Chapter 23

Sadness of ones heart and fighting for family,

At the boarder of konan borders,

Rain poured continually, as a black figure stepped on muddy cliff, over looking the city of konan,

'So," "this is the capital of konan," "hm?" Tamahome smirked evilly,

"I'm coming for you priestess of suzaku!" "And Bella," "this time your going to die," lighting flashed behind him made his evil look more evil,

"Prepare for your deaths," "Hahahahaha!"

meanwhile in konan palace,

After the events from yesterday the two girls have not awaken, they moved miaka to lay with her cousin, inside of Bella's and hotohori's chambers, hotohori hasn't left Bella's side ever since,

Can't Believe miaka pulled something like this," said Kesuke,

"Yes but what could we have done," "Bella went after her," said carlilise,

"and thank haven's for her," "she saved her," "along with hotohori," said esme,

"We had a huge worry on out part about Bella," "we thought we lost her for awhile," sulpisha spoke sadly,

"Yes my dear," "I just glad byakko and midariko came in time to save our little one," plus "they wouldn't let her die they care to much about her," aro spoke sadly,

"he couldn't help but feel bad for his little one she has so much on her shoulders with miaka," "it's just really sad," caius even spoke his concerns on it,

"but they can't do nothing," "her demon nature is like their vampire nature," "she has to protect what is theirs," *sighing*, Aro was broke out of his thoughts when nuriko spoke up,

"Your highness?" hotohori looked over at his friend, and fellow warrior,

"Yes nuriko," "what is it,"

"Do you think they will be ok?"

"Yes I know my angel is going to be ok," "she is to strong willed," "but miaka I'm not sure on," hotohori looked down sadly at his cousin by marriage and priestess, and then to his wife, he kissed her forehead and rubbed her check,

"Princess knows what to do is right," "she the most bravest," "and loyal and fistey," "I was proud to fight along side of her," "and damn she was one hot chick doing it," everyone on the room who didn't have those thoughts turned to tasuki and glared at him,

"Dose anyone want food," "or blood?" Asked a servant,

after the servant Spoke those words, miaka shot right up from her sleep, And knocked Bella out of the bed on top of her husband, not to mention she was nude,

"FOOOD!" "SOMEONE SAY FOOD!"

not realizing that she was nude, as everyone was looking with blush's on there faces, but only got deepend after they heard a growl and a more busty and filled out girl bonked her cousin on her head,

"DON'T YOU EVER STOP THINKING OF FOOD!" "GAH!" "YOU HAVE THE BIGGEST MOUTH I HAVE EVER KNOWN!" Bella yelled at her cousin and bonked her on the head a few more times, until her husband put his robe around her, Bella looked down at herself and blushed,,

"kuzo," all the men who where't family had to cover themselves,

"Hey!" "Princess!" "Sexy body!" Athenadora and alice smack tasuki in the head,

yeah nice rack bella! yelled emiit, as rose smacked his head for being a jerk, As Bella sat on her husbans lap after she got dressed, as he ran his fingers through her hair, miaka spoke up and broke the silence,

"What happened?" nuriko spoke up,

"Well you left a note and you went to the river," "then Bella went in after you to save you," "then his highness went in after you,"

"but we nearly lost Bella," "if it wasn't for midariko or byakko," said suzeno,

"Oh," "that's right," "why dose Bella keep doing this,"

"I'm sorry," "I'm sorry," "I don't mean for you to continue to get hurt,"

"Don't worry my dear cousin," "it what family dose for each other," Bella smiled at her cousin to make her feel better,

Meanwhile in kutou,

"WHAT?" "YOU LET TAMAHOME GO TO KONAN?" "WHY DID YOU LET HIM GO?" Yui turned to face nakago, Nakago replied to her, not even caring that the girl was depressed,

"he wished for a assignment," "so I gave him one," nakago smiked evilly,

"I was hoping he will kill all the suzaku seven," "even that emperor saihi," "better known as hotohori," "he is one of the suzaku seven," "and known as the husband of the priestess of the shikon now," "any barriers they have with now affect him since he mated with the shikon miko," "and he has the demon blood with in him," yui clinched her fist out of anger,

"Your lying to me!" "You had this plotted out from the vary beginning!" "Didn't you!" Nakagos blue eyes turned to yui,

