Dear Tasuki,

      Okay…… let’s start from Volume 4, where Tasuki first came into the series. Tasuki first appeared in Mt. Reikaku, to kidnap Miaka; he thought Miaka was the wife of Eiken, so he stole her so that Eiken would have to battle in order to get Miaka back. So Tasuki took Miaka to a hideout. Just to fool around, he took off his shirt and tilted Miaka’s head up so he could kiss her. To his surprise, Miaka struggled back and punched him.

      Volume 5- Back here, Tasuki still cared for Miaka as a little sister. When Chichiri and Tasuki left Miaka to Nakago’s soldiers, Tasuki complained of leaving Miaka there, if something should have happened to her, they will be a bad name for men. Later Tasuki was worried when Miaka went under the tree to wait for Tama. So he and Chichiri went out to get Miaka. Miaka was about to get smashed by Tama’s nam-chuck(how do you spell it?), Tasuki rescued her. He was pissed that Miaka waited for a guy like Tama. Tasuki got really hurt and bandaged because of Miaka. Now let’s skip ahead.

      Volume 14- Here now is 2 years later after Miaka had returned back to her world. Once again, Miaka went back to the other world. But this time it was from the mysterious power of the scroll that Suzaku had given her. When Taka and Miaka arrived there, a monster quickly appeared, so out of nowhere, Tasuki came and rescued them. So then he brought them over to his house. At the dinner table: (Miaka):I'm so glad to see you again Tasuki!! (Miaka):Being with Taka like this is all do to you, Chichiri, and the rest of the Suzaku Seishi! (Tasuki):...... Gaji Gaji (Aidou):What? It's not like you to get all bashful, stupid! (Tasuki):Shut the hell up!! Who's getting bashful?...... DOSU This translation is by Tasuki no miko. (Anyways, if my brother thanked me, I wouldn’t blush, I would just boast and say he’s right. And before, in the earlier mangas, Tasuki didn’t act that way toward Miaka when she thanked him when he did something for her.)

      Volume 15- When Miaka got pushed from the roof the school, she was transported once again into the book world and she banged Tasuki’s head ^_^. Then an earthquake came and Taitsu-kun transported Chichiri, Tasuki, and Miaka to Konankoku. Miaka fell unconscious. So Tauski dragged her from the pond onto the rock so she could breath. He then gave her the famous, “artificial respiration” ^_^. After he did that, he was very self-conscious, he kept on touching his lips. Then he put his hand on her cheek, “Miaka….” He was blushing also. Then Chichiri came and scared the heck out of Tasuki. And if you want to refer to the OVA, when Taka came and immediately hugged Miaka to ask if she was alright, Tasuki stared at them the whole time, he was very jealous. Then later, after the demon left Boushin’s teddy. Miaka fell and Tasuki immediately used himself as a mat so Miaka won’t get injured. (Hm…… he didn’t rescue her like that before in the anime series….. I wonder why…….? ^_^) The conversation went like this: Sound: crack crack crack Miaka: Aghh Sound: crash Miaka: ...Tasuki! Thanks! Tasuki: It-It was nuthin'. You're heavy, though, so get off me! Sound: thump Chichiri: This chapter you've really been saving Miaka a lot; it's very admirable. But at the pond you also gave her a "kiss." Miaka: Huh? Tasuki: It's called "artificial respiration" ---!! (That was very cute, I thought!) And if you want to refer to the OVA, ok, when Taka and Miaka were about to leave, they were talking happily. As Tasuki stared at them, he scowled. He was jealous.

