Chapter 3
The truth and making new friends
"How is that possible!" Asked the emperor, he stared intently at the girl,
tamahome just open and closed his mouth in supreme shock and imitated a fish,Miaka was still clueless as always and asked,
"What dose that mean?" Hotohori regained his composure and explained, not even removing his eyes from the brown wavy haired woman who is just as curious, "it seems she dose not know the enormity of her status,"
"There was another legend, beside the our four gods," "there was Another," "But that god was unlike the others this god had four souls," "and unlike the other gods," "it was trapped in to jewel forever wage battle between demons," "many has tried to purify it completely," "Three has succeeded," "the first one got killed for a evil hanyou tricked her and her lover into harming into each other," "the second one was a girl was born 50 years later," "appeared to found the jewel with in her and shattered it she traveled the lands," "until the third one came along," "which was the most powerful of them all," "she came from the same time period as the other priestess," "The two priestess fighted the evil hanyou together but at great loss the second prestess died," "so the last priestess found out that she was the reincarnation of the creator of the jewel and the true protector of the jewel," "So the girl was destined To have hardships and trial's that to surpass the other priestesses," "and that she was to face it alone," "she is granted one wish as the others have three," "she had vanished and never was seen again," "suzaku was said that he vowed that he would find this god and bring her here and with her chosen prestess to help save his people,"
hotohori saw miaka trying to process the information from the corner of his eye, but his full attention was on Bella who seem deep in thought with as her face held a blank look,
"So the shikon was the fifth god of this world and never have reached world until now," "and the jewel is a girl," "and it's that's obvious that Bella is the priestess," "So dose that mean she finished what was asked of her in sengoku jidi," "she was meant to be here to serve a god of the jewel and suzaku as well?" "And the people of this universe?" "Could Bella get a decent break in her life?" "Dose that mean... Dose...that... Mean, arrrrrraagg," Bella could feel a headache coming,
"so in short," "Bella duty was not finished!" "That's what the jewel meant reacting that concerns suzaku and midariko's veg answers, *sighing,* "suzakus lingering power must of called her and," she snapped out of her thoughts when miaka asked,
"So is Bella really the priestess of this jewel?" Tamahome thought for awhile,
"Where's the proof?" "He doubting that this girl is the priestess of that legend," "That legend said to be lost and only was passed down to the royal family members," "but then again," "he knew about it," "still," "he was still tentative to accept it," "Bella was worried for awhile then *sighed* and answered just the same,"
"All right, all right," "here's your proof," Bella pull the jewel that hanged around her neck witch glowed light, pink light at her touch, she even made a glowing bow which glowed pink out of the power of her miko energy,tamahome eyes widen,
"so it's true?"
"But how?" "That's only a legend and Bella only 17," "asked miaka, is it me or is it miaka coming more observant," Bella *sighed* sadly and looked up to the faces of the three curious people waiting for an answer, knowing she was defeated and knowing the voltrori won't get at her here so,
Bella told them everything from vampires what happen with James and Victoria's revenge, how Edward broke up with her and what he said, Edward wasn't really In love with her, she left out what he tried to do, and how Victoria killed her father and mother,
and then that's how she ended up with kagome there other cousin, she and miroku trained her and so on, and sesshomaru trained and did a blood adoption to make her a half demon with full blood demon powers, after hearing what happen,
Bella told them how the final battle went down how kagome died with inuyasha protecting each other and sango died by her brother miroku died by naraku, then Bella told them how she fired a huge burst of rage in her arrow and purify nuraku and that's how it ended,
and she told them how midariko told her that she was her reincarnation and that she was the true protector of the jewel, Bella told them how victoria killed kagomes family when she came out of the well he poor aunt and little cousin and she purifyed victora and ended up with the yuki's her last remaining but she had enough money for her own apartment next to miakas she has money to last her for the rest of her life so here she is now,
after revealing her secret and telling miaka how our other family really passed away,miaka looked at her like she was some kind of super hero, tamahome and hotohori at what she has accomplished after his majesty regained his bearings, he smiled and said,
"Very well then," "I must ask you to attend a proclamation regarding you
appearance," "after all," "your story has been passed down through generations," "it is almost as famous as the four gods," at Bella tentative nod, he turned to miaka and said,
"And you," "must be the suzaku no miko," miaka just looked at him stupidly
"Eh?"
