Original subtitles

Having arrived in Sairou and taking a brief rest...

...Lady Miaka, the Priestess of Suzaku, suddenly heard from Tamahome...

...that he was through loving her.

It was at this time that she also heard the legend...

...that if a couple kissed at the same moment the sun set...

...while in a tower in a nearby temple, nothing would ever tear them apart.

The Lady Miaka believed the legend...

...and went to convince Tamahome to come with her to the tower.

What she saw then was a sight...

...almost too shocking for her to bear.

Miaka!

Morioka. Morioka.

Outbound Yamabiko 19 from Tokyo now arriving on track 12.

Move it, Tetsuya!

Hold on, Keisuke!

You're gonna fall!

Now THAT'S funny. You really did fall.

Hurry up and get a taxi.

Gotcha. Gotcha. Here, grab on.

I'm fine. It's nothing.

There. Watch your leg.

Oh, brother.

Coming off the Shinkansen drunk THIS early in the day?

Iwate police department, and hurry!

Oh? Are you guys detectives? Pretty young, aren't you?

You want eastern division or western?

No, no. We aren't detectives. Anyway, which one's closer?

Let's see... Eastern, western...

...and the main office are all pretty close.

You've got that many here?

Miaka...!

I- I'm sorry. I... Excuse me.

Listen, Tamahome. You know that temple on the mountain nearby?

I heard there's a tower right next to it.

And... I want you to go there to me before the sun sets.

If...

If you don't hate me now...

...then come to me.

If you don't come, then l... Then I'll forget about you...

But, I believe! I believe in you, and I'll wait!

I'll wait for you!

To that tower?! You can't do that!

Haven't you heard about the monsters there?

It's true! A lot of people have never come back.

No, not that. Near it will be fine.

A murder back in the 1920's?

And you came here to check it out?

Well, that and the other stuff. I doubt you believe me.

Oh, your friend's coming out.

So, how'd it go?

We gotta run!

Why?!

They saw that crime report!

You showed it to them?!

Mister! Get us outta here, fast!

Huh? Oh, sure.

So, this is it?

Tamahome will come.

I know he'll come.

Miaka!

Uh-uh! Part 2!

I got peaches for you! This is to make up for before.

Let's eat them together!

Hey, Tama! Where's Miaka? Have you seen her?

Miaka... Went off to that tower up there.

What do you mean? Why'd she go there by herself?

What are you doing?

It's like before...

You've been acting really weird today!

What's got you moping around like this?!

She went to that tower?! That idiot!

There are all sorts of monsters wandering around near that temple!

It's forbidden to enter that tower now!

Why would she go there?!

I... I told her the legend of the tower.

But I told her to stay away from it!

I'll wait for you.

- That idiot! - Wait, Tamahome!

You mustn't go. I'll go there with Fang Boy.

Master... I... I think that...

How many times must I say it?!

You and that girl are going to split up!

No, you're going to have to split up.

You were going to wish that...

...she become part of our world when Suzaku is summoned?

That absolutely won't work!

It's the one wish the beast god would not grant!

When the beast god appears...

...the priestess's purpose is fulfilled...

Then she must return to her own world.

That is the rule.

No matter how hard you both may fight it, you cannot change that.

This love will end tragically! Impressive line, isn't it?

However, there's more to it than that.

It'll tear both of you apart!

Stop loving her now, before it's too late--

Master...

It's already too late.

TAMAHOME!!!

It's closed.

I figured we could see some newspapers from that time...

...on microfilm in the library, but...

You wanna go to the newspaper office?

It was right in front of that police station.

Oh, get real!

You're gonna turn us in?

Sorry about this, Mister.

Can you just tell us what we owe? You can leave us here.

You're doing this for your little sister, right?

I believe in UFOs, myself.

Tetsuya... You told him?

Yeah. While we were waiting for you...

...l told him all about that " Four Gods" book.

Hello. Oh, Konishi.

You work with putting the newspapers on film in the library, right?

Yeah, exactly. If you've got one of those machines...

Oh, you do! Listen, I'm headed over to your place.

Unlock that room for us, okay?

What a great guy!

Forgive me. Forgive me, Miaka!

I'll be there soon. Wait for me!

No matter how much it may hurt...

...I still love you!

Tamahome... The sun's about to set.

Aren't you going to come?

Yui!

And Nakago!

Nakago? What's wrong?

No. It's nothing.

Did they see me?

That man...

I have to tell Yui that he's been lying to her!

I have to tell her it's all just a sneaky trap!

Tamahome... Tamahome!

I'm really sorry. It's so late...

It's all right. He's always asking me to do favors like this.

Hasn't changed a bit since we were kids.

Well, the people you gotta hang onto most are your childhood friends.

Here we go. You want April 1 924, right?

Yeah. It happened on April first.

It's our only clue, at least.

I've never heard of this Einosuke Okuda person.

Morioka's famous for the author Kenji Miyazawa...

...and the poet Takuboku Ishikawa.

You'd be more correct to say that IWATE is.

Oh, never mind that.

February...

March...

Got it!

Tetsuya! Here it is!

Does it say where they lived?!

Yeah... Here it is!

