Chapter 04: Missing Love!
*Narrator's POV*
The Priestess of Suzaku, Lady Miaka, and the Celestial Guardian of Suzaku, Lady Tsubasa, in order to find the remaining five of the Suzaku Seven, assembled the brightest, strongest, and most gifted men.
But, suddenly, a gazebo collapsed on top of the Lady Miaka, burying her and Tamahome beneath the rubble.
Just then, someone appeared to help the Lady Tsubasa save the Lady Miaka from her peril.
It was Nuriko, an imperial consort who carried the mark of 'willow' upon her body just as it had done on the Lady Tsubasa's body when Nuriko was nearby.
But this woman did not accept the Lady Miaka's position, nor did she think that the Lady Tsubasa was brave enough to take on the position of Celestial Guardian, and began behaving disrespectfully towards the both of them.

"'The Priestess of Suzaku's leg was cared for by Tamahome, but her thoughts gave her no peace.'"
"'Meanwhile, the Celestial Guardian of Suzaku was put in a tight spot and decided to run away from Nuriko, the third Suzaku warrior they found that day, letting her feelings of nervousness get the best of her.'"

*Tsubasa's POV*
I ran away as fast as I could in order to avoid Nuriko. My excuse for not wanting to tell him how I knew about him cross-dressing as a woman was 'Did you hear that? I think I heard Miaka calling my name...see ya!'.
Speaking of Miaka, I spotted her with Tamahome, who just finished re-bandaging her left leg.
He was laughing and smiling as she looked relieved about something, which I'm guessing he's just told her that he didn't like Nuriko in the way Miaka thinks he does. "This happens to me all the time. The ladies love me for my charm and class and good looks too, I'm sure."
Oh yeah? I dare you to name one lady who does...that definitely does not include Nuriko. "But I'm not interested. I'm sorry, I'm lookin' for money, not for love." He suddenly burst out laughing like a maniac.
Oh, Tamahome, how your words will one day bite you up the-"No! You got it all wrong!" All Tamahome did was laugh even louder.
I noticed Nuriko watching them from the corner of my eye looking irritated.
I know exactly what he plans to do, and I hate to say it, but I can't wait until Tamahome walks into the room when Nuriko brags to the servants about lying to Miaka.
____________________________
I walked around the palace with Miaka so we could familiarise ourselves with the place since we didn't have the chance to do that yet.
That was, until we found Nuriko leaning over the balcony looking down at the ground below in thought.
He lifted his head up and greeted us. "Miaka. Cupcake."
