Chapter 7: Unwanted Discovery


Hao's pOv

I seriously don't find any crime that involves ramen. Her mom, whom I found out that her name, is Emiko, suddenly burst out her anger about me not being able to ramen before.

"THIS IS TOTALLY UNFORGIVABLE!" She continued lecturing about ramen which we obviously ignored.

"Well, everybody always gotta get their first time somehow." She smiled at her mom who seems to get an idea.

"If he doesn't finished his ramen completely, no lavender ice cream for you." She stated.

"HAO! EMPTY THE FREAKING BOWL OR I'LL STOP TALKING TO YOU!" She immediately ordered, totally freaking out.

"Could it be that you like lavender ice cream?" I asked as I start eating my ramen.

"Yes, now please finish it up, okay?" She gave me a sparkle effect and I looked away still eating my ramen. "I take that as a yes."

Why did I become weak on that?

"Just what mess did I get myself into?" I mumble under my breath and sighed.

Anyways, after the ramen dilemma, Fumiko's attempt to make me finish eating so she can have her ice cream is kinda getting boring so I decided to play around.

"And what will I get for finishing my meal that I don't even ask for?" I asked with my seductive smile and tilted my head to her direction.

She blushed again and looked away pouting. "Hey, at least you got to eat!"

"Maybe I should just leave this here unfinished –" I faked setting it aside with a smirk.

"No! No! I'll whatever you want just finished your ramen!" she begged almost about to cry. "I haven't eaten ice cream for months, please!"

"I'll get goodnight kisses from now on." I said and added. "On the lips."

She faltered for a moment then stared at her mom. She was about to sob and I sighed. I guess I went a little too far in this one. I continued eating the ramen – which is I have to admit actually tastes good – and keep my eye on her as she thinks about my deal.

"You'll empty every meal and I'll give you morning, afternoon and good night kisses." She looked down and she was obviously red.

My eyes widened for a moment before my signature seductive smirk appeared in my face. I emptied the bowl and her mom brought out the tub of lavender ice cream. Fumiko's eyes lit up in delight as she saw the ice cream in front of her.

"Here, as promised." Her mom stated and winked at me. "Take care of her."

I returned the smile and nodded. "I will, it's a promise."

She left the dining room along with our dishes then went out for her job. Fumiko kept on staring at the ice cream as if facing a gold bar. I placed my hand to my chin and observed her more. An amused smile appeared to my face as she straightened herself up. She faced me showing a delightful smile and hugged me with no hesitations.

"Thank you so much, Hao!" She said happily and pecked my cheek. "Thank you so much."

"No problem. Just don't forget about our deal, understand?" I reminded her, still smirking in her sudden act at me.

Her arms are still around me and she moved to face me. "I know but I'm really happy for the ice cream. Wanna share with me up in the room?"

I nodded and she let go to grabbed two spoons along with the tub of ice cream. I grinned and placed my arms around her waist and pulled her close to my chest. She's still eyeing her ice cream so she doesn't mind whatever I'm doing to her. We entered her room and illuminant stars greeted us. She plopped herself to the bed, opened the ice cream and start digging in. She did paused, however when she noticed I was still at the door.

"What's wrong?" She frowned and halted eating. "Don't tell me you don't like lavender ice cream either?"

"You hugged and kissed me without hesitation." I smirked as I paced towards her and leaned until our noses touched. "That's something new."

She blushed as if she just realized what she just did. She stared at her ice cream and looked at me again. Her eyes are full of confusion I don't need my reishi to figure out that she doesn't understand her actions either. I took a tablespoon of ice cream and let its flavor explode in my mouth. She continued looking at me and I smiled at her. She happily leered, knowing that I liked it. I sit down beside her and start eating the ice cream with her.

"It actually feels nice to have someone to talk to…" She absent mindedly said.

"Don't you got Chantico to talk with you?" I prompted her. "You talk to her all the time, right?"

"I guess so…" She grimaced. "But what I mean is you know… alive."

"Ah, I got Opacho with me so I don't really think like that." I replied and stared at her.

"Lucky you…" She sighed and suddenly asked. "How's 'lil Opacho?"

"Yeah, I almost forgot." I agreed. "I need to tell everyone that I won't be back for a week. I'll be back as soon as I tell them, okay?"

"Okay. I'll wait." She smiled a little and continued eating her ice cream.

I started walking away to the door when I thought I heard her say something. I looked back and she was still eating her ice cream. I know that my reishi doesn't work on her so it's impossible that I heard her thoughts… or does it still work on her? I tried using my reishi but nothing came. Must be because I'm stressing out of all this drama. I made myself burst into flames until I heard it again.

Don't leave me…

I appeared in the camp and everybody gathered. They all greeted me and Opacho immediately hugged me as a welcome. I smiled at her and shook her hair.

"I'll be away for a week." I told everyone who grimaced at the news.

"Why, Hao-sama?" Marion asked.

"I got into a deal with her." I sneered remembering how it started. "If I manage to make her fall for me in a week, she'll marry me and if not – which will not happen – I will have to be enemies with her in the shaman fight."

"Then Opacho can play with Fumiko-tan!" She cheered.

"Yeah, that too." I smiled in her innocence and returned my gaze to everyone. "I have to leave now or I'll lose the deal."

"Is Hao-sama happy with Fumiko?" Marion asked.

I give my carefree smile and nodded. "She makes me happy all the time."

"Then Mari is happy for Hao-sama." She smiled and the rest of the hana-gumi agreed.

"Hao-sama?" Luchist called.

"Yes, Luchist?" I responded.

"Good luck. Love is a very dangerous game, one wrong move and you lose." He lectured.

"You worry too much, Luchist." Brocken commented. "Hao is much older than all of us and has seen the world since the Heian times. He got his own wife and children in both lives why not this time?"

I smiled with my eyes closed as they all regarded at me. I send my orders while I'm gone and Brocken will be in charge. When I'm done, I made myself disappear into flames and returned to Fumiko's room. She already propped herself on the bed but still awake. I sit at the vacant space of the bed and poked her cheek.

"I'm back."

"Wow, you've been out for about an hour and a half." She bluntly said.

"Oh, you're back to normal?" I teased and she just laughed.

"Whatever." She sat up and quickly gave me a kiss on the lips. "Goodnight!"

I grinned as she covered herself with the blanket, obviously embarrassed on what she did. I pulled the covers to show her face and she looked at me nervously and all red.

"Goodnight…" I whispered then peck kissed her lips.

And we that, we drifted to sleep.

Okay, not really. I jerked out of sleep when Fumiko keeps on rolling around the bed. Is she really this restless in her own sleep? I grab a hold on her and realized she was having a nightmare. Her tears are flowing and she's mumbling the same phrase I heard before I left but this time it's complete.

"Don't leave me…" She blubbered in her sleep. "Not again."

I sighed and cradled her like my mom used to do to me. "Shh… it's alright. I'm here beside you. I won't leave you."

"Hao…" She mumbled. "Don't leave me again…"

"W-what?" I asked in surprise as I lay her head back to the pillow.

I don't understand. How could I leave you again if this is the only time we met in this reincarnation of mines?

I know it would sound impossible but I still give it a shot. "What's your name? What era is it? Where do you live?"

"Kimiko… Heian era…" She yawned then her voice changed a little, more like a Patch Tribe tone of voice. "Chiyoko…Patch villa –"

Slumber has taken over her and I slumped back to the floor. It all makes sense now. That's why it seems like I knew her already and why I was so interested in her.

She's the reincarnation of my wife.
