The girls struggle , but to no avail , until suddenly , a handsome young man ( Tamahome ) with the mark of oni ( ogre ) on his forehead appears and roundly trounces the brutes , but not out of any kind of sense of moral outrage . On the contrary , he's quick to demand money for his service . When Yui and Miaka confess their penniless status , he promptly deserts them .
Miaka , distracted by the search for some money for their protector, suddenly realizes that her friend has vanished ( Well Yui has been pulled back to the library .

Then Miaka entered a city (Konan city) to look for Yui, though the young man kidnapped her friend.
In the city , she was asking everyone on her way if they knew a handsome man with a character on his forehead. Then she met a guy who said he knew that man and he was his friend. So she follow him., but he deceived her and took her in a place where no one will see them. Then there was other men. They was girl trafficker, they wanted to sell her. Then the young man (Tamahome) get there and punished them.
Episode 2
After he saved her, Miaka asked the young man if he knew where her friend, Yui, was. And he didn't know. She wanted him to help her, but he said he don't care 'cause she didn't have any money... then the emperor appeared and Miaka decided to ask a gem from the emperor for Tamahome so he'll help her. But she been a little bit impolite in front of the emperor so the soldiers was chasing her and wanted to cut her head off... and Tamahome saved her and he decided to help her. When the soldiers found them, a red light surrounded Miaka and she was about to disappeared. She saw the library and Yui. So she knew that Yui was back. Then the emperor order to arrest them. That's how they get in the dungeon...
Miaka was really hungry then she found a gum. A soldier saw her and tell her to show him what was in her mouth then she made a big bubble to show him (he was terrified.. hehhehe...) then the bubble blow up and the soldier scream saying she was a monster... (hehehe..) then he drop his keys and Tamahome cached them. When he saw Miaka's face he was terrified too. Then when they escaped, they lost each other on the way...
When Miaka realized she lost Tamahome and she was lost, she met a beautiful lady. She told her she needed to find Tamahome 'cause he'll help her to come back to her world. The young lady named Hotohori. And she told Miaka that she'll be on her side too. In the same time, Tamahome was looking for Miaka too, but he found some soldiers that chased him when they saw him. When they cached him, they asked him where the girl was, he said he didn't know. (and it was true!!) Then Miaka appear and told them to let him go! Well the soldiers cached her too! Then Hotohori appear and scream that he (yeah, He!) won't allow anyone to hurt them without his permission. When the soldiers saw him, they bow before him... Tamahome asked who it was, a soldier reply it was the emperor, Tamahome said "The real one?" Then Hotohori smile, moving his head to say "yes", then Tamahome bow... then Miaka said "Hotohori is so pretty and so young to be an emperor", Tamahome said that the emperor was a man, then Miaka go in front of the emperor to make sure if he was really a man... and his chest was "flat".
After that, the emperor asked Miaka to be Suzaku No Miko and she accepted.
Episode 3
This episode begin with Miaka who's having a dream. She dream that her big brother was there. Then she just start yelling at him that she wanna go back then he reply that he wasn't her brother. Then she wake up and founding herself after Tamahome who's keep saying that he's not her brother. The Tamahome said that he was there 'cause the emperor worried about her. Well he said he was worried about her then he hold her and tell her that if she felt that way, she just have to cry and he said he'll be a brother to her without charge. Then he held her. (Luck girl ^_^')
Then with a funny face, Tamahome said to Miaka that with the power of Suzaku maybe she could wish to come back to her world. Then Miaka get up and run through Hotohori's room. When she get in front of him, she failed. (hehehe..) Then she asked about Suzaku and Hotohori told them about Suzaku. Saying that they have to find the seven seishi of Suzaku so they can surmonded Suzaku and get Miaka's wish. Then Hotohori show them a character of his neck. (Yep ! Hotohori was a seishi also ! ^_^ ) So there was 5 seishi left.
Then to find the 5 remainding seishi, the best men academically and physically were assembled. Then Suzaku No Miko said that the men that have a character on his body to raise his hand. Well no body did... So they figured out that maybe they didn't even know they have one. Then Tamahome hit them just to see if their characters will show, well it didn't work too ^_^' Then Miaka decided to insulted them to make them mad so their characters might show. (She though that they won't hurt her 'cause she was a woman... well she was wrong) She insulted them so hard that they chassed her and a Azumaya structure collapsed on her. Her legs was blooding... Yui-chan was reading all this in the library then she realized that her legs was blooding too ! Everything that Suzaku No Miko experienced, she does too...
When she opened her eyes, Tamahome was over her and kept it up... She told him that he didn't have to do that. He said that no matter what, he'll protect her.*sigh* It was a young Lady that saved them. (She was really strong) Then Miaka realized that when he did that, she kind a have a feeling on her heart. (Yep She's in love !!) And she was wondering herself if he did that 'cause she was Suzaku No Miko or 'cause she was Miaka...
Then they found out that Muriko was a seishi too. She had the character of Willow on her chest over the heart. Miaka was really happy and thanks her for saving them than Nuriko said she did that for "him" (which is Tamahome) then she kissed him!! Miaka was really mad but she knew that she had to get along with her 'cause Nuriko was a seishi and she needed her. So miaka went to Nuriko's place (she was leaving in the emperor's place anyways) to tell her that she'll serve her. Well Nuriko was more than bitch to Miaka and give her hard time... and she was always after Tamahome.
