OVA 2: Manifestation of Rebirth
Miaka and Taka fell back into the world of the book, where they fell onto the other seishi. Tasuki had managed to catch Miaka, but Taka hit the ground with a dull thud. "Hey, welcome back!" Jade said quietly. The Priestess noticed that it was nighttime, and the six warriors appeared to be sneaking into a house. She squealed with delight, and Chichiri silenced her. "Shhhhhhh! You have to be quiet, no da!" She looked at him curiously. "We're being thieves tonight, and even though I've never experienced this kind of thing before, I heard it is vital to be quiet..." Chiriko whispered. Nuriko snorted. "This is kinda stupid, sneaking into my own house..."
"This is your house?!" The purple haired seishi nodded. "Yeah..." The two experienced thieves, Jade and Tasuki, went in first, followed by the others. They sat down inside, and Nuriko began to explain everything with a sigh. "It's my older brother, Rokou..." Chichiri continued the narrative. "So, His Majesty, the two knuckleheads and I went to visit him, to pay our respects and see if he knew where Nuriko's stone was, no da. He was cold to us...well, all of us men. He was very nice to Jade, no da. And Tasuki here had to be nasty to him in return." The bandit looked furious. "He was hittin' on her! I was just doin' what any fiance woulda done, don' act like ya wouldn't have done it, 'Chiri..." The monk shot a look at him before finishing. "Everything was going well enough, but it was ruined by the idiots over here, no da." It was Jade's turn to become angry. "Hey, it's not our fault! Nuriko was the one making faces and goofing around when we were supposed to be serious! We couldn't help it!" she said angrily. "I'm sorry! It was just weird...all of you praying for me in my own house...I mean, what would you do if you saw your two best friends, a monk, and the Emporer of Konan all praying for you and being so serious? I liked the attention, but I was embarassed...so I had to lighten the mood somehow." Nuriko said, smiling. Taka glared at the redheaded couple. "So, you two had to ruin it! Typical..." Tasuki pulled out his tessan, and Jade grew her claws from her tiger form. "Don' give me that look..." the bandit growled. "So anyway...my memory jewel is embedded in a crystal ball I played with as a child. When I noticed it's color had changed, I found the jewel inside." the purple haired seishi told the Priestess. Chichiri looked sheepish. "We acted rather rashly...we took the ball and tried to break it, but Nuriko's brother got angry at us and grabbed it away...." Nuriko rolled his eyes. "My brother is such a moron..." Chiriko looked up at the older seishi. "I understand how Rokou feels, but getting Tamahome's memory back is more important now." "I don't know if he'll ever give in...he was always like this, even when we were little. he was a coward and a crybaby, so everybody picked on him. So, he would always count on his little brother to save him...he relied on other people for everything. Even after two years, he hasn't accepted that I'm dead. He needs to get over it! Tasuki, just go ahead and break the ball open. We need that stone..." The bandit grinned. "Okay! Miaka, hand Tama th' ball so I can flame it." Taka glared murderously at the redhead. "Yeah, so you can flame me again..." he muttered. "Hmph. I can aim, ya know! I'll only hit th' stupid ball!" The Priestess handed Taka the ball, and the young man yelled out in pain. A demon appeared, hissing and clutching him in it's claws. "TAKA!!!" Miaka screamed as she tried to help him. Chichiri grabbed Taka and his hands glowed with a red light. "Stay back, no da! It's too dangerous! Don't let Miaka touch him, no da!!!"
-----------------
The others watched at the monk tried to help the squirming Taka. "What's going on here?! Why are you here? Why did you bring a monster here?!?" Rokou said, coming out of a nearby doorway. Tasuki rolled his eyes. "Oh geez..." The dark haired man snatched up the crystal ball. "I will never let any of you have this! Not after you all let him die!" Nuriko tried to talk to him, but he ignored his younger brother. "If you won't leave, then I will!!! Servants, bring me my carriage immediately!" he commanded, running out the door with the crystal ball. The others were discussing the woman that had bit Taka in the ear. Chiriko was doing something on the floor. "It's ready now, Chichiri!" the little seishi said. "What is that?" Jade asked. "It's a spell to seal away the demon. If I create a barrier and use His Majesty's holy sword, combined with all of our powers, we should be able to seal up the demon in Tamahome, no da." Nuriko seemed worried. "Will this hurt him?"
