Chapter 15: where does it end?

Everything was very dark making the girl's heart beat faster due to fright. It was very cold and the only thing around her was pitch black. She can't remember where it started and doesn't know where to end… she doesn't know where she is and not sure of where she was going… a child without a face, a life without a reason… a heart without love…

"Wait! Love?" she asked herself in the midst of it all.

"No… I have someone to love. I have been searching for him and I know I found him." She insisted.

But where he is… that's the real question…

"He was… he is and he will always be… in my heart. No matter what happens."

With that the light suddenly took over creeping its way to the dark abyss and turning night completely into day.

-------

Pirika slowly opened her eyes and looked around her seeing herself in a warm futon with her brother.

"Pirika! You're awake!" Horohoro shouted noticing her eyes opened again.

Pirika finally sat up looking quite confused, but that changed when something hit her mind… she then hugged Horohoro at once.

"Oniichan!" she cried.

"Pirika?" Horo can't believe what he just heard.

He knows that he heard Pirika call her that before she fainted but he just thought that he must have been hearing things… but to hear it again for the second time around… it was just… surprising.

Pirika slowly let go looking happily at her brother.

"Did… did you just call me… oniichan?" he asked looking confused as well as startled.

Pirika nod and smiled again.

"Why wouldn't I?" She inquired, "You're my brother." She said with a sincere smile.

"Did Ren tell you this? If he did I'll surely-" Horohoro said clenching his hand into a fist.

"No!" Pirika interrupted before Horohoro could really react.

"Mr. and Mrs. Honda told me that. Though I can't remember everything in my past I know that you are my brother and I'm an Usui… I know the truth now oniichan." She explained.

Horohoro then calmed himself down, though he didn't want this to happen he was glad to find his sister recognizing him as her brother once again. He must admit though that he really, really, really, really, really missed Pirika so much that he's getting crazier every moment of longing. But before he could start to rejoice he then recalled another thing…

Horohoro instantly bowed down very low while Pirika was puzzled.

"I'm sorry. I'm very, very sorry. Gomen…" he muttered as his lips barely touched the floor.

"W-why? Oniichan?" Pirika asked quite troubled.

"Because I gave you away. I know that you're angry with me… that's why I'm begging for your forgiveness. I'm sorry. You know I am."

Pirika smiled sincerely and tapped her brother to sit up.

"I'm not angry at all." Pirika answered.

"You're not?"

"Yes… and you know why…because you're my brother. You're family… and you'll always have a special place in my heart." Pirika said with all sincerity.

Horohoro just couldn't believe what he just heard; he instantly pulled her sister to him again and embraced her as tightly as he could.

"I really missed you sis." He whispered against her hair.

"Me too… oniichan." Pirika answered.

They hugged each other for quite a while.

Pirika felt that unusual comforting and securing feeling again but still that didn't help her remember anything... especially her past.

"I'm so happy!" Horohoro declared blissfully as he held Pirika by the shoulders as Pirika just giggles, "I can't wait to tell this to everybody especially to Ren!"

Pirika eyes suddenly grew wide lifting her gaze up to her brother's eyes.

"Oniichan." Pirika blurted out.

"What?" Horohoro snapped.

"Where's Ren?" Pirika asked.

Horohoro then rolled his eyes and started to look gloomy. Pirika suddenly stood up and ran outside letting her feet take him to where Ren was. Though her burnt feet was still stinging a little she still continued her plight.

Fortunately her slightly injured feet led her to the right place… er… room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw him there… lying on the futon. He had many cuts, wounds, burns and bruises in his whole body and Pirika knows that Hao was behind all those.

"Ren!" Pirika shouted running up to him.

She then laid her head on him and started to cry, her tears seems to never run out.

"Why are you crying?" a voice suddenly asked making Pirika lift her head.

She instantly looked at Ren and when she saw him conscious and looking back at her she almost thought that it was a dream… Ren was alive!

Ren was sitting up as Pirika continued to stare at him, confirming to herself that it is not a dream she was witnessing… Ren is really alive!

When Ren had settled and smirked at Pirika the girl instantly threw her arms around Ren and started to cry once more, but this time she was letting out tears of joy rather than grief.

"Good thing you're fine… I thought you're a goner. I really thought that you'd leave me. I'm so happy." Pirika cried as her lips were curved into somewhat a smile.

Ren was quite pleased too in a subtle way. He then started to look at the girl from head to toe… as his heart was in bliss to know that she was in a good condition. But when his eyes noticed some bandages wrapped around Pirika's feet he then remembered Hao's attack on her… and recalling that Hao has a good aim.

"Your feet?" Ren muttered as Pirika let go.

Pirika glanced at her feet and back at Ren at once, smiling at him again.

"Don't worry I'm fine." Pirika said, though she knows that she had a really nasty burn back there.

But Ren knew better, aware of the truth behind her smile.

"Is this the life you want?" Ren asked, dark-faced.

"What?" Pirika asked starting to be bewildered by the Tao.

"The life I have to offer consists of pain, suffering and a lot of torment. Here and there I would be engaged in a fight endangering my life itself. Sometimes I even have to fight those who are very close to me. Tell me…" he then looked at Pirika's eyes once more, "do you want this kind of life?"

Pirika thought, her eyes showing that she was somehow shaken by what Ren said. Surely any girl would want the life she already has with the Hondas… it's almost perfect unlike what she was with these powerful shamans slash warriors.

However… though you may want to runaway from it…

You can never escape… your destiny…

For it will always run in your blood.

