Ep. 41: Tamahome and Suzaku Seven rescue Miaka and stay with Tokaki in Sairou
Tamahome, Tasuki, and the Suzaku Seven rescue Miaka from Suboshi, arriving in Sairou to stay with Tokaki. Tamahome kisses Miaka, declaring their love cannot continue, a decision Tokaki supports as their union would never be consummated. Miaka and Chichiri contact Hotohori via magic mirror with an incomplete update. Suboshi returns Amiboshi to Makan Village, while Nakago confesses his love to Yui, which Soi overhears. Xing, Tokaki’s adoptive daughter, shares a legend about a kiss at sunset atop a temple tower ensuring lovers stay together. Miaka helps Xing prepare dinner; despite her poor cooking, Tamahome eats everything after she leaves. Tokaki instructs Xing to help Tamahome forget Miaka, but Miaka enters just as they appear about to kiss.
