Author's note: I'm back!!! Ok, I haven't been away for that long but I just haven't type this much. Well, my excuse is that I've been working six days a week for the past two weeks so that is my defense. But anyway, I think there are only two more chapters (including this one) and an epilogue! So it's almost finished! Please review! I'll still update if there is no review but review will motivate me so much more! (I admit, I'm not immune to bribery at all!) A bit of an advertising, I started this random as fan fiction of Inuyasha the other day…the problem with it is that I don't know how to continue! But don't worry Buried Memories is still my main focus!

Enjoy and review!

The seven celestial warriors of Suzaku had come up with a plan for those who stayed in Konan. They would meet in the cottage that Chichiri had once stayed in when he spent that period of his life in meditation, provided that they finished their business before the others' return from Sairou, as that would be quicker.

Leaving the palace of Konan had been a rather tearful event due to the farewells, but it was something that had to be done. The past would always exist, but one could not live in it forever.

Yuri had took great comfort in knowing that both her maids were now very happy, as Chinatsu would soon be the empress of Konan, while Hotohori was equally happy that Kotsuki had find happiness by being able to be married to the woman that he loves. That was the only way he could live the maximum happiness despite his role's demand: to be the emperor was to always be lonely, the only way to ease the pain slightly was by having someone who would be beside you to support you.

As for Nuriko…he and his brother has achieved the understanding they never had in their past life.

"You will always be my aniki, but you don't need me now!" Nuriko had told Rokou sincerely, "You are as strong as me! You even did what I could not do. The past is not the present, but the past will always exist. Therefore, you will always be my aniki, even when I leave this world. I will never stop thinking of you as my aniki."

The five of them had arrived in the cottage with little difficulty, although they were all worried about Hotohori, who insisted on only resting when they arrived, instead of spending more time in the palace.

"This is more important!" he had pointed out, which was not untrue, but his main reason was probably not wanting to live in the past too much by remaining in the palace of Konan. "We really need to see the rest, and talk about what to do."

Nonetheless, he was forced by everyone else to lie on the makeshift cot Yuri had quickly made for him the moment they arrived in the cottage.

"You have to rest, Hotohori, considering what happened to you." Mitsukake stated, using his authority as a doctor.

Entering the cottage, Nuriko found Yuri kneeling beside her husband, her hand resting on his forehead. Even though she was still dressed in the ceremonial robe of Seiryuu with the shinzaho around her hair, Nuriko felt as if he was at the village of Konan once again.

It was on the eve of his brother's marriage, as traditional the bridal couple was meant to spend the whole day separated. Ryoen…now Nuriko, had been asked by his elder brother to deliver something to Yuri. He had an opportunity of being close with his future sister, but he had thrown it away.

"I gather that you and aniki had a difficult time? The two of you haven't really explained what had all happened." Nuriko finally said quietly, making the woman turn around to face him.

Yuri nodded, "It had been hard. A lot of things had happened and…" here she paused and spread her hands wide as a gesture of confusion. "Why do I feel as if I am trying to convince you that the reason I agreed to your brother's proposal is because I love him, not because I wanted to have a roof over my head?"

"So you remember that too…" he muttered softly. "Actually, I need to talk to you about all that had happened."

"What Ryoen did?"

He nodded this time. "I…I want to try and explain. You see, as Ryoen… my brother and I…since we were little, we had been very close. He had his friends while I had mine, but there was still always this deep closeness the two of us shared. I suppose it's also due to the fact that we were siblings, so we shared a same home, unlike friends…"

"Then I came and all of a sudden your brother is completely occupied by me, even when you are at home." Yuri finished, "I don't blame you that much for it, although it did upset me a lot. But I think the frustration is mainly due to the fact that you really thought that I was marrying him for a mercenary reason, and you continued to believe that even after everyone else was saying that it is obvious how much I really love him."

"I know I am wrong now…but you have to admit, it was very strange for me when I did not have my memories." Nuriko protested. "He saw you for what I believed to be the first time, and immediately asked you to marry him."

"Then how could I have agreed to marry him for a mercenary reason when it did not seem that he was that well off?" Yuri pointed out.

At this logic, he could only sigh again. "I really am sorry."

