Kida: *Grins* Two chapters in one day! I'm so proud of myself!
Naruto: *Reads over newest chapter. Eyes widen* YOU PUT KURAMA IN HERE?!
Kida: SILENCIO! *Hits Naruto with a paper fan* Idiot, that was supposed to be a surprise! Taiitsukun! Do the disclaimer fast before Naruto blabs more spoilers!
Taiitsukun: Lady Kida Tenshi does not own Naruto or Fushigi Yuugi. She only owns Lady Aika Hitsubasa and any other future OCs.
Kida: Please enjoy, my beautiful readers!
Having learned that Lady Aika was Priestess of Suzaku, the Emperor of Kutou ordered her capture, but Tamahome intervened and saved her. Lady Yui, believe the Lady Aika had only returned to this world for Tamahome and not to rescue her, decided at last to become the Priestess of Seiryuu and locked Lady Aika inside the shrine. But once again, she was rescued.
"Aika, I'm here. Speak to me," Tamahome said worried.
"Tamahome…" Aika whispered before leaning against him.
"We are leaving, come on!" Tamahome shouted at Yui, holding his hand out to her. Yui just frowned. "Come on!"
"No, Priestess!" Nakago said standing in front of her. He then sent another attack to Tamahome and Aika until Chichiri blocked it again. And so, Lady Aika and Lady Yui were separated once more.

"The Priestess of Suzaku had fallen into a deep sleep and had dream after beautiful dream," Naruto read out loud, looking at the picture of the Priestess sleeping in a bed.
~0~
Aika slept in the bed as she dreamed of her moments with Yui and Naruto as children. All three laughed as they swung on the swings, only being five and nine years old.
"I'll race you two to Ichiraku's! Believe it!" Naruto grinned.
"You're so on!" Yui replied.
"On your mark, get set, go!" Aika shouted before they all took off running to the ramen shop. Time passed to when Naruto was thirteen and Yui and Aika were nine.
"Guess what. I'm going to become Hokage! Believe it!" Naruto grinned at the girls.
"I don't know…do you think you'll be able to handle it?" Yui asked him.
"Yeah, the Hokage gets a lot of paperwork and there's a lot responsibility," Aika stated
"Who cares?! I'm going to do it so everyone in this village will acknowledge my existence!" Naruto told them. The two girls smiled.
"In that case, we'll help you, Naruto!" Aika told him.
"Eh?!"
"Yeah! What would you do without us anyway?" Yui asked him. Naruto grinned.
"Yeah, the three of us working together will be perfect! Believe it!" Years passed and they were all walked through the village.
"So you're getting close to opening your own shop," Naruto smiled.
"Yup, and I have a partner in crime to do it," Aika said linking her arm with Yui's.
"Opening a shop is a crime, huh? Then I'm guilty! Someone, put me in handcuffs and take me away!" Yui joked. The three laughed before Naruto stood between the two of them and wrapped his arms around their shoulders.
"And I'll even help you out! You two are great with medicine, Aika can handle the weapons too, and I'll bring in copies of Pervy Sage's books!" He grinned at them.
"NO WAY!" The two girls shouted.
"How about you just stand in the shop and look pretty?" Yui teased. Naruto sulked.
"Okay, we'll sell his Gutsy Ninja book. But that's it. No Come Come Paradise!" Aika told him.
"I can live with that! Believe it!" Naruto grinned brightly while the two girls giggled. "Now, I have to go meet up with Hinata."
"Oh yeah! Good luck with proposing to her!" Yui smiled.
"She'll say yes. I know it!" Aika smiled. Naruto smiled and waved as he ran off. "You know, maybe we should make a bet on who gets a hot boyfriend first," Aika said to Yui.
"I shouldn't have any problem winning that one," Yui replied.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Aika asked before the two laughed.
"Aika?" Tamahome asked softly. Aika opened her eyes slowly to see a naked Tamahome on top of her. Aika blushed darkly.
"Ah! Get out of my bed, you pervert!" She screamed before punching him out of bed while holding the sheets to her naked chest. Tamahome's upper half was now on the ground, anime tears streaming down.
"Well, that proves I'm not having a dream! So what am I doing in bed with you naked?" Tamahome asked. Aika kept the blankets to her chest as she looked around.
"What are we doing here? All I remember is…" Aika trailed off as she remembered Nakago's glowing mark on his forehead and how it seemed to injure her. She moved her blanket to look at the cuts. "The wounds I got from that fight, they're all healed." Tamahome got up with a bump on his head.
