Reunion
K.L
Note:
This fanfiction is dedicated to three authors who have inspired me enough to write. It is a tale of romance with a couple that holds very little recognition here on . I hope that this two - possibly three - part instalment may inspire fellow authors to write. Not just for this couple but for all other couples who have a tale waiting to be written. May nothing stop you from writing these and the many other stories that are to come.
Thank you Tenshuki; Ookami Z; and Tie Feiyan
It was quiet. Not a noise, save for the periodic crackling sound which emanated from the small fire. A fresh log was placed upon the smoldering mound – flames licking the surface, dancing about in great mirth. Amber eyes gazed long and hard into the sea of orange and red as if in doing so would bring about all the answers one sought, "Why…" Whispered the voice, "… why…"
A knock at the door startled the hunched figure, drawing amber orbs to leave the flames and fall upon the wooden door. Had it not been for the fourth knock the call surely would have gone unanswered. Arising from the comforts of the leather couch, the figure made its way toward the unwanted attention, cursing and mumbling all the while.
As one hand rested upon the knob, the pale fingers of the other unlocked the bolt, opening the door just a smidgen.
Outside stood two men who upon hearing the door open ever so slightly drew their feet in tight, knees together, backs straightening from their prior slouched position and heads raising high. In unison right arms drew up then bent, administering a military salute to which the onlooker watched with an air of caution.
Silence took refuge for a few moments, ready to settle in if given the chance. A chance however it was not given as the nearest of the two men stepped forward, drawing open a scroll which had been tucked under his left arm.
"Nina Wang?" He inquired, golden orbs rising from the scroll to the figure before him.
Opening the door a crack more, navy locks bound up and down as the woman in question nodded, "Hai."
The soldier's golden eyes returned to the paper before him and as if he were a messenger of the Royal Kingdom of Windbloom itself, he reiterated what lie before him, "It has been requested that you, Nina Wang, come with us."
A dark brow rose, the woman taking a step back, "Oh? And what if I say no?"
"It states here that should you decline, we are to present you with a second letter," It was then that the second male made to move, stepping forth, producing a small envelope to which he offered to the woman. Only when it was safely in her hands did he step back, allowing the other to finish that which he had started, "Should you refuse a second time we have been given the authorization to bring you and any others within the house with us."
The blunette gave herself a moment to gather her thoughts – as well as her temper, "Give me a moment," She muttered, drawing back into the comforts of her home to read the contents of the letter. Not a moment after opening the letter did a soft gasp escape her pale lips, "… Nao-sempai?"