Episode 4
This episode started in the library with Yui reading the book. Tamahome was taking care of Miaka's leg. Miaka said that if Nuriko will see that, she'll be furious. Tamahome said that Miaka was jealous 'cause he was "handsome, strong, kind and marvelous" but only like MONEY, then he made an evil laught. (Nuriko was hiding near there...)
Later, Miaka met Nuriko who looked sad. Miaka asked her what was wrong. Nuriko told her that she losted an earing that was really important to her. Then Miaka told Niriko to do not worry 'cause she'll look for it for her. Nuriko smiled and said that as a reward, she'll protect her as a seishi.
Meanwhile, Hotohori was talking with some men, they were talking about Hotohori having an empress... Then Miaka showed up and scared the men.... (hehehhe) Miaka told Hotohori that she was in her way to find something for Nuriko. Hotohori said that he hear about Nuriko and her by his servant and he'll order Nuriko to be nice with her. But Miaka said that order can't change people mind and she'll get along with her all by herself. Later Miaka get in the pond that Nuriko told her about and shearched for the earing... Then something grabed her and she couldn't move and felt in the pond... deeper and deeper... then she called Tamahome's help. Tamahome woke up feeling like Miaka called his name. (how he knew???)
At the same time, Nuriko was in her room making fun of Miaka with her servant, 'cause she was looking for an nonexistent earing. Then Tamahome opened the door and looked mad. He was about to leave to help Miaka, but Nuriko grabed him so hard that he couldn't go nowhere. Nuriko said she won't let him go to her 'cause she hated her. The emperor always ignored her, but not Miaka. (Hey ! She love Hotohori ! ^_^) Then Miaka showed up, walked toward Nuriko... Nuriko tried to make Miaka mad, but it doesn't work, so she got mad and slaped Miaka... then Miaka slaped her back. (Tamahome was so surprized) Then Miaka said that
(huh.... not complete yet.... how it get on the web ??? )
Episode 9
Miaka was dragged away from Tamahome and Nuriko by some hands. Tamahome called her name, and started running after them. Miaka was kicking, and screaming as much as she can through the hands that was muffling her. Finally she champed down on the hands and It let go of Miaka. Then
she saw a small super-deformed man sitting on ground. Then he un-super-deforms himself and said :"Biting has its merits Suzaku No Miko, especially when you are the target of assassins."The little man, super-deformed once more, pulled the kasa over his head, and slowly over his body until there is nothing left, but the kasa. Miaka picked up the kasa, and looked inside of it, searching for the man.
Then Tamahome get in the place asking her if she was all right. She told her about the weird little man and what he said. Tamahome was about to say something when a scream reached them. SO they ran back to where Nuriko was and foun him pinned to a tree by arrows. The other men were all dead... Miaka screamed, Tamahome grabed her, hugged her and covered her eyes then asked what happened to Nuriko. "It was happened right after
you went after Miaka..." *FLASHBACK* Nuriko was looking towards where Miaka was taken. Something made him turn back, and Nuriko saw a glittering in the sky. A glittering caused by arrows. Nuriko was able to doge them, but the rest of the men aren't so lucky. The arrows were aimed at where Miaka was. Miaka knew she was the target and that those people die instead of her... Then Tamahome hugged her again, and smiled as he held her close.
Later, the three of them were sitting in a house owned by a villager. Miaka was eating. With a discusting face, Nuriko said that even after a tragedy, she can still pig out. (^_^)Suddenly, the door was thrown open.It was two villagers. "Tamahome-san! Please come! There are intruders at the west gate!"
Tamahome goes super-deformed. "Do I hear the sound of money?" Nuriko and Miaka glareed at him. ^_^' He got a sly look on his face, and changed tactics. "How terrible! Nuriko-kun, take care of Miaka. Well, Bye!" Tamahome ran out, following the two villagers.
Meanwhile, Tamahome was kicking the strangers asses! In about five seconds there was a pile of bodies, with a super-deformed Tamahome standing on top of it.^_^ "30 men equals 30 mon! LUCKY!" (That isn't a lot of money... ) Back at the villager's house, the villager was explaning to Nuriko that Tamahome was a nice guy and that he do that for almost FREE. While the two were arguing Miaka realized that she didn't know why Tamahome wants the money.
The next day, Nuriko was asleep, but Miaka wasn't. She was still thinking about Tamahome, and why he needed the money. Then she heard a noise, and looked outside to see what
it was. It was Tamahome packing a horse and riding away! Miaka went to wake up Nuriko, but he didn't seem to want to wake up. So Miaka got a flashlight from her backpack, lifted up Nuriko's eyelid, and shined the light in Nuriko's eye. Nuriko woke up, and screamed.
They followed Tamahome to a village. It was Tamahome village. Then Tamahome stoped at a house... they were four children...
