"The Universe of the Four Gods"

Miaka! Hurry up! It's about to leave!

We're fine! We're fine!

Uh-oh... Whenever she starts running with a bag...

Safe!

All right! That's my little sister for you!

No NORMAL idiot would run into a wall!

Okay, I'll get you peeled off from there.

Oh, great... Why couldn't we get separate seats?

It's so fast! Miaka! Would you look at all this?!

Uh, Tamahome? Could you maybe take off your shoes?

Yui really wanted to come with us.

She said her fever was down, too.

Tamahome, I'm done eating now, so let's talk!

She always tries to push herself, so you have to be firm with her.

Oh, really? Did you tell her not to come?

Huh? Well, uh...

The four of us were on our way to Morioka once more...

... this time to visit Suzuno's grave.

Nobody can stop us now.

Now take this kiss from me.

All I want is to confirm our love a little more...

...before the night gives way to dawn.

All it takes is a single look up to the stars above me and...

...the blue lights of night envelope everything.

And I know that my heart...

...more than I think it might...

...will be filled up with warm feelings.

...will be filled up with warm feelings.

If only one of my wishes can somehow reach you...

...then send my heart as well.

Nobody can stop us now.

Now hold me as tight as you can.

Let both our hearts be carried away...

...before the night gives way to dawn.

...before the night gives way to dawn.

Suzuno... Across time and space...

They died at the same moment...

Even if Tamahome hadn't appeared in this world again...

... I probably would have ended up like Suzuno.

What's wrong, Tamahome?

N- Nothing. I just felt like somebody called my name.

Sorry. Must have been my imagination.

While we're here, why don't we visit Takiko's grave as well?

Takiko Okuda. The Priestess of Genbu.

Grandma's father and Takiko's father Einosuke Okuda used to be friends.

That's why you took care of Miss Suzuno all this time, right?

Even though we're not even related.

My grandpa fell in love with Suzuno.

I assume you mean your real grandfather, right?

But if you're here, that means he must have had kids...

...so if he produced your dad...

...that means you have another grandma somewhere in there, and...

It was a ridiculous real-life love story.

Tamahome?

There it was again... Calling me.

Are you all right?

Maybe you're tired from riding on something you're not used to.

Hm? Of course.

Too much fun for you, huh?

Big Brother!

Big Brother!

Here it is.

This is Takiko Okuda's...

Yeah. Along with her father Einosuke.

I am the Priestess of Genbu!

Help me! Help me, before I disappear completely...

The Priestess of Genbu...? But why...?

No... No, please...

Tamahome...

NO!!!

Yeah, he vanished. Yeah, it was that light.

Yeah. Right now.

I'm with them right now. This is driving me crazy!

Keisuke...

Yui thinks the same thing.

For some reason, Tamahome's been sucked back into that book.

I'll get into that room soon and have the book by the end of the day.

But even if you go there, it's the middle of the night.

Just leave this to me.

Cool, dashing thieves are all the rage nowadays, right?

Miaka isn't eating?

She wandered around in the rain without an umbrella for 2 hours looking for him.

I couldn't even watch her.

Here!

Let's go over what we know again.

First of all, the book didn't burn up.

Right. Einosuke Okuda wrote that...

...he tried all he could to burn it, but couldn't.

That's why he asked for it to be sealed away.

I don't think he just tried to burn it...

...but probably also tried everything to make it disappear.

So somebody stole it and then set the fire.

The timing's too close, too. It happened this morning!

If they were after the book...

...they wouldn't have to have set a fire, would they?

I'm wondering if someone else knows about the book besides us.

And if they open it up, will they be pulled into the book like before?

Ew, gross!

The phone! I have to call Toki!

What is it? What's gotten into you?!

A fifth priestess...

Yeah. I was thinking of calling you, too...

I knew it...

What about the records on Takiko? Anything show that she existed?

I'll check them again tomorrow morning. Along with that grave.

What's going on here?

All four priestesses have appeared in the story, right?

That ended "The Universe of the Four Gods," didn't it?!

This isn't king of the mountain, you know!

You can't just push in and say "Outta the way, I'M the new priestess!"

Why does poor Takiko have to disappear?!

So... So, as new priestesses enter the book...!

It'll happen to Yui and me, too...

Where am I...? Konan?!

Then I've returned to the book?

Why?

Miaka must be worried about me.

I'd better get back fast. But why am I back here?

And did the others come with me?

