Chapter 20

Old friends come face to face, and a shocking new tamahome

"Well it seem's to have been a long time hasn't it," "miaka?" "Your looking well," yui cold voice sent chills up their backs, Bella just jumped in the tree,

"Yui what are you doing here?" Yui only scoffed at her friend stupidity,

"Oh come on," "your so stupid," "I didn't even need to bring nakago to find you," "with that big mouth of your's," "you just knocked at the front door and saying I'm hear," "with that huge mouth," "oh come on," "really," "miaka," yui crossed her arms, and smirked smugly at her ex best friend,As she stared down miaka,

Miaka almost cried in despair,Yui was right in front of her,It would been so easy to talk to her,If she didn't have half the palace guard with her,miaka clinched her fist in anger,

"this was not supposed to happen," "she made a promise to meet tamahome under this tree," "she was going to talk to yui when she had a chance," "I guess sooner than later on that one," "but where did things go so wrong,"

She snapped out of her thoughts when tasuki stood in front of her,with a look of confusion, she asked,

"Tasuki what in the world are you doing?"

"I ain't going to sit around and do nothin!" "While this blond bimbo run's her mouth!" Tasuki took out his fan, and yelled out,

"REKKA-SHIENEN!"

It let out a little bit of flame until it came useless,tasuki's eyes bulged out,

"what the hell?"

"So you must be tasuki?"

Everyone turned their headed in the direction of the voice, to only see nakago coming out of the shadows,he had a smug, evil look on his face,as he continued,

"None of your power's will work here," "only for one person," he looked up at the tree,

"Now then who wish's to be the first to die?"

Nakago raised his hand in the direction, with energy glowing all around it, chichiri and tasuki and miaka took a step back, until a huge pink energy orb went toward's nakago, he jumped back and held on to yui,

"Wait nakago," "maybe we should wait in killing them," "where the fun in that," the energy orb was a sign you know, Nakago ordered them to take them to the dungeons, the solders began to move forward,

Miaka harden her gaze, she has to do something, like always she she didn't think before her actions, she ran and lunged at the nearest guard and knock him over,she even surprised nakago on her stupid action,

tasuki, chichiri, and even Bella was trying to get her to stop her doing to stupid actions,but miaka ignored them, after Faceplateing the ground for tackling the guard, she groaned out in pain, before she yelled over her shoulder to her cousin,

"Bella!" "Take chichiri and tasuki and hide someplace!"

"No," "we won't go!" "We can't just leave you with the stupid gang!" Tasuki said stubbornly,

"Go now," "Bella take them now,"

They saw bella jump down from the tree with her wing's and picked up the two warriors, and flew off in a blink of a eye, that no one would see,yui's eyes widen,

"Bella," "she was here," "and I didn't even notice her," yui said sadly, as the guards dragged off her witch of a ex best friend,

meanwhile with tasuki chichiri and Bella,

"Will you shut the hell up will you!" "Or we will get found out," as Bella slapped tasuki,

"Yes" "yes," "well what are we going to do now?" "Princess,"

"Yeah what do you have planned?" "No da,"

"Well after I feel everyone is gone where going in," "chichiri you still can to your spell's so you can just pretend to be someone else," "and while me and stupid pervert red head here will sneak around to find miaka and then tamahome," "since I already know the way around from the last time I was here,"

"Right!" "Great plan!" "You have brain's princess!" "To bad you chose the emperor,"

Bella glared at tasuki then she slapped him, as she searched for no one around, Bella gave the signal,

"Come on I'll fly over," "I can become invisible by a demon spell," after that said,

Bella picked up both of the warriors and flew over to the palace, as she landed, Now chichiri turn into someone, with a *poof*, he turned into nakago, Bella only laughed silently,

"You turned into the bastard nakago," chichiri shrugged,

"First person I thought of here," "now let's go!"

With that they went of in different ways,

meanwhile with Bella and tasuki,

Bella and tasuki was sneaking in the shadows, they where not invisible no more, there where still a few guards patrolling,

Bella and tasuki backs where against the wall,debating on where to go next,they moved off to another wall but it was to tight for them, they heard a few guards pass by them, bella grabbed tasuki's hand so he won't get left behind,

tasuki blushed at the contact they Bella giving him, "her hand's are so soft," As Bella sniffed the air for her cousin, Bella growled at where yui placed miaka, and mumbled under her breath,

"Oh that stupid blonde head girl,"

"Hey Bella!" "Did you find out where miaka is?" Whispered tasuki, Bella narrowed her golden eyes, and glanced at tasuki,miaka is in the dungeon with tama,

Tasuki steps stops at her words, and Bella's hand was still connected with his, Bella felt the pull, growling annoyance,

"what is it now?" "We don't have time for this!"

