Episode 9
: Invisible Enemies
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..."
