Suboshi's Song
"Yui-sama!" Yui turned around to see the little girl from earlier.
"Hello," replied Yui. "What is your name?" Megumi slapped her forehead.
"I'm so dumb! My name is Megumi Kosaki," she told Yui. "And I just wanted to thank you for bringing me here again. And I'm glad that you could trust me when you partly told me what had happened. I promise that I won't tell anyone." On Megumi's face was a look of complete seriousness. "I am in debt to you and I never break my promises." Yui looked startled for a moment. But she put her hand on Megumi's head and said, "Thank-you." Megumi began to smile.
"Yui-sama," began Megumi, skipping beside her idol, "if I can, I want to help in any way that I can. Even if I sacrifice myself." The serious look returned. "Don't hesitate if you want me to do something. I have a red belt in tae kwon do and I can cook too. I'm also a good actor if you need me to spy." She looked Yui in the eye. "I am entirely serious. Feel no guilt if you do." Megumi smiled. "You're my idol, Yui-sama!"
"You don't have to call me Yui-sama. Please call me Yui or Yui-chan." As she said the last word, she remembered how another childish young girl had always called her that.
"Okay, Yui-chan." Megumi stopped. She turned around and began running. As she ran she yelled, "Bye!" She kept looking back until she could no longer see Yui. She turned her head forward just in time to see a boy holding sheets and pillows. Megumi tried to stop, but failed.
"Ow!" The boy's hand immediately flew to his head. Megumi noticed that he looked barely over sixteen. His items that he had been darrying were messy and everywhere.
"Watch it!" the boy barked. He straightened his hair band that covered his lightbrown hair. His hair was a couple inches longer than Yui's. He wore a short sleeved shirt and pants which were both made looking Chinese.
"I'm sorry!" Megumi began to pick up his sheets.
"Hey," began the boy, "you're just a child! What are you doing in the palace?"
"Yui-chan and Nakago-sama brought me here," Megumi replied matter-of factly. He looked shocked. 'Did that child just say Yui-sama's name?' As Megumi picked up more things, she noticed a flute nearby. She picked it up and put it with everything else that she had picked up.
"My name is Megumi Kosaki." She extended her hand. "I'm sorry for funning into you and knocking everything onto the floor." The boy looked at her hand before shaking it. "My name is Suboshi."
Suboshi rounded everything up and made a messy pile. "Thanks," he told her. "Would you like to hear some music? I -- Where is it?" He put his hand at the place where he usually kept his flute. Megumi reached into the pile and took the flute out.
"Is this what you're looking for?' she asked. He nodded and took it gratefully. He put one end to his lips and started to play.
The melody was sad yet beautiful. Suboshi made no mistakes although his eyes were closed. He wore a blissful look on his face. The bare halls rang with his music.
When the flute left his lips, Megumi began clapping.
"That was great, Suboshi-san!" exclaimed Megumi. He just smiled and thanked her.
"That really was good, Suboshi." He turned around to see Yui walking towards them. Blushing, he said, "Thank-you Yui-sa --"
"Yui-chan!" exclaimed Megumi. "Suboshi-san is the best flute player I've ever heard! And he isn't even old yet!" Yui laughed at this remark.
"You're right. He's still young and cute." Yui winked at Suboshi. He chuckled nervously as his face flamed up.
"Actually, there is a better flute player than me," began Suboshi. My older twin, Amiboshi."
"If he's better than Suboshi-san, he's have to be his older brother," stated Megumi. Yui chuckled as Suboshi stood there, basking in the prescence of his maiden.
After leaving Suboshi and his things at his room, Yui and Megumi left.
"Wow, three friends in one day," remarked Megumi happily. "Is everyone like you, Nakago-sama and Suboshi-san? If they are, I want to meet all of them!" She grinned at Yui. Yui smiled back.
"Nakago would like to talk to you after dinner," Yui said. "He didn't tell me why, but he told me to tell you to come alone."
"Okay then." She tucked a strand of hair behind her ears. "Suboshi-san must be really nice." Yui raised an eyebrow.
"How would you know such things from meeting him only once?" asked Yui.
"Well, not only by first impression, but from the way he played his flute." Yui gave her a puzzled look. "My foster dad told me that if someone can do something beautiful, they must be beautiful themselves. Even if they're rough on the outside, they can still be beautiful on the inside. A truly horrible person could still play tha tsong, but not as tood as Suboshi-san. He must truly be a beautiful person." Yui was amazed at her wisdom. In the shadows, a boy smiled.