Much to his surprise, his sister in law actually smiled and even stood up to place her hands on his shoulder with true sincerity.

"That is all I want, Ryoen…Nuriko. I can forgive you for everything." At his confusion, she began to explain, but not managing to keep the slight bitterness out of her voice. "Sometimes we make mistakes that are our fault, even though we cannot be fully blamed for it. At such a mistake, the only thing to do is to apologise, instead of pretending that it never happened."

"Have you committed such a mistake?"

She nodded for the second time. "So has Miaka."

Miaka? Nuriko would have tried to work out what Yuri meant had she not walked out of the cottage, at this he quickly ran after her, as his apology was only half completed.

He found her talking to Mitsukake softly, probably asking after Hotohori's condition. Chiriko was sitting beside them, reading a scroll with great concentration.

"He only needs rest." Mitsukake reassured Yuri, before he resumed his original task of examining the herbs in his hands. "I know you feel bad about what happened with the possession but it really wasn't your fault."

"You apologised, and that is the main point, isn't it?" Nuriko pointed out with a sincere smile as he repeated what Yuri just said to him.

Smiling in relief, Yuri nodded and sat down with Nuriko. She knew that she should be worried about all that would come, but right now she was happy. Even though her companions were the celestial warriors of Suzaku, they made her feel as if she truly was one of them- that she had a right to be here.

This must be what it would feel like to be the priestess of Suzaku, Yuri thought, the quest would be hard, but it would not always be that bad due to her companions.

But the greater the happiness you have, the greater the despair you would receive, her subconscious reminded her.

Her reveries were interrupted by Nuriko, who shifted himself in order to look at her in the eyes.

"I…I explained my actions as Ryoen, but I also need to explain myself as Nuriko."

"You resented me, I knew that." Yuri said softly, recollecting the numerous times the other celestial warrior glared at her. She had regarded these emotions as being natural, as she believed the other to be a woman.

She only discovered Nuriko's true gender shortly before her death, and by that time she was in so much pain that she didn't care at all.

"There were only a few women before it was my turn to see the emperor," Nuriko began explaining, referring to the day when Hotohori was meant to be electing an empress out of the one hundred concubines. "Then an official told us that we were all to go to the quarters we had been assigned to, because the emperor had already chosen the one he wants.

"It's silly but at that time I had lived as a woman for so long that I really believed that I am a woman. So I was in love with the emperor, or rather, I believed that I was in love with him.

"But I didn't start to really dislike you until you left the palace, because Hotohori…aniki was so upset. I blamed you and believed that if I was so lucky to have his love, I would never do anything that would cause him such pain. I…"

"Nuriko, you said that the past is important, but I do not think we should let some past become a chain either." Yuri interrupted him gently. "Some memories should be let go. Not buried…because they can never be buried…but be accepted and therefore forgotten."

Nuriko nodded, unable to describe the vast amount of relief he felt at her suggestion. Why was it that he felt so guilty due to the negative feelings he had towards her? It was not completely abnormal, but when he gained his memories, and recollected how he had treated her, he felt as if he had committed a crime!

"What do you feel about me now?" Yuri asked curiously.

He paused a bit before he spoke: "At the end of my life as Nuriko, before we all left this world, I admired you for your courage, at what you dared to do. Now, I wish for you to be as an older sister whom I can love.

"In fact…can I call you neesan?"1

At her nod, Nuriko felt that he had got rid of his burden at last, as he finally made peace with Yuri.2

Unlike the shinzaho of Genbu, the shinzaho of Byakko was obtained with relatively little difficulty. That was why Miaka; Tamahome; Chichiri; Taisuki, were either in a cheerful mood as they headed back toward Konan, or felt a bit better even after all that had happened in Konan- before Chichiri and Taisuki got their own stones.

Miaka and Tamahome were extremely happy, as they had obtained Tamahome's stone due to a procedure that brought the two lovers nothing but great happiness. In order to summon Suzaku, as well as gaining Tamahome's stone, Miaka and he must understand the maximum emotion that Suzaku was in charge of, which was love.3

In order to do this, the two of them finally became one entity. Now the two of them were riding on a horse together, Tamahome with his hands around Miaka's waist tightly, while she leant back, smiling in great content as she finally had all that she wanted. After what they did, the two of them had decided that they would marry as soon as they arrive back in Tokyo.4

"This is what I wanted for so long!" Miaka giggled, squeezing Tamahome's hand, ignoring the other's good natured teasing.

