Chapter 5

"The priestess entered the throne room angrily still outraged about the orange haired man." Yui read.

Taka gave a long sigh. "Yep that's him. Orange hair, weird attitude, big silver fan. It's Tasuki."

"Wait a minute, Tasuki just walked out of the palace." Said Yui.

Tatsuya blew his bangs from his eyes. "Probably because Hikari told him off." He muttered.

Miaka looked around the room past her friends. "Don't worry, Tasuki senses something about her, I'm sure of it."

Yui stood up out of her chair looking down at Miaka. "Miaka, Taka, where's Keisuke?" she asked.

Taka shrugged as he sipped his coffee. "Not sure, but he might be home."

Tatsuya stood up beside Yui. "Right, that lazy bum's gotta be somewhere. I'll call his house. Yui you and I will have to go back and pick him up if he's there." He said to her as they exited the room.

Taka looked to Miaka handing her the book. "Why don't you read it while they get in touch with Keisuke."

"All right." She slowly turned the page. "Inside the throne room the emperor, Hotohori introduced the young girl to 3 of the celestial warriors."

"Hikari you have three warriors from the Suzaku Seven that are here to attend to their duties. I am the first Hotohori."

A slim purple haired man stepped forward brining his hand against his chest. "I'm the second, Nuriko. Hi there!" He smiled.

The next one was a very tall man with a bandana wrapped around his head holding up his brown spiked hair. His eyes were obviously spelling out a warm hello. "I am Mitsukake, the third."

Hikari bowed to them with a wide smile. "I'm Hikari Sukunami. Taka- Tamahome, is my dad , and my mom is Miaka."

"No wonder you're so lovely." Nuriko winked.

Hotohori walked down to Hikari, his face had concern written all over.

"What's wrong sire?" asked Mitsukake.

"I also had sent for Tasuki to come as well. He should've been here by now."

"Tph, you know Tasuki, always a lazy bum." Nuriko sighed.

"Tasuki? Who's that?" Hikari asked.

"He is one of the Suzaku Seven."

"Unfortunately." Snickered Nuriko.

"Nuriko.." shushed Mitsukake.

"He has orange hair, like a flame, and he always carries a silver fan around with him."

Hikari suddenly gave a gulp. "a- s-silver fan? Or-orange hair?"

That's rude guy she had spoken to earlier was Tasuki?! One of the Suzaku Seven?!

"Oh.Hotohori.I saw him. I kind of.told him to leave the palace.."

Hotohori blinked. "Why?"

"Well he was being rude." She muttered defensively while looking down.

Nuriko gently patted her shoulder. "Ah it's ok. He probably deserved it anyway. We'll go and look for him."

"No." Hikari protested. "It's my fault, let me go find him. I'll be back."

The three warriors watched their new priestess run from the room into what now was a cloudy day.

Little raindrops landed upon her face as she ran through the city searching for the fellow Suzaku warrior. She stopped at each cart asking if they had seen a man with that certain description.

After each no, and shaking head, Hikari walked along the dirty streets not caring to where she was going. When she was close to losing hope an old man approached her beginning his conversation.

"Are you the young lady that is asking for a man around this city?" he asked.

Word gets around fast in this place

"Yes a guy with orange hair and a big fan."

God the guy's description makes him sound like a fairy.

"I know who this man is. He is one of my accountants. Let me take you to him"

Hikari's frown brightened into a smile. "Thank you." She said.

For a while the old man turned sharp corners almost looking suspicious. Hikari stopped herself when realizing he had led her to a dead end. "Um excuse me, why did you take me here?"

Instead of an answer the old an gave a loud whistle. It echoed jumping off the walls. She turned to see two men walking out from the dark shadows, hungry grins, covered their faces.

"All right boys. I brought you a little present to enjoy so be grateful." The old man chuckled.

The two men approached Hikari, throwing her against the wall. The old man wrapped his arms around her waist and neck. Hikari screamed as they reached for her body.

"Those clothes are in the way.sorry sweety." One of them grinned.

"Get away from me! Help!" she cried.

"Looks like that guy she was looking for ain't gonna see her now heh!" the other laughed.

"Don't be so sure buddy." Replied a different voice.

The three men looked up at the top of the wall. A man holding a large fan stood on his knee looking down at the situation.

"Hey! You're that guy she looking for, aren't you?!" He demanded.

"Dunno, but I advise you to let her go.now.."

The old man pushed Hikari into the other's arms. "What's a punk like you gonna do to me?" He asked.

The warrior stood up tapping the fan on his shoulder. "Well that all depends, I could use my fan and burn you to a crisp, or I can beat you senseless down to a bloody pulp. Both ways are too good for you though."

"FUCKIN BASTARD! Come down here and fight like a man!"

He leaped off the top landing on his feet. Beckoning them with his hands he grinned. "Come on, I'm wide open." All three bums charged at him holding up their fists.

In a distance blink, he dodged each punch knocking his feet into their guts. He bent down picking the old man up by his collar.

"all right pops. I'm gonna make this quick. Come near this girl again, and my flames will be your deathbed. Do we have an understanding?" he asked squeezing his grip.

"Ah! Y-yeah! I got it!"

He suddenly thrust the old man into the wall hearing his nose crack.

Hikari hugged herself tightly as he approached her. He crouched down to her wiping away her messed up strands of hair.

"Heard you were looking for me."

She nodded while her body trembled. "You- you're Tasuki.aren't you." she asked as she shivered.

"Yeah I am, and you are?" He asked helping her to her feet.

"Hikari.Hikari Sukunami.I'm the new priestess."

Tasuki blinked with surprise. "You are? So that means you're the daughter of Taka and Miaka?"

"Yeah.how could you tell?" She asked sarcastically sniffing the cold air.

"Hmm, family resemblance. So I assume you're looking for the rest of the warriors?"

She nodded. "Nuriko and Mitsukake are at the palace with Hotohori."

Tasuki grinned. "Well it's about time we got back together! Ha!" he laughed.

Hikari gripped his sleeve as she shivered. "Tasuki, the sooner you get me to the palace, the sooner you see them." He sighed slipping off his jacket. "Here you're starting to turn blue kid." He chuckled.

She wrapped it around herself then started to walk.

Tasuki bent down picking up a small red ribbon. Hmm family resemblance. Hikari has her eyes.

"hey! You coming?! Or aren't you?! She called with an annoyed tone.

Tasuki stood up throwing his mouth open wide as he yelled.

"Hey! Is that anyway to treat your rescuer?!"

"Rescuer! Shmescuer!" I'm cold! So hurry your ass up!"
