Chapter 22: So We Meet Again
Mouko search high and low for one person in particular. He traveled non-stop without rest. "I may have my sense of smell back but what good is it if I don't know how she smells like!" He paused for a bit and tried to clam down. He closed his eyes and listened to see where he should go next. He heard singing in the distance. Who ever it was had a lovely voice. He opened his eyes and head toward the source. He crept up in the bushes and crouched to be concealed. The singing stopped but then he heard talking. He slowly moved the bushes to see Shida floating in mid air, talking to the near by animals. What got him the most was that she was sad. He usually saw her happy. He thought for a bit and how he should ask her without her getting suspicious. If that didn't work, there were always his eyes but he need her to look into them long enough. He sighed. He just continued to watch her until she stopped from what she was doing and sat there in mid air. She sighed and started to think out loud.
"When will everything be all right and I can be happy again? I want everything to end so I can be back in the arms of my loved one. When will this day come?"
"So she has a someone too? I would never have thought of that she was sad all this time and was hiding it behind a mere smile." He crept forward more and listened to her more.
"Please come back to me. Please realize it's me and not her."
"Who is she talking about?" He sat there but he felt a sneeze coming on. "No, not now!!!" He tried to hold it back but… "Achoo!"
Shida looked up. "Who goes there?!" She snapped her fingers and Mouko floated from his hiding spot. She stopped. "He was here all this time? Why didn't I sensed him?"
"Hey, can you please put me down?! I didn't do nothing!"
Her heart lept for him but she couldn't allow him to see it so she snapped her fingers again and he instantly dropped to the ground. She wished she didn't have to do that.
"You didn't have to drop me like that." He got up and dusted himself off.
"Sorry. What brings you here? Many thought you were dead."
"Well, I'm not. I am in search for a certain person and I ended up being here."
"I said she is not the one."
"Who said I was searching for her?"
"Well, I thought you would be searching for her right now."
"In a way yes but not right now. Why would you like to know, anyways?"
"To prevent you from suffering more."
"Me? How about you prevent yourself from suffering. I heard you talk about that someone. I say you ditch him if he is causing you too much trouble."
"You don't understand the situation, Mouko.
"What is there to understand? A man is not giving you the attention you deserve."
"Mouko, I wish I could tell you but I can't. You'll regret it if I do."
"Tell me what? What is it that you can't tell me and why?"
"Because I just can't." An uneasy silence passed between them. A shadowed figure watched them talk. "This meeting is going to slow. He needs a reminder why is he there. He snapped his fingers and a neko youkai appeared next to him. "Stay here and watch them. They should be expecting a little company very shortly. Make sure he gets hurt. The neko youkai nodded as he growled in response. The shadow figure disappeared.