Hotohori smiled again and led them back into the palace and into the throne room,the three of them where amazed by the extravagance of the palace,
hotohori had changed his clothes and put up his hair, and called for a audience of his advisers and all of the council members and courtiers to witness this faithful day,"first," "he had to apologize for not saying who he was from the beginning," "then to see if miaka would be the priestess of suzaku," "then he have to ask if Bella will help save there nation," he faced the three bowing before him and stated,
"I'm sorry for deceiving you," "but I had to make sure you where the ones we where waiting for," "but we wasn't expecting the shikon miko will appear before us," "but as it is we require both of your help," "will you do it?" Bella did not hesitate before miaka did,
"What could I do to help?" "I mean," "Bella is powerful already but I-," Bella cut her off
"Do you even know why we got here in the first place?" "suzaku appeared because of
you," miaka huffed annoyed at what her cousin told her,
"So your blaming me!" Bella shook her head and said,
"No!" "Stupid cousin of mine!" "I mean he appeared and called you," "it just so happens
that I was with you and he decided I tag along," "but his main target is you," "besides you created the red light and it enabled you to go," "wherever you did," "weren't you," "that should be proof enough," Miaka looked unconvinced but pondered the idea, hotohori decided to give her a boost and said gently,
"When you become the priestess of suzaku," "you shall have the power to grant
yourself three wishes," "that what all it took for miaka to go into miaka land,"
"Really?" "That's means I could wish for a body like a super model so all the boys would drool at my feet," "or can I wish to be the toughest Girl pro wrestling champion," "and I can wish to have food anytime I wish for it!" "Oh," "and of course to wish to be super smart to pass jonan entrance exams," saying that with a bored expression,
"Miaka," Bella said warningly,
"honestly," "have some respect for the situation will you," miaka scratched her head nervously, tamahome rolled his eyes but a small smile appeared on his face,
"Those are petty wishes and are no significance," "but yes," "as long as you gathermthe seven warriors of suzaku," just as those words left his mouth, miaka perked up and shouted,
"I'll do it! I'll do it! I'll do it!" "I'll be your priestess of suzaku!" Bella and tamahome only sweat dropped and shook there heads in exasperated manner, hotohori smiled and declared,
"Let it be known that the priestess of suzaku and the shikon no tama miko," "the
saviors of our empire have appeared!" "They have already have pledged themselves to us," "now the courtiers and the members of the council must do the same!" As a door open behind them to reveal numerous of people bowing down the the two girls, Bella and miaka we're both flabbergasted as the men said in unison,
"We pledge out allegiance to the priestess of suzaku and the priestess of the shikon no tama!" "Please bestow your wise council and save our great nation!" "the to cousins looked at each other and said," "Oh boy,"
The fallowing day
Bella, miaka and tamahome where allowed by the emperor to stay in the palace, right now, miaka is supposed to be waking up, and tamahome was sent by Bella to look after her dear cousin let him dear with waking her you, of course she had to pay him she gave him a key chain that happen to be in her uniform pocket and a few pieces of candy, too, as for Bella herself,she was wondering the halls until she came across a room that she hasn't seen before,as curious as ever,
Bella open the door quietly only to see the emperor and his advisers,deciding to see what's going on, she snuck in quietly and leaned on a pillar in a corner in his room as the emperor looked at himself in the mirror,he was examining his face at every angle and it made Bella wonder what was going through his mind, his advisers were looking at him intently,as if waiting for him to say something important, When,
"I'm so beautiful," "it scares me," "the advisers where either shooting this way and that or either sweat-dropping at his majesty's declaration," then they heard a giggle from the corner as they saw Bella clutching her sides as she busted out into a full on laughter,tears started to form into her eyes as she tried to compose herself, hotohori raised a eyebrow in amusement, after awhile, Bella Calmed down enough to speak,
"Is that all you can think about?" "I can't Believe it I thought vampires where bad," giggling a little more, as she was calming herself down, the emperor had ordered his advisers to leave the room so he could focus on the girl in the room who was smiling at him,
"That was the first time I laughed so hard in a good two years," "I thank you,"
"Really?" Asked the emperor, Bella just smiled at him,
"Ever since everything's that has happen," "I rarely laugh like that in a long Time I kinda of missed it," he smiled a shook his head at her,
"And why is that?"
