Chapter 12

After their talk Kouen walked Mira to her room.

"If there is any new information I will inform you"

"Okay"

"Then…" as Kouen is about to leave Mira stops him.

"Wait"

"What wrong?"

"How can you leave me alone at a time like this?"

"Hmm?"

"I mean we just decided on something important that will change our lives;…" Mira looks down mumbling.

"And?" Kouen find it hard to understand what she wants to say; and it seems his clueless seems to irritate her.

"Comfort me; relieve me, ease my mind. Anything" she pouts; sulking.

"Are you hesitating?"

"Of course no; but at least make me feel I am making the right decision, I can't see Obaasan so I am not sure what she may think about it"

"That's right; she can't go outside to meet her family; it must be hard for her to take on big decision alone like this"

Kouen push her inside the room and close the room door behind them.

"What's with you?"

"Someone is passing the halls" That is a lie.

"Oh..."

"Let's wait inside; you said you didn't want to be alone" she takes his hand happily and lead him inside. Both of them are lying on the bed; facing each other.

"Stay with me until I fell asleep"

"I am the one who should worry much; I am going to care for a kid after all"

"I am not a kid; if you're going to make me angry then leave" she want to pushes him; but he don't move an inch.

"Sorry; I won't tease you"

"Think about me; I will with your teasing for my whole life, I wonder if I will be able to survive?" she sulk and turn her back to him.

"Are you mad?"

"…" No replay.

"It seems that your sleeping; so I will leave you" when Mira felt him move she turns around quickly to be met by his lips.

"Got you"

He parted away to look at her face flushed face; her expression is different from any other time. A face that makes him desire body and soul. Mira looked at Kouen; his face is serious as he moved closer to cover her lips again. Mira also feels that it's a different kiss this time; it is kiss that showed hunger for her. Kouen deepen the kiss and move to be on top of her, holding his weight to not crush the fragile girl underneath him.

"Kouen…." He doesn't even let her catch her breath to capture her lips again. Mira brain went blank.

"What's wrong with him? This kiss is different from the previous kisses" but she didn't push him away from her. He moved from her lips to drop small along the way down to her neck. He stopped at her collarbone and bite hard; causing Mira to moan. At her voice Kouen stopped; realizing what he's doing right now. He immediately moved away to look at her flushed face that's looking more like tomato now.

"Um…..I…." Mira stutters; looking all around as she's lying on the bed. Kouen looked at her; it's him who should be like this.

"Idiot; it's your fault, don't blame me"

"What do….." As Mira sits up to argue; she stops as she witness his expression, a small blush on his face as he's looking the other way.

"What do I do? I am really happy right now" she opens her arms and put them around his neck; hugging him and giggling.

"Why are laughing now?"

"I am just happy that you love me that's all" Kouen break their hug and look at her face.

"Dose it seems to you that I don't?" Mira quickly shakes her head and take her hand in hers.

"No; don't misunderstand me, I just thought that I am the only one who always miss you and want to see you; it's like I love you more than you do"

"Sorry if I made you think that way; I just don't know how since I was raised like this"

"Don't worry; I will shower you with a lot of love to the extent that you love me more" Mira smiled at him, rubbing her eyes.

"I will leave you now; go to sleep"

"Okay" he kisses her forehead and get up from the bed.

"Goodnight"

"Goodnight; see you tomorrow" Kouen leave the room. As soon as Mira hears the door close she falls back on the bed; rolling from side to side.

"What would happen if we didn't stop? Kyaaa I can't even imagine it"

"Oww…" from the excitement Mira fall of the bed.

The next day in the morning

Mira wake up early than usual and start getting dressed; usually Minako, Ayame and Izumi help her get ready but since she can't hold her happiness she decides to start her day cheerfully. Now she's choosing her dress when she notices something that make her whole body flush; a bite mark where Kouen has kissed her yesterday. She brings her hand and touches the red spot

"Good thing I woke up early; I don't know what to say if someone sees it" Mira choses a dress that cover that area completely and comb her hair up in a ponytail.

"Everything looks good" she glances at the clock to see it's still early for anyone to be up, a small smile spread on her face as she thought of a great idea, she get up and leave the room making her way quietly in the big halls.

For Kouen it's different; he was able to sleep soundly and deeply that night; knowing that everything will be alright for them and once they married she will be legally his wife and the queen of this country, she will hold his name and bear his children; their children. When Mira officially become his wife; she will be under his protection and no one can take her from him, these were his thoughts as he went to sleep. Now he's awake doing nothing; he also wake up early, not like he forgotten what he did.

"I didn't expect to lose myself like that; it's her fault for showing a face like that; I don't know how many I said that but really what a defenseless girl, I better warn her next time"

Kouengets up from the bed and decides to take a shower; since he have the time before starting a long day of work; because the celebration will be tomorrow and he will be busy with the guests.

With Mira

Mira is standing in the middle of the big kitchen; holding a hand under her chain thinking, she looks around the kitchen when she real quick to know the place of the things that she may need, luckily no one is her or else she would have already been exposed and out of here either by the workers or her attendants. It's like that it's enough to stop her anyway, but now the bigger problem she is facing that she don't know what to cook for Kouen, he always eat what is served to them at the dinner time.

