Synopsis:

What if Miaka became the priestess of seiryuu instead of Yui- a switch has been made thus Kutou empire's advancement to conquer Konan was temporarily stopped. Furious, the emperor of Kutou couldn't kill the former priestess of Suzaku and it seems the new priestess have ideas of her own to bring Kutou out of eternal darkness and terror.

CHAPTER 1: CAPTURED

"Miaka! I'll never forgive you! How dare you betray me!" Yui screamed with tears streaming down her eyes. Miaka stared at her in horror and disbelief.

"No, Yui... that's not true! I never-ah!" Miaka tried to explain but Yui slapped her instead, so hard that Miaka fell to her side. Hurt, Miaka felt her tears starting to cover her sight. She couldn't bring herself to stand up as she heard heavy footsteps behind her.

"Lady Yui, what do you wish to do to her?" It was Nakago who spoke. Miaka felt shivers run down her spine and before she could even hear Yui's reply, Nakago roughly grabbed her wrist, forced it behind her, and pulled her towards him. Miaka gasped in pain when she felt his hard steel armor behind her back.

"I want her to suffer..."

"Yui..." Miaka choked as the tears she's been holding in finally streamed down her cheeks. "As you wish, my lady."

Nakago chuckled and brought his lips near her ear. "You will never escape this time, Suzaku no miko." Miaka knew its futile to struggle and that there is a huge difference between her strength and his. Whimpering, she could only turn her head to the other side to avoid his touch.

"MIAKA!"

"Miaka! Hang in there! We will get you out of there!" Both Tamahome and Chichiri shouted from behind the doors, trying their best to force their way inside the shrine.

"Tama-home...Chichiri..." Nakago tightened his gripped on her causing her to scream in pain. "This shrine is protected by a barrier. There is no way the Suzaku worriors could destroy it."

Suddenly, Chichiri appeared. "LET HER GO!"

"Chichiri!"

"So you are the one who is responsible for stopping me before. You are quite pathetic and weak, it was very disappointing." Nakago said coldly as he eyed the monk worrior. Miaka looked up and glared at him.

"I did not come here to get your pathetic approval." Chichiri countered.

Seeing Nakago distracted, Miaka immediately took this opportunity to get away. Mustering all the strength she has and without hesitation twisted her body a little and pushed Nakago down with her body, catching him off guard.

"Nakago!" Yui screamed. Chichiri gasped in shock at what just happened, not expecting Miaka to move. Nakago and Miaka hit the floor hard. Groaning, Miaka didn't wait for Nakago to react and immediately stood up on her feet and tackled Yui to the ground. "Yui!"

"Why you-" before Nakago could reach Miaka, Chichiri immediately cast an exploding spell around the area causing Nakago to back away.

Miaka struggled with Yui in the midst of the explosion. "Yui! Stop this immediately!"

"How dare you push me!!" Yui screamed and tried hitting her on the chest. "Lady Yui!" Nakago glared darkly.

Miaka swallowed hard, sensing Nakago's rage just right behind her.

"MIAKA!!!" Tamahome shouted from behind the barrier but she couldn't look at him. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MIAKA!!!"

Chichiri threw a chi blast at Nakago preventing him from getting near the two. "Stop right there!"

"Do you really think you can stop me?" Nakago glared dangerously at Chichiri.

"Yui! Stop it! Let me explain!" Miaka struggled, she never seen Yui so angry at her before...never like this...

"Argh! Get off!" Yui, in a fit of anger, hit Miaka on her chest with her fist. It happened so fast that both barely knew what really happened. Miaka felt like being shot, felt her heart stopped for a second. The cold, piercing shock she felt brought by Yui's fist on her chest caused her body to collapsed, the pain spreading mercilessly on her chest. Like strucked by thousands of large needles. Yui's eyes widen in shock when Miaka suddenly stopped and collapsed beside her although she still look conscious since her eyes are still open.

It was at that moment, Tamahome finally broke through the barrier, punching Nakago and forcing him to his knees.

