Chapter 2

Eriol sat silently on his armchair that faced the fireplace before him. To his left, there was a couch, where Kaho had sat herself comfortably reading one of her books. He slowly stole a gaze towards the lady and couldn't help but to feel guilty.

How couldn't he have seen it sooner? 2 years with the woman he had claimed to be his match, in the end to find out that it was a mistake. Why haven't he noticed it before? The feeling he felt for this lady was not love. He had forced himself to believe that he was truly in love when in fact it was nothing more then a brotherly love.

Eriol despised himself for being such a stubborn person and also for creating false hopes. He needed to tell Kaho the truth. Eriol couldn't promise her a future together anymore.

"Kaho I need to speak to you."

The lady then slowly put down the book on her lap to gaze her eyes upon him. She smiled softly. "What is it Eriol?"

"Remember when I told you that I can't predict the future anymore?" He began but found it difficult to continue.

"Yes I remember." Kaho replied still smiling. "It was when I told you that if both of us felt the same feeling our future would turn out to be alright."

Eriol nodded, confirming the events. "I believe one of us has lost that feeling." Kaho's eyes widened, "Are you accusing me of cheating you?" she demanded. "Eriol I truly love you and you know that!"

Her words just brought a sea of guilt into Eriol's heart. The truth did hurt but it must be told. "Kaho I'm not blaming you of anything."

A sudden fear crawled into her as realization dawned in. "Please tell me you're lying."

Eriol sadly shock his head. "Kaho I'm sorry. I should have realized it before you've got hurt."

Tears began to emerge as the lady quickly stood up. "What can we expect? Life does play tricks on us all."

"Kaho I'm deeply sorry." Eriol apologized.

She only smiled. "No remorse Eriol. I understand. In fact I had a hunch that this would have happened, that is why we're still not married."

Eriol sat silently as he watched the lady leave towards the staircase where she went up and shut herself alone in the bedroom for hours.

Kaho left the next day.

Eriol burst the doors open to his vast library startling Spinel who sat quietly on the chair reading a book. Seeing that his master was in a sort of hurry, the feline decided best to not disturb him. Eriol approaching his desk quickly pinned the maiden's sketch onto the wooden furniture and stared at her figure.

"Now." He whispered. "To find out where you hide away from me love."

Spinel getting a bit curious at his master's attitude decided to take a peak at the paper which Eriol so fervently stared down at. Even before he could fly up, his master suddenly pointed towards his direction, without gazing away.

"Curiosity killed the cat, Spinel. When I need your help I'll inform you."

Eriol knew he needed to do this on his own. His first mistake should not be repeated again. By doing this alone, Eriol would prove to the maiden that he was worthy of her love and that he regrets for making a mistake before.

Eriol gazed searchingly into the sketch, those amethyst eyes seemed so familiar to him. She taunted him with her gaze and send his heart beating fast. Eriol needed to find her fast, but yet she somehow spoke of patience, telling him that he was the only man she loved and waited.

He trusted her and so relaxed and calmed himself. Eriol had time to search out the truth but yet his heart craved for the maiden's love.

Sitting himself onto his chair, Eriol kept his gaze fixed onto the sketch. He knew that the lady he searched for wouldn't actually look like the maiden but the feeling that she emitted would be the exact same emotions. She was his true match, he knew it. His heart spoke of her in his own beating.

Spinel watched his master curiously. He was sitting himself silently for minutes now that the feline was getting worried something might be wrong. Knowing it was best not to disturb, Spinel returned to his book and gazed up often to check on his master.

Hearing footsteps approaching, the feline quickly flew up and exited the door, wanting to prevent the person from breaking Eriol's concentration.

"Nakuru you better stay out." He spoke as the guardian was about to walk in the half opened door to the library.

"Why?" She inquired in bewilderment as she peaked inside to see her silent master.

"He is working on something that even I can't be part of."

Nakuru smiled knowingly, she knew the feline was feeling rejected, but whatever the master was working on, it was important. "Spinel." Nakuru now spoke while turning away to walk towards the kitchen.

"Yes?" He questioned while flying beside her.

"Do you know where mistress Kaho went?"

"She left this morning. By the looks of it, she might not be coming back anytime soon."

Nakuru looked surprised and extremely happy by such news. "You mean master is single again?"

Spinel nodded his head. Nakuru then suddenly grabbed hold of the feline and gave him a tight hug before twirling around in joy.

"Let go of me! I'm getting dizzy!" complained Spinel as he tried to tug away.

"Sorry." Nakuru replied sheepishly as she let go.

"Why such excitement anyways?" Spoke the feline as he slowly settled himself onto the girl's shoulder, since his vision was failing him.

Nakuru smiled, "That means master is searching for his true match!" she concluded.

"You mean to say that he is in the library trying to find his love?"

She nodded.

"But that can lead to billions of possibilities! It's impossible to find his true match." Spinel exclaimed to that absurdity.

"Your wrong there, because I happen to know who it is. Besides master's heart will lead him to the right path, I'm sure of that."
