Chapter 3

Tsurara hid under a tree behind the school; she longed to cry but tried not to.

Flashback

"Tsurara!"

Night Rikuo grabbed Tsurara's hand when he saw that Tsurara was about to fall into the river as

they were on night patrol.

"Master, I'm so sorry! I was too careless. I should be protecting you Master, not the other way around…" replied Tsurara, scared that night Rikuo might be disappointed in her.

"What nonsense are you talking? And I already told you; just call me 'Rikuo.' Not 'Master'. You are... When we were younger, you didn't have a problem with calling me 'Rikuo'. So…why now?" Rikuo asked.

Tsurara was stunned by the sudden confession.

"I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again..." she said quietly.

Rikuo smiled then, and petted her hair as if she were a child.

"You don't always have to protect me. I'm The master of youkai. I should be the one protecting everyone, including you; even now, when you're in your youkai form and have power. Sometimes, you're in danger as well, and I promise to protect you always and forever," answered night Rikuo
with a smile.

End Flashback

"Rikuo...of course you're strong, and I know you'll protect me forever even though you love Kana," she whispered quietly to herself, crying. "I promise to always protect and love you, Rikuo…"

Rikuo constantly watched Tsurara during class; it always made Kana wonder, and filled her with jealousy.

"Why is Rikuo suddenly so interested in Tsurara today instead of me? Does he love Tsurara now? Wait…I thought Shima liked Tsurara since she transferred to the school two months ago?" she whispered to herself; she still had so many questions in her mind that needed answers._

Flashback

"Yes, Rikuo. I did love you. But you never cared for me; you've always been with Kana, from the beginning, in school. I know I'm not a human, like Kana, but I do have feelings. I want to love and be loved, Rikuo. It makes me really happy that you've finally told me, but...but why now, Rikuo? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why?" Tsurara yelled angrily, tears in her eyes.

End Flashback

"I'm stupid, Tsurara, because I didn't know that you loved me for so long. You always protected me when I had a problem. I just looked at Kana...but, you were always the one I loved, and when you chose to be with Shima, it broke my heart… I'm so happy that Kami-sama has given me a second chance to make things right. I won't allow your heart to be stolen by Shima or anyone else; I want you all to myself, forever..." whispered Rikuo to himself.

Back from school

"Tsurara! Wait right there!" ordered Rikuo.

Tsurara stopped obediently, and Rikuo sighed before approaching her. "Tsurara…why are you avoiding me now? Is it because of what happened earlier? "asked Rikuo.

"You've changed, Rikuo. I don't know...Yesterday, you were normal, but why are you completely different today? Like a different person? You're not the Rikuo I know…" said Tsurara quietly.

Rikuo was silent, and finally Tsurara went back to smiling.

"But, you promised that you won't prohibit me from making friends with everyone. After all, I have my own life and I want to do my best, even if I'm not good enough like Kana," answered Tsurara.

"ENOUGH!" cried Rikuo.

This surprised Tsurara; Rikuo's face was outraged.

"Just enough! Don't bring up Kana's name in a conversation between us, and don't include Shima's either. I just want to get along with you. Please understand!" Rikuo said quietly, showing a shy smile as he glanced at Tsurara.

Tsurara smiled a little when she saw this. "Okay…"

"Um...Tsurara, would you mind if I asked you something?" asked Rikuo after a while.

"Just ask! I'll do my best not to disappoint you," said Tsurara smile.

At home

"Oh, they're back!" said Wakana quietly to herself. "Tsurara, I have prepared your favorite food-" she started with a smile.

Tsurara just rushed into the room.

"I wonder if something happened to Tsurara?" Wakana asked herself quietly.

"Don't worry, Mom. Tsurara's fine," answered Rikuo shyly.

Tsurara hug pillow; she was really nervous, but also happy.

Flashback

"Er...do you have any time?" asked Rikuo a little shy.

"We always have time, when we did patrols..." answered Tsurara.

"No, my point is your own time, with no missions or anything to interfere?" clarified Rikuo.

"I think...I have a lot of time, but it's usually at night. But Rikuo…I want to know, why are you asking questions like that of me?" asked Tsurara.

"Actually, I wanted to invite you out. You said that you have time at night...so, we'll go out at night! Just you and me," said Rikuo.

End Flashback

"Why did he suddenly ask that? Why do I feel so shy about going out with Rikuo? Over the years, he never invited me out, but today...agrh! What should I do?" Tsurara questioned.

Rikuo was standing in front of sakura trees, not doing much. Tsurara still hadn't answered him…

"Will she go out with me? This is the only opportunity I have to know Tsurara. Will she say yes? No?" said Rikuo, talking to himself.

"Rikuo..." Tsurara suddenly appeared from behind him.

"Tsurara...so, what is your answer? Will you go out with me later?" asked Rikuo.