"I really am glad that they are still so happy together." Taisuki commented out to Chichiri, who was recollecting the woman who had been his fiancée, whom he vowed to immediately be with as soon as he returned. He was not so much a fool as to waste a second chance when he knew of it.

Taisuki could not forgive himself for what he had done yet, even though the others assured him that he completely redeemed himself due to the part he played when Chichiri was attacked.

"The most disgusting bit is actually not because I tried to force her," Taisuki said once more, his voice now very quiet to prevent the pair in front of them hearing, "But it is because it is done due to a possessive jealousy. I always regard Miaka as a little sister...the type of sister who depends on me. I like that as I am the youngest in my family and my sisters have always dominated over me.

"Then when...when that man..." he paused slightly and shook her head, "I don't want to say his name yet."

"I understand," Chichiri assured him, "I think I'm not ready to be reminded of what he did either."

"After he went, I saw Tamahome and I was just so angry that he didn't look after Miaka, and as a result I didn't think he deserve her, I felt that I actually had the right to judge because I regard her as my younger sister. Likewise, I did that disgusting act due to the fact that I believe I am only doing this for the best of her."5

"Loving someone too much is not always a good thing," Chichiri said rather sagely, "I killed one who is my best friend due to loving her too much."

The two of them exchanged a slight smile before they caught up with the others, determined to not worry Miaka. They all truly adore her as she was the one who never once distrusted them, as well as helping them to make the right choice. Taisuki doubted that any one else in her situation would not hate him after what he did, while Chichiri was sure that he would never find the courage to not fight with the one who had been his best friend if Miaka was not there.6

"What is it?" Taisuki cursed when he almost collided into Tamahome, making his already small control over his horse even thinner.7

"A person is there..." Tamahome whispered, nodding toward a corner surrounded by bushes.

Nodding in understanding, Chichiri began to chant some sort of spell.

"Who is it? Who is it?" Miaka asked eagerly, trying to lean forward to see the hidden person.

Chichiri suddenly frowned, and he actually got off his horse to walk toward the bush.

"Chichiri, what are you doing? That is dangerous!" Taisuki hissed, pulling out his fan.

"It will not be, because I sense the aura of a celestial warrior of Suzaku, although it is not very strong." Chichiri explained.

Without warning, he banged his staff down, making the leaves part way to reveal the person hidden in there.

He was lying on the ground, his body slightly wounded as part of his cloth was stained due to blood. At the sudden light, he tilted his head, making his hair fell to one side of the face in a long cascade of pure raven black, as the ribbon that usually gathered it back had been broken.

"SEISHUKU!" Chichiri chocked out. "Why are you here? Where is Yuri?"8

Sighing, Seishuku sat up, one hand resting on his brow, while the other was pressed over one of the wounds in his stomach.

"I don't know...I don't know anything. All I remember is that I asked Seiryuu to let me go with Yuri, then the next thing I know is that I'm here and then I saw him...Tenkou. He...he attacked me but did not kill me, as he said that he intend to torture me even more by what he would do to Yuri." at the mentioning of her name his voice quickly changed to one of deep worry. "Yuri...do you not know what happened to Yuri at all?"

"We have heard nothing of Yuri-neesan at all!" Miaka said worriedly. "We presume that you'll be in Kutou with her."

Seishuku shook his head furiously, and brought his fist down. "So once again I let her travel alone...once again I fail to help her at all."

"It isn't your fault that this happened." his priestess assured him. "Beside, I'm sure that Yuri-neesan is fine, Kotsuki told us that the new ruler of Kutou is a very good man and that everyone in Kutou really loves Yuri."

"I suppose that assures me slightly but I am still really worried about her- especially as she is alone." unclenching his fist he grabbed the object next to him, and as he held it towards him, they saw that it was the sword that Taitsukun had gave him.

