Chapter 14
Search for the fifth suzaku warrior
Bella fell to the ground as the pain in her chest grew, "it was a good thing that she sent shippo and shiori and rin and dios and kiarra ahead of her," "she hate worrying them like she dose," growling in pain as she tried to go to where nuriko and miaka are,
Regaining her composure, before this is all over those kuoto idiots will know what true pain is" "if she survives through this," "nothing never work's for her dose it," "she finally found someone again and now look at her," "kuoto the bastards got the best of her,"
*sighing* most of the pain gone, headed by towards the inn, when she finally got to the door she felt a unknown presents behind her, she turned around to see a flash of red and orange and rendered unconscious,
The figure bent down to try to steal the shikon and the voltori necklace but got a shock In a response, the figured cursed and glared and decided to take her with him, picking the girl up he disappeared,
meanwhile With miaka and nuriko in the inn
"I told you nuriko," "I'm fine!"
"You keep saying that," "but I'm not buying it!"
Miaka rolled her eyes in annoyance they dropped it when miaka saw the food, nuriko was about to eat his share but of course miaka got to it before he did, his eye twitching in annoyance, the glutton ate every thing in sight!
"You fat pig!" "You ate my half as well!" Miaka suddenly dropped her chopsticks and the plate she was holding,
"Miaka!"
miaka fell to the ground doubling over clutching her stomach, nuriko eyes widen in shock, "the amount that they paid," "it must caught the eye of the bandits lurking around in these parts," he cursed inwardly,
"miaka was poisoned by these bandit's," and sure enough when the two men attacked them, one tried to be a sneak up on nuriko while he was helping miaka up,
the bandit tried to slice him in half, nuriko was bearly able to catch him with the scabbard of Bella sword, before shouting at miaka on the floor,
"Miaka your gotta get out of here!" "These guys are working for the mountain bandits!," "run for it now!"
Using it's sheath, Bella scabbered broke the other guy sword, and kicked the guy in the face causing the guy to fall over and brake Another table,
however nuriko was preoccupied with Another bandit, the other bandit went straight for miaka which who was oblivious to everything but the pain in her stomach, the man raised his axe and yelled,
"I WANT YOUR MONEY NOW!" Miaka eyes widened in horror for a minute, "she even wondered where bella was,"
she screamed as the fat bandit swung his axe, thinking it was the end for her until a sword stabbed the bandit, killing him almost instantly, as the body fell over, miaka eyes turned from frighten to painfully relieved, it was hotohori with his sword to strike if needed,
"Hotohori?" Nuriko turned to them,
"Your highness?"
Having deposited the other man, he knelt next to miaka as well and put a calming hand on her shoulder, hotohori neared them and asked concerned,
"What is the matter with miaka?" Nuriko answered urgently,
"She pigged out on half dozen of plates of food that seemed to have poison in it," "highness," miaka shook her head,
"They weren't poisoned," "I just over ate and I got a stomach ache,"
nuriko eyes widen and popped out of his head comically and smacked her in the head with bella's sheaved sword, when she asked for water,
hotohori sweat dropped as he watched the two and smile, looking around, he noticed that his angel wasn't there and nuriko has her weapons,
"Where bella?" Miaka and nuriko stopped bickering with each other, it was miaka who answered him,
"Now if you think of it?" Bella hasn't been back for awhile after checking on the horses," "I wonder what's taking her so long, "i hope she ok," hotohori eyes narrowed.
"I passed the stabled on my way in here," "but there was no one in there," nuriko brows furrowed in confusion,
"Well that odd," "I'm sure that's where she said she was going," her stomach ache forgotten miaka jumped to her feet and in horror that something that something might of happened to her cousin,
"Oh no!" "What if one of those bandits got her?" Nuriko got to his feet as well,
"Now now," "let's all calm down," "I know for the fact that our Bella isn't one to be taken down to easy," "maybe she taking a walk or something take in the nature,"
"Then she would of told us!," "I know my cousin she tells people before she go's anywhere!" Hotohori nodded,
"Indeed," "and the fact that she is poisoned," "and she is easy prey," "and her weapons are here as well," nuriko *sighed* in defeat,
"I Guess their right," "since Bella isn't all that well," "she can't fight all that well at all then she would been easy to capture,"
The three went silent as they pondered on there next course of action, suddenly, a ball of fur and snow and while hair flashed pasted them,
"Mama," "where are you?"
