Hello again! Happy new year! I already said that? I don't remember. Well, this fanfiction was selected for a Fandom Fanfiction contest. Maybe I'll participate, I don't know. More important, here's the new chapter!
I'm better with english, but still.. I suck more than before. Sorry for the readers, I'm going to fix it, I promised.
Enjoy it, still!
I didn't own Shakugan no Shana and its characters, if I did, maybe Yuuji will be still with his family.
On a cloudy Saturday, and had accomplish a week after Khamsin Nbh'w's return.
The wind was blowing gently in the yard of the Yoshida's residence, who were present the same Khamsin and the girl, Kazumi. She stood in front of the Flame Haze in the center of the yard, blindfolded. "Ah, you should avoid the movements you feel coming to you. If you feel all movementes, better for you." THe Flame Haze says."Are you ready?"
The girl shakes her legs with her hands trying to review what she should do."Um, maybe it's a little extreme idea." Kazumi says still blindfolded.
"Hmph, you agreed this." mentions the boy's contractor, Behemoth.
"Ah, but don't worry ... " Start saying the hooded boy. "I wouldn't be able to hurt you seriously." says without looking at the girl blushed.
The girl ignored her discomfort and try to stand firm. "I'm ready." She advice.
Khamsin begins to slowly approach the girl, she just walks back slightly. She felt it. The boy moves faster, Kazumi jumps to the left as he moves to the right. It could see how the anxiety took her body, her thin legs trembled not taking a good position for what she should do.
Khamsin slowly walks up behind her, staying there, slowly approaches his hand to her back as if going to push her. It may feel how the girl detects something and immediately checked when she turns around. Walking back, still trembling, causing her to fall to the ground. "Ah, you have no reason to tremble. You've done quite fine." the Flame Haze says, extending his hand to the girl blindfolded, sitting on the floor. She takes his hand, the boy had found what he wanted."But you must be more sure of yourself and manage the situation." The girl gets up. He stares at him for a few seconds, and approach his hands to the blindfold still covering Kazumi's eyes.
When he tries to remove the blindfold, the hand of the girl stops him."Let it, I want to continue." She said with no tremors. Khamsin smiles, but the girl can not see him.
The woman in blue suit, Margery Daw, sat at the bar, stirring her glass with whiskey. She had a melancholy look that later became some determination.
Recently, before Khamsin started to train Kazumi, he had passed by through Satou's residence, and have deduced the plan of those two Flame Haze. "A Secret weapon, huh?." Margery repeated Khamsin's deduction."I hope it is a mistake, because otherwise we would be in big problems." concerned says.
"It can't be that someone like Forger of Crystals remains a 'secret weapon' ." mentions Marcosius."He always handled by his own."
"For real? As far as I know, he doesn't lead the Storms of Blanket for nothing." Answer his contractor. Sighs as she takes a drink."Although the geezer didn't reveal too much information, he seems too concerned. Train the girl? Where did that came from?."
"Things may change or extend a little more. No longer walk on his own." answers the book Margery has like contractor."Do you read Keisaku's report?." Satou had sent a report about the investigation last week.
Again Margery's eyes become melancholic, but not enough to be showed."Seems that Storms of Blanket and Forger of Crystals visited Sweden before coming to Misaki City." Margery mentioned, citing what she read in Satou's report."But, why?." Asked worriedly.
"Those two are filled with surprises." murmurs Marcosius.
"Not to mention their contractors. The master minds." Margery says.
"The Varnished Chalice of Vows, Odon and Rifts of Blizzards, Asmika." Marcosius says the names of their contractors whom didn't say a word during the presence of these Flame Haze.
"Hmph, has done a good work." says Behemoth. Khamsin was sitting on a bench, waiting for the girl went to take a shower after training.
"Ah, true." Says showing pride.
A sharp bark is heard near him. A small fur brown dog with bulging black eyes. A Shiba Inu it is . He seemed to have some disagreement with the presence of Khamsin. He just tried to ignore the dog, but the dog is getting closer, until at one point stopped barking and started to sniff.
