Chapter 4
You're My Best Friend…
"Everyone, I need to tell you something." I stated.
Everyone was sitting around a nice, warm fire- for we had set up camp-eating cooked fish, and various types of herbs. All except the Cullens, who, like almost every night, stayed away from everyone, and seemed to just talk amongst themselves, and wander around.
"I think-it would be best—if I simply went my own way."
"What?" everyone seemed to say in unison.
"But—Arashi-sama, you could get yourself killed!" Kagome nearly shrieked.
"Yes, I know Kagome. But, it would be easier traveling by myself, and people wouldn't become suspicious of us."
"But—Lady Arashi," Rin whimpered, "Who else is going to pick flowers with me? And sing songs with me when we're traveling on an empty road?"
My eyebrows lifted up in slight surprise. This child has become attached to me."Kaname," I said after a moment of silence.
"Yes?" she asked, cocking her head to the side.
"Take care of Rin."
"Y-yes, of course—Arashi-sama!"
"And my older brother," I added in.
Her face immediately turned beat red, and I heard a couple of chuckles. "Y-yes, I-I will." She stuttered, trying to keep her voice strong.
"Very good," I stated, and standing up with my hand resting on Sounga's hilt, I walked to the door.
"Arashi," a familiar voice called, and I immediately stopped, and turned around.
Edward was looking at me with concerned eyes, that were also pained, and full of sadness.
"No, you must stay here as well," I said to him, trying to sound as firm as possible. My chest was aching at seeing him so unhappy.
Before he could say anything else, I lunged forward, and threw my arms around him in a tight embrace, burying my face in his chest.
"You are the best friend I have ever had," I whispered, and then gripped onto his shirt tighter, "You will always be in my heart."
Quickly, I let go of him, and raced out of the hut. The minute I was outside, I did not transform, but took the skies.
That is when I let the tears fall.
