The Seven Seishi Of Suzaku
- Miaka is dreaming that her brother is calling her name. She grabs his hand and begs him to take her back to her world, but realizes that it is Tamahome that she is talking to.
- Tama says that she seems depressed and that the Emperor is worried about her.
- Hotohori admires himself in a mirror and says that he is so beautiful, it's scary. (how modest of him)
- Tama informs Miaka that she is big news all around Konan. He also says that he can live in the palace now that the Miko has appeared.
- Miaka goes on about how she wants fresh underwear, and Tama embraces her and says it's okay to cry. Miaka is surprised, yet content in the arms of Tamahome. Tama then says that the power of Suzaku could return Miaka home. Excited about this idea, she runs off to talk to the Emperor. (falling flat on her face along the way)
- She asks how to get the power of Suzaku. Hotohori takes out a scroll that was given to the first emperor, Lord Taiso, called "The Universe Of Four Gods". He explains that the four Gods are 28 constellations, which are divided by East, West, South, and North, each having 7 constellations. In the southern sky is Suzaku, and it's 7 constellations (seishi, guardians, protectors, whatever you wanna call them) are named Chichiri, Tamahome, Nuriko, Hotohori, Chiriko, Tasuki, and Mitsukake.
- Hotohori reveals a character on his neck and says he is Hotohori, the sea snake. Tamahome is the crab, and the protector the the Miko. They realize that they need to find the other 5 seishi to get the power of Suzaku.
- The best men are assembled to see if any of them are seishi. Tama decides to test them, but just winds up beating the crap out of them.
- Nearby, 2 women are watching what is going on. One of the women, Lady Korin, observes that the Miko is close to the Emperor. She also observes Tamahome.
- Miaka insults the men to get them angry, cause she believes that a strong man will never attack a girl. Unfortunitly, after going to far by calling them Won-Ton guys, all the men get pissed and run after her. One of the men throws a hammer, which hits a structure causing it to collapse on Miaka. Tama runs to save her.
- As Yui is reading, blood appears on her leg. She realizes that what the Miko experiences, she experiences also!
- All the men are knocked out, so Hotohori attempts to take the debris away to rescue Tama and Miaka. Lady Korin appears and says to let her take care of everything.
- Tama struggles to hold up the structure from crushing Miaka, but is getting weaker. When Tama is about it pass out, Lady Korin simply lifts the huge pieces of debris and throws them behind her and save Miaka and Tama.
- As they get their wounds tended to, Hotohori commends Tama on how he protected her. Miaka doesn't understand why he risked his life for her and scolds him. All he says is "I do what i want to. Sooner of later, you'll have to reward me Miaka." Miaka thinks to herself, "Did he do that cause I am the Miko? Or is it because..........."
- Hotohori notices a character on Lady Korin's chest. She reveals that she is Nuriko. Excited they have found the 3rd one, Miaka greets Nuriko, who snubs her and goes over to Tamahome. She says that she wanted to help HIM and kisses him!!!
- In her room, Miaka washes her clothes and wonders why Nuriko kissed Tama. She realizes that she has to get along with Nuriko in order to summon Suzaku.
- Miaka takes off her bra to wash it, and Tamahome happens to walk at the same time!!! Turns out he's running away from Nuriko, who then comes in and drags Tama off with her.
- To get her respect, Miaka decides to become Nuriko's personal maid. Nuriko, who is major bitch to Miaka the whole time, orders her to do her hair and clean her floor. To make matters worse, she is all over Tamahome, which makes Miaka fit to be tied.
- Later, Miaka and Tamahome (who escapes from Nuriko for the time being) talk outside the palace. She points out that he is loved by a beautiful lady, but he says that he isn't happy about it. Miaka trips and falls, hurting her leg even more, and Tama tends to it.
