Grandma, tell me how can I love again after I lost my heart? ~Mizukawa Kazuki~
Kazuki-chan, you never lost your heart. Instead, you misplaced it or rather hide it from everyone. ~Mizukawa Chiyo~
Kazuki honestly never thought of the feeling being love; not after what had happen to her in the past but also not after Chiyo's death. But, when this certain young man came into her life, it all changed. He gave her his hope that was to be with her.
"Let me be with you, Kazuki. Let me cherish you."
Was all that he said to her on one day, that she thought would never came into her life.
"How can someone who was deeply hurt in the past, love someone who was equally hurt too?"
Was all that she could say to him. It took him a while to figure it out.
"That's why we are destined to meet each other, so that both of us could heal each other, love each other."
It shocked her so much that she lost her words. This young man was the toughest opponent that she ever met in all entire her life! It's not that easy to make him give up with his simple thought. And so, Kazuki let him enter her life, hoping that he would leave her later. But, it was never happen. Instead, he asked her to live with him, in a simple apartment that he rent all by himself.
"What? Are you nuts? We can't be living together! We are not even married!"
"Then, marry me, Kazuki!" His blurted thought making her blushed.
"Look, you are out of your mind now! We can't-"
"We can, Kazuki. We can. I've told my parents that we will live together and my parents agree with that." He said, reassuring her.
Actually, it took Kamui a lot to convince his parents, especially the current Li clan leader, and the husband of sweet (formerly Kinomoto) Sakura, Li Syao Ran.
"No, Kamui! How can Otoo-san let you live with some maiden alone in a house!"
"Anata, it's not maiden, that's too old fashion, it's a young lady, considering her age." Sakura, who was walking from the kitchen, interrupted.
"Whatever, Sakura. This young man! I just can't let him live with some maiden-"
"I'm not as perverted as you, Otoo-san. Besides, you were living with Okaa-san when you were still schooling!" Kamui bluntly exclaimed, making his father blushed.
"Wh-who's perverted! And how'd you know that?"
"Look, anata, the way you are reacting towards Kamui, indicating that you are starting to behave like Onii-chan."
"No, I'm not! And please, don't bring your elder brother into this."
"Why not? After all, he's your brother-in-law!"
With that, Kamui knew that his parents were starting to fight. If it's not because of mystical thingy or something funny happen towards his father, then it would be about his uncle, Kinomoto Touya.
At last, she surrendered to him, moving in with him at the age of 19. During that time, both of them were still schooling in Horitsuba Gakuen and almost finishing their studies. As long as she could remember, he never did something that was beyond expectation like making love to her, rather than kissing and hugging. She knew that Kamui, as a young man have those desires within him. But, he still could control his urges and respected her. As for Kazuki, she cares less about that and wouldn't really mind if the man was Kamui.
They do slept together whenever she feels like, because, by only sleeping with him, enabling her of entering her dream. She rarely dreams, to be true, but having Kamui by her side made that possible. Kamui's family were also being nice to her, especially Tsubasa, Kamui's younger sister. She kept teasing her brother, so does the mother, Sakura. Syao Ran, who rarely talks to her still making her comfortable, by telling her to inform him if Kamui had gone overboard. Kazuki just laughed a bit by hearing his statement, which earns Kamui blushing.
Her life slowly coloured when he entered her life and silently, she wished that she could do something for Kamui, even it costs her own life. Kamui, the one who nurturing her, posing as her father, her mother and most importantly her lover. Kamui were a gentlemen as well as a romantic person. He hates arguing with Kazuki and would silence himself when he sensed Kazuki was unhappy with him.
Kamui do have beautiful birthmarks within his back, which looks like a pair of wings. Kazuki noticed this when she saw him changing. At first, he reluctantly wanted to show to her, but after she insisted, he gave up. He thought that the marks making some people feared of him, but not to Kazuki. Instead, she kissed both of the wings, saying that she want to fly with Kamui's wings. Therefore, that's why Kamui cherishes her so much.
Unfortunately, their sweet dreams were not lasted forever. After Kazuki learned that Kamui knows about her position as one of the Chi no Ryuu, she decided to avoid him, afraid that her closeness to him would influenced his decision; whether to become Kamui of Ten no Ryuu or Kamui of Chi no Ryuu….