"Yeah, I felt better when I first woke up," he muttered while Aika gave an apologetic smile. They then saw their bed was surrounded by clouds and gold pillars.
"Where are we?"
"I don't know. I wonder where Chichiri went," Tamahome replied. Aika suddenly thought of Yui and hid her face in the blankets. "Aika? What's wrong?" Tamahome asked concerned as he heard her quiet and soft sobs.
"You tricked me, didn't you?! You didn't come back here for me! It's only your desire for Tamahome that made you return! Isn't that right? You've had it easy from the beginning! You had someone who cared about you! For me it was just the opposite!" Yui shouted at her.
"Is it Yui?" Tamahome asked her. Aika pulled the blanket from her face as she kept her gaze down. Tamahome placed his hand on her head and gently pulled her to his chest. "There was nothing we could have done to get her out of there, Aika. But I swear we'll find a way to save her," he promised. Aika closed her eyes as she leaned against him.
'Tamahome doesn't understand. Yui chose to stay in Kutou. She chose to be our enemy,' she thought before looking ahead with narrowed eyes. "I have to go back to Kutou as soon as possible," she told him. Tamahome looked at her like she was crazy.
"Huh?!"
"There's something important I have to ask Yui about," Aika stated.
"What?" Tamahome asked curious.
'Yui can't be made at me just because she's in love with Tamahome too! I wonder…' Aika began to wrap the blanket around her to get out of bed until Tamahome yanked it.
"Hold it! In case you haven't noticed, we only have one sheet! I'm not gonna walk around here butt naked!" He told her.
"I thought you were a gentleman! I see I was mistaken!" Aika growled as she yanked the sheet back.
"If I was a gentleman I wouldn't need it!" Tamahome growled back as he pulled.
"ENOUGH!" Taiitsukun shouted making Tamahome let go and fall out of bed. Aika looked over to see Taiitsukun, Chichiri, and the Nyan-Nyan. "We didn't nurse you back to health just to hear you bicker!" She shouted. Tamahome blushed and covered his lower region up.
"Taiitsukun," Aika said.
"Chichiri," Tamahome added.
"Then we must be on Mount Taikyoku," Aika mused.
"It has been a while since you have visited, my impetuous ones. Chichiri arrived quiet unexpectedly with the two of you unconscious," Taiitsukun stated.
"Hi, Aika!" A Nyan-Nyan smiled.
"Your injuries were minor so we treated them and prepared a bed," Taiitsukun said a little annoyed by the first Nyan-Nyan.
"We made your bruises go away!"
"We made a bed for you to rest-!"
"SILENCE!" Taiitsukun shouted shutting them up. "BRING THEM THEIR CLOTHES AND LET ME SPEAK!" She shouted at the Nyan-Nyans. The Nyan-Nyan ran away as Chichiri gave the two their clothes.
"Here," Chichiri said.
"Thank you for saving us," Aika smiled a bit as she took the clothing. "Both of you," she said to Taiitsukun who gave a warm smile to her.
"You could have given us night shirts," Tamahome muttered embarrassed.
"But how do you know about Mount Taikyoku, Chichiri?" Aika asked.
"Very simple!" Chichiri said before ripping his mask off to reveal his real face. "Actually, I've been in formal training here for over three years, ya know," he said to her.
"Oh, and it appears a friend of yours showed up," Taiitsukun said to Aika who looked at her with confusion.
"Do you mean my friend Naruto?" She asked.
"No! Me, you brat!" A male voice shouted. Aika looked on the bed and suddenly saw a small version of the Nine Tailed Fox Kurama. Aika blinked.
"Kurama?!" She asked. "How the hell did you get here?!"
"I don't know! I was sleeping in the mountain back home and suddenly I wind up on this freakin' mountain! Now I know why Naruto was feeling worried," Kurama said.
"A-a fox?!" Tamahome freaked.
"Oh shut up, I'm not gonna hurt ya, brat," Kurama muttered. Aika smiled and began petting Kurama.
"It's been a while, Kurama," she said. 'Kurama is one of the guardians of the Land of Fire and Suzaku is the fire bird, so I guess it only makes sense that Kurama was here.'
"Yeah, a few months, Kit," he said to her. Kurama had taken to calling Naruto, Yui, and Aika Kits seeing as the three were as close as siblings.
"Aika, you are determined to return to Kutou?" Taiitsukun asked after the two got dressed.