"NIICHAN!" They all shouted at the same time. ("Niichan" is the same thing as "oniichan" - they both mean "brother") Then we see the four of them running towards Tamahome.Tamahome walked into the house, and said "Pops, I'm home!" Miaka realized that is a
Tamahome she don't know. Tamahome sat next to a man that was lying in a bed and looked sick. His father said, "I'm glad that you care about us, but it's time that you started thinking aboutyour own happiness. Think about getting married." As he was saying this, we see Miaka and Nuriko sitting under an open window, listening in, their ears twitching. ^_^
Back to Tamahome... "Chuei, take care of the family in my place." Tamehome was about to leave... Yuiren was holding Tamahome's arm then let it go and ran up and hugged his leg.(see how short she is? So cute . ^_^ ) "Niichan! Don't go!" She cried. He kneelt down, and put his hands on her shoulder. "Tell you what Yuiren, next time I'll bring you a doll." "But I like you better, Niichan!" Tamahome took her face in his hands. "Yuiren, Niichan
will do anything for your happiness. I'll grit my teeth and do any kind of job!" Then we see all see Tamahome and his family hugging each other... "So please be a bit patient." Then we see Miaka with her eyes were vibrating and she had flashbacks of times that Tamahome had grubbed for money. "It was all for his family?" Then Miaka and Nuriko, super-deformed, both were crying. Miaka was blowing her nose, and Nuriko was chewing on a hankerchief. "Tama-chan is so heroic!" Nuriko wailed.
"Yuiren!" It wasTamahome's voice! Miaka turned around and looks towards the window.Tamahome was cradling Yuiren in his arms. Suddenly the window flied open, and Miaka jumped in.
She grabed Yuiren, and everyone around her went super-deformed and got major sweatdrops. ^_^ Miaka felt Yuiren's forehead, which was bright red, she had a cold. Miaka barked out orders to the astonished members of Tamahome's family. They obeyed instantly.
A little bit later. Yuiren had been layed out on a bed, and Miaka was a putting a wet
cloth on her head... "YOU!" It was Tamahome. Miaka's face turned blue, she went super-deformed. Miaka slowly turned around to face Tamahome. "You followed me, didn't you?" Miaka grabed the kasa that the fox-man disappeared into. Miaka pulls the kasa over her head, and tried to disappear the same way the fox-man did. "I can't disappear..." "OF COURSE YOU CAN'T!" Tamahome shouted at her. Then one of his little sister asked:"Niichan, was I right? Is this your wife?" Tamahome's face turned red, he wentsuper-deformed, and his eyes bugged out.
"Little idiot! It's not like that!" "Right! I'm on in Jr. High!" a super-deformed Miaka chimed in. Sitting next to Tamahome's father and with a very serious face, Nuriko said :" She's just saying that, but in fact.. "They've gone far enough. All the way to 'C'." ("C" means sex). Tamahome's father breathed smoke. "Don't joke with such a serious face!" Tamahome shouted at Nuriko. The shot changed to Miaka, with vibrating eyes, and in the background we see a blushing Tamahome. Then Yuiren called for her brother. Miaka told him to stay here with them and she'll go and get some water. She turned away and started walking towards the door. Tamahome stoped her. She turned around. "Thank for everything." Miaka blushed then left.
As she was running to get to the river (or something like that) A deep voice said : "That Suzaku No Miko, huh... She's out alone." Miaka was kneeling by the waterside, looking at her reflection. She smiled, felt like she was Tamahome's wife. Then said she was a fool 'cause she can't even be his girlfriend. Miaka pulled back, closes her eyes, and turned away from the water. "He exists only the book." Then she told herself to stop thinking about 'cause she was in a hurry
to find the remaining 4 seishi and located Yui-chan. Then a shadow fell over Miaka's back. She turned around, startled. There was a man. "You're Suzaku No Miko?"
Back in the library, Keisuke was still reading the book. "At the brookside, someone spoke to Suzaku No Miko. It was an assassin." Keisuke read the lines from the book, taking a few seconds to react. "ASSASSIN!" He shoutes at the book, sweating. Then Tamahome jumped, "Miaka!" he shouted (Keisuke yelled that loud ???), running out of his house, leaving Nuriko and his family puzzled.
Back to Miaka... The man swigged his scythe again and again to kill Miaka, but he always missed. Miaka had run outof room to dodge. She had her back stuck up against a tree. The man smiled, and brought the scythe up for one more swing.
DOWN...Down, until a hand caught the edge! It was... Tamahome! Tamahome elbowed the assassin who went down, and jumped in front of Miaka, in a fighting stance.
From behind, a second man, wrapped in a black cape, jumped out of the bushes. He hited the ground between Miaka and Tamahome with his hand,seperating the two. Miaka and Tamahome shielded themselves from the wind of the blast. The man in the cape advanced on Miaka. Then from Miaka's back, two hands made some mouvement and a yellow chi blasts hit the man in the cap,
knocking him away from Miaka. Then the two assassins flee.
The hands came from inside the kasa! The kasa untied itself, and floated off of Miaka's back. It landed gently on the ground. A man floats out. Tamahome grabsed Miaka, trying to protect her. It was the fox-faced man. Tamahome asked him who was he and if he was human. The man grimaced: "Don't be rude no da. I'm a wanderer no da."