"Well I kind of lost people that where close to me," "and my heart," Bella voice faltered as she remember the deaths of her family and friends and how Edward ripped out her heart,
"I see," "it must of been heard," "to lose you family and friends together," "but you still have miaka though,"
"You have no idea," Bella wrapped her arms around herself to ward off the same sadness When she lost her family her friends he ice nekko kit and her lost heart ,hotohori stood up and nodded, understanding her loneliness and sadness and realized there more but won't make her tell,"
Bella who was to preoccupied At the moment to notice that hotohori neared her slowly until she enveloped her in a comforting hug,She was shocked but she returned the hug gratefully, he was so warm,
Then a big *thud* was heard, breaking apart slightly, they saw a familiar girl with two buns on her head face planted on the floor,Then tamahome fallowed after miaka,
miaka laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of her head, after shacking his head at the girl,tamahome looked to see Bella's head resting on hotohori chest and hotohori hand wrapped around her waist,
"Uh," "I see both of you are uh," "well come back later," said tamahome as he was about to drag miaka out of the room but was stopped by Bella pulling the back of his hair he yelped in pain, tamahome was in pain as Bella pulled him back,
"What do you mean by that?" "TAMAHOME!" She glared dangerously at him and he only cowered in reply,
"Well," "you look like you were-," he stopped in mid sentence because he felt her aura grow into anger and humiliation,
"oh don't you even go there buddy!" *Gulping,* tamahome nodded frantically and scooted to the corner after he felt that she let go of his hair,he looked like a child being scolded by his mother hotohori chuckle at this,
Miaka looked at the interaction with a curious expression and look at hotohori smiling, slipping into miaka land , "I think hotohori and Bella are starting to like each other," miaka jumped when someone placed there hands on her shoulder's,turning, it was Bella,
"Well,'' "why aren't you jumpy today," "anyways," "what are you doing here?" Miaka decided to try to get Bella to spill the beans, with a devious smirk, she asked,
"I could ask you that as well," Bella blinked and looked at hotohori before smiling as she replyed,
"you wouldn't believe me if I told you," Bella was referring to the little inside joke the emperor made but miaka thought something else, miakas eyes widen as she thought " oh my kami" "she didn't tell me that they confessed to each other already"
"Miaka," "what's that horrified expression of yours for?" "did I say something wrong?" Ignoring her cousin question, miaka blurted out,
"Do you mean to tell me that you guys already said that you like each other and already a couple and you didn't tell me!" Hotohori tensed as Bella gave a scary blank look at her cousin making miaka cover her mouth and wait for bella to get angry at her or hit her or something anything would be better but Bella spoke in a calm dead pan voice,
"Think before you talk remember," Bella bangs covering her eyes, Bella left the room, she felt horrible,
Tamahome and hotohori watched Bella leave the room miaka stood there, shocked by her cousins actions, miaka didn't know what she did wrong, anything would have been better than what Bella said,as far as she knew , then miaka remember about the Edward thing and felt guilty on what she said,feeling the liquid substance on her face,she wiped it away and put on her best smile and turned to hotohori and tamahome, asked in a shaky voice,
"I came here to ask how do I find the rest of the suzaku warriors?" "Then I'll leave," nodding, hotohori said in a serious voice as he decide to forget this whole incident as he explained,
"This is a scroll," as he pulled one out and continued,
"This scroll was passed down from the first emperor lord taiso," "it's called the universe of the four gods,"
"it's just like the book," thought miaka as she listen's further into what hotohori saying,