"Yes, because I've got to find my friend Yui and figure out what's wrong. I have to find out what happened to her three months ago," Aika stated as the three knelt in front of Taiitsukun. Aika was holding Kurama in her arms.
"What the hell did I freakin' miss?" Kurama asked confused.
"Uh….it's a long story," Tamahome replied.
"I have a much better way of finding your answers than by simply returning to Kutou," Taiitsukun stated.
"A better way? How so?" Aika asked curious.
"Just follow me," Taiitsukun replied. Aika looked at Tamahome and Chichiri who nodded. The three then followed Taiitsukun, Kurama staying the raven haired girl's arms. There they saw a large mirror.
"Wow, that's the biggest mirror I've ever seen," Aika mused.
"Tell me about it…think it's big enough for Sakura and Ino?" Kurama snickered making Aika giggle.
"This mirror records every event in the world and plays it back for me to see," Taiitsukun said.
"I see, kinda like a special Genjutsu I read about," Aika mused to herself.
"I command you, mirror. Show us what happened to the girl Yui when she arrived three months ago," Taiitsukun said to the mirror. Aika braced herself as Taiitsukun raised her staff and the image appeared on the mirror. There was the capitol of Kutou. Yui was walking around, passing an alley that had two men in it.
"Yui…" Aika whispered. Kurama looked at her before looking back at the mirror.
"Aika?" Yui asked as she walked.
"That's the slum district in the heart of Kutou's capitol," Tamahome realized.
"Slum district?" Aika asked not liking the sound of that.
"Hey, check this out," a man said making Yui look over.
"She's dressed sort of funny, but she's got a great body," the other guy said.
"Let's have some fun, girlie," the first man smirked.
"Yeah, you heard him. Get over here!" The other said was Yui looked in fear. She then took off running.
"AIKA! Help!" Yui shouted as the two men chased after her. "No! No! Aika! Where are you?!" Yui shouted as the man caught up to her and grabbed her. "No! Let go!" Yui screamed.
"Come here!"
"Why won't you answer me, Aika?!"
"Shut up! She's a noisy one!" They ripped her clothes off. Aika stared with wide eyes. Tamahome and Chichiri were looking away as Yui screamed and the men raped her. Kurama whimpered and his ears flattened. Aika's eyes filled with tears and she closed her eyes.
"Stop it…" she murmured. "That's enough…TURN IT OFF!" She screamed before the mirror got rid of the image. She looked down as tears flooded down her cheeks. Kurama whimpered in worry as he looked at her. "I-I had no idea she'd been through anything like that. Then…that's why she…she tried to kill herself," she softly sobbed as she remembered that scar on Yui's wrist.
"Kit…" Kurama murmured using one of his tails to try and wipe her tears away. They just kept going.

"So at last, we have the Priestess of Seiryuu," The Emperor said as Nakago and Yui stood in front of his desk. "Now it is my wish that you gather the Seiryuu Seven and summon Seiryuu as soon as possible. It is a pity the Priestess of Suzaku escaped us, but her fate is best left in your hands from this moment on," the Emperor said to Yui.
~0~
"Oh Yui, I don't know why I couldn't hear you calling out. I'd have found you and taken care of you. We're connected. I just wish I understood how we got switched. Why did you get taken as soon as you figured out a way to get me out of the book and back to our world?" Aika softly sobbed to herself. The others looked at her sadly. "Everything that you are going through…and all the time I was…Yui!" She breathed tearfully as she collapsed to her knees. Kurama nuzzled her to try and help her calm down.
~0~
'For three months I've waited for Aika. And when she finally comes back to this world, it isn't even for me. All her talk about 'let's open a shop together' meant nothing,' Yui thought as tears flooded her eyes inwardly. 'To think I considered her my best friend. I'll never forgive her. Never!' "Yes, as you wish. I will deal with her."
"This pleases me, Priestess of Seiryuu. For the time being I will wait for you to eliminate the Priestess of Suzaku. Until everyone who opposes us is removed we will post pone our attack on Konan. If they were to use the power of Suzaku to restore their armies after we've defeated them, our forces would be obliterated," the Emperor said.
"I will not fail you," Yui said with a small bow, Nakago watching her. They soon left the Emperor's office and were walking through the halls. 'Aika, there's no turning back now. I'm going to make sure your hopes and dreams are as dead as mine are.'

Aika was sitting in the bedroom, holding Kurama to her. Outside the room stood Tamahome and Chichiri.
"How's Aika doing, Tamahome?" Chichiri asked. The blue haired man sighed.
