Chapter 3: First Life 3

It was exactly four days since Kahiya was carried in to heal, and now she felt her strength completely restored. She made up her mind, she was going to leave.

Hao was on another trip to see another king, who was asking him about what to do about his kingdom. 'Hn, he's a king he should know what to do instead of ask of my help. He might as well let me take over his kingdom. But there are some very strong shamans there, I might return to ask them if they would like to join me.'

His thoughts turn back to a certain brown-eyed girl. Just as they arrived back at his palace

Kahiya was waiting for him at the entrance like a proper lady should. Hao smiled as he stepped out, "it was very nice of you to wait for me, Lady Kahiya, I did not expect you too." Kahiya raised an eyebrow, "Actually I wouldn't have but all the servants were so nice to me, and they were urging to wait here for you so I couldn't refuse." Hao smirked, "It is also almost lunch, shall we go?"

He offered his hand, Kahiya hesitantly extended a slender hand and gently laid it on top, and the duo went back inside.

They ate lunch in silence with only the sounds of Dragon chomping nosily on his latest kill outside. Hao couldn't read the girl's mind, it would rude of him, besides even if he wanted to, reading the girl's mind was like trying to crash through a wall, it seems he wasn't the only one who had mental abilities.

Kahiya felt nervous for some reason, why couldn't she tell him. She looked over to where Hao was sitting and watched him. She could tell that he was disturbed by the silence, and decided to tell him.

"Eto…." They both started, Hao chuckled bringing a small smile to Kahiya's lips. "You first." Kahiya suddenly felt more nervous than she ever had before, all her braveness was gone.

"Eto …….umm I don't know how to say this but you have been really nice to me, and I really thank you for saving me….but………….."

The small smile suddenly vanished from Hao's face, but it quickly replaced by a questioning look.

"But?"

"But I don't think I belong here,"

Kahiya looked down to the floor.

"I just have that feeling, that something is missing and that's what I'm trying to find, besides I don't have a family or a home, and this." She gave a small gesture. "Just doesn't suit me. I'm really sorry Hao-san, but I cannot stay here." She lowered her eyes and looked at the floor.

A gentle hand touched her chin and lifted it to meet Hao's face. His warm eyes and gentle smile did nothing to her feeling. "Kahiya, its not your fault, you don't have to be sorry. It is not my place to make you stay. You can go." She returned the smile weakly and clasped her hands around his.

"Gomen ne, Hao-san."

She walked out of the room missing the look of sadness in Hao's eyes.

In the garden

Kahiya leaned against a tree feeling the soft breeze caress her face. Dragon lay in coils next to her while Phoenix rested on the tree's branches. She stroked Dragon's mane, "Have I done the right thing?" she asked. Dragon opened one of his eyes lazily/I don't know ask that yourself, I never understand women not even Phoenix./ Phoenix fluttered down from her spot and playfully raked a claw through his mane. /Hey/that teaches u to insult me/ Phoenix tutted.

(Later on)

The sun was setting and Kahiya finally manage to wrench herself from her sitting place from beneath the tree to go to her room. Dragon started to follow her only to be stopped once again by Phoenix. /Now what/ he growled. / I have a feeling something might happen tonight./ Phoenix replied. This was one of Phoenix's mental ability, she has the ability to sense something in the future, but she couldn't say what it was or when.

She perched herself down onto one of the tree's big branches again, feeling the sun's heat leaving her, she felt the tree talk to her. She was the goddess of the sun and protector of the earth, the last of her kind. She spoke back to the tree telling it that when she dies and rises again, she would no longer be protector or the goddess, she will be a normal phoenix unable to have to ability to sense the future nor to speak the sun, she would only be able to sing, telling the sun who she once was, and cannot be anymore. It pays to be with another mortal, even a special one with another, who is different from all the rest. A Phoenix is the female counterpart of a Dragon yet she cannot bear a child with him because of who she is, all she can do is to stay with him and Kahiya for eternity.

Dragon eased down and settled himself again into a coil listening to a river far away trinkling, calling to him, he felt the wind playfully grasping his mane and letting it blow about wildly. He was a wind and water creature who always longed to be in the water from where he came from, but he knew that he came from Kahiya and so did not belong to any water areas, he was always welcome by the waters no matter where he was. The wind was always there to play with him whenever he was bored, to soar high into the sky in his spare time. He was in love with the goddess and so he will stay with her and Kahiya for eternity.

Kahiya finished packing, it didn't take her long, she only packed two clean kimonos and a small ration of food that would only supply her if she needed it badly, but that wouldn't be a problem all villages were about 20 miles apart from each other, she and her companions can get there in no time. Her thoughts drifted back to Hao. It felt right to leave him, and yet it felt wrong at the same time.

Why must fate choose her to have a difficult life?

She quietly left the room walking towards Hao's room.

As she stopped outside his door, again she felt the same fluttering sensation she had in her stomach when she walked with him in the garden for the first time. "Hao-san?" she called softly. "Are you in there?" "Hai. Come in." his quiet voice replied. She swallowed feeling her heart beating faster and faster. She mentally slap herself, why was she feeling so nervous?

She slid the door open and entered closing the door behind her. Hao was sitting next to his bed meditating quietly. "I…..uh…….came…to er….. say I'm leaving………" He opened his eyes to look at the woman who he came to be close to in four days.

"Gomen ne Hao-san, I really should have left earlier so it wouldn't be so hard for everyone." Kahiya said, her voice barely a whisper, her voice no longer loud and clear. He smiled again, that gentle smile, the one that made her feel a lot better when she was down. "Dai jo bu, Kahiya-san, as I said its not your fault. Its just……" his voice dropped into a whisper. "I have gotten to………….." Kahiya came closer and kneeled beside him, "Nani? Hao-sama?" He looked up,

"Nothing."

Kahiya started to get up from her kneeling place, when Hao's hand suddenly shot out and caught hers.

"I don't want you to go. I've gotten so close to you." Hao said.

Kahiya felt her heart stop at these words.

Hao wanted her to stay.

With him.

He didn't want her to go.

He wanted her.

To stay.

Hao pulled her down making her lose balance and pulled her into a tight embrace. "Kahiya, I don't want you to go." Hao repeated, pulling her closer and closer to him. He let her go abit and tilted her chin up. "I want you to stay here with me. Kahiya, I love you." Kahiya's breath got caught in her throat as Hao's face came nearer and nearer, she closed her eyes as he kissed her over and over again.

The night proceeded onwards.