Um, e- Excuse me. Where...?

Of course. I'm dressed like a foreigner.

Miaka... Is this what it was like for you at first?

Rekka Shinen!

Pretending to be Tasuki...

Chichiri... His Highness...

Of course! Empress Houki! The palace!

What? One of the Suzaku Seven?

Yeah. I want to see Empress Houki. And His Highness's son.

His Highness's son? You mean Emperor Boushin?

I'm Tamahome. Hotohori's... One of Emperor Saihitei's companions!

What?! Tamahome?!

Tamahome, one of the legendary Suzaku Seven?!

He's returned from the other world!

The Prime Minister is bringing him here now!

Inform the prince! Hurry!

We've brought him, Your Highness!

I welcome you. Come closer. Closer, I said!

Y- Your Highness!

Don't worry! Great Celestial Warrior...

I've heard how you seven saved Konan.

And how Tamahome journeyed into the other world as well!

You look just like the legends say you do!

Your Highness, we still don't know if he really is...

Silence! You don't trust my judgement?!

Emperor Boushin...

Celestial Warrior, my name is Gyoushiku. I'm Boushin's grandson.

Grandson?!

Yes. The Celestial Warrior Hotohori...

...Emperor Saihitei, was my great-grandfather.

That much... That much time has passed?!

Your Highness, how long... How long has it been since then?

Emperor Saihitei died 50 years ago.

The shrine of Suzaku?

Yes. There we keep the holy relics of the Suzaku Seven.

There's no better place for you to tell me about...

...all your adventures till now, Lord Tamahome!

Come on! Come on!

Y- Your Highness! Don't run on ahead!

I haven't seen Prince Gyoushiku so excited in a long time.

It's thanks to you, honored Celestial Warrior.

Here! See? The holy relics of the Suzaku Seven!

Everyone's...

What the...? Why was...?

Who are you?!

You use the name of the Suzaku Seven...?! YOU I MPOSTER!

Imposter? Me?

Wait, please! No! I'm...

Silence! You think the shrine would repel one of the Suzaku Seven?!

If the holy light of Suzaku blocks you from it...

...then you're an imposter!

Take him away! Hurry!

Take him far away from the shrine of Suzaku at once!

Hit him! Hit him harder!

Drive the lesson to never try such a stupid trick again into his body!

Do you know just how serious your crime is?!

To build up the prince's hopes and then dash them like that?!

I'll make sure your body pays for its crimes!

No... I swear... I'm one of the Suzaku Seven!

I'm Tamahome!

You should be grateful we didn't kill you!

Idiot... Trying to impersonate one of the Suzaku Seven!

All right! Let's go!

Why...? Somebody, tell me.

Somebody...

...tell me why...

There you are, you slacker.

Yui.

I finally found you. I asked Keisuke.

He said you'd gone to school this morning as usual.

I looked all over school for you.

Yui...

My voice won't reach him... This ring...

Tamahome has one, too, but...!

I tried over and over to call him, but...

Come on, what was the point of that whole adventure?

It made us a lot stronger, didn't it?

It's no use!

All the sad things and the terrible things...

Those are all right. I can handle that.

I can remember it all. But... I'm scared of just vanishing...

Not just for me, but Tamahome and Hotohori...

...and Nuriko and everyone will...!

If everyone just vanishes from my memory, then...!

You dummy... You should worry about yourself.

It's all right. It'll be all right.

Just laugh and say it was a dream, like you always do.

Before good and bad...

...can change places with each other.

It faintly reaches to me, the voice of your soul.

I can't erase...

...my mind as it fades, because our love is there.

Right, I see. If you find out anything else, tell me right away.

Say hi to Tetsuya and Toki for me.

Oh, and Big Brother? Thanks.

Goodnight.

" HONGO"

TAIITSUKUN!!!

Show yourself! Taiitsukun!

Isn't she here?

Isn't this the place?

If an evil-hearted person came here, all they'd see is a rocky mountain.

Taiitsukun?

I have been waiting for you...

...Lord Nakago.

N- Nakago...?!

Your clothes.

It suits you well, My Lord.

I opened the door and walked out...

...on through this world towards you.

Groping over everything along the way.

Since I can't see the way ahead...

...I'm terrified, so I'll use...

...my love for you to erase my unease.

Meeting may be destined by past lives and the stars.

The heartbreaking sight of the two of us...

...is something that I treasure.