It was shippo and shiori and rin with dios and kiarra right behind them, sniffing the whole place for the missing Bella scent, all eyes turned to them,
"Shippo, shiori, rin, dios, kiarra?" "What in the world are you doing here?" "I thought you where back at the palace," Asked a confused nuriko, ignoring him they continued to search for the missing Bella everywhere,
"Ask us later!" "We have to find our mama!" Dios and kiarra mewed in agreement, hotohori gently picked up shiori and patted rin's hair,
"Calm down the three of you," "before anything else please explain why all five of you are here?" He askedgently, shippo and shiori and started to pull at there hair in annoyance,
"Oh fine if you must know," "we snuck out,"
"and when mama told us to check out the area,"
"we found the hide out of the bandits!"
"and We came back here to tell her and she was gone missing!" "And why in kami name is this important," miaka looked at her cousin adopted kid's with sad eye's she loves the as they are her own family as well,
"Umm," "don't worry we will find Bella!" "I'm sure of it!" She tried to sound encouraging but she doubted herself, hotohori looked thoughtful for awhile and them looked at the to demon pups with a serous expression,
"You said you guys saw the bandits hide out?" They turned to him with angry eyes until it hit shiori and rin, so rin told shippo,
"They must'v taken her there!" "Lets go!" "Kiarra and dios will lead the way!" The Demons run out of the room, nuriko yellled after them,
"Wait!" "Why don't we split up?" "The little demons came back," shiori and rin put their hand's on their hips like Bella dose, hotohori found that just adorable,
"What you mean?" "We already know we're the hideout is!" Rolling their eye's and *huffing*, nuriko just crossed his arms in annoyance for being lectured by a child Demon, *sighing*
"Well they have more than one hideout," "they have tone's of them around these parts," "and you guy's can pick up her scents," "and you can try to see if they have taken her somewhere else," we'll go to the hide out that you mentioned," "just give us the directions and we will go and see if they have her there," "and if you need to find us," "you guy's can just sniff us out," "am I right and you can take her weapon's so if we get caught they be with you," miaka frowned,
"We just can't let them go all by themselves," shippo and shiori and rin are just kids! Hotohori just raised a brow at her statement,
"Miaka," "they are demon's they were trained to live and fight," "and dios and kiarra has been trained to protected them if needed," all four demons nodded in agreement, miaka looked down at her new family disbelieving,
"But they are just kids!" Nuriko placed a hand on her shoulder and sighed,
"No matter what you say," "they probably faced worst things than this," "and they are willing to do it," "So come along miaka," "we don't have the time for this," "we have to find Bella before his highness and myself go's stir crazy with worry,"
meanwhile a little while later,
By this time they had split up, the five demon's went on their way, and they went the other way, they headed towards the bandits hide out,
until miaka started to complain that she was tiered and wanted to rest, nuriko wanted to strangle some common seance into her, hotohori just wanted to continue looking for his Bella but he would not deny miaka rest,after all she is still the priestess of suzaku,
realizing the tense atmosphere, miaka decided to brake the ice, so she started to talk to hotohori, while nuriko went to go get water and to chill out a bit,
"she asked how he got he pasted his ever so watchful advisers," "and where chichiri was," he smiled gently and told her the favor that chichiri granted him,
"So chichiri is taking your place while your gone," 'But why are you doing this?" "i know you want to find Bella in all but I mean," "why did you leave you duty's to fallow us?" "its not that I'm complaining or anything," "or Bella wouldn't if she was here," hotohori *sighed*,
"he couldn't come out and say that he loved bella," "right now it's not the right time," "and he was worried sick of letting her travel in her condition," "and well her missed her,"
"It's because I'm still one of your protectors," "and it's still my duty to watch over you," "and I was worried over you and Bella," "and I'm worried about tamahome," miaka laughed at that,
"Why would you worry about me?" "I can take care of myself just fine!"
