The Promise

by Dragontone

YOU are Sui Feng, trained as an assassin you can kill in a blink of an eye but now you are racing against the clock. Can you save your former captain and mentor, Yoruichi before it's too late? This is a choose your own adventure story.

37. Chapter 37

37 - Admit this is a bad idea and leave?

You jump out of bed, apologizing. "I'm sorry, I can't!"

Yoruichi looks surprised. "Soi, there's nothing…"

"People will talk," You interrupt. "I'm not like you. I worry what they'll say… I think I should go." You paused seeing the look of disappointment on Yoruichi's face. "I'm sorry."

"Its okay, Sui Feng. I understand."

"I'll come and see you first thing in the morning. I promise." You offer.

Yoruichi nods, still looking stunned that you were leaving. "I'll still be here."

You move to the door and look back one last time being leaving. "I'm sorry."

Out in the corridor you feel emotionally deflated. You had your chance and you turned it down because of your fear of being discovered. You can't believe the one thing that might be stopping you from getting together with Yoruichi is yourself.

No, you'll make it up to her tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a better day. Will it?

THE END
