Chapter Seven:
Unknown Purpose
Len was obviously irritated at me for inviting Gakupo to come with us on our way to my father's castle. I inwardly beamed. HAHAHAHA! He's falling for me already; I'm a hundred percent sure!
"Len, what's with that face?" I asked him, wanting to annoy him. I wasn't disappointed.
"Ugh…" He groaned and walked faster to the point of almost running. I silently giggled and looked at Gakupo. I caught him staring at Len with such a hostile expression. Frowning, I asked.
"Gakupo?" He looked at me and his expression softened instantly I doubt if that look was really there. I shook my head. It's just my imagination. Gakupo is such a gently guy to have such a hard look on his face.
"Yes Princess?" He replied gently. I heard a snort coming from Len's direction. I smiled at Gakupo sweetly and said.
"Nothing. I just want to thank you for saving me again last night." He smiled back at me and stopped short. Turning me around using his lightest touch, he held up my chin and peered deep in my eyes. I felt my heart race inside my chest. He's going to kiss me! Slowly, his face descended and our lips barely just an inch away. I closed my eyes and waited for it. But then, Len loudly cleared his throat.
"We're almost there." He said flatly. Hearing Gakupo sigh, I shot him a really poisonous look but he just shrugged and continued his way. Gakupo pushed me gently and resumed his walk. I followed him. Damn Len! That was my very first kiss and Len halted it on purpose! Crap!
After a few minute of walking in silence, at last, an elegant castle stood before us. It was artistically made, and obviously lovingly built. Anger forgotten for a while, I walked faster past Len and stared at the carvings in the wooden door. There was an angel, with a cherubic face and big wings and there's also a devil, a HOT one, long-haired, deep-set eyes, with perfectly shaped features. Touching them with my finger, I admired the fineness of the art. This is almost out of this world! Well, this IS out the world so maybe it's to be expected. I took a deep breath and tried to knock but Len held my wrist as I was about to raise it up.
Anger going back to my system, I hissed at him.
"What are you doing? I have every right to knock, don't I?" Eyes a burning blaze, I pulled my hand back and raised it up again.
Knock.
Knock.
Knock.
The deep sound of knocking was almost as elegant as the castle itself. Just then, I heard a deep rumbling sound and stepped back when the door began to open. A handsome, HOT man maybe in his late twenties stepped out and welcomed us. I stood there star struck. He's so.. so.. GORGEOUS!
"Hello visitors. Hello my daughter." He turned to me and hugged me tight. I hugged back and felt hot tears tracing my cheeks.
"Father." I mumbled and hugged him tighter. He laughed, a wonderful flowing sound, and released me.
"Come, come. Please feel at home." He gestured towards the two men standing behind me. I looked at them and smiled. Following my father inside, I gasped at the size of the castle. Kaito, my father, turned to me and smiled.
"This is going to be your home right now so please feel comfortable."
I stared at him. Men, he really was gorgeous. With a head of blue silky hair and shining deep blue eyes, he's a bomb!
"Father, where did I get the color of my hair? And my eyes?" I asked, barely containing my curiosity about our resemblance. Resemblance? There hardly was.
"Well, I really don't know. But then, here in Hell, hair color nor eye color does not depend on the father or mother's, but it depends on the character of a certain person. Your hair, a yellow shade," He approached me and touched me hair, "means wisdom and joy. While you're eyes, a golden shade of brown, symbolizes a mixture of optimism and a down-to-earth attitude." He explained. I beamed at him.
"Then you sure are born royal, Father! With a blue hair, it symbolizes peace and calm and your blue eyes represent sincerity and strength and steadfastness."
He laughed again. "Why my daughter! You got some intelligence there!"
I smiled at him. And then my thoughts focused on the two guys standing near the doorway. So, if that was correct then Len's attitude would have been the same like mine. Gakupo's hair, a purple, symbolizes something too. And I really don't know that.
Len's hold of the rails tightened as he watched Gakupo and Rin play lovey-dovey in the garden.
"Darn! Why him?" He whispered silently. Just then, a voice spoke behind me.
"Why don't you get her Len? You're better off than that man." Turning around, Len saw Kaito leaning on the doorway. He grunted.
"As if I could change her mind." Returning his gaze towards the two who seem to really enjoy each other, he felt anger burn inside him. Damn right! He was better than him! But then…. Rin seems to really like the guy. What could he do?"
"Well, don't give up yet son. Remember you're a devil and as what they say, devils always get their way." He said and then returned inside. Len was left here, pondering on his words.
Yes! That's what I will do! He grinned and followed the Regis inside.
"What's the meaning of the color purple?" I asked Gakupo while we were sitting on an open gazebo. He looked up, eyes slightly alarmed but then softened immediately.
"It means purpose." He replied shortly.
"Purpose? What's your purpose then?" I asked. He hesitated at first and then approached me. Hugging me tight, he answered.
"To make you fall for me." He said, a wicked grin splashing across his face. "Yes.. Make you fall for me…"