      Volume 16- The conversation went like this on the way to the temple: (Tasuki):...Aren't ya angry? (Miaka):Huh? (Tasuki):Because of whatever happened between Tamahome and that girl Miiru?! (Miaka):! (Tasuki):If ya ask me it's his fault he has a spell on him! (Tasuki):Didn't he go to that girl's place? "I don't remember anything"...isn't that convenient?! Tasuki thinks Taka doesn’t deserve Miaka. But later, he did say he was worried about Taka even like this. After Tasuki was bitten by the snake on his waist, Miaka sucked the poison out. During this whole process, Tasuki was blushing. After that, she took off her shirt o_O, and tore a part of it to wrap around Tasuki’s wound. She said it was in return for the artificial respiration, ^_^. On the way back, Tasuki can barely walk, so Miaka put his arm around her shoulders so she could help him walk While he was walking he couldn’t help but glance down her bra…. The conversation went like this. (Tasuki):...Miaka! It's OK, go on ahead! I'll be fine... Stagger (Miaka):No! You have a really deep wound! You got it protecting me (Tasuki):Y-yeah... Glance (Tasuki):If we come back like this Tamahome's gonna kill me (Miaka):!? (hehe) And then later, when Taka got the poison out. (Taka):Tasukii (Tasuki):Yeah? What is it Tama?! (Taka):What's with that? (Tasuki):WA----------H It's not what you think. It's a long story--------(Taka):What were you doing? Do I have to make you tell me e---verything? Taka was referring to the way Miaka was dressed. She was only wearing a bra and shorts.

      Volume 17- In the beginning, it was funny. Miaka suddenly came to the book world, and she saw Hotohori, Chichiri, and Tasuki bathing. When they saw her, they stood up, o_O. Taka got some of the stones taken from him, so Miaka was sad, Tasuki tried to talk to her, but she left him, and he frowned. And then, here comes a really cute scene: (Tasuki):...Why?...When you love someone that much, isn't it supposed to end pain and sorrow? (Tasuki):Why would someone fall in love if it makes them cry and get hurt?...I don't get it! (Hotohori):...Tasuki, when you love someone then you'll understand (Chichiri):Tasuki's finally hit puberty...Really late but (Tasuki):...I don't...get it... And this scene is very important. It later goes back to the tree scene. Then afterwards, Tasuki saw Miaka crying, (Miaka):It calms me being in his warm arms (Miaka):Just like it was with Tamahome... Zaku Zaku (Tasuki):...I still don't get it...If I fell in love with someone?...If I did Pita... (Tasuki):...If I did, would it make me cry like that?... CRY! This also refers to the tree scene later on…… Then later, he saw Taka and Miaka hugging and kissing, he frowned at that. And then comes the scene where Tasuki turns bad by Hikou. (Tasuki):...Tamahome, didn't I tell ya?...If you made Miaka cry again I'd make you sorry for it! (Tasuki):Hmph... ...What? You don't remember that either? Give me a break (Tasuki):You've always made me sick (Tasuki):No matter how much you hurt Miaka, she puts up with it (Taka):...Tasuki...!? (Tasuki):You came here to get all your memories? Don't make me laugh! (Tasuki):You've...never loved Miaka that much!! (Tasuki):I don't know when you'll disappear but I know you'll make Miaka sad again. That's the kind of guy you are!! (Tasuki):I can't stand by and watch anymore----------- I'll (Tasuki):TAKE MIAKA!! In that part, I think Tasuki was half conscious. So later, Tasuki tricked Miaka to the inn…… He offered her drinks and Miaka got drunk. Then he started making silly faces at her to make her laugh Then he takes her up to the room…… (Tasuki):...It's OK. Take it easy, Miaka! It's a dream, a dream! (Miaka):Huff Huff Huff (Miaka):Another...dream?... (Miaka):...Hu...h? Tasuki...where are we?... (Tasuki):An inn above the restaurant! I brought you here cause you were drunk and causing a disturbance laughing by yourself (Miaka):...Where are Taka and Chichiri...? (Tasuki):...Beats me (Miaka):"Beats me"?...But you said they'd be coming soon! (Tasuki):They're not coming Jara... (Tasuki):...Chichiri and Tamahome aren't coming Zoku... Gi (Miaka):Ha...Ah ha ha Oh no...Tasuki, you're drunk too. I'll...I'll go outside to look for them this time! Taka must be there by now... (Miaka):!! Dokun (Tasuki):I told you they're not coming...! Dokun Dokun Dokun (Tasuki):You won't be happy with Tamahome (Tasuki):I won't give you back to him (Miaka):Tasu...ki...!? Dokun Dokun (Tasuki):You're better off with me...I'll always make you laugh. You'll never cry again (Word Balloon):Puchi (Miaka):No (Miaka):Tasu...ki...you're acting strange...Wh...what's wrong...----------huh?! (Tasuki):Yeah...I'm acting strange, aren't I? I've always said I hated women but...you've always been different from "women" (Tasuki):Miaka is Miaka (Tasuki):The first time I met you...I thought you were a strange brat but...somehow you're suddenly becoming a "women"...Before long you'll be completely that way (Miaka):What...are you saying?... (Tasuki):Did you notice? (Tasuki):I'm a "man" now too (Miaka):Nmh (Miaka):No... You see, in this part, Tasuki said that he thought she was a little kid at first, but now she’s a “woman” Then later Taka came and Tasuki beat him up. Then Miaka said she loved Taka…… and so on. Then Tasuki realized that he shouldn’t betray his and Taka’s friendship like that. After that, Hikou comes and kidnaps Miaka. (Tasuki):...What...Hikou did to you was the same thing I did to Tamahome......Even so he doesn't blame me...neither does Miaka (Tasuki):Tamahome is important to me. Miaka too...And though I had always thought of her like a little sister (Tasuki):I...I did something like that...! ...As a man...I never thought I'd do such a dirty thing! (Tasuki):I...I don't care if I die...If it's for them then I... ... Kusha... (Chichiri):There...are no perfect humans, so people can't live alone...I understand, Tasuki. The 2 of us will Tasuki meant that he did think of Miaka as a little sister, but not anymore. Then later, they all rescued Miaka and came back to Nuriko’s house. And Chiriko was there. This part was very funny too (Chiriko):By the way, what have you been doing? (Tasuki, Taka, & Miaka):NANI!? (Tasuki):Na...na NANI?... Th-that was a failed attempt (Taka):Actually, Tasuki forced me to do it!! (hehe) NOW THE IMPORTANT PART FINALLY COMES!!!!! (Mwahhahahahahha) ^_^; (Tasuki):...How...come you didn't realize it...Tasuki... (Tasuki):You're hurt ...and breaking down...because of her (Tasuki):God...it's not..."friendship"...Idiot...... Rustle In that part, Tasuki was crying….. and remember what he said previously, (Tasuki):...I still don't get it...If I fell in love with someone?...If I did (Tasuki):...If I did, would it make me cry like that?... (AHA!)