"Of course he will; I mean a meal prepared by the most skilled chef and cooks are different from my cooking" Mira shake her head to stop the negative thoughts "Even so; I want him to eat my cooking, but what should I cook? My favorites? No I can't grantee that he will like it" Mira kept on thinking until she reached a final decision. She starts taking out the ingredients and the tools she will need, Mira is great at cooking, all who tasted her food said so because she was able to learn from Ayako and Kimiko the best ones she ever could learn from. She was able to create her own recipes.

"I better move fast before someone wake up and ruin my surprise; I wonder how his majesty will react to it?" Mira kept on smiling the whole time as she washes and cuts the food; she even had the time to bake some desserts. When she finished she takes out a food cart and place everything on it. And before she goes she washed everything in its place and cleaned the kitchen to as it never has been used at all.

"I hope he will like it" Mira pushes the cart and make her way to Kouen chamber.

At the same time Kouen is already done with his bath and dressed ready to go out and start his day. He looked at his mother picture and smiled as if he is seeing her.

"Mother it's all thanks to you I will be having a great life with Mira by my side; and this time I won't make her suffer or go through what you've endured for me and my brother sake"

Looking at the picture one last time Kouen make his way as he opens the door her bump into someone; he looks down at the familiar figure as he hold her to not to fall down.

"Oh, good morning" Mira smiles up to him

"Morning"

"Good; she's acting normal" Kouen felt at ease knowing that she's not acting distant with him.

"Where are you going?"

"I woke up early so I am going to work; and you? What brings you here this early?"

"I also woke up early and decided to surprise you"

"Huh?" he looks at her wondering.

"Let's go inside; shall we!" she says pulling him by the arm back to the room; Mira looks around finding what she need she urges him to sits around a small table.

"What are you doing?" he asks as she pulls another chair to the table.

"Just wait a minute" and again she goes outside to come back pushing a food cart.

"Before you start working you should eat to be able to keep up the whole day"

"You didn't have to go through all the trouble"

"Don't worry about it; I love to cook" she looks at him while organizing the small table and placing the plates on it.

"You made this?" he asks observing the food; it was a tradition Japanese food, Sukiyaki a big bowl of rice with vegetables, tofu and vermicelli at the side, along with the soup.

"Here; I honestly didn't know what to cook for you since I don't know what you prefer" Mira says taking her place in front of him.

"How did you cook; if you were to go to the kitchen someone must have stopped you"

"Don't worry; no one is there it's still early for anyone to be up, will except the guards"

"I see"

"Try it and tell me what do you think of it" Kouen looked at how serious she is, he taste the soup first.

"So?"

"It's delicious" he liked it.

"Really?"

"Yeah; I am not joking"

"Thank goodness" Mira sigh in relieve and her shoulder drops down.

"I worried since you're used to the food here; I know it's not comparable; but as long as you like it, it's worth it" Kouen reach to touch her hand across the table.

"That's not true at all; yours is different in a way" Mira smiles at his words and she start to eat her food.

"I learned to make the Sukiyaki from grandmother and the soup is my own idea"

"You mean how there is a lot of potato and chicken instead of vegetables"

"You really are observant; how did you know?"

"That's what children prefer"

"Do you want to fight in the early morning?"

"It's true; it's not?"

"Will your right in this one"

Aren't I always?"

I really hate you cocky attitude" "

"Yes; I heard that before"

"That's right the first day of the festival is tomorrow; you will be very be very busy today"

"Yeah; I will try to finish my paper work so I have the time for the guests who will come in the next days"

"I see; even if your busy remember to eat and don't skip the meals" Kouen feels happy that she's worried about him.

"By the way; I am announcing the marriage tomorrow; the sooner the better"

"Okay; I bet everyone will be busy in the palace" and they kept on talking while eating.

"After the meal comes the dessert; tada" she holds a basket full of cookies to him.

"We just finished the breakfast"

"It's okay; I always eat it after my meal" she pours some hot milk with it.

"You really love to drink milk anytime"

"Yeah; I really do" he can't say no to her.

"Here you go; be careful it's hot"

"If you keep spoiling me like this I will start to anticipates more and more from you"

"I said it yesterday didn't I; I will love you and show it to you by all means, all you have to do is to accept it"

"Thank you"

"You also should stop thanking and apologizing to me; there is no need for it between us now"

"You right; I get what you mean" when their finally done; Mira gathers everything with Kouen help and put everything in the cart.

"Leave the cart here I will send someone to take it later; by now someone must be looking for you"

"I don't want to think about it; I heard that I should try a few dresses for the celebration and other things"

"Grandmother won't leave you alone" he smirks at her.

"Oh that's right I remembered something; you promised me that you will do something for me if I did well with my lessons"

"I didn't forget it; so what do you want"

"Will…." And Mira told him her request as they stand at the door.

"You can't?" he looks at her as she looks at him with her blue eyes; a look that he couldn't refuse.

"No; I don't mind and it will be good for us"

"Thank you" and she hugs him; he kisses the top of her hair breathing in her sweet scent.

"You won't regret it; I promise you" she looks at him unable to hide her happiness that he accepted her request.

"As long I am with you there is nothing to regret" he raises his hand to cupped her cheek and lower his head to her level; and their lips touches in a long, sweet kiss.

Just to clear things up I am starting a new Fan-Fiction about the anime Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru and I am not stopping this story to assure the people who asked about it.

No one asked me about the new story I was really sad; I thought someone will like it as me for sure.

Wait for the next chapter and the new story.
