Chapter 7 A Gift befitting a princess
The sun glistened of the tops of the trees in tokyo that morning, with the likes I hive never seen. The birds were chipper and the flowers in bloom. It was truly a beautiful sight to behold. If only my relationship with Grampa were that way. It had been 3 weeks since My grandfather and I had stopped speaking. We barely accnowledged erach other on the regular day. It was alright, because I was keeping busy with work in The feudal era, rebuilding villages and beating demons and such. But It still tore my heart to pieces when ever I thought about the way he had spoken to me.
I pound a nail into a piece of wood as The roof of the hut began to take form. It's splintering temperature was burning my knees. My rolled up hakamas were falling out of place and my hair was falling in my eyes.iu stood up, and with hammer in hand, junped down from then hut. I spotted Kaede and lightly paded up beside her. She looked, tired and worried. She always looked that way, but today it was more severe. I asked her what was wrong.
" Nothing child, ye must not worry about me. " I knew she was lying and looked her in the eyes.
" Tell me…please? " She looked back up at the mounbtain and asked me a question.
" Have ye spoken to Kouga since Ye arrived in the future? " I looked at her, puzzled.
" No. Why?" She looked at me again, her expression very serious.
" He has gone away." She began to walk again. " He left the other morning and Ginta says that he never retuened. He sai dthat he menshioned a gift befitting a princess. Or something like that." I gasped and covered my mputh…It couldn't be…

" Hurry up Kouga! " A young girl was running through the trees at an astonishing pace.Followed by an older boy, with a belt drapped over his shoulder, his Hakamas bashing his legs. He struggled to keep up with thw girl, and met with her infront of a lake.
" You- know-you –could-have-waited…and…" hje looed down at her, she was looking out over the lake, a thoughful look on her face.
" Do you think I'll ever find a amte Kouga? " She asked, as he sat down beside her.
" I could be your mate. You know…" He looked at the ground and she giggled.
" Only if you bring me a gift first. A gift befitting a princess. " He looked confused, but soon smiled.
" How abaout the shikon no tama? " The girl giggled again.
" silly! Grampa still has it! "
" Well when the time comes, I'll battle your Grandfather for the right to kiss you whenever I want! " He was now standing up and waving his fist triumphantly, the girl clenching his clothes tighly, attempting to quiet him down. " I'll take the Shikon no tama and win my love! " He looked down at her and smiled. " But I'll only get it when it's in the most dangerous place…Just to prove I love you. " He knelt down and pulled her onto his knee. " Seiya, I love you. " He reached down into his hakamas and pulled out a flower.Handing it to her.
" I love you to…even if your as smelly as you are at this age, I'll love you then to. I promise. " She began playing with his hair as he lowered his face to hers and their lips met, formong the first union of the two teenagers.
