Okay I decided I will mention characters from another show called Fushigi Yuugi. I will not get the whole crossover thing going. I don't own the shows though. I will describe a couple of them but not get to into it. This chappie will be mostly Takari and Suzaku. Plus Tenku and Seirryu. I will be bringing in Midoriko. On with the story.

Chapter Thirty-one

Takari was amazed at the lands she would be looking at every morning. The people were happy and the land was prospering. The place she was looking at was on the continent and was ruled by a kind and loving ruler. He was very handsome for a human. His golden eyes reminded her of her father. His dark dirty blonde hair was long and shiny. He was young though. No older then eighteen. In front of him though was a girl that had clothes on she recognized. A school uniform for a local middle school in the future. She was amazed at this. She said nothing but her love spoke to her.

"She is my priestess. A child if you will. I believe your mother to be a priestess. But of a different sort." Said the phoenix. Takari nodded. The girl had auburn hair that when down fell slightly past her shoulders. Her green eyes made the emperor smile. Takari saw the love in the young rulers eyes. She smiled. This would be a good group to rule over. She would never have a dull moment. She noticed that there was another young male looking at her with love though he would hide it. A peasant boy with long blue hair and brown eyes he seemed to tease her though.

"Amusing though they are there is more." He showed her his entire territory. The lands were filled with green plants and devoted followers. Though they knew not of her. She didn't mind but she knew that she would love to be known. Her mate sensed the pain and being a god knew what troubled her.

"My people in these other lands never had the legend of the morning and the phoenix. But will know when we mate my love. Especially those in the mainland. They have a connection to me. I will not let the one I love not be known. My priestess will be told and I will show you to them. She nodded and kissed him.

"Now that I have seen the lands love why not take me to your home in the heavens. I love the lands and now want to see where I will be staying." He nodded and nuzzled her. They flew into the morning sky and she smiled making it shine all the brighter. He laughed in his head. The morning never seemed this bright.

Changing as he landed on the gates to the heavens he walked into his part of the heavens. He looked at her as she was gaping at the golden palace in front of her. The castle was not all gold for his was gold and fire red. The red and gold looked great together. Much like that of her fathers it was a mix of east and west. While still holding enough for the human touch it looked like she had walked into a dream. The castle roof had tiles that switched between the colors and the tips had a phoenix in the bright flame of the sun.

"This is your part of the heavens?" She asked stunned he nodded and grabbed her hand. Pulling to let her know he was going inside and wanted her to follow.

"I watch all from her occasionally flying around to see them but normally I stay here. I want you to see the place you will probably be mostly. Unless you go home to your family in the mortal realm." He said and lead her to a beautiful place were as she walked through it changed to a garden like at her family home. She smiled.

"I guess I won't be to far from home. I just don't get those familiar auras of my friends the snake demons. But I have a feeling I wouldn't be lonely for long." She saw her mate laugh and walk to her.

"Only if you want it my love. The morning must want the child of the phoenix first be for he give her any." Said Suzaku. Kissing her passionately. His mate was so happy her aura was healing the lands again. The morning sun glowing brightly and happily. She was standing looking at the garden that looked so much like home. She didn't feel like it was so far away. Plus she could always talk to them. Her sister might mate the dragon of the east and she would be close by.

"I think I might just stay here but I still would like too have my family know I am saying yes to you. I want to have a marriage they will be happy with. Mating you isn't going to be the…" she was cut off by a passionate kiss that was filled with joy. Suzaku had her forever now.

"You won't regret being with me." He said and held her close. I know she will want them to see her mated to me and marry me. I will make her the happiest mate in the universe. My lovely morning child. I will give up everything for you even the fact of being a god if you so wish it. He thought knowing eventually might have to.

"I will show you our room. I was going to have you stay elsewhere but now. I am going to have you sleep in my room." He said knowing he would never be sleeping unless they have a night of pure passion. He figured they might though. She would want to have at least one child.

