Seductive Whispers Chapter -Six The Wise Snake
The morning breeze swirled around the clearing sky. The morning sunrise brightened through the window, and the gray haired young, opened his elegant tiring eyes. Yuki sighed heavenly as he shifted his body to take a good look of his room. He put up a small smile... The place seemed so warm... the rising sunlight reflected so much elegance in the room, that it reminded him on why exactly he changed his room...
Yes. he had a reason... more like an inspiration... by her...
The gray rat had opened an entrance to his room, with the little onirigi behind him. It had been a few months over the spring since Tohru had moved in with the Sohmas. Now, it's their first day on Tutorial. Tohru needed help from some of her classes. since she's struggling through. Yuki had gratefully and generously offered to give Tutorial lessons, by him...
" Oh Yuki, is it not bothering you at all? "
" Bothering what, Miss Honda... ? "
" About tutorial? "
" Oh, no, absolutely not... "
" Well... I-I ddo-n't know... "
" I'm sure it's fine, It's not a bother at all... please; I'm sure of it. "
The little onirigi tilted her head, and smiled at the boy... although her eyes missed, her attention had caught out his balcony. She Stood up slowly, eying the little pink petal, flowing through flawlessly, and light as a feather, beautiful as herself. She held her finger and touched the petal, and blew gently on it, to keep it from falling... the gray head boy watched from behind... his mind in bliss...
Was it a dream... ?
He came closer the cheerful onirigi, and looked at the side of her face, focused on the petal, twirling her hand gently, while it danced with the spring air...
" Beautiful, is it not? " Tohru asked in a delight tone, and face Yuki. She pointed out the backyard, seeing the rows and rows of growing sakura trees... Yuki raised his head, walked over the edge of the balcony, placed his hand to his chin, while his elbow supported on the balcony... he was dazed...
" Just like... " Yuki wondered...
" Hmm... I love sakura trees... " Tohru began. " My mother used to bring home a piece of it, and told me :
" Sakura, so filled with light, It intends to change a person's heart... You are the wind, which keeps it soaring higher, never to be fallen... while the petal, is the person whom you choose to love... "
She fell silent, still staring at those vibrant eyes, lifting the petal, her eyes in a trance. While the gray haired rat, was struck speechless...
" So, I guess what she meant...there is a special someone... " She continued. " My reason for being alive. I hope I can find it soon... " She closed her eyes, as she captured the petal other palm, carefully closing it to her heart...Yuki had his violet eyes on the girl, smiling delicately... he was amazed on what he had just realized... he had realized, that Tohru was the wind, and he was her petal...
And that was the first... He fell in love...
Yuki opened his eyes once again he smiled to himself as he slowly sat up. He rubbed his eyes, and blinked a couple of times, to have a clear view. He took a good look at his room, gasping his breath...
Sakura... Sakura... Sakura Trees all over... her inspiration to him was.. well, he couldn't explain, but his heart would. After his little talk with Tohru about the petals, Yuki had changed quite... he began to shift his room some more, to make it look vibrant and warm... He also started painting, and surprisingly, he didn't know how to paint, yet of course, he was very talented, his paintings reflected so... he added a new hobby... painting. For the past year and a half, all he could do on his free time was to paint... for most of his collections, a painting of a Sakura petal, and wind dancing around, to keep the petal rising... it was also one of his collection's most best.
He walked and looked over the balcony...gazing at the full bloomed Sakura Trees...
Miss Honda...
Yuki, who was fully dressed and yet still feeling quite tired, had proceeded down stairs into the living, off to Kitchen, where the scent of the morning breakfast drew near. He knocked at the wall lightly, to see if Tohru's presence was still...
" Oh, Good morning Yuki-kun, " Tohru replied happily. Yuki smiled weakly and looked around... no one...
" Miss Honda, do you mind telling me where are Shigure and Kyo? " Yuki asked.
" Oh! I'm sorry! Shigure had to meet up with a signing at the bookstore from his new book, and Kyo's said that he's at the dojo, but he won't be there for too long... " Tohru replied kindly. Se was placing the platter of eggs into the middle of the table, Yuki carried the bowl of rice. He was heading back to the kitchen to bring food back to the table, when he spotted Tohru struggling on her apron... she seem to have trouble untying the ribbon in the back, since she couldn't look at her back... she looked up and smiled weakly at him.
" Yuki, could you please...?" Tohru questioned, with a slight embarrassment. The rat didn't mind though, he was always happy to help... well, just for her...