"Well, a celestial warrior has much more resistance than a normal human, but this will be tricky..." Chiriko said quietly. They continued to plan out the exorcism, and Miaka slipped outside. Jade heard her leave, and got up silently as well. She transformed into a tiger and loped off after her Priestess.
-----------------
She had almost caught up with Miaka when a horse galloped by them both. "Woah!" Tasuki cried, and the horse stopped. Miaka looked at him, not noticing the tiger nearby. "Tasuki?! What are you doing here?!" He gave her a lopsided grin. "I came t' take ya to the temple! I figured Fur-face over there would need help..." He got an evil glare from the tiger, and the Priestess grinned at her Celeste Warrior. "Jade, you came too?!" Jade nodded. Let's go already...The little group continued to the temple.
-----------------
"Boy, Tamahome can' do anything wrong in your eyes, huh? I mean, aren't you even a little mad at him?" Tasuki asked, smiling at the girl riding behind him. "W-What do you mean?!" she asked. "Think about it! He let that Miiru chick cast a spell on him, and got that monster implanted in his ear. As I see it, it's Tama's fault." Jade shot him a warning look. Tasuki...He ignored her and continued "He was probably makin' a move on her, and she bit..." Miaka released his waist and fell off of the horse. "Miaka?! You okay?" he asked, stopping the horse. The Priestess glared at him as the tiger checked her over. "That's enough! Just go on without me! I'm so sick of you badmouthing Tamahome! He hasn't done anything wrong! You're his friend aren't you? Why are you doing this to your own friend?! Never mind, just go back...I'll just have Jade take me..." Tasuki felt guilty. "I-I was just...I...I just felt bad for ya...I hate seein' ya sad like that...oh, what the hell am I sayin'?! Miaka, wait up!" The girl went on, ignoring him. He looked confusedly at Jade. "Was it really that bad?" She transformed back and gave him a repremanding glare. "You can be such a jackass. Why on earth did you say all of that about Tamahome when you know it isn't true?! She loves him so much, and you go and say all that shit?! Sometimes I wonder whether or not I even want to marry you after you do this..." she said before following Miaka. Now the bandit knew that had he had gone too far. "J-Jade-sama?" he said timidly. No response. He felt horrible at hurting two people he cared about, one of them even being his fiance. Suddenly, a snake reared up out of the grass and struck at the girls. He dove off of the horse and pushed them out of the way. Pulling out his tessan, he drove it into the snake. "REKKA SHIN'EN!!!" he cried, and the snake went up in flames. Then, he slumped over. The girls got up from where they were sprawled out on the ground and saw him clutching his shoulder where blood was forming. Jade, without hesitation, rushed over to him and tried to examine the wound. "I-I think...it was poisonous..." he managed to gasp. Miaka whimpered. "What are we going to do?!" Jade moved his hand and pulled down his vest and shirt. "I have to suck out the poison...Kouji taught me how to, a long time ago..." She put her mouth on the wound and began to suck out the poison. Even though he was in obvious pain, Tasuki asked painfully. "He didn'... actually show ya, did he?" She spat out the contaminated blood and met his eyes. "Yeah, like I would let that bastard touch me with his mouth..." she muttered, sucking on the wound some more. He laughed weakly and winced as she sucked harder. She spat out another mouthful and pulled off her shirt, using it to bandage the wound tightly. Then, she put the blue and black coat back on, covering up the newly revealed skin. Miaka couldn't help but laugh. The firey haired couple looked over at her, and she laughed even harder. "Miaka, what's so funny?" Jade asked, finishing the bandage. "Well, when you have that outfit on, from behind, you look just like Tasuki with longer hair! Even now, if your eyes weren't different colors, I would swear you two were brother and sister!" The bandits looked at each other, and Jade's eyes seemed to turn a gentle amber for a second. Then, they flashed back to emerald, and she laughed. "Miaka, don't be silly! We don't look THAT much alike, otherwise I would be too freaked out to marry him!" she said, grinning, and the Priestess hid a snicker. It almost seemed as if the bandit was sitting there, grinning at her. Tasuki looked at her. "So, ya still want t' marry me?" "Of course I do, I was just upset about how much you had hurt Miaka's feelings. That doesn't mean I ever stopped loving you! Sometimes, you can be such a baka otoku..." (idiotic man) He smirked as she hugged him happily. Suddenly, Nuriko ran by, drragging his brother. He stopped when she saw the threesome sitting on the side of the road. "Huh? Jade? Tasuki? Miaka?! What's going on?" Then, he saw Tasuki's shirt pulled down, and his shoulder bandaged. "Tasuki, are you okay?!" Jade nodded. "Yeah, I took care of it-!!!" she said, cut off as the seishi scooped the three of them up easily. "Hey, I can walk!!!" she growled, but the older seishi just laughed at her and took them back to Rokou's house.
