A Silent Guardian and Friend
Chapter 6-Offer
Kaze's P. O. V.
Red and silver were the color of my fur. Red symbolizes the blood of the ones I killed and hurt. Silver was my statue before becoming an abandoned deity, a tainted youkai. Youkai that had power similar to me were to be killed because they will threaten everyone's life. But not me. The reason? Maybe because I was once a human and deity or because they showed mercy or because they were afraid of me. But whatever, nobody will pity me. I' m just an eyesore or invisible to everyone.
Will there ever be someone that can save me from my sin?
End of P. O. V.
Mokkun was just returning from Seimei's room. "Haaa, I wonder if she calmed down yet?" He wondered out loud. When he stepped into Masahiro's room, the atmosphere was weird in there. The only thing the fire Shinsho saw Masahiro dazing out and Kaze staring out of space.
"Kazene Mizu. What's going on?" Asked the white creature. "Oh. I just offered young Masahiro to be my master." Replied the tigress. "What?" Said the mononoke stiffen.
At the same time. "That's weird." Wonder Tsuyuki, Masahiro's mother. "Huh, what is it, Tsuyuki-sama?" Asked Akiko watching her looking out at the window. "Well, I just wonder why Masahiro hasn't come out of his room yet?" "Oh. Maybe he had been concentrating on something again." Tsuyuki just smiled, "Yes, maybe you're right."
(Back to Masahiro's room) "Hey, both of you can snap out of it now." Said the tigress borely. Blinking, both Masahiro and Mokkun had waked up from their daydream. "Why would you offer this position to me? Why not someone stronger or had the potential to own you?" Now Masahiro was really confused.
Kaze lifted her head slowly and looked at Masahiro in the eye, "Because there is something in you interest me and it is your heart, your kindness. Young one." She turned her head away, "Normally, when I was in such a condition, no one would pity me, not even looked at me. Even worst, some of them tried to kill me when I was weakening, but..." She paused
"But what?" Mokkun barged in. "Mokkun!" Scolded Masahiro. "But you." "Huh, what?" Letting out a weak smile, "You Masahiro. Your kindness had saved me from the darkness of my heart. If you leave me out there just like that, I surely will die two days later. Eaten up by the darkness in my heart. So, please accept me as the one who serve you."
"Wow, what a confession. What do you think, Masahiro?" Mused Mokkun. "I..." Suddenly, a knock was heard, Seimei had arrived at the room. "So, Masahiro. Do you accept Mizu-sama's offer or not? She could be a good ally." Said Seimei.
Masahiro looked at Kaze, then Seimei and Mokkun and repeat the movement. Finally, when he turned back to Kaze, he let out a pure and happy smile, "Then I'll be honor to be your master and friend." Kaze closed her eye and too, smile. "Thank you for accepting me. Pardon me, I think I' m going to pass out for now." With that, she just fell onto the futon, scaring everyone in the room.
"Seemed like she is an expert when it comes to hiding things, especially her emotion. Masahiro, you better take good care of her. You got that?" Said Seimei. "Yes, grandpa."