      Volume 18- This is the last volume of FY. I will go straight to the fact. On page 109, in here, Taka and Miaka were married in the other world’s way. That thing with the bow. (Tasuki):Miaka's......laughing (Tasuki):I've never seen her...look so happy-------... In this scene, Tasuki looked extremely sad….. but he was happy for Miaka. In the last scene, it was cute also, it was when Miaka and Taka were about to return back to their own world: (Tasuki):Hey Miaka! Become "a really good woman"! (Miaka):Thank you...You too Tasuki "a really good man"! (Tasuki):Don't notice that now, idiot! OKAY! So now, did I prove my point?????? I spend like an hour on this…… sheesh…… So therefore, Tasuki DOES LOVE Miaka as more than a little sister!!!!!!!!! ALSO, ALL OF THESE SCENES ARE TRANSLATED BY TASUKI NO MIKO!

(Sad) Psychic Sora

Nuriko

Dear Tasuki,

      Well, maybe this way will be more understandable? Tasuki was concerned that Miaka was unhappy and upset. Even when he saved her life from drowning, he was watching Taka and Miaka get back together, and he was wading in the water. (remember the look on his face?) I think he was feeling sad for her and concerned, that Taka was not really looking after her. After all, Tasuki had to save her life a lot-as you saw, it wasn't Taka. I think Tasuki was concerned and sad that Miaka had to suffer like that. Tasuki could not understand why she was crying, and why Taka was hurting her like that. He even told his fellow seishi that-that he didn't understand. He cared about her and thought if he were Taka, he would not treat her that way-make her sad. (that doesn't mean he is in love with her) Just was saying he could do better than what Taka was doing lately. That don't mean he was in love with the girl. He thought he could do better than the sh*tty job Taka was doing at the time. (I don't mean Taka was doing a poor job, it was that Tasuki thought Taka should be making her happy!) It shows he loved her and cared. He wanted to see her happy, and it was breaking his heart to see her sad. His thoughts were on Miaka at the time because she was suffering. Sad, that Taka wasn't making her happy-he thought. Because at the time, Tasuki saw that Taka wasn't living up to her happiness. He thought that was just wrong that she was sad.

