Chuei
- Name: Sou Chuei
- Age: 13 or slightly younger???
- Hair Color: Blue
- Chuei is Tamahome's oldest little brother. While Niichan is away, Chuei is the man of his house, because their father is very sick. He, like Tamahome tries very hard to watch his younger siblings (Yuiren, Shunkei, Gyokulen), take care of the fields and care for his ailing father. Chuei is the splitting image of a younger Tamahome, and Miaka often mistakes him for Tamahome, much to Chuei's embarrassment, and much to our comedic delight. Unfortunately, not all goes well for Chuei and his family, highlight to read - ***major spoiler*** only read if you have seen ep. 25-26: After Amiboshi fakes his drowning in the river, Suboshi, assuming he is dead goes on a revenge rampage. His target, unfortunately, is Tamahome's young family. Chuei was killed by Suboshi while he bravely tried to protect his younger siblings from the cruel attack by wielding a butcher knife. Suboshi was far too strong for him, and the entire family perishes before Tamahome knows what has happened. Only little Yuiren hangs on to see Niichan come home, only to pass peacefully in his arms.

Together they are guarding the Shinzaho, a treasure which Genbu no Miko (right) was wearing when she called Genbu, the green turtle. You can read more about Genbu no Miko under Tomite's profile

They give her a test, but I can't tell you what happens. These two are very protective of their Miko's Shinzaho. Tetsuya and Keisuke research Genbu no Miko to find out what ever happened to her the following is the story they get. Highlight the rest to read, as this is a fairly large spoiler. Genbu no Miko is Okuda Takiko. Okuda Einosuke, her father was the first to bring 'Four Gods Sky and Earth' to Japan. When he did, Takiko was soon absorbed into the book and became the Genbu no Miko. Einosuke was an author and a researcher, he discovered a terrible secret behind becoming the Miko. Once the god is called, the miko is absorbed by the deity. With this discovery, Einosuke murdered his daughter then commited suicide. This greatly worries Tetsuya and Keisuke, but as you well know, Miaka is more capable then we think.

When Tatara is killed in the book, she too passes silently in her sleep. What Keisuke sees next is almost beyond belief.
