01x12 - Only You

[bunniefuu]

Learning that the Lady Miaka
was the Priestess of Suzaku...

...the emperor of Kutou
ordered her captured.

However, she was
saved by Tamahome.

The Lady Yui, believing
that the Lady Miaka...

...only returned to that world for
Tamahome and not for her sake...

...made her decision to become
the Priestess of Seiryu...

...and locked the Lady Miaka
inside the shrine of Seiryu.

And then, once again...

Miaka, it's me!
Speak to me!

Tamahome...

Yui! Come with us!

Hurry!

You mustn't!

...the Lady Miaka and
the Lady Yui were separated.

The Priestess of Suzaku fell contentedly asleep...

...and dreamed a beautiful dream...

Yui!

Miaka!

Miaka! I'll race you
to the ice cream shop!

Sure!

Jonan Academy?

You seriously think
you can get in there?

I don't have much choice.
My mom really wants me to.

I see... Well, why don't
I go there, too?

I've taken care of you
since kindergarten.

If I don't go to high school with you,
you won't know WHAT to do.

Yui!

Yui, if we get into
the same high school...

..let's see who'll be the first
to get a handsome boyfriend!

Well, I'll win
that bet, of course.

What's that supposed to mean?!

Miaka!

Pervert!

I didn't undress you.
We were both naked when I woke up...

Naked...?
Now that you mention it...

...those wounds I got in
Kutou have all healed.

You're really violent,
you know that?

- Where are we?
- Dunno.

I don't see
Chichiri anywhere, either.

What's wrong?

Who tricked who here?!
You didn't come back for me!

You only came back
to be with Tamahome!

You know what, Miaka?
I love Tamahome.

That's why I'm going
to take him from you!

Is it about Yui?

There was nothing we could
have done in that situation.

The next time we meet, I swear we'll save her.

That's not it, Tamahome.
Yui chose...

She CHOSE to stay in Kutou!

I have to get back to Kutou!

What?!

There's something
I just have to ask Yui!

Yui wouldn't be this mad at me...

..just because she's in
love with Tamahome, too.

You idiot! We only have one
sheet! Don't take it!

I'll be totally naked!

Gimme the sheet!
I need to wrap it around me!

Stop it! Stop it!

Is that any way to act now
that you've recovered?!

Taiitsukun?

Chichiri?

Then is this Mt. Taikyoku?

It's been a while, Miaka, Tamahome.

Chichiri arrived here unexpectedly
with you two covered with wounds.

Miaka! Long time, no see!

Your wounds were fairly light,
so it didn't take long for me to--

Heal them! Heal them!

Mend your clothes! Mend your clothes!

Oh...! I can't get a word in edgewise!

Hi.

Th- Thank you...

They all saw me...!

But how do you know about
Mt. Taikyoku, Chichiri?

Well...

I've been training here for about three years.

Then you're saying you're
determined to return to Kutou?

There's something that I just have to ask Yui!

About what happened to her three months ago!

Could you maybe give me a
little more space to talk in?

If you say you must know,
I have something here...

...that's much better
than returning to Kutou.

Something better?

Come this way.

Wow! What a huge mirror!

This records everything that
happens in the world for me to see.

Wow, just like a DVR...

It should show us what
happened to this girl Yui...

...three months ago in Kutou.

Yui...

Miaka?

It looks like the downtown
section of Kutou's capital.

Check out that girl.

She's dressed weird,
but she looks like a real prize.

Wanna have some fun with us?

Come on! Come over here!

- Stop!
- Grab her!

MIAKA!!!

Miaka! Help me!

- Shut up!
- Miaka!

Why?!
Why won't you answer me?!

Miaka! Miaka!

Stop it...
That's enough. Stop it!

I... I had no idea
that happened to her...

That's why... That's why
she tried to k*ll herself!.

I see. So, this one is
the Priestess of Seiryu.

Then I wish to see you
gather the Seiryu Seven...

...and summon Seiryu as
quickly as possible.

It's truly a pity that the
Priestess of Suzaku escaped.

I'll leave it to you to take care of her.

When I went back to our world,
I wasn't able to hear Yui's cries.

Yui... Even though you
and I are connected...

Why? Why were you drawn into
this world when I left it?

All that happened to you...
And all the time, I...!

YUI!!!

For three months, I heard
nothing from Miaka.

And then she didn't even
come back here for me!

What was all that "Let's go
to high school together!" talk?!

And I thought
we were best friends!

I won't forgive her...

Yes. I will take care of
the Priestess of Suzaku.

I'm glad to hear it,
Priestess of Seiryu.

For the time being, I'll leave
the Priestess of Suzaku to you.

Until all who stand in
our way are eliminated...

...we will delay the
att*ck on Konan.

If they should gain
the power of Suzaku while...

...we're storming the country,
our army would be wasted!

I understand.

Miaka, there's no going back now.

I will never allow your
dreams to come true!

Tamahome. How's Miaka doing?

It's no use. She's locked
herself in her room...

...and won't answer when I
call her. If this keeps up...

I'm scared!

Leave Miaka to me.

I've been with her for three years,
so I'm used to her looks, you know?

Miaka!

It's my fault
that happened to her.

How do I make it up to her?

Why didn't I hear her
calling to me?!

Miaka.

T- Taiitsukun!

You took off your uniform...

...when you got back to
your world, didn't you?

Are you saying that, since my school
uniform is what links us together...

...while I had it off I wasn't
connected to Yui in the book?

And that's why
it wasn't your fault.

It was merely that
girl's own bad luck.

