Chapter 16: Goodbye Pt. 1

Kouji Hashimoto

Today is an another day. It wasn't like before. After what she called me I can't focus but I know I must not failed my organization. I'm their leader, I shall fulfill my duty.

But how? When all I want is to elope with her?

I left Yomato behind. I should give him the final test but before that I'm hoping to see Osuna again and I promised that I will gonna tell her the truth. All truth.

I'm back in the fields that we go on yesterday and I discovered something that Naoya asked someone to help him. I'll find that person tonight but before everything I should talk to her.

While I'm walking someone's hands blindfolded me.

"Let's pretend you don't know this person. Let's pretend you are the heroine. Let's pretend... Let's pretend~" she sang so softly with so much pure emotions.

"You can't see me nor hear me. Although you can feel my heart and palm. Darling, darling I'm so sorry~" I'm still letting her to sing even this sounding more and more sadly.

"I can't be yours, I'm not truly yours. I'm his and not yours. Walk away my dearest because it is goodbye~" Slowly she removed her hands.

I faced her she's smiling. "Ohayo, my name is Osuna Mitsuki."

Those lines want me to break down.

"I hope you understand my song."

"I didn't, please tell me..."

"It was a song for someone who's not the heroine of the story and not the love interest of his beloved. His beloved sang for him her feelings hoping he'll forget about her."

"Osuna..."

"Forget about me... I'm getting married this day. I only seek out for you."

"Why did you?"

"I want to say farewell. I just got betrothed long time ago that I didn't even know."

I looked at her eyes. It was meaningless. She's in pain.

"Osuna elope with me. I'm ready to give up everything for you."

She smiles bitterly. "I can't. The only person I want to elope with is Mitsuru."

Those words is thorns but I just smiled at her.

"Let me tell you something... I'm not from here."

There's she goes again saying that she's didn't belong here.

"Even Mitsuru broke his promises, your heart and let his best friend died you still love him?" I asked trying to hold my tears.

She grabbed my hands. "At first I thought you'll be my first love but you kept pushing me away that I have been fallen to Mitsuru and not you. I'm still happy because... "

"Because?"

"Nevermind... "

"Osuna, I'm a fallen noble. Actually I'm never been birthed as a noble. I'm a son of a poor farmer, the oldest. Then someone noticed my intelligence and they wanted to adopt me. Mr. Kagesa favored me too much because I'm like a genius more than to his own blood related sons. But I want all so I killed all of them. I'm greedy because that what they thought me. That's how they made me."

Let her to know my story is quite difficult. I can... Then she hug me.

"I'm still happy because now I know you. I know my fault that I need to fix. Thank you Kouji." I hug her back.

After a mere minute she separated from me. She bows at me. "Someday you'll see me again. Maybe in that another life we will end up together."

After she said that she walks away. I let her be. This only woken me up. I'll die with no regrets. Tonight must be an amazing show. I slowly walk away from where I'm standing erasing all my love for Osuna.

I thought that she will choose me but she end it for the three of us. Even then I'm not forcing her. She just made me realize how pathetic I am when it comes to love.

Maybe that's why we didn't work out because I'm acting numb.

It may sound fast to you like a lightning speed but I'm focusing now. I'm ready to find Saizo.

Shin Katara

Why I can't help him... Why did I made things more worse than now it is. My tears slowly falling down while I'm lowering my head. I want to bow to every person. I slowly saw Yuriko waiting for me. I suddenly tremble and fall. Yuriko run to me and asked me if I'm okay but I can only cry.

I'm so confused to my feelings. I don't know anymore. It's so hard... So hard that I can't even think straight anymore.

Kouji has a point but I don't want to give him false hopes.

"Miss, let's go you need to clean your self because two hours later you're getting married."

I can't speak. I'm too weak. She help me stand and we walk home. When we arrived I saw father smiling but then his smile slowly fade away.

"Osuna? Is there's a problem? Your eyes are bloodshot red!"

I looked at him arrogantly. "Yes there is! I don't want this marriage. You already took Mitsuru away from me! Banned me to see Kouji and now this?! What did I do to you?! I'm always an obedient daughter, no, slave!"

Yuriko was surprised and so does my brothers. "I hate you so much! I hate you!" I storm off inside and held to my room and then I let out all the pain I feel inside my heart.

Yuriko come inside to my room and lock the door.

"Miss, I'm worried about your safety so I locked the door but please let's get dressing. I can't bare to be parted away from you for not doing my job."

"I understand you. let's get going."
