Kaze no Stigma
I don't own Kaze no Stigma
Here's Chapter 7.
The Great Danger is Near
At the restaurant in the hot spring…
"Ayano! Over here" shouted Yukari while waving her hand.
Ayano went towards Yukari and Nanase with one eyebrow raise up. "Hello!" said Ayano then smirked.
"Uh-oh! Here it comes!" whispered Yukari to Nanase. And both of them sweat drooped and closed their eyes waiting to be scold. But they felt arms wrapped around them. When they open their eyes, Ayano is hugging them.
"Thanks guys! You really are my best friends! I love you guys!" said Ayano while she still hugging Yukari and Nanase.
"Um…welcome…but…we…couldn't…breathe. Need…air…" said Nanase.
"Oh! Sorry! Hehehe" said Ayano then break the hug and Ayano sits
"I understand…but aren't you going to scream at us or something?" asked Yukari with confused look.
"Well…you see…I said a certain words to Kazuma and I wanted to talk to him about it but I didn't have time since Kazuhiko asked me out but you guys gave it to me. So…thank you! And I just want to know what's my real feeling for him and vice versa. I'm still not sure about his feelings for me because of his past. I'm just scared that…that someday he might left me." said Ayano while looking down and not facing Yukari and Nanase.
Yukari and Nanase looked at each other then looked at Ayano.
"Ayano, Kazuma loves you. We both can see it. The way he looked at you is different from the way he looked at others. Yours is…'special'. It's called 'love'. We never saw Kazuma cries or just his tears dropped from his eyes because he always plays it cool and he never let anyone see his soft side. But to you…he didn't mind if you saw him crying or even he lost his coolness because he is not afraid to show his emotions and feelings to you. He is not afraid to show you the real Kazuma. That's how much he loves you. You have to trust him." said Nanase and Yukari agreed.
Then Ayano remember something…
*Flashback:*
1st Flashback: From chapter 2- Lies
Kazuma and Ayano went to the forest.
"Is this where the enemies are hiding?" Ayano asked with nervous.
"No." Kazuma replied.
"What? Then why are we here? We have to defeat those monsters as soon as possible or people might be in danger. Don't fool around Kazuma!" Ayano shouted.
"Calm down, princess. We really don't have a mission. I made all this up. With the help of your father and Ren." Kazuma said.
"What? I cannot believe this! My father and Ren lied to me. Gggrrrr!" Ayano shouted and her face turns red because of anger.
"We need to talk, Ayano." Kazuma said.
Ayano turned back to Kazuma and said, "There's no more to talk about."
Kazuma grabs Ayano's hand and pulls her to his chest and embraces her.
"Ayano. I love you." Kazuma whispered to Ayano.
Ayano's tears dropped and whispered, "I'm sorry. I don't."
Kazuma just embraces her tighter and he cried without a single sound.
2nd Flashback: From chapter 5: Failed plan for Love
After long minutes of fighting they are finished and kill all the monsters. Ayano turned to look at Kazuma.
"What are you thinking? Why Kazuma?" asked Ayano
"I…I just…I just want you Ayano. When I saw you and Kazuhiko I'm really mad especially when he kissed you on the cheek. I hate when you are with him. I love you Ayano." replied Kazuma.
"I" whispered Ayano while looking down and not facing Kazuma and then she continued and said "I HATE YOU!" And her tears dropped and turned then run away.
At the Kannagi's…
Ayano run to her room. She lay down on her bed while crying and said, "Why did…why did I say that to him? I didn't mean to. I'm just…I'm just mad at him because of what he did but I don't hate him. He did that just to get my attention?"
At the forest…
Kazuma just standing and froze from his spot. He looked down and his tears are kept falling. He just cried without any sound.
3rd Flashback: From chapter 6- Tears of Happiness and Love (the most recent)
Ayano stood up from the bed as she face Kazuma and said, "I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry about what happen during our last mission. I didn't…I didn't mean to say 'those' to you. I'm just mad at what you did. I'm really sorry, Kazuma. I don't…I don't hate you. I hope you under…" but she was cut off.
Kazuma hugged her tight before she even finishes her sentence. Her eyes widened but then she slowly hugged him and buried her face against his chest and closed her eyes. A tear dropped and touched her cheek and wet Kazuma's shirt a bit.
"Thank you." whispered Kazuma to her ear while his eyes are closed and a tear dropped and touched his cheek and fell on the floor. Then he smiled.
* End of Flashback *
Ayano looked at them and smiled softly and said, "I guess…you guys are right. I need to follow my heart and I need to trust him. Thank you so much! You guys are the best!"
"Of course we are!" Yukari and Nanase said in union. And the three of them just laughed like there's no tomorrow.
Out of nowhere…
" Things are working according to plan. We just need to get that fire princess. She is our key to kill Kazuma. But sad to say…both of them are gonna die. Prepare everything and yourself! Our plan will soon be fulfill!" said a yellow haired guy.
"Yes, Master." replied a brown haired girl and the yellow haired guy laughed evilly.
Back to the restaurant…
"Wow! These foods are delicious! I'm full now!" said Yukari.
"But we still have desserts." said Nanase.
"But…I'm so full. Aren't you?" asked Yukari.
"Yeah…but we already ordered desserts. Look at Ayano, it looks like she's still hungry. Make her as your…um…role model in eating…for now. Hehehe!" said Nanase. And Yukari and Nanase looked at Ayano.
"What?" said Ayano with a hint of confusion.
"Where did you put all those food?" asked Nanase.
"Hmp! Just eat you guys and don't tease me. Oh my! Desserts are here! Yippy" said Ayano. She almost jumps due to happiness.
"We know! But I think Yukari can't eat anymore and I'm almost full…" said Nanase.
"Here are your order ladies. Enjoy!" said the waitress and smiled at them. Then she leaves the three for them to enjoy their desserts.
"Well…more for me!" said Ayano happily.
"Ayano, where is Kazuma by the way?" asked Yukari.
"Um…he found out that you guys planned it and that there's no real mission, so, he left. He said he still have a mission to complete…a REAL one!" replied Ayano.
"Oh! Hehehe! We're sorry!" said Yukari and Nanase second the motion.
"Don't say sorry to me." simply said Ayano because she is busy eating desserts. And then they continued eating.
A guy with a black hat (the cool one) that seated the other table (behind Ayano but not facing them.) just smirked to the whole conversation of the three ladies (Ayano, Yukari, and Nanase) and then he continued his eating.