The old Shizuku-Ishi village?

Hold on! We have a map from that time.

You, grab a current one!

Gotcha!

Whoa!

Miaka! Miaka!

Miaka... Where did she go?

Why do we always seem to be chasing after each other?

But someday you'll go back...

...to a place that I can never follow you to.

Do you understand this thing?

Where is it on here?

Use the Kakkonda river and Lake Gosho as landmarks.

I get you. Rivers and lakes don't change like towns do.

Hey! That's perfect!

You reduced it to 80% normal. Now they line up!

So, where is it now?

Upper Shizuku-Ishi!

That's Arine now, land section number 1 .

Definitely. Only one road up there.

You know a lot!

Hey, I'm a taxi driver!

Yui and Nakago.... They came in here.

I just followed them in without thinking about it, but...

Tamahome... You never came.

I waited right up to the very end.

I guess I've been dumped.

REKKA...

...SHINEN!

Boy, wasn't that a close one?!

Another second and it would've been too late!

Ol' Tamahome would've been eaten!

Tasuki...!

Hey, is that any way to treat the guy who just saved your life?

Tamahome, where's Miaka?

She was gone when I got here.

You think that monster we just got...!

Oh, Miaka! Rest in peace!

Tasuki! Why, you...!

What's your problem?!

Don't joke around, Tasuki.

You, too, Chiriko. It's bad luck to say things like that, you know?

I'll try to locate her life force.

Are you all here?

We have trouble! Tatara in the shrine of Byakko...!

Tatara's been taken away!

Give it up, won't you?

We've already shown you the Shinzaho of Genbu.

Now, surely you'd give the one who carries it...

...the Priestess of Byakko's Shinzaho, wouldn't you?

If you want to spare yourself any more pain, then hand it over!

If you kill me, you'll never get the Shinzaho!

You're the Priestess of Seiryu?

You didn't get that Shinzaho.

Someone else did! I know that!

Hurry up and give me the Shinzaho!

Once you do, I can summon Seiryu!

And then I can go back to my world.

And I can have my revenge on that traitor, Miaka!

And who are you looking for, Priestess of Suzaku?

Good grief... You never learn...

You just lack the ability to learn, don't you?

Wh- Where's Yui?

Did you come to take Lady Yui back?

Don't look at me with such hatred.

We did kiss once before, remember?

May I have another kiss now...

...dear Priestess of Suzaku?

Don't make fun of me!

If you're going to do anything to me, then do it!

You can rape me, kill me, make me into a ghost...

...but I'll still take Yui back from you!

You're a strong-willed girl. I admire that.

Don't worry.

There's no need to take your virginity from you now.

We practically have the other Shinzaho in our hands already.

You're lying!

Gamble on Lady Yui if you wish.

Either way, you are not going to summon Suzaku...

...and Lady Yui will not go back with you.

Where is she?! I want to go to Yui!

Your voice has been stolen.

Even if you go to Yui, it will make no difference.

I am Miboshi of the Seiryu Seven.

A pleasure to meet you, Priestess of Suzaku.

What will you do with her?

She's come all this way. Why not take her to her friend?

Besides, the Suzaku Seven will soon follow her here...

Tamahome shall come.

This is where Miaka is?

I sense the life forces of the Seiryu Seven.

And another person... Someone else completely different!

That's Tatara. One of the Byakko Seven, like us.

They're trying to take the Shinzaho by force!

Meaning we can get the Shinzaho AND kick some Seiryu ass!

Man, I can't wait!

Tasuki, you seem so happy about this.

Miaka...

Dammit, even after I tell you to give up on that girl...

You've always been a stubborn kid, Little Ghost.

Oh? What? You wanna hear?

Well, back when we first met, every kid used to tease him and call him that.

The character that appears on his forehead...

...also means spirit or ghost, you know.

Ghost?! Ghost! Oh, man...

Hey, Tamahome, your forehead's glowing. I wonder why.

All you'd ever talk about was " Money! Gotta get money!"

That's the one thing that's changed about you...

It hasn't really changed.

I still love money.

I just found something that's worth more to me than money.

That's all, Master...

Dear, do you remember? 90 years ago?

Damn it all...

You'll have nothing but tears when it's all over.

All right. Do what you want!

All right... Everyone, let's go!

Sure thing, Little Ghost!

He shouldn't have said that.

This is it. Shizuku-Ishi town. Owazanaga Mountain.

Land section number 1 . Arine 4-28...

The place where he killed his own daughter...

It was here... At Genbu Grotto!

Are you awake?

Are you the Priestess of Suzaku? Yes, you must be.

I am Tatara. One of the Byakko Seven.

Miaka!

Miaka! Answer me!

Through that wall?

Tamahome!

I just heard Tamahome's voice.

I'm right here, Tamahome!

Miaka.

Y- Yui...!

The Lady Miaka and Tamahome, torn apart.

The Lady Miaka and the Lady Yui, who cannot come together.

The fear of being hurt and of being lost...

...casts shadows within their hearts.

Rocking emotions capture all three and won't let them go.

Next time, " Farewell Reunion."

I want to tell you my true feelings, but...
