A broken heart, and saving one from ones self,

In Bella's inner world,

"So you don't know what it is that brain washed tamahome?'' Asked Bella,

"No," "it's hard to say," "but we are trying to find out," said midariko,

"Thank's a lot for the help!" "And as well the energy boost,"

"Oh your welcome," "my child," "but we must send you back," "they seem to have trouble controlling your husband," said byakko,with a flash of light Bella was sent back,

Out of Bella's inner world,

Bella open her eyes slowly, and tried to roll over, but her hand was being held, she looked over to the person who was holding her hand, Bella smiled at the sight that met her,mistukake and carlilse spoke and broke her out of her thought's,

"How are you feeling?" "Bella?" asked carlilise,

yes how are you feeling? asked mistukake,

"I feel like I been to hell and back," "but I had worst," "and it's nice to see you again carlilse," Bella smiled,

"Is there any new news on tamahome?"

"Yes," "I think it's a internal brainwashing," "and I think it's under the influence of kodoku," "as well a spell has been placed on him," "if that is so I can't not heal him,"

Bella slumped her shoulders, and *sighed*,

"what is she going to do," "ever since they been transported back she been in her inner world the whole time," after carlilse finished her bandages, mistukake spoke again,

"I have healed your serious wound's," "and some of your power has been working as well,"

"but you will be like uncomfortable for a few more days or maybe less," "you received a real bad beating I'm shocked your still alive," spoke carlilse in his fatherly tone, Bellas smile fell as she remembered,

"yes I did," "but it take's more than that to kill me," 'but tamahome was a good fight," "but how is miaka and tasuki?"

Mistukake and carlilse gave her a sad smile,

"we have already attended to tasuki," "he had received less serious wounds," mistukake smile fell and his face turned sad,

"mistukake, carlilse what happen to my cousin?"

"She only suffered a broken arm,"

"I healed that," "but I can't heal her broken heart,"

"and he been with you the whole time," "your love give people hope," "and our family is in with her," "after everyone took turn's hunting,

until Bella felt the grip on her hand tighten, hotohori's hazel eyes open slowly, he lifted his head and looked around and them he finally realized,

"Bella?"

"Yes dearest heart," "I'm awake," "and alive,"

Bella smiled down to her husband,

"Oh thank suzaku," "my angel!" Hotohori got up and hugged his wife,and cried into her hair,

"I thought I lost you," "you been asleep for four days," "my love," bella hugged him back,

"I'll shall take my leave," said mistukake,

"i'm happy for you bella," "even after what edward has done," "and all you have lost," "you have the love of your life," "and our family is complete," thought carlilise, as she fallowed mistukake out the door,

"It's ok," "I'm hear my love," "I'll never leave you," hotohori stopped crying and he kissed his wife passionately, He released her for air,

"Oh i missed you," "and how I worried i was,"

Bella gave her husband a soft smile and patted the space behind her,he got her his wife and the stayed in each others present's,

meamwhile In hotohori and Bella's chambers

"How is my dear cousin?"

Hotohori had his arms around bella waist, Bella's back was against his chest,he position his angel so she won't hurt her wounds, hotohori leg out a long *sigh*,

"what I heard from caius," "that she is fine physically," "she only had a broken arm," "from carlilse," Bella nodded, and asked,

"how about emotionally?"

Athenadora and sulpisha and esme and rose said that she keeps saying she is fine," "but the could smell her lies coming off of her," bella only let out a *sigh*,

"Yes I imagen," "tamahome did a lot of damage," "and tamaric injury to her heart," "we just need to keep a eye on her so she don't do anything stupid,"

"What do you ever mean my angel?" Bella *sighed*,

"a broken heart and traumatic events isn't something to play with," "broken people will fine different way's to numb their pain and suffering," "and sometime's it's not the best way's to go," "and not the most logical or healthy ways to go about them," Hotohori frowned at his wife's words,

"how do you know this how?"

Bella closed her eyes and tried to push the memory's back, as a tear slid from her eye, she nuzzles her head into her husbands muscled chest,

"because one of the lost and broken people was me," Anger flashed in hotohori's eyes,

"what all happened to you that made you suffer so?" "And who was he?"