-----------------
Nuriko burst in, grinning. "Look who I found, sitting along the side of the road like a bunch of derelicts!" He showed them the embarassed bandit, worried Priestess, and fuming Celeste Warrior that he still had in his arms. "And I brought back my brother and the stone too!" he said, extremely proud of himself. "Glad to see you get such an ego boost out of this, but I strongly suggest that you PUT US DOWN!!!" the Celeste Warrior growled , and Nuriko obliged, dropping them and going over to Tamahome. Tasuki clutched his shoulder, and Jade checked over it worriedly. Miaka also went over to Taka, looking concerned. She explained to Chichiri what Jade had done to get the poison out of Tasuki's wound, and how it might work to get the demon out of Taka. Hotohori frowned at the idea. "It sounds dangerous, Miaka, and we shouldn't take unnecessary risks..." Nuriko nodded in agreement. "Yes, what if it enters you instead? I know Jade wasn't poisoned when she took the poison out of Tasuki, but that was different." Chiriko also nodded. "If you became hurt by doing that, Tamahome would never forgive us!" Chichiri gave his final thoughts. "Tamahome can't take the pain at this point anyway, no da..." he said quietly. Taka surprised them all by saying weakly "I-I can handle it...I don't know how you plan on doing it, but Miaka, I know that everything will be okay..." Miaka told Nuriko to hold him, which he did. "Tamahome, the only thing holding you are these bracelets, but I'm going to be extra careful, okay?" He nodded painfully, and Miaka walked over. She knelt beside him and put her mouth to his ear. He screamed out in pain and struggled against Nuriko's hold. "I can't hold you for very long if you do this, Tamakins!!!" Nuriko cried. Jade transformed into her tiger form and padded over. She pinned him down gently with her paws. Tama, don't worry, I've got you! Hold onto my paw and squeeze it when it hurts, okay? I can take this, don't worry. Just hold on!she said comfortingly in his mind. He looked at her thankfully and gripped her paw. He cried out as Miaka sucked, and he squeezed Jade's paw for all it was worth. She helped by pouring her chi into him. Tasuki crawled over and patted Taka's arm. "You can do this, Tama, I got faith in you..." The flailing seishi hit him in the face and sent him flying. "Tasuki, you're hurt! What are you doing, no da?!" The redhead smirked. "I can handle it, I'm tough..." he said before getting kicked by Taka and flying back into the wall. "Oniisan, help us! It's up to you now!!!" Nuriko cried to Rokou. He turned away. "I can't do that, I don't have that kind of strength!" Chiriko appeared beside him, glowing red. The little seishi attempted to posess him, but since his heart was closed, Rokou refused him. Chiriko began crying. "Why won't you let me?! I need to help, and if you don't let me, I can't! You're dispicable! It will all end, because you are a coward!!!" Rokou stepped over to Tamahome and grasped his brother's hand and told him that he understood everything, that he had finally accepted his little brother's death. As they reunited, Miaka spat out the demon, and Hotohori killed it with his sword. She cradled her beloved's head in her arms as he relaxed. Jade flopped off of him and slumped onto her side as a human. "Geez Tama, if you woulda squeezed my hand any harder, it'd have come off!" she said weakly, her chi drained from helping him. Tasuki hugged her and lent her some of his. "Good job, koishii..." he whispered. Rokou and Nuriko smiled at each other, now truely brothers. (Cool theme music comes on)
