Recap: You gave Miaka a bear hug as you try to console her and say "It's not your fault Miaka." As you were rubbing her back to calm her down. The other came back to tell you it was time to go but stop short when they saw Miaka crying and you whispering words of comfort, they then felt guilty for their actions.
Story:
The journey continues and the fog is getting thicker. You were with Hotohori and Nuriko when Tamahome burst out through the fog. Tamahome "I lost track of Miaka." You "Baka! We have to find her" After looking for five minutes you still had no luck of finding her but you had a sinking feeling that you guys were being tested. Tamahome "I still can't find her." Nuriko "I didn't see any sign of her either." A Miaka look alike came out of the bushes and for some reason only you saw the difference between the two. Miaka "I'm sorry Hotohori did you miss me?" she then latches herself onto him. Tamahome had a shocked look on his face and was left speechless. Nuriko "What do you think you are doing?" Miaka "Jealous Nuriko? You shouldn't be after all you are a man." Nuriko runs away while saying "How could you? That was supposed to be a secret." Tamahome has a disgusted look on his face while Hotohori had one of amazement. You "Who are you? And what did you do to Miaka?" Miaka "So you noticed. I am her shadow." She then holds up her mirror in order to drain Tamahome and Hotohori's power. You get pissed "BAKA!" and started to beat the crap out of the fake. A wound appears on her left breast which made you think that the real Miaka had the same wound. So Tamahome and Hotohori was finally able to join the fight which ended when Nuriko dropped a boulder on top of the fake when it finally showed it's to form a monster. The monster disappears after a while you and Nuriko notice that Miaka lay on the ground in its place. You exclaimed "Miaka!" as you and Nuriko rush to her side with Tamahome and Hotohori behind you. Nuriko tends to the wound on her body but the bleeding doesn't stop, it was as if Miaka had given up on life. Nuriko "Her wounds have been bandage but it won't stop bleeding." You "Miaka you can't die!" Tamahome "If you need blood." Hotohori "If blood is what you need." They both cut themselves and let their wound bleed into of Miaka's wound and say "I'll give you mine." Miaka wakes up and you gave her a bear hug as you said in relief "Don't you ever scare me like that ever again." Suddenly the surroundings change as an old woman appears before all of you saying "You have passed the test. I saw how much the priestess cares for her companions to the point of killing herself in order to save them, and how much her devotion her companions have for her." You "So that means that you are the Tait-skun." Tait-skun "I am, but who are you? I only see three celestial warriors of Suzaku." You had a feeling that all the questions you have about your origins could be answered by her, so you showed her your necklace. As she saw you necklace realization fills her mind. Tait-skun "We have been waiting for your return Suzaku, Saya." Which shocked everyone in your company including you.