"NAKAGO!" Yui screamed again and tried to stand up.

Chichiri took his hat and brought it near Tamahome. "Quickly! Use my hat, get Miaka out of here!!"

Miaka could hear everyone but she couldn't think of anything except... to get Yui back. Despite the scrutiating pain she is feeling she knew she has to do something. Without thinking, ignoring the pain, she stood wobbly on her feet behind Yui and with all her might pushed Yui towards the two Suzaku worriors.

"What the?!"

Shock written across their faces, Yui crashed against Tamahome's chest. Nakago's eyes darkened dangerously and alarmed at what he is seeing and immediately used his power to drag Miaka towards him. Locking her against him so that she won't ever think of escaping again.

"Tamahome! Chichiri! Get OUT OF HERE NOWWW!!!"

"Huh?! But-"

Yui was so speechless and couldn't move away from Tamahome. "Tama...home?" She couldn't believe what was happening. Tamahome knew they have to save Yui too and held her tightly against him. "Miaka! We can't leave you here!!"

Nakago raised his hand towards them, readying a ball of energy in attempt to separate them from the priestess of seiryuu. "You WILL...return lady Yui to me." He said threatening them. Chichiri move in front of Tamahome and Yui.

Nakago released a powerfull chi blast and Chichiri quickly blocked it will everything he's got. "BAKA! GO NOW!!!" Miaka screamed.

"Miaka!"

"Tamahome! We must go! I can't hold out much longer!!" Chichiri blocked another chi blast and dropped to his knees.

"Chichri! We can't-" Chichiri turned to him, frustrated. "GO!!!"

"You will not escape!" Nakago quickly attack while holding the Suzaku no miko. Tamahome gritted his teeth and hurriedly pushed Yui in the hat. "Tamahome!" Not wanting to let go, hugged him around his neck. Tamahome looked surprised for second then looked back at Miaka. "I promise, I will return to save you,Miaka!"

Miaka watched weakly as they left followed by Chichiri. "This is not over yet!" Chichiri said bit looked guilty, before disappearing.

The moment Chichiri's hat dropped on the ground, Miaka loose consciousness. The mark on Nakago's forehead was still glowing has he watched the Suzaku worriors disappear with Lady Yui. He felt the Suzaku no miko's body relaxed against his hold to find her finally unconcious. He narrowed his eyes at the young girl and realize that she somewhat manage to disrupt his plans.

Slowly, the glow on his forehead disappeared just as several soldiers came rushing in. "General Nakago!" Some looked very fearfull of the shogun and immediately bowed in his presence.

Nakago placed a hand on Miaka's soft, smooth cheek and slowly move it down and let it rest at her neck.

"Sir...your command?"

Some of the soldiers looked wearily around them and wondered what the hell really happened. They noticed that the lady in the shogun's arms is not lady Yui and the lady in question is no where to be found.

After looking at the Suzaku no miko for a few moments, he suddenly thought of an idea that will literally destroy her. Shifting her body against his, he held her in bridal style and move to leave, the guards following behind.

"Tell the emperor that I wish to.speak to him as soon as possible."

"Yes, general! At your command!"

'If the Suzaku fools think they could save their precious miko, then they are quite mistaken. I'll destroy anyone who stands in my way.' Nakago thought coldly and smiled inwardly.

Author's note: thank you so much for reading! Please review, I would very much like to know what you think and your expectations. If you have questions, you may ask away and I will answer them as best as I can. :) but no spoilers hhehehee I hope you like the first chapter. :)

The reason why im writting this fanfic is because of all the countries, kutou and its people including its seishis are miserable. I believe they are all forced to the things they don't want because of the political and economic circumstances of the country, not to mention they have a terrible emperor. They were all.born innocent and.because of the things around them they must be cruel to not only themselves but to others as well in order to survive. I find their past very sad and I believe they need the justice they all deserve.

Hope you like it! :) if you have suggestions as well please let me know. Thank you everyone.
