Chapter 6: We're in the dark
It was another busy day for the pink-haired student in the Asakura abode in Izumo. She already had finished cleaning and laundering some of her clothes leaving the rest of her day vacant again.
Tamao sighed, it has been what 2 or three weeks since Horohoro vanished.
He always comes there… to visit her, to sample a few of her new recipes and just to see her.
But now…
"Horo-kun… I do wonder what's wrong." Tamao asked, knowing no one would ever give her an answer.
She then picked herself up and started to walk thinking that some fresh air would brighten things up.
The warm sun pressed its rays on her cheeks, warming her.
The morning breeze always cheers her up, since it denotes another beautiful day.
"Tamao-chan!" a fox-spirit and raccoon-spirit called to her happily.
"Ohayou, Ponchi, Konchi." Tamao smiled as the two approached her.
"You have a visitor Tamao-chan." Ponchi said.
"One of Master Yoh's friend." Conchi added.
"Horohoro-kun!" Tamao gasped as she suddenly dashed past them and towards the door.
"Ah… you think we should tell her." Conchi asked Ponchi.
"Nah… better keep her hopes up." Ponchi answered.
u.u
Tamao hurriedly went around the corners sprinting pass Master Yohmei but when she does she went back again and bowed down to the old man.
"Ohayou Yohmei-sama. I heard that someone came to look for me?" Tamao asked.
"Yes… It's one of Yoh's friends…"
"Horo-kun!" Tamao said in delight.
But to her dismay the old man shook his head.
"I think this young man is called… Tao Ren."
"Ren? Demo… are you sure?" Tamao asked, thoroughly bewildered.
"I'm quite sure Tamao… you can see for yourself." Yohmei said gesturing to the door of a certain room.
"Arigatou Yohmei-sama. You can leave us now if you want." Tamao said bowing down.
As soon as Yohmei disappeared in a corner Tamao started to gaze upon the door.
Inhaling a quick breath she started to slide the door to open,
And to her disappointment… Master Yohmei was right.
"Ren… Tao?" Tamao asked, barely in a whisper.
Ren on the other hand noticed her coming and glanced at her at once.
"Tamao… " Ren called.
The two looked at each other for what seemed like a minute or so. Though saying nothing at all each one understood the pain and suffering each other was realizing.
Tamao then blinked, breaking the trance.
"Ren… why are you-?" Tamao started.
"You're the only person I know that can help me…"
"Help you with what?" Tamao asked.
"Has anyone ever told you how lovely you are?" Ren suddenly asked, out of the blue, gazing softly at her.
"Ren?" Tamao asked, thoroughly confused.
TTTTTTTT
Pirika's eyes were already red and puffy from crying and Horohoro doesn't know why.
"Pirika… where's Ren?" he asked.
However that seemed to be a wrong question since Pirika started to sob harder again.
Horohoro's feet were still in a cast and can barely walk without the help of a walking stick.
But still because he wanted so much to know what's wrong he tried to walk a bit and fetch the piece of paper lying on the floor.
Horohoro then scanned what was written in it… and frowned.
"Um… Pirika… I'm so sorry…" Horohoro muttered.
Pirika looked up at him with her puffy eyes.
"Oniichan… you could read Mandarin?" Pirika asked, still crying a bit.
"Um… no… actually I didn't understand a word written here…" Horohoro admitted.
Pirika gave a little chuckle, her tears scattering in the air like tiny droplets.
"Well oniichan… all he said was that he won't be back for a while."
"But why are you crying like that?"
"Because I'll… I'll really miss… him…"
And with that Pirika didn't dared hold back her emotions any longer and released all her tears.
Horohoro though confused did lend her a shoulder to cry on… like he always does.
Horohoro can't help to stare at the piece of crumpled paper with weird writings on it.
He was still wondering what it says…
Pirika,
As soon as you read this letter I'm already miles away from home… maybe I'm in another country by now. I don't really now where to go… but still I have a reason to…
I want you and you're brother to think among yourselves… I won't be a burden for you…
You know why… simply because I love you… and that's the reason why I'm giving you a chance to decide on yourself.
Whatever your decision maybe… I'm always behind you… and I'll always, always love you.
Please wait for my return,
Tao Ren
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Okay I know that letters crappy but that's just because… well my midterm is approaching… yet still I want you to see the conclusion at once and so I'm sitting in the corner of this computer shop and typing this fic.
Hope I didn't wasted my time… hope you'll like it!
Thanks!
Please review.
