Kida: Dammit! Seiryuu's been summoned! He's not bad looking though...

Kido: Kida!

Kida: What? I'm a young woman.

Kido: You're almost twenty!

Kida: Yeah, so are you. You don't think you're young anymore? Okay, old man.

Kido: *Blinks* I'M NOT OLD, GRANDMA!

Kida: You did not just call me that!

Tamahome: How it went from the looks of a Beast God in his human form to them going on about their ages is...confusing. Anyways, Kida Tenshi doesn't own Naruto or Fushigi Yuugi. She only owns Aika Hitsubasa and other OCs.

Lady Yui, now in possession of the Byakko Shinzahou, proceeds to the ceremony to summon Seiryuu. Meanwhile, Chiriko's body has been taken over by Miboshi and now Chiriko must sacrifice his own life to kill the predator. The Lady Aika tries to stop the ceremony before Seiryuu is summoned.

"No! Yui! Don't do it! Don't summon Seiryuu!" Aika shouted. It's too late, the ceremony has been performed. The symbol on Yui's forehead glowed, showing the character of 'Spirit'. The Shinzahous glowed blue and shot rays up to the clouded sky. Suddenly a bright light appeared in a blue orb in the sky. The light expanded and there was lightning sparking through. Nakago smirked as he watched while the others were shocked.

"Look at that," Chichiri said in awe. Aika watched as the lightning sparked around and suddenly the clouds started moving, forming a tunnel and that's when Seiryuu appeared in its dragon form. Aika collapsed to her knees.

"I couldn't stop her…I couldn't stop her," she said distraught.

"Aika," Tamahome frowned as he looked at her.

"He comes," Nakago smirked. The dragon glowed blue as it came down and landed in front of Yui. Yui was then shocked to see Seiryuu in his human form of a handsome young man with long blue hair and eyes, dressed in blue and gold armor.

"I am Seiryuu Seikun, Priestess. You are the Priestess who has brought me here?" Seiryuu asked.

"Y-yes," Yui replied. Seiryuu raised his hand.

"I will now couple with you and we will become as one. In exchange you shall be given use of my holy power three times to use as you wish. When you are ready, simply say the word 'Kaijin' understand?" He asked.

"Kaijin?" Yui asked. She let out a surprised scream as her clothes were then off. Seiryuu then made himself one with Yui. Yui's hand turned into a fist and she soon opened her eyes.

"Is it done?" Nakago asked. The area then glowed blue making the Warriors cover their eyes.

"What's that light? It's spreading out!" Tamahome said as he saw the orb of light expanding.

"Yui," Aika gasped. The light disappeared revealing Yui and the Seiryuu Warriors gone making her eyes widen. "Yui!"

"She's vanished!" Chichiri said shocked. Aika looked down with tears.

'Yui, we didn't talk and I never got to say one word to you,' she thought sadly. Suddenly there was loud rumbling.

"Uh oh! A shock wave!" Tamahome said as the ground beneath them started crumbling as everyone else showed up as well. Chichiri used his cape and placed the end of his staff on it making it glow.

"Everyone, hurry! We've gotta get out of here, ya know! Now that this has happened, we've gotta get back to Konan as soon as possible!" He said to them.

"Master," Tamahome said looking at Tokaki who was holding Tatara, and Subaru.

"Don't worry, we will be all right. It looks to me like we're still going to live for quite a while. Come back again after everything's settled down. I care about you like a son," Tokaki said with a smile.

"Father…" Tamahome murmured.

"Don't lose hope, Aika," Subaru smiled at Aika.

"Subaru," Aika murmured. It's then the Suzaku group was gone.

"We better go home too. If we don't get back to our original ages then it'll kill us," Tokaki said to his wife.

~0~

Aika slowly opened her eyes to see Tamahome hovering over her with worry.

"Aika," he said.

"Tamahome…"

"It's all right. We've returned to Konan. You're safe now," Tamahome assured. Aika sat up with slightly wide eyes.

"And the others?" She asked worried.

"They're fine. They're all resting. I think his Highness will be coming to see you soon," Tamahome said to her.

"Tamahome, what'll I do? What am I supposed to do now?" Aika asked. She couldn't summon Suzaku now and Yui already summoned Seiryuu! Tamahome pulled her into his arms.

"Aika, it'll be all right. I know it will," Tamahome said softly to her. Aika hugged him close just as he was holding her.

