Chapter 4
"Rikuo..." Tsurara suddenly appeared from behind him.
"Tsurara! So, what's your answer? Will you go out with me later?" asked Rikuo.
Tsurara was just silent, Rikuo smiled and went to Tsurara. "You don't like the way I invited you?
Or are you just avoiding me?" Rikuo asked.
"No, Rikuo. It's not like that...I'm just confused, because over the years, you never invited me out," said Tsurara. Rikuo was silent after hearing Tsurara's explanation. Tsuarara continued in a respectful tone, "Rikuo...no...Master...I'm sorry, but I have to reject Master's request, just this time. I don't want, but I don't feel comfortable, because Master is going out with Kana and not me. So, I'm sorry..." After she finished speaking, Tsurara slowly backed away from him. But, Rikuo grabbed her hand.
"Tsurara!" called Rikuo.
"Let me go, Master and call me Yuki-Onna. We're not like before," pleaded Tsurara, trying to free her hand from Rikuo's.
"I have told you to just call me Rikuo!" shouted Rikuo, sounding angry.
"Rikuo? Tsurara?" asked a surprised voice, and they turned to see, Wakana who was shocked to see a fight between Rikuo and Tsurara.
"Let me go..." said Tsurara quietly.
Wakana moved closer to them. "What's wrong? Tsurara? Rikuo?" asked Wakana.
"Nothing, Mom. Just a misunderstanding it," answered Rikuo quickly, not wanting his mom to know what was going on. Rikuo let go of Tsurara's hand, and she immediately ran away from that situation.
"Rikuo, did something happen between you and Tsurara? I see you've changed and are paying more attention to Tsurara...are there any problems?" asked Wakana.
"Mom..actually...we...I...just wanted to invite her out. I never thought she would react like this. After all, she's always involving Kana in our conversations. I don't know what else I can do for her," said Rikuo with a sigh.
"Rikuo...Try to think for a moment. You suddenly request for her to go out with you, and all this year, you've only gone out with Kana. Of course she'll be confused by the invitation," said Wakana.
"I don't want to force her, but I don't want this happen...I don't want my dream to come true. I just want her to be mine forever..." said Rikuo, feeling sad.
"Apparently, Rikuo remembered the dream in which is Tsurara get married. What is happening with my child now...Hum...How about this, Rikuo. Give Tsurara some time and I will try to discuss this matter with her. Okay?" asked Wakana. Rikuo was silent, and Wakana smiled. "If you really love her, Rikuo, then you'll need a lot of patience. You need to wait for the right time..." Wakana said to her son.
Rikuo nodded silently and walked away. "Tsurara, I'm sorry...I won't make you uncomfortable again like that..." he whispered to himself.
The next day...
"WHAT! Really?" asked Rikuo excitedly.
"Yep! I've already talked her, and she agreed," said Wakana with a happy smile.
Tsurara walked out of her room then, and Rikuo rushed towards her, taking her hand in his. "Are you serious Tsurara? You'll go out with me?" asked Rikuo, wanting to hear the words from her mouth.
Flashback
"Tsurara..." said Wakana, walking into the girl's room.
Tsurara turned towards her and stood up. "Ms. Wakana..."
"Sleeping yet?" asked Wakana.
"No...not yet...why has Madam come to my room? Do you need somethings?" asked Tsurara.
"I'm here to talk about my son...Rikuo's really eager to go out with you. You know how Rikuo is, he's restless, and I just want to see Rikuo happy with his beloved," said Wakana by way of explanaition.
"Madam...it's not that I don't want to go out with him, it's just that I'm still confused by the sudden invitation. I know that during his life, Rikuo's always been with Kana, not with me," said Tsurara.
"I know, but Rikuo has changed and he wants to go out with you, Tsurara. Give him a chance to know you more then Kana..." requested Wakana with smile.
End Flashback
"Yes, Master."
Rikuo quickly pinched both her cheeks and Tsurara let out a small squeak of pain.
"Itai! It hurts!"
"I won't hesitate to correct you. I already told you, just call me 'Rikuo.' Not 'Master'. If you're still going to make the same mistake, I will hang you on a tree, like when we were smaller. Do you want me to do it?" asked Rikuo.
Tsurara immediately shook her head, and Rikuo laughed and held out his hand to Tsurara.
"From now on, we'll go to school and also come back together..." said Rikuo.
Tsurara smiled and laugh, nodding quickly. "Yes, Rikuo" she answered, holding Rikuo's hand.