Tasuki just remembered what happened earlier today, he was snapped out of her thoughts,

"Oh nothing," "I was just thinking that's all,"

they continue on their way to find miaka, tasuki continued to fallow the girl he loved and can't have, but he won't stop trying, then he went back into in thoughts, and didn't realize that Bella stopped, and he collided with her and they fell over his boner collided with her nice ass,

and his luck his thoughts were dirty and he was turned on, Bella eye brow twitched in annoyance at the idiot she is with, as she flip over and glared her golden eyes at tasuki,

"if you haven't forgotten we are sneaking around the enemy lands," "and you are having perverted thought's about me," "you are a huge pervert,"

Bella punched him off her, and got up, and help him up as well, not like we need to rescue one more person,

''Your hopeless,"

Bella brushed off her custom cloths, and leaned against the wall, and peek at the other side of the wall to see if anyone was coming, tasuki rubbed his sore cheek,

"Hey I resent that princess!"

"Shush where here," "look!"

Bella pointed out at the dungeons, where miaka was sitting in the middle of,there was only one guard guarding it, so she will have to knock him out,

meanwhile with the voltori and the others,

"Well I'm guessing midariko has something for us," said Marcus,

Everyone in the room nodded, they where gathered with there luggage, midariko came to see them and told them to have everyone here with their things packed,everyone was brought out of their thoughts from the two flashes of lights, as the light dispersed, it was midariko and byakko,

"Well i see everyone is here," "and it's nice to see you again priestess," byakko greeted everyone, and his priestess,

"Yes what is this all about?" Asked keisuke,

"Well you guys are going to be copied," "so they will be in your place," "it's like chichiri spell," "but different," "these are nayan nayan," "taiitsuku is putting them in your place," "so now let's begin," step in the middle of the room where the mirror appeared,"

Everyone did as they where told shocked to see such a huge mirror, Alice and rose was in heaven,

"Now where on our way," "me and byakko will be with now," "but once you land inside the palace we have to go," said midariko, as she and byakko started to Chant, a red light shot from the mirror and absorbed all of them,

Meanwhile inside the dungeons,

Miaka sat down on the nasty way floor and drew her knees up to her chest,

"what will I do now?" "tamahome is locked up in here somewhere," "I just need to get out of here and look for him," "but I need tasuki Bella and chichiri," miaka let out a sad *sigh*,as she remember what yui had said,

"It's been quite a while," "miaka"

Miaka hugged her knees tighter to her, and she laid her head on her knees,

"yui you turned do cold," "and your eyes seemed so cold as if they where ice," "isn't there some way that we can go back the way we once where,"

While miaka was deep in thought, she felt something poking at her,since she just ignored it, the poking continued, miaka turned her head around quickly and yelled at the person who was poking at her,

"Hey stop poking at me!" "I'm trying to think here!"

A cat smile and slanted eyes with a paw in the air as if saying hello, miaka perked up when she saw mistukake cat,

Tama started to point at the cell door, miaka looked over only to see a chained up skeleton, miaka only looked at the cat with confusion,

"There is no one here?" "What are you trying to tell me kitty?"

Tama fur fluffed in annoyance,tama neared the bars and walked threw them with out any problem to the other side, and sitting on the ground, then pointing next to him,

miaka looked on in confusion at what the cat was doing,not a minute later they heard a ruckus behind the metal door,

"HEY WHAT THE-"

"OW!" "MY NUTS!"

"GET UP MORON!"

"HELL NO I'M GETTING MY FREAKING ASS KICK BY A FREAKING GIRL!"

Then it went quiet,and the door creaked open, miaka brighten up and smiled hopefully, "oh it has to be tamahome," "I just knew he wouldn't forget about meeting up with me," her face saddened when she saw tasuki,

"Oh it's just you," tasuki eyebrow twitched in annoyance,

"what the-," "well that is just ungrateful you know," "we came here to save you", "and this how we are thanked," "huh?" Miaka tilted her head in confusion,And got up,

"Isn't chichiri with you as well?"

