I'm back with another episode or two. Sorry for not updating or anything. I just got a new computer and my old computer was sent to my cousin. It had all my stuff on it and I told her not to delete anything before she deletes everything off my old computer, including my stories. And the moral of this story is, kids: take everything you need off your computer before you give it to somebody. I had to type this again and I've almost had to give up on Anime Kingdom. Whatever, I didn't actually give up even though I haven't updated it for...what was it...four months? Oh by the way, Kingdom Hearts 2 doesn't come out until March 2005.

Okay, on with the chapters to Anime Kingdom.

Our heroes teamed up with Miaka and battles with the Heartless. Nakago and Reiha join forces together, but Reiha ends up flying solo so she can gain reputation for Queen Beryl herself. Cloud and gang are following a strange guy with a mysterious mark on his forehead, but the strange guy meets up with Sora and them first and he looks at Miaka. And I think we pick up to the part where Miaka and the strange fellow meets.

Chapter 19: Emperor

Ancient China, Downtown

Thus, Miaka and the mysterious man had met, and it was even a coincidence that the two were actually searching for each other. Miaka walks up to him and looks at his blue hair and purple glowing eyes. 'Wow, he's handsome.'

"What are you doing here?" he asked furiously.

"Uh, what do you mean?" The girl's eyes shot up. She couldn't believe her eyes that a boy just talks ruthlessly to her. From the moment she had met him, she thought he could be nice.

"Just nothing." He said sneeringly as he turns his back on her. "But you should go back to where you belong. It's not safe here."

She had enough of his pitilessness. So she snapped, "I am perfectly fine by myself, thank you. And for your information, I need your help." The man looked at Miaka as she's requesting. "I need you to help me on finding Yui."

"Who's Yui?" He asked.

"She's my friend that has the same school uniform as me, but different hair."

The boy turned around and walks away. "Sorry, but I haven't seen this Yui anywhere. And I won't go finding her."

"What do you mean by that? Hey come back here, I wasn't even finished talking to you yet!"

"Excuse me." Sora stood up. The blue-haired boy stop and tried not to look back at Sora. "Can you please help us too? We are searching for something called a keyhole?"

He looked back at him. He sounded so serious. " Wait a minute, you're the key holder, aren't you?"

"Well, yeah. But that's not important now, we're stuck here and I think the Heartless are trying to take over this world."

He close his eyes in relief then open them again as he looks at Sora's Keyblade. "Sorry, I can't really help you there. Here." He tosses Sora's Keyblade back to him. "You're on your own."

"Wait, come back here!"

"Let him go," Donald requested, "we don't need him anyway."

Miaka picks Donald up and yells at him. "I have come this far, and I won't back down until that moneybag give me some answers!" She drops Donald to the ground and she follows him all through downtown.

Donald taps his fingers while his was on the ground. "Oh boy."

"Miaka!" Sora yelled. Then Miaka and the strange boy were gone.

"See what happens when you have affairs in this world?" Donald asked Sora.

"I don't care what happens, I'll go find them." Sora ran to find them, so did Goofy. Donald was all alone, so he ran with Sora and Goofy.

"Stop, boy! I'm demanding you to stop!" Miaka was yelling at him all day all through town.

"Are you going to following me, and yelling at me all day?" He asked.

"Come on, I know you stole Yui from me." Miaka retorted.

"Why would I want to do that?"

"Stand up and be a man!"

The boy had enough of Miaka's mouth. He stops and looks her in the eyes. "You have no right of calling me that, a man gets paid for his services."

"Slave trader!" Miaka called him.

The people downtown were all ears when Miaka called him that. The strange boy took his hand over Miaka's mouth and he somehow gave up to her obsessive name calling. "Fine, I'll help you look for your friend if you just shut up!"

The two walked together side-by-side and saw a bunch of horses, a carriage, and guards right beside it. It seems like the guards were protecting a long-haired woman, showing her jewels. It seems like this woman is parading on throughout town.

"I would do anything to get his jewels," the blue-haired man recalled.

This gave Miaka an idea. She looks at the boy and said, "I'll get them for you so you can help me find Yui." He didn't listen to her, so she went up to the woman and said, "Excuse me, sir, can I have one of your jewels?"

The guards, thought that she was attacking, grabbed her away from the woman. "Get her!"

