Lady Miaka, the Priestess of Suzaku, was attacked by a Kutou spy.
She was saved by Chiriko, the final member of the Suzaku Seven.
All of the Suzaku Seven have been gathered!
Now I can be with Tamahome again!
And once I do that, I can summon Suzaku…
…and Yui can turn back to normal!
Returning to Konan, the Lady Miaka was able…
…to contact Tamahome, imprisoned in Kutou…
…by means of a spell cast by Chichiri.
Tamahome…
Miaka…
Tamahome!
I’ve missed you!
I just knew you’d do that.
What’s going on…?
I’d swear you were a monster…
Oh, yeah. Miaka! I heard you’d come down with a disease.
Yeah, but I was cured by Mitsukake.
Mitsukake?
One of the Suzaku Seven.
We’ve gathered the last member of the Suzaku Seven!
Tasuki…
Mitsukake…
Chiriko…
Along with Hotohori…
Nuriko…
Chichiri…
And you, Tamahome.
I’m happy for you, Miaka.
Oh, and we saw your family, too!
They’re all fine.
Lady Priestess, please give this message to my son.
Live your life to be a fine member of the Suzaku Seven.
We’re all proud of you.
I’m taking care of our sisters, so don’t worry!
I see… I’m glad.
Miaka, I can’t keep this spell up forever!
Gotcha. Tamahome, I’m coming to Kutou to get you!
Name a place we can meet. And we have to get back…
…that stolen copy of “The Universe of the Four Gods!”
I can find the “Universe of the Four Gods”…
…but it’ll be dangerous if they find you there.
I’ll be fine! Chichiri will be with me!
And there’s also Yui to think about…
Tamahome?
It’s nothing. Oh, yeah. A meeting place…
All right, tomorrow night, then.
Be waiting for me there when the moon has risen to its highest.
Right.
We’ll be together. Next time, for real…
Miaka…
Tamahome…
I love you.
Tamahome…
I… I can’t hold it anymore!
But you managed to talk together safely, Miaka.
Um, it’s over. Um…
Um…
You gathered the last of the Suzaku Seven…
Good job, Miaka!
Tamahome!
Yui…!
Why? Why were you talking to Miaka?!
Miaka will be coming for us tomorrow. The Suzaku Seven have been gathered.
I’m finally going home.
And you and Miaka can be together again.
Yui…
I give myself to you! I love you, Tamahome!
I’ve loved since the first moment we met!
Let go, Yui.
Why?! You met me at the same time you met Miaka!
The laughter of the lovers that I pass by…
…chokes my heart.
Here it is, a rain-soaked…
What’s wrong with me? …weekend afternoon, but…
…I’m walking the streets alone…
Let me go! …I’m walking the streets alone…
…though I want to be with you.
You really… You really love Miaka that much? …though I want to be with you.
I can’t hold you that way. I thought I understood before.
Because there’s only one person I love… I thought I understood before.
Only one person I want to protect with all my body and soul… I thought I understood before.
Even now, when we’re apart…
It’s Miaka! That’s why… Even now, when we’re apart…
That’s why I can’t return any of what you feel for me! Even now, when we’re apart…
That’s why I can’t return any of what you feel for me! …all I can think of is you.
Forgive me, Yui…
Because there’s only one person I love…
Only one person I want to protect with all my body and soul.
That’s why I can’t return any of what you feel for me!
Lady Yui?
Nakago!
Nakago…
What’s wrong, Lady Yui?
Tamahome… Tamahome’s leaving!
I don’t want him to! I don’t want her to have him!
I don’t want Miaka to have him…
Fear not, Lady Yui. I’m here to help you, am I not?
If you wish for Tamahome to be yours alone…
…then use this.
If you want Tamahome to be yours forever…
…then use it.
Let me be with Tamahome again.
Please let me be with him again…
“The Priestess of Suzaku made a wish upon the stars…”
“…for her to be reunited with Tamahome.”
Preparations are proceeding well…
…for the ceremony to summon Suzaku, Your Highness.
Once we’ve recovered both Tamahome and Suzaku’s…
… “Universe of the Four Gods,” all will complete.
By the way, where’s Miaka?
Miaka!
Miaka…
What are you doing?! And after I came to see how you were, too!
Nuriko? Oh. I thought it was a new monster or something.
Well, excuse ME!
And here I was planning to give you something nice!
Here, take this.
Down the hatch!
Don’t eat it!
It’s a Lovers Doll.
They’re really popular with all the girls in the city.
It’s sorta childish, but you write your name…
…and the name of a guy you like on it.
Then you bury it in the ground somewhere no one can find it…
…and it’s supposed to make the love you share eternal.
Do you really want to give this to me?
I do.
Especially since it doesn’t work for gays…
Now hurry up and write the names on it!