"Not so good. She locks herself inside her room and refuses to speak to me. If only…" He trailed off as Taiitsukun appeared in his face. Tamahome screamed and hugged Chichiri. "Chichiri, it's awful, What is it?!" He asked.
"I will see to Aika," Taiitsukun said floating to the bedroom…upside down.
"I guess after three years I'm used to her looks, ya know," Chichiri sweat-dropped. Back in the bedroom, Aika looked down at the ground.
"Aika!" Yui called out to her in fear as she was being raped.
'What happened to Yui was all my fault. How can I ever make it up to her? Why couldn't I hear her calling me?' Aika thought to herself.
"Kit, it's not your fault," Kurama said trying to comfort her.
"Aika," Taiitsukun said making the two look at her.
"Taiitsukun…"
"You took off your weapons pouch when you got to your own world, didn't you?" Taiitsukun asked.
"My weapons pouch?" Aika asked confused until she gasped. She had set her weapons pouch down and inside it was the special kunai only she, Yui, and Naruto had! "Of course, when I took that off, my connection with Yui was cut off because I didn't have my kunai on me!" she realized.
"That is why this is not your fault. It is Lady Yui's misfortune," Taiitsukun said to her. Aika glared a bit.
"I'm sorry, Taiitsukun, but I'm not going to write this off as bad luck. She came here because it was the only way for me to go back to my world. As soon as Yui disappeared I should have known. I just…I don't know what I'm going to do," Aika said as she rubbed her forehead.
"Aika…" Kurama sighed a bit.
"Priestess, observe please," Taiitsukun said revealing a small mirror. Aika looked over at the mirror and it suddenly glowed. She then found herself floating over Konan.
"Okay, now what's going on? Why am I suddenly floating over Konan with no wings or something under me?" Aika asked curious.
"Is this a bad time to mention I hate heights?" Kurama asked as he clung onto Aika. Aika sweat-dropped. Everyone, this is the big bad Nine Tailed Fox we're talking about and he's clinging to Aika like a baby panda would it's mother.
"Look below you," Taiitsukun said. Aika did so and saw a part of the palace.
"Is that who I think it is?" Aika mumbled as she landed down by the Emperor in her astral form. "Hotohori."
"Your highness," Nuriko said walking up in his original clothing.
"Nuriko," Aika said.
"Aika…why is that guy dressed like a girl?" Kurama asked.
"Uh…you don't wanna know," Aika sweat-dropped.
"Please get some rest, Emperor. You haven't slept or eaten a proper meal in days and we're begging to worry about you," Nuriko said to Hotohori.
"My Empire is facing a foreign invasion and all I can think about is Aika's safety. My appetite won't return until she does," Hotohori stated shocking Aika.
"Wow, you're quite popular here, Kit," Kurama muttered.
"You worry too much, Sire. Tamahome and Chichiri went after her and the Priestess will always have Suzaku's protection," Nuriko assured.
"You are right. Knowing Aika, she'll return as bright, cheerful, and sweet as ever," Hotohori smiled while Aika blushed a bit.
"Hotohori…Nuriko…" Aika frowned a bit until she was back to floating over Konan. She heard people speaking.
"Is it true what they say? That Kutou's going to attack?"
"I've heard they've already occupied one of the water towns to the east!"
"Well, at least we have the Priestess of Suzaku."
"Oh yes. Without her, we'd be lost."
"It's true, the Priestess of Suzaku will save us." Aika looked down at them, touched by their comments about her.
"Do you understand now? You are no longer simply a girl named Aika Hitsubasa. Think of what you represent. You are the Priestess of Suzaku," Taiitsukun said before they were back in the bedroom. Aika fell to the floor on her knees. Kurama had rolled out of her arms and rubbed his head.
"That hurt, you know!" He growled.
"Sorry, Kurama," Aika said. Kurama huffed and jumped up onto her head, laying there.
"Well then, Priestess of Suzaku, have you figured out what you must do to make things right?" Taiitsukun asked.
"The Priestess of Suzaku will save us," Aika remembered a guy saying.
'She's right. No matter how much I'm hurting, I'm no good to anyone shut inside my room. Going through the book and becoming the Priestess of Suzaku, it really happened and I can't run away from it anymore. Now I know what I have to do,' Aika thought with determination burning in her brown eyes. "Yes. I shall return to Konan and act as the Priestess of Suzaku should. I will find the rest of the Suzaku Seven and stop the summoning of Seiryuu," she stated.
"Well said, Aika," Taiitsukun said with a warm smile making Aika smiled back.