Khamsin, as the animal watched with curiosity, he looked at him with a similar curiosity. The dog goes to the bench and rests his head on the Boy's lap. "Hmph, it looks like you're accesible." Behemoth laughs a little. Khamsin is shocked, he never had such a situation with an animal. Only limited to watch him."It could be Missy's pet?." Kazumi is known to have a dog named Ekaterina.. Clearly was her pet.
"Ah, that would explain the coincidence that I feel on him." Khamsin responds.
"Ekaterina!" Cry is heard by the girl, actually the owner of that dog named Ekaterina. Kazumi takes Ekaterina and holds in her arms. "I'm sorry, Khamsin-san. The good news is that she likes you." Says Kazumi with a smile.
"Ah, I wanted to say something about the training." starts Khamsin saying.
"Yeah, about that ... " The girl interrupts."I can't continue the training today. I ... Have something to do." says showing some embarrassment.
"Ah, it's okay." carefree boy says. She sighs of relief, but the relief was short-lived when it receives a call from her best friend and classmate, Yukari Hirai.
"I-I have to respond. Sorry." Kazumi says nervously, and goes to the dining room to answer the call."Hello?" answers the call timidly.
"Hello, Kazumi! Answer with a little more sureness please." says Hirai.
"I'm sorry." Kazumi responds without removing the timidity of her voice.
"Don't apologize, I'm the one who should do ... " Hirai starts saying."You are alone with this, I can't go."
Kazumi alters."W-Why? Do I have to do it alone? " The desperation of the girl is heard in the yard, where Khamsin is. Listening, but decides not to meddle.
"S-Sorry, Kazumi. It is my mother who wants me to do something for her." Hirai answered with regret."But you could ask Khamsin-san to help you." offers with a laugh.
Kazumi slowly turns to look at him, who looks back with some indifference, the girl quickly turn away so not to show her blush."N-No can do. It's not ... " Kazumi is interrupted by herself.
"Find Someone to help you, if you don't want to do it alone." Hirai finished speaking and before Kazumi can say anything, cut the call.
Khamsin approaches to the girl who felt alter."Ah I'll go to meet the Chanter of Elegies, since you seem to have a problem to solve, you can't go with me." Khamsin says. Yoshida nods repeatedly. "Then, see you in the night." Khamsin takes leave, leaving Kazumi alone in her residence.
Stays alone, thinking ... "Should I take care by myself?"
"Thank you, Kazumi-chan. Indeed, it is unfortunate that your friend was unable to compromise with this." kindly says the mother of the Mystes of Reiji Maigo, who is now forgotten in Misaki City due to his departure for Xanadu.
"Y-yes, no problem, enjoy your date." Kazumi answered nervously.
"Sure, I will not leave Kantarou-san alone. Remember the instructions I gave you and everything will be fine, maybe one day this could be useful when you construct a Family." That comment that Chigusa, the mother of the Mystes said, put to shame the young Kazumi Yoshida.
She is rubbing her flushed cheeks as she say goodbye to Chigusa. It turns out that, work so complicated for the schoolgirl, was caring a baby, caring the younger sister of the Mystes, Miyu, who was barely a year.
Chigusa welcomes Kantarou-Mystes's father-who was returning from his many trips abroad, then pick him up at the airport, they would go to dinner. The baby could not stay home alone, so she had the support of those young, Kazumi and Hirai, but Hirai was not available for work and Kazumi now is alone.- No.- She is not alone, she is accompanied by her inexperience.
She enter the house, sighed, walked over to where the Myste's room would be, whom no longer exists, not in this world. That room is now occupied by Miyu, the little sister. Who slept on her crib. "What a relief ..." whispers the girl watching the sleeping baby. Slowly gets out of the room. Return to where would be the dining room, sitting in one of the accompanying table chairs.
Noting the yard, the house felt empty, different ... She imagined, remembered Yuuji Sakai, the boy she liked, it is impossible to believe that no longer resides here, that ... Not exists. For a moment, tears would fall from her eyes, but her thoughts were interrupted when a presence appeared inside the house. "Khamsin-San! What are you doing here?." Kazumi was surprised to see Khamsin entering through the yard door. Being surprised, to her misfortune, quickly she get up from the chair pushing it strongly dropping to the floor, causing a sound that was enough to wake the baby. Starting with ... Crying.
"Ah, is it yours?." Kazumi immediately jumped to blush and laugh like a fool when Khamsin asked.