"It was given to him by a being named taiitsukun," "he or she is the one who governs this world," "he or she was even said created this world," "he or she also given this to the emperor to pass down the line to ready the line to prepare to Serve the priestess of suzaku," "there are 28 constellations that divied by the four," "there are seven constellations for each kingdom," "suzaku is the general term for the the names of the seven constellations in the south," "they are tasuki, nuriko, chichiri, tamahome, chiriko, hotohori, and mistukake," "each of them are the seven warrior's," "and each have marks on there body's to prove that they are one of the seven," "I'm hotohori the sea snake,"
he said as he revealed a red glowing symbol on the side of his neck and covered it again,miaka gasped and turned and looked at tamahome who was standing with his arms behind his head, so that's what that symbol was for,turning to tamahome, hotohori continued,
"You are tamahome," "which means *crab*," "you are to protect the suzaku no miko and bring her strength and power and exhibit it," "the story is about a girl who gathered the seven suzaku warriors," "if you find them all you will make you dreams come true," As hotohori finished, miaka faced him and asked,
"Hoto- I mean, your majesty," "did you know about this?"
"Of course," turning to tamahome, she asked the same question and got the same answer,suddenly miaka was deep in thought, "that's why they been so nice to me," "but what about Bella?" Miaka looked up and met the emperors gaze and asked,
"What about bella?" Asked miaka, hotohori expression dimmed but answered,
"She dose not have seven warriors like the other do," "her god is not the same so therefore," "things are different for her," "the shikon will only grant one wish and return her body," "but it already expected her to face her battles on her own," "and known her will is strong," "as I have said yesterday," "she will endure more than other pristessess," tamahome grimace and looked away, feeling back for Bella she been through hell already and never going to be Over tamahome hopes for some happiness comes her way she didn't deserve the fate that was brought on to her,
"But- why how...'' *Sigh,* "if you don't mind," "I would like to look for the other five," requested miaka with a face filled with determination, she wanted to be able to do something useful so she be able to go home to be able to be normal again,she just wanted to end this dream turned nightmare, Hotohori nodded and announced,
"Gather all those in the kingdom who excel in martial and literally arts," in a flash they where outside with a group of solders waiting for there given task,hotohori was seated in a big fancy chair with two people on either sides of him with big fans because he was the emperor, miaka stood next to him and stepped forward and shouted at the men,
"Alright!" "Anyone with red marks on there body please raise your hand!" No one did and miaka gave a puzzled look,tamahome sat there and stairs and explained,
"The marks don't appear on your body as will," "you know," "I guess I'll have to fight them to see," jumping up and rolling his shoulders and said with a smile,
"I hope that the last five are bunch of pretty woman," miaka heard this and mutter,
"I hope the last five are great men with great personalities,"
They watched as tamahome beat each and ever one of them,to see of any of them as a mark on there person appear to there utter dismay, no one was left standing nor one of them have the red mark,the emperor propped his head on his hand and *sighed,*
"I think we are absolutely getting nowhere with this," miaka stepped up once again and said,
"Well I guess it up to me to find out," hotohori and tamahome looked at her curiously and said together,
"You?"
"Yes," "as the saying go's," "strong dogs never bark," "we'll know if one of them are one of the seven warriors if the don't attack me no matter what," removing her outer uniform and turned to the men,
"All right come on!who wants a piece of me?" "Give it your best shot!"
"We can't," "your the priestess of suzaku," "we can't fight you," the one said, irritated ,miaka came up with a plan,
"Oh I get it you guys are sissys!" "oh," "I'm from another world," "what do you think I'll do to you huh?" "you are just a bunch of idiots!" "You guys are a group of stupid moron's!" "you bunch of limp Chinese noodles!"