"I think it is time you know the whole story," "don't judge me my love,"

"I moved to forked Washington after my mother got married and her husband was a baseball player," "so I moved back with my father," "once I got to the school I was going to," "I met the Cullen's," "and so the only single one who was in the family," "Edward,"

"he started to play with my head," "at the time I didn't realize it," "but once I found out that he was a vampire we started to go out," I met his family they adopted me into the family right then and there,"

"anyways after a game of baseball there where no mads so one when on a rampage and they killed him hints the bite mark on my arm," "so his mate went crazy," "on my birthday I cut my finger, and the only one's went crazy was edward,"

"the fallowing day he took me to the wood's and said we needed to talk," "once he got me there," "he told me I was a worstless and useless human," "and I wouldn't be worth nothing in my life," "and I deserved go die," "that I was a filthy bitch and that he used me,"

"after he said that he flashed and I got pinned to the ground and he ripped my clothes off," "and started to rape me," "he only got as far as his fingers when Jacob came and saved me," "edward killed jake and so i ran back home after he flashed away, "

when i got back home that's when i saw the red head," "the mate of the no mad killed my father mother and step father," "that's whe I first became num," "I starte to cut my self and other thing,"

"when I moved to kagome's," "she took me to the federal era," "and she told me about my miko powers," "then that's when I met sesshomaru he took me in as his sister," "we had the blood bond and so on he trained me," "and when nuraku was defeated I lost my love ones again," "then I found out I was midarikos incarnation and the true protecter of the jewel,"

"when I went back home the red head killed kagomes family," "my rage burste out I turned her to ash," "then I went to the yuukis," "my numbness stayed to myself," "it just got worst when miaka mother treated me like trash," "once I got here I felt someone happy," "then you came along you healed my heart," "and my full family is together," "and I loved again,"

Hotohori's eyes turned more darker after that story since he knows the whole story,

"It's over dearest no worry,"

"I know it don't change the fact the ass hurt you,"

"I know my love,"

meanwhile in kutou,

"Ouch!"

"Oh," "are you ok tamahome?"

Yui asked out of concern,one of her hands held a wet cloth, and the other hand held tamahome chin to steady it, Tamahome hissed out in pain,

"yes I'm ok," "these scratche's are not that bad," "really,"

Yui went over to the wash basin and rinced it, Tamahome punched his palm,

"just a few more minute's," "I would of killed Bella and tasuki," Yui looked away,

"even if you killed Bella and chichiri and tasuki," "you wouldn't have wanted to kill miaka though," tamahome looked at her in confusion,

"What are you talking about yui?"

"It's true," "well at the time maybe," "with all the crying in all," "huh?" "It was because miaka was leaving you wasn't it?" With out another word tamahome grabbed yui and pinned her on the bed,

"Tamahome what are you doing ?"

"Remember I told you I only belong to you," "and only you,"

Yui blushed bright red at tamahome confession to her, until his lips claimed hers,oh how long she had waited for him to do this, yui turned her neck to give him access to it,

"It is true tamahome belongs to me now," "but this tamahome is,"

Tamahome raised his head to look at yui, when he was about to lean in for Another kiss, he heard her voice in his head,

"goodbye... Goodbye..."

Tamahome,miakas face flashed in tamahomes head, he got up and turned away from yui, Yui propped herself up, confused why he stopped what he was doing,before she could even speak, tamahome walked away, and said,

"I'm sorry yui," before leaving the room,

Oddly enough yui was happy to see him leave,

meanwhile with tamahome

Tamahome stood outside his room, clutching miakas ribbon's, he growled out in annoyance,

"Why do I keep getting that girl in my mind," "I have to kill her off right away," "I'll better go and find her,"

Meanwhile in konan,

Bella and hotohori was listening to the rain outside, they drifted into a comfortable silence after all the visitors came, Bella was reading a book,

while hotohori was reading it over her shoulder,then Bella snapped her book shut, and her eyes widen,"something is wrong,"

Bella got out of her husbands arms, as she started to look around and sniffed around, Hotohori looked at his wife in confusion,

"what going on Bella," "do you sense something?" "Smell something?" Her golden eyes narrows,

"it's miaka,"

Just as those word's left her mouth, nuriko and demitry came running in, nuriko has a note in his hands,

"your majesty's," "miaka is gone," "we cant find her anywhere,"

"Oh hell no you didn't!"

Bella flashed out of them room, didn't even bother to hear nothing more to chance after her cousin,hotohori yelled after his wife,

"Are you sure miaka as disappeared,"

"Yes she has!" "I have this note here," demtry handed the note over,

Hotohori looked at the note,

"Goodbye!"

