"Do You think they saw us?" Metsuki asked.
"Dunno!" Ekiyuu said, jumping over a small rock,
and landing a little too gracefully on the ground.
Metsuki ran beside Ekiyuu as they ran back the the cottage belonging to the woman they hadnt gotten to know quiet as well as they wished they could.
Metsuki almost perposly decided to run slower than Ekiyuu for his boyish pervertisized reasons. Ekiyuu seemed to not hold a single clue at Metsukis boyish crush. She had always been used to boys picking on her when they liked her. Hence her last relationship with Aieo Meyazuma.
The boy had been picking on her since she was
a little girl, and until the day that her father told her
of his crush when he was a boy, she had never
liked the boy one bit. Metsuki had always sat in
anger, staring at the couple that would laugh together,
and walk together, holding hands in the hall. He hated it
with all the compassion held in his frail body.
Metsuki remembered watching the break up
with his own eyes. It was because of him. Aieo had told
Ekiyuu that it was either him or Metsuki. She chose
Metsuki. She had known him longer, but had always,
always thought of Metsuki as a friend. He hated that
with all of his passion as well.
They both came to the cottage, almost ramming into the door, when it opened. They fell onto the ground inside the cottage, beside the large sized woman, as she smiled at them happily.
"You two just had to go and watch for yourselves didnt you?" Zeniba asked.
Ekiyuu laughed while letting Metsuki help her up.
"You're the one with the magical tea Zeniba. I had to watch
it for real, and not in some silly dream."
"So thats what you dreamed?" Metsuki asked, letting her arm go, and dusting the dirt off of his shirt.
"Yep." She said. Metsuki became a little unhappy with that,
but then remembered his own dream, and smiled.
"Oh." He said quietly.
"Alright now come on, we better get you two to sleep. It has been a long day and even Kaonashi had to sit down and rest..." She laughed at her own joke, knowing a spirit needed no rest. He had not one whole part in his body, except for the mask he wore over his face.
Ekiyuu nodded, and grabbed Metsuki's arm, pulling him towards where they layed down two pallets. She plopped her body down on the small pull out futon, and rolled into a ball. Metsuki laughed and grabbed a blanket from the stack Zenbiba left them, and layed it gently over her body, then did the same for himself.
Everything seemed quiet to Metsuki. He had such a beautiful girl sitting next to him... and... yet she was so far away from him. He let out a long sigh, before turning to his side, where his face faced her back. He closed his eyes and sighed once again.
A few minutes later, he heard some movement comming from
the girl beside him, and when he opened his eyes, she
was facing him, her eyes wide open, and staring into his. She
had her hands clinging to each other in front of her chest,
and her chin rested on the bundle of fingers. Her hair
slipped down from the side of her head and fell in front
of her eyes. It was an impulse for Metsuki to move the
hair from her eyes.
She didnt remove her eyes from his. The moon shone in from inbetween the shutters and she could just barely see the small shade of pink on his cheeks. The blanket was brought to his waste, and his school shirt was unbuttoned just a little, showing a small about of his chest. She heaved in a happy saticfied sigh, before gazing back at his glistening eyes.
"Metsuki..." She began.
"Yeah?" He asked, bringing his arm to lay out in front of him,
so she could rest her own head in his hand.
He noticed her face go sad. "I'm scared." She almost started to cry. "Not for me and you, but for Chihiro."
He could here the crackle in her voice as she fought the tears that wanted to come falling from her once so happy eyes.
He furrowed his eyebrows, and moved closer to her, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and laying his chin on her head. He could feel her tremble, and shake, and even though he had no clue what to say, or what to do, he was glad he was the one to comfort her.
"It'll be fine." He said.
Ekiyuu looked up, tears just barely tipped over her lash, and it fell down her sweet round cheek. "How do you know?"
Out of another impulse, Metsuki raised his hand and wiped the tear from her cheek.
And then... he told her his dream.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me and Kohaku just layed there, half naked, but still pure.
All we did was cuddle, and coress. Its all we needed. My body was
curled into his arms, and even though he was
asleep, he had a strong grip on my body. His fingers were intwined
with my feathers, as if he were petting them when he fell asleep.
It touched my heart that he seemed so careful with me. As if not
wanting to let me go.
The sun crept over the top of the flower covered hill, and
through the green forest beside the hill. I shifted a little
hoping to wake him. He winced, but warmly opened his eyes.
I could feel his fingers testing the feel of the feathers on my
back. I almost felt like a cat ready to purr. It felt good to
have someone just sooth the wounded spots.
He smiled, not looking at me, but at a feather that nestled on my shoulder. He reached over and picked it off, and showed me the still very white and beautiful thing.
"I should be extra careful with you." He said. I layed my head on his extended arm, and yawned a good morning hello to the new day.
"I dont want to leave this spot." I said, bringing my finger to a muscle on his arm, and circling it. It twitched from the unfamilliar touch.
"Yeah..."
Then we heard a small rustle in the flowers. We turnned over to find a small boy that looked the age of eight or so. I stood with my wings wrapped around me to cover my half naked body
"Who are you?" I asked. The boy looked like a kid I knew from my neighborhood that would send out the mail, but this one was younger. He was so small, and scared of everything around him it seemed. I made a smile of concern.
"I need to speak to Sen." He said, straightening up. "Now."
"I'm Chihiro, but... everyone here calls me Sen..."
He held out a small letter, folded and sealed with what looked like.
bath grub?
My eyes widened as I knew who it was from. "Lin."
