What Happened : We all started out waking up or getting up. Usagi woke up confused and tried talking to Ami. Haruka got up (hadn’t slept all night, so I don’t say wake up) and walked outside. Tomite, Taiki, Usagi and Ami talked a bit, trying to explain things to Usagi. Michiru woke up later and explained things to Usagi too. Outside, Haruka met up with Chichiri and they both went off to Sairou Country to get Hotaru.
Back in Sairou Country, Hotaru was trying to make some coffee when there was a knock at the door. She opened it and was immediately slashed with an ax. The person wielding the ax asked her if she was Byakko No Miko. She asked "Who wants to know?" He said "Kutou Country" and slashed her with the ax again. Chichiri and Haruka soon showed up and saw the assassin still standing in the doorway. Haruka tried to kick him but missed, Chichiri tried to blast him with chi but missed too. The man turned around and sliced Haruka’s hand. Then he turned back around and sliced Hotaru again. (That guy was goood….With 2d13 he got : Four 13s. Two 9s and an 11. O.o) Haruka got angered and the symbol on her forehead began to appear and glow. She ran at the assassin with a punch and managed to hit him. Hotaru threw boiling water on the man and he yelled. He took another slice at Haruka and slashed her hand again. Chichiri then slammed the assassin over the head with his staff, knocking him unconscious. Hotaru then ran to the kitchen, grabbed a knife and ran back to slit the man’s throat, much to the surprise of everyone there. Haruka scolded Hotaru for a moment, then they all decided to leave and went back to Hokkan Country.
Meanwhile, back in Kaen’s house, Tomite wanted to get going to told all his Genbu Seishi to follow him and the Byakko Seishi to stay behind and wait for Chichiri, Haruka and Hotaru. So they all started walking to Kutou Country and Seiryuu Hall. On their way, they figured they were missing Taiki (who had stayed at Kaen’s house eating Ramen… blah baka) and that they were missing Rei (who was asleep at Kaen’s) and Makoto (Still stuck in Genbu Hall) So they turned around and headed back to Kaen’s. Chichiri and the others showed up a little before the Genbu Seishi got back. Chichiri asked Usagi if she could polymorph… and after some explanation of the term she said yes. Chichiri told them a plan to morph into someone to go undercover into Seiryuu Hall instead of just storming in. Tomite kept yelling that he wanted to leave, not listening very much to Chichiri. Chichiri explained to Usagi that once she got inside she would have to persuade Seiryuu No Miko to stop calling Seiryuu and he told her to be careful since Nakago would be there too. Usagi asked if this Nakago person was more powerful than Haruka and Chichiri said he was MUCH more powerful. Taiki got into his little Eskimo outfit and the others told him to carry Rei. He whined about it for awhile. Chichiri told Usagi he could polymorph too but it was dangerous because Nakago could sense Seishi. However, he decided to go with her anyway. Tomite decided that his Genbu Seishi would go to Kutou and that the Byakko Seishi should stay in Hokkan. Haruka went outside into town and sat down against an alley wall to think.
Chichiri morphed into Nakago and Usagi morphed into Kaen/Soi. Tomite told Ami to take Rei and Taiki and go up to Genbu Hall to rescue the other Seishi, Makoto. So Ami dragged her two useless comrades up the mountain. Usagi said they should have a password, so that no one could pretend to be them. Chichiri just suggested "cracker" and Michiru suggested "I Love Yaten." ((::eyes Michiru::)) Chichiri transported Tomite and Usagi to Kutou Country. And after Michiru said a looong goodbye, telling Setsuna and Hotaru to say goodbye to Haruka for her, Chichiri finally managed to transport her too then himself. Tomite and Michiru stayed a little ways away from Seiryuu Hall in Kutou Country as Michiru and Usagi tested their watch communicators. The communicators worked, and they shut them off, then Chichiri and Usagi (disguised of course) walked up to one of the back entrances for the Hall. They passed the guard there easily then walked around the maze-like corridors, trying to find the main room where they could find Seiryuu No Miko.
Michiru and Tomite talked about Haruka for awhile, then Michiru tried using her Aqua Mirror and it didn’t work. They waited for Chichiri and Usagi then, complaining about having to wait out there.
Back in Hokkan, Hotaru and Setsuna complained about always being left behind. Haruka passed out in the alley way she was in, and Setsuna and Hotaru decided to go look for her. They found her and dragged her back to Kaen’s place.
