Episode 15- Return from the City of Death

- The bandits apologize to Miaka. She asks if any of them are/know of Tasuki (that's the bandit that has the character on his body). Everyone is clueless, but Genrou says he knows him. He says that Tasuki was their former leader and he is now dead.

- Next morning, they visit Tasuki's grave. Miaka is crushed because she needs all the seishi to summon Suzaku......and Tama won't come back till they are all assembled. A bandit says that he's heard a rumor that there is someone who can revive dead people in a village to the north, Choukou. Miaka decides to go there.

- The gang leaves as Genrou and Koji watch. Koji suggests that Genrou really wants to go with them.....but he denies it (but we see that he really does).

- The gang makes a pit stop, and Hotohori gets Miaka some fresh water. He tells her that they will get Tama back and not to worry. Nuriko hears this and says that he (Nuriko) has given up Hotohori because he (Hotohori) loves Miaka too much. (this is said after Hotohori leaves of course)

- Yui wakes up Tama because she thought that he went back to Miaka. As Yui and Tama talk, Nakago comes and says that he needs to have a word with her. Spies tell him that Miaka is having a hard time gathering the seishi, being that Tasuki is dead. Yui orders them to continue watching Miaka and her sei.

- The gang arrives in Choukou. The mirror tells them that one of the sei is in Choukou!!! Miaka rejoices, but at the same time crashes into a young woman. In return, Miaka carries her to her destination. The woman's name is Shoka. They arrive at a house, where Shoka revives a dead man right before their eyes!!!!! A man in the house tells Miaka and the gang that their is a horrible disease called Shikkonki that is plaguing the village. It causes lots of pain for whoever catches it and doctors have no cure. Shoka revives the people that die from it and returns them to a healthy state.

- Miaka asks Shoka to revive Tasuki, but Shoka says that she will lose her ability if she leaves the village. So Miaka and the gang venture back to bring Tasuki's coffin to Choukou. Miaka comes down with a high fever on the way, and to make things worse.....they get attacked by zombies!!!!

- Genrou appears and burns the zombies with the tessen. He then reveals to the gang that HE is Tasuki by showing them the character on his arm!!!!!!!!! He says that he couldn't just leave and go against the former leaders wishes....so he had to decieve them, but now they have the 5th seishi!!!!!! Miaka collaspes from her fever and they take her back to Choukou.

- Miaka rests. Shoka tells them that she has Shikkonki and she can't do anything for her unless she dies. Miaka suggests that they find a doctor.

- Tamahome and Yui hear about Miaka getting a deadly disease and are both saddened. But Yui reminds herself that she was betrayed by Miaka and in that case deserves to die.

- The gang vists a doctor, who tells them that their only hope is Myojuan, a doctor that lives in the mountains.

- Miaka sees a fish on the ground and goes for it but at the same time so does an old man. They fight for it and the old man escapes with it....the gang follows him to his house. They peek in and see that he has lots of medicines around and realize that this man is Myojuan! They ask for his help, but Myojuan isn't exactly the friendly type and kicks them out saying that he isn't a doctor anymore.

- Now back at Shoka's house (i think) Miaka's disease worsens and starts experiencing agonizing pain. Shoka says that the pain is worse then death and that they should kill Miaka right now. She will revive her ASAP and Miaka will regain her strength.

- Hotohori volunteers to kill Miaka and tells everyone else to leave. He hold up his sword...........