The sword was also holy in a way, not everyone could hold it- at least not those who possessed evil thoughts.9

Initially, Chichiri had been rather suspicious at Seishuku's appearance, because he was sure that Seiryuu would let Seishuku accompany Yuri. He was perhaps the only one who was fully certain that Seiryuu was not a bad deity at all, despite what he had done to Yuri, as well as the crimes his people had committed. What happened with Rin also helped to make him a bit more cautious.10

But then he saw Seishuku touching and holding the sword, so he was certain that the man in front of them was really the last emperor of Konan, as well as one of his best friends in his new life.

"I only hope that Yuri is fine." Seishuku was muttering, and the sincerity in his voice along with his obvious love for his wife made it very hard to believe that this was someone else acting as Seishuku.

Even though the cottage that Chichiri had stayed in was isolated, there was actually a small field of flowers beside it. Yuri found herself drawn to these wildflowers, and singing softly as she began to pick them. The strangest bit was that the lyrics of the song suddenly came to her, making it appear as if she already knew the song, although she was certain that she had not heard it before.

Yet she felt a deep sadness that seemed personal as she sang it. She told herself it was because the words were like a reminder for what had happened to her and Hotohori, but somehow that did not seem to be the true explanation.11

"I would be able to say that I was happy to sacrifice my life for him

If it was the only way to protect him

I can show him a smile for even as my breath is fading away

This calmness can never be taken fro me

Not even by whatever destiny I have

When the pain reaches to the very heart of me

I'll be looking at you

My love for you will remain eternal even when my entire body rots out."12

She shivered slightly as she ended her singing, which made her decide to continue her flower picking in silence. She much preferred the memories of what was certain.

Smiling, she saw herself as the empress of Konan, picking flowers with the help of her maids, who stood behind her with a basket each as she selected the flowers she preferred and carefully cut it. She didn't usually spent much of her time picking flowers as the royal gardeners was responsible, but there were a few times when she wanted a change in her schedule and so she would end up in the garden with the most abundant number of flowers.

Once, Hotohori had finished court early and he had went up to her, embracing her from behind even as she was holding a bunch of flowers next to her breast...

A pair of arms surrounded her, but she was unafraid because she knew who it was.

"Hotohori, are you feeling better?" she asked gently, tilting her head back to look into the face of her husband.

"Yuri, I miss you so much!" he whispered as he turned her around to hold her against him tightly, as well as kissing her very passionately.

She couldn't help but to giggle at this. "You only spent a day resting!"

"A day?" Seishuku repeated with a deep frown. "Yuri, it had been many days as the last time I saw you was when we were still in Tokyo!"13

As soon as they arrived at the cottage, Seishuku had insisted on going to find Yuri, as he knew that she was here. They naturally let him as they could all understand his need of seeing her.

The rest found Chiriko and Nuriko sitting in a spot behind the cottage, completely unaware of their arrival. Once everyone exchanged greeting, they told them that Mitsukake was inside the cottage.

No one noticed the figure lying at one corner of the cottage.

"So Yuri is here?" Tamahome immediately asked.

"She is." Mitsukake stated simply. "Chichiri, I need to talk to you about Hotohori."

The other immediately agreed and even allowed himself to be pulled away from the rest, as the three of them were best friends. "Ryoen...Nuriko should come as well."

"No, their conflict is already solved," Chichiri did not regard this as strange as he thought that Mitsukake meant that Nuriko had finally understand his brother's actions due to the regaining of his memories, that being the main barrier between the siblings. "It is more related with you...and I...

"Chichiri, haven't you realize that we always treated Hotohori as the outsider because of his position as the emperor?"

At this Chichiri couldn't help but to feel a deep pang of guilt as he realized the accuracy of this statement, and he too, began to try and think how Hotohori must have felt.

"To be honest, I never realized how painful if must have been for him whenever we call him 'Hotohori-sama' due to respect, until he made me see that..."

"Wait a moment!" Chichiri immediately looked up at this statement: "You said that..."

"When I saw him with Yuri, I had called him Hotohori-sama and he..."

"You met him already?" Chichiri frowned. "That's strange, I was sure that he did not head this way."

It was Mitsukake's turn to frown this time. "Hotohori had been with us ever since he arrived in Konan with Yuri a day or two ago."