"Tamahome…" she whispered.

~0~

Yui opened her eyes and they widened as she sat up in her bed back in Kutou. She saw Nakago sitting next to the bed.

"Lady Yui, are you entirely awake now?" Nakago asked her.

"I…" Yui trailed off looking at her hands. 'That's right. I summoned Seiryuu.'

"Shall we begin, Lady Yui? Make your first wish," Nakago said to her.

'Yes, the time has finally come,' Yui thought. The symbol on her forehead glowed. "Kaijin! Seal Suzaku away forever more!"

~0~

Tamahome gasped making Aika look at him with worry.

"What's wrong?" She asked him. Tamahome looked at his hand.

"My strength, i-it just suddenly…" The door burst open to reveal Tasuki.

"Hey, Tamahome, can you still use your powers?" He asked almost panicked.

"Tasuki!" Aika said in surprise as Tamahome stood.

"What's got you all upset?" Tamahome asked him.

"Don't argue, just try to use them!" Tasuki told him. Tamahome tried to make a life force energy ball, but nothing happened.

"Nothing!" He said with wide eyes as Aika got up.

"Tamahome, the Ogre mark on your forehead is gone," she stated.

"What?!" Tamahome asked stunned. Chichiri then walked in with Mitsukake.

"She's right, ya know. We've all tried to use our powers, but we can't anymore, ya know. They're gone. Gone!" Chichiri said.

"My character won't appear either," Tasuki said holding his forearm.

"Then when I felt my strength leave my body, it was because…"

"We are no longer Celestial Warriors," Hotohori said as he walked in then. "We've now become ordinary people or rather Suzaku itself has vanished. I believe that Suzaku has been sealed away from us."

"Sealed away?" Aika asked with wide eyes.

"There's only one person who could do this…Yui," Kurama said with a low growl.

~0~

Yui collapsed onto the bed, weak and panting.

"Lady Yui, are you all right?" Nakago asked, placing a hand on her back.

"I feel weak. My whole body just lost its strength," Yui murmured before Nakago laid her down. He then held her hand, giving a small squeeze.

"Seiryuu now exists inside of you. Exorcising the Beast God's power has formidable repercussions to your system. We better wait for your strength to return before using the next wish. We must not endanger your life for this," Nakago said to her.

"I'll be fine. We still have too more wishes and the Kutou Emperor's wish has already been granted. I can use the last two anyway I want to. Aika and Tamahome can't do anything to us anymore. Oh, that's right, I made you a promise, didn't I? That you can have any wish you wanted granted. What is your wish? Tell me what it is," Yui smiled.

"My wish? I want to be a god. I want everlasting life and ultimate power."

~0~

"I see…Nuriko. We of Konan have no choice now but to fight Kutou. From the beginning, we were dependent on Suzaku's power. We were naïve to think having the Priestess was enough against their strength. Now even if we lose ground, we will never give up because we have something important to defend," Hotohori said looking at Chiriko, gently caressing the child's cheek. "Every last person in Konan must rise up. You were the ones who taught me that. Thank you."

"Hotohori…" Aika whispered. She suddenly sweat-dropped when Tamahome and Tasuki started spazzing out.

"We're being followed around by Nuriko's ghost!" Tasuki shouted.

"Chichiri! Chichiri! Chant a sutra! Get him to go back and rest in peace or something! And leave us alone!" Tamahome shouted. They both then suddenly screamed when the door opened. There stood a woman with light purple hair and green eyes, dressed in royal garb. Aika blinked.

'She…she almost looks like Nuriko…' she thought.

"Nuriko!" Kurama shouted before hugging the woman. He then blinked when he felt her chest. "W-what the hell? Nuriko, when did you get breasts?!" He spazzed out. "Oh no! You went back to your crossdressing ways, didn't you?!" Hotohori sweat-dropped.

"Kurama, this woman is not Nuriko. She is my wife and Empress," Hotohori said shocked Aika.

"Empress?" She asked.

"Oh…uh…s-sorry about that…uh…queen lady," Kurama said getting down and going over to Aika, embarrassed. Tamahome and Tasuki blinked at the woman.

"You may call me Houki," Houki smiled with a small bow. Aika smile and bowed back.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Aika Hitsubasa," she said to her.

"I was surprised myself when I first met Houki. Her resemblance to Nuriko is striking. When I think back, just before Nuriko's death, I sensed his life force as though Nuriko was trying to introduce us," Hotohori said to them.