Nuriko yelped at the emperors look on his face, before he dashed out of the room after Bella, Bella words echoed in his mind,

"a broken heart and traumatic events isn't something to play with," "broken people will fine different ways to numb their pain and suffering," "and sometimes it's not the best ways to go," "and not the most logical or healthy ways to go about them,"

Miaka dont do anything stupid for his wife's sake,

meanwhile with Bella,

"MIAKA!"

Ignoring the stinging of the harshness of the rain,Bella continued to scan the whole area,

"MIAKA WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!"

Bella looked around and scanned more places that a threat,Trying to find where her stupid cousin has gone,she already neared the river, and twisted around,

"please no!"

Bella flashed to the waves, praying to the Kami's, hoping that her cousin is not there, As the sound of the waves got louder, she say a vision of miaka walking into the river,

"miaka!" "Miaka!" "No!"

Bella made her sore and pained body reach out to her cousin to make her stop,But she was to late, miaka was takin by the waves, Bella slipped on a wet rock and fell on to the river bank,

"damn it to hell," "I guess you never can get rid of the clumsiness," Bella cursed her luck and she dived into the river,

Hotohori came in time to see his wife dive into the river,he to dived in after her, Ignoring the stinging of the cold water, he was looking for his wife and miaka,he spotted them when he saw Bella slashing sea weed from her cousin foot, worried , he quickly ran towards them,

Finally reaching Bella and miaka, he took miaka unconscious form in his arms, while Bella slash the sea weed, Bella couldn't hold her breath much longer the water pressure was getting to much for her, her body was in pain, and her body is starting to fail her,

Hotohori notice his wife's struggles, he grabbed her arm, he tryed to get the three back up to the surface,miaka came free and the three of them swan up,As they reached the surface, a huge wave crashed over them,sending them back underwater,

Hotohori held miaka into his arms, while he had Bella hand in his,Bella was starting to go limp, hotohori was starting to get concern about his wife's limpness, he closed his eyes, and started to prey to suzaku,when he felt his wife let go of his hand, he opened his eyes, he saw she gave him a sad smile, he realized what she was doing, he tried to grab her, but it was no use,

Bella used her last ounce of her strength to push them to safety,hotohori watched in horror, as his wife's unconscious body was swept away in a huge wave, Closing his eyes, hotohori called out his wife's name,

"Bella!"

The mark of suzaku glowed brighter on his neck, and him and miaka was surounded by a read sphere,

With chichiri nuriko chiriko, mistukake and the voltori and others,

"Wow!" "What is that?" Asked Alice,

everyone looked up to see the bright red sphere,sensing it was suzakus energy, the warriors and everyone else ran to it,

They all skidded to a stop when they reached the river bank,the red sphere was making its way to the middle of the bank, and it was making the water ripple violently,when it finally died down,it revealed hotohori with a unconscious miaka in his arms, Nuriko and caius was the first ones over to them,

"is miaka ok?" Chichiri and the others fallowed right behind them,

"She will be fine she has a normal heart beat," "she just unconscious," said carlilse,

hotohori only nodded once and handed miaka over to caius,Then aro spoke up,

"Where is my little one?" "My isabella?" Then Marcus came up beside him,

"Yes I would like to know that as well," nuriko started to look around,

"they are right, where is she your highness?"

He was cut off by hotohori walking back to the River bank, everyone looked at him in confusion,

"What's wrong?" "Your highness?"

"I have to go back in," "Bella is still alive in there," "I can't lose her!" Everyone doggy piled on him,

"Let me go right now," "release me," "right now!" Then suzuno spoke up,

"Look you guys," "it's midariko and byakko,"

everyone looked up and at the sight they saw, hitched their breath, Bella looked more ethereal more than ever, with midariko and byakko on each end of her floating body,as they landed in front of the group,they lowered Bella to the ground, and spoke,

"It's nice to see you again," Feeling the same, as they bowed in respect,

"No need to do that," "we are all allies," "and well some are family," "But we shall be going now," "we saved the one we care for," "and we must returned to the inner world of Bella," "Farewell,"

Everyone ran up to Bella, after they released hotohori from there hold, hotohori took his angel in his arms,

"Oh thank suzaku," "your ok," "and thank suzaku for those two," "let's go home you guys," as she held on to his wife and carried her to the palace,