"Who...who is Seishuku then?" Chichiri demanded, his voice no longer hushed.

It was this that finally caused Hotohori to wake up. Sitting up he greeted his companions, wondering why some of them were looking at him with such a strange expression that seemed to be a mixture of shook and horror. Was it because they were all seeing him as the emperor of Konan again? This would make sense if it was only Tamahome and Taisuki, but strangely enough, Miaka was amongst them as well.

Then they heard Yuri scream.

It was not a scream of horror, but more one of shock. Running outside, they saw that Yuri was standing some distance away from Seishuku, who did not seem to have moved, as the scattered flowers were by his feet- indicating where Yuri had stood.14

"Don't...don't come near me!" Yuri was saying to Seishuku. Turning around she saw the rest of the Suzaku warrior with Hotohori among there. "You...don't come near either!"

With the exception of their clothing and the fact that one had his hair gathered back, while the other's hair was completely untied, the two men were identical similar in appearance. Closing his eyes in order for the casting of a spell, Chichiri was to discover that the two men had the same aura around them.

"What is this?" Miaka mumbled.

"Obviously one of them is not real, and from what we have heard one of them might be created by Tenkou." Chiriko analyzed rather rationally. "But the problem is that we cannot really figure out who is the real one."

"They both seem identical." Nuriko stated, next to Yuri, he was the one they expected to detect the real one, as Ryoen was Seishuku's brother, while Nuriko's memories of Hotohori were deeper then the other celestial warriors of Suzaku, as he had been in love with his emperor. "Neesan..."

"How am I suppose to work out who is the real person?" Yuri chocked out. "Hotohori...he has been beside me all these time that it is not possible for him to be fake but if Seishuku is not real it does not make sense as well. What he has said to me...he..."

Perhaps what she feared the most was that Hotohori was not real, because she would never be able to forgive herself if she had lay with another man- if he was even a man- under the believe that he was her husband.

Unable to control herself she sank down to the ground, causing both Hotohori and Seishuku to automatically step forward to her in concern.

"I don't want either of you to come near me right now!" Yuri repeated.

"But you love him, you must be able to know..." Miaka began but was quickly hushed by Nuriko.15

"I don't!" Yuri screamed out.

Suddenly, Seishuku went up to her and grabbed her by the arms.

"What...what are you doing?" Yuri whispered brokenly. "Why do I even ask that? Who are you?"

"Yuri, it is me." Seishuku said tenderly. "I don't know what has been done that caused that...that copy of me to be made, but I don't blame you at all for what happened. Tenkou, Tenkou did this."

All of a sudden Yuri saw that image once again, of Hotohori with Miiru. The insecure bit inside her pointed out that surely her husband would never be with another woman, even if it was by a spell. But rationality quickly stepped in by reminding her that Hikitsu, a celestial warrior of Genbu, had acknowledged Hotohori's presence, surely he would be able to tell whether the man beside her was the real celestial warrior or not.

Seiryuu had appeared as well, if her husband was actually one of Tenkou's minions then wouldn't the god she serve tell her? But he did say that he had little time to do all that he would do...

She was so frustrated that she lacked the will to struggle even as Seishuku held her close.

"It is not fair for you to suffer so much, to be alone and be with that thing Tenkou created." Seishuku was saying, Hotohori would have tore Yuri out of his hold if it wasn't for Nuriko holding him back with his strength, which was regained with his memories.

"Aniki, if you are my aniki, then you must not be irrational." the younger man advised him. "Please see this from our point, and try to be calm."

But how can he be calm when Yuri was being held by what might be one of Tenkou's minions, especially considering what the last one did.

"Yuri, let us leave all this. We have suffered too much already." Seishuku repeated.

"You would have us leaving our duty?" Yuri asked softly, leaning forward.

"I am sick of it all, protecting Miaka when it is you that I truly worry about, as well as not being with you because of the responsibility I have toward my kingdom. Now that I am no longer bind by my duty, this new quest exists to separate me from you again. I don't want that, I don't want to be away from you."

"And so you will take me away from this right now?" Yuri repeated, her hand now resting against his thigh.

"We will go away from all this, have we not done enough? We..."

He was cut off abruptly when Yuri shoved him away from her, as well as drawing his sword out of its sheath to hold it right in front of him.

