Recap: You "Don't worry. I have a plan to get Miaka and Tamahome together. On the mean time let's go see what they are doing." Nuriko "yeah." You guys arrive just in time to see the gazebo collapse of Miaka and Tamahome.
Story:
You "Aren't you going to help them?" Nuriko "Why should I?" You "Well because you're one of them. Plus Hotohori would appreciate it." Nuriko "You're absolutely right." She then went to dig them out of the rubble which impressed Hotohori when he found out that she was one of them. As Miaka tries to talk to Nuriko, she kisses Tamahome on the lips and returns to your side. You "I see you're trying to get Hotohori jealous." Nuriko "That's right." You "Just don't overdo it." Nuriko "Oh yeah she is your friend." You both went to the room you were staying in. You took off your trench coat and Nuriko sees your necklace. Nuriko "Where did get that necklace?" You "I had this ever since I was a baby… umm I really don't know who my real parents are." Nuriko "You were kidnapped!" You "No, I was left at the doorstep of my 'parents'." That left Nuriko speechless0_0. The next day Miaka agrees to become Nuriko's servant in order to gain her trust. Nuriko asked Miaka to comb her hair and clean the floor. Miaka gets pissed when Nuriko kept flirting with Tamahome and leaves. Tamahome finally escapes Nuriko's crutches bumps into Miaka, they got into a little argument which causes Miaka to put pressure on her wounded leg and Tamahome immediately tends to it. You "I know Miaka has feelings for Tamahome, but what I didn't know Tamahome has feelings for Miaka." Nuriko "I can clearly see that." That Miaka gets tricked by Nuriko into looking for a nonexistent earring and as if having a sixth sense Tamahome burst into Nuriko's room with a worried looked startling you and Nuriko. Then a soaking wet angry Miaka arrives and has a bitch slapping fight with Nuriko. Miaka "I'll tell Hotohori how you feel about him." You looked at Tamahome with as he asked "So I was just a tool?" You "Yup, that's right." Miaka then goes to Hotohori's quarters while you, Tamahome and Nuriko followed secretly behind her. Suddenly Hotohori slices the door with his sword and the three of start dancing. Hotohori "You can stay in my room tonight Miaka." You glared at him "So much for not having feelings…" Tamahome was just staring into space while Nuriko is fuming. You "Baka!" Tamahome and Nuriko leave a stunned Miaka behind with you trailing after them. The next day Tamahome kept ignoring Miaka, Nuriko on the other hand made her feelings out "Nothing between the two of you!" while you just gave Miaka a death glare for hurting two of your friends emotionally. You, Tamahome and Nuriko went to the town and Miaka decides to follow you in a crappy disguise. Nuriko "Saya-chan, Tama-chan look she thinks she's wearing a disguise." You "Just let her be." Tamahome at the top of the conveniently placed stairs and claims he can sell something that belongs to the priestess of Suzaku. He then holds up three pieces of gum and says "Three sliver riyo's each."