" Of course... " Yuki replied. He went over to Tohru's back, pleased himself as he noticed Tohru's wonderful scent... He gazed over her back... and beginning to untie the complicated looking knot... Tohru, however remained silent, her hands clasped down, her head down also. Yuki smiled to his accomplishment, alas, the knot was free... oddly, Yuki was some sort of a trance... let's just say that... he couldn't help it... he held his hand slowly, eyeing her delicate skin, and heading towards the most sensitive part of her neck, not to tickle, but the part where it tingles instead...
His finger traced through her neck, Tohru, who did not do anything, blushed hard... and if Yuki wasn't mistaken, she had let out a soft seductive moan... and she too, couldn't help it ...
They do not know, that from the kitchen entrance... a pair of light green eyes, eyeing their every move...
The person gasped quietly, and grinned as he turned away, unnoticed...
" Oh AYA! I'm hurt! "
" Oh, I'm kidding! "
" You've been gone for ssoo long!.. "
" Speaking of long, you haven't been cheating on me while I was gone... have you? "
The dog shook his head.
The snake smiled broadly.
" ALRIGHT! " They both cheered.
" WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? "
" Kyo-kyo's back... oh no.. "
" Shut up, or I'LL THROW YOU OUT! "
" Kyo! How wonderful to see you? How's Kagura? "
" SHUT THE HELL UP OR I'LL THROW BOTH OF YOU OUT! "
" Shut up, stupid cat... why early this morning? "
" THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO, YOU DAMN RAT! "
Tohru was near in the middle, giggling a bit, and sweat dropped. Ayame-san had visited them once again, as Shigure said... this time, he had brought in more tropical fruits... last year, he bought in peaches and crab, both the things that Yuki had love to eat... wen he was young...He was wearing his casual fashion skins, long-sleeved of course, because he is the type who gets sun burned quite easily...
" Tohru-san! would you mind bringing me some tea? "
" Aya... "
" What? don't worry Nii-san, I'll be good, "
" Oh, Aya, tell us why you came long to this journey to visit? "
" Oh, Gure! I have come from afar, to discuss with all my heart, to my Nii-san "
" Which is...? "
" Our brotherly bond of course! "
" I'm leaving "
" And I'm coming with you...! "
" What for? "
" It's important... really! "
The rat did not speak, he was looking quite irritated... he slowly nodded, and started walking out again, Aya tailing along with him...
" Ssoo... How's school, little brother? "
Yuki didn't reply.
" Anything you want to tell me...? "
" Nothing..."
" Really? "
" Yes. "
" Are you sure? "
" Yes, and I mean yes! "
" Not even about..." Aya paused. " About Tohru-kun? "
Yuki stopped... his eyes widened, but never faced him, he was nervous a bit... It's not his everyday brother who would actually talk like this... well, not in a serious tone ... yet Aya seemed very serious... Even more serious when Yuki looked at him... He wasn't being funny any longer... this was a good sign if you want to talk about something... important...
" Aya, I... "
" It's alright little brother, you can trust me... " Aya interrupted Yuki, as he walked into the e little boy, who wassitting on a tall rock, looking a bit helpless... he reached Yuki's back, comforting him...
" I can't help it... " Yuki answered.
" How do you feel? "
" It's... I mean... I want to tell her... but... "
" But what? "
" What would she say? and him ... "
" And when you mean by him, you meant Akito? or Kyo? "
The rat was silenced.
" Either Akito erases her memories of you, or Tohru's heart will be stolen by Kyo-kyo? "
" B-oth-th " Yuki Stuttered.
The snake sighed... he smiled weakly at his brother, looking helpless, needing an answer... and by Yuki's expression, it almost seemed like he wants his brother's need... in occasions like this, It was pretty rare... for the two of them...
" Well, my dear... " Aya started " Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. "
" What? "
" You've fallen in love with her, is it not? " Aya questioned, Yuki nodded.
" Its no herdear little Yuki, " Aya stated. " It's you. "
" And what is that suppose to mean? "
" You're too slow, of course! " Aya faced. " It's better to tell, than love nothing... " Yuki, unfortunately, still looked confused.
" If you don't tell her, you won't have anything... don't worry about Akito or Kyo-kyo... they will fade... eventually...unless your love for her will neverfade first. Unless you've open your heart,then it will neverfade at all"
This was the last he heard of Aya, he left quietly without a sound, for the first time not saying 'Good-Bye', 'Fare-well'or 'Sayonora'Yuki, who did not notice, stayed at the rock, and turned... finally realizing that he had gone... he just vanished... However, Yuki did not care were the snake had run off to... his mind was a bliss... thinking deeply.
He picked up a small Sakura petal... with its shape and health still well, gently placing it to his palm... he closed his eyes... taking a deep solitary breath...
" ... your love for her will never fade first. "
...What had he mean by 'fade first'?
... And 'never fade at all'?
Yuki widened his eyes in realization...
There was a choice... about love...?
