Chapter 7
It was late in the afternoon. Kino had spend the all morning learning more about the country and it's festival along with Hermes, Shizu and Riku. During the time she spend in the country she had found out that the festival was held because, over 100 years ago two people had fled to this grant country from their home country to elope due to their families not accepting them wanting to be together. It had caused great chaos and their families tried to track them down. The young couple had meet an elderly lady in the new country that had took them in and hid them went their families came looking for them.
The father of the girl had gotten angry at the old lady after finding out from a secret source that she had lied to them went they questioned her about the young couple's whereabouts. So then they killed her. After the young couple found out that the elderly lady had been killed, they felt very much guilt inside of them. She had keep there secret hidden till the end. At the time she was killed, the couple had been hiding in secret underground cave where their parents had never found when they rampaged the house in their search.
The young couple had been so upset they killed themselves at the exact area the elderly lady had died. When they were found the heart of the citizens had dropped at the sight of their blood which seemed to run on forever in their minds. It even saddened their own families to see the pain they had put them through. They had realized they has killed the heart of what they cherished the most in the world. In honor of the young couple and to the elderly lady that was loved by many of the citizens, they celebrated The Day of Hearts which was celebrated the day that the young couple had eloped. Which was the day before their death.
Kino had found this story sad, but understood the point of view of wanting to follow their own heart. They were not so different from her, she had ran away from the operation from her own home country for such a reason as well. They both ran away from something that scared them, something they didn't want. They ran to something they did want like she did.
Later that day Kino and Shizu separate ways and she went back to the inn with Hermes. Kino began to wonder again about that feeling she had gotten. She still couldn't put her mind off it, she felt as if a part of herself was being teared from the inside. She had never felt pain like this. She had gotten cuts and bruises in the past throughout her journey, but nothing hurt like she was hurting now. She began to quickly pack her things, she didn't think she should stay any longer in the country, it was driving her mind crazy.
She put her bags on Hermes and pouched him out of the room. But, before she did, she noticed something sparkle at the corner of her eye, she put Herme's kick break and headed toward the item on the table next to Shizu's bed.
"Kino... Kino..." Hermes wined. "Aren't we going yet? Its been three days already, how long are you planning on staying here." Kino stared at the sword that was in front of her. She had never seen Shizu use this one. It looked like it had just been polished very delicately and looked almost new. She admired the decoration all over it and how she could see her reflection in the blade. She wondered if it was a new one he had bought, of if it was just one he keep because it had a special meaning to it.
"Kino!" Hermes yelled again. Kino then turned to look at Hermes and giggled. "Your so inpatient Hermes. You need to lighten up a little." she told him. She put down the sword and left to Herme's side and pouched him out. She went up to the front deck and payed the lady and gave her back the kimono and thanked her for a wonderful time. She then walked out and go on her and drove away trying best not to look back.
"Kino... Are you sure this is what you want? You didn't say goodbye to them" Hermes asked her in a concerned voice. Her had noticed Kino was not completely herself the last few days. She didn't answer for a few minutes. Down the road Kino stopped the motorrad and looked back not knowing what to answer her companion. She then noticed among the trees the vast color of red. She drove him up and noticed it was millions of flowers all over the fields. (like the ones on the anime) She drove in them and dropped down with Hermes and began to sing.
"Who would do such a thing!" Hermes yelled. Kino stopped singing and began to giggle remembering the first time Hermes had asked that question to her. She never got tired of it. She smiled to herself, but then that feeling hit her again. What was this feeling? Could she really leave before she knew? She laid their among the flowers and gently started to sing again as Hermes listened to her voice. Her mixed emotions coming out through her lips into a wonderful song. Hermes listened and began to wonder how exactly Kino was feeling. Unlike Kino, Hermes never felt emotions that made him uneasy.