The solders where already pissed off from her insults already the last one hit the nerve that broke, they chased her around the place,
"I must have insulted there dinner," said the girl as she watched as the men gang running toward her,
"I guess she went a little too far," commented tamahome,miaka called back started running,
"Well I guess none of them are suzaku warrior!" "Ah!" She managed to duck in time before a sword swung itself above her head and she ran into the gazebo where a flying hammer hit a pillar and it started to crack, tamahome had enough and beat them all again while yelling furiously,
"Did your mother ever tell you not to fight with girls!" Hearing a cry from behind him, tamahome turned and hotohori rose abruptly to see Bella running to push miaka out of the way just as it starts collapsing because if the broken pillar,
"BELLA!" Yelled miaka, tamahome and hotohori simultaneously, miaka who was thrown to the ground looked for sign's to see if her cousin was all right, she ignored the fact that she had a wound on her thigh,
tamahome ran towards the broken down gazebo as he and tried to shove away rocks and broken roofing but it was no good,hotohori was about to do the same when his advisers blocked him,
"Sir," "please step away," "it's to dangerous," Annoyed he pushed the away from him,
"This isn't about me," "this is about Bella," "we have to get her out of under there!"
"Sire," "it would be a miracle if she survived the!"
"If you won't do it then I will," kneeling down he started to remove the debris with tamahome but none of them where strong enough to remove it any faster,
"Sir," "maybe I could be of some help?" Came a voice from behind them, tamahome and hotohori saw a beautiful woman with long violet braided hair, and dressed as one of the royal consorts,
Yui, who was still reading the book,felt her body ache and her body was covered in blood,her wrist felt terrible and so did her chest, then a trail of liquid ran down from her lip,lifting a finger and touching it, it was blood and her thigh hurt to,
"What the-?"
Reading the book again,she discovered that both of her friends where injured, she realized what ever happen to miaka or Bella will happen to her as well,she continued to real after going through things in her head,
meanwhile with bella
Bella was walking around the palace and taking things in and chilled out a bit,she rounded the corner and saw miaka being chased by a bunch of pissed of solders, she watched in amusement for awhile until one threw a hammer and it hit a pillar of the gazebo that miaka was in, hotohori and tamahome was to far away to get to her and with out thinking,she raced acrossed the grounds to push miaka out of the gazebo just as the roof fell,
She was laying on her stomach when she felt the roof fell on her, "oh kami!" "It hurt like when I had vampire venom in me," "basically it hurt like crazy!"
Not being able to move her whole body because of the stretcher on her she tried to search for any damages anywhere on her body and, oh boy, did she feel them, wincing, Bella tried lifting her head,but it was no use, *sighing* and thinking, "obie won your my only hope," and *sighing* again, she tried to relax Kagome felt her wrist was twisted, her leg was broken her rib was broken, and maybe a possible head wound and cuts all over and a busted lip,
"This hurts to bloody much to be dead," she concluded, she was starting to lose a bit of oxygen that she had she felt her body grow weak and limp,she could hear voices outside the rubble, it belong to hotohori and tamahome and the advisers,she also heard Another voice but it was unfamiliar,she couldn't keep her thoughts in place since her other wrist the same one with james bite stuck under a huge rock, she coughed as smoke filled her lungs and tears filled her eyes as she started to cry,
"dear kami","this is just her luck to be stuck like this," Feeling some weight being lifted off of her,she was able to let a smile of releaf,
Korin was from afar with one of her servants, seeing the woman she wanted since she was a child,
"my lady," "we should not be here," warned her servant,ignoring her comment, the consort still watched and asked,
"Is that the priestess of suzaku?" the servant nodded from behind,they watched as miaka insult a group of solders,
"Where is the other one?" Referring to the shikon priestess,her servant did not know and was afraid that her mistress would do something to her but instead,
"Who is that man?" She pointed a delicate finger towards tamahome,
"That is one of the seven suzaku warriors," "tamahome milady," korin smirked as the gazebo started to fall but it disappeared when she saw the shikon miko the woman she loved from the storys she heard push the suzaku no miko out of the way, her frown deepen when she saw the emperor show great concern for her, her thoughts where filled with anger and disgust,"emperor or no," "she is mine,"
"That man!"
