ACT 2-Onegai
Konoka was lonely. Just a day before, she asked her father to play with her. But her father Konoe Eishun, explained to her nicely that he is busy and asked her to play with herself. Konoka couldn't really tell him that she wants someone to talk and play with.
That night, she looked at the stars in the sky outside her bed window. She pray hard and whispered to herself "I wish for a friend."
Today, Konoka took out a toy ball and started to bounce it around the main garden. She started to sing a song that her late mother used to sing to her when she was still around.
Then it happened.
She saw four people walked into the main garden. Three female and a male. All of them were wearing traditional clothing.
She doesn't recognize them but quickly looked at the youngest girl that was in the group.
She is about the same height as her and she looked cute in traditional clothing.
The girl looked at Konoka and Konoka looked back at her. Konoka believed that her wish really came true and immediately ran forward to the girl.
The girl quickly hid behind the older girl's skirt and shyly looked at Konoka.
Konoka smiled "Hello, my name is Konoka. What's your name?"
The girl spoke " Sets..Setsuna.."
"What a nice name! Want to play with me?" Konoka asked Setsuna.
Setsuna looked at Motoko and Tsuruko with an innocent query.
"Go ahead, Setsuna." Tsuruko told Setsuna.
Motoko whispered to Setsuna " Be nice to Konoka Ojou sama."
Setsuna approached Konoka and she smile at her. Konoka smiled back and took Setsuna by the hand.
Setsuna felt embarrassed but happy. She has never met any kids around her age and never knows what is fun other than training. Motoko and Tsuruko tried to play with her once a while but all she wished for is someone closer to her age.
Konoka took her toy ball and gently threw it to Setsuna.
"Here! Catch! Se-Chan!" Konoka shouted.
Setsuna caught hold the ball and felt happy.
She threw the ball back to Konoka. "Catch it, Konoka Ojou-sama!"
Konoka took it and smile "Don't call me Ojou-san. Just Konoka will do."
Setsuna couldn't understand why Konoka doesn't want to be called Ojou-sama and was wondering in her mind.
"Here is the ball!" Konoka threw the ball back at Setsuna.
She caught hold the ball again and smiled at Konoka. "I got the ball, Konoka Ojou-sama!"
Konoka was a bit annoyed but still smile. "No Ojou-sama, Se-Chan!"
Both girls never bothered about names and continued playing. Motoko, Tsuruko and Kenji looked at them and were glad that Setsuna was enjoying herself with someone her age.
Motoko told Tsuruko "They looked like Sisters, Nechan!"
"Yes...Setsuna should be with kids this age." Tsuruko agreed.
A maid approached the three Shin Mei Ryu masters and bowed to them.
" My Master is ready to see you. Please, this way." The maid spoke.
The maid led the way for the three people and entered into the main hall. The hall was big and the flooring was shiny clean. The three masters sat down on the cushions in front of them and wait.
A figure appeared in front of a closed curtain and out, a tall bespectacled man wearing a white priest attire.
The three masters bowed down in respect and greeted "Morning, Konoe Sama."
Eishun greeted the three masters "Welcome, Masters of Shin Mei Ryu."
He then sat in front on a red cushion mat and looked at them.
"Why have you asked us to come here today, Konoe Sama?" Tsuruko asked Eishun.
Eishun looked at them with the utmost seriousness and spoke " I have two assignments for the Shin Mei Ryu Masters. Firstly, there is a disturbance in a village at the East Side of Kyoto near the mountains. The village head is an old friend of mine. He requested for my help. So Kenji and Tsuruko, you will accompany me on this trip."
"What kind of disturbance, Konoe Sama?" Kenji enquired.
"It has something to do with their ancestors' shrine. Some kind of unknown energy making the villagers uneasy." Eishun replied.
Kenji answered " We will prepare the necessary for this trip."
"All right. I am counting on you." Eishun acknowledged to Kenji.
Tsuruko then asked, "What is the second assignment?"
Eishun let go a small smile and adjusted his glasses "As you all know, my wife has passed away a year already and I have been busy as the Head of Kansai Magic Association. It leaves me very little time with my daughter, Konoka. She has been very understanding but she need some companions...friends, to be with her when I am not around."
He looked at Tsuruko "Tsuruko San, I know that Setsuna is about the same age as Konoka. Do you think you could let Setsuna stay here with Konoka for a few days till we return? Of course, we will need a guardian to look after them."
Eishun then looked at Motoko "Motoko San. I need you to keep an eye on them till we get back."
Motoko wondered why Konoe Sama needs them?
She queried "Pardon me, Konoe Sama. But why do you need us to look after Konoka Ojou-sama? You have a lot of people around here...what's the problem of taking care of one little girl that requires our services?"
Tsuruko was annoyed by Motoko's little rudeness "Motoko! Don't be rude to Konoe Sama!"
Eishun smiled and replied "It's okay, Tsuruko San...I know that she will ask this question but I apologize. For this moment, you have to accept this assignment, Motoko San. I will explain everything when I get back."
Motoko swallowed her pride and reluctantly accept it "I...I accept the assignment."
Eishun was relieved that Motoko accepted it and told her "Of course, you don't have to behave like a bodyguard to them, Motoko San. Just be yourself but be more aware when you are with them."
Motoko answered back "Yes, Konoe Sama."
"All right. We'll leave for the trip in two days. We meet here again for the departure." Eishun stood up and the others follow suit. Konoe walked out to the main garden and saw two little girls playing around.
He questioned Tsuruko "So that's Setsuna?"
Tsuruko answered "Yes, Konoe Sama."
" It has been six years already...does she know anything about her past?" Eishun wondered to Tsuruko.
