When love isn't returned
Deftly balancing a stack of clean towels on one hand, Yuya opened the traditional Japanese style door and stepped in. It was her new job as an Inn cleaner. She never really gave up bounty hunting but to help Lady Sakuya and Kyoshiro keep their house she figured it was the best thing to do.
3 years ago on this very day Kyo had disappeared beneath the Mibu castle. He only left a few words for Yuya to live on but many memories of their past together. Kyo wanted Yuya to live a nice loving life and to follow her own dreams and desires, but she found that very hard to do because she loved him so much more than life itself.
Every night since then she has dreamt about his Shin Mibu form and how awful he looked. His face was unrecognizable, his aura had completely changed. But she never gave up hope that he would never return to her, never. She ran across the castle floor to Kyo's side and held on with dear life hoping that he would return. He threw her into an up lifted floor piece almost sending her unconscious. She looked up as his sword came closer to her face. But Kyo who supposedly was supposed to lose all human feelings stopped the blade with his own wrist.
His blood fell upon Yuya's face. It burned her to feel his blood.
With every last piece if strength she had in her body she ran her arms around Kyo's neck and prayed and begged for him to return to himself again.
And he did, just for her. He thanked her for her love and concern and healed her wounded leg. In his eyes was concern and perhaps even love. He wanted to know why she risked everything on him. Yuya told him it was because it was just him.
Yuya shook her head and laid down the towels for the people staying in this room.
Daydreaming was ruining her pay. Everytime she would wonder off in her thoughts she would lose more money or worse her job. Over these years she had been fired 10 times. She couldn't help it, not at all even if she tried to.
Soon as she finished her shift she went and bought 2 jugs of the most expensive sake on the market. It was for Kyo's monument. Today Yuya chose not to go and pray with Sakuya and Kyoshiro. She figured she needed some alone time.
She arrived at the monument underneath a Sakura tree. The tree was in fool bloom this time of year.
Yuya kneeled down and prayed for Kyo's safe return someday. She opened her eyes as she poured the sake out slowly upon the dirt. She usually hated it when Kyo wasted the sake but today she felt he deserved to waste as much as he wanted.
She sat upon the tree and thought about the last words Kyo said to her and she wondered if she should take his offer. She was no longer his slave because he let her go free. It was as if she didn't know how to live on her own anymore. She needed his shoulder to lean on but he wasn't there.
"I am 19 years old, I need to marry." Yuya said to herself as she counted the Sakura blossoms on her lap. Many men in town offered their riches and homes to her if she would marry but each time she would say she is with someone. Someone in her heart, mentally not physically.
Yuya looked up at the sky and watched the birds fly on by.
She stood up after and hour or so and wiped off her kimono. She turned and bowed at Kyo's monument.
"Kyo." Tears rolled down Yuya's cheeks. "I will take you up on your offer."
She turned away and walked upon the dirt road, not taking a second glance.
The Sakura tree soon was surrounded with its blossoms in a whirlwind of colors.
A voice then upon the wind spoke one word.
"Yuya"
