Chapter 8:

"Man, Akira-kun's snowflake explanation was no help," Takumi mumbled to himself as he looked around, his eyebrows scrunched together. "I'm still lost." He looked around. He seemed to be at a small "corner". It was a small area, a tree in the corner. They're where several rows and columns of bird houses on one side of the wall and on the other side as well. There was another archway across from him now (the bird houses where on the wall next to the opening) but he wasn't sure if he would be going the right way. He thought for a while. He looked at the sky and the sun light reflected off his eyes, making him wrinkle his eyes. He looked down and rubbed his eyes. He looked up to the sound of pigeon's landing. It landed on a bird house near the archway. It crooked and looked around. Takumi walked toward it slowly and starred at it. He watched himself carefully so he didn't scare the bird. He looked closely and curiously. Then he noticed on one side of the bird there was a message. He tried to read it but it was hard since the letter was mostly covered. But there was a crest with a flower (lotus) and a mask on top of it. He reached out trying to catch it. Then the bird flapped and flew above Takumi, causing him to stumble on the bird houses. The bird flapped and flew in the direction of the opposite archway that Takumi came from. Takumi looked at it and ran in the same direction.

Her penciled scratched against her sketch book. She looked at the flower and vase on the coffee table. She continued to trace the flower and vase that was already on her paper. She stopped. She closed her eyes and sighed.

"God I am so bored," she whispered and looked to the direction of the door and looked through the opened window. She looked (almost desperately) with anticipation.

"Waiting for someone," a voice breezed beside her left ear. She jumped up and turned around.

"Aki –ni!" she yelled and blushed.

"So you are waiting for someone," Akito smirked evilly. Akira blushed a little more. She turned her head around quickly.

"I-I'm not waiting for anyone. I-I'm just, I just can't wait until today is over because I can finally walk tomorrow," she stuttered, her face was burning. Then she looked at the window. I wonder where he is.

"Wait stop running," Takumi panted. He stopped and took a couple of deep breaths. He swallowed his saliva and looked up to see where the bird was. It was gone. He looked around. It looked like he was passed the Main house to the master's residence. The land seemed bigger and more opened. He looked around. Even though he was passed the main house he still wasn't sure where he was.

He looked around this unfamiliar place. The wind blew by him and carried all the thoughts he had away. He looked up at the sky and took a deep breath and looked around. There was a small pond and a waterfall. Near the waterfall were two tall trees in the opposite ends of each other and all types of different flower around the trees and waterfall. Green vines with bayberries that trailed up the wall. There was a path that leads behind the waterfall. Takumi walked up and peeked behind the waterfall.

A white bird flew in through the window. It flapped and slowed down, landing on to Akito's forearm. It chirped and looked around. Akira looked at it with question and looked at the leg. Akito took the letter off and flung the bird lightly off of his arm and it flew away. He looked at it with a stern face. There's a family crest. What happen? Akira looked at him with concern, her eyebrows scrunched down.

"Aki-ni what happen," she asked. He gave no reaction. She looked at the unopened letter "Aki-ni!"

"S-sorry," he stuttered. Akira eye's nudged the letter. He opened the letter and his eyes moved slowly line to line. Then suddenly he slumped down, giving a sigh of relief. "I can't believe she played a joke like that on us," he moaned with a smile. Akira looked at him with question. He smiled and got up and patted Akira's head. He walked towards the door. "You're going to be so happy."

"What are you talking about," Akira glared. Akito chuckled. He held the door knob and opened it. A small breeze walked it and Akira eyes got caught. She cleared her eyes and looked towards the door. A girl with beautiful purple eyes and smooth silky skin walked in. her hair was long and floated gently in the air, her hair glowed on top of her white kimono. The sakura petals on the kimono looked as if it was actually floating down her cloths. Akira eyes widen and smiled a satisfied smile, almost like she was crying.

"I'm home."
