Volume 15

I guess a few days passed, one day Miaka came home from school, and came to her room she sees the same beast staring at the group picture with all 7 Seishis. She throws the scroll at the beast and he disappeared. So... what's so important about that picture?? Anyways she decides to keep the picture with her.

Next day she finds Yui, she was practicing her speech for the Vice President for Student Concil. They heard a teacher yelling at a student, Yui recognise him as Tetsuya's relative. San Yuan (I'm sorry I dont know how to pronounce his name in Japanese. San Yuan is how you would pronounced in Chinese) - So I'll call that guy San Yuan for now. The teacher is about to give San Yuan the stick (hit him, teacher can hit student with stick in Japanese School) because he thought that he was being rude.

When the teacher hits, Ren showed up and took the hit for San Yuan. He gave the teacher a little lecture, at the same time another popular guy showed. He is the current President of the student concil. His word really stopped the teacher. So the teacher left without saying a word.

When Miaka is doing her chores she accidently sees San yuan and Ren together, there was a weird atmosphere, suddenly someone grabs her from behind. Heheh that scared her. It was Taka.

He came to school because Tetsuya asked him to be the coach for a Shao Lin martial art club. Well... for money... Taka will do it!

Tetsuya was asking a favor to Taka for San Yuan. Taka tells her they will leave together after school. She also reminded herself to show Taka the group picture, and probably taka will remember something about it.

So after school, Miaka went to the gym to find Taka, cause that's where they were suppose to meet.
But instead, she finds San yuan. He was weird, he attacked Miaka, and rip her clothes off, it seems like he was looking for the picture (his intention wasn't to rape her)

Good thing Taka came in time and stop San yuan, both of them realized that San yuan seemed to be possessed or something. He's not himself. After he ran away, Miaka realized the picture she had changed. It was a group picture with the Seishis, now its Hotohori and his palace. What does that mean.

In the meanwhile, the President of student council is about to leave when he encounters the same beast that always attacks Miaka.
He tries to run, but the next thing you know he fell off the balcony.
Many student were shock, Miaka and Taka also went to the scene because they heard him scream.
Ren was there checking if the president was still breathing. He wasn't dead. Ren say it's better not to say anything about this, because the school's name would be stained and the president's name as well.

People thought he had a point so all agree with him.
Later on Miaka showed Taka the picture and explained to him the change of it.
Taka said it might be a hint where the next stone is.

So now, at school, since the student souncil's president is "injured" they all need to vote for a new President. People were all asking Ren to run for it. Well he agreed.
Ok, the voting day, Miaka was helping Yui doing a supporting speech, she made a fool of herself, and was kicked off the stage by Yui. Heheh, that's cute.

After that it was Ren's turn, he went on stage. Let's say his speech sounds more like a revolution speech than a running for Prez speech.
For some weird reason, everyone just started applauding. They all seemed possessed except for Miaka. Eventhough she thought something was wrong, but she doesn't know what. Will Taka was standing behind the stage watching everything. After that they meet up.

At cooking class, Miaka tasted her food (for the first time). Surprisingly it was good! Everyone were trying it out. Miaka can cook!

At that time her beeper showed a message. It must be Taka she thought. It says meet him at 8 o'clock North roof.

Miaka went to find Taka at 8 o'clock, but insetead it was the ex-student council prez. He was asking if Miaka saw his glasses. And suddenly he screamed "give them back!" and his face was cover with blood. He started pushing Miaka. Miaka fell from the roof, but don't worry, the red light appeared and bring her into the book.

Once again she dropped on Tasuki's head.

She was back to Mountain Taichi, with Taitsukun. Taitsukun quickly tells her that she found the whereabouts of the next stone. They have to head to the palace as soon as possible. At that time the whole mountain shook, it seems it was going to collapse. It was Tenkou, his power became strong enough to destroy Mountain Taichi. She uses her power to let the seishi escape.

Miaka and tasuki fell into a lake close to Konan. Tasuki did CPR to save Miaka, hehe interesting kissing scene between Tasuki and Miaka! (NOOOOOOO! i'm heart broken! j/k! ^_^)

And Chichiri suddenly appears when he thought he was alone. hehe it's funny!
Nyan Nyan also escaped from the blow. Chichiri announced the bad news to Miaka, saying that Taitsukun didnt' get out, and the mountain is covered with a barrier.
The rest of the people are blown away to different places.

So first place they want to go is the Konan palace to find the next stone to save Taka.
When they got there, they find Hotohori flotting in the Suzaku shrine of the palace. the guards came and recognize them. The emperor council tells Miaka and company that the emperess, Houki, is very sick, and their little emperor (hotohori's kid!), Boushin still doesn't speak.

