Read and Enjoy
As Ryuhou opened the door, he was shocked to see who was in front of his door waiting for him to open it.
Mimori then looked up with same usual face the she always gave Ryuhou, her contentment to see him.
"Mimori…what are you doing here…it's late?" he finally asked as he looked at her with his almost half cold face.
Mimori was having a hard time to answer him due to the fact he looked kind of mad or something. But she knew that she needed to talk to him in order to get this conflict between him and her over with once and for.
"Ryuhou…we need to talk" Mimori finally said with her face still calm.
Ryuhou got surprised from what Mimori had said to him and finally let her in to his dorm room.
Chapter Three: Why did this happen to us?
As the two got to the living room, they both sat down opposite from each other.
Mimori was having a hard time on how to start things, or to say, how fix this situation that both of them are in
"Ok…" interrupted Ryuhou while having his hands under his chin. "What is that you came to talk to me about?" he asked while looking at Mimori.
A few seconds past till the raven-haired female answered.
Then she looked up to face Ryuhou.
"Ryuhou…" she started to say. " We need to fix this conflict" she continued to say as her features showed little sadness.
"What conflict do you speak of?" asked Ryuhou with a confused look on his face.
"You know what I'm talking about…" she said as she kept looking at him.
Shock was written all over Ryuhou's face.
"About the way we are to each other…" she continued.
"I see…" Ryuhou said not taking his gaze from Mimori. "So that is why you came to see me…to try to fix this problem that we are in…am I right?" he asked.
"Yes…" said Mimori as she had her hands become into fists on top of her skirt. "Ryuhou…I'm tired of dealing with you always saying such horrible things to me every time you see me in the hallways…and how…" Mimori continued to say but was interrupted.
"Then why don't you go back to the Mainland like I always tell you…?" asked Ryuhou as he kept his cool gaze towards the Kiryu Heiress. "That way you wouldn't have to deal with me always saying 'such horrible things' to you" he said while feeling some pain in his heart already rising.
"Ryuhou…the reason why I didn't go back to the Mainland was…" said Mimori while having her gaze towards the floor. "…because I am able to do something here for the good of others…and because of other reasons as well" she said while having her gaze back at Ryuhou.
"As usual…the pathetic excuse that you always give me on why you don't go back to the Mainland" he said while looking away from Mimori. "Things are going to get hectic here just so you know" he said while not having his gaze towards Mimori.
"Do you think that's the only reason why I came here?" asked Mimori
"No…wait, let me guess…" he said while taking his gaze back at Mimori. "It's because you came to see me. he continued to say.
"That's one of them…but…" said the raven-haired female while looking down. "But you seemed not to notice that I won't be going back even though…" she continued but was interrupted again.
"Even thought what?" Ryuhou said while getting a little upset. "Even though I push you away…you won't go back to the Mainland right?" he asked.
"Yes…" she said as if she felt guilty. But she knew better that she needs to be strong in order to resolve this.
"You know that you are the impediment in all my missions?" asked Ryuhou while looking at Mimori.
Mimori was surprised to hear what Ryuhou, her childhood friend, had said to her.
"You know that you are the reason why I can't take it easy in HOLY?" he continued to ask. "Also, that you are the reason why I can't look every single day as a normal day?"
After hearing all of those reasons or questions that were directed to her, Mimori was paralyzed. She couldn't move nor make a sound come out of her mouth. She was stiff still as if she made a move; she would a punishment from Ryuhou of any sort.
"Was it true what he said...did he mean it?" thought the raven-haired female while looking down. "Am I really disturbing him with my presences? Did I do something wrong to make him hate me that much? Was it with me leaving him when we were little? Do I really make him feel or fill him with grievance every single day that he wakes up from his bed and go to work? Do I cause so much trouble for him coming to me to remind me to go back to the Mainland? If so, what am I doing here? Why didn't I choose to go back to the Mainland... when I saw that his personality has changed?" Mimori continued to ask herself internally until something hit her mind. Then she looked up to face Ryuhou again.
"Ryuhou…what happened to you?" asked Mimori while looking down again. "Tell me…why you changed yourself?" she said having her gaze still at the carpet floor of the living room.
"That is none of your concern" said Ryuhou with a cold tone. "I don't know why you asked such a pathetic question. The reason I have to give you on why I've changed is because of current events that have happened in recent years…that's all I can say" he said while still looking at Mimori.
'So…that's all you can say huh?" said the raven-haired female in an almost sadden tone.
None of them said a word after that...the room got quiet while the atmosphere got heavy.
