been engaged for too long!" she said, trying to cover up the fact that Jade and Tasuki were Suzaku Warriors. She knew that Ami's adoptive parents were protective of him and didn't want him to remember his past, even though he did. Tara waited patiently for Amiboshi, but she grew worried when he hadn't come back. "I'm going to go look for Kaika..." she said quietly as she went over to the door and walked towards the barn. Suddenly, a figure stepped out in front of her. "Ami?" she asked timidly. It was, and he was dressed in his old seishi outfit, complete with flute. She gasped. "Amiboshi?!" He knelt down in front of her. "Lady Tara...I'm afraid that it's been too long since I saw you last...I hope I find you well?"
"Suboshi!!!"
At Tamahome's new home, a small grounp of men stood outside. Their leader, a man with dark blue hair and green eyes, chuckled darkly. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the abode of th' mighty Nakago. Don' worry, Gen-chan...Jade...I'll avenge ya both, and yer baby as well..." he said quietly.
As Tamahome walked through the hallway, trying to beat his insomnia, he heard someone behind him. He whirled around to see a small band of bandits drawing their weapons. They attacked him, but he easily kept them at bay with his martial arts skills. As he stood in the doorway, panting, he saw a young man with dark blue hair and green eyes that he vaugely remembered, be he didn't know where he had seen him before. "Well, yer doin' things th' hard way, arn'tcha? What about that chi blast o' yours, huh?" Tamahome glared at the man. "Why are your men attacking me?! Who are you?"
"Heh, playin' dumb now? You can tell me somethin' as well. Who destroyed the bandits o' Mount Reikaku?!" Tama's eyes widened. "You mean, Tasuki and Jade's bandits?" The bandit drew his sword. "Damn right! Now die!!!" He dove at the seishi, and when he tried to stop him, Tamahome blasted him with a chi blast that killed all of the bandits. His eyes wide, he knelt next to the blue haired man. "T-Tamahome, huh? Hn, if that's whatcha think. I have no doubt that yer Nakago. All of my friends...Chichiri...Gen-chan...Jade, the pride and joy of our mountain...and their baby...you killed them all, ya bastard!!!" he snarled, even though he was slowly dying. "B-But I remember Nakago having blond hair and blue eyes!"
"That was Tamahome, with the blond hair! You lier! DIE!!!" He pulled out a dagger and went to stab the seishi, but Tamahome killed him with another blast. He walked up to the house, surrounded by a blue aura and Nakago's symbol glowing on his forehead. He asked Kaen to bring him more of the wine she had given him earlier, and she nodded. After he had gone to his room, the girl transformed into Tomo. He cackled. "That fool! The kodoku-laced wine will be more than enough to destroy his sanity and all of his memories!!!"
Chichiri, Jade, and Tasuki all landed on the ground with a thump. The bandit was furious. "What th' hell did ya do that for?! Why did you transport up so suddenly?!?" Chichiri ignored him and glared at the boy in front of him. "It's been quite a while, hasn't it? Was this your idea, to use that particular body?" Jade was puzzled. "'Chiri, what are you talking about? That's Ami-chan, he's our friend, remember?" The monk didn't move. "No, it's Suboshi..." The couple's eyes widened in shock. "Suboshi?!" They heard a cackle, and they drew their weapons. In front of them was Tomo, Yui, and Tara, the two girls' eyes glowing green. Suboshi gasped in horror. "Lady Yui! Let her go, Tomo!" he cried. Meanwhile, Jade was very pissed that the Seiryu seishi was using her best friend. "Tomo, let them go, or I'll rip out your throat and shove it up your ass!!!" she growled. He laughed again. "Meet the new Celeste Warrior and Priestess of Genbu!" he sneered, two boys coming out of the shadows and bowing before the two girls. "I was somehow reborn after Seiryu was summoned, and I was able to use Shin again." Chichiri was enfuriated. "So that's how you controlled them!" he said quietly. Tomo nodded, cackling, when a blue light appeared behind him. They could see a figure forming inside. "I wasn't expecting to be awoken again, especially by you, Tomo..." a voice said. Jade gasped. "It's Nakago!!! But how?!" The others gasped as well as they watched the once-dead Seiryu seishi materialize.
