Thank you for the good response. I wasn't expecting it. But thank you anyway. I am very happy you gave a chance for this story. Thank you fro the story alerts and faves as well. Here is the next chapter.
Wakana opened her eyes. She looked around. Why….why could she hear screams? Why were people shouting? Why was her mommy crying holding her? Where was her Papa? It was all too confusing! She started crying as well.
Her mother was shaking and holding her close. She was about to ask what was going on when she heard someone banging on the door of the room she was in with her mother.
Wakana's mother immediately gasped and started running around, pulling Wakana with her. Finally, she found a huge box which only a child could fit into and her mother ushered her(Wakana) into it. Wakana was about to ask what was happening but her mother just planted a hurried soft kiss on her forehead.
"Be a good girl and promise me you won't make any noise, Wakana-chan," she whispered.
The next thing she knew, her mother had closed the steel box which had a small hole in it for breathing and the people who were banging on the door came inside.
Wakana knew something bad was happening. The men were staring at her mother with vehement eyes and the next thing she knew, it happened in a heartbeat, she saw her own mother being stabbed. Her mother staggered and then fell down…..blood was coming out from her body.
Wakana just couldn't believe what was happening. Why? They had just been enjoying their afternoon tea a few minutes back? Why had this happened? Why was Mama not moving? Why? WHY? But she remembered what her mother had said and she made sure not to utter a sound.
"Well, that's the last of them," said a man with a dirty, bloody face.
"Let's get out from this garbage dump," said another, going out.
Wakana stayed in that box for a very long time. She was always afraid that someone would suddenly come and kill her too. She cried herself to sleep, blood in her nightmares.
Wakana's eye shot open and she was panting and her eyes were searching the room in which she was in. Where was this? The last thing she remembered was staying in the box! Had the people kidnapped her? But…but…
She finally remembered. An onii-san had come along…he hadn't killed her. An onii-san with sharp but soft golden eyes...he had allowed her to sleep and cling to his chest. Where was he? He was the only one she trusted at this moment.
Finally, she spotted him a little bit away. He appeared to be sleeping. She tried to move…she could. Apparently, her wounds had been healed by the onii-san. Or so she felt. She approached him slowly. She came close to him. His eyes were closed. Her curiosity got the better of her. This onii-san had lots of hair. He also had a pony tail! She nearly giggled. She thought only girls had pony tails.
His eyes were closed so she couldn't see his eyes. Wakana missed them. They were full of such kindness. She really wanted to see what his hair felt like. Her hand started approaching his hair when his right hand grabbed hers. She flinched.
He slowly opened his eyes and had a funny expression on his face.
Wakana felt so embarrassed. This onii-san had helped her and saved her and she had the nerve to touch his hair? What an idiot she was!
Rihan felt amused. He had been half asleep waiting for the kid to wake up when he thought he would rest a bit. When he felt her waking up. She looked scared at first. He thought he would see what the girl would do. She looked around and she spotted Rihan. She started coming closer to him. He wondered what she was going to do.
"What were you going to do, Wakana-chan?" he asked amused.
"G-Gomen-nasai, Onii-san!" she squeaked. "I-I was a very bad girl! I….I just…I…."
How could she tell him that she wanted to touch his hair? That was too immature!
"I wanted to see if Onii-san was awake!"
"Oi, oi, what's with this 'Onii-san'? That makes me feel old," said Rihan laughing.
"Th-Then, then, what should I call you?" she asked with sincere eyes.
"Let's see," said Rihan pondering over this. "I think Rihan's just fine."
"Rihan…is…is that onii-san's name? Then, I shall call you Rihan-sama!" she declared.
"Now, now, just Rihan is fine-"
"No! You will be called Rihan-sama!" she said looking at him with a sincere but adorable face.
"So cute." thought Rihan, grinning at her.
"Rihan-sama."
"Y-yea?"
"Thank you for taking care of me. I shall leave now," she said, walking out of the room.
E-Eh? What?
Rihan immediately followed her and before she left the room, picked her up with his hands.
"Rihan-sama, what are you doing?" she sqealed, with red cheeks.
Still cute, thought Rihan.
"Where do you think you're going, little lady?" he asked still holding her above him fondly.
"But…but! I cannot trespass in Rihan-sama's house anymore! I…I must leave….even if I have to live on the streets!" she said with earnest eyes.
"You stupid little girl! You think I'd let a little thing like you go out in the street like that? You're going to live here from now on," he said smiling at her.
"Live….here?" she repeated dazed. "Is that…really okay with Rihan-sama?"
"Of course it is! Having such a cute girl like you here would be….ow!" cried Rihan rubbing his head.
"That hurt, Kubinashi!" whined Rihan.
"That's what you get for trying to sweet talk an innocent little girl, Rihan!" said the man called Kubinashi.
"Rihan-sama, who is this onii-san?" asked Wakana.
Kubinashi started and then looked at the chocolate haired demon.
He bent down to her height and smiled at her.
"Hello there. I'm Kubinashi. You can call me Kubinashi too, Wakana-san."
"Kubi…nashi. That's a nice name," she said smiling.
Suddenly Kubinashi felt an icy glare on his back.
He turned around smirking at Rihan.
"Oh? Jealous already Rihan?"
"Sh-Shut up. Of course I'm not jealous. J-Just don't get too close to her. She'll be scared with too many people knowing her. That's all." pouted Rihan annoyed.
Wakana bounded over to Rihan.
"Rihan-sama! I've a made a new friend! Kubinashi!" she grinned.
Rihan smiled at her and so did Kubinashi.
This was the start of Wakana's life in the Nura House.
