"The cave is dark and cold, and so are his intentions. All hope slowly slip away from my great expectations of being with Tamahome. I feel like my soul is drowning in my own ocean of sorrow. My dreams are now shattered into pieces! I am no longer worthy to be called the Maiden of Suzaku and then become my beloved’s bride. To be stripped of my clothes and innocence is to be stripped of my dignity. I failed as a good friend of Yui, as a priestess of the mantle of Suzaku, and now, as a wife of Tamahome. I have lost everything: my best friend, my family, my mission, and now my lover. So must I have to stare at my own self who is now standing above me with her foot tapping, arms folded across her chest and face frowning?"
Nakago, who is in Miaka’s body, interrupts her pondering, "Aren’t you done yet? Let me remind you that you are still in ‘my’ body. Do me a favor and stop making me look bad! ‘My soul is drowning in my own ocean of sorrow’? ‘My dreams are now shattered into pieces’? Not to mention, you sounded so corny back there! And goodness, ‘I failed as a wife of Tamahome’?!! Ugh! I can’t believe I actually heard my self said that!"
Miaka, who is in Nakago’s body, gets angered by what he just said and challenges him, "Eat my shorts! What are you doing all this time standing there anyway? I thought you said you’re gonna take advantage of the situation here and take away my virginity!"
"I didn’t say that. The narrator did- in chapter 4 to be exact."
"Uh, yeah, right. So c’mon! Why don’t you do your stuff already? I’m waiting!"
Nakago is surprised of what he just heard her say, "o_O; Huh? But you just mentioned earlier about your dreams of marrying Tamahome and..."
"So what about it?!!"
He then sported a devilish grin and said, "I should tell this to Tamahome. You’re gonna be in big trouble!"
"No, please! I-I was only kidding. Really. I didn’t mean what I said," Miaka kneels beside him, holds his lower limb tightly in her arms, and pleads.
"Well, even if you did mean what you just said, *stares down at Miaka who is now looking precisely like him*... (gulp!) little girl, I still would be having shivers doing it. Besides, I can’t imagine my self actually doing it with someone who looks exactly me!"
"So you’re gonna let me go?"
"No!" Nakago forcefully answers. "You think I’m stupid? Shivers aside, I’m gonna take advantage of this opportunity while everyone out there is busy fighting off Miboshi’s minions."
"Fighting Miboshi’s minions? You’re telling me that everyone out there is now in grave danger?"
"Everything should go according to plan. I intentionally left Miboshi all by himself. Right now, he should already be looking for me to give him his daily bathing session. *Blush* you very well know how kids are. And I’m definitely aware that Miboshi could be such a spoiled brat. What Miboshi wants, Miboshi gets. Whenever I’m nowhere to be found, and he doesn’t get his bath, he’ll belt out with those monsters like hell, leaving your friends- and the others for that matter- in total distress!"
"You- you’re such a bad man! You don’t even care about your fellow Seiryuu seishi’s welfare!"
"Ah, but being bad has never felt this good!" he then used more of his powers to telekinetically force Miaka to lye on the floor. Nakago bends closer above her to grasp her face (or is it his face?) with his mighty hand (or is it Miaka’s hand?). "Miaka, I have taken my armor off and let my guard down in anticipation of this. I expect you make this worthwhile." O I just love that part of the series when Nakago said these lines! *Nakago’s eyes are glaring at the narrator for a moment.* "Ahem, now hold still while I... wait a minute. *Wince* what’s that strange sensation I just felt? And it’s kind of painful too. *Wince again* Ah, here we go again!"
And because of this, the hold of his chi that froze Miaka’s movement becomes weaker and weaker, thereby allowing her to move freely once again. As Nakago curled-up beside her while enduring the weird pain he’s never felt when he was still in his original body, Miaka sits beside him to observe his critical condition.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"I don’t need your help!"
"O come on now, you’re definitely going to need a female’s touch at this one. Look," she points to a spot on his skirt (Nakago should be in skirts right now because he’s still in Miaka’s body).
Nakago sits up, turns around and examines a certain area of his skirt to look at the spot closer.
"It’s a stain, and it’s red. A red stain!"
Duh!
*Nakago glares at the narrator again, picks up a stone and throws it at the poor author’s head. Ouch! Hey, I’m seeing stars dancing around me!*
"Miaka, what is the meaning of this?!!"
"Nakago, I hate to ruin your pleasantries and all, but I’m afraid you can’t ‘consummate’ your plot on me this time," Miaka delightfully smiles.
"Why is that?!!" Nakago frustratingly asked.
"Because it’s now your monthly period, silly! It’s a girl thing."
"You mean to say... monthly menstruation?"
"Absolutely right! Haven’t you ever wondered why Yui always gets cranky in that time of the month? I suppose maybe you have noticed this with Soi as well. That’s called premenstrual syndrome, or PMS for short. It’s a girl thing too."
