Chapter 3: Surprises
"Judar! You slimy rotten no good son of a bi-!" I was cut off by Judar's lips crashing to my own. I was glad that Koumei had left a while back, this was embarrassing. "I missed you too, Shi-Shi." He says while smirking, I turn around and cross my arms, I hear him move and feel the chill of his aura. His arms encircled my waist,"You have no reason to turn away, turn back towards me." He whispers seductively into my ear, his warm breath sliding down my neck. "J-Judar... That time was over long ago." I state with a shiver. He smirks on my neck,"We both miss that relationship, you can't deny it." He says, arms glissading to my hips. "E-enough. I am a mother to my child and the future queen to this empire. I will not tolerate this erroneous behavior." I snarl slipping from his arms and out the door.
When I escape, Hakuryuu embraces me, "Again?" He questions, I nod and hug him back. He grabs my hand and pulls me off towards the library, the only place I knew in this castle. When we arrived, I pulled out some of Hakuryuu and my own favorite books, I open one and we begin to talk about certain points. Hakuryuu looks at his watch as we speak about our favorite parts of history,"Sorry Asashin... I have a meeting to go to. Bye!" He says gathering his papers, I wave as he leaves.
I peek out the window to see that dark was arriving. 'I still have some time.' Rings through my mind. I start studying and solving the secrets to a relic that was created nearly eight thousand years ago, 7,982 to be precise. I look at the clock and see that it is past midnight, I feel a presence leaning over me. I turn to see Kouen following my notes, he smiles at me. "That's amazing. I've never seen somebody do this much work in such short time. You deserve some rest." He says with an admirational tone, he sweeps me up bridal style and begins walking. "K-Kouen... Why are you carrying me?" I questioned, red dusting the entirety of my cheeks. My eyes start getting heavy at his warmth, he lays me down on my bed and nearly fall asleep, but I hear Kouen voice quietly whispering. "I wish you were happy, the truth is sad for you. Sleep well, and don't dream of several years ago..." He kisses my forehead and I drift to sleep thinking of his words.