Bad luck?! Don't just
write it off that easily!

Yui was taken here in
my place trying to save me!

What should I do...?
What should I do?!

Miaka, look at this.

What's going on here?

SUPERMAN!

It felt empty, didn't it?

Look below you.

That's...

Hotohori...

Highness.

Nuriko?

Please rest a little.

You haven't eaten or slept
for days, have you?

They can't see me?

Besides the troubles my empire
faces, when I think about Miaka...

...I just can't put
anything into my mouth.

I pray she returns
to us unharmed.

Don't worry. She had Tamahome
and Chichiri with her.

She's the Priestess
of Suzaku, right?

Of course. I'm sure she'll come
back her usual cheerful self.

Hotohori... Nuriko...

Is it true that Kutou will
be coming to att*ck Konan?

I hear they've already occupied
a border town to the west.

Well, we have the Priestess
of Suzaku, don't we?

Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

The Priestess of
Suzaku will save us.

Do you understand now?

You aren't simply a girl
named Miaka Yuki anymore.

Think of your position!

But...

You are the Priestess of Suzaku!

Everything is as you saw it.
Well, Priestess of Suzaku...

Have you figured out what you
must do to make things right?

The Priestess of
Suzaku will save us.

She's right. No matter
how much it hurts...

...I'm no good to
anyone the way I am now.

Going into the book and becoming
the Priestess of Suzaku...

It's all real!
I can't run away from it!

And what I have to do now is...

Let's go back to Konan!

Let's find the other three
members of the Suzaku Seven!

{\pos(397,475)}Miaka...

{\pos(420,475)}Tamahome, Yui and I
have become enemies now.

{\pos(425,475)}The only way to make things
the way they were...

{\pos(403,473)}...is to gather all of the
Suzaku Seven and summon Suzaku.

{\pos(412,473)}Suzaku can make all
my dreams come true.

If I can do that, Yui and
I can be friends again...

...and I can save Konan.

For that, I have to do my best to
forget how I feel about you.

Because Yui is
also in love with you...

What's wrong, Lady Yui?

Oh, nothing.

Are you still thinking
about that Suzaku boy?

Come with us!

{\pos(453,476)}You are... Well, that
may be for the best.

{\pos(441,475)}Hm? What?

That boy... You desire
Tamahome, don't you?

Then you shall have your wish.

I'm home, Hotohori!

Miaka!

Thank goodness!
You're all right!

Uh-huh. Chichiri took
us to Taiitsukun's place.

I'm sorry I made
you worry about me.

I'm tired, so I'll just go to
my room and get some sleep.

Oh, yeah. Chichiri,
let me introduce you.

Miaka!

Nuriko!
You're just as gay as ever!

And you're just
as stupid as ever!

So, did you meet
up with your friend?

Um, er, well, uh...

Why, that...!!!

Miaka! We have to talk!

What are you DOING?!

Well, I'm hungry, so I was gorging
on as much food as I could.

What is this stuff?

Things I brought from my world.

You probably don't know
what any of them are...

...but that's not surprising
since you're from this world.

Things from your world?!

Uh, Tamahome?

No. I didn't
come here for this!

Why are you avoiding me?

Tamahome, starting tomorrow...

...I'll be searching for
the rest of the Suzaku Seven.

What's that have
to do with this?

I'm the Priestess of Suzaku and
you're one of the Suzaku Seven.

We have to draw the line somewhere.

That's why you shouldn't
just come into my room...

...whenever you want
to anymore. Also--

No! Let me go!

I won't! You start talking nonsense...

...and expect me to just say
"Sure! No problem!" ?!

- Don't you understand?
- No, I don't!

Don't you get it? It's because
Yui's in love with you, too!

Your Highness...

Hotohori, stop it!

If you have an explanation,
then I wish to hear it, Tamahome.

Know this, though: whatever
the excuse, I will not forgive you!

I have no excuse to give.

However,
please let me say one thing:

I love Miaka!

And that's why I won't let
anyone else have her!

Tamahome...

You show great courage in the
face of your country's leader.

{\pos(327,477)}Don't worry.
You're one of the Suzaku Seven.

{\pos(327,477)}I can't k*ll you.

{\pos(314,476)}However...

If you weren't one of
the Suzaku Seven anymore...

If you became
an ordinary man...

...then I, too, would
become an ordinary man.

Miaka! Only one man
can ever love you.

Man, was I scared!
You don't KNOW how scared I was!

You idiot! What if
he'd really k*lled you?!

You're messing with the
emperor, you know that?!

The most important guy
in this whole country!

That doesn't matter
where you're concerned!

Do you know what this
character on my forehead means?

- Ogre.
- No!

I've hated having it ever
since I was a little kid.

But now I understand...

It's proof that I live to protect
you! That I live only for you!

Tamahome...

Miaka...

It's no use.
I can't stay away from him.

Not when I love him this much.

"The Priestess of
Suzaku loved Tamahome..."

"...and Tamahome loved
the Priestess as well."

"Both their hearts
blazed beautifully."

Will you always,
ALWAYS stay with me?

You'll never, ever leave me?

Of course I won't,
you little idiot.

There's only you.
There's only you.

Forgive me, Yui.
Forgive me, Hotohori.

The Lady Yui knows well...

...how strongly the
Lady Miaka loves Tamahome.

How Tamahome has fought
to preserve their love.

And of the pain and suffering
they both would endure for it.

The Lady Yui resolves to break
up the Lady Miaka and Tamahome.

Next time,
"For the Sake of Love"

Grief can sometimes
turn to hatred...
