What does he mean? Mizuko asked in her head. He was looking at her intensely with sparkling eyes. How? How does she make his heart hurt?
Then just so suddenly Kenshi chortles, withdrawing his hand. This playfulness he has painted this blank expression on Mizuko's face.
"Don't you dare touch me next time!" Mizuko snapped, throwing a dirty glare before walking ahead of him. She heard the stupid Kenshi laughing but she's too hurt than upset.
"Aye, come on! You're too serious!"
Mizuko didn't want to talk so she let him be loud as he gets. She was ignoring him. He wasn't the Kenshi she used to know anymore. She didn't know it was hard to be with him if you aren't someone he likes. Kenshi tells this unfavorable jokes and doing this rude caressing of her cheek ju
On the other side of Souzou, Hannock hears from his army a ridiculous story. The crown prince lives? Absurd! He was the one who killed Zhemier, his blade dug in his chest! Why must that demon live again!"Are you certain of it, Agars?" Hannock's voice rumbled in the throne room. "Wasn't it just some kind of witchcraft?!""No, my King. He has the same power you have. A snap of his fingers and one goes down. We would not retreat if we knew we weren't going to wind up dead on that land.""Agars is correct, our King. But something was wrong with him."It made Hannock raise his brows. Something was wrong? "What is it that you noticed, Kremlin?""I heard him asking Mizuko about himself. Though it was being playful since he has that little irritating smirk on his face..." Kremlin starts moving his hands, walking back and forth that the King could not understand.
Kenshi was quick to arrive at the site where his crystals told him but Mizuko wasn’t there anymore. Then he suddenly felt a sharp dull pain in his chest, enough to make him crinkle his nose.“If you were just here a little sooner, master.” Hikari’s voice was soothing like his mother’s.“Destiny has its own timing. It’s not mine to decide,” he uttered.“I bet you won’t be able to sleep tonight without seeing her,” said Yami with his teasing voice.“If so then I’ll have to see her then!” A big grin displayed on Kenshi’s mouth that had their eyes round.“What do you mean, master?” They ask
At the kitchen, Mizuko kept thinking how to get rid of Kenshi. A glass of water has been in her hand for quite the time now and she has been biting her lower lip too. It would be crazy for him to come out when he knows he didn't come from the door."Seems like there's a lot in your mind."Mizuko raise her head and saw her brother with a smile. She immediately fixed herself as her brother stands beside her. "You okay? I heard you and Kenshi went to the palace today.""Ye-Yes, I am fine!" She nervously chuckles. "And yes, we went to the castle. He wanted me to come along with him.""Do you want to talk about what happened or..." Kozuko glances at Mizuko."Nothing much happened, brother!" She walk past Kozuko and put down the glass of water on the sink
Two moons had passed by and Mizuko hasn’t heard of Kenshi—she hopes she doesn’t anymore. It would just be harder after that little incident they have inside her room.How dare him say those words? It makes her blood boil so much. He wasn’t just sorry for the kiss, he was looking for somebody else! She’s been really annoyed by Kenshi lately.“Are you okay, Mizu?” Blue asked, her voice as sweet as a cotton candy. “You have been pulling weeds like you’re pulling somebody else’s hair.”Mizuko then chuckles nervously. Her mind is easily diverted from what she should be thinking. She shakes her head and focused on what they are doing.“I apologize. I can’t help feeling bad for the plants. These weeds are taking all the nutrients,” she tells Blue wh
After a morning filled with chores Mizuko decided to rest under the tall trees. She laid down on grass and as she was about to close her eyes, she saw how the leaves would dance with the wind. Whenever the leaves does, the sunlight would break through them, making their way to her eyes. It somehow made her feel better.If everyday was just this peaceful, she would really love to just stop the moment there. Pause her sadness, burry her love and move forward. She really wants to move forward but then Kenshi's back, and he is unaware that he is hurting her.But what if Kenshi didn't forget her? Would he have done the same thing? The wonders in her makes force a smile. And just so suddenly, a face was over hers. Mizuko's eyes then widened, looking at those golden ones and those familiar smile that turned her face sour.
Before she faces Kenshi, she swallowed hard and when she did, she has that strong denial plastered on her face. “What? You are talking nonsense, your highness!”“Why does your voice shakes then?” he asked, unconvinced.“Oh, because you make me laugh with your assumptions!” she retorted. But it just lead to more suspicions.“I’ll find out what you did and make you pay for it,” he told her. It was rather a playful warning but then for Mizuko it was something to take caution to.“You won’t find anything,” she uttered, not really confident but needing to appear to be. “Anyways, we should hurry.”*To where the sound of crickets and the
Sunny afternoon. Mizuko should be practicing and getting her aim exercised but then she has three more ingredients to go. Surely finding a jasmine in the area, she thought was easy but it is not! She's starting to think that someone is purposely sabotaging her by making all the jasmines disappear. They used to be so easy to find!Now she's back in the edges of the town they are staying in Yami. They should be calling their town Hikari since all Hikari's refugees are living there."Oh, jasmine, jasmine!" She tries to be dramatic. "It sounds awful," she commented on her self.She is thankful that Kenshi has not bothered her today. It's time her heart rests a bit after all those shocking revelations and her mourning. She learned from all those.
"I don't have anything to explain! Cause like the other girls you told beautiful before, you did the same to me!" Mizuko yells."Lie," Kenshi uttered sternly."It's the truth!""That's why I like coming after you like this. You only speak of the truth when you're provoked.""What?!" Mizuko scoffed, her mean persona coming to view with those sharp eyes of her and that crossed brows. "Come closer to me and I will really kick your ass! Do you want me dead or something? You keep pickin' on me!""I just need the truth, MG." Kenshi's eyes were piercing at Mizuko.It made her face soft but she can't die tonight! She has not said goodbye to her father, Kozuko, Miranda. And she is yet to find another way.
