Miaka thought her adventures in the Universe of the Four Gods was complete when Suzaku granted her heart's wish to let Tamahome live in her world. However, on a visit to the grave of Takiko Okuda, Priestess of Genbu, Miaka discovers the story isn't over yet! Tamahome is pulled back into book to face an unknown evil that is threatening the essence of Takiko.

Back in the world of the Universe of the Four Gods, Tamahome is shocked to learn that he is no longer himself--he's now become his former enemy! In order to keep his sanity, Tamahome must adjust to his new lifestyle and overcome the illusions that surround him. Meanwhile, Miaka searches for a way to help the man she loves.

At last the evil that threatens the book and Takiko is revealed. Tenkou, the opposite force of Taiitsukun, reveals himself and his plans. However the Suzaku Seven along with other unlikely allies prove that it won't be an easy task. When all is said and done, Miaka and Tamahome must come to grips that Tamahome is a character from a book, and must stay in the book.

Life in high school has become a normal routine for Miaka. Tamahome, now known as Taka, attends a local college and the couple is happy. However the new transfer student in Miaka's class is familiar with the Universe of the Four Gods, and plots for their demise. Having Miaka thrown from the roof of the school seemed the perfect plan, but Taka leaps to her rescue and the pair lands back in Konan! Now Miaka must teach Taka to survive in the world of the book as they search for an unknown enemy.

To be reborn in Miaka's world, Tamahome's memories were sealed into small jewels. Finding these jewels is important - without them Taka will cease to exist! However the Suzaku Seven are not the only ones searching for the jewels and the race is on. The warriors start their search at the palace in Konan, where Houki and her son Boushin are silent in their greif for Hotohori. Taka resolves to help them, no matter what.