even how disgusted at her emperor wanting what was hers,she concealed it quit well and made herself known and offer her help, she was beating herself up inside for even helping that man, that aarrgg,
Hotohori and tamahome made way for the unknown woman that appeared and watch as she tossed every debris like feathers,not even caring where the debris landed while snickering, the royal advisers had to dodge tons of times,
His highness and tamahome looked at her in awe,miaka was also impressed, then the woman spoke again,
"Oh," "she's still alive," hotohori registered it first and rushed toward the injured girl,Bella's angelic face was dusty and blood covered, her clothing was all bloodied, she was still conscious though, hotohori knelt down to Bella and gently lifted her up and walk slowly towards to the doctor,
"You gave us quiet a scare there," "Bella we thought you where going to die," the injured girl smirked,
"You should know that it going to take more than that to kill me off," *groan*, "I've been throught worse," hotohori frowned at that, so she been through more worse cases than this,miaka neared the and apologized over and over again to Bella until tamahome knocked her in the head to shut her up, he look at Bella and gave her a relieved smile,
"Whew!" "Glad to see your alive even though it would be better for me health if you where gone," "he joked lightly," Bella laughed and said
"Ouch it hurts to laugh,"
"Yeah you'd miss me to much," everyone laughed, it seemed her sense of humor still intact, hotohori laid Bella down next to a doctor and looked at the woman who helped them and saw part of a mark on her chest, nearing her he tried to see more of the mark,
"What do you want your highness?" Backing away thinking the emperor was going to do something to her,hotohori lowered his hand and raised his hand and said,
"Oh I wasn't- your mark," he pointed to her chest,realizing what he meant,
"Oh, you mean this," moving a piece of her clothing, hotohori asked,
"Are you not one of the imperial consorts?" She smiled charmingly,
"I'm known as korin but my given name is nuriko," miaka turned to the woman and smiled,
"Willow," whispered hotohori,
"So your the third warrior!" Miaka was so happy to find a warrior,she was getting closer to her dream now, Tamahome was smiling in the back round and hotohori asked,
"What you so happy about tamahome?" hotohori neared bella and sat by her,
"Ooooohhh, nothing nothing nothing," smiling dreaming,bella commented,
"yeah sure you where!"
"Thank you for helping my cousin!" Miaka reached her hand out her to shake but nuriko merely passed her and went for tamahome,
"The person I really wanted to help was this young man," "he seem so worried for the girl," "so I thought that I would help," with that and no other warning, nuriko cupped his face and kissed him soundly on the lips,
All of them where shocked, even Bella, and she was on a stretcher,Saw the whole thing,hotohori was in the same boat but he smiled and was happy for tamahome before turning his attention back to Bella and dampening a cloth and placing it on her forehead, he ignored the scenes behind him and helped the injured female,the doctor was already badging her wounds after cleaning them,
"Ouch," the doctor examining her wrist,it was twisted and he had to twist it back,
"It stung like crazy but can't beat vampire venmon," brought out a cry of pain from the girl,hotohori frowned and moved the hair from her face gently as he proceeds to clean her face, bella smiled her thanks and tried to relax into at his touch, unknown to then a certain someone was glaring daggers at hotohori,