Hotohori smiled slightly at that and thought, "I really really really doubt that," "it's not that he disliked the girl it's just the truth," "for suzaku sake's a while go she nearly got chopped into two," "if it wasn't for him she would been goner,"
deciding to change the subject, he handed her a piece of paper, miaka looked at it before realizing what it was, hurt flashed through her eyes before she quickly hid it and looked at the paper,
"It's the letter that tamahome left me,"
"There was some ruin's on the back of it," "do you know there meaning," miaka turned over the paper and right there was the ruins but she not sure what they meant, after like reading her mind hotohori spoke once again,
"It means *I love you*," "it's what tamahome feel's about you from the bottom of his heart," a *gasp* escaped miakas lips as she listened to his words,
"To protect his country," "his family," "and the one he truly loves most," "and that's you," "so tamahome gave himself to kuoto," miaka clutched the letter to her chest and bowed her head,
"It's all my fault of course," "I didn't want to believe that tamahome gave himself up for me," memory's from that night flashed in her head,
"Will you always stay with me,'' "and you will never leave me,"
"Of course I won't you silly girl,"
"He said he would stay with me," miaka started to sob,
hotohori placed a hand on her shoulder, and gave her a comforting hug, "for some reason," "when he held Miaka he didn't feel anything," "still he offered as much comfort as could while thinking of his Bella,"
In the bushes, nuriko watched them embrace, miaka let go and started to wiped the tear's from her eyes,
"I'm sorry," "i feel so embarrassed,"
miaka ran away before anyone could stop her,she tripped on a string that activated a trap, a huge block of wood with spikes nearly impaled her,
hotohori eyes widen and Rushed to knock the stunned miaka out of the way, just in time he was out of the was of the death trap, scening something was wrong, nuriko ran from his spot from behind the trees and shouted out his warning's,
"Watch out!" "Miaka!" "Your highness!" "STAY DOWN!"
Just as he was about to reach them, something hard cracked his back of his head, knocking him out, he fell unconscious on the ground next to miaka and hotohori, in a matter of seconds they heard a group of men start the laugh Evilly,
meanwhile With Bella,
Bella *groaned* as she woke up on the cold hard ground, she tried to sit up off the ground but it was to hard when you were tied up,realization struck her,
"kuzo, I got caught," Bella tried to wiggle free from her binds, but pain shot through her, *sighing* she finally gave up and think of another plan, All of a sudden she heard a door open with a man with a candle lit walking through it,
"oh thank kami for the light it gave off," Bella saw his face, he had fiery red hair and a smug face,
"Hey there girly," "your finally awake," "I see,"
he neared her with the candle and knelt on the ground next to her, Bella glared at him and made sure she had her best glare of death on right now so he can see it, seemingly unfazed, he tilted her chin up to get a better look at her face,
"Hey," "your not bad," "your a really good looking for a girl," "well for a girl away's,"
Bella look at him with annoyance and attempted to bite his hand after she elongated her fang's for a deeper bite that her volturi family would be proud of, the man wasn't expecting it and found his hand between her teeth, Bella smirked evilly and bite him even harder,
"AHHHH!" "LET ME GO!" "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Snatching his hand back and rubbing his sore spot, the man shot her a glare,
"What the hell was that for?" Bella humphed and and turned away,
"You deserved it," "you kidnapped me,!" "you baka!" The man raised a eyebrow at that and waved it off,.
