~The broken otsutsuki~

chapter 11

6 hours had passed then Solana woke up. She rubbed her eyes and looked at jigen to find him in the same position he fell asleep. "How did you stay like that while sleeping?" She thought. A couple mintues later she sat up then felt something on her foot. She looked at it to find the bandage that boy put on her. She stared at it as she remembered everything from that night.

Solana soon pushed those thoughts away and looked up at jigen. "He looks so peaceful. Should I wake him up? I still have the question I need to ask. And he did say later" She thought to herself stepping out of the bed then walked in front of him. Solana lifted her hand and brought it towards his face but before she reached it jigen grabbed her wrist which surprised her.

"What are you doing Solana?" He asked not opening his eyes and still gripping her wrist. Solana blinked. "I didnt know you were awake" she replied. Jigen tightened his hold causing the girl to let out a small yelp and shut her eyes. "Answer my question". "I..I was going to wake you up" she said with her eyes still tightly closed. Jigen finally opened his eyes and looked at the girl.

He stared for a brief moment before letting her wrist go. Solana opened her eyes as she stumbled back then looked at jigen who crossed his legs and folded his hands putting them in his lap. "Is..that something you do in your sleep?" Solana asked while gently rubbing her wrist. "No" he replied and watched her walk and get back into the bed.

"You had something you wanted to ask?" He said. She looked at him and nodded. "Its about the otsutsuki" she said. "What about it?". "Could you tell me about them?" Jigen stared at her with a straight face. Solana noticed his expression. "You dont have to answer. I just thought you knew about it" she said. "Did I say I knew about it?" He replied.

Solana looked down then shook her head. Jigen closed his eyes. Isshiki was debating if he should tell her. I mean what's the point of saying all of this to her when shes destined to die soon. Solana stared at him. "Could you consider it a small parting gift?" She hesitantly asked. Jigen opened his eyes. "The otsutsuki is a clan that's been traveling through dimensions for countless eons. They each posses eminse power and a strong will".

Solana nodded and listened. "A millennium ago the clan sent two otsutsuki to earth. One of the two ended up betraying the other leaving them on the brink of death" he said. Solana eyes widened. "Why would they do that? Weren't they both on the same side?" She asked. Jigen stared at her. He only mentioned that part to her because he wanted to see if she knew who they were.

"That's all I know about it" Jigen said. "Oh..well thank you for telling me jigen" she said then smiled. Jigen didnt reply and looked down. "I feel bad for the one who got betrayed" solana said causing him to look at her. "And why is that?" He asked. "I wasnt there so I wouldnt know the circumstances..but I feel like they didnt deserve that".

Jigen continued staring at her. "Didnt deserve that.." he thought. "What do you mean?" He asked. Solana laid down and stared at the ceiling. "They came to earth in pair meaning they must have spent a while together. So I cant imagine what went through their head when they were betrayed by their own partner" she said as she looked at him.

"And if they did somehow survive considering they arent from earth they knew nobody. They were all alone" she said as her eyes begun to water. Jigen watched as tears fell from her cheek. "Its sad once you really think about it. Who knows how long they were by themself. Being betrayed by your partner then having not a single person to talk to. That's alot to handle" she said.

Jigen eyes widened. "If they managed to outrun death on a planet which they knew not one person being alone would be alot to handle for them. So why are you the one crying? I'm certain they wernt shedding tears" He said. Solana looked at him. "How can you be so sure?" She asked. "Crying wont change anything. You yourself should be aware of that by now" he said. "Doesn't everyone cr-". "They did not" he interrupted her in a serious tone.

Solana stared at him for his sudden action. "oh.." she quietly said. Jigen rested his head on his fingers. Solana looked back at the ceiling then closed her eyes. The two sat in silence for the next few mintues until she opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Do you have another room?" She asked. "Is there a problem with this one?" Solana blinked then smiled. "Asking a question before answering mine?" She said mocking what he said when they met. Jigen gave a small smile. "She mocks me now?" He thought.

"I'll still answer your question even though you didnt answer mine. Theres nothing wrong with this room. In fact I love it. If I could I'd stay in here forever" She said. Jigen looked at her. "I do not have another room" he said. Solana gasped and sat up. "So where have you been sleeping?". Jigen stared at her. "I'm sure you've asked me that before. That was the first time I've actually rested since I brought you here" He said.