Later, the three of them were walking down the road towards Tamahome's home. Miaka thanks the man. He glanced back, and took off his kasa and said that it was a bit too soon to say that. "Suzaku No Miko, make your actions responsible ones." he continued. Miaka's face dropped a little, and she blinked. The man hit his staff against the ground, making the rings jingled. "Otherwise...There will be victims because of you na no da."
Then... "AAAAAAAH!" It was a scream. Tamahome and Miaka were startles. "NIIICAHN!!!!!" ThenTamahome just ran towards his house.Miaka dropped the water pail. "See what I mean no da?" The man said, as he put on his kasa. Miaka brought her hand to her mouth. "Victims? On no! Because of me...Because of me...Tamahome's family..." Then Miaka just started running as Tamahome did... The man reached out, and tried to stop her. "WAIT NO DA!"
"Niichan!" The children screamed for Tamahome. Tamahome finally get into the house, and opened the door.
Then Miaka get there too, she took a look and sreamed. Nuriko, Tamahome's siblings, and Tamahome's father were all strung up in some kind of webbing. Then the man with the cape stood up, Tamahome jumped for him, but the man threw more of the webbing stuff at him, and he was caught as well. Now Miaka was alone. "If you want to save them, then you'll be killed by me." said the cape man. "So come over here." Miaka looked around. "Small children...And a sick man..." Miaka walked towards the cape man. Suddenly a staff appeared in front of her, stopping her. The fox-man took his beaded necklace in his hand, concentrated, and suddenly everyone were untied from the webbing. The assassin was surprised, but he took out throwing knives, and aimed at the fox-man and Miaka. "TAKE THIS NO DA!" The fox-man twirled his staff, flinging the knives away. Then character appears on his knee!
Tamahome was comforting his younger siblings. The assassin used that moment to escape, but hewas grabbed by Nuriko and tried to make him talk. Tamahome and the fox-man both looked up. "WATCH OUT!" Tamahome shouted. Both the fox-man and Tamahome dived and protected Miaka from the incoming arrows which slam into the assassin's body. "Good job Tamahome-kun!"
The fox-man said. Nuriko went super-deformed and get mad at the two. "You two! WHY DON'T YOU PROTECT ME?" The broke an arrow in his arm. The assassin started to laugh. "You'll see...If we find Seiryuu No Miko...this country will be..." then he die.
A while later, Nuriko, Miaka, and the fox-man were outside. The fox-man introduced himself. "I'm Chichiri no da, I am not a fox no da." The skin on his face was coming off... Chichiri pulled his face off (it was a mask) to reveal another exactly like it underneath. Miaka fell over. "What a weirdo..." Back in the house, Tamahome was comforting his family. Miaka walked in, and apologized. "I'm sorry, this is all because of me." Tamahome's father reassured her, "It's very gracious of Suzaku No Miko to visit such a run down house." "But..." Miaka interrupted. "Don't worry. It wasn't your fault." Tamahome pitched in.
Later, the four of them was around a table. Then Chichiri said that knows that Kounan has Suzaku No Miko, and is desperatly looking for Seiryuu No Miko."But to look for a Miko..."Miaka said,
"Girls from the other world can't be everywhere!" Suddenly she stoped, and brought her hands to her mouth. "Yui-chan!" Miaka thought. "If Yui-chan were found in Kutou...she could be made into Seiryuu No Miko... We'd be enemies!" Miaka stood up with an innocent face. "I've got something to do! I'm going out for a bit." She ran out of Tamahome's house, leaving Tamahome, Nuriko, and Chichiri staring after her.
In the library, Keisuke read thebook. "Suzaku No Miko planned to go to Kutou, knowing that she wouldn't have the protection of the seishi..."
Episode 13
This episode started with Miaka's brother reading the book in the library. Then we see Tamahome and Miaka in each other arms. Tamahome felt something strange in a room. Some chi. Hotohori entered the room saying to be careful. Then a voice was hear. The voice said "It well know that we've (his an agent of Kutou) invaded several villages in Konan country and currently occupy them. However, give up one seishi, Tamahome, to Kutou and we will invade no more village." Then Nuriko and Chichiri entered the room and Chichiri found where the agent hid , but he escaped. Miaka begged Tamahome to stay here. Hotohori told Tamahome to do not worry about that and to stay there.
Later in Miaka's room, Tamahome was sitting next to Miaka's bed saying to do not worry 'cause he'll stay here to watch over her. Then Miaka fell asleep holding Tamahome's arms so hard. (With a funny face he said she was untrusting) While she was sleeping, Tamahome was thinking... then he gave Miaka's a kiss and left. The Kutou's soldiers was out side, waiting for him. He ask it the country will be save now, they said they'll keep their promises so they led Tamahome to Kutou country.
In the morning, when Miaka woke up, she was searching for Tamahome. Then she met Hotohori and told him that Tamahome is gone and that he left a message in her book, but she couldn't read it 'cause she don't understand the characters and asked him to read it for her. The message was saying "Miaka, Tamahome is not around anymore. He went to Kutou country. Then asks you to find the other 3 seishis. When they're all gathered, I'll be back." Miaka said that it must be a mistake 'cause Tamahome said he'll stay... and asked him to read it again. Hotohori bend his head. Then she just left sadly, saying that Tamahome was a liar.
