When Miaka woke up the next morning she went to see Yui, but found her room was empty. She was worried and started looking around the palace when she saw one of the palace doors that opened to the outside was open. Worry flooded her mind and she ran out the door. Down in Konan she looked for Yui and somehow ended up in the one place she never wanted to return to. This was the place she had followed that guy the first time she was here. Deciding to leave she turned only to come face to face with the same guy. "Why Hello, little lady. Men come take a look at this. A flower has walked into our home."
Miaka backed up as they advanced on her. Suddenly there he was Tamahome and standing next to him was Yui. "You need three men to handle on little girl? You make me sick!" He jumped down from the roof and beat the men up as Yui ran up to Miaka. "Miaka! What are you doing here?" she asked. Miaka laughed nervously while rubbing the back of her head. "Well you see I was looking for you." "Miaka! I had returned with Tamahome to the palace only to find you missing, so we came to look for you and a good thing to." She hung her head as Yui took her hand and brought her to a safer part of the town.
After walking for some time, the palace guards ran up to them. "There you are Priestess. The Emperor has been worried about you," said the guard. Miaka blushed and Yui smiled. She knew what Miaka was feeling and couldn't help, but smile. The guards escorted the three of them to the palace as Tamahome came up behind them and Miaka introduced him to the guards. When they returned to the palace Miaka was enveloped in a hug by Hotohori. "Miaka, I was so worried when we found you and Lady Yui had disappeared." Miaka returned his hug as Yui smiled at the two.
Hotohori realized what he was doing and immediately backed up. "Forgive me Miaka. I don't know what came over me," He said. She shook her head and smiled. "Don't worry about it Hotohori, in my world that is how we express ourselves to our friends," she said. Yui cleared her throat and Miaka straightened up. "Oh Yeah! Hotohori this is Tamahome. He is one of the Celestial Warriors."
Hotohori greeted him as the girls walked off. "Miaka…" "Yes Yui?" "Please tell me you don't plan to do the same thing you did to get Nuriko to reveal herself are you?" she asked concerned. "I have to Yui, it's the only way." "But why Miaka? Can't you just go into the Harem?" she asked. "And what tell her I know you are one of the Celestial Warriors." She laughed and smiled sadly at her. As soon as Nuriko was on her side Yui would begin her own journey. She hadn't told Miaka yet because she didn't want her friend to worry.