"No," "we sent him on another mission here," "and don't insult me dear cousin," "do I look like him,"

as Bella stepped out from behind Tasuki to revile herself, miaka brighten up at the sight of her cousin, even though she is in demon form she still loves her,miaka clutched the bars to her cell,

"Oh Bella," "you came to rescue me!" "Your alway's super woman to me," Bella just rolled her eyes and opened her cousins cell,

"oh how she wished to have a camera right now," miaka ran straight to her cousin and hugged the air out of her,

"Oh Bella," "glad you came to save me," "you alway's do," Bella let a soft smile grace her face,

"It's ok dear cousin," "now let got I can't breath," miaka doing as she was told,

"Where is chichiri?" Asked miaka,

"He at another part of the palace looking for tamahome," "but we need to get going,"

as they left the dungeon area, as they snuck around the halls of the palace,as they passed down the hallways,

miaka started to smell food,she tried so hard to ignored the smell of the food, but her body went into auto pilot, miaka inner struggle with her stomach was always a weak point for her,and she ended up where the smell of food was coming from, tasuki saw her heading off in a direction they didn't wish to go into,

"Hey!" "Miaka where are you going off to,"

Bella saw tasuki running after her cousin, she cursed under her breath and she went after the idiot trio, Bella just rounded the corner to see her cousins internal struggle trying to open a door,

while tasuki and tama was trying to hold her back to stop her,it seemed her cousin stomach and body is on auto pilot again,tasuki and tamas grip slipped and they where sent flying,

Bella's golden eyes narrowed, there was someone else inside that room,she flashed with her demon speed and grabbed tasuki by the scuff of his collar and dragged him to the nearest corner,

"Go and find chichiri," "I'll put a spell on you so you won't be seen by no one," until you reach chichiri or one of us, as Bella chanted, tasuki and tama was invisible,

Meanwhile inside of the room,

Miaka opened the door, and drooled at the feast that was laid out on the table,the was food of all kinds, she was acting like a fat kid in a candy store,

"Welcome dear miaka," came a familiar voice, Miaka spun around to see yui's dull cold blue eyes,

"Yui,"

"Oh same old miaka," "you could never back away from food could you?" As yui snickered,As she walked over to the table and sat down,

"Well then," "don't sit there looking stupid," "sit down and take a load off," "this meal just for you,"

tama jumped out of miakas arms to the ground, as miaka sat at the other end of the table,miaka eyed and drooled at the food, while yui drank out of a goblet with her eyes closed,

"Go on," "eat up," "it's not poisoned you know," "it quiet good," yui opened her eyes and only to see miaka eaten more than a plate or two,

"Oh yes," "I agree it was yummy,"

as miaka licked a plate like a dog,which only made yui to laugh at the scene, miaka thought that she had forgiven her,miaka felt hope build up inside of her,maybe we can go back to the way we where back then,so she pushed her luck and asked

"Um," "yui?"

"Let me just say this!" Miaka shocked at yui's tone,

"I will never let tamahome go back to a filthy little slutty whore bitch of a traitor!" "I could kill you at any time!" "But I don't wish this to be boring!" "So I'm just going allow you to live!" Miaka looked at her friend sadly,

"Yui... I..I don't know how to apologize," "on the horrible thing that happen to you," "but I-," miaka was cut off by yui splashing water all over her face,

"There isn't nothing that you can say to me out of your filthy mouth that could help me now!" Yui shouted angrily,

"and you didn't even come to save me did you?" "So

while I was taking the abuse and being raped!" "All you could do is think of

yourself and how much you wanted tamahome,!" "And so you can run back to his awaiting arms!" "Payback is a bitch!"

The door slammed open with such force, entering a red eyed Bella, who was angered to say the least,yui was the first to speak to her,

"Bella," "what are you doing here?" Bella let the red leave her golden eyes, and started to talk,

"Yui?" "What happen to you when you arrived in kutou," yui eyes widen at Bella's words,

"What you didn't know?" "But miaka.. And tamahome all knew?" Miaka looked away ashamed,

"No one has told her what happened," "yui," "she wasn't with us when we went to taiitsuku," yui bowed her head and started the laugh hysterically,

"Oh of course you wouldn't tell her," "why where you afraid that your cousin would disown your and leave you and come join me!" Miaka cringed at yui's words,

"It was true," "I thought that," "but then again it was your only right to tell her yourself," "I thought it would be best if you told her yourself," "and we where thinking of ourselves while she was risking her life protecting konan,"

"Yui," "answer right now,"

yui turned to the girl she thought as a sister, and she could see that Bella isn't in no mood for no games, yui shot miaka a evil glare,

"Oh fine!" "When I arrived here I was attacked!" "I was defiled by pervert's!" "So there better!"

