Chapter 5
As Kino pulled Shizu down the path, Shizu still couldn't believe Kino had managed all this time on her own. It must be hard for such a young girl to be traveling on her own. 'How long has she been traveling like this?' he asked himself. Now that he knew the truth, it felt like he seen her in a whole different light. All of a sudden Kino let go of his hand and walked up to a man telling stories of how the festival began through puppet form. Kino watched as the story that was being told, listening ever so carefully like she does to all stories she hears.
Shizu approached her and tried to begin to talk to her went she put her finger in front oh his mouth in a shh form of saying. They stayed there for a while and after the show Kino talked to the performer about the story he just told. She wanted to be able to tell Hermes what he missed out on. He had been lazy and wanted to stay behind to rest.
Kino and Shizu continued down the path coming to a large field filled with cherry blossom trees. It was the time of season when there flowers started to bloom their brilliant colors. "Wah!" Kino said as she admired all the flowers. She ran toward the trees and spun around and fell to the ground as some blossom petals fell from the trees. Shizu walked up to her while Riku stayed behind. His master had that 'I need to ask her about something in private' look in his eye.
"Shizu! Look at all the flowers! Aren't they pretty?" she smiled. Shizu finally came to her side and sat down next to the tree still with his eyes pinned toward her.
"Kino, what country are you originally from?" he asked out of the blue. Kino felt like her heart stopped for a second. Why was he asking her such a thing at a time like this. She felt her body go cold and she shivered inside. "My country? I've forgotten such a thing." she replied in a serious tone. She then turn her body around to not face Shizu. She felt like he asked her the most personal question to ever be asked.
Shizu noticed the question seemed to make her very much uncomfortable, but he felt like he needed to know the truth. He began to talk again. "Before I came here, I visited another country called 'The Land of Adults'. They told me a story about a young girl that refused their customs and ran away on a motorrad. The story reminded me of you, so I was wondering if you are the girl from that country that ran away." he told her trying to get an answer.
Tears started to run down from Kino's eyes, but she tried to hide them from him. She absolutely didn't want him to see her cry. But the memories inside were over flowing. The death of Kino, her parents trying to kill her, the faces of the other villages and so much more. She tried to force the tears back in but Shizu had already moved in front of her and noticed her face was getting wet of tears. He pulled her up toward him and she began to cry harder. She had been keeping it all inside for so long it over took her and now she couldn't stop.
Shizu held her for a while as she cried till finally she could cry anymore. This was the first time she had let someone see her cry. When she was finished, she then looked up at Shizu who was looking a bit bored. He didn't seem to notice that she had stopped crying. "Now look at what you done." she wined. "You made me remember things that aren't important, things I don't want to remember." she looked at him trying to make a mad face, but her face was still red from crying and she looked funny.
Shizu began to laugh at her and she got mad and pouched him down and walked away. But before she could get too far he grabbed her legs making her fall flat on her face. She got so made she pulled her gun to his face. (she didn't do it intentionally, it kind of a bad habit.) Went she revised what she was about to do she dropped her gun in shock. 'Did he really get her that mad?' she thought. "I'm sorry Shizu... You surprised me and I don't know what came over me." she tried to laugh it off. Shizu who was still in shock that she would get that mad at him that bad, didn't know what to say.
As Kino was still laughing about it, she didn't notice Shizu come closer to her, so close that he laid a kiss on her cheek. Kino jumped back a little freaked out by Shizu's new found emotion. Shizu then noticed that he once again made her uncomfortable. "I'm sorry about that Kino, I don't know what got over me there. It won't happen again." he smiled to her and walked away with Riku at his side.
Kino laid there still unable to say anything as Shizu walked away. She felt her heart beat fast and hard. This wasn't a feeling she ever felt before and it confused her. 'What could this feeling be?' she asked herself.
