Test of love
CHAPTER TWO
Akira managed to come back to her senses "I will just go out and answer the phone" Akira said excusing herself
Somehow Takumi noticed Akira's uneasiness; Takumi stopped her before going out, holding her arm. Akira was forced to turn around. "Who's that" Takumi startled
There was a pause, Akira stared at her phone that is crazily ringing. Akira looked at Takumi's eyes with reassuring smile "Don't worry about me it's just an old friend, go to and entertain them" Akira said lying
"She's lying again" Takumi muttered under his breath
When Akira left the atmosphere becomes tensed, no one spoke even Yukariko's child stopped crying. "So it's too early for happily ever after huh" Nao bluntly said
Tate went closer to Takumi's ears "I feel the same way too" Tate whispered making sure Mai will not hear. "Not to mention hime girls" Kazuya said in matter of fact tone. Tate nodded "Yes, yes their unpredictable sometimes they're so insensitive sometimes they're so sensitive"
Takumi gulped upon seeing Mai and Akane's eyes glow in red. "Kazuya what did you just say?" Akane stressed. "Did you just say…" Kazuya and Tate tried so hard to explain to Akane and Mai but the answer they got is "hmmp"
Everybody laughed at their foolishness except Takumi whose mind is wondering still thinking of someone.
"So it's too early for happily ever after huh" Nao slyly said. Takumi looked at response "You can never know what that ninja girl (Akira) is thinking if you don't ask her we can never know but if you don't make you're move sooner she may be taken away by someone or perhaps change heart"
Nao's words hit Takumi "Thank you! Sister Nao, I owe you big time" Takumi gladly said as he dashed outside. Nao smiled at the innocent boy "I never knew that you're good at giving advice" Natsuki said unintentionally expressing her voice aloud
Nao smiled at Natsuki's compliment "That is nothing I am just spicing up my entertainment" Nao retorted. Nao looked at Shizuru whose holding Natsuki's waist but Natsuki seemed not to mind "Well, do you want my advice too? Go find a room" Nao said.
Natsuki's eyes widen "What are you saying I'm taking back what I said earlier!" Natsuki shouted. Nao stand up waving goodbye without even looking "Anytime" Nao stated as she went out leaving Natsuki blushing.
Akira hurriedly went out of the room avoiding Takumi and he's question 'Sorry I have no choice' She stopped for a while hesitating to walk further. But Takumi's image flashed to her mind that convinced her to walk further
She looked around 'My family is as dark as this forest' Akira looked to the dark sky 'and my love for Takumi is as wide as the sky'
Akira felt Serio's presence beside her. Serio is Okuzaki's family butler his pale complexion gave people impression to think that he is a vampire and he has a long black hair which is keep tied.
"Ojou-sama" Serio started. "You father wants to see you" Akira bit her lower lip "When?" Serio hesitated to speak upon seeing Akira's strange act 'is it because of the boy' Serio asked himself.
"Now" Serio stated. "No" Akira said flatly. Serio was shock of Akira said ever since she have been an obedient child always following her father's orders even though sometimes it may go overboard.
"Your father wants to see you now he ordered me to bring you home even if I will have to force you" Serio noted looking at Akira's eyes. But Akira's eyes are unreadable.
When Takumi dashed he looked left and right 'Where could she be?' Takumi wandered
He was alarmed when he heard Akira's voice "Let me go!" he heard Akira shouted.
Akira can't hurt Serio so she's just running away when Serio pinned her to the tree she just can't do anything
He dashed and follow the voice 'Akira's voice is coming from the forest' He's eyes widen, his fist clenched. When he saw a man pinning Akira to the tree and Akira struggle all her might "You're coming with me!" the man shouted. "NO" Akira retorted. Then it hit him Takumi remembered Nao's advice
"You can never know what that ninja girl (Akira) is thinking if you don't ask her we can never know but if you don't make you're move sooner she may be taken away by someone or perhaps change heart"
"AKIRA" Takumi shouted. Akira and Serio were alarmed by Takumi's angry shout. "Takumi don't come any closer!" Akira warned. But Takumi can't hear anything from this moment he was so angry. 'How dare he touch Akira!'
"Is he the one" Serio asked. Akira didn't response but she continue to warn Takumi "Takumi, Run!" In Serio's mind Takumi was an obstacle in Okuzaki clan so he decided to finish him off.
Serio hit Akira's vital forcing her to paralyze but she's still unconscious. When Serio tried stab Takumi, Takumi held Serio's hand. The next thing Akira knew was Serio's arm is burning. There was a bright light and alas Akira just witnessed Serio's pitiful pleas.
Akira bit her lips till it bleeds so she managed to get control "Takumi stop it" Akira shouted crying. Akira doesn't want Serio to die. When he heard Akira's voice he comes back to his consciousness.
In a second Takumi lost consciousness luckily Akira managed to hold him before he hits the ground. The flames on Serio's arm disappeared but the injury is unbearable.
"Serio, I will let you off the hook for trying to hurt Takumi. Go to the hospital that's an order" Akira sternly said holding Takumi tight.
Serio forced himself to stand despite of the 3rd degree burn on his shoulder and bowed his head before he vanished.
Akira held Takumi tight "Just what's happening, what you just did Takumi" Akira blurted out. Suddenly she heard the others rushing to the scene
"Akira what happened" Mai said. Akira was speechless, suddenly all went black.
