meanwhile back on the boat,
"Oh thank goodness our guys are ok!" Chiriko spoke cheerfully,
"It was quite difficult to find you out there," "no da!"
"Yo!" "Princess you look hot wet!" Bella jumped out of hotohoirs arms and grabbed tasuki's jacket and started to strangle him,
"DAMN YOU!" "YOU DAMNED PERVERT!" As miaka went over to nuriko,
"Thank you nuriko for everything," As memory flashed acrossed nuriko mind, as he stuck his nose up in the air,
"I only said all that to keep Bella cheerful inside the cave," "no big deal really," as chiriko walked over to the window where Alice and rose was standing looking out,
Meanwhile with yui,
"Are you really sure that we will get their before the others?" As nakago road his horse next to yui's carriage,
"We have already struck them down," "the priestess of suzaku isn't even that powerful,"
meanwhile back on the ship,
"Ahhhhhh!"
"What was that?" Miaka asked out of fear,
"Looks like the ship as been struck by lighting!" As nuriko and Bella clung together,
"That's count's sinking right?" As Alice and rose joined in the freaking out,
"Oh hell!" "Where going to be titanic in Japan!" "I don't want to be sunk under in a ship," as Alice and rose clung to nuriko and Bella,
"Everyone get down there a huge cliff straight ahead," chiriko warned everyone,
"Damn you Alice you jinxed us!" "Now we are going to be titanic!" And well started to have a panic attack, as the ship hit the the cliff, everyone fell over,
"GET OFF OF ME TASUKI!" "YOU PERVERT!" As Bella kicked him off of her,
"OH WE WOULD BE ALL DEAD BY NOW IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT CLIFF!" "AND MY DEAR PRINCESS SAVING ME!" As Bella got up,
"DAMN YOU PERVERT!" "YOU HAVE A HUGE MOUTH ON YOU!"
"I think we all should check out the ship,"
as everyone ran up on to the deck of the ship, Bella had tokajin on her back, as they saw a black clad figure on the edge of the ship,
"Who are you?" Miaka asked out of confusion,
"Well I'm shocked to see what you made it this far," "but now this is the end of your journey right now," as soi raised her hand and made the lightning come at her will, and made a huge explosion,
"Miaka!"
"That was close," miaka hid behind her soul bonded father,
"Well you dodged that well," "priestess of suzaku," "and I see you have new friend's with you,"
"That lighting that struck?" "You control it?" Bella asked out of annoyance,
"I am a warrior of the sairyuu seven!" "Soi!" "Priestess of suzaku," "you will never reach the Hokkan empire even with the Amount of power and people you have," As she took he cloak off,
"You a warrior!" "But you are a woman?" Soi looked at the stupid girl,
"I will destroy you all," "with one fatal blow!" As soi raised her hand again to call the lightning to her again,
"Miaka stay back!" "This bitch need a good ass kicking!"
As sling directed her power at them, hitting tasuki and tamahome, the lightning covered everyone who wasn't the power of suzaku,
"Watch as I kill you stupid little priestess," as Bella came forth with tokajin as the lightning was about to strike again,
"No Bella don't!" Just about when the lightning about to hit Bella yelled out,
"Dragon strike!"
As the powerful lighting pushed back the power of seiryuu, everyone started to look at each other, noticed that they are free, As soi started to get back up,
"WATCH OUT PRINCESS!"
"My angel!" As hotohori. Got up and ran strait to his wife,and grabbed her in a embrace,
"Don't you scare me like that ever again!" "Please!" "I was so worried about you my love!" "I nearly lost you to the sea!" "I won't lose you to that what ever you call her," Bella only could hold her husband back,
"I'm sorry my love," "I didn't mean to," "I'm the only one who had the power to fight back with lighting," as the others watched on in jealousy,
"Well look's like princess kicked ass again," "and shame that should be me!" Nuriko and chichiri, and now mistukake agreed,
"Yeah Bella you did well!" Nuriko broke out of his jealous musing,
"Oh that's right," "you guy's never seen the power of tokajin," "it's another sword that was passed down to me," "I was trained to use it if I ever had to use it," "and the *dragon strike* is the most powerful attack," as Bella looked at tokajin, as hotohori held his wife from behind,
"Oh what the hell," "let's move or we be titanic's for good," as hotohori and Bella went for cover as did the vampires, until they over heard chiriko shout out happily,
"That's hokkan!"
