CHAPTER 2A day of relaxation awaits the couple. Once finished getting ready, Teku and Kurama walk outside into the cool, crisp air. A slight breeze blows over them both, swaying their hair back and forth. A clear day brightens the couple's lives, knowing that they can do virtually anything without a care in the world.
Kurama and Teku stroll in the park. After much walking, they rest on a park bench and watch the little children play. Some were playing with a ball, others playing a simple game of hide-and-seek.
Kurama puts his arm around his lover and smiles. "Nice and peaceful, isn't it Teku?" He closes his eyes as a light wind comes and blows on his beautiful face.
The wolf demon just stares at the ground with a depressed look in her eyes. She responds with a simple, "yes."
The fox senses something's wrong with her. He looks down at her and brings her face close to his own. "What's wrong my little wolf?" He asks with a worried tone.
Teku just continues to stare at the floor. "Nothing."
"Are you sure? You know you can tell me anything, correct?" Kurama gives her a reassuring kiss on the head.
The wolf demon is still unaffected. "Ya, I know."
Kurama sighs. There's only one thing that he can do that can make his love feel better.
"Why don't I get you some ice cream? Does that sound good?" He smiles at her.
"Yes, sounds good." She manages to conjure up a little smile.
I knew it. She couldn't resist.
The red-haired fox stands up and walks to the nearest ice cream stand. He stands in line, waiting to get his precious love some of her favorite treat.
As Kurama goes to get ice cream, Teku remains seated, staring at the ground. It's unclear as to why she feels gloomy today, considering she's now free and with her true love. Only she knows why she's sad.
Three more days…three more days till…She keeps thinking as to what's going to happen in three days. Whatever it is, it must be causing Teku to be sad.
Kurama returns holding a single cone with two ice cream scoops on it. He takes his place next to Teku, putting the cone in front of her face. "Here."
"Huh?" Teku turns her head towards her lover's face. Her face no longer looks sorrowful. Now she's clueless, as if she has no idea what he's talking about.
"I got two scoops. That way we can just share." He sounded very cheerful and happy.
His features wear a mask of happiness, shielding what his soul really feels, sadness towards Teku.
Teku just stares. "Oh…okay." She shields the event that's going to happen in three days with thoughts of her foxy love.
Kurama and Teku share the ice cream. Each takes little licks of the delicious vanilla.
"This ice cream is good, isn't it?" said Kurama as he takes another lick.
The wolf smiles towards her love. "Yes." She is no longer sad or confused. Just simple happiness and the thought of her new life wit her love.
As the ice cream starts to melt a little, the fox and wolf eat it a bit faster. Without noticing, a bit of the sweet snow gets on Teku's nose. Kurama looks at her and smiles. Then he laughs. Oh, what a sweet laugh he has. It's like a beautiful symphony playing. He finds it adorable and with the ice cream on Teku's nose, it's even cuter.
"Sweetie, you have got some on your nose." The fox just keeps on smiling.
"Huh?" Teku looks down at her nose as much as she could. Her clueless expression lights up Kurama's emotions.
The red-haired boy uses his slender, elegant finger to wipe the sweet snow off his lover's face. While doing that, he stares deep into her eyes.
Teku, in turn, gazes back. But as soon as she looks into his emerald eyes, everything changes. The atmosphere around her transforms. Instead of a park she's sitting at, she's in a house with a fireplace. Instead of a hand on her face, she sees a napkin. And instead of her Kurama, she sees a boy who looks completely different.
"Fa…father?" What Teku sees in front of her is her father, well, foster father. He had black hair tied up in a ponytail. A red headband with black diamonds encrusted on it surrounded his forehead. There is a black mark underneath his left eye and piercing his left ear is a die earring. The single die earring dangles next to his young face.
The young boy stares back at Teku with his mysterious green eyes, similar to Kurama's. However, this guy was human.
He speaks with a deep voice, very deep considering his age. "There. Does it still hurt my dear?"
Teku just gazes into the boy's eyes, completely clueless. She's still recovering from the shock and confusion she got when everything suddenly changed. She doesn't answer, just remains completely silent, staring at the young boy's green eyes.
Not long after the sudden change, the world around the wolf demon transforms again. This time, back to the way it used to be. The house is gone. The napkin is gone. And the boy with the black hair and green eyes is gone.
Teku is left still staring, but this time at Kurama. He too wears a clueless face.
The red-haired rogue is the first to speak. "Are you alright?" He sounded worried.
Teku's clueless face remains still. She has no idea as to what happened or what caused it.
The boy she saw, the young raven-haired one, was her father, her foster father. When she first came to his planet, he was the first to take care of her. He fed her, he clothed her, and he taught her everything he knew, despite his young age. This boy's name…Ryuuji Otogi, Ryuuji Teku's only father and first person she knew and loved.
That flashback of that special event causes the wolf demon to be entirely still and silent. Only one little breath of sound escapes from her lips. All she manages to say is, "I don't know."
Flashback to Teku's past…lovely. I'll most likely not reveal what caused the flashback so I'll do it here. Kura-chan's eyes caused it. Since they were green and all, his and Otogi's.