"Uh-oh, what did I do wrong?" She asked, struggling to get out.

The boy punched the guards and let Miaka go. He took Miaka by the arm and looked at her. "They thought that you were attacking him for the jewel. By the way, my name is Tamahome." He said, kissing her forward. And suddenly, a red light gleamed out of nowhere.

"What's that light?" Miaka woke up and looked at where she was. She was actually back at the library, and she sees Yui was there looking at the book. "Yui? Yui, can you hear me!" It seems Miaka's tiny and still stuck in the book.

"Suddenly a boy kissed the girl, and the girl was wrapped in radiant light..." Yui reads the words from the book.

"Yui!" Miaka got back into the book, and found herself and Tamahome in the arms of the guards.

"Arrest her and that boy too, men?" said the woman. She got close to Miaka and blew her breath at her. "This will teach you not to steal jewelry."

"Wait, this is a misunderstanding!" The guards pulled her back and the two were being carried off.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy found Miaka and Tamahome was being held captive by the guards. "Miaka! She's being arrested!" Sora ran up to him, but he was stopped.

"Stop by the name of the Emperor!" said the guard, blocking his way. "No one shall interfere."

"Sora!" Miaka yelled, "SORA!"

"The key holder stands still as the young boy and girl are being thrown into prison by orders of the Emperor."

Emperor's Palace: Prison

Miaka was exhausted from trying to escape so she slept. She dreamed that she was back home with her mother and family in her world.

"Miaka, are you all right?" Tamahome asked softly to her.

Miaka looks at him and wipes her eyes."Yes, I fine." She looked around so confuse. "Where are we?"

"We're held captive by the Emperor." Tamahome explained. "Thanks to you." He stands up and looks toward the bars. "And who are you and what was up with that light I just saw."

"I come from a faraway world and I don't remember anything. I...don't..." Miaka tries to hold back her tears, but she couldn't. It was too heartbreaking now that she lost her family, her friends, and her money.

Tamahome sat beside her, trying to calm her down with all the sobbing. "Miaka, I'm sorry. Please don't cry. Please." He softly embraces her in her arms. "If I can, I will help you find Yui."

The guard who's guarding their prison cell was shouting whom they encounter him. The three were wearing black cloaks. Miaka and Tamahome were afraid for a moment. "Hey, who are you three?"

"Trick or treat!"

One of the cloaked guys shocks the guard with one of his thundara spells. The three took off their disguises and smiles at Miaka and Tamahome.

"Sora! Donald! Goofy!"

"Hey Miaka, we came here to get you out of here," Goofy said.

Sora opens the door with his keyblade and lets the prisoners escape.

Tamahome looks down at Sora. "Thank you, uh...?"

"It's Sora." The two stared at each other, thinking what to say to each other next.

"Escape now, acquaintances later!" Miaka called out.

Everyone agreed with Miaka and the five escapes from prison.

Emperor's Palace: Somewhere, the Emperor Lurks...

The long, brown-haired woman turned out to be the emperor of Konan. He was discussing to himself that Miaka is the one he was searching for. "I believe the one called Miaka is the one we have been searching for all along. She could be the one that can break the dark powers from the world. We cannot let the shadow creatures get to her first."

Emperor's Palace: Room of Suzaku

The five escaped out the damped cells and made it through a room that shines so bright. There, was an encryption of a large bird on the wall.

"How about that? It's a flying turkey," said Goofy. Donald hits him with his wand for being so stupid.

"It's the same bird in the book I was reading the library," Miaka replied amazingly looking at the artifact.

"Suzaku." Tamahome explained. "He is one of our four gods that guards this side of the world. East is for Seiryuu, West is for Byakko, North is for Genbu, and South is for Suzaku. A legend has it that he guides the one with mesmerizing light."

Miaka smells something and gets excited about it..."Oh boy, food!" She went off like a rocket as the rest of the group where in a daze of Suzaku.

Suddenly, Tamahome found Miaka was nowhere in this room anymore.

"Miaka, where did you go?" Tamahome called. They got out of the room and the door closed on them. Suddenly, a swarm of Heartless came out of nowhere and lead the attack on them.

"Heartless..." Sora murmured as he takes out his 'Kingdom Key' Keyblade.

"I'll get them!" His character on his forehead glows and his 'aura' flows like a shield around his body. His own eyes turns grey in a rage. "Rikisenfuntou'!"