"O-Of course not ... " Answer awkwardly."Must care the baby." There is a silence between the two -Ignoring the cries of the baby-. Kazumi frowns."You should be with Margery-san?." Asked the girl.
"Ah, sometimes I can lie." Khamsin declares."I didn't know you worked as a babysitter." he says.
Kazumi sighs again."N-No, it's a little favor ... " Answer Kazumi.
"Hmph, the baby keeps crying." Behemoth advice.
Kazumi immediately runs to the room of the baby, approach to the crib and try to calm her with a hiss and asking to be quiet. Obviously with a baby, that wouldn't work. So Khamsin watching the scene, decides to intervene. He approached the baby and gently take, and hold her on his arms, gently placed his hand behind the ear of the baby. Kazumi observes surprised as the baby does calm down, not so much to sleep, but Khamsin had completely allayed her somewhat with the push behind her ear. Still, what most surprised the girl was his tenderness for the baby.
"Hmph, good work." says Behemoth.
"Y-yeah ... " Kazumi get to say, even quite surprised. Khamsin could tell the girl was blushing.
"Ah, usually works with some people, you for example." reveals the Flame Haze. It is true that Khamsin the night that showed more affection when the girl asleep cried, Khamsin had been calm with the push behind her ear, besides having pressed her lips to his. Obviously, Kazumi must not know this.
"M-Me? W-What do you mean?." Without understanding, the girl blushes and presses her lips with her fingers.
"H-Hmph, we should stop interrupting the sleep of the baby." Behemoth change the subject.
"Ah, you are right."
They returned to where they were before the baby cry. An awkward silence followed them now. Each one sitting in a chair, staring at the table.
"That attitude from him ... The tenderness with which he took the baby. Maybe someday ... a family ... Ah! What am I thinking?." Kazumi shakes her head while thinking in such fantasy, squeezing her cheeks flushed to hide her appearance.
"I thought she would know how to calm a baby, after all ... No, that's why she was so altered. She should not engage on issues that she can't handle, such as the training." Khamsin seriously think, almost scolding at her.
Again the baby had woken up with a desire to be fed, so, to the screams and cries of Miyu, Kazumi prepared a bottle with milk. Miyu in her arms, Kazumi trembling, still getting her to drink. But there was a problem and was still complaining that little baby.
Khamsin remained seated in an armchair in the living room, trying to let Kazumi handle alone. Not because he doesn't want to help, leave her alone it is what most help her. Still, kept heared how the baby kept complain.
"Hmph, don't you think we should give her an advice?. " offers Behemoth.
"Ah, I never lead with a baby, I imagine you either. What can we say?" Khamsin answers.
"Hmph, you're right. But we should not leave her alone in this."
"Ah, fine." Khamsin sighs and goes where Kazumi is with the baby
Kazumi was trying to calm her, shaking her gently in her arms. Khamsin watched, trying to think what the baby needs. "Ah, is it the only thing that the baby feeds?." Khamsin asks from the doorway of the room, Kazumi turns altered.
"I think so." answer for a moment."A-Ah, I remember Chigusa-san said she occasionally gave applesauce." clarifies better remembering the words of the babys's mother.
"Ah, then, maybe that calms down the little girl." In saying this, Kazumi immediately placed Miyu on Khamsin's arms to bring the applesauce. The Flame Haze as he waited, watched the baby crying, so small and delicate face filled with tears, as the face of ...
"Here!." Kazumi came with a bowl full of applesauce and a small spoon. With the baby in the arms of Khamsin, Kazumi holds the bowl with her left hand and with her right hand she reached a little applesauce in the small spoon to gave to the baby. Who would gradually calming. Which was not calm at all was Kazumi, the image of feeding the baby that was supported by Khamsin, a pretty familiar image, gave the girl some discomfort.
She stopped for a second to look at Khamsin who stares back. "Ah, what's the trouble?." Khamsin asks.
"N-Nothing." Kazumi immediately stopped looking at him and continued her work, this time with her face completely red.
The baby was in absolute silence, without accepting more food. They both watched with surprise and a little relief. "Ah, looks like it was already enough." Khamsin says taking her to the cradle, but the problem was that every time approached the cradle, she complains.