"Who are you?" Yuri stated flatly, ignoring the mutterings of all the other.

All with the exception of Hotohori, as he was beginning to realize just who the other was.

"Yuri, what are you doing?" Seishuku chocked out, the shock and hurt look on his face was so realistic that it just did not seem to be possible for it to have come from any other man other then him.

"Whoever you are, you are not Hotohori or Seishuku. Yes, you are like him in almost every aspect until you betrayed yourself." she released a chuckle, but there were no mirth in it at all. "He...he would never abandon his duty no matter what, at least not all of it, what you just suggested us to do."

"It's because I am sick of my duties, what they caused us to do! Surely you out of all people would understand!"

"Yes, he would speak of abandoning his duties, and I can understand why he would play with these thoughts." Yuri continued calmly. "And to an extent he is not following his duties as a celestial warrior of Suzaku by being with me, but we are still doing what must be done, not running away as you suggested.

"No mater what, Hotohori would never do that.16

"So I ask you again. Who are you?"

"The part of me that wishes to be free of all responsibility." Hotohori answered softly as he stepped away from all the others to go to Seishuku. "The part of me that wishes to do what I want, instead of doing what I must because of the decrees of the gods. I hate that part of me, as well as envy him. I hate him because he is doing what I regard as despicable, yet I can not help but to admire him because he is doing what I truly wants to do."17

By this time Hotohori had managed to stand right in front of Seishuku, even though the other was backing away.

"I don't know what has happened to make you stand in front of me but enough is enough." Hotohori stated sternly. "I understand now, it is normal to feel what I feel, so I accept your presence in me." Saying so he reached out to hold the other man, pulling him towards his own body. "Return to my body."18

A red light surrounded the two of them, and the rest could do nothing but to watch Seishuku being literally pulled into Hotohori. Strangely, it was not sickening in any way, as Seishuku began to fade the closer he approached Hotohori.

When he was finally gone, Hotohori bent his head down- perhaps in acknowledgement to the other part in him- making his hair fell over his shoulders. This revealed his neck and the glowing character of 'star' that appeared there.

Stretching his hand to Yuri, she immediately went to him, embracing him tightly. Smiling at her, he placed something in her hand.

But their joy was very short, as the light disappeared very quickly due to the shadow that began to circle around them.

"Tenkou." Yuri whispered to Hotohori, who nodded and pulled her into his embrace even more, although he knew that he could offer her very little protection from Tenkou.

"Say good bye to your beloved, priestess of Seiryuu." Tenkou said with a smirk as he stepped out from the shadows, but the chillingness in his voice was enough to make everyone shudder at the thought of what he would do.

Another of his plan failed, leaving him with only the last final plan.

1 Neesan is a way of calling some one 'elder sister'

2 Hopefully I managed to make that good, the whole issue between Yuri and Nuriko (Ryoen). On a side note, their rivalry actually started since that prologue story!

3 This was mentioned in the beginning of Volume 15, when Suzaku told Miaka about Tenkou

4 To be honest the last OVA really surprised me due to the fact that Miaka and Tamahome didn't seem to have marry immediately after the second OVA, although I suppose they probably did have to arrange everything

5 Watase Yuu said that Taisuki's love for Miaka is really more of a sibling love, and his actions are like an over possessiveness towards a young sister, which cause you to be angry when they are in love with another other then you. Personally I don't think that Taisuki is in love with Miaka in the romantic romantic fashion, my view is what I just described.

6 I know that these two things are both admirable but as I said, I don't like Miaka and now I think she is too angelical that is just seem unnatural, I mean, there are times when you have to fight despite who your opponent is. But then I just don't like Miaka so I'm highly biased, I admit that I'm just anti-Miaka, so I might just not like something for the sake that she did it. Although I really don't know how my liking of her shifted to a slight dislike, that eventually turned to a really strong negative feeling. But as I warned in the front, if you like Miaka, then don't read my story! At least don't read this one, I think the first one is not that bad

7 As shown in the original fushigi yugi, Taisuki had great difficulty in riding his horse

8 Yeap, this is Seishuku. Presuming that most people know the original story, I think you would be able to figure out what I'm doing and what has happened!)