Just as Bella's wrist was back in place, her body glowed a light pink for a moment before disappearing leaving her sitting up feeling good as new,the doctor, hotohori and everyone else looked where amazed but Bella only smiled intently at them,
"It's my miko abiltys it's responding to my needs," "I can heal my own wounds so I'm sorry miaka I can't heal yours," miaka grumbled and hugged her cousin in relief,hotohori smiled and so did tamahome but nuriko seethed in anger as she eyed her emperor ,
Later that day
Bella and and miaka was washing there bloodstained clothing in miakas room so they can talk about a few things, they removed there skirts and there hurts and upper uniform so they can wash them only leaving them in there's unmentionables,it was way to silent for Bella so she said something to break the ice,
"I'm sorry for what I did in hotohori's room," I shouldnt have acted so violently," miaka looked at her guilty expression and said,
"What are you sorry for?" "You had ever right to get mad at me!" "I'm the one who should be sorry," "I should of never blurted out like that," "I'm so sorry," "Bella,"
miaka bowed her head miaka bowed her head and was about to break out into tears until Bella , bonked her on the head, surprised, miaka looked at her cousin with a stern expression on her face,
"Stop that," "you made me feel bad by crying," "I know it's been weighing down on you but I'm here for you," "but we have to get everything in balance and don't tell your not," "I hate when you lie to me," at miakas smile, Bella nodded her approval and started to talk again and started to remove her bra,
"Why don't we get this all done and get dressed and go talk to nuriko ok," "I think I have to straighten thing's out with her," miaka nodded cheerfully, and removed her bra to, then the door opened to revile a frantic tamahome,
"Miaka I need a place to hi-," he stoped and looked at the half necked girls in front of him, Bella and miaka bill freaked before the covered there chest and yelled,
Your bloody pervert get out! Tamahome blushed and waved his arms and said stubbornly,
"You don't understand! I need a place to hi-," he still didn't get to finish his sentence until something was roped around his legs and he faceplates the floor,nuriko appeared looking so giddy to be playing with tamahome,he, however looked at them pleaded to save him,
"Oh," "there you are tama kin's," "I'm sorry lady's", "me and tama kins where just playing and it was his turn to be tied up," *snickering* "right,"
"tama," "sorry to disturb you priestesses," "we'll be leavening now," "come along now tama kin's,"
"that's it,?" *snicker* miaka was fuming. and Bella was was trying hard to contain her amusement from showing on her face,she felt pitty for tamahome,sympathy for miaka and a small amount of hostility toward nuriko, earlier when they where still outside, nuriko kept eying her dangerously,
"Oooooh, I hate her!" She even kissed him infront of me! Exclaimed her cousin, looking at miaka, she said
"Would you rather them to do it in private?" Miaka blushed and looked away,Bella smiled and shook her head,
"Besides you need to get along with her," "eventually," "why not start now?" "tell you what," "let's finish up here, and leave the rest to me," miaka looked at her curiously before nodding, they continued to wash there garments and left them to dry,miaka put on a robe temporary covering her body, bella put on a simple yet elegant blue kimono with a silver obi, brushing her hair, looked at miaka sitting on her bed,
"Well," "how do I look?" Miaka clasped her hands together,
"You look so beautiful," "what are you gonna do?"
