“Kaijin...” My miko said for the second time. I flew down from the heavens to appear before her, changing into my human form. I stood before her and looked at her and the other seishi, one by one.

Amerufi; A female with long raven black hair that was tied into a tight, strict looking bun at the top of her head and hard green eyes with soft full lips.

Kokie; A male blacksmith, with large strong arms that had muscles piled atop muscles to make the hard work that he did for a living before the Byakko no Miko had found him easier. He also had brown hair that was cut so short that it was just centimeters from his head and small hazel eyes.

Toroki; A male who had been stricken blind as a baby. This made his eyes a strange whitish color. He also had his long red hair pulled back in a low ponytail.

Karasuki; An excitable young female who had a horrible unreturned crush on Kokie and was constantly hanging all over the poor man. I had to feel sorry for the former blacksmith. Her long teal hair flowed freely down her waist and her big emerald eyes darted everywhere, just looking for a place to make trouble.

Tokaki; A perverted, wild looking man who slept with woman of all types. He had snowy white hair that was cut so that two of his bangs fell down his face in front of his eyes. Whenever this man saw a pretty girl, he would instantly begin to flirt uncontrollably with her. It was how his miko had found another one of the seishi, Subaru, who was now Tokaki's lover. (This, however, didn't stop Tokaki from being a skirt chaser.)

Subaru; Strangely enough, this kind gentle girl was Tokaki's lover. She had long white hair, that resembled Tokaki's, and had parts of it tied up in two loops on the top of her head. She also had big, innocent blue-green eyes, although I had to doubt if she was still as innocent as she looked with Tokaki as her lover.

Tatara; A gentle man who was my miko's lover. He had long brown hair that was tied back in a loose ponytail and soft, slightly slanted, green eyes. His undying love for my miko was admirable, but I was afraid that their love could never work out.

And Suzuno. My miko. She stood before me, her small, stubborn chin tilted up so that she could look at me, her beautiful blue eyes squinting because of the bright white light that came from me, filling the room.

“What is your second wish?” I asked in a big commanding voice that all could hear.

“I... I wish...” She shuddered, intimated by me, just as she had been the first time she saw me. One of the seishi, Tatara, walked up to her and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him gratefully and then spoke in a loud clear voice that held no trace of her earlier fear. “I wish to stay here in this world with Tatara forever. I wish that we will never be separated.” She waited patiently for me to grant her wish, hope and happiness filling her eyes. I wanted to grant her wish so much. Her sweet innocent little wish. The only thing that she wanted for herself. But I couldn't. Not matter how much I wanted to... No matter how much I wished that I could... Not even all four gods combined could grant this wish. Not even Suzaku who's powers centered around love, would be able to grant this wish.

“I'm sorry... But that is the one wish I cannot grant,” I said slowly. My miko's eyes filled with tears.

“B-but... You have to! I wished it and... You just have to!” She cried as tears began to slide down her cheeks. Tatara rapped his arms and kissed her gently, whispering things in her ear, so softly that even I couldn't hear him, to help her feel better and to calm her down. It tore at my heart to see her tearstained face. I longed to be able to comfort her; to find a way to grant that wish. But my power could not extend so far; such a desire was impossible to be fulfilled. Knowing that I could not give my miko the one thing she wanted for herself, my heart filled with grief and humility.

Finally my miko turned towards me again. Even with her cheeks tearstained she looked regale and beautiful. “Then... Please Byakko... Take me home! Take me back to my world, where I belong...” This wish I could grant. And so... I did. Suzuno slowly began to disappear in the same white that had brought her to this world. As I watched her go, I had an idea. Maybe... Maybe I could help her be with her love forever. Or... At least after death.”

In between the two worlds, I met her. “Suzuno...” I said. “When you go back home, I will have to try to devour you. But... If you are strong-willed, you will be able to live. If you do... Then I promise you... Someday you will be reunited with the one you love. I cannot grant you happiness with him for the rest of your life... But this I can grant you...” And then I left. When she was home, I began to devour her, but she fought me off. And so, I waited. When she died, she and the one that she loved most would be reunited. I would make sure of that. After all... It was the most I could do for a miko so brave and loving...

End

Hm... Okay... This really sucks... But oh well. If you couldn't tell, this is from Byakko's POV. I think that I made it clear, but just in case I think that I'd better put it in here. I hope that you liked this, even if it was awful. Also, if you feel like you've already read this, then you probably have. I posted it before, but I accidentally deleted it. I also list all my reviews! ;-(

Also, you may have noticed that some of my characters seem a bit like some of Kaze-chan's characters from her story “It WAS a Normal Day in the Market”. (If you haven't already, then I suggest that you read it. It's really good.) When I was writing this, I didn't realize that I was copying her, but somewhere in the back of my brain, I must have for the matter has been brought to my attention. I give all the credit to Kaze-chan for these characters, although some of them I did make up. But most of them are hers. I am also very sorry for doing this and not putting this note in at first. Kaze-chan has very kindly forgiven me and asked nothing in return for me stealing her ideas but to put in this note. Once again, if you like this piece of crap, then you will love he story and even if you don't like my story, you should read it. Her story is much better than mine and if you like the Byakko Seishi, then you will most likely love it. And if you hate the Byakko Seishi, then I don't see why you even reat this fic. Anyway, all the credit for most of these characters goes to Kaze-chan (not counting the one's that Yuu Watace made up). I am enternally grateful to her for letting me use them

Please review.