"This isn’t getting any worse!"
"But don’t despair! I’ll help you find a pad and I’ll teach you how to use it."
"No!"
"Oh I fully understand how you feel. What you’re feeling right now is definitely PMS. We share the same sentiments when it comes to matters like this. And by the way, it’s not advisable to take a bath while you’re having your period."
"AAaaaaahhh!!!......."
".........Aaaaaahhh!!! MIAKAAAAAHH!!!" Meanwhile, Tamahome, who is in Yui’s body, isn’t quite done screaming Miaka’s name yet.
"Hihihi. Seiryuu no Miko really looks so funny," Miboshi, who is in Mitsukake’s body, amusingly ogles at Tamahome while splashing water inside an inflatable pool Tomo had provided. Considering the fact that Tomo’s from ancient China, we’ll never know where he got it.
Nearest to the inflatable pool is little bald Mitsukake who is now soaking wet, "Would you stop splashing already? I’m all wet here! I can’t stand watching my self splashing water like a little kid anymore. I’m even way too bigot fit in the pool! This is sooo embarrassing!"
"Will somebody find that pesky Miaka already?!! I can’t take this any longer!" Tasuki, who is trapped in Soi’s body, demands.
"I knew all those Suzaku people are quite disturbed," Amiboshi, who is in Nuriko’s body, sad while holding an umbrella to shelter him to what seemed to be a rain shower from Miboshi’s pool. In fact, the rest of the Seiryuu warriors, including Mitsukake, are already very wet from the, uh, ‘little’ child’s playful acts. Save for the calm and cool Amiboshi who has an umbrella, he’s the only Seiryuu shichiseishi who managed to stay dry.
"Curse that darned Nakago! This is his entire fault! If he hadn’t scrammed away along with the Suzaku no Miko, this wouldn’t have happened to us in the first place!" Suboshi, who is in Chichiri’s body, angrily wrings his wet clothes with fury burning in his eyes. "He obviously doesn’t care that much about his comrades! He just left us almost losing our lives over those monsters. If there’s any way we can do to make him pay."
"Yeah, you’re absolutely right!" Soi, who is in Tasuki’s body, agrees. "The fact that he ran off with Miaka really infuriates me! What could he possibly be doing alone with her? Argh! I don’t even wanna think about it! The Suzaku no Miko and Nakago should pay for this!"
"Yeah!" all of the Seiryuu warriors chorused in agreement. Save for Tomo- the most loyal comrade, Miboshi- who obliviously continues to play in the water, and Yui- the one he has vowed to serve and protect.
Meanwhile, the Suzaku shichiseishi have their share of casualties as well. Tamahome won’t stop until Miaka shows up.
"Daaa! Seems that there’s no other choice left," Chichiri, who is in Suboshi’s body, pops an idea.
"What is it? Have you already found Miaka already?" Hotohori, who is in Ashitare’s body, halts scratching for a moment to ask the question.
"No, your Highness. But I have a better alternative," Chichiri then uses his magic to transform himself to Nakago. "Well, Miaka is in Nakago’s body, no da? Perhaps I should give it a try. Hope it works, no da."
In the form of Nakago, Chichiri flirtingly struts his way to Tamahome, "I feel so sexy, no da!" Hey, what’s so sexy about that? The sight of Nakago strutting with womanly finesse: stomach in, breast out, butt out, hips swaying- well, you get the picture. Chichiri strikes a seductive pose in front of the wailing Tamahome and says, "Tamahome, I’m here."
"Oh Miaka, thank goodness you’re back! Where have you been? I was worried sick," Tamahome tightly embraces in his arms who he thought was Miaka in Nakago’s body. Unbeknownst to him, the rest of the Suzaku warriors all give a thumbs-up to Chichiri in Tamahome’s back. They feel a sense of relief for a job well done.
"Peace and quiet once again," Nuriko, who is in Amiboshi’s body, sighs.
While Tamahome still feels strange embracing who appears to be the blonde shogun of Kutou army, Chichiri finds being in the Seiryuu no Miko’s arms isn’t so bad. In fact, it even feels so wonderful to him!
"*To be said in a soft, sensual and passionate voice* Daaa...." Chichiri intoxicates himself with Yui’s smell. Then he says in the back of his mind, "I should date Yui someday."
"Wait a minute, did you just say... daaa?" Tamahome quickly backs away and bats his eyes in question. Chichiri’s heart was thumping like crazy and doesn’t know what to do or say next. Then the rest of the Suzaku warriors all spanked their foreheads at once in frustration.
"We’re doomed! Chichiri blew it!" Mitsukake, who is in Miboshi’s body, cried.
(The ending theme "Tokimeki no Doukasen" now plays)