Later, Miaka told Hotohori that she'll go find the other seishis. Miaka had a mirror with her and she explained as the "The Universe of the Four Gods" was left in Kutou, that mirror will replace it. When they'll get near a seishi, they'll know. So Miaka left with Muriko and Chichiri. Hotohori looked upset. While they were close to some mountain, the mirror showed a character. Nuriko said that there a lot of Bandits up there. Miaka said to do not worry 'cause Chichiri was there with them . Then she looked behind... Chichiri wasn't there anymore.
Well Chichiri returned to Hotohori 'cause he seems to have hard time. Hotohori said that as Tamahome let himself be taken to Kutou for the sake of the country, he can't even protect Miaka in Tamahome's place. Chichiri said that he'll take his place for a while. Then he transformed himself in a fake Hotohori. Hotohori was so happy, he was about to thanks him then he kind a get mad and said "I am FAR more beautiful that you! I have longer slips of outer corner of my eyes, my nose ridge is shaper. You're not seductive looking enough, change yourself over again." Chichiri reply that he can't improve anymore ! ^_^'
Meanwhile, Miaka and Nuriko was in a restaurant and Miaka was ordering a lot of food...Miaka said that Chichiri will miss all the good food. Nuriko replied to do not be so cheerful 'cause she worried about Tamahome. Miaka said it was "all right". Nuriko get mad and broke the table... ^_^ When the food arrived, Nuriko saw some suspicious men behind them. Then Nuriko said to Miaka to do not eat anything, but it was too late 'cause she ate everything already. (Even Nuriko's) Then Miaka's felt and the men just attacted them telling them to give them their money. Nuriko bitted them with some Hotohori's help. Then Miaka said that she ate so fast that it got cought in her throot. ^_^'
Later, they were in some wood and Hotohori was alone with Miaka, they were talking. Hotohori handed her the last part of Tamahome's letter. It was saying "I love you". Hotohori explained to her that Tamahome went to Kutou country for his country, his family and his love, which is Miaka. Then Miaka started to cry and Hotohori hold her in his arms. Nuriko was hiding near there behind a tree. Miaka looked at Hotohori and his eyes was like crying... (Nuriko's too) He was about to kiss her but she stopped him. Then he said that he kew that he's not the one she cared for, but he loved her. He loved her since the first moment they met. Then Miaka ran away and a kind of big trunk headed for Miaka... But Hotohori jumped over her to protect her, Nuriko ran to helped them, but they were another one for him... that's how they were captured by bandits.
When they woke up, they were in a room and they were tied up. Hotohori's arm was blooding. Mika felt sorry 'cause she knew he got that by tried to help her. Then a group of guys entered the room introducted themself as Mt.Leikoku bandits. Then Miaka just remembered the character in the mirror when they passed near the mountain so she just figured out that one of the bandits might be a seishi. So she just start jumping on them and pulled out some part of their clothes. (To see if they have a character on their body) Then another guy enter the room saying he's coming to grab a girl for the learder and he choosed Miaka. The two others stayed there and was suposed to served them some drinks. Well they though they were all girls. ^_^
Whileas at Kutou country, Tamahome was in the palace, sitting on the floor... The Nakago showed up. Tamahome asked him why he did that, he replied "To comfort Yui-sama." and he liked him 'cause he was the first guy whoever hit him.
Tamahome replied that it only mean that he's not good. So Nakago slaped him. Then Yui appeared and told him to stop. She ran to Tamahome and clean his injury. Then she order everybody to leave them alone. (Yui and Tamahome) Then Yui apologized for Nakago. Tamahome said it was OK 'cause she was forced to become Seiryuu No Miko and he'll help her to get out of this situation. Then said that when Miaka will find the other seishi, they'll take the book back and go to Konan. Then Yui just smile for herself (an evil smile) and said (to helself too) "Miaka, no matter what you do, nothing will pay off. I'll neveer allow Tamahome to return to you."
Episode 17
The seishi and Miaka were sleeping in an abandoned mill in some swamp. Miaka was reciting out loud her history lessons, and Nuriko woke up and told her to shut the hell up 'cause everyone's trying to sleep! "But it's easier to study if you recite out loud! I may be Suzaku No Miko but I'm still a high school examiner!" Nuriko gave up and went back to sleep.Then the music of a flute was heard wafting through the swamp. Miaka heard the music, and woke up Nuriko to hear it too, but he said he can't hear it and told her to go to bed. Miaka was wondering why she was the only one who can hear the flute.
The next day, the seishi were all on foot except for Hotohori and Miaka, who were riding the only horse. Miaka kept saying that she heard a flute, and Hotohori said : "If Miaka said she heard it, she heard it!" Then they got to a village, it was Tamahome's village ! They remembered that it was where they found Chichiri. Miaka was thinking about Tamahome's family, then she remembered that Tamahome's father was sick, she grabed Mitsukake by the hand and raced into the village. As they were running, they pass Chuei, Tamahome's brother, running around and looking for a doctor. Then he saw Miaka and said: "Miko-sama! It's you! PLEASE help me! My father's in a LOT of pain, and all the doctors can't help!" Mitsukake kneelt down and told him, "Don't worry, son. Where's your father?"