"That's right! My Kit is back!" Kurama said making Aika giggle a bit. Aika got up and walked to the double doors, opening them to reveal Tamahome and Chichiri. She smiled at them happily.
"Let's go back to Konan. I still have to find the last three remaining Warriors of the Suzaku Seven!" She said to them making the two men smile.
"Aika," Tamahome went over to hug her, but she walked right passed him. "Huh? Hey!"
'Tamahome, Yui and I are truly enemies now. The only way I can make things as they were is to gather all of the Suzaku Seven and summon Suzaku. They say Suzaku could grant me anything I desire. If that's true then Yui and I can become friends again and Konan will be saved. But to do that, no matter how much I love you…I have to do my best to forget about you because Yui is also in love with you. I can't stand hurting her anymore…'
~0~
Yui was in her room, sitting on the window sill only wearing her shirt. She looked out at the scenery, not hearing Nakago come in.
"What's wrong, Lady Yui? What troubles you?" He asked walking over to her.
"Oh, nothing," she sighed looking back out the window.
"You've been thinking about that Warrior of Suzaku ever since we faced him in battle," Nakago stated.
"We are leaving! Come on!" Tamahome shouted to her.
"So you are thinking about him. Things may work out," Nakago said getting Yui's attention.
"Huh? What do you mean?" She asked looking at him.
"That Warrior boy Tamahome, you desire him, don't you?" Nakago asked her. Yui nodded and Nakago let a mix of a smirk and smile show. "Well then, we will see to it you get your wish," he said making her look at him surprised.
~0~
Aika smiled when she saw Hotohori after they made it back to the Konan Empire. Kurama was currently on Tamahome's shoulder.
"Hotohori, I'm back," she said with that warm smile. Hotohori's eyes widened a bit as he stood.
"Aika," he said before running up and gathering her into his arms. "Praise Suzaku for watching over you," he said.
"Hmph," Tamahome hummed with jealousy. Kurama looked between the two and smirked.
'Aika, you really are popular here, aren't you?' He thought to himself.
"Yes. Chichiri took us to Taiitsukun's palace. I'm so sorry you had to worry about me, Hotohori," Aika said with a guilty frown. Hotohori looked at Tamahome and saw the jealousy in his eyes. Kurama jumped up onto Aika's head making Hotohori jump back with a small yelp. Aika giggled a bit. "Sorry about that. This is my friend Kurama, the Nine Tailed Fox."
"I was just a bit surprised. He is quite a beautiful creature though," Hotohori smiled as he pet Kurama's head.
"Aw shucks. I'm glad I have fur or I'd be blushing like Hinata when she sees Naruto. Okay, I like your choice in friends, Kit," Kurama said as he nuzzled Hotohori's hand. Aika giggled a bit as she remembered Hinata blushing like crazy for Naruto. He then jumped back into Tamahome's arms. Tamahome held him.
"Anyways, I'm pretty exhausted so I'll need some friends. But first, Chichiri, meet the Emperor," Aika smiled at her friend.
"Oh, hello?" Chichiri smiled as he waved.
"Aika!" Nuriko called running up.
"Nuriko!" Aika smiled as she run up and hugged her best friend here. "Still as stylish as ever, my friend."
"And you're still as cute as ever, Aika," Nuriko said as the two linked arms and started walking out of the room. "So, did you meet up with your friend?
"Well, that's kind of a long story," Aika said to him. Tamahome growled when they left.
"Of all the-!"
"Sheesh, Kit, calm down," Kurama said to him.
"'Kit'?" Tamahome asked.
"Well, you're a friend of Aika's. I'll call you 'Kit', I'll call them 'Kit'," he pointed two of his tails at Chichiri and Hotohori. "I'll call the guy in drag 'Kit', I'll call everyone close to Aika 'Kit'. Got a problem with that?!" Kurama growled a bit.
"N-not at all," Tamahome said with a nervous smile.
"That's right! Fear the fox, bitches!" Kurama smirked his grin while the three guys sweat-dropped at him. Hotohori looked at Tamahome with an intense gaze, a slight glare.
~0~
Aika was in her room having just changed into her night clothes that consisted of a red loose tank stop and black short shorts. Kurama was with her and dug through the bag of sweets.
"Aika, we have to talk!" Tamahome walked in and sweat-dropped when he saw Kurama with a mouth stuffed full of food. Aika sighed a bit and slapped the food out of Kurama's mouth. "What in the world are you doing?" He asked the fox.
