Author's Note: I don't own samurai x. I want to dedicate this story to
Kimberly Kaye J. Atuel because she was the one who realized my mistake on
my story Strangers. That it was an old era so I put a 'cell phone' scene
there. Sorry. Think of it not so old. Also dedicated to Kristine G. Alonso
because she inspired me the song Only Time by Enya. This story is dedicated
to Samurai X fans out there and to people who read this. This is Okita
Soushi's story...my character. Some characters are not part of Samurai X.
Okita Soushi just have his hair cut that day. Bye-bye to that long hair which is now short. As he now entered the house Silvia his sister spotted him. "You've been called to dad's office", Silvia said.
"For?" Okita asked.
"He'll talk to you about Linna. By the way you look like Soujirou", Silvia compliment.
"Yeah I know", then he strode off to his father's office.
~*~*~*~*~
"You wished to see me father?" Okita said as he entered his dad's office.
"Yu look like Soujirou", was his father said when he saw him. "Take a seat", he did what his father told him. "I'm very sorry on what happened between you and Linna. Because she'll go to Canada to finish her studies and she'll take up medicine. And she doesn't know when to come back", Okita senior said. "So I've arranged an engagement for you", he added.
"But dad-"before Okita could continue he was cut off.
"Listen first when I die I want you to take my place. You and your wife", Okita senior interrupted.
"How about sister? She had finished schooling!" Okita suggested.
"Yes you two but she doesn't want to be engaged yet", Okita senior answered as he ease back at the chair. "Son I'm not saying you'll replace Linna what I mean is love again. I want my best friend's daughter to be engaged to you because your uncle is a family friend and that he also like his daughter to be married", Okita senior explained.
"But you're forcing me!" Okita said.
"Son I'm old and since you and your sister and your wife will handle the company...I trust you!" his father added.
"Fine!" was all Okita could say. "I'm meeting with Linna at the mall, in a restaurant later dad!" he added, standing up.
"Take care son". Then Okita left.
~*~*~*~*~
He walked through the streets, then to the mall. He had seen the restaurant and saw Linna. He sat down across the table. "I thought it was Soujirou", Linna too compliment.
"That is everybody thinks. But that's impossible coz' he's in America", Okita said.
"I have ordered food Okita. Let's eat!" Linna said.
"Sure", was all he could say. Okita and Linna are in fourth year high school. Both studied in Kojimachi Private High School. But in third grading Linna will go to Canada, finish her schooling, and take up medicine. That was her parent's say. It nearly broke her heart. She had cried in front of them. She loves Okita so much. But her parent's says it's the best. But can't they see? How could it be the best? When they know their daughter's happiness is him too. "Father have arranged an engagement with me", he started, waiting for her reaction.
"Really?" she stared into him, a tea cup on her hand. "That's great!" she said as if congratulating him. She put the cup down.
"It's not!" Okita try to lower his voice and careful not to shout at her. He reaches for her hand across the table. "Linna you know I love you very, very much. You can't just say those words".
"I know. But we've got nothing to do Okita", she withdrew her hand, eyes on her lap. "Let's just stay...friends", she finished.
"Is that your decision?" he asked, somewhat shock.
"Yes. We'll be apart and I don't even know when I'll get back. But if you and that girl you are engaged with will be wed someday don't forget to invite me!" she said, as she laughed.
"Stupid!" he said, laughing along. "Fine! I'll invite you that is if we'll end up", he said testing her.
"You will. I've got a feeling anyway", she guessed...hopefully.
"There you go again with your so-called-psychic-power!" the both laughed as they exchange ideas. After they had paid their food they left. "So this is goodbye?" Okita asked.
"Tomorrow is goodbye Okita", Linna corrected. "I'll be in the airport tomorrow", he said.
"I'll wait for you!" with that she waved goodbye and was off.
~*~*~*~*~
That very morning Asaki Asakura [author's Notes: Actually it was my friend Kimberly who suggested the name. She said it was Asahi but I was deaf so I heard Asaki. Oh well...she found it cute though] had arrived on Okita's mansion. She will live here for quite some time. Since she's engaged to him. As her aquamarine eyes scanned the house Silvia noticed her. "Hi! I'm Silvia Okita...your fiancé's sister!" Silvia introduced.
"Hi! Asaki Asakura!" Asaki introduced back.