9 In the original story Hotohori gave this sword to Miaka, as a replacement of him. He wanted his sword to be able to protect her as he is unable to be beside her, poor Hotohori. But this didn't happen in this story, as it simply didn't happen.

10 I kind of feel that many of the warriors of Suzaku sees things in too much a black and white fashion, or at least that is what I feel now, I feel that Chichiri would be exempt from this with Hotohori (him being an emperor, and he is definitely not naive) because Chichiri had done wrongs himself. As for what Rin did, well he probably did something similar to the manga but I don't know because I never wrote about his actions, I only included Miiru's.

11 This will relate to my prologue, I'm really letting the ideas for my prologue running wild in Buried memories. But as explained, it's like about their past past life, what happened is that Yuri had once sang this song to Hotohori in their past past life.

12 Ok...I really have a thing for Fushigi Yugi character songs, and I have the very bad habit of twisting songs to fit into my ideas even if it is certain that there is no possible ways that a song can be about certain characters. But I often listen to a song and go 'oh that song is describing so and so so well, even though I know that it is not about so and so.' As seen in hidden secrets, I did that with Hotohori's character songs, using quite a lot of it, I couldn't resist doing this in Buried memories too, apart from the difference is that this time, and it is Yuri who is doing the quoting. But this is actually someone else's character song (well duh, Yuri is an oc) This is taken from Soi's character song 'Please tremble', as I really like Soi and I feel that she and Yuri are kind of similar. Note: the actress who did Soi sounds so beautiful when she sing, so I really recommend hearing Soi's character songs, even if you don't like her, as it really is worth it. Being biased here but I think she and Koyasu Takehito and the guy who did Taisuki, sang the best out of the whole cast.

13 Oooh...what is happening? What will happen? By the way, to avoid confusion, Seishuku is the one that Chichiri and the rest found, while Hotohori is the one that accompanied Yuri ever since she woke up in Kutou.

14 I've been watching Weiss Kreuz lately and for some reason that caused me to have images of flowers, so I couldn't help but to include some in this fan fiction. I kind of want to do a fan fiction for Weiss too, as it is a really good story, a bit moralizing but it's still really good. Although I wouldn't be doing one yet as there is no definite plot, only a character)

15 Unlike Miaka, Yuri does not know which one is real just by looking at them, but this does not mean that she love him any less. Because as it will be revealed, both are Hotohori in a way.

16 Hotohori is not doing his full duty by protecting Yuri instead of Miaka, but he is still doing the whole stop Tenkou quest. And he has told Yuri that he doesn't want to be bind to his duties as he once was, but he did not say that he would abandon his duties, although he admits that it is tempting.

17 It kind of sound like split personality eh? At least I thought about it that way when I first came up with this idea? The fact that I came up with the idea when I was listening to sukisyo drama cd didn't help. For those who don't know, Sukisyo is this game/drama/cd the Koyasu Takehito is in-who as we all know by now, is the voice actor for Hotohori, and in Sukisyo, Koyasu's role is Yoru, the alternate ego of the protagonist Sora.

18 This is basically what happened in the book with Taka and Tamahome, the only difference is that in my story it's Seishuku and Hotohori, and it's caused by Hotohori's blood. That was what Tenkou meant.

Author's Note: Gosh, I actually typed this chapter up in two go, I'm so proud! It seems that I suddenly have wave of inspirationAlthough it still took some time updating as want to edit and re-edit it to make sure that it is worth reading- that it is good enough- I really hope it is. I am now certain, the story is almost finished, and it seems that at least in chapter length, it will be shorter then hidden secrets, although I'm not sure about what will happen with the word count.

By the way my computer seems to have gone berserk so I'm, not sure if the spell cheek is working or not.

But I suppose next chapter is the big one? Tenkou being destroyed and Yuri making peace with herself, and we (well, the readers will sort of be able to discover what had happened in the past.) Please review, especially when in regard to the thing about their past/my prologue story which will be in the next chapter, as that will help me to determine whether I should write my prologue story or not.)

So another chapter done, I'll try to get the next chapter (Very likely the last chapter done) finished, as I want to finish my story in December- as I'll get really busy in January as summer school start at that time.