Tenku

She was laying in her bed staring at the ceiling she knew her sister well. By now she has said yes and will be coming back to marry her love. She knew also that they would be having visits ever so often. She would mother the child of a god. Her little sister Takari mating Suzaku the god of the south. She wasn't jealous she had her own god. Seirryu was on her mind all the time. Her children even liked the eastern dragon god. Problem was the time they were away she nearly caved and mated him. She wanted to say yes. There was a guard here that also wanted her. It was her personal guard they had talked and he seemed interested.

Inu Taisho walked by the guards in the hall and one was talking. He was saying he was going to win the heart of Tenku and mate her. He was happy but something seemed off. He noticed Tenku listening and was stunned as well. The next line was what infuriated them.

"She is a babe. You going to do the usual pup and leave?" said one guard.

"Yeah she is cute but I don't commit. Plus she is going to leave. She has a god to bed." He said and was silence when Inu Taisho came into view and murdered him. Tenku was his sister. His mate had a guard say that before and she was scared. He nearly raped the girl and Inu Taisho was furious.

"Sorry sis but I think your best choice is the god that I see you're happy with. Here you have heart break." He said and left telling a servant to clean up the mess and to inform his father of the guard's behavior. Knowing that he would want to talk to her.

She turned and saw her dilemma in her room. He was standing in front of her. He saw the pain in her eyes and held her. He knew she was trying her hardest to decide. He also knew that she would miss her family. They were all her life and hope. He stood there holding her I silence. He knew she needed time and he had all the time in the world to wait. She didn't her heart broken and tearing even more would not last.

"I don't know what to do I want say yes but I don't want to leave my family. I love them. I know I can bring my little ones but what about. The rest I can't bring them." She said with tears. She loved the god holding her. The thing was she didn't want to make him leave his job for her. He loved her and already told her he would.

"I will stop being the god to watch the lands and be with the you if you say yes. I don't want to make you choose. You have enough problems as is." She shook her head.

"I can't make you do that. I don't want you to. Seirryu I want to be with you their but I…I…" He kissed her. He was glad she wouldn't make him leave. The kiss deepened and he was begging for her to let him taste her again. He sucked on her lip and ran his tongue along the bottom lip. She opened her mouth and let him taste her.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

They broke apart and when she checked he was no longer their. She smiled and opened the door to her room to find her father. He was made and worried.

"Tenku I was checking to see if you were okay. I smelt your tears." She nodded and let him in.

"I had been thinking and still can't decide. That guard had offered me comfort when my former mate died. He was sweet but the children didn't like him. I cried hearing he only wanted me for the children. I came back in and found Seirryu. He comforted me and left when you showed up. I want to leave but don't. I would miss you all. I would be with Takari. But Inu Taisho and the rest of you won't be there. Dad what should I do?" She said and broke down again.

"He probably has offered to give up his being a god." She nodded and growled. Giving him the answer. He smiled.

"Then I would suggest you follow you heart. Your mother told me one day when you were two that she had once made a difficult decision. Even though it was already partially made for her. She wanted to remain in the future to finish her education and let that part be normal. She decided after hearing that she would have to restart she decided as well as her heart did a while ago she would stay with me and not worry about it. Do you truly want to stay with us? Or is that just you denying what you heart has already decided?" This sounded odd from her father but then again he always had surprised everyone. He fell in love with their mother even when she was human. Cried when she felt he didn't truly love her and tried to die. He now was playing the father that want his daughter happy and to get on with what was obvious.

"Thanks Daddy." She said with a smile and one last tear rolling down her face. She wiped it away and kissed him on the cheek. He tickled her on the rib cage and she laughed.

"I still get to torture you while you live her though. For I won't get to for a while." He had another genuine smile on his face. Tenku tried to get him but he had her pinned to the floor. She laughed and kicked out.

"I Sesshoumaru will not be out done by you Tenku my daughter." He laughed and tickled her again. Kagome had seen the whole thing and smiled and walked away. She knew Sesshoumaru would miss the girl but he knew that she wanted to leave. She had seen him with all of them and he would always tickle them to cheer them up. Each one was ticklish. He still did that with the children. Even more with the grandchildren. They loved their grandfather.

