Chapter 2:
On their
way back to the Manji village, Yoshimitsu and Kunimitsu were a little nervous.
What would the other members of the clan say? Would they accept Kunimitsu?
Yoshimitsu
looked at the girl walking beside him. What would he do, if they didn't? He
couldn't live without her now... Escape along with her?
Kunimitsu
stopped for a second, right before they reached the village.
-Yoshimitsu...
I... What if they don't want me back? she began.
-I've
thought about that to. I don't know. he replied. – I can't live without you.
-I'm sure
we'll come up with something. she said and kissed him softly.
They
started walking again. Soon they could see the light of the fire. Yoshimitsu
laid an arm around Kunimitsu and walked right into the village. Hundreds of
eyes followed them. One of the village's elders came over.
-What are
you doing here? he asked Kunimitsu. –You're banned!
-She's coming
with me, Ryu. I have to talk to you and the other elders about it. Kunimitsu,
go to my house and wait there. ok? Yoshimitsu pointed at his tree house.
-Ok. Let's
go inside the house of the elders. Ryu said to Yoshimitsu.
Kunimitsu
looked after them when they went inside the big, wooden house. She opened the
door of Yoshimitsu's house and walked slowly inside. She sat down on his bed
and waited. What would happen now? Would she and Yoshimitsu be allowed to live
together in this village?
She hadn't
waited long, when Yoshimitsu came in.
-What did
they say? she asked before he had closed the door. He sat down beside her.
-They'll
think of it and come up with a decision tomorrow. he said slowly.
Silence.
-It's late.
Let's go to bed now. Kunimitsu yawned and pulled off her clothes. Yoshimitsu
was walking restless around. He was worried of what tomorrow would bring.
-Come here
and try to get some sleep, honey. Kunimitsu made room for him in the small bed.
He threw his clothes on the floor and crawled up beside her. Soon they both
were fast asleep.
The next
day all the village's people were called together to hear the elders decision.
Yoshimitsu and Kunimitsu sat in the middle of the ring together with the
elders. They were quite nervous.
Ryu got up
and started walking around in the circle. He stopped in front of Yoshimitsu and
Kunimitsu.
-We have
made our decision. he began. – It wasn't easy.
He took a
few more steps.
-We'll not
accept taking Kunimitsu back as one of ours. She did something unforgivable and
we can't take back someone who's banned from the group. You of all people
should know that, Yoshimitsu. Ryu met Yoshimitsu's eyes. –She have one hour to
leave the village.
-I'm
leaving with her! there was no hesitation in Yoshimitsu's voice.
-You cannot
leave! You're our leader! You know what happens to leaders who betray us, don't
you? Anybody is allowed to kill you!
Yoshimitsu
looked at Kunimitsu. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
-I'll
rather die, than live my life without the one I love! he said loud and clear.
Everyone
was silent for a moment.
-Yoshimitsu...
Kunimitsu said slowly. – I'll leave now. Stay here and serve your purpose. The
village needs you. Maybe we'll meet again some day. Goodbye.
She turned
around and dashed off into the deep, dark forest. Yoshimitsu was about to run
after her, but the villagers held him back. He struggled to get free, but it
was no use. They was holding him to hard.
His eyes
stared into the dense forest.
-Kunimitsu.
he whispered. A single tear fell to the ground.