When Akira wake from her deep slumber she found herself in her bed and her small wounds on her wrists are gently bandaged.
When she looked outside she saw Mai and Mikoto sleeping soundly in the sofa cuddling. Tate sleeping on the floor snoring.
She peeked through the curtains then she decided to come closer, God only knows how terrified and scared she was when she thought that Serio would kill Takumi. She doesn't want to lose him again but what terrified her the most is to see Takumi's cold eyes nearly burning Serio alive.
Akira held Takumi's hand. "You know what I really love you so much that I don't know what can I do for you" Akira faintly said almost a whisper. Takumi's eyes suddenly opened Akira was shock. "Akira are you alright?" he asked in concern. Akira nodded like a kid.
"What happened the last thing I remember is I was so angry because someone is taking you away" Takumi unintentionally voiced out his thought
Akira paused for a while not knowing what to answer. So she decided to lie "Uhm I beat the crap out of him. I will not let anyone hurt you" Akira weakly said. "Sorry that I wake you up, go rest already" Akira said standing up. Takumi pulled Akira, Akira fell at the top of Takumi "Don't go" Takumi blurted strongly holding Akira's wrists causing her to be hurt "Ouch" Akira said as her face frowned because of the pain.
Takumi noticed the bandages on Akira's wrists "Sorry, I didn't mean" Akira was cut by Akira "No it's alright" Akira get off Takumi instead she lie beside him which made Akira blush.
"Akira, promise me something" Takumi seriously said holding Akira face. "Never ever leave my side no matter what I can't live without you" Takumi blurted out.
There are tears attempting to fall down to her face "I will never leave you" Akira said. They smiled at each other. "I love you" Takumi said Akira blushed. Takumi laughed because of their goofiness.
When Akira caught Takumi was no longer paying attention to her. Akira kissed him, and Takumi responded and deepened the kiss which made Akira breathless.
When they broke the kiss Takumi hugged Akira tightly making sure she won't go anywhere without waking him up Akira did the same.
*Morning*
When Mai woke up she found Mikoto by her side hugging her tightly and of course Tate who's sleeping soundly on his sleeping bag.
She gently took Mikoto's hands from her waist but Mikoto woke up "Mai where are you going" Mikoto asked. "I will just go and check on Takumi and Akira" Mai said looking at Tate who's waking up.
Akira felt the sun rays on her eyes then she stared at Takumi's face that so close to hers memories suddenly strike her. Takumi looks like he's not going to wake up soon so she decided to plant a kiss on his lips.
When she kissed Takumi she was shock because she felt Takumi's hand on the back of her head forcing her to stay or rather kiss him longer. It's not long when Akira managed to escape
Takumi smirked "Why don't you kiss me while I'm awake?" Takumi innocently said. In response Akira kissed Takumi and Takumi responded their kiss is slow but deep. Takumi hugged Akira and he laying on the top of Akira still not breaking the kiss
Little did they know Mai, Mikoto and Tate are watching Tate felt like he was watching live porn, Mai was shock seeing Takumi and Akira so intimate and Mikoto who's innocently watching.
Upon realizing their so called kiss more like a make out is getting longer she faked cough.
Takumi and Akira was alarmed Takumi quickly got off Akira while Akira quickly fixed herself they blushed so hard.
"Looks like their awake if we didn't stop them I may be an auntie already" Mai said
"I'm sorry master, I failed to take ojou-sama home" Serio said bowing to a man who is calmly sipping his tea.
The man is Okuzaki Azuma he is Akira's father the head of Okuzaki clan. Long time ago it is said that Okuzaki clan is connected to the hime's long time ago.
"State you're reasons" the man stressed
"Ojou-sama refused so; I don't have any other choice but to force her" Serio was cut by Azuma
"She refused even though it is my order?" Azuma shouted
Serio stopped talking, Azuma can't believe that Akira refused it is the first time she refused. Azuma held his right temple, he motioned Serio to continue.
"When we're fighting I pinned her down and ready to attack her vitals so that she can lose consciousness and take her but a boy just around Ojou-sama age interfered
Serio paused for a while he don't know why he's nervous but he can't deny that he's scared to Takumi.
"It appears that the boy is Ojou-sama's boyfriend and the reason why she refusing you're order"
"Ah that is Tokiha Takumi, Akira's most important person" a boy with a white hair noted.
Azuma and Serio was shock because of his sudden appearance they bowed in front of him "Welcome back Lord Nagi" the two stated.
Nagi rolled his eyes and slyly smiled don't bother me just continue you're story
"So I decided to finish the boy but when I was about to attack Takumi I saw a golden light he touched my arm. The next thing I knew is my arm is burning" Serio briefly explained.
"So that explains you're injury?" Azuma said. Serio nodded
Nagi's expression change it become serious and I may say scary. "Golden light you say" Nagi said. Serio nodded not looking at him. Nagi hoarsely laughed "The Obsidian lord is back" Nagi shouted.
Azuma looked at Serio a little confuse 'Akira's boyfriend is the Obsidian lord? Which means Akira will be the one to bear the most powerful monster'
Azuma evilly smiled. "Ne, Azuma" Nagi started "we already found the Obsidian lord all we have to do is"