"Dad thanks I will miss you." She hugged him and he hugged her back.

"I will miss you Tenku. I love all of you and don't want any of you to end up like I was." He said and left. She turned and found her love. Kissed him and hugged him. This shocked the blue haired god. He kissed back. After breaking the kiss he smiled.

"Feeling better?" He asked and she nodded. He saw her eyes no longer held the hidden pain.

"I will forever be with you in the heavens. I want to be with you and no longer fear the separation from my family." She said and he kissed her and held her.

"I'm glad I don't want to lose you." He said and smiled to her. They walked out and to the gardens and sat there in the peace of the afternoon. He was glad to see her happy and with him. He would be glad for this mating.

Takari and Suzaku

He led her to their room. When he walked in she gasped. There was a large futon with sheets decorated with fire on it. She felt the silk sheets and smiled. The room red and gold like the castle the red was the fire and the gold the morning light. She was so happy. The room was gorgeous and she was happy. He smiled. Walking to the door on the eastern wall opening to reveal a hot spring that smelled of Sakura blossoms.

"I love that sent. Mother has this sent I know I will be reminded of her. I will not let that stop me though." She walked to him.

"I have one last thing about this room to show you." He walked to the northern door and opened it. I led to a room with flowers and cribs.

"I know one day you and I may have an heir. I wish for you to have them near us. I was hoping you would mind." She shook her head. Kissing him and leaning into a tight embrace by the phoenix god. He kissed her neck and led her to the bed. He laid her down and began a slow torture to her. He knew they would be mated by the end of the night. The morning I love so much is now my mate. Was his last clear thought.

Midoriko

She walked into the western lands and felt a huge and powerful aura near her daughter. She ran straight to the castle and feared what it could be. She could tell that it was a dragon but what kind and is it a threat. She was surprised she lived. What had made her live?

She was scared and as she neared the guards opened the gate for her. They knew not to stop her when she was like this and stood out of her way. She ran to the garden and saw something that was surprising. A dragon was holding her grandchild and she was not scared. Midoriko deciding not to bug Tenku walk around looking for her daughter or Maniko.

"Kagome who is that with Tenku?" After finding her daughter and Kagome smiled. Her daughter was in the arms of her love.

"That would be the god Seirryu." Said Sesshoumaru holding Kagome. Midoriko was shocked. She thought about it and it made sense.

"Is she the…" Her daughter nodded.

"Yes she will be the mate of him. She just decided too." Said Kagome happy.

"We also have Takari the Mate of Suzaku." She nodded knowing that would happen. She was shocked but happy. Her grandchildren were happy and going to be fine as would her great grandchildren.

"I want to see all of my family one day." Kagome nodded.

Tenku and Seirryu

"Mate I know you will be happy with the land and people. All of them will love you. I only want you happy. Will you stay by me this night?" He asked and she nodded. Just then her grandmother walked in.

"Tenku I came to congratulate you." She smiled and jumped into her arms. Her grandmother was here and she could me the god that won her heart.

"Seirryu I believe you have heard of my grandmother Midoriko." He went wide-eyed and nodded.

"Midoriko I am glade to see you alive and well." She nodded and Tenku was confused.

"Though not the way he wanted I was once the priestess of Seirryu. I fell in love with your grand father and mated him. I loss the right to be his priestess. Thought I still hold the power." She said and bowed to him.

"Okay so you have ties to my family." He nodded and held her.

"Midoriko I trust you to go and tell the followers I have found a mate." She nodded and left. This was when they left. He had his mate and would be satisfied for the time. Mating her would be soon. For now he had her in his arms. Though even with the gods one is not safe. For the danger would come when each follower knew of the mating.

"I will be yours tonight my mate. I want you to claim me Seirryu." He smiled and nodded.

What dangers is Seirryu thinking of. The life of a god isn't as glorious as they say.