"I'm starvin'! I needed something to eat and took too big a bite!" Kurama huffed as Tamahome picked up the bag that had some snacks in it.
"What were you eating?" Tamahome asked.
"Just some food I packed and brought from my world," Aika replied as Tamahome's eyes sparked when he looked in the bag. "Just a couple fruits you've never heard of before, some bubble gum, and sweets made of sugar and artificial flavor."
"A feast from another world!" Tamahome grinned before making it look like he was going to rob the food.
"Tamahome," Aika scolded.
"Wait a minute! I didn't come here for a bag full of magic goodies!" Tamahome said seriously before putting the bag down and looking at Aika. "Why do you keep avoiding me?" He asked.
"Uh…I-I'll leave you two alone," Kurama said grabbing a few apples before walking out of the room. Aika sighed a bit, knowing she had to face the music. She turned from him.
"Tamahome, in the morning I'm going to be looking for the rest of the Suzaku Seven," she started.
"What does that have to do with you and me, Aika?" Tamahome frowned.
"I'm the Priestess of Suzaku and you're one of the Suzaku Warriors. We have to clear our minds. That also means you should be careful about visiting my room. We don't want-." Aika was suddenly cut off by Tamahome kissing her. Aika pushed him away.
"Stop!" She said before they both landed on her bed, Tamahome hovering over her. "Let go," she said to him.
"In a minute. First you're going to tell me why you're really avoiding me and don't tell me it has to do with our titles!" Tamahome said with narrowed eyes.
"Don't you see?"
"See what?"
"You idiot, Yui's in love with you too!" Aika stated. They heard the door open and looked over to see Hotohori there with his sword. Tamahome stood and glared a bit.
"Your Majesty," Tamahome said bitterly. Hotohori glared at him and brought the blade of his sword to Tamahome's neck.
"Hotohori, don't! Stop!" Aika said standing up. Tamahome brought his arm out in front of her, stopping her. He lowered his arm when she backed up.
"If you have an excuse for being in the Priestess' courters I would like to hear it. This is an inexcusable breach of conduct," Hotohori stated firmly.
"I offer no excuses. But I will say this much for myself…I am in love with Aika and that's why I'll always challenge anyone for her hand," Tamahome said calmly, unafraid.
"Tamahome…" Aika whispered stunned. Hotohori stared at him for a moment before dropping his sword.
"You show great courage in the face of your kingdom's leader. Have no fear. You are of the Suzaku Seven. I will not kill you. However, if you were not of the Suzaku Seven and we were both just ordinary men then there would be a reckoning," Hotohori said with a slight glare before looking at Aika. "Aika, only one man can truly love you," he said before sheathing his sword and leaving her room. As soon as the door closed, Tamahome crouched down.
"Man was I scared! You don't even wanna know how scared I was just know!" He exclaimed nervously.
"You idiot! What if he lopped off your head in the heat of the moment?! Why do you wanna make the Emperor mad?! He's the most important man in the kingdom and if he-!" Aika was grabbed by the shoulders and forced to sit down while Tamahome hovered over her again.
"That doesn't matter to me where you're concerned. Do you know what this symbol on my forehead stands for?" Tamahome asked as his Ogre mark glowed. Aika looked at it before looking him in the eyes and saw a small smile. "Ever since I was a kid I've hated being stuck with this, but now I accept it because it's prove I'm a live to protect you and proof were meant for each other, Aika," he said softly to her. Aika's eyes widened before softening. She threw her arms around his neck.
"Tamahome," she whispered as tears prick her eyes. Tamahome wrapped his arms around her tightly.
"Aika."
'It's no use, I can't stay away from him. Not when I love him this much,' she thought as she buried her face in his shoulder.

"The Priestess of Suzaku was in love with Tamahome and Tamahome was in love with the Priestess of Suzaku. When they embraced, their hearts were set on fire," Naruto read.
~0~
"Will you always stay with me, Tamahome? Will you never leave me?" Aika asked as they kept holding each other in their arms.
"Of course I won't, silly girl," Tamahome smiled.
'There's only you, Tamahome. Only you. Forgive me, Yui. Forgive me, Hotohori.'
Kida: *Sweat-drops* I feel like I wrote something cheesy.
Naruto: You did write something cheesy.
Tamahome: But cheesy is good!
Kida: You just like it because you got to kiss Aika!
Tamahome: *Blushes*
Kida: *Smirks* That's what I thought. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Please favorite and comment! Please inspire me to keep going!
