I probably won't have time to update everynight so...this is just a coincidence that I am so far. > T-T
Chapter 4. Kamatari's Admonition
"Soujirou-san!" Honjou called out through the rowdy crowds.
"Soujirou?" Soujirou looked at him, "Who is…"
"You're still here!" Honjou excited, seeing his comrade, "I thought you have left Kyoto."
"Who…are you?" Soujirou asked.
"Nani?" Honjou's overjoyed expression faded, "Who am I? No…how could you-…Are you so low and ashamed of us, that you act as though you don't know me!" he shouted with anger.
"Shizuka kudasai…s-sir." Kikari stepped forward, "Do you really know this person?"
Honjou glared at the opposite sex, "Who is she…Why is she with you Soujirou-san?"
"Please sir, "Kikari interrupted again, "He doesn't remember anything as of yesterday. He has forgotten everything, even his name."
"You are lying!" he hissed.
"Believe it or not, but…your Soujirou, has gone. It may take a few days or weeks, for him to remember."
Honjou turned to Soujirou for further evidence, "Soujirou-san, you know nothing of me?"
"…I can't. I can't remember." He depressingly said. Soujirou shut his eyes tightly and flexed his jaw, "I don't want to."
"What…? Why not? Do you want to forget about us, about Shishio-sama?"
"Don't be too harsh on him, doesn't know anyone." Kikari said.
Honjou narrowed his eyes at her, "You keep your place miss, don't interrupt me."
"But-…Soujirou…is confused now, he knows no better than you."...
The name Soujirou sounded too familiar to him. The name had been used in the most pitiful sentences. "Soujirou…" he repeated the name. Was it really his name? It was known for something, but he didn't know what. Soujirou…Soujirou was a boy, a young boy who's finding something, somewhere, someone…Soujirou. He's…"Soujirou……is me."
"S-Soujirou…" Kikari bashfully came into the room. It was small room, but much well enough considering that the owner donated it to them for the next few nights.
He slightly turned his head towards her, but without facing each other, "Don't…please don't call me that."
Kikari felt terrible, the day had been long and hard for the two of them, "I've brought, some dinner for us." She set down two food tray and rice bowls, "Douzo."
"I don't have much of an appetite now." He said, "Gomen."
"Ano…Whenever you're hungry then." She quietly sat down and picked up the bowl of rice. Honestly, Kikari was not that hungry either. She hadn't eaten for a day and half, but the events of today ran through her head like a broken record. Soujirou…Why do you have to be Seta Soujirou? She tightly held onto her chopsticks and swallowed. You were well off being Futami, why?
"Kikari-san…Why are sad?" he suddenly asked. He knew how she felt, he sensed her emotion.
She forced her lips to curve upward, "I'm not S-…Futami. Deha, the day has just been too overwhelming for me, that's all."
"Sou desu ka…Jaa, a good night's rest should help then, ne?" he smiled at her.
"Of course it would." She started consuming her meal, Of course…
"But-…Soujirou…is confused now, he knows no better than you."
Honjou pursed his lips to pause moment, "Tell me…"
"My name,Hyashida Kikari desu."
"Hm, Tell me Hyashida-san…How well do you know Soujirou-san?"
"I...I know him, as well as he knows himself now."
Honjou leaned forward to whisper, "Let me tell you something about Soujirou-san…Soujirou-san would never betray us. He his Seta Soujirou of the Jupongatana… He is the Tenken, and when he remembers all of himself, he'll leave you; there would be no point of your care and affection. So don't bother Kikari-san." Honjou stood upright again, " And I, I am Kamatari Honjou, the scythe. And I am telling you to stop wasting your breath, time, and energy on Soujirou-san. Your efforts won't be as appreciated as you'd like to think." Honjou faced the day dreaming Soujirou and smirked, "Soujirou-san, when you realize who you are, come find me."
He is Seta Soujirou the Tenken of the jupongatana, one of the ten swords leading Makoto Shishio's revolution. He has made bloodshed among innocent people, and he has done shoddily things to mankind.
But…
But I don't want him to be Soujirou…I want him to be Futami. They are the same people…But if he begins a new life, he won't have to go back to those things…ne?
The moonlight shone through the screen doors. She turned her head to see Soujirou fairly smiling while in his sleep. Handsome, strong, and kind. I won't ever find someone like you…ever…
"Kikari-chan?" Soujirou called. Chan? Was this a dream of some sort…? He called to her so lovingly…Why did he?
"Ui?"
"…I can't sleep…"
"Sou ka…Why not?"
"I've been thinking too much." Soujirou opened his deep blue eyes as clear as day, and frowned, "If I remember everything again…Are you going to leave me…?"