"Apparently not want to be the." Kazumi says, laughing a little.
"Hmph, it means that we must hold her until it changes her mind." mentions Behemoth.
"Ah, you should hold her." Khamsin offers delivering the baby on Kazumi's arms. Miyu to get into the arms of the girl confined to complain again, Kazumi reacting to this, returns the baby to the boy's arms, she seems calm down.
"She only Trust your arms, Khamsin Nbh'w." Behemoth says laughing at the situation. Which was true, Miyu take affection of the Flame Haze.
They sat in the living room with the baby, even in the arms of Khamsin. Kazumi sitting on the couch, and Khamsin at her side with Miyu. "Did you ever lead with a baby?" Asked the girl trying to break the silence.
"Ah, never." Khamsin answers yet watching Miyu."And this is your first time, right? ."
"Y-yes. I don't think I'm used to this." Kazumi answer ashame.
"Ah, you don't have to worry about it, being only a teenager. When your time comes, you'll know what do." That answer of Khamsin surprised the girl, causing her to blush.
"When my time comes? I can't help thinking about ... " She thinks too uncomfortable. One minute of awkward silence accompany them again. While Kazumi thought what to say, Khamsin watching the baby, and the baby, playing with the pendant of Khamsin, Behemoth.
"Ah, what are you thinking?." Khamsin breaks the new silence. Kazumi squeezes her flushed cheeks and hides her attitude of shame. The boy looks her reaction.
"W-Why do you ask?." she says in a low voice.
"Ah, I also want to know what are you thinking." Khamsin mentions remembering the words of the girl, he spoke of 'Think' to not say 'feel', yet wasn't the time to talk about feelings. Every word Khamsin say the girl blushed more and a lump in her throat formed in there.
"W-Was ... Thinking ... About my future ... " the girl murmurs increasingly bowing her head.
"What do you think about your future?." Khamsin keep asking.
"Th-That's ... What do you think?.? What are your plans?." Kazumi becomes insistent in asking, she turns to look at Khamsin.
"Ah ... The future is something can't plan out. Not under these circumstances. But I know my Objective." Khamsin answer staring back determinedly.
"And that is?." Kazumi begins to grieve at the thought of his response.
"You know it." He answers.
"I don't want to know." The girl answers quickly.
While maintaining their gaze."It's my decision and so you also will determine your Objective." says the Flame Haze.
Kazumi looked away again, "Why? I don't want to know ... I don't want ... I don't wanna be a product of protection for him. It is why he come back? Just to protect me?."
- His destiny was to live life with you -
Kazumi remembered the words of Behemoth when Khamsin returns and his reasons, but ... She wants to hear it from Khamsin, regardless of his heartfelt words.
Khamsin, with one hand holding the baby, with the other hand was holding the hand of Kazumi. She smiled a little, her eyes were filled with tears, but retained, barely noticed. "K-Khamsin-san, listen ... I want you to tell me ..." Kazumi get the attention of the boy and to finally hear his answer.
But this situation is interrupted by the arrival of the mother and father of the baby, Kantarou and Chigusa Sakai. Kazumi left his hand and quickly gets up from the couch to greet with her face still flushed. "W-Welcome home. We have taken good care of their daughter." says the girl with a bit of nerves.
"We have?." Asked Chigusa devoting her gaze to the boy who has Miyu on his arms."I see, thank you." says with a smile.
"It's good to return home with a warm welcome and new guests." Add Kantarou smiling accompanying his wife. Kazumi also smiled but awkwardly, trying to hide her nerves accumulated. Seeing the parents of Mystes that was forgotten.
Khamsin just watched those responsible of the baby he have on his arms.
Kazumi: Why I was like this with Miyu-chan?
CrimsonHearts: Let's say... In the light novel you get so nervous when you have Justus on your arms.
Gyuki: You can imagine Khamsin-ou like a father?
CrimsonHearts: Kyahaa~It would be crazy!
Khamsin: Ah, maybe I just...
CrimsonHearts: I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I don't really know too much about how is Miyu and everything... Because I don't know Japanese! I can't listen to the CD Drama and read the Light novel, But I'm trying to learn.
Pm me, review, say something, I don't know. I just hope you enjoy it!