"Are you sure chiriko?" Asked tasuki confused, as everyone else came out to look, Bella spoke up,
"all the lighting and my dragon strike must of opened a passage way," "oh just love a good short cut," "thank you fluffy!" As Bella hugged her husband happily and whispered dirty things to him,
"Great now we all can make our way into Hokkan now!" Miaka spoke happily,
meanwhile a little while later,
"Hey miaka are you ok?" Bella asked from her spot on her husbands back,
"Yeah I'm fine why do you ask?" As they stopped at the top of the hill, miaka look on in excitement.
"Oh wow!" "It's a meadow," "and Lookie keiskie and Bella," "there so many cute fluffy sheep!" Bella and the rest of the family sweat dropped at her air headnes,
"Well of course it's they are fluffy dear cousin," "it's bloody cold here as Bella snuggled more into the jacket that was given to her,"
"I CAN KEEP YOU WARM PRINCESS," "REAL WARM!" Until aro smacked tasuki acrossed the head,
"Stop talking about my daughter is such a rude war you bandit!" Aro and carlilse glared at tasuki,
"Yes I'll be keeping my angel warm!" As hotohori smiled at his wife,
"So how do you think we should go from here?" Mistukake ask,While holding tama and dios,
"I'm not to sure now on this one," "this country is three times larger than konan," "no da,"
"Then how the hell are we supposed to find the shinzaho if we dont know where we are going!" Tamahome yelled out annoyed,
until they saw a young boy was on horse that was out of control, as Bella spouted her wings and went over the horse,
"He's going to fall," as Bella got the young boy,
"Beeeelllllaaa!" Everyone yelled out of concern, as the horse was about to stomp Bella into the ground, and landed right on her,
"Ochie!" As Bella face laying in the dirt with the boy protected,
"My angel!" "Are you ok!" As hotohori picked his angel up with the young boy, sulpisha took the boy in her arms,
"Oh is the pretty angel ok?" The young boy looked up at sulpisha and emse,
meanwhile at the boys village
"Oh bless you my lady!" "You saved my son life," "how can I ever repay you for your services," tamahome yelled in the back
"How about some money," miaka smacked him,
"Well we have no place to stay around here," "it would be a huge help if you would aloud our group to stay here,"
"Yes of course," "you may stay," "I would love to hear of your travels,"
"Wow," "it so great," "it taste yummy like yogurt," as miaka pigged out, as the vampires just added blood to there food so they won't be rude to the people who putting them up,
"I never tasted nothing like this before," nuriko blurted out,
"Neither have I," "maybe close," "Russian food," Bella spoke up,
"Travelers we have brought our village elder to meet you,"
as a old man walked in to the tent to meet them, Bella thought he reminded her of a male kaeed,
"I am called tomoru," "the high elder of this village,"
"Well nice to meet you," everyone spoke up, as the little boy started to climb on Bella,
"hello pretty angel,"
"So you have come from konan," "to seek the shinzaho?"
"Yes sir that is right?" "Do you know anything about it?"
"Maybe I do," "remember this is a legend I heard from my grandfather," "supposedly some 200 years ago the priestess of genbu came from another world," "at that same time in history," "kutou started to expand wildly and started to target this country and started to attack," "but the priestess of genbu and the genbu seven gathered together and saved Hokkan for all time," as miaka thought to her self,
"the priestess of genbu and the genbu seven," "and they already have appeared in this world 200 years ago," "we have the priestess of byakko with us but that is a different story," "that means there was other's before me and yui and Bella," "well of course there was because Bella is the daughter of the priestess of byakko," as Bella just looked at her cousin in concern while she held the boy,
"So your saying the priestess summoned the beast god genbu?"
"Supposedly," "genbu created a treasure the shinzaho that he passed down to us," as the guy's sat next to his spoke up,
"Hey elder that not correct!" "I heard from my wife's uncle," "that the shinzaho is a small jewel that genbu is sealed inside of it," until Another guy spoke up,
"No," "no," "no," "I heard from my mothers brother friend," "that the priestess of genbu made the shinzaho out of the hair of the genbu seven," "and that it has great magical powers," as the elder spoke up angrily,
"Are you daring to call my grandfather a lier?" "Young man?"
"Well I think the shinzaho is a piece of genbu shell that he left behind," as the other guy got up angrily,
"Hey!" "That was not what you said a few minutes ago!"