With that in her mind Pirika looked at Ren's golden eyes once more with confidence and courage.

"As long as I have my oniichan… and you… everything will be all right. I can face any challenge, any pain and any suffering for I know that you will always be there for me… and because of that I know that I'd never take back my decision… I want to be with you. Ren…" Pirika said.

Ren can't help to blush as he stares at this girl in front of her, this girl who he knew was the only woman fit to be his wife… and no other creature in this world can replace her… Pirika no matter what surname or clan is really one-of-a-kind.

"By the way… I hope you can forgive me." Pirika said before she totally forgets about it.

"Forgive you? For what?" Ren asked, almost stammering.

"I didn't even have the chance to protect you from that Hao… I'm so useless… so weak!" Pirika started to cry out.

Though Ren tried to stop her from blaming herself Pirika just wouldn't listen.

"Maybe this is why my oniichan gave me away… I'm useless… I can't even protect myself. I'm so stupid. I -"

Because she wasn't even listening to Ren as he hush her down Ren started to get irritated by her actions… she was going back to that stubborn little Ainu that he knew before… and because she just wouldn't shut her trap… he had to do the only thing left to do…

Ren forcibly placed his lips against hers, hushing her instantly. But even though she was already quiet Ren didn't let go… not just yet… for he thinks this is the perfect time to continue what he was planning in the old theatre… the only thing in his mind before Hao interrupted and ruined everything.

Pirika felt a surge of electricity up and own her spine as Ren slowly compels her mouth to open. Pirika closed her eyes… succumbing to his will. As Ren's tongue continued to probe around, Pirika slowly felt the strangest thing…

Though her eyes are closed she could still see in her mind some scenes… though she can't remember they seem to be very familiar… and so close in her heart.

--------

She could see herself watching as her brother, Chocolove and Ren were fighting in the Shaman Fight back in those days when they were still in Patch Village.

Then that scene changed into the field that she and her brother had sowed so hard as the Kororo and other koropokkurus were dancing happily with them.

Then it slowly faded away as another memory came to pass… this time she saw Yoh and the others, that's when they had their reunion and everyone they've met back during the Shaman Fight was with them once more… there she saw Ren Tao again…

That's when it all started,

There she learned that she really had feelings for Ren, though she was uncertain at first she was pretty determined to get the real deal.

Although she always shouts at Ren, tease him and always makes fun of him the truth of the matter is that she likes him and all those things she have done was for Ren notice her too.

Finally…

The last and final scene that flashed in her head was that night when she had come home very late… she came from the old theatre preparing everything. She was pretty determined to tell everything to Ren tonight… that's why she would even sacrifice sleeping just to wait for he roses to be delivered.

That night was also the same night when she learnt that the Chinese also liked her…

She could still remember like it was yesterday, it was like this but it was quick and more cautious… yet it was still… a kiss.

------

The kiss went on for a while until finally Ren let go panting a little.

"Don't you ever forget that… and don't think that you're weak because you're not." Ren started as if scolding her.

Pirika just blinked, still recalling everything that happened a few minutes ago, making her smile a bit.

"But…" Pirika tried to say but Ren cut her off again.

"Not buts! You called Yoh and the rest if it wasn't for you I'll be roasted meat. Those guys came right in time. You tried your best to get here at once though the rain was terrible and your feet really hurt. If that can't prove how strong you are nothing can!" he then gentle cupped her face as Pirika smiled, while blushing a bit.

"You're stronger than anyone think you are." He whispered as he planted a kiss on her forehead.

Pirika lifted her hands and laid it over the hand Ren was using to hold her face.

"I know Ren… and I'm so grateful that you think that of me. I know I'm strong… and it's because of you… you're my destiny." Pirika said while snuggling her head on his hand.

"You've changed a lot, ever since I could remember. Back then you were always stubborn, cold and snobbish. But now… I don't know how it happened but I'd like you even more this way. Strong yet with a hint of gentleness inside." Pirika explained.

Ren's eyes slowly grew wide; it's as if Pirika actually knew what he was back in the Shaman fight… meaning she could remember everything now! But since when?

"Pirika?" Ren asked. When Pirika looked into his eyes she knew at once what his question was and she was glad to answer it.

"I know you could help me remember and you did."

"How?" Ren can't help to ask, being quite baffled.

Pirika leaned closer to him and planted a quick kiss on his lower lip tickling his senses.

Ren then smirk.

"Really? By that?" Ren asked looking skeptic, even raising his brow.

Pirika chuckled and nod.

"Then how about I help you remember everything… up to the day you were born." Ren said with a teasing look on his face.

Pirika stood up, almost forgetting about her injured feet, and ran to the door as Ren followed her, forgetting his injuries too (can love be reason behind this?).

Pirika was about to slide it open but Ren stopped her and so she faced him, with a lot of giggles.

"I'm going to tell this to my oniichan." She teased.

"I don't care besides he won't be able to stop me anymore when we're already married." Ren said.

"Oh Ren! I do!" Pirika shouted throwing her arms around him.

"But I didn't propose yet?" he asked blinking, "and you still have to finish school."

"That's not a problem you could propose now if you want to and we could get married after I graduated. Just wait for me."

"I'll wait even if it takes forever." Ren seriously whispered as he looks deeply in her eyes while holding Pirika by the waist.

"You don't have to wait that long." Pirika answered.

The two slowly closed their eyes as their faces went closer and closer to each other…

It started in a kiss… and it will end the same way too…
