He accompanied me to the temple; we both walked in silence afraid to disturbed one another's thoughts. I climbed the stairs to the temple and said my prayers while he waited outside. Once again we walked in silence this time, I broke it.
"May I ask who hired you?" It's a foolhardy question to ask since I know the answer but might as well try to make a conversation with this stranger.
He smiles warmly at me before he answer. "You don't have to be so polite princess it makes you appear older than you really are." I harden at his predicament. Noticing my facial expression, he apologizes about his comment. "Your husband, he was the one who hired me."
"He's yet to be my husband." I whispered in distaste. People around the street yell at how lucky I am to marry into the Mibu clan, I only see it as a misfortune to be force to marry someone I haven't meet or feel any emotional interest whatsoever.
"My apologies, the people look rather happy about the news of your wedding, why aren't you." I look at him, his face showing curiosity as to why I am not rejoicing like the others.
"This is none of you affair, I simply said turning my head to the opposite direction trying to hold my tears from spilling down my face. I heard him chuckle in amusement.
"I guess you're right princess, anyhow if you need anything I would always be by your side. Not because is my duty but because I chose to do so." He disappeared. I glare in surprise to see myself in front of my room. About to open the door, a maid came to my side.
"Lady, Kyoshiro-sama wants to see you. He's near the river." I nodded. Thanking her for the information. The river wasn't to far from my room; you had to pass two house quarters to get there. Sitting by a rock, he watched as the water moved calmly, I walked closer to him.
"Have you met you protector?" he ask in a monotone not diverting his gaze from the water.
"Yes, I have. In fact he accompanied me to the temple later this afternoon." He looked at me smiling warmly.
"I am glad, he did. I hope you get to trust him like I do Sakuya." he stood from his position and came towards me cupping my face in his hands, giving me a soft kiss in the cheek. Leaving me there alone to watch the free water move.
That night I couldn't sleep thinking at how my life would be after I marry Kyoshiro. He is a nice man but he doesn't show any of his emotion is as if he is isolating himself from me and from the world.
The morning sun shining through my window woke me up to a beautiful start. Like every morning a maid comes in to do the bed and to help get ready I am beginning to get used to that I won't be able to escape this fate settle upon me. When I went outside he was there waiting for me.
"I don't need an escort; I'm already familiarized with this household." I told him straight forward. Moving forward, slightly brushing one another.
"I'm beginning to think you don't like me. Huh princess." stopping in my tracks I turned my head giving him my full attention.
"Why would you say that." the sound of my voice sounded concern of what he might think. In truth, I'm taking all my frustration on him. I should at least apologize. He was about to speak and on instinct I put my index finger on his lips, stopping him from speaking. I wanted him to hear what I had to say.
"I apologize for my rude behavior, if I made you feel uncomfortable, I'm truly sorry and do not think I don't like you." for the first time in awhile I gave a true smile. Removing my finger from his mouth I let him escort me to where I belong, beside my future husband.