Tamahome's father was lying on the bed, looking very ill. Mitsukake held his hand over him, and the nifty character starts glowing. After a few minutes, Tama's father's eyes opened slowly. "Where am I?" Chuei was so happy, but Mitsukake looked really and groaned. Miaka asked him if he was all right, and he said yes, he just needed to rest a little bit 'cause he can only heal people once a day. Chuei ran back with some money, but Mitsukake refused it. He said he prefer that his father had some fresh fish and he asked some for Tama-neko too. Then Chuei ran as fast as he can and the other seishi enter the house.
Little Yuiren tugged on Miaka's arm and asked, "Where's Oniichan?" Miaka sweatdrops and pretended to be asleep, but Tasuki whacked her upside the head with his fan and told her not to pretend she's sleeping! ^_^ Hotohori looked around at Tamahome's small house. "I never imagined such a small, dirty, wretchedly poor family existed... I MUST better politics to help even the poorest of people!"
Then Yuiren came up and tugged on Hotohori's coat. "What is it, child?" he asked. "Young Lady, are you my Oniichan's wife?" she said. "Oh but I'm a MAN, little one." he replied. "But you're too beautiful!" Hotohori loved this and hugged Yuiren, saying about how the young ones were always so honest. Tasuki and Miaka watched with enormous sweatdrops.
"I got the fish!" Chuei was at the door, his hair down like Tamahome's instead of up in the bun. Miaka apparently thought he looks a LOT like Tamahome and jumped over Chuei, yelling, "TAMAHOME!" "I'm CHUEI! CHUEI!", he said. "Oh. Heh heh. Sorry!" ^_^' Chuei apparently caught the fish in the river instead of buying them. Nuriko though how everyone in his family was so careful with their money, and how Chuei looked so much like Tamahome.
Later,Miaka was brushing her teeth and looked out the window. Hundreds of bats with glowing red eyes were hanging upside down from the tree outside. Miaka asked Nuriko, "Is this normal? Look at all the bats!" A blackrobed figure outside saw her in the window and said, "FOUND you, Suzaku No Miko!" Miaka was awakened by the sound of the flute again. She poked Nuriko, but Nuriko said he didn't hear anything!
So Miaka got up and went outside to see what it is, and was confronted by the wall of bats. The bats flew down and started attacking her, biting her. Miaka thought that if she doesn't get away from Tamahome's house, she'll endanger his family AGAIN! So she ran off into the forest. Hotohori and Tasuki, still half-asleep, heard her yelling and chased after her into the forest. Miaka, triped over something and fell, and the bats latch into her, biting her. She screamed, and Hotohori ran up, swiping at the bats with his sword. His sword didn't do much damage so he told Tasuki, "It's up to you!" So Tasuki got his fan and "Lekka! Shien!" No matter how many bats he roasted, more came and attacked both the seishi as well. The assassin in the tree laught, telling the bats to kill both Miko and her seishi.
All of a sudden everyone heard some eerie flute music. The bats, too, seem to be confused by the music, let go of their prey, and started smacking into trees as if the music was confusing or hurting them. The Kutou assassinwas astonished by this. Then the tune changed, becoming high-pitched and painful. The assassin screamed and held his head. The music shroll higher and higher. Then the flue player appeard. The music hit some unbearably high note, and the assassin's eyes rolled back in his head. He fell out of the tree, dead, startling the Suzaku people. The flutist walked over to the Suzaku people. Miaka said, "So it was you who was playing!" The boy noded, and fell to the ground. The seishi rushed over to him, and noticed a red character on his ankle... he' was a seishi! The boy said, "My name's Chiriko. My parents were killed in that burning village over there." This upseted Hotohori, and Miaka stared up at the sky. "We found the last one, Tamahome!"
Nakago was standing in a darkened room with a birdcage. "So they've found the last one." He took the little canary out of its cage and hekd it in one fist. "But they won't find it so easy from now on." He clenched his fist, and the bird's singing abruptly stoped. He smiled as a few yellow feathers drift to the floor.
The next morning, the seishi were all taking leave of Tamahome's family. Yuiren had latched onto Miaka's legs and won't let go. "I WANNA GO WITH ONIICHAN'S WIFE!" ^_^ She was getting hysterical as Chuei tried to pry her off. Chiriko watched this, then started playing a very soft, peaceful tune. Yuiren all of a sudden slumped to the ground, and Tasuki smacked Chiriko, asking him why he was messing with the little girl's mind. "She's asleep!" Tasuki sweatdrops and fell over, and Chiriko explained he put her to sleep, and she'll have pleasant dreams. The seishi all ride off.
Chichiri (well, a superdeformed still Hotohori ^_^) was lying on his back, waving his feet in the air. "I am SO bored, no daaaa.....I wish they'd come back, no daa....." One of the vassals surprised him and told him that Miko and all the seishi have returned! "Hotohori" vanished in a poof of smoke, scaring the bejeezus out of the poor vassal. Chichiri, as Hotohori, zoomed down the hall, and poofed back to his normal form, holding hands and jumping up and down with Miaka. Tasuki freaked out, and said, "What the hell is THAT???" ^_^'
The seishi were standing outside, and Chiriko wondere where Hotohori waas gone. Nuriko said, "You mean you don't know?? He's.." Then Hotohori, in full goofy royal uniform interrupted him. The seishi who didn't know that he was the emperor stared at him in complete shock. Tasuki yelled, "THE EM-PER-OR???"