"Lady yui," "your words wound me," nakago placed both of his hands on yui's shoulder's, as he continued,

"It was what you wished for," "don't you remember?" "I brought him here all for you," "just to make you happy," "lady yui,"

Yui glared at nakago, as she raised her right hand and slapped nakago acrossed the face,

"Do you really think all this is making me happy?"Disgusted with everything, yui turned on her heal and ran away, missing the evil smirk that nakago had on his face,

meanwhile back in konan,

Everyone was in a comfertable silence, Bella was reading a book with hotohori reading it from behind her, as tasuki and Marcus was discussing different topics, nuriko and emit was talking amung themselves, until a guard showed up at their door,

"Your highnesses!" "Their has been reports of a traitor inside the palace,"Bella's eyes narrowed,

"a traitor you say?"

"Yes your majesty!" "According to my men," "it is the suzaku warrior," "tamahome," Miaka *gasped,*

"oh no," "he is here to kill me," then Bella, she let out a yelp as she saw her cousin stand up, and grabbed her wrist,

"Bella?"

Bella glared at the door, as her eyes bleed red, making all the men in the room turn around so she could get dressed,

"demitry alice jasper," "take miaka somewhere and make sure she is safe," "am I understood," miaka started to struggle,

"Bella what are you going to do?" Miaka was silence by her red eyes, even though her cousins anger wasn't at her, she was still speechless,

Everyone looked at Bella in shock, she was never this angry, not even when they where in kutou, the air around her sparked of power, it seemed that Bella wasn't still happy with tamahome with braking her cousin heart, and the suicide top it off, with out another word she walked out of the room he hand held out, Bella was given one of her swords, miaka was nervous,

"Bella what are you going to do?" she only grew more restless against jasper as her cousin walked away,

"Bella!" "Wait!"

"I'm sorry my dearest cousin," "I can't forgive him right now," "he deserve's what I'm about to do," "no one hurts what is mine," "the suicide tops it off," "it dosnt matter even he was a friend," "he had the power to fight back," Everyone looked at each other,then hotohori asked,

"Is it really tamahome?"

"Yes sir," "my men saw him," "and they tried to take him down," "but it was no use,"

"Your dismissed,"

"Yes sir!"

"I have to help her!" As he was about to get up, aro stopped him,

"You can't help her," "she has to do this right now by herself," "it's her demonic nature," "it's like us," "something of our's has been harmed," "that person has to pay the price," "she would never rest until she made the fool that harmed what was hers," aro spoke seriously,hotohori looked down sadly,

"Ok but we might as well go and watch and see if we are needed,"after that was said, jasper picked up miaka put her inside a closet, and found something to block the door,

"Hey!" "What gives jasper!"

"Sorry miaka this is for your own safty," "and I wish to stay Alive," "don't worry Bella will have everything worked out," with that he was gone in a flash,miaka started to pound on the door,

"Let me out of here!" "Somebody!" "Let me out!"

meanwhile in the courtyard of the palace,

The rain beat heavy on the very one who looked on tamahomes dark form,they felt tamahome present's, it lead them to the courtyard of the palace, nuriko stopped in his tracks and rammed in to Marcus out of shock,

"Where is the bitch that you call priestess of suzaku?" Nuriko couldn't Believe what he was seeing,

"tamahome?" It was the truth, tamahome did turn his back against them, Tasuki stood between aro and caius,

"you have some nerve come here!" "You asshole!" Tamahome glared at the banged up tasuki,

"this dosent concern you," "so tell me where is the bitch that you call the priestess of suzaku?"

"TAMAHOME!" "YOUR DEAD!" Bella roared out with power,

Everyone turned around to see Bella pink energy crackling around her, as she walked down the stairs looking like a angel of death, ready to take tamahome to hell, suzuno look on her daughter with proudness and honor, Nuriko *gasped* at Bella,

"what are you going to do?" "Bella?"

Bella just ignored everyone, as she stared down the person she wants to have her revenge on, the pink crackling turned more into a Flame,

''MY COUSIN IS SAFE!" "WHICH SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT!" "BASTARD!" "I WILL NEVER LET YOU HURT HER NOR HARM HER NO MORE!"