As yui shot miaka a venomous look, miaka had her face covered in shame, she had a image of her cousin looking at her with disgust, Bella's golden eyes widen at what yui as just said, then yui continued,After she reviled her wrist,

"So as long as I have this scar," "I would never forgive that bitch!" Yui's cold gaze met with miaka sad one,

"and you will never have tamahome he is mine,"

Bella flashed with her demon speed and grabbed yui's wrist,grabbing the wrist that had a scar in it, bells ignored yui's pleas to let go, and she pushed her miko energy thought her hand, miaka stood up to see what her cousin was doing,

yui thought what she was going to do was going to hurt, she felt warm and welcomed, as Bella let go of her wrist her scar was gone,yui looked up at Bella in confusion, trying to ask what she didn't but her mouth didn't seem to work,with that scar gone it seemed like she had a huge weight lifted off her shoulder, her eyes brimmed with tears, Bella stepped back and knelt on the floor in front of the girl,

"Yui," "I know that had to be hard to deal with alone," "I'm sorry that it happened to you," "i know the pain your going through," "I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you when you needed me most," "I know how you feel," "if you need me," "take this it was given to me by inu Tasho as a welcome gift to the family," "you call me through it," "I'll respond," "you are never alone,"

Yui covered her mouth, as she started to cry, miaka began to cry softly and joined her cousin on the floor,as they tried to calm the distressed girl,

"You expected me to forgive miaka just like that?" bella raiser her hand,

"I don't expect you to do nothing," "all I just wish is to see a girl I think of as a sister to be happy," "isn't that what you wish?"

"HOW THE HELL YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT?" "OR UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS GOING THREW,"

"It's because it almost happened to me before Edward was found on top of me," "only few people know about that," "the only person alive today who knows it is my husband," "and plus remember my long suffering from the losses I lost," "All you need to do is let your anger out," "we love you," "we will wait for you when you chose to make that decision for your self," Miaka bowed her head to the ground that it nearly touched it,

"Yes it was true," "it was most of the reason I came back," "I love him with my whole heart he my life mate," "and even if I didn't have him," "I would still came back for you yui," before she could say anything, yui slammed her palms on the table,

"You think because your bowing to me," "I would cave in and forgive you?" "it's to late for me to forgive you!" "Now is it," "miaka?,"

yui headed towards the door as fast as she could, but miaka latched herself onto her arm,

"Oh yui," "please just let tamahome go!" "Please you!" "Tamahome is no part of this!" Yui didn't listen as she knocked the stupid girl off her,

miaka stumbled back and landed on a chest, miaka looked up who she bumped into, and was shocked to see it was the the person they where looking for the whole night,

"Tamahome?"

"Miaka?"

Tears spilled from her eyes widen as she started to cry, and threw her self at the man she loved,

"tamahome!"

Yui's looked away, not wishing to see any of this, it hurt to much,Bella gotten back to her feet, and saw tamahome, but there was something vary wrong with him,miaka hugged tamahome tighter,

"I missed you so much," "tamahome,"

tamahome placed a hand on her shoulder as he and the other behind his back,

"I did as well," "miaka," before he pushed her away from him roughly,

"I missed you so much!"

Miaka was so shocked by tamahomes reactions, she didn't noticed the pair of nun chucks head for her, before they could hit her, Bella flashed in front of her, she was able to change places with her cousin, before there was a huge crash, and the both fell down and broke the table,miaka was ok, but still in shock,but Bella wasn't she was gripping the table, her right shoulder was bleeding heavily,

"Tama... Home?"

"What give you the right to speak to me you filthy whore!"

Miaka looked at tamahome with widen eyes, a memory flashed a crossed her mind, "I love you so much," The tamahome before them, was about to attack again,

"Don't you dare ever speak to me like that again you trash!"

