Chapter Nine
Royal Fiance
Recovery
(After leaving from the burial ceremony, Sota didn't say a word the way home)
Ichigo: Sota..?
(Sota walked away from Ichigo with depression on his face)
Yuzu: Dad, can you do something and make Sota feel better?
King Isshin: There's nothing I can do Yuzu, Sota's going through alot today, we should just leave him alone.
Queen Misuki: Your father is right Yuzu, just let Sota recover.
Karin: And bring alot of tissues for him too.
(Ichigo wanted to do something to cheer Sota up but all he could do is listen to his family talk about recovering)
In Sota's Room...
SOTA'S POV
Why... why me? My mom was my life, she was my happiness. I've gain alot from my mom, I gain her hard work ethic and the... green thumb. Sometimes I wish I could go back to school and graduate, then go to Tokyo U but I'm home schooled and not to mention that I'm engaged to a crowned prince. He has changed alittle yesterday and today, It really questions me and not knowing that my heart keeps pounding everytime we touch too.
(Ichigo enters Sota's room checking on him to see if he's ok and he was because he fell asleep)
End Of POV
Next Day...
King Isshin: Ok it's offical that we are returning to Genovia in four days for Ichigo's wedding ceremony.
Queen Misuki: Three day!? Honey what about Sota's aunt?
King Isshin: I was thing of that too and that she would have to come live in Genoiva with us.
Queen Misuki: Maybe is not a good time right now until Sota feels better.
King Isshin: Very well.
(The girls overheard their parents conversation and ran to tell Ichigo the news)
Ichigo: Dammit to hell, what should I do to cheer him up, even if he's my fiance the least I could do is make him happy again. What do I do Ganju?
Secertary Ganju: You said his mother was his life right?
Ichigo: Right, he wrote it on his speech.
Secretary Ganju: What did his mother like to do?
Ichigo: He said she love to teach and planting veggies in her garden.
Secretary Ganju: So she was a techer, I can see that he would get his hard work ethic fom her and planting veggies is a nice hobby.
Ichigo: I just hate seeing him depressed.
Secertary Ganju: Sounds like you're developing feeling for Sota.
Ichigo: Why do you say that Ganju?
Secertary Ganju: You care about his feelings and hugged him when he cried, plus you did said your heart pounds everytime you touch, if that's not love I don't know what is.
(Ichigo blushed a bit)
Ichigo: LOVE!? I don't... I wouldn't. And it's not love.
Secertary Ganju: Ichigo you do love him, I can see it and I think you can see it too.
(As Ichigo was about to talk Yuzu and Karin walked in)
Yuzu & Karin: Ichigo, we have to tell you something.
Ichigo: What is it?
Karin: We overheard dad talking to mom about returning back to Genovia for your wedding ceremony.
Ichigo: When?
Yuzu: In four days and that Sota's aunt has to move with us to Genovia.
Ichigo: I'll go talk to him but first let me check up on Sota.
(Leaving his room and making his way to Sota's room)
*Knock knock*
Ichigo: Sota are you ok?
Sota: I'm ok, you can come in.
(Ichigo sees Sota looking at a picture of him and his mom on the end table)
Ichigo: Your mother is a really beautiful person.
Sota: She was, I see why dad feel for her.
Ichigo: Is your dad alive?
Sota: No, he died 5 years ago of lung cancer.
(Now Ichigo really feels bad for him)
Sota: If you noticed, I had my mother barried right beside with the man she loved, it was one of her wishes.
Ichigo: What was her greatest wish?
Sota: Me being happy. *Tears fall*
Sota: SHE WAS KILLED AND IT'S MY FAULT FOR NOT SAVING HER, I COULDN'T PROTECT HER THAT DAYI-I-I JUST COULN'T PROCTECT HER!
(Ichigo threw his arms quickly around Sota)
Ichigo: It's not your fault Sota, you did what you could that's all that matters and that your mom is in a better place watching over you.
Sota: Ichi...
Ichigo: Let me be your happiness, your my fiance and care deeply for you. Soon we will be married and I'll be king and you'll be my queen so I'm asking you Sota please don't blame yourself about your mother's death, just be happy.
(Sota calmed down and stayed in Ichigo's arms making a close recovery)
