Chapter 1: Turning of Life
Hazel eyes looked at the couple standing before him, sighing deeply as he ran his slender hand through his brown locks. Breathing deeply, he took out a manila folder labeled neatly with printed black letters on the top tab, before he opened the folder and grabbed his approved stamp. Questioning eyes looked up at the married couple, which gave their silent approval in a form of a nod, before he applied the stamp to the white paper inside.
Guilt raced through the male's system when he looked down at what he's done. He knew he didn't have the power to condemn her to the life her parents wanted for her, but he had no choice. It wasn't his decision to make.
He didn't want to deprive her of a normal life, because she deserved a normal life. Her current life was hard enough; she ought to have what teenagers have taken for granted. She should have the taste of freedom, a chance to fall in love, and the ability to choose her own path. But even this she was going to be denied of because of the plans that her parents had for her, the plans that she knew of—her marriage engagement.
Looking up at the couple, his hazel eyes pleaded silently with them. "Please Hanako, don't force her to marry if she doesn't approve or tolerate the man."
The female looked at the person seated in front of her, her hazel eyes narrowing slightly. "It's about family honor Koenma, you knew it's what she had to do."
Once again Koenma sighed, long and deeply, "Please Hanako, just think of something other than family honor. Think about her happiness, she deserves it after all she's been through."
She stood up as her hazel eyes blazing with displeasure as she motioned for her husband to follow behind her. Walking toward the door and opening it, she looked back and sent an array of neat azure hair to sway slightly in disarray. "She's our daughter not yours dear little brother."
With that she huffed out of the room, causing a sigh to risen from her husband and her little brother's mouth. "Don't worry Koenma; I won't let Hanako ruin our daughter's happiness. She just felt, how should I say this, very obliged to follow the arrangements made by my family."
Amethyst eyes looked at the seated godling with sympathy, "Don't worry too much about it Koenma, have your mind set on what you're going to tell those spirit detectives of yours about her sudden absence from their lives, and about how she's not going to be able to see them anymore."
Koenma waved goodbye to his brother-in-law and leaned back on the chair, closing his eyes in deep thought. Another stress-filled sigh escaped from his mouth, "That's just what I'm afraid of doing."
He did what everyone including himself thought was impossible. He fell hopelessly in love with an angelic azure-haired girl. Her mere smile would cause his heartbeat to quicken and send an unknown emotion to course though to the surface.
Her laughter could bring him out of his worst moods; the joy of having her around brought a true smile to his face.
The only problem with his unexpected dilemma was he was betrothed to a girl who he still has not had the chance to meet. His mother reassured him that it would be a wonderful match, but he himself highly doubted that. No match would make a good match unless he was matched to her.
But that was virtually impossible. After all when he told everyone about his engagement she just simply disappeared.
She turned; her eyes began to brim with tears as she made her way away from them, away from him. The news affected her more than she thought it did. Thinking that her feeling for him was blind infatuation, but instead it turned out to be more, much more. When he spoke those words she almost fell to her knees and cried.
Her pace slowed down when her vision began to blur. She forced back a sob as she began to come to a complete and total stop. Her knees gave out and she fell down on the concrete floor. Long strands of azure blew in the wind as she stared out in the distance, the sound around her started to fade. All she heard was him; all she heard was that he has a fiancé, a betrothed since birth.
All she knew was the slim chance she had with him before was now reduced to naught. The irony of it all was she came here today to say goodbye to them all, came to tell them exactly what he told them. She placed her life on hold for too long already; if she didn't go back to her regular life, to her own world, her clan would be so disappointed.
She had a life outside of the spirit detectives, and outside of Spirit world. She had her own life, and she had to face the facts; if she didn't do what was expected of her it would be a disappointment for her whole family. The business and home that had been in her family for decades wouldn't have a successor.
She had to say goodbye to this life, the life of Spirit world and the spirit detectives and return to the normal life that she seldom lived. Live the life of a regular high school student, and of an heiress to one of the leading and most successful businesses in Japan.
She had to go back to her life as Kazuwaki Botan.