      Being the gallant brave and loyal man he is, Tasuki thought he could help by looking after Miaka while Taka was going through his "issues" Miaka needed all the help she could get because as you saw, Tasuki had to rescue her a few times.... That is why I believe he went after Miaka on horse back. Someone had to watch and protect Miaka! Did you see Taka there? No! Taka wasn't there, so Tasuki, caring for both of them, looked after her for Taka. Wondering why Tasuki was there? I think because he loved Taka and Miaka so much the same, and was sad and concerned for her safety. Taka wasn't there to protect her!:) I think he loved Taka and Miaka in the same manner. That is why Tasuki and Taka became even closer after that trial. Tasuki was watching and could see that Miaka needed to be looked after. That is why he did so! He was upset for what what Taka was doing to her, and the bad guy pulled those caring thougths out and used them for his perverted evilness....etc...

      That is why Taka and Miaka were trying to explain to Tasuki, to bring him back to his good side, that Miaka was crying because she was happy. That she cried because they were in love-which Tasuki could never understand that. (why would they need to explain that she was happy because she loved Taka? Because Tasuki needed to see Miaka was happy/ Tasuki was under that bad guy's control too!) Tasuki thought Taka wasn't being "a man" when he was evil. So, he thought he could be that man for her, that don't mean he was madly in love with her. Just shows that he cared about her and Taka. He thought he could make Miaka happy, because Taka wasn't. But that caring was preverted by water-boy. Tasuki said he always thought Miaka like a sister, and I believe so. Water-boy just perverted that caring for Miaka into something dirty. Tasuki could never get why they had to suffer so much, and being the loyal friend he was tried to make her happy, and was angry at Taka. That is why he was beating the sh*t out of his best friend, because he was upset and disapointed in Taka. Taka was not doing his duty to Miaka, Tasuki thought. That is why Taka and Miaka were trying to explain it to Tasuki, so he could understand.

      *If Tasuki ever said it was more than friendship, I believe that could mean anything! More than friendship doesn't mean in love! There are so many different kinds of relationships, and Tasuki NEVER said it is more than friendship-I'm in with her? So there is no proof to that he was meaning I love her, at that time in that scene. Of coarse she was his Miko too! They share a strong bond, as with her and everyone else! Except her and Taka share a deeper bond, they are in love. Which Tasuki couldn't get in the OAV.

      EXTRA thought: Tasuki's last thoughts in OAV I on Tamahome and Miaka were unhappy because he didn't see why Suzaku wouldn't let two love-birds stay together. I don't think he would be able to start having feelings after Miaka leaves for her. One, she is gone, and two, he wanted them to be together. He anted them together, so it would be very hard and not logic for him to start developing "I'm in love with the girl" the two years he is gone. Okay, I hope this is understandable? I just think Tasuki has been through a lot! I was just kidding about that sister-harem thing Tasuki *hands Tasuki a bottle of sake* Care if I join you?

Now then, have fun and be grateful beyond words that they aren't like my cousin Dennis. Also be thankful I'm not in my chibi form and making you watch me as well!! *hides inside her storm cloud* Kishi: You meanie! *kicks Tasuki's knee again* You mean, kowai faced man! Desha: *cries and runs off to find a nicer seishi since Tasuki is so mean!*

Tasuki

Dear Tasuki,

      If Tasuki thought of Miaka more of a sister, why did he say he thought of her as a sister and not more Gen-chan? I didn't say Tasuki would do that just to anyone, I was saying Tasuki told Chichiri he had dirty thoughts, and he had to thoses to begin with. Those thoughts already in his mind, I didn't say he would do that with just anyone. But I don't know, he is a bandit, and Kouji did take him to that brothel. You have to remember too, Tasuki was being under control. He had lost his reason, and those thoughts were brought out.

      Yes, he cared for Miaka, he wanted her to forget, but he tried to do that in the only way he knew how to do. That is why he blammed his dirty mind, which I believe was with him before he met Miaka. That doesn't mean he is in love with the girl. Just becuase he wanted to show Miaka that he loved her, does not mean he is "in love" with her. Love comes in many forms, and as Tasuki told Chichiri, he always thought of Miaka like a little sister, he had never thought more than that. That is what he said. He might have been using the only method he knows how to show a woman he loves her, but that still don't mean he was "in love" with her. I know about his experience with the brothel, and that OAV 1 was not written in the manga. The fact he teased Chichiri with the pretty girl thing was part of his personality. They might have made it up, but Tasuki is like that. He was probably drinking sake with a pretty woman the first night of his man-hood-when Kouji took him to that brothel. (The truth is said in just sometimes) We have to be careful what we say when we joke around, the truth can come out. I think he would like it very much if a pretty girl served him sake, and took care of him, without anyone knowing of coarse, that he would enjoy it. Da*n, what flesh and blood man would not? Just because he says he hates women, or now that he told Miaka, he would stop saying that...that don't mean he wouldn't drink sake and party with the pretty ladies.