"Oh...you should go to Okita's room. I'll let you guide there. And I'll take that", Silvia said, getting the bag. "Come on let's go to his room", she added as Asaki followed her.
~*~*~*~*~
"Here's his room. Talked to him will you? His fiancé is leaving for Canada and he just promised her yesterday he'll go to the airport. But now...he think twice", Silvia said.
"Don't worry Silvia. I'll help him", Asaki told her. Silvia nod.
"Okay I'll put your bag in your room I'll show it to you later", she said.
"Okay", as Silvia left Asaki ready herself to face her fiancé.
~*~*~*~*~
Okita was sitting at the bed...thinking until his door opened. "Hi! I'm Asaki Asakura", Asaki said.
"Oh yeah! My soon-to-be-wife", Okita joked while he noticed her blush. "Okita Soushi is my name. Come take a seat", he said as he moved a little by the bed as Asaki sat beside him.
"You have a problem right?" Asaki asked.
"How did you know?" Okita asked back.
"Your sister told me. If I were you, I'd go to the airport. It's her last day in Japan today. Besides she is your girlfriend", Asaki suggested.
"Your right Asaki. Thanks", he trembly holds her hand. "For being here", she smiled.
"Let's go! The plane will leave".
"Let's stop by a toy shop for a while. I want to buy her a gift", he told her. She nodded and they we're off.
~*~*~*~*~
Okita planned to give her a teddy bear. They we're different kinds. But Asaki spotted one. "Okita! Over here!" she called as Okita went to her. She held out a brown teddy bear with a red ribbon around his neck.
"It's cute", Okita compliment. Asaki shoved the teddy bear to Okita.
"Give it to her", she gave a wry smile and decided to wait for him outside. While Okita went to the counter to pay the stuff toy.
"Come on let's go!" Okita told her when he went out of the shop.
"Okay", was Asaki could say as she walk to his side.
"We just met but you cheered me up", he look at her as so did she. "Thanks", he added.
"No problem!" was all she could say.
~*~*~*~*~
"Linna! Linna!" he said running to her as Asaki walked confidently with a smile on her face.
"Glad you came. I was about to go", said Linna. Okita gave the teddy bear, cheeks flushed. "This is for me?" she asked. He nodded. "Thank you". Then Asaki was beside him. "Your fiancé?" Linna asked.
"Yeah. Linna this is Asaki. Asaki this is LInna", Okita introduced the two.
"Pleased to meet you", said Linna.
"You too", Asaki said.
"Linna come on the plane will leave ten minutes from now" Linna's mother called.
"Too bad we just met and talked a little Asaki", Linna said.
"I agree", Asaki told her. Linna turned to Okita.
"Goodbye Okita. Until we meet again...someday", she kissed him in the cheek and grab her bag. "Bye", was her last words. Okita's tears fell from his eyes. Asaki noticed it so she gave her handkerchief to him.
"Don't cry", Asaki comforted him. "If she saw you cry she won't be happy". Okita wipe his tears using the handkerchief and keep it.
"Thanks", he paused as he looks at the disappearing figure of Linna. Then continued. "How about let's eat for a while?" Okita suggest.
"Okay", Asaki answered.
~*~*~*~*~
"Where have you two been?" Silvia said, scolding the two.
"Sister we-"but Okita was cut off.
"Oh never mind the reason! Go to sleep you two still have classes tomorrow. And you and Asaki are going to Kojimachi together. She's a transferee by the way in the third grading", Silvia explained, walking up the stairs.
"Why is that?" Okita asked.
"So that you two could be together! Go to sleep you two!"
~*~*~*~*~
"Look she had come down!" Silvia said, as she was sipping the cup of tea in her hand. Okita look up at her. She was beautiful.
'Linna is more beautiful', he thought. She was wearing the Kojimachi Private High School uniform. A blue blazer under it was a short sleeved blouse. And she wears a red necktie. In the breast pocket in encoded the initials KPHS. She was wearing a blue skirt just below her knee. Wears white socks and black shoes. She had tied her long aquamarine hair in a ponytail using a blue ribbon. She looks perfect! She was blushing on how he observed her when she had taken her seat. Rude at all he tore his gaze away.
"Now eat your food dear so you won't be late!" Silvia said.
"Yes Silvia!" was all the blushing Asaki could say.