"He did," Aika smiled sadly. 'Well, now it looks like you get to be with Hotohori through Houki, Nuriko. At least you get to be a woman too, just like you wanted before,' she thought remembering Nuriko's old wish.

"And now, it's your turn," Hotohori said making Aika's eyes widen a bit. "You and Tamahome, if he isn't one of the Suzaku Seven any longer, then you are not the Priestess of Suzaku. You can get married any time you wish," he said making the couple's eyes widen and look at each other.

'That's right, I'm not the Priestess anymore,' Aika thought.

"Hm….I don't know…" Kurama muttered making the two look at him. "I need to know this idiot won't hurt the girl again. The next time he does, he won't be alive to even apologize."

"Kurama…" Aika muttered.

"Your Highness, the Kutou army has moved to attack us. The first division of the sixth army is on route to the border to engage them, but the Kutou forces outnumber our own three to one. It's only a matter of time before they break through!" A soldier said.

"So, they're finally comin'!" Tasuki said. Tamahome punched a fist into his hand.

"All right, we'll give them a battle," Tamahome said determined.

"Tamahome…" Hotohori tried to say.

"Suzaku may be sealed and our marks and powers may be gone, but we're still the Suzaku Seven, your Highness," Tamahome stated.

'Tamahome,' Aika thought. Her eyes then narrowed in determination. "Me too. I'm going with you. I'm still the Priestess and besides, I still have my fire power," she told them.

"Count me in. They don't have a Tailed Beast on their side…and we can be mighty deadly," Kurama smirked.

"I see your itching for a fight hasn't changed," Hotohori mused.

"Damn straight!" Kurama grinned.

"All right! Let's give this all we got!" Tasuki said to the group.

"Yeah!" Everyone agreed.

~0~

"Bring the Beast Gods to this world?!" Naruto asked shocked.

"Yeah. Takiko Okuta, the Priestess of Genbu, summoned the Beast God and returned to this world. You saw it, didn't you? That hole?" The man asked.

"Genbu Grotto," Naruto remembered.

"Yeah, that's apparently where the Beast God tried to come out. Ever since I was a little kid, I thought it was just a fairy tale. I never believed any of grandma's stories, I didn't believe her," the man said looking at his grandmother.

"You must have believed. That's why you went and checked it out," Naruto said to him. The man let out a small chuckle.

"Grandma would get so annoyed when I wouldn't listen to her. She was always annoyed with me."

~0~

Aika was in her room, looking up at the night sky through her window.

'Yui, you did it. You summoned Seiryuu, so I guess that means 'goodbye'. Yui…I just…' Aika thought before groaning and shaking her head. "Aika, give it up! You're about to go off with Tamahome and the others to have a fight!" She exclaimed before she sighed. "Tamahome…"

"If he isn't one of the Suzaku Seven any longer, then you are not the Priestess of Suzaku. You can get married any time you wish," Hotohori had told her.

'Married. That's right. I can be Tamahome's bride now if I want to,' she thought. Aika groaned again and face palmed. "What am I thinking?! The entire Konan Empire's in trouble! This is not time for romance!" She exclaimed. 'I wonder if we'll even survive now that the Suzaku Seven have lost all their powers.'

"Are you talking to yourself in here?" Tamahome asked as he walked in. Aika jumped a bit.

"Tamahome," she said standing up.

"Are you really serious about going with us to fight? This isn't a game. It'll be brutal and ugly," Tamahome stated.

"It wouldn't be the first fight I've been in, remember? Tamahome, I'm not making this decision to fight lightly. I also know how to fight and defend myself. I have the abilities of a ninja. Hotohori gave me his holy sword to defend myself with and I may not be able to use it that well like a professional, but I want to try and help on my own. I don't wanna be a burden to any of you and…and besides, I don't wanna leave your side for even a second," Aika murmured making Tamahome's eyes widen slightly.

"This may be really selfish of me to say, but…" Tamahome turned away. "But somewhere in my heart I'm glad you didn't summon Suzaku. You aren't the Priestess any longer. You're just a normal woman and I'm not a Celestial Warrior, I'm a normal man. I know it's selfish to be thinking of myself at a time like this, but the truth is, I want you now, more than ever," he said making Aika's eyes widen. He smiled over his shoulder. "What am I talking about? I better stop now and get my priorities straight. The Empires in danger, we have a war to win. Try to sleep, we're gonna need our rest," he said before he began to leave.

