Ah, yes! It is that time again! I am so proud of myself for updating so quickly! Of course…it's rather short. Why? Because I hate trying to think of interesting things for the Seiryu seishi to do P They're just not much fun! However I have tried to spice it up. Or rather Yuko has. She's so good at that! Yes….so this is the final installment of the Seiryu seishi until the next time I come around to them. curses that prospect in the distant future So…here go the reader response thingys….
Silver: Tasuki's not bad! He just…got caught up in the moment- And yes…spiders were the only thing he could think of at the moment although coincidentally they are one thing that Mieri doesn't like.

Amiboshi finally finished the song requested by Yuko and stopped to catch his breath. Suboshi immediately stopped running, and Yuko had to jump off quickly to avoid being dumped. "Hey!" she teased, "That's no way to treat your priestess!"
Suboshi glared at the two of them as he gasped for breath. "You two…can…go to…Hell!"
"Only if you go with me!" Amiboshi teased him as well. "Besides, I'm tired, too!"
Suboshi only glared again and bent over to rest his hands on his knees.
Yuko looked over her shoulder. "Aw! We passed Nakago and them! I wanted to ask him about the new warrior!"
"Soi?" Amiboshi asked. Yuko nodded. "Well, you know, we are seishi, too! It's not like we haven't met her!"
"I know!" Yuko muttered defensively, "But Nakago said that you spent most of your time in Konan and some village. And Suboshi was too wrapped up in Yui to notice anything else."
"Hey!" Suboshi blushed. "That is not true! I…noticed stuff…"
Yuko laughed out loud. "You so had a crush on her!"
"Well, Amiboshi was in love with Miaka!" Suboshi glared at his older brother.
Now it was Amiboshi's turn to blush bright red. "Don't say such things! I just didn't think we needed to kill her!"
"Uh-huh…." Suboshi smirked. "Sure…."
"Alright, enough squabbling!" Yuko rubbed her hands together. "We need to think of something fun to do in this God-forsaken country."
Amiboshi with his shyer nature seemed hesitant, "Like what?"
"Oh, I don't know. We could blow something up."
"What!" both twins gaped at their Priestess. She was definitely not your normal girl…
"Sure! Of course, it would have to be abandoned. Don't want to have to clean up body parts or anything…"
As
Yuko continued to plan, Amiboshi and Suboshi watched in awe. Neither
of the three noticed the lone figure coming behind them until she
spoke.
"Now we just need something to light it all," Yuko
thought hard.
"Would lightning do?"
"Well, yeah; but we can't exactly call it down on this barn or anything," Yuko waved dismissively.
CRACK! A huge bolt of lightning flashed down from the previously blue sky. Combined with the stray bottles of sake that Yuko had managed to gather, the explosion was quite the show. "AWESOME!" Yuko enthused. "That was way cool!" She spun around in delight. "Which one of you guys can do that!"
"I did, Priestess," a strange girl bowed deeply.
She was pretty with deep brown eyes and long brown hair that she wore in a kind of loop in the back of her head. She was slightly taller than Yuko by maybe an inch or so but held herself with dignity. She seems young as well. Probably not too much older than me.
Yuko blinked, "Who's this?"
"I am Soi, Lady Priestess," the girl spoke again. She stood and looked in the direction the three had come from. "Is Lord Nakago with you?"
"Yeah, he's somewhere back there, I think," she pointed behind them. "We kinda left them."
"Thank you, Priestess," Soi hastily bowed and soon was running back down the thin trail.
"What's up with her?" Yuko asked the suddenly silent twins.
It was Amiboshi who answered, "She's…in love with Nakago. That's how she died. She jumped in front of a sword thrown at Nakago."
"Oh…" Yuko was silent. "So does he love her back?"
Suboshi nodded while turning a curious crimson color. "Yeah…they…um…"
"Had sex?" Yuko asked sarcastically.
He nodded, still blushing.
She turned to Amiboshi, "Now what's up with him?"
Amiboshi laughed, "He found out the extent of their relationship the hard way."
Yuko thought for a moment. "Oh!" she cried as it dawned on her. "Ha! Suboshi walked in on―"
"Thank you, Amiboshi," Suboshi interrupted quickly, "For that lovely walk through memory lane!"
Yuko giggled, "You guys are crazy. Come on. Nakago's probably pretty mad that we ran off and left him."
Turning and racing back down the path, Yuko was soon followed by Suboshi. Amiboshi started to follow with a shake of his head. Pausing, he looked in the direction of Konan. He couldn't sense Mieri. It was hard enough finding his own priestess! But he hoped she was doing okay. She had seemed like a nice girl. And the Suzaku seishi…Amiboshi glanced at the Seiryu seishi just now coming into view. No matter what they said…he was glad that everyone was okay again. But it's not like they'll take you back. Miaka's not here to vouch for you any more. And I have to stay with Suboshi. This time we won't get separated…
"Amiboshi!" Yuko and Suboshi waved at him, "Come on!"
Amiboshi sighed and turned his feet and his heart towards his fellow warriors. Maybe not now, but someday! I'll get Suboshi out of here. And maybe we can take the priestess, too…
"Oh, Lord Nakago!" Soi raced down the path, heedless of decorum. "Nakago!" She smiled and laughed.
"It seems you were correct, Miboshi," Nakago stated emotionlessly.
Soi finally reached them, totally out of breath. She stopped before Nakago rather suddenly and bowed deeply. "My Lord Nakago, I, Soi, have returned to serve our god," she looked up at him, "And you."
Nakago stared at her for a long moment. "Very well. We have only Ashitare left to find. He should be somewhere east of here."
"Do you have enough provisions, Nakago?" Soi asked. "I can get you some. There's a village not too much farther on down the road."
Nakago glanced towards Yuko and Suboshi, who were headed their way. "Lady Yuko needs to rest. She is obviously not used to this much traveling, and it is tiring her. We shall stay in the town for a few days and rest. Ashitare should continue moving towards us."
Soi nodded, "Should I run ahead to reserve rooms in the inn?"
Nakago thought for a moment and then decided, "Yes, take Lady Yuko with you. It will do you some good to get to know her."
Bowing once more, Soi turned and headed for Yuko. After a moments deliberation, the two turned and headed towards the village Soi had said was just down the road. Suboshi paused for a moment and then continued towards the rest of the seishi.
Nakago watched as Amiboshi hesitated before coming back. "Watch him, Miboshi," he instructed. "I don't want a repeat of two years ago."
Miboshi followed Nakago's line of sight and smiled without joy, "I think I can handle him, Nakago. I might not have the little priest's body anymore, but I can still summon my demons."
"As long as you don't kill him," Nakago reminded him. "I'd hate to have our plans ruined because you couldn't control yourself."
"I shall watch him as well," Tomo volunteered as he watched Amiboshi's approach through narrowed eyes. "He won't escape me a second time."
