Miaka POV

"I always wondered what she would be like. Ever since I was a child, I heard stories the priestess of suzaku who will came to our world" hotohori said while looking down to me who was under his body while lingering his fingers on my cheeks. Wait a minute, I was supposed talk to him for pay attention for nuriko not supposed to be in this situation! He's leaning closer to me and trapped me to his arms, I can't move. No way! I'm still junior high school! I can't do this! "Miaka, you are exactly how I imagine, no other women hold any interest for me, I want to know everything about you, everything" he getting more closer till our nose brush each other, is he gonna kiss me? My first kiss... For a moment tamahome come on my mind, tamahome help me! But then he suddenly stood up and pulled his sword. He sliced the wall in his room then the wall came off and I saw tamahome with nuriko standing there while their hands on their own ears, did they eavesdropping for long time ago? Tamahome has heard it hotohori confessing to me? Hotohori asking them why they here and they said nothing and when they both want to left hotohori said "miaka I meant what I said, after we summoned suzaku I will make you as my empress" tamahome flinched heard his words while I getting more shock "hotohori you can't-" hotohori cut my words said "of course not by order, I will make you fall in love with me" I saw his eyes were serious not even have a hint of doubt and lie... Hotohori...

After last night I didn't sleep a wink entire night, my eyes turned panda eyes now. What am I gonna to do? He doesn't know he is a character of this book and I have to get out from this book and take my entrance exam! I wondering what's he thinking about last night... Then suddenly tamahome was in front of me having blank face said "yo" and walk pass me. Is that all? "Where are you going?" I curiously ask him, he didn't bother turned to me and said "gotta make some money" I wanna go with him but he stopping me said "why don't you with nuriko search the other suzaku warrior?" Gih! I forget about nuriko! And she right behind me with death threatening voice call my name... I'm scared but I still have to turned to her and I saw her death aura over her body while her eyes change demon eyes. Help me! And she said "is this what you meant there's nothing between hotohori and you? I will never forgive you!" Then she changed her voice and her face become cute and after tamahome said she's coming with him while putting her hands on tamahome shoulders. Now I'm getting jealousy! Then I don't care I following both of them , i've tries disguise myself so they didn't recognize me. I can't believe nuriko, she say she love hotohori but she getting all over tamahome! But I didn't know both of them knew I was following them.

"Tama chan look at her childish disguise, it's so easy to tell it was her" said nuriko while grinning, tamahome didn't care about her said "let her be"

After they reach the place tamahome selling the chewing gum I gave him before and he still had it on him? Looks like there's nothing more important to him except money... Some people didn't believe the chewing gum was from me and said maybe it was a fake, it was total chaos. I didn't want tamahome being thought he selling fake things, I end up revealing myself and told them the gum was from me I was the one giving him. But rather than helping tamahome, I caused more trouble to him ccaus people making a fuss because everyone want that leaving away from the crowd forgotten about nuriko still in the crowd.

Finally I was able to be alone with him! But it was awkward he avoid my eyes. I took my courage said "tamahome? How did you feel about me?" He started look my eyes but get interrupts by some stranger.
