Synopsis:
Taka and Miaka have been together for eight months now. Miaka's new classmate, Shigyou, runs for President of the student council, while Yui also attempts to run for office. Meanwhile, Keisuke and Tetsuya have formed a club in their own school about the , which a new student named Ms Kamashiro shows interest in and joins. Back at Miaka's school, Shigyou watches from a distance, declaring that humans hold "the true nature of evil" deep in their hearts, and while weaker alone, together they would readily turn on those they deem weaker. Miaka is tricked into meeting Taka on the roofdeck of the school, but realizes that someone has tricked them both. A group of Miaka's classmates trap them on the roof, acting hostile and accusing Miaka of flirting with Shigyou despite being in a committed relationship, an act they deem punishable. Miaka is thrown from the school's roof, and Taka jumps after her to catch her, but they both seem to be headed for disaster. It's then that Suzaku, who has been calling to Miaka for help, arrives and saves them with a scroll of the before they can hit the ground. Yui, seeing the red light of Suzaku, runs outside to investigate, but runs into Shigyou and Miaka's classmates. After Shigyou wishes her luck in the coming student council elections, Yui finds Suzaku's red scroll on the ground, and realizes where Miaka and Taka might have ended up. Meanwhile, finding themselves suddenly in the book/scroll's world again, Miaka and Taka run encounter Tasuki, who Taka regrettably can only barely remember ever knowing. Chichiri later joins them, supplying Taka with an orb in Tasuki's possession that turns out to contain Tamahome's memories of meeting Tasuki. The reunited friends then head to Mt. Taikyoku for answers, where they are reunited with the spirits of Hotohori, Nuriko, Chiriko and Mitsukake. After Chichiri gives his own memory orb to Taka, who then remembers Chichiri and more of his life as Tamahome with Miaka, Miaka realizes that finding each Suzaku warrior's orbs and returning them to Taka would give him his memories back. Taiitsukun, however, informs her that it won't be quite so easy; conflict and evil are brewing, and it's up to Miaka and the Suzaku Seven to find a way to fight back and win. While this reunion happens in the scroll, in the real world, Shigyou has won the student council presidency, seemingly by default - Yui has not shown up to the election. He makes a speech to the student body about rising up against authority and "being reborn." His speech hypnotizes the students, who applaud him, seeming to fuel his power, which causes a massive earthquake on Mt. Taikyoku. Miaka and the warriors don't have enough time to react, and Miaka finds herself in danger. Tasuki attempts to save her.
