Fushigi Yuugi: Dai Ni Bu EP6 - To Be With You Tomorrow

Taka and Tasuki awaken, only to realize that Taka has no reflection in a mirror. Taka, frightened of what this could mean, begs Tasuki not to tell anyone, especially Miaka. Things get worse when Chichiri alerts them of trouble.

In the real world, a military ship crashes into an island form that has seemingly appeared out of nowhere. The impact releases a strange light from the island-like form, which destroys the ship and sinks it.

Back in the scroll, Tamahome tells Miaka and the Suzaku warriors how he has come to be with them; having sensed that Taka's form would not survive much longer, Suzaku awakened Tamahome's sleeping form, and had ordered him to return to Miaka. Tenkou's power, apparently, has gotten far too strong, and although the plan had been for Tamahome and Taka - his "phantom replacement" - to eventually merge, this would no longer work, and Suzaku requires Tamahome's strength. Taka is distraught by this, feeling as though everything they had done for him to be reborn to join Miaka and for him to become who he once was has been for nothing, since Suzaku has decided to wake Tamahome anyway. Although the warriors see how this is plausible, they are somewhat reticent to accept this, although they voice that they do. Miaka, in shock and confusion, faints. While she's unconscious, Taka makes the decision to leave, feeling as though there is no more reason to stick around. He returns Tamahome's keepsakes to him, asking him to take care of Miaka. The Suzaku Seven try to convince him to stay, reminding him that he, not Tamahome, had gotten them where they are now, from lending Hotohori his body so he could hold his son, to believing in the goodness and courage of Tasuki, but Taka refuses to stay - his presence will just confuse and hurt Miaka. He is taken back to his room, where Keisuke confronts him for giving up and walking away after everything he and Miaka had been through.

Back in the scroll, Miaka has awakened and realized that Taka is nowhere to be found. She searches in vain for him, while Tamahome decides to tell Miaka "everything." Before accomplishing this, however, he appears to Taka in a mirror in the real world, and reveals his true nature to him—that he had been the phantom, until Tenkou stole all of Taka's memory orbs, including those that hadn't yet been found by Miaka and the others, and planted them in Tamahome, reversing their roles. Horrified and angered, Taka wanders the streets alone.

Tamahome finds Miaka and tells him that Taka had made a "hard" decision to leave, knowing he couldn't stay because he was only a shadow. He tries to convince Miaka that he is the Tamahome she has always loved, and she needs to forget about Taka. Despite his best attempts, however, Miaka cannot forget Taka, and she can sense that there is "something wrong" with Tamahome. Taka, finding strength in his love for Miaka, calls her to him, and she is returned to him in the real world by the real Suzaku's power. While the lovers happily reunite, a news update reports that the island that had appeared in the Pacific is headed to Tokyo. While Tetsuya and Yui discuss whether they should warn the authorities of Tenkou's impending arrival, Keisuke realizes that Tamahome is up to something.

Tasuki and Chichiri ask Tamahome where Miaka has gone. Tamahome, angered that Miaka has left her, attacks his former friends as Tenkou reveals himself and his control over Tamahome. As Tasuki and the Suzaku warriors decide to challenge Tenkou and Tamahome in the name of Miaka and Taka's love, Taka and Miaka make plans of their own in the real world. They bid goodbye to Yui, who belatedly realizes that the couple mean to go back into the scroll to fight, and may never return.

Taka and Miaka are brought directly to Tenkou's lair, where Tamahome, as the demon god Yousue, immediately traps and wounds Miaka. Tamahome challenges Taka, blaming Miaka for hurting him by choosing Taka over him. Taka, in turn, accuses Tamahome of being jealous of him, and momentarily breaks through his resolve. This only serves to anger Tamahome further, who then declares that he refuses to lose to Taka to himself. He fires a bolt of red energy and thinks Taka is defeated, only for the smoke to clear and reveal that Miaka broke free of her trap and jumped in front of Taka to protect him. As Miaka lays dying in Taka's arms, the Suzaku warriors - the spirits aided by Nyan-Nyan - finally break through the first of Tenkou's barriers, only to find Taka wounded and Miaka dead. This has given Tenkou enough time and power to regain a form in which he can return to the real world and conquer as a god the way he has always wanted to.

Taka, frozen in shock, is awakened by the voice of Miaka, who reminds him that he is stronger than he thinks he is. She promises that she already is and always will be with him. Taka finally understands his strength and purpose, and with the help of Miaka, finally defeats Tamahome by merging with him at last. Suzaku returns a fully formed Taka, carrying Miaka in his arms, to the real world to confront Tenkou. The rest of the Suzaku Seven join them, prepared to defend Taka and Miaka as they always have. Before anything can happen, Taka and Miaka sacrifice their lives and begin to invoke Suzaku, who is joined by Seiryuu, Byakko and Genbu. The reawakened Suzaku reminds Tenkou that he was never a god, but merely a mortal whose greed and corruption led him to be executed for sorcery in the Universe of the Four Gods. The Four Gods come together to seal Tenkou away forever.

The Suzaku Seven are returned to Mt. Taikyoku, where Taiitsukun explains that Taka and Miaka had given up their physical forms to bring Suzaku back and save both the real world and the Universe of the Four Gods. Taiitsukun offers Taka and Miaka a choice of where to be returned to physical form. Although Miaka at first rejoices in the thought of staying in this Universe, the Suzaku warriors convince them both to return to the real world. Miaka awakens in the real world to Taka promising that he is there with her.