As everyone I'm the room gave the bickering genbu villagers a dead Pan look, until the elder spoke up again,
"But in any case if you go through the central region of toma," "I'm sure you would discover and find the shinzaho," as miaka got lost in her thoughts again,
"oh great it been done before," "maybe this will work out after all," after the meeting with the elder everyone went to explore the village,
With hotohori and bella,
"The star's a so beautiful here," as Bella and hotohori cuddled under the stars, as the other couples did the same,
"I know my dear," "try not to be to reckless while we are this mission," "every time I watch you do something reckless even though is a turn on," "i get worried," bella only snuggled closer to her husband,
"I'll try my best my dearest,"
"Let's go to bed it's been a long day and our activates tier both of us," hotohori winked at his wife as he put her over his shoulder and ran back in to the hut,
meanwhile with yui
"Lady yui I brought you some hot tea for you," as suboshi came in to see yui curled up in a blanket to keep warm,
"Thank you suboshi," "it really dose be cold out here," yui asked,
"Yes it seems like its greeting colder by the minute,"
"Where nakago?"
"I don't know," "but I heard that soi came back to camp late yesterday," "and from what I hear that she had failed to kill any of them," "that the shikon miko used some odd attack,"
"What is our next strategy," "and where are we going next,"
"Oh I see," "I will call him for you,"
meanwhile with nakago and soi,
"Forgive me nakago," "that filthy beast used a strange attack on me," "I didn't expect that beast to out do me," "and have others with me," as soi hovered over nakago,
"Don't worry about it," "you was warned about the shikon miko," "i'll give you another chance to prove yourself to me," "just stay away for the shikon miko," nakago spoke harshly,
"But the weather hear is just to harsh for me," "its a weakness for me," "please forgive me," "and not being more useful,"
"Oh geez," "all yui talks about is nakago," "what so great about him," "nakago this nakago that," "geez," "the shikon miko would't talk about him she hate's the bastard," "I can be useful to you know," "and would like to be seen,"
"lord nakago sir," "I'm coming in," "oh hell!" "Oh I'm soooo sorry sir!" "The lady yui wished to speak with you right away!" "About what you wished to do next!" "About the plan!" "Not what you are doing in there!"
"Tell her I'll be there soon as I can," "I have to get dressed," "and soi isnt feeling to well," "so we will be using ashtari in her place," "oh suboshi I see you have fallen for the shikon miko as well,"
"Well I can't help it she remind me of myself," "but who is this ashtari?"
Meanwhile back in the village
Miaka walked outside to see what everyone was doing its been a day since they have arrived in hokan,
"Geez it's to cold out here," "where is bella at you guys,"
"Princess took off with his highness and aro and carlilse and esme," "with that nasty little brat," as miaka creeped next to her aunt and rose and alice,,
"Wants wrong with tasuki?"
"Well my dear little one," "tasuki face freaked the little one so bad the kid started to cry and ran away," "it was to amusing you should seen it," as miaka and her aunt started to laugh,
"How could that little brat find me that scary!" "You vampire!" "As sulpisha and athenadora was trying to chill out tasuki,
"I saw the four of them go into the woods miaka,"
as nuriko came out with blankets with jasper, tamahome went to bed for the night after being knocked out by Bella for being rude,
"Nuriko?"
"Bring the blankets with you," "Alice and jasper will go along with you as well,"
"Oh that is a wonderful idea," "Bella is probably cold," as miaka and jasper and Alice took off to go find Bella and the others,
"Come on little one there is nothing to be afraid of," "you have to hang on tighter," "don't you wish to ride the horse like a proper gentlemen?"
"I can't," "I can't do it," Bella put her fist on her hips and lectured the boy,
"a man can't ride a horse properly," "a pretty young lady wouldn't like him!" As Bella winked at him,
"No way!" "I'll learn how to ride the mean old horse!" "To find a pretty lady just as pretty like you mrs bella!" As Bella leaned down to the young boys eye level,
"That good," "that's the spirit little one!" Bella tweaked the boys nose and smiled at him,
"Oh Bella," "hotohori," "uncle aro," "uncle carlilse," they all turned to see miaka standing with blankets,
"Ok little one it's getting late," "I think it's time for your bed time," the young boy nodded and took the horse with him,
"See you later mrs Bella," as he waved and walked away,
"Oh ok see you little one," and they waved her away,
"Wow," "you be a wonderful mother Bella," "even with shippo and shiori and rin you are wonderful," hotohori walked up behind his wife and placed the Blanket around her, as aro and carlilse walked back with jasper and alice,
"Well why do you think I'm so protective always of you," "dear cousin,"
"I'm no kid no more Bella," miaka glared at her cousin,
"Well she is going to be a fine mother to our children," "when we given shippo and shiori and rin siblings," hotohori said, as he kissed Bella's cheek,
"Well your like a little sister to me," "you always have," "that's why I always protected you when we where kids,"
"Oh I see," "well Bella I don't need it no more," as miaka stuck her nose up in the air,
"Well you will always will have me protect you miaka," "so don't try to act all tough," as Bella smiled at her cousin,
"Well that's right!" "You always will," as miaka smiled back to her cousin and her cousin inlaw,
"After you summon suzaku miaka," "I wish you to be happy," "with tamahome that what I wish for you," "well I mean we already welcomed him into our family in all,"
"I want to be with tamahome," "but would it happen?"