" No...but she will know it one day." Tsuruko spoke softly.
Tsuruko felt a bit sad and she is hiding something from Setsuna. Something that Setsuna will find out. Sooner or Later.
The toy ball went near the steps where the adults are. Konoka looked up and saw her father.
"Otou-Sama!"
Eishun opened both arms, welcoming his daughter into his open arms and she ran towards him. He hugs Konoka and showed love and affection to his only daughter. He lifts her up and smiled at Konoka.
Eishun asked "So Konoka, do you like Setsuna?"
Konoka was smiling with joy!
Konoka answered happily "Yes! I like Se-Chan!"
Eishun smiled "Would you like Setsuna to stay here for the next few days?"
Konoka's eyes went bright!
" Really, Otou-Sama?" Konoka was very excited!
"Really." Eishun smiled.
"Thank you, Otou-Sama! Se-Chan! You are going like staying here!" Setsuna looked at Tsuruko with a doubt.
Tsuruko smiled and replied "Would you like to stay here for a few days? Motoko will be staying here too."
Setsuna thinks for a second and "Okay..."
"Yeah! Se-Chan is staying! We are going to have a lot of fun!" Konoka was cheering away in front of Setsuna.
" Then it's settled. We'll prepare for the next trip and be back here on Tuesday." Tsuruko bowed to Eishun and the others followed suit.
Eishun bowed back " See you on Tuesday. Say goodbye to the nice people, Konoka!"
Konoka happily waved to them "Sayonara, Everybody! See you again, Se-Chan!"
Setsuna bowed to Konoka "See you again, Konoka Ojou Sama!"
Hearing Ojou Sama from Setsuna, Konoka told off her "I told you "No Ojou Sama!"
The rest of them laughed and then the Shin Mei Ryu Masters left the Konoe Mansion.
Monday night, in the Aoyama Residence, Setsuna is preparing her clothing into a small bag and humming a tune she used to hear from Motoko then Tsuruko came into the room.
"Tsuruko Nee-Chan!" Setsuna greeted her.
Tsuruko sat beside her and looked at Setsuna putting her last skirt in the bag.
" Have you prepared everything?" Tsuruko asked.
"Yes." Setsuna spoke softly.
Tsuruko noticed that she has some doubts. "Is something wrong, Setsuna?"
Setsuna innocently asked, "I wonder why Konoe Sama wants me to stay with Konoka Ojou Sama? Do you know anything, Tsuruko Nee Chan?"
Tsuruko gave a gentle stroke on Setsuna's hair and smiled "Listen, Setsuna. No matter what happen, you must take care of Konoka Ojou Sama. If something happen, you must protect her."
"Because she is my friend?" Setsuna answered.
Tsuruko was happy at her answer "Yes. She is your friend. Friends should help one other, right?"
"Right!" Setsuna smiled and Tsuruko hug her warmly in her arms.
"Go and get some sleep. We are leaving tomorrow. You don't want to look tired in front of Konoka Ojou Sama, Right?"
"Okay. Good night, Tsuruko Nee-Chan." Setsuna replied.
Tsuruko left the room and walked along the corridor then she saw Motoko walking towards her room.
"Motoko!" Motoko reacted to her calling and saw her sister walking towards her.
"NeeChan..."
Tsuruko approached her "Motoko...take care of Setsuna and Konoka Ojou Sama. I suspected that Konoe Sama is not telling us something."
"I agreed, Nee Chan. But don't worry, I will take care of the two girls till you get back."
"I hope so too." Motoko opened her room door...
"Good Night, Nee Chan."
"Good Night, Motoko." and after Tsuruko retired to her own room.
The next day, the Shin Mei Ryu Masters arrived back at Konoe Mansion. Eishun stood together with Konoka and she immediately run towards Setsuna the moment she saw her.
"Se-Chan, Let's go to my room! You'll like it there!" Konoka took Setsuna by the hand and happily entered the main hall.
Motoko bowed to Eishun " I will take care of the girls, Konoe Sama."
"Hmm...I leave it to you, Motoko San. If you need anything, my assistant, Yukari will assist you."
"Assistant?"
A priestess all dressed in white and black approached Eishun from behind. Her short jet black hair was fine and shiny with a red ribbon tied behind her hair.
She bowed to everyone and spoke, "My name is Hino Yukari. Pleased to meet you."
Motoko bowed back to Yukari, "I am Aoyama Motoko. Pleased to meet you."
"Then we shall make our move. Come with me, Kenji San, Tsuruko San." Eishun spoke and the three of them then left the mansion and begin their journey.
"Take care, Nechan..."
Yukari stood by, watching them and mumbling something "...finally they left..."
" Do you say something?" Motoko asked her.
"Huh? No, Motoko Sama." Yukari replied.
Motoko ignored her and went in to look for the girls...
TO BE CONTINUED...
Author's notes: Finally the second chapter completed...as some of you might not know. Shin Mei Ryu has a history with Kansai Magic Association. Basically they are bodyguard for Kansai Magic Association. That makes them something like Master and Servant role. For Konoka, she is called Ojou sama or Mistress. This is a form of courtesy with someone of higher status, like Konoe Sama. Why this chapter is called Onegai? Onegai means Please in Japanese. As you read eariler, it is all about asking someone something, like Konoka asking for a friend, Eisyun asking the Aoyama Sisters and Tsuruko asking Motoko n Setsuna taking care of Konoka...So what is going to happen next? What will Konoka and Setsuna be doing for the next few days? Is something going to happen to them? Why Eishun is not telling something? Is Yukari a...? That will be in the next chapter:) See you then!