They were eating dinner, and Tasuki was nervous because he had been rude to the emperor. Hotohori, who was enjoying this, says that it was okay, they were all seishi together. Miaka said, "What about summoning Suzaku?" Hotohori said, "Well, the details of the ceremony are partially in my mind. But first we need to get Tamahome back." Miaka said she'll go back to Kutou and get the scroll AND Tamahome. Chichiri cheerfully piped up, "I'll go with her, no daa!" Chichiri said that first they should contact Tamahome in Kutou, to set up a meeting place and to give him some warning. Miaka said, "We can DO that?" Chichiri nodded, and told Miaka to get ready, he'll make the necessary arrangements.
Tamahome was staring out the window, when he heard Chichiri's voice. "Tamahome-kun! Can you hear me?"
Nakago was walking around, and stoped. "I sense the chi of a Suzaku seishi. They're up to something."
Miaka was getting ready then ran down the hallway to where Chichiri was. Tasuki, Nuriko, and Hotohori watched her go. Tasuki yells, "Hey MIAKA!", but Hotohori told him to let her be, she had been looking forward to talking to Tamahome for so long.
Tasuki got very confused. "Wait a second! I don't get it! I was POSITIVE the emperor and Miaka were in love! Wait! Could it be.....A LOVE TRIANGLE???" Nuriko smacked Tasuki into a wall and told Hotohori to ignore "the insensitive jerk." Hotohori looked at Miaka running and thoughht, "Good for you, Miaka!"
Chichiri was standing in front of a folding screen. "There you are! Sheesh. Women take so long to get ready, no daaaa..." he told Miaka that he warned Tamahome that they're gonna contact him. He placed a ward on the folding screen and started whispering some spell. "This has a time limit so get right to the point!" The screen faded out, replaced by a familiar silhouette....
Episode 50
Miaka was running into the fire to for Tamahome. In that time, Tamahome was fighting with Nakago and was not doing very well against him. Tamahome was a normale human after all. Nakago was just playing around with Tamahome. Meanwhile, Keisuke, was reading "The Universe of the Four Gods," tried to follow after Miaka, but the crowd carried him away. Then Miaka found Yui, but can't reach her because of a blue shield that Nakago put.
Then we see Tamahome, blowned away by Nakago, apologized to Miaka for not being able to protect her, and flied through a store window, falling in a bed of glass shards... ;_; Later, Nakago appeared out of the fire before Miaka and Yui, and Miaka asked "What happened to Tamahome?" Miaka wouldn't believe that Tamahome was dead... Miaka and Yui now have to face Nakago alone. Keisuke was reading the book, crying and saying: "The hero can't die!" Keisuke told Tetsuya that he'll call Tasuki and Chichiri to help out. So he opened the book and called them saying he was Miaka's brother, then hee asked them to come here and help Miaka. By holding Miaka's bag and hoping very hard to be at Tokyo, they will be there.
Back to Nakago, Yui and Miaka... Nakago asked Yui for eternal life and a god's power, because she promised him her last wish. She didn't want to so he started pelting Miaka with stones until Yui told him to stop. Yui told Miaka that she understood now and if she knew before she wouldn't be such a bitch to her... (she said it that way, not me ! ) then said that she knew Miaka even better than Tamahome does 'cause they grew up together. Then she said: "bye-bye," and then "kai-jin!". (That part was so sad 'cause they finally make up, but Yui will make her last wish and will be eaten by the big Dragon ;_;) Seiryuu (the dragon) appeared in the sky. (Don't forget they're at Tokyo, so imagine a huge blue dragon in the sky !!! )Miaka ran at Nakago, but was repelled by his shield. Just as Nakago was about to kill Miaka, Tasuki and Chichiri showed up.
In Miaka's unconscious state, Yui appeared before her...
Episode 51
This episode started with Tasuki and Chichiri trying to beat Nakago even though they turned into nrmale human. Nakago said he'll soon be a god, but Tasuki said he'll still fight him, for Chiriko, Nuriko, and the others. Chichiri standed in front of him to fight. Chichiri was on the right, Tasuki was on the left, and Tasuki said after they're done, they'll go have a drink. Suddenly, Miaka started reciting the call to Suzaku, glowing with a red light. The Suzaku Seishi symbols showed on her body, she lifted her head and the "oni" symbol of Tamahome blazes on her forehead... Yui's last wish was to give Miaka the power to call Suzaku.
Suzaku (a big bird) appeared to fight Seiryuu in the sky above Tokyo. Keisuke and Tetsuya were running over to see what's going on. Keisuke told Tetsuya that he can go back, and Tetsuya was about to, then he yelled, "I'm a character in the Shijin Tenchisho too!!" The he raced forward. Now all the seishi have their power back. (Well for the one that left... ) Tasuki and Chichiri were destroying buildings left and right, too.