"I know you do my dear cousin," "if the fates wish it then it will happen," "but the question in which world," "even though the portal will remain open," "you can choose either world to live in," "but that's enough of that lets all go to bed for the night," after that was said miaka went to here tent and Bella went to hers with hotohori,
meanwhile the fallowing morning,
Everyone was getting their horses ready, well in Bella and hotohori's case dios,
"Well first and foremost," "I was happy that I could meet the shikion miko before I died," "and take good care of yourselves as well," "as well the two of you your majasty's," "I know you the empress and emperor of konan," "but I'm still happy to meet the shikkon miko," "your secret's are with me while your in our lands,''
"Thank you for keeping that for them," "and we will," miaka spoke cheerfully,
"Mrs Bella?" As the little kid ran up to Bella,
"Hey there little one!"
"I promised you I will learn how to ride a horse I know I will," "then I can over to your country and see you and mister hotohori," as Bella kneeled down to little one,"
"I'll keep that promise then," "now no tears little one," "we will meet again," as Bella tweaked his nose, as Bella used her power to make a heart for him,
"Now keep that close to you," "whenever your afraid it will give you comfort," "and it will play a song for you," as Bella smiled at the boy and sang a little,
"Once it has spoken"
"Love is yours"
"Love never dies"
"Love never alters"
"Hearts may get broken"
"Love endures"
"Hearts may get broken"
"Love never dies"
"Love will continue"
"Love keeps on beating When you're gone"
"Love never dies"
"Once it is in you"
"Life may be fleeting"
"Love lives on"
"Life may be fleeting"
"Love lives on"
As she finished the song the boy hugged her, as Bella continued to help her husband to get their weapons together, as the boy turned to tasuki,
Tasuki stopped what he was doing, his heart felt light from Bella's song, as he saw the boy looking at him ,
"Bye bye mister scary face," "don't scar to many kids ok!" as the boy waved at him,
Bella started to laugh her head off along with Alice and nuriko and emitt, As tasuki waved at the boy,
"This evil brat will not shut up about my face," as everyone road off or flew off,
"Bye come back and see us!" "Bye bye!" As the kid waved everyone good bye,
"Where almost there," "we must find the shinzaho," "I'm sure yui is there as well," "I made a promise to Bella and hotohori that I will be happy with tamahome after I summon suzaku,"
meanwhile with nakago,
"It's your turn ashtari," as nakago whipped the monsters warrior, while yui and suboshi road on to the next town,
"Lady yui," "and suboshi had already left for torreon," "this is the land of your ancestors isn't it?" "You will know how to find the priestess of suzaku," "leave the priestess of the shikon Alone," "with that beta strength of your's," "you will destroy her,"
Meanwhile in torreon,
"Sooo," "this is torreon?" Tamahome asked,
"Yeah we finally made it here,"
"Burr it's still cold here," chiriko remarked,
"It's snowing!"
Miaka and Bella shouted out, even the vampires where excited about it,
"Wow you never get to see snow back home in konan do we," nuriko spoke up,
"No we don't so it a treat for us all," hotohori spoke up,
"Where we come from it snows a lot during the winter times,"
Bella said cheerfully,as a memory flashed arcrossed her mind when her and her father was last in the snow, Bella smiled sadly,
"Are you ok angel?" Hotohori spoke out of concern,
"Yes I just remember the last time when I was with my real father was when it snowed," aro spoke up,
"Don't worry little one," "he lead us to you," Bella looked at him,
"Thank you daddy aro," aro smiled happy,
"that's right bella," said esme, carlilse only nodded,
meanwhile inside of a tavern
Hotohori laid the map out that was given to them
"Now them where should we go next," as Bella sat in his lap he didn't want her sit anywhere else,
"Well right now we are at the city gates," "no da," "we should split up and search for clues about the shinzaho," "no da," "well since chiriko is a kid I'll team up with him," "no da,"
"My pleasure," chiriko bowed his head,
"Tasuki is such a hot head so mistukake should tag along with him," "no da,"
"Why can't I have princess instead," he was hushed up when a fork hit him in the head,
"Ouch," "what was that for," hotohori only glared at him,
"Bella will be teaming up with hotohori along with aro and sulpisha suzeno and carlilse and esme," "and caius and athenadora and rose and emitte will team up with you mistukake and tasuki," "as jasper and Alice will come along with us," "no da,"
"And I should go with miaka," with her brother and soul bonded brother and her brothers mate,
"What about nuriko?"