R-Right…
“TAMAHOME” “MIAKA”
This time we’ll be together forever…
M-Miaka! Don’t worry about it! The doll doesn’t mean anything!
You must have cracked it when you clobbered me before!
Lady Yui, if you wish Tamahome to be yours forever…
…then put this in his favorite food.
I can’t hold you that way. Only Miaka…
If I put this in it… If I just put this in it…
Yui!
I wanted to talk to her…
I’m not surprised she’s avoiding me.
I rejected her, after all.
But I still have to take her with us when Miaka comes tonight.
If she keeps avoiding me, I’ll have to go to her.
It’s no use, Nakago.
I tried to put it in his food again and again since this morning.
I just…
Lady Yui, getting what you want…
…sometimes requires extraordinary methods.
Such as your choosing to become the Priestess of Seiryu.
All so you could avenge your betrayal by that Suzaku girl.
What…?!
Will you quietly give Tamahome back to her?
And then let her find happiness by letting her summon Suzaku?
This can’t be… Yui… You…
You willingly turned against Miaka…?
Above all, be careful.
I will.
Are you sure we can’t come with you?
Can they?
We should send as few people as possible.
It’ll put a strain on my barrier.
Even with me suppressing our life energy…
…the enemy may still be able to notice us.
I’m comin’, too!
Tasuki?
I wanna meet this Tamahome guy myself.
Don’t! Didn’t you hear what he said?
Oh, no! You can’t say that!
What about this yummy meat bun I have?
I was gonna give it to you, but…
Oh, the poor guy! Chichiri, let’s take him with us!
Uh… Uh, sure, I guess so…
Well, then! Hm?
Hey! Hey! Don’t eat my arm, too!
All right, get on this.
And now, let’s be off!.
Bye! We’re going, everyone!
Be careful!
They’re gone.
I wonder if those three will be all right.
Wow! Chichiri, your spells are fantastic!
You transported us from one place to another in an instant!
But couldn’t you have found a better place for us to land?!
Now what’ll we do?!
Don’t move around!
Well, I’m all right, you know?
Well, we’re NOT, you know?!
Huh? Mitsukake’s cat came with us, too.
Oh? Wow, this is lucky for us!
How?
Hm? Because I promised Tamahome…
I promise to meet you when the moon is highest in the sky…
…at the large tree in the garden…
…surrounded by sweet-smelling flowers.
You see? Animals have a better sense of smell.
Oh, I get you.
All right, now that we’ve settled that, come on, cat!
Meow!
The cat’s over here.
Whew! How much further?
It’s our meeting place! Great job, Kitty!
Forget the doll. Just forget the doll!
Tamahome’s gonna come. We’ll be together at last.
Tamahome and I…
Will you let her find happiness by letting her summon Suzaku?
Wait, please! The Priestess is…!
Let me go! Yui!
Tamahome!
Why did you come here?!
Before I go to Miaka, there’s something I have to ask you!
Did you… Did you become the Priestess of Seiryu willingly?
Did you willingly become an enemy of your best friend?!
DID YOU?!
I did! But, it was…
It was all HER fault!
She betrayed me first!
Everything that happened to me is all her fault!
Before that…
Yes… Before that, I never would have…
…considered stealing you away from Miaka…
But after she betrayed me, I can’t let her have you!
Yui… Weren’t you…
Weren’t the two of you friends?
Then… You have no intention of coming to Konan with us.
I see. Have it your way.
Tamahome!
He’s leaving… Tamahome is… Tamahome is…!
Wh-What is this?
Are you all right, Master Tamahome?
This musk seems to be affecting you.
Come, let’s go back to Lady Yui, shall we?
Lemme go! I have to go somewhere!
Tamahome…
I won’t let you go…
Yui…
Tamahome! Promise me.
Miaka…
Tamahome… Why haven’t you come?
It’s way past the time you promised you’d be here.
What’s wrong?
So, is this guy so high and mighty…
…he likes to keep girls waiting for him?
Or is he afraid to come ‘cuz he knows you’ll catch him being unfaithful?
Tamahome isn’t a coward!
He’ll come. I know he will!
Any minute now, he’ll pop out of the bushes…
… with a big smile and say “Sorry I’m late!”
Tamahome, please! Come, quickly!
Tamahome!
It’s been a long time, Miaka…
Yui…
“From the bushes appeared the Priestess of Seiryu…
“…accompanied by Nakago and several soldiers… “
The Lady Miaka had no idea that she had hurt the Lady Yui.
No matter how honestly and truly sorry the Lady Miaka tries to be…
…nothing will sway the Lady Yui.
And then something terrible happens.
The Tamahome who appears before the Lady Miaka…
…isn’t the beloved man she swore her love to.
Next time, “Shattered Love”.
Anger and vengeance tear love apart.