Tamahome's fighting style against the Heartless is the same as Sora's Ars Arcanum attack. Actually, this gave Sora an idea too. Sora's Kingdom Key changed from his Heart of Jutsu blade. He uses the Ars Arcanum on all of his targeted Heartless.

"I'm impressed. You have good fighting techniques."

Sora nods. Quickly, he turns his head and throws his keyblade at the one Heartless that was left. "Thanks, I'm glad you think of it."

"Huh?" Goofy hears a sound as he turns around. There it was, he gasped. "Gwarsh, a new Heartless!"

An unknown Heartless came up to them. It was almost like the invisible Heartless, but it was made out of ice. The Heartless were definitely hard to beat and to capture too. At that moment when it was all hopeless, the emperor showed up with his brown hair flowing in the wind as he slashes the Ice Invisible Heartless in half.

The Emperor sheave his sword and look at Tamahome. "You sure know how to find a good way to escape," he said sarcastically.

"You're that emperor," Tamahome recalled.

"Hotohori, yes." He said with great dignity of his title. Hotohori looks around and sees someone is missing from their presences. "Where's the girl?"

"Miaka? I would like to ask you the same thing."

"She's gone, isn't she?" Hotohori looks at Tamahome and the two stares down at each other. Tamahome can't admit to him on what happened to Miaka.

Emperor's Palace: The Dining Room

Miaka was eating the food so happily. When she ate it, she didn't have a care in the world.

"I believe this food is delicious, yes?" said a voice that sends Miaka's spines shivering, but Miaka was too busy eating, she didn't mind it at all.

"Yes, Ma'am. I simply love it."

"You don't say?" Miaka opens her eyes and to her surprise...she was being iced. She looks up at the woman. It turns out to be Reiha, the ice demon. "Enjoy it while you can because you're gonna need it."

"No, I'm frozen." Said Miaka, shaking. "Tamahome, help!"

"Now I got you where I want you."

Back with the Emperor, him and Tamahome discussed everything out and it worked perfectly. The two finally agree not to kill each other and find Miaka at once.

Tamahome heard a voice calling for help. "I heard her voice," he recalled."It's Miaka. She's in trouble."

"But where is she?" Sora asked.

"We're going to have to go to the Dining Room," Hotohori called out to them, withdrawing his sword.

"Come on, let's go!"

They finally reached where Miaka is, but she was founded first by Reiha. She uses her ice spell to make Miaka blue and frozen, unlike her previous spell.

"I see you're a little too late." Reiha recalled to them. "The girl and the keyhole to this world now belong to the Heartless."

"You've stolen her heart, didn't you?" Sora shouted across the room.

Reiha closed her eyes. "Not yet." She reopens them and smirks. "So sorry, Keyblade master, but this world is finally ours." Reiha disappeared with Miaka and left them battling the Heartless.

"We have to go save Miaka!" Tamahome said.

Hotohori then asked, "But the question is how?"

No one really knows where Miaka and Reiha actually went off too. Then at the moment, the Emperor might have an idea where...

Footnotes:

1. Mostly, the plot here involves in Fushigi Yuugi's 2nd episode. In Chapter 20, this will be totally different.

2. 'Tamahome'- his real name is Sou Kishuku. His power is the great fighter. Knew to be a money grubber as well. His mission is to protect Miaka from any harm until she finds Yui and her way home. What does this guy have to do to keep Miaka's mouth shut? His appearance is one of the male leading characters in 'Fushigi Yuugi' (1995).

3. 'Kingdom Key' is his original Keyblade from 'Kingdom Hearts'.

4. 'Rikisenfuntou' means 'fighting everything you got' in Japanese. I couldn't find a Chinese word for it.

5. Do you know the yellow shield around Hercules when you go face-to-face with him in Olympus Coliseum? Well, this is the exact same thing Tamahome is using.

6. 'Hotohori'- His real name is Saihitei Seishuku, and he is the emperor of the Konan Empire (Kounonkoku, in Japanese). At the age of 14, he took the family throne as one of his descendants. He is often very lonely, but he doesn't show it very often. Like Tamahome, he also has a character, but on theleft side of the neck. He is a very powerful swordsman indeed. He was first spotted as a woman in Miaka's eyes in 'Fushigi Yuugi' (1995).