"I prefer to go with miaka and tamahome," "and since Bella won't be with you I'll have to protect you in her place," until a fat ugly drunk man walked over to at the bar,
"Hey there baby girl," "your one fine sexy girl," "oh my your one hot bitch," "hey what about me and you have a drink," until Bella flipped the fat ass over on his back before his husband could get to him,
"Oh I'm sorry pervert!" "I'm married and I don't touch fat slobs like you!" As hotohori walked up behind his wife, until tasuki had to open his drunk mouth,
"Hey princess," "let me have a good time with you!"
As hotohori punched tasuki at the same time aro did,as tasuki recovered from his beating,
"Geez look all the rednecks around this place," tasuki said sacristy
"Yeah I know," "over eight females," "causing this much excitement," "we won't get no where with a bunch of hassles along the way," nuriko exploded,
"Yeah" "yeah," "I know it because I look like a chick," "and mix in with the other chicks with us,"
as nuriko took Bella's sword and chopped his blade, everyone got freaked out at what nuriko just did, everyone looked on in shock, bella was about to pass out dramatically,
"Oh Lordy Lordy!" "What a waist!" "Nuriko why did you ever do that!" "You giving acting like a cross dresser?"
"Oh it's ok," "what is done its done," "I don't feel the need to do the cross dressing act anylonger," "oh besides I can't have this main of hair flapping all over the place while fighting the seiryuu seven,"
"Yeah those stupid evil cock sucking seiryuu seven," Bella growled out,
"The biggest problem is how will we stay in touch with each other while we are out looking for the shinzaho," "if I use any of my magic the seiryuu seven would find us," "no da,"
"Yeah that the down side of the whole this." "It's tricky," as Bella popped up with a idea,
"Hey princess don't do that!" "Your being dramatic!" "And it a damn turn on!" Bella slapped him,
"Shut it pervert,"
"What's your idea Bella,"
"It's these!" "I made them myself,"
"Fireworks?" Bella smacked tamahome,
"No your idiot," "there signal flairs in know how the make them," "but mine are special," "since we can't use cell phone here," "so once someone figures out about something about the shinzaho," "just light one of theses babies and let it go!" "They will be seen anywhere your at,"
meanwhile a little while later,
Miaka turned around at the sound she over heard,
"What was that?" "What makes a sound like that other than a angry Bella,"
"A wild dog," tamahome guessed, the vampires started to sniff around,until keiuske spoke up,
"Hey hey look At this miaka," "there is a picture of genbu on it," "you think it might give us a clue about the shinzaho somehow?"
"What is all that," "those characters look like worm tracks," tamahome asked out of confusion, as miaka started to look around as saw a older lady,
"Oh excuse me," "may you please read this for us please,"
"Oh this," "I can't read this," "this is ancient language," "they stopped using 200 years ago,"
"A ancient language?"
"The only people who can read it now is the people who learn it in schoolers," until someone spoke up,
"I know someone who can read it," a man with a sword at his side spoke up,
"Are you guys all travelers on out proud country?"
"Do you really know who can read this?"
"Yes my father knows how to," "I'll take you to him right now," "come along fallow me,"
"Come on you guys!" As the old lady grabbed miakas jacket,
"Hold it!" "I wouldn't if I was you," "that man is a well know bandit," it true that his father was a scoller at on time," "but now he has fallen on some hard times,"
"So don't come if you don't wish,"
"I'll go with him," "miaka you stay here with nuriko and the other's and wait until I get back,"
"I am going to," miaka reached out to tamahome,
"Nuriko take care of her please,"
"Ya got it!" As tamahome fallowed the guy to where his father was,
"I hope he will be ok," the older lady spoke out of concern,as they watched tamahome walk away,
To be continue
