OMFG, I ACTUALLY UPDATED! I know its been like...six months since I've updated last, but since school started and stuff, LOTS of drama, so less time to write DX Well, with Hurricane Gustav on teh way, I might not be able to write for another while, but I just want to say, THANK YOU ALL FOR READING MY FANFIC! Thank you all! If it weren't for all your support (and harrassment from my sister) I might've just stopped writing. I'll try to keep updating... In the mean time, please enjoy!
"...I'm sorry for intruding..." Tomoyo murmured quietly, as she turned from her aghast ninja.
"Tomoyo, wait!!" Kurogane shouted after her as she ran off into the inner reaches of the Shirasaki grounds. "Damn... God dammit!!"
"Kurogane, I'm sorry..." Souma tried, as she touched his shoulder, as he immediately shrugged her hand off. "Look ...you should go after her."
"Huh?" He frowned at her, finally tearing his eyes away from where Tomoyo had been.
"Idiot. Its obvious she likes you. And I could never compare to the feelings you have for her. So... go." The kunoichi smiled sadly, as he nodded, running off in the direction the princess had taken off too. "Good luck... Kurogane..."
"Hey, Souma!" He shouted as he ran, not turning around, neither of them noticing the light rain that'd begun to fall.
"Eh?" She blinked, as she watched him chase after her.
"I'm sorry!" He shouted, as he became out of sight.
"You really are an idiot." She smiled, as she turned back towards the castle.
I can't believe it... Kurogane and Souma...? Tomoyo breathed, as she kept running, finding herself lost in the maze of gardens that surrounded the castle walls. Why...?!
"Tomoyo!!"
"Kurogane...?!" She gasped as she turned, seeing her ninja chasing after her.
"...? Hime!" Kurogane shouted as he saw his princess run off yet again through the now pouring rain. "Dammit, why is she running?!
Oh no... I can't face him after I just saw that... She thought to herself as she disparately ran from him, tears involuntarily streaming down her face. And... he might really like Souma. I definitely can't face him!!
"Princess, just stop!" She blinked in surprise as she felt him grab her arm from behind.
"Kurogane." She blinked, hoping the rain masked her tears as she turned to see her exhausted guardsman.
"Tomoyo, why did you run off?" Kurogane asked, out of breath, glad that he finally caught her.
"It certainly would have been awkward if I stayed there, wouldn't it?" She smiled sarcastically, as she pulled her arm from his grip. He ran himself out of breath just to catch up to me...
"I know... but princess, I wanted to tell you..." Kurogane started to say, when she shook her head before he could continue.
"Kurogane, its alright if you return Souma's feelings. I-I don't mind..." The miko princess stuttered, as the tears in her eyes welled up once again, much to both of their surprise.
"Tomoyo!!" Kurogane shouted in shock as he saw tears rolling down her cheeks as he reached out for her, but she pulled away. "Wha-?"
"I-It's nothing! I'm fine-!" She tried to lie, not daring to look at him.
"Princess... I don't 'like' Souma. I will never 'like' her like that." Kurogane said flatly, as she felt her face break into a blush.
"...what...?" Tomoyo asked, in honest surprise, as she finally looked up at him. "But I thought that you liked her... I mean you..."
"Princess. I don't like her that way, I assure you." Kurogane smiled softly as he stood closer to her.
"But..."
"Tomoyo, the only person I care for... is you." He finished, as her heart pounding as she took a step back. "You and only you..."
"But- I...!" Tomoyo blushed heavily as she tried to argue, as she felt his hand grab her by the wrists as her ninja pulled her towards him, as he pressed his lips against hers.
...!! She blinked in sheer shock as she immediately pushed him away from her.
"Kurogane-!!" Tomoyo shouted, tears streaming down her face, not noticing the thunder crashing in the distance. "Y-you don't mean it!"
"...Tomoyo..." He whispered softly as his hand lightly brushed against his princess' face.
"I-I'm sorry. I don't know wh-why I'm crying...!" She stuttered softly, blushing again as she felt his arms wrap around her.
"Princess..." Kurogane murmured, tilting her face towards his, as he kissed her once again, her heart pounding as his hand pressed against the back of her neck, pulling her closer against him, as she gripped the fabric of his cloak, before he finally let her go. "I should get you back to the castle, before you catch a cold, shouldn't I?"
"Y-you're right..." Tomoyo admitted softly, still in shock that he'd kissed her again as they began to walk to the castle. "But the witch-san was right..."
"Eh? Tomoyo?" Kurogane blinked, as she shook her head.
"Oh, nothing." She smiled reassuringly.
She was right... I'm in love with him...