'Win? Will we win? The Kutou's army is three times bigger than Konan's they said. The people in the city say we have no choice in beating them. Everyone may die tomorrow including me and Tamahome,' Aika thought before running up and hugging Tamahome from behind making his eyes widen. 'But it's all right because….' "Tonight, please stay with me," she whispered making Tamahome's eyes widen more. Aika's hand rested over his heart. "Make me…make me your bride tonight, Tamahome," she murmured. Tamahome placed his hand on hers, holding it.

"You sure about this?" He asked her. He turned and cupped her cheek.

"More than anything I've ever been sure about," Aika replied. Tamahome then passionately kissed her. 'We may die, but even if we do. But even if we do, I don't mind.'

"Aika…"

'We've decided we would spend our lives together, you and I. So it's only right that we die together.'

Soi walked into the tent.

"Nakago, it's time. We should move out now," she said. Her eyes then widened as she gasped when she saw Nakago looking at images of Yui's and Aika's world from Tomo's shell. She saw a mountain that had the faces of five men and a woman. There were buildings and parks. Many people were dressed differently, most in ninja gear. She then saw the view of the whole village. "What…what in the world is all that?" She asked. Nakago closed the shell making the image disappear. "That's Tomo's shell Shin, isn't it?"

"Yes. When we attempted to recover his body, this shell was all that was left of him still intact. I had opened it earlier to pass the time, never realizing the wonders it held inside to witness," Nakago said.

"Lady Yui's homeland?" Soi asked.

"Perhaps."

"Nakago, will you ever take your armor off just for me?" Soi frowned.

"What in this world are you talking about? I've taken my armor off in front of you many times before," Nakago said to her.

"Yes, I've shared your physical body many times before to help increase your life force, but your heart…I've never seen your heart even though it's been seven years since we met. Do you even remember that? In that whole time, you've been the only thing in my life," Soi stated.

"There's only one person who could possibly fulfill my desires and it is not you, Soi," Nakago said, rejecting her confession.

~0~

'Tonight, I become Tamahome's bride. After all the times we were separated from each other, we'll be joined at last,' Aika thought as she smiled softly up at Tamahome. Tamahome smiled back.

"Aika," he said to her. They suddenly heard a crash.

"God dammit! Tasuki! I'll kill you!" Kurama shouted.

"Ah! Keep that crazy fox away from me!" Tasuki shouted. Aika and Tamahome burst out laughing. It ruined the moment, but it was still funny.

"Poor Tasuki," Tamahome chuckled.

"They never cease to surprise me," Aika said before letting out a soft yawn. Tamahome smiled and rested their foreheads together.

"Let's just go to sleep tonight, okay? We can try this again another time….like on the night after we get married," he said holding her close to him. Aika smiled, snuggling into his warmth as they laid down.

"All right," she agreed before they went to sleep. The next morning soon came.

"Tamahome! Tamahome!" Tasuki shouted and burst through the door. "Aika! Do you know where Tamahome is?! The Kutou army is about to-Eh?!" Tasuki blushed when he saw the two were in each other's arms, naked. "What are you doing?! This is now time for…t-this!"

"Tasuki…you have three seconds before I burn you to a crisp," Aika muttered making Tamahome smirk while Tasuki gulped.

"Right…enjoy your time!" He said running out of the room, closing the doors.

~0~

Soon the gong was ringing and the flags were burning as Kutou and Konan soldiers fought against each other. Tamahome, Aika, Mitsukake, Chichiri, and Tasuki rode to the battle field on horses. Kurama was riding with Aika on her horse. The lightning cracked through the sky.

"Look at those clouds!" Chichiri exclaimed.

"Yeah," Tasuki agreed. The lightning came down and struck some of the Konan soldiers.

"It's Soi!" Aika stated.

"Dammit. I really hate that bitch," Kurama muttered.

~0~

Soi, Suboshi, and Nakago were on a cliff on their horses, watching the battle as Soi used her lightning. Yui was with Nakago, a wrap around her to hide her.

"Incredible. The Konan forces don't stand a chance against us," Suboshi said. Nakago looked over with a small hum of question.

"He has come," he said.

~0~

"Keep your eyes open for their hiding place!" Tamahome called.

"Tamahome!" Aika said looking up at the cliff to see the Seiryuu Warriors. Her eyes widened. "Yui…"

"Aika!" Yui breathed in shock to see her.