Suddenly by surprise a kid grabbed Tasuki's leg. He screamed and calls him a brat, but not later, he finds out that he was the emperor, Boushin, he was carrying the teddy bear that Miaka gave Hotohori 2 years ago.

Hotohori came and he was proud of having him as his son. Suddenly Nyan Nyan told them to back off from the child. A monster appeared from the Teddy Bear.

Meanwhile, Taka was worried about Miaka and went to find her. Instead he finds Ren trying to destroy the scrol that Miaka left behind. He was calling the ex-student council prez his "toy". Basically it was clear that he hypnotized him.
Taka interfered and ask him who he was. But he immediatly realized that Ren was Tenkou's employee. Ren attacks Taka and disappeared.

Back to the palace, everyone is trapped by the monster, Tasuki can't use his fire afraid that he would harm Boushin. So Hotohori takes Boushin's body, and took his sword to kill off the monster. It's kind of funny...

After killing the monster, Hotohori still using Boushin's body went to see his wife, Houki. She was happy to see him... well... yeah... (You should read the manga, this part is kind of funny, and touching)
He asked Houki if she knows anything about the stone, she said that when she was pregnant a green stone went into her mouth, and she feels the heat, it went away when Boushin was born.
That means.. the stone was in boushin's body... now.. the question is how to get it out.

The maids who were walking down the palace hall with Boushin food meets Ren, and they were hynotized, except no one knows. They came, Hotohori leaves Boushin body to let him eat. Right about when the maid was going to stab Boushin with a knife, Chichiri stopped her. While Chichiri and Nyan Nyan are busy trying to stop the maid, Tasuki runs out to find the person behind the scene, and finds Ren. He sees Ren turn into the beast that always attack Miaka. He uses his fan, and the beast ran away.

When she got back, she finds Taka lying on the ground... she thought he was dead, but he wasn't. Taka told her about Ren.

At school Yui was voted to be student council VP, and Ren the president. She told her about the meeting after school. She tells Miaka she has a bad feeling about Ren.

During the meeting, Ren suggested an revolutionary idea to the student council, it was a crazy idea, Yui disagree, but everyone agrees. Seems like Ren was mind controlling those people. Miaka and taka were peeking from the other side.

When Yui left the room, Miaka decides to go ask Yui how it went.

While Yui passes by a window, the glasses suddenly broke and the pieces stabbed into yui body causing her a lot of pain. Miaka got there on time, she saw Ren standing from a far looking and smiling.

Miaka ask someone to bring Yui to the nursing room. She runs to the student council meeting room, Taka tries to stop her but she went in. She was caught by Ren, Taka was held by the other student who were being controlled. Miaka was controlled by Ren. Ren explained, the more emotional you are the easier you are to control. unlike Yui, she is much less emotional than anyone.

Miaka was totally at his control, he forced her to unzip her skirt and kiss Ren. A student took the scroll from her and throw it outisde the window. Taka screamed, and a teacher came and saw Miaka trying to "seduce" Ren.

Not long after it caused a lot of rumour. Miaka was pushed around by many people. She tries to find the scroll in the school's back yard.
People were laughing at her, and critisizing Taka also. Miaka got really pissed, that's when Yui appeared. Yui ask her what's going on, so Miaka explained to her. Yui decides to help Miaka find the scroll.
Miaka came close to the meeting room where they were, and Taka appeared. They immediatly notice that they were surrounded...

Meanwhile Yui finds a student that was at the student council meeting and ask her to give back the scroll. She figured that the scroll is very important, Ren wouldn't just throw away something that important. She was attacked by that student, but she was prepared. She had a basball bat. So she hit the girl with the bat, and found the scroll on her.

Miaka and Taka were chased by Ren and other students. They were trapped, but Yui came in time and throw the scroll to Taka. It reacted with Miaka's watch and brought them back to the palace.

The palace was surrounded by an evil aura. And there were monsters everywhere. Miaka and Taka managed to get inside and find the rest of the people. They were working hard to defeat the monster and protect Houki and Boushin. They manage to find the main body of the monster. Hotohori took his sword and kill it off. Everything was back to normal.

At that moment, Houki and Boushin managed to see Hotohori and hear him.

Boushin walked toward Hotohori and tries to hug him... but sniff, so sad. He
went right through Hotohori, since Hotohori does not have a body. Taka decides to lend Hotohori his body so he can hold his son. (This part is so moving!)

Hotohori tells his son to take care of Houki, and tell him to be a good emperor and be good to the people.

And for the first time Boushin opened his mouth and called him Father.
(AWWWWWWWWWW! I'm gonna cry!)

A stone came out of Boushin body, and went into Taka's. Taka gained his other memory back.

Hotohori thanked Taka for lending him his body. Now they leave the palace. And Miaka and Taka decides to go on a celebration trip with just the two of them.

(Heheh, end of book 15)