"I don't like girls who don't cry," "infact I hate girl's period," "so just sit there and stay quite," "and don't do anything dumb," Bella looked at him like he was stupid, and then just just got a evil thought in her mind,
"So are ya gay?" The man fell over,
"W-what the," "what kind of question is that!" Bella smirked Evilly at him,
"Oh, I guess you are gay then," the man held his shaking fist up,
"What are you talking about?" Bella rolled her eyes and shrugged
"You said you hate the female race," "so I'm taking that you like men," "it's nothing to be ashamed of you know," "I have a best friend who is a cross dresser and who in love with me," "and we get along just fine,
Bella knew this guy wasn't gay, but it dosent stop her fun having fun messing with him, snickering to her self as she watched the man punch the ground,
"I am not gay!" "I am not gay!"
"Whatever you say buddy," Bella couldn't help it this was just to amusing, the man scratched his head in annoyance and plopped on the floor next to her,
"You know whatever," he propped a hand on a knee and the and straighten he other leg out, and leaned against the wall next to Bella, the bandit tried to relax,
but Bella tried to study him, the light of the candle barely reached them but it was enough to see each other clearly, once again she studied him, he looked young,
"Stupid," after hearing that, the bandit loomed over her dangerously, his veins popping out everywhere on his head,
"WHO IN THE WORLD ARE YOU CALLING STUPID?" Bella sweat dropped at the statement and apologized,
"Um well," "I'm sorry," "I guess I was thinking out loud," "and I have a bad habit," and I never broke it yet," he calmed down understanding he has that problem as well,
"You see now this is why I hate girl's," Bella resisted to the urge to roll her eyes at his comment,
"Then may I ask you something," "why did you kidnapped me in the first place?" the bandit paused before sitting back down, he closed his eyes and *huffed*,
"Keh," "I saw that jewel and the jeweled encrusted *V* around your neck and I wanted you to steal it," "and the damned things burned my hand when I tried to take it," "so I took you along with the prizes," Bella smiled apologetically,
"bella knew it was a good idea to place a spell on her family necklace and as well miakas," deciding that struggling was utterly pointless and gave up,
"You know something," "keeping me like this won't get you anywhere," "and there no way I'm letting you to have the jewel and my family necklace buddy," "ummm well," "i was just wondering what is your name?" his amber eyes sought out her brown eyes, Bella giggled as he tilted his head in a wondering manner, it was adorable,
"Why do you want to know?" Bella smiled sarcastically,
"Well," "hmmm let's see here," "would you like to be call," "hey you mister orange," "big orange," "the wired gay guy who hates girls," "or there are a few other I could think of that can be lot worst than that,"
"Oh ok, ok," "i get your point geez," "my name is genro," bella gave him a charming smile,
"Well then, genro-San," "my name is Bella swan volturi," "it's quit nice to meet you," "and would you be so kind and such a gentlemen to untie these bonds?" "I think these rope's have cut my blood in my arms and I can't feel them," the bandit now known as genro, frown and looked at her with confusion,
"No way in hell,"
"Well your just plain rude," "didn't your mama teach you manners?" "And right after we introduced each other," genro shrugged
"Well what did you expect?," "I'm a bandit," "and do you remember calling be gay a few times," "and calling me stupid," "and then calling me weird name's," "and then insult how my mother raised me," "and you call that good manners?" "I may be a bandit," "but I know bad manners when I see them," Bella *sighed* and leaned against the wall,
"Well your not getting the jewel or my family necklace," "so were just stuck in each others presents," "so just be a gentlemen and let me go?" Genro through his hands in the air and let a annoyed breath out,
"Don't you ever shut up woman?" Bella narrowed her eyes dangerously,
"if she didn't know any better," "he was acting like inuyasha or jake,"
"No I don't want to," "answer my question, genro- San," genro shutter in fear at the glare she giving him before he could answer,
*BOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!*
The wall next to them was chatted in seconds,Bella closed her eyes shut and rolled away from the falling wall pieces, genro got up from sensing danger and assumed a protective stance in front of Bella, his back was to bella and a arm to cover his own eyes to protect them from the dust,a few coughs could be heard and
three figures launched them selves at Bella one a fur ball and the other had bat wings,and the other was in her dog demon form as she trasfromed back to her humanoid form,
Bella felt herself being tackled by three figures the auras felt familiar, opening her eyes seeing shippo and shiori and rin,
"Shippo, shiori, rin," "what are you doing here?" They nuzzled their heads with hers,
"Oh mama!" "Are you alright?" "We where all worried about you!"