"Shall we put it to the test, Lady Yui? And see whether or not our first wish to Seiryuu has been granted to us?" Nakago asked with a energy ball of his life force in his hand.

"Aika, give me the holy sword and then hit the deck!" Tamahome shouted. Aika tossed the sword over and ducked as Tamahome used the sword to block the attack. Tamahome was then thrown from the horse.

"Tamahome!" Aika called. Tasuki, Mitsukake, and Chichiri's horses were almost hit by Soi's lightning. Suboshi chuckled.

"This is great. I love seeing the Suzaku Warriors so weak and running scared," he said.

"It looks like their character marks are gone. With Suzaku sealed it appears they've become rather ordinary human beings," Soi mused. Tamahome got up with a groan as Aika got down and ran to his side.

"Tamahome, are you all right?" Aika asked with concern.

"I'm fine. Take the holy sword and run. I'll stay here and hold them off. If we don't change our strategy, we'll all be killed. If I die, I'm taking them with me, but I won't let you die! Now get away while you still can!" Tamahome told Aika.

"What are you saying?! We're spending our lives together, aren't we? You said I was going to become your bride after we fight this battle, right? I'm not leaving you, no matter what happens!" Aika stated with narrowed eyes. Tamahome's eyes had widened a bit as she said it.

"As much as I hate to say it, she's staying no matter what we say. She's too stubborn," Kurama said, standing in front of them protectively.

"Nakago, I'm sorry. We'll have to leave your wish for later," Yui said jumping down from the horse, her wrap off.

"But, Lady Yui…"

"Kaijin!" Yui said as the symbol glowed on her forehead.

"Lady Yui, what are you doing?" Nakago asked with wide eyes.

"Nakago, watch out!" Soi shouted. Nakago's eyes widened when he saw the sword. Suddenly Soi was in front of him with the sword going through back and her stomach. Tasuki growled, having thrown the sword.

"I missed," he hissed.

"Tasuki," Aika said shocked.

"Soi…" Nakago murmured.

"Nakago," Soi whispered before remembering how they met.

"You little brat! I'll teach you to run away from me!" The man said before smacking a young Soi. He then picked Soi up by the collar. "I paid your parents good money for you and you can't do it with a customer, huh?! Now take them off!" The man ordered. Suddenly he was knocked unconscious and Soi looked up to see a young Nakago.

"Thank you," she said to him.

"Nakago, what's the matter? Hurry up!" A man called before Nakago started walking away from her.

'Nakago,' the young Soi thought. "Nakago…Naka…from that day…to this one…I have only wanted to be with you….at last…I could be useful…" Soi whispered as she leaned up, her hair coming undone. "I…love…" Soi then collapsed into his arms, dead.

"Soi…" Nakago murmured with slightly wide eyes.

"Nakago! Lady Yui!" Suboshi shouted. Nakago looked at Yui and saw the blue light around her. Aika was looking up at Yui with Tamahome.

"A blue light," Tamahome said.

"Yui…she doesn't even look like herself," Aika said worried.

"It is time to say 'goodbye' to Tamahome, Aika. Seiryuu, who dwells within me, grant me my second wish now. Return us to our old reality, take us back at once! Don't let Aika stay in the world of this ancient book for even a minute longer!" Yui ordered. Aika gasped as a blue appeared under her and Kurama.

"Aika!" Tamahome said.

'It's just like when I first came here through the book. Everything around me is vanishing. I'm going back to my reality!' Aika thought with wide eyes. "No! Tamahome!" She shouted.

"Aika!" Tamahome shouted.

'I don't wanna go back! It feels like I'm-!' Aika stopped as she suddenly saw herself at the Hokage Summit. She stood up quickly as her eyes widened. 'The Hokage Summit. I-I've come back! No, what about all the others? Tamahome…' she thought until she heard a familiar groan. Her eyes widened as she turned to see Tamahome laying on the ground next to Kurama. 'Tamahome.'

Kida: Oh dear...

Kido: T-Tamahome's in the ninja world now?

Kida: Yup. Oi, he's in for cultural shock.

Kido: Eh? Cultural shock?

Kida: He's going to be seeing things that are different and it'll be very different compared to back in his home.

Kido: Ah, I see...who knew that Sociology class came in handy for you?

Kida: Shocking, huh? We hope you enjoyed the chapter! Please favorite and comment!
