"What?" she asked, with a confused tone.
"Wait a minute!" Tasuki shouted, "So these four husbands we've been hearing about are actually the four gods!"
"Not to say that I don't believe you, but do you have any proof? It does sound a bit unusual, no da," Chichiri said.
"Are you trying to say that Usagi-chan was lying?" Nuriko said as fire sprouted around him with his glare slowly drilling holes into the blue haired monk.
Usagi watched as Chichiri was quickly shooting out denials so the cross dresser wouldn't kill him. A smile came out on her face as she looked at he brother and his friends and though about the comparisons they would make with her own friends.
Her dear brother, Hotohori, can act like her father at times just as Michiru can act like he mother. Her protective friend, Nuriko, can also match up with Haruka's overprotective nature. Tamahome and Makoto can match their love of martial arts and skills. Tasuki and Rei bot have fiery tempers that could either get them into or out of trouble. Mitsukake's knowledge of medicine cane almost match with Ami's intelligence of medical procedure. Miaka's cheerful and hyper personality can be similar to Minako when she's relaxed. Chichiri's child-like antics and serious personality can also be mistaken as Hotaru's personality, who could be like an innocent child one minute and then a somber adult the next.
Usagi then looked at Chiriko and concentrated onto his inner aura. A light blue aura surrounded his heart, revealing where he stands in this war brewing between Konan and Kotou. While the other Suzaku seishi and their miko were surrounded by a red aura, this young teen has the same color glow as her dragon husband.
Hotohori then saw that Usagi was in a deep thought, deeper than he would usually see her in. He gently touched her shoulder. "Usagi-chan, are you okay?" he asked.
Usagi shook her head and just grinned at her brother. "Chichiri-san, before you asked if there's any proof about my unity with the four gods and the answer is yes," she said. She placed a hand to her shoulder and let it drift from the left, the top of her breasts, to the right shoulder. "I have four characters, I guess you could say, were branded over in this area: fushicho(1) for Suzaku, ryu(2) for Seiryuu, taiga(3) for Byakko, and kame(4) for Genbu. I suppose you could say that those were their mark that stated that I belong to them."
Miaka's face scrunched up in disgust of the idea of having something branded into someone's skin, almost like a tattoo. Then an idea came to her. Usagi is a princess of Konan and she is Suzaku's wife, which means she could help with the summoning ceremony.
Usagi saw the pleading look on the miko's face and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, but by being the four gods' wife, I had also agreed to a contract where I won't interfere or help with the summoning in any way," she said straight out.
"That's okay, Usagi-chan," Hotohori said, giving her a friendly pat on the head.
Nuriko hugged his friend with a big smile on his face. "We kinda figured that that kind of exchange happened."
A knock was heard from the doors. Everyone turned o see Hotaru looking around the room. The young child walked in and bowed slightly. "Usagi-hime, Michiru-mama told me to tell you that it's starting to get late," Hotaru said in a shy tone.
Usagi stood up. "Is it that late already?" she asked.
"Why don't you go over to your room?" Hotohori suggested.
Usagi quickly hugged her brother and best friend and kissed them on the cheek before leaving. "Good night, onii-chan, Ko-kun," she said, "Night minna."
Hotaru followed after her princess but paused at the doorway. Her shyness melted away as she took her glaive and aimed it at the emperor and his friends. "It is considered forbidden to enter Usagi-hime's room when she is in at night," she warned icily, "If anyone has a death wish then they may enter. But be warned, those who tries to break the rule won't ever return to the land of the living ever again."
Her tone and glare must've scared everyone. Tamahome and Tasuki quickly grabbed each other and embraced tightly. Miaka hid behind Nuriko, who just stared in amazement at the twelve-year-old's harsh warning. Chichiri and Chiriko glanced at each other and decided that it would be best to not cross with the warrior of the gods. Mitsukake gave a silent prayer to Suzaku that no one would be stupid enough to disobey. Hotohori just sighed in relief that his sister would be well protected by people who are strong and dedicated to her safety.

Usagi glanced around her room and was any different than the way it was when she left two years ago. A large bed was situated across from the entrance of the room with rose pink curtains, which would cover the bed from view, was tied to the bed posts. A large round wooden table was located in the middle of the room with five chairs, almost like the ends of a star.