(Okay, I’m just going to go through what Ami did to rescue Makoto all together, since I don’t want to pop in every 3 paragraphs with a bulletin :P ) Ami made her way to the HUGE concrete door that was the entrance to Genbu Hall. She took out her computer and tried calculating weaknesses of the door. She found that there was a handle waaaaay up in the upper right hand corner of the door. She dragged Taiki under it and told him to just act like a statue… which he did very well. Ami tried climbing onto Taiki’s shoulders and reaching for the handle, but quickly found that even with Taiki’s ‘help’ she couldn’t reach it like that. She jumped off of Taiki and paced for awhile, then tried shooting green lightning at the door handle, which missed. She tried shooting at it again, and missed again. She stood there, tapping her foot and getting aggravated then fired another blast of lightning at it which hit, but only managed to singe the handle a bit. Ami muttered and shivered some then tipped Taiki over. She put Rei onto Taiki to warm them up. She then sat down on Taiki too, thinking about how to open the door. She got up and tried feeling around the door to see if it was climbable, which it wasn’t. She then got an idea and leaned Taiki up against the door then started removing his Eskimo clothing layers, leaving him with only one layer still on. She put Rei on top of Taiki again so he wouldn’t freeze to death. She tied the clothes together into a lasso and after a couple tried managed to hook the door handle. After many MANY tries to tug the makeshift rope hard enough, (and using many different methods, including tying Rei and Taiki to the end of the rope) she finally calculated the angles with her computer and managed to open the door then. She went inside and dragged Makoto out. She blasted the piece of rope by the door handle with lightning to make the rope fall down. Then tied the rope to each individual person and scurried up the side of the infamous gorge. She rolled a HUGE compact snowball and tied it to the free end of the rope. She then rolled it down the mountain and watched Rei, Makoto and Taiki come up the side of the gorge, since they were tied to that ice ball. Once they got up, Ami undid the rope around them all then let the snowball go crashing into the village. She dragged them all down the mountain to Kaen’s cottage then got into some warmer clothing. (Heh, I shoulda made the snowball hit Kaen’s house, and turn Mamoru into a human snowman… bwhahah…)
Back at Seiryuu Hall, Chichiri and Usagi smacked into a young green haired man who showed them to where Seiryuu No Miko would be. Chichiri ordered the youth to leave and go prepare, and he did. Chichiri tried telling Seiryuu No Miko to stop with the procession. She looked at him oddly, thinking Nakago was acting very strange. She said she wouldn’t give up, and that they could leave after she was done calling Seiryuu. Chichiri left her, dragging Usagi with him and they talked about a new plan. They both demorphed and ran into the room again to persuade Seiryuu No Miko. She shouted for Nakago, Chichiri slapped a hand over her mouth which she promptly bit and shouted for Nakago again. Suboshi came to the door and Seiryuu No Miko told him to get rid of Chichiri and Usagi. Suboshi said "Hai Yui-sama!" Then brought around his weapon, called the ryuseisui and shot it at Chichiri. (The Ryuseisui is basically this spinning sharp ball on the end of a long piece of "rope" I guess you could call it. Suboshi controls it by telekinesis) Chichiri threw down his hat and transported Usagi out of there. He then made a dash for the Shinzaho and Suboshi knocked him out of the way. Chichiri said he didn’t want to do this…. But gathered chi and fired it at Suboshi, knocking him over and altar and into a wall. Nakago then appear in the doorway… the room suddenly seemed colder… he immediately bound Chichiri’s powers to escape and asked Yui if Chichiri was bothering her. She didn’t reply. Nakago saw that Chichiri was trying to steal the Shinzaho.
Back where Usagi had appeared with Michiru and Tomite she decided to go back after Chichiri after awhile, Tomite yelled at her not to go. She went anyway, Tomite followed and the guards stopped him, until Usagi told them that he was with her. They let the three pass. They made their way to the main temple’s door and Usagi knocked on it repeatedly, shouting Yui’s name.
Chichiri put a small shield up in front of himself and tried breaking Nakago’s spellbinding. Nakago blasted the shield down to 1 HP. Nakago told him he was a good magician and gathered blue chi to his hand. Chichiri prayed that his shield would hold and gathered chi too. (Everyone understand chi? It’s basically energy, it’s like ‘soul energy’ that some of us can channel into a blast. Chichiri and Nakago can channel chi, Tomite too. And if she gets pissed enough, Haruka too.) Chichiri as his last action fired a blast of chi at Nakago. Nakago watched the attack scratch his armor then calmly blinked an eye, shooting a huge painful blast of blue chi at Chichiri. The blast knocked Chichiri over, making him drop his staff and the Shinzaho, his mask came off as he fell and said "Sayonara… no da…" He looked up at the ceiling, as his one good eye went blank. Yui watched, surprised and frightened. Nakago turned around at hearing Usagi bang on the door.
