Miaka just caught up with Kuro and Kageryu at the library and they walked into the certain room, an off limits room.
"Uh…Miaka can you read? It says 'Do Not Enter.'" said Kuro.
"It's all right; these are the books you need for your project." reassured Miaka.
"Oh wow!" said Kuro as she looked at the books around her. She pulled a book down and looked at it. "This will be perfect The Universe of the Four Gods."
"NO!" yelled Miaka.
Kuro opened the book and read the first page.
"What is this voodoo?" asked Kuro.
But before she could get a response a red light flashed from the book and sucked all three of them inside the book. When they came to their senses they discovered the Kageryu was nowhere to be found and Miaka was left with Kuro.
"Where'd she go? Where'd we go?" asked Kuro looking around.
"We're inside the book and it looks like we're at the Hong-nan palace. Don't worry just stick with me." said Miaka.
"Don't worry? Don't worry! Of course I'm going to worry; I'm stuck inside a BOOK! I don't know about you but being sucked inside a book isn't something that happens to me on a daily basis. And where the hell is KJ?" asked Kuro looking around some more.
"Miaka is that you?" asked a monk with a mask on.
"Chichiri! Kuro this is Chichiri, Chichiri this is Kuro," introduced Kuro.
"…Right, how do you know him?" asked Kuro eyeing Chichiri carefully.
"Miaka!" yelled four other people coming up to the three of them. One had orange hair; one had purple, on was short, and on looked like the adult of the group.
"Hey guys, this is Kuro, and Kuro this is Nuriko, Tasuki, Mitsukake, and Chiriko." Introduce Miaka once again.
"Pleasure," said Kuro and she looks at them with disgust," Now does anyone care to explain to me what the hell is going on?"
"Miaka!" yelled two more guys joining the group. On had blue hair and one had long hair.
"Tamahome1 Hotohori! This is Kuro my new friend. She came from my world." said Miaka.
"Enough with the introductions. What is going on and where is Kageryu?" asked Kuro getting pissed.
They got her a room and told her everything.
"So you are the Priestess of Suzaku and these seven are all of the Suzaku Warriors that are suppose to protect the priestess so that she can summon Suzaku and get three wishes, but the emperor of Qu-dong has also found their Priestess of Seiryu, your best friend Yui, and three of the warriors, but one is deceased. And now it is a race against time to summon Suzaku before they can summon Seiryu. You have tried two times the first was failed by the Seiryu Amiboshi and the then he died and the second time you don't know why you failed. Right?" recited Kuro.
"Yep" responded everyone.
"How old are you?" asked Tasuki.
"Thirteen. Now anyway I think I may know what your problem is.
"Really?" asked Hotohori.
"Yes, but I need to know for sure. Do you have a shrine of your god and a scroll of the Universe of the Four Gods?" asked Kuro.
"Follow me" said Hotohori.
"Do you really think you know the problem?" asked Miaka.
"Yes, but I have to study the scroll and shrine to be sure." said Kuro.
"You friend is really smart Miaka," said Nuriko. Unlike you he thought.
"Here is the shrine and the scroll should be at the base of the Suzaku Statue." said Hotohori stopping at the shrine.
Kuro immediately got to work and was left in silence with everyone watching her.
"I doubt she'll get it we have been trying for months. Also she is only Chiriko's age," said Tasuki.
"She does look really concentrated," said Chichiri.
"But she did say in class that she didn't know much about the four gods," said Miaka.
"Maybe she knows enough?" suggested Tamahome.
"How smart is she Miaka?" asked Nuriko.
"Really smart! Smarter then me (A/N: Which isn't saying much) and she skipped two whole years of school." said Miaka.
"What's the deal with her friend?" asked Chiriko.
"Oh, her friend was visiting from where Kuro just moved from. When we got here from my world we couldn't find her. And I was sure she was with us when we were coming here." said Miaka.
"Is she done yet?" asked Hotohori.
"I have it," said Kuro.
"And…?" Chichiri somewhat asked.
"You were doing everything correctly except one huge mistake. Here in the scroll it says, 'when you perform the ceremony, Suzaku must be present.'" Read Kuro.
"But we did his statue-" started Hotohori.
"Wrong. It meant that someone from the same world as the priestess carries Suzaku within them." explained Kuro.
"Oooooooooh," said everyone.
"Do you have a hunch about who it is?" asked Miaka.
"Of course," said Kuro.
Kuro stood up and took her backpack off and pulled her shirt up so her stomach was showing. There over the navel was a huge tattoo-like red bird. In other words, Suzaku.
"I've had it since I was born. No one knew what it meant. That is how I knew all of the mythology. I picked it up from my studies of trying figure out why I had this mark and now it makes sense," explained Kuro.
"So you carry Suzaku within you?" asked Hotohori.
"Yep, also in the mix I found something else out. I did some calculations about my friend, Kageryu, and I'm afraid this is bad for you," said Kuro.
"WHAT?" asked everyone.
"Kageryu did enter this world with Miaka and me, but she didn't end up where we did because she carries Seiryu. Yes she has a dragon mark on her stomach. Miaka and I were transported to Hong-nan because we are Suzaku's creatures. Kageryu must have arrived in the Qu-dong Empire because she is a Seiryu creature." Said Kuro.
"Which means if Yui finds her and the rest of the Seiryu warriors-" started Miaka.
"They could summon Seiryu!" finished Tamahome.