Their small arm's wrapped around her neck, Bella felt them shaking and her heart broke, knowing that her little ones are crying,
"I'm sorry," "my little ones," "I'm sorry to have worried you," "I promise to not let nothing like this happen again," it was hard to hug them with her hands tied,
"shippo," "can you get the bonds undone please," Bella was happy that her little ones where safe,
suddenly two feral growls catching the four attention, looking at the direction on the growls, they saw dios and kiarra with her hand genro pinned to the ground, dios had his paw against his neck and kiarra had him pinned a team effort, he was trying to breath from the weight of the paw on his neck but wasn't working to well for him, with a stressful *sigh,*
"Dios, kiarra," "let him go," "he's ok he's a friend," the big nekkos let him up and looked back at their prey, genro sucked in air greedily and coughed,shippo and shiori and rin sent a glare at genro and they sliced her bonds,
"Mama how can you call this man a friend he kidnapped you?" Bella rubbed her sore joints and smiled at her little ones,
"It was somewhat my fault you know?" "I forgot to secure the jewel properly," "it's only natural he kidnapped me," "he hasn't done anything to harass me at all," "well not yet," genro after regaining his breath, starting to shout,
"Oh like I ever what to harass you lady!" "If I must say so myself you where the one doing the harassing lady!" Jumping up, brushing himself off and walked around towards the door, Bella stood and call out to him,
"Where are you going now?" He merely raised a hand and waved and not looked back,
"I'll just find Another way to get the bosses seat," "see ya!"
Before Bella could ask what he meant he was already gone out the door, Bella looked at the door in confusion, was it just her or did genro let her go free, whatever either way she leaving, shippo and shiori and rin tugged on her pants,
"Come on mama," "hotohori and the others are heading towards the bandits hideout's," "and he super worried about you," with a blush, she nodded to her little ones and told them of a plan if they are in the hide out captured and left,
With miaka, hotohori, and nuriko in the bandits hide out,
Miaka blinked herself awake and found that her hands and feet are all tied up, she tried to get up and best as she could and looked around, she saw that nuriko and hotohori where still unconscious on the ground next to her, deciding to not to waste no time, miaka shouted,
"Hotohori! Nuriko!"
Nuriko was the first to wake up, fallowing by hotohori, both of them sat up and looked around,
"Oh what a relief!" "I thought they would of killed us!" "But I wonder we are we now," asked nuriko,
"The last thing I remembered was running towards you two," then miaka remember how hotohori saved her, looking at hotohori, she spotted the blood on his sleeve,
"Oh no hotohori," "your hurt!" Hotohori smiled at her hiding his pain,
"It's nothing," he cringed in pain from the movement, miaka *gasped* at the sight seeing her friend in pain.
"If only you haven't pulled me out of the way," "it's from that trap he saved me from," she trailed off from that thought,
"I couldn't bare to think of what could'v happen if he didn't save me,"shaking the thoughts out of her head, he hoped over to hotohori before anything else they heard a huge,
*BOOOOOOM!*
Wondering what could be Going on out there, miaka turned back to hotohori and finished hopping towards him,
"Intruders!" "There a girl with a demon's trying to breach our defenses!"
"Report now!" Said another bandit on the other side of the door,there was a crash and a *BOOOM*,There where more shouts,
"The demon's got away!"
"What of the female?"
"Some of our men where able to capture her and they are bringing her now,"
"Nuriko, miaka, and hotohori looked at each other in confusion wonderment at what in the world in going on out side,just before that could think of anything the door swung open, came in a group of snickering bandits, one had dirty yellow hair, and spoke,
"Oh good I see our prisoners are awake,"
and just in time to," the one sneered behind the one,
"Yeah," "your little buddy tried to bust into here and tried to help you escape," "but instead she got captured instead," they all started laughing, from down the hall the could here shouts of a woman,
"Let me go!" "You jerkoff's!" "Your going to regret it if you don't let me go!" "Let me go you bastard's!" Hotohori's eyes wided, that voice it's Bella,
"Ow!" "she kicked me in the nut's!"