On the bed was a silvery silk robe with a golden yellow sash around the waist area. Usagi grinned and figured that Setsuna or one of the servants had probably left it there for her to wear. She turned to the door and closed them and walked over to the bed. She lifted the smooth fabric into her hands and was pleased with the softness of the material.
Slowly and carefully, Usagi took the kimono she wore off and placed it on the bed. She then brought the robe close to her body and leisurely put the robe on until it covered her entire body from view. The robe had long sleeves and reached up to the bottom of her palms and end at her ankles. The golden sash was tied around the robe, tightly to keep the garment in place, but not too tight.
She was admiring the garment so much that she ignored everything in the room. So when a pair of two arms wrapped themselves around her waist, Usagi jumped and quickly turned around, or at least tried to because the arms held her tightly in place, making it impossible for her to move.
Usagi felt her heart jump higher each minute as she got nervous. Silently she wished that she could call for her guards, but there's a good chance that they won't be able to hear her scream.
Low chuckling alerted her to stay still. Usagi didn't know what to do. She felt someone's warm breath blowing against the nape of her neck and immediately closed her eyes.
"What's wrong, Usagi?" asked a suspiciously familiar voice.
She turned around to see a pair of amused red eyes and gasped. "Suzaku, what are you doing here?" she asked the winged god.
Suzaku grinned as he brought a hand to her cheek. "And what is wrong with me wanting to see my wife?" he asked back with a slight smirk on his face.
Usagi shook her head quickly and started to think of a way to reword her question. Suzaku brought her face close to him and leaned over to her ear. His lips caressing her ear as he whispered, "Tonight…is…mine."
He took both sides of her face and kissed her lips. As he felt Usagi's hands making way for his neck, his hands drifted down to her waist. He brought her body closer to his as he deepened the kiss when Usagi's hands were clasped to the back of his neck. When they broke apart for air, Suzaku rested his forehead on top of hers and looked into her eyes.
Usagi looked up at him and smiled. "How's everyone?" she asked, "Are Seiryuu, Genbu, and Byakko okay?"
"They're all fine," Suzaku replied, seating the girl down on the bed beside him, "But that Tasuki should be glad that we can't appear to kill him for his language towards you, but that's why we have Haruka here."
Usagi laughed at his remark. "Well with Michiru over here, I'm afraid Haruka can't do much other than threaten Tasuki-san."
"Seiryuu always did ruin my fun, doesn't he?" Suzaku pouted slightly.
His wife just smiled at him as she cuddled herself close to his warm body. "How's everyone else?" she asked.
"Everyone's fine," Suzaku replied. He kissed her on the forehead and gently laid her down on the bed. "I'll send someone to bring them over if you wish," he said as he climbed on top of her.
"Hm-mm…I'd like that," she whispered as she smile up at her phoenix husband. She slowly brought her hands to his face. "It would be nice if you and everyone else can meet onii-chan, but the gods are forbidden to meet their seishi and miko unless they've been summoned."
Suzaku gently placed a kiss on the right side of her neck with his left hand gently grasping the other side as his right hand took hold of the golden sash, slowly pulled the knot out. He brought his lips back to Usagi's and deepened it as each minute passed while the sash became loose.

Tasuki opened his mouth to let out a loud yawn. "Man, who knew that being a Suzaku seishi is a lot more stressful than being a bandit," he muttered. He was passing by Usagi's room when he heard something.
"What the hell is that?" Tasuki asked.
His hand was about to touch the door when someone grabbed his hand. He opened his mouth to shout when another hand clamped his mouth shut. Tasuki tried to reach for his tessen(5) with his free hand, but the person behind him twisted the hand in their grasp to his back. The mysterious person then started to move far away from the doorway while dragging a struggling Tasuki along.
1) 'Fushicho' means phoenix in Japanese
2) 'Ryu' means dragon in Japanese
3) 'Taiga' means tiger in Japanese
4) 'Kame' means tortoise in Japanese
5) I was talking about the fan that Tasuki carries around, but I wasn't sure if the spelling was correct.
