In a tea room, a young man was facing the mistress who playing with cards in her hand

"Young man, do not do this. Do not run away, face the parents of the young girl that you love, say what your heart wants to say, and prove your worth to them."

A smile immediately formed on the young man face, who then left with joy.

Another sigh escaped the lips of Tokito.

"Sighing again, my love."

There Izumo no Okuni came in and gave Tokito a tea.

"Good work there, putting your skills to help those in love."

But the face Izumo sees is a face that is unsatisfactory, looks like Tokito still can't forget him

"Oh my, Come on Akira, Tokito is still waiting for you after all these years."

Tokito has clearly developed, the boyish style has changed into a beautiful maiden, a flower ripe to be taken, however, the thorns are so sharp that not your everyday man can take it. It was Izumo who calmed Tokito after she came back. The failure of finding Akira in the desserts was to much for her to bear, but with Izumo's guidance, she found a meaning of the experience that she had accumulated at the journey.

Izumo trained her at her restaurant, and eventually, Tokito became the Fortune Telling Maiden. Many people visited her shop just to meet Tokito.

Izumo took a glance at Tokito

"Tokito, help the others preparing the dinner party, and be prepared to receive the guests tonight"

"Yes, Izumo."

Tokito packed up and then was gone. Her beauty was really encapsulated in that moment of red purple evening. Her face, her body her movements have been refined, with a mysterious feeling arund the air as if she knows all about you the moment you look at her eyes.

After all has been done, Tokito was relaxing in her room.

" This is so stupid, helping someone getting their love, while Me myself have lost the love that was in my hands."

She clearly remembered all the moments she shared with Akira. She dreamed about him every night. How they met, how they fought, her insistence to chase him.

The memories of helping out the pair in the village shop.

Her chasing Akira for days with little to no clues.

How they met at the port just as Akira was about to depart to China.

How she was seasick while on board, and how ut was Akira who was beside her, even giving her his lap to sleep on as she was so scared and timid when the storm rocked the boat.

She blushed remembering how freightened she was and how she wanted Akira to keep being there for her, clinging to him and always saying his name.

"Akira..."

That name escaped her lips.

She felt warmth in her heart as that name resounded.

Her memories then flew again...Their arrival at Shanghai Port and the trouble they got into, with Tokito and Akira fighting against the Wushu practicioners. The fight dragged long for a month. Funnily enough, it was done just by Tokito's ability to do fortune telling, as her fortune telling solved the wushu practitioners problem.

She then rummaged through all her memories in that journey with Akira, all their up and downs, their fights with each other and together.

She smiled, she was happy with the memories, it all tasted very sweet for her.

But all thse sweet memories came to an abrupt end at the Taklamakan desert. Akira somehow left her and no matter how hard she tried, she cannot find his whereabouts. After calming down her heartbreak, she tried to move forward, but there seems to be an unseen force preventing her to go further, so she decided to come back and settle back in Japan

"Akira, where are you? I miss you...I'm sorry for what I have done...