"Catch her she getting away!"
"Ow! she bit me!"
"Ow she kick me!"
"Ow!" "Ow!" "Ow!" "Ow!" "Ow!"
"You know that it girly,
they heard a slap and a few punche's and it went quit, their footsteps neared the door in a matter of seconds they entered with a Bella slung over their shoulders, The one who Has Bella over his shoulder slapped her butt head and grabbed it firmly and said,
"Hey girly wake up,"
bella elongated her fang's, and bit the man hard enough to draw blood,
"oww! Girly"
"that's it," after getting one more feel somewhere he shouldn't and through her on the floor next to the others,
"Bella!"
"Oh I'm fine even though pervert's violated me,"
Lifting herself off the ground again, which seem to be happening a lot today,and turned to the four men and said ,
"Your dead you pervert just wait," "heh heh heh,"
Hotohori was already angry at them harming her, and seeing them touch his angel that way, that made his blood boil, she is his and only his, he lost miaka to tamahome, but Bella and him are together, and the advisors are quite happy about him finding someone,
he never was a greedy man, but when it came to his angel he is greedy with her, but after seeing them touch his Bella in ways his hands should be touching made him want to go kill them, and after seeing the mark on her beautiful face made it a lot worst, he shot the filthy low life bandits a deadly glare for even thinking about touching his and harming what is his,the bandits however ignored them,
"You pretty stupid not to know who we are," judging how pink their cheeks where, they where drunk, the man behind then smirked
"Yeah!" "Where the mighty mt reikaku bandits!" One bandit picked up miakas pink bag up with the family crest on it, this will be your payment for safe passage,
"From here on try don't to do anything stupid," miaka who was also glaring for what they perv did to her cousin, and theme she remember the symbol,
that's right when we where riding that symbol showed in the hand mirror mountain,then that means that one of these bandits lord forbid the perverted one, is probably one of the suzaku warriors,
"Anyways behave and you won't be hurt," "but that girly ass felt quite nice though," before any of them could register what was going one, miaka was hopping around avenging her cousin and checking for the mark,
"Oh now you tell us to behave?" "Your the one's need to behave!" "Grabbing and slapping my cousins butt and her other privet part and she already taken!" "And you tell us to behave!,"
Bella hotohori and nuriko looked at miaka as if she just went crazy or something, Bella got out of hotohori's arms and rushed towards her stupid cousin, and whispered harshly in her ear,
"What are you doing?" "Will you stop it!" Nuriko yelled at miaka,
"Miaka!" "Where all going to end up all dead if you don't stop biting like that!" Bella held onto miaka but she could feel her out strength going, she got to do something,
*BONK* "A fist hit miaka's head,
oh for kami sake's!, now she going to have another reason to act all dumb!, Bella glared at the man who hit her cousin,
"Oh come on now!" "She don't need no more bumps to the head to make her more stupider than she already is you know!"
The man snatched miaka away from Bella and pushed her back onto hotohori and landed right on his lap, nuriko tried to get up but the bandits held him Down,
"Where did this little brat come from?" The blue grey haired bandit asked,
"Koji!" The man had a red scar going accrossed his cheek and tanned skin his eyes where a brownish yellow,
"I came because the boss want's me to bring him one of these prisoners," "we might as well make it the biggest trouble maker of them all," "shall we!" Nuriko lean forward
"If you going to take someone take me!" Bella got off hotohori's lap again she knew he didn't want to let her go but she need to,
she went to face koji, oh she knew vary well what the bandit meant that the boss wanted one of the prisoners she might be a virgin but she won't let him take her cousin to their boss,
"Don't you dare lay another hand on her!" He smirked as he neared her, miaka forgotten on the ground, koji cupped Bella chin, tilted this way and that,
"Maybe I'll take this one," "or maybe for myself," "she a cutie," Bella brown eyes narrow and twisted his hand and kneed him, yelping in pain,
all the other bandits came to help there fellow bandit who was being attack, the grabbed bella after she got a few good shot in on the pervert she violated her and pushed her back on to hotohori, Miaka took this time to explain to nuriko and hotohori,
"Don't worry about me," "I'm not afraid of them," "and Bella got her revenge," "I got a idea about this," "I think one of these guys is one of the suzaku warriors," "and hope its not the pervert," "wait here and rest remember your hurt hotohori," "and Bella seems like she's not able to keep up with these creeps," "ahhhh," takin away by a annoyed koji,
"Let's go we have business," miaka called back cheerfully,
"Bye bye!"
