Kurogane's Point of View
I returned indoors, my hair soaked with the rain. But, I didn't mind it. I had been training, and the mage had interrupted me. He always did when I was trying to focus on something important. And, not to mention, that fake smile of his was really starting to get more annoying. As soon as I had begun to walk towards my room, the princess rushed towards me, much to my surprise. "Kurogane-san, what were you doing out there?" She asked me.
"Nothing, Princess. Just training." I replied, trying not to sound cruel, like I did with everyone else. After my last run in with an angry princess, I decided that it was best to act at least half-way decent, when in conversations with princesses. "Why? Were you worried or something?"
She looked at the ground, blushing slightly. "Yes... I thought you might get a cold or something. I was worried about you..."
I scowled. Why should she worry? I would be fine! There was no way I'd get a cold and, even if I did, I wouldn't let it beat me!!! But, instead of this answer, I said, "Sakura, you don't have to worry about me."
"But, I... I can't help it!" She told me, looking up at me again, with a pleading look in her eyes.
Then, I heard a voice from behind me... Fye... "Now, now... Kuro-myuu, don't hurt Sakura-chan's feelings. That wouldn't be nice!"
"I don't care if it's nice or not! And, stop with the damn nicnames! It's Kurogane!!!" I shouted, angrily. Suddenly, I heard someone running away. Looking down, I discovered where Sakura had been, there was no one. "Damn it!!!" I shouted, shocked by her sudden leaving. "Sakura, I didn't mean it!!!" With that, I ran after her.
I sounded... sincere and, mind you, I didn't know why. All I knew was that I was angry at Fye one second and, when the princess had left, I felt... regretful and angry... But, not at Fye. No, that anger was gone. I was mad... at myself...
