Chapter 12: Sanosuke Sagara
Tokito was looking at me dangerously. I didn't want to admit it, but she obviously didn't want me around. She was looking at me like a tigress that was protecting her territory.
"We have nothing to talk about Sanosuke Sagara," she said to me coldly.
"Well now, you've changed," I said. "Did sleeping with that pest of a husband of yours give you some of his frozen heart?"
"How dare you say that to my lord," she said. "You are intruding in my house and if you leave this instant I will consider you forgiven and forget this ever happened."
I was getting fed up with jealousy. How could she give that stupid roach such love and devotion? How could she possibly take her marriage to him seriously? What could she ever see in a guy like him?
"I'm not leaving until I get some answers from you," I said. "You were the one who kissed me in the first place. You and me were complete strangers back then, and you did that. Does that mean nothing to you?" I asked her.
She looked at me so coldly. She answered me in the exact same way. "Yes."
I was taken by shock. So, it meant nothing. I fussed about what happened between us for the longest time, and it all amounted to nothing. I was absolutely nothing to her.
"So why did you even do it?" What was the significance?" I asked. I prayed that she didn't do it to make fun of me.
She looked at me so analytically. It was as if she was reading me like a book. She looked at me like this for so long before answering.
"I was searching," she said.
"For what?" I asked.
"For the only one for me," she answered.
I stared at her in disgust for the first time. "You mean you kiss men to determine whether or not they are good for you?" I asked, appalled.
"You could say that," she said.
"How does that tell you anything?"
"It just does." "How could it?" I insisted.
"I don't know!" she shouted. "I...it's...hard to explain."
"I'd take any explanation as long as it's from you," I added.
She looked at me like she wanted to kill me. When she stood up, it seemed like she was seriously going to do it. With dangerous eyes and a cold tone, she said, "I do not wish to lose my patience with you Sanosuke. Please leave my house and do not come near me ever again."
I clenched my fists. How could it end like this? I can't just leave!!
"HOW COULD YOU CHOOSE HIM OVER ME????"
I started to walk to Tokito. When I did, the wind began to gust strongly and Tokito was looking at me without blinking with the wind against her face. Suddenly, the world around me started to become disoriented. Everything was spinning and I didn't know anything from everything.
When it all came to focus and the world stopped spinning, I found myself along the riverside, but not the riverside along the city. There weren't any buildings near this riverside. All I saw were trees. I was in a forest...wait...a forest?? How did I get to a forest??
