The Lady Miaka was urged by Amiboshi of the Seiryu Seven...

...now known as Kai-Ka, to drink the juice...

...of the Forgetfulness leaves and escape all the hardships in her life.

I can't forget! Not the people who care about me.

Not people I love who believe in me!

I can't just forget them!

The Lady Miaka decided to find Nakago and save the Lady Yui.

Tamahome's close by!

No... I can't see him.

I'll bring him here.

Do you understand? Please, just wait here.

Forgive me, Amiboshi.

The Lady Miaka headed for the land of Sairou.

I want to see Tamahome again, but I don't deserve him anymore!

I have to find Yui and go back to our world.

Going back is for the best.

While all this has been happening...

... Yui's been on her way to Sairou with Nakago.

But now my leaving for Sairou...

...has turned into me running away from Tamahome!

Soi!

Where do you think you're going, Priestess of Suzaku?

You won't find your beloved Tamahome up ahead.

T- Tamahome and I aren't...

You're saying you've split up?

Tamahome didn't seem to feel that way.

You... You've seen Tamahome?!

While he is my enemy, I find him a very gallant man.

"As long as even the smallest possibility remains..."

"...we have to believe!" he said.

Why are you talking to me like this?

Why don't you just kill me?

Good point. Why, indeed...

Especially since, had you and Nakago REALLY had sex...

...I'd kill you without hesitation.

That means...! Then, I'm still...!

However, Tamahome is currently facing...

...certain death on the cliff behind you.

Yes. It would be wise not to go to him.

Tamahome is...?!

Because, if you go, the consequences for you this time will be severe.

Tamahome... Tamahome...!

The two of you have to be together!

Tamahome, please be allright!

So foolish.

Running into danger for Tamahome's sake.

Still, I think I may envy them a bit.

So, you'll kill me, will you?

Is that what you said to Nakago when you wounded him?

In that case, I'll make sure you never say such things again!

Get away from Tamahome, Tomo!

Suboshi...? No, Amiboshi! You're still alive?

Never mind, just get away from him! Otherwise...!

Amiboshi, you...

What are you saying?

That you'd fight me, a fellow member of the Seiryu Seven?

Tamahome!

Tamahome!

Here I am!

MIAKA!!!

No, you DON'T!

I don't just TAKE punishment all the time!

Tamahome!

Tamahome!

Miaka!

TAMAHOME!!!

Tamahome! Forgive me, Tamahome!

Miaka! Is it really you?!

Yeah, that's Miaka, all right.

Tamahome, Nakago didn't really rape me!

I can still summon Suzaku!

Really?!

I'm glad...

Oh, I'm so glad...!

Amiboshi saved me when I fell down the cliff.

And he said he was coming here to bring you back.

He was worried about us.

I'm sorry.

I really don't think I even deserve to look you in the eye...

What are you talking about?

You're one of us, aren't you?

Tamahome...!

Amiboshi!

Tamahome! Look out!

Tamahome!

You shouldn't be so proud of yourself...

...for just killing one of my projections.

Mi...aka...!

Run...!

TAMAHOME!!!

Tama...home... No...

NO!!!

Miaka! Try to concentrate!

If you don't, you'll be trapped in an illusion!

Illusion...?

Uh-oh...

You're trapped in my spell, Priestess of Suzaku.

Where... Where are you?!

Give me back Tamahome!

Quite impossible. You saw, didn't you?

He's dead now.

That's not true! Tamahome isn't dead!

Accept that he is dead.

In exchange, I shall give you such glorious joy to feel.

You should be grateful for my kindness.

Why?

Why did you have to separate us?!

All I wanted was to be with him!

Give him back...

Give him back!

Give Tamahome back!

GIVE HIM BACK!!!

Give him back! Give him back! Give him back!

Uh, Miaka?

That's the teacher, you know.

The...school...?

A dream?!

Y- YUKI!!!

Even though you have your entrance exams this year...

...you have the gall to sleep during class?!

After homeroom, report to the guidance office!

You hear me?! Because you really need some guidance!

Y- Yes, sir! Sorry about this, sir.

Dummy.

Miaka, you moron!

What good will making the teacher mad at you do?!

"Give him back," huh? What were you dreaming about, anyway?

I don't remember any of it...

Oh, well. With this on your record, you can kiss high school goodbye.

Kiss it goodbye.

Yui, come on! Don't scare me like that!

How long has that boy been in our class...?

How do you like it, Priestess of Suzaku?

My shell absorbs your life force...

...and then creates this illusion from your own memories.

Still, I must say I'm amazed.

So, this is the world where the priestesses come from.

Once my shell has absorbed your memories...

...l shall show them to Nakago.

The priestess's sweet dream world...

Are you awake, Ms. Yuki?!

Yes, sir. I'm thinking about what I did...

By the way, Ms. Yuki, I see that your first choice is Jonan Academy.

- Here it comes! - Well...

If you maintain these marks, you'll have more than enough to get in.

But, even saying that, this is no time for you to be slacking off!.