Tomite kept trying to get Usagi to leave, finally he got Michiru to help him and the three of them ran out of there and into town. Tomite and Usagi yelling at each other. Tomite saying that Genbu No Miko was more important than the others, Usagi saying she wasn’t. Usagi demorphed and they went into town. They got to a home and went inside, they sat down on the chairs and a young large strong man came over to them and asked what the problem was. Usagi explained the problem as rockslides. The man told them he could heal one of them completely and could give the other a medpack. Tomite told him to heal Usagi. The man put a hand over Usagi’s head and healed her with red energy. He then dropped to his knees and handed Tomite a medkit. Usagi took the medkit and looked in it. Michiru stood up and offered the man a hand. Tomite said they should get going and he and Usagi went outside. The man took Michiru’s hand and she asked him what they owed him for his services, he said they should just take care of themselves and watch out for the impending war. He and Michiru smiled at each other and he went on to other patients as she left to find Tomite and Usagi.
Suboshi got up and dragged Chichiri out of the room, following Nakago out. A bit shaken, Yui went back to praying on the platform in the middle of Seiryuu Hall.
Back in Hokkan Country, Haruka woke up and talked to Hotaru for a little bit, getting Michiru’s message of "Goodbye". Seiya woke up much later (unfortunately… ) then Setsuna after him. Seiya found some curry and started making it, food flying everywhere, even some carrot sticks hitting Setsuna in the face. He ate a most of it then offered some to the others. They all declined. Haruka asked if they could open a window, and Hotaru and Setsuna both opened one. Hotaru leaned out the window and licked an icicle, saying it tasted like lollipops a little. Setsuna told Haruka and Seiya that the others left to go get the Shinzaho back from Seiryuu Hall. Haruka wanted to go after them, but Setsuna persuaded her not to go.
Usagi and her two people decided to go sit under a shady tree and medpack up Tomite. They suddenly saw a HUGE flash of blue light over Seiryuu Hall. Usagi immediately tried calling Haruka and Setsuna on her watch. (Which normally I don’t think would work over that long a distance… but okay… I was being nice ^_^) She told them that Seiryuu had been called and that Chichiri been killed. She told them to get to Kutou country as soon as possible then closed the watch. Haruka started running out the door and towards Kutou, the other following and trying to keep up.
Tomite, Michiru and Usagi talked about what they would wish for. They all said they’d wish for the worlds not to collide. Usagi said her last wish would be to get home and her second would be for her sister to come back to life. Michiru said she’d wish to always be with Haruka. After they bugged Tomite he said he’d seal Seiryuu then wish for outsiders to stop having to be involved in their affairs. Michiru and Usagi whined about that response then tickled him and he gave in and told them he’d wish for a family. Usagi said she’d be his little sister and that Michiru could be a long lost cousin. They got hungry and headed to a tavern in town called ‘Shabu Shabu’.
After running for a long time, the Setsuna, Haruka, Hotaru and Seiya had a rest. Haruka gave Setsuna Aoshi’s Yukouju Gem and Setsuna gave it to Hotaru to warm her up. They decided they weren’t getting anywhere just running like this, and they wished they had horses or Chichiri’s teleportation. Setsuna tried a couple times to create a time portal with no luck. Hotaru passed out from exhaustion and Setsuna caught her then handed her to Haruka. Setsuna tried making the portal some more, made the right one, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Haruka asked to try it and Setsuna told her to think or where or with who she wanted to be. Haruka concentrated on Michiru and the right portal formed right away. They all jumped in, walked to the end of the portal and appeared in Shabu Shabu with the others. Haruka handed Hotaru to Setsuna then sat down and Michiru got up then sat on her lap. Tomite looked over and asked if Byakko No Miko (Hotaru) had been injured. Haruka said she had… then explained about what had happened with the assassin…leaving out the part about Hotaru killing him in the end. Usagi gave Setsuna the medkit and Setsuna did her best to patch up Hotaru with the remaining medkit supplies. Michiru bandaged Haruka’s slashed hand, despite the fact that Haruka said she was fine. They all talked about going to Konan to get help from the Suzaku Seishi for awhile, and Tomite warned them that Konan would soon be invaded by Kutou since Seiryuu was called. Usagi fell asleep in her food, Tomite picked her head up out of her meal and wiped her face off then set her back against the seat. (I dunno what happened to Seiya, think he ran off to the little boy’s room?) Haruka took a sip of water and Tomite chuckled, watching Usagi snooze.