So, I want to believe in who I'll be.

That's why I can keep on trying.

" Hope is what makes miracles happen."

I won't forget your words to me.

Even if I see and embrace you...

...our hearts still can't come together.

My impatience sometimes makes me want to quit.

I pause, feeling hurt...

...but my mind's made up not to turn back.

Excitement can be a strong ally.

No matter how dark your night is...

...I think I can manage somehow.

But when I'm too sure of myself...

...you need to scold me.

So, I want to love who you'll be.

That's why we have met.

Don't close Pandora's Box yet...

...because the last thing in there is hope.

Before Tamahome appears a mysterious girl.

According to her, he's switched spirits.

Tamahome is tormented by his new role as Nakago.

And then a new Genbu Seven appears before me.

We're all caught in an enormous whirlpool.

Please, Miaka! We need your help!

Original Video Series " Fushigi Yugi - The Mysterious Play."

Episode 2: " Flash of Grief."

On sale soon. Watch for it!

Soi... Would you please quiet Ashitare?

Of course, Nakago!

Why do I have to be the driver on this bus?

Sorry about dragging you along with us, Tetsuya.

Oh, don't you worry.

I have to protect you from that junior pervert, right?

Who are you calling a "junior pervert"?!

Rejoice, Meteor Bells! Soon you will taste blood again!

Stop that, Suboshi! I'll tell your agent!

Aw, c'mon, Miss Touma.

That's Yui Hongo!

Jeez! I wish they'd sent us on a foreign vacation.

Instead it's out into the boonies to some hot spring in Gunma.

Um, please don't fire any life force blasts on the bus.

Making fun of the northern Kantou region is unforgivABLE.

Furusawa! How many times do we have to go over this?

It's UNforgivable, not unforgivABLE.

Right. Sorry about that.

"Good job on all your work this year."

" Relax and enjoy yourself at this lovely hot spring resort."

"Signed, Bandai, Yomiko, Shogakukan, TX, and Movic."

We really lucked out, didn't we?

- What about Studio Pierrot? - The producer's a cheapskate!

But, if we got these, the Suzaku guys must have gotten them, too.

Say, where's Amiboshi? Why isn't he on this bus?

He's probably on the other bus with THEM.

I see...

Lady Yui, not in front of the others!

You idiot...

"When we fall from prosperity, we just fall apart..."

Okay, thank you very much!

And next up is the hot, hot hit song that climbed...

...to number one on the character vocal hit chart!

I'm getting sick of this, you know?!

It was dumb luck! I'll knock him out with my next release!

I'm releasing three more CDs!

I'm really pissed at you guys!

We didn't say a thing!

Tasuki...!

What's up, Chiriko? Why do you look like you're gonna cry?

I feel sick...

WHAT?!!

You're sure?!

Hold it in, Chiriko!

I'll heal him right away!

It didn't work...!

Open a window!

You should go up front for this, you know?

Take care of me, sir.

Stop it!

Get away from me!

You're all mean!

Hey, aren't you guys listening to me?

Would you just SHUT UP?!

How many times do you have to sing that stupid song?!

Tamahome...

Miaka...

Tamahome...

Miaka...

Tamahome...

Miaka...

What's wrong, Amiboshi?

It's a message from my brother.

From Lady Yui...

"What the hell are you doing on that bus?!"

"You'll be sorry...!"

That sounds scary, you know?

I just don't get that girl.

All right! Let's write 'em an answer!

Hey, hold on there!

Ow! Look, Lady Yui, they're sending back a long reply!

"I like it here..."

" Because the wonderful Tasuki..."

"...is here with me."

Tasuki!

They know it's you.

" Knock it off, Fang Boy!"

Ow-w-w! Cut it out!

C'mon, deal with it!

Yeah! Who's he calling a "cackling homo"?!

That handwriting's from that other gay guy on their team!

It's not MY fault!

" Little Ghost! Little Ghost!"

Wow, check out what they wrote.

Tamahome, calm down. I'm not the one writing this.

How dare they say that!

- What?! Now Miaka's in on it! - Cut it out!

- I work with idiots. - Hey, Nakago.

Tamahome asks if you got ANY fan mail.

- Uh-oh. That did it. - Must've hit a nerve.

Lord Nakago only needs me, you know.

Uh-oh, that line's getting him even angrier.

Nakago! Don't do this! Please!

No, anything but that!

He's lost it.

Poor guy.

Better just give up.
