"If you wish to get back to your own world your best bet would be to gain the powers of Suzaku. You have to gather together all of the Suzaku Seven in order to have the power and you can get any wish granted. Even if it is to return to your own world." he smiled at her. "You already have one so that only leaves six to go."

Miaka smiled, suddenly cheery.
"Okay. I can do that. How hard can it be?" She giggled, catching up to him and sticking close.
"Anyway.... how do I know if they're part of the Seven??"

He placed the palm of his against his face and then slid it upwards, lifing up his bangs. THis revealed a symbol on his head.
"Not all the symbols will be the same or even in the same place on their body but each of them will have one even if they are not aware of it."

Miaka nodded, reaching out slowly to touch his symbol.
"Wow... its very warm." She replied with a smile. She pulled away and nodded.
"I'm sure it couldn't be that hard..."

He smirked.
"That's the attitude to have."
His smirk changed to a smile at her comment.
"Just remember what you just said when it takes us more than a day to find one."

Miaka face faulted and laughed nervously.
"So... where to look?" She questioned.

"We should look for the best warriors and scholars in the land. Its more than likely that at least some of them are the ones we're looking for. The first obvious one would be the king." he replied.
They walked through the town, using the castle to orient themselves as they drew nearer with each step.

Miaka shifted nervously from heel to heel.
"But wait... what if the king's not very nice?" She questioned.
"If I am really not of this world then the king really couldn't do harm to me... could he?" She glanced at Tamahome.

He glanced over at her.
"You keep thinking that if it makes you feel better."
He smiled.
"He's not bad."

Miaka gulped loudly and continued on, but behind Tamahome instead.
"Nothing can hurt me here, Nothing can hurt me here..." She chanted over and over in a whisper. She crouched down behind the scam artist. Her foot stepped on the large pant leg of her outfit, successfully tripping her.
"So much... for nothing hurting here..." She grumbled, a mouthful of dirt.

He chuckled and walked back to her. He offered her his hand.
"I just said he's not bad. As long as you bow and maintain your manners you'll be fine." he stated.

She moaned lightly, swirly eye dominating most of her face until it registered in her mind what Tamahome just said.
"Oh... okay!" She spoke cheerfully. She flinched and pulled up the pant leg on the right to look at her knee, which was bleeding due to her clumsiness. "Whoops..."

"Keep that pant leg up before the blood stains the clothing." He smiled and looked around. "There's a well."
He tore a small piece of cloth from her odd old clothes. He pulled up a bucket filled with the well water. He soaked the cloth in the cold water and tied it around her knee tightly enough to keep it on.
"Keep your pant leg rolled up until we actually get to the castle."

Miaka watched him put the bandage on her leg. She smiled sweetly, but looked away when he looked up.
"Um, okay." She replied. She rolled up the right leg of her pants and continued on with him.

He smiled as they walked together arm in arm to the castle. Right before approaching the guards at the front gate, he turned to her and checked the bandage.
"The bleeding has seemed to stop." he stated, untying the makeshift bandage. "You can roll down your pant leg now."

The brown haired girl smiled as well. She rolled it down and sighed.
"I hope... he's not mean or anything. Or wants to put me in his harem..." She murmured with a pout.

Tamahome chuckled.
"This guy can have any girl in the land he wants and you're worried about him picking you?"
He offered her his arm again before beginning to approach the guards once more.

Miaka nodded, agreeing with him.
"Hey!" Realization hit and she frowned. "What's that supposed to mean, hm!?"
"I'm not pretty enough or something?!"

"I'm not saying you're not pretty. But let's be honest that you're not a girl that merchants would line up to have sample their works."
He smiled nervously over at her as they approached the guards. He turned to them when they crossed their lances, blocking passage. Tamahome bowed.
"Honored guards, we humbly request audience from his majesty. This young lady with me desperately seeks his council."

Miaka followed his lead, holding in her temper... for now anyway.
The guards looked them up and down and then let the lances back. Miaka followed behind Tamahome, but soon they were follow by a couple of guards.
"Are they just making sure we're not here to cause harm to the king?" She questioned, the guards obviously freaking her out.

"Of course, do you really think that they would let us have an audience with the king without him being well guarded? He is the only ruler. He does not have wife nor heir to take over if something, heaven forbid, should ever happen to him." he whispered over to her. "Just be on your guard, he's young and very popular with women. Don't let him overcharm you."

Miaka smirked at that thought. Tamahome seemed... jealous maybe? Or was she silly to think so.
"Why, Tamahome, don't want me running off with the king?" She whispered in his ear, a cat like grin on her face. Oh she knew payback was coming for her soon enough...

"I have no problem with you running off with his majesty, if he would ever accept you as a suitor. I've known you for less than a day. What would make you think that such a decision would have any affect on me? It's your life." he replied, turning his face away from her as they stepped into the throne room.

Miaka pouted the rest of the way. She crossed her arms and faced away from him. So much for teasing him....
When she laid eyes on the throne room, however, all was forgotten. "Oh wow..." She sighed. "Its so beautiful... Like a painting."

"I'll assume you're talking about me." a voice came from in front of them.
At the opposite end of the room and sitting high on his throne was the young king Hotohori.
Tamahome bowed to the royal gentleman.
"Bow Miaka. Remember your manners." he spoke to the girl.
The king spoke again.
"What business have you here? I am a rather busy......and attractive man."
Tamahome stuttered at first and then spoke up.
"Sire, I have reason to believe that this girl here is the Legendary Priestess of Suzaku. We are on a quest, looking for the Seven Stars of Suzaku and we figured you being one of the most powerful warriors in the land, might be one of them by chance?"
