Unfading Memories- Chapter 2
*Its getting boring around here nowadays.* Yawning slightly, Soujiro got up. *The day is just going to start out like any other day.I can't do anything for fun anymore. Even training is getting boring since I've mastered most of what Himura sensei has taught me. Isn't there a way I can somehow skip this day? Being a prince is getting to be less and less interesting since now okaasan (Yumi) keeps drooping hints for me to get married.
Not that the princesses are ugly. Heck! They were all beautiful, but there was just something that's missing.* "Arrgh! It's so complicating. there's nothing for me to do! Maybe I should head for town! Yeah! But everywhere I go people will recognise me and then there goes my fun again... Just like last time." Soujiro said to himself as he recalled his last failed attempt. *I should really work on it. Who knows, maybe this time it might seriously work.Now to only work out the finer details. Hopefully this time it works.* Smirking, Soujiro left his room to head for his lessons. *I hope Saito sensei won't scold me for being late again. I can't help it if his lessons are so boring right?* Sighing, he walked through the corridor outside his room, and shutting the door to his room left for the study room for his lessons.
Meanwhile.
"I just wish Spring could pass by faster!!!" Misao said exasperatedly and to emphasize her point, she started scrubbing the kitchen floor with all her might. Until Kaoru said, "Keep that up and the kitchen will no longer have any floors. What's with the I-hate-spring attitude? I thought you LOVE spring?"
Sighing and almost sounding as if she was tired of explaining why, Misao said, "I DO love spring its just that I wish the start of summer could come earlier than usual. I'm definitely sure why you know right?"
"Sou ka. Your birthday ne? Misao-CHAN!" teased the older girl.
Misao pretending to ignore what her best friend said turned slightly red in the face and wistfully said, "I wish my 16th birthday could come soon. I really want to know what would happen on that special day. I always hear you, Okon, Omasu talking about how special it is on your 16th birthday that now it seem to have affected me so much that I also can't help but want to come sooner too."
"Maa maa. Don't worry, Spring is about to end in a few weeks and its not like your birthday would run away right? So relax!" Kaoru smiled and went back to scrubbing the kitchen floor.*Besides I've something that would cheer you up indefinitely.* As she thought about her plan, the smile on her face grew wider.
Few days later.
"FINALLY!! Today's the end of spring!!! Yay!!" screamed Misao in joy as she woke up before daybreak, unashamed at the noise she was making, and also unknown to the fact that many were grunting and some screaming at her to go back to sleep.
"Kaoru!! Tomorrow's the first day of Summer!!! Aren't you glad for me? My 16th birthday is the 3rd day of Summer!! I'm SO excited!!! Ne? Kaoru?
"Yeah, I'm SO happy for you. So just go back to sleep already!!" Kaoru near shouted as she pulled the blanket over her head.
Kaoru?" Misao shot her friend a death glare, which luckily her friend did not see as it was enough to burn a hole through the floor .
*Never mind, I'm so excited. My birthday's coming soon!!! I wonder if I can ask for permission to go back to see Jiya. Darn! I can't Anji would never allow me to go back more than three times in a month. And I've already used up all three. Oh well. I better just take the day as it comes. I hope that my 16th birthday would be just as special as Kaoru's, Omasu's and Okon's. Well, no sense in pondering about it. Might as well go to sleep so that the day can come faster!!* Thinking these happy thoughts, Misao lay back down on the mattress and quickly fell asleep, a small smile on her face.
Sweet dreams Misao!
A/N: Ok, another revised fic done. Yay for me!! Hope you guys enjoyed it. See you soon!!