"I'm gonna ask for nurikos corporation," "now, now you wait here and behave while I'm out," "I'll see you later tonight," "hopefully," "I won't be to tired," "bye!" Before miaka could protest Bella shut the door, pouting she did as she was told,
"You want to be my servant in a exchange for something that won't benefit you at all?" Asked nuriko while rubbing her hand,tamahome was bandaged tightly around his whole body and couldn't move because of nuriko sitting on him, he was trying to protest and get her off but no wasnt working as planed,
Bella had entered the room and sweat dropped at the sight, she had made a bargain,she will be nuriko personal servant she told herself she will do anything that she told her to do, long as she pledges herself to miaka,
"I don't ask nor need you to understand," "I just need you to agree," nuriko smirked and looked up to her face,
"All right, on one condition,"she dose't want to do his to a person she loves but she need's to play the part,"
"And that's it?" As those words left bella mouth, nuriko grabbed tamahome from under her and hugged him tightly,
"You will not disturb me when tamahome is with me understood," she grinned and giggled, tamahome was trying to wiggle out of her grip,
"Stop it, stop it," both of them ignored him and Bella looked at nuriko,fire burning In her eyes,ready to take on any challenge,
"I wouldn't dream of it," nuriko smirked again and said
"Ok," "let's start with you fixing me hair,"
"Yes ma'am, Bella neared nuriko who was sitting infront of her mirror and started handling her hair with soft movements and great care,nuriko couldnt help but complement her, Bella thought that pixi had to be good for something,
"Hm," "I'm impressed but you still have a long way to go before yo-"
"Yeah yeah yeah," "i know already your going to make me do so really messed up choirs and so on and so forth," "so shut your snarky mouth so I can do your hair,"*sigh,* surprised by the girls insight on her was,nuriko was force to stay quit, and couldn't love her more, tamahome was knocked out and was unconscious and was In a corner,Away from the door,
That afternoon
"Ooooh, Bella," nuriko sang,
"I want you to do this hallway," "it need's a good do over," "it's a big mess!" Called nuriko pointing at the floor,Bella folded her sleeves and started to clean the floor, nuriko was behind her and was spilling dirt everywhere,
"Oh dear," "it's dirtier than ever!" "I thought I told you not make it worst!" "Oh,"and look at this table it's so dirty!" Bella turned behind her and merely *sighed* and started cleaning it, the table how ever was throw at her and she only had the time to lessen the impact with her hand before it knocked both over she laid there, sore tired and angered to no ends,
"Hey! stop bullying Bella!" Yelled a stilled bandaged head to toe tamahome,
"I hate it when yo-," nuriko teared up and started to sob,
"You hate me?" she asked, broken haerted, bella rolled her eyes and mumbled, "drama queen", from under the table, she knew she was a fake Edward did it to her all the time, and tamahome is gonna get drawn in,
"I..no don't hate you," nuriko lunged for him and embraced tamahome,
"So you do love me,'' "I'm so happy tama," Bella was about to gag at her fake scene from under the table,
"your don't hate me," "you do love me," tamahome struggling while Bella anger rises to dangerous levels,
"Knock it off," Bella threw the table at the couple but nuriko used tamahome as a shield herself, rendering poor poor tamahome unconscious again, they left Bella to do her work, bella flipped her hair over her shoulder and began her work,
Miaka saw the whole thing and went to a covered area by the pond to think, she hated nuriko for doing that to Bella and hogging tamahome, "but then again," "maybe she really dose love him,"
Hearing someone crawl towards her, she saw tamahome nearing her all bandaged, "he still didn't get out of that?"
"Tamahome," "what are you doing here?" "I thought you where supposed to be with nuriko," miaka said sadly while helping tamahome out of those irritating bond's,
"when he was free," tamahome stood up Facing her while she sits on the floor with her back to him,
"I escaped when she went out,"
"I thought you liked her,"
"I can never like a girl like that," "she gets on my nerves,"
"Shame," "you made a beautiful couple," she stated downheartedly, there was a moment of silence Before,
"Do you know what your saying?" "Do you really think that?" Miaka hugged her knees tighter towards her as she hears the hurt in his voice, it was like she offended him, she replied out loudly, only for him to hear,
"You seemed you liked enjoyed her company," Miaka heard his footsteps as he started to leave,miaka panicked,she didn't want him to leave just like that,She wanted him to reassure her that everything was alright and that he will be there for her, not thinking clearly,miaka stood up abruptly and aggravating the gash in her thigh,
"Tama-!" She fell,closing her eyes waiting for impact, she thought he would continue walking but was surprised when she heard him,
"You dope," "you know you shouldn't move like that," "come on," "let me r-bandage it for you," helping her sit on the railing and stretch out her injured leg, he fixed the bandages,
"Hold still,"
"Okey," miaka mentally thanking to the gods you listened to her and smiled as tamahome took grate care of her leg,unknown to them, they had a audience, well two actually two, nuriko was listing from behind a tree Bella was watching from the hallway,she was happy for miaka so she will continue to endure nuriko just for them,