      Just becuase he said it wasn't friendship, this is....that don't mean he was "in love" with her like I said. He might have realized how much he loved her, but that could be in different forms. I have a brother, and I love him. I have friends, male friends yes, that I love dearly, and see more as friends-but as family, but that don't mean I am "in love" with them. I will say I love them-but that kind of love is still strong! I believe that he loves her too, but I was making a point that love comes in different ways. Why does eveyone think he's madly "in love" with her? He just wasn't acting like that in the manga or in the anime. They might have shown it up close and personal, before he had fallen under that water, how his emotion was, but that doesn't mean that. Those were my points, and I strongly believe that he did love her. Tasuki can love her, care for her, have his thoughts on how to make her happy, try to make her feel better, save her life, etc.... he can be all like that, but isn't a father or mother the same way? Or a brother to a sister? Or vise versa? ( not all families, but....) I care about my brothers and sisters like that, we are a tight family. so you can't throw that fact out the window that a mother or family member would try to make their family member happy, or take care of them to make them forget their pain? My family and friends have done that a lot for me, when I needed it, that don't mean they are madly "in love" with me. I have felt that way towards friends who needed comfort and help, who were in pain. I have felt that way about friends, and thought of ways to end their pain, but that don't mean I'm in love with them. Both are different. There is "in love" (like Miaka and Taka) And there is "loving someone" (like Nuriko, how he said he loved everyone, including Miaka)

      There just wasn't anymore evidence to show that Tasuki was "in love" with Miaka. Not in that way! And how can someone fall in love with someone when they haven't been around them in 2 years? He hadn't spent anymore time with her, so he falls in love with her? Doesn't make sense. He wasn't having feelings for her before she left, and all of a sudden he develops them for her after she leaves? With no signs of feelings before she left? That doesn't seem right. Or logic. He felt a connection to her, because his Miko is connected to the warriors, so I think they all love her like family. I think Tasuki loved her like his very own sister who didn't throw logs at him. He loved her very much, but not sexually or in love with her. Just like I said, the bad guy took advantage of that feeling towards Miaka, and perverted it, made Tasuki act out on his dirty side, so he could disrupt the warriors. Evil is always perverting something good. Is it not?? That is what happened to him. And yes, he didn't know how to show it, so he tried his best. (Since at the time, Tasuki was starting to realize how much he cared for Miaka. He cared for her yes-but that don't mean he is in love with her. I think he was shocked on how much or what he would do to protect her as well.)

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

      Recently, a friend of mine and I were hanging out at her house when I bring some of my anime stuff, and she saw Nakago and went Nakago crazy, and won't listen when I EXPLAIN that Nakago is BAD, Nakago must DIE. She even wants to see him without his *&#$%^& armor! Any ideas of how to get it through her warped, twisted skull that Nakago is BAD? o.O

Dear Chichiri,

      *Feels the tears well up in her eyes. Feels the stuffy feeling in her nose that every one feels when they are about to cry. Sniffles quietly. Tears begin to fall from her eyes. She dries them carelessly with the sleeve of her dress. Tybus walkes into the room and places a comforting hand on her shoulder.* Anything I can help with? *He wipes the tears away with the thumb of his right hand. Shakes her head at him and smiles weakly* I'll be okay, Tybus. *Tybus smiles at her and pats her shoulder then walkes away.* *continues crying. Kymra comes into the room. She sees the tears and frowns* What's wrong? *Looks down. Kymra gaze follows, and when she sees the cause of the tears, she nods her head in understanding. She gives a reassuring smile, and walks out* *eyes burn and her cheeks are wet with tears. Tries to blink them away, but they refuse to leave. Doesn't want to cry....Drops her used knife into a tub of water and dumps the onions into the boiling soup. Pours the soup into a bowl and offers it to Chichiri, drying the tears caused by the smell of the onion* Want some soup? ^_^

Dear Nuriko,

      I really need some advice on what to do with my hair!! ^^;; I have bangs, it's shoulder length and I have streaks in it... and there's a costume ball coming up at my church!! It's formal so I'm going to be wearing my best dress which is one of those Chinese style dresses (black). But I don't know what to do with my hair! And also, I have to help set up... darn it... So how should I wear it?

