Chapter 5
Lord Reivan was shocked. He had imagined that the girl was someone important but not that important. Though he was a Lord of the forests and the Lord of Black forest, and Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi was only a River spirit, Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi was a much more higher-ranking and powerful spirit by right. Sen Kitakami was a powerful spirit with many less powerful spirits at her disposal.
He stared into her eyes to see the truth. He resigned himself to the fate of setting her loose on his domain.
"Very well, you may stroll ONLY around the Imperial Jasmine Garden and the North Tower. The other towers and gardens are out of bounds for now. You will have to earn the right to visit those gardens," said Lord Reivan commandingly
Kaoru stared at the floor, "Very well," she said stiffly.
"Hmmm, this is just what I expected of Reivan, my foolish brother," sneered the mysterious deep voice.
A brunette dressed in a sheer green dress walked over to the mysterious man.
"Lord May, what Lord Reivan does foolishly may benefit you," she softly said.
He glanced at the girl, "Perhaps you are right, Tea" His mouth inched towards her and kissed her deeply.
"Is Kaoru alright?" asked Yuki immediately as Chihiro and Haku came back in.
Chihiro sighed, "According to Zeniba, she is safe but until I can see for myself whether Kaoru is safe, I do not know."
"Well, we'll just have Zeniba's word then," stated Aoshi.
"Yes, but Zeniba has always been worthy of trust," said Haku
Aoshi changed the subject, "What about the Heir? Who do you think it is?"
"According to the Prophecy…"
The Heir and the Innocent
Shall meet together
Under dangerous times
A forbidden love…
That is a turning point for this world
Approved and their love shall be free
And the world shall rest in peace for one thousand years'
Broken and their love shall destroy the world
And the world will be in destructive for one thousand years
"It must be someone close to us, close to Kaoru," said Haku, in deep thought.
"I guess who is close to Kaoru? It has to be someone she knows," replied Yuki thoughtfully.
"Well, let's make a list of the men she knows…," suggested Aoshi.
"Ok, there are Yuki, Nike, Devi, Deivu, Aiki, Sanii and Suno," said Aoshi as he listed them off on his fingers.
"We can cross Yuki off the list…Kaoru has known him since she was born," said Chihiro
"The prophecy can mean different things, Chihiro. Look how the prophecy that was about turned out," reminded Haku.
Chihiro blushed.
"Hmm, I know we're all getting a bit tired so how about we continue this tomorrow?" said Yuki.
Haku smiled at Yuki, "Sure, I know we're all tired after today's events"