Then one of them broke the silence that was incessantly going between them.
"What did you thought of me when you meet me for the first time?" asked Mimori in breaking the silence.
Ryuhou was surprised by the question that Mimori had asked him. He felt like he didn't want to answer it because his internal feelings would rise up again. Also he would feel his pain that he had to endure when he saw Mimori leave him when they were little. He can't answer that question; it was too risky for him.
"I see…I guess I was a big disturbance for you back then" said the sadden Kiryu heiress as she stood up from her sitting position.
Ryuhou was shocked to hear at what Mimori had just said to him, he also stood up.
"What did she mean by that?" the emerald haired man asked himself internally.
"Ryuhou…I will tell you my answer if I will go back to the Mainland or not…" Mimori said while looking down at the floor again. "But…first hear on what I to say about on what I have thought when I meet you" she said with her gaze still looking down.
Ryuhou just stayed calm enough to let himself hear what his childhood friend has to say to him.
"When I meet you…" started Mimori still looking at the floor. "I thought you were one of the nicest and sweetest guys I have ever met. I also realized that you were a shy guy, but I didn't take that at any advantage. Ever since that ball night, where I meet you, I felt that I needed to know you a little more. And I did get a chance when your mother invited me to your house" continued Mimori while lifting her gaze up.
Ryuhou felt another pain inflict at him when the name "mother" came out of Mimori's mouth to his own ears. But he kept his cool to just to keep hearing what else Mimori had to say about him.
"As we started to get to know each other…I grew fond of you. Then as days, in the six months that I had left before going back to the Mainland, kept coming to me, I started seeing you as a friend that I could trust with all my heart. I saw you as someone very special to me…someone that I had as an only friend. And I felt sad on the day that I had to leave you. After years passed, I promised myself that I would come to see you, and I did. But I found someone else instead of the one that I was looking for" she said as she looked up with her eyes getting all watery. "That is what I saw in you…but now things have changed…which means that I have to make a decision once and for all." she continued to say with a few tears started to fall from her eyes.
Mimori wasn't the only one who was feeling pain as well. Ryuhou had already felt the pain that he had put away a long time ago.
"I have come to say that…" said the raven-haired female continued to say as she looked deeply into Ryuhou's eyes. "After all I have said…I will leave here and go to the Mainland" she finished on what she had to say as tears kept falling even faster from her eyes.
Ryuhou was already dealing with so much pain in his heart. He doesn't know on what to do right now.
"Ryuhou…that's all I came to say…" she said as she started to walk slowly, but she hasn't passed him yet. "Now if you will excuse me….Ryuhou I wish you the best for the rest of your life" she said as she was passing by him with tears still falling from her eyes.
While Mimori was passing by Ryuhou, he felt himself that he was going to lose the one thing or person that he cherished the most. With that thought in his head, he did what he had wanted to do for a long time.
"Mimori!" yelled Ryuhou as he turned around and grabbed Mimori from her right arm and brought her close to him.
She had her back in front of Ryuhou, while he had one of his hands on her right arm.
"Mimori…" Ryuhou whispered by one of her Mimori's ears. "I'm not letting you go" as he said that he turned her around and pushed her to one of the near couches. "I'm not letting something that I cherish leave me now" he continued to say as he lay on top of Mimori.
Mimori was shocked and surprised of what Ryuhou just told her.
"And I'm not letting you get away from me anymore…now that I know how important you are in my life" with that said he closed the gap between them and Ryuhou started kissing Mimori with passionate.
Mimori at first didn't how to respond to the kiss, but she was finally happy to know that Ryuhou, her childhood friend and beloved, has finally revealed his feelings to her.
The Mimori broke the kiss, while looking at Ryuhou.
"Why Ryuhou?" she asked him with little sadness in her tone. "Why did you take this long to reveal this to me?" she asked him.
Ryuhou kept looking at Mimori for a long time…recollecting his answer in his mind.
"I took this long to tell you this…because if I told you my feelings for you, you would be in danger with being by my side. Also, that if did I deserve you or not." he said as he started kissing Mimori on her neck.
"Oh…that's is the reason why…" she thought as she put her arms around Ryuhou's neck.
"Also…" he said as he stopped kissing her neck. "…it was because of you said about me…and the way you thought about me" he said as he looked at her deeply in her eyes.
"Ryuhou…" Mimori said but was interrupted as she also responded to the kiss that Ryuhou was giving her.
The both of them spend the rest of the night or to say morning together, nothing special happened, they just slept together.