S- Sir, could you say that again?

This is no time to slack off.

No, the part before that!

If I maintain those marks...

If you maintain these marks...

...you'll have more than enough to get in.

If you'll excuse me.

I never realized!

I have more than enough to get into Jonan Academy!

What do you know!

Miaka? You look pretty happy for someone who just got chewed out.

Oh? You guys waited for me?

Here. Your bag.

Hey, hey! Let's get something to eat on the way home.

I'm just super hungry today!

So, what else is new?

Miaka? Are you still alive?

Oh... What if this makes me stupid?

Don't worry about that. You already were stupid.

Sorry!

Aono...

I'm really sorry. Let's go to the infirmary.

This boy...

Bye, Miaka. We'll see you later.

Huh? Why?

You idiot. We know what you're thinking.

You're always saying how much you like Aono.

This is your chance! Good luck!

Bye!

I like him...? Oh, yeah!

I've been in love with him ever since...

...the two of us got into the same class for our senior year.

Come on, let's go.

You've got a little bump here.

Do you feel all right? I really kicked that ball hard.

Yui, you said this was my chance...

...but what am I supposed to DO?!

Uh, I'm fine, really.

I mean, my head sorta looks like a soccer ball anyway...

...so it should have a couple of lumps, right?

If playing means you keep getting lumps, maybe I'd better stop.

I don't want you to keep ending up like this.

Yuki, you're trying to get into Jonan Academy, right?

Y- Yeah.

So am l.

Really?

Because you're going there.

I want to go to the same high school as you.

Is he saying...?!

I was going to wait until we were in high school to say this, but...

I like you. So, if it's all right with you...

Will you go out with me?

How adorable.

Tomo! What are you going to do with Miaka?!

This spell I've cast on her is stronger than the ones...

...l cast on the other Celestial Warriors.

I've trapped her physical body to accomplish my own objective.

Have you forgotten? I have the ability...

...to project extensions of myself into the illusions I create.

The very essence of me.

Then, that "Aono" boy in the illusion...

He's a projection of you?!

I'm going to take the Priestess of Suzaku's virginity.

WHAT?!

Although taking a woman as a partner usually doesn't interest me.

Miaka won't...! She isn't somebody who'd be beaten by an illusion!

Amiboshi, you're so naive.

A girl who has just seen the boy she loves die before her eyes...

...will flee from that harsh reality.

The Priestess is retreating further and further...

...into her own happy fantasy.

Wow! It's fabulous!

All my favorite foods!

It's because you did so well on your practice exam.

Just keep up the good work.

I'm usually so bad in cram school...

...but I understood quadratic equations so easily...

...that the teacher complimented me!

You all should take a lesson from Ms. Yuki here.

I was just hoping to get into Yotsubadai...

...but it looks like I'll make it into Jonan really easily.

Now I can go there with Yui. And Aono, too...

I like you.

Miaka, you're drooling into the stew.

"Today's really been a great day for me!"

"Aono, who I've been dreaming about for so long..."

"...told me that he liked me!"

It's really like a dream...

I'll wait for your answer.

I'll be so embarrassed when I see him next.

Huh? Aono... What's his first name again?

That's funny. I can't remember it.

It's this late already?! Gotta study!

Oh, great...

"The name of a constellation."

"One of the 28 Chinese constellations. Tamahome..."

Why is my heart suddenly...?

It feels like it's Beingsqueezed. But why?

Tamahome...

Maybe, if I get some air, I'll calm down...

Aono!

What's up, Aono?

Oh, well. I just...

Uh, it's slippery there! Be careful--

...next time.

Here.

It's my big brother's lucky pencil...

...from when he passed his high school entrance exams.

I wanted you to have it, Yuki.

You came over here... just for this?

Thank you!

I could have given it to you in school tomorrow...

...but I just had to see your face again. That's all.

Sorry for interrupting your studying.

Aono... You really care about me that much?

Um, excuse me.

If you want to go out with me... You can.

Really? Really?!

Because... I really like you, too, Aono.

All right!

Yuki, I love you!

I'll never let go of you!

Aono...

So easy...

Miaka! Snap out of it! Miaka! Remember Tamahome!

Useless...

Could I call you Miaka?

And can you call me Tomo?

Tomo?

Yes. Call me...Tomo.

I'm sorry I took so long to call you.

I know, I know...

That's why she wanted to try studying with Tetsuya and me.

"Go for Jonan!" you know?

Right. Heh... I'll take care of it.

Things are fine. See you.

I have to let him handle it.

I have to let Tamahome handle it.

It'll be okay...

You belong to me now, body and soul.

And you shall be trapped within this shell forever...

Illusory love. Twisted feelings. Superficial kindness.

And the Lady Miaka, afflicted by all of these.

Trapped within this perverse spell...

...the thing which will awaken the Lady Miaka from it...

...shall be a scream from the heart which wishes to shatter the illusion.

Next time, " Deceptive Love."

True love flows from a spring deep within the heart.