Dear Nuriko,

      I don't think my mom's gonna let me avoid daylight for the rest of my life because of a threat of skin cancer. She says I need to get a tan because I look mushroomy. I do not look like a mushroom! The makeup ideas sound great! After grad, should I hem my dress up? It's way to long as it is now for me to wear it to anything else without looking to dressy. "But it's a princess dress! You can't hem up a princess dress!" (a quote from my friend when I told her about hemming it up at church today)

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

      I've got a few questions, but they aren't all relevant to each other. 1)If you liked a girl, how would you let her know? (I doubt that even you wonderful seshi could be so brave as to just go right up to her and say you had a crush on her.) I want an answer from all of you. And this one isn't for you. Is the person who went on as Chaos-chan the same person who wrote the Cursed Fanboys! series?

Dear Hotohori,

Out of all the Seiryuu, you preffer Soi?! But..*realises she can't really word out a rational question on the topic, so goes simple*..Why Soi?! Soi scared me, honastly. =:P She was weird.

Dear Tamahome,

      Hello! I'd like to know what you think about a "graphic shrine" I've created for you and Miaka, which is at http://hometown.aol.com/alycemcmillan/mia_tama.html. (I think it still needs a bit of work, but maybe I'm being a bit too critical of myself) I'm looking to create these for a webpage I'm making, and the "shrines" will be the only graphic on the page. Whatever you'd like to see as a graphic, let me know! Arigatou!

Dear Tasuki,

      *pops to the surface and lazily floats on her back, grinning* Hero? Hm, that isn't how *I* would describe you. Hotheaded, temperamental, emotionally unstable, a horrible father, a non-swimmer...THESE are what you are. *evil grin*

Chichiri no Aijin

Dear Tasuki,

      I totally disagree with Emeric. At the beginnnign, Tasuki DID thought of Miaka-san as a little sister. But then, after the two years has gone by without seeing her, he realized his TRUE feelings towards her. And I REALLY STRONGLY don't believe that Tasuki would do something like this to just anyone. Part of his doing, is to try to make Miaka to forget about Taka, so she can be happy. Another part is that he loves her. He wants to show Miaka how he loves her. And being as inexperienced as he is already. The only way he could come up with to show how he cares, he tried to make love to her. He thought making love to Miaka could show her how he feels and that she would love him. He thought of this, 'cause of his experience in a brothel back when he was only 15. That is the only experience he had with women. I got all this from the free talks in FY volume #17.... and from previous volumes. Also, OVA 1 does NIT count. It is made only in the anime. And he was just saying that he would like to drink with a girl to tease Chichiri. Also, in volume #17, I don't know if you read it or not, Emeric, but Tasuki said, "Baka, why didn't you realize this before..... this isn't friendship.... this is....." And he was crying..... So to say this, I am strongly pissed! I really believed that he loves her. I may not have wrote this very cleary, but I hope all of you might understand.

Dear Nuriko,

      *Takes a deep breath* You know, I've been feeling better lately...I'll just try not to let myself get annoyed by those kids. Besides, something really exciting happened... *Runs out and comes back with a one-day-old white puppy* Isn't he adorable??? *Holds the puppy up to Nuriko's face* Yes, my dog is a mother, and this puppy has 7 brothers and sisters. ^_^ *Puppy yawns and whines a bit* What should I call them? They don't have names yet. ^_~

Dear Tasuki,

      Hihi Tasuki-san! I think you've got a great personality, even if you don't particularly find women interesting, actually that was what was so likeable about you, Especially your strange affinity to peaches @_@ (the Puru Puru thing), but I won't go there! heehee. I wanted to ask you if it was painful for you when you got your ears pierced *ducks behind the couch* I know I know! It's a weird question but indulge me! I know you didn't have eargun things in those times, so...