"That's great..." said Wakana to herself, feeling relieved to see that Rikuo and Tsurara's relationship was back to how it had been before.
In school
"Tsurara, are you alright?" asked Shima.
"Yes, I'm fine," Tsurara replied, smiling.
Rikuo hugged Tsurara in front of their classmates, surprising everyone that was there, including Tsurara. "You don't have to worry about her again, because from now on I will look after her and also protect her. If there are people who want to try to hurt my Tsurara, I will deal with that person. Let's go, Tsurara," said Rikuo, leading her away by the hand.
"Maki,have you noticed that Rikuo has changed since what happened yesterday?" asked Kiyotsugu.
"Yes, I did. Rikuo iswith Tsurara more often than Kana now," said Maki.
The situation had made Kana really jealous and she was already planning ways to destroy Rikuo's relationship with Tsurara.
"Tsurara..." began Rikuo.
"Yes?" asked Tsurara with a smile.
"Let's go out tonight," pleaded Rikuo.
"Well, I'll need some time to get ready," said Tsurara, teasing.
Kana looked at them sharply."Out Tonight,"she whispered to herself.
Tsurara was trying on different clothes when Wakana walked into her room, smiling. "You look beautiful, Tsurara. Looks like Rikuo didn't fall for the wrong person," she said, teasing the girl.
"Madam, I'm not pretty at all, I just look plain. I really want to make Rikuo happy forever, but I don't think I can. Furthermore, I'm not human, and won't fit well with him," said Tsurara humbly.
"Tsurara! What nonsense are you spouting? If Rikuo heard what you said just now, he'd be very upset," said Wakana, mock scolding her.
Just then, Night Rikuo appeared.
"Tsurara...are you ready?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm ready...I'll go first, and don't worry about Rikuo because I will always protect him!" said Tsurara with smile.
When she left, Wakana smiled to herself, shaking her head.
In the garden
Night Rikuo and Tsurara were silent once they were out of the house; they were both too shy and didn't know what to say.
What am I supposed to do now? Talk? I'm the one that asked her out! I need to say something! thought Rikuo
"Rikuo, I want to know ask you some things. Are you alright?" asked Tsurara.
"Of course! Why would you ask about that?" questioned Rikuo.
"I'm just...amazed by your attitude. You're not acting like yourself, Rikuo," said Tsurara, looking down.
Night Rikuo was silent, wondering what to say. Suddenly, he remembered the night he bought something special.
"Tsurara," Night Rikuo said, taking out a small box from his pocket and giving it to Tsurara. "For you..."
"For me? What's inside?" Tsurara asked, smiling in confusion.
" A special gift for you. Look inside," Night Rikuo replied with a smile.
Tsurara opened the gift, and was surprised to see the contents of the box. "A necklace...how beautiful, Rikuo. You bought it for me?" asked Tsurara, finding it hard to believe.
"Of course. I'm sorry that over these years I've never given you a gift, but I gave you one now. I'm glad you like it," answered Night Rikuo, shy and smiling.
"Thank you, Rikuo. I promise that I will take care of this necklace with my life,"said Tsurara, happy with her gift.
Suddenly ...
"HELP ME!"
Night Rikuo and Tsurarajumped up when they heard the shout, surprised.
"Tsurara, you wait here," commanded Night Rikuo.
"No! I'll follow you! I don't want you to go alone!" said Tsurara fiercely.
Night Rikuo smiled and nodded quickly. "Alright but you have to be careful, I don't want anything to happen to you," said Night Rikuo.
"Yes, Rikuo. I got it," answered Tsurara enthusiastically.
They then ran to help the person who was shouting for help, but...
"Kana!"
Kana looked up and hugged Night Rikuo when she saw him, crying.
Night Rikuo was surprised, and so was Tsurara.
"Rikuo...don't leave me alone, I love you..." Kana pleaded, crying in Night Rikuo's arms.
What? Kana...she...knows I'm Rikuo? But, how? It's impossible! thought Night Rikuo.
Tsurara just watched in silence, a thousand ways to destroy Kana jumping into her mind.
"What's going on?" she asked in outrage.
Continued
What happened just now? How does Kana know that Night Rikuo and Day Rikuo are the same person? Does she also know about Tsurara? What's going to happen to their date? Can Night Rikuo explain to Tsurara that he and Kana are just friends? Will Night Rikuo's dream come true? Just wait the next chapter...n_n