"Soon we will be together again," "I love you miaka,"

"This can't be!"

miaka screamed out in horror, The nun chucked head right near her head,tamahome had a evil smirk on his face,

unknown to tamahome, Bella's leg kicked up, and messed up his aim to her cousins head, it landed close to her bun on the side of her head, and loosen her ribbon,her brown hair flowed down her shoulder,and her ribbon fell to the ground, Tamahome cursed that he missed, "damnit to hell,"

"Bella will you stop getting in the way!" "So i can Kill this stupid bitch that you call family!" Bella spit in his face,

"In your wildest dreams," "lover boy," "you don't harm what is mine!"

Bella grabbed her cousin with her good arm and put her on her back and dashed out of the room,

"Let's go miaka where leaving right now!" "Tama was right behind them,"

As she turned them invisible so they won't be found, as she ran down the halls, away from that room so her cousin don't get harmed no more,as miaka jumped off her back Bella came to a halt,

"No!" "That was tamahome Bella!" "I can't just leave him!"

"Miaka are you freaking crazy!" "He nearly broke your bloody arm!" "If I wasn't there he would have!" "And a lot more!" Miaka gave her cousin a determined look,

"No I will not leave him Bella!" "They must have don't something to him!" "If he read's this note he would remember me!" "I'm sure of it!"

she pulled out the note out, the one that tamahome,and she ran off towards the tree where they where supposed to meet, and Bella's spell broke off of her,

"I'm sure if I see tamahome one more time!" "And if he reads this letter," "he would Remember who he is,"

Meanwhile in konan,

Chiriko played his flute, the soothing music played all out through the palace,they where all I'm one room, hotohori sat in a chair with his head leaning against the back of his hand, the kid's went to bed,

mistukake was leaning against the wall, chiriko was paying his flute, while nuriko paced back and forth in worry,

"Their not back yet," "their late!" "Something must have gone wrong!" "They had enough time to do all this!"

Hotohori was in his own thoughts and in worry,"I just hope my angel is ok," "I have a bad feeling something is going on over there," "but I have to trust in her to take care of thing's in her own way," "I just miss her and worried that she will end up dead or worst," nuriko stood in front of hotohori, feeling his pain,

"Oh your highness," before being snapped out of his thought's on worrying, with out any warning, nuriko kicked chiriko in the face,

"HOW CAN YOU PLAY THAT STUPID THING?" "DON'T YOU CARE AT ALL!" Chiriko jumped to his feet and rubbed his sore spot,

"I'm only playing to help his majesty troubled heart!" Nuriko growled, as he pulled his sleeves up,

"GIMMI THAT RIGHT NOW!"

"No I will not!"

It's freaking annoying!" "You stupid twit!"

Mistukake who remained quiet the whole time until now he spoke up, much to hotohori's dismay,

"Well your highness," "there go's the peace a quiet," hotohori only could *sigh*, "but they are still late," "Bella my love be careful," until the flash of bright red light showed up,

"Is that them?" Asked chiriko,

"Let's hope so!" Said nuriko, until the light died down a pile of bodies and complaining people,

"GET THE HELL OFF ME MARCUS!" Yelled caius,

"Oh dear me that was unpleasant," "wasn't it," said aro,

after that he called the servants in to take their luggage to their room's, and filled them in on what's going on,

"Well we have faith that they would come back safe," "but let's just hope," said caius,

Meanwhile in kutou,

Miaka ran through the palace gardens, with tamahomes letter held to her chest where her heart was,

"she knew in her heart that if she saw him again," "that it would be different," "she just have to see him,"

"Miaka!" "Get your pea brain ass back here!"

Miaka looked over her shoulder only to see bella running after her, Bella's arm was bleed like crazy, and her face showed how much pain she was in, miaka stopped and turned to her cousin,

"Bella go find chichiri and tasuki," "you need mistukake to look at your arm," Bella kept on running to she reached her cousin, and slapped her for her stupidity,

"You stupid girl!" "I'm not leaving my family to face danger alone!" "Plus I can't let tamahome get away with this," "now can I!"

While pointing out her wound, and forced a smile on her face for he cousin,miaka looked at her cousin like she was crazy, but her cousin was way ahead of her,

"Hey!" "Wait up Bella!"

Bella growled out her displasure, Bella knew tamahome was either drugged or brain washed,Bella eyes flashed red,

Bella saw the tree as they made their way to it,"bella felt tamahome coming closer to where they are at," "oh she is going to enjoy kicking his ass," as she leaned against the tree,

"Let the games begin you stupid turd goblin,"

To be continued,