Nuriko and hotohori looked after her, Bella was angered to no end's, "well this is real great," "I got another problem on my hands now," "oh you so going to owe me huge one day my dear cousin,"
"Bella are you all right?" Bella looked up at him and smiled as the best as she could,
"Oh it's nothing I cant handle dear one," "I'm just worried about miaka right now," hotohori gave her a comforting smile and leaned his forehead against hers,
"Don't worry my angel," "she say's that she has a idea," "and she will be ok," Bella bit her lip at that,
"That's what I'm afraid of," before hotohori could say anything else, he felt someone touching his shoulders,
"Hey baby!" "Your pretty fine!"
"Fine!" "What the hell!" Hotohori looked on in disgust at the bandit while he rubbed his face rubbed against him,
"You want to serve us some drinks?," "we could become good friends like girly over there,"
"Baby!" "What the hell?" All manners and proper etiquette went out of the window, Bella looked on at the drunk men thinking her boyfriend a female it was to funny and she tried to hold it in,
her humor was cut to a end when the pervert came back to and got another feel and she kicked him in the face when no one was looking and smirked so she got her revenge twice, Nuriko neared hotohori and whispered,
"No offense sire," "these bandits seem to think we're both Woman as well," "they were probably fooled because we are both are more beautiful than miaka is,"
once they were both freed nuriko suggested that they buy miaka some time to find tasuki, the fifth warrior, bella joined in the conversation,
"I have a idea," "so just play along," hotohori looked at his angel like she is crazy,
"But that involves me pretending being a common serving girl," Bella and nuriko giggled at hotohori,
meanwhile in another room,
The bandit's sat around the table waving there glasse's waiting for their drink,
"You there," "bring me a drink!" Pointing at hotohori, hotohori responded back calmly,
"One moment please," hotohori turned around and pulled out a compact and started to apply it going, *poof,* *poof,* *poof,* and *poof*, after he was done he turned around flipped his hair over his shoulder dramatically and said,
"Their waiting for us girls," nuriko and Bella could imagine him spakling as he was so into his role, nuriko eyes popped out and his mouth opened like a kite, bella couldn't stop laughing at her boyfriend, it's like it was almost his profession,
"Here let me serve you some more big boy," "you drink a lot don't you," nuriko sweat dropped at it,
"I think his highness is enjoying this to much," Bella just shrugged and joined in,
"Hello there sir," "are you enjoying yourself," nuriko fallow suit, nuriko watched as she fell into her role, and all the men started to crowd her,
"well she is as beautiful as hotohori and himself,"
Meanwhile in kuoto,
Tamahome was sitting on the floor crossed legged with kuoto spy's around him,
"Welcome," "tamahome of the suzaku seven," came a unwelcomed voice, he turned his head, tamahome glared and growled,
"You again," nakago was standing by the door with his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to us it at anytime,
"I am nakago," "I am a warrior like yourself," "but I'm a seiryuu warrior though,"
"Seiryuu?" "So this is why you ordered this?" "Or is it so you can get rid of me?" Nakago neared tamahome but he didn't flinch or stop talking,
"So now that you got me here what you going to do to me next?"