Miaka spoke with Suzakusei-kun, and wished for Yui to be given back to her. A red light blasted Seiryuu, and a naked Yui floated down in a blue bubble. Miaka told Yui it's all right, but Miaka's gonna scold her later. Yui smiled and said she deserved a scolding, so she'll just have to take it.Tetsuya ran to break Yui's fall, explaining that he wanted to get his name in the book .(This is also the first time you see him without his sunglasses... well kind a ^_^) Nakago blasts back Chichiri and Tasuki, and they fall by Miaka. Miaka crumpled over, the wish took a lot out of her, but she said she won't be beaten. Nakago said the next one may kill her, and two slits appeared on the back of her uniform as if wings were forming. A big block was going to fall on Miaka, but Nuriko hold it back to save her... (Nuriko ?? My fav one ?? Yahoo !! ^_^ ) Hotohori, Mitsukake, and Chiriko also showed up, then Hotohori asks where Tamahome were...
Tamahome was in a little white church, ready to get married to Miaka, all the seishi and his siblings are there, along with Keisuke and Tetsuya. Tamahome found his father and they talked. His father said to listen carefully, someone was calling him, and that he had to go back to that place, it' was better. His family said good-bye, and his father told him to go to that young woman...
Nakago was blasting at the seishi, but Chichiri's staff is blocking most of the blows. Seiryuu's kicking Suzaku's ass. All of a sudden a figure came out of the smoke and blasted him.
"NAKAGO!" Tamahome yelled.
Keisuke read, "The final battle has begun."
Episode 52
This last episode started with the Japanese Air Force was being sent out 'cause Seiryuu was destroying the city and Nakago was beating Tamahome. The seishi gave Tamahome their power, and he went Super Oni, but Nakago remained unscathed. Then Chiriko told Miaka that Seiryuu can be sealed in the scroll, and Miaka made that her second wish even though she knew she could die. Just after Nakago's "ji"(character) disappeared from his forehead, Tamahome punched right through him, and started to see Nakago's past...
He saw a little blond boy holding his mother's hand and staring out at the sea and wondering why the other people was whispering bad things about them. Then Koutou began its extermination campaign. People were being slaughtered all over the place. Little Nakago watched, horrified, as some Koutou soldiers rape his mother. Nakago screamed in anger and fear, and a character lighted up his forehead, blasting the place with blue light. Then he was brought to the Kutou emperor's court, and was sexually abused by the emperor.Young Nakago thinks to himself, "By the time Seiryuu No Miko comes..."
Now Nakago is Shogun again. "...I will be able to use my powers properly. I will use them to destroy the heaven which has given me nothing but hell."
Blood dripped out of the real-time Nakago's mouth. "You shouldn't read other people's minds." He looked very tired and very sad. "I'm ashamed to have been beaten by someone as soft-hearted as you." Tamahome said something about how it wasn't really a fair fight. Nakago frowned. "Yes it was. The strong won." He took his free hand and lifts Tamahome's head by the hair. Tamahome had tears in his eyes. Nakago sighed and closed his eyes. Then We heard a boy's voice laughing. "Mother! Mother!" Then his body faded completely away around Tamahome's arm.
Nakago died, and Tamahome understood why he was the way he was. Tamahome walked back to Miaka and huged her. He looked at the rest of the seishi in confusion. Then Taiitsukun poked her head in front of Tamahome's. He screamed, and she said irritably, "You ought to get used to this!" The dead seishi glow, and turn into ghosts. Several Nyan-Nyan appear. The Nyan-Nyan lent the spirits of the seishi their bodies. Then she told them that Koutou had been completely destroyed and people were banding together and will build a new country.The seishi discussed what Miaka's last wish should be (The Nyan-Nyan said to wish to fix Taiitsukun's face! ^_^), but without telling them she made her last wish: to make the world the way it was before.
Miaka thanked everyone to think about them, but had to fix things, had to go take her exam and everyone had taught her what was important. Taiitsu-kun and Nyan Nyan show their true forms, and "The Universe of the Four Gods" is whisked away from Keisuke's hand.Miaka said her good-byes to everyone, then she and Tamahome had one last kiss (this scene made me cry ;_;) They were holding each other so tigh... tighter and tighter...'cause they didn't want to let go, but Tamahome disappeared... Miaka turned to Keisuke and says that "The Universe of the Four Gods" was the greatest book she ever read.
Later, in her room, Miaka read the letter Tamahome had written to her; he says someday he'll find her again. Miaka got into Yoppadai High, Yui went there too, in the next class. Then they realize they carry everyone inside them... in their memories. Then Keisuke appeared from no were and had someone he wanted Miaka to meet -- a transfer student who remembered his past life. He was born for only one girl, and he was a member of the seven who protected her. They were separated, but he vowed to find her again. Miaka looks at Tetsuya, and beyond him someone appears -- it's Tamahome!! Miaka starts to cry as he lifts his hand to reveal the ring on his finger and said : "Finally," he says, "I've found you." (Wow, just typing it, it still make me drop some tears ;_; )
A red feather floated down by the phrase, "Wo Ai Ni."
The book's pages fluttered, and it shouted.
THE END--