The power anger and coldness in her voice made everyone shiver from it, showing she means business, nuriko knew that it would be a miracle if either will come out alive, because he known Bella will not back down,

"DEFEND YOURSELF!" Bella threw a sword at tamahome,

Tamahome glared down at Bella,

"you shouldn't of gave me a weapon,"

Bella ignore tamahome startment, and she went in for attack,

Tamahome dodged the attack and grabbed the sword, as bella went in for Another attack, both of their swords clanged together, as tamahome kicked balla in the stomach, she back flipped and flew right back at tamahome,

"TAMAHOME," "HAVE YOU REALLY FORGOTTEN WHO YOU REALLY ARE!" "AND YOUR LOVE FOR MIAKA!"

"NO YOU STUPID BITCH!" As he kicked Bella in her ribs, Hotohori and the other they watched the fight,

"We have to do something we can't let them continue to fight like this," nuriko spoke out of concern, caius spoke up this time,

"We can't stop them," "she can't stop," "she has to defend want is hers," "it's in her demonic nature," "we are the same way just as vampires," "if something of your's like family or love one's whatever got harmed," "the person has to pay for what they did," "and tamahome did a huge no no on his part," "drugged nor not," "it was him who did this wrong,"

Everyone who didn't understand nodded in understanding, Only hotohori only understood before the others,

meanwhile back with Bella and tamahome battle,

"Aaaaahhhhhh,"

Bella slashed tamahomes arm, and crouched on the ground, and pushed on her legs and went back after tamahome, tamahome jumped to try to get a slash on her, when he finally did he felt Victorious,

"GRRRRR," "DON'T GET TO SMUG BASTARD!" "YOU HAVEN'T WON YET!"

meanwhile with miaka

"LET ME OUT!" "SOMEBODY!"

"They will be killed,"

as she continued to bang on the door as two a fur ball fell on her face, miaka trying to pry in odd,

"Shippo?"

"Yup that's me!" Shiori and rin is on the other side of the door," "so do you wish to get out?" Miaka nodding vigorously,

"Hey shiori!" "rin!" "Open the door!"

"Okie!" After the door opened, miaka dashed off, shippo called out to her,

"Don't tell mama who let you out!" "Got it!" "Or we won't do it again!" "But tamahome dose deserve the ass kicking!"

meanwhile back with the fight,

As the swords clash in the rain, cuts on each other, Bella and tamahome jumped back,

At the same time they jump and raised their weapons, until a voice yelled out,

"TAMAHOME!"

As each other got impaled on each sword, Bella fell gracefully backwards and tamahome reached out,

"mi..a..ka,"

As both of there body's hit the ground, miaka yelled in horror,

"TAMAHOME!"

As miaka ran over to tamahome not even bothering to stop by her cousins body, which everyone glared at her about, as hotohori took his wife's body into his arms,

"Tamahome," "tamahome," "don't go!" "Don't go!" As she cried into his shoulder,

"Priestess of suzaku?,"

"Yes yes that's me!"

As tamahome tried to reach for his sword, miaka took it in her hands and put it in the man she loves hand,

"If you wish to kill me," "then kill me!" "I love you tamahome," as miaka leaned in to kiss tamahome on the lips, he raised the sword, to stab her,

"This scent," "the feel of her lips," "her heart beat," "it's all to familiar," As he was about to stab her, nuriko yelled out,

"No miaka!" "Don't!" That's when aro stoped him,

"Stop he coming back look," everyone looked at tamahome as his ogre symbol appeared on his forehead,

"Mi..a..ka?"

"Why are you crying?" As tamahome reached up to brush her tears away,

"I'm sorry," "I was late!" "I hope you could forgive me," miaka closed her eyes, and overlapped her hand over his,

"It's ok tamahome," "your back that's all that matters,"

"Mistukake can you go heal him?" Asked aro,

"Yes I will," as mistukake kneeled infront of tamahome he healed his wound as a bright light over took bella,

Tamahome this is mistukake, as everyone ran up to tamahome, even though a lot of them tamahome was confused about,

"Tamahome you back!" Nuriko yelled in joy,

as hotohori walked over with his wife's body in his arms, after her healing she passed out, everyone welcomed back tamahome, and wished him luck when Bella gets her hands on his again,

tamahome shivered at the thought, everyone introduce the newcomers and the family member that was there, tamahome looked on in confusion, and thought he will figure it out later,
