Kuro was listening to her MP3 player (she has it because she brings it everywhere) when Miaka walked into her room.
"Kuro a bath was prepared for you," said Miaka.
Kuro is still listening to her MP3 player and quite clearly had her music so loud that not a word that Miaka just said was heard by Kuro.
"Um… Kuro can you hear me?" asked Miaka.
Once again the same response came from Kuro.
"KURO!" yelled Miaka. This got Kuro's attention and she took her headphones off.
"What?" asked Kuro.
"You finally heard me," said Miaka.
"Well sorry I like music," said Kuro.
"The attendants have prepared you a bath. Here is a robe for you, just leave your clothes here and they'll wash them," said Miaka.
"Oh thanks I guess," said Kuro putting her MP3 player inside her backpack.
"Here," said Miaka as she handed Kuro the robe, "Sorry its black we couldn't find anymore pink or purple ones."
"I hate pink and purple. Black and/or green suit me just fine," said Kuro taking the robe.
"Well I'm glad you like it," said Miaka.
Kuro takes her shirt and pants off and leave them on the bed.
"So where's the bathhouse?" asked Kuro putting the robe on.
"You're wearing a bathing suit?" asked Miaka confused.
"Yes, I was going to go swimming with Kageryu in the hotel pool after we were done at that library."
"Do you usually bathe in your swim suit?"
"No, but you and me are the only girls on this side of the palace, can't be too careful, don't want any guys to walk in 'unexpected' right?"
"…right…"
"All right how many have seen you naked?"
"Not many, only four."
"ONLY! Well what's happened, happened. So are you going to show me where the bath it or at least tell me?"
"Oh right."
The two girls were walking toward the baths when they ran into Tamahome and Tasuki.
"Oh hi," said Tamahome.
"Hey Tamahome, Tasuki," said Miaka happily.
"I need to talk to you, now, Miaka," said Tamahome randomly.
"But I need to show Kuro to her bath," protested Miaka.
"Oh it's all right I can get lost on my own," said Kuro.
"Tasuki will you show her to the baths?" asked Tamahome.
"Fine," said Tasuki.
"Why must I suffer?" Kuro asked herself.
Miaka went with Tamahome to his and left Tasuki and Kuro to go to the baths.
"So you're from another world?" asked Tasuki.
"Yep," said Kuro.
"You aren't going to hit on Tamahome too, are you?"
"Why would you be jealous if I did?"
"I'm not interested in women (A/N: No Tasuki is not gay.)"
"Well I'm not interested in any relationship. But why did you ask if I'd like Tamahome?"
"Well Miaka and her friend, Yui, are in love with him, and they are both from your world."
"Na, I personally think-"
"'Love is lame and pathetic'." quoted Kageryu.
Kuro and Tasuki turned around and saw Kageryu standing right there…in the flesh.
"Kageryu? How did you get out of Qu-dong?" asked Kuro.
"I promised I'd bring you back with me," said Kageryu.
"So this is the carrier of Seiryu?" asked Tasuki.
"Yep, now let's go Kuro," said Kageryu.
"All right let me get my stuff," said Kuro. The two of them started walking back to Kuro's room to gather her things when Tasuki decided it wasn't wise to have Kuro go to Qu-Dong.
"Hold on," said Tasuki and he grabbed onto Kuro's shoulder and turned her around and shook her. "Are you crazy? You'll be walking right into enemy territory," said Tasuki.
Kuro got free of his grasp.
"One, that was way to close for comfort. Two, Kageryu is my best friend she wouldn't let me be arrested. And three," said Kuro who then proceeded to get low and twirled a leg around tripping Tasuki and Tasuki fell flat on his back, "Boo ya."
Tasuki still on the ground said "Miaka felt the same way about Yui and she was almost killed."
"I wouldn't kill Kuro, plus am I Yui? No, she's a lot different from me," said Kageryu.
"Good bye come to me when you have something intelligent to say," said Kuro and she left with Kageryu to go to Qu-dong. When the others heard the news they were furious with Tasuki.
"Tasuki how could you let our god carrier just leave to Qu-dong?" asked Hotohori.
"I didn't care if she died or not," said Tasuki.
"That's because she humiliated you," said Tamahome with e smirk.
"DID NOT!" yelled Tasuki.
"We have to go get her before anything happens, you know," said Chichiri.
"Right," said Miaka.
"Miaka, Tasuki, Tamahome, and I will go fetch Kuro, you know," said Chichiri.
"May your journey be safe," said Hotohori.