"I will use you to comfert lady yui," nakago tilted tamahomes head up,
"Besides it might be amusing to keep you around," "your the first person to hit me," other than the shikon miko," "so It should keep things lively around here for you," "I would hate for you to die of boredom," tamahome smirked,
"Heh," "I'm shocked your so sloppy of a fighter," "and bella hate's you," nakago smirked, and slapped tamahome,
"Nakago!" "Stay away from him!,"
yui came in right after nakago slapped tamahome and she was not happy about it,at his priestess requests, nakago step away and yui ran towards tamahome and wiped his cheek, tamahome *huffed,*
"I've been slapped harder by kids", "you slap like a bitch," nakago eyes darken at the insult but hid it quickly, yui turned to him,
"Wait in the hallway," "I want to be alone with the prisoner," nakago and the other two spies bowed and left the two alone,
"As you wish," "lady yui," when the door closed, yui turned to tamahome,
"I'm sorry about that," "I'll speak to him later," "I promise to have him treat you a lot better,"
meanwhile With yui and tamahome,
"Oh don't worry about me," "what about you?" "Did they force you to be the priestess of seiryuu?"
tamahome looked at yui and felt guilt creep up on him, "he wasn't able to save yui the last time," "but this time he will save her," yui just kept the conversation going,
"I'm kinda surprised that miaka let you come her,"
tamahome bowed his head in shame and a image of Bella killing him came back, he shivered in fear with the shame,
"I left on me own," "and sighed my own death warrant with Bella," tamahome mumbled out that part but yui heard,
"but I'm worried about what Bella has planed for me," "I'm sure they will find the remaing suzaku warriors," "once they do," "i'll escape and go back to konan with the universe of the four gods with me," "haha!" Yui ignored the last bit of it and asked about Bella,
"How is Bella doing?," tamahome gave her a small smile,
"She ok," "a little tired," "but she good," "he tired to avoid not saying that she was poisoned," "he didn't want yui to worry she already has a lot on her plate as it is," she let out a *sigh*
"I wish she would not push herself so much," "it's not healthy," "but that's Bella," "she always been like that," "even when she came to see us when we where kids," tamahome chuckled
"Yeah," "not healthy for the people who stuck around her," "if looks could kill," "we all be dead by now," yui smiled at that,
she glade Bella ok she was he only friend more like a sister, she not going to lose her or tamahome to miaka cousin or not ,
"Oh by the way bella is together with the emperor of Konon," "she quit happy," "and the emperor is in love with her so," tamahome smiled and he told yui the news of her friend,
Yui's eyes widen at that, she was happy that Bella found someone, "but the emperor of konan," "she will leave it alone she won't ruin this for Bella she deserves this happiness."
meanwhile With keisuke and tetsuya
Keisuke and tetsuya went back to Bella's apartment after the long long long story her told him, he finally believed him,since bella didn't have much in her house to eat they went out to grabs some food,
when they came back they were shocked to see shiny new black cars like the one they fallowed when he found out about Bella's powers and miaka mission, they ran up the stairs and the door to Bella apartment was cracked open, they pushed it open and shocked to see what they saw,
Their was people in there with red eyes and pale skin and a women that look's like a ghost, the one with the long black hair got up and open his arms wide in welcome,
"Welcome dear one's," "I'm sorry to say your mother has passed," "but there's much to talk about,"
Keisuke was sad that his mother passed away, but him and his friend went in and sat down a crossed the guys that looked important,
"Well now," "we have finally met the rest of our family," "thank you midariko for informing us,"
"Your welcome aro," "Marcus and caius," "and cullen's it's my pleasure," "I would like to talk to them first though,"
"Sure go right ahead," midariko smiled and them softly,
Hello keisuke tetsuya," "my name is lady midariko," "and Bella is my reincarnation and the protector of the shikon jewel that I created," "I think of her as my own if I had a child but," "there is more," "Bella is of this world and the world of the book," "she is the daughter on the biakko priestess and her warrior," "it took years for her to be born in this world so," "me and the gods chose right,"
"even though the hardships that she went under she is strong," keisuke and tetsuya could only *gawk* at her,
"Well that explains a lot," "but she is still our family either way," midariko smiled and said,
"yes and always,"
